Chapter 978 – 978. Ascension To The Light
I asked him in more detail about the group called Mukjiryoun.
Mukjiryoun was a force active in this area. In modern terms, they were gangsters. No, they were a criminal organization closer to the mafia.
They were involved in all sorts of illegal activities: black markets, human trafficking, gambling, contract killings, and more.
He trembled as he spoke about Mukjiryoun. His fear of them was ingrained in his bones.
“If, if you’re thinking of fighting Mukjiryoun, you should stop. No matter how great a hero you are, you can’t stand against Mukjiryoun…”
“Who do you think you are, giving me unsolicited advice?”
*Thwack!*
He shut his mouth and lowered his head after I hit him again.
“Hey, Seong Jigone! You heard the story too, right?”
I turned my head back and called out to Seong Jigone. He was having his way with the old woman, enjoying a doggy-style position.
“Uh, uh, yeah. I heard it, Yujin.”
“They say someone from Mukjiryoun is coming tonight. What do you want to do?”
“I’ll… I’ll follow your lead, Yujin. Old hag! How’s my dick?!”
“Good…! Good…!”
“Ugh, mother…!”
The situation was somewhat settled, but it felt like a complete mess.
“When will the members who were drugged and fell asleep wake up?”
I didn’t want to go through the trouble of burning away the drug’s effects with my inner energy like Seong Jigone did.
“They should wake up in about two shichen.”
“Two shichen? That’s shorter than I thought.”
“It’s short, but they’re in a very deep sleep. They wouldn’t know even if they died…”
“I guess that’s true.”
Two shichen. That was four hours in our time. It wasn’t a short time, though it varied from person to person. And they could be put back to sleep if they were given the drug again when they woke up.
‘They’ll wake up around evening, so there’s no need to wake them up now.’
***
The sun grew dim, and the Cheolodan members who had fallen into a deep sleep from the Silhon drug began to wake up. I roughly explained the situation to them. Their faces contorted with shock and anger.
“What the hell!”
“We were drugged!”
“If it weren’t for Seong Yujin, we might have really died.”
If Seong Jigone and I hadn’t insisted on resting at the inn, this wouldn’t have happened, but they were smart enough not to say it out loud.
The members were furious, but they shook their heads as they looked at one particular spot.
“Keok! Keok! I’m gonna die…! I’m dying!!”
The old woman was being violated by Seong Jigone. Seong Jigone was drenched in sweat. He had great stamina, but it wasn’t infinite like mine. He overcame his limited stamina with experience and technique.
“W-was Seong Jigone always like that…?”
“He’s really doing it with that old hag…”
“H-how is it arousing? Seeing her shake her hips like that, the old hag’s pussy must be amazing.”
Everyone’s shocked gaze turned to one person. He scratched his head awkwardly and smiled.
“…Of course, I’m just joking.”
The members’ mood relaxed. However, there was fear in their eyes as they looked at Seong Jigone. It was a vague fear of seeing something grotesque.
“Haa, haa! I’m coming!”
“Omaeeeee!”
Seong Jigone’s final release began. He even kissed the old woman and ejaculated his hot, fresh semen into her old pussy. The two intertwined bodies writhed like maggots. The old woman slumped and fainted, while Seong Jigone got up with a refreshed face.
“Hoo. She was a delicious old hag. It’s a shame to only do it once. Yujin, can I take this old hag with me?”
“I don’t care. You manage her yourself.”
“Don’t worry. Woo Youngtae will help me.”
There was one person whose face turned ashen along with Woo Youngtae. It was the old woman’s son.
“N-no! My mother! Please save my mother! If she’s treated like a sex slave at her age… she’ll end up dying!”
The members’ faces twisted horribly. They were furious that the guy who tried to kill them was acting like this. If I hadn’t been here, the ronin would have beaten him to death.
“Woo Youngtae.”
“Yes, Seong Yujin.”
“That guy is your friend now. Manage him.”
“Understood.”
Woo Youngtae lowered his head. A smile formed on his lips. It was the moment Woo Youngtae, who had only been on the receiving end, got a stress-relief punching bag.
“Yujin, are we staying here tonight?”
Seong Jigone, who had changed his clothes, asked with a refreshed expression. I looked around. Everyone was looking at me.
“Someone from a place called Mukjiryoun is coming soon. They’re coming to trade with this guy. We’re going to rob them.”
“Seong Yujin! Did you say Mukjiryoun?!”
Jin Gu-eon, the leader of Cheolodan, asked with a serious face.
“Why? Do you know them?”
“There isn’t a ronin around here who doesn’t know them. Mukjiryoun… they’re too much for a single ronin group to handle. They suddenly appeared about five years ago and quickly took control of the dark side of this area.”
I looked at the other members. They also seemed to fear Mukjiryoun like Jin Gu-eon.
“Jin Gu-eon, I’m not saying we should fight all of Mukjiryoun. I’m saying we should rob the Mukjiryoun guys who are coming here.”
“You have to think about the consequences.”
“Consequences? Hey, what’s our goal? The Manmu Tower, right? We’re going to get stronger with martial arts and elixirs in the Manmu Tower. Then, we can establish a base somewhere else, not here. Or what? Are we going to come back here?”
“B-but… our families…”
“More than half of you don’t have families. And after you get stronger in the Manmu Tower, Mukjiryoun or whatever won’t be able to touch you. And I’ll divide the profits we get today fairly. We’ll share it equally. I heard those guys are bringing at least 200 gold.”
“200 gold… is that true?”
“They’re coming to buy people. Of course.”
*Gulp.*
I could hear people swallowing their saliva here and there.
When specific money was mentioned, the ronin’s eyes changed. With 200 gold, each person could get 6 gold.
“Are you really going to distribute it fairly?”
“Jin Gu-eon, have you been getting hit less lately?”
“…Sorry. I’ll trust you.”
“We shouldn’t underestimate them. So, let’s make a plan. That Silhon drug we were hit with. Let’s use it.”
***
A group of people walked towards the Odong Inn. They were all wearing conical hats and black robes. Seven suspicious-looking people entered the Odong Inn under the cover of darkness.
“Oh, welcome. You’re from Mukjiryoun, right? We’ve been waiting for you.”
Shin Gu-bo, the chef of the Odong Inn, greeted them as if he had been waiting. One of the seven, the largest man, stepped forward. Shin Gu-bo was familiar with him. He was a regular customer.
“It’s been a while. But Mayo isn’t here?”
“Yes, it’s been a while, Mo Bi-seol. My mother is unconscious right now. It’s the first time she’s caught over 30 big fish…”
“She must have overdone it. She’s getting old, so it must be hard.”
“S-still, she’s very healthy.”
Shin Gu-bo felt his heart race as Mo Bi-seol stared at him intently. Shin Gu-bo’s face and body were originally covered in bruises. However, thanks to the potion Seong Yujin gave him, he was now clean.
‘Please… please realize something is wrong… I can’t let my mother be taken as a sex slave like this. And I’ll be used as well…’
He couldn’t directly ask Mo Bi-seol for help. His mother was currently being held captive by the ronin group. The moment he made a rash move, his mother would die.
“The food…”
Mo Bi-seol’s gaze turned to the side. On one table, dishes with steaming food were prepared.
Human meat. Dishes made with humans as ingredients. Human hands and feet, organs, and brains were cooked appetizingly.
“Perfect. The smell alone makes my mouth water. Your cooking skills are excellent as always.”
“T-thank you for the compliment.”
They naturally went to the table and sat down.
“But where are the other humans?”
“They’re in the next room. Let’s eat first.”
“Hmm. Okay.”
Mo Bi-seol and the others from Mukjiryoun took off their conical hats. Only three of them looked like normal humans. The other four had grotesque faces, with twisted features, four eyes, or three mouths. They were demons who had mastered demonic arts, and monsters who were different from birth.
Mo Bi-seol was a monster. Unlike his deep voice, his face was that of a newborn baby. He had no hair, his cheeks were plump, and his two eyes were round. However, his open mouth was full of sharp teeth.
Mo Bi-seol’s chopsticks first went to the brain dish. He cut a piece of the softly boiled human brain with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His face immediately contorted.
“This… it’s not as good as usual.”
“I’m sorry. My mother is usually the expert at brain dishes… but she’s asleep right now…”
“It can’t be helped. It’s not inedible, so I’ll just eat it.”
The meal began in earnest.
“Kuh… eyes are the best delicacy…”
“Human thigh meat is the most delicious. I don’t know why you eat the organs.”
“Don’t you eat the organs? Give me that stir-fried intestines.”
“The best part is the dick. Look at this fried dick.”
“Oh, sister. If you like dicks so much, why don’t you suck mine?”
“Show it to me. I’ll suck it. But I’ll chew it up at the end.”
They chuckled and enjoyed the human meat.
*Thud.*
One of them fell onto the table. Everyone’s gaze turned to the fallen man at the sudden event.
*Thud. Thud. Thud.*
One after another, they fell asleep.
Mo Bi-seol, the only one left, immediately grasped the situation and shouted in anger.
“Shin Gu-bo!! You drugged the food!”
“Hic! I-I had no choice! My mother is everything to me!”
“Do you know what you’ve done…”
*Thud.*
Mo Bi-seol’s large head fell onto the table.
Shin Gu-bo sat down on the floor. With this, he and Mukjiryoun could never be together again.
“Good job, Shin Gu-bo.”
Seong Yujin and the ronin, who had been secretly hiding outside the inn, walked into the inn.
***
I patted Shin Gu-bo’s shoulder, who was kneeling on the floor. Shin Gu-bo lowered his head with a pale face.
“Huk… they really eat human meat.”
“Are they demons?”
“They’re monsters. Monsters. Monsters pretending to be humans. I’ve only heard about them, but seeing them in person… it’s disgusting.”
“Yujin! Look at this! This woman has three mouths!”
I turned to look at them. The woman with three mouths had two more mouths on both of her cheeks. She was ugly, so I shook my head.
“What are you doing? It’s an opportunity. Kill them all. And take their belongings.”
“Yes, Seong Yujin.”
“Huk! This pouch is full of gold!”
“This guy is carrying martial arts techniques too?”
“It’s an elixir!”
“Look at this heavy pouch! It’s full of gold!”
The members were making a fuss. The more they searched the pouches, the more valuable things came out.
A smile formed on my lips. Things were going smoothly.
“We’ll share it equally, so bring everything. And kill those bastards.”
“Yes!”
The members took up their weapons. *Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack.* The sound of flesh being pierced echoed. Blood pooled on the floor. They would never rise again.
“Um, Seong Yujin. I found a strange note.”
“A note?”
Jin Gu-eon handed me a note. I widened my eyes as I looked at the note. 2AVFF-CA0QJH. It was a letter from Earth that shouldn’t exist in this world.
‘…Wait a minute. Are they using Earth’s letters as a code?’
[Ascension to the Light] was a mix of different worlds. Among them, there were two beings besides me who could use Earth’s letters.
One was Shin Jong-woo, the protagonist of the otherworld’s Cheonma. He was killed by my hand after transmigrating.
The other was the protagonist of ‘I Woke Up and Became a Cheonma.’ I decided to call him the possessed Cheonma. He wasn’t a good protagonist. He was the type to use everything to his advantage, even if it meant using evil forces.
‘Is that guy behind Mukjiryoun?’
I became interested in Mukjiryoun.
“Uh, uh?”
“W-what is this bastard!”
“Why isn’t he dying?!”
“Something, something is dangerous!”
Suddenly, the surroundings became noisy. The baby-faced man with knives all over his body.
‘Was he the monster named Mo Bi-seol?’
He was getting up with a sinister smile. Blood was dripping from his mouth, and three knives were stuck in his torso.
“Eungae. You’re doing very cute things. Ronin bugs. I’ll suck you all dry, down to your souls.”
