15.

Was the word “proposal” something that could roll off the tongue so easily?

“….”

It was a sound uttered without any shame or responsibility from the start. So it would be rather foolish to be shaken by it.

But….

Thud-!

Ian, who chose to cover his ears instead, kicked off the ground and leaped high into the air. The villagers’ mouths fell open at the sight of him soaring like a bird.

Whoosh-!

As Ian swung his dagger to cut through the air, the sound of wind echoed around them.

“Did something just flash before my eyes?”

“Can wind sounds come from human hands?”

“The way he’s flying around is better than big brother.”

The villagers, who had been blinking in disbelief at the incredible sight, came to their senses and praised Ian.

***

Calisia and Ian, who had safely joined the Subjugation Force, climbed the Mountain following the villagers. Ian, whose shoulders seemed mysteriously raised after demonstrating his Dagger Technique, took the lead alongside Axe.

“Uh, umm…. Why is my body trembling like this?”

Calisia, who had been diligently climbing the Mountain, frowned deeply. It was because of the terrible anxiety she suddenly felt.

Her heart was pounding like crazy and her skin was tingling all over. Taking a deep breath, she clenched and unclenched her trembling hands.

Every time she blinked, she saw the afterimage of two pairs of bleeding eyes.

“Damn! Who is it!”

Calisia, who had burst out in irritation without realizing it, looked around with sharp eyes. Guilt, fear, worry—this anxiety covering her entire body wasn’t her own.

Calisia’s red eyes quickly darted around, scanning the group members. She needed to find out who she was empathizing with.

“You!”

She, who had been rolling her eyes constantly, suddenly ran up the Mountain and grabbed someone’s arm. It was a man called Spotted Man because of the large spots on his face.

“Your hand!”

She angrily shouted in a fiery voice and flipped Spotted Man’s hand over.

“Wh, what!”

The flustered Spotted Man struggled desperately to pull his caught hand away. But for some reason, his strength kept draining, making it difficult.

“Haven’t your dreams been rough lately?”

Calisia, emanating an ominous atmosphere, stared piercingly into Spotted Man’s eyes.

“What, what are you talking about….”

“Two pairs of eyes shedding bloody tears.”

Spotted Man’s body trembled mercilessly as tears streamed down his face.

“It’s you. The one who took an axe to the Guardian Post.”

Calisia’s cold gaze fell upon the palm full of torn wounds.

***

-Oh my! Oh my! Listen here! Please save me! I really don’t remember anything at all!

After sending the crying and wailing Spotted Man back to the Village, Calisia resumed the mountain trek.

“But brothers, isn’t it unusual for an entire Village to suffer from tiger disasters?”

Calisia, who was crossing the Mid-Mountain along the bumpy path, asked the men a question.

“Usually, that’s right.”

“But what grudge do the tigers of this Mountain have against the people here to act like this?”

“Haven’t you heard the rumors?”

One of the men asked back with a question mark, wondering if she really knew nothing.

“What rumors?”

“The Mugwort Field.”

“The Mugwort Field?”

When Calisia wrinkled her nose as if she had no idea, the men groaned.

“I thought you knew nothing from the time we were looking for the dead Tiger Hunter. Haven’t you heard the rumors? That there’s miraculous Mugwort in Tiger Disaster Village that can even bring the dead back to life.”

“Mugwort that can bring the dead back to life?”

“What was it called. Right, a panacea. But that’s all nonsense. What kind of panacea.”

The man who snorted clenched his fist, saying just thinking about it made his blood boil.

“If it’s not a panacea then?”

“That Mugwort kills people. Those damn tigers carry people there to use as fertilizer!”

The man, whose neck had turned red with anger, stabbed his Spear hard into the ground.

Dong-

Thud!

Drum sounds echoed from the sky and once again a long Scroll unfolded in the air.

[ Chapter 2: The Mugwort Field of the Abandoned Tiger Clan ]

※ Dangun Mythology

Long ago, Hwanung descended from heaven and told Bear and Tiger…

If they entered a dark Cave and endured eating only twenty cloves of Garlic and a handful of Mugwort for a hundred days, they could become human.

However, Tiger could not endure for even a few days and ran out of the Cave. Thus Bear became human, while Tiger remained merely a beast.

》This is a Mugwort Field created by the Tiger Clan who could not let go of their obsession with their ancient failure to become human. Changgui, ghosts eaten by tigers, manage it in their stead.

? Mission: Harvest Mugwort while avoiding Changgui

! Reward: Bone-Transforming Medicinal Mugwort

※ Removes all status ailments currently applied to the body. (High blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, lung disease, etc….)

× Failure: Employment at the Mugwort Field

Calisia and Ian analyzed the contents written on the Scroll with a calmer attitude than before.

“Heart disease.”

“Heart disease!”

The two people who were reading through the text looked at each other at the mention of heart disease.

“Lakies. It seems that Bone-Transforming medicine is a cure for my heart.”

Dong-

Thud!

The drum sound was heard again and the surroundings flashed black. And in the moment they blinked once, the Mid-Mountain setting had somehow changed to the peak.

-Unfair! So unfair! What are mere Mugwort and Garlic to block this Mountain Lord’s path! Fine! This body needs neither heaven! Nor Hwanung!

A clear voice echoed through the Mountain and a vast Mugwort Field spread out.

“…Chang, Changgui!”

At Axe’s words, everyone quickly hid behind rocks and trees. What was wandering around the Mugwort Field was a Changgui with a gaping hole in its chest.

-Grr, urgh

With long disheveled hair and sharp teeth, its body was covered in blood from being torn apart. The Changgui drooled black saliva while looking at the arms and legs of people stuck in the Mugwort Field.

“Ugh!”

“U, urp!”

At the horrific sight, the villagers held their breath and covered their mouths. What was even harder to bear was the terrible stench assaulting their noses. They held back the urge to vomit immediately and only shed tears.

“Kik, kik.”

A sinister laugh crept through the fearful crying. Ian, whose nerves were on edge at that sound, turned his head to the side.

Calisia, with her head down, was trembling slightly and grinning from ear to ear. It was because she couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of curing her heart.

“….”

Ian, who confirmed her expression, made a dubious face and stepped back.

“Lakies. I’ll handle the Changgui, so cover me from behind. If a tiger appears, you’ll have to deal with it.”

Calisia, who had been savoring her joy, rolled up her sleeves as she spoke.

“That’s enough.”

A long arm blocked the path of Calisia, who had stepped forward with great momentum.

“I’ll handle this, so you stay back.”

Ian, displaying his chivalrous spirit, took up his weapon and assumed an attack stance.

“Ha! You’re the one who should stay back. Ghost Gate Observation.”

Calisia snorted and blocked Ian’s view. It would be troublesome if he got possessed by the Changgui here.

“Don’t you remember getting hit by me in the Grassland last time? This big sister will handle the scary ghost, so our Ghost Gate Observation should rest.”

Calisia, full of bravado, left the speechless Ian behind and charged toward the Mugwort Field. After all, disobedient ghosts needed a good punch as medicine.

Clatter!

Calisia, who had sprinted forward at full speed, raised her arm high into the sky. The cool wind pleasantly ruffled through her hair, and sweet dreams quickly flashed before her eyes.

-Muhahahaha!

The image of the Changgui kneeling with both hands raised and herself claiming the mugwort. Then the scene of wildly shooting flames with her new heart.

The days of worrying, fretting, and being anxious about becoming roasted chicken were now farewell.

“Here I go!”

Whoosh!

A fist filled with pink dreams cut through the wind.

However,

The moment she swung her fist—

Instead of a satisfying impact sound, the sound of cutting through empty air brushed past her ears. Her fist, which had passed through the Changgui’s body with disappointing speed, fell powerlessly downward.

“Huh…?”

Calisia, who lost her balance in the unexpected situation, tumbled straight into the Mugwort Field.
