36.

The stomach that had been churning as if struck by an earthquake began to vomit up what it contained.

-Gwaewaeeeeeeekeeeeek!

With a disgusting sound, the contents inside surged back like a tsunami. Sticky gastric fluid mixed with corpses was vomited out, and the two finally escaped from the creature’s belly interior.

The violent vibrations even shattered the water element that had been protecting the two. Thanks to this, Wi Gong-un and Seon-o, covered in gastric fluid, crashed to the floor.

Just then, a demon that had been hiding behind a door and watching the situation discovered the two and shouted loudly.

“Li-living humans!”

Only then did the demons realize why their master was convulsing, and their gazes immediately pierced toward the two. Seon-o felt his throbbing head and grabbed Wi Gong-un by the collar, lifting him up in one swift motion.

Wi Gong-un, who had been holding his aching head when his collar was suddenly grabbed, looked at Seon-o with an incredulous expression.

“Kill them!”

About a hundred demons rushed forward with flashing eyes.

However, before those guys could even get close to the two, they had half their bodies cut off by the sharp water sword that Seon-o created using the gastric fluid.

It was fast and precise skill.

The demons’ corpses scattered, mixed with the gastric fluid.

“….”

Wi Gong-un’s eyes narrowed as he witnessed Seon-o’s abilities with his own eyes.

‘I underestimated him….’

Then Seon-o, who had barely caught his breath, looked at Wi Gong-un and whispered in a resolute voice.

“I’ll handle this place, so escape in the meantime. Got it?”

Es. cape?

That word pressed down hard on another one of Wi Gong-un’s buttons.

Wi Gong-un was a poison superhuman, and poison superhumans had ambiguous aspects when it came to being combat-type superhumans. Their specialty lay in creating more vicious and sinister poisons, and their killing techniques were always used secretly and covertly.

They created poisons that wouldn’t change even when touched by silver, or poisons that had the same water content, texture, taste, color, and consistency, allowing them to be fed to targets without suspicion. Finding ways to use poison without being detected was the main focus of poison superhumans.

Skilled poison superhumans could of course materialize poison and use it for attacks. However, there were limits since the amount of poison that existed in nature wasn’t that vast.

No matter how much one reached the level of drawing Yin Power from empty air where nothing existed, it was proportional to the amount of Yin Power permeating this world. Poison existed in such small quantities that it couldn’t even be compared to things like fire, light, water, earth, and plants.

Therefore, it was established fact and truth that poison superhumans were weaker and more useless than other superhumans in physical combat. And that was naturally one of Wi Gong-un’s trigger buttons.

At nine years old, before awakening as a super-deity, Wi Gong-un had lived receiving worried looks about how such a weak poison superhuman could take responsibility for the family clan.

Seon-o had once again cruelly poked at his weakness. Though it wasn’t intentional this time, Wi Gong-un was still hurt by the result.

However, there was something Seon-o was overlooking.

The important fact that Wi Gong-un wasn’t just any poison superhuman.

At that moment, a huge shadow fell over the two’s heads.

Wi Gong-un and Seon-o simultaneously raised their heads to look up.

The Golden Salamander, dripping dirty gastric fluid from its mouth, was looking at the two with flashing eyes. With murderous eyes, as if it knew exactly who had torn through its stomach.

Seon-o tensed up and gripped his Yin Stone tightly, feeling as if a massive cliff was moving. No matter how much it was a demon that had its Yin Stone stolen, the opponent was a giant demon that had lived for over a thousand years, accumulating Yin Power.

He needed to stay sharp.

‘This side has a chance too. This is the riverside after all.’

Seon-o was now confident in manipulating water element for attacks.

“While I block it, go to the back….”

That was the moment.

A massive red light flashed from beside Seon-o-.

“?!”

Wi Gong-un, who had instantly transformed into a massive Red Dragon, fiercely charged at the creature.

Seon-o’s mouth fell open at the overwhelming massive size of the Red Dragon.

‘Dragon Transformation…!’

A super-deity’s Dragon Transformation.

He hadn’t expected to be able to see it this early.

He had the illusion that an endless red pillar was flying before his eyes. Only after seeing the scales densely embedded in that pillar did Seon-o realize he was looking at a dragon.

Wi Gong-un’s Red Dragon was much more massive than the four dragons of the Demon Beast Cave and was awe-inspiring to the point of giving him chills. Mysterious golden flashes swept over the densely packed red scales. Following his gaze along the smoothly maintained body, he could see the Red Dragon’s snake-like slender pupils and dignified face.

The long, narrow snout gave it a refined face that felt like the king of serpents, making it captivating. However, the magnificent red horns growing above its head proved that it was a true dragon.

The vast space, so high that the ceiling couldn’t be seen, was completely filled with the Golden Salamander and Red Dragon, creating the illusion of entering a world of giants.

In an instant, the Red Dragon rushed at the Golden Salamander with terrifying killing intent, opening its maw wide to bite and tear at its neck, causing the Golden Salamander to let out a bone-chilling scream.

“Kaaaaaaaaaak-!”

In a flash, golden flesh from its neck was torn away with wet ripping sounds as blood spurted like a fountain.

“Kaaaak! Kaaaaaaak!”

The Golden Salamander, its eyes rolling back from pain, fiercely leaped up from its spot and viciously reached out toward the Red Dragon. Sharp claws protruded from its rock-like fingers.

“Get away!”

As Seon-o unconsciously shouted, the Red Dragon snorted as if amused and lightly dodged. It was agile movement that didn’t match its massive body.

Having easily avoided the Golden Salamander’s claws, the Red Dragon immediately swung its solid tail with full force, striking the creature’s face hard.

Kwaaaaang!

“Keoooooook!”

The Golden Salamander staggered from the tremendous impact but quickly regained its balance and flashed its eyes sharply.

As the enraged creature opened its maw wide, the mouth on its belly also followed suit, opening its lips wide. A disgusting stench poured out from both mouths.

“Ugh!”

Seon-o quickly raised his arm to cover his nose and mouth. The Red Dragon also tried to avoid the stench reaching toward it, but ended up taking a proper hit from the Golden Salamander’s swinging fist.

Kwaaaaaaang!

As the Red Dragon was slammed into the wall, a tremendous earthquake occurred and the entire giant chamber shook, half-collapsing.

“Huk.”

Even the startled Seon-o couldn’t withstand the vibration and sat down heavily. When he raised his head again, he saw the Red Dragon, having quickly regained its balance, soaring even higher. The Golden Salamander roared in frustration and opened its maw even wider.

Then a green-colored stench poured from its mouth.

‘Green stench! Oh no!’

That stench was the Golden Salamander’s Flesh Poison. It was a deadly poison created by condensing and re-condensing the toxins that had accumulated in the bodies of all the sacrifices it had consumed over time.

The thick green stench, visible to the naked eye, grew denser and finally rose high enough to reach the Red Dragon that had flown up to the ceiling. Wi Gong-un, not knowing what kind of smoke this was, was preparing to descend as if to attack again through the smoke.

‘No…!’

Seon-o, covering his mouth again, concentrated all his mental energy. He could feel the Water Element lurking everywhere with his entire body.

Drawing up all the Water Element he could sense, Seon-o clenched his fingers as if grasping the water element in his hands, then spread them out, causing the wall surfaces all around to burst open as fierce waterfalls poured forth.

Shwaaaaa!

When Seon-o contracted his hand once more, the waterfalls instantly dispersed like mist, absorbing the high-rising stench. The moisture that absorbed the stench at a terrifying speed clumped together.

That mass sharply plummeted into the Golden Salamander’s maw as Seon-o pointed his finger downward.

“Keoheoooook!”

Caught off guard by the unexpected surprise attack, the Golden Salamander clutched its throat and staggered. Having swallowed its own lump of Flesh Poison, the creature’s eyes rolled back, and Wi Gong-un didn’t miss the opportunity.

The Red Dragon descended in a straight line and bit the staggering salamander’s neck again, tearing at its throat far more violently than before. The salamander’s neck bone snapped and its head bent pathetically.

“Kahaaaaaaak…”

Finally, the creature’s body, its breath cut off, toppled backward.

Kuuuuuuuung-!

With that vibration, a massive earthquake occurred and the ceiling, which had been precariously crumbling from the start, began to collapse.
