Chapter 158: Why Are You Making Her Cry?

The undead dark mage Carmen was hurriedly heading north to Moscow.

The situation had changed rapidly.

This was not the time to scatter their forces.

She needed to join her master who was currently holding out inside Moscow.

Because of the counterattack by the European Imperial Army led by Emperor Alex Caesar?

What was there to fear from those insignificant fools?

They were nothing but food to fatten the Undead Monster Legion.

The variable that had emerged was something else entirely.

Kim Tae-ju.

Her master’s adversary.

A powerful soul connector.

He had appeared.

The elders who had been reborn through her master’s grace were being eliminated one by one.

Yonson, Matsumoto and Abraham too—all of them were dead.

– I must hurry before it’s too late…

However!

Swoooosh!

– Aaaaah!

A human riding a single sword blocked the legion’s path.

– …Kim Tae-ju.

He had finally appeared after all.

The undead monsters hesitated, unable to advance forward.

Carmen’s heart also turned cold.

Even when she was human, she had never felt like this.

Terrifying.

It felt like her entire body would be torn to shreds.

His strength was impossible to measure.

Just like her master.

One undead monster charged forward, unable to overcome its fear.

However.

Sizzzzzzle!

It melted away before it could even get close.

– My, my goodness.

Wasn’t that the aura barrier of a Beyond Elite monster?

How could a human possess such power…

The undead threw themselves forward like moths to a flame.

It was impossible to control them.

Sizzle, sizzle! Sizzzzle!

They all melted away.

Along with acrid smoke.

* * *

Originally, Poison Gas Emission was a technique that spread poison into the air.

For the purpose of poisoning, very subtly, to the point where the target couldn’t notice.

But after awakening Toxic Spirit, Poison Gas Emission became something on a completely different dimension from before.

He could densely compress and gather poison gas to manifest it in the form of an aura barrier.

Sizzle, sizzzzle.

The undead were erased with just a touch.

But it still had the drawback of consuming a great deal of energy.

‘That’s enough with the Poison Gas Emission.’

A war without profit.

A hunt without fun.

When monsters died, at least crystals would drop, but perhaps because they had turned into undead, nothing came out.

‘Let’s finish this quickly.’

Swish! Swish swish!

Hidden weapons emerging in a line from Infinite Space.

It was time for Manceon Hwau.

He imbued over ten thousand hidden weapons with poison gas, aura, and even immortal energy.

Tssssssss! Tsss!

A torrential rain of hidden weapons fell from the sky.

Thud thud thud thud!

Tae-ju slowly walked toward Carmen.

Since Toxic Spirit was performing its role admirably, there was nothing else to do except for the energy consumption.

He just had to watch.

When he manifested killing intent toward a specific target, Toxic Spirit would automatically designate the target.

All he had to do was simply shoot the hidden weapons high into the sky.

Thud thud thud thud!

Thud thud thud thud!

They never missed their mark.

Even when enemies fled, the hidden weapons chased after them on their own.

He could see the dark mage Carmen, whom he had killed once before, up ahead.

Though she was now transformed into an undead and looked terrible.

As Tae-ju walked in that direction, undead monsters desperately blocked his way.

‘Clear the path.’

It wasn’t just Toxic Spirit that Tae-ju had mobilized.

Iron Seonin’s treasure, a hidden weapon possessed by a spirit.

Tsss!

The Divine Spirit Flying Blade flew forth.

Thud thud thud! Thud thud thud thud!

Piercing through the undead blocking the path ahead, piercing again, returning and skewering them once more.

Simultaneously, Manceon Hwau rained from the sky.

Thud thud thud thud thud!

The path was completely cleared.

Her legs trembling as she shook violently.

Carmen was in a state of mental breakdown.

She needed to do something, but her body had frozen stiff.

The feeling of facing an existence of absolute authority that could not be approached, should not be approached.

Was that person a god?

Wasn’t this place, Earth, a dimension devoid of divinity?

Her dark magic was completely bound.

Just from making eye contact.

“You came back to life?”

– You, you…

“Try doing something. Why are you just trembling like a little mouse? Am I that scary?”

– What’s so sc-scary about the likes of you?

“You are scared.”

There was no need to check Pangwan’s ring.

Her actions were proving it.

“I already killed you once, so I do feel a bit sorry about having to kill you again.”

– You, you bastard!

“Farewell. If we can meet again, we’ll meet.”

– Ah, no! Master’s great, great cause is still…

“Wait a moment. I’ll send that master along too.”

Tae-ju placed his hand on Carmen’s head, who couldn’t move like an insect caught in a spider’s web.

– Kyaaaaaaah!

Sizzzzzzle!

Her head melted.

Her upper body crumbled and her lower body too, her entire flesh turned into a handful of poison.

What about the undead demon beast legion?

Throughout the battlefield, hidden weapons were everywhere, and whenever the menacing hidden weapons and black iron ingots flashed, everything disappeared with a whoosh.

It didn’t take very long to clean up.

‘Phew.’

I completely emptied the Toxic Spirit again.

‘Is there one left?’

Riding Manribibeom again to the final destination, Moscow.

He flew quickly.

Whoosh! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom boom!

The explosive sounds grew louder as he got closer.

He had no choice but to stop flying for a moment.

‘Impressive.’

He could see it even from far away.

Moscow transformed into a sea of fire.

And rockets and missiles falling without pause.

Boom boom boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

It seemed Emperor Alex Caesar was determined.

Seeing him concentrate such tremendous firepower.

‘Hmm.’

At this rate, even nuclear bombs might fall.

That was also the reason Emperor Ryu Tae-hyeon of Samhan had stopped him.

What if the European Imperial Forces went crazy and launched nukes while the Imperial Forces and undead were engaged in battle?

He was right.

Also, did only the European government possess nukes?

That bastard Drek Karaks might own them too.

He had already detonated them several times before.

‘If I go inside now and get hit by even one stray missile…’

There’s no need to overdo it.

They’re pounding away tremendously, so a conclusion will come soon.

Let’s just watch the show and eat rice cakes.

Excluding the undead demon beast legion, there would be no one inside Moscow.

Tae-ju landed at a location where he could clearly see the burning Moscow.

He took out a camping chair from Infinite Space, sat down, and chewed on a Seondo.

Boom boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom boom!

The bombardment continued relentlessly.

After dropping a certain amount, combat units led by Awakened Guards would be deployed.

He had done everything he needed to do.

He had completely eliminated the undead demon beasts that the European Imperial Forces had neglected.

Additionally, he had blocked their attempt to invade the Kiev Union and saved the citizens’ lives.

Thus, the Southern Front was resolved.

The remaining battlefield was that ruined Moscow.

‘Is it still far off?’

They were supposedly the European Imperial Forces, pouring out such tremendous firepower, and Europe’s Alex Caesar, said to be as strong as Samhan’s Emperor Ryu Tae-hyeon, had personally joined the battle.

Suddenly!

Ding ding ding.

The delivery signal that knew no time or place.

“It’s here.”

As expected, an enormous amount of Cheon-gye flowers and black iron.

‘There’s no fur.’

Well, it’s fur that grows from Jecheon Daeseong’s body.

Can it just be plucked freely?

The invention of hair growth medicine was urgent.

Actually, it was a matter of time.

Until now, Cheon-gye flowers had only been used for MRC manufacturing.

And only two types at that: Geumjeonghwa and Eumyanghwa.

However, a different type of Cheon-gye flower went into the raid doping potion made this time.

It was a flower called Choryeonghwa.

That flower greatly reduced the side effects of the doping potion.

He planned to proceed with hair growth medicine research centered on Cheon-gye flowers.

After exchanging the items.

The Shared Warehouse’s sparkling time had also increased, so there was plenty of time.

What he would send this time was the second batch of 5,000 Immortal Realm-exclusive smartphones.

Plus an additional data server containing all kinds of materials.

Along with a desktop computer containing smartphone app programming tools that the Demon Valley Immortal had requested.

Kim Dong-hun had worked day and night for this.

So busy that he couldn’t participate in social gatherings.

Of course, he had visited separately to give him Seondo and immortal liquor.

‘By the way, the space has grown tremendously.’

Both Infinite Space and the Shared Warehouse.

‘If it grows just a little more here, even a house could fit.’

For example, a luxury container house with complete facilities like a living room, bedroom, sink, and bathroom inside.

When he returned to Gurye, he’d try to get one and put it in.

It seemed like it would be very useful.

Tae-ju leaned back comfortably in his chair and organized Infinite Space.

He sorted the mixed-up Cheon-gye flowers by type and stacked the black iron neatly so it could be taken out all at once.

In one corner of the space, he could see bundles of golden fur.

Treasures that could summon Jecheon Daeseong’s clones.

There were still many left.

‘I’m bored anyway…’

Carefully taking out just one strand.

Whoosh!

Pop!

A golden monkey appeared.

“Ook?”

It looked at Tae-ju and asked what task he would assign.

“I’m just bored, let’s play together.”

“Kee-kee-kee-kee-keek!”

The clone did a somersault in the air.

Pop, pop pop! Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop!

Monkeys multiplying through division.

Thus, a hundred clones gathered.

Boom boom boom! Boom boom!

Whether the explosive sounds were heard or not, Jecheon Daeseong’s clones began playing and fooling around with each other.

“Hahahaha.”

Tae-ju laughed heartily.

With the clones together, there was no boredom at all.

Bang bang! Bang, bang bang, whooom…

The bombing seemed to be quieting down a little.

* * *

Alex Caesar finally made his decision.

“That’s enough. Cease the bombing.”

Everything had gone very smoothly so far.

They had significantly reduced the number of undead and pressured Drek Karaks, pushing him back into Moscow.

The Awakened special forces and tanks had completed the city siege.

“Now I will settle this.”

“We have been waiting, Your Majesty!”

The two thousand awakened soldiers who would fight alongside him were also fully prepared.

Elite Awakened who were at minimum Superior Expert level, with most being Masters.

All were armed with the finest equipment and weapons.

“Today, we end this war. We will eliminate that wicked necromancer and protect Europe’s peace.”

“It shall be done as you will.”

“I will lead the charge. And not a single person shall die!”

Waaaaaaah!

Cheers erupted.

A battle alongside The Emperor.

A righteous war for Europe’s peace.

The Awakened’s morale pierced the heavens.

Each one raised their swords and weapons high.

Whiiiing, whiiiing, whiiiing, whiiii…

Mana blades shot up like lightsabers.

“Complete annihilation of the undead and necromancer!”

Swoosh!

Alex Caesar and the two thousand Awakened charged toward Moscow at terrifying speed.

Hundreds of filming drones followed behind them.

* * *

Heavenly Realm.

Danggumak was having a conversation while drinking an iced martini at Ju-seon’s Bar.

“I don’t understand what Nogoon’s intention is. Telling me to attend the upper realm representative meeting.”

Ju-seon, who had been shaking a cocktail shaker, chuckled and said.

“That makes sense. There’s nothing to do. Are there any troublemaking immortals? Even the demons are quiet.”

“Even if there’s nothing to do… the laws of the Heavenly Realm are about to collapse.”

“What laws? Now the laws of the Heavenly Realm rest with you, Dok-seon, don’t they? Taesang Nogoon handed them over because he judged it that way.”

But Danggumak disagreed.

Who wouldn’t know Nogoon’s intention?

He had figured it out from the moment he went to buy the beam projector and screen at the shopping mall.

This was surely his intention to indulge in the laziness he couldn’t enjoy before, taking full advantage of this opportunity.

“Anyway, I’m looking forward to it. Go there and flatten Sangje and Dragon King’s noses.”

“Ugh!”

Danggumak frowned and sipped his martini.

Suddenly!

“Dok-seon.”

Demon Valley Immortal, who had been in the Celestial Realm Intranet Main Server Room, came over.

“What is it?”

“I was compiling shopping mall sales figures when I discovered something unusual and came to inform you.”

“Something unusual?”

“A 300,000 coin Swiss Patek wristwatch was sold.”

“Hmm?”

Who would buy something that expensive?

Someone who could afford a Patek would be…

The ones that immediately came to mind were Seo Wang-mo or Yama.

Seo Wang-mo isn’t particularly interested in watches.

“Did Yama buy it?”

“No. Haemak-i purchased it with a lump sum payment.”

“…Haemak Seonnyeo?”

That can’t be!

Haemak, who has no greed, coveting a watch?

“The delivery?”

“Monkey did it.”

Danggumak immediately summoned Jecheon Daeseong.

“You called?”

He seemed to have come down from watching a movie at the theater.

He wore a snapback tilted on his head.

Around his neck was a thick chain-style gold necklace, his wrists were loaded with gold bracelets, and his fingers had gold rings.

He wore a white sleeveless shirt on top, baggy pants that looked like he’d soiled himself, and basketball shoes that came up to his ankles.

An outfit that could easily be called monkey hip-hop.

“Quite the spending flex.”

“…Please think of it as swag.”

“You’ll probably start rapping next.”

“I’m practicing.”

Jecheon Daeseong, rising as the Heavenly Realm’s nouveau riche.

Using his clones, he was handling Seon-gye World management, various labor and errands, food and coffee delivery, and shopping mall deliveries.

“I have something to ask. You delivered a Patek wristwatch, didn’t you? To Haemak-i.”

“Wait a moment…”

Jecheon Daeseong closed his eyes tightly and communed with his clones.

Then.

“The delivery went fine. I even got a signature.”

“Was there anyone else besides Haemak-i?”

“They said Sangje was there.”

“…Sangje?”

Now he seemed to understand how the situation was unfolding.

Ju-seon slammed his hand on the bar table in anger.

“That damn old geezer, does he think Haemak’s coins are his?”

“Instead of giving her gifts, he commits such shameless acts?”

“Let’s storm Jamigung right now.”

“…Let’s first find out what the situation is.”

“What’s there to find out?”

Danggumak first went outside the multiplex.

Looking around here and there,

He spotted Haemak Seonnyeo with a large flower in her hair, hopping toward Seongyeworld.

On Earth, she’d be treated like a crazy person doing that…

Ah! How perfectly it suited Haemak.

“Haemak Seonnyeo, where are you going?”

“Oh! Dok-seon sir! Hello!”

“Haha, I called you because I have something to ask.”

“Ask me anything!”

Danggumak looked intently at Haemak’s bright, sparkling eyes and asked.

“Did you like the watch you bought at the shopping mall?”

“Yes! He was really happy… I mean! I was happy.”

Her expression was slightly strange.

It felt like she was hiding something.

It seemed certain that the watch had gone to Sangje.

Worried about consequences, he must have told Haemak-i to keep quiet.

“Hehe, I never dreamed Sangje would like the watch so much.”

“No! He really loved it… Eh? Oh, no, I, I li-liked it, no I like it!”

“Sigh, Haemak Seonnyeo.”

“…Yes yes?”

“A celestial being shouldn’t act like this. Even if it’s a white lie, deceiving others is still the same, isn’t it?”

“Umm, uh uh uh, li-lie…”

Suddenly tears began welling up in Haemak Seonnyeo’s eyes.

“By, by any chance… am I going to hell?”

“Th-that’s not it.”

“Waaah! I can’t go to hell. Waaah!”

“No, no. D-don’t cry.”

Haemak Seonnyeo crouched down on the floor and wailed loudly.

Then the immortals inside the multiplex were startled and came rushing out.

“What? Which bastard made Haemak Seonnyeo cry?”

“Who is it? Even torture wouldn’t be enough!”

“Let’s catch them and teach them a lesson!”

Then they discovered Danggumak standing helplessly in front of Haemak.

“…Dok-seon?”

“Don’t tell me Dok-seon did this?”

Danggumak stammered out an excuse.

“It’s a misunderstanding, I was just trying to find out why Haemak bought a Patek watch at the shopping mall…”

But before he could even finish speaking.

“A watch? You made Haemak cry over just a watch?”

“Hmm, he didn’t seem like that type. How disappointing.”

“Even buying her a hundred watches wouldn’t be enough!”

“I’ve said it countless times, why else would there be ‘poison’ in his immortal name?”

“Tsk tsk, we should have known from when he partnered with that monkey.”

Chaos erupted.

Criticism and pointing fingers poured down.

“Ever since becoming the Immortal Realm representative, he’s gotten arrogant!”

“How are you going to handle this situation? Take responsibility immediately.”

“He’s completely corrupted by capitalism to the bone.”

“Let’s immediately post this on the Immortal Realm community board for proper education.”

“We’ll show the power of the Net Immortals.”

The immortals took out their smartphones and busily posted messages.

‘Uh…’

Danggumak asked for help from Ju-seon, Gwi-gok, and Jecheon Daeseong, whom he had spoken with earlier.

He asked them to clear up the misunderstanding.

But they subtly averted their eyes and turned away.

‘These traitors!’

Indeed, there wasn’t a single immortal in the world he could trust.
