Chapter 196: Kill Those Who Must Be Killed (2)
The Gurye Happy Village terrorist incident was concluded.
Tae-ju called Moon Gyeong-sik directly.
Everything was resolved, so they could wrap it up.
Moon Gyeong-sik didn’t ask for detailed information either.
If he said it was done, then it was done.
Time passed quickly.
Every day, Tae-ju stayed by Baek Hong-pyo’s side at Gurye General Hospital.
While waiting for the Immortal Realm delivery signal.
He planned to ask Dok-seon for the Revival Flower that could bring back souls that had already departed after explaining the situation.
It was shameless, but there was no choice.
Dok-seon would understand.
He knew the relationship between him and Baek Hong-pyo well.
But could he really secure it?
It was an ancient treasure that only grew in the Inner Courtyard of the Heavenly Jami Palace.
Of course, he had no intention of just asking for it.
He would have to pay a proper price.
The problem was whether a treasure of equivalent value existed on Earth.
‘Sigh, even if I handed over all of Samhan’s department stores, it wouldn’t be enough.’
Tae-ju wasn’t alone in the hospital room.
Swordsman, Jecheon Daeseong, and Gwi-gok were also there.
“Gwi-gok, don’t you have any methods either?”
“If even a soul fragment remained, perhaps, but in this state…”
“Monkey, what about you?”
“What brilliant solution could I possibly have?”
“Isn’t there something like an underworld on Earth? If there was, we could just storm in and tear up the death registry.”
“Exactly. I know well since I’ve done it before.”
“Tsk tsk, bragging about causing chaos, really bragging.”
Tae-ju felt sorry for the Immortals who had come all the way to Earth and were guarding the hospital room, unable to even enjoy themselves.
“Don’t worry. I have a method I can try.”
“…Are you perhaps thinking of asking for the Revival Flower?”
As expected of Gwi-gok.
He was quick to catch on.
“That’s right. Currently, there’s no other method besides that.”
Swordsman and Jecheon Daeseong agreed as well.
“Oh! That’s right. There was the Revival Flower.”
“Hehehe, I had forgotten about that. Don’t worry, Hero Tae-ju. If Sangje won’t give it, I’ll steal it and present it to you.”
“Haah, always with the thievery. Heavenly Peaches, wish-fulfilling orbs, Revival Flowers…”
“Monkey, you don’t seem to be one to talk.”
“…Well, I’ll admit that.”
Swordsman and Jecheon Daeseong were practically best friends.
They bickered constantly but were perfectly in sync.
It seemed they had properly enjoyed themselves this time too.
They were decked out in luxury goods from head to toe.
Top-quality suits, shoes, sunglasses, clutch bags…
They claimed to have earned it through work, but it was far more than a few coins could cover.
“Where did you earn the money?”
“…Ahem, we worked very hard.”
“How?”
“Well, we briefly provided advice in our area of expertise…”
They seemed to avoid detailed explanations.
‘Should I not have asked?’
Suddenly the hospital room atmosphere became awkward.
‘Let me turn on the TV.’
Click!
He pressed the remote.
A movie happened to be playing.
An old classic film.
It was about people with supernatural powers.
Similar to today’s Awakened.
When they made that movie back then, who could have known Earth would change like this?
Everyone focused on the movie.
One episode ended, and the commercial break began.
But then?
“Huh?”
It was an ordinary home appliance commercial.
But the person appearing in it was.
“Swordsman?”
“…”
It was definitely him.
Swordsman.
And even.
“Jecheon Daeseong too?”
“…”
Gwi-gok also seemed unaware as he stared blankly at the TV.
“Why are you guys on there?”
The commercial content was like this.
Swordsman turning around with a determined expression.
And Jecheon Daeseong desperately crying out toward his back.
– Swordsman! Must you really go?
– To purify the world, there’s no choice. It’s my destiny.
– Hehehe, I can no longer stop you.
Jecheon Daeseong handed the long object in his hand to Swordsman as he spoke.
– Then at least take this with you.
Swordsman received the object with a satisfied expression.
– Good. I’ll be able to suck everything up cleanly.
– I’ll be watching.
– Don’t worry. With this treasure in my hands, how could I fail?
– I wish you good fortune in battle.
Jecheon Daeseong made eye contact with Swordsman.
Swordsman nodded as well.
Then he aimed the stick toward the CG-processed monsters.
Whoooooooooosh!
Countless numbers of monsters were all sucked into the stick.
Simultaneously, subtitles appeared at the bottom.
Jecheon Daeseong did a somersault and began a powerful narration.
【A man’s vacuum cleaner! Quaison Air Machine! It even sucks up Beyonders!】
【Not leaving a single speck of dust! Strong! Long-lasting! Convenient because it’s wireless!】
【Baekdu Electronics’ painstakingly released Quaison Air Machine wireless vacuum cleaner.】
【The new product acknowledged by Swordsman and Jecheon Daeseong.】
【Visit your nearest Baekdu Electronics store or discount mart.】
As the advertisement was ending.
– We inform you that the Swordsman and Jecheon Daeseong appearing in this advertisement are the actual persons.
– Directly guaranteed by the Imperial Palace Secretariat and Baekdu Group.
A wireless vacuum cleaner advertisement from Baekdu Electronics.
It made sense.
Chairman Jeong Uk-cheol and the Swordsman knew each other.
‘…So that’s how they made money.’
It would have been a very good opportunity for Jeong Uk-cheol as well.
He had gotten the Swordsman and Jecheon Daeseong to appear in an advertisement.
He must have offered a huge sum of money.
“Ahem.”
“Why does that have to come on now?”
“How embarrassing.”
The faces of the Swordsman and Jecheon Daeseong turned bright red.
Gwi-gok burst out shouting at the top of his lungs.
“Good grief, you fools! Are you in your right minds? Hero Tae-ju’s sworn brother’s soul has departed, and you think appearing in advertisements makes sense?”
“…Ah, it’s not like it’s forbidden. We didn’t know this situation would happen.”
“We earned money through a legitimate contract.”
“I forcibly stopped the monkey from suggesting we rob a bank and turned it into an advertisement instead.”
“The bank was the Swordsman’s idea first…”
“Shh!”
Ahhh.
So there was a plan to rob a bank too.
Thank goodness.
Appearing in a CF was much better.
“Tsk tsk, they say the Swordsman and monkey are bringing shame to the Immortal Realm.”
The Swordsman and Jecheon Daeseong glanced at Tae-ju and shrank back.
“You did well.”
“…Huh?”
“The vacuum cleaners will sell like crazy. I should buy a few myself.”
“R-right?”
The Swordsman felt relieved.
Either way, Earth was Tae-ju’s domain.
If he said it was fine, then Gwi-gok’s nagging didn’t matter.
But right at that moment!
“Oh!”
Gwi-gok exclaimed as if sensing something.
“Got one.”
“What?”
“A signal came from Wuhan. The teleportation formation activated.”
“Huh? That means…”
“The trap has been triggered.”
The one controlling the Beyonders.
That bastard came to Wuhan.
“Can we catch it if we go now?”
“If we hurry…”
“Let’s go immediately.”
The Swordsman jumped up from his seat.
“Monkey, summon Geunduun and come with Gwi-gok.”
“Understood.”
Tae-ju also stood up.
“I’ll go too.”
“You guard the sickroom. There needs to be a guardian here.”
“Ah…”
“We’ll be back soon. With that bastard’s head.”
Spot!
The Immortals and Jecheon Daeseong disappeared.
Tae-ju was left alone in the sickroom.
“I could catch it myself though…”
Anyway, the Swordsman, Gwi-gok, and Jecheon Daeseong had deployed.
He didn’t know what kind of bastard it was, but he felt a little sorry for it.
‘Well, no need to know who it is.’
It was a dead man walking anyway.
That aside, when would the delivery arrive?
That’s when it happened.
Bzzzzt.
A signal ringing in his head.
“It’s here!”
He’d been waiting.
“Hmm?”
The items Dok-seon sent.
One smartphone and one baseball-sized orb emitting brilliant seven-colored light.
‘…What is this? It looks like some kind of crystal.’
Just looking at it gave off an auspicious aura.
It wouldn’t be an ordinary item.
But there was something more important.
Tae-ju took the items from the Shared Warehouse and neatly stacked the Beyond crystals.
Along with Baek Hong-pyo’s handwritten letter containing his story.
Then he checked the smartphone.
It contained one video.
He tapped to play it.
“…Huh.”
A completely unexpected person appeared in the video.
“Wh-what?”
Even after rubbing his eyes and looking again.
“Why is hyung there?”
Baek Hong-pyo was hanging out with Immortals, having a drinking party.
“Am I dreaming right now?”
No way!
It must be someone who just looked similar.
He could see him right now.
Baek Hong-pyo lying on the hospital bed with life support equipment.
He was right next to him.
It couldn’t be twins either.
The person in the video looked very happy.
Soon Danggumak appeared on screen explaining the whole situation.
Tae-ju froze.
“…What?”
It really was Baek Hong-pyo.
“Oh my!”
The explanation continued at length.
And he realized.
‘Hyung-nim’s soul crossed over to another world’s Hwangcheon-gye?’
The cause of this.
It was because of Yama.
Tae-ju had also witnessed with his own eyes when Yama crossed over to Earth.
The twist of fate that occurred because of that.
At that time, Baek Hong-pyo had passed away due to the terrorist incident.
His soul, who was very close to him, ended up ascending to Hwangcheon-gye.
“Wow!”
He never could have imagined it.
No, could he have dared to imagine such a thing?
There was also a greeting from Baek Hong-pyo.
That voice was exactly the same.
– Tae-ju, I’m doing well. I thought I was dead, but I ended up enjoying a vacation for once.
Good grief.
He was absolutely delighted, having a grand time.
– According to the Immortals, I can go to Earth through the dimensional gate. I don’t plan to go right away, I’ll rest well and then go, so don’t worry.
‘…’
He was so dumbfounded he couldn’t speak.
Tae-ju took out the letter requesting the revival flower that he was going to send to Danggumak from the Shared Warehouse.
Anyway, now he could put his mind at ease.
But there was still a slight problem remaining.
Earth, Gurye General Hospital.
Another Baek Hong-pyo lying on the bed.
He received a new body in Hwangcheon as a Cheonin, but… then what about the body left on Earth?
‘Should I cremate it?’
And one more thing.
He also learned the identity of the brilliant seven-colored orb.
‘A wish-fulfilling jewel…’
What am I supposed to do with this?
* * *
Ruined city Wuhan.
Patagellaon was flustered.
The Wuhan Indoor Soccer Dome Stadium that had been his nest.
He couldn’t move at all inside it.
It was as if he was caught in a trap.
“Wh, what?”
Originally, he hadn’t planned to come.
He had watched the entire situation in Wuhan through the YouTube broadcast.
But he was curious about the situation after the broadcast.
Did they really kill them all?
Even the Beyond that had potential to evolve into an adult dragon?
Just how powerful were they?
He couldn’t contain his curiosity.
He had to check it out himself.
They would be gone now, but if he investigated the remaining traces of battle, he could roughly infer the power of the Immortals and Jecheon Daeseong.
So he came to Wuhan through a teleport magic circle.
As a result, he ended up unable to move.
‘How did they discover my hideout?’
Moreover, this unknown energy.
It was tightly binding his body.
He tried to break free, but couldn’t even stir his heart’s mana.
‘…Anti-magic field?’
Or something similar to it.
If it was certain that an Immortal had set this up?
This was no joke.
‘I need to hurry.’
They might come here.
Patagellaon moved with all his might.
Crack!
Rumble!
A pattern formation was revealed on the floor.
It was cleverly overlapped with the teleport magic circle.
‘So this was it.’
He had been careless.
But at least he knew the cause.
Crack, crackle!
He continued to move.
Little by little, very slowly moving mana.
It took a long time, but cracks began to appear bit by bit in the unidentified pattern.
Snap, snap snap!
It felt like something was breaking.
‘Got it.’
Finally, he could move his magic power.
Then?
‘Release.’
Patagellaon undid his human transformation.
Whoooosh!
The strongest life form on Earth.
The massive dragon’s true form, which had overcome its limits and was developing the aspects of a dragon god, burst through the dome of Wuhan’s soccer stadium and soared up.
“Kuooooooo!”
Glossy black scales, a body twice as large as ordinary dragons, four large and beautiful wings, a mighty tail that could topple high-rise buildings with a single swing.
This was Patagellaon’s true appearance.
Thud!
He took one step forward.
Thud!
Another step.
Thud thud thud thud!
Continuing on…
But then?
Halt!
“Huh!”
He couldn’t move again.
“Such, such cunning!”
There wasn’t just one trap.
They were installed everywhere.
“How dare they!”
This trap made his legs barely movable, as if he had fallen into a swamp.
Even moving a single step took an eternity.
How could this massive body be restricted by physical force?
Soon Patagellaon realized.
‘It’s not physical force.’
Time.
A technique that controls the flow of time.
‘Good heavens.’
Magic that interferes with time.
Isn’t this the realm of gods?
Only the time around Patagellaon flowed extremely slowly.
Everything felt frozen.
It couldn’t be broken with force.
Time magic was impossible even for him.
Unless one was a god.
That’s when it happened.
Swoooosh!
“Oh!”
Suddenly his body became free.
It meant time was flowing normally.
But then.
“Huh?”
The sky suddenly darkened.
Something had covered the sun.
Patagellaon raised his head.
“Wh-what’s that?”
Thud thud thud thud thud…
A downpour began.
But it wasn’t rain made of liquid.
Monkeys were falling from the sky like rain.
“Ooook!”
“Ooki-gi-gi-gik!”
“Ki-gi-gi-gik.”
“Ki-gik? Ki-gi-gi…”
.
.
.
Thud, thud-thud, thud-thud, thud-thud-thud-thud-thud.
The fallen monkeys clung to Patagellaon’s main body.
“Th-this!”
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!
They were like a swarm of bees.
Once attached, they absolutely wouldn’t fall off.
They didn’t give him any chance to cast magic.
And.
Far away in that sky.
An Immortal standing on a sword and a Monkey riding clouds.
It was them.
He should never have met them, but one painful mistake led to this inevitable encounter.
“Damn it!”
Patagellaon drew breath deep into his lungs.
Then breathed fire toward the sky.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The dragon god’s breath that could destroy a small nation.
Even a god would melt before it.
‘Did I get them?’
However.
“You’re stronger than I thought, but what good is it if you can’t hit your target?”
A voice heard from behind.
“Ugh, bad breath.”
“Turns out it was a chemical attack.”
“Should have worn a mask.”
Patagellaon’s body trembled involuntarily.
The terrible killing intent of a demon that made even the dragon god’s skin tingle. And the divine aura that made one naturally submit as if facing a god.
The former was Jecheon Daeseong, the latter was the Immortal.
“Let’s finish this. Time is precious.”
“…I’d like to take him to fight that Dragon King fellow.”
“It would be a fight. The Dragon King would win anyway though.”
Right then.
Patagellaon turned his head back like lightning.
His mouth opened.
But it was useless.
As a massive metal rod fell on his crown.
Whooosh! Thwack!
“Kek!”
Thousands of invisible swords floating in the air split the dragon god’s scales.
Slash-slash-slash-slash-slash!
“Kraaaaaaak!”
And the time-controlling technique activated again.
Thwack! Slash! Thwack! Slash! Thwack! Slash…
Patagellaon could only watch with his eyes open as his main body was dismantled.
Without even being able to resist.
Wobble.
That massive body slowly collapsed to the ground.
Thud!
“Eh? Is he already dead?”
“I was just starting to get a feel for it.”
“Cut open his belly. Take out the inner core if there is one.”
“Oh! Inner core! That’s a precious energy source.”
The excited Swordsman cut open the fallen Patagellaon’s belly.
Instantly!
“Oh no!”
The Swordsman shouted with a completely distorted face.
Gwi-gok asked with an anxious expression.
“…Why, why are you like that?”
“Hah!”
After sighing so deeply the ground might cave in.
“We didn’t do the live broadcast.”
Jecheon Daeseong too.
“Tsk tsk, a fatal mistake.”
Gwi-gok shook his head back and forth.
He was simply afraid that traveling with these two would make him go crazy as well.
