Legend of the Evil Martial God

 

Chapter 125

 

While I could handle it in one strike, the problem was that Ye Yahyeon had struggled against it.

 

That meant if such creatures poured into the Central Plains, it would become a real headache.

 

I couldn’t protect the entire Central Plains by myself.

 

In that case, I needed to find a way to prepare for when such opponents appeared.

 

Of course, if I asked Ye Yahyeon, I could get some information.

 

But hearing about it and experiencing it firsthand were worlds apart.

 

First, its strength was definitely different from humans.

 

The flow of energy seemed to be a method of absorbing energy through its scales and using that to attack.

 

Despite its massive build, it was very fast and used martial arts like a martial artist.

 

What about its durability?

 

I lightly dodged Taegam’s attack and struck his abdomen lightly with my fist.

 

Thud-!

 

“Kugh!”

 

His body shuddered and he immediately showed signs of distress.

 

Still, seeing him endure and remain standing showed his durability was also strong.

 

If it had been Ye Yahyeon, he would have been rolling around on the ground in agony.

 

“Kugh! You bastard… Is this also magic arts?”

 

“No. I just hit you with my fist?”

 

“Im, impossible. There’s no way I’d feel this kind of pain from just being hit with a fist! Are you lying about not using magic arts!”

 

“Why would I lie to you?”

 

Taegam’s face contorted with rage as he spoke while enduring the pain.

 

“Because of that one move just now, I won’t let my guard down against you anymore.”

 

He sure talked a lot.

 

Still, perhaps his pride was wounded, as he charged at me with even stronger momentum than before.

 

“Blood Dragon…”

 

Just as he was gathering tremendous energy to attack.

 

Thwack-.

 

Part of Taegam’s right side was blown away by Jeok Wigang’s fist attack.

 

Jeok Wigang muttered with an expression of regret.

 

“Ah, I used too much strength without realizing it.”

 

Cough-.

 

Red blood spurted from Taegam’s mouth.

 

“How, how could you have… such strong power…”

 

Thud-.

 

He collapsed to the ground, writhed for a moment, then his movements stopped.

 

Ye Yahyeon watched with an expression that said he expected this.

 

‘What? He was just toying with him. What a scary guy.’

 

Jeok Wigang muttered with a disappointed expression.

 

“I had so many things to ask… Should I try healing him?”

 

Ye Yahyeon spoke to the contemplating Jeok Wigang.

 

“I saw earlier that his severed arm regenerated and all. Won’t this do the same?”

 

“It regenerates?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“He seems unconscious though? Won’t he die if we leave him like this?”

 

“Aren’t you curious? Whether that can regenerate too?”

 

“Hmm…”

 

“We can watch and if it really seems like he’s about to die, it won’t be too late to heal him then.”

 

“Good. Let’s wait and see.”

 

The two watched the unconscious Taegam with sparkling eyes before leaving the area.

 

***

 

This place where silence reigned on all sides.

 

Only the corpse of Taegam, who had been of the Dragon Scale tribe, remained alone.

 

Just as a crow flew over to tear at the flesh.

 

Crack-.

 

Caw-!

 

Crunch-.

 

The crow caught in Taegam’s left hand that suddenly moved became a handful of blood.

 

“Kugh!”

 

Taegam slowly stood up in pain.

 

“Did I faint?”

 

After being dazed for a moment, as if something came to mind, he quickly looked around.

 

“He’s gone. Phew. Damn it. I really almost died.”

 

Muttering, he examined his wounds.

 

“The wounds are worse than I thought. It’ll take quite some time to fully recover.”

 

After muttering, he closed his eyes and concentrated.

 

Then the blown-away area began to writhe, and something red bubbled up like foam.

 

The foam soon hardened and turned into muscle, and in an instant the blown-away body was restored.

 

As the muscle regenerated, skin regenerated over it, and soon even scales grew back.

 

Whether it wasn’t perfectly restored, a boundary was drawn between the intact area and the blown-away area.

 

“Phew.”

 

Taegam sighed and stood up from his spot.

 

He shuddered.

 

“What a terrifying guy. I need to revise the intelligence. That there’s an incredible human in the Central Plains. Why hasn’t this information come up until now?”

 

He almost caused major disruption to the grand plan.

 

Hadn’t they come to the Central Plains to eliminate factors that could disrupt the grand plan?

 

The reason he pretended to be dead was because of that eerie energy that blew away his body at the end.

 

It was like, how should he put it?

 

The feeling of fighting the Heavenly Lord?

 

He instinctively realized.

 

That this was not his opponent.

 

That’s why he pretended to be dead.

 

If he wasn’t a match anyway, why would he fight while taking risks?

 

Only humans do such foolish things.

 

Taegam looked toward the Imperial Palace.

 

There was no going back now.

 

As long as Jeok Wigang was by the Emperor’s side, he could never return.

 

The plan to incite a fight between the Imperial Palace and the Martial World would probably need to be revised.

 

‘It would be faster to go to the Martial World and attack the government directly.’

 

First, let’s get out of this cursed place.

 

Just as he was thinking that and about to turn away.

 

“Wow. Is it really true?”

 

Shiver-.

 

A voice he never wanted to hear again came from behind.

 

Was he hearing hallucinations after coming back from the dead?

 

When he slowly turned his head, there was a face he never wanted to see again.

 

“Amazing. How exactly did you regenerate?”

 

The Dragon Scale clan member unconsciously stepped backward at the sight of Jeok Wigang slowly approaching.

 

“H-how?”

 

“That’s what I want to ask. How exactly can you regenerate your body like that?”

 

“Do you think I’d tell you that?”

 

“Do other body parts regenerate too?”

 

The Dragon Scale clan member backed away further as Jeok Wigang approached.

 

To think he had been watching.

 

If he had known, he would have run away with all his might the moment he woke up.

 

“If your legs are cut off, do they regenerate too? I’m curious.”

 

The Dragon Scale clan member got goosebumps seeing Jeok Wigang’s eyes.

 

He felt like if he didn’t answer here, Jeok Wigang would really cut off his legs to see.

 

“They, they regenerate.”

 

“Really? Show me.”

 

“What?”

 

This crazy bastard.

 

“Don’t want to? Let’s try it.”

 

“Ah, no! Get away!”

 

“You said it regenerates. Come here.”

 

The sight of Jeok Wigang running toward him with a smile was terror itself.

 

No, he was a demon.

 

Why was a being more suited for Hundred Demon Heaven wearing the mask of a human?

 

“N-not right now. Regeneration doesn’t work indefinitely… It only works when I have energy.”

 

“I’ll fill up that energy for you. Let’s try it.”

 

He wasn’t listening to reason.

 

How was he going to fill up his energy?

 

Then Jeok Wigang held something out.

 

“Eat this. It’s called the Paung Pill and it’ll completely restore your depleted energy.”

 

Was he serious?

 

Was he seriously going to cut off his leg?

 

He had picked the wrong person to mess with.

 

“You won’t eat it? I told you to try it.”

 

Swoosh-.

 

“Huk!”

 

Before he knew it, Jeok Wigang had approached right in front of him, forcibly opened his mouth, and shoved the elixir in.

 

He tried to resist, but his strength was so overwhelming that resistance was impossible.

 

The elixir that entered his mouth instantly dissolved and went down his throat, and soon he felt hot energy throughout his body as his depleted energy was rapidly restored.

 

This quickly?

 

It was an incredible spirit pill.

 

He was using something like this just to see his severed leg?

 

This human wasn’t in his right mind.

 

Power overflowed throughout his body.

 

The Dragon Scale tribe member watched Jeok Wigang carefully.

 

Looking for a chance to escape.

 

He just needed a brief opening.

 

That moment.

 

The moment Jeok Wigang turned his back to call Ye Yahyeon.

 

He mobilized every bit of energy he could use and launched his body into the air.

 

Swoosh-!

 

Something unfolded from the back of the Dragon Scale Tribe member who had risen high into the void.

 

They were wings.

 

Whoosh- Whoosh-.

 

He flapped his wings powerfully and laughed loudly.

 

“Kahahaha! You fool! Thank you! Thanks to the elixir you gave me, I’ve recovered my strength.”

 

Now it was done.

 

He just needed to escape from here.

 

The moment he thought that.

 

He felt some enormous pressure from behind.

 

The moment he turned his head toward it.

 

Kuaaaa-.

 

He felt tremendous energy rapidly approaching him.

 

“Hiik!”

 

He was startled and hastily twisted his body to dodge, but.

 

Psssh-.

 

“Kheuk!”

 

Part of his wing was obliterated by the tremendous energy, and as his balance collapsed from this, he rapidly plummeted toward the ground.

 

Thud-.

 

The Dragon Scale Tribe member who had fallen to the ground let out a pained groan and slowly stood up.

 

Then he looked toward Jeok Wigang’s direction with trembling pupils.

 

Monster.

 

If that energy from just now had hit him directly?

 

He would have disappeared just like his obliterated wing.

 

Tremble tremble tremble-.

 

His body began to shake.

 

He could see Jeok Wigang slowly approaching.

 

Should he try to run away again?

 

His feet wouldn’t move.

 

What if that attack came again while he was running away?

 

Could he dodge it?

 

While thinking all sorts of thoughts, Jeok Wigang had already arrived in front of him.

 

He quickly increased the distance and gathered all the energy he had.

 

Rumble rumble rumble-.

 

The earth shook and the air trembled.

 

He clasped both hands together to form the shape of a dragon’s face, then aimed at Jeok Wigang.

 

Whirrr-.

 

Tremendous energy began to compress and form in front of the dragon’s face shape.

 

“Flame Yang Roaring Cannon!”

 

Whoooosh-!

 

Crash crash crash-.

 

The surrounding terrain was overturned as the final strike shot fiercely toward Jeok Wigang.

 

Crash crash crash boom-.

 

The Dragon Scale Clan member saw it.

 

The Monster taking the Flame Yang Roaring Cannon head-on and walking slowly forward as if nothing happened.

 

“Th, this is impossible…”

 

Crash crash crash crash boom-.

 

The Flame Yang Roaring Cannon split into two branches, turning the surroundings into scorched earth and changing the terrain itself.

 

But there was one person who remained unchanged.

 

Jeok Wigang stood there.

 

Gulp-.

 

Dry saliva was swallowed involuntarily.

 

Even though this was a being who could kill him anytime if he wanted to, he wasn’t using much effort.

 

“Was that attack just now the maximum attack you can perform?”

 

The Dragon Scale Clan member found himself nodding without realizing it.

 

“You didn’t exhaust all your energy using that, did you?”

 

Seeing the silent Dragon Scale Tribe member, Jeok Wigang shook his head.

 

“Looks like you’re completely drained.”

 

Then he took out another elixir from his chest.

 

Don’t tell me, again?

 

“Eat it.”

 

“I’d, I’d rather you kill me.”

 

“Why would I kill you when I’m not going to kill you. Such an interesting life form like you.”

 

That look in his eyes.

 

“I absolutely won’t kill you. No, I can’t kill you.”

 

There’s only one way to escape from that demon.

 

‘Damn it… I wanted to see my hometown before dying…’

 

The Dragon Scale Tribe member closed his eyes, giving up on everything.

 

Drip-.

 

At the same time, dark red blood flowed from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground.

 

“Suicide. That won’t do.”

 

Jeok Wigang immediately began reciting the revival incantation.

 

“Heaven and Earth Recovery, Soul and Flesh Restoration, Energy Meridian Correction, All Wounds Recovery.”

 

Silver radiance enveloped the Dragon Scale Tribe member’s body, and after a moment.

 

The Dragon Scale Tribe member opened his eyes.

 

“Huh?”

 

I definitely committed suicide, didn’t I?

 

Why am I alive?

 

“Who gave you permission to commit suicide? You startled me.”

 

Could it be?

 

“Go ahead and try dying a hundred times. I won’t let you die.”

 

That monster-like bastard….

 

Checking his physical condition, his energy had also returned to normal.

 

“First, try regenerating your wings.”

 

That monster’s attention was entirely focused on his regenerative ability.

 

“If I show you… will you kill me?”

 

“No. I told you I won’t kill you.”

 

“Then… will you let me go?”

 

“No, if I let you go, who knows what you’ll do again.”

 

“Then what do you plan to do with me?”

 

“I’ll have to take you with me. For life.”

 

He wanted to cry.

 

To think he had to spend his entire life with that crazy monster.

 

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have regenerated.

 

Why did I step forward saying I would kill the Commander?

 

I should have just sent my subordinates.

 

All kinds of regrets came flooding in like a tide.

 

“What are you doing? I told you to regenerate your wings.”
