Chapter 105

 

The black water pooled on the cave floor rippled with Hyeon Rabaek’s fury.

 

“Soya!”

 

Seolyeo blocked his path to protect Soya.

 

“A demon beast…?”

 

Hyeon Rabaek frowned at the sight of the demon beast rushing forward to protect the girl.

 

At the same time, a massive black water stream shot up from the cave floor, pushing Seolyeo to the opposite cave wall and binding her there.

 

Crash!

 

“Seolyeo!”

 

Soya cried out loudly, startled by the sight of Seolyeo struggling while hanging on the wall.

 

Meanwhile, the black water pooled on the floor began to gather into crescent moon-shaped rings, writhing and coiling.

 

The black rings flew toward Soya from all directions.

 

Swoosh—!

 

Swish! Swish! Swoosh—!

 

Soya quickly raised the White Tiger Sword to block them.

 

The black rings that bounced off the White Tiger Sword hit the cave walls and turned back into black water, flowing down to the floor.

 

Hyeon Rabaek’s eyes hardened as he hadn’t expected her to be able to block his power at all.

 

“That’s… the White Tiger Divine Sword…?”

 

Hyeon Rabaek’s expression twisted strangely as he recognized the pure white White Tiger Sword in Soya’s hand.

 

“Why does she have that… Could it be, the Imperial Dragon’s… bride? But that can’t be. How.”

 

He muttered to himself in a confused voice, then suddenly hesitated and tilted his head while covering his right eye with one hand.

 

“Ugh, urgh…”

 

Hyeon Rabaek suddenly let out a pained groan and staggered, then slowly raised his head toward Soya.

 

He carefully moved away the hand that had been covering his right eye.

 

Then a black pupil, elongated vertically like that of a reptile, was revealed.

 

A sharp gaze instantly fixed on Soya.

 

“Ugh…”

 

It was when Soya unconsciously hesitated at the cold and chilling sensation penetrating her entire body.

 

“You…!”

 

Hyeon Rabaek suddenly rushed at Soya.

 

When Soya raised the White Tiger Sword to block him, he grabbed the blade with his bare hands.

 

Hyeon Rabaek glared at Soya with both eyes, not caring that his palm was being cut.

 

“How do you have the Imperial Dragon’s Dragon Orb?”

 

“Ugh, urgh…”

 

Soya tried to push him away with all her strength, but his grip on the blade was too strong.

 

“This is impossible. This can’t happen. But. But…”

 

Hyeon Rabaek rolled his strangely swollen right eyeball around as he examined Soya’s body.

 

“Right. It’s not completely impossible. There is a way. But did the Imperial Dragon commit such madness? Why on earth. For what purpose…”

 

While the standoff continued between Soya trying to push her opponent away with all her might and Hyeon Rabaek muttering to himself like a madman.

 

Soya’s White Tiger Sword suddenly flashed and succeeded in pushing him away.

 

Thud—!

 

Hyeon Rabaek’s body flew into the opposite wall and slumped down.

 

Soya kept her guard up and pointed her sword tip at him.

 

“…In any case, what’s important is.”

 

Hyeon Rabaek slowly got up and faced Soya.

 

“The young guest who invaded the Underworld Palace is certainly not someone to be taken lightly.”

 

Soon he smirked and his gray eyes flashed.

 

“Since the Imperial Dragon’s Bride has personally graced the Underworld Palace with her presence, I too must welcome her appropriately.”

 

Not knowing what he was trying to do, Soya tightened her grip on the sword hilt and glared at him.

 

The chilling sensation she had felt earlier spread through the air…

 

Startled.

 

Soya was so surprised for a moment that she almost dropped her sword.

 

His skin began to be covered with black scales, starting from his chest.

 

—Ancient evil…

 

White Tiger Mountain Lord made a sound filled with lament.

 

—That crazy human gave his body to evil…

 

—Baby Bird!

 

At Vermillion Bird Heavenly Lady’s sharp cry, Soya instinctively dodged.

 

Crash—!

 

An attack that came in the blink of an eye grazed past Soya.

 

A huge pit formed in the cave floor where Soya had been standing just moments before, and black water flowed into it.

 

“Tsk.”

 

Hyeon Rabaek, whose face was now covered with black scales, clicked his tongue as if disappointed while looking at it.

 

The black water that swirled into the pit shot up into the air, becoming a giant serpent that opened its mouth wide toward Soya.

 

Roar—!

 

The stone pillars in the cave instantly lost their form and were swallowed into the serpent’s mouth.

 

Soya, who barely managed to dodge, pressed against the cave wall and panted.

 

However, the serpent gave her no moment’s respite and charged at Soya again.

 

But this time too, Soya was slightly faster.

 

Crash—!

 

The serpent’s body hit the wall where Soya had been standing and became hundreds of small snakes.

 

Hiss. Hissss—.

 

Hundreds of small snakes rushed toward Soya all at once.

 

Soya swung the White Tiger Sword to block the attacks of snakes pouring from all directions, but there were too many of them.

 

‘This won’t work. I need to dodge…’

 

Then suddenly, a black shield caught Soya’s eye.

 

Soya, who had been slowly backing away while looking for an opportunity, quickly threw herself behind the black shield.

 

The snakes that had been rushing at Soya hit the shield and fell down with thuds.

 

Whether because there were so many of them, or because ancient evil was imbued in them.

 

Crack-like fissures appeared in Hyeonmu’s spirit body, which could never be broken by human strength.

 

It wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer like this.

 

The snakes that hit the shield and fell down turned back into black water and pooled on the floor.

 

—You must awaken the King of Destruction, Baby Bird!

 

Soya took a deep breath and placed her hand on the black shield said to be made from Hyeonmu’s turtle shell.

 

Then she slowly tried to recall Hyeonmu’s heart.

 

A heart that only devours living things.

 

The heart of destruction.

 

Soya couldn’t clearly understand what kind of heart that was.

 

But just like she had done before, she tried to awaken the divine beast somehow this time too.

 

With the heart that wanted to stop that man before her eyes.

 

With the heart to destroy that man and protect the world.

 

‘Hyeonmu, please… help me stop that man!’

 

However, Hyeonmu’s divine artifact did not respond.

 

‘Why?’

 

Soya’s eyes shook violently.

 

‘I want to stop that man. Is this not enough?’

 

Meanwhile, Hyeon Rabaek’s black water shot up like a huge wave, creating splashes.

 

Just as the black wave was about to engulf Soya.

 

“Soya! It’s dangerous!”

 

Just then, Seolyeo, who had broken free from the black water restraints binding her, blocked Soya’s path.

 

Black waves crashed over Seolyeo and came pouring down.

 

“Seolyeo!”

 

Seolyeo, whose transformation had been undone and who had become a human boy, rolled on the ground.

 

At the same time Soya called out to Seolyeo and approached him, the attacks that had been pouring down suddenly stopped.

 

It was a very brief moment.

 

Hyeon Rabaek’s body, covered in evil, flinched and the attacks ceased.

 

However, Soya didn’t miss that brief opening and launched a counterattack.

 

“Dragon God!”

 

At Soya’s cry, Cheonryong’s seeds fell plop, plop, plop onto the cave floor.

 

‘I have to stop him somehow. If Hyeonmu won’t respond, then I’ll find another way.’

 

Cheonryong’s seeds absorbed the black water pooled on the floor and grew rapidly.

 

“Vines…?”

 

While Hyeon Rabaek quickly regained his senses and looked around, green vine stems rushed toward him.

 

Hyeon Rabaek gathered black water to avoid them and unleashed attacks, but the vine stems sprouted from Cheonryong’s seeds grew longer and thicker the more they were hit by water, wrapping tightly around his body.

 

“Ugh, urk… What are you… trying to do…”

 

However, Soya didn’t wait for him to understand the situation.

 

“Mountain Lord!”

 

When Soya called, the White Tiger Sword responded by emitting pure white light.

 

―I’ll tell you in advance, Baby Bird. It’s impossible to eliminate evil with my power alone.

 

The essence of White Tiger’s power lay not in annihilating enemies, but in protecting what was precious.

 

So that power alone couldn’t eliminate evil.

 

However…

 

“Yes, that’s why I’m asking for your help.”

 

Swoosh―!

 

Soya rushed straight at Hyeon Rabaek and plunged the White Tiger Sword into his chest where evil energy was gushing out.

 

Precisely into his Spirit Core that was seething with pitch-black evil.

 

“Heavenly Lady! Now’s the time!”

 

At this, Suzaku’s flames began spreading along the White Tiger Sword as if they had been waiting.

 

Whoosh―

 

Brilliantly shining red flames engulfed the evil.

 

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiik―!

 

The evil wrapped in purification flames let out bone-chilling screams.

 

A struggle of power continued between the flames trying to purify the evil and the evil trying to devour the flames, until finally the evil that couldn’t withstand the flames burst out from Hyeon Rabaek’s Spirit Core.

 

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud…!

 

The evil in the form of a black sphere bounced in all directions, crashing against the cave walls.

 

Then soon…

 

Whoosh―

 

It disappeared without a trace.

 

The evil had fled.

 

And in the place where the evil had fled.

 

“Urgh…”

 

Hyeon Rabaek’s body, which had barely been standing, collapsed to the floor.

 

“Cough…”

 

His Spirit Core, having lost the evil, began to crumble and his body started to decay.
