Descent of the Demon God-Chapter 177: Change (2)
Bang!
“Kuak!”
A roar and a scream sounded to everyone in the vicinity. Mun Ran-yeong, who couldn’t bear to look at the scene, turned her head to the side.
Hu Bong’s body was being bumped into the wall rapidly, so she couldn’t bear to look.
Kwang!
“Kuak!”
However, C, who was in Hu Bong’s body, was definitely suffering from the pain, as she felt like she would die anytime. She was aiming to negotiate with Chun Yeowun by using his subordinate, but he seemed to be inflicting pain on his own subordinate's body without care.
‘Ugh! Is this body useless, or is he just a monster?’
Although she couldn’t read the memories of the bodies she took over, she could freely use the body’s powers; however, Hu Bong’s body felt powerless.
Crack!
What annoyed her the most was Hu Bong’s regenerative power. Even if his neck was broken, it didn’t take long to begin repairing itself. And thanks to that, Chun Yeowun was able to continuously hurt the body.
Bang!
“Ack! Stop! Enough! Please!”
C begged Chun Yeowun.
The constant banging seemed to be causing her to lose her senses, but Chun Yeowun said,
“You know what will make this stop.”
After saying those words, Chun Yeowun moved his hand, and the arms belonging to Hu Bong’s body were bent back and broken.
Crack!
“Aaack!”
The pain didn't stop this time, causing C to keep screaming. However, she had only decided to persevere because, despite the man’s position as Chun Yeowun’s subordinate and the body’s regenerative power, she figured that he wouldn’t be cruel enough to inflict such lasting pain.
“Go back to normal.”
Chun Yeowun waved his hand, breaking the fingers of the already broken hand. C felt pain all over her body, and was struggling to continue this act.
‘Please!’
Mun Ran-yeong was clenching her fists so tightly that blood gushed out of her flesh from her nails digging in. As her husband was in pain, there was no way she would be fine.
“Ha… Ha… I won’t.”
Despite the pain, C refused, causing Chun Yeowun’s eyes to glow.
‘Quite stubborn.’
Chun Yeowun knew that inflicting such pain on his own subordinate was terrible, but the woman who was enduring was very formidable in tolerance.
“Think rationally.”
“If I… turn back… you’ll surely kill me.”
She was aware of the fact that her life would be in jeopardy the moment the souls were returned to their original state.
Chun Yeowun responded with a cold voice,
“I’m starting to want to do that more and more.”
“Haaa… what I said was right. Unfortunately for you, if I remain in this body, you can never kill me.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“Well, you haven’t given me any fatal wounds yet.”
She smiled through the pain. Like she said, there weren’t fatal injuries inflicted yet and limbs were still connected with an intact dantian.
‘Annoying.’
Possessors of the blood of Spirit Beasts obtained an excellent regenerative power, but there was still a limit.
Chun Yeowun was immortal, meaning that even if his limbs were cut off, he could regenerate them again, but not Hu Bong. C laughed,
“Kik. I have lived for six hundred years. Do you think I haven’t felt this level of pain before? Give up.”
“Phew.”
Chun Yeowun sighed. It seemed like there was no use in hurting her.
Chun Yeowun looked at Hu Bong and Mun Ran-yeong, who were both worried sick about Hu Bong’s body and said,
“I apologize to both of you.”
“Huh?”
Mun Ran-yeong had an anxious expression as Chun Yeowun grabbed his sword, and spoke,
“Being reasonable won’t work here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he tried to swing the sword towards C, but then:
Shh!
Someone appeared, grabbing Chun Yeowun’s wrist and lifting it.
Chachacha!
Chun Yeowun quickly formed swords to attack the hand that was holding his wrist, drawing blood instantly.
“Who are you?”
Shh!
Baekgi and Mun Ra-yeong appeared on either side of the person who appeared. However, the man exerted a strong energy that the two couldn’t pierce.
“This is like jumping into a tiger’s jaw.”
The man who grabbed Chun Yeowun’s wrist and had his wrist maimed mumbled. His hair and eyebrows were noticeably red.
Although he was wearing sunglasses, Chun Yeowun could see him looking at him intently.
“2nd Guest!”
C, still in Hu Bong’s body, yelled with a bright face. However, the face soon darkened when she remembered that even the 3rd Guest Elena couldn’t handle Chun Yeowun.
“2nd Guest, Protocol 3! We need to hurry–”
Crack!
Before she could finish her words, Chun Yeowun controlled the surrounding energy to crush her jaw.
“You must be an important person.”
This man was strong enough to intervene and even change the direction of Chun Yeowun’s swing. Of course, it came at the cost of the injury apparent along his arm.
“How long are you going to hold me for?”
Chun Yeowun asked, looking at his wrist.
An incomparable energy rose around Chun Yeowun’s wrist.
Tremble!
The 2nd Guest’s eyebrows rose when he saw that the hand he was using to hold Chun Yeowun wouldn’t stop shaking.
The 2nd Guest said, as if surprised,
“Ha! This is really amazing. With this kind of power, it would be believable to say that you’ve completed the style of Songi.”
“Songi?”
“Holding on longer will be tough.”
Pak!
Unable to stand the energy, he took his hand off Chun Yeowun’s wrist. And that moment, Baekgi and Mun Ran-yeong got ready to kill him.
Flutter.
The 2nd Guest stretched out both his hands and rotated them as his sleeves stretched out, causing the energy around him to disperse.
“What?”
“What is this?”
It was their first time experiencing the energy dispersion. It wasn’t a technique of sorts, but rather the pure scattering of energy, so both of them were rightfully puzzled.
‘He isn’t an ordinary person either.’
Pak!
Right after the energy dispersion, Chun Yeowun stretched out a sword as quick as lightning towards the man’s forehead. A black haze was creeping out of the sword, revealing the Sky Demon Energy infused.
The power of the Invisible Sword with Sky Demon Energy was unimaginable.
“EIk! This is really dangerous.”
Shh!
The space where the man stood shook the moment that the sword cut through the air.
Clash!
The space where the black sword fell was dyed black as the sound of air being ripped could be heard.
Chun Yeowun’s eyes narrowed.
‘He folded the space?’
To others, it would have looked like the man moved very quickly to dodge the attack. However, Chun Yeowun, who realized that the space was manipulated, knew that it was fundamentally different from his Spatial Movement.
It was like looking at the ‘Shrinking Ground’ technique that ancestors were known to do in legends.
Tuk!
Then, something fell on the floor: the arm of the 2nd Guest.
Shh!
At the same time that his arm fell, the 2nd Guest appeared behind C, who still kept the body she exchanged with Hu Bong.
2nd Guest who looked at the fallen arm, was bewildered as he said,
“You cut off my arm.”
He didn’t seem to be in pain. Rather, he was stating a fact as if the severed arm was someone else’s.
‘What is this about?’
Chun Yeowun was curious about this person even more. Unlike the woman who was called the 3rd Guest, this person was definitely human but he didn’t learn martial arts or have any internal energy either.
The energy that flowed out was so natural and pure that it was void of any evil or malice.
‘Ah! The 2nd Guest can move through space?’
C, in Hu Bong’s body, couldn't hide her joy. To be honest, she had initially hoped that the 2nd Guest would run away to inform the others about the situation, but seeing the scene unfold, it seemed like they could escape together.
“2nd Guest, get me out please!”
However, his response was unexpected.
“You finally swapped bodies.”
“Huh?”
“There was nothing I could do about it before.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? 2nd Guest, what are you thinking–”
Papak!
At that moment, C received a shock and collapsed without waking up.
Chun Yeowun seemed puzzled at the 2nd Guest’s sudden action.
“What are you doing?”
He didn’t think that the man would attack his own ally, but the man raised his arms and said with a smile,
“I surrender.”
“What?”
The word 'surrender' was unexpected. Chun Yeowun looked at him with vigilant eyes, unable to understand the reason for such an underwhelming yield.
“What are you scheming?”
“Like I said, I surrender.”
“Are you messing around?”
“Does it seem like I am? I can’t even stop the bleeding from the demonic energy seeping through this severed arm.”
The 2nd Guest raised his arm and spoke sarcastically. Blood continued to flow from the cut arm as a black haze was surrounding it. This was the sign that the Sky Demon Energy was trying to infiltrate his body.
“You’re surrendering because of that?”
Chun Yeowun couldn’t believe him at all.
If he had the ability to manipulate and fold space, he would be able to run away alone. Instead, he decided to neutralize his own ally and then surrender?
“I guess so. It would be hard to believe because of just that reason, but there’s that too.”
“That?”
“Can you believe me if I do this?”
The 2nd Guest stepped on C, who was in the body of Hu Bong. At that moment, the bodies shook and permeated through space. It looked like he was folding the space again.
Shhh!
In an instant, Chun Yeowun’s form blurred, appearing in front of Hu Bong who was still in C’s naked body.
Chun Yeowun stretched out his hand towards the empty space.
Kwak!
At that moment, something jumped out of the empty space as Chun Yeowun was ready to grab the neck.
“Kuak!”
The 2nd Guest, who was caught by the neck, looked at Chun Yeowun with a surprised look.
‘He can control space?’
He didn’t seem to expect that Chun Yeowun would be able to capture him. Unfortunately, Chun Yeowun realized what he was trying to do, so he unfolded the space right in front of his hand as he understood the fundamentals of the man’s techniques.
Even though he couldn’t imitate it perfectly, he could at least interfere with the man’s power. Chun Yeowun spoke to the man, who was still shocked,
“What are you trying to do?”
“I… I was…walking halfway through the realm?”
“What?”
“This is surprising. After that monster, I haven’t seen anyone who entered into this realm with pure martial arts in a long time.”
Chun Yeowun couldn’t make sense of what the man was saying. Frowning, he pointed to his sword at the man’s forehead and warned him,
“It seems like you’re still dangerous, so just die.”
He grasped what this man could do; since Chun Yeowun knew the man’s ability, he was confident in taking him down.
He was planning to kill him instantly with the Supreme Sky Demon Sword, but the 2nd Guest said in an urgent voice,
“I-I can change your subordinates body back to normal.”
Hearing those words, Chun Yeowun stopped his hand, which was about to kill the man.
“What do you mean?”
2nd Guest raised his hand and took off the sunglasses he wore and said,
“Like I said. I’ll help you.”
