Chapter 167 : Towards the Honey Pot (3)
The Heavenly Demon Divine Art resonates with each other. Therefore, those who have learned the Heavenly Demon Divine Art can recognize each other.
For some reason, I, who was only 5 years old, was learning the Heavenly Demon Divine Art. And at the level of the peak of the Transcendent Realm.
I quickly moved my feet in the direction indicated by the resonance of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
Through the crowded streets and into the alley. After passing through the winding road several times, no people were seen at all.
Creepy.
For a moment, goosebumps rose all over my body.
I could tell what had caused this.
'Killing intent!'
For some reason, a sense of impatience also rushed in. The more that happened, the faster my steps became.
Finally, the last alley was visible.
If I just turn there, I would be able to see the source of the killing intent.
I turned the corner, and I was stunned by the sight that appeared in front of my eyes.
People wearing masks, so many that they covered the sky.
And a single woman standing in front of them.
It was my mom.
'Why is mom there?'
The masked people all kick off the ground at once.
The killing intent I felt was what hundreds of people were sending to just one person.
The mom I knew was a courtesan.
How many men did she roast to have so many enemies?
Of course, I'm not saying this because she's my mom, but my mom was a little too pretty.
I was about to kick off my feet with the thought of at least running away with my mom, but I hesitated.
Because I felt an unknown sense of incongruity from my mom.
She looks at the people who are shooting at her and opens her mouth.
"My neck hurts."
At that moment, a huge pressure that crushes the area occurs.
The masked people who had jumped into the air are all buried in the ground at once.
At the same time, my dantian rumbles again.
The resonance between the Heavenly Demon Divine Arts.
What I felt from my mom was surprisingly the same Heavenly Demon Divine Art as me.
And what my mom had just used was the Heavenly Demon's Reigning Steps.
'H-How?' The question that had not yet disappeared, the questions piled up even more.
Some of the people who had sat down on the floor get up.
The prayer I felt was surprisingly the Transformation Realm.
"As expected, you are amazing, Divine Maiden."
They called my mom a divine maiden.
Don't tell me she roasted them with the divine maiden setting.
Of course, that divine maiden would not be the divine maiden I know.
Because there was also a divine maiden in the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, and I knew that the lineage had been cut off early.
"I've come to receive the vessel."
It seems she stole a golden vessel from someone's house.
They all rush at my mom again.
My mom said to them lowly.
"Go eat shit."
My mom gently clenched her fist. That was also something I knew. But I still couldn't understand why my mom knew that. Because that form just now was the former Heavenly Demon's Heavenly Demon Three Fists.
A single fist that was lightly extended into the empty space.
The scene it created was by no means light.
A storm of qi that tore apart the empty space swept the front.
The ground was overturned, and the walls collapsed.
The masked people who had reached the Transformation Realm all stopped and could not move forward.
At that moment, my mom grabbed a sword that had fallen.
And the form of the raised sword was surprisingly the Heavenly Demon Three Swords.
Slice.
With a single blow that cuts through the empty space, two or three heads fall.
My mom began to swing her sword with elegant movements, as if she were dancing to the music of a musician.
Every time that happened, a neck soared into the empty space.
Clang!
For the first time, my mom's sword was blocked.
The masked person who had blocked the sword said.
"Eat it."
At that moment, the masked people all took out a pill from their bosoms and ate it. It was a familiar sight. And as expected, their momentum rose one step higher than before.
"You're using a cheap trick."
My mom swung her sword without any hesitation at the masked people who were emitting a bloodthirsty energy.
And this time, the necks of about ten people were separated from their bodies at once.
My mom.
She roamed like a single wolf that had entered a flock of sheep.
Although the masked people had become one step stronger by eating the pill, they were no match for my mom.
I couldn't believe this scene now.
Because the martial prowess my mom was showing was at least the Profound Realm, that is, the Transcending Demon.
"As rumored, you are amazing."
Just then, other masked people appeared from one side.
And they resembled the people I knew well.
A total of three people appeared.
A person wearing a black snake mask.
A person wearing a white rabbit mask.
A person wearing a red ox mask.
I could tell the moment I saw them.
That they were masters on a different level from the masked people.
'At least the Profound Realm.'
They all rush at my mom at once.
And my mom was not pushed back at all, even while facing the three who had reached the Profound Realm.
It was at a certain moment.
Suddenly, my mom's movements began to slow down rapidly.
In the end, my mom allowed the opponent's attack for the first time.
Thwack!
My mom, who was kicked in the abdomen, urgently distanced herself. The three of them did not miss the opportunity they had caught once.
The person wearing the black snake mask extends his hand, and a black, unpleasant energy binds my mom.
The person wearing the white rabbit mask lightly kicks off the ground and goes up high. He soon becomes one with the sun and then comes down and strikes my mom's shoulder with his two feet.
The person wearing the red ox mask clasps his two fists and swings them greatly at my mom's head.
Thwack!
My mom vomits blood and flies into the air. I, who couldn't watch anymore, was about to rush out, but I couldn't.
Because my eyes had momentarily met my mom's, who was flying in the air.
My mom, who saw me for the first time, was flustered, and then she was telling me to run away.
Of course, I was not one to listen to that. I immediately added strength to my steps.
In my fist, which was clenched so tightly that my veins were about to burst, I gathered as much internal energy as I could, although it was small.
I extended that towards the three who were attacking my mom.
My all-out blow was blocked so futilely.
"Jae-ha!"
My mom called me urgently.
"I've found him, it's the vessel. That bitch is no longer needed. Kill her."
At the black snake's words, the white rabbit kicks off the ground again lightly.
The white rabbit, as if he had teleported, reached my mom's front. The white rabbit kicked his foot at my mom. My mom, seeing the white rabbit's attack, did not show any reaction.
My mom's eyes were fixed only on me.
I.
I said to the bad three who were tormenting my mom.
"Stop right now."
The white rabbit's attack stopped right in front of my mom's Adam's apple.
The black snake let out an exclamation of admiration.
"Oh! To think that he can emit this much spirit even though he is incomplete!"
The red ox, who had gotten behind me before I knew it, crashed into me.
A huge shock washed over my body.
At this rate, it was too much to deal with them.
Fortunately, I was not the me of the old days.
I forcibly raised my martial arts level to deal with them.
From the peak of the Transcendent Realm to the Extreme Demon.
I turned my body back and grabbed the red ox's body.
Another rise in martial arts occurred.
From the Extreme Demon to the Transcending Demon.
A fullness that had not been there before was felt in my body.
At the same time, I threw the red ox as it was.
The red ox flew into the air and was buried in the ground.
My mom was saying something with a trembling voice, looking at me like this.
"Jae-ha! No! Please!"
I ignored my mom's words and approached the red ox's mask, which had fallen on the floor, and broke its neck as it was.
Creak.
It was at that moment that the white rabbit kicked off the ground again.
The white rabbit, who had been in front of my mom, I don't know how he did it, but he had reached my front.
A movement as if he had jumped through space.
I saw the white rabbit's long foot coming down to strike me.
I raised my two arms.
Boom!
It was a heavy footwork that was completely unimaginable from a slender leg.
It was as if a huge iron ingot had fallen.
Although my blocked arm was tingling, I had no time to appreciate that pain. The next attack followed immediately.
"Interesting. Then, how about this?"
A heterogeneous space that surrounds me.
I could see that the black snake had deployed a boundary.
'Was he a martial artist who could even spread a boundary!'
At that moment, a gravity that was twice as much as usual acted.
The white rabbit moved again. The white rabbit, even though he was in a boundary, moved as fast as the first time, no! faster than the first time, as if he were not affected by gravity.
I quickly raised my two arms, and the white rabbit's foot was embedded in my face a beat faster.
Thwack!
For a moment, my mind flew away. I couldn't see the left side of my vision. It seemed the place that was attacked was my left eye.
Thinking that it wouldn't do at this rate, I was also about to spread a boundary. At that moment, cough! Blood poured out of my mouth endlessly.
"Huh?"
Why is my body like this?
Although I had allowed an attack, it was definitely not to the extent that my internal organs would be shaken.
My mom's eyes, which were looking at me, began to tremble rapidly from this point on.
"Ah... ah... no..."
My mom's trembling pupils stopped.
My mom smiled brightly at me as usual.
"Don't worry. Mom will protect Jae-ha."
A huge wave of energy rises from my mom.
That is the last flame that burns with life as collateral.
It was the sight of the innate qi burning.
Cough! My mom vomits blood.
My mom did not stop and continued to raise her energy.
I had to stop my mom.
I had to save my mom.
I.
"Reversal of Heaven Boundary."
My best was the worst choice that should never have been made.
"Cough!"
The moment I spread the boundary, all the strength drained from my body.
And blood poured out of my mouth endlessly.
I felt the balance of the body that made up my body rapidly collapsing.
A look of bewilderment was on my face.
Something was strange about this.
Just then, I saw the white rabbit's footwork flying towards my face.
I couldn't move.
'I can't avoid this.'
Just then, a familiar back appeared in front of me.
"Jae-ha, just sleep for a while. Everything will be over."
At the same time, I lost consciousness.
* * *
I could instinctively tell that what I was seeing now was someone's memory.
He was called a child prodigy by those around him.
He was a human of the kind called a genius.
Such a person met a woman and fell in love.
And they had a child.
However, the child was not healthy.
From birth, the balance of his body was extremely broken.
It was a miracle that he was born.
The Demon Doctor, the best doctor in the Divine Cult, said to the child's parents.
"This child will die soon."
"I know that the reason I came to see you is not because I wanted to hear those words."
"Don't make a choice you'll regret. At this rate, you are sure to be the youngest young leader in history. Are you going to throw away your future like this!"
"What I regret is that I can't do anything for my child right now."
"Haa, I'm really going crazy. You're not in your right mind."
"Please tell me the way. You know, don't you?"
"Haa! I really don't understand. What is this small life that you would destroy your own smooth-sailing life."
"Because I'm a father."
"Alright. I'll say it once, so listen carefully. This child was originally destined to die. Please put away that bloodthirsty gaze. Ahem! To continue, this child, from birth, did not achieve the harmony of his body. In other words, he was born in a state where both yin and yang were lacking."
"So what should I do?"
"You can't do it alone. The sacrifice of both of you will be needed. And after that, the two of you will never be able to return to your original state. Will you still do it?"
The woman next to him let out a sigh of relief.
"That's a relief. That there's something I can do."
"You two are crazy."
He and she were looking at the child who had fainted from crying. The child slowly opens his eyes.
The faces of the two reflected in the eyes of the child, Yoo Jae-ha, were visible.
It was his mom and dad.
That's right.
This was my memory.
The Demon Doctor said.
"If the mother gives the yin mind's eye, and the father gives the yang mind's eye to the child as much as he is lacking, the child will not die for now. But this is not a complete cure. In the first place, this child was born without what an original person should have. This is just a kind of temporary measure. A crisis will surely come again someday. And at that time, he will surely die. Will you still do it?"
My dad said.
"I will save him then too."
My mom said.
"Because we are this child's parents.”
