Chapter 26: Battle Field (1)
Cho Sang-jin freaked out at Kang-junâs words.
âWahh! It really is him.â
He was instantly stunned.
A really tough man! He would rather meet a ghost then see that man twice! A human that he would avoid even more than ghosts.
Cho Sang-jinâs legs trembled and he could barely stand as he thought about the incident with Kang-jun a few days ago.
It wasnât a dream or reality. He clearly remembered it, no matter how insane it seemed. His body remembered it vividly. The pain of having his fingers broken one at a time and that horrifying moment when he died.
A fantasy! He didnât want to suffer that gruesome fantasy again! No, maybe it wouldnât be a fantasy but reality this time.
âOhh!â
Cho Sang-jinâs eyes shook like a madman as he stared at Kang-jun. Then he immediately gave a 90 degrees bow to Kang-jun and shouted.
âH-Hyung-nim! I deserve to die for my sins. A hyung I knew asked me to fill in the numbers for some pocket money.â
ââŠâŠâ
âR-really. I didnât know Hyung-nim was involved. Please forgive me.â
Cho Sang-jin had retreated to another karaoke bar since that day. There was only one reason. He feared encountering Kang-jun again. He never dreamed that he would meet Kang-jun again here. Cho Sang-jin was very unlucky.
Then Kang-jun sent a look to Cho Sang-jin and said.
âYou should live life nicer. Donât enter groups to intimidate people.â
âYes, Hyung-nim. I will live a nicer life.â
âStop now that you know.â
âYes, Hyung-nim. I will really live a nicer life.â
Cho Sang-jin obediently followed Kang-junâs words. He immediately sat down like he didnât have any strength.
It was natural. Kang-jun had already absorbed his energy. Thanks to that, he had four points in black magic energy.
That was enough. Kang-jun absorbed black magic energy from Cho Sang-jin. He didnât hesitate to absorb the energy every time he encountered bad guys.
This was how he gained the black magic energy. He wouldnât use it against anyone good.
A person wouldnât be able to change themselves so easily. Despite receiving the punishment field, Cho Sang-jin wasnât someone who could become good overnight.
Kang-jun no longer had any interest in Cho Sang-jin. In addition, he didnât want to fight with Lee Bong-cheolâs group. Usually Kang-jun would be afraid of them, but now they were just nuisances flying around.
âI need to start selling quickly. I need to make 1.5 million won today.â
In the meantime, Lee Bong-cheol was shocked when he saw Cho Sang-jin cringing in front of Kang-jun. It was the same for the other people next to him.
The boss of Cho Sang-jinâs gang, Hwang Seong-gil grabbed him by the shoulders.
âCho Sang-jin! Are you crazy?â
âSeong-gil hyung-nim, I will fall. Hyung-nim should also be careful.â
âWhat are you on about?â
âIâm sorry. I can only do this much.â
Cho Sang-jin got to his feet and quickly staggered away. An awkward gait like a man who was in a hurry. He didnât look back as he disappeared.
âIs that guy really crazy?â
He couldnât understand Cho Sang-jinâs behaviour. In addition, he had cringed away and called that other person Hyung-nim. But something even stranger happened. Lee Byeong-cheol standing in front of Kang-jun literally collapsed to the ground.
âW-why am I so dizzy?â
âEuh! My leg cramped all of a suddenâŠâ
Flames burned in Hwang Seong-gilâs eyes as he stared at Lee Bong-cheol and his men collapsed on the ground.
âYou bastard! What did you do to them?â
âThere was only a small number of you. It is nice. Iâm glad that you resisted.â
âResisted?â
âBut something really scary is going to happen to you now.â
Kang-jun smiled coldly at Hwang Seong-gil.
He had absorbed the energy from the annoying Lee Bong-cheol gang. So everyone had fallen to the ground.
Hwang Seong-gil was the only one who was okay.
[The target has resisted.]
[Would you like to open the battle field? Yes/No]
It meant Hwang Seong-gil had considerable combat capabilities.
This fight was inevitable.
âYes! Open the battle field.â
Kang-jun exclaimed while looking at Hwang Seong-gil.
Susususu.
The space around them started to distort.
[The battle field is open.]
[1 black magic energy has been consumed.]
In contrast to Cho Sang-jin, Hwang Seong-gil had a sturdy body and fought well.
He had a small services office doing lucrative jobs. There were things like demolition services, forced evictions, illegal debt collection and taking care of petty disputes at the market like today.
In Lee Bong-cheolâs original request, he would have finished the work and gone back by now. The situation had become strange.
âWhere is this place?â
A dark space. However, he could see clearly in front of him.
A youth with silver hair. His silver hair was moving like wind was blowing through it, and a cold light seemed to be coming from his eyes.
Hwang Seong-gilâs body trembled with foreboding.
âYou bastard! What are you doing? Where is this place?â
âThis place. It is the place where you are going to die.â
This was the first time Kang-jun had used the battle field.
The time limit was five minutes. If he didnât win then it would be a defeat. And then Kang-junâs black magic energy would be given to Hwang Seong-gil.
Therefore, he had to win no matter what.
Having a large amount of black magic energy taken would incapacitate him.
[You can summon your household to the battle field.]
[Available to Summon]
Ratian infantry: 2
Ratian archer: 1
Hayun
He already knew Hayun could be summoned, but he didnât know about the creatures from Hwanmong. Summoning the ratians would only consume one black magic energy, while Hayun would consume five. But now wasnât the time to save his black magic energy. He needed an unconditional victory.
âSummon all!â
The ratians appeared right in front of Kang-jun.
âKekekeke!â
âKikikik!â
The ratian infantry were armed with clubs while the archer had a bow.
It wasnât just them.
A girl in a white dress and neat black hair.
Suuk.
Hayun posed naturally like she had always been there. But Hwang Seong-gil was spooked as he stared at her.
Kang-jun didnât need to explain to Hayun why she was called here. Her resentful feelings came back the moment she entered the battle field.
Of course, the target was Hwang Seong-gil. Entering the battle field itself gave her hostility.
At this moment, Hwang Seong-gil was completely Hayunâs enemy.
âI wonât forgive you!â
Hayunâs hair became wild and her clothes changed colour. Her eyes subsequently turned red.
âHeok!â
Hwang Seong-gil flinched back with shock.
Syuok â bam!
Meanwhile, something flew out of nowhere and embedded into his thigh. The pain of something sharp digging into his flesh?
âUgh! A-arrow?â
Hwang Seong-gil wasnât in a normal state.
A ghost suddenly appeared! And a rat head monster shot him with a bow.
Where was this place? What on earth was going on?
âOhh!â
Hwang Seong-gil couldnât even resist and started to flee.
