Another Black Wizard (2)
Throbbing!
I needed rest as soon as possible.
I squeezed out all the remaining mana and poured it into the Undead, and they returned to their original state.
However, they needed some time to recover.
Sung-chul Ahn and the gangsters were following me, almost in a daze.
Well, after seeing such a sight, it would be stranger if they were okay. Limbs were falling off and rolling around, and even heads were falling off and rolling around.
Fortunately, today’s fight was not recorded. No one would believe it even if I told them, but I needed to keep it quiet.
Thud.
“Ugh!”
When I turned around, Sung-chul Ahn and the other gang members fell on their butts.
I guess they were surprised by this and fell.
“Mr. Ahn.”
“Y-Yes!”
Sung-chul Ahn jumps up from his seat.
It’s hard for someone in that position to act so respectfully. But he was so shocked just now that he couldn’t come to his senses.
“I think you were quite surprised today.”
“W-What on earth was that?”
“It’s not human power. Think of it as a type of superpower.”
If I had heard this story yesterday, I might have thought I was crazy, but not now. There was no way to explain it other than superpowers.
“A-Alright.”
“And you must keep it a secret. If today’s events are revealed…….”
I scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.
In the end, I unleashed my killing intent, and all the gang members fell backward again.
“It will be hard to survive.”
“I-I will keep that in mind.”
“Hoo. I’ll have to take two days to recover and come back. I’ll finish it then.”
“I trust you will.”
At this point, Sung-chul Ahn would have understood.
That I am the only one who can take care of K.
Rumble, rumble.
The limousine bus crosses the road.
We drove on an unpaved road that was half demolished for a while, but whether the bus vibrated or not, the gang members were in a daze.
Sung-chul Ahn was the same.
Dae-geun Lee barely opened his mouth.
“Hyung-nim [a term of respect for an older male], what on earth was that?”
“Didn’t CEO Lee Yoo-sung say it was a superpower?”
“But how can I believe that?”
“Then can you explain it?”
“…….”
Dae-geun Lee couldn’t say anything.
It was a power that transcended humans. It was a power that was completely divorced from normal thinking, so there was no way to explain it.
Dae-geun Lee shook his head.
“They are transcendents.”
“To think that transcendents actually exist.”
“You know what will happen if you reveal this, right?”
“Of course.”
“Tell the kids to keep their mouths shut. Unless they want to say goodbye to the world.”
“Yes, Hyung-nim.”
Again, they remain silent.
It seemed like it would take quite some time for the shock of today to wear off.
Step, step.
K silently collected the Undead and put them all on the bus.
It was time to return to the hideout.
Although none of the Undead were completely unusable, they needed repairs. And he himself needed some time to recover.
K turned around.
“Heok!”
In general, humans show similar reactions.
Having seen this, Y Construction would have realized that K was no ordinary human.
“Today’s work is a secret.”
“Y-Yes, of course.”
“See you in two days.”
“Yes! Take care!”
K gets on the limousine bus.
In the back seat, K took off his stuffy mask. When he took off his robe, his waterfall-like hair flowed down.
Blonde hair and blue eyes.
She was a beautiful woman in her late 20s with a very beautiful face.
Unlike just now, a clear voice flowed out.
“This is interesting…….”
Her eyes sparkled.
It was like she had found a new toy.
The man, who was presumed to be a priest, had great skills. It was a huge deal for her, who believed that no one in this world could defeat her.
Wasn’t she even feeling lonely?
But she met someone with similar skills to her, and she felt her heart beating.
“I want to have him.”
Her possessiveness is triggered.
She wanted to make him her slave. If that happened, she might be able to conquer the world in the future.
“I will definitely have him.”
Black waves surged in her golden eyes.
Late dawn.
I wake up from sleep with a tickling sensation on my face.
A small night light was on in the bedroom, so I could clearly see the object in front of me.
I widened my eyes, thinking it was a ghost, but a small hand like a fern blocked my mouth.
Soo-jung woke me up.
I quietly went out of the front door and got on the elevator.
“I almost died of surprise.”
“Tch. Dad was going to sleep until morning if Soo-jung didn’t wake him up, right?”
“I was so tired.”
“How did it go yesterday? I fell asleep waiting for Dad.”
“Um……. It was a draw.”
“It was a draw?”
“Both sides suffered considerable damage. That guy suggested a truce first. We agreed not to attack each other for two days.”
“Are you sure he’s Grandpa’s disciple?”
“If that old man’s name is Arcaon, then I’m sure.”
Soo-jung nods.
It became clear now. The old man who taught Soo-jung black magic is K’s teacher. In a way, they were the same kind of people, but I didn’t want to get along with such a human at all.
The reason why Soo-jung woke me up must be because of that.
“Then we have to win.”
“We must.”
We move to a place with quite strong Yin energy in Yeongjongdo [an island near Incheon, South Korea].
Through geographical research, Soo-jung found out the place where criminals were massacred a long time ago.
Yeongjongdo was a place of exile a long time ago, and in the place of exile, people were often given poison or dragged away and killed without anyone knowing.
A mountain in the south of Yeongjongdo.
Those who died a long time ago and became evil spirits are swarming. A strong Yin energy emanated from it, and although it was not as good as Mangwon-dong [a neighborhood in Seoul known for its strong Yin energy], it was quite suitable for training.
“If we try training today and it doesn’t work, we’ll have to take a special vacation. Soo-jung is about to enter elementary school, so this is the last chance.”
“Okay. I will definitely reach the 4th Circle.”
Now, I have to risk my life to reach the 4th Circle.
Until now, there was no sense of incongruity. I could control quite a few Undead even at the current stage, and the development of the uninhabited island was going smoothly.
But it will be different in the future.
I got involved with some psycho, so I couldn’t sleep comfortably unless I reached the realm.
The evil spirits rushed at us as always, but after absorbing them a few times through soul absorption, they retreated far away.
It’s been a while since I’ve trained.
I’ve been so busy with business these days that I’ve neglected my training, so my realm has been stagnant.
I close my eyes and start absorbing Yin energy.
The surrounding Yin energy was quickly seeping in, but I still felt that it was not enough.
Swoosh!
The circles in my heart start to rotate and quickly absorb Yin energy.
The circles swell as if they are about to burst. But they can’t split any further and are spewed out.
I need more Yin energy and enlightenment.
I pulled out the enlightenment I had gained a long time ago from my head.
‘Enlightenment about life and death is the way to the 4th Circle. What is the connection between life and death? Life and death are one, so I reached the last stage of the 3rd Circle with enlightenment about it, but it’s hard to go beyond that.’
The training continues.
I started to broaden my thinking a little more, and morning came in an instant.
“Dad?”
“Um…….”
The sun has already started to rise.
It was still February, but the sun rising meant it was at least 7 o’clock.
If I’m not careful, my wife might wake up first.
“Lisa will be angry, right?”
“Mom will be up and preparing breakfast, right?”
“Probably.”
I have to think of an excuse.
I can pretend that I woke up early and went for a walk with Soo-jung.
My head is complicated while going home.
I thought the road to the 4th Circle would not be easy. But it feels more difficult than I thought.
“Dad. I think we need a stronger stimulus.”
“A strong stimulus?”
“It means we have to go to a place where evil spirits are swarming even more and start training in earnest. By tomorrow.”
“I don’t know if it’s possible even if we train until tomorrow.”
“Dad can do it!”
Soo-jung said positively.
Come to think of it, I’ve been thinking too negatively until now.
Looking at the things I’ve done so far, they were full of impossible things. It was my mental strength that made those impossible things possible.
I thought I was getting a little complacent because the development of the uninhabited island was in full swing. It was only a few months ago that I lived in a dilapidated house. It wasn’t time to be lazy yet.
“I was too complacent.”
“Dad can do it.”
“Okay. Let’s go right away today. If you’re talking about training, it means you’ve already decided on a place, right?”
“Yes!”
“Where is it?”
“Baekhwa Ridge.”
“Um? Isn’t that a fierce battleground of the Korean War?”
“Soo-jung has done her own research and geographical studies. There are several candidates, but I think the Yin energy of Baekhwa Ridge will be quite strong.”
“Okay.”
Soo-jung’s expectations will not be wrong.
It was the same when making the Mana Spirit Pill and when carrying out the Yi Sun-sin Project. She’s my daughter, but I can’t help but admit her genius.
Tap, tap, tap!
When I came into the house, I heard my wife cooking.
Vegetables were being cut on the cutting board, and soybean paste stew was boiling on the induction cooker on the table.
The side dishes were neatly arranged, and steam was rising from the rice cooker.
“Welcome home.”
“I went for a walk with Soo-jung for a while.”
“I thought so.”
I think I married well after all.
If it were another wife, she would have scolded me from early in the morning for taking my young daughter somewhere.
I’m hungry after training all night. It seems like my body is demanding more nutrients to recover from the injuries I sustained yesterday.
I say in passing.
“I think I have to go to Cheorwon [a region in South Korea near the DMZ] today.”
“Cheorwon?”
“Because of the work requested by H Group. I’ll be back around tomorrow.”
“Yes. I understand.”
There’s no problem so far.
Going on a business trip while doing business is always the case. But it’s a little different when Soo-jung is involved.
“Mom! I’m going too!”
“Why are you? Making Dad tired.”
“I’m researching the Korean War, so I’m going to visit the memorial hall and go on a field trip myself.”
“Stay home because Dad is tired.”
Soo-jung gives me a look. If I can’t provide support here, there’s a high possibility that she’ll get lost on her own.
It was about time for Soo-jung to go to the next realm. In other words, she needs training.
“Honey. Don’t worry. It’s a simple task, it just takes a long time. Rather, it’s good to give Soo-jung a tour.”
“Are you really okay?”
“I’m telling you it’s okay. I wouldn’t take her if it didn’t seem okay.”
“If you’re okay, then it’s okay.”
Fortunately, I was able to get my wife’s approval.
Soo-jung looked at me without my wife knowing and winked once.
