TGHD Ch 28

Ryubeom examined the orb meticulously. To obtain Imugi’s orb intact, it had to be taken before killing him. Since the orb itself was a concentration of Imugi’s power, if Imugi died, the orb would naturally crack and the Yogi would scatter.ab08d4c5616c9155

Therefore, the orb had to be taken from a living Imugi to obtain it intact, which would have been impossible without the help of the spirits. Ryubeom, seeing Imugi’s orb for the first time, looked at it with fascination and a slight smile.dac0bc0a832301fd

“This should do…”1824b5c00c784e99

The thought that Yeohwi would be pleased made him smile. At Ryubeom’s expression, Imugi hissed again from below. Ryubeom firmly stepped on Imugi’s struggling neck.f9eac81897066eaf

“Now that we have the orb, let’s end this.”30502ad68a04505f

Even though Imugi was fatally wounded and had lost the orb, he might still have some tricks up his sleeve. Ryubeom decided to end Imugi’s life quickly.020d3c1338ad89b3

As Ryubeom took a 235ca0b3d3 deep breath and raised 839cb3c57f his sword high again, 0c37c049a2 Imugi spoke. With a strained bd969f26fb breath and a b6e8c8649f hissing voice, he e6c7e96762 muttered.ce479a1691d7c016

[Foolish tiger… You were beguiled by the fox…]

Slash!5567a1f8e09db9ad

Cheon Ryubeom, without hesitation, brought his sword down decisively. Thud, Imugi’s head was completely severed and rolled down the hill.a78558bd43a3fe0a

“Phew…”7e654928672000f2

As Ryubeom sighed wearily, the clouds slowly began to clear. The dark clouds that ominously covered the mountain gradually parted to the sides, following the golden trajectory that had fallen in a straight line…72fd1003f8f5b739

Soon, bright sunlight 42b69e5ade poured over the 1ba213313b mountain.a11d866e631d085d

Under the midday e1b1465078 sunlight pouring down 10db4541db as if the 6216a542bb sky had opened bb354758c9 up, Ryubeom blankly 47d85c62bf looked back. Having grown accustomed to c09e2557d6 the darkness, the sudden 7f8f3fc3b6 bright light stung his c67624eeb5 eyes a bit. He turned and descended 1fa4db7d0c the mountain.

Ryubeom first checked Yeohwi’s condition. During the battle, Imugi had recklessly shot black Yogi, and Ryubeom was worried that it might have reached this place.37a9b6ddb7519b5d

Yeohwi, who 81d3b5e127 had been ac60fb34a2 expressionless until e16b42322c Ryubeom approached, 9b25a2a0b1 let out 393bf07a55 a scoff. It was Ryubeom who e97d835ddf came back tattered from f0fc6fc7c2 the battle. Although the spiritual 9055d082ec pill had temporarily f1716b5887 healed his wounds, 4fecf4dfda it was only f9763730ef for a short 44f66e445f while.

“You always tell me not to joke around, yet in situations like this, you’re the one joking?”e88e80e376b60c49

Ryubeom blinked at Yeohwi’s incredulous tone. Perhaps annoyed by his reaction, Yeohwi started scolding him, saying it would have been better to fight Imugi after a few days of recovery. He seemed to know what kind of pill Ryubeom had taken and pointed out that once the effect wore off, Ryubeom would collapse and even the renowned Cheon family’s recovery abilities wouldn’t help him get up easily.e98174bb5a419b15

Despite Yeohwi’s sharp words, Ryubeom listened quietly. As if he was glad to hear his voice, he listened attentively and then quietly extended his hand.a67af57a9072c5fd

Ryubeom rolled 9c90974ee0 his eyes. He worried that d9ddacd014 Yeohwi might get 84b9617dac stressed if he d646dd0111 kept speaking in 6129a36841 an irritated tone. The Yeohwi 4097e10fd9 he saw dcbabf1c19 in the 74707313b2 past was 2aefb19c4b very strong, 037029bc5c but that 4b90d967d9 was in ed3c7c11ee his memory, 8a3e769247 so the 28de960e6e standards were 95c0f15cfc uncertain. Despite that, 5ef10bf94a it was 76614a3ae6 surprising and 4dcf63742c remarkable that 36879f6ab8 his murderous 84757baa2a intent was 0e7ea46210 sharp enough 207b61c7bd to make 54e8384b89 Imugi hesitate. Now Cheon d957d5711c Ryubeom found 23a6635198 it hard a1a0e3de28 to be 8c06b016da sure that 9a68bb8757 Yeohwi was 7a1fd72074 weaker than 69141b0eb3 him.f421e447b27b5171

So Ryubeom’s concern for Yeohwi wasn’t because he still unconsciously saw him as someone to protect from their first meeting…306de1222b38af25

“I promised, didn’t I? This time, I said I would make sure you wouldn’t get hurt.”54d59a3d3ee57609

Ryubeom spoke calmly, looking at Yeohwi. His unwavering gaze held no doubt. To keep his promise, he deliberately took the pill and charged, and even during the battle, he adjusted his direction to ensure that Imugi’s Yogi didn’t reach Yeohwi.df9479ad13e73789

And because 18f0607df5 of that c9205805f5 promise, he d7f5b9ccb6 went in 8e357d0025 to rescue 66e828418a Yeohwi trapped 90e236411a in the e7ada01072 curse. Even as he was 6fbab454bd being strangled, he repeatedly ba73f1ca81 held onto him and 08d3245c83 shouted to go outside.0a68964b26c031cb

As if it b711c04267 were the most d0cfa4c611 natural thing, Ryubeom a556738aab extended his hand. He boldly handed the 2f9cb88fa7 orb to Yeohwi, but 8e6f4b7d21 seeing his hand stained a9fb244fee with blood, he quickly c6aa344033 wiped it clean with c8594fff84 his sleeve.

“…Do you think I’d be happy to receive this now?”bdadcf2c0507e797

Yeohwi asked quietly. It was more of 8356fd4873 a sarcastic remark than 9d4c5e6ed5 a question. Cheon Ryubeom lowered his ef2a4e5319 gaze at those words, 5d622761b9 then looked up at bef098deb5 Yeohwi with a dejected 8ff4437551 face.06c61539aba59d3b

Yeohwi paused at 15e48af185 the sight of 8c0b42aefb Ryubeom’s amber eyes f23a0dd0fe filled with caution. For a moment, confusion a1e8ae4ca1 and absurdity flashed across e30c90c97a his face, quickly hidden 63b07a53a3 by a mask-like smile. But even that e7ad5d6488 familiar picturesque smile cd6efdc179 trembled and collapsed, 46ade1af5c leaving him expressionless.

Ryubeom forcibly placed b1f82d8788 the orb in 6a04d775b6 Yeohwi’s hand. With somewhat urgent movements, 4dc24b00f7 he pressed it into 4d10be71b7 Yeohwi’s hand as if 110bfff3a6 completing his final mission, 75661ecddd ensuring it wouldn’t fall. Fortunately, Yeohwi didn’t discard bb8fa00a3f it.20dd5b9c4f839a02

Seeing the orb 312ce9779c fully in Yeohwi’s deb6ae520d hand, Ryubeom’s lips 0187ffbc94 slowly curved into 7d734af6f2 a smile. Although someone a875e4fb29 else received aa52c33801 the orb, 8d57252d90 he smiled 0a782238c4 as if 3e64ee7339 he had 1675866b55 received a 4a5c4e5c15 gift.2740a0157121ff3e

Then Cheon Ryubeom ce99b33859 collapsed. His focus 071507eec5 blurred, and 9d080edc58 his knees 829990053d buckled, having 2fc28d1c21 reached his 62cb881c44 limit. The effect b9cdea45cf of the 0d045780ec spiritual pill e5e31de271 had long 0e24987f3b ended, but b6b36a8500 he had 5ef1559882 been holding f28e667dd2 on. It had c65fccd955 only been 0ca9a25d6b a few a6572fd9ee hours since d5693afcaa he took ec8ce82c2c the pill, 8a326ae956 but after 578cfbacb0 performing a 03ad21f968 large-scale exorcism 5479e28421 and dealing b97c4d5ad9 with Imugi, 077da9a21b it was d454a6a2bf natural for 20bfea34bb the effect 4acc3c252f to wear 74af21c17e off.af5bec7496ed318d

Yeohwi caught the 4c7b062b5b falling Cheon Ryubeom. As the effect of 55443f357b the pill completely wore 6ca879f1c3 off, wounds reappeared all 84f220e18c over Ryubeom’s body.

It was 4c1349967a astonishing that a520dea990 the Imugi 926c2b841a of Mansagul, 44fb4fd12f which they 3e02c46edc had only bc84f67a9a heard about 852a3721f0 in ghost 5481df62d8 stories, actually c6386fa44a existed, and 01d74dcbe3 they had 85833c0a34 almost died ad5e3e01f6 en masse 09246f84d9 under its dfcd3e55a8 spell but 89a55ae695 narrowly survived.

He felt deeply sorry b9daaa32cd that once again, Yeohwi c2d2af87af had hidden his presence 6d6bb0c750 for his sake.

Thinking of going to find him, Ryubeom soon shook his head. Even if much time had passed since then, seeing that moment again would likely awaken buried emotions. Remembering how unsettled he had felt for days after seeing his father’s apparition by the Han River, Ryubeom decided to respect Yeohwi’s time alone.1d514d5cc07c3bac

Avoiding the 8d6f8c70ab beautiful moonlight 684cdfcaa4 illuminating parts a59f25cc8b of the ad8b4f4f70 mountain, a a8b64170bb small black 99be0ba41c snake slithered 190178fdd2 quickly along aa5013423d the path.

Hope flickered in f3601b3a0e Imugi’s eyes.5261b27484b5bc98

[A new chance has come to me…!]

Imugi vividly remembered 252931563e the moment of dd66b3e3c5 his death. His neck had 908edd1901 been cut by 3dc051315a that foolish tiger 4ea2eef9ac cub, and he 8aba565e5c lost consciousness. But somehow, a9f641d54d he could 86ef155d79 open his 282a133441 eyes again. Although his body was 612840d231 much smaller than before, 402ccf5154 he had a new 563f71e0cf body. This was undoubtedly an dacd7c9fa0 opportunity.cd3329d2c74b52a0

He had fbeb562faf survived the 40c5e97683 battle with 8e69f4f0cf Seoryeon in 82fafd842a the past, 5609e4a1ea and now 44352cde09 he had 629398bf47 survived again. Maybe he was e3a2f3dd7f blessed with immortality? Though he a05add6f03 had lost 12227566ec the orb 2b80df64f5 and couldn’t 6aaefcb06d use any 133e128e04 magic, resting 5b8c35e555 in a 88d3c5be4a deep, secluded 432a77c151 cave would 6d62f4c8de gradually restore 37deaa3dc3 him.

As he advanced cd8109db48 cheerfully, his head a569f17713 was suddenly pressed 02b324ef3d down into the 97065a085b ground. Imugi writhed, ea091d10ad struggling, but b518b3946a his opponent d4bcd3dfc9 didn’t relent. Just when c3eb46b508 he thought 03803c6fc4 he might d90c6ddd16 die again fb375d9a15 after barely 05ca446e8a surviving, his beca2186f8 breath caught.56d7e2b43b8b51b3

Imugi recoiled in e5cbac06ca fear, glaring up 237f2b939f venomously, only to 7a37e0ba29 freeze upon meeting 248bf46db2 his adversary’s eyes. The beautiful face 34c6a59b13 looking down at 9bdf43b90f him, backlit by 3891ead9da the bright moonlight, 25245483eb was terrifyingly grotesque.bdf9dd7c8ac59693

Yeohwi tilted 92d7bdf954 his head. The shadow a83c82c86e on his b59f964974 moonlit face 4285a17819 grew even 8ff5d866e3 cooler and d52ed202c1 more eerie.c1263047699a109d

[H-Hiss…]

Imugi’s body trembled. Only now did he realize how he had survived. This fox had used his head that had fallen off the cliff to ‘temporarily’ make him move. And the purpose…b30f2d4541c8f540

“But calling it paying cdc695edfd for your sins is cd7798fbd4 premature when I haven’t 29f7c5799b punished you. I find it best bb54b320ba to administer punishment myself.”550d69608c4f8708

Yeohwi’s voice sounded almost 598b4fcfb0 affectionate, saying he’d at 7bf58549f9 least consider the fact b5901d5360 that Imugi hadn’t immediately a956355c06 revealed his identity to 3f6530a9dc that person. Imugi, pretending to 5c059d9a89 be terrified, tried ba61588909 to hide in 6d797f05dc the darkness and e8b0674157 flee. With his small body, ed7bb2c73c it might be possible.2753bb893269117d

But of course, 27402b1937 it was only 43ab2855ed a futile attempt. The crimson energy 3c0792be61 rising from the ea1c7794ab ground tore Imugi 6776e74f3a apart. It pierced 93b3cf19f4 him randomly, 6d3fab028e playing with 9b2fc4c3cf him, cutting bacd1fb39e his tongue 07ef65eadf and waist. Unfortunately, his 2c41f6b790 body quickly 58dfeca90e regenerated.

Footsteps approached, 506cfb6105 and Yeohwi, 86671354cc who had 49e895aa0c been laughing 45b5237c18 while looking 65385552fe down at c397865241 Imugi, lifted 4d01c34462 his head. He wasn’t on 81c67391af guard. The footsteps were familiar.5a45ddaa2b29c580

Nine large white tails f3c7fd9018 swayed gracefully under the 39a73be6d4 moonlight. Despite Yeohwi’s reproach, 6a2cba0952 Ryeong said nothing a3b5a17a60 and merely glanced a46fdba642 at Imugi.45d19591888a136c

Yeohwi nodded, saying c4812e100e it was truly 0f78c55c05 fascinating, but Ryeong c5d65a11c5 didn’t react.

Ryeong slowly shook his a8e221c739 head. He explained 8f572131f7 that he bbb04b1edf had only 1f649a794f sensed the b3846ba635 overwhelming energy 095fd7352d of the c2a781c24b spell reading 1e3ef43503 the grudges e10a10e478 on the 0b319a5148 mountain and 15d52440f2 the murderous 5729b1150d intent that 78e547c3ab covered the 100b425d49 mountain afterward. Then, his consciousness 722409589f connected with Yeohwi’s, 65c2ff47e5 and he vaguely ea5e7b94b1 saw the past efa3c5eed0 mansion, witnessing Cheon 658cd7eb16 Ryubeom diving into b51ccb375d the crimson murderous 4022a8938c intent.
