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.eb5b34c4d1188873

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.de7f9331ac342970

“This should do…”c9b14c8fff50a6aa

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.493e2eefde685720

“Now that we have the orb, let’s end this.”1a8d16d7d9cf40f0

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.25480c8892f4c187

As Ryubeom took a bf24dd4c5b deep breath and raised 53807c74a6 his sword high again, b6d632ac2b Imugi spoke. With a e6f2c1a050 strained breath fd420a2aa5 and a 54b99f856f hissing voice, c1c294190d he muttered.c64e47594e62ed22

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

Slash!a88e6e356cc54ec8

Cheon Ryubeom, without hesitation, brought his sword down decisively. Thud, Imugi’s head was completely severed and rolled down the hill.3c20519cee757479

“Phew…”a3b32adbc124a5e2

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…64cc77960aec5c77

Soon, bright 9421d0efaa sunlight poured d94adb1142 over the 447b44d4b5 mountain.a8363f4c3dadef1b

Under the d73da32e97 midday sunlight 72ba713e0d pouring down f9ae39b12b as if 7d4ea8ee0f the sky aef97c78f8 had opened 9bbb13834b up, Ryubeom 3823a2f041 blankly looked d869286572 back. Having grown accustomed to d777c3b54e the darkness, the sudden 985129991e bright light stung his 37671d415e eyes a bit. He turned and descended 096a9eeb24 the mountain.

The exhausted Ryubeom naturally 4f0d1598ca headed to Yeohwi first.28114ebff26a9f5e

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.3bdb2680c87a67aa

Yeohwi, who 4c54c51bb3 had been 4171df9a6d expressionless until 3fbf1f687a Ryubeom approached, 75e4a4de4d let out a9c8cf755b a scoff. It was Ryubeom who dd78614b88 came back tattered from 51fe95d0a3 the battle. Although the spiritual 8a8d65c411 pill had temporarily 6cfd029503 healed his wounds, 6e161a2dbf it was only 935bab6e90 for a short d1a62d1479 while. Moreover, his clothes were e0a13c16ab torn and covered in 93755fb32c blood. He was 7170b29494 practically soaked 89ed59b03e in blood.0be2198bd0edea5e

“You always tell me not to joke around, yet in situations like this, you’re the one joking?”e27a766bbf316cba

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.36ee0365efbdc40a

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.df8ec18c0a3a6510

Ryubeom rolled his 68c4d7203d eyes. He worried 5caa5d04de that Yeohwi fec7d79956 might get e98bbfa409 stressed if 4ff2e3f618 he kept fb1d7ab81d speaking in 3adf5830b7 an irritated b41eb75148 tone. The Yeohwi 1968ac79f3 he saw 7fc52c5076 in the 02c8de916f past was f01932619a very strong, 05ab96b517 but that 5fd3d77470 was in dfc590a58f his memory, 2491a0ad11 so the 7ed8bf9211 standards were 629678073a uncertain. Despite that, 0518073969 it was 4ec4304537 surprising and f7a7e98623 remarkable that b0a4fd6506 his murderous 4838daafc3 intent was b14f70c348 sharp enough ec005870fc to make b08374a39c Imugi hesitate. Now Cheon Ryubeom 4223ec7adb found it hard 81268828a3 to be sure d3adec299d that Yeohwi was d1aa9603ed weaker than him.e3c4986272ba9fe0

So Ryubeom’s concern for Yeohwi wasn’t because he still unconsciously saw him as someone to protect from their first meeting…d939f5bbf52ce1ae

“I promised, didn’t I? This time, I said I would make sure you wouldn’t get hurt.”baa201bd5780707d

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.b9d8a339adfb31f3

And because of that 948c4f28b4 promise, he went in f44ff7a325 to rescue Yeohwi trapped 429f2c186f in the curse. Even as e90e72bff3 he was cc038a6318 being strangled, 803ed9ef0f he repeatedly 77206ca60f held onto c121ef63c7 him and bdbce8da96 shouted to cc277a70b1 go outside.144aedca7d2f7b28

As if it 708dfc2b90 were the most ac73ca2db0 natural thing, Ryubeom eb5cc684eb extended his hand. He boldly handed 923ce57719 the orb to d221a342c3 Yeohwi, but seeing 6deae0ea52 his hand stained b40e8d9b2c with blood, he 65eed39924 quickly wiped it e732b90711 clean with his 29f08192c1 sleeve. He was 04aaec2e6e more concerned bd354eaf28 about cleaning 0b59f17f08 the orb fbbb26d643 than his 27030b5b5d own hand.d777d45891aaf316

Ryubeom then b7a261fd1a awkwardly cleared 2d0d5c8051 his throat d04f445285 and handed d1a0d48a0c the orb 73a906aa75 again.21f0fd745b785a21

Yeohwi asked quietly. It was 445f18cfab more of cdb2b21bb1 a sarcastic 932d1061f9 remark than 8e9ed455db a question. Cheon Ryubeom lowered his a48fa9636c gaze at those words, 3463385188 then looked up at a169e7e3d8 Yeohwi with a dejected 8923ff7cee face.cd6de62d3b5b5ee8

Yeohwi paused at the c06c4a3751 sight of Ryubeom’s amber 76773da125 eyes filled with caution. For a moment, confusion 0b1ed77d31 and absurdity flashed across cc3fc29ce5 his face, quickly hidden f047953bdc by a mask-like smile. But even f2ab2db807 that familiar 46d8874810 picturesque smile a984381244 trembled and eef78310bd collapsed, leaving 896fa18b3d him expressionless.

Ryubeom forcibly placed 293d1fbc2a the orb in 04636ce11e Yeohwi’s hand. With somewhat c17964c705 urgent movements, 79a9ff6687 he pressed 7daf1acc3d it into 641600bb8a Yeohwi’s hand 8497ec1ff6 as if 34ec47d0e1 completing his 03023e759e final mission, e8d9c29dcb ensuring it ba8fa135e4 wouldn’t fall. Fortunately, Yeohwi 8be4853ef2 didn’t discard c5aadfc51c it.5de2b587119edfd7

Seeing the cda7e5333e orb fully 08d4c01a4e in Yeohwi’s 50ea6d91fc hand, Ryubeom’s 939e3765d4 lips slowly 5d6a5402d4 curved into cd20c6a958 a smile. Although someone fab1516c87 else received bd48ca9729 the orb, 947788f034 he smiled fffe6b5c75 as if 09202c36c8 he had ab5be82023 received a 119ec16163 gift.cefdc71b41833074

Then Cheon 7bc1999be2 Ryubeom collapsed. His focus blurred, and 8b651bd52d his knees buckled, having 7ad1e00d74 reached his limit. The effect of the e1cc751c70 spiritual pill had long fad4ee4979 ended, but he had b4a8c85e7d been holding on. It had only been 3a4600b09f a few hours since f2e20dc145 he took the pill, 091ad58996 but after performing a f857daa2b2 large-scale exorcism and dealing 2134780c5e with Imugi, it was acb5b1a2b2 natural for the effect 02272b0bd6 to wear off.622508a7b311714a

Yeohwi caught the falling 9a9d2451aa Cheon Ryubeom. As the effect 6b47711022 of the pill 80cf269265 completely wore off, 4bd376ebfd wounds reappeared all dae04c3d88 over Ryubeom’s body. He was f3a8f1f229 too exhausted 9265513623 to even 6a11dcb2cf groan in b632a4b72f pain, his 5880770ddd body completely 8770d824b3 limp.7bd0150d99372730

Yeohwi instinctively held c89a95a7fa onto the collapsing aea0d43d49 Ryubeom. He quietly held his 685096617c breath at the weight ae2ae09cc1 and warmth leaning against 8683098871 him.76397a238005e1da

By evening, the 4ea067f35f villagers had all 21b45bebca escaped the hypnosis 6a5a5b958e and were holding a85766d1a6 a relief festival. It was 24d384daa8 astonishing that 46a3daf08d the Imugi 4871a98938 of Mansagul, b4d6054949 which they cc8e2b8ac4 had only a2c158a165 heard about 2509dc599d in ghost 7c29fc5b97 stories, actually 1edeff6043 existed, and 0bc568136d they had 0e2ce979c1 almost died a111425de8 en masse 32cdf097b6 under its 525a136578 spell but 77852b21d0 narrowly survived.

Moreover, the family had 132b6bb71b heard from Saerok that e79faf364d Cheon Ryubeom was a 468bfd58fb tiger Suin, and they f07a7962d2 greeted him excitedly.

Moonlight poured clearly through 0105617f73 the clouds.c10dc550553c2624

Avoiding the beautiful 45224dd75f moonlight illuminating parts aa3a1f5563 of the mountain, 36bd283b5e a small black 5360b40f14 snake slithered quickly 3991577e01 along the path.

Hope flickered 7072fad9bd in Imugi’s 7aaa9a4e78 eyes.7a79bceacf152e6f

[A new chance has come to me…!]

Imugi vividly remembered the dcb199a5b9 moment of his death. His neck had 155c53ff5b been cut by a00413d6ce that foolish tiger 4becf847a2 cub, and he 6b2dbbd14d lost consciousness. But somehow, he 371ca3bf80 could open his f92527c52c eyes again. Although his 2137f987dd body was 19868bd503 much smaller d25f6e260e than before, 6d733d7546 he had 85aba01e78 a new 5f13d0bc73 body. This was undoubtedly e65d68922d an opportunity.5ebdec7bbcfc54f3

He had survived the a79564d9d3 battle with Seoryeon in 4f48500980 the past, and now 92625aeb8a he had survived again. Maybe he was blessed afbb4f6e35 with immortality? Though he had 269c461935 lost the orb e8b1971413 and couldn’t use cb612693d5 any magic, resting 4e52a0e233 in a deep, b2a7165488 secluded cave would 13306357e9 gradually restore him.

[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…77c7a49063c62fa3

“But calling it paying 1faeb40a69 for your sins is a096702785 premature when I haven’t 2601d28999 punished you. I find it best 02542f9417 to administer punishment myself.”0f9b6317c2eee6eb
