Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Battle Field (1)

Cho Sang-jin freaked out at Kang-jun’s words .

‘Wahh! It really is him . ’

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-jin’s legs trembled and he could barely stand as he thought about the incident with Kang-jun a few days ago .

It wasn’t 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 didn’t want to suffer that gruesome fantasy again! No, maybe it wouldn’t be a fantasy but reality this time .

“Ohh!’

Cho Sang-jin’s eyes shook like a madman as he stared at Kang-jun . Then he immediately gave a 90 degrees bow to Kang-jun and shouted .

“H-Hyung-nim! I deserve to die for my sins . A hyung I knew asked me to fill in the numbers for some pocket money . ”

“……”

“R-really . I didn’t know Hyung-nim was involved . Please forgive me . ”

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 .

“You should live life nicer . Don’t enter groups to intimidate people . ”

“Yes, Hyung-nim . I will live a nicer life . ”

“Stop now that you know . ”

“Yes, Hyung-nim . I will really live a nicer life . ”

Cho Sang-jin obediently followed Kang-jun’s words . He immediately sat down like he didn’t 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 didn’t hesitate to absorb the energy every time he encountered bad guys .

This was how he gained the black magic energy . He wouldn’t use it against anyone good .

A person wouldn’t be able to change themselves so easily . Despite receiving the punishment field, Cho Sang-jin wasn’t someone who could become good overnight .

Kang-jun no longer had any interest in Cho Sang-jin . In addition, he didn’t want to fight with Lee Bong-cheol’s group . Usually Kang-jun would be afraid of them, but now they were just nuisances flying around .

‘I need to start selling quickly . I need to make 1 . 5 million won today . ’

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-jin’s gang, Hwang Seong-gil grabbed him by the shoulders .

“Cho Sang-jin! Are you crazy?”

“Seong-gil hyung-nim, I will fall . Hyung-nim should also be careful . ”

“What are you on about?”

“I’m sorry . I can only do this much . ”

Cho Sang-jin got to his feet and quickly staggered away . An awkward gait like a man who was in a hurry . He didn’t look back as he disappeared .

‘Is that guy really crazy?’

He couldn’t understand Cho Sang-jin’s 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 .

“W-why am I so dizzy?”

“Euh! My leg cramped all of a sudden…”

Flames burned in Hwang Seong-gil’s eyes as he stared at Lee Bong-cheol and his men collapsed on the ground .

“You bastard! What did you do to them?”

“There was only a small number of you . It is nice . I’m glad that you resisted . ”

“Resisted?”

“But something really scary is going to happen to you now . ”

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 .

‘Yes! Open the battle field . ’

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-cheol’s original request, he would have finished the work and gone back by now . The situation had become strange .

‘Where is this place?’

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-gil’s body trembled with foreboding .

“You bastard! What are you doing? Where is this place?”

“This place . It is the place where you are going to die . ”

This was the first time Kang-jun had used the battle field .

The time limit was five minutes . If he didn’t win then it would be a defeat . And then Kang-jun’s 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 didn’t know about the creatures from Hwanmong . Summoning the ratians would only consume one black magic energy, while Hayun would consume five . But now wasn’t the time to save his black magic energy . He needed an unconditional victory .

‘Summon all!’

The ratians appeared right in front of Kang-jun .

“Kekekeke!”

“Kikikik!”

The ratian infantry were armed with clubs while the archer had a bow .

It wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 Hayun’s enemy .

“I won’t forgive you!”

Hayun’s hair became wild and her clothes changed colour . Her eyes subsequently turned red .

“Heok!”

Hwang Seong-gil flinched back with shock .

Syuok – bam!

Meanwhile, something flew out of nowhere and embedded into his thigh . The pain of something sharp digging into his flesh?

‘Ugh! A-arrow?’

Hwang Seong-gil wasn’t 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?

“Ohh!”

Hwang Seong-gil couldn’t even resist and started to flee .
