Chapter 192
The Illusion Technique that the Rakshasa Demonic Woman and the Lustful Dream Young Master used on Yeo Un-hwi was a type of Soul-Stealing Art that looked into the opponent’s mind, a Secret Art that used the Inner Demon within to turn the target into their puppet.
Once he was made into a puppet, they could control him perfectly as they pleased.
It was possible to make them kill their loved ones or confess to non-existent crimes and commit suicide in front of everyone.
Of course, it was not as easy as it sounded.
It was impossible without sacrificing countless lives for that Secret Art.
That meant that many lives had been lost at the hands of the two villains without anyone knowing.
“It’s a success this time too.”
“Of course it is.”
The moment they decided to make Yeo Un-hwi their prey, the Rakshasa Demonic Woman and the Lustful Dream Young Master entered Yeo Un-hwi’s Inner World in an instant, almost simultaneously.
The surrounding scenery changed, and an endlessly hazy space unfolded.
Step, step.
They looked around the Inner World and soon began to walk slowly, following the dark red cluster of light that appeared.
The flow heading toward the center of the inner mind would guide their way.
In truth, just entering the Inner World was practically the same as succeeding.
Thus, they continued to walk with confident smiles on their faces, as they always did.
They would very slowly enjoy this time.
They could have arrived at the destination quickly and finished it at once, but that was not the method the two preferred.
They only felt satisfied when they systematically destroyed everything about their opponent and listened to the terrible screams their opponent’s soul let out.
In fact, it was safe to say they used the Soul-Stealing Art just for that moment.
Anyway, no matter how long it took, it was not a problem at all.
Because the time inside and the time outside flowed differently.
The Rakshasa Demonic Woman, who was walking leisurely, flicked her tongue and said.
“I’m telling you in advance that I will take this man.”
In truth, she liked the man named Yeo Un-hwi very much.
She had only caught a glimpse of him for a short moment, but he looked incredibly handsome and tall.
Furthermore, his heartless gaze was evident even when he looked at his enemies.
She enjoyed adding such fine men to her collection.
The finer the man, the more thrilling the pleasure that comes from breaking him down and making him crawl on the floor.
“Hmph. Suit yourself.”
The Lustful Dream Young Master, who already knew the Rakshasa Demonic Woman’s tastes better than anyone, snorted as if he knew she would say that.
He had no interest in men.
Especially men who were more handsome than him.
Unless it was tearing that face off alive.
“Anyway, it seems quite spacious here.”
Nothing could be seen in the pitch-black surroundings.
Usually, the Inner World was a place where the scenery quickly changed to match the target’s nature, even if it was vague when they first entered.
But this time, something was different.
The darkness surrounding the two grew thicker rather than fading.
Seeing the wind blowing, it seemed to them that they had definitely passed the boundary of the Inner World, but the sense of space with no end in sight made it impossible for even them, who had entered and exited countless Inner Worlds, to understand the situation.
It was their first time in such a vast Inner World.
However, the dark red cluster of light was still moving, so they continued walking while harboring their doubts.
How long had they walked?
Splash, splash.
“…Gasp!”
At some point, blood was flowing on the floor.
And before they could even take a few steps, that blood rose up to their knees.
That sight was just like a River of Blood.
Splash, splash.
The blood pulling at their legs felt terrible every time they walked.
The Rakshasa Demonic Woman and the Lustful Dream Young Master were also figures who had stained their hands with the blood of countless people and even enjoyed it.
But even for them, this sight was a first.
“What is going on? What is all this!”
“I-I’ve never seen anything like this either. Just what kind of things has this man been through?”
How could the scenery of a human’s inner mind be like this?
It was as if that place was hell itself.
To the point where one would wonder if this were what the inner mind of a great killer who had dyed Murim in blood would look like.
Judging purely by his outward appearance, he definitely gave off the impression of an unmistakably handsome scholar.
The unexpected situation left them feeling nothing but bewildered.
Now, it was reaching the point where they felt a chilling dread beyond mere discomfort.
If so, they should have stopped right then.
But they thought that even if something was strange, since they had started, they had to see it through to the end.
Their belief that it was already a battle won as long as their Illusion Technique worked, regardless of what the opponent’s true identity was, remained unchanged.
Thus, they walked and walked like that.
However, their leisurely steps had become quite urgent at some point.
And finally, they arrived at the place following the direction guided by the streak of light.
What was waiting for them there was,
“…A wall? What is this? A dead end?”
Nothing could be seen in the pitch-black surroundings, and only a massive wall was blocking them.
It was a strange thing.
What should have been here was definitely the target of the Illusion Technique.
But he was nowhere to be seen, and a wall appeared out of nowhere.
This was also a first for them, so they were just bewildered.
Something was definitely wrong.
“…I have a bad feeling. Let’s get out of here for now.”
The Lustful Dream Young Master nodded at the words of the Rakshasa Demonic Woman, who had finally snapped back to her senses.
But,
“I, I can’t get out!”
Following the Rakshasa Demonic Woman, the Lustful Dream Young Master’s face hardened like stone.
As if the exit door had been closed, they could not leave that place.
They had definitely thought they entered with their own power.
That meant.
“C-Could it be…”
It was then.
Grrrrr.
A low growl from something massive could be heard from somewhere.
Just hearing that sound sent chills down their spines.
A massive fear that made all the hairs on their bodies stand up spread between them.
Once again, the sound of something creepy was heard.
At that sound, the Rakshasa Demonic Woman’s and the Lustful Dream Young Master’s heads turned upward as if they had made a promise.
And there,
“Gaaaasp!”
In an instant, their eyes widened as if they would tear open.
In the deep darkness, two massive golden eyes were looking down at them.
What they had thought was a wall was actually not a wall.
It was a massive Dragon.
Astonishment soon became terror.
And when that terror reached its peak, they could not even scream and froze like stone right there.
Their entire bodies trembled violently, but it was hard to even let out a proper breath.
Rooooaaaar!
Soon, what was reflected in their eyes was the sight of the massive Dragon’s maw opening wide and lunging toward them.
“Gaaaah! Urgh! Gurgle!”
“…Gaaaah!”
Unlike the time inside the Illusion Technique, the time in reality was but a fleeting moment.
In that fleeting moment, the Rakshasa Demonic Woman and the Lustful Dream Young Master, who had stepped forward confidently, suddenly rolled their eyes back, foamed at the mouth, and fell backward just like that.
Naturally, everyone present could not understand that sight.
The White Wolf Unit was the same.
Among them, only Yeo Un-hwi was smiling quietly.
Yeo Un-hwi already knew the Illusion Technique and methods those two used better than anyone.
Because he had already faced them before his regression.
Even then, he was able to defeat the Rakshasa Demonic Woman and the Lustful Dream Young Master thanks to the Heavenly Martial Divine Art he had learned.
Of course, he struggled a bit more than he does now.
Anyway, it was a fortunate thing for Yeo Un-hwi that they had used the Illusion Technique specifically targeting him without touching the other White Wolf squad members.
If that hadn’t been the case, Yeo Un-hwi might have inevitably had to make the first move.
Now that it turned out like this, it was rather funny.
Wasn’t it like walking into a Dragon’s maw without even knowing it was a place to die?
If they had faced the other Twelve Venerables instead, even if the Illusion Technique hadn’t worked due to the difference in realms, they wouldn’t have met an end where their souls were chewed up and eaten.
It was something that happened because the Heavenly Martial Divine Art possessed the power to extinguish all wicked things.
It could not be anything but a very unfortunate event for them.
Meanwhile,
“Gaaaah!”
“How could I, in a place like this… Urgh.”
“N-Nooo! Gaaaah!”
The White Wolf Unit was sweeping away everyone in sight, including the Black-faced Asura, the big shots present, and even the Warriors of the Evil Love Palace.
It was an astonishing thing.
The power the White Wolf Unit possessed was far greater than they had imagined.
To the point where even they themselves were surprised.
As if to prove that skill, enemies they wouldn’t have even dared to face in the past were falling helplessly to their swords.
It was rewarding.
The days they had trained every single day under Yeo Un-hwi, hovering between life and death, had not been in vain.
Thus, the White Wolf Unit’s hearts swelled with emotion even as they cut down their enemies.
At the sight of such a White Wolf Unit, the eyes of Palace Lord Gong Cheol-san of Four Linked Palace were shaking as if an earthquake had struck.
“…Just what is this situation.”
The Evil Love Palace, which was his everything then, was being laid to waste.
He was someone who lived as a king at least in this place.
He considered that no one could stand against him here.
He had poured in that much money to bring in as many masters as possible, and he had also increased the palace disciples of the Evil Love Palace as much as he could.
Thus, he was confident he could fend them off even if the Murim Alliance invaded this place.
But that pride of his was being ruthlessly shattered at this very moment.
He definitely thought at first that some crazy bastards had come looking to die.
But that was a very wrong thought.
They were destroying everything of his like a storm.
“Just what is your true identity? Were you sent by the Demonic Alliance?”
Gong Cheol-san, filled with spite, ground his teeth and shouted.
At that, Yeo Un-hwi let out a chuckle.
“The Demonic Alliance? Unlikely.”
“Then who the hell are you? Why are you doing this…?”
“Well, it shouldn’t matter if I tell you now. We are the White Wolf Unit.”
“The White Wolf Unit? Of the Peng Family?”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“Hah…”
An unexpected name popped out.
The White Wolf Unit.
Gong Cheol-san had also heard of them, who had made a name for themselves by defeating the Extreme Evil Laughing Demon, one of the Absolute Great Evils.
But even so, it was surprising to think they were this strong.
It was known that they had ambushed and defeated the Extreme Evil Laughing Demon while he was being treated for an injury inflicted by someone else.
Seeing them now, I realize that was a completely false rumor.
They were strong, those bastards. Very much so.
But he still couldn’t understand why they had invaded the Evil Love Palace.
He had never formed any grudge with the Peng Family, so why on earth!
However, he had no way of knowing what happened at the Cheonghyang Inn, and since everyone who had been there had already lost their lives, there was no one to resolve Gong Cheol-san’s doubts.
Anyway, for now, the tide of battle is already leaning toward them.
With all the villains already defeated here, it was all too obvious that he could not face them alone.
If so…
‘I’ll have to use that.’
Gong Cheol-san thought of one last move.
He began to move, his eyes gleaming coldly.
