For Muyoung to kill Rahora?
Muyoung thought it was odd for a moment .
Wasn’t the woman in front of him Rahora?
For her to not be Rahora, when her presence itself was overwhelming compared to other nine-tailed foxes… . .
“You are not Rahora?”
So, he couldn’t help but ask .
Rahora didn’t deny or accept it .
“I’m Rahora but I’m also not her . ”
“I’m not sure what you are saying . ”
It didn’t seem like a joke .
However, even if she was serious, he was still unable to understand it .
“Inside my body, there is another Rahora . She has a very destructive desire . She is my alter ego who was formed in Hell Path after an eternity of time . No, perhaps I might be the alter ego . ”
Muyoung was able to feel sadness in Rahora’s words .
Now, he understood her a bit .
It was like a split personality .
But, she wanted him to erase one of the two personalities .
“All the owners of the towers became stagnant after Hell Path was created . Including myself, to protect their souls, they needed to create separate selves . ”
“Are you saying it is possible to separate with the power of corruption again?”
Corruption was the power to make people fall . However, dividing it was a different story .
He could make something good into evil so that the evil wasn’t usable but he was unsure if he could divide the good and the evil .
“You should be able to fully remove her with the power of corruption . Without your strength, my darkness would try to live on and torment everything . ”
She wasn’t asking me to separate her .
Resolute determination .
She was planning to die while she killed her other self .
“There has been no king in Hell Path for a very long time . The owners of the towers could do nothing but just survive til now . They knew that the moment they were to fall, their people’s souls would be eaten up . ”
“You are helping me become king so you can rest . ”
Muyoung chided her .
Because she had lived for a very long time, she wanted to rest .
However, Rahora was worried about the foxes .
As the moment her absence is announced, all foxes would just become prey .
In a way, she had a strong sense of responsibility, but she was so foolish .
He couldn’t understand her .
He understood you could get tired of living a long time but… for her to lose the will to live to the point of seeking death .
‘She has no goal . ’
Rahora had no purpose . This situation arose because she didn’t even have a direction to achieve her goal .
She was the very opposite of Muyoung .
Perhaps Hell Path was a place where souls that lost their enemies stayed .
“I’m exhausted . If I stay like this, I will be consumed by my darkness . ”
“Okay . I’ll remove it . ”
It wasn’t difficult .
Why would it be difficult to deal with a soul that was already exhausted?
Then, Rahora spoke with seriousness .
“When the night comes, my darkness will appear . If you have the strength to defeat Arangga, you will easily be able to defeat my darkness . For the rest, my five daughters will lead the way . ”
It seemed she was referring to the five nine-tailed foxes .
In fact, the nine-tailed foxes were looking at them restless from the entrance of the room .
“Do you understand? You must accept the result . ”
Rahora asked the nine-tailed foxes .
The nine-tailed foxes nodded slowly .
“…we will accept the result . ”
It meant that they were going to look after her responsibilities for her .
Then, the task became much clearer .
Muyoung went towards the corner .
And sat down and closed his eyes .
“Don’t you need time alone to prepare?”
“A sword is enough . ”
Muyoung was just planning to wait .
For the moment when Rahora became immersed in darkness .
Until then, he was going to contemplate himself while waiting for that moment .
Rahora’s presence . Her strength was definitely comparable to Muyoung’s . However, Muyoung didn’t just have the power of death and corruption .
Didn’t the existence of darkness already reside inside him?
‘I need you to lend me your strength, Luciferre . ’
Although he said ‘lend’, it was more like ‘take’, as
Luciferre was still uncooperative .
However, if Muyoung was to take that strength, he would be able to take 30% .
But to fight against Rahora, 30% was enough .
A short but profound silence ensued .
Rahora had her eyes closed as she sat on her throne, and Muyoung was sitting on the floor with his eyes closed on the other side of the room .
In the meantime, the nine-tail foxes were restless .
‘ that man really be able to win?’
‘If he wins… we need to serve him . ’
‘However, Rahora is a great being . She won’t be easily defeated . ’
They were already expecting Muyoung’s defeat .
They acknowledged Muyoung’s skills because he had won against Arangga, but Arangga was still just a nine-tailed fox . She was still much weaker than the ten-tailed Rahora .
Although there was only a one tail difference between the two, the gap in power was like heaven and earth .
More importantly, they served had Rahora for a very long time . Of course, they weren’t happy that a new owner appeared .
Brrrrr!
Even in Hell Path, night fell .
As the sky was filled with darkness, Rahora’s body started to tremble a bit .
First, her tails became black .
Although Rahora tried her best to stay in control, it was futile .
When the trembling had become extreme, Rahora opened her eyes .
Rahora, who now had ten black tails, frowned right away .
“Stupid bitch . How dare you try to play me?”
Her gaze then moved to the nine-tailed foxes .
The nine-tailed foxes’ bodies shivered .
It was a primitive fear . That being had existed in Rahora .
Then, she looked at Muyoung .
Muyoung was still lost in his thought .
He didn’t move as he kept his eyes closed .
Rahora raised her hand .
Then, ten beads appeared around her .
Swooosh!
Craaaank! Craaaash!
The ten fox beads filled with enormous power attacked Muyoung .
One side of the wall collapsed as the fox beads rotated a few million times per second and ground everything into dust .
The fox beads were similar to a container filled with a fox’s strength .
As it was an item filled with Rahora’s power itself, even if he was the new king of Asura Path, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it .
“Did you think I would be defeated by someone like that? Just because he had defeated Arangga… she really is a stupid ass bitch . ”
The power of corruption was certainly threatening .
In fact, the current Rahora was the one who sent Arangga .
Although she hadn’t thought that Muyoung would absorb Arangga’s power, as she had now attacked him straight on, he would not be able to survive it .
She was certain of her victory .
After that, the trace of Muyoung had completely disappeared .
“I had a bit of expectation because he was the new king of Asura Path . You guys will also be severely punished for agreeing with this plan . ”
The nine-tailed foxes became very frightened as they took a step back .
“Should I cut off your tails and destroy your beads? Wouldn’t it be quite fun for you to be humiliated for eternity by becoming a normal fox?”
Their tails and fox beads were the foundation of their strength . Without them, they were no different than ordinary foxes .
Thud!
However, Rahora was unable to make what she said into reality .
Within the rough sand wind, the shadow of a person appeared .
“You were directly hit by the fox beads but… how?”
Rahora spoke as if she couldn’t believe it .
The person who appeared was, of course, Muyoung .
However, his appearance was a bit different from before .
Large horn, dyed in black . Grey wings .
Swoosh!
In an instant,Muyoung disappeared and appeared in front of Rahora .
Clang!
The sword bounced once .
The fox beads automatically protected Rahora .
But the fox beads were partly damaged .
This also wasn’t possible .
Fox beads were items that couldn’t be easily damaged by just any attack . What was more, as they were Rahora’s beads, it was understandable for them to easily nullify all attacks .
“You baaastard!”
Grrrrraaaakkk!
Rahora was enraged .
She changed her appearance as she unraveled herself instantly .
The top floor of the tower collapsed, and soon, Rahora’s huge body appeared .
In that moment, their location changed .
A reality marble .
It was a space-like area, all black, with only numerous meteorites wandering in the surrounding .
In a flash, the meteorites rushed towards Muyoung .
Kirrrrikk!
Kiiiiirrrrrrrriiiikkk!
A large darkness opened up behind Muyoung, and an uncountable number of bats popped out from the darkness .
Whenever the bats collided with the meteorites, a small explosion occurred . As countless bats were sent against the meteorites, the meteorites became dust one by one .
This was a technique that gave form to Luciferre’s strength .
Heeyaaah!
A circle was drawn near Rahora’s body .
The ten-layered barrier fully contained the fox beads’ strength .
The strong barrier was also a weapon . In that condition, she rushed towards Muyoung .
She was going to crush him to death .
Muyoung raised Anguish .
The power of corruption that was engraved in Anguish would be able to fight against that barrier .
Also…
‘Everything has grains . ’
At this moment, Muyoung’s eyes could see numerous grains .
Was it because he forcefully took Luciferre’s strength?
Even a strong barrier would still have grains .
‘I have no plans to waste a long time on the owner of a tower . ’
He raised Anguish .
If she wanted to face him head-on, he would gladly accept it .
Rahora was no more than a stepping stone in the process of conquering Hell Path .
Muyoung was planning to make all 44 towers and their masters submit .
He was too busy to spend a long time on each one .
* * *
Tacan acted as soon as Muyoung entered Hell Path .
Tacan’s goal was to assassinate the legitimate child of the Reign Clan, Reign Gun .
He quietly hid and waiting for an opportunity .
An opportunity came faster than he expected .
As he had received assassination lessons from Muyoung, he could have easily taken this opportunity .
However, Tacan was more careful . He waited, and waited to find a better opportunity .
Then, when about 15 days had passed…
He was able to assassinate Reign Gun before a new day started .
“Reign Gun was assassinated!”
“Who did it? Who in the world could do this in the Reign Clan?!”
This truth spread far and wide .
The Reign Clan sent out all their soldiers to find the culprit .
They even had strict orders to kill all those who were related to the culprit .
The Noble Castle was overwhelmed with tension .
However, the tension didn’t last long .
Craaassh!
The ground shook, as if an earthquake had occurred .
Then, a large tower appeared in the middle of the Reign Castle .
“Wha- what is that?”
“A tower?”
“It’s so ominous…”
But, there was nothing inside the tower .
However, some sort of ghastliness shrouded the entire tower .
Everyone put their heads together to figure out the tower’s identity, but nothing was found .
That wasn’t all .
As time passed, the number of towers increased .
Everyone had questions about the unknown towers that appeared in the Noble Castle .
The Great City and the Holy City Mulalan had even sent men to find out about the towers .
However, the Reign Clan didn’t accept them .
They closed the Noble Castle and sought to identify the culprit who killed Reign Gun while trying to investigate the towers on their own .
Everyone knew that they were doing this to keep any profit they discovered .
Everything was in chaos .
However, even within that chaos, nothing was solved .
Only Tacan knew the identity of those towers .
‘He is an amazing guy, to even suppress Hell Path . ’
Tacan knew that once all 44 towers appeared, many things would change .
