The Second Coming of Gluttony - Chapter 251

Chapter 251

Chapter 251 . Eva’s Night (6)

“Kyaaaak!”

A mouthful of blood spurted out of La-ongmanee’s opened mouth . He fumbled around the ground in confusion and shock, trying to pick himself back up, but he could barely control his body .

Punches and kicks filled with mana had turned his insides into a mess .

Even at the Intermediate (High) level, Seol Jihu’s mana-infused attacks could cut Medusas, the pinnacle of mid-ranked Parasite species, in half . There was simply no way ordinary Earthlings could endure the attacks at a High (High) level .

“Y-You son of a bitch…!”

The crawling La-ongmanee barely managed to hold his head up . Seol Jihu stomped forward, and when La-ongmanee saw his foot rise up, he quickly shouted .

“You son of a bitch, do you know who I am!?”

The leg paused .

“Do you have any idea who I…?”

La-ongmanee paused in the middle of his speech, revealing a dazed expression . It was because the enemy suddenly crouched down and met his eyes .

When he saw the man’s frightening gaze and the ghastly aura emanating from it—

“… . ”

La-ongmanee’s breath froze .

“Who are you?”

Within the silence, a bleak voice flowed out . If looks could kill, this demon’s gaze would surely be it . Facing this dreary blaze of a gaze swerving through his brain, La-ongmanee’s angry expression instantly shattered .

Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead, drop by drop . His hair stood on ends . His pupils dilated, and his distinctively bloody lips opened in terror .

“Who are you?”

A chilling question rang out . La-ongmanee swallowed hard . As he was familiar with the act of murder, he was sensitive to death .

He would die . Regardless of whether he answered or not, he would die .

He would definitely die . Really, this man’s eyes could kill .

“N-No… I… . ”

“Tell me . ”

Seol Jihu reached out in a hurry and grabbed La-ongmanee by the collar .

“Who—”

As he stood up, La-ongmanee was dragged up as well . Shouting at the top of his lungs, the man raised his arm…

“Are you!?”

And struck La-ongmanee’s convulsing face .

KWANG!

The punch must have been incredibly hard as a small crater formed on the ground when La-ongmanee’s back crashed down .

It was truly a terrifying show of strength . Struck by this strength, La-ongmanee’s back bent like a shrimp .

It wasn’t until the leader suffered such a devastating loss that a few of the spectating organization members tried to interfere . However, they quickly turned silent as Phi Sora stepped up from the right and Chohong stepped up from the left .

The weapons they held both emanated clear qi .

“I-Is that Sword Qi?”

“Two High Rankers… then even if Sir Jirayu Matthew rushed over…”

They only murmured to themselves, not acting in the slightest .

As a result, Seol Jihu could express his rage to his heart’s content without being hindered by anyone else .

“I won’t let you die so easily . Mark my words . ”

He had already snapped before he left Carpe Diem’s building, but what La-ongmanee did only fueled his rage more .

Rummaging through his black belt, Seol Jihu took out a bottle . It was one of the alchemy potions he’d picked up in Arbor Muto’s hideout at Huge Stone Rocky Mountain .

What Seol Jihu took out was a bottle filled to the brim with bright orange liquid . Seol Jihu popped the cap open right away . Then, without saying a word, he splashed it all over La-ongmanee .

Crackle!

As soon as it touched his body, a blaze rose up fiercely . In an instant, the flames spread to every corner of his body and began to burn him alive .

La-ongmanee’s eyes shot open .

“KUAAAAAAAAK!”

He wiggled like a dying insect before suddenly transforming into a fish and flopping around .

But almost as if that had nothing to do with him, Seol Jihu held the Spear of Purity backward and smacked the screaming La-ongmanee with a hard thwack!

“Kuheuk—!”

It went without saying that this beating didn’t end with just this one smack .

Head, shoulder, knee, foot, other knee, other foot… Seol Jihu brandished the spear shaft without rest .

“Keuk! Kuk! Hukeuk! Kuhuak!”

La-ongmanee was really on the brink of going mad . With every strike, a bone would break, his flesh would be torn, and blood would burst out .

To make matters worse, the flames would immediately consume the wound, scorching it . This pain had far surpassed any human imagination .

“Kkrr, krrrrr!”

In the end, he didn’t last long and fainted, frothing at the mouth .

Only then did Seol Jihu stop his beating and pierced the spear into La-ongmanee’s stomach . Lifting him up like a skewered shrimp, he pushed him into a pond .

Tzzzzz! As the flames were extinguished, Seol Jihu pulled out the steaming La-ongmanee and threw him onto the ground . He wasn’t done yet .

“Maria!”

Seol Jihu shouted as he took out a healing potion .

“Heal him . ”

“…E-Excuse me?”

“I said, heal him . Just make him regain his consciousness . Do not let him die . ”

“… . ”

Without thinking, Maria took out her crucifix artifact . Her mouth twitched slightly as she had a puzzled expression, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak due to Seol Jihu’s frightening command .

She just did as she was told and chanted a spell .

Seol Jihu personally splashed the healing potion on La-ongmanee, and seeing the white light of the healing spell subside, he put his hand into his belt .

“Hua, huaaa!”

La-ongmanee opened his eyes with difficulty, coughing out a hoarse sound . His expression was completely different than before .

After suffering the previous torture, he understood . He would rather die than suffer the same pain a second time . And now that he had gone through it once, he learned what Seol Jihu meant when he said that he wouldn’t kill him so easily .

He narrowly raised his head and stared at the Sky Fairy . Then, he slammed his forehead down, tears streaming down from his eyes .

He seemed to be apologizing . But it was already too little, too late .

Seol Jihu snorted and threw the second ignition potion . Although La-ongmanee was drenched with water, he caught on fire with ease .

Seol Jihu beat him up with the spear shaft, threw him into the pond to extinguish the fire, then healed him once he was taken out .

While everyone watched on with dead silence, Seol Jihu repeated this process over and over again .

Only a splitting scream rang out in the surroundings .

And by the time his screams died down… Seol Jihu had already spent all six of his ignition potions .

As he was trying to pull out La-ongmanee from the pond, along with the sensation of cutting a rotten log, only his spear came out .

A human-shaped, burnt, well-beaten lump of meat was floating on the pond’s surface . The corpse was so gruesome that it was hard just to look at it .

With an exhausted look, Hugo pulled on Seol Jihu’s arm .

“Seol, Seol! Stop . He’s already dead!”

“You should stop . Are you trying to become a monster?”

Marcel Ghionea also cut in . Even the wailing Sky Fairy had stopped crying and was watching with an entranced look .

Seol Jihu shook Hugo off and breathed heavily . The crystal he had in his pocket shined at the perfect time .

Wiping the sweat soaking his forehead, Seol Jihu took out the communication crystal .

—It’s me . What happened?

Seol Jihu stared at Kim Hannah fixedly .

—…I can imagine .

Kim Hannah smiled bitterly and spoke .

—Eva’s guards will rush over there soon . I called them .

“What?”

—What, you thought you could pull off something of this sort and get away silently?

“… . ”

—If you’re going to get hit no matter what, it’s better to get it over with quickly . Anyway, when the guards come over, let them capture you . Don’t resist and make this more complicated . I already finished talking with Sorg Kühne . Also…

When Seol Jihu tried to hang up, Kim Hannah quickly continued .

—Leave about ten of them alive .

“…Didn’t you tell me to wipe them out?”

—It’s the royal administrator’s request . The Royal Family has to save their faces . They’re going to be held in prison before getting executed, so do Sorg Kühne a favor .

Seol Jihu hung up .

“What did she say?”

Phi Sora, who was keeping her eye out on one side, asked without taking her eyes off them . Even now, Royal Pattaya’s members could not move an inch .

They didn’t even attempt to escape .

It was quite ironic . Even a worm would squirm when one stepped on it . Although they knew that moving would only result in instant death, all they could do was watch as their leader died a miserable death .

As they had lived in a safe environment their entire time in Paradise, enjoying this game-like world, they had lost all fighting spirit after seeing Seol Jihu’s madness .

It was hard to even call them an enemy now . They were more like scarecrows, waiting to be slashed at .

Seol Jihu spoke quietly .

“Kill them all . Leave only ten alive . ”

Phi Sora whistled .

“Ladies and gentlemen of Royal Pattaya, you heard that?”

Phi Sora sheathed her longsword, walking forward as she clapped her hands .

“Your loss if you didn’t . Anyway, we’re going to kill you now . ”

Speaking in a pleasant tone, she cracked her neck left and right .

“You can resist or run . You’ll die anyway . But no begging for your life! And rambling on about some unavoidable circumstance is an even bigger no! Don’t think so badly of us . You didn’t think of the foreign race’s circumstances when you hunted them, right~? Let’s do this cleanly, okay?”

Phi Sora said all this very quickly .

“Now, if you really want to live, throw your weapons down and surrender . The first ten will get to live . Ready? Then st…”

Before she could even finish saying ‘start’, she blinked . Over half of the members had thrown down their weapons and kneeled . The remaining members were also hesitating . It was clear that they would surrender at any moment .

Chohong shook her head . She had been somewhat nervous knowing that they were going to attack one of Eva’s Middle-level organizations, but seeing this, they were all numbers and didn’t even match up to a top-grade team .

Not even Phi Sora expected this situation . She stealthily looked back at Seol Jihu .

“…What should we do?”

“Don’t make me say it twice . ”

Seol Jihu spat out coldly . Phi Sora shrugged and looked around the crowd . There was no easier prey than the ones that had lost their fighting spirit . Her eyes turned sharp before she pounced forward like a panther .

Immediately, a one-sided massacre took place .

Heads were cut off and smashed, and those who attempted to escape were shot down by lightning-fast crossbow bolts .

Screams rang throughout the area . The brief moment of silence had passed, and the Royal Pattaya building turned noisy once again .

Kill, kill, kill, kill…

Just as Seol Jihu was about to join the massacre, he looked back, feeling something pull on his shirt .

“…Flone?”

[Over there . ]

Flone pointed to the entrance of the building . Reflexively turning his gaze, Seol Jihu furrowed his brows .

A short figure that wasn’t there a moment ago was placed on the staircase .

[I brought him out . ]

“You did?”

[Un . I looked around the building just to be sure . I was about to come back after killing a guy who was calling for reinforcements, but then I saw a basement . That’s where I found him . ]

“By any chance…”

[No, he was the only one who was alive . Uuu… it was a really creepy place . ]

Flone shuddered, which was unlike herself .

[Anyway, a young male Sky Fairy . That’s him, right?]

Seol Jihu quickly understood what must have happened . Foreign races weren’t commodities even in Eva . It was unlikely that La-ongmanee killed his precious ‘toy’ so quickly . Meaning, the heads he brought out were Sky Fairies he had killed a long time ago .

His senseless provocation had only ended up hurting him more .

Seol Jihu quickly rushed over and brought the boy to the kneeling Sky Fairy . As expected…

“C… Child…!”

The Sky Fairy’s eyes widened as she tightly embraced the male child .

Seol Jihu smiled gently . This was the first smile that bloomed on his face ever since he came to Eva .

“I’m glad . ”

The moment Seol Jihu offered these words of encouragement, the Sky Fairy abruptly shuddered . She stared at Seol Jihu with a look of dread on her face .

But even that only lasted a moment . Carefully embracing the child, she lowered her head until it touched the ground .

“Thank you… thank you so much…”

Seol Jihu replied with a smile .

The screams were already subsiding . Though he might be imagining things, he felt like he could hear the guards’ footsteps .

Seol Jihu lowered his spear and tilted his head up .

The gloomy night had gone away, and the sun was peeking its head over the horizon and shining down on the city .

“… . ”

Eva’s long night was finally coming to a close .
