Chapter 157 - The Temptation of Destruction (2) (1/2)
“......!”
When he woke up in his bedroom, he was lying alone in bed and Hayun’s seat was empty.
That’s right, this was the real reality.
It was reality, not the virtual s.p.a.ce created by Karosio.
Of course, Hayun wouldn’t be here.
Kang-jun got out of bed with a sigh.
'That was an unexpected surprise.’
It had been possible to create a virtual s.p.a.ce in the gap between reality and Hwanmong.
Furthermore, with such an enormous temptation!
The demonic G.o.d called the G.o.ddess of Destruction...
‘No matter how strong you are, your mind will collapse in an instant.’
These had been the last words Shadowless said to him.
However, Kang-jun had remained alert.
His mental state was very good, but he hadn’t been able to do anything against the terrible power of the G.o.ddess of Destruction.
Luckily, thanks to Shaoniel’s tears, he had been able to escape from the crisis.
The probability was high that Karosio’s temptation wouldn’t end with just this one time.
Could he endure it if the temptation came again and again?
Even then, the tears of truth needed to be activated in order for him to bear the temptation.
There was a chance that the power of the tears of truth wouldn’t trigger at all.
He needed to be lucky. Regardless of how good Kang-jun’s luck was, he couldn’t expect such a thing every time.
‘Measures are necessary.’
Otherwise, he would become Karosio’s slave.
'Should I have something to eat?’
Kang-jun went out to the living room.
There was no one there.
Despite all the fancy furniture, the house seemed empty without Hayun.
“Lord!”
Then the door opened and Han Yeon-soo entered with a large smile.
“You woke up, Lord.”
“What are you doing so early in the morning?”
Kang-jun cried out in amazement and Han Yeon-soo lifted the bags held in both hands.
”As you can see, these are cooking ingredients. Hayun wouldn’t like Lord eating from the s.p.a.ce.
The bags were filled with a large variety of ingredients such as vegetables and meat.
Kang-jun laughed.
“Thank you. You should also eat something.”
After consuming a lot of power to fend off Karosio in the virtual s.p.a.ce, Kang-jun was starving.
Originally, he had planned to take out Hayun’s bean sprouts soup. However, Han Yeon-soo had prepared ingredients, so he couldn’t do that.
Others might fear the dark dragon, Cordin, but she was kind and gentle to Kang-jun.
Kiradak was now defending Earth, so the amount of work she had to do had decreased.
”By the way, I left Kim Hye-na in charge of the buildings that Hayun were managing.”
After Han Yeon-soo joined his household, she had taken the position as Kang-jun’s secretary while Kim Hye-na, the original secretary, had been dismissed.
Kim Hye-na’s abilities weren’t bad, so Han Yeon-soo hired her as a member of the Black Dragon Law Firm.
”Well done. You don’t need to bother reporting things like this.”
”Yes, Lord.”
Kang-jun was comfortable since he knew she could handle it.
After a while, Kang-jun finished the meal with Han Yeon-soo and moved to Kiradak’s wars.h.i.+p.
In the meantime, there had been no special invaders aiming for Earth.
After encouraging Kiradak, he headed to Valles Planet that was millions of light years away.
He also looked at all the planets formerly colonized by Kiradak.
Nothing special happened, so he was only exposed to a light breeze.
Of course, his head was constantly trying to think of ways to overcome Karosio’s temptation.
He thought that something would inspire him if he walked around, rather than sitting in a corner.
However, he couldn’t come up with any specific countermeasures.
He tried to study the flow of destruction through meditation, but there weren’t many results.
He returned to Earth in frustration, then went fis.h.i.+ng on the beaches of the South Pacific and watched the satellites...o...b..ting Earth.
Of course, those were just his outward actions as his head was still deep in meditation.
‘The virtual s.p.a.ce itself is a problem because there is no room for chaotic intervention, so we can’t use all our abilities. In the end, I just need to hope that the tears of truth are effective.’
His willpower didn’t work against the G.o.ddess of Destruction.
So, this mental battle was hundreds of times tougher than fighting with a sword.
Just like that, three days pa.s.sed instantly.
It was finally time to go to Hwanmong.
However, it was clear that the G.o.ddess of Destruction would strike.
There was no guarantee that this was true, but Kang-jun prepared his mind.
As Kang-jun closed his eyes, the s.p.a.ce surrounding him disappeared.
“......!”
When he opened his eyes, loud club music was playing.
'What is this?'
This wasn’t Hwanmong.
There was loud music, strong lights and beautiful women dancing. The women were equally enchanting.
However, among them, there was one woman so enchanting that he couldn’t keep his eyes off her.
She was Karosio.
Under the sparkling lights and music, her fatal attractiveness shone even more.
‘d.a.m.n! She is acting again so soon.’
However, despite his grumbling, Kang-jun’s eyes were fixed on Karosio.
The dancers around her weren’t fascinating, yet her hand gestures, expressions and gaze seemed to captivate Kang-jun.
Should he just call it quits and live as Karosio’s slave?
It was a terrifying temptation that took over his will.
In the meantime, Karosio was moving closer to Kang-jun. She was wearing a provocative attire and was almost half-naked. It was more stimulating than complete nudity.
”Today, I will make you mine.”
”Shut up.”
Kang-jun tried to step back. However, it was just a thought as his body was kissing her without realizing it.
He had gotten excited after watching Karosio dance.
It had been more provocative than any stimulating foreplay.
Karosio was also in a heightened state of excitement.
