Chapter 7 (2/2)
If they aren’t able to get out of the trials by then, then the topography of the forest will change
If that happens, it will be much harder to return to the temple
“Then… let’s see each other on the other side”
Muyoung was the first to open the door
The inside of the room was pitch black like a black hole
Slam!
As soon as he stepped into the room, the door slammed shut behind him
<you have=”” entered=”” the=”” ‘roouish’=””>
He looked around his surroundings
An endlessly desolate desert
There was absolutely nothing in this place
‘My bag and ical items disappeared’
On top of that, his food and water were gone as well
Thin clothes and a scimitar were all he had
It seemed like the items unnecessary for the trial were removed
‘If I keep walking, I guess so will pop up’
Didn’t the na path’?
There was no way that as soon as he stepped into the room, he would see his objective
He pushed through the rough sand and walked forward
How long had he been walking?
It felt like it had been at least a day
If it was hi continuously without rest for a week However, in his current state, he was slowly approaching his limit
The lack of food and water was the problem
It was incredibly taxing to ithout rest towards an unknown destination
If it was any normal person, they would have already exhausted their mind and body
However, Muyoung wasn’t normal
‘I can still endure a bit longer’
He dragged his feet
After walking like that for a few hours, he came across an oasis
‘Poison’
But the water in the oasis gave off a purple hue
He sniffed the water and dipped his tongue in the water
Spit!
He spat out the water immediately and turned his body away
Poison was mixed in
It wasn’t a strong poison, but if he was to drink it, it would only momentarily relieve his thirst
It wasn’t wise to try to distill the water without the proper tools either
The fourth day
The next thing to appear was a rabbit
He tried to hunt down the rabbit, but the rabbit was always slightly faster than him
So close, yet so far
The distance between the touldn’t shrink no matter what he tried
‘So it’s like this’
After walking for four days, a man who has lost all sense of reason will do whatever it takes to catch the rabbit
But Muyoung realized that it was a trick
He gave up on the rabbit and forced his feet to move
He walked a few more hours like that
Thump!
Even the great Muyoung had eventually collapsed on floor
‘I can’t fall here’
The mind controls the body
Muyoung was successful in getting his body back up with extreme concentration
Co, his pace was very slow, but he didn’t give up and continued to walk
To y, his body started to burn away his muscles
This was the most optimal choice his body could make in this situation where there wasn’t even water to drink
Not long after, his body was only skin and bones and his hair started falling out quite quickly
It was because he was Muyoung, he was able to stay alive in that state and continue walking
For 40 years, there was not a single moment when he lived his own life
He wanted to live his own life
A life of sonificance
However, that was impossible
But then, he was given a chance
There was no way he was going to waste this chance as soon as he got it
Even though there were tens, even hundreds of tiiven up, he didn’t
Along the way, food and water did appear, but since he knew that the trial was si him, he didn’t even bother to look at them
As his stamina and mentality reached their limits, someone blocked his path
“Why did you destroy the Forest of Death? Didn’t we have a good relationshi+p the past 40 years?”
Was it a e?
The man in front of him was the owner of the Forest of Death, the chief
Muyoung waved his hands, however the chief didn’t disappear
“It… wasn’t… my life”
“Didn’t you kill all your companions that have been with you for years? The ones who you laughed and played with!”
“We… never… laughed”
Muyoung took out the scimitar from his chest
“Just wait This time, I will certainly erase you”
Once he returns to the Underworld, his first target will be the Forest of Death
It would be difficult to do this right away, but he will strengthen himself and annihilate them as fast as possible
Splash!+
As he slashed out with his scimitar, the chief’s blood sprayed out
Gulp!
Muyoung drank the blood dripping off the chief
He bit into the chief’s flesh
And then, approximately 300 members of the Forest of Death appeared
Specters
Their eyes were blank
It looked as if they were asking why he killed them and to take responsibility for their deaths
However, Muyoung looked at the sight and laughed brightly
“I don’t regret my decision”
He used the last of his strength and performed a deadly sword dance
