Chapter 64 Darkness In Good

After Kim finished cooking a massive meal, he invited everyone for the dinner. He cooked a variety of foods from meat to vegetables to soups to rice to fish.

And, he made them in different ways. While others started eating, Kim took a large portion of the food and walked toward his master's house.

At this moment, he wasn't alone. Yeosho decided to accompany him. Although Tojo was still rejecting her idea, she insisted on meeting him once before leaving the town.

She used the internal energy from Tojo to bear the Spiritual Pressure. At the same time, she was using her own strength to bear it as well.

As they got closer, the pressure became huge. And, Tojo was so scared that he almost took back the internal energy.

"Tojo, he won't hurt us. So, don't be scared. I can only meet him with your internal energy. So, please! I must meet him." Yeosho begged Tojo as she gritted her teeth and bear all the impact of the spiritual pressure with Tojo's internal energy.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is he? Girl, you don't understand. It's not that I don't want to but I can't. Even humans are ruled by their instinct, not to mention beasts like us."

"My instincts are forcing me to stay away from him. Even if I want to, my body won't move." Tojo felt shameful. His eyes were burning red and there was madness in his tone.

For the first time in his life, he was tortured like this. Even his dignity as a Divine Beast had fallen.

But, Yeosho wasn't willing to go down that easily. She gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Tojo, I am really sorry but I must go and meet him. A year ago, I and Kim finally got together. But, after a few days, we faced a difficult situation. My parents died that day."

"And, Kim almost died. Whether it was luck or a coincidence or fate, we met him. He saved Kim and us. Therefore, I want to thank him one last time before leaving this town."

Not only Tojo but Kim was also able to hear her words. After all, she was speaking out loud. But, he didn't interfere. It wasn't just Yeosho who wanted to meet him.

Even Neyol and Hinata wanted to meet him. But, they couldn't do it. No matter how much they try, they couldn't meet him.

At first, they thought after they grow stronger, they would be able to meet him. But, as they grew stronger, they more him even more horrible.

And, as the Divine Beast whose strength is at the peak of this world, it was even less surprising that Tojo could feel more danger from him.

Kim clenched his fist. Now, he was even more motivated to get stronger and bear pressure from his master without flinching. Even now, he had to rely on his Battle Soul and unbeatable Will along with his Spiritual Pressure to stand in front of him.

One day, he wanted to stand in front of his master without releasing any kind of pressure or using his Battle Soul. Just with his strength.

That kind of strength he hoped to achieve.

On the other hand, Tojo was extremely confused. For the first time, he found a girl whose Will was so strong.

'No wonder she was able to awaken her Battle Soul so early. Damn it! I am the Legendary Nine Tails Fox, the Divine Beast. How could I lose to a little girl?'

Tojo's eyes turned red as he started to reject his own instinct. He forced himself to believe that the person with such Spiritual Pressure won't attack him.

He forced himself to continue. His internal energy once again bloomed and covered her body.

Yeosho once again gained the strength to move forward. As they walked forward, the pressure got stronger.

But this time, both Yeosho and Tojo gritted their teeth and reached in front of the house.

Kim opened the door with the massive container in his hand and walked inside.

His master was sitting in a lotus position as usual.

Tojo's eyes shrunk when he saw Tengu. Now, there was confusion instead of horror in his eyes.

"Why? Why don't you have any evil in your heart?"

Tojo's voice didn't ring in Yeosho's head but rather outside her body. Both Kim and Tengu heard it. Yeosho was surprised by this question.

She didn't understand it for a moment.

"Even this little girl whose mind is extremely pure has a little bit of evil. It was probably caused by the death of her parents. But, you have none of it. Such a powerful strength and you don't even have a little bit of evil in your heart."

"How? How can you be so good?"

The more Kim heard, the more he understood. He suddenly remembered the task that his master gave him.

Bring order to this world!

Because of the death of the people in this town, he thought it was a necessary action. But now hearing Tojo's words, he realized why his master gave such a necessary task to him.

After all, his master had no evil or malicious in his heart. That means his master can't bear to hurt or attack anyone.

But such a big change can't happen without revolution.

And revolution would always be followed by countless blood. It might be the blood of your opponent or your people.

It depends upon you.

He didn't want his people to die in this kind of revolution so he must get stronger like his master and fight them.

Unknown of his disciple's thoughts, Tengu smiled and said.

"Why must we be evil?"

Tojo who heard that sentence couldn't speak anymore. Yes, why must they be evil? Of course, it was impossible not to be evil. There would always be a little bit of darkness inside one's heart.

So, this sentence was naturally neglected by him. But right now, he couldn't refute it.

Because this was the truth. The man sitting in front of him had no evil in his heart. Finally, he decided not to speak.

Kim took out the food as Yeosho kneeled in front of him and spoke.

"Master Tengu, thank you for everything!"

Seeing the little girl like that, Tengu felt pain in his heart. This was the same thing that Kim did.

He didn't stop her though. It was true that their lives changed because of him. Even Yeosho became stronger because of him. And, more importantly, he protected them till now.

After all, the Asura Kingdom wouldn't stay silent for this long. It had tried to attack the town a long time ago but with his presence alone, he forced them to retreat.

Even the Asura King and Queen appeared but they couldn't force him.

Tengu was their guardian for a whole year. Even when she left, it was he who protected her until she went far away.

Thinking so, he suddenly turned his eyes to Kim and asked.

"Are you sure to leave tomorrow?"

Kim was surprised. He put down the small containers that contained meat and rice. He nodded his head and said.

"Although we don't have the advantage in number, we are still strong. Besides, as long as the whole army or king doesn't come to chase us, they won't be able to kill us."

Hearing his words, Tengu smiled and said.

"How can you say that word so easily? But anyway, today is the last day. From tomorrow, until you achieve your goal, I won't interfere in your life."

"Your strength has reached a high level but it is nowhere enough to face those people. So, be sure to gather more people around you."

"Alone, you can't break the army but with people around you, even the kingdom can be broken. But, I don't want to talk more about these things."

"Let's eat!"

Saying so, he touched Yeosho's head and said.

"You are my disciple's daughter. So, it is my duty to protect you. But, now, you have to protect yourself. Be confident! Even if you don't have talent, as long you work hard, you can achieve success in your life."

Yeosho slowly raised her head and nodded with a charming smile on her face.

Soon, Kim put down the meals and they started to eat. Three of them enjoyed the food that Kim cooked and after half an hour, Kim and Yeosho finally left.

As they leave, Tengu slowly closed his eyes and consciousness suddenly disappeared from his body. It appeared in a strange space.

There was a majestic throne above the clouds and there were several people next to the throne.

But, there was one surprising thing about these people. All of them had pairs of white wings behind their back and their skin was extremely pale.

When his consciousness appeared in that place, he appeared in his human form. As he walked, those people with wings started to fall to their knees.

Their bodies were shaking as they felt horrible pressure pushing them to their knees.

Tengu slowly reached toward the throne and sat down. Suddenly, his body changed a bit. There were two dark pairs of wings behind his back. When these pairs of wings appeared, the sky turned gloomy.

Tengu looked at the clouds and his eyes pierced through the clouds, reaching a big hall. A smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

"Evil always betrays Good. Light can never escape from Darkness. I became the darkness to change myself but now, I find myself lonely."

"Come on, my little disciple, grow up and bring excitement into my life."
