Chapter 172

Why is it not cutting?

Many thoughts crossed his mind, but in reality, it was just a brief moment.

Still, considering the speed of Dead Slayer, it should have been an instant. For some reason, the sword that was supposed to cut down the spirit was stuck.

The owner seemed lost.

In the silence where time seemed to have stopped

The laughter of a child could be suddenly heard and they came to their senses.

It was as if he finally realized the darkness in front of him was an illusion.

The joke has gone too far.

His face was stiff.

It seemed like he misunderstood it as Seol Young playing a prank. Since he was at a loss for words, Seol Young just held out the earrings. And in the dark, one of Zahas earrings glowed.

His expression changed once he figured out the thief.

Phew

After clearing up the misunderstanding, it seemed like he was finally ready to let go of the sword, so Seol Young reached for the goblin.

Even though the goblin was young, it wasnt like what it did was unintentional. It knew everything and thought that it was fun for him to die, and it almost got Seol Young killed.

So bye.

Seol Young destroyed it right there. The situation ended, and for some reason, he got chills once it ended.

It wasnt that he wasnt afraid of death. He thought he could get revenge by becoming a spirit.

Death meant death.

So maybe that was why his body trembled at the thought of what just happened.

He looked at Zaha.

Do not tremble. The misunderstanding has now been cleared.

I know.

Seol Youngs voice cracked.

But why didnt you cut me down?

Right.

Zaha shrugged his shoulders.

I thought you would.

He was speechless.

He said that he would kill anyone who would change, but when the same thing happened after Jeok Ryun-rangs soul transfer.

It was possible because it wasnt a real situation.

However, if it actually happened, he wouldnt go stiff. He himself seemed to have realized that now.

Its because the house is so big. There is a lot of space for the dead.

Seol Young spoke without much hesitation.

Its because a lot of people have to live in it, but it doesnt. So others try to fill this place, and if nothing is done

Right.

Zaha looked at Seol Young with a stiff face and turned around.

Then Seol Young asked him again,

Where are you going?

I am tired.

I brought drinks.

Im not in the mood today.

His tone was calm, but not his eyes. He had always thought he could cut down a Disfigured Spirit right away, and not being able to do it was such a shock to him.

And the target which he had to kill was.

Wasnt it Seol Young whom he was supposed to work with to take down the God of Cataclysm?

It was more shocking.

I didnt want to surprise him like this.

Seol Young frowned.

He said that no one knew why a persons soul became disfigured. But in the despair brought by the God of Cataclysm, he heard that it happened so frequently.

Seol Young never experienced it, so he couldnt be sure of anything, but werent they dangerous?

He summarized it in one word, and the couple smiled.

As we thought!

We had such a hard time finding it. My throat is dry.

We will get you something to drink.

The couple left, and Seol Young sat on the chair.

Zaha frowned.

You can leave.

I need to teach you sorcery.

Stop talking nonsense and head home.

I had a hard time finding it, and I dont want to walk. My throat hurts from talking too much, and I think I am getting a fever.

Seol Young picked up a fan on the table and smiled bitterly.

Come to think of it, Hwa Un-rang dropped his fan.

To get drunk before even drinking. It is a righteous weapon, and something that a hand shouldnt lose.

Really. When I apologized for what I did seven years ago, he was so surprised that he dropped his fan.

What?

Zaha asked with a doubtful face.

Did you apologize to Hwa Un-rang first?

Yes. I think it was too much to throw him into the pit.

Pit? You said the troops were lost and wandering around?

Ah, was that a secret?

Seol Young opened the fan and stood up.

Wait! Were you surprised? Twice? That is the 100-day ban.

And the couple came in right then and prepared several dishes with just one glass.

Seol Young wondered and asked.

I was planning to give back one of the two glasses. How did you know only to bring one?

Uh?

How did you know that the High Governor lost a bet and should not drink for another one hundred days?

.?

The couple seemed shocked.

You made such a bet You have been fooled again. Our master gave up drinking a long time ago.

Uh?

After returning to the capital, he said he would stop drinking, singing, or partying to cultivate, and he refused to speak more.

The couple smiled at Seol Young.

Seol Young-rang must be feeling thirsty, so we prepared the alcohol first. We will get the tea soon.

And they hurried out.

Seol Young sat down.

Like a fool.

Zaha spoke.

If you had thought about it, you would have realized. When I came back to the capital, I couldnt control the demonic qi. So what would have happened if I was drunk?

You didnt know that, and I tried to imitate your actions and pretended to be afraid of not drinking, and you believed it? How ridiculous you were for doing all that just to win. This is why I said you were in my palm. Just give up.

And then he smiled. It was the first time he smiled after seeing the vision of the Disfigured Spirit.

What? Save your Third-rang, wake the curse of the Devil Lair Lord, being careful of not getting you killed, but in the end werent they all just things you did to mislead me?

The fan was now in Zahas hand. And with an arrogant face, he said,

How perfect can I be? To be less perfect, I dont know how to do that!

Seol Young bit his lips. It was fortunate that he was expressing it shamelessly, but why was his stomach burning?

This

His anger was rising, so Seol Young took the bottle and gulped it down.
