Chapter: 1243

“Lord...”

Marakim’s eyes, which had been looking through the gaps in his mask, were sad.

Since Chun Inji was the Lord he served, the words ‘Former Lord’ didn’t come to his lips.

Hu Bong, who was in the infirmary with him, didn’t blame him either.

“I think we should hurry up and head back to our place. Great Guardian.”

Marakim nodded at Hu Bong’s words.

The current condition of the Former Lord Chun Inji wasn’t very stable.

The damage to his energy was so great that he showed no signs of waking up even when Chun Yeowun and Marakim tried to infuse their internal energy.

All the members of the North Sea Ice Palace couldn’t figure out the cause.

Chun Yeowun could guess,

[... maybe it is the side effect of that worm in his head.]

Chun Yeowun used Nano’s assistance to bring out the worm from his brain and disintegrate it as it flowed out through his nostrils and mouth.

However, since it had been in his head for a long time, there was no way he could be fine.

[The Former Lord even suffered damage to his heart because of the side effects of the Blood Rever...]

It took several months for even the Former Lord Chun Yujong to wake up.

The exact cause was unknown, but since Chun Inji had been in the dark for a long time, no one could predict when he would wake up.

Chun Yeowun decided to hurry back to the Ten Thousand Mountains as soon as he absorbed the core and finished the work in the Ice Palace.

‘Lord... please wake up. A lot has changed while you were away. The cult was controlled by the six clans... the Blade God Six Martial clan, which you considered as a danger, is now afraid of the current Lord.’

It would be horrible if Chun Inji left the world without knowing all that.

“Lieutenant Hu. Please look after him.”

“Understood.”

It was the moment when he was about to leave the infirmary.

“Cough... cough!”

Marakim turned his head at the heavy cough.

Shockingly, Chun Inji, who had been lying on the bed, woke up.

“Lord!”

Marakim approached him right away and supported him so he could raise his upper body and cough.

His condition, with that haggard face and coughing, didn’t seem good.

“Cough... Great... Guardian...”

Marakim’s eyes trembled at the voice of Chun Inji, who called him after a long time.
