Chapter: 343
The voice of bearded man. It was same as the voice of telepathic message that threatened Yeowun at the restaurant. The man then suddenly got scared at Yeowun remembering him, and reached out with his hand that wielded energy.
“Your time is done!”
And when his hand almost reached at Yeowun’s stomach, Yeowun quickly snatched the man’s wrist.
“W-what?!”
The man tried to pull his hand out by using energy, but his wrist didn’t even budge as if he was stuck under a giant rock.
“Let me go! You...! Aaaaaaaaaargh!”
And as Yeowun clenched on his hand, the man’s wrist snapped in opposite direction, and broken bone poked outside of his flesh. Lady Mu shouted angrily to Yeowun.
“So, you don’t care if your guard dies! I can just snap my finger and he will...”
But before she can finish, Yeowun threw something from his pocket over at the table. It was small wooden box. Lady Mu became suspicious and asked.
“What is this?”
“Check it yourself.”
She became hesitant as she felt something wasn’t right, but she held up the box and opened it. Her eye shook as she checked what was inside.
“...What is the meaning of this?”
If she was not a martial artist of the cult but just regular woman, she would have dropped the box already. What’s inside was eyeball of a human. It seemed it was pulled out just while ago, that blood was still dripping from it. She was too shocked from the content of it. Yeowun then spoke to her with alluding voice.
“What do you think? Who’s eyeball do you think it is?”
Four hours ago...
Small hill at northeast corner of the Demonic Academy, there was a prison cave for criminals. Inside, there were two cadets who were decided on their expulsion from the academy. It was Chun Muyun and Mu Jinyun from the Wise clan. Two of them were locked up separately after four cadets had died few days ago.
And at dark cave inside the prison cave, a small candle lit up the small interior where one man was sitting down, meditating. It was Chun Muyun. His internal energy had been sealed when he entered the cave, so only thing he can do was meditating. Any normal person will go mad when locked up in such small cave alone, but Chun Muyun held up with only one purpose.
‘...Chun Yeowun.’
He didn’t even care about the man when they entered the academy. Only one he watched out was Chun Yuchan and Chun Kungwun, princes from other clans. Even his mother, Lady Mu, told him that he didn’t need to care about Chun Yeowun. But that Chun Yeowun had humiliated him more than ever in his entire life.
‘This is not over yet.’
He had lost on the competition, but he knew that it wasn’t over. His mother, Lady Mu, was talented strategist and powerful warrior who hid her power. She was a type who needed to fulfill her goal and her goal right now was to make Chun Muyun as the heir to the throne.
‘Mother will make a move.’
He believed that Lady Mu will surely see through Chun Yeowun’s wicked plans and take care of him. Muyun hoped for that and held him back. Soon, Chun Yeowun will be at his knees, begging for his lives.
‘Mother will probably be taking care of...’
That’s when the giant stone blocking the entrance to the cave began to move. Muyun became surprised.
‘Finally...!’
He thought it was time. He knew that Lady Mu will not leave him in such cave for long. When the stone opened its entrance about half way, cold outside air freshened up inside.
‘It’s time.’
Muyun got up from his seat. When he tried to take step toward the entrance, Muyun became shocked at the person standing, blocking the entrance. To Muyun’s eye that had adapted to the darkness, it was clear who this person was.
