Chapter 208
I Will Drench the Earth in Your Blood
"You guys can go now."
With those words, Son Jo-Woo and Mor Mai walked out of the building, while Sung Jin-Woo and his sister headed toward the school office.
Outside, Son Jo-Woo stood in complete silence.
He raised his head and gazed at the blue sky covered in pale clouds.
A cold breeze blew past, causing strands of his soft black hair to sway around his face.
The scene seemed peaceful...
Far too peaceful.
"Mor Mai."
"Y... Yes?"
She answered quickly and turned to look at him.
His voice was calm, but that tone...
It was enough to plant fear in one's heart.
"I know everything."
Mor Mai's body froze.
"W... What do you mean?"
Her voice began to tremble.
She could feel that something was wrong...
Something terrifying.
"I know everything you've done until now. And the more I think about it... the more I find myself unable to understand it in my heart."
His voice lowered slightly, yet his words only grew heavier.
"What did I ever do to make you hate me this much?
I did nothing.
When you left me and went with my brother... I did nothing.
When you told me you loved him more than me... I did nothing.
When the two of you tried to poison me during the raid... I did nothing.
And when you sent assassins after my head... I still did nothing."
Mor Mai's eyes filled with tears, and her body trembled with every word.
She truly had no idea what to say in this situation.
Meanwhile, Son Jo-Woo calmly continued.
"All of this happened because of you... and because of Kai No.
And I...
I didn't retaliate.
I didn't even try to take revenge."
Son Jo-Woo took a deep breath, then lowered his pure blue eyes from the sky and looked directly at her.
She was on the verge of crying.
No...
She was already crying.
"I won't do anything about what happened in the past."
He said coldly.
"Consider it...
Mercy.
Or forgiveness...
For the happy days the three of us once spent together."
Then everything changed.
His voice dropped...
But it became heavier than lead.
"But from now on—
I swear...
If any of you come after me again...
I'll kill everyone."
Her eyes widened.
"I don't mean just the two of you.
I mean...
Your families.
Your friends.
Your brothers and sisters.
I swear...
I will drench the earth in your filthy blood.
Do you understand me?"
With every word, a dark aura began to coil around Son Jo-Woo's body.
Dense...
Crushing...
Overwhelming.
Mor Mai felt as though the very air itself was pressing down on her chest.
Her body trembled violently, and she nearly collapsed.
At that moment, she knew—
He wasn't joking.
Nor was he making empty threats.
Those blue eyes...
They were no longer pure.
They had transformed into demonic eyes, completely devoid of mercy.
"Son Jo! Stop!"
The voice came from behind.
It was Sung's voice.
"You're terrifying the entire school!"
Son Jo-Woo returned to his senses and looked around.
Every eye was fixed on him—
Fear...
And dread.
He breathed calmly and withdrew his aura.
It vanished...
As though it had never existed.
Then he stepped forward and patted Mor Mai on the shoulder.
She had wet herself from sheer terror.
"Remember my words.
This is your final warning.
And tell that effeminate bastard as well.
If he tries anything against me—
I'll have dogs violate his corpse, and not even the entire universe will be able to stop me.
And always remember...
This is my mercy."
He turned around and left.
He climbed onto his motorcycle.
Sung Jin-Woo got on behind him, along with another girl.
Son Jo-Woo didn't say a single word and immediately headed toward the raid.
Sung didn't ask him anything about what had happened, nor did he ask why Son Jo-Woo had truly been so furious.
---
After some time, they arrived at the raid site.
"This isn't Yoo Jin-Woo's raid, is it?"
Sung calmly replied,
"Yes.
It's a training session for the White Tiger Guild."
Son Jo-Woo casually shrugged.
"Well...
It's all the same.
Let's do it."
Before he could finish—
A huge man appeared, wearing massive armor.
"Cut the bullshit and get inside!
We're not here to chat, you bastards!"
At the man's shout, Son Jo-Woo's body twitched, and his nerves nearly snapped.
"Director...
Can I kill him?"
His eyes blazed with a pure blue light.
"Huh?!"
"I'm joking...
Just joking."
He smiled, but his fists clenched tightly.
His body stiffened slightly, though it wasn't entirely noticeable. He remained calm on the outside and entered the gate.
The instant their bodies came into contact with the blue light—
Son Jo-Woo and Sung Jin-Woo felt an immense pressure.
Twisting red sparks began crawling across the gate.
"Sung Jin-Woo... It's—"
Sung quickly shouted behind him.
"Chief!
Contact the guild immediately!"
The gate swallowed them.
---
Inside the dungeon—
The air was bitterly cold.
Wintry...
Dead.
'This feeling...
It's as if I've entered the domain of death.
The gate changed from blue to red...
That means—'
He didn't finish.
Three arrows shot toward them at terrifying speed.
Sung Jin-Woo moved instantly and caught the arrow flying toward the girl's head.
At the same moment, Son Jo-Woo caught the ice arrow aimed at his eye.
The third arrow—
Pierced straight through one of the hunters' heads.
His head instantly froze, then shattered like ice when he fell to the ground.
'They're...
Snow Elves.
The Hyakki.'
Sung Jin-Woo looked at them.
Pure blue skin.
Glowing blue eyes.
Long white hair.
Pointed ears.
Ice...
Son Jo-Woo looked at his hand.
The ice was slowly consuming his body.
But—
He activated Frigid Ice.
The ice covering the arrow faded away until nothing remained.
'The Frigid Ice skill I learned in Zao Fan's world...
It's truly useful.
But these bastards...
They're annoying.'
The Hyakki smiled arrogantly as they hid among the trees.
They did not attack again.
"Alright...
Let's explain the situation."
Hunter Kim Chul spoke, acting like an arrogant leader.
He began dividing the group, taking the strong...
And leaving the weak behind.
'He's really trying to do it.'
Son Jo-Woo sighed and moved with Sung Jin-Woo and their group.
After some time—
Sung Jin-Woo took clothes out of the shop and distributed them.
Son Jo-Woo didn't take anything.
'This freezing environment will strengthen my body...
And raise the level of Frigid Ice.'
Before anyone could speak—
A massive white shadow moved.
An Ice Bear.
