Book 6: Chapter 212
There was a strange look in Kim Hajuns eye as he stared at the Martial Lord in the distance. The shirtless man was lying on the ground with his face in the dirt. One of Ouyang Fengs arms was missing, and more sections of his skin was covered in blood than not. His underlings were crowding around him, dumping healing potions on his wounds.
Kim Hajun looked towards the woman wearing black armor, the one who had beaten him to near death multiple times as vengeance for one of her subordinates. Mary was holding the Oebu Sins upper half with four of its fingers while impaling its thumb-having lower half with her sword. Even though she was only holding half the hand, the fact she could overpower it showed just how strong she was.
Kim Hajun shifted his gaze onto Vur and Tafel. Tafel was melting softening orichalcum with her flames, and Vur was bending the metal with his bare hands, weaving it into a cage. Kim Hajun nodded as he understood something: Erdes environment mustve had some airborne steroids or something to make its inhabitants unnaturally strong.
Mary turned her head, noticing Kim Hajuns gaze. What? she asked. Is there a problem?
Kim Hajun gestured towards the red-haired womans hand. Isnt it difficult to keep the Oebu Sin in place like that? he asked.
Mary stared at Kim Hajun as if he were a drooling dog. Its just a hand, she said raising the portion of Oebu Sin she was holding. Its not even a whole hand. How strong can it be?
Please dont, Kim Hajun said. One Oebu Sin was enough; why would the fairy want there to be four? Did she want to destroy four towers?
No, Mary said and shook her head. She picked up the cage, the metal having cooled down. What if it dies? I wont allow it. With the innate ability given to her by the tower, she could drain the life force of things she sliced with her sword and use it to heal herself. The red-haired woman turned towards Kim Hajun. Youre certain this doesnt need to be watered or fed to survive?
Kim Hajun hesitated. Certain was such a strong word, but the way Mary was looking at him told the well-dressed man he couldnt say no. Yes, Kim Hajun said. It doesnt need to be watered or fed. Without a mouth or stomach, what could it eat or drink? Maybe it might need some sunlight?
Mary nodded and tucked the cage underneath her arm. A dark-red energy poured out of the slits, and banging sounds rang out as the two identical severed hands punched the cages door. Mary held the box with both her hands and took in a deep breath as she bent her knees. Her body tensed as she raised the rattling box up over her head. Then, she slammed it down towards the ground before jerking it back up, repeating the motion, shaking the box with enough force to defeather a chicken. The group stared at Mary as bone-breaking thumps and cracks rang out of the cage, ringing out a macabre melody. As the wisps of dark-red energy faded away, Mary slowed the speed of her shaking, listening closely to see if the two hands were struggling. When she confirmed they werent moving anymore, she stopped. A furrow appeared on her brow when she noticed the silence around her, and she raised her head. What?
Are you alright? Tafel asked. I mean, is everything okay? You seem tense.
Mary blinked. No, Im alright, she said. Thanks for asking.
Tafel stared at the now-silent cage. The demon nodded. Thats great to hear.
