29 – “Rebirth”

1.

Eunho felt an unfamiliar thrill the moment he let the needle go.

It wasn’t from joy, but from surprise. Yet it was still a good situation.

“Be patient. I will confirm what this is now.”

He swept through the vein paths to observe Hansoyeo’s situation.

“………….”

“Do you see anything?”

Eunho nodded.

“I’ll go straight into treatment. Waiting for recovery in your current state might cost you your life in the next treatment.”

“What can we do to help?”

“I’ll go get medicine from my things…”

Eunho stopped them from going.

“We already have everything we need.”

When Hana asked what he meant, Eunho spoke while disinfecting the needle.

“Vampire Blood Syndrome is a rare disease caused by vampire bites.”

“Vampire… bites? That means…”

Hansoyeo asked if it was vampires.

“Vampires mostly get it. It seems that humans can get it too. However, if humans catch it, they are known to instantly die on the spot.”

Eunho spoke based on information he obtained by checking Hansoyeo’s vital signs.

“And… The reason Lord Yeonghong gave up is probably because he knows that no matter how well he does with human medicine, all it does is extend life.”

“Is that true..?! But you said everything we need is already prepared..”

Eunho, who had prepared the needle, placed his hand on his chest, seeming a bit nervous.

“Eunho..?”

And he opened Hansoyeo’s vital points.

“”………!!””

The moment they fainted, both Hansoyeo and Hana, Nangong Yunha and Pyeong Yahwa, all turned their attention to Eunho’s vital points.

They couldn’t overcome the impulse and reached out to take that reward.

Didn’t they say all those in the martial world… no, those who desire power, are all fascinated by it?

That statement was correct.

The moment the barrier opened, Eunho became both human and supernatural being.

“If the ingredients from the human world don’t work… then with the elixir of the heavenly realm.”

Gathered in the barrier, they became one entity.

“….!….!!!”

Even though Hansoyeo fainted, she stretched her hand toward Eunho’s barrier.

A body that moves only with the desire to become stronger, to live.

Crack! Forcingly lifting her rotten arm and leg, they shattered. At the same time, a desperate poison spreads.

Except for Eunho, the other three are martial artists and regained their composure to protect against the poison.

ㅡHwaruk.

As her limbs broke, Hansoyeo’s body began to sink into the liquidity of mercury.

The last device installed on her limbs prevented her from sinking into the liquidity of mercury, as Honggun considered it too severe.

That’s why Honggun told them not to sever her limbs.

At the moment they broke, the liquidity of mercury once again flooded in.

“Ha… Ahhh…. Ahh…!”

“Soyeo!!!!”

“Calm down!”

Was it a scream? Hansoyeo cried out with a broken voice.

Quickly, Eunho inserted the sphere he had created into Hansoyeo’s body.

Then, he pressed the strengthening blood to stop the release and tied up his torn clothes.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!ㅡㅡ!!!!

Intense light flooded the room.

Now, it’s the final stage.

ㅡTeok. Yeonha touched her nose and mouth. It wasn’t completely blocked.

Eunho formed a barrier to prevent himself from being poisoned by the venom.

Yeonha’s fresh fragrance can be detected from her nose.

Eunho smiled brightly and started treatment.

First, he released the strengthening blood on Soyeo as well.

It burdens the body, but when Eunho himself ate the sphere before, it was a powerful energy to the point where even the liquidity of mercury rose, like emergency treatment.

Pengyahwa held onto shaking Hansoyeo’s body.

“…. If you don’t want your brother to die, catch him quickly… Eunho can’t control himself with his saliva!”

Hana-rin also regained her senses and held onto So-yeo.

“Just… just hold on a little longer, So-yeo… It’s a request… Don’t leave me alone.”

With tears streaming down her face, Hana-rin prayed.

What Eunho had to do was simple, something he had been doing all along. However, it was extremely difficult this time because he didn’t know when she would die. He had to suppress the impending attack of Ju-hwa-imma while preventing it from killing her, which made it exceptionally challenging.

The second task was to slow down the arrival of Ju-hwa-imma. The first task was to stabilize the sphere that Eunho gave to So-yeo.

Last time, Eunho had absorbed all the power from the elixir that came out of himself during the battle but failed and spat it out. Therefore, a process of refining only the necessary parts was essential. Unlike other elixirs, Eunho’s sphere was insufficient no matter how high-grade it claimed to be. Among them, the least stimulating part was what was needed now.

Non-stimulating doesn’t mean it has low purity, but what was required at the moment.

The stimulating part would be used to suppress Ju-hwa-imma and handle two tasks simultaneously.

In less than five minutes, Eunho succeeded in delaying Ju-hwa-imma and stabilizing the energy flow.

Now it was time to carefully create the pathway for the energy.

The first thing to do in the changed situation.

Extract all the poison that had swelled up in the sphere.

The method and principle behind the detoxification were the same.

Instead of purifying it, completely discard it.

That kind of toxin was difficult to purify even if a master came.

The energy from the sphere Eunho gave naturally filled that role.

It was impossible to immediately tranquilize the swollen sphere. Eunho immediately moved on to the next step.

The poison throughout his body was originally Hana-rin’s energy, which she had possessed before.

He discarded all of it and replaced it with Eunho’s energy.

But there was a necessary step before that, using the substitute energy feast to turn the sphere’s energy into So-yeo’s.

However, her body was severely injured and her limbs were broken.

There was a solution.

Hwanguk Taltae, which required being at the 5th stage or transcendent among martial artists.

No matter how excellent Eunho’s substitute energy feast was, he couldn’t induce Hwanguk Taltae in Hana-rin, who was not a martial artist, let alone unconscious.

“Reaching the ultimate level of mastery in martial arts required one to gain enlightenment. However, I didn’t even know if I could manage to heal the injuries caused by the ultimate mastery. What I was attempting was not quite the same as attaining enlightenment, as the body could not make the necessary dramatic strengthening and rejuvenation as it always did before. I might have to dedicate my life to physical therapy. Nonetheless, I proceeded.”

“Although the most crucial enlightenment for the ultimate mastery was nonexistent, I had a knowledge of the extreme internal energy and principles. To achieve the ultimate mastery, one must pierce the ‘limdukyangmaek.’ After finding and piercing the ‘limdukyangmaek,’ I would be able to complete the end. Once all the poison had disappeared, a large malignant tumor would come into view. In the same region that seemed to be afflicted with cancerous growths, Eunho could detect the ache.”

“That’s the source of the illness. I would insert acupuncture needles there and simultaneously remove the residual energy from the body’s structure to stimulate it. I would then use accumulated influential energy particles to kill the tumor.”

“The dragon’s blood is dead. There’s no longer any pressure compression. And finally, the ultimate mastery. I had shed the energy particles. I had already utilized them all for handling the malignancy.”

“Then, the only thing left to use would be the pure energy now combined with the body. With that, I pierce the ‘limdukyangmaek.'”

“There’s no need to pierce it all. Piercing it all is no different from the true ultimate mastery. So, if I forcibly opened it all, Hansoyeo would die. Just a single line. It would be enough if I pierced only the purest energy.”

“When I came to my senses, Hangya-hwa was opening the door, while refreshing the energy as Eunho wiped away the sweat on his forehead. The two had worked together for nearly a month, running the acupressure business with Eunho, so they immediately anticipated each other’s needs. Hanarin heaved a sigh of relief, looking at Hansoyeo sleeping peacefully, and said, “I’ve never attempted the ultimate mastery myself.”

“Even though Eunho understood that he could do something similar to attaining enlightenment through acupressure, he had never tried it. Eunho thought that it was a good idea to have learned through knowledge. It was impossible to pierce the ‘limdukyangmaek’ with the current energy. Therefore, he had to stimulate the ‘limdukyangmaek’ directly.”

“And…”

“……..Whew…”

Penetrating.

2.

The next day.

“Umm…”

Eun-ho opened his eyes. Even though he opened his eyes, the world still seemed invisible.

He blinked to survey the surroundings. It seemed that the narrow room was filled with women who were tightly embracing him.

Young-ha was on Eun-ho’s right arm, and Bang-ya-hwa was on his left arm.

“You should have been aware of yourself as a man…”

It was actually the women sticking so closely to him.

He chuckled and kissed their foreheads before looking ahead.

“………Have you woken up? Kongja.”

Han-ah-rin said with a slightly tearful voice.

Knowing that it wasn’t sadness.

Eun-ho gently looked at the ‘sisters’.

“Thank you… thank you..”

Han-so-yeo, who was dozing off, and Han-ah-rin, with tears in her eyes, hugged Eun-ho tightly.

Eun-ho was momentarily surprised by the sudden skinship, but soon smiled and hugged Han-ah-rin tightly.

.

“….. Ahem. Uh.. Kongja. Are you angry?”

“…..Yes?”

“I’m sorry. I… I couldn’t hide my joy. I… I didn’t have any other intention..!”

“Oh. Don’t apologize. I trust Ah-rin. Do you think I would doubt her?”

“No matter what, a woman embracing a man with a lover.. it’s something that a martial artist cannot forgive.”

“A… lover?”

“….Yes?”

Ah-rin also understood the meaning behind the words ‘lover’. So she asked awkwardly.

“I… You don’t date anyone, whether it’s Namgoong Yeonha or Paeng Yahwa?”

“Yes… well, not yet?”

“Ye-ye-yes?!”

“Well, I think the skinship is excessive.”

“S… Skinship? I think I know what it means, but…”

“It means touching each other’s bodies. I think it’s excessive.”

“..Ho-Have you found any weaknesses?”

According to Hana’s common sense, she did not expect them to be so open-minded that they wouldn’t date either of the two girls.

“No. They are both good people. Maybe it could work..”

“Not at all.”

Anyway, what does it matter?

*Kneels down*. Hana bowed her head again and took a foothold at the same time.

“To repay Kongji’s favor, this Hana. I will do anything.”

“Anything…” Eunho chuckled.
