77. The Secret Revealed

“Don’t think about dying gracefully. I’d rather make you suffer enough to cry out for death.”

Choi Joo-won and Do Gun-ho, who were talking coldly, tried with all their might to retrieve the dagger, but like a heavy rock, they couldn’t move.

– Swoop

Choi Joo-won looked at Seo Ho-hyeok lying down next to him while holding Do Gun-ho’s dagger.

“Heeuk… Heouk…”

Alive. No, can you describe it as being alive? Barely breathing

All of the flesh on his body had been torn and the skin was peeling off, and there were a lot of wounds from being stabbed with something like an awl. There were deep burns on his arms, and there were no scars on his face. There were blisters all over her body, probably from a fire.

[Recovery]

-Huh

The blood flowing from Seo Ho-hyuk’s body stops.

[Recovery]

The wounds on Seo Ho-hyuk’s body disappear one by one.

[Recovery]

Seo Ho-hyuk’s torn flesh begins to stick.

‘Still… You’re still alive…’

Although Seo Ho-hyuk passed out, he was alive. As he was progressing in his treatment, Do Geon-ho shouted.

“This… Such a crazy bastard-! Who are you-! Who is ignoring me and doing this!”

Do Geon-ho was furious when he saw a man ignoring himself and suddenly exchanging recovery skills. Then, he raised his left hand and tried to use magic.

-Sueuk

For a moment, Choi Joo-won looked at Do Gun-ho. And even when he wielded the hellhound’s sword, he brushed off Geon-ho’s arm and peeled off his skin.

-Chaw ah-!

With a chilling sound, all the skin on the arm was ripped away.

“Kuaaa! F*ck-! Seebaaal-! Kill this bastard! Kill this bastard!”

Do Geon-ho shouted to the guild member next to him. However, no sound was heard. Unconsciously, Do Gun-ho looked around and regretted it.

[Hellfire]

-Paaang-!

The guild member he was carrying had his head melted and died the moment he tried to move.

-Taat

Do Geon-ho quickly threw away his dagger and stepped back. And he shouted at Choi Joo-won.

“You bastard… I don’t know who you are, but do you think you can live with this?”

[Teleport]

Choi Joo-won moved behind Do Gun-ho without a word.

-Chaw ah-!

This time all the skin on his back was peeled off.

“Quaaah-!

It’s not just that the backskin was peeled off. Do Gun-ho’s flesh was severely cut to the extent that his shoulder blades were exposed.

Do Geon-ho gathered the mana in his body and used his magic.

[Blizzard]

-Sueuk

Choi Joo-won raised his hand and chanted.

[Hellfire]

-Quaaang-!

The magic developed by Do Gun-ho was destroyed in an instant. He obviously cast the spell himself first. However, Joo-Won Choi’s magic, cast belatedly, not only came true earlier, but also destroyed the magic.

Overwhelming power difference. Do Gun-ho, who felt it with his whole body, talked to Joo-won Choi.

“What… What… What do you need… Blood?…”

Do Geon-ho, who finally finished grasping the situation, asked Joo-won Choi, trembling.

Looking at him like that, Choi Joo-won talked.

“I don’t need anything.”

-Sereung

Choi Joo-won, who was chosen as the Hellhound again, said coldly, looking at Do Gun-ho.

“You should suffer the same.”

-Chwaaah-!

“Quaaa!”

-Chwaaagh-!”

The flesh from all over Do Gun-ho’s body is torn. Just as he did to Seo Ho-hyuk, Choi Joo-won was torturing him in the same way.

-Chwaaagh-!

-Chwaaagh-!

The hall was filled with only the sound of skin being torn and the man crying out in pain.

How long had passed, and there was no more skin left on Do Gun-ho’s body.

[Recovery]

Choi Joo-won recovered Do Geon-ho and continued the torture.

-Chwaaagh-!

“Ooooo! Please… Please tell me why. Why did you do this to me… aaah, why did you do this to me…

-Seoguk

This time I cut off all of his fingers.

Do Geon-ho stood behind him, trembling.

“I… Please… Who… I don’t know who… I don’t know…”

-Jerbuck

-Jerbuck

Choi Joo-won just raised his hellhound fangs and quietly walked toward Lake Dogun.

“Da… Da… Are you… From another guild?… Ah… Or are you an acquaintance of the author Seo Ho-hyuk?”

-Seoguk

Choi Joo-won silently tore the skin off Do Gun-ho again.

“

– Cheahahahahah-!

Wounded and in a half-shocked state, he couldn’t do anything except open his mouth stupidly and pant.

“Heeuk… Heouk…”

Even though blood was flowing all over his body, Geon-ho spoke while shedding bloody tears.

“Please don’t do this… If you want something, please tell me. Please, please…”

-Koo Woo-wook

Choi Joo-won trampled on Do Gun-ho’s head with his foot.

And he spoke quietly.

“Why should I stop? Judging from the way you use it, I don’t think you’ve been tortured once or twice. Have you listened to me crying out for you to stop, to stop?”

“….”

Do Gun-ho kept his mouth shut and looked at Joo-won Choi.

-Quad Deuk Deuk-!

Choi Joo-won pressed Do Gun-ho’s face and pushed him to the floor. Then the sound of flesh being torn rang out horrifyingly.

“Keukh…Uhhhhh…”

Do Kun-ho started to shed tears from the unbelievable pain. It wasn’t even a crowd. He’d tortured or killed someone before, but he’d never done anything like this before.

Since he belonged to a high-ranking guild, he had enormous power, and as he was a guy who was comfortable handling only the people the guild leader handed over, he wouldn’t have thought that he would be defeated in reverse.

“How are you feeling? How do you feel when you’re always trampling on others, but then you get hurt yourself?”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Ah… I will never do that again…”

-Kwajik-!

Choi Joo-won stepped on his face once again, and blood began to flow from his nose.

-Sueuk

Then he lifted Do Gun-ho’s face and began to slam it against the wall.

-Quaaang-!

-Quaaang-!

“Heehee….”

Im Dochun, who was watching from behind, saw it and screamed as his whole body trembled. Because he thought he would be like that soon.

Im Dochun thought.

‘Z… Should I run away right now?’

Unlike Geon-ho, Lim Do-chun, who was in charge of guarding the secret hideout, did not take on the role of torturing or harassing anyone, but it is true that he tried to kill the masked man in front of him.

Judging by the man’s personality, he was ruthless and was not judged to be a forgiving person. The only way to live is to run away. Thinking so, his man tried to run away while he was distracted by Geon-ho.

-Badle Babble

My whole body was weak and I couldn’t move. No matter how frantically he tried to move his legs, his feet couldn’t budge from the overwhelming and terrifying sight in front of him.

Im Dochun’s body was screaming.

If you run away, he will die.

Im Do-chun also knows. Not only the magic the man showed him, but even swordsmanship, he had overwhelmingly great skills. It was also the fact that such a man could not catch up with him running away.

But what should I do? As he continues to watch Gun-ho die, should he die too? He can’t be.

Dochun Lim continued to think. What should he do so he can live on his own. He thought he had to prove his necessity.

‘What the hell… Is this person doing this…’

I have to think of it. The motive for this attack.

‘It was like an acquaintance with the man who was being tortured.’

The masked man even gave treatment to an elderly man who was being tortured. It’s an ambiguous level to think that you don’t know each other.

‘No way… It’s not Choi Joo-won.’

The reason Seo Ho-hyuk was kidnapped was to know the identity of Choi Joo-won. Then, it was right to judge that the man who acted as if he was trying to protect Seo Ho-hyuk was related to Choi Joo-won. However, Joo-Won Choi’s magic is A-level.

It is impossible to show the ridiculous ability to freely move hundreds of strands of lightning at the level of an A-class. So it was confusing.

‘It is impossible to guess who it is.’

With that conclusion, Lim Do-chun remembered something.

‘It doesn’t matter who that man really is. It is true that he acted as if he had come to save Seo Ho-hyuk anyway. Then, what does the man want?’

Revenge.

It was clear that what the man wanted was revenge.

The man is taking revenge on the person who tortured Seo Ho-hyuk.

In other words, the man’s intrinsic anger is directed toward the guild that kidnapped Seo Ho-hyuk.

-Gulp

After thinking, Dochun Lim shouted at Juwon Choi.

“I… Ha… I have something to tell you.”

-Suddenly-!

“Quaaa!”

Joo-won Choi, who had also amputated Kun-ho’s left leg, looked at Do-chun Lim as he cleaned up his blood-splattered clothes.

“What can I say? Do you want to live? I’m sorry but I can’t. I have no intention of seeing anyone.”

“Ki… Don’t you have a grudge against the guild? Seo… It was the guild’s order to torture Seo Ho-hyeok like that.”

“It doesn’t matter if you ordered it. I just followed you, so you want me to watch it? That’s so irresponsible I will kill them all.”

“I… I know the secret of the guild leader.”

-Pooh woo woo-!

Choi Joo-won thrust a knife into Do Gun-ho’s heart and twisted the sword.

-Jerbuck

-Jerbuck

After that, I walked over to Lim Do-chun.

“What’s the secret? If it’s useful information, I’ll save you.”

-Gulp

Lim Do-chun looked at Do Geon-ho, who had been stabbed in the heart, and talked with his body trembling.

“Forbidden magic in the country… the temple of sacrifice… have you heard of it?”
