Chapter 15: To the last one (2)

“Hey, this isn’t what we expected,” the man growled.

His patience had run out, “Didn’t he run away?”

“No, not yet,” Tall woman replied.

“He’s still watching us…”

“Then why isn’t he coming!”

The man’s voice echoed through the entire rock region. They were trying to act as if they were resting but they were now running out of patience.

“Idiot! If you yell like that…”

“Sh*t! Who cares about yelling! He doesn’t have food anyway! He’s probably at the brink of dying by now!”

The man stood up.

“I’ll go and kill him myself. Hey, tell me where he is with your Nature.”

“…”

The girl did not agree but she silently took up the water bottle and drank. She then pointed at the high rock.

“Bastard, so was that where he was hiding? I’ll go get him, you girls prepare the ritual.”

The girl then took the object from the duffel bag. The tall woman also did not stop him.

“How do I get up?”

The man walked around, looking to find a way. At last, he was able to get up from a place which was out of sight from the others.

The tall woman then realized that the number which showed someone was watching had now disappeared. This meant…

“Hey…”

Before she could speak, she saw a kick from the corner where the man had disappeared off to, and the man was thrown back with his face crushed. The man tried to fight back, but his opponent was fully prepared.

Dohyuk appeared, kicking the man multiple times. He then searched the man and took the cube. The tall woman knew who he was.

“Yoo… Yoo Dohyuk.”

Her voice shook as she began thinking. The only option was to kneel with her cousin, apologize, and offer this shrine to him. The man was not dead yet, so the Great Emperor could use him as an offering to obtain great power.

‘Maybe then I will live.’

She did not want to fight. She decided to let her cousin know about this plan and tried to turn back, but she couldn’t. Her cousin kicked her knee and used her elbow to hit her face.

“I’m sorry. But we weren’t that close anyway.”

The girl grabbed her cousin’s head and crushed it down against the shrine. A stone pillar was in the duffel bag. She slammed her cousin’s head against it a few more times and she died. Blood began to flow onto the pillar. Then, the pillar began to shine.
