Dimension Management God – 2

As if recalling what had just happened, Heavenly Demon shook her head violently and slapped Lee Mina across the cheek.

With the sound of air bursting, Lee Mina’s head snapped to the right.

“Master!!”

Kang In-ho, horrified at the sight of Lee Mina spitting out blood instead of screaming, shouted, and soon met the angry red eyes of Heavenly Demon.

“I have never had a disciple like you. Especially one who slaps their Master!”

Heavenly Demon’s voice, filled with Inner Force, echoed loudly.

“If I hadn’t slapped you, you wouldn’t have stopped.”

Kang In-ho pounded his chest, frustrated. In a situation where his words were useless, the only option he could choose was shock therapy.

And the method was quite effective. Heavenly Demon, Isis, and Maria joined the battle without delay.

“Shut up! Touching your Master to help another woman? Impudent fellow!”

However, the side effects were severe.

Every time Heavenly Demon moved, thick Killing intent flowed out.

The oppressive aura that tormented the weak made most of the people gathered sluggish.

“Haa… then what should I have done? I had to subdue Mina. What if we were divided and fighting each other?”

“To me, ‘we’ is only you and I. What’s so good about the women here that you would share yourself with them?”

Heavenly Demon slapped her again, and Lee Mina’s head turned to the left.

Namgung Soyou shook off the fragments of the Ancient shadow clinging to her hand.

“I respect you, so I joined this fight. Don’t expect more than that. My cheek still stings from your slap.”

“Honestly, it didn’t hurt, did it? You don’t even have Inner Force here.”

Heavenly Demon, who had been making a mess of Lee Mina’s face, paused for a moment.

She slowly released the strength in her hand, and Lee Mina fell to the ground.

With the sound of leaves crunching, Lee Mina kissed the earth, and the Ancient shadow began to gather around her again.

“My heart ached. My beloved disciple turned his eyes to another woman and slapped his Master, how could my heart not ache?”

Hoping that her disciple, who had lost his reason due to irritation and anger, would realize his mistake, she spoke clearly, looking into his eyes.

“……..”

Perhaps her words were well conveyed, as the disciple closed his mouth.

It was always like this.

Wandering the Jianghu, Namgung Soyou and Kang In-ho often fought over differences of opinion.

Each time, Namgung Soyou was the victor.

Thinking that it would be the same this time, she smiled brightly and said.

“So my anger towards Lee Mina is justified. She dared to seduce you and make you commit such a heinous act against me.”

Heavenly Demon’s foot, with added weight, fell towards Lee Mina’s slender neck.

“No…!!”

Knowing that Heavenly Demon would not stop, Kang In-ho reached out, but Heavenly Demon’s foot was already about to touch Lee Mina.

“Too late.”

Shaking her head, Heavenly Demon looked genuinely regretful.

Crack. A sound of something breaking was heard.

An uncomfortable silence filled the surroundings.

“……..”

Heavenly Demon looked at her abnormally twisted ankle.

Rather than the throbbing pain, the fact that something had harmed her upset her.

Her red eyes looked down.

Thick green Vines were tightly gripping and twisting her ankle.

“What is this?”

Heavenly Demon asked the woman wearing a Hanbok.

“As you can see, it is Vines.”

Chunhyang replied with a crescent-shaped smile.

“Do you think I asked what it was?”

Heavenly Demon frowned at the smile that reminded her of her former Master, who was now dead.

“Oh my, wasn’t that what you asked?”

Chunhyang teased Heavenly Demon with a playful smile.

“It seems you want to die first.”

Knowing the meaning, Heavenly Demon burned the Vines holding her ankle and then realigned the dislocated bone.

With the gruesome sound of bone snapping, Heavenly Demon’s foot returned to its original shape.

“Quite… a sturdy body you possess.”

Even as the burning Vines brushed past her head, Chunhyang remained unfazed.

“Did you want to move up the order since you’re going to die anyway?”

“That is not the case. It’s just that my husband did not want this child to die, so I stopped you.”

Heavenly Demon gritted her teeth as Chunhyang mentioned Kang In-ho.

“Do you think I don’t know that you and that child were trying to kill Lee Mina?”

Chunhyang and Seong-a’s techniques were filled with the intention to kill Lee Mina. There was no way Heavenly Demon wouldn’t know.

“That is correct. Although it hurts my pride, I had no choice but to think of killing her because this child and I alone could not subdue her.

Chunhyang emphasized the words ‘no choice’.

“However, with you and the other two joining, I judged that we could sufficiently subdue this monster. Of course… it seems you had other ideas.”

Chunhyang’s closed eyes slightly opened.

“Husband. I believe it is right to save the woman named Lee Mina. Isn’t she a ‘special’ relationship that you have with her? Killing such a person would be abandoning human morality.”

With eyes full of affection, Chunhyang looked at Kang In-ho.

“You…”

Heavenly Demon’s hair began to sway at Chunhyang’s words that excluded her.

“Husband wouldn’t want a conflict between ‘us’… can you handle it?”

A stream of Black flame was fired towards Chunhyang’s grinning face.

Lee Mina, lying on the ground, made a non-human sound.

As if struck by something heavy, her head was dizzy and she felt nauseous.

Lee Mina suddenly felt cold. Her body began to tremble.

‘Cold….’

She wanted someone to cover her with something warm.

As if reading her thoughts, she felt a warm energy spreading like ink in water throughout her body.

‘Ah… warm.’

She couldn’t tell exactly what was enveloping her, but Lee Mina smiled at the thought that she didn’t have to be cold anymore.

I should go back to sleep.

Today is a day off, so I should sleep until the afternoon.

She tried to throw herself into the Sleep Demon that was pulling at her consciousness.

“Warning. If you make any threatening movements, I will blow your head off.”

Clank. With the sound of precise machinery interlocking, cold metal touched the back of her head.

“Who… are you?”

Lee Mina struggled to lift her eyelids and recognized the gray woman she had once seen in the sand dunes.

“Do not move.”

She realized that a cold gun was pointed at her head and raised both hands.

“I, I’m staying still.”

Why do they keep telling me to stay still?

I am staying still.

Lee Mina couldn’t understand.

“Stay still. Further resistance is futile.”

“I am staying still, I tell you?”

Lee Mina shouted, as if answering Isis’s voice, which was gradually coming from below.

“Last warning.”

Three seconds after Isis’s last warning.

Isis’s gun spat fire.
