The Hateful 6 -1

“Let’s see.”

Namgung Soyou was the first to speak.

She casually glanced at her front, sides, and above, then turned around.

“Hmm.”

An unfamiliar man was looking at her.

Although it was a face she had never seen before, Namgung Soyou turned and approached the man.

She scrutinized his face, feature by feature.

Neat hair, a moderately high nose, slightly downturned lips, and fierce eyes similar to her own.

Namgung Soyou’s pace quickened as she approached him.

She finally sat on the ground, in front of the man who couldn’t take his eyes off her face.

Overwhelming joy and sticky desire surged from her chest.

It was a strong emotion that could drive a mediocre martial artist into a Demonic state of mind, but she didn’t care.

Rather, she welcomed the Demonic state of mind.

That thick emotion was the source of her power and a clear demonstration of her love for her disciple.

She chuckled at her disciple’s reaction, a mix of trembling gaze, widening pupils, surprise, and joy.

What words should she use to mark the end of her long wait?

She thought and thought again on the deserted summit of the rocky mountain.

Should she greet him casually, as if they had seen each other yesterday?

Or should she express her feelings in detail, so he could feel how long she had waited?

Deciding on a greeting was quite difficult, even for her, who had reached the end of martial arts.

Her heart was pounding so hard she wondered if it was even possible.

She casually extended her hand.

Her disciple looked at the hand.

“You promised me that if we met again, you would live with me forever, didn’t you?”

With a deep smile, she spoke the words she had carefully chosen.

“Keep that promise, my disciple.”

“You… you recognize me.”

As Kang In-ho, who was touching his face, muttered, Namgung Soyou nodded as if it were obvious.

“Even if your appearance has changed, the way you look at me hasn’t. Anyway, how long are you going to make me hold out my hand?”

When Namgung Soyou gestured towards her hand, Kang In-ho chuckled and took it.

As she pulled him slightly, he was drawn in and embraced by Namgung Soyou.

Due to the height difference, it looked like she was being embraced by him.

“Hmm, you were definitely more handsome before.”

Soyou muttered in his arms.

“I was more handsome back then.”

“I like your face now too.”

It’s like a face that shows your personality as it is.

Namgung Soyou added.

“You’re flattering me.”

Kang In-ho chuckled.

“Why don’t you flatter me then?”

As Namgung Soyou looked up at him and smiled, Kang In-ho smiled too.

And then an explosion was heard.

Startled by the sudden loud noise, Kang In-ho quickly pulled Namgung Soyou away from him.

They both turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

A cloud of dust belatedly obscured their vision, and after a moment, when the dust settled, a different scene unfolded.

The ground in a straight line between Kang In-ho and Alpha was torn up.

As if something had been digging into the ground as it ran, the lush, grassy ground was deeply hollowed out.

“How dare you lay a hand on what’s mine.”

Alpha was reflected in Soyou’s red eyes.

Judging from the situation, Alpha had done something targeting Kang In-ho.

But Kang In-ho was unharmed.

Because a person was blocking the straight line between him and Alpha.

Alpha’s attack was powerful enough to blow away a person’s upper body.

“Is it a miracle…”

Alpha said, in a voice that was a mix of male and female.

He had definitely seen the upper body blown away. Alpha frowned at the miracle unfolding before his eyes.

In front of Alpha, a nun in a modest outfit was praying with her hands clasped together.

“Maria.”

As the man called her name, the nun’s shoulders twitched.

“As expected, Saint is benevolent. To call me so kindly, even though I failed to save Saint.”

The nun carefully turned around, her eyes trembling as she took in the Saint’s appearance.

Blue and green eyes were shining mysteriously.

“Saint’s soul has such a form. It is an honor to finally be able to see Saint properly.”

Kang In-ho felt his face flush for the first time in a while, at the words that made the listener feel awkward.

“Ahem.”

It was someone’s clearing of their throat that broke the strange atmosphere.

Thanks to that, his vision, which had been teetering on the brink of annihilation, widened.

Kang In-ho slowly looked around.

Master gently holding his hand.

Maria confronting Alpha at the forefront.

Seong-a, who was trying to act like she knew him but remained silent after assessing the atmosphere.

Isis, scanning the surroundings with a blank face.

Chunhyang, taking in the women nearby with a smiling face.

Those who had a connection with him had appeared in the Unique Dimension.

It was probably the power of that shadow that Lee Mina possessed.

Lee Mina was lying face down on the ground, seemingly unconscious, and remained silent.

“I’d like to have some tea and catch up, but… it seems there’s something we need to take care of first.”

Namgung Soyou said, looking at Alpha, the enemy who was just a few steps away.

“He seems to hold quite a grudge against you. Did you do something?”

“He’s an uninvited guest.”

“However, husband. It is against etiquette to treat a guest like this.”

As he shrugged, Chunhyang, who had been silent, chimed in.

Was it because of the familiar term of address? Namgung Soyou’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

“…You’ve become arrogant because your numbers have increased.”

Alpha frowned at the surging Killing intent.

Having set foot in the Unique Dimension, their identities were naturally conveyed to Alpha, and of course, he also learned what powers they possessed.

He was the most perfect being created by an absolute existence.

The perfect mortal scoffed at the beings turning towards him.

“Whether you attack all at once or one at a time… any form is fine.”

With his arms crossed, Alpha received the five Killing intents with his whole body.

“Having set foot in the Unique Dimension, you have no chance of winning. No matter what tricks you bring, I am…”

Cutting off Alpha’s words, Namgung Soyou stepped forward.

She passed each person in turn, even passing Maria, and stood at the head of the group.

Her red eyes flickered like flames.

Thick Killing intent occupied the space, and the energy in her fist distorted the atmosphere.

“I’ll make sure you know exactly what happens when you touch what’s mine.”

As she exuded energy from her whole body and pressured him, a soft voice followed from behind Namgung Soyou.

“I do not know what is ‘mine’, but I agree with punishing anyone who tries to harm my husband.”

With a curve in her eyes, Chunhyang stood in front of Namgung Soyou with light, graceful steps.

“I understand the desire to rush ahead, but there is a procedure for such matters.”

Procedure? A question mark appeared on the faces of the other four.

Confirming that everyone’s eyes were on her, Chunhyang grabbed the hem of her skirt, bent her knee, and imitated a Western greeting.

“Protecting my husband is the wife’s job. Unrelated guests, please rest for a while.”

She gave a deep smile.
