Chapter 51: Master of Gorgon (9)

...

Irhan knew what everyone became after being entrapped in Eight Gates of Hell. The entrapped would beg to be taken out of the hallucination and end up getting their minds destroyed. The best part about this skill was the secrecy. No one other than the user and the target would know that the skill had been used.

Yet, many people in <Chaos> had gathered here. There were some who knew the skill and were suspicious about Irhan using it.

[Is he using the Eight Gates of Hell?]

[That’s too much for a 50-year-old kid!]

Some even sent direct whispers to Irhan.

[Irhan, stop! He is the Master of a Fortress!]

Irhan frowned. ‘Old fools are irritating.’

Irhan had no intentions of stopping. If he was successful, the permission to build the office would be easy to get. There was no need to back off now. Irhan ignored the whispers and concentrated on Jaehwan’s hand.

‘It’s about time for a reaction.’

Something was wrong. It was the [Eight Gates of Hell] from a 6th stage Adapter. Even the powerful warriors of the Ten-Clan would have reacted by now. But this Jaehwan did not show any change.

‘Is he hiding something? So the 3rd gate is okay? How about this?!’

Irhan instantly opened up the 6th gate. That was the farthest he could open up the gates before reaching Frost Dragon Velkisus.

‘This will be…!’

But Jaehwan suddenly spoke out loudly.

“What are you doing? Can you let go if you’re done introducing yourself?”

“Huh? Uh, y-yes. I’m sorry.”

Irhan became confused. Was the skill not activated? Was he okay even after facing the Frost Dragon? That was impossible.

‘Did he withstand the skill?’

That was the only possible explanation. There was no way to get out of the hallucination created by the skill other than facing the fear itself.

‘That’s impossible.’

As Irhan let go of the hand, he felt dizzy. He saw his field of vision changing in front of him.

‘W-what!’

Irhan clearly saw the world changing in front of him for a slight second. What was it just now? Even when he faced the Leader’s [Eight Gates of Hell], it wasn’t like this. Where did such a place exist?

It was a place that only could be described as hell itself. When Irhan came back to his senses, he was slumped down on the ground, shaking.

[What had happened?]

[Did the skill get deactivated?]

Jaehwan warned him. “You insulted the Master so you deserve a lashing, but I will let you go for now. There won’t be a next time.”

“Y-you…”

Chunghuh became frustrated.

‘What? Is that it? That’s boring!’

Chunghuh was looking forward to something exciting as he thought Jaehwan will stab away at the man for such a transgression. But nothing serious happened. It seemed he just showed his own world and called it a day. It didn’t seem to make sense for Jaehwan to stop at such a small repercussion. Chunghuh knew Jaehwan better than anyone else here. He wasn’t the type to show courtesy or kindness. But he was holding back.
