Possessing Nothing Novel (쥐뿔도 없는 회귀)

Chapter 132 - Blood Heaven Demon (2)

Lee Sungmin returned to the inn near the northern gate three days later, where he had arranged to meet the Crazy Heavenly Demon again. Since he didn't plan to stay there or have a meal, he directly entered the restaurant on the first floor and sat down. Rubia, who was hiding inside his sleeves, slowly came out and transformed from the sphere of light into her beastkin form.

"Is he not coming?"

"He will come."

Lee Sungmin was confident. Crazy Heavenly Demon could not disobey him. It was because of Heoju's powers which were deeply carved into his body. As long as Crazy Heavenly Demon had those powers, he had no choice but to come here.

[He has no choice. If he flees, my power in his body will seize him.]

Heoju said in a confident tone. Lee Sungmin also had a vague sense of faith in him.

Lee Sungmin had been staying at an inn in the central district for the past few days. It might have been possible to go to Geniella's mansion or Kim Jonghyun's place, but he had not. The two of them were not people who would act within reason. They were too unpredictable. In particular, he was worried about Kim Jonghyun's inner thoughts, but he didn't approach him because he didn't want to get entangled.

He spent three days like that, thinking about the enlightenment he had acquired in the fight against Crazy Heavenly Demon.

In fact, it could not be called enlightenment. It was what he already knew. He had already learnt it but simply could not perform it. Although there was still a long way to go before he reached the level that he had reached in his subconscious, his slowly progressing body had exploded with ability during the life-and-death situation with Crazy Heavenly Demon.

'Is this evolution?'

Lee Sungmin thought as he pressed down on the left side of his chest firmly. The power of the heart evolved through predation according to Freskan's words. He did not want to practice predation, but the heart would undergo evolution regardless of his will. The only difference from the past was that there was a definite goal that it was evolving toward.

What Lee Sungmin was currently aiming for was none other than himself.

Rubia's ears perked up.

The door on the first floor of the restaurant opened with a rattling sound. Lee Sungmin turned his head to look at the door, and the Crazy Heavenly Demon strode in.

"What is that?"

Lee Sungmin asked as he saw the man following behind Crazy Heavenly Demon. He couldn't figure out the man's size since he was wearing oversized clothes, but he could see that he didn't have an arm since the man's left sleeve was swaying in the wind.

"... Ehm."

Crazy Heavenly Demon cleared his throat as he approached Lee Sungmin. It seemed like he was hesitating about how to explain this sudden meeting to Lee Sungmin. Lee Sungmin did not look at Crazy Heavenly Demon, and stared at Baek Museon instead, who was standing behind him. Even with a crippled arm, his aura was still unusual. Lee Sungmin figured that he must be the infamous Baek Museon.

"... That's absurd."

The first one to break the silence was Baek Museon. He looked at Lee Sungmin with a distorted expression and then turned around to look at Crazy Heavenly Demon.

"Did you lie to me?"

"What lie?"

"I came here to meet the young expert who nearly killed you."

Baek Museon spewed out with an irritated voice.

"That guy. I know he's pretty good, but he still doesn't seem like he has the ability to kill you. Did you deceive me?"
