Swoosh!
Soaring over the city, my eyes moved from building to building in search of the inn where Prince Ronald was staying the night. I had no information on his exact location, so I was hoping I would feel Seo-Yun’s presence and use that to locate the prince.
However, after flying for nearly twenty minutes, I noticed a figure standing atop a roof with a psychotic smile I could never forget. Seo-Yun waved at with a proud expression that made believe she expected to co looking for them tonight.
SWOOSH!
Without hesitation, I swooped down and gently landed beside her. My wings folded and dug into my body while I turned to et her flirtatious gaze.
"I’m guessing you couldn’t get off your mind after that kiss, so you ca looking for to eat up," she said, her finger playing on her lips while her smile only widened.
A cold shiver ran down my spine. I wondered if fifty years of living as a Gatekeeper had driven her crazy. But I quickly rembered—Gatekeepers are vile souls who have committed unimaginable cris, so I shouldn’t be surprised that a crazy woman like this made the list.
Regardless, Seo-Yun’s slender face was hard to ignore. Her long eyelashes, complinted by the black paint around her eyes and extravagant black jewelry, all added to her beauty in a weird way.
"I’m here to make a deal with you," I said, and the excitent in her eyes faded almost imdiately.
Her gaze turned cold and she narrowed her eyes before asking,
"So you refuse my offer?"
She spoke in an almost threatening tone, but I simply chuckled.
No one threatens this God.
"And I bring another offer. Since you said it doesn’t matter who sits on the throne, stand by and Crown Princess Serena. Abandon Alisha," I said with a fearless chuckle.
Seo-Yun shook her head and began walking in circles around .
"I decide who sits on the throne, and you follow my decision, baby. I have my reasons for wanting to put that family on the throne. All I need is your compliance, not your opinion," she said, stopping behind and sliding her hands down my shoulder, caressing my chest.
This lady must have been the empress of sexual assault. The bitch can’t keep her hands to herself.
I’m sure that’s why she beca a Gatekeeper.
"And if I refuse?" I asked, and her hands froze.
She turned to et my gaze, her eyes filled with sadness.
"I don’t want to kill you, baby. Can you just do as Mommy says?" she whispered before pulling in for a kiss.
Bang!
Seo-Yun was sent skidding backwards, stopping just a few ters away. I gazed at my fist, then at her body, and frowned. I felt like I’d struck a brick wall—and ended up harming myself more than I hard her.
Her stats must be sowhere over 20 points!
"Kill ?" I chuckled as darkness erupted from my body. "I’d love to see you try."
Seo-Yun’s smile faded, and her brows knitted into a deadly frown.
"Why would you say this?" she hissed like a cat. "Is my love not enough?"
What?
I blinked repeatedly, confused by that statent.
Is she crazy or sothing?
Pa!
Seo-Yun clasped her hands together and her palms were engulfed in dazzling silver flas.
"GATEKEEPER’S RIGHT: MOONSHADOW JUDGENT!"
Instinctively, I took a step back as soon as I felt the chill of her flas. I wasn’t sure what this was, but my instincts told to run.
’I can’t let that touch ,’ I concluded.
"Who is the bitch that stole your heart and made you turn on ?" Seo-Yun continued her rant. "Is it that Princess? Don’t tell you chose her over !"
At this point, I was at a loss. What the hell makes her think I’m fighting for love?
How did love even get into this conversation?
"Are you retarded or sothing?" I blurted out purely out of curiosity—but that was all the motivation Seo-Yun needed to make the first move.
Bam!
The ground beneath her feet shattered as she shot forward, her burning palm striking at !
[Wavelength of Madness Activated!]
Buzz!
Dark cracks spread across my eyelids as Seo-Yun’s figure slowed.
Swoosh!
I sidestepped—her palm struck past —and I swung at her exposed face, determined to shatter her skull in one blow.
Peng!
My eyes narrowed as I noticed a ghastly blue figure shaped like a human. Its form was too vague and translucent to make out facial features, but it had blocked my attack with a sword.
"What?" I muttered, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. But that mont was all Seo-Yun needed.
"MOON MARK!" she roared, her burning palm striking my chest. A fierce silver shockwave exploded out, sending hurling back like a cannonball.
Gaaaah!
A painful groan escaped my lips. I soared past the building we stood on and crashed onto the roof of another, rolling a few tis before springing to my feet.
"Aah..." I groaned, my hand reaching for my chest where I was hit.
The pain was different from what the system usually subjected us to. It felt like my chest was on fire—and breathing beca difficult.
"It’s not stopping?" I muttered in shock.
Every wound I had sustained in my Berserk state healed instantly—even getting my belly split open and taking an arrow to the skull.
Yet this one worsened instead of healing.
Curious, I looked down at my chest—my eyes widened at the sight of a glowing silver crescent moon symbol.
[Moon Mark:] Tagged victims receive double damage from all attacks and are exposed to the final Eclipse Attack.
"What?" I gasped and staggered back. "Can I remove it?"
Thud!
My head snapped up as Seo-Yun landed on the roof with a seductive smile. Flanking her sides were four blue floating spirits—one wielding a bow, another a shield, a third a spear, and the last a sword.
They moved around her like planets orbiting a sun.
"You can’t remove it," she said with a low chuckle. "Once caught by my Moon Mark, you’re as good as dead."
Seo-Yun declared boldly, her voice echoing through the night sky.
