Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Conditions for the Seal (1)

Kang-jun started with surprise when her body disappeared .

‘She hasn’t entered the seal . Indeed, a top demonic god . ’

The power of Hwanmong meant it was now possible to seal someone without a power jewel .

The moment he defeated the target, they would enter the sealed world but Cardia had resisted .

Hwiing!

At the same time, a flurry of snow rose on the snowy field and Cardia appeared again .

‘A perfect state of resurrection . ’

It was just like when he first saw Cardia .

Even the distinctive white cloths that covered the important parts were the same .

The attack power also didn’t decline at all .

If a great demonic god died and resurrected then their combat power would decline, but Cardia was different .

In fact, Kang-jun was also like that .

Even if a strong opponent appeared and killed Kang-jun, he would still be resurrected in a perfect condition without a decline in his combat strength .

Cardia was currently in such a state .

If Kang-jun’s power was significantly superior to Cardia then it would be possible to temporarily delay her resurrection or to seal her, but this wasn’t the case .

He could win but it wasn’t winning overwhelmingly, so there was no way other than to kill her once she resurrected again .

Cardia also knew this and gazed at Kang-jun with an obnoxious expression .

"In the end, you will block me like the prophecy said . Then we will fight forever . I will also prevent you from leaving this place forever . ”

With those words, she wielded her sword again .

Hwiiiing! Papapat!

The sword aimed at Kang-jun! After separating numerous spaces, she transformed each of them into weapons that aimed for Kang-jun .

All of them had the extreme destructive power that would turn a great demonic god into dust .

“How troublesome . ”

Kang-jun rushed through the attack and swung his sword .

There was no need to defend since he wouldn’t receive any big injuries and he would only suffer pain .

Of course, the pain was considerable .

He would be able to tolerate one or two ant bites, but what if there were thousands of rats biting him at the same time?

It was a terrible torture .

Papapak!

Kang-jun ran through the weapons and ruthlessly struck Cardia’s body .

‘Kuook!’

An extreme pain rushed through his body .

Just like how dust could accrue into a mountain, he didn’t receive a fatal injury but the pain accumulated .

Still, Kang-jun managed to split apart Cardia’s body again .

Seokeok!

"Ack! D-damn! I’m angry . . . ”

A line was drawn from Cardia’s neck to waist and her body disappeared .

She stared at Kang-jun as she left .

However, she immediately reappeared again after disappearing .

In the meantime, Kang-jun’s bloody body returned to its original state .

He didn’t have to use a potion or recovery magic as it just healed itself .

There was no end to this battle .

He didn’t remember how many times he killed her after that .

At a glance, it seemed like he killed her thousands of times .

Kang-jun continued to kill and Cardia continued to die .

But unlike Thanatos, her fighting spirit burned even more every time she died .

Kang-jun determined where she would pop up and aimed his sword at her .

However, she avoided it and then he was forced to chase Cardia and the time it took to kill her again became longer .

Kang-jun asked sadly .

“Why don’t you give up now? You can’t beat me, Cardia . "

"Shut up, you damn bastard! I will never let you leave this place unless you take me with you . ”

"How many more times do you intend to die?”

“Let’s see! I’m thinking about dying at least a billion times . I might consider it again after dying a billion times . If I die more than a billion times then I might think about it seriously . But prior to that, there is no way . Kill me as much as you can . I’ll just revive again!”

Cardia glared at Kang-jun .

“ . . . . . . ”

Kang-jun was dumbfounded . Her mentality was entirely different from a great demonic god .

Kang-jun could finally see that Cardia would not surrender no matter how many times he killed her .

So it would stay like this .

He now had two ways

One was to further enhance the power of Hwanmong in order to become overwhelmingly stronger and seal Cardia .

However, Kang-jun thought that was virtually impossible .

So far, everything had become possible in a short amount of time but this wouldn’t be that easy .

He had no sense of time thanks to being immortal but it would take a great amount of time, training, meditation and luck .

Therefore, he couldn’t use the first method .

The second method was to negotiate with Cardia .

But that was also nonsense .

If he wanted to convince Cardia to be his slave then he needed to give her something in return . What could satisfy her?

What conditions would make a top demonic god agree?

Such a thing was impossible .

Or he would have to kill her a billion times and tell her not to leave this Abyss forever .

Cardia wouldn’t accept any conditions that Kang-jun gave her unless she went mad .

Furthermore, it was still a possibility .

If he killed her a billion times and asked to negotiate then Cardia would accept .

Cardia was a huge poison .

Once her escape from the Abyss became impossible, she seemed to be trying to retaliate by keeping Kang-jun in the Abyss .

Kang-jun wasn’t sure and just swung his sword .

‘I will just keep killing her . ’

He couldn’t find another way .

If he offered a ridiculous negotiation then it would only be laughed at .

Thus, he decided to just immerse himself in killing Cardia .

Anyways, no other strong being could be sensed in the dimensional system .

If Cardia entered the dimensional system then a disaster would occur .

Therefore, Kang-jun was protecting the dimensional system just by killing Cardia .

Killing Cardia had such a meaning but he didn’t feel it afterwards .

There was no meaning whatsoever .

Only killing Cardia! He only focused on that .

Seokeok! Chwack! Puhak!

Kang-jun casually killed and Cardia revived with a poisonous expression . But inwardly, she was very frightened .

'Those eyes, it seems like he really plans on killing me for eternity . ’

She hoped that Kang-jun would negotiate and sighed when he didn’t act that way .

In the end, it seemed like she would have to start the negotiations .

“Wait! Let’s have a discussion . ”

"What discussion? Just die . ”

Kang-jun said as he approached Cardia with his sword .

"Just let me kill you 1,000 times . ”

“What?”

"If you die 1,000 times then I will become your servant . ”

Cardia stared at Kang-jun with a large smile . If he allowed her revenge then she would become Kang-jun’s servant .

Kang-jun just snorted .

He wasn’t naive enough to believe her .

He didn’t intend to die 1,000 times, but even if he did, Cardia might not keep her promise anyway .

"Shut up and die . ”

Kang-jun pierced Cardia’s throat with his sword .

After she resurrected, she stared at him with a frown .

"How about 100 times?”

"There is nothing else . You will just die . If you don’t want to die then be sealed and become my servant . ”

Kang-jun killed her again . Her eyes were filled with poison when she revived again . She was so frustrated that she felt like crying .

“10 times! No, only once! Please die by my hands once, and I will be your servant . ”

“Once?”

Kang-jun thought about it for a brief moment . It was ridiculous . However, it wasn’t difficult to die once . Even if she tried to deceive him, it wouldn’t matter since it was just once .

Just how much did she want to kill him?

"Will you really become my servant if you kill me once?”

“Yes . Just let me kill you once . ”

Kang-jun honestly didn’t want to do this but it couldn’t be helped . His household members were crying in hell and he couldn’t just keep killing Cardia forever .

He decided to try and grab the chance .

“Okay . However, be sure to keep your promise . ”

Kang-jun weakened the power of Hwanmong that was protecting his body .

Puhak!

Then Cardia approached like she had been waiting for a long time and stabbed Kang-jun’s heart with her sword .

“Hohoho! Kill!”

"Ugh!"

Kang-jun’s body was crushed and turned to dust .

However, he instantly reappeared in his original spot .

He was in perfect condition . Kang-jun laughed bitterly .

'Dying always feels dirty . '

Even if infinite resurrection was possible, dying was never pleasant .

On the one hand, Cardia was making an extremely satisfied expression .

It was like she had killed an enemy of the clan or an enemy who killed her precious person .

Were they the eyes of a group who defeated the bandits?

He felt like he was seeing the dignity of a hero or an independence fighter who saved the country .

Kang-jun was dumbfounded but he declared towards her .

“Cardia! Now become my servant like you promised . You shall forever be sealed in a Hwanmong world . ”

If she didn’t enter the sealed world on her own then Kang-jun couldn’t force her .

Of course, he realized that this was ridiculous .

No matter how he thought about it, dying once wouldn’t satisfy her .

Not surprisingly, Cardia cried out .

“Are you crazy? I won’t do something so ridiculous . ”

“Are you trying to break your promise?”

"Heh, I just said I was going to be your servant . A servant doesn’t have to follow their master’s orders . Conversely, there are situations where the master must listen to the servant’s orders . ”

“In the end, this is just the beginning . ”

Kang-jun wasn’t greatly disappointed that Cardia hadn’t kept her promise .

Still, he hadn’t known so it was worth dying once .
