The Love That Remains

Chapter 86: Boy, you are trouble

Sung Jun has no idea how the demon has possessed Fang Aisa, but it is leaving her body in rush. For some reasons, her body is reacting badly to this process. At this rate, she will die before the demon could leave her body.

He summons his heaven's energy and chants a spell without pause. This spell would kick the demon faster without hurting her body and soul. He reaches for her to injects his energy, but someone holds his wrist.

"Don't." Min Ho looks at him with fear. "This will kill her. She can't absorb heaven's energy because she broke the law of heaven by reincarnating back in time."

"Then...what should I do?" When it comes to her, his head has never been clear. Now, he is seeing her like this after such a long time. Why must she suffer like this? Why he couldn't come in time and save her? He is the one who led her to this point.

"It's almost over." Min Ho assures him. "I can read minds. The demon lords forgot to keep the barrier because of the shock."

Sung Jun tightens his fists. Her each scream is piercing his soul. She heaves her chest as the last bit of the dark smoke leaves her body. The dark smoke gathers around ten feet away from her. It condenses into a man's figure. The dark man opens his crimson eyes.

"We have to defeat him," Lord Violence tells the others. "He has just come out of the human. He should be in his weak form now."

He looks at the demon lords and laughs hysterically. He shows them a red crystal in his hand. "My great-granddaughter has been useful for me till her last moments. This is her core. Don't underestimate her. Her demon rank is mid-level. That is, she didn't stop cultivating until she stepped inside the circle. This core is enough for me to get my strength back."

Jar'Golen absorbs the red crystal in his hand. His skin becomes yellow. He looks more like a man and less like a shadow. The dark energy around him throbs as he sucks it inside his body.

"We have to attack now." Lord Wrath launches himself on Jar'Golen. Other demon lords follow him. But, it is too late.

***

Sung Jun pales when he hears Jar'Golen's words. That demon has taken her demonic core. Her body and soul will break at this rate. He lifts her body and tries to heal her, but her body rejects the energy. The dark energy is flowing chaotically in her body. He doesn't know what to do. He is watching her die again.

"Hyung, if you lose your mind, you can't save her." Min Ho glances at Sung Jun.

If words could help him think rationally at this time. Sung Jun looks around in fear. There must be someone who can save her. Her aura is getting weaker with each second.

Min Ho sighs. Both of them are crazy. He would never become like this for anyone. "Hyung, did you forget that you are crossing hell to become an immortal?"

Does it matter now?

"Of course, it matters." Fang Aisa doesn't have long to live. Her internal organs are damaged. Her cultivation veins are broken. The dark energy is wreaking havoc inside her body. "Cross the hell and become immortal with her. If you don't do it soon, she will die before crossing the hell."

Sung Jun finally understands what Min Ho is trying to say. He looks around for the last exit of hell. The circles have merged together. The final exit should be here somewhere. Min Ho takes a deep glance at the demon lords and searches inside their minds. Because of the fierce battle with Jar'Golen, they don't have the barrier on their minds. They just don't care at the moment.

"There." Min Ho points at the ordinary looking stone altar that appeared in the middle of the hell. "That place is the exit. Go."

Sung Jun picks up Fang Aisa in his arm. He notices that Min Ho is not coming with him.

"What about you?"

"I have to look for my brother." Min Ho smiles at him. "You and Noona owe me big time. Treat me something good to eat when I meet you next time."

Sung Jun wants to take the kid with him, but Min Ho's eyes are resolute. Fang Aisa coughs blood. She purses his lips and nods at the kid. Without any delay, Sung Jun makes his way toward the center of the hell. Min Ho watches as Sung Jun slashes through the hoards of demons easily, leaving bleeding bodies of demons behind him. He is relieved when he sees Sung Jun climbing the altar. With a flash of light, Sung Jun's figure disappears into the altar.

"Boy, you are trouble." Orana has calmed down now. Jar'Golen and the demon lords are fighting, but the end is pretty much decided. "You should leave this place soon."

"I have to find my brother." Min Ho repeats in a low voice. He has to go to purgatory.

"Alright, I warned you." Orana glances at the sky. All the demon lords have joined the battle. This is the second time when all the demon lords united against something. It won't be easy for Jar'Golen.

"I am leaving this place. I am going to another world. Earth is too boring for my taste."

She is worried that the bad demon will go to Earth after this. Min Ho heads toward Purgatory without looking back at her.
