When the name Yeon was uttered on the cold face, it was absurd how anger spread. Blood Leader Hyuk grinned and scratched deeper into Danmokbi’s heart.

“Do you know what that look when seeing a wound is like? The eyes that look at the wounded as if they’re pitiful, do you know how lovely they are? I want that.”

As he spoke, his heart raced. Facing Yeon, for the first time, he was excited not through violence or murder but through an act.

Who dares to sympathize with Blood Guild’s leader, Blood Leader Hyuk? Only that woman could do it.

“So, she’s mine. Her smile, her gaze, every bit of it.”

“You can’t have that.”

Danmokbi looked at the greedy Blood Leader Hyuk with a disdainful gaze.

“Because Yeon loves me.”

“…That’s what makes me want to kill you!”

He tried to scratch Danmokbi’s heart, but ironically, it was Blood Leader Hyuk who was overturned by Danmokbi’s words.

As Blood Leader Hyuk rushed toward Danmokbi, wielding the iron chain. The projectiles hit by the iron chain shattered, and dust rose like clouds. While avoiding the iron chain skillfully, Danmokbi gently raised his voice.

“Your energy is tremendous. I admit that.”

“Let’s see if you can talk like that after losing an arm and a leg!”

The iron chain aimed for Danmokbi’s neck like a snake. Danmokbi raised his sword to block the iron chain. Even though it was a famous sword, the force was so strong that the broken end of the sword entwined with the iron chain shattered like teeth.

Blood Leader Hyuk, holding onto the iron chain, pulled it towards him. Danmokbi, resisting to prevent being dragged, swung the sword to knock away the iron chain.

At that moment, the iron chain wound around Danmokbi’s left arm. In an instant, the thick iron chain dug into Danmokbi’s arm, as if breaking his bones. Blood Leader Hyuk burst into laughter loudly.

“Crawling around in front of her like a pathetic worm. And die!”

A flashing gaze clearly indicated that in his mind, Danmokbi’s arm was already being cut off. Danmokbi twisted his lips at Blood Leader Hyuk’s words.

“If you kill me in front of Yeon, won’t she be sad?”

To Danmokbi’s words, Blood Leader Hyuk made an arrogant expression. Tears from Yeon. It was the best.

“That’s my purpose. That scene of her shedding tears because of me will be incredibly beautiful.”

“You scoundrel.”

“You just realized I’m a scoundrel now?”

Danmokbi bit his lower lip. Blood Leader Hyuk was so excited that he whistled.

“Do you know? Because I’m a scoundrel, Jiho likes me. Pitying me, sympathizing with my emptiness, wanting to fill my emptiness.”

That was also a part Danmokbi struggled with. Unconditional affection similar to a parent’s love that Yeon bestowed upon him. Danmokbi grabbed Blood Leader Hyuk firmly and shouted.

“So, if you just disappear, everything will be fine!”
The original goal was to kidnap Jegal Jiho, but facing Danmokbi, the original goal had long disappeared.

‘Like this, I’m just getting swept around by that iron chain.’

However, Blood Leader Hyuk’s iron chain was slightly different from a typical one. At the end of the round ring, there were small rings, and once entangled, they didn’t untangle easily.

‘It must have been quite difficult to handle, but he learned it well.’

If it were made in such a way, there would be many problems when trying to use it as a weapon, such as it not coming out when held or other issues.

‘But that’s something to say to subordinates.’

The form and principle of this chain were understood. Danmokbi exerted strength in his arm.

“Now it’s time to hurt him.”

Daring to mention Yeon’s tears. He would never let it happen gracefully.

Flames seemed to flicker in Danmokbi’s eyes. Danmokbi suddenly exerted force, and the iron chain wrapped around his arm was pulled toward him. Blood Leader Hyuk laughed at such Danmokbi.

“Even so, it’s your flesh that’s going to burst!”

When the force is applied, eventually, the arm of Danmokbi entwined with the iron chain will just get mangled. Blood Leader Hyuk twisted the corner of his mouth, confident of his victory.

That was the moment. The iron chain that shouldn’t be loosened suddenly unraveled, and his body swayed. And in the midst of not being able to regain his balance, this time, the iron chain that had been wrapped around Danmokbi’s arm pulled Blood Leader Hyuk’s wrist.

“What is this…”

It felt like being enchanted by a fox. Danmokbi, who was dazed, calmly spoke to Blood Leader Hyuk.

“Now it means you’re the one who’s going to be hunted.”

“Humph! Something like this!!”

To Blood Leader Hyuk, who didn’t know pain anyway, having his arm get mutilated was nothing.

It was when Blood Leader Hyuk was about to engage in a full-fledged power struggle with Danmokbi. A warrior ran in and shouted.

“Big trouble! A monster that suddenly appeared is after Miss Yeon!”

“What?”

The warrior, who ran to call Danmokbi, looked surprised at the unexpected confrontation.

Yeon is in danger.

‘Jegal Se-ga is not such an easy place.’

Causing a commotion, Blood Leader Hyuk thought he would sneak in somewhere secretly. So, in reality, he caught him.
