Side Story 36

CRASH!

The thick wooden wall broke, and Asura was sent flying.

He staggered and got up, only to fall again.

Through the broken wall, YuWon stumbled out.

"You got me this time," YuWon said, wiping a drop of blood from his forehead and looking at Asura.

"You're persistently disgustingly persistent."

Was this the eleventh or twelfth time?

Asura was gradually adapting to fighting YuWon.

The time it took to subdue him lengthened each time, and this time, Asura had even managed to make a small cut.

The same had happened with Vishnu.

The hundredth time he fought against Vishnu was the toughest.

"What a mess," Lee Rangjin said as he approached YuWon.

"Why do you keep fighting?"

"That's what I'm wondering."

"It seems like Asura is the one who keeps attacking. Isn't this self-defense?"

"Why not kill him? Is that what you're asking?"

"Yes."

Asura doesn't have a Guild. In other words, there's no need to worry about retaliation if you kill him.

However, YuWon kept letting Asura live even though he constantly attacked him.

Even though, if things continued like this, he might end up getting hurt.

"If you keep it up, he might regain his sanity."

"It seems like he's hurt too."

"It seems like he's only using swords."

Asura had attacked YuWon with a variety of weapons.

First a sword, then a spear, then a vajra and a short spear, and even a bow.

YuWon responded to Asura, a Martial Arts Master, with the fencing he had taught him.

The difference was considerable.

In the future, YuWon had a higher rank than Asura, and now he was even stronger than back then.

"Still, don't fight so much here. Repairing the building is not an easy task."

"I was already thinking of leaving soon."

He couldn't stay here forever.

Pandora's wounds had already healed, and the Celestial Realm had finished cleaning up the mess.

His next destination was also decided.

Son OhGong had already grown bored and left the Celestial Realm.

Now it was YuWon's turn to start moving.

But before that...

"By the way."

"Yes?"

"Do you remember someone named Kim YuWon?"

"That's the fourth time you've asked that."

YuWon had asked this question right after finishing his battle with the Administrators.

As expected, Lee Rangjin's answer was that he didn't know.

But still, he had hope.

Maybe if he asked a few more times, if he thought about it carefully, he might remember.

But unfortunately...

"As much as I think about it, no one comes to mind. It's strange, but the name sounds familiar."

"...Really?"

The reason he had spent so much time here was to see this reaction.

To see if he really would remember.

'Like Son OhGong or Hercules, whom I've seen for a long time. Or like Varuna or Hastur, whom I've cornered to the point of death...'

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't remember him. The fact that he had confirmed it already made these last few days worthwhile.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

'So, what should I do...'

YuWon's gaze turned to Asura, lying on the ground.

'I should... tell this guy too.'

------------------------

"We can't win like this."

The voice echoed in Asura's mind.

It was a voice like his own.

Alongside the owner of that voice, Asura reviewed the battle against YuWon in the depths of his consciousness.

"The opponent is too strong."

"We've already lost eleven times."

"No, twelve."

"Does that matter?"

"Since when have we gotten so used to defeat?"

The two fought within Asura's mind.

Then, gradually, Asura, regaining consciousness, interjected into the conversation.

"The important thing is not that."

"Then what?"

"That guy knows us."

Asura remembered the battle against YuWon.

At first, it ended so quickly that he didn't even remember what happened.

Asura, exhausted from the battle against Taishang Laojun, was defeated by YuWon in an instant.

The next times were similar.

If he was going to rest, it was much better to do it in the inner room than on the windy railing.

And so, just after YuWon and Pandora left the place.

『It seems I've found a way.』

A voice echoed in Asura's head.

-------------------

'It's strange.'

In a small room inside the Sun Chariot.

YuWon, lying with his head on the floor, reflected on his conversation with Asura.

It had been a short conversation, but it had a strange feeling.

It was as if he had been talking to several people instead of one.

'There's only one Asura left. It should definitely be like that...'

Asura had lost a head in the battle against Indra.

And another in the battle against the Outers.

That way, only one of the three Asuras survived.

It should have been like that.

However...

'Is he missing a screw?'

Asura definitely acted like three people.

It made him uneasy.

Of course, Asura had always been far from normal.

After losing everyone he loved, even his family, at the hands of Indra, he became obsessed with fighting and blood.

But now, he had become even more unhinged.

Kunk-.

At that moment, the sound of the Sun Chariot touching ground was heard.

A two-day journey.

YuWon lifted the upper part of his body from where he lay.

'Looks like we've arrived.'

He sat without fully getting up and looked around.

Pandora had definitely gone out to get some fresh air on the railing.

Wondering why she hadn't returned after a while...

'Don't tell me.'

With an idea in mind, YuWon abruptly stood up from his seat.

--------------

Swoosh-!

The new form of Asura ran through the trees.

Right after the Sun Chariot landed.

Asura grabbed Pandora, who was standing on the railing taking in the air, and started running with all his might.

Pandora hung from one of Asura's arms, looking up at him as she asked:

"Where are we going?"

"Anywhere."

"Why?"

"To provoke the guy who was next to you."

Pandora blinked several times at Asura's answer and asked:

"With me?"

"Yes, with you."

"To kill me?"

"I don't kill anyone unless they fight me."

Asura was a fanatic for fighting, but that didn't mean he killed anyone. He often enjoyed fighting opponents who piqued his curiosity or were strong.

And right now...

All of Asura's attention was focused on YuWon.

"Of course, if you resist, I might kill you."

"Why me?"

"It seems like the only thing that guy cares about is you."

"The only thing he cares about..."

Pandora, hanging from Asura's hand, smiled weakly. She liked hearing that she was the only thing YuWon cared about.

"Alright, I'll do it."

"You will?"

"Yes, I will."

"Are you saying you'll pretend to be a hostage?"

Although it was strange, from Asura's perspective, it wasn't a bad attitude.

After all, even Asura had taken some time to subdue Pandora.

If she decided to resist, it would be easy for YuWon to catch up with them.

'Not bad to have a hostage. While his only weakness is here, this time he will get angry.'

Anger.

That was the perfect seasoning to bring out YuWon's true self.

This time, he could really see his true self.

And then, with his sword, he would cut YuWon's throat.

At the moment Asura decided.

"It will be fun..."

The "hostage" in question, Pandora, had a cheerful expression, as if she were about to play a game.
