Chapter 39 Battle Of Promise Part 3

Splash!

A sharp sword pierced his chest. Kim couldn't believe that he died like this.

He just arrived in this world. It hasn't even been a week and now he was dead.

Kiro didn't even blink while killing him. He simply pulled his sword and looked around. He tried to find Kim's spatial ring but even after stabbing him, it didn't come out.

'Could it be a soul treasure? Does that mean after his death, the soul treasure has stuck with him? Should I bring his body back to the kingdom?'

After thinking for a while, Kiro decided to leave his body for a while. After he captures the princess, he will take his body to the kingdom.

Thinking so, he turned around and left.

At this moment,

Somewhere far away from the town,

Three women were running away. They didn't even stop to take a breath. They ran like hell but as they were running away, they suddenly felt powerful auras coming toward them.

Several people in white robes surrounded them.

"Kill the princess!" One of them ordered and several of them rushed toward three of them.

"Humph!"

[Nightmare Death Space]

Neyol walked in front of Hinata and her body released a dark aura. It spread out like a hurricane and surrounded everyone inside it.

When those people breathe that dark aura, their minds suddenly entered an illusionary space where there was nothing but darkness.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

No light, no breath, no food, no water, no people, nothing. Even these people who were highly trained couldn't stay there.

The time was so fast that it felt like years have passed. They didn't feel hunger, they didn't feel joy. They couldn't feel anything at all.

The loneliness. It was so strong that they couldn't resist it.

"No stop!"

Few of them managed to come out of it and when they saw the action of those who couldn't, they tried to stop them.

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

But, they were too late. Those who couldn't come out pierced their hearts with their own dagger and killed themselves.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

"You have Dark Nightmare Body?" The man who previously ordered them to attack suddenly regretted it. If he was even a little prepared, he could've stopped it.

But now, nearly seventy percent of them were dead.

"Damn you!"

The remaining ones gritted their teeth and rushed toward Neyol without any hesitation. But on the other hand, Neyol was extremely tired.

That was one of the biggest moves. It allowed her to kill over fifty people at once.

Now, she had less than ten percent of her internal energy and also less than half of her original stamina.

She wasn't even sure if she could fight.

"Die!"

The man reached in front of her and his dagger pierced forward. She tried to block it but her hands couldn't even move.

Ding!

At this moment, Yeosho suddenly appeared in front of her and used a sword to block the dagger.

Her hands flinched. She couldn't stop the strength of that man.

And, it didn't take him more than a few seconds to recognize that.

"Humph!"

Bang!

Without any hesitation, he raised his foot and kicked her away. But, Yeosho had stuck her foot on the ground. Her upper body moved back but her lower body didn't.

"I won't let you kill her."

Yeosho gritted her teeth and used her newly refined internal energy into her sword.

"Humph! Then, I will kill you first."

"Yeosho, move away! You can't block it." Neyol couldn't believe Yeosho would be so foolish. She stuck her foot on the ground. Just this was enough to make her bleed.

Now, she was trying to block the opponent that was way out of her league.

But instead of running away, Yeosho turned around and shouted.

"Take her and run away. If you stay here, all of us will die. But, if you move, then at least two of you will survive."

Crack!

Although she said that, when her sword collided against the dagger, it cracked in an instant. Her internal energy wasn't strong enough to reinforce her sword.

"You think too much. Don't let them escape!"

The man shouted and the other men behind him suddenly surrounded them. He looked at Yeosho with the intention to kill but he still didn't make a hasty move.

Neyol wasn't even running away but seeing them surrounding her, she lost all of her hope.

She suddenly dropped Hinata on the ground and caught Yeosho's waist. Without any hesitation, she pulled her out and threw her to the back.

"You don't have the strength to cover two people. Take her and leave!"

At this moment, Neyol was ready to sacrifice herself. She didn't know why she was doing this.

Nor, she understood why Yeosho was doing what she did. She just felt like if she didn't do this, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"No, remember our promise. All three of us must survive. I will never break my promise."

At this moment, Hinata clutched her back and slowly stood up. Although she wasn't even a cultivator, she still had a Heavenly Asura Body.

She could still fight.

"Don't be foolish! You and Yeosho don't have the strength to even scratch them. Run away!" Neyol gritted her teeth when she saw the pride in Hinata.

Hinata was deeply stabbed and without the Armament Technique or proper rest, she wouldn't heal even with those pills.

"Why should I listen to you?" Hinata gritted her teeth and her anger burst out. At this moment, the gloomy energy covered her body.

Her figure slowly started to transform.

"Don't think just because you are powerful, you can order me around. I am not going to run away. I am not going to break the promise."

"I am going to be the strongest person in the world. I will not lose my life here."

Hinata roared and at this moment, her body started to cover in dark scales. But, unlike before, the intense pressure not to die on her mind was completely awakening the power of her Heavenly Asura Body.

"No, don't let her transform!"

The man immediately sensed the horror of Heavenly Asura Body and roared. Everyone surrounding them rushed toward Hinata with their daggers.

Their speed was so fast that Neyol had no energy to stop them all.

When they attacked, Yeosho who was on the ground realized something.

'Am I the only one pulling him down? Am I the only one unworthy of him? I can't even block one attack. I can't even save one person.'

At this moment, the dead bodies of her parents suddenly appeared in her mind. Her mind went blank for a second and a strong unwillingness to die emerged in her heart.

'Father, mother, you gave up your life for me. It was my fault that you died. It's not his fault. If I am the one to blame, then I must live with that guilt.'

'I must prove that you two didn't give up your life for nothing. I must survive.'

"Back off!"

Yeosho screamed as her internal energy burst out of her. It wasn't pure internal energy but rather a large amount of lightning.

Those lightning bolts started fluctuating on the dagger and suddenly, a powerful force pushed them away.

"Damn! What happened?"

The man in front of Neyol shouted. He didn't understand what just happened. Neyol suddenly released lightning and threw away all of those men.

But, it didn't seem like lightning pushed them. So, how did she manage to push those people away?

Neyol was also surprised and confused. Hinata who had completely transformed into a hideous Asura looked at Yeosho with surprise as well.

Even Yeosho was confused for a moment. All she could feel was a strange force field around her, created by her lightning.

But, at the same time, her dantian was completely empty now. Although she didn't understand what happened, she immediately stood up and walked next to Hinata and Neyol.

"Humph!" Hinata and Neyol snorted at the same time but they were glad. If Yeosho hadn't done what she did, Hinata might have died and Neyol would've also died.

"Since none of us are running away, let's keep our promise and survive. Even if it is impossible, we must make it possible." Yeosho spoke as she clenched her fist.

"Humph! Don't get ahead of yourself. I will be the strongest." Hinata snorted and her eyes fell on the man in front of her.

"Although you have transformed, it won't last long. Everyone, attack them with all your might. Don't die early!" The man saw her arrogance and roared.

At this moment, those men from the ground stood up and released their powerful internal energy.

Although they were thrown away for a moment, they weren't weak. They were still able to survive under Nightmare Death Space.

"Die!"

All of them roared at the same time and rushed toward three girls. Three of them also got ready to fight them to death.

But, suddenly, the surroundings got gloomy. The ground beneath them shook.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

The battle that was supposed to start just stopped. All of them turned their heads and saw a man approaching them.

He wore a tattered grey cloth. His eyes were covered by his long hair and his beard was covering his face.

He looked like a prisoner that have escaped from prison but when he took a step, the ground beneath him shook.

Another step and the tree near him cracked. The intense aura was neither killing intent nor internal energy.

It was just spiritual pressure. It was so powerful that it was suffocating.

Those men who seemed to have been trained for death started trembling in front of that man.

"RUN"

The leader roared with terror emerging in his eyes. He didn't hesitate even for a second to run away. But the three girls didn't know what to do. There was no killing intent but the pressure coming from him was suffocating.

It was so powerful that they wanted to bow. But, they had their own pride. How could they bow in front of a stranger?

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

The man slowly closed the gap. He reached in front of them.

Gulp!

Three of them didn't know what to do. They were shaking, and hesitating to look into his eyes.

But, they still couldn't block his voice.

"Do you know where can I find something to eat?"
