SHADOW BEFORE CREATION Chapter 124 124: 123

Plan of Revenge (1)

123

{Ahem… ahem… people}

The dokkaebi's voice echoed through the air as it floated above the newly summoned crowd.

{You who have been summoned here, like little chicks.

If you wish to survive, you must find a strong group and join it imdiately}

Voices rose among the new humans.

"Do you think we're fools? We already know that!"

"The Supre King! Yes, he's the strongest. We should join the Supre King!"

"I've heard of the Beauty Queen, but she's weak."

"You idiots, the Supre King isn't the strongest."

A brief silence fell before soone asked hesitantly:

"Then who is?"

"There are two incarnations of imnse power here.

First: the King of No Killing.

They say he's a great and powerful king, and even if he's killed… he won't die."

"Damn! That's amazing!"

"And the other?"

Before the man could finish speaking, a deep war horn resounded, cutting through the atmosphere like the announcent of an approaching disaster.

Both Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk raised their heads at the sa ti.

There was a long procession of elephants, moving with slow majesty.

On each elephant sat soone muttering strange incantations.

But all eyes stopped at one particular elephant—

upon it stood a luxurious tent, excessively beautiful.

"O humans!

I am here to liberate you!"

Soone muttered mockingly:

"What nonsense is this bastard spouting?"

As Nirvana Moebius addressed the people, trying to sway them to his side, Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk moved to confront him.

It quickly beca clear that he was nothing more than a frog that had reincarnated hundreds of tis, supported by a powerful constellation, which was why he behaved with such arrogance.

Yoo Joonghyuk had once saved him when Nirvana was rely a weak snake.

Since that day… he had begun following him like a disgusting shadow that would not disappear.

---

In the corner of a building, Arthur was crouched, his head between his knees, muttering words no one could hear.

As he recalled Kim Dokja's words from earlier—

"Arthur… I'm sorry."

Arthur slowly raised his head.

"What are you talking about, Dokja? Say it now."

"It seems our group has been scattered after the appearance of the Church of Salvation and—"

"And what? Finish it! You're killing with your slowness!"

Kim Dokja swallowed, his voice beginning to tremble.

"Yi Shun… has died, Arthur. I'm sorry.

Because he overused his skill, he lost consciousness.

And while he was in that state… the Church of Salvation found him and—"

Kim Dokja's voice began to fade, as if the world around Arthur had fallen silent.

A familiar… warm voice echoed in his mind.

"Brother Arthur… promise you won't die."

Arthur smiled with a strange calm, a smile devoid of any joy, then stood.

He looked toward the battlefield.

Yoo Joonghyuk was engulfed in darkness, while Kim Dokja fought with everything he had against Nirvana Moebius.

Arthur raised his gaze to the high sky.

"I will avenge you… my gentle little brother. I swear I will drench the earth in the blood of creatures."

He opened his mouth with force.

Roar of the Great King!

The roar exploded with indescribable rage and hatred.

Bodies trembled, windows cracked, and even the air bent under the weight of the destructive sound waves.

Kim Dokja's body shook violently.

"Damn… he's lost control."

Arthur rushed toward Nirvana Moebius at an unbelievable speed, to the point that the sound of tearing air followed his steps.

"I will kill you, you son of whores."

He grabbed Nirvana's head and smashed it into the ground with trendous force.

The earth shattered beneath it.

Punches rained down rcilessly—brutal blows filled with rage and despair.

Arthur grabbed Nirvana's scarf, wrapped it around his neck, strangled him violently… then tied his neck with it.

He lifted the scarf high, swinging it, with Nirvana hanging from it like a doll.

The scarf suddenly snapped, sending Nirvana's body flying into one of the elephants.

"You bastards! You took Yoo Joonghyuk from tod—"

Nirvana didn't finish his words before—

Kim Dokja, in his dwarf size, launched forward and delivered an extrely fast strike that tore through part of Nirvana's abdon and chest.

Arthur did not hesitate.

He raised his sword and dashed toward Nirvana's neck—

But Nirvana raised his hand and touched Arthur's forehead.

"Damn it! Arthur, don't let him trap you in the Eternal Nightmare!"

The Eternal Nightmare…

a technique that drags a person into their worst mories, imprisoning them within the deepest trauma of their life.

Nirvana Moebius smiled, as if he had already won.

He stepped aside.

But suddenly—

He felt an unbelievable danger behind him.

He bent quickly, dodging the sword strike.

Everyone looked in shock.

Arthur… was still fighting.

His body trembled violently, blood flowing from his mouth and eyes.

"From this mont on…

you are my only nightmare… and killing you is my salvation."

He brought his sword down with force, lunged at Nirvana, then opened his mouth and bit into his neck violently.

He nearly tore him in half—

But Nirvana's body began to fade gradually… then vanished.

"He escaped… we need to withdraw too, Arthur!"

Kim Dokja said with concern.

He wanted to retreat before Nirvana's followers attacked them in this condition.

But—

Arthur moved at incredible speed toward Nirvana's followers.

He reached the first man and drove his hand into his chest, piercing flesh and bone, his hand erging from the man's back.

He opened his grip and dropped the corpse.

"Wake up…

and begin the massacre."

With those words, ten skeletons erged from the shadows, their eyes burning with a dark glow, and rushed after Arthur without hesitation.

Arthur charged like a manifested demon, as if nothing human remained within him.

The great massacre began.

Swords, screams, bones shattering, flesh tearing.

There was no battle… only extermination.

Ti passed—or so it seed—before Arthur finally stopped moving.

Blood covered his entire body—the blood of Nirvana Moebius's followers—until it was impossible to tell where his body ended and the massacre began.

The sight was utterly grotesque.

The ground was covered in corpses. All the humans in the area were dead…

killed brutally, coldly, without rcy.

No one remained.

No followers…

no screams…

no life.

Only a mad demonic king, standing in the silence,

surrounded by his skeletons, stained red from the sheer amount of killing.

Kim Dokja looked at Arthur, who stood atop a mountain of corpses.

He approached him slowly.

He wanted to speak…

wanted to apologize…

wanted to tell him to look forward, to keep fighting.

But…

what right did Kim Dokja have to say that?

He didn't know whether it was his mouth refusing to speak, or his heart itself unable to form the words.

Arthur noticed him approaching.

"Dokja… are you okay?"

The voice ca out calm, hoarse—

the voice of soone who had endured unimaginable suffering,

a suffering that shattered his soul… and broke it.

"I…"

Arthur interrupted him with deadly calm:

"You don't need to say anything, Dokja.

Yi Shun's death…

is not your fault."

He paused for a mont, then continued in a voice filled with pure hatred:

"It's because of that bastard and his followers,

because of those damned dokkaebi,

and because of the cursed constellations that enjoy watching us…

dance to their tune."

Arthur silently looked at the ssages that appeared before him.

{Constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband is watching you silently}

{Constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is looking at you with sadness and pain}

{Constellation Miracle Narrator tells you that Yi Shun is still alive}

Arthur's eyes widened suddenly.

"What…?

You're saying he's alive?

Tell now!"

"Arthur? What's happening?"

"There's a constellation saying Yi Shun is still alive!"

"Who?"

"Miracle Narrator… or sothing like that. It doesn't matter!

What matters is… where is he?

Please, tell !"

{Constellation Miracle Narrator says: Are you willing to take as your personal sponsor if I tell you?}

"Yes."

Arthur answered without hesitation, without thought, without any regret.

{Constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband looks at Miracle Narrator with hatred and anger}

{Constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is angry at Miracle Narrator's ethics}

"I don't have ti!

I'll beco your subordinate… just tell where my brother is!"

{Constellation Miracle Narrator smiles as he looks at you and says:

Don't worry, I won't take a damned bastard like you who ca from ∆∆∆∆ as an incarnation.

As for Yi Shun… he is with the Wanderer Queen and Yoo Sangah, with Nirvana Moebius}

"Thank you."

The word left Arthur's mouth unconsciously.

He didn't think about what Miracle Narrator had said,

didn't care about the insults,

didn't care about the constellations.

All he wanted…

was to tell Kim Dokja.

Arthur turned—

And in that mont…

He saw Yoo Joonghyuk delivering a massive strike toward Kim Dokja.

An unbelievable strike.

Kim Dokja's body slamd into the ground with force…

and he fell unconscious.
