As soon as my eyes opened, I let out a long sigh. I canât believe that even compared to my previous life my body feels healthiest to date.
âEuuhâŠâ
Raising my body, my shoulders felt stiff. Once I took off my clothes, surprisingly my injuries werenât that severe. I must have received prompt treatment before.
I gingerly probed the red area of my injuries that had healed and suddenly looked up.
âWait, what happened to Aku Ryun?â
My last memory was that I pushed all my powers into Baekha. Thatâs all I could remember.
Since I had even poured my life energy into it and emptied my dantian, I immediately lost consciousness as I felt a twisted pain in my lower abdomen.
So I didnât know what happened to Aku Ryun and how he managed to evade the assassins. I knew nothing.
I began to recall Aku Ryunâs words before I entered the secret passageway.
âI donât even know myself why Iâm like this. I could just let you be. But when I was about to do that.. I couldnât. I really couldnât.â
I knew well that if I returned I would just become baggage to Aku Ryun. I also knew the rational decision instead would be going down to the village and asking for help.
But I couldnât do that.
Like Aku Ryun couldnât explain why he did such things, I too did the unexplainable. Even though I knew I wouldnât help, I couldnât leave him alone.
âMaybe while he was trying to save me something bad happenedâŠ?â
I shook my head as I was thinking those ominous thoughts.
