— Chapter 311 —
After Yunlong sent the children of Dragonborn’s project to his mother, he sat on a rock with a cold expression on his face.
Re-Destro approached from afar and asked, “Boss, what happened here-?”
He was obviously stunned because Yunlong emitted such a cold pressure from his body, an intense bloodlust rolling everywhere on the Sun and Moon’s mining camp.
Re-Destro sees a manifestation of a grim reaper in the air, waving the enormous scythe around the corpse. He trembled because his well-being was affected by this.
“Yaksha Mirror: Copy.”
Re-Destro doesn’t let this chance go and uses his martial soul’s ability. Five identical mirrors around 2 meters in height and wide appear around him.
A tiger shadow occupied the first mirror, and the second one was a fiery bird, leaving three with no image.
Yunlong was thinking deeply about something, ignoring Re-Destro’s action at the moment.
Re-Destro stared at the grim reaper solemnly and said, “Third Mirror.”
He immediately fell to the ground, and the third mirror gradually was filled with Grim Reaper’s image. A bloodlust awfully weaker than Yunlong somehow was displayed by Re-Destro, but then a scythe appears in his hand.
“What are you doing?” Yunlong glanced at Re-Destro.
“I-I tried to copy your bloodlust skill, boss,” Re-Destro answered while groaning in pain. “It’s my martial soul’s innate ability.”
“Even though I cannot gain any skill from Spirit Ring, I can copy others by looking at them.”
Yunlong moved his gaze to the Grim Reaper’s manifestation from Apex Murderer’s Passive.
He doesn’t care about Re-Destro’s copying this because anyone can have this perk after killing more than 100k lives.
‘Well, it’s a shortcut in a way.’ Yunlong thought while shaking his head.
He pulled back his bloodlust and asked, “Does your innate ability have a limit?”
Re-Destro nodded a little and answered truthfully, “I can’t copy others’ ability that doesn’t match myself, like Geten’s ice manipulation.”
“In short, Yaksha Mirror only allowed me to copy abilities that reflect myself.”
“Sorry, Boss!” I should have asked for your permission, but your bloodlust manifested is too perfect for me.”
“Is that so?” Yunlong commented while observing the so-called Yaksha Mirror. It’s a powerful and rare tool-type martial, and he decided to store the copy inside his Thousand Miracle’s Treasury.
“Well, let’s check the mines.” He jumped off the rock.
They walked to the main building and knocked on the front door casually. Even though Yunlong was quite angry because of the Dragonborn’s project, he still had to focus on destroying this place.
There is no response.
“Huh, how rude of them for not greeting us,” Yunlong instructed Re-Destro to back off a few steps.
“At least say hello, you fucker!”
[Space-Shattering Strikes]
Yunlong lifted his leg and kicked the heavy metal door.
BOOM!
Everything behind the heavy metal door was destroyed by the sheer force of Yunlong’s kick, leaving a clean path for him to walk in.
He stepped into the building and felt several lasers pointed at his body. He looked up and saw a camera with a blinking green light
— Camera Room —
“HE’S HERE!” A man in a black suit shouted.
“Everyone, prepare yourself!”
Five more people panicked in the control room with terrified looks on their pale faces. They thought the Northern’s Mine would be a safe place.
Who would have thought a “Monster.” would come to their front door?
“W-What about the internal barrier?” A woman in her white lab jacket suddenly asked. “He shouldn’t be able to pass through, right?”
“After all, the home base created it to withstand 9th class bomb from marine corps.”
BOOM! Crack!
Everything inside the control room suddenly trembled, and their knees bent weirdly, causing all of them to fall onto the floor.
The gravity increased by ten folds, causing some of their bones to crack under pressure.
[Spatial Manipulation: Gravity’s Pressure]
“Found you.” Yunlong punched the door on the control room and pulled the whole thing apart from the frame.
He threw the door away and walked into the room, creating horror and tension for everyone.
A wild grin slowly appeared on his cold face.
“I haven’t used this for a while, but stare at my eyes…”
The man in a black suit was the first one who gazed at Yunlong’s Sharingan, falling into his illusion.
“Be as brutal as possible…”
“Don’t hold back.”
“Pennywise.”
As Yunlong instructed such a cold command, the man in a black suit began to tremble violently. A bubble was forming in his wide gape-open mouth.
Man in a black suit Pov-
I stared at the crimson eyes and felt everything changing around me. It’s completely dark with no speck of light.
“Hehehe!” A horrible laugh tickled my ears.
“Tik… ToK!”
A frightening clown jumped right in front of my face.
“Step right up! Step right up!”
“Have you got any change?”
“No? Then, Come float! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry.
“You’ll cheer, and you’ll DIE!”
The clown laughed maniacally at me, salivas showering my pale face.
I wanted to run but couldn’t move for some reason.
I wanted to fight back, but my spirit energy didn’t show up.
Everything was not making sense to me, but I sure was afraid of this awful creature. This clown isn’t human. He’s my nightmare.
“P-Please, spare my life.” I squeezed the last effort to survive from my throat.
“Oho?” The clown rotated his head 360 and stared at me in amusement. His flesh obviously was torn, spraying blood everywhere.
“What’s life for you?”
“Breathing till you die?”
“Or die before anyone takes your breath?”
“No, no, non!”
“Let me show you,” He continued with a shit-eating grin. “Your greatest nightmare!”
“I’m every nightmare you’ve ever had. I’m your worst dream come true. I’m everything you ever were afraid of.”
“Tatata!”
“Introducing me! Pennywise the Dancing Clown!”
Dark yet muddy water fell from the sky and drowned me to nothingness.
I could feel something crawling under my skin.
My eyes are bleeding, but I can’t close them.
It’s dark.
It’s quiet.
I can’t breathe.
Please, someone, help me.
.
.
Original Pov.
Yunlong ignored the man in a black suit’s misery because he basically became an idiot. It’s been exactly one year inside an illusion, which means Pennywise has a fair share of enjoyment from this man.
A dread is birthing fear.
A nightmare is a manifestation of fear itself.
And having one is game over in front of Pennywise.
“Itachi sure is soft-hearted when it comes to illusion.” He said while waving his hand to the nearest person who had authority over this control room.
The woman in a white lab coat coughed because her neck suddenly was gripped by Yunlong.
“Oh, I know you,” Yunlong said with a chuckle.
“Dr. Hong.”
“The left guardian of Dragonborn’s project.”
The woman shivered when hearing her name from him. She closed her eyes and activated something from her coat.
“Well, that’s something.” Yunlong grasped her eyelids and pulled them off.
“ARGHHH!”
“MY SKINS!” Her eyes are wide open now.
“Oh, come on~.” Yunlong’s Sharingan stared at her dead-straight in the eyeballs. “Don’t be a drama queen.”
“You’re enjoying the children’s cry every day, no?”
“Bleeding a little shouldn’t be painful for you.”
Dr. Hong entered Yunlong’s illusion and extracted every piece of information in her head, leaving nothing but extreme trauma.
“Everyone deserves a second chance, but you’re a sad exception.” He tightened his grip, destroying her neck.
Crack!
[You have killed a Spirit Emperor]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]
[You have devoured Dr. Hong’s soul]
[You have gained [Physical Alterations] Skill]
[You have acquired [Thousand-Faced Cat] Martial soul]
“Now, what about the rest of you..?” Yunlong turned around with a smile on his face. It was the gentlest smile he could do, but it’s somehow more terrifying in this situation.
.
.
A few minutes later, Re-Destro arrived at the control room with a weird expression. His boss abruptly disappeared from the front door.
“Hmm?” He looked at Yunlong, who walked out of the control room.
Yunlong wiped the blood off his hand with a handkerchief and glanced at Re-Destro. “Oh, you’re sooner than I expected.” He said while throwing the white cloth into nothingness.
“I’ll go down and check the mines.” He added, leaving Re-Destro speechless.
Re-Destro watched Yunlong walking away from the control room and curiously checked what happened inside.
“Blergh…”
He vomited his lunch profusely onto the floor. His eyes widened in disbelief because this scene in front of him was worse than any serial killer’s case in history.
It’s disturbing that even a Bad guy like Re-Destro has to question his evil nature.
“T-Thanks, god,” He whispered while wiping his mouth. “We are not enemies anymore.”
“I can’t imagine myself winning.”
“He’s either a kindful god or an immoral devil in the flesh.”
Sieg met with Yunlong on the way to the elevator and flatly reported, “I’ve cleared the area.”
“Good job,” Yunlong responded with a nod.
There is a sense of satisfaction in Sieg’s artificial heart.
As he bluntly was created by Kyudai Garaki to serve Yunlong, receiving praise from him is better than any food in the world.
Well, Sieg was programmed that way. It’s written in every inch of his blood and flesh.
Yunlong stabbed his chest, but no blood came out, pulling an armor martial soul for Sieg.
“Absorb that,” He commanded naturally. “Your body should be able to handle two martial souls.”
“Kyudai reported your progress to me, after all.”
Sieg stared at the floating ball of light and grasped it with his hand, feeling a warm sensation wrapping his entire body. His Spirit Rank 51 soared to 56 instantly.
“Follow me… There is a good place for you to practice below this building,” Yunlong said while opening an elevator.
Sieg breathed in to stabilize his body because receiving a new martial soul takes a toll on his endurance. It’s hard to explain, but Dr. Kyudai said his soul was artificially made, so having external influence changed him a lot.
He barely had muscle with a skinny body months ago, but after receiving Greatsword martial soul and training intensely, everything transformed explosively for him.
They dropped the lowest part of the mines’ site and found a large group of people mining rare minerals. These people have machinery and safety equipment but wore a red-gemmed collar on their necks.
The same collar used for controlling Bo Saixi, but inferior in quality.
Yunlong didn’t show emotion and spotted a muscular man in platinum knight armor.
“Spirit Saint.”
“Sieg, kill that guy.” He commanded indifferently.
“Okay.” Sieg nodded and immediately jumped to the platinum armored knight.
Yunlong slapped his hand onto the wall and quickly scanned the underground mine with Aura: Observation, grasping every single structure.
A handkerchief appeared on his palm and floated in the air.
“Scatters.”
“Reinforcement.”
“Stab them.” Yunlong controlled over one thousand needles to stab red-gemmed collars. Yeah, there are so many labor workers here.
These people were from a small continent between the Douluo Continent and the Sun and Moon Continent.
They were captured and used to mine this place. It’s been months of torture for them, and they are finally free today.
Bam!
Sieg landed on a metal pipe and threw a bloodied head to the floor near Yunlong. “Done.” He said calmly.
Yunlong closed his eyes and commented, “Well, creating an army of the homunculus is a good decision.”
“Tell Kyudai that everything in this place is under his control now.”
“Also, give these people a place to live.”
“Now, I have to report this to the original.” He created a simple hand sign.
Poof!
Yunlong exploded into a cloud of smoke, leaving Sieg alone in the underground.
“So cool…” Sieg muttered while looking at the cloud of smoke.
.
.
At the Icy Mountain Range.
Yunlong and Chu Xiaoyu sat near a flowing river. There is a natural hot spring, so the river is not affected by the cold weather.
“Mom usually brought me here to clean ourselves.” Chu Xiaoyu said while leaning her head on Yunlong’s shoulders.
“That sounds good,” Yunlong responded with a smile.
Chu Xiaoyu nodded and nervously added, “Um, do you want to take a bath together?”
He didn’t expect such a question, but why not?
Yunlong chuckled a little and answered, “Sure.”
