Chapter 43
Emergency situation.
All the students had gathered in one room.
“So you’re saying that the Black Blade Twin Demons captured Mok Dan-hwa, Min Yu-hyang, and Baek Mi-ryeong?”
Yeon U-gyeong asked Yeom Ja-ryang.
Perhaps because they had been traveling together for quite some time, most of the students now spoke casually to each other.
Of course, there were still some cases like Yeon U-gyeong and Mok Dan-hwa who ambiguously used honorifics.
Yeon U-gyeong and Yeom Ja-ryang had originally used formal speech with each other, but at some point they had become close enough to drop honorifics.
That didn’t mean they had good feelings toward each other though.
Yeom Ja-ryang nodded.
“Yes. There was no other way. It was Mok Dan-hwa who gave the signal to flee first.”
“What’s the possibility that those female students safely escaped?”
“None. If we’re lucky, maybe one of them could have made it.”
“Why are you so certain?”
“The Black Blade Twin Demons’ subordinates chased after me. But they personally went after those girls. Those bastards seemed much stronger in martial arts than we knew, and they had more numbers too.”
Yeon U-gyeong quietly closed his mouth and fell into thought.
Things had gone wrong again.
At least Mok Dan-hwa’s group had succeeded in getting kidnapped as intended.
But that was only if they could escape on their own.
At this rate, Mok Dan-hwa’s group might actually fall into real danger.
Of course, this would certainly mean Sa Bigang would face disciplinary action, but putting them in danger was outside his calculations.
The students were murmuring anxiously.
“What should we do about this?”
“Where on earth are the instructors at a time like this?”
“This is really serious. To think the Black Blade Twin Demons were such strong bastards.”
Then Gok Bo-ok shouted.
“You idiots. How can you accomplish anything being so cowardly? We should go and rescue the kidnapped students right now!”
“But didn’t you hear what Ja-ryang said? Those bastards have more numbers than we thought. And they’re strong too.”
Cho Mun-tak countered.
Gok Bo-ok shouted again.
“Hmph, what great things do you expect to accomplish with such a weak heart? Those who agree with my opinion, raise your hands.”
Contrary to expectations, the students couldn’t readily raise their hands.
Now that the safety net of instructors was gone, the terror of the martial world hit them like a cold reality.
They were all new to the martial world.
They had zero real combat experience.
Imagining something in your head and fighting a life-or-death battle were completely different things.
The Black Blade Twin Demons had now established themselves as tremendous beings in their minds.
“Tch! Where the hell did the instructors go? Why aren’t they showing up? Don’t tell me they abandoned us and ran away?”
At Gok Bo-ok’s grumbling, the students trembled with even more anxiety and whispered among themselves.
Dan Li-jeong turned to look at Yeom Ja-ryang.
“What do you think? You’re the only one among us who has fought them.”
Everyone’s gaze turned to Yeom Ja-ryang.
Yeom Ja-ryang frowned and stared quietly at the floor.
The Black Blade Twin Demons are strong.
Though he had only blocked a single strike, he could fully feel that they were strong.
If the one who threw the blade at him had attacked with serious intent, he would have died on the spot.
But for students to band together and go after them?
It was ridiculous.
Even if they won by some miracle, the damage to the students wouldn’t be trivial.
There would be multiple casualties.
Even if the instructor came then, it would be too late.
Having steeled his resolve, Yeom Ja-ryang spoke.
“I’m sorry to say this about the kidnapped students, but… let’s not act rashly for now. Those bastards weren’t opponents we could handle without taking any damage. It would be better to wait until the instructor returns.”
“I agree.”
“I’m in favor too.”
The students raised their hands one after another in agreement.
Yeon U-gyeong shrugged and stood up from his seat.
“Well, if everyone’s opinion is like that, there’s nothing we can do. We have no choice but to wait until the instructor comes.”
He opened the door and left the room.
Yeon U-gyeong’s lips twisted subtly as he walked down the corridor.
‘I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this. But with this, the instructor is truly cornered.’
His expression was closer to a smile.
***
Thump. Thump. Thump!
It was a heart as large as an adult’s torso.
Though it writhed as if alive, it couldn’t be considered a living creature.
It was simply pulsation due to muscle relaxation and contraction.
Like how a beheaded person’s heart beats for a while afterward.
The fact that it had traveled dimensions along with the barrier was proof of this.
However, since Dragon Heart possessed an enormous amount of mana, it maintained its pulsation for much longer.
Even the blood on the heart didn’t easily coagulate.
It was full of vitality as if it had just been pulled from a dragon’s chest.
Thump. Thump. Thump…!
Sa Bigang’s heart beat at the same rhythm as the Dragon Heart.
Sa Bigang took a deep breath and climbed onto the stone table.
A thrill ran through him.
‘Now I just need to eat this…!’
He slowly reached out his hand.
A squishy foreign sensation.
At the same time, he felt a firm pulsation beating upward.
‘I still can’t get used to this.’
The joy of finding the Dragon Heart was brief, and the smile faded from his lips.
This wasn’t the first time he had seen a Dragon Heart.
He had taken Dragon Heart when he was in the Demon Realm too.
But it was a memory he didn’t want to recall.
What you gain from successfully taking Dragon Heart is truly precious, but the process is too painful.
First, the agony of having to eat this huge heart raw without cooking it was beyond imagination.
He couldn’t vomit even a little while eating.
Even if his stomach felt like it would burst, he had to force himself to eat it all.
‘Damn it! I already resolved to do this. Let’s just get on with it.’
Having steeled his resolve, Sa Bigang lifted up the metal box and came down to the floor.
He plopped down right there and stuck his hand into the box.
Squish!
Rip!
Muscles and sinews tore away as part of the heart came into Sa Bigang’s hand.
Chew chew. Chomp chomp.
Sa Bigang frantically chewed the piece of heart in his hand, then squeezed his eyes shut and gulped it down.
‘Ugh!’
He couldn’t savor the taste.
Before that taste could embed itself in his mind, he had to move his hands first and eat it as quickly as possible.
Rip rip rip!
This time he tore off a slightly larger piece and brought it to his mouth.
Chew chew. Chomp chomp chomp. Chomp chomp.
Gulp!
Rip rip rip!
Chew chew. Chomp chomp chomp. Chomp chomp!
Gulp!
Sa Bigang continued tearing apart and devouring the Dragon Heart without rest.

“I’ll enjoy this meal. Hehe.”
Left Demon licked his lips and grinned lecherously.
He slimy licked the nape of the naked woman’s neck in front of him.
“Hnngh!”
The woman trembled with shame and fear.
“Hehehe. What a nice sound.”
Left Demon, who had climbed on top of the woman’s belly, began loosening his lower garments.
The woman just stared blankly, shedding tears.
Just then, Right Demon, who had been raping another woman right next to them, turned around and asked.
“Left Demon, when are we going to eat those girls?”
“Let’s think about it after we finish eating all of these women first.”
“Right. We should save the delicious stuff for later.”
“That’s exactly what I was thinking, Right Demon.”
“Right, right. And that girl over there is mine. Don’t forget, Left Demon.”
“Got it. But the other two are mine, Right Demon.”
“Kukuku. Good, good.”
Right Demon continued his business while grinning lecherously at Mok Dan-hwa trapped in the iron cage.
Inside the cave, Mok Dan-hwa, Min Yu-hyang, and Baek Mi-ryeong, trapped in iron cages, looked at the Black Blade Twin Demons with faces pale as death.
‘I thought about this too easily! These bastards are too strong!’
Mok Dan-hwa’s expression hardened.
There was no need to use the Blood Clot Pills.
They had been able to subdue them sufficiently without even targeting pressure points.
“Dan-hwa, what should we do now?”
“I’m honestly so scared.”
Min Yu-hyang and Baek Mi-ryeong’s eyes even welled up with tears.
Mok Dan-hwa bit her lips tightly and glared at the Black Blade Twin Demons.
Those bastards were busy raping women in their unsightly nakedness.
They were mistaking the women’s pained moans as moans of pleasure.
“Kukukuku! Moan some more!”
“Feel more excitement! Haa!”
Mok Dan-hwa looked at them with a disgusted expression and suddenly shouted.
“Hey!”
“Huff, huff. Huh?”
Right Demon, who had been thrusting vigorously, raised his head and looked at Mok Dan-hwa.
“If, if you release us now, we’ll pretend this never happened!”
“Eh? What such disappointing words. If we pretend it never happened, then I can’t eat you.”
“You bastards! Do you know who I am and still act like this? I’m Mok Dan-hwa of the Flash Sword Mok Family!”
“Hehehe! I know, I know. That’s why it’s even more exciting. I never thought the day would come when I could fuck the young lady of the Flash Sword Mok Family in my lifetime. Kukukuku.”
“Aren’t you even afraid of death?”
“Kukuku. Didn’t I tell you? If we were afraid of death, would we live doing bad things? As long as I can fuck you for one day, I’d have no regrets even if I died tomorrow. Kukuku.”
At Right Demon’s words, the faces of Mok Dan-hwa and the other students grew even paler.
Mok Dan-hwa bit her trembling lips tightly.
‘These people. They’re not in their right minds. They’re crazy with lust!’
Whether he knew her thoughts or not, Right Demon grinned and continued speaking.
“Pretty little puppy. Just wait a little. I’ll put a collar that suits you perfectly soon. A bitch like you should crawl on all fours to look proper. Kukukuku.”
Mok Dan-hwa staggered backward and collapsed with a thud.
This was the first time in her life she had felt such terror.
‘I’m, I’m scared…!’
But her pride wouldn’t allow her to show such feelings.
She gritted her teeth as much as possible and endured.
Left Demon giggled.
“Right Demon. Don’t scare her too much. What if she pisses herself?”
“Huh? That would be good too. Let’s see the bitch piss herself naked, us.”
“Kukuku. Right Demon is such a pervert.”
“You’re the same, Left Demon.”
“Kukukuku. That’s true.”
Right Demon looked at Mok Dan-hwa and grinned lecherously.
“Bitch. Show us you pissing on all fours in a little while. Lifting one leg up.”
“Kukukuku. Right Demon. Lifting one leg when pissing is what male dogs do. Bitches just squat and piss.”
“Whatever. Just piss as we tell you to.”
The Black Blade Twin Demons drooled and laughed.
‘I’m, I’m going to throw up. I, I hate this! This kind of thing…!’
Mok Dan-hwa covered her ears with a face pale as death.
***
‘Ugh… I hate this. This kind of thing…! I really feel like throwing up…!’
Sa Bigang covered his mouth with a face pale as death.
His belly was swollen like it would burst.
It seemed like he could really die from his stomach bursting at this rate.
“Uurp, kuek!”
Nausea surged up.
In an instant, he quickly covered his mouth and forced down what had risen to his throat.
‘No! This is the end now! Just endure a little! Just a little!’
His body shuddered involuntarily.
Writhe. Writhe. Writhe.
In the box remained a heart the size of a fist.
It was the last one after eating everything else.
He wanted to rest even a little, but he couldn’t break his breathing rhythm.
The longer the eating time took, the lower the absorption rate.
Therefore, Sa Bigang was eating as quickly as possible.
‘Now, this is the last one!’
Sa Bigang picked up the last remaining heart and brought it to his mouth.
Chew chew! Chomp chomp chomp! Chomp chomp!
Gulp!
“Grrrk!”
Sa Bigang finally let out a long burp and sprawled out lying down.
His belly swelled up like Mount Tai.
“Huff, huff, huff! Damn it, let’s see if I ever do this again!”
He spat words into the air, not knowing to whom he was speaking.
His stomach felt like it would burst, making it hard to even move.
After taking deep breaths for a long while, Sa Bigang grinned.
“Now, you should come out.”
To whom was he speaking?
Just then.
A red aura began emanating thickly from his entire body.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
A tremendous energy violently swirled while causing a massive explosion that devastated the surroundings.
