The destruction of Drakon and the rise of Shin Yeongdo

Shin Yeongdo's burning rage caused the universe to be shrouded in darkness. Black clouds began to cover the blue sky. Raindrops fell heavily followed by the sound of lightning striking each other.

The entire Joseon Dynasty was shrouded in a night mist that blurred the vision. All the people in this universe were terrified, because suddenly the world became pitch black as if all of them who were still alive, were punished by the angry Gods.

The surroundings were dark and eerie, with the old trees decaying and bending, creating eerie shadows in the faint moonlight.

The cold wind blew violently, making the atmosphere tense and chilling. Strange rumbling and swishing sounds also began to be heard from various angles, sending chills down the spine.

"Shin Yeongdo!!!" shouted Kang Taeshin angrily with a snarling voice full of wrath, "how dare you make the universe shrouded in darkness!"

"Whoever dares to make the illusory forest king Shin Yeongdo full of rage, he won't live much longer!"

Shin Yeongdo flew into the air. His body became enlarged like a giant. Above the sky, his entire body emitted fiery red flames that enveloped his entire body. His eyes emitted a dark light, his strength tripled.

The giant towered high, as high as the mountains that rose in the sky. Its huge, muscular body was filled with rough, thorny curves. His skin was grayish, as if made of stone that had been eroded by time. His every step shook the earth, creating terrifying vibrations.

Shin Yeongdo's hands were also like huge claws capable of crushing anything it touched. His long, sharp nails glittered in the sunlight, threatening to tear apart anything that dared to stand in his way. When she raised her massive arm, a sinister shadow formed beneath it, creating a deep sense of dread.

Seeing the darkness enveloping this universe, Bai Lu, who was fighting with the Drakon, briefly looked up into the sky where there was an old grandfather, who suddenly turned into a black-eyed monster that glowed in the darkness.

"What is this?"

Too focused on seeing Shin Yeongdo's figure, Bai Lu didn't realize that the Drakon had attacked him, causing him to fall down and hit a tree so hard that his mouth was oozing fresh blood.

"What's going on? Why is the universe shrouded in darkness?"

Bai Lu tried to endure the pain of her tightening chest. He wiped the fresh blood out of his mouth with his right hand, and tried to get up to look at his surroundings.

"Use your mind, your eyes, your hearing and your heart, future Han Yuram."

Bai Lu suddenly heard the voice of Han Yuram from the Joseon Dynasty again.

"How, Yuram?"

"Think calmly. Do not let your fear shackle you. Do not let the world of darkness haunt this universe. Remember, you are a Jeonsa goljjagi, the ruler of Halla mountain. You are also a Haneunim uju."

"I can't think straight, Yuram. I . . ."

"Ask Fire Bird for help. She's already your best friend!"

"But, Yuram!! Yuram~shii, don't go!"

Han Yuram's voice could no longer be heard. The drakon who saw Bak Lu off guard immediately attacked him from behind, knocking him back down.

"How dare you attack me from behind! You've awakened the sleeping lion!"

Bai Lu summoned his Hayeongsan sword again. Because the Drakon had aroused his anger, his strength tripled. His entire body was enveloped by a bluish-colored immortal light, which appeared to be the epitome of pure love.

The figure of Haneunim uju within him began to appear. His eyes emitted a blue-colored light that was extremely dazzling to the eyes, making it difficult for Drakon to attack Bai Lu.

"What is that? What is that light?" shouted Drakon who was getting overwhelmed by Haneunim uju's immortal light.

"I, Han Yuram who is a Haneunim Uju, will make you die a horrible death with just one step of my foot!" shouted Bai Lu who began to fly in the sky.

Bai Lu raised his right hand so high that it made his right palm emit a bright yellow beam of light. As her foot began to step, she stomped on the Drakon with a single step, causing the giant's body to split in two.

The Drakon's body and head separated, and the Drakon's gruesome death caused the black liquid that oozed out of its body to flow like river water that had suddenly turned into clear water, as if from the source of life.

"I return you to where you came from. The place where you were created, Drakon."

Bai Lu closed her eyes. The separated pieces of Drakon's body disappeared. He looked back up at the sky that was still dark. The entire universe was truly struck by such a tremendous misfortune. It was like an apocalypse for the people of this earth.

"What should I do, Han Yuram?"

"You have awakened the Haneunim uju in you, the future Yuram. You must truly understand me, merge with my body and soul. Remember, use your mind, your eyes, your hearing and your heart."

Bai Lu really didn't understand what Han Yuram from the past was saying to her. What could he do with his mind, eyes and hearing?

"Han Yuram!" someone shouted, making Bai Lu turn around and stare at the source of the voice.

"Kang Taeshin? Are you okay?"

Bai Lu ran straight to Taeshin and looked Taeshin's body up and down.

"I'm fine. You managed to defeat Drakon?"

Bai Lu nodded his head and glanced at the artificial river with clear-looking water, flowing so fast.

"You made the Drakon into this artificial river?" asked Kang Taeshin incredulously and looking so amazed.

"Yes, I did. The Haneunim Uju in me just woke up in a moment of urgency. Now, what do we do, Taeshin? The universe is shrouded in an unusual darkness like this."

Taeshin gazed up into the sky and looked at Shin Yeongdo who was making the world dark, was shooting his lightning bolts at the forest, causing the tall trees to start falling down helplessly.

"I don't know, in a critical situation like this, I'm not thinking clearly."

"Wait. . . "

Bai Lu suddenly remembered something.

"What is it, Yuram~shii?"

"I can do it. And, you can too, Taeshin."

"What do you mean?" Taeshin looked at Bai Lu's face in confusion.

"You can turn things around, right? I heard it from Asahi, that you can turn things around."

"Yes, so what?" asked Taeshin still not understanding.

"I can stop time, Taeshin~shii. Both of us can restore the situation by temporarily stopping time. And, that can only be done by me, as well as you. Just the two of us."

Taeshin and Bai Lu exchanged glances. Was it possible for them to return things to the way they were?
