Tombs (2)

"How many days has it been"

Eun-woo asked Acedia as he had finally learned to circulate divine aura properly and fast enough to react against him.

"I won't answer your question until you land a solid punch on any part of my body, to be fair I've only used around five percent of my actual power since I based it on the minute amount of divinity you have"

"You!"

As Eun-woo was about to speak he instantly ducked Acedia's punch and flipped backwards to dodge the knee coming towards his face he then noticed that Acedia would be kicking his back next and pushed himself from the ground while he was backflipping.

"I'm not done."

Acedia instantly followed Eun-woo mid-air, as he was vulnerable he kicked Eun-woo but was met with a small piece of Ice that blocked half of the power of his strike, He then lunged towards Eun-woo aiming for his face.

Luxuria watched above and saw that it was a clean hit, but what happened next wondered how far Eun-woo had mastered [ Everfrost ] as Acedia punched an Ice statue instead.

"What a cute trick"

Acedia closed his eyes then his eyes turned green and instantly punched the ground below.

"There you are!"

Acedia grabbed Eun-woo and threw him upwards he then punched his stomach only to find it was another life like Ice puppet, he then landed back to ground to see the area was now covered with a thick fog.

"I see"

Acedia then felt a punch coming and blocked it but as soon as he caught it, it was suppressing his force.

Luxuria widened her eyes as he saw Eun-woo's right arm was glowing a violet gold hue.

"Old man if you don't up your power at least up to twenty percent you're gonna get the beat down of your life!"

Luxuria yelled but it was too late for Acedia as Eun-woo finally made his move and kicked him in the groin.

"You took on a male form so I won't hold back!"

Acedia groaned as he didn't expect Eun-woo would be that dirty his grip on Eun-woo was getting weaker allowing him to break free.

"I win old man!"

Acedia smiled as Eun-woo's cocked his punch backwards with all his might, his fist was getting nearer to his face.

Eun-woo finally thought he was getting out of this hell as he didn't know how long had passed and concentrated dark cosmic energy and divine aura on his punch but.

"All right enough games."

The Old man was no longer frail and his upper clothes were now in tatters revealing his muscular figure as Eun-woo was blown away by his sudden increase in power, Acedia cracked his neck then his knuckles as he looked at Eun-woo who was standing up from afar.

"Screw you!"

Acedia laughed as he directly went for Eun-woo punching him in the chin sending him flying again.

"Hey be careful!"

Luxuria yelled as he saw Acedia was enjoying himself and Eun-woo trying his best to survive.

-

"How long has he been there?"

Park Han-gyeol asked Park Ji-hyun as they were observing the tomb outside.

"Don't worry it's only been two weeks, only two more weeks left before we start panicking if he's still alive, considering how much confidence he had he's probably alive"

"What is it with you siblings and dangerous tombs, first You raided on your own when you were young and returned after two months, next was Seung-ho trying to prove that he could survive on his own, now it's this brat's turn, where did I go wrong in raising you three"

"Probably it had something to do with mom"

Park Han-gyeol flinched at the mere mention of his wife's name and didn't say anything else, he coughed and looked at the monitor in front of him.

"So they've finally responded"

"It took them two weeks, numerous guilds, various guidelines to be changed, and public opinion to revoke Eun-woo's suspension"

"All this ruckus just for a mere revocation of his suspension, I don't get what you young people are thinking nowadays and don't bother explaining I'm here only to checkup on you two since your mother told me to"

"Has anyone told you you're a bad liar?"

"I guess your mother would count."

"Just wait, if it took me two months to return from a solo raid and Seung-ho took two and a half months then with Eun-woo's talent I doubt he'll ever need two months, besides consider it as a family tradition that Mom started."

Park Han-gyeol sighed and continued looking at the monitor, Ji-hyun's eyes flashed red as she looked at the tomb's entrance via the monitor, she then had a smile and stretched her back as her eyes returned to normal.

-

"Damn You"

"Now now where was all that happiness and cockiness gone to?"

Acedia went near a backed up Eun-woo who was holding his broken arm with blood running down from his arm and mouth.

"Why am I fighting a divinity this early in my life shouldn't you guys at least manifest a demon general or something?"

"Funny how Luxuria said that you liked beating the crap out people weaker than you"

"I did it to survive this cursed world"

Eun-woo muttered under his breath as he felt his left lung had been punctured awhile back, he was catching his breath, he then looked at Acedia who then punched his gut once more knocking the air out of him.

"I couldn't hear you, speak louder"

Acedia stepped back as he looked at the unconscious Eun-woo who had fallen to the ground, he then looked at Luxuria who was watching from above as he scratched his cheek.

"Did I overdo it?"

Luxuria shook her head and stopped writing and took out a sheathed sword that were in chains, she then looked like she pitied someone, Acedia thought it was for Eun-woo.

"I told you earlier to at least go up to twenty percent, now you're gonna have to deal with what's coming next."

Acedia then looked at Eun-woo who was standing up, he then saw how there was now a golden violet hue aura emanating from him, he saw a mysterious sword appear in front of him, he then looked back at Luxuria who now only held the sheath and that the chains were now broken.

"I tried my best suppressing his damned sword without breaking it but it still broke through my seal"

"A sword that can break a divinities seal interesting"

As Acedia was about to look at Eun-woo what happened next frightened him, the sword formed into a dark glowing sphere and entered into Eun-woo's body, His pupil turned into a golden slit and his iris now devoid of any hue of blue started transforming into a violet hue.

"You didn't say anything about this brat tran-"

His felt a tight grip on his head and was thrown onto the air, before Acedia could react he saw Eun-woo was on top of him already, one of his arms had turned into an ice blade while another turned into a blade of malevolent energy.

Acedia crossed his arms to cover his body he soon felt stings on his arms as Eun-woo kept slashing his body, he laughed as he hasn't been injured by a champion like this before but he then felt his mouth had been smashed.

The two created a crater as they crashed onto the ground, Eun-woo was atop Acedia's body and continued pummelling him with reckless abandon as he unconsciously merged his divine aura and dark energy into one each time he struck Acedia in the face.

Eun-woo then summoned a disfigured Murasame that was now made out of unknown energy, he raised the sword and struck down on Acedia who was laughing as his face was full of blood.

As Eun-woo was about to strike down on Acediam, Luxuria caught the sword creating a shockwave, shortly after Eun-woo fell unconscious and Luxuria caught him.

Luxuria healed Eun-woo and placed him on her laps as Acedia stood up and regenerated his body back to full capacity instantly.

"He packs quite a punch"

"I told you to not look down on him lightly, well it seems you've had your fun, and so did this brat"

"It's my loss, he almost forced me to awaken my aura if you didn't catch his sword"

"Even if you did awaken your aura in time you're precious reserves would be cut in half, luckily I saw this would happen in advance and prepared another seal just in case he would go on a rampage"

"Can he control it?"

"He can, it's just happened that sword took control at the last moment since his body couldn't handle the amount of energy he had absorbed thus the sword became the conduit and managed it for him thus making him unstable, I doubt it'll happen again as the sword finally agreed to wholeheartedly serve him and engraved itself onto his very soul, unless he's in danger like today it probably won't move pull a stunt like that."

"What a good sword it is, I now want to know how he got it"

Luxuria threw a book at Acedia's direction.

"This is the story of how he got those annoying Ice spells you despised"

"Interesting"

"Just wait till he finishes it, he rarely tells how he got some of his fraudulent skills"

"Speaking of fraudulent skills"

Luxuria looked at Acedia who laughed and sighed, Luxuria patted Eun-woo's head as Acedia sat in front of them.

"Don't tell any of the other divinities yet, his body is still processing it"

"How much did you give him to inherit, to think you would let him inherit your one and most precious skill along with numerous ones to boot to him without much thought and how much have you given your aura to him."

"I've given it much thought"

Acedia looked at the solemn Luxuria who was running her fingers through Eun-woo's hair.

"He's the last one, he's the one I'm pinning all my hopes on, he's my last child after all."

"Mm, too bad my divinity is incompatible with this brat, I would have also given him everything I have left"

"It won't be long Acedia, once everything is over we can all be finally at peace, I just hope it won't come too soon nor too late, I want to see him grow up first."

"There you again, I guess her death must have actually hit you hard"

Acedia then stood up, he then channeled his energy and created a glowing green sphere, the green sphere then entered the ring Eun-woo had received from Luxuria.

"Though he's not compatible with my energy doesn't mean his compatible with my skills, tell him I'm sorry for overdoing things and I'll see you guys around"

Acedia then returned to his old frail body and created new clothes as he left the two.

"This stinky old man"

-

"Are we not going to force our way now?"

"What's gotten into the both of you? Tomorrow is the deadline besides there's still a day left."

Ji-hyun calmed Seung-ho and Han-gyeol as they looked ready to raid the tomb, while Song Ye-jun was drinking tea along with Ji-hyun.

"Sit down the both of you"

The two listened to Song Ye-jun but they still looked at the tomb's entrance anxiously, shortly after the entranced glowed as Song Ye-jun had a smile on her face.

"Ji-hyun call the media now, Seung-ho don't punch your brother once he sets foot hold it until tomorrow, and you Han-gyeol sit down"

The three of them listened as Song Ye-jun stood up and waited in front of the entrance, they could then faintly see Eun-woo come out, he then threw a ring towards Ji-hyun and nodded, he then noticed his mother was in front of him just as he was about to hug her he felt his stomach was punched and his ear was grabbed by her.

"You've got lot's of explaining to do young man, I hope you won't disappoint me tomorrow"

Eun-woo chuckled and followed after his mother and nodded at Seung-ho who looked stern as ever and waved at his father who rolled his eyes.
