Chapter 110: Heaven


    Under a ck sky


    With eyes wide open, as if witnessing the unbelievable, the leaders head fell off with a thud.


    ck Heaven nced sideways and stroked the sealed ck Heavenly Demon Sword containing her soul.


    It seems I have roughly passed down my martial arts.


    She could sense the shock in Lee Seo-has emotions from afar. Surely, he must have felt the majesty of his self-proimed master. ck Heaven was inwardly satisfied with this.


    Time is running out.


    ck Heaven felt a pang of regret.


    But if she dyed further, even Lee Seo-has body, tempered by ck God Martial Arts, would struggle to endure. With a bitter smile, ck Heaven decided it was time to impart her final teachings to Lee Seo-ha.


    Thud.


    ck Heaven walked. Though it was Lee Seo-has body, the transcendent soul within greatly affected him.


    Long hair down to the waist. It would have been detestable for a man, but she quite liked this host body. Its rare beauty was the reason.


    Therefore, ck Heaven wanted to pass down one of her techniques.


    -What?


    Does he still not understand?


    ck Heaven felt regretful.


    -No, I need you to exin for me to understand.


    Now is not the time. Ill tell youter.


    -


    Lee Seo-ha seemed very angry inside. ck Heaven momentarily wondered, then shook her head.


    Master, I do not wish to lose you.


    -So you helped me.


    Yes. But if things continue this way, master might die soon, so I want to teach you.


    ck Heaven said, organizing her life in her head. Her memory was still blurry. The curse she had ced on herself in a previous life hadnt been lifted yet.


    When the time of Dominant Soul ends, she might lose even these memories.


    So, she needed to tell Lee Seo-ha.


    About the danger to his life, her master.


    Master, this is a matter rted to your life. Everything else is not as important.


    -What is it?


    Lee Seo-ha asked in a serious tone, contemting whether using the Energy of Defying Heaven severely shortened the users lifespan.


    Master, I will teach you how to handle women.


    -?


    Lee Seo-ha wore a nk expression at ck Heavens words.


    -Is that rted to my life?


    Yes. If we continue like this, your life is in danger.


    Lee Seo-ha sent an emotion of not understanding. ck Heaven smiled bitterly.


    She had experienced the same. Originally, she should have concentrated her inheritance in one ce, but due to the jealousy of women, her body was divided into 25 parts in a hurried measure.


    This slightly lowered the level of transcendence, but it was necessary for the future Heavenly Demon.


    ck Heavenughed bitterly. Seeing was believing. If one didnt experience it themselves, the story does not resonate.


    ck Heaven deliberately walked towards the two spared women, Witch Maiden and Seonghwi.


    [The charm of a Demonic Woman (A+) activates.]


    [Compassion (A) activates.]


    [You imnt demonic charm in the women. A superior-subordinate rtionship is established.]


    ck Heaven smiled suggestively.


    Seducing women for her was simple. Captivate them with her unique demonic () charm. Its even more potent than a subus enchanting a man. In the process, a clear hierarchical rtionship was established.


    There, you.


    ck Heaven smiled seductively and pointed at Seonghwi. Seonghwi looked at ck Heaven with a dazed expression. Inside, Lee Seo-ha felt nauseous.


    Yes, sister.


    Sister? Thats an interesting title.


    ck Heavenughed and stroked Seonghwis hair. Seonghwi blushed, not knowing what to do, as if seeing a real-life idol she had admired for three years.


    Did you say you were called the Witch Maiden?


    Yes, yes!


    The Witch Maiden looked at her with an expression full of admiration. ck Heaven looked at the two of them. They couldnt stay in the school. After all, these two belonged to a viinous group.


    Maybe I should gather my inheritance through them.


    Seonghwi was easily subdued by Lee Seo-ha without even a chance to resist, but that was because she was a master of illusion. Given the right circumstances, she could be a force capable of biting off the best of necks.


    The Witch Maiden straddled the line between high and top tier, just a few barriers away from stepping into the top tier.


    These two seemed to be quite useful for my disciple.


    Master.


    -Why?


    I havent told you one thing.


    -What is it?


    Dominant Soul is a power that defies logic in itself. I might fall into a deep sleep for a while.


    -Really?


    If ck Heaven was gone, did he have to train alone? Thats tough. Lee Seo-ha smiled bitterly.


    He should have tested the performance of Dominant Soul at least once.


    -Dont worry. I still have the summoning right of the stars, direct subordinates of the emperor. Nothing major will happen.


    Thats right. The Emperor is quite strong. If those stars are there, nothing major will happen.


    -Why do you both sound so calm? It makes it seem like something will definitely happen.


    Eternal Heaven panicked.


    Lee Seo-ha nodded.


    It will happen soon anyway. An enormous event will unfold once they arrive in America and the exchange meeting begins.


    A crazy event where half of the Vine War dies.


    I must prevent it at all costs.


    Not all of the Vine Divinities were friendly towards humanity.


    But most were. Their help was absolutely necessary.


    As Lee Seo-ha seriously pondered the future of humanity,


    ck Heaven thought


    about the Witch Maiden.


    Shes prettier than I thought.


    It was almost like a collecting obsession.


    No one under the heavens, past or present, could stop her. She could get whatever she wanted.


    Just as ck Heavens hand was about to reach the Witch Maiden


    She felt a brief sensation of her consciousness floating.


    She felt her soul returning to its ce. Lee Seo-ha opened and closed his hand. His physical body was entirely under his control.


    And he realized his body was creaking.


    After-effects?


    The pain was intense. He knew he would have to rest for a while.


    But even so, this wasnt too bad.


    My mind has returned too.


    Lee Seo-ha stroked his head, noting his hair length had returned to normal.


    Am I back?


    Yeah. Youre back.


    Lee Seo-ha confirmed this and looked at Seonghwi. He imbued his words with Nyeom, using the Absolute Command.


    Seonghwi. Leave this ce immediately, use this card to pay for a hotel, and book a single room.


    What, what?! Seo-ha, dont tell me you!


    Seonghwi was babbling something. Lee Seo-ha didnt respond and simply quietly fainted.


    [Your proficiency in ck God Martial Arts has increased!]


    [The limits of your physical body, enhanced by ck God Martial Arts, have been surpassed. All physical stats have slightly increased.] <hr>


    When I woke up, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.


    I stared at the ceiling with a nk expression.


    My head felt foggy. It felt like I had slept for a long time. But when I checked the clock, only 12 hours had passed.


    My body felt weak. I felt as if I hadnt eaten in days.


    How much time had passed?


    -Lee Seo-ha, youre awake!


    Yeah.


    When I got up, Eternal Heaven came wagging her tail towards me. Her behavior was extremely affectionate, as if I had been asleep for days.


    How long did I sleep?


    -Youve been sleeping for three whole days!


    So thats why I feel so weak.


    It made sense to feel hungry after fasting for three days.


    I took my wallet and went outside. It was getting dark.


    Normally, after fasting for three days, one should eat something light like tofu or porridge, but its a different story for magic users.


    And for me, a user of ck God Martial Arts, the best at utilizing physical strength, it was no different.


    Craving greasy food, I entered a nearby Chinese restaurant.


    What would you like to order?


    Everything from here to here, please.


    Excuse me?


    Everything from here to here.


    Okay, okay. Its pre-payment.


    Heres my card.


    Then, I ate like crazy. I spent two hours in the Chinese restaurant, continuously eating.


    My stomach is somewhat full now.


    Once my stomach was a bit full, my brain started to function again.


    And then, I realized the seriousness of the situation I was in.


    Ive missed two days of the midterms.


    Still, having eliminated the group called The Brigade of Eternal Heaven, maybe I could ask for this to be reflected in my grades. Perhaps I could even be first.


    As I was pondering how to spin this, I received a call.


    [Seo Ga-yeon]


    I finally noticed my phone.


    [Missed calls from Seo Ga-yeon: 572.]


    [Missed texts from Seo Ga-yeon: 300+]


    [Lee Seo-ha, did I do something wrong? Or are you hurt somewhere? If youre hurt, please text me immediately.]


    .


    Seo Ga-yeon was just the beginning. Ershil, Hong Yu-hwa, Seolhwa Ryeon, Kim Seo-hyun, and even Kim Ara.


    Seolhwa Ryeons texts were especially tear-inducing.


    [Summer is ending, and the time of high autumn is approaching. I hope you have been well, elder. With the money you gave me, I bought something called a budget phone. Smartphones are really useful tools.]


    [Did I send the text wrong?]


    [Elder perhaps, perhaps you left because I was weak and disappointed you]


    This is a big problem.


    [Lee Seo-ha, why suddenly arent youing to school? Are you hurt somewhere?]


    Kim Seo-hyuns worried texts and


    [The midterms start today, so be prepared. Ill definitely beat you this time.]


    [Why didnt youe to school?]


    [Are you hurt? At least send a text.]


    [I hope you respond if you see this message.]


    These were texts from Hong Yu-hwa.


    [Are you okay, Seo-ha?]


    And then there were over 300 texts from Kim Ara, all saying the same thing.


    [I dont know how you did it, but you summoned the Heavenly Demon, right? Things are chaotic now, so rest up and thene.]


    Ershil seemed to have guessed what I had done.


    Considering Mnie, the transcendent being within Ershil, was familiar with the Heavenly Demon


    For now, I quickly sent a text exining that I had fainted due to overexertion.


    Then my phone vibrated.


    [Kim Seo-hyun]


    The third text I sent, and she immediately called. I answered the call.


    [Are you okay? I heard you fainted.]


    Im a bit better now. How about you?


    [Im fine. But what about the midterms? It looks tough for Seo-ha since you were absent without notice.]


    Its okay. I can make up for that.


    [Oh, confident. Then Ill worry less and focus on doing my best.]


    Do your best. Youll need to maintain at least second ce.


    Kim Seo-hyun and I chatted about various things. Then I talked with Seolhwa Ryeon, Seo Ga-yeon, Kim Ara, Hong Yu-hwa, and Ershil, in that order.


    We talked all night. It was surprising how much there was to talk about after just three days of rest.<hr>


    The midterms were over.


    In fact, I had been absent since the middle of them. Seo Ye-bin dered that I had worked too hard and promoted me to the top position, exempting me from all schedules.


    There were some whispers of favoritism, but nothing too significant to worry about.


    It would be troublesome if rumors spread about me single-handedly annihting The Brigade of Eternal Heaven or having a major contribution.


    Generally, the students seemed to have the perception that I had aplished something significant.


    And after the midterms were over.


    You know the exchange meeting starts today, right?


    We headed to the United States.
