Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

But as a martial artist, he was prepared to do anything. He unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the people surrounding him as pure dark Qi rose from his body, dyeing his sclera black.

Heavenly Demon Descent!

"Sorry, but I have no time to chat with you. Come at me all at once. I will cut you to pieces.

This technique was a forbidden art that was only taught to the elite in the Heavenly Demon Sect. It was a powerful one that would enhance his power and make him unstoppable.

With that, Kim Min-Gu's aura changed. His Qi that flowed like a water dragon turned into a fire dragon, burning with passion and fury. He was no longer the boy who was timid and afraid.

Now, he was a martial artist that would bring death and destruction.

"If you're not going to attack me, then allow me to."

Lowering his stance, he rushed forward like a bull.

In an instant, three people were cut down. Their blood splashed around, and their screams filled the air. Kim Min-Gu was unfazed and just kept slashing his sword.

Of course, the enemies were injured from their reckless duel with each other, but they were by no means weak. They could handle themselves and fought back.

One of them kicked his stomach, sending him back. However, Kim Min-Gu quickly flipped in the air and landed on his feet. His eyes were red, and his face was contorted with anger. Emotions were easier to get into when he was in Heavenly Demon Descent's state.

By sacrificing his rationality, he could focus on the fight and kill everything that stood in his way.

"He's not human! He's a demon!"

One of them yelled, and Kim Min-Gu couldn't help but chuckle. A demon fit him well as the heir of the Demon Sect and the direct disciple of Heavenly Demon. He was used to killing and was not afraid of dying.

His sword slashed and cut, his feet danced, and his hands stabbed. All the while, his dark Qi flowed from his body, enhancing his attacks and defense.

"Dance of the Heavenly Demon."

He chanted, and his Qi began to move, dancing like a wind. His sword was covered in flames, and his hair floated slightly. The enemies couldn't help but watch him with awe and fear.

The one that was hit by his flame had their clothes burn and their skin melting. They couldn't move or scream, and their Qi couldn't heal them.

Kim Min-Gu was ruthless. And because of his special body disposition, he was able to use his dark Qi without any problems. And also... He could use more than 1 Qi element.

"Water Cutter."

The flame around his sword turned into water. Once he swung his sword, a thin line of water shot from it, slicing the enemies' arms and legs.

The one that was hit didn't have a chance to scream. They couldn't even move, their wounds turning purple and their energy disappearing.

Kim Min-Gu didn't stop.

"Demon Step."

Stomping his foot on the ground, he disappeared from the enemies' sight. They looked around and couldn't find him.

Suddenly, their bodies were sliced in half. Kim Min-Gu stood in front of them, his expression calm and his breathing steady. Blood rained on him, but he didn't care. He managed to break through their formation and escape the sect.

The last enemy standing looked at him with fear in his eyes. But, Kim Min-Gu couldn't be bothered to finish him off. He just left him and walked away. His benefactor told him to run, so he ran.

As he reached the outside of the hidden village, his appearance returned to normal. He was able to feel the massive Qi explosion from the inside and couldn't help but look back.

"Benefactor, what happened there?"

Another weakness of Heavenly Demon Descent was making him unable to feel Qi other than his own to erase any kind of pressure used by the enemy. So he just realized that there was a battle between monsters in the building behind him.

"Don't worry about me. Just run and return to the capital. I will finish this guy off and come after you."

As if he could hear Kim Min-Gu's voice, Leo gave an instruction through the earring.

Kim Min-Gu was surprised, but he nodded and began to run. If he stayed any longer, his legs would be unable to move due to pressure and pain. He didn't want that to happen.

After making sure that Kim Min-Gu was far away by looking at the hologram map, Leo focused on the monster in front of him.

Hands was a Qi user and had the ability to control the earth. A chunk of the wall was formed into a hammer and swung toward him.

However, he was quick and agile. His figure turned into a blurry mess and he dodged while leaving a trail of light behind him.

"Lightning Step."

He appeared above her, his sword aimed at her neck.

Facing the incoming attack, Hands swung her claw, creating a shield. It was her strongest defense, and Leo knew it wouldn't break easily.

So, he changed his target. His sword changed direction mid-air and swung toward her legs.

The sharp blade cut through her fur, and blood gushed out. She lost balance and fell to the ground.

"Aaargh! You bastard!"

Her roar echoed through the building, and Leo just grinned.

"Don't worry. Your death will come soon. After all, I plan to eradicate the Supreme Evil followers until there is nothing left. And you, as one of their masters, are no exception."

He said, his voice cold and merciless.

"You will die, and everyone will know that the Mercenary Union is the one who destroyed the Supreme Evil and its followers. Our reputation will rise and we will be feared throughout the world. No one will dare to mess with us. We will become the true power in the Murim and the Empire. That's my plan, and you are just a small part of it."

For the first time ever, Leo saw Hands' expression change. She was scared, and her eyes showed her fear. The craziness in his eyes and the mercilessness in his voice was terrifying.

She couldn't defeat him. Her wildest instinct screamed at her that she shouldn't make this man her enemy.

"You're mad! You can't destroy us! No one can! Supreme Evil will always rise and rule the world. His disciples will bring death and destruction upon the land. You're just a bug that will be crushed! Die while being ignorant of the truth!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The earth hammer molded into a spear and flew toward him.

A line of darkness followed the spear, and the Qi was so dense that it was hard to breathe.

"Corrupted Earth Spear."

The darkness was an extension of her, and her ability was known to be able to corrupt anyone and anything. Anyone hit by the spear would turn into a pile of ashes, leaving nothing behind.

"Lightning Shield."

Leo's hand was raised, and the air around him seemed to disappear. The lightning crackled, and the photon shield with lightning energy formed around him.

It was strong and sturdy, and the spear couldn't pierce it. It shattered upon impact, and the electricity surged toward Hands.

She couldn't dodge it, and her body was hit. The sound of thunder echoed through the building, and smoke filled the room.

Still, her body was still standing. She was stubborn and had a lot of energy. Her fur was burnt, and her skin was blackened, but she was alive.

"Damn it! Die, you bastard! Die die die and become nutrients for our Lord!"

Earth rose as she trashed around.

The ground trembled, and the building started to crumble. Leo, on the other hand, was floating with a circle of lightning surrounding him. His eyes were red, and his expression was cold. Lightning shot around randomly with him as the center.

Qi gathered in his hands, forming a sphere that was crackling with energy.

"Thunderstorm."

The energy exploded, and lightning spread everywhere. The roof was broken, and the ground was destroyed. The floating earth fell to the ground, and the walls collapsed.

"Fall!"

Leo shouted, and the lightning gathered into a spear, shooting toward the ground.

"AAAAHHH!!"

Hands' scream echoed as the lightning pierced her chest, and she fell into the rubble. Dust filled the air, and the building was in shambles.

Still, Leo wasn't someone to lower his guard. He might've had pierced her heart, but he wouldn't be sure that she was dead yet before confirming it himself.

He scanned the area and found her body. Walking toward it, he was surprised when a burnt arm shot out and grabbed his ankle.

"Damn you, bastard. I will kill you."

The hand was covered in fur, and her voice was hoarse. She was still alive, but her Qi was unstable and her energy was fading. She already half-returned to her human form and was barely able to speak.

"Look at your situation. You can't even stand up. What can you do to kill me?"

Leo shook his foot, and the hand let go.

"Nothing. But I can still tell you something. You will never be able to revive Supreme Evil even if I don't do anything. Why?"

A smile formed on his lips as he looked at the pitiful sight of the master of the sect.

"Because he doesn't want to be revived."

"What? Impossible!"

Hands yelled, but her eyes were wide with shock. Words from enemies usually didn't affect her. However, she couldn't believe what Leo said.

'I am not lying though.'

Supreme Evil, the man who brought death and destruction, the one that was the symbol of evil, the one who was feared and worshiped by his followers.

Surprisingly, the man himself wanted death. He was tired of the life he was living and the world he was living in. He was bored and felt like there was nothing left for him. His power forced him to take and absorb the energy of others to stay alive. It was a painful existence, and he wished for it to end.

He tried to end his life multiple times, but his immortality made it impossible. The only way he could end his life was if someone stronger than him killed him.

And so he created problems, wars, and chaos in the Murim. He gathered those doing evils and branded himself as Supreme Evil to make himself a target for powerful Qi users.

But, no one could kill him.

His plan was to keep going until someone or something that could destroy him appeared. That only took an entire Murim to do so, creating what was called the Murim Alliance.

"Even if he got revived, he would kill himself before his power is restored. Just be honest that you guys only sought his power and not the person himself."

Leo chuckled and kicked her chin.

"Now, die. There's no reason for you to keep living. I have won."

Hands growled and trashed around, but her injuries and energy were too much for her to handle.

"Damn it! Damn you!"

Her body turned into ashes, and Leo couldn't help but feel satisfied.

One of the strongest members of the Supreme Evil followers was gone, and their secret village was destroyed. From now on, the others would move much more carefully, and their movement would be easier to track.

'It's time to cleanse the Murim of evil and restore balance.'

With that thought, he stepped over the rubble and walked away.

For the sake of his goal.
