Chapter 290: Bloodline (6)
In the gray world created by the Hell Mirror, I stood alone. Nothing else existed.
The Blood Clan leader who had been raging and spewing energy just moments ago, the Bidoong where he and I had been, the air itself. Even the natural spirits.
It was a space of utter nothingness.
“……”
I wondered if the concept of time even existed here.
As I looked around here and there, a crystal the size of a small grain of rice caught my eye.
‘What’s this?’
It was the very crystallization of the hell mirror I had fired.
And within it, I sensed a single image.
Predation.
If the Heavenly Demon Art of the Ten Demon Cult showed the image of annihilation, then the Hell Mirror of the Former King lineage was predation.
Only then did I grasp the meaning behind the name ‘Hell’s Mirror’.
‘It’s named after the hungry ghosts of the Hungry Ghost Hell, devouring everything like them.’
Isn’t that splendid?
A martial art that devours everything.
As I gazed upon the culmination of that Hell’s Mirror, a sudden hypothesis came to mind.
‘Wait, so this is exactly the same as the Eternal Elixir?’
Since the entire blood essence is contained within, in terms of internal energy alone, it would be like an imugi just before ascending.
‘Want to try it?’
It was an irresistible temptation for a martial artist, but he shook his head immediately.
‘Nah. Forget it. That bastard just devoured a corpse.’
If you’re going to eat, shouldn’t you eat something clean?
