Chapter 34
“Didn’t I say I’d return?”
Who on earth was he talking to? It was a line Cheolmyeongho muttered alone in the chaotic battlefield where no one answered him.
Meanwhile, numbness began spreading through Cheol Myeong-ho’s arm. But then something strange happened. The moment a face he remembered appeared before his eyes, the pain gripping his entire arm vanished as if washed away. In a way, this was also the essence of the Poisonous Demon’s identity. When consumed by fierce determination, he could easily endure most pains, hardships, and difficulties.
Cheol Myeong-ho roamed the area where Dan Woo-seong had begun his rampage, singling out only those who had relentlessly pursued him to the death earlier and smashing their skulls with his iron-tipped umbrella.
“······Two thousand eight hundred ninety-eight.”
Dan Wooseong’s words echoed like an auditory hallucination in his ears.
“You rat? You poisonous snake?”
Cheol Myeong-ho answered alone, like a madman.
“Uh, no. I’m Dokjonghori.”
He had to keep muttering the words because only by spewing venom could the pain subside. He was determined to reach one hundred thousand times and hear his friend say, “That’s just like you, Venomous Snake.”
Truthfully, without the nickname Dokjonghori, Cheol Myeong-ho had nothing left.
His martial arts weren’t strong, his family had fallen apart long ago, the woman had left, and there was no one around he could call a friend.
