Chapter 90: Ban on Blood Rage
"You seriously need to stop using Blood Rage..."
Cheon Areum mumbled under his breath, his voice strained with the effort of holding the fractured mountain together as he carefully made his way forward. Each step caused a faint vibration through the snow, his energy still threaded through the crumbling rocks like invisible strings keeping the terrain from caving in. But as he neared, his expression slowly contorted—not from exertion, but from the brutality of what he was witnessing.
The creature—or whatever resemblance it once had to a living thing—was no longer recognizable. What remained was a smear of limbs and bone, mashed deeply into the jagged crevice of the mountain wall. Flesh hung in shreds from stone, and black blood oozed like tar down the slope. Yet Yoon Seoyul didn’t stop. He stood with his fist buried into the creature’s remains, shoulders rising and falling with a quiet, unshaken breath, continuing to pulverize the mess deeper and deeper as if trying to erase its very existence.
"What the fuck are you doing? That thing’s already dead!"
Cheon Areum shouted, his voice echoing off the snowy peaks like a crack of thunder.
"That’s enough! You’re going to bring the whole damn mountain down!"
His eyes flicked to the black, gooey substance soaking into the snow—thick, sticky, and spreading like a cursed stain. With a resigned sigh, he stepped into the mess, his boots squelching as he marched forward, snow clinging to the hem of his coat like blood to a bandage.
Without another word, he grabbed Yoon Seoyul by the collar of his black turtleneck, his fingers tightening into the fabric with uncharacteristic force. In one swift movement, he hurled him away from the mountain and into the open field below.
Yoon Seoyul flipped mid-air, landing on his feet but skidding back a few steps from the sheer force of the throw, leaving twin trails carved into the snow.
Cheon Areum stood at the base of the mountain, face cold, as behind him, rocks continued to tremble—barely held together by the web of his energy he was still maintaining.
