Chapter 66
0066 : Demon Subduing Hall
My ninth life has begun.
“Huff… huff…”
I suppressed the pain coursing through my body, drenched in sweat. The agony and despair from being skewered by daggers and waiting for death were etched in my mind. It was difficult to breathe until the phantom pains subsided. Above all, the absurdity of having died in a completely unexpected location was draining my mental resolve.
I lay in the stable, and after a while, I was finally able to catch my breath. My body was soaked with sweat. I propped myself up and muttered,
“… What a struggle.”
I could understand being attacked by the Mado Eight Gates. They likely targeted me as I had wandered off alone from the Azure Dragon Martial Arts School. If I had merely gone there to handle my business quickly, I would only have to deal with the Black Night Gate, and death would not have been necessary. Unfortunately, I’d ended up letting Mangnyang know, wasting time and giving the Black and White Lotus a chance to gather and swarm me.
The real problem was that I had died at such an ambiguous time. I was troubled by the fact that I would have to restart at the Azure Dragon Martial Arts School once again.
How on earth would I get back in?
