Book 6: Chapter 57
Hey, Kax, you alright there, buddy? Stella asked, flying out of Vurs chest and landed on the ground by the red-haired man. Despite being stomped on by a dragons leg, the man was unharmed; the same couldnt be said for the ground. There was a person-shaped indent made in it that Kaxs body was currently filling.
Kax grunted and raised his arms, pressing them against the ground, pushing himself up as if he were climbing out of a swimming pool. He looked at Kim Hajun and frowned. What was that? the red-haired man asked before spitting on the ground as he climbed to his feet. You were a summoner?Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com Hajun took in a deep breath through his nose. His entire body was trembling, and sweat rolled from his forehead all the way down to his chin before dropping to the ground. He ignored Kaxs question and turned towards Lindyss. I won, he said and exhaled out a shaky breath. Do you think Im worth investing in now?
Lindyss rubbed her chin. A deals a deal, she said and took out the parchment that Kim Hajun had signed. Purple flames engulfed it, turning the sheet into ashes. Congratulations on keeping your soul.
Kim Hajun exhaled. As his breath left his body so did his energy. The well-dressed man crumpled to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. He lay on his back and stared up at the ceiling, taking in shaky breaths. A green light washed over him, and his exhaustion and soreness disappeared as if the previous fight had just been a dream. Kim Hajun blinked and sat up, touching his stomach where Kax had struck him. His internal organs had definitely been damaged to the point where hed be peeing out blood for the next week, but now, he felt perfectly fine. His eyes followed the remaining wisps of green light, and his gaze landed on Vur.
Was that my leg? Vur asked, staring straight into Kim Hajuns eyes.
A chill ran down Kim Hajuns spine, and he did his best to fix his expression while adjusting his sitting posture. Yes, the well-dressed man said and took a blank card out of his pocket. My innate ability allows me to record and release a beings mana signature. While you were transferring me from the mountain to your shelter, I used that time to record your leg.
Why his leg? Stella asked, flying away from Kax to hover over the blank card. Why didnt you record his head? Im sure Vurs head is much more useful than his leg.
Kim Hajun cleared his throat. While I was being transported, Vur held me with his claws, and I didnt have a good view of his face. I can only copy things I have a crystal-clear image of.
Whats wrong with him? Tafel asked.
Nothing wrong with Kax, Kax said. Kax tired, upset over loss to pretty boy.
Kim Hajun blinked twice. The correct term was handsome, not pretty boy. Never in his life nor in his prophetic dream had he been referred to that way. However, Kim Hajun was relieved to hear Kax had acknowledged his defeat. Without another trump card recorded, Kim Hajun didnt think hed be able to defeat the red-haired man if they were to fight again right now. To prevent the group from getting too comfortable to the point where theyd want to see a rematch, Kim Hajun cleared his throat. Shall we search through the rest of the temples for hidden pieces? Although we just entered the first floor, some regions are still operating from previous exams. If we dont hurry, someone else might discover the pieces first, and well have to redo the exam if we want another shot at obtaining them.
You didnt even know Diamond Ice was hidden in this temple, Lindyss said. How are you so sure there are other pieces hidden away?
A wry smile appeared on Kim Hajuns face. Im not sure, but doesnt it seem like a logical conclusion?
It does, Tafel said and nodded. Cmon, Auntie, we should hurry up.
Lindyss snorted and rolled her eyes. But before we go, I have a bridge Id like to sell you.
A bridge? Tafel asked, furrowing her brow. Why?
Lindyss shook her head before narrowing her gaze on Kim Hajun. The well-dressed man didnt hear any words, but he understood her meaning just fine. Trust wasnt built in a day; hed have to slowly work his way into her good books.
