The method, as she mentioned, was simple . It was too simple to the point where Dohyuk's response was-
"Hah . "
But the information was enough . Dohyuk took a step and Yuri spoke from behind .
"You didn't ask . "
"What?"
"Shouldn't you be worried?"
"Worried about you?"
"Of course, no . I know my place," Yuri smiled . "It's the opposite . Aren't you worried that I will betray you?"
Yuri held up her whip . Just like how she was unharmed, her equipment was intact . Yuri was genuinely surprised when she received it from Dohyuk . Unlike Giwon, Yuri had not heard the reason for such mercy from Dohyuk yet .
"What makes you so generous?"
"I'm generous?"
Dohyuk turned to Yuri's intrigued, curious face . Her eyes bright like a child's, as if she had just witnessed something unbelievable .
"I gave that to you because you are strong enough to be considered firepower . I'm not being generous . "
"But you didn't do that to the girl . "
Heeyun .
"I mean I'm not someone who can see through everything, but even I can see that the girl is useless . I mean, she wasn't even pretty either . And if you were some other strong man, that girl would've been rolling on the ground, beaten down to be taught a lesson the moment she talked back to you . "
"…You don't think that can be you?"
"I do . "
In the next moment, Yuri sped up to walk past Dohyuk before she turned back and walked backwards as she watched him .
"I always have that in mind . If you make me follow your orders or beat me down, crush me, or whip me right at this moment, I wouldn't be surprised at all . I'm just surprised that you aren't doing that at all . It's really fascinating to me . "
Yuri knew what a man, no, a strong human would do to a weakling . Since she had lived a long time on the side of the weak, she hands-on experience . Even the Tyrant wasn't much different - he was just a bit stronger and a bit more violent than others .
Dohyuk, however, was different . This difference was intriguing to her . That's why she wanted to know more, and thus she spoke and made a move that would tempt or taunt a man . Even if it resulted in deadly violence, she still wanted to know .
"…Ugh . "
She gasped for a second . It wasn't because of Dohyuk .
They had arrived .

Vampiric Region .
It was the region where your power would be drawn away just by walking .
Dohyuk experienced what it was like for the first time .
It wasn't a pleasant feeling to say the least . It felt like he was being sucked out with countless tubes stuck on his body .
"There are a lot of people here," Yuri said . She knew that the region's sucking energy would be weakened as more people walked into it . By the way things were, it seemed that the Tyrant was probably packing things up to get ready to leave .
"Remember what I said? How to negate the damage?"
It was simple .
The only thing that could capture energy wasn't the ground itself .
"If a living thing hurts another living thing-"
Part of the damage would transfer over to the attacker in the form of energy . So, if it was possible to attack others, one could live in this region without taking any damage at all .
"We can ambush one by one slowly…"

"No, we'll go . " Dohyuk spat and began to move . Yuri was shocked .
"Huh?"
"Now . "
Without hesitation, Dohyuk began running at full speed toward the inner region .
"W-wait!"
She would not have been so shocked if Dohyuk punched her in the face right now . Yet Dohyuk did not care if Yuri followed him or not . He just ran . Even after listening to her explanation, Dohyuk just ran straight through the ruins of the old city as if he did not care at all .
He felt that there were others excluding Yuri who were eyeing him . They weren't attacking yet only because Dohyuk was faster than them and they were surprised by the sudden visitor . He ran through the alleyway and climbed over a fence . Then, he arrived at a wide and empty lot .
It was a bit far from the 'accurate' location Giwon had informed him of, but Dohyuk did not hesitate and punched the ground .
"W-what are you…"
Yuri, who barely caught up to him, and the enemies who came later than Yuri, couldn't understand Dohyuk's actions . He was just punching the ground with all of his might . Of course, he was unleashing very powerful strikes . Shortly after the ground was dug up to Dohyuk's height .
"Wait- are you?"
The moment Yuri realized what he was doing, her face turned pale . Dohyuk's fist hit something hard, resulting in a bloody fist . Underneath his foot was a steel surface . It was the underground labyrinth, the surface of the secret space where Ilgyu's treasures were hidden .
"Crazy fool . "
With the voice, guards of the region began appearing as they circled Dohyuk .

"Are you trying to punch a hole into it?"
"You're an idiot . "
Yuri thought so as well . Dohyuk did manage to find the underground labyrinth, but so what? There was nothing that could be done . The steel surface was bit crumpled, but it was far from being punched through . Now, there were men circling them and they would block Dohyuk from working on it .
"Whew . "
Dohyuk let out a sigh and stood up . Even with his bloody, crushed fist, he didn't even frown .
"I found the shortcut thanks to you . "
Dohyuk spoke to Yuri and the other guards jumped toward them . They were very fast, but the situation was in control . It was because-
He reached down to place his hand on the surface .
Oh, and he needed to say one phrase to finish it .
"Digest . "
With the word, a bright light flashed .
And there was an earthquake, big enough to shake the entire region .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
