Lust System in the Murim World-Chapter 43 Three Powers Of Human Part 1
Kim didn't pass out but his body was trembling in fear. He realized that his Battle Soul didn't even have the courage to come out.
He knew that the Battle Soul was formed from someone's long battle experience, powerful Willpower, and spirit. So, it was hard to imagine that someone could suppress his Battle Soul with their aura alone.
Although he was on the verge of losing all of his spiritual power, he still had the power to use Battle Soul for a few more seconds. And, it's not like its power will decrease because of his low spiritual power or stamina.
Realizing it, Kim slowly moved his mouth. It was hard. Not only he was forcing himself to stay conscious but also controlling his body.
"I….. can cook ….. for you after I recover."
The middle-aged man stared at Kim with surprise. He didn't expect to find someone with such strong Willpower.
He knew the consequences of standing in front of him. Even most powerhouses can't stand in front of it for long.
So, Kim's words touched his heart. He nodded his head and looked to the side.
At this moment, Kim also followed his gaze and saw three girls standing outside. Their bodies were trembling in fear, not knowing whether they should go in or not.
"I will wait for you to recover."
Saying so, the man stood up and walked away. He didn't walk too far but decided to get out of their sight.
Although his spiritual pressure was still there, not seeing him was enough for three girls to rush toward Kim.
"Kim!"
All three of them had returned to their normal appearance except Hinata who was keeping her human appearance. For her, normal means Asura.
Kim looked at them and at this moment, he finally let out a smile.
"I… kept…. the promise."
As soon as he said that, his eyes closed and he finally lost consciousness.
"Kim!" Hinata and Yeosho shouted at the same time, showing their anxious expression. They tried to wake him up but Neyol stopped them.
"Are you two stupid? Can't you see that he is extremely tired? Find a bed quickly. His injuries have recovered but his spiritual power and stamina had dried down."
"We must wait for him to wake him."
Although Hinata didn't like taking orders from Neyol, she still showed no hesitation to help Kim.
Yeosho quickly found some torn parts of the mattress while Hinata brought the broken bed. They put him on the broken bed over the mattress and looked to the side.
It was exactly the place where that middle-aged man was sitting.
They knew with that man here, they are temporarily safe. Although it was hard for them to walk near him.
Last time, if it wasn't for their extreme Willpower to survive, they would pass out when he reached near them.
So, they didn't go near them at all.
"Yeosho and I will go out into the forest and catch something to eat. While we do that, you keep an eye on him."
Neyol suggested as she stood up.
Yeosho and Hinata had no opinion about it. After all, Neyol was older than them.
After leaving Hinata to take care of Kim, Neyol and Yeosho went out to find some food.
As they walked around the town, they saw countless dead bodies. Seeing that many dead bodies, Yeosho trembled.
Among them, there were also her parent's bodies. She held back her tears. Now that she had walked on this path, she can't regret it.
But, it was still hard to accept it. Her parents died in front of her while she hide to keep herself alive. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮
If only she had the courage to face that man. She clenched her fist with anger at herself.
But, suddenly Neyol held her hand.
"Although I don't accept you because of your talent, you are still his lover. Even though that was a cowardly move, Kim would be extremely happy that you made that move."
"When we decided to stay with him even though we knew the situation, we should've been prepared for such tragedy. The entire town was slaughtered."
"It's not that you hide but rather, he kept you alive. He probably wanted to kill you and me after killing him."
"Maybe he wanted to torture us rather than simply kill us. But, no matter the reason, it was clear that he wanted to kill us."
Hearing her words, Yeosho bit her lips. She didn't feel cheerful hearing those words but she didn't feel regret as well.
"Is he still here? Should we really go to that forest?" Yeosho asked. She was still afraid of him.
"No! I sensed his presence leaving this place. If I am not wrong, he should've gone several kilometers away by now. But still, we shouldn't lower our guard."
"You go back to your house and prepare the ingredients. I will hunt down some beast. Even if he hadn't escaped, I can still run away." Neyol said.
Hearing her words, Yeosho hesitated before agreeing. She walked toward her home.
Neyol went toward the forest but she didn't go too deep. She was still tired and afraid of those people.
She tried to find some animals nearby and lucky for her, she found three boars that seemed to have stuck on a vine.
She brought them back and while she was on the way, she also met Yeosho. At this moment, Yeosho was holding a bag filled with different ingredients.
As they walked toward Kim's broken house, they found the spiritual pressure from that man getting stronger.
Even though they knew that the man wasn't going to attack them, they still had a hard time calming themselves. It was so hard to breathe when they reach closer to him.
But, their Willpower was still strong. They didn't interact with him but rather focused on cooking.
Hinata was still looking after Kim who hadn't woken up.
They didn't cook all of it but rather cooked some for themselves. They also wanted to cook for that man but they didn't have the courage to walk near him.
Although the middle-aged man smelled the food, he didn't do anything. He understood their intention and decided to wait.
After all, he had been living for five years without any food.
Wait for a few days wouldn't be trouble for him.
He decided to wait for a few days but Kim surprised him. Just the next day, Kim woke up. He knew how exhausted Kim was after that battle.
So, he thought Kim would only wake up after a few days but didn't expect him to wake up the next day.
Even so, he didn't say anything just kept his mouth shut and waited.
At this moment, Kim was bombarded with anxious and concerned words from three girls. He didn't answer them instantly but rather said.
"I am fine. Don't worry about me. By the way, did you prepare any food for that man?"
Hearing his question, three girls looked at each other and told him the truth.
Kim sighed. He didn't blame them. If it wasn't for the fact that he was saved by this man's presence, he would've run away.
So, he asked them to prepare the meal for him and that man. Three girls were still a bit concerned but they didn't hesitate much.
Since he just woke up, they prepared some warm soup with vegetables and meat. Taking two big bowls and a massive container with him, Kim walked toward that man.
Although he was still a bit tired, he didn't want to keep that man hungry.
He will never return grace with disgrace.
Seeing his approach, the man slowly spoke.
"You can rest for more. I don't mind eating later."
"No! Senior's presence saved my life. Because of you, I didn't break my promise. I apologize for my lovers' attitude." Kim walked in front of him and bowed down while putting the container and bowls on the ground.
At this moment, he realized that his legs were trembling. He gritted his teeth and immediately apologized once again.
"I'm sorry. These legs won't listen to me."
"Hahahahaha!"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man burst into laughter. At this moment, the sky turned bright. The clouds that were scattered around disappeared and the sounds of birds rang throughout the sky.
His laughter was resonating with the birds.
It was so amazing that Kim couldn't even know how to describe it. The middle-aged man slowly lowered his head and smiled.
"You deserve to be someone who awakened his Battle Soul twice without even having decades of experience."
"Hahaha! I am so happy. Fifteen Years….. It has been fifteen years since I talked to someone. Boy, you don't need to worry about your legs. Even if you pass out in front of me, it should be normal."
"But, I still want to say. Thank you for not passing out in front of me."
He even lowered his head when he thanked Kim.
Kim was stunned by this. He didn't expect a person of such power would actually lower his head.
"No, no, I should be the one thanking you. Please, let's have a meal before it gets cold."
