130 – 26. Do you know the Tao?
“Ah…”
Blood pouring, heart exploding in hand, life being cut off.
There was nothing that was not refreshing.
Kim Eun-ha raised the corner of her mouth as she looked at Namgoong Min, who was falling down helplessly with his heart bursting and his pupils going blank.
“This…Is a waste…”
She turns over Namgoong Min, who is dead with a hole in her chest, and kisses her bloodless lips.
And the heart that still remains in her hand pours the blood onto her head.
Like a divine anointing.
Kim Eun-ha, covered in Namgoong Min’s blood with a sincere and happy expression, closed Namgoong Min’s eyes.
“Thank you, and I love you.”
Affection.
It was a voice like honey, overflowing with endless love and gratitude.
She whispered her love like that.
Leap forward.
Puhwaak!!
“Refreshing── frustrating!!”
Behind her, a being wearing a crown and shining red eyes.
Run through the corridors of the dungeon, lightly blow down the door to the princess’s palace, and arrive at the princess’s palace, which is still full of darkness and dust.
I want to kill someone.
I want to kill people.
I want to kill someone.
Just as a hungry person looks for food, and a thirsty person looks for water.
Kim Eun-ha burst into laughter at the burning thirst for murder in the realm of instinct.
.
A skill that gives the owner great strength and a body, but requires killing one person a day to maintain one’s sanity.
However, it has been too long since she was unable to satisfy her desire for
.
At best, one fortune teller was not enough.
For a long time.
“Woe, princess!”
“Suddenly a loud noise came from the princess’s palace──”
“Everyone? I’m fine.”
That’s why she smiled even though the people who were confused by the loud noise coming up to the princess’s palace came rushing in.
One, two, three, four…… About thirteen.

It will be enough to soothe your lips.
“So, I’ll just be satisfied with my heart?”
“Yes?…Ugh!?”
“Woe, woe, princess?”
“What is that behind your back…?”
“aaah!!!”
“Run away! The princess is crazy!”
“Slaughter, kill again…!!”
“I’m sane?”
“Quaaah!!!”
Thirteen servants fall down with blood spraying out.
Kim Eun-ha, who was savoring the feeling of her heart bursting with a satisfied expression, soon glanced at their faces.
“There are a lot of familiar faces.”
If there was a commotion in the princess’s palace in the first place, they would come running right away, so they must have been working around here from the beginning.
Is that the fault? There were many people she knew.
Grandpa, who was the head butler of the princess’s palace.
Grandma who was in charge of cooking.
Mr. Jang was repairing various parts of the building.
Even my older sister who took care of the garden.
Familiar faces that I have seen since I was young.
But even in their deaths, Eunha Kim smiled.
Anyway, things like that.
Because I felt like dust compared to my desire to kill, which was so lacking right now.
“With this… Fourteen.”
It’s been over 10 years since I was sealed.
If we assume one person per day, we would only need to kill approximately 4,000 people.
After finishing the calculation with a smile, Kim Eun-ha ran.
The strong smell of blood and a living person.
It was an instant for her with a crooked smile to arrive at the imperial palace.
“Uh, huh? Princess?”
“Well, well, what is that!!!”
“Run away!!”
Puuk.
It shows and takes the heart out of everyone it meets.
If you kill a person, the heart is the most delicious food.
It was a method that I would not have done normally, eating only the most delicious parts and throwing away the rest.
There were a lot of people here now.
Of course, my heart was overflowing.
“hahahaha!!!”
Pierce the chest of those running away, take out their hearts, and grab them.
It was a repetitive act that felt like simple labor, but Eunha Kim was happy.
Kill, kill, kill, kill.
Drunk on murder, drunk on flesh, drunk on blood, he goes on a rampage.
A time when walls were destroyed and everyone in sight was killed.
“Princess…!!”
“Ah, the oppressor.”
Nice to meet you.
And.
“Goodbye.”
“Whoops…!”
The unfortunate thing is that, perhaps because I am too old, the feeling of my heart exploding is not very enjoyable.
He roughly throws the old man who is falling down without even being able to say a proper word and walks around the castle.
“What is this…!”
Captain of the Shadows.
“If that is the princess’s choice.”
Too.
“Woe, princess! We are the prince’s faction.”
Seven Ministers.
Employees, visitors, and royal family members.
As if conversation is a luxury, he just laughs like crazy and lusts for your heart.
Someone said, death is fair.
“That’s really true.”
Who said that?
It’s something that’s been stuck in my mind since I was young, but I don’t know who said it.
I just sympathize.
I want to kill someone.
I still want to kill people.
I want to keep killing people.
Soaking my entire body in blood and being covered in blood.
After building up a mountain of corpses and quietly making the castle that was overflowing with screams and shouts.
Kim Eun-ha came to her senses.
To be precise, I woke up from the exhilaration of murder.
“Huh…?”
Have they already killed 4,000 people? It didn’t really feel like it.
Suddenly, my heart throbs.
Did I wake up because of this pain?
Then I looked at what I was doing.
Her father was at her feet.
“Ugh…….”
“Ah, Dad. How have you been?”
“……….”
“Please understand if I call you Dad. Father or Abama are too stiff, right? Sometimes children want to call their parents that way.”
“……………….”
“Then why didn’t you meet me during Chuseok? No, when did we meet before that? I don’t remember.”
“……………….”
“In the past, I was grateful to my father. I was grateful for the choice he made to seal my life.”
“……….”
“Of course, when I think about it again, it was a very stupid thing to do.”
Thump. Thud. Thud.
…… Oh, maybe it hasn’t exploded yet?
Only then did Eunha Kim notice her heart still beating in her hand.
She knew who it belonged to without even thinking about it.
“Ahahahaha, I’m standing and my dad is lying down. Do you remember the old days?”
“……………….”
“When I was young, I accidentally hit my dad. I just stood there in front of him who fell down, clutching his stomach.”
“……….”
“It’s a good memory, right?”
“……………….”
“The unfortunate thing is that my mother is not with me right now.”
“……….”
“……Ah, that’s right.”
I killed him, right?
Kwasik.
Just by lightly holding her hand, her heart bursts.
She left her room, roughly throwing a piece of her heart to her father, who had already lost his last breath.
“…Huh, brother?”
What greeted her was the corpse of her prince, whose heart had been pierced.
Did I kill my brother too?
Well, it doesn’t really matter.
“I’m sorry, brother.”
Then why did you come to Hwangseong? Just at the academy.
I prayed for my brother to rest in peace and walked cheerfully down the hallway, and soon I saw several corpses.
Great wealth, superpower, warrior, mage.
“……?”
Why is everyone here?
Look at their heart parts with a light question.
It was pierced and burst open as if it were natural.
“Ah, foolish me.”
The hearts of these important people should have been tasted more and burst.
No matter how hungry you are, you should have tasted it and eaten it.
But it’s okay!
Because there are so many hearts to burst!
Like that, I walk.
Singing a humming song, walking cheerfully, and smiling brightly.
I travel throughout the vast imperial castle.
“Huh…?”
No.
The only thing there was a corpse.
Has everyone already died? That’s a bit disappointing.
Then suddenly a question arises.
‘A person who works in the imperial castle…….’
It won’t be 4,000 people, right?
At most, it would have been half that amount, but you only came to your senses after killing that much?
“Why on earth?”
Has it been so long that even small numbers make you feel full?
Or has the number of users increased?
Doubts give rise to questions, and they lead to questions.
And above all.
Wicked.
“It hurts so much…”
From the moment the exhilaration of Ended.
From the moment I woke up in front of my father.
My heart hurts as if it is being squeezed.
It’s hard to breathe, tears come out little by little, and my head hurts……
“Why on earth?”
“……….”
“Originally, we would have had to kill everyone in the imperial castle and then go outside and continue the massacre.”
“……………….”
“Why did I wake up like this?”
“…Nam Goong Min?”
“And why is it painful?”
Right next to her, she was moaning in unknown pain.
Namgoong Min is sitting.
A fortune teller whose heart burst and should be dead in a dungeon.
“You survived…?”
“What do you think? Princess. Would you like to kill me again?”
“As you wish.”
Hook. Kwasik.
Although he groans in pain, he casually pulls out Namgoong Min’s heart again and bursts it.
Of course, right after that, Namgoong Min collapses without breathing.
“Would you like to try again?”
“What is this…?”
Before she knew it, another Namgoong Min was sitting next to her.
The sight of Namgoong Min’s corpse coexisting with the living Namgoong Min.
Before the embarrassed princess could use her hand again, Namgoong Min opened her mouth first.
“How do you feel now?”
“…Yes?”
“Princess, how are you feeling now?”
“…Is this the ‘method’ you were talking about? Infinitely surviving through an artifact or unknown method?”
“……………….”
“Are you planning on dying until that makes me feel better? If that’s really the case, then that’s a really stupid idea.”
“Why is that so?”
“
It’s not that simple. The more times you kill the same person, the less pleasure you get. To be satisfied with killing only you, you’d have to die over 10,000 times, right?”
“……….”
“If this is a smart way to kill
, Give up.”
“Well, is that really true?”
“………?”
“Rather than that, I am not trying to satisfy or eliminate the former princess’s .”
“…Yes?”
“To the former princess──”
“──I’m trying to teach ‘self-control’.
“Okay then.”
“Let’s try one more time.”
*
“Princess Kim Eun-ha.”
“……….”
“How are you feeling?”
“…It’s actually a simple question.”
This is a very simple question, unbecoming of a fortune teller.
How do you feel now?
“Refreshing….”
“……….”
“To the point where I want to kill living creatures.”
Recovering the sealed .
Kim Eun-ha threw away even the non-killing that Had promised.
I was about to become a blood demon.
“……………….”
“Princess?”
“…First, I’ll kill you.”
“Sigh…!?”
Hook.
She──
With an expression of ignorance.
Puhwaak!!!
Nam Goong Min’s heart was grabbed and burst.
*
“What on earth is this pain…?”
“Okay then.”
“Answer me!!!”
“Let’s try one more time.”
*
“Princess Kim Eun-ha.”
“……….”
“How are you feeling?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Uh…Huh…?”
*
“You hurt so much…My heart…Pain…!”
“Okay then.”
“Let’s try one more time.”
*
“Princess Kim Eun-ha.”
“……….”
“How are you feeling?”
“…It’s actually a simple question.”
This is a very simple question, unbecoming of a fortune teller.
How do you feel now?
“Refreshing… So…”
“……….”
“Do you want to kill all living beings?”
Recovering the sealed .
Kim Eun-ha threw away even the non-killing that Had promised.
He must descend as a blood demon.
“Kill, kill…”
“……….”
“Doing…..”
Confusion, pain, and emptiness.
Why?
I’m sure I just became perfect.
I finally regained my sense of humor.
Why on earth──
“uuu….”
──Why are you hesitating to kill me?
Shouts. Kill the fortune teller in front of you. Cover yourself with that blood and take the heart.
But.
I am, I am.
“Now, princess.”
“Ugh, uh…….”
“Are you not going to kill me?”
“Uh…Ah…”
Nam Goong Min holds Kim Eun-ha’s arm, who is moaning in confusion and pain, and places it on his own heart.
With just the slightest amount of force, you can kill him and rupture his heart.
Gives the command. Do it like that.
But.
Hands.
It doesn’t move.
It just touches Namgoong Min’s chest.
“Princess.”
“Ah, ah….”
“How do you feel now?”
“Ah…It hurts, it hurts so much…My heart…”
Pain. The pain that oppresses your chest.
It is definitely an unknown pain.
Why?
‘Why is it like this…… Are you familiar with it?’
It was a somewhat familiar pain.
The pain I felt when I was young……
“Princess.”
“It hurts…It hurts…!!”
“That is loss.”
“Uh…Ah…?”
“And you didn’t kill me.”
Tub.
Namgoong Min places her hand on Kim Eunha’s head.
And stroked it.
“Well done.”
“……….”
“The princess is now…”
“……………….”
“You have learned self-control.”
“Ah…”
“Good job, Eunha.”
……………
…………
………
……
…
“……Yes.”
