Lust System in the Murim World

40 Battle of Promise Part 4

'Is this what death feels like? Stabbed by a sword and lost blood. I guess nothing can save me this time.'

Kim's eyes were slowly closing. He had a hard time trying to keep his consciousness alive.

With a low amount of blood in his body, he had no idea how long he would be able to survive.

"You must return no matter what"

Suddenly, these words rang in his ears. He couldn't believe he was going to give up that easily.

At this moment, a picture of Yeosho, Neyol, and Hinata emerged in his head.

One was silent and very polite.

Another was mature and kind.

And, the last one was arrogant and loyal.

Although he used his Eyes to make her not leave him, the feelings between them have already grown.

Yeosho might not have the talent for becoming a martial artist. But, she had a pure heart and loved him more than anyone else.

Neyol might not be easy to convince or had a chance of changing her heart. But, she had a strong Will to suppress her own desire.

Hinata might be more arrogant and prideful than anyone else. But, she had the capital to become arrogant. She had the talent to deserve anything she desired.

But now, all three of them would die for him.

Hinata took the blow for Neyol. It was enough to tell him that there was a chance that the three of them will cooperate properly.

So, how can he give up?

Kim gritted his teeth. He realized this wasn't the moment to give up. This wasn't the moment to die.

'I just came to this world. I haven't even become a Harem God. I am Kim Woo. I am no longer a pathetic loser who would give up on his life.'

'Even if I have to go through hell, I won't die. Come on! Don't give up. I will become a Harem God. I will keep my promise.'

'Rise'

Kim's hands started shaking. He couldn't feel most of his body. But, he was still trying to stand up.

Tap! Tap! Ta——

Suddenly, the footstep stopped. Kiro slowly turned around and saw Kim struggling to stand up. His killing intent burst out when he saw those eyes, filled with nothing but flames of determination.

Kim must die.

He must die right now. This man can't survive at any cost.

Kiro's heart was shaken. At this moment, a few memories came to his mind.

"Child, the war is cruel. You have lost everything because of this war. I and My husband are trying to stop this war. Once this war is over, will you help me stabilize the peace in our kingdom?"

"Kiro, as the King of the Asura Kingdom, I approve of your talent and strength. From now on, you will be the personal guardian of Princess Hinata."

"Captain, you are so amazing. How did you get so strong? I don't think anyone in this world can match your strength at your age."

"Captain, you slaughtered one hundred thousand people... Don't you have even a little empathy? I'm sorry, Captain. I can't work for you anymore."

"Hey, did you hear? Everyone who was previously recruited by the Princess Guard Kiro has abandoned him."

"That was the to expected. Although we don't fear war or blood, we don't kill our own kind."

"Kiro, you don't have to listen to others. What you did was correct. Nobody is allowed to harm the princess and it is your duty to protect her, for the rest of your life."

"As a Guard and as a husband."

When those memories flashed in his mind, Kiro's eyes suddenly changed. The horrible killing intent was getting stronger. The air was smelling pungent and suffocating to breathe.

At this moment, it was sure that Kiro would do anything to kill Kim.

'This breath…. This smell….. It seems like he will slice my neck this time. Yes, he won't let me live. He is the princess guard after all.'

Kim's breath was slowly vanishing but the flames of determination didn't vanish from his eyes.

At this moment, his heartbeat was sounding to him. He could feel his own breath. He could feel the internal energy restoring inside his dantian.

But, the breath of that sword coming towards him terrified Kim.

'No! This is not the time to give up. If I dodge it, I can fight back. I must live. I mustn't break the promise.'

'Those who give up are trash and those who break their promise are worst than trash.'

'I am no longer trash. I am no longer a loser. I don't want to be a loser.'

"Get up!" "Move" "Move"

"MOVE"

Kim roared as he pushed his hands against the ground. His body jerked away but when he was in the air, he saw the sword instantly moving above his head.

'Is this the sight of death?'

'No! This is the sight of Nirvana.'

'How can I give up? How can I think of breaking my promise? Dodge it. Must dodge it.'

Kim tried to shake his body in the mid-air but he found himself unable to do so. At this moment, his heartbeat suddenly sounded.

His heart was still beating. It wasn't abnormal. But, the sound that changed was abnormal. It was getting stronger. With each second, it was getting stronger.

"No, I can't let you continue."

Kiro realized that even a split second could keep Kim alive. He didn't this man to survive. He must kill this man at any cost.

He instantly brought his sword down. When the sword slowly reached in front of his neck, a powerful breath burst out of him.

Boom!

The breath was so strong that it smashed Kiro away. Kim who was in mid-air fell to the ground. At this moment, a strange greenish energy shrouded him.

From the depth of his dantian, a figure slowly emerged. The flame and lightning slowly changed. The eyes started spinning crazy. And the breath coming out of him turned horrible.

[Rise from the Death]

[Push the Gates of Hell and call upon the bones of death]

[Blades of Hell made a cry, Eyes of Demon God gaze upon the mortal land]

[Show the courage of the Undead, Rise from the Death]

These words resounded inside his mind. At this moment, Kim slowly regained consciousness. The horrible breath started compressing inside of him.

"Ahhhhhhhh"

The next moment, Kim screamed. He felt like his bones were being broken into pieces and reattached. He felt like his muscles were torn apart and then healed.

He felt like someone was peeling off his skin. The mind was in chaos, the body was in pain, and his soul was in the midst of an awakening.

[Second Awakening Condition has been reached]

[Battle Soul had been Awakened]

[Three Innate Body Abilities have been disintegrated]

[Three New Innate Body Abilities have been learned]

[Undying Body] [Poison Resistance] [Perfect Martial Body]

[Three Innate Soul Abilities have been disingerated]

[Three New Innate Soul Abilities have been learned]

[Heretic Evil Seed] [Call for Undead] [Bone Creation Skill]

Kim didn't get time to watch these updates. But, his mind was filling up new pieces of information. His Battle Soul had formed a thin layer of armor around him.

And, more importantly, this armor wasn't visible or tangible, or temporary. It was now the perfect part of his body.

Kiro who stood up after colliding against the wall looked at Kim with an ugly expression. He had already been jealous of Kim able to awaken his Battle Soul.

Now, his battle soul had improved once again.

Second Awakening of Battle Soul!

Less than one percent in this world has ever achieved that.

He was very close to awakening his Battle Soul but now seeing someone who had just started his martial journey and had awakened his battle soul twice, he felt like he had eaten dog food.

His face was turning green and blue and finally red in anger. He felt like his previous life was a scam.

How could anyone awaken his battle soul twice without even years of battle experience?

At this moment, he felt like the whole world was scamming him.

But, he didn't lose his confidence. There was still a massive gap between him and Kim. So, he was still confident enough to take Kim down.

Not to mention, he knew that Kim was injured due to the previous injury.

Just when he thought that he looked at Kim's stomach.

What happened?

What did I see?

Why is there no wound?

Where are the excessive blood loss symptoms?

Why does it feel like he just had food from his brother's marriage?

Once again, he felt like the world was scamming him.

When he did become so easy to scam?

Isn't he Asian?

Why was he scammed so easily?

Is he fake?

Are his parents from the west?

Kiro felt like his view of the world had been shattered.

But before he could think of anything else, a long bone spear suddenly dashed toward him. And, it wasn't all. That bone spear was followed by two more spears.
