Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Chapter 176 – Gathering of Malice [2]

No one knew what happened here or why the trees died. Who owned the manor and what they did remained a mystery.

However, passersby who got lost often described that they heard an inhuman scream from inside.

"Aaaaahh!"

At this moment, a loud and anguished scream could be heard from the manor, breaking the silence. It was followed by a series of muffled groans and gasps.

A boy stood terrified behind the tree, his eyes wide and his hands shaking. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His pants was wet with yellow liquid, and his body was tense.

He regretted his choice. He wanted to prove to the girl he loved that he was a brave, strong, and adventurous. So he came here without hesitation. But now, his heart was filled with fear.

"I have to run."

His voice was trembling, and he could barely speak.

All he had to do was to get out of here. His parents were waiting for him outside, and he had promised to return soon. He couldn't disappoint them.

"Aaaaaaaahhh!"

The scream continued, and the boy was sweating profusely. He turned and ran at full speed, ignoring his numb legs and pounding chest. No matter what happened or what he heard, he planned to run and run until he was safe.

But before he could take his first step, a shadow appeared in front of him. It was an expressionless woman wearing a black robe and blindfold. Her hands were hidden inside her sleeves, and she was staring at him, her gaze boring into his soul.

"Ahh! Who are you? Get away from me!"

The boy shouted, his voice cracking and his eyes wild with fear.

But he couldn't run. The woman was standing right in front of him, her presence overwhelming and terrifying.

"You should've never come here, boy. This place is not for you. Now, I will have to punish you."

Extending her hand, the woman grabbed him and dragged the boy into the manor. Unlike the monochromatic color outside, the interior was dyed in red, the walls stained with blood and the floor was slippery with crimson liquid.

The boy could barely breathe. The smell of death and decay filled his nostrils, and the air was hot and humid.

"Let go! Let go of me, please! Don't kill me, please! I beg you, please don't kill me!"

He struggled and fought, trying to break free from her grasp. But, he couldn't escape.

"Don't worry, boy. You will not be killed. Rather, rejoice! As you will become one with Supreme Evil's heart! Your body shall be its new vessel!

Heart was laughing, and his eyes were filled with madness and bloodlust. He brought the heart to the boy's mouth, and the smell was overpowering.

"Eat, my son."

With force, he pushed the heart into the boy's mouth, stuffing it in.

The boy tried to resist, but he couldn't move. His throat was blocked, and his mouth was open.

A strange feeling was building up inside him as he felt the heart moving down his throat, creating an unbelievable pressure.

He was suffocating and couldn't breathe.

It was too much.

But, something changed. The boy could feel his body growing hot, and a strange energy was flowing through him.

"I will use your body wisely."

With a smile, Heart fell to the ground like a puppet with broken string. Following that, the boy landed on the ground, his body limp and his mind hazy.

For a moment, everything was silent.

No one dared to move or speak.

Then, the boy opened his eyes, and his expression was different. A sinister smile was on his face, and his eyes were glowing red.

He stood up, his body was naked, and he examine it carefully.

"What a wonderful gift."

He looked at Head and Eyes, and the women shivered. They could feel a dangerous aura surrounding him.

"The time has come. Three of us has been defeated, and their malice have returned. We have enough energy to move and take action. And now, I have the perfect vessel by accident. Everything is according to his will. All hail Supreme Evil!"

With a loud voice, he began to chant a strange and unknown language, his body glowing with a purple light.

"All Hail Supreme Evil!"

The two women echoed, their voices ringing and their faces flushed with excitement.
