Hwayugi fanfic (Korean odyssey) : Guardian

Oh Gong's past part 5

Whatever, just think of it as an unfair bargain.

This bunch of despicable human.......

In the end, he still went to the dragon palace and took a weight-bearing pillar. He spent 3 days and nights, and finally, managed to block and extinguish the fire pillar in the volcano.

Strangely, after the fire pillar was blocked, something that was sealed feels like it would break free soon. He brushed away the uneasiness and did not give it a second thought.

The volcano mountain no longer breathes smoke, but because the dragon palace lost a pillar, half of the mountains and rocks collapsed and the sea became turbulent.

The entire spiritual realm was enraged.

That day, the sky and ground were ominous. A sea of divine soldiers charged towards him. He battled for several days and nights. The sky became dark, sands and rocks were flying wild.

Although he was born with immense power, how could one of him stand against tens and thousands of divine soldiers? That fight caused many casualties to the spiritual realm but they nearly captured him.

In the end, they did. He was thrown into the jail especially used to seal divine beings and demons. He's locked away to await his punishment.

Oddly, they also captured the human girl. According to Oh Jong, they still haven't figure out who that girl is as her name does not exist within the 3 realms (human, spiritual, demon). Her parents died because of her. The human that looked after her did not bother to give this mentally deficient girl a name.

The day he was captured was the first time she spoke.

Son Oh Gong.

His name.

She is not eating or sleeping and is about to faint due to hunger. What are they thinking when they tried to imprison her here?

This jail is not meant for a human. Because the deities can't figure out who she is, she's kept here until they sort things out. They send her meals every day so she will not starve, but she doesn't eat them and will always carefully push the food in front of him.

He's in a terrible mood and would kick away all the food. The thing is, he is a deity and there is no need for him to eat. Eating delicious food is purely for enjoyment.

But, she's also not eating.

He doesn't want to argue with someone so childish. Most of his power is sealed and he doesn't know how to heal someone who is about to die of starvation. Therefore, he gave up and forced himself to eat the low-quality jail food from the spiritual realm. She beamed at him with happiness.

However, the bone-chilling cold from this jail is not something she can endure.

He can tell, that the silly girl that would laugh along with him doesn't have much time left. At night when she sleeps, he would hold her hand and pass her some of his energy. However, all is futile.

He feels like there is something picking at his heart, and it feels uncomfortable.

He's really annoyed with this filthy girl, can they throw her out of here? Doesn't matter where as long as it's not here...... As long as she gets to live. He asked in agitation.

But none of the deities answered.

2 days later, 2 deities came. He thought, he committed a big crime and they would probably just going to destroy him. But then he thought, what about her?

They said, they finally know what she is.

Then hurry and bring her back to where she belongs. He thought. So he doesn't have to waste any more of his energy on her every night....

But--------

One of the elder deity looked at her frail form and said, this is.....fate that was not meant to be.....

He points at her forehead, shooting a beam of white light.

She slowly opens her eyes. He's shocked. Are you awake?

The old deity asked her, do you remember your former self?

She nods.

"Then, do you want to return back to what you once were?"

She shook her head.

He frowned.

He feels that the old hags were lying to him, her mind's not clear at all.

"Because the weight-bearing pillar extinguished the fire pillar, the dragon palace collapsed and the fire demon sealed under the fire pillar is also about to awaken. Are you willing to sacrifice and jump into the fire pillar to become a seal to lighten The great sage's sin?"

He started sweating.

Obviously, the old deity is not speaking to him, but to the girl who he always believed to be silly.

"Oi!"

His voice rumbled.

She lied in his arms, eyes pure and clear, just like how they were when they first met.

Then her lips moved slightly and said:

"Yes."

In a light breeze, the elder deity took her away from his arm.

His eyes burned with the urge to kill, enough to scare himself.

However, most of his power was sealed and passed her his energy every day, there was not much left in him. There's nothing much he can do. He doesn't know, where she will be taken.

Before this, he thought she would die in jail, never expecting that there'something worse than death waiting for her.

Before she left, she looked at him with all of her remaining strength. Her lips moved, but only his name came out.

In the last few days where she accompanied him, her human form is already at its limit.

In the few days after she left. He created chaos in the jail, scaring away every deity in the spiritual realm. After a few days, he heard a deafening sound loud enough to shake the world.

But, from that day onward, he became quiet again.
