Hwayugi fanfic (Korean odyssey) : Guardian

Three bets part 7

At the same time, he has been trying to break through the barrier everyday. His body is covered in wounds and blood.

Although the existence of Buddha's seal of Marble mountain was not especially there to imprison him, it's indeed something that is on par with his power.

500 years of bad memories........

Whenever he exhausts all of his power, the light would dim and everything will restart and resume to its original state. This makes him think of something: Beast taming.

Once he gets tamed and succumbs, he will never be able to escape from here. Now, thinking back, calling Jin Seon Mi as his second Mable mountain was actually privileged. Because she put the GGG on him and made him fall hard for her. She's a Marble mountain that will make him laugh and be happy. She's a Marble mountain who would also care about his safety and life and death. But now.......

He thought his power would have become even stronger after conquering the 99 trials and because he has someone he wants to protect, he thought he's different now but.......

His injuries did not cause any concerns with that woman that imprisoned him. When the day restarts, his body would remain exhausted but all of his wounds would heal. Death is not the most terrifying part but losing his sense of time is what drives fear in his heart. And this fear also includes his worries for the someone who is waiting endlessly for him.

He doesn't have a lot of patience left.

If this woman imprisoned him for tens and thousands of years he would go crazy. Patience is wearing thin. The spiritual realm has probably realised that the Buddha's seal was stolen, but judging by their efficiency at resolving matters, it would take a long time before they can find him.

He knows that he doesn't have the patience to wait.

Another unexpected thing was that the malice in that woman's heart is polluting the Buddha's seal, causing it to be tainted with evil.

As time goes by, he feels like he is devoured by darkness and silence. All the loneliness and despair are coming back to him......he's really scared that he will be lost in this timeless world. He's more scared because her waiting will become the root of his pain.

The nature of this imprisonment is very different from the last one.

No matter how much anger he vents and rages, this prison is trying to wear down his patience and sanity. He begins to feel that the 99 trials of the underworld were kind. Because he can fight. He had a choice. He can win or if he's defeated, then he can at least die.

Imprisonment is the cruelest form of punishment.

He's no longer alone. So now he can't afford to get injured or die. Because there's someone there for him to protect.

-----------------------------

It's also not very peaceful in the human realm.

All the demons are making their moves after the rumor of the great sage's disappearance. The barrier he put up also collapsed due to his absence.

Although the woman he protects is no longer Samjang, but the lotus blood is still greatly desired by all the demons.

Seon Mi is also well aware of this fact.

No matter how urgent she feels, for his sake, she must protect herself.

Tonight, for some unknown reason, she was really tired and fell asleep on the sofa. She had a vague dream. In the dream, she went back to her childhood, back to the ......forest that she met her fairy-nim for the first time. The forest's enveloped by fog and darkness. This dream feels bizarre and the moment when the familiar house enters her sight, she immediately jolts awake.
