Magical Items Bundle (1)
Magical Items Bundle (1)
In the dark cave, the woman opened her eyes.
Her glossy black hair rippled around her waist, and her eyes gleamed with the dignified ferocity of a fierce tiger.
"Who are you? The one spying on me."
The woman was recovering her strength. She hadn't always been a woman. Not until she'd accidentally hit herself with the spell she'd fired during her deathmatch with her arch-nemesis, Exorcist Hana.
Two shots of Jaungyeokhaeng.
It was a spell packed with all her Yoryeok, fueled by the intent to kill her foe. The energy in the sorcery was so overwhelming even she couldn't undo it. It was a killing blow that never factored in any recovery.
The Demon King formed a hand seal.
She sensed a gaze upon her. Where was it hiding?
Above, below, to the sides? None of those.
Outside.
A gaze from outside the world.
"Reverse Binding, Inner-Outer Reversal."
The Demon King's spell tore the world apart. A rift cracked open in the empty air, forming a door to the unreachable.
To find whoever was surveilling her, the Demon King threw herself into the rift.
A foggy mountain peak with a shrine, guarded by two Jangseung at its front.
"Was it you watching me?"
"I am the General of Heaven!"
"I am the General of Earth!"
"How did this happen? This guy shouldn't be able to come here!"
"The Demon King is too strong! She's defying the laws of the world! Get lost, you order-disrupting scum!"
The two Jangseung roared with eyes blazing, their voices booming.
They looked ready to devour the Demon King. She scoffed and shot back at them.
"You're immortals, aren't you? Buddies with the Taoists, right? Hey, got anything worth taking?"
In the next instant, the Demon King slipped into the shrine.
She moved at a speed the two Jangseung couldn't detect and scanned the interior.
Granite tombstones were embedded in a circle.
At the center sat a sacred altar holding a single book.
The Demon King rolled her eyes and read the inscription on the tombstones.
- Author's Note
Thank you all as always. Cheers to more in the future!
"...?"
As the baffled Demon King tilted her head, the Jangseung bellowed.
"Come out right now!"
"That's where the secrets of heaven are kept!"
As the Demon King rolled her eyes to read the book on the altar, a massive gust of wind pressure slammed in. It was an energy trying to banish her back to the mortal world.
The Demon King silently endured it and read the book.
The wind was intensifying.
- Taoist Majo Does Not Lose
- Chapter 0
- The only change was the gender. Mukmyeong's combat prowess remained intact.
But the Demon King was different. To cast that powerful binding, she'd exhausted all her Demonic Aura, and a deep wound scarred her waist.
Recovery would take a long time.
"This is...!"
Records of the past listed in paragraph form. Frantically flipping through the pages revealed records of the present and future too.
The legendary Book of Life and Death from the Underworld. No, something even more mystical.
Records of everything.
As the Demon King tried to read more to grasp the world, the two Jangseung roared thunderously.
"You should've died by Mukmyeong's hand back then! You altered your fate!"
"Daring to twist the story with your vile sorcery!"
"Intruder, forced deportation!"
"For the crime of leaking heavenly secrets! Face punishment!"
Kwaang.
She couldn't hold out any longer. A storm of spiritual pressure shoved the Demon King back to the mortal realm.
Flying through the fog, she defended against the General of Earth's amnesia spell. Even grazing it would cause infantile regression. Blocking the two immortals' pincer attack wasn't easy.
The Demon King barely fended off the amnesia and returned to her cave.
Udatang, she tumbled to the floor.
She chanted the binding spell to re-enter Daeracheon.
Inner-Outer Reversal. It didn't work.
They'd blocked her access from that side. With the immortals grinding their teeth, entering the Celestial Realm was impossible.
But the gains were huge.
Even that one quick peek had flooded her mind with knowledge of the Three Thousand Worlds.
"That exorcist is still alive."
Mukmyeong. Her ultimate nemesis with extreme resistance that nullified bindings.
The one shot she'd poured all her Demonic Aura into had landed, but even that had backfired, injuring them both.
The Demon King gnashed her teeth.
There can't be two suns under the heavens. Next time they met, she'd kill him and reign as the supreme one.
First, she needed to recover her strength.
The Demon King closed her eyes and sifted through the branches of vast knowledge for what she needed.
"Out of pride, I really didn't want to do this, but no choice."
There were many ways to replenish Demonic Aura, but the best by far was intercourse between man and woman.
The act of creating life was when energy surged the strongest, allowing her to suck out and absorb as much essence as possible from others.
It was the easy, fast path.
Even with the shortcut right in front of her, her petty pride had made her take the long way around.
But now that she knew that exorcist was alive, there was no time to dawdle.
What did it matter this way or that.
As the Demon King steeled herself for the decision, she touched her lips. Soft woman's fingers brushed them.
"But this is a bit much..."
A Demon King's pride existed. I'm a man, damn it. The Demon King gathered her thoughts and gave a bitter smile.
"Does pride put food on the table?"
Those who seek the crown must bear its weight.
With a massive resolve, the Demon King stepped out of the cave.
==================================
Requests had been scarce lately. When Muk Seo-ah had no work, she holed up in her room for meditation training.
It was hard to get around. The Yin Mark activated up to four times a day.
Muk Seo-ah sensed the various energies within her body.
One was Cheonae Yuseon's. Another was the Yin Mark's. As a bonus, traces of Poppy Essence lingered too.
The Poppy Essence kept her body hypersensitive at all times, and the Yin Mark delivered the finishing blow to her heated state.
The cycle repeated. When the Yin Mark activated, Muk Seo-ah shamefully arched her back and climaxed.
But that was ending now.
Muk Seo-ah had found a clue from the immortals' words.
'Cheonae Yuseon is the power to reject what I hate. So, does that mean my subconscious isn't rejecting this pleasure?'
Humans think they control themselves with free will, but really, they're swayed by petty emotions.
A guy who swears off romance forever turns his head at a pretty girl passing by, and someone vowing celibacy from today grabs their dick before three days are up.
Reason isn't the heart.
The subconscious makes choices even you don't notice.
Cheonae Yuseon wasn't pushing out the Yin Mark because Muk Seo-ah's subconscious had accepted it.
Muk Seo-ah hated admitting it.
She wasn't some pervert addicted to orgasms, drooling fluids like a slut. She could just blow away this stupid Yin Mark.
"Cheonae Yuseon. Resist the pleasure. I hate feeling good. I won't feel anything anymore..."
Muk Seo-ah muttered like a madwoman in her room, hypnotizing herself. She wouldn't go outside until she overcame it.
She'd failed twenty times already, sniffling and squirting over the past few days.
This time was different.
Muk Seo-ah's eyes sharpened like blades.
"Block it."
Kuwoong. The Yin Mark activated.
Her whole body's sensitivity maxed out, waves of lust crashing in. Her mouth opened involuntarily, a faint moan escaping. Muk Seo-ah's nipples stiffened, poking through her clothes.
Cheonae Yuseon's pure energy blocked the lust. It expelled the lewd energy from her body.
But her aroused body from the Yin Mark remained. Tingling pleasure flowed down her back.
"Euuuung!"
Muk Seo-ah squeezed her eyes shut.
She bit her lip and tousled her hair with both hands, waiting for Cheonae Yuseon to purge all the Yin Energy.
'I can't give in.'
Getting blissed out and loopy in this situation would waste all her effort.
A pleasure-soaked mind wouldn't see the Yin Mark as an enemy. It had to be an enemy. Like a germ for Cheonae Yuseon to expel.
"Haa, eut..."
The trembling in Muk Seo-ah's body subsided. In that brief moment, her thighs grew slick.
The Yin Mark, which had been thrashing wildly, was crushed and subdued by the pure energy.
It worked.
Cheonae Yuseon's victory.
But Muk Seo-ah's head was filled with the urge to touch herself. Probably bad subconscious again. She shook her head to shake off the impulse.
"I won...!"
Now she could control the Yin Mark.
Early morning. After barely holding back the one that nearly hit right after waking, she washed up with excitement and headed to the dining hall.
Three familiar faces were in the dining hall: Lee Gak and his buddies.
They'd been talking about the girl they'd banged last week when they spotted Muk Seo-ah and waved happily.
"Hey, noona! Long time!"
Lee Gak had heard the rumors about Muk Seo-ah.
Whispers spread subtly among the guys in the Pleasure House: a exorcist who walked around with a Gak-jot like a pervert, leaking fluids solo.
Low credibility, but stimulating news.
Some guys got secret hard-ons every time they saw Muk Seo-ah. They'd jerk off imagining her innocent eyes glazing over, whispering dirty jokes behind her back.
Some even targeted her outright.
Muk Seo-ah hadn't noticed, but there were plenty.
Lee Gak was one of them.
'Does she really stuff it in and walk around?'
Lee Gak swallowed hard.
"You were waiting in the room last time. Let's drink together."
"Sorry. Had something urgent."
Muk Seo-ah brushed her hair behind her ear and sat.
Lee Gak and one friend eyed her body and face.
'She's extra slutty today.'
Lee Gak instinctively knew. He was a guy with tons of experience. He could tell at a glance she was a bit aroused.
'What? Did she masturbate this morning? Or no way...'
Lee Gak smirked.
Opportunity.
"Got time? If you're free..."
That was when.
Kwang. The dining hall door burst open violently, and a clown-dressed man danced in.
He pointed to the bundle on his back and clanged a gong noisily.
"Buy my wares! One-of-a-kind mystical items you won't see anywhere else! Carbon Paper that makes perfect replicas of real things, a Mirror that hypnotizes, a Bamboo Tube that eats memories..."
A suspicious list of items. The Pleasure House Employees busied themselves chasing out the nutjob Peddler.
"What the hell are you doing in someone else's business?"
"If you wanna peddle bundles, go somewhere else!"
"Aigoo, aigoo! These are real effective items, I swear!"
Muk Seo-ah side-eyed the man.
Demonic Aura wafted from his bundle. Not dangerously so. Just trinket level with Talismans slapped on.
Exorcise him? No one commissioned it.
Grabbing the merchant and demanding he hand over his goods would just make her a thug, right?
Muk Seo-ah's purification was basically just smashing stuff with an axe. Didn't look good no matter how you sliced it.
'Ignore him. If it's trouble, someone else'll handle it.'
Muk Seo-ah buried her head and emptied her rice bowl.
She polished off a full bowl in the blink of an eye.
"Ah, that hit the spot. Gonna head up first."
"Already?"
Stunned Lee Gak. Muk Seo-ah eyed him closely.
These boys seemed fun but a bit sleazy. Leave 'em be, they might mess with those Magical Items.
Before leaving, Muk Seo-ah warned them.
"Don't buy crap like that on a whim. Could be real Magical Items. Best to ignore Peddlers."
"Dangerous stuff?"
"Not that bad. But normals could get hurt."
Muk Seo-ah spoke from her perspective. After years as an exorcist, her senses were dulled. Nothing was risky to her, so she didn't sweat minor Magical Items.
After she left, Lee Gak and his friends exchanged lecherous looks.
The bundle Peddler grumbled as he was kicked out of the shop.
"Kinda curious, though."
The most level-headed of the three young guys scolded him.
"If she says don't, then don't. What's good about Magical Items?"
"Scaredy-cat? This pussy's shrinking."
"Dickhead. If you're gonna talk dick size, whatever. Last time you chickened out solo too. We groped that exorcist chick's tits."
The guy bristled in anger.
Lee Gak and one friend snickered at him.
"No, dude! I just thought it might be dangerous-"
"Ah, fuck off. If you're not scared, come along."
"First time with Magical Items. Wonder if there's fun stuff."
The two guys stood first. The remaining one stared in disbelief, then followed cursing.
The bundle Peddler was heading far off. Lee Gak and his two friends hurried after him.
=================================
"Kehek!"
The Peddler hit the ground. A deserted alley. As he walked, the young men suddenly ambushed him.
The Peddler took a blow to the head, tripped, and was dragged. A tall, muscled guy snatched the bundle from him.
"Ooh, lots of stuff? Hey, he's got money too."
"Jackpot. Found free cash."
"Wh-who are you! Doing this outta nowhere...! I'll report you!"
The Peddler yelled furiously.
Lee Gak and his friends ignored him and rummaged the bundle.
"What's this? Mirror? Paper? Why's this Bamboo Tube so filthy."
"D-don't touch! Do you know how precious those are! I brought 'em straight from the Underworld...!"
Lee Gak opened the Bamboo Tube. A hazy something was inside. It had a label: Bamboo Tube that eats memories.
Lee Gak pretended to sprinkle the contents on the guy. Nothing came out, but the man's face suddenly went blank.
"Uh... uhh. Um...?"
"Hey... this shit works."
Lee Gak got serious for a sec, then shouldered the bundle and bolted back to the Pleasure House. Quick thinker. His two friends followed, fleeing the scene.
"No way. For real?"
"It's legit! With this, we can do anything!"
"Jackpot! Jackpot!"
