Overgeared

Pulling out the eyeballs—it was the habit of the yangban Haejin. Humans should walk around with their eyes to the ground. Occasionally, someone would raise their heads and she would threaten them. She had actually done it several times. She didn’t take into account the fear and suffering of her victims. The yangbans were the masters under the heavens and there was no reason to think from the perspective of a victim.

“Kuaaaaack!”

Haejin’s sharp scream shook the ship as her left eye was cut. The shock wave that occurred caused the deck to become turbulent like they were riding on the waves. Grid stood on top of it and questioned Haejin, “How does it feel when your eyeball is pulled out? Does it hurt?”

“Ugh... Uuuuck!”

Half the world seemed to be gone.

Haejin barely saw the silver-haired woman in her narrower field of view and she cursed, “You...! You will be the human who dies in the most terrible way since Taejo! The moment I become a god, I’ll have your blood and flesh! I’ll find all those who have been in contact with you and kill them!”

Red paint was sharply sprinkled on the world dyed white that was just like blank drawing paper. Haejin’s anger and killing intent exerted influence on Chiyou’s mental world.

‘Indeed...’

Jingle.

Chiyou acknowledged it. The yangbans were Hanul’s masterpiece.

Pagma, who he had shown mercy to; Garam and Haejin, who tried to overcome their humiliation; and Mir, who wasn’t buried by his talent—there were differences according to their inclination, but most of the yangbans had the potential to obtain a God Killer qualification if they got the chance.

“My children will bring you rest.”

‘If such children continue to appear and cooperate with Mir...’

It was around the time when Chiyou remembered Hanul’s promise and felt anticipation for Haejin...

“I won’t allow your comfort.”

An uncomfortable energy was felt from Grid’s eye and it tried to exert some influence on Haejin. However, there were no changes. Haejin’s anger and killing intent didn’t fade at all. The mental world was influenced by her will and gave her a strong power.

‘What?’

The Castration Eye had no effect? Haejin’s combat power was amplified as Grid was feeling puzzled. The red paint sprinkled on the pure white world gathered together and took the form of a sword. The red sword filled with a murderous spirit was held in Haejin’s hand.

Just as Grid used Storm of the Fire God in the second trial, Haejin carved her own image in Chiyou’s mental world. Storm of the Fire God caused by Grid and the red sword held in Haejin’s hand were just fleeting mirages that disappeared the moment Chiyou denied them, but Chiyou watched silently. This world was just a space created for proof of combat ability. Chiyou had no intention of restricting the participants.

"I won’t allow your comfort!”

Grid felt a sense of crisis and once again triggered the Castration Eye. Once again, the Castration Eye had no effect. It was because the beneficial effect of the strengthening came from the mental world, not a physical force. The only method to weaken her was to break her heart, not the evil eye.

“Haaap!”

Haejin’s counterattack began. Her sword bent like paint on a brush. Her red-black sword spread out. The attack range was very wide and light, so it was difficult to avoid.

“Kuoock...!”
