Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

But, he wasn't afraid. He was confident in his ability and his power. And with his new form, his body Qi was stronger than before. He raised his hand that was fused with the bow and stopped the axe, his fingers wrapping around the handle.

"What the fuck?"

"Huh?"

Sherly and Lee Hae-In were shocked. They couldn't understand how the man could stop the axe. It was out of their expectation for the attack to be blocked and didn't even leave any damage.

"Did you forget?" Torso smirked, his body glowing with a metallic light. "I am our Master's torso. My body is made from the best materials and I train a lot. And my ability to absorb and store Qi is amazing. There is nothing you can do to hurt me."

Sherly and Lee Hae-In could see the truth behind his words.

Absorption was Supreme Evil's specialty, and the man in front of them had the ability to copy it. He had been absorbing their Qi ever since they started the fight, and their strength was decreasing while his was increasing.

They were no match for him.

Or so Torso thought.

"Wow, that's scary."

But Sherly's surprise only stopped at that. She snapped her finger and the axe that got stopped earlier suddenly moved forward, cutting his hand off cleanly.

"Huh?"

A stupid sounding voice escaped his mouth as he realized that his hand was cut off. It didn't hurt or anything. It was just a clean cut, and the hand was on the floor, unmoving. It melted into a strange goo, absorbed into the floor.

"Did you think you were the only one who can absorb? I'm a martial artist trainer of the Hallowed Insect. My ability... my element is a bit special."

Sherly laughed, her body was glowing with a golden light, and everything around them changed. The melting world was now a golden world, and the Qi absorbed by Torso was returning to her, making her stronger and faster.

"Oh, and by the way, you didn't kill me or Lee Hae-In. And I can't kill you in this world. I have no power to take life and I am afraid of doing something like that. You see, I am a kind girl with a soft heart."

She was still smiling, and her eyes were shining.

"But, there is someone who can do that for me. Someone with a large amount of hatred for you. And I, in this world, shall turn that hatred into power. With the power of my imagination."

Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind her. It was a large and dark shadow, its shape was unclear, and its eyes were burning with fire.

It was the shadow of a person, and it was radiating power and hate. The shadow was holding a large and heavy axe, its tip digging into the ground and cracking the floor.

"Meet, Dark Bitch Lord, Lee Hae-In."

Sherly waved her hand, and the shadow roared, swinging the axe with all its might.

It was an attack that could destroy the world, and Torso couldn't avoid it.

A large boom rang out, gouging the world and leaving a large hole.

And the man known as Torso, one of the Supreme Evil's followers and the leader of the Torso Mercenary Group, was at the center of the explosion. His blood vessels ruptured, his skin was torn, and his internal organs were crushed and destroyed.

But, he didn't die.

He was too strong, and his ability to regenerate was beyond anyone's imagination. He could recover and come back.

His body might be injured, but that was only on the surface. His Qi, the source of his power, was still flowing through his body.

However, there was a problem. He couldn't move.

Golden chains suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped around his arms, legs, and neck. His body was pulled down, and the ground opened up, swallowing him whole.

The chains were tight, and the world was spinning. He was losing his consciousness and his breath.

It was no longer a martial artist fight. Sherly's element was just... too unique. A one of a kind that couldn't be found in the real world. She called it a reincarnation or transmigration cheat ability, something that could grant her unimaginable powers.

But, this ability had its limitations.

She couldn't kill or destroy anything, and the damage she dealt was only a scratch. In short, she couldn't fight directly. But, it was still an ability that was worth watching.

"Let's continue the execution."

Like a dictator, she was laughing and pointing her finger at the man below her, her eyes filled with excitement. She was having fun.

"You're going to enjoy this, asshole."

With a flick of her finger, the golden chain tightened, and Torso felt his body was being ripped apart. The large Lee Hae-In raised her axe once again.

It was a nightmare.

"You fucking bitches! Fuck you!"

But his cursing only fueled the barbarian's excitement. The shadow laughed and raised the axe, her body shining with a metallic light.

"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Dieeeeeeeee!"

With each word, the axe fell and chopped the man into two. Chains sprouted from the ground and tied him, pulling him into the darkness.

And after a few more hits, the man disappeared.

Only the golden world was left, and the two women were sitting on a throne in the spectator area, a cup of wine in their hands. The golden world had disappeared, and everything was back to normal.

"Wow, that was a ride." Sherly giggled, "Are you satisfied with this kind of revenge, Lee Hae-In?"

"Not quite." The barbarian girl frowned, her eyes cold and fierce. "But it's a start. This man was only an errand boy. I am after their head boss, the one who is responsible for my clan's slaughter."

"I understand." Sherly nodded, her eyes flashing. "Our Leader also wants that person dead. If we find them, we will kill them without hesitation. They are our enemy and we have to do what it takes to win."

A serious expression was on her face. She was not a warrior or a martial artist, but she took this matter seriously.

"Coach don't play, so I hope you are satisfied with my help, Lee Hae-In. If you, in case, want my help again, I can offer it in the form of a new martial art. Just call me."

"Got it."

With a nod, Lee Hae-In drank the wine and smiled. She couldn't be more satisfied.

After all, the Hallowed Insect had a powerful ally.

A person who could even control a dimension and create a fake world. This was not the end.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

No, it was just the beginning.

Her revenge had just started, and the enemy was still out there.

As the two women stood up, they smiled at each other. The bond they formed during the mission was deep, and their trust in each other was stronger than steel.

They had a common enemy, and their goals were the same.

To defeat the Supreme Evil and bring peace to the world.

Situated not too far but not too close to the imperial capital, inside a dead forest with gloomy atmosphere, a manor stood tall and proud, guarded by a group of crows perched on top of the wooden gate.

Countless bones and skulls could be seen scattered around the property, and the scent of death permeated the air.

This manor was called the Gravewood Manor, taken from the name of the nearby forest.
