## Chapter 1071 – Ancient Beings

“Ohooooooooong!!”

The jewel skull emitted a bizarre scream as the Heavenly Demon Flick connected. The impact of the punch severed the spinal column-shaped support, sending it flying to crash against the wall.

“You son of a bitch!!!!”

I can’t forgive you!

Human blood!!!

And slaves!!!

How much human blood has this ancient bastard spilled? Judging by how it needs to absorb blood to activate its brain, it must have enslaved innocent humans like imperialists, sucking their blood!

Probably that kind of race!

Fusion Confucianism will never tolerate a bastard like you!!!

“Ooogh…! Keuh…!”

It groaned in pain, the jewel skull trembling. It didn’t seem damaged. An ordinary jewel would never withstand my punch, but it was unscathed despite being hit by my Heavenly Demon Flick.

Of course.

I didn’t infuse mana into my fist.

Of course, my mana-less fist still possesses transcendent destructive power. But its true value comes when infused with mana.

As an ancient being, it naturally possesses the defense to withstand my pure fist.

Actually, I did it on purpose.

I intentionally struck it with a pure, mana-less punch.

“Bastards like you shouldn’t die comfortably!!!”
“Ugh…!”

I must inflict the maximum amount of pain before wiping it out…! If I infused aura and punched it, it would surely die instantly!

So, I’ll beat the shit out of you with my bare hands!!

Anyway, you can only know the abilities and true intentions of bastards like you after beating them to a pulp. I feel like I have to take it with me and investigate its identity no matter what, but who would trust this bastard? If I beat it enough, it’ll reveal its hidden cards. Those who hide their strength always reveal it when they’re about to die.

So, I’ll beat the shit out of it and wait for it to reveal its trump card.

After confirming it, I’ll crush and subdue it.

More than anything, if it breaks from a mana-less punch, I won’t bother sealing it. Would I seal something that dies from a few hits? So, I’ll beat the shit out of it and find out its identity. If it dies? It was a worthless bastard from the start. That’s fine too.

“Die!!!”

Kicking off the ground, I aimed for the back of its head and delivered a Heavenly Demon Soccer Kick.

ㅡKwaaaang!!!

“Ohooooooooong!!!”

With a sound almost like an explosion, the jewel skull flew away, colliding violently with the wall again, and screamed as it shot off in all directions.

“Oog…! Keueok…! Stop! Stop!!! Human ruler, stop!!!”
“Shut your mouth!!”

ㅡWhoosh!

Immediately jumping, I bounced and bounced continuously, traversing the space, grabbed the skull, and slammed it into the ground as if dunking a basketball.

ㅡKwang!!!

An impact almost causing an earthquake.

“Uwaaaaaaak!!! Stop! Stooooop…!”

Even so, its jewel skull was undamaged. Yeah. It wasn’t made of ordinary jewels. It’s excessively sturdy, with not a single scratch. Some kind of protective magic is at work.

Then what about the brain inside?

I grabbed it and checked the brain trapped inside the jewel.

“This brain…! What race are you!”
“Ugh, ugh…! Can’t! Can’t speak! Because the brain isn’t activated!!!”
“Activated!!!”

ㅡCrack!

Observing the back of its head, I opened my mouth wide and licked its smooth back of the head with my long tongue.

ㅡTsuuuuuuk.

“Woeoeoeoeoeok!! Woeoeoeoeoeok!! What are you doing!!!”

As expected, it started convulsing when I licked the back of its head. These kinds of bastards are sensitive to honor and shame.

Someone licking their precious skull?
Absolutely unbearable.

“Stop it now!! Stop it, human ruler…! Don’t you want the knowledge of governance!!! Don’t you want to know the forgotten truths!!!”
“Shut up, you scammer!”

Of course, I’m also interested in ancient knowledge.

But I can’t trust a bastard like this, and the idea of feeding it human blood, which it demands as a sacrifice, is utterly disgusting. Just thinking about it reminds me of the black people screaming in cruel plantations, and I feel like I can’t maintain my sanity.

“Uwaaaaaaak!!”

Anyway, I think while licking the back of its head.

It seems this jewel skull is some kind of magical race that offers knowledge in exchange for sacrifices.

I don’t know how many of these races lived in ancient times, and I don’t know if it has any helpful knowledge, but considering it’s sealed in a place like this and its durability, it doesn’t seem like something to laugh off.

Perhaps if this bastard was in its prime… it wouldn’t demand sacrifices but would seek blood on its own? If not, it might cling to tyrants or vicious lords, making them grind the blood of their people in exchange for forbidden knowledge.

Or a wicked magician might have sacrificed countless humans to learn forgotten magic… Could it be!

Was this what the lich was aiming for!

To excavate this ancient being and offer the human slaves they collected as sacrifices to gain some tremendous knowledge! For a lich, doing such an evil deed would be more natural than getting an erection in the morning!

“Is that true!!! Answer me!!!”
“W-w-what! What am I supposed to do if you suddenly say that without asking anything…!”
“This son of a bitch dares to talk back!!!”

It still hasn’t come to its senses!

ㅡGrasp!

I stopped licking its smooth back of the head, grabbed it tightly, and shook it wildly as if mixing Jeti in a milk carton.

ㅡShake it shake it!!!

“Urorororororong!!!”

Then the brain inside its skull shook, and the cerebrospinal fluid foamed wildly. Even so, the brain didn’t seem to be visibly damaged, but there’s no one in this world who would be okay with their brain shaking like that.

“You!!! Your brain is shaking, you!!!”
“Please stooooop!!!!!”
“Heavenly Demon Brain Shake it!!!!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

It was quite enjoyable shaking it like that. There’s nothing more rewarding than torturing evil beings. It reminds me of when I was a kid. Really young. It was the rule to shake it like crazy after putting in Jeti.

If I could, I’d like to put Jeti inside its skull and shake it.

“Gek…! Geeek! Geeeeeek!!!”

The jewel skull made such sounds as if it was driven mad by pain, and since it didn’t seem like it would die from this, I stepped on the gas.

ㅡShake it shake it!!!
ㅡShake it shake it!!!
ㅡShake it shake it!!!

And right then.

“ㅡ!!!”

A scream!

“Woahnoeeeeeit!!!”

Some kind of scream erupted…! But this wasn’t a physical sound! It was a sound heard in the mind!!!

「ㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」

A mental wave!

This crazy son of a bitch is shooting a mental wave at me now!!!

“Fuck!”

ㅡKwang!

I immediately threw it down hard, but the mental wave didn’t stop. I quickly analyzed the phenomenon amidst the chilling pain. An attack that directly attacks and shatters a person’s mind! A mental wave with advanced techniques…!

Simultaneously with the analysis, I focused my mind and drew up my inner strength to resist its mental wave. It’s not like I didn’t expect this kind of attack. No, I was waiting for it to do this and preparing for it.

“Teeeeeeeeeeeng…!”

Beyond the tingling in my head, I felt like my whole body was floating.

“ㅡ!!!!!!!!!”

But.

This is bearable.

Suppressing the pain, I approached the jewel skull with its mouth wide open. To be able to use an attack of this level. If it weren’t for a strongman like me, they wouldn’t have been able to resist and would have collapsed.

「Cut your own throat and offer blood…! Blood to this great guardian of knowledge! Hot human blood!!!」

At that moment, a voice is heard in my head.

The voice was abnormally amplifying and stimulating my impulses. It was a brainwashing attack in the literal sense. Is this what ancient magic is?

“Fuck off.”

I grabbed the jewel skull again.

“ㅡ!!!!”

It was still shooting mental waves, unaware that it had been caught. I was a little sore at first because it was the first time I’d been attacked like this, but I’m fine now. So I grabbed it and spun it like a top.

ㅡWeeeeeeeeeeeing!!!

Spinning and endlessly stimulating the caster’s brain.

ㅡ…!

Soon the mental wave attack stopped.

“Ooh, shit…! That hurts like hell.”

Still, it was a good stimulus.

ㅡKooong!!

After spinning for a while, I immediately slammed the skull into the ground.

“Keuh…! To withstand this!!!”

It roared as if it couldn’t believe it.

“Hehehe.”

As if that would work on me.

Anyway, look.

As expected, it had hidden this trump card. When you beat up prisoners like this, they eventually use some kind of hidden trump card. If I had carelessly tried to touch it, I would have been attacked unexpectedly.

And it seems like it cast a brainwashing spell too, ordinary people would have gone crazy right away.

“Keuk…!”

There are pros and cons to paladins having seizures and trying to kill evil beings without question when they encounter them. The advantages are clear, but the disadvantages are too great. So I don’t really like that method.

But if there’s one thing to benchmark.

It’s that they scream and beat the shit out of evil beings as soon as they see them.

That one thing was really great.

That’s why I beat the shit out of those bastards as soon as I encounter them, then I subdue them for sure. And after extracting all the information, I kill them. That’s the way of the Heavenly Demon Kim Kat.

“But this bastard… dares to attack the benefactor who woke him up from the seal?”
“Benefactor? To think such words would come out of your mouth!”

What?

“Benefactor!!!! Benefactooooooor!! Dares to attack the benefactooooooor!!!”

It seemed like an unbearable rage was erupting! Not only did this bastard hide his strength, but he also hit me in the back of the head, who was no different from a benefactor!

If it were a living thing, I would have skinned it alive on the spot!

“I-I can’t understand…! What the hell are you! It’s true that you broke my seal, but what you were doing until just now…!”
“This bastard is even talking down to me now?”
“Shut up, human!!! This is the end of your absurd behavior!!!”
“Absurd?”

What nonsense.

But is it thinking of using a mental wave one more time?

“ㅡ!!!!!!”

Once again, a mental wave erupted, but its output was extremely lower than before. If this isn’t a trick to make me careless, it seems like it used too much stored energy.

I’ll be careful, but now it just feels like a mosquito flying near my ear.

“Give it up, you little shit. It doesn’t work anymore.”

ㅡKwang!

“Kwoheok!”

The mental wave attack stopped as soon as I kicked it.
It flew like a soccer ball and hit the wall.

“This…! This can’t be…! I can’t believe it!!!”

A voice as if denying reality.

“Shut up. I’m asking you if it’s okay to act like this to the benefactor who released you from the seal, you little shit.”
“You don’t think about what you were doing until just now!!!”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“What?”
“Hehehe, it seems like this bastard still doesn’t understand the situation…”

I grabbed the skull right away.

“Then what are you going to do.”
“…”
“From now on, you have to accept everything I say and grovel to save your life, no matter how ridiculous it is. I think you know that very well, right?”

People often think that I’m just spouting nonsense while going crazy… but I’m just forcing that unreasonable absurdity on those who deserve it.

Whether I freak out or not.
Whether I spout nonsense or not.

All these bastards have to cater to my whims.

Nonsense without context?
Suddenly popping out nonsense?

If you don’t want to die, cater to me.

“Bow your head to me and cater to my whims.”

That is the correct way to treat me, Heavenly Demon Kim Kat.

“I, I am immortal…”
“Ah, shit. Want to taste some Sword Flame?”

I grabbed Bugaal again and ignited the Sword Flame.

ㅡWhirrrrr!

“Should I split you with this? When I look at it, I think you’ll be split in one hit, you little shit.”
“…”
“Your precious brain, like a hairy ball.”

And for some reason, I feel like I can gain great power if I cut this bastard.
