Green Skin

Chapter 48

I slowly began to open my eyes. I had returned back to the Green Goblin Clan’s Village after the battle. Beside me was Jung Hayeon sleeping with a rather pleased face.

It has been three days since the battle in the pit. Despite that, the aftermath of that fight still lingered on my body. I was able to hear soon after awakening how the battle had unfolded. I started to materialize that memory in my mind.

“ The fat human that the Captain fought died. It was the girl that probably killed her. Since other humans were dealing with the corpses, I couldn’t approach any further. ”

“ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ”

“ You gave so much to her, and yet she ran away just like that. You definitely can’t trust humans. Be careful. The girl that you’re mating with was originally a human as well. ”

Even though she spoke that last sentence in a whisper, there was no way Jung Hayeon wasn’t able to hear that. Jung Hayeon glared at Mev, who shrugged her shoulders as if she spoke what she had to say. With a natural expression, I left the tent.

Although Mev initially didn’t have much animosity towards Choi Seulgi, it seems that she harbored some dislike after this event. Rather than jealousy, it was a feeling as if the animal she raised ran away without being able to recognize the grace of the owner.

However, it wasn’t like I did not understand why she left. Choi Seulgi, who was unaware whether I had reincarnated or not, might have relocated to a different city for a different purpose, but I did not imagine she would not even spare the thought of saying goodbye to us.

Come to think of it, it seems that Choi Seulgi was solely believing in the Blood Dagger Clan. As for the Green Skins that loved to fight, gifting us this opportunity wasn’t bad from our perspective, but it was no different from Choi Seulgi setting up a trap for us to clash against the Red Cross Clan.

I wasn’t sure that the battle was provoked with her calling us over to this cave, but I think that about half was based on luck. If she truly wanted us to ensnare us into a trap, she would’ve revealed our exact location to those guys. It seems that she was waiting for them to ‘ discover ’ us.

‘ Smart. ’

She’s just like in the past. Still smart.

Her ultimate goal is probably the Saint Sword. With the nationwide wars that will occur across the continent in a few years, it wouldn’t be easy to anticipate a guess where she would move, but she would probably settle in the North.

Since the one that inflicted the largest harm against the Saint Sword was the ‘ North ’ after all.

I stopped worrying about Choi Seulgi. Of course it wasn’t like I wouldn’t think of her at times, but I could meet her anytime as long as I put my mind into it. Since both our objective was perfectly matched. She must grow more among the humans, while I must become stronger amongst the monsters. Choi Seulgi may be important, but I was also desperate.

‘ I must be stronger. ’

For Choi Seulgi, myself, and to help all of my clan members, I need to become much stronger. I haven’t lost to Lee Youngdon. It would be proper to say that I had won, but despite that, the fact that he had escaped in the midst of the battle will never disappear.

He nearly killed everyone including me.

If I had failed to awaken my Unique Ability, Lee Youngdon may not have fled and won the battle.
