Chapter 8 - The Evil Manifested _8

Lynn** whispered to herself:

*"I do not want Shwan... And yet, every time, I do not understand how he makes me smile. But that Meng of his... Also a good-looking fellow? "For a queen like me that won't do!" *

All of a sudden she was awakened by a nudge from the minister beside her. Composing herself, she said:

*"Very well. Let us get the contest started, please." *

Then she declared loudly: 

**"Let The Games Begin!" **

**Shwan** started sketching and teasing:

*"Can't let you win, Ming! *

Ming* ignored him. Shwan sketched a mountain beneath a moon ("Saints' Cosmos"). Ming goes big with a monster: Yusfor, King of Hell

When they were done, **Lynn** ordered:

"I need you to tell me the story about what's happening in your pictures." *

**Shwan** stepped forward: 

* "There are no saints. … The Saints' Cosmos is a fantasy cosmos …." In this universe, even if one tries, no one can become a saint. But there's no shame in imagination!" *

**Ming** thought bitterly: 

*"Idiots like the above do not deserve sainthood! I just dream of such a terrible world where it does..."*

**Lynn**: 

*"Ming, your turn."* 

**Ming** stated: 

*"Yusfor, King of Hell."* 

**Lynn** gasped: 

How do you know my great-grandfather!? "*

A minister interjected: 

*"Sovereign, this is most beyond sense! No one knows him." *

**Lynn** rose angrily: 

*"Who in hell are you?!"* 

**Ming** asked: 

*"Do you know Wang?"* 

**Lynn**: 

*"Of course! Who doesn't?"* 

*("I must deceive her..."* Ming thought)

Then he said: 

*"I served Wang. In the library, I ran across portraits of Yusfor and discovered his name." *

**Lynn** nodded: 

First he was all powerful—he'd naturally go to the Hell then come back. Now he's undergoing Bone Refinement … What are you doing here? Did you betray him?" *

**Ming**: 

*"No... He's dead. Myong family, and them," he said of Wang. *

**Lynn** froze: 

'* *Did a General-class monster appear?! "*

**Ming**: 

"Uh... They were misled by the Juan family." *

**Lynn** coldly: 

*"That's perfectly natural! Let's continue." *

**Round 2**: Tie. 

**ROUND V: ["Skoton's Kill"]** Last Round: "Jakun Kills Emu"

**Ming**: 

*"To the death!"* 

**Lynn**: 

*"No!"* 

Without warning, **Shwan** dived on Ming—yet Ming was uninjured.

Ming's voice went demonic:

*"Finished?" * (^Unleashes **Bone Glancing** aura)

Shwan** trembled: 

*"I beg you! Don't kill me!" *

He surrendered, lifting his hand in the air.

**Lynn** thought: 

*"I never thought Shwon would stoop so low...Bastard!" *

The crowd cheered: 

*"Long live the new King!"* 

A guard approached Ming: 

*"Your Majesty, come with me to the palace of the Demon Tribe. *

--- 

As he got in, the palace resounded:

*"Hail King Ming!"* 

Three ministers bowed: 

- *"I'm First Minister: Minkal"'; I Feel Nothing: Minkal. *

- "I'm Second dignity: Xiao." *

- *"I am the Third Minister: Sinfar." *

**Lynn** sat in the throne room, waiting.

**Lynn**: 

*"You surprised me! I never thought any single man could combine beauty and power." *

**Ming** smiled: 

*"Nor I, all the beauty in the universe within one woman. *

**Lynn** laughed darkly: 

*"You know … They're all demons to me. And you're their king." *

--- 

Eventually, **Ming** found **Shwan**.

He found him thrashing a crying maid:

**Maid**: 

*"Sir, I'm pregnant!"* 

**Shwan** struck her: 

*"Silence! Your husband's dead — it's my turn now!" *

**Ming** emerged, clapping:

*"Never seen such depravity!" *

The maid rushed to him: 

*"Save me!"* 

**Ming** coldly: 

*"Want power? There is a way… When Man and Woman join in Refinement, and thus are pure energy." *

**Maid** panicked: 

"Impossible to sacrifice my child!" *

Ming grabbed her—and turned her into rawhide.

Shwan** begged: 

*"Don't hurt me!"* 

**Ming** demanded: 

*"How dare you desire Lynn? She's your sister!" *

**Shwan**: 

*"Not my sister! Father King adopted her." *

**Ming** declared: 

*I will turn you into #Mukhannath.* *

And to the sound of **Shwan**'s gasp, they set him alight.

*"I... trusted you..."* 

**Ming**: 

*"I don't care."* 

--- 

**Sha Rift**, Ming spotted **Lynn** and ministers fighting with the monsters.

03 The Rift Lord struck at Lynn--** Ming cut off his hand! **

Lynn beheaded the beast. 

The gateway began collapsing.

**Lynn** cried, punching Ming in the shoulder:

*"Why did you do that?!"* 

**Ming**: 

"You're my future wife … I have to keep you safe. *

The gate detonated, and everyone was blown apart.

--- 

Ming went to look for Lynn and found her lying unconscious--**bound in dark chains. **

He muttered: 

*"Impossible... But no matter. Xiao will fix this." *

When she came to in his arms, **Lynn** blushed:

*"What are you doing? Release me!" *

He produced a dirk… **and threw it away. **
