Chapter 212: The Truth Revealed

“Thanks, I’ll take it from here.”

— Stopping the attack…

Rumi replied and she immediately stopped the attack. Jaehwang then went towards the building to find Baekren. He soon saw a black hole, he fired his arrow inside it to realize that it was just like a sinkhole.

“Hm.” Jaehwang decided to make his way down into the hole and as he went further, he found himself surrounded by a thick cloud of dark smoke. He couldn’t see anything but he could tell that someone was there.

“…”

He saw something. He caught a glimpse of a shadow but he didn’t see enough to make a guess about who could it have been. Blood was dripping down on his face and he seemed to be running away from him.

It didn’t take long before the shadow revealed himself and it was Baekren. He looked at Jaehwang with a smile and said, “Isn’t the weather great… ”

“It is,” Jaehwang replied and it was true, the sky was completely clear that day.

“So? Nice fight, and it seems it’s our first time speaking with each other. I’m Baekren.”

“I’m Jaehwang.” Baekren looked at Jaehwang’s face and said,

“You don’t seem so happy. Isn’t this fight going well for you?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Alright,” Baekren said, wiping away some of the blood from his face. He felt like he was going to die soon.

Jaehwang then looked at him and said, “There’s something I wanna know.”

“What is it?… ”

“Are you a part of the Samjeon church? Why are they doing this?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve only ever helped them for a small amount of time so they could help me with a spell.”

“Oh. So you’re not a part of their team?”

“No,” Baekren replied. He was doing his best to not reveal so much while also trying not to die. “It’s a really long story and we don’t have time for that.”

Jaehwang then raised his hand and said, “I’ll heal you.”

A white light shone out of his hands and it went to Baekren to heal him. He stopped before he could fully recover and said, “I will heal you completely if you tell me everything.”

“Alright,” He replied, however, Jaehwang looked at him with an unsure expression.

“You don’t believe me?”

Jaehwang continued to look unsure and that was enough to answer his question.

“I wasn’t going to say this but even without my help, the Samjeon incident would still have happened. There are others where they could get their assistance if I said no, they weren’t strong enough yet to handle everything on their own anyway. It was common for them to get some help from time to time,” Baekren said but Jaehwang looked a bit confused.

“This happened at the beginning of the generation mashup?”

“Yes, during the beginning… It’s already been sixty years,” Baekren said and he too was surprised at how fast the time seemed to go by.

“You were there?”

“Yes, I’m actually 83 years old.”

Jaehwang was surprised at what he had said. It meant that he was as old as Gwanjae.

“I stopped aging right at the beginning of the generation mashup. Wanna know about the spell that I used?”

“Not really.”

“Hm, is that so? If you don’t get old then you can achieve much more in your life as a hunter.”

“Just continue the story.”

“Alright then.” Baekten closed his eyes to think of everything that happened… he imagined as if he was back in that time.

“I had many friends within the Samjeon church group. But… it’s not like it used to be. I really believed in him. Turns out I shouldn’t have trusted him. That guy used a spell on Gwansindu and was punished for it. However, he had the other members backing him up and of course, they weren’t going to let him die.

“So did they help him?”

“Helped him… besides helping him, they went to the Alousu. If they had stayed in Korea after that then it would have only turned into a bigger issue, right? After that, they were able to stay out of any major trouble and with that, they were able to spread their name. Now they’re one of the most known groups in Korea,” Baekren explained.

“They’re the ones who taught me that spell… and if really helped them then, they wouldn’t have such a good place for themselves. Doesn’t that answer your question?”

“Yes,” Jaehwang replied as he stood up to leave.

“Wait! Stop!” Baekren shouted.

“What?”

“There’s something I need to say.”

“What is it?”

“I have something else to tell you.”

“I think I’ve heard all the things that I needed to.”

“You’re gonna regret this if you don’t hear me out,”

Baekren replied and Jaehwang walked back to listen to him.

“The world’s fate is at risk.”

Jaehwang gave him his attention since it was something that he had always been worried about. He also thought about not leaving Baekren to die.

“It’s alarming,” Baekren said.

“Yes, it is but well, thanks for letting me know.” Jaehwang started to walk away but he stopped. “Could you explain what you mean about the earth’s fate being in trouble?”

Baekren then replied, “It’s going to be destroyed.”

Jaehwang then looked a little confused.

“Do I need to explain more? Heal me and I would.”

“Then I’ll give you an example.”

Jaehwang then continued to heal him.

“In the past, there were three organized dimensions for the three worlds…”

“And?” Jaehwang asked after Baekren took a pause in his words.

“It was all because of the Dakosu monsters, those absolute trash,” Baekren said as he crushed a rock in his hand. “They used a spell to turn people into insects and after destroying as many lives as they could, they went on for more.”

“We’re they punished?”

“Yes. they were sent far away but, unfortunately, the damage was already done. Even after they tried to stop them completely with the dragon.”

“The dragon?”

It was the monster that was supposed to go to the Alousu and make everything right but its strength wasn’t enough to get rid of them.

“Yes, the dragon. A human’s strength wouldn’t have been enough anyway.”

“It was that 12th tier…”

Could that really be true? It was unbelievable. That meant it was even more powerful than any monster that Jaehwang had ever fought.

“What will cause the destruction? Could it be the dragon of the Dakosu monsters?” Jaehwang asked, Baekren nodded his head and answered,

“No. They could be a problem but there’s a bigger problem than them.”

Pang!

“It’ll be something like that,” Baekren said after breaking three rocks at once with his hand.

“Was there any type of warning that could’ve prevented it?”

“Maybe.”

“The dragons could have missed something,” Baekren said. “Even if there was a mistake. There’s no going back.”

“Do you have any ideas on how to fix it?”

“It’s simple, we could just stabilize the three dimensions once again,” Baekren said as he picked up another rock.

“Do you have a way to do that?”

“Yes. I’ve been studying how the Dakosu monsters used the three dimensions to their advantage in the past and I’ve been thinking about how to deal with the world situation for a while now. With my idea, I think we’ll have a good chance at fixing it.”

If the three dimensions could be organized again, Baekren would have to reveal every truth in his mind and if he had to, he would be in trouble. Nevertheless, what he said was true and his biggest goal were to fix the three dimensions.

“How are you so sure? Have you seen the dragon in the Alousu?”

“Yes.” Baekren replied.

— Is he telling the truth?

The spirit inside Jaehwang asked.

— I’m not detecting anything.

— Alright… If everything he’s saying is true then…

He couldn’t forget what the spirit said. His past family would never be able to escape their misery and be free. He would never have a chance to save them.

— That can’t be.

Jaehwang never wanted to give up on saving them. He was willing to do whatever it takes.

— Your family would understand.

“Whew…” Jaehwang took a deep breath and looked at Baekren with an unsure expression.

He wanted to hear more until there’s nothing left for him to prove. He couldn’t kill him even though a part of him feels that he’s lying. Jaehwang then took a moment to process everything.

The Truth Revealed, The end.
