My Range is One Million - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: A New Page 1

Hwiii…

A strong gust of wind blew across the shrine.

The strings attached to the ancestral tablets flickered with a silver light as it began to lift itself up into the air and flew towards Jaehwang. A white cloud of dust then surrounded him and made him feel strong and energized.

Taktak… Papag…

The floor of the shrine torn in half and all the furniture was pulled up into the air. Everything in its path was destroyed as it opened the way for the moon to show and reveal it’s light. Jaehwang remained unbothered as he continued to lie down on the floor with his eyes closed. He didn’t know if what was happening was a good sign or not but he chose to just let it happen. He just smiled as he let time pass on its own.

And then, something happened.

A red light started bursting out of his chest. The cloud of dust grew even further as everything that remained floating in the air started to glow with the same color. It then started to move and take form into a shape of some animal.

Geureur…

The white dust as well as the red lights gathered into a single point and gave life to an enormous roaring beast.

-Keuang!

It took shape into a small tiger. It proceeded to run across the shrine which was covered by a glowing crimson light. It then started to slow down as its pulsating energy decreased to the point that the white dust inside of it began to leak.

Whirriring…

The ancestral tablets emitted a surge of energy and bounded themselves together. He tried to gain focus to understand what was happening but the force was so intense that it took all of his strength to barely pull through. He continued to exert his strength until he saw a blue colored light explode out of the three ancestral tables in the air…

Kwakwang!

The three tablets that bursting with blue light then exploded, hitting all of the other tablets that hand a red light. All of the energy lights then turned red and everything started to shake…

-You again!

An angry voice resonated throughout the shrine. He disregarded the other tablets that remained in the air and looked towards the red light.

Papapang!

-Keureur!

The red light shook the entire shrine.

-These people! Wasn’t it enough to just lock them away for 500 years?

The red tiger began to roar and the blue ancestral tablets started to shake faster as a clear voice started to talk.

-Blame all of your terrible heroes.

-Who are my heroes? I just had to follow my strengths… If I knew that these people were so hopeless then I would have personally asked them to die!

-You can’t break out again. They’re all gone because of you. You know that right?

-…

-They protected you and you relied on them.

After hearing that, the red lights grew brighter as if it was trying to display the voice’s rage.

-You should be buried in despair.

-You deserve to be punished by the gods. But, we’re in a dangerous situation right now. What should we do?

-What?

-The moment our ancestors’ life sentence finishes, you’ll be free again.

-Well… For one thousand years the commandments have been protected at all cost. Things were going great. You promised. You said you would protect the kid till the end.

-Our ancestors have been carrying our destiny on their shoulders for generations, I didn’t know that they were the last ones. It must be hard so we have to protect them. But whoever it is, they can’t blame us.

-I know. I will also keep my promise.

After the two of them finished talking, the red and blue light energies mixed together and faced Jaehwang.

-You’re all the world has left, stay here and help this kid. Until the day comes, you and that kid would have to choose between life or death.

-Huh? We have to choose?!

The red light suddenly began to shake.

-Everything has already been decided. Follow along. Here.

-These type of sneaky people… I like them!

The red light replied as if it was complaining. The blue light then went into Jaehwang’s injured right eye. The red light later followed as the ancestral tablets that were emitting the blue lights began to lose its strength.

It gathered a lot of strength to subdue the other lights however, the blue light broke free and swooped through the air as if it still had something it had to do. It dashed straight over Jaehwang’s body and remained in place.

-Now, through this light, I will give you strength and energy.

He helped him so he could help his ancestors. He begged him for his help, he begged Jaehwang to save all of them.

-Please, help us!

There was then the sound of dozens of people screaming.

Patpatt… Patpatt… Patpatpattt…

A red light emitted out of his eyes as his body absorbed the white dust surrounding him. He continued to absorb everything until the tablets floating in the air lost its power and fell to the ground one by one.

A strange feeling started to spread through Jaehwang’s entire body.

Udeudeuk…

The bones inside his body became distorted and made a cracking sound. His face was then horrendously deformed and he felt more pain as time went on.

Kwahdeuk… Udeuk

The power surged through Jaehwang’s face and made his face muscles squirm. His hair and eyebrows fell out and flew together with the wind as all of the bones in his body were taken out and was later re-assembled.

Jaehwang’s body dried out and his eyes started to crack. He was worried if he would die like this. His skin then turned white and was torn open like a shell. The pain had finally stopped and he was now born again.

Turning over a new leaf

His entire body gushed out a torrent of black energy which was then replaced by a bright sparkling light as his body took on its new form. All of his scars from the accident disappeared and was replaced by skin that was good as new. He looked like a prince before but now, he bore an honorable face belonging to a saint.

Everything was perfectly structured again and his hair grew until it reached his shoulders.

Swoo…

A few of the last ancestral tablets fell from out of the air. Jaehwang’s perfectly reborn body was then dropped on the floor. There were only two ancestral tablets left and they trembled anxiously until a voice came out of them.

“We have now given you everything.”

“Haha… Great. Now save us…”

Pasasak…

“Save our legacy and undo everything!”

The three ancestral tablets then shattered and reduced to dust. The white energy from the shattered tablets then covered Jaehwang before they disappeared without a trace.

Paat…

The shrine thereafter exploded with white energy and poured every last drop of it into Jaehwangs body..

Whoosh…

The strong wind from the shrine eventually died down.
