Blessing Curse (Curse of Blessing)
46. Towards the Portal

Moon Gi Tae POVs.

All agreed and set, I will go towards the dimensional portal that is in the depths of the border forest of Cho Gu, accompanied by Sazhawa and also Na Yeong.

After planning for two days and also receiving some explanations from them, I was more aware of the picture of the black fog country.

The country only contains a black fog palace that is said to be very large and filled with darkness. No one has been able to enter there, except for the people brought by the master of black magic and the young man who possessed the destruction magic that had disappeared centuries ago.

I can't wait to see it, but I can't deny that I'm nervous at the same time.

"We hope everything goes according to plan..." Ji-hyeon caresses my arm and looks at me with her own eyes.

"I'll try to listen to all your advice and instructions.I promise I won't let you down." I looked down to return her gaze with my best smile.

Among others, to me Ji-hyeon is an ambitious princess. Sometimes it's the push from him that gets me triggered to do what's best for them.

My heart always feels at peace when Ji-hyeon worries about me, I mean that's a sign she cares about me a lot. Not long after that she hugged me warmly and affectionately, how could I not be watered down by her treatment of me like that.

Then I shifted next to her, and I was currently dealing with Mozhawa, a loving and caring girl.

"I can't give you anything, but I always pray to the god for your journey to succeed.." After expressing his feelings, Mozhawa hugged me tightly and warmly.

"I'm so grateful to you, please take good care of yourself" I replied to him as I hugged him tightly.

"Hurry to do your duty and come back soon, so that I can seduce you again...!" this time I shifted and confronted Jeong Ra. He hugged me with joy.

Of all the princesses, Jeong Ra who looks so prominent with his martial skills. He was a figure who was willing to fight for the safety of his partner. I wonder how she went through her childhood to be able to grow into a girl who is not only beautiful, but also has extraordinary abilities.

"Relax..After returning from the land of black fog you will be content to mock me...!" reply me playfully.

A small smile was plastered on his lips with narrowed eyes like he was not looking.

Then I shifted towards Chu Yi, the quiet girl. Later I realized that in fact he was not quiet, but he preferred others to express their opinions while observing him. He had his own technique, and it was one of the interesting things about him.

I fell silent and raised one of my eyebrows as she just looked at me with her cold, warm eyes.

"Don't you want to tell me something?" I asked him to be sure, making the others look at Chu Yi.

"It's not the end of our meeting, so there's nothing to say." he replied briefly. It made me nod and smile forcefully at him.

Not that I disapprove of what Chu Yi said, but I myself do not know if I can return to them.

From what I heard, with the energy of the darkness in my body, I could have forgotten myself, unaware of my ultimate purpose. I just hope everything goes according to our plan.

Chu Yi did not embrace me immediately, until I took the initiative to hug her first.

"You've made a lot of progress, Gi Tae. I'm happy to see you progress..." Dayeon with her beautiful smile expressed her flattery to me.

"This is all thanks to you as well. Please take good care of yourself, Dayeon" I warmly return Dayeon's embrace.

I turned to Chaeyun, she is the shortest of the other eight princesses. But that's what makes it look adorable. With a height just below my armpits, I immediately hugged him to play.

"Well!! Oy!! untie me!" Chaeyun rebelled from my very tight embrace to her.

"BUUKK!! BAKKK!!!"

With all her efforts she tried to escape me. Beating and pushing me, but my arms just get stronger.

"Ahaha...! look how adorable you are, Chaeyun...! I can even put you in my pocket...!" My God is holding back his rebellion.

Although I did not see the expressions of the princesses one by one, but I can confirm that right now they are just shaking their heads at me.

"Have you forgotten I'm a princess...!"

Shit, he always uses his hidden card.

"Well fine....! hhhh.." I sighed tired of laughing.

I also took it out of my grip.

"I wanted to express my sympathy, but to see you treat me just now. I wanted to kill you...!" he was obviously very upset with me.

"If I disappear, then your curse will not be solved either..."

"Fuck...!"

After her face turned red, she immediately walked away from me in annoyance.

Where's he going?

Now I'm dealing with Mizhawa, the cold and merciless girl. He just stares at me.

Sometimes his nature was almost similar to Chu Yi, but I think Chu Yi still had empathy.

I'm sure without saying anything, he already knows what I'm thinking. But it's not fair, I don't even know what he's thinking.

"Go and come back with the good news" that short sentence seemed very cold to anyone who heard it. But me? huhhh. I'm used to all that.

Without saying anything, I immediately pulled her into my arms. I don't think a sentence would be enough to convey my frustration to him.

I also cannot choose. I'm just a human born with the curse and energy of black magic, destined to destroy Daegun. They are the princesses, the successors of Daegun's power.

I will only help them until Daegun and his contents become peaceful again.

"Gi Tae, is his farewell still long?" na Yeong called me.

"Ohhh, yes, I'm sorry..."

Along with me taking off my arms to Mizhawa, I looked at her for the last and said goodbye to them.

I can't say anymore, how lucky is this foolish man like me, who can side by side and gain the confidence of the nine Daegun princesses.

I promise to come back to you...

--

"What did you say!! stop your speculation!"

"But that's right, Sazha?! you and Gi Tae-"

From a distance I heard Sazhawa and Na Yeong yelling at each other angrily.

"Moreover what they argue this time, hhhh" I immediately ran towards the two.

"If you can't stop it, then I'll"

"What is Sazhawa?" ask me after a few meters away from them.

"Gi Tae.." I saw the two of them calling me at the same time.

"I just left you for a second, but this is what you're doing?"

Do I have the right to scold them? of course, because they shouted at each other in a loud voice to disturb the calmness of the forest.

"Na Yeong started it first...!" Sazhawa seemed to be in disbelief as I blamed them both.

"You don't want to say it honestly!" Na Yeong got carried away and blamed Sazhawa.

"Have you forgotten our ultimate goal? what else is this, so that I can hear your voice clearly in the river?" ask me with a heavy voice for holding back my emotions.

But both of them were silent, making me repeatedly furrow my eyebrows while looking at them in turn.

"Can anyone explain it? why are you silent?!" I'm getting impatient with them.

"So-s"

"Uh. It's nothing, Gi Tae. Are you done yet? let's continue the journey, it looks like we've been around the portal..."

Just as Na Yeong wanted to explain, suddenly Sazhawa charged over and cut the conversation, making me even more curious.

But yeah, maybe it's not as important as it looks. In fact, I am not surprised if the two of them will not only argue, but also clash with energy. Everyone knows that Na Yeong and Sazhawa are two girls who rarely get along.

I just let this matter slip away and followed Sazhawa's words.

"Far away we searched, you came at last...!"

When we were about to continue our journey, we were surprised by the arrival of a bunch of strange creatures with heads resembling animals but stature like humans.

This must be because of the quarrel between the two of them!

"What are they?! this is the first time I've seen him!" in a panicked and angry tone, I asked the two princesses who were on my left right side.

I could also hear the beating of the hearts of those who were taken aback by this sudden visit.

"They are the ones who are the masters of black magic. A creature that cannot die and does not deserve to live...!" I heard Na Yeong say something shocking to me.

Of course I've heard of them, even from the princesses before we traveled here. But never imagined by me, that they would look this terrible.

The 5-man creature grinned viciously at us. They have the form of heads of pigs, antelopes, dogs, goats and also buffalo.

"I think my most terrible curses, they are more than just terrible...!" I murmured with horror.

"Stop discussing! I'll hand you over to our king!" I saw the pig-head hinting at his friend to attack us.

"Clinging...."

I arranged my position and took out my sword from the sheath. As well as the two daughters, they did the same.

"Remember, don't die!" I heard Sazhawa say that to me intently before putting up a fight.

"I'm not going to die! not until it's time for me to finish my work to you...!" I muttered and directly fought the pig head that had been after me.

"YYYYAHOO!!!"
