Absolute Regression - Chapter 240
Episode 240 I finally opened my eyes.
I opened my eyes.
Even though I woke up in an unfamiliar place, I felt so refreshed that I stayed in bed for a while. Usually, when I sleep for a long time, I dream all kinds of things, but this time I slept soundly without even dreaming.
How long did you sleep?
day? Two days? Seeing how hungry I was, I thought I might have slept for 10 days.
Then I remembered one person and jumped up.
“Soma-sama!”
When I looked around, I realized that this was not a medical room.
An unfamiliar bedroom that I have never been to before. The clean bedding had a fragrant smell, and the beds and furniture had the quality of antique furniture instead of feeling old.
Then something caught my eye.
That thing hanging on the wall…!
Surprisingly, this was my father’s bedroom.
My last memory was of my room, so why was I sleeping there?
A clean set of military uniform was placed next to the bed.
After changing my clothes, I looked around the bedroom in a daze. Even though it is my son, this is his first time entering the room.
‘Your father gave me a room?’
I don’t know what the situation was, but this fact alone was very touching. I lay down on my father’s bed again.
The thought of my father sleeping here made me want to lie down even more. This may be an opportunity that never comes again.
At that time, I heard my father’s voice outside the window.
“If you wake up, come out.”
I jumped up from the bed and went outside.
My father was sitting on a stone table in the yard, drinking tea.
“To recognize that it is the Heavenly Demon’s sleeping quarters, don’t you usually have to look at the symbol of the Heavenly Demon’s soul or the Heavenly Demon’s sword? “But you found out through floral pajamas!”
Hanging on the wall was my father’s floral pajamas.
My father put down his teacup and said, in response to my joke.
“I guess it’s worth living now.”
“It feels like I’m flying.”
In reality, the body was healed just fine.
“Why am I in my father’s bedroom?”
“Because I brought it here.”
“Are you in the medical room?”
My father nodded at my surprised question.
“I wasn’t the only one who went. “All of your few connections have come.”
I could roughly guess who would have come.
“Aren’t those few people ultimately earning daily wages?”
How about a million per day? One thousand per day, one thousand per day.
“What happened to Soma?”
My heart was anxious, wondering what might happen. Because my father was a man who could casually say, ‘Soma is dead,’ while drinking tea.
“The doctor is continuing treatment.”
I was relieved to hear those words. The power of the single word ‘horse medicine’ is so great.
At that time, the Cheonmajeon priests came and brought me porridge. Since it was a meal eaten after starving for several days, it meant eating lightly. This is my father’s consideration.
“Have you eaten?”
“I did it, so I will lift it.”
“Okay then, I’ll be grateful.”
I never thought porridge would be this delicious. After emptying the bowl cleanly and drinking a cup of tea, I was still hungry, but I felt like I could live a bit.
“Where did you get the perennial snow ginseng?”
“Ya Yul-han brought this as a gift for Oh-ro-shin-geom’s 90th birthday.”
“What about cleaning up after them?”
“Bisain decided to take care of it.”
“Can you do it?”
“Yes, I believe I can.”
“You chose that child to be the next Apostle Lord.”
“I don’t think it’s a bad choice.”
At that time, the Cheonmajeon warrior brought something and put it down in front of me and left.
“What is this?”
“Open it.”
When I opened the box, it contained perennial snow ginseng.
I was surprised.
“Where did it come from?”
“why? “Do you think they at least cut open Soma’s stomach and took it out?”
It must have been an elixir from the Heavenly Demon Treasury. Only the Heavenly Demon knows what’s inside, but I also know roughly.
“Are you giving it to me?”
“okay.”
“Why are you giving me this precious thing?”
“I willingly gave up the perennial snow ginseng for my mazon, so of course I should return it.”
I emphasized the word ‘my Majon’. This means that you are not yet a mazon.
“Are you afraid that Extreme Soma will be taken away from me?”
Then my favorite expression appeared. That unique sneer made with the corners of the mouth rising.
“You don’t want to eat? “If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“It can’t be!”
I quickly put what I wanted to take back into my mouth.
It was sweet and bitter, more fragrant and tastier than any elixir I had ever tasted.
He radiated the true energy and completely melted the energy of the perennial snow ginseng, turning it into internal energy. As the inner energy of Perennial Seolsam was added to the new level of inner energy, the inner energy became more pure and solemn.
While I was crying, my father was looking at Daecheon Mountain in the distance with his back to me.
I went and stood next to my father. Instead of saying thank you, I first said I was sorry.
“I’m sorry, father.”
A son who falls into danger is simply unfilial.
“I just need to know.”
“I will not forget the grace that bestowed me with perpetual snow ginseng.”
Would you have given me this precious thing just because you gave it to the evil Soma? There is another meaning behind my father’s gift of Permanent Seolsam. And that’s what I guessed.
“You said it. “I will fight for succession without shedding blood.”
“yes.”
“Do you still have that same thought?”
“No change.”
My father said nothing more.
I could tell. Sooner or later, my father will decide on a successor. Perennial snow ginseng was a gift given to finish the succession battle well. Because I guessed that fact, I heard these words in my ears every time I chewed ginseng.
‘Eat this and do well!’
If my father is going to make a decision, I also have to settle the matter with my brother one way or another.
“Brothers, we will join hands and see you soon.”
This was what my father wanted. The final test in selecting a successor.
Since I knew my brother’s personality well, I thought that this task might be more difficult than killing Yayulhan.
Since I was no longer my opponent in terms of martial arts, most of the Magons had become my people, so it was actually more difficult. Because I didn’t know what kind of unreasonable moves my brother would try to make.
“If you’ve finished eating, leave now.”
“Can I go to bed, put on my father’s pajamas, and sleep for just one more hour? “It’s so soft and good that I don’t want to leave.”
Just as my father was about to say something, the Cheonmajeon warrior came and reported.
“The Poison King is back.”
As soon as I heard that, I said hello and ran away.
“Then I will go.”
I could feel my father’s eyes on the back of my head, looking at me with a puzzled expression.
Okay, father. The succession battle will end this time. I also have a long way to go.
* * *
The carriage carrying the Poison King and Cheonhwaruju entered the Heavenly Demon Church.
“Look over there!”
There was a huge statue of an evil spirit standing where Seo Dae-ryong pointed.
“Look at the other side over there.”
On the other side, stone statues were pointing swords and swords at each other. There were stone statues that reproduced the Heavenly Demons of the past, and there were also stone statues that looked like the spirits of the Heavenly Demons.
“Incredible.”
He answered with admiration, but the statues did not appear in Tianhuaruju’s eyes right now.
Her heart was beating vigorously. You will soon hear news of Extreme Soma.
While I was here, there was no news about Extreme Soma. So she didn’t know if he was alive or dead.
The Poison King did not say anything about the life and death of Extreme Soma. I didn’t even comfort him by telling him it would be okay.
Seo Dae-ryong felt that the poison king was a very different person than he seemed.
He is a person who should not be judged by his youthful appearance. The sight of him staring blankly at a poisonous plant or digging in the dirt is just a part of him.
The carriage passed through the outer garden under tight security and entered the inner garden. The security has become several times more stringent.
Now everyone in the group got off the carriage.
Tian Hualouju looked around and his eyes stopped on a certain place.
From a distance, a sword dance was walking towards them.
At that moment, Tianhuaruju’s heart was pounding like it was going to explode. What news will Geommugeuk deliver? I hope Extreme Soma is safe.
The sword dance that came closer spoke to her.
“Soma is still receiving treatment.”
Geommugeuk spoke honestly to her.
“I did everything I could. Our school’s God of Faith also did his best. Now it’s up to Soma.”
Then Tianhuaruzhu smiled brightly.
“Then you don’t have to worry.”
She was a woman who believed in the evil Soma like heaven.
I felt reassured because it was Geommugeuk, not someone else, who spoke. If Geommugeuk did its best, then it really did its best.
“You must be tired from the long journey, so please get some rest first. “I will treat you as an honored guest at our school until Soma wakes up.”
Chen Hualouju bowed his head and expressed his gratitude. The civil servants who followed her guided her to the annex.
As she left, Seo Dae-ryong ran to Geommugeuk and tried to hug her.
“Why is this so disgusting?”
“I said it because I was happy to see you, but is this something you can avoid by using footwork? “I wonder if it would have been like this even if this warrior had come running.”
Seo Dae-ryong rushed back. This time, Geomgeuk did not avoid him but obediently hugged him.
“I was really worried this time.”
“Then you should have come running then. “When Yayulhan surrounded me with his self-immolation technique, you should have come and taken care of the three clones.”
“Huh! Did he also use self-immolation?”
“Is that all there is? “The demon-shaped sword energy rushed at me as if it was going to eat me.”
Seo Dae-ryong quietly took a step back.
“As you know, I am a person suited to being an investigator. Don’t waste senior admission!”
If you’re going to say something like that, your eyes shouldn’t be so burning.
“I am going to say hello to Master.”
When Seo Dae-ryong left the place, the only person left was the Poison King. He deliberately didn’t come forward because he wanted the two of them to talk quietly.
“Thank you for your hard work, Poison King.”
“Am I in trouble? “You guys worked hard.”
The Poison King asked Geommugeuk.
“Did you get what you wanted from this fight?”
After a moment, Geomugeuk spoke.
“Yes, I think I got it.”
The Poison King, who was staring into Geommugeuk’s eyes that became deeper, walked towards Cheondogrim and said.
“Come visit Cheondokgrim when you have time.”
As he walked, the Pidokcheon Jamsa gloves that Geommugeuk had given him as a gift were hanging dangling from his waist.

Finally, Extreme Soma opened his eyes.
I could tell that I was lying in a dressing room because a unique medicinal scent reached my nose.
My last memory was the back of a sword dance. I fell asleep while thinking about why my body felt so comfortable when I was running at such a scary pace.
When I looked inside my body, I realized that my body, which had felt like a battlefield, was peaceful. Even if the war wasn’t over, there was at least a truce.
I could tell by the state of my body. He arrived safely at the main school and the magician treated him. Because the only person who can heal that body is a magician.
Extreme Soma slowly stood up. I sat down on the bed and looked at Tokyo. The white mask was still covered in blood from the fight. The mask was not even touched during treatment.
Extreme Soma suddenly remembered a moment.
The moment when Geommugeuk grabbed his arm when he had a premonition of death and was about to take off his mask.
―I don’t look at that face because I think he looks better than me!
A smile appeared on the lips of the evil soma behind the mask.
At that time, someone entered the room and said.
“Are you awake?”
The person who entered was Ma Yi.
Even though he knew that he had saved him, Geukaksoma skipped the greeting and first asked about the sword dance.
“What happened to Gongja Lee?”
“It was the first time in my life as a lawmaker that I was so exhausted. “I brought Mazon on my back in that condition…”
A little worry flashed in Extreme Soma’s eyes.
But soon, Ma Yi smiled and said.
“You don’t have to worry. “Now I’m going to carry Mazon again and go back the way I came faster.”
Only then did Extreme Soma feel relieved.
“I heard that Gongja Lee also slept for several days. “Well, I arrived earlier than Jeonseo, so I was definitely exhausted.”
It was faster than the previous book? Yes, I remember. How desperately the sword dance was performed. In the meantime, he shared his energy and made his body feel comfortable. Extreme Soma knows very well how much of a drain on mental energy this is.
Only after hearing the news of the sword dance performance did Geukaksoma politely express his gratitude to Demon Doctor.
“Thank you for saving my life. “I’m sorry I’m late in greeting you.”
Ma Yi shook his head and said.
“I have no one but myself to thank.”
Ma Yi bowed his head politely and said.
“Thank you for releasing my lifelong resentment.”
The son in Ma Yi’s heart has now begun to age.
“Now, first, dissolve the energy of the perennial snow ginseng in your body. “If Lee Gong-ja hadn’t taken it, Mazon wouldn’t have been alive until now.”
This time, Geukak Soma remembered the moment when Geommugeuk made him take Permanent Seolsam. I also remembered the sword dance performance where I was sobbing because I was afraid of dying.
Feeling that he had so much to be thankful for to Geommugeuk, Geukak Soma closed his eyes and began to melt the energy of Permanent Snowsam.
While Geukak Soma was awakening, Ma Ui sent someone to inform Geommugeuk that Geukak Soma had awakened.
When Extreme Soma melted all of his internal power, his eyes under the mask became even colder and deeper.
After a while, Geommugeuk, who had been waiting outside, came inside.
Geommugeuk spoke to the extremely evil Soma wearing a mask.
“The color on your face looks better today.”
Was this a joke about sword dance that I really wanted to hear? He said this when he saw the blood on the mask.
“You even had a blush on your face.”
Extreme Soma laughed out loud.
We could tell without even saying how much we appreciated each other. These words from the extremely evil Soma who had just come back from the dead were enough.
“Let’s go fight again later.”
“great.”
No more words were needed.
“A truly precious guest has arrived at our school.”
When Geommugeuk opened the door, the person who had been waiting outside came in.
She was none other than Tianhuaruju. She was so worried about the evil Soma that she came all the way to the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church, but she was always worried that she had come to a place she should not have come to.
But the moment I saw Extreme Soma, all those feelings disappeared. she could tell That there was no need to worry in the first place.
I’m so happy to see him.
What more reason do you need? Nothing else mattered. I thought I had come to the right place even if Extreme Soma was angry.
And Extreme Soma responded to her wishes very well.
“You said you wanted to see my room a long time ago, right?”
