Absolute Regression - Chapter 259

Episode 259: What my father wanted to see.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t see the demon’s face.

As it happened, the first evil spirit to appear was the evil spirit in front of the wooden doll.

So all I could see was the back of the evil spirit.

Four parts of the wooden doll were cut off and the evil spirit disappeared immediately.

There was a difference between being cut by an evil spirit and being cut with just a sword. When the evil spirit appeared, its speed and power became faster and stronger. Considering the magical energy emitted by the demons and the visual and psychological effects, the true destruction ritual is only complete when the demons appear.

I used the method of destruction again.

Sigh!

The evil spirit appeared again. But again, only the back was visible.

I felt both joy and disappointment that I had finally done it.

‘I wanted to see what it looked like! ‘I tried so hard to see your face, I didn’t mean to see your performance!’

Then a thought crossed my head.

‘ah! All you have to do is bring a copper coin!’

I was about to go get Tokyo, but I changed my mind.

I thought it wasn’t right to watch it like this. I decided to accept the order in which martial arts appeared. If you don’t want to show it, fine.

‘I look at the faces of other demons first.’

* * *

“Is anything good happening?”

Ilhwa Geomzon could feel that Geommugeuk’s expression was brighter today.

“There was an achievement in swordsmanship that had been blocked.”

“ah! I’m glad.”

Ilhwa Geomzon was happy. I have achieved great accomplishments through dancing and talking about martial arts along with sword dance. It is really difficult to achieve achievement at Mazon level skill.

But I never dreamed that I would be able to achieve the next level in such a short period of time.

“You are truly unpredictable.”

When Geommugeuk first came, I thought it would last for a day or two. Since he had become a small religious leader, he thought he had come to manage his personal connections.

But no.

What Geomugeuk said on the first day was true.

The only person who can teach you swordsmanship is you.

Geommugeuk sincerely wanted to talk about swordsmanship with him. I tried to teach and learn the deep meaning of martial arts.

Although she had been practicing swordsmanship all her life, this was the first time she had thought about it, discussed it, and debated it so seriously.

On this occasion, she felt it. How much you have longed for a time like this.

Bimu friend.

Geommugeuk approached me as a true non-dance friend. Now those words will have a deeper meaning to her than any other relationship.

So these words were her sincerity.

“You and I are the only people I can talk to about Lord Xiao.”

Geommugeuk smiled and drew his sword.

“Then shall we share?”

When they flew into the air, all the demon swords came out and watched. Of course, because they were fighting so high up, they couldn’t be seen in detail.

There were just countless quick flashes of sword light.

However, the demon swords fell in love with the sight as if they were possessed by something.

When leaving after finishing the dance like this, Geommugeuk always said this to the demon swords he met.

“I learned a lot from Geomzon. “I envy you guys.”

Ilhwageomjon was happy when he heard this. Whether flattering or sincere. It was such a joy to hear such praise from none other than Geommugeuk.

A person who generously spreads the enlightenment of martial arts and speaks such words to his subordinates… how could you not fall for it?

* * *

My training continued.

External events that Sogyoju had to attend kept getting pushed back. It was my father’s consideration after hearing that I was crazy about training.

Even the mazons didn’t look for me. I thought Chuma would come and ask me out for a drink, but he didn’t come either.

At school, there was only talk about So Gyo-ju, who was crazy about martial arts.

I only danced with Geomjon, and after finishing the dance, I practiced the destruction method like a crazy person.

Because so many wooden dolls were cut down, metal dolls arrived at my gym. It was a special steel doll that was made by mixing age-old iron and steel and could not be cut by swords.

Kaaaang! Kang! Kaang! Kaang!

A cool metallic sound was heard repeatedly.

How many times have you seen a demon’s back and couldn’t turn your head away at least once? I even had this thought.

Repeat and repeat.

And today, the gift of that boring repetition arrived.

Saaagh!

The sound of the destruction ceremony changed again.

At that moment I saw

Another evil spirit appeared behind the steel doll.

It was the second appearance of a demon.

And this time I could see the demon’s face. I was shocked for a moment.

It didn’t look scary. Surprisingly, my first impression was this.

‘handsome!’

Surprisingly, the demon I summoned was a handsome demon.

It was the face that would have appeared if the painter was shown the face of the Poison King and asked to draw a demon based on this face.

‘Is it okay to do this?’

I was really surprised too.

Could it be that this evil spirit reflects the mind of the person using martial arts?

I didn’t think the demon’s face should cause fear in the opponent. I was just focused on seeing the demon’s face.

Is that why? Instead of being a scary evil spirit, why did this kind of evil spirit come out?

As this happened, I became curious about what the evil spirit that showed its back looked like. Would they look the same? Or would it look different?

In any case, to make sure the faces are all different, you need to make the demon on the left or right appear as well.

Curiosity was driving my desire.

* * *

“I think training should last until today.”

Ilhwa Geomjon nodded with an expression of anticipation.

“Are you planning on doing closed pipe training?”

“How did you know?”

“It’s intuition. I’ve been feeling your heat building up lately. “The moment to pour it out for the last time has come.”

“As expected, you are amazing.”

Geomjon’s eyes towards me were different from when he came to me to dance this time.

“Thank you so much, Lord Xiao.”

“I was grateful too.”

I became closer to her than ever before. I think I’m now standing two steps away from her. That was out of character for her. No matter how close you become, there are people who won’t even allow you to take one step further.

“If the martial arts is blocked, it will come back again.”

“I will prepare for you.”

I read the will in her eyes. If we grow once more here, our school will face a new era of Ilhwa Geomzone.

Geomgeuk looked around the training hall. Now, this is the end for the time being.

“Next time I come, it might be Mook’s narrow yard again.”

“It will be a more exciting dance with a free spirit.”

Ilhwa Geomzon smiled and looked at the training hall together.

“Since it’s the last day, can you give me some time today?”

Actually, I had something prepared for her today.

“Seo Dae-ryong, who became Lord of the Netherlands, is like my right-hand man. So, I would like to have a small celebration today.”

“If it’s something like that, you have to make time.”

“We also invited Hyeolcheondo Demon. “Since you are Seo Dae-ryong’s master, I think you should serve him.”

Ilhwa Geomzon knew. Naturally, he was trying to take himself away to make room for Hyeolcheon Doma.

“Can you wait a moment? “I’ll change my clothes and come out.”

“Yes, you can prepare slowly.”

Today, she took more time to wash, put on makeup, and choose clothes.

* * *

The place where Geommugeuk and Ilhwa Geomzon arrived was a hill with green fields under Daecheon Mountain. Drinks and food were prepared there. It was a dinner prepared by Geommugeuk at the request of the masters in advance.

Ilhwa Geomzon looked around and said.

“Was there a place like this around our school?”

“If you look around every corner, there are many wonderful places. From now on, please travel and rest.”

“What fun can you have alone?”

At that time, Hyeolcheon Doma and Seo Dae-ryong arrived there. The two people wearing the sword now looked like they were priests.

Hyeolcheon Doma was wearing a neat jangsam, which he did not usually wear. His hair was also neater than usual.

Geommugeuk held back his mouth from itching.

“Are you here?”

“Why bother celebrating?”

Hyeolcheondoma spoke bluntly for no reason.

“Why are you grumpy when your student has reached a great position?”

In response to Ilhwa Geomjon’s words, Hyeolcheondoma did not say anything.

Seo Dae-ryong politely greeted Ilhwa Geomjon.

“Thank you for taking this valuable step.”

“Congratulations.”

“thank you.”

Seo Dae-ryong poured drinks for everyone.

After a few drinks, I went for a walk with Seo Dae-ryong. He deliberately avoided the place, leaving only two people behind. Today, this place was more for Hyeolcheon Doma than for Seo Dae-ryong. So I tipped off Seo Dae-ryong in advance.

“How about the footnote job?”

“It’s hard to get used to it yet.”

Seo Dae-ryong stopped and looked at the sword dance.

“I’ve been having nightmares these days. I have a dream where I am wandering around in an emergency situation looking for Sogyoju. It’s something I have to deal with, but in my dreams, I’m only looking for Lord Xiao. If you manage to find it like that, you look at me coldly and say this. “Why did you take that position if you weren’t competent?”

“Is it really like that only in dreams?”

“Ugh, I’m serious.”

Geommugeuk said with a smile.

“In reality, something like that might happen once in a lifetime. “Don’t waste your energy on something that won’t happen.”

“What if it happens?”

“We have to solve this.”

Geommugeuk tapped the handle of the long sword that Seo Dae-ryong was wearing.

Seo Dae-ryong nodded, staring at the handle that had stains from his master’s hand.

“That’s why every day should be a hellish training.”

The two people turned to go back.

“Let’s go a little longer.”

In the distance, Hyeolcheondoma and Ilhwageomjon were drinking and talking. The expressions of the two people brightened.

“It’s a good time!”

Seo Dae-ryong laughed at Geommugeuk’s words.

“I came to see you earlier to come with you, and it seemed like you were getting dressed up. It looks like you are trying on several changes of clothes. “Master, it was my first time seeing you like that.”

Seeing Hyeolcheon Doma smiling made me feel good about the sword dance.

Okay, now forget everything about the past. There is no need to lock the door to the past or peek into the future. Just be happy like that.

“The spring breeze should blow on you too.”

“I was wrong. Please leave me first and go first. I’m busier now. “My life is all about work and training!”

Seo Dae-ryong looked at the ageless youth in the distance with envious eyes.

“Can I really go first?”

“You have to take him! “That’s my right arm!”

* * *

Time passed quickly.

I went in wondering when I would come out, but before I knew it, I was leaving the training center after completing the 100-day closing training.

The first place I headed to without even shaving my beard was Cheonmajeon.

My father was guarding Cheonmajeon with an unchanging appearance.

“What is that thing?”

“I ran straight to see my father. “This is the only way to pay for your hard work.”

I was so happy to see him that I started jokingly.

“I got scolded because I wanted to eat something delicious. “Please develop food that can be used for lung cancer training, other than Byeokgokdan or beef jerky!”

My father welcomed me with that unchanging smile.

“It’s amazing that a lazy person can practice for 100 days.”

“It was really hard to see how shy they were.”

I tried to let go of the desire to be recognized by my father. Because I think that burden is holding me back.

Nevertheless, my heart was shaking at this moment. I guess I couldn’t throw it all away. I want to be recognized by my father for my military achievements.

“Let me introduce you to my friends.”

After calming down my mind, I exercised my best instinct.

wickedness!

The light sound of the wind.

Four rays of sword energy split the air.

Four demons revealed themselves.

These were my demons that I wanted to see so much.

It was different from the demons my father had shown me. Surprisingly, my demons looked and felt different from each other.

There were scary guys and there were good-looking guys. It gave off a strange sense of mystery and there was also a guy who seemed smart.

My father was surprised at the different appearances. Of course you would have thought it looked the same. Actually, I was surprised too. I had no idea that there would be such different types of demons.

Your demons did not disappear immediately like your father’s.

I thought he was looking at me as if he was trying to communicate with me.

self.

The next moment, the demons disappeared as quickly as they had appeared.

My father was standing up in Taesa Temple. My father did not hide his surprise.

“Is this what you wanted to see, father?”

A Guhwamagong that is different from my father’s, completed through my interpretation.

My father, who was looking down at me in silence, slowly nodded.

“Yes, it was like this.”

I remembered a conversation with my father on the day he taught me the Kuhwamagong technique.

―Guhwamagong has continued to change.

-It had to be that way. Because in each era, idiots and geniuses would continue to emerge.

I will become that genius and perform more advanced Guhwamagong.

I felt that my father’s prayers had changed. At least when it comes to martial arts, my father won’t just be amazed. My father will work hard to show his own changes. You will compete with me and try to win. Sincerely help what you want to help and win when you want to win. Father is father.

“Thank you for putting off the external matters that need to be handled by the Sojioju.”

“Because the first step is always important.”

It was my father’s consideration to learn Guhwamagong Jeilchosik properly. Thanks to you, you have successfully put the first button in place, so now you just need to learn the secret techniques of Sicheon and calmly put them in one by one.

“I will leave school immediately and take care of everything.”

“Before you go…”

my father said to me as he came down from Taesai.

“Let’s eat together. Good job.”

My father even uses the magic spell that he hates. All the hardships of 100 days disappeared with just one word.
