The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 268

◈ Episode 268: Deep in the forest where people’s eyes cannot reach (2)

Gwangin-seon (Crazy Man).

People in the past called him that.

Although he became a hermit, he became a hermit after going crazy, so the name given to him in front of him was Gwang (狂).

Although he became a hermit, he went crazy and was unable to abandon his human mind, so his middle name was In (人).

Because he was more powerful and stronger than any other immortal, he was recognized as a immortal through his strength, and the last letter he received was Seon (仙).

However, even after becoming a hermit, he could not maintain that life for a long time.

Although he was originally crazy and reached the level of a immortal, he ultimately had a human mind, and in the end, the madman could not escape reincarnation.

What he achieved was an hourglass-like lifespan obtained by slightly twisting reincarnation.

The restraint of time, like that of a mortal who will disappear when all the sand in the hourglass runs out, held him captive.

Because in the end, Gwangin-seon could not escape reincarnation.

Of course, Gwang In-seon did not dwell too much on the fact that he could not escape reincarnation.

If his mind had been sane, he wouldn’t have known it, but his mind had already gone crazy by the time he became a hermit.

However, if there is one thing he regrets, it is that his power is disappearing like this.

Gwangin-seon believed that it would be completely meaningless for the strength he sought after becoming a hermit to disappear at death, so Gwangin-seon gave up his strength.

No, he sealed himself into a weapon.

Not to break the flow of reincarnation that comes over time, but to preserve one’s power and at the same time find someone suitable to wield it.

In any case, what Gwangin-seon believed in was force, so he gave up his body and devoted himself to weapons without any resistance.

He began waiting for someone who could control his power.

And in the meantime, quite a few people took hold of Gwangin-seon’s weapon and took the test he gave.

In order to use the power, it was necessary to pass the test given by the madman.

However, until now, no one has successfully taken the Gwanginseon test.

Most people either go crazy while taking the test or run away without being able to take it.

To that extent, Gwang In-seon gave a test worthy of his name.

At least he thought that only those who were as crazy as him should use his power.

And now.

Gwangin-seon was meeting.

Someone crazier than you.

No… To be honest, the madman was facing a crazy person who was clearly crazier than himself and was so absurd that he didn’t even know what to say.

“…why kill them all? “You’re saying we just need to get rid of this house?”

“Why are you burning the whole mountain??”

“I’m serious? Are you really going to kill them all?”

Every test I took, I asked questions as if it were ridiculous.

However, his subsequent answers did not change between the first and third tests.

And the fourth test.

Gwangin-seon looked blankly at the situation unfolding in front of him and asked.

The question is the same this time too.

“Why did you kill them all?”

Gwangin-seon’s question.

The man standing before the madman’s eyes… no, he is.

“First of all, I don’t know anyone.”

He spoke with a grin.

“Master didn’t even tell me not to, so is there any reason to keep him alive?”

Eyes sparkling with madness.

Gwangin-seon looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Yes, I lost. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I can beat a crazy person like you.”

Jiral twisted the corner of his mouth as he listened to Gwangin-seon’s voice.

“It was nothing.”

####

“?”

Kim Joo-hyuk opened his eyes.

What you see is not the scene of corpses you saw earlier, but the scene of an ordinary room.

“what?”

Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head with a blank expression, then lowered his gaze and looked at Dok2.

and.

“Crazy…”

Kim Joo-hyuk swore without even realizing it.

That was because Kim Joo-hyuk only realized it after he opened his eyes in the room.

that he was dead.

‘what? ‘How on earth?’

Kim Joo-hyuk frowned and recalled a moment ago.

He was obviously holding a sword, and Parashurama smiled and raised his axe.

That’s the end of Kim Joo-hyuk’s memories.

“…You didn’t even see how they attacked?”

Kim Joo-hyuk frowned with an expression of absurdity.

The only way out, at least as far as he knows, is death.

This means that he was attacked by Parashurama and died, but Kim Joo-hyuk did not even see how he was attacked by him.

‘…are there any odds of winning?’

Kim Joo-hyuk made a bewildered expression.

Basically, the winning rate comes only when a fight is established.

Like this, the fight didn’t even come into existence, so it didn’t come out.

“….”

So Kim Joo-hyuk, who had a complicated expression for a moment, clicked his tongue and put his hand on the ax again.

Whether it works or not, I had to face it first.

and. Another moment when he enters the seal.

“!”

Kim Joo-hyuk bounced off again.

What he saw this time was something that passed near his head.

‘…twice.’

It seemed quite absurd that he had already experienced death twice not long after entering, but nevertheless he reached for the ax once more.

Because the option of giving up didn’t exist in the first place since we were already here.

This was the third time I went inside.

Sigh!

This time, Kim Joo-hyuk did not see how he died, but he went right back in again.

Four times.

Five times.

Six times.

Ten times.

Twenty times.

Fifty times.

Kim Joo-hyuk keeps reaching for the ax and entering the seal as if there is no such thing as giving up.

and.

Kwaaaaang!

“Bwak!”

Kim Joo-hyuk was able to block the ax flying towards him.

“As expected, he is still a toxic person. really.”

As soon as the ax is blocked, what you hear is Parashurama’s sarcastic voice.

As Kim Joo-hyuk gritted his teeth and looked at Parashurama, he smiled leisurely and spoke.

“So, you blocked my attack once. How do you feel?”

“Can’t you tell by looking at the expression?”

Kim Joo-hyuk sarcastically responds to Parashurama’s words.

Parashurama responded with a grin.

“It looks difficult. Then I’ll make it easier for you.”

Pudddeuk! Sigh!

“Sigh!”

Kim Joo-hyuk, who returned to the room with a creepy sound, frowned at the vivid pain he felt in his neck, unlike before.

‘Until now, I didn’t feel like I was dead before I even realized it.’

Kim Joo-hyuk touched his neck once and then frowned.

Fifty lives were lost before Parashurama’s first attack was blocked.

When he thought about it without realizing it, Kim Joo-hyuk frowned at the number that came out in a sigh and muttered.

“Fifty times…”

Fifty times.

It cannot be said that it is a small number.

That is certainly a large number.

Especially if you think about the number of deaths.

but.

Sigh.

‘We are moving forward.’

Kim Joo-hyuk smiled at the corner of his mouth.

For Parashurama, the attack was only a single slash.

It probably didn’t contain any great power.

Additionally, you may have waved your hand without any meaning.

But in the end, it was important to Kim Joo-hyuk that he prevented it.

One movement that had little meaning to Parashurama had great significance to Kim Joo-hyuk.

Anyway, Kim Joo-hyuk’s life is infinite in this fight.

As long as his spirit is not broken, his life will not disappear.

That means that Kim Joo-hyuk never gives up when he sees even the slightest way to move forward.

Being able to move forward.

In the end, it was like Kim Joo-hyuk could be reached at any moment.

Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk actually smiled at the corner of his mouth and pulled out the sword in his arms.

Tsk-!

He immediately carved a small vertical scar on the wall facing him and

brought his hand to the ax again.

Fifty-fifth.

While trying to block Parashurama’s blow and fight back, he was beheaded and died.

Fifty-ninth.

As soon as he entered, he tried to counterattack rather than defend, but was allowed to attack repeatedly and died. He blocked

the eightieth

blow, twisted his sword in a surprise attack, and tried to swing the sword at Parashurama, but was counterattacked.

Hundredth.

Finally, I was able to properly see the first attack and block it, and at the same time, I was able to pull back and gain time.

One hundred and twelve.

One hundred and thirty-fifth.

One hundred and seventy-eighth.

Two hundred and fortyth.

Each time Kim Joo-hyuk dies from Parashurama’s axe, the number of deaths increases.

At the same time, the number of scars Kim Joo-hyuk carves on the wall increases.

Scars increase in proportion to the number of deaths.

Each time a scar increases.

Kim Joo-hyuk’s deaths increase.

continue.

The number of deaths, which had exceeded 200, now stands at 300.

The number of deaths exceeding three hundred is recorded at four hundred.

The number of times recorded four hundred times has been recorded five hundred times.

Then it goes over six hundred times.

At the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk was moving forward more and more.

At first, he blocked Parashurama’s blow, which was nothing.

Then, dodging Parashurama’s attack.

Next, he continues a surprise counterattack against Parashurama.

Of course, in order to reach the next act, Kim Joo-hyuk inevitably gave up many lives.

Maybe a hundred times?

Maybe two hundred times?

Three hundred times?

No, maybe five hundred times… No, Kim Joo-hyuk suddenly thought that it could easily go beyond five hundred times to a thousand times.

In fact, Kim Joo-hyuk stopped counting after some point.

At least for now, the one thing that remains in his mind is the simple fact that he is moving forward.

Instead, it replaces the number that Kim Joo-hyuk was counting.

Tsk-!

There were numerous scars visible across from Kim Joo-hyuk.

Once each time you experience death.

The scars created by his sword soon filled the wall facing Kim Joo-hyuk.

So dense that the sword scars can no longer be engraved.

Of course, despite carving all the sword scars on the wall facing him, Kim Joo-hyuk still couldn’t reach it.

so that.

Tsk-!

Kim Joo-hyuk began counting his deaths by carving scars on the wall next to him.

Once per death.

Draw a scar.

Draw a scar.

Draw a scar.

I forgot to write the numbers.

Kim Joo-hyuk already doesn’t know how many times he has died.

However, the scars he carved continued to clearly and clearly count Kim Joo-hyuk’s death.

The scars that continued to fill in eventually went beyond Kim Joo-hyuk’s left wall and filled the entire wall.

After filling all four sides, do the ceiling.

After filling the ceiling, the floor.

and.

At the end, when Kim Joo-hyuk filled more than half of the scars on the floor that counted death.

Sigh!

“!”

“Did I tell you?”

Kim Joo-hyuk.

“We’ll reach it.”

He was able to cut down Parashurama.
