Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 558
[Episode 558] The Way of Wind and Cloud.
In a cave where cold air flows.
Unlike the barren and dry background, the tip of the nose is full of the scent of plum blossoms.
It was the first time.
Such a deep and beautiful plum blossom scent.
A deep and profound scent that has never been felt even by long-time writers.
A few days had passed, but Yeongpung still vividly remembered the scene.
At first glance, the energy of plum blossoms felt rough and cozy.
[Nice to meet you.]
Even the voice I heard in my ear.
Youngpoong tried hard not to forget any traces.
[I can’t see or hear it. If you can hear my voice, you must be a child of a volcano.]
It’s just a voice I can hear.
The moment Yeongpoong heard that voice, he was consciously prepared.
I don’t know who.
one.
For some reason, it seemed like it should be.
[How is the current volcano? Are plum blossoms still beautiful?]
Youngpoong answered yes.
[I hope so.]
The voice gives an answer on its own, as if it hadn’t heard Yeongpoong’s answer.
There was a vague longing and trust in that voice.
[I am a child of an unknown volcano.]
[I am called Shincheol.]
Youngpung had to open his eyes wide at the words he heard.
In the long history of Hwasan, there were many people with the name Shincheol.
Now, there is only one person that Youngpoong thinks of.
Hwasan Seongeom Shincheol.
He is one of the heroes who stopped the blood demon’s blood attack.
He was a respected great man who made the present shining volcano possible.
and.
He was also the ideal Young Poong dreamed of.
‘The greatest man ever produced by a volcano.’
Although the youngest maehwa swordsman is Yeongpung of the time.
Until then, the person who had this nickname was Hwasan Seongeom.
Until Yeon Il-cheon, who was the best person in the world at the time, appeared in the midfield.
An ancestor who has never lost a single defeat and is praised for achieving the point of blooming plum blossoms.
That is the volcanic sword sword Shincheol.
If Hwasanseongeom wanted to bloom plum blossoms, then it would have been seven nights, but the sky was dyed magenta.
He tried to save the weak people in the name of Hwasan.
A great man who grabbed a collapsing volcano and entered the war.
He was truly a man worthy of being praised as a hero, and he was respected by all the scholars of the Hwasan sect.
His temper was also said to be kind and kind, and he was said to be a good man who could never pass over the sick and weak.
How can I not dream of a person like that?
Although the person Young Poong wants to win is the remaining member of the Gu family.
The person who wanted to become was the Volcanic Swordsman.
that much.
thump, thump, thump.
Youngpoong felt his heart beating like crazy.
How is the Volcanic Swordsman here?
Hi, is this his voice?
No matter how hard he tried to calm down, he couldn’t.
You have to believe.
How can you not believe when you feel this thick plum scent?
Thinking of that, I looked at the orb in front of me.
This warm energy and the fragrance that lingered at the tip of the nose were all felt there.
[The fact that you and I met here means that we finally reached our destiny.]
[Hey. I’m a child of a volcano.]
For some reason, the voice of the Volcanic Swordsman sounds sad and heavy.
Let Youngpoong answer that question.
Volcanic Swordsman said after a little silence.
[There will be a disaster in the world in a little while.]
Without a moment to be surprised at the sudden words, Yeongpung, Volcanic Island Sword continued to speak.
[The fact that I’m telling you this means that we… no, I failed.]
Youngpoong couldn’t understand what was going on.
What did the Volcanic Swordsman say had failed?
At that time, it was said that they blocked the bloody sword, as well as the volcano line sword.
[I’m sorry for having an ugly ancestor.]
That’s not true.
Youngpoong says it’s absolutely not the case.
Youngpoong’s voice seemed to be out of reach of the volcano sword.
[I’m a child of a volcano whose name I don’t know.]
[I want you to finish the story I couldn’t finish.]
He was just asking for himself.
Youngpoong didn’t care.
important thing.
[Following me…]
The one I dreamed of more than.
That you’re trying to leave things to yourself that you haven’t finished.
That was enough for Youngpoong.
So, without hesitation, he caught the nameless orb in the cave.
I fully received the pouring energy and placed it inside my body.
Feeling the plum blossoms rising in the danteon, Youngpung was convinced.
This energy is definitely his energy.
So it was not difficult to accept.
It has a rough and sharp look, but the root is the same.
I just had to accept it.
Even without doing anything special, energy went to its place as if Youngpoong’s body was at home.
By the time Young Poong came to his senses after absorbing all the energy, countless changes had taken place in his body.
The skeleton has thickened.
A completely different, thick pottery was flowing in the blood, and the level was elevated.
It was an oddity.
In the midst of the changed body and advanced state, Young Poong exhaled.
In the heavy breathing, a thick mixture of pottery comes out.
Feeling this, Yeongpoong thought.
‘Have I really become his successor?’
That he had to do what he couldn’t do.
It was a heavy and cool thing to choose foolishly.
Youngpoong was able to raise his fever with just that.
You will be able to.
no you have to do it
If there is something he has not done, he will do it himself.
I don’t know if he left such a will because what kind of disaster will come.
Following the Volcanic Sword, he will prevent disaster.
I definitely thought so.
“Why is this again…! Won’t you go away!?”
Youngpoong had to feel an unknown emotion as he watched the scene in front of him.
It’s a feeling I’ve never felt since I was born.
******************
Something is wrong.
It was the first thought that came to my mind when the situation happened.
‘It’s not good…’
In the midst of the sudden situation, I turned my head and looked at my right arm.
Something was tightly tied to his forearm, which should have been nothing.
‘… Shibeol…’
Looking at that, he cursed inwardly.
The feeling of the object is not familiar.
I guess so. It’s been something I’ve worn on my left arm for years.
If anything else, this one was magenta.
‘That the left arm is light blue.’
No, even that can’t make a difference.
The guy on his left arm was also magenta in the beginning.
I bit my lip thinking about that.
‘It’s your return.’
The guy who jumped into my right arm was definitely a demon.
After seeing it myself, I was convinced.
This is the item that was Shin Noya’s favorite bottle.
I mean yes.
‘Two ears?’
The one tied to the left arm and the one who jumped on the right arm.
Both are said to be noble.
‘How did this happen?’
I’m full of questions when I want to do something, but now wasn’t the time to discuss these things.
“…that.”
I raised my head at the voice I heard.
In addition to Geomhu, there are Guryeonghwa and Yeongpoong.
There.
‘Even that old man.’
Even Woobaek is watching this as if he is interested in the back side.
Right after he finished figuring it out, his expression changed.
With a look of bewilderment, as if surprised.
“What is this?”
It was scary though. Because the words came out hard.
‘To rot.’
I tried my best, but damn it, the habit of breaking down when I try to act is still the same.
Fortunately, even though he used such a shitty tone, he didn’t seem to notice, perhaps because the situation was so unexpected.
“Swordsman… What is this? What is this again?”
Let’s ask about the aftermath. The swordsman said to me with surprised eyes.
“…that’s… return home…”
“If it’s a return home!”
As soon as I heard the words, I spoke to the swordsman with widened eyes.
“Are you talking about the legendary favorite soldier who was said to have been used by Shin Cheol, the volcanic swordsman of the Eight Greats of the Volcano Sect and the hero of the era who was said to have stopped the bloodbath…!”
“Uh…huh?”
“At first glance, it looks like an ugly, worn-out cloth, but in reality, it is a legendary monster that never breaks and even changes into the shape the caster wants!?”
“…Uh…uh…you know more than I thought.”
“Unbelievable! But how did this suddenly get into my hands…!!”
I did my best to respond.
I wondered if this would make Shin Noya, who always complained that he couldn’t lie, understand.
“…”
“Brother… where does it hurt?”
‘Tsk.’
Apparently, this didn’t work either.
‘Why?’
No matter how I look at it, I don’t understand.
Do you think I did well?
‘So what?’
If you think that even lies don’t work, you’ll be consistent without knowing…
“Old small group.”
“huh?”
closely.
I feel someone grab my right arm and lift it.
It was a spirit wind.
“This is the treasure of the text.”
“stamp?”
He suddenly looks into Youngpoong’s eyes, wondering why he’s doing this.
‘hmm…?’
I had to pause for a moment to look into Youngpoong’s eyes.
It’s because there was something in the eyes.
‘Look at him.’
It was a feeling I was used to and yet bothered by.
“Give it back.”
Koo Woo-wook.
Power goes into the gripped hand.
I felt it and tried to ignore it. Then he smiled and said to Youngpoong.
“I’m sorry about the seal. I want to give it to you too.”
I know you’re doing this because you don’t want to give it to someone.
‘I was surprised too, bastard.’
Suddenly, a ghost flew through the air and jumped into my arms. How can I not be surprised by this?
“Could you please explain what happened first? Because I am also a victim.”
“…give it back.”
“hmm.”
He was explaining calmly, but Youngpoong didn’t seem to be able to hear.
In particular, I felt the strength going into my arms getting stronger.
I wanted to explain more, but suddenly a sigh came out.
‘Ah, that’s annoying.’
The thought crossed my mind and my arms moved.
“Calm down for a second…”
Sword guard hurriedly came to stop him, perhaps feeling Yeongpung’s strange atmosphere.
bang-!
“…!”
My hand was faster than that.
“Knock…”
Youngpoong, who was hit on the chin, falls down with a short drool.
I grabbed Yeongpoong by the collar and ‘supported’ him so he wouldn’t collapse completely, then I looked at the swordsman.
The swordsman’s face is full of bewilderment, probably because he defeated him without hesitation.
I looked into her eyes and asked calmly.
“Could you please explain again?”
“…”
“I can’t hear well.”
I smiled and said it, but the atmosphere had already cooled down.
******************
I was able to manage the situation after that.
Yeongpung passed out, but there was no problem because he had a sword and guryunghwa.
‘Although it almost bothered me a little.’
somehow it went well Of course, other people suffered more than me.
‘What are you going to do? Didn’t I do something?’
As much as this time, it wasn’t what I intended, so it was a unfair part for me too.
I looked down at my right arm.
Unlike before, it is an empty hand. Looking at this, I had to catch my breath as I recalled the situation from earlier.
‘Fortunately, he listened well.’
The guy with the left arm didn’t listen even though I begged him to leave.
Fortunately for the guy who intervened this time, he listened well.
I want to fall in, so it’s not long before it’s released.
‘Thanks to that, the work was passed.’
I was able to get away from the feeling that I was the guy who snatched the ghost.
the problem is.
‘Why was it?’
Why did that ghost come to me?
From what I heard, the moment Geomhu brought the box and put it down on the table.
I heard that the ghost escaped on its own and ran toward me outside.
‘What is that scary thing?’
I had to burst out laughing as soon as I heard the story.
It was because it was the first time I heard that a ghost came out like that with a will.
‘I was wondering if you’ve heard any thoughts.’
I didn’t feel anything from you.
So, I came up with a few hypotheses.
‘Among them, the most probable thing is that it’s because of Noya’s aura in my body.’
As he was Shin Noya’s favorite soldier, I thought this would be the only reason he would have acted like that.
but.
‘Then what about Youngpoong?’
If that happens, there will be a problem with Youngpoong.
Young Poong said that he had found the traces of Shin Noya in the cave and got a chance.
If I did, it would be right for the ghost to go to Yeongpung instead of jumping to me.
‘I didn’t.’
Then you think naturally.
What are the traces that Youngpoong has?
‘Is it really the traces of Noya?’
It was a thought that constantly came to mind on the way to and from.
Is it true that Youngpoong really became Shin Noya’s successor?
Then what am I
what is that ear What does this situation mean?
It would have been easy to solve if there was Noya, but since it wasn’t the case, I had to think more about it.
yes troubled
I was sure that I was Noya’s successor, and I was worried about this.
The reason is simple.
‘Because I’m not sure.’
It’s not that I’m not certain that I’m Noya’s successor.
‘I’m not sure that his energy is fake.’
It was because he wasn’t sure that Young Poong’s energy and traces were fake.
It was somewhat ambiguous, but the aura of Yeongpoong definitely belonged to Noya.
this was certain
‘After a few days, I understand.’
It’s definitely the same energy.
So, I was afraid that the energies would resonate with each other, so I put a lot of effort into it.
Tsk.
‘It’s gotten really annoying.’
It was clear that it was a return, a nabal, and a complicated affair.
It would have been more convenient if it was all fake, but since everything looks real, it’s an upsetting situation.
‘Damn the old man, there’s no time like this.’
Inwardly, I cursed at the proud old man, but I held it in.
It’s nothing else, and my conscience is as small as rat poop to swear at the nobleman who went to take care of things for me.
therefore.
I don’t like the job at all.
‘Think of this later.’
Let’s do the first thing first.
Thinking so, I put strength on my feet.
“Turn off!”
When I press it gently, I hear a groan coming from the floor.
I lowered my gaze and looked at the owner of the sound.
Someone stepped on my foot and is making a painful expression.
looked at him and said
“I tend to keep my word.”
No matter what means he used, he kept his words.
So it was like that this time too.
“I told you earlier.”
As soon as the words are spoken, fear dwells in the opponent’s eyes.
He smiled as if enjoying his gaze and continued talking.
“If you pull out your sword, you will die.”
At those words, Ji-cheol, the dragon sword of the opposing shaman, began to tremble slightly.
