Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 603
[Episode 603] Heart Quest.
thud-! thump-!
‘what.’
wake up to the sound
For some reason, my ears were deaf.
thud-!
A vibrating sound was heard.
For some reason, I covered my throbbing forehead and looked around.
“hmm?”
Am embarrassed.
The sight that I barely came to my senses and looked at was so embarrassing.
“what is this?”
White.
It was a world painted entirely in white.
At first I thought it was a snow field.
‘Isn’t it snow?’
The world was just white.
touched the floor
The feeling of brushing your fingertips is subtle.
‘What is this?’
To say it’s a stone is nonsense.
It is also subtle to say that it is just soil.
something unknown. It seemed right to judge that.
I looked around with a frown.
‘Where is this again?’
Why are you here all of a sudden?
What did you do to open your eyes in a place like this?
I try to remember the situation just before.
“Ugh…!”
I clutched my head at the sudden pain.
I tried to think of something, but the pain came first.
What the heck is this again?
“Fuck…”
I shook my head in pain and stood up.
Standing and looking, the world is whiter.
That’s why it’s more heterogeneous and also somehow creepy.
It felt like I was standing in a space where I shouldn’t be.
I’ve been looking around for such a long time.
“huh?”
I saw something in the distance.
The center of the world painted white.
Someone is standing on top of it.
is it a person
The shape seems to be human, but it was difficult to be so sure.
because.
‘…flame?’
Only the form is human.
His entire body was covered in flames.
That too with the familiar blue flame.
‘That…’
Yes, I have no choice but to get used to it.
I knew it instinctively. That’s my spark.
“What is it?”
When I saw that, I spit out the words without knowing it.
at that time.
“…!”
The guy who was looking at the sky turned this way.
And that’s not all.
“How is it?”
The flames in human form didn’t just look at me, they even talked to me.
“what?”
“It’s a question of what it’s like to live among insignificant creatures.”
Hearing the words, he frowned.
“What are you.”
Why are you freaking out when you suddenly appear? It was absurd.
is it a dream If it’s a dream, what kind of dream is this?
You look at him with such an absurd expression.
“It is shameful and disgusting.”
The flame ignores my question and starts talking about itself.
“I broke the bowl and flew up into the sky, so how can I get along with the insects on the floor?”
With questions full of doubts.
I had to get a strange feeling inside when I heard those words.
‘I think I saw it somewhere.’
For some reason, I was used to it.
Just as the flame is my flame.
I must have heard of such a fucking word choice or way of speaking somewhere.
While I was thinking about it for a while.
“ah.”
I could barely figure out what this guy was.
I just did something
“Are you bloody?”
“…”
He is silent at my words.
It looked right.
That guy was the one who tried to devour my body when I passed away a few years ago.
At the time, it was in the form of a monster like a tomboy, but this time, for some reason, it was a flame.
“I thought you were dead, but are you alive?”
I thought I swallowed it all then.
How are you alive?
Is this place like a space in my head or inside my body?
then.
thud-! thud-!
‘What is that sound?’
A roar that sounds as if the world is breaking apart.
I care more about that than the blood in front of me.
I don’t know why.
I was just paying too much attention.
“You ignorant boy.”
At the words of blood, I turned my gaze back to the guy.
“If you are going to live in oblivion, forgetting what to do yourself, you would have been better off handing yourself over to me.”
“What is he saying now. Why are you showing up all of a sudden?”
If it had been caught and eaten, it would have been quietly digested.
Why did he appear out of nowhere and do this?
“Why do you want to play again?”
Do you want to be coveted again?
I asked with that meaning.
“under.”
He smiles as if he is insignificant.
“The bowl has already been passed on to you. I only had one chance. I am just a spectator.”
“Then why are you doing this?”
Thank you for not dying. And it was just a matter of being stuck in a corner.
There must be another reason why he appeared here unnecessarily.
“I’m here to warn you because you’re not doing anything stupid.”
“warning?”
“I mean think about it.”
The shimmering of the flames grows.
“Make it clear what you are.”
“What is this again? What am I?”
When I asked again because it was absurd, the flame said firmly.
“Do you think the little things around you can understand you?”
stop.
I am speechless for a moment at the words of the flame.
It’s because I dug into the question that I had been thinking about for a long time in the past.
I am no longer human.
Because the people around them were human.
The body just ceased to be human. The spirit is still human, so I was comforting myself.
The difference in position from there still used to be a problem for me.
That’s what sparked it.
“They can’t understand you. You will gradually not be able to understand them.”
gibberish.
I thought so, but nothing came out of my mouth.
Did you notice my reaction?
“Although I’m blocking my instincts off-topic. Don’t you already know?”
The flame puts a smile on your lips.
“What a great species you are. Also, how insignificant are the things around you.”
“What bullshit.”
“That is the difference between races.”
The flame clenched his chin.
I was annoyed as if I was copying myself.
“Unless you admit it straight. The way will not open to you.”
“Don’t be mean. If there is something you want to say, do it right.”
teeth are grinding
What is the essence of words?
Are you saying that I should at least admit that humans are insignificant and that I am a superior race?
‘I’ll listen to all the bullshit.’
How can I admit such arrogant and fucking words?
How much more does acknowledging it open the way?
“I’ve never been blocked in the first place, you bastard.”
“I guess that’s what you want to believe.”
Annoying.
At the same time, the flame gradually began to be sucked into my hand.
It was a magic breather.
He doesn’t resist once and gets sucked into my body.
Somehow, it seemed that he wanted it to be like that.
at that time.
“I don’t approve of you.”
While being sucked in, the blood speaks to me.
“It’s no different that he’s a guy who sits in a position that doesn’t fit the subject.”
“So what. What are you asking for again?”
“one.”
closely-!
“…!”
He grabbed my wrist holding my neck.
“I will help you this time.”
“What–!”
As soon as the blood spurts out, a reaction takes place in the body through the gripped wrist.
Roaring-!
“Whew…!?”
I felt a tremendous heat in my body.
It was so hot that even I felt the pain.
“This baby …. What is now ….”
“If you didn’t work only on bothersome things, you wouldn’t have helped you.”
I try to put my hand away because of the pain and widen the distance.
For some reason, my body didn’t move properly.
Roaring-!
The heat generated inside the body swallows the whole body.
in it.
“Remember.”
A bloody voice is heard.
“Those who invade the territory will be chewed and swallowed.”
That voice was engraved somewhere on the body like a tattoo.
“Prove yourself master.”
The heat continues to rise, and before you know it, it digs into your head.
It is a sensation that burns and burns and only ashes remain.
is it death
I could have been so mistaken.
I wasn’t afraid for some reason.
I felt something different than the fear of death.
what kind of feeling is this
Think about it for a while and think about it.
“Don’t forget.”
Yes, this is definitely more than fear.
“We are ‘dragons’, not humans.”
It was close to bliss.
******************
Kung-!
‘ah.’
The heat that filled your body cools down.
coo-! thud-!
The heat cooled, and the depressiveness that was covering my face was lifted.
what just happened
what the hell happened
It was like a dream.
It’s blurry and distant, but the memory is clear.
What the heck did Young…
Kuung-!
“Ouch!”
As I think about it, my body staggers with the pain that suddenly penetrates.
I barely got my balance and got my stance.
Otherwise, I would have fallen.
“What… turn it off…”
I wonder what kind of situation this is again.
I felt pain all over my body.
It’s different from when I felt the heat before.
The pain is buried in the skin as well as inside the body.
What about the other bones? Even the slightest movement made my bones ache.
what? Even beaten all day long–.
bang-!
“Where!?”
Instinctively, I raised my hand and blocked the left side.
A dull sound explodes with pain, and the body is pushed away.
something hit me
furthermore.
‘This sound.’
This harsh sound I heard while being hit.
It was the sound of vibration that had been heard in the white world until just before.
‘Fuck this, maybe.’
I wondered what the hell was that about, and I thought it was the sound of my body being beaten?
I heard that Shiva was anxious.
I thought something would break, but that was my body.
Avert your gaze.
It was to see who was beating me like this.
“uh?”
A familiar impression appears.
A young man is looking at me with his hands behind his back.
A beautiful woman with black hair who looks quite docile.
It was a paison.
“Older…?”
“oh.”
When I call Fazon, he responds.
“Your name has changed. It seems that the effect of discipline is gradually showing.”
“yes?”
“Up until just before that, they said everything about things to catch, small things, insects, and garbage. dragging.”
“What is that…?”
Did you say that to Pazon?
‘…I?’
I couldn’t remember.
Why were you beaten by Pazon in the first place?
Doubts pass by.
Then a memory came to me.
“Ah…”
Namgungbia’s ornaments picked up in the snow.
I can’t remember from the moment I saw it.
Did he lose his reason and go on a rampage?
so.
‘…So you said that to Pazon?’
Bugs or garbage, did I say that to Pazon?
Is that why I am like this?
Just imagining it made me feel far away.
The surroundings are already a mess.
The ground had potholes everywhere.
Sparks bloomed on the cold snow.
That’s my spark no matter who sees it.
shiver.
Something passes the corner of your mouth.
When I wiped it off, it was a nosebleed.
It looks pretty beaten up.
gulp.
I’m swallowing dry saliva in a cool situation, and Pajon smiles and says, looking at me like that.
“Didn’t you tell me? At a time like this, if you get beaten up, you’ll remember.”
“…wait a minute. old man.”
“There is nothing wrong with my experience. yes?”
“sorry. Looks like I lost my memory for a while-!”
Whiik-!
I turned my head.
At that location, Pazon’s fist passes.
bang-!!
Immediately after, the air exploded.
I hit the air, but how did that sound come out?
cold sweat flows
“Did I come to my senses?”
“No, disciple. You haven’t come to your senses yet.”
“Such an asshole.”
I was able to realize it when I looked into Pazon’s eyes.
This man is angry.
I don’t know what you heard.
He looks extremely angry.
“As expected, seeing you say such harsh words, you haven’t come to your senses yet.”
“I’m really sober! Listen to me…!”
bang-!
I couldn’t stop this time.
A fist is stuck in the side. it hurts terribly But it was not the time to feel the pain.
I had to turn my body before the shock went through.
swish-! I’m trying to send a shock by rotating my body.
At that moment, Fazon presses on my joints and collapses my center of gravity.
vision slowly descending.
I could already see Pazon’s fist approaching in front of me.
Defending this attitude is unreasonable.
The urgent priority is to somehow attack and push the fagot away and widen the distance.
yes-!
I’m trying to lift my spirits with that thought.
‘Damn it…!!’
I couldn’t feel any energy in my heart.
No matter how much I spent, all the energy I had was empty.
At best, it is a handful.
As usual, I wouldn’t even have a chin.
I was in a hurry right now, so I had to write this.
Whoa-!
Put the energy the size of rat poop into your fist.
Whether it was or not, I swung it as it was.
at that time.
“…!?”
Pazon, who confirmed something, hurriedly turned his head as he retrieved the attack.
Why did I want to go there all of a sudden?
when you thought so
Anger-!
Something stretched out of my fist.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
The air is torn open and a horrifying sound spreads.
And then.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
It pierced the head of the iceberg behind it.
“…uh…?”
crazy.
what the fuck is that
****************
A space where darkness has subsided.
A quiet and quiet place with no light.
There is a large throne prepared there.
Originally, this was the place where the owner of the North Sea and the emperor of the Ice Palace sat.
thereon.
Someone other than the princess is sitting.
Swoop.
Cold air fills Daejeon.
As always, it was a cold wind from the North Sea.
between those winds.
Goo Goo Goo-!
A shallow vibration came.
A faint breeze of heat flowed through the wind.
It is a very heterogeneous energy among the cold.
The heat that had been mixed like fluttering flow mingled in the cracks of the cold air and passed by the throne.
OK.
“…Hmm…”
The person sitting on the throne slowly opened his eyes.
Light blue eyes shine in the dark.
“This energy…”
Could it be because he felt something?
The corners of the character’s eyes slowly begin to curl.
“This is so… An unexpected guest has arrived.”
It is a voice full of laughter.
Quit-quick.
Cold air flows from his mouth every time he makes a sound.
The figure slowly got up.
Tboob.
I step out of the throne and move to Daejeon.
A shallow pleasure flashed across his face.
“Yeah, I thought it wouldn’t be fun if it was too easy.”
I thought it was too easy.
It’s not something I wanted to achieve so easily. I was just about to lose interest.
The figure continued walking.
Beyond that was someone.
center of Daejeon.
In front of the throne, someone is half-kneeling and bowing his head.
The character looks at him and smiles deeper than before.
“There should be a festival like this. Isn’t it?”
“…”
“If I say it like this, you will not be able to understand. It doesn’t matter though.”
Anyway, the work has already started.
The character had no intention of returning it.
“Unknown.”
At the call of the character, the person who was kneeling raises his head.
Looking at this, the person asks.
“Did you finish your assignment well?”
“…yes. Everything you commanded has been done.”
“great.”
The person who heard the young man’s answer nodded.
“It’s your word, so I won’t bother checking. Just in case.”
The moment I was about to speak.
The pupils of the figures split vertically like the eyes of a reptile.
The young man had to bite his lip while looking at those eyes.
“I hope there are no lies. You shouldn’t have problems with your precious collateral, right?”
“…yes. I will keep that in mind.”
The young man lowered his head again at the character’s words.
“Go. You have more work to do, right?”
“…”
When the name fell, the young man got up.
The shaman’s sword at the waist makes a clanking sound.
Seeing that, the character smiled.
Originally, it was something he should have gone to.
The character decided not to do that.
The precious gift is opened later.
Because that was the happiest fun.
