Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 663

The first feeling I had after hearing Pilduma’s words was disappointment.

‘what?’

I thought I was doing this to do something great.
What are you doing?

‘Resurrection of a hundred-level monster?’

It was an unexpected part.
That too in a slightly bad way.

No. Normally, I might have been a little surprised, but…

‘There’s nothing major now.’

Perhaps it was because I had seen all kinds of miscellaneous things that I heard something amazing. I wasn’t very impressed.

‘That’s a great story, though.’

There is nothing else but a monster sealed beneath the land of Hanam, and Pilduma is trying to resurrect it.
From what I’ve heard, it was a huge situation.

‘It’s really fucked up.’

It’s hiding everywhere. If this is going to be the case, why do they say that all regions are sealed evenly?
My head was starting to hurt.

‘If that’s true.’

Why is it buried in the ground? How did we know this, and how can we resurrect it and use it?
All of that had to be questioned.

No, not even that.

‘I have to remind myself again that this has never happened in my previous life.’

To begin with, the character Pil Du Ma himself was a survivor of the Zhuge family.
It was also unexpected that they prepared for work in Hanam around this time.

‘In his previous life, Pilduma was just one of the four warriors.’

He is a hidden person who is gradually making a name for himself.
As soon as he appeared, he was an old man who showed off his strength by killing two of the great leaders of the tribe.

Afterwards, he came under the command of Cheonma and ruled over Cheonna Dark Watch.

‘It’s a strange thing to see now.’

I didn’t even know that he was dreaming of revenge against the Murim Alliance and the resurrection of the Zhuge family in Hanam in the first place.

Even if there was, it is an unknown fact, i.e.

‘Meaning of failure.’

It was evidence that Pilduma did not succeed in his intentions.

‘If that’s the case, will what that guy is trying to do now ultimately fail?’

I don’t know.

There have been so many things that have happened so far that are different from my previous life, and what Pilduma is trying to do now could have been caused by my actions.

It’s probably impossible to be sure of anything.

‘It’s not easy.’

I think I’ve done a good job, but what I’m trying to do is a bit vague.

I also have an alien power, such as witchcraft or something, so I thought maybe they were trying to use that to get things done.

‘I was thinking of using a monster.’

Of course, since it is nothing more than a hundred-level monster, if what is said is true, there will be a big impact.

‘Because the story from the North Sea probably wasn’t told.’

It is a secret that the North Sea is currently at war and that the palace commander, who is at his peak, is in a sick state.

The moment this is relayed, there is no telling how Maeng’s side will react.

As such, it goes without saying that the story of a hundred-level monster appearing in the North Sea would not have been heard.

‘The midfield is still noisy with red monsters.’

It has been three years since the outbreak of the Red Devil’s Gate, which had not appeared for hundreds of years.

As a result, it was at a point where Maeng was barely able to restore the peace that was emerging and was pretending to be okay on the outside.

But what if a hundred-level monster appears here?

It was obvious that it would be a huge mess.

‘Is this something you did for the sake of it?’

Given the current situation, isn’t it possible that they are trying to resurrect a hundred-level monster?

Doing so could destroy the false peace that Maeng is trying to create.

‘Then the reason why I didn’t do it in my previous life…’

A red monster appears faster than in my previous life.

Things that should have originally occurred with the appearance of the Heavenly Demon have now come to light.
Maeng’s role is being shaken due to the disaster that occurred at Shinryongwan. Could it be that Pil Duma appeared targeting this time?

‘So, does that mean I also have a share in this?’

I looked at the old man through the mask.

A big old man who seemed nervous looking at me for some reason.
That’s what I’ve done so far, but strangely, I seemed to be much more nervous than expected.

Why? I didn’t do anything special today?

Could it be that the bad expression is not due to tension but because the barrier or something was torn off?
If that’s the case, I can understand it…

‘…who knew it would be torn apart?’

Who knew it could be ripped off so easily?

Isn’t this the fault of the people over there who didn’t make it right?
Yes, it will.

‘anyway.’

In the end, it is no different that I am to blame for the current situation.

‘Well, at some point it wasn’t my fault.’

I don’t feel guilty about it.
No, I tried not to have it.

[…A dragon, is there something like that under the land of Hanam?]

“That’s right.”

[How did the Great Lord know that?]

“…It is part of the information left behind by our ancestors.”

‘ancestor?’

The word ancestors means information about the Zhuge family, which has already been exterminated.

Since they are said to be well-versed in the art of fighting, they have their own credibility.

‘But confirming whether this is true is another matter.’

Now, I had to look at something else first.

‘A hundred-level monster.’

Assuming that what Philduma says is true, what will happen when the monster falls…

and what you can get that way.

‘advantage.’

When I use these things, I think of convenient things.

‘Pilduma is not a stupid old man.’

Hanam is a city with good safety and security.

Moreover, since the Bimu Festival was right around the corner, many experts were already gathering.
From the most renowned families to the deep-rooted, prestigious families will gather.

‘Is there any point in summoning a monster to such a land?’

I know this because I have dealt with hundred-level monsters.

It was definitely strong.
It was a power that could not even be compared to red monsters.

but.

‘But that doesn’t mean you can’t catch it.’

It is said that he was able to win because his father came, but he is not at a point where he cannot be defeated if numerous masters attack him.

‘There will be casualties, but it is difficult to destroy the alliance.’

It wouldn’t matter if he had outstanding power. Except for Pilduma, there are no very strong warriors.

Does Pilduma not know this?

You won’t know.
He is not incompetent. At least that’s what I know.

‘If you’re willing to do it even though you know it, it definitely means there’s something there.’

This means that there is something worth pushing even after blowing it up.

[Hmm.]

I rested my chin, pretending to be lost in thought for a moment.

I can see Pilduma’s wrinkles trembling at my actions.
It still looks strange to be more nervous than necessary.

but.

‘doesn’t care. ‘Because it’s more comfortable.’

It would be beneficial for the other person to view me as a threat.

‘If Pilduma’s plan really succeeds and a monster appears on the land of Hanam…’

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

I tapped the table where the drinking glass was placed with my fingertip.

Except for that sound, the surroundings are quiet, as if breathing has stopped.

About a minute passes like that.

Tuk.

The tapping fingers finally stopped.

The calculation is complete.

[So.]

I said it straight to Pilduma.

[What can this committee do to help?]

The end of the plan is not bad to me.

no.
It’s not that bad.

‘It would be useful.’

I felt like I could execute my plan a little faster if I used this.

******************

It was still night when we got out of the cave.
Not much time has passed.

I think it was because the conversation didn’t drag on for too long.

Jerk.

I walked around the grass and looked around.

I can no longer hear the sound of grasshoppers that I heard before.

Perhaps, the energy I touched earlier was the problem.

‘It’s not just the sound.’

The terrain also appears to be subtly distorted.

To be precise, it may not have been distorted, but rather returned to its original state.

‘Has everything you see changed?’

Was the location hidden by overlaying an illusion on the terrain?
That strange method makes me think of a certain time.

‘It’s just like what I saw in Sacheon.’

A remark about a love story that I saw in Sacheon less than a year after my return.
What I saw there was similar to this.

It was turned into a cliff, and when I entered, there was a tree with pure white leaves falling.

‘…’

As I remembered this, I felt a ring in my heart.

‘If this is witchcraft, then what I saw in Love House was also witchcraft?’

I thought it was something strange to call it a magic trick, but it turned out to be a spell.

‘It was said that witchcraft was brought by a dragon. How did Yeonga use magic to hide that place?’

Yeonga’s secret was covered by the power of the dragon.
His descendants were cursed and became half-dragons.

How did things happen like that?
When you’re frowning at a strange connection.

“master.”

Nahi followed behind and spoke to me.

I turned my back and simultaneously took off the mask I was wearing.

Wood clatter.

Then the bones and muscles convulsed, energy was recovered, and the body returned to its original form.

Thanks to the increased level, the duration and delicacy of using gas transformation techniques have increased.

I said to Nahi as I moved around my body.

“why.”

“…Are you really going to do as the author says?”

“hmm?”

These are surprising words to come from Nahi’s mouth.
I narrowed my eyes when I heard that.

“what do you mean?”

“The author does not seem to be a trustworthy person…”

Hearing this, he shook his head.
It meant to talk more to Nahi.

“It feels the same. “There are a lot of suspicious aspects.”

“What is the basis?”

“…Among the several reasons, the biggest one is that they twisted all the information without giving it away.”

I nodded after hearing her words.

That is correct.
Pilduma rarely gave me complete information.

He was scared of me and said he would agree with me, but was quietly measuring something behind my back.

So, Nahi may have thought that there might be a problem and spoke up.

“I know.”

I already knew.

“And he didn’t tell me everything. It also seems like they are going to manipulate me too. “I knew it right away.”

“If you do it…”

“But it doesn’t matter. “I plan on using it anyway.”

“…!”

Nahi’s eyes widen at the words she said so casually.
Is this really that surprising?

“why?”

“That…”

“Did you really think I would keep taking that old man with me?”

“…”

If you thought so, you were disappointed.

“Ahi. no way.”

I had no intention of doing that.

Pilduma is an old dog.

An old dog with ambition. It was foolish to trust a guy like that.

Haven’t we been through and suffered countless times before?

I had no intention of trusting Pilduma.
I just thought it was useful for now so let’s try it out.

also.

‘Once the work is done, we should handle it together.’

I was going to kill him and get rid of him before the plan was completed.
Even though the Heavenly Demon absorbed him and used him…

‘I don’t have the taste for eating things that have already gone bad.’

I was different from the Heavenly Demon.

“Hani, it wasn’t a bad thing you said because you were worried…”

I said while looking at Nahi.

“You were a bit presumptuous just now.”

“…!”

Nahi quickly kneels at my words.
He looked at it and continued talking.

“Since when did you start giving advice first when saying something you didn’t say? Or is it an order?”

“…I’m…I’m sorry…”

Nahi was shaking even though she didn’t say anything.
As I was looking at her, I couldn’t help but click my tongue.

“wake up.”

As soon as the command is given, Nahi straightens up. I thought about grinding a little more, but I gave up.

The relationship with Nahi is created by Magi.
To me, she wasn’t a very trustworthy person.

No one believes it.

A card that can be discarded at any time.
That is the value of the Mine I have with me.

As such, I was not very pleased with this useless act.

That may not happen, especially if Nahi is loyal.
Ignoring the uncomfortable feeling, I took out the letter from my pocket and gave it to Nahi.

“Send this to Hyuk. “If Ji-seon has no work, tell him to come to Hanam.”

“…I follow your orders.”

“Oh and.”

As soon as I accepted the letter, I caught Nahi as she tried to disappear.

“Tell the prostitute to come here.”

“…!”

A look of surprise crosses Nahi’s face when she mentions someone.

“Can I tell you right away?”

“Yes, just ask them to come by next month at the latest.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

After finishing speaking, Nahi took a bow and instantly disappeared into smoke.

After checking it, I scratched my cheek.
It’s because of the ‘prostitute’ I mentioned.

‘Honestly, I don’t really want to call it that.’

Over the past few years, I have created several more demons and trained them as minions.
Changjaengi was one of them.

but.

‘He’s a troublesome bastard to deal with.’

Even among the demons who only gathered people who would go crazy or be slaughtered in the future, he was an especially crazy bastard.

It must have reminded me of the sword demon from my past life.
I don’t know if I did more, but it felt just as good.

‘That’s why I tried not to call him…’

I thought I should use him because he was perfect for the job I had in mind.

‘Even if it’s not like that. I guess I’ll have to sing them all soon.’

Mines spread everywhere.

It was time to call them all.
As the time is coming for what we have planned, it is time to gather the guys together.

‘…Will it be okay?’

Since they are all crazy people, even I am a little hesitant.

‘I can’t help it.’

I had to do it because there was no other way.
Because I had to succeed in my plan somehow.

Sigh.

‘It’s a plan…’

When I try to remember it, my stomach starts to churn.

I turned my back.
Seongyul, who had been waiting outside, approached and stood in front.

I said while looking at the guy’s cloudy yellow eyes.

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

As I walk forward, Seongyul slowly follows behind.

I moved and raised my head. I saw a crescent moon rising in the sky.
Seeing this, I took a step forward.

The first night after returning to Hanam passes slowly.

There is approximately less than a month left until the festival.

‘…after that time.’

I must become a villain that the world will fear.

At the same time.

I also planned to become a hero who shines brighter than anyone else.
