Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 674
Time passed and seven days and nights passed.
Hanam was still crowded with people.
Summer has already become the hottest time of the year.
Of course, even if there are countless people.
I didn’t go out and stayed in the dorm most of the time.
Even if it did move, it was hard to tell what was changing since it only moved around night time.
I just focus on my training and wait for time to pass.
thud-! Thump thump-!
A heavy rebar fell to the floor and made a loud noise.
His body was drenched in sweat and his breathing was rough.
“Huu…hu….”
I calmed my breathing and relaxed my body.
As the weight disappears, I feel lighter.
at the same time.
Sssssssssssssssssssssss-!
The rebar that fell to the ground instantly turned into fog and disappeared.
Surprisingly, the rebar was an object created with power.
‘It lasts a little longer.’
last few days.
After handling the power several times, there was considerable growth.
If it has a simple shape like a rebar, it is now possible to maintain about half the diagonal.
However, for those with multiple colors or complex shapes, the duration of the product is lower than that.
‘This alone is enough to get me nowhere.’
Objects created with authority are not much different from the real thing.
That alone had considerable value.
‘The terms of use are… things I know in detail.’
You cannot create unknown or uncertain objects.
And the more information you know, the more precisely you can create it.
‘It’s a really nice power.’
Even though I lost my regeneration, I’m glad I was able to salvage this.
If I didn’t even have this, I would have been really upset.
“after.”
I took a breath and wiped my body.
It’s been a while since I worked hard and the fever is no joke.
I waved my hand slightly as I wiped it away.
Saaaa-!
Then, a subtle energy spreads from the fingertips and fills the room.
It was cold.
The cold that remained in my body from the ice crystals.
It filled the room and started to lower the temperature.
“It’s a bit cooler now.”
It is a difficult energy to use separately in battle, but it is good for this purpose.
I looked away, my body cooling in the cold.
“Whoa….”
Other than me, other people were resting there as if they were tired.
It was Woohyuk and Seongyul.
Seongyul was staggering as if he was going to die at any moment.
Woohyuk was similarly panting, but not to the point of collapsing.
I said while looking at the two.
“Should this be enough for morning training?”
“…All right.”
“If it’s in the morning, does that mean there’s also afternoon?”
Seongyul answered as if he was used to it, but Woohyuk looked at me in surprise.
“So, let’s end this?”
“…Your training volume has increased.”
“Of course it should be increased. “Your level has risen.”
“…”
I don’t know why you look surprised.
Isn’t it natural to increase the amount of training as one’s level increases?
“Oh, you are a Taoist, so you might not know.”
Do it.
I heard that Taoists, unlike simple warriors, are more obsessed with enlightenment.
Did you say that once you reach a certain level, you pursue formal enlightenment rather than physical training?
‘I don’t think that’s a bad thing.’
I understand that everyone has their own way of pursuing things.
I don’t know if Woohyuk will actually do that.
“I brought you out because I was annoyed that you were stuck in the back room. “You can take care of it starting tomorrow.”
“…”
“Accordingly, do it or not. “It means your heart.”
Woohyuk does not respond to what I say, but nods slightly.
Are you coming out tomorrow too?
I felt like it was going to come out.
“And…”
I had something to say, so I was about to continue talking to Woohyuk.
“huh?”
“no. “Let’s talk about this later.”
I didn’t think it was something to say right now, so I held back.
I guess it would be okay to just tell you what’s bothering you before you do it.
It’s been about 10 days since I returned to Hanam.
Woohyuk barely showed up immediately after entering the residence.
He did not return to his job as a shaman and was just stuck in his place, living a life close to hiding.
The reason was none other than Goeseon.
‘Rather than a ghost ship, to be exact. It’s because of my power.’
The power that was taken from the network and given to Woohyuk.
play.
Woo-hyuk was trying to cure the fibroids using regeneration.
This is because of what I secretly spilled to Woohyuk.
This means that regeneration could heal not only one’s own body, but also the bodies of others.
Upon hearing this, Woohyuk immediately went to find Goesun and tried to treat his arm.
Of course, it seems things are not going as well as expected.
Just by looking at Woohyuk’s expression, I could tell that it wasn’t easy.
Nevertheless, it seemed like Woohyuk kept trying something.
‘I hope it goes well.’
This is not a kind-hearted person who wants to get better.
If Woo-hyeok succeeds in treating his gangrene, I will also have a lot of information to gain.
‘If it succeeds… it also means that the power can grow the more it is used.’
Just as I am gradually becoming more proficient in using ‘wind’.
If Woohyuk also enables regenerative growth. It has also been proven that the power becomes stronger the more it is used.
also.
‘We need to see if there are any side effects to handing over authority.’
He turned Woohyuk into a mine and gave him regeneration.
Since we are not giving any seizures due to demonic energy, we are not seeing anything strange yet.
As it was a new method, I had to keep checking Woohyuk’s status.
‘If you say there is no problem with using it this way.’
Perhaps, just like the Heavenly Demon did in the past, I may be able to share my power with the Demons.
‘No, looking at Woohyuk, I can already see that he can do it.’
It’s just that I don’t have the power to give it.
‘…Then, how on earth was the Heavenly Demon possible?’
If we say that the supernatural power given to demons was indeed power.
Plus, if she empowered me in the same way.
‘The number of powers the Heavenly Demon would have is well over a hundred.’
Regardless of how it was stored in that small body.
‘How did they collect it?’
and.
‘Why did you share it?’
I had doubts about Cheonma’s actions and questions about his identity.
‘Cheonma…’
I bit my teeth as I thought of the woman.
Because I remembered what happened seven days and nights ago.
After that, I did not visit Gu Hee-bi or Cheonma.
Although he ordered personnel to keep an eye on Cheonma from time to time, he did not visit it in person.
From what I heard, it is said that the Heavenly Demon has already noticed their presence.
He said he didn’t touch it and didn’t care.
Did you say that you normally do household chores and hunt for food?
‘Small disease.’
Cheonma is doing housework.
It’s absurd to even imagine.
‘What on earth are you doing?’
What is the intention?
Why is Goo Hee-bi…. No.
‘Did the man named Grandpa just throw away the Heavenly Demon?’
Gu Hee-bi said that the previous head of the family left Cheonma in her care.
Is that really true?
I couldn’t figure it out.
Also, the man who was said to be dead is still alive.
The fact that someone from the Gu family suddenly entrusted the Heavenly Demon.
This is something I tried to ask my father after meeting Gu Hee-bi.
‘…My father has not arrived in Hanam yet.’
The members of the Gu family who had started together arrived first.
‘Where did my father go?’
When I thought he might be missing, Mrs. Mi gave me a letter, saying she had received it from her father.
A neatly folded letter.
Inside was my father’s rough, neat handwriting.
[It’s late.]
“Ha.”
I was astonished as soon as I saw it.
Anyone could see that it was a message from my father.
‘He told me to come quickly.’
I never thought my father would be late.
I wondered if something had happened, but…
‘…I’m not particularly worried.’
When I remembered my father’s helplessness, I wasn’t that worried.
“Whew…”
I sighed and shook out my hair.
‘It’s still a situation where we need to be careful. There’s a lot going on.’
It’s the same with Cheonma and my grandfather.
The problem was what was right in front of me.
‘There are only a few days left.’
The reason I visited Hanam.
There are only a few days left until the rain festival hosted by Maeng.
‘Nahi already said that.’
There was news that the construction of the non-stage that was in progress inside the club was completed yesterday.
This meant that it was time to get ready.
but.
“…”
The time I had planned has arrived, but for some reason, my emotions are extremely calm.
No, it would be correct to say that it is empty.
It’s quite different from a few days ago when the tension was extremely high.
Why is this like this?
Why do I feel like this?
Although he expressed doubts, he also knew the answer.
‘It must be because of the Heavenly Demon.’
The Cheonma I met a few days ago.
No, I don’t know if it might not be the Heavenly Demon.
If, very if.
If the Heavenly Demon can become like Zhuge Hyuk or Nangong Bias…
‘For what purpose should I fight?’
The question that comes to mind immediately becomes black in my mind.
This is probably the reason for the emptiness.
“Ha…there is no such thing as a head body.”
I sighed and lamented the reason I could barely remember.
I should be happy when the person who causes bloodshed is gone, but I wonder if I feel regretful.
‘Rather than being sad… it’s just empty.’
It was a feeling that is difficult to explain.
Is this what it feels like to lack a sense of crisis?
Sigh-!
He immediately hit his cheek with his hand.
Woohyuk and Seongyul were surprised to see that, but they didn’t care.
‘Wake.’
Whatever happens, things don’t change. No, it shouldn’t have happened.
‘It doesn’t end when the Heavenly Demon disappears.’
You might have thought that way in the past.
Not now.
‘There are still blood demons left.’
A being called the Dragon Emperor and presumed to be one of the pureblood dragons.
The one who caused the bloody war called the Blood Demon War centuries ago still remained.
I still haven’t figured out what he’s up to.
Even if the Heavenly Demon changes. My work will remain the same.
but.
‘Even if you know that.’
It’s just that the empty stomach is not easily filled.
“…Tsk.”
After clicking his tongue briefly, he put on the military uniform he had taken off.
“I go first.”
I spoke to Woohyuk and Seongyul and walked away.
It was also time to eat.
Today, I had to move slowly because I was going to have lunch with Nangongbia and Wei Xue’er.
‘Dang So-yeol said he had work to do.’
It is said that Mo Yong-hee and I do not eat lunch together because we always have work to do, but it is somewhat surprising that Tang So-yeol has disappeared.
I heard you’ve been going out often lately.
What on earth are you doing alone?
‘I’ll be back by evening. ‘I’ll take care of it.’
It’s ridiculous to worry about a woman who is not a child and is a grown woman.
Even Tang Xiaoyeol is a military officer of Hwagyeong.
So, I’m going to go to Wei Seol-ah’s residence.
“hmm?”
As I opened the door, I felt a presence in front of me.
“See you, master.”
When I opened the training room door, Nahi was waiting in front.
“what’s the matter?”
“I came to talk to you because there is a customer looking for you.”
I frowned after hearing this.
customer? Why now?
Why does work always happen before eating?
It’s annoying.
“…who.”
I asked, holding back the heat.
OK.
“This is Beomdong, the great dragon.”
An even more annoying name came out of Nahi’s mouth.
