Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 682

A cool sensation passes by my cheek.
I raised the corner of my mouth at the texture that my instinct told me about.

“Look at this bastard.”

You feel obvious hostility from the other person.
He nodded, facing yellow eyes beyond his distorted expression.

“Did you know?”

“…”

“how did you know?”

He asks a question, but Shinryong just bites his lip and doesn’t give an answer.

If that’s the case, I don’t know why I asked.
I looked at him quietly and asked something else.

“So, why should I refute that?”

The saying that Hwa-kyung is the youngest is a rumor.
Is there any need to refute that? I don’t know.

“That’s…”

At my words, Shinryong slowly opens his mouth.

“…Because the rumor is false.”

The youngest Hwa-gyeong officially recognized by the Murim League is Shin-ryong in front.

However, this is only official information.
So who is the real youngest Hwa-kyung?

Is it me?
Maybe so. It would be truly enormous to reach a point of peace before the terms and conditions were passed.

but.
Can I say this with certainty?

‘well.’

I don’t know.

Unofficial information is literally unknown information.

And, it didn’t matter if I was really the youngest Hwa-kyung.

“I don’t really care.”

I didn’t care about such personal things and honestly, it didn’t mean much.

‘What is the meaning of what I have achieved like this?’

My current level is just something I achieved based on regression.
The youngest Hwa-kyung? To me, it was just a useless word.

How does that help?
It doesn’t matter to me at all.

“Just do it yourself. “I’m going.”

Take as much as you want.
Because I had to get something bigger than that.

I don’t know how Shinryong knew this. It didn’t really matter either.
Feel free to use those rumors if you want.

After saying that, I was about to leave.

“…To the Lord.”

Shinryong frowned even more and spoke to me.

“Do you pity me?”

‘hmm.’

After hearing the words, I looked at Shinryong.

Especially the eyes.

Hwangan’s overflowing emotions are clearly…

‘Is it an inferiority complex?’

It contained emotions I knew all too well.
These are the eyes I had in my past life, and these are the eyes I often wear these days.

‘I can’t believe Shinryong opened his eyes like that to me.’

I wondered if that bastard would do something like that to me.
I looked into those eyes and asked the guy.

“Have you seen me anywhere before?”

“…”

There’s no way he would look like that for no reason. I think there’s some reason.
I’m not sure why.

‘It’s a strange thing.’

It’s the same with Sword Dragon Youngpoong. Is it Shinryong this time?

I had no idea why these rare geniuses looked at me like that.
This time, Shinryong, who did not respond, briefly clicked his tongue.

“I don’t know what it means. “Is it okay for a monk who believes in Buddha to have eyes like that?”

“…!”

Hearing my point, Shinryong’s eyes widen slightly.

And then his expression immediately began to change.
It seems like he noticed something strange.

Looking at that, I narrowed my eyes.

“What’s the problem? “What do you not like?”

What on earth is the problem?

“Do you want me to do what I did? I’m just a rumor and it doesn’t matter, so just do what you do. “What kind of pity is this?”

Who am I to sympathize with? I’m too busy living to die.

Although he said it full of annoyance, Shinryong’s reaction was still the same.

“…I don’t understand.”

“what.”

“With these stories going around, how can the donor not express himself?”

As the saying goes, Shinryong’s face is full of doubts that he doesn’t understand at all.

“You can correct anything, right?”

“What do you need to correct?”

Are you asking me to correct any rumors?
Are you telling me to scream that it’s me and not that guy?

“If I don’t want to do it, I won’t do it. “What are you?”

Is it okay for this side to act like they don’t need to prove anything? It’s just a matter of arguing.
and.

“When did you say you wouldn’t do it?”

“…yes?”

As soon as he gave the answer, Shinryong’s expression changed.

“It’s an expression and an outburst. “There’s no need to do it now, so I’m just not doing it ‘now.’”

I take pride in showing my strength without correcting rumors.
As Shinryong said, we endure it even though it can be shown and fully corrected.

Don’t worry.

“There isn’t much left anyway.”

There isn’t much left until it’s time to show.

“…If you want to show it, you can show it as much as you want. “Is this what you mean?”

“It won’t be that difficult.”

As Shinryong himself mentioned, it wasn’t that difficult to show it if you wanted.

It’s just that I don’t do that.

The reason is.

‘If you endure it and show it, the impact will be bigger.’

I’m not an idiot, and I didn’t just sit back and listen to ridiculous rumors.

I just waited for the right time. That time was now.
I don’t know why Shinryong cares about me. Even so, there is only one thing to say.

“So, if you want to see it, wait. “Don’t do anything useless.”

“…”

I’ll show you in a moment.
Isn’t there a stage ready to show?

“I don’t care about anything.”

It was just for show.

Did you say it was Yoosung’s generation?
An era where stars pour down like rain.

Even though the peace was broken, it was largely because of that that we did not lose hope.
There were so many stars to protect me, so I could breathe and believe in that.

Meanwhile, I never once thought of myself as a star.
Just look up at the falling meteors from below.

I never thought of it as a meteor coming down on its own.

‘There are a lot of stars now. The value seemed too low.’
Rather, I thought it was good that way.

If countless stars come down, I will collect the light from the falling stars and burn a flame alone.
In this way, it will shine alone in the end, so now it is just preparation to burn the flame.

While thinking that, I looked at Shinryong calmly.
Shinryong opened his mouth to me with his gaze gradually lowering.

“…I heard that the mayor is also participating in the Bimu Festival.”

“that’s right.”

When I nodded and answered, Shinryong carefully put his fist and palm together.

I thought you were trying to make an example.

“If you do, I’ll see you there.”

Shinryong showed a calm demeanor and added.

However, unlike his attitude, his words were no different from a declaration of war.
After hearing the words, he nodded and said.

“You don’t like me?”

I don’t think I had much contact with Shinryong, but why did he feel that way from the first time we met?

“It’s not like that.”

“No, that’s bullshit.”

There was a clear sign of dislike for me all over my body.

Even now, don’t the words themselves mean that you will fight with me?

‘Hagiya.’

I don’t feel like I’m going to do it regardless of who I like.

Even if I hated it, it didn’t really matter.
I nod my head in understanding.

“Because I have to prove my worth through donations. “This is for that purpose.”

Shinryong shook his head as he added more words.

“Gachira.”

Proof of value.
These are truly subtle words.

“Does defeating me prove your worth?”

“I do not know. One…”

“If that’s the case, you lose to me?”

“…!”

Shinryong, who was about to say something, was cut off.
Upon hearing that, Shinryong’s face hardened.

“…What an arrogant thing to say.”

I felt like I didn’t like it.
It seems like his pride was hurt because he was sure that he would lose by all means.

‘I didn’t mean to do that.’

There was no need to correct my words, so I decided to stay still.
Even if you fix it, it may not make much of a difference.

So I’m just looking at Shinryong.

“Words are meaningless, so let me show you. How complacent the arrogance of the city owner was. “I will show you myself.”

Shinryong spits out his words, turns his back on me with burning eyes, and walks away.
He seemed a bit angry.

“hmm.”

I looked at his back and thought about whether or not to grab him, but I held back as well.
I don’t really care about what Shinryong said…but the problem is.

‘Shouldn’t I tell you about that?’

Oil smeared around the corners of the mouth.

Shinryong’s mouth was filled with traces of having enjoyed eating meat. Can I just let that go?

‘…No, I guess I’ll take care of it.’

I tried to hold him and tell him as much as possible.
Looking at the crap he was talking about, I thought I could just let it go.

What did they say?

‘I’ll see you there?’

Eat.

I smiled as I remembered what Shinryong said.

‘That’s fun.’

Let’s remember that they asked to do it first.

So, no matter what happens now, it’s that guy’s fault.
After quenching my appetite, I also turned towards my shelter.

Two people like that.

“…”

Peng Wujin was watching from the roof of a nearby building.

With a very cold look in his eyes, different from just now.

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

Time has passed since I returned.
By the time the sun was setting, I had finished my afternoon training and had arrived at God’s place.

It was to see Namgungbia, who was receiving treatment.

“Are you okay?”

“…Yes….”

Nangungbia, who was quietly peeling and eating an apple, nods.
As I said, it looked good.

I asked while looking at what was in Nangongbia’s hand.

“…Don’t you usually cut that with a knife?”

“…It’s annoying….”

Square.

Surprisingly, Namgungbia, who was peeling apples, was using a sword to peel the skins.

I don’t understand why you would use that when you have an overcoat right next to you, but that’s probably what you do if it’s convenient for you.

“That will be fine.”

As I was looking at this, God of Faith spoke to me.

“Trauma was a bigger problem in the first place…. The girl’s body was so strong that there was no problem with her strength.”

“Is that so?”

After hearing God’s words, he looked at Nangong Bias in wonder.

Normally, if you suffer trauma, there will be problems with the energy itself.
Namgungbia didn’t seem to have that problem.

“Regardless of the fact that it is unmanned, its resilience is quite excellent. “They said it would take three months, but… it looks like you will be able to fully recover much sooner than that.”

“…thank god.”

I was able to spend an hour listening to God’s words.
I looked around and asked Shinui.

“Where did Gooeseon go?”

“Well, that’s fine. From what I saw earlier, it looked like he was going out with my student. “Isn’t it like going for a walk?”

I nodded after hearing the words.

‘I guess I went to try again.’

I guess Woohyuk went to use his powers on the monster.

I couldn’t hear if there was any progress, but seeing him keep doing that made me feel like something was happening.

‘It would be nice.’

Then, even if you get hurt, you can just go to that guy and ask for treatment. It will be very useful.

Even though God’s treatment is the best in the central region.

‘In the end, I couldn’t get my severed arm back.’

I thought this was a good thing and at the same time took a quick look around.
It was to find someone.

“…the two went out….”

This time, Nangongbia gave me the answer.
When I heard that, I cleared my throat slightly.

“Hmm, what do you mean?”

“…Aren’t you looking for Soyeol and Seol-ah…?”

She speaks calmly while chewing an apple.
…It was the correct answer.

I was looking for him to see where he had gone, but it seems he was caught right away.

I scratched my cheek awkwardly.

“It’s not like that in particular…”

Why?
For some reason, I feel stabbed by the fact that I found other kids in front of Namgungbia.

Because of that, as I was averting my gaze, I heard a laugh from somewhere, ‘Ugh!’
I turned my head and looked at Nangongbia.

“…why…?”

When I looked at Nangongbia again, she had the same expressionless expression as always.

“Isn’t that you?”

“…what…?”

“I just laughed.”

“…I don’t know….”

Isn’t it Nangongbia?
Then the only thing left is faith.

“What are you looking at?”

“…no. no.”

weird? The laughter clearly belonged to a woman.

“Isn’t that really you?”

“…I don’t know…”

I asked Nangongbia as if interrogating her, and she shook her head and said.
The important thing here is not the answer of yes or no, but the answer of “don’t know.”

‘I guess that’s right.’

Let me ask you a little more. The moment I was thinking so much.

“…Ah… indeed….”

Clap-!

Nangungbia clapped her hands and performed an act that did not work.

I laugh out loud when I see that.
So I decided to just skip it.

But.

“…Tomorrow…the head of the family is coming.”

“hmm?”

The words that came next were quite important.

“The Sword King is coming?”

“…huh.”

King Changcheongeom, the head of the Namgung family and father of Namgungbia, comes to Hanam.
This was quite important information.

together.

“You said your little brother would come too…”

“…Really?”

There was information that one of the geniuses of the Nangong family, Nyolong… no, Nangong Tianjun, the thunder dragon, was also coming.
I tilted my head when I heard that name.

‘It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.’

This is a guy I haven’t met since I met him at an engagement party.

‘I made it mine and threw it away.’

He was also the first person I turned into a demon.
At first, I was planning to use it and throw it away someday.

‘I forgot about it for a moment.’

I completely forgot about it.

‘That guy is coming too…?’

This was a bit strange.

Nangong Cheonjun is coming to Henam. That can’t help but be annoying.
because.

‘Surely there must have been a ban placed on him by me?’

A ban was placed on him not only to never leave Anhui but also not to approach his sister.

‘How did we get out of Anhui?’

Even coming here was a problem.
If what Namgungbia said is correct, this is impossible…

‘Has there been a problem with the ban?’

There was no such sign.
How did this happen?

Just as I was thinking about this.

[Master.]

A small sound was heard.
It was Nahi’s voice.

[‘Chang’ woke up.]

“…”

I frowned after hearing Nahi’s words.
Why is it now?

I was planning to stay a little longer.
I suppressed my inner sigh and spoke to Nahi.

[Let him sleep longer.]

I was saying this because I wanted to knock him out again and leave later.

[…I know this is a presumptuous statement.]

Upon hearing this, Nahi responded in a slightly troubled voice.

[It’s already been the fourth time he’s been stunned… and if he does more, it looks like the spear will run out of control.]

“…”

Yeombyeong.

“ha.”

After hearing Nahi’s words, I couldn’t bear it anymore and sighed.
He was frowning with a look of annoyance.

Sigh.

Nangongbia stroked my cheek.

“…what?”

When I looked up to see what this was doing, Namgungbia put the remaining apple in his mouth and spoke.

“Have a nice trip…”

“…”

When I heard those words, I slightly widened my eyes.
Did you hear an electric sound? That can’t be possible, right?

“how did you know? “Do I have to go now?”

“Because the eyes speak….”

My eyes say something, not even my mouth.
I looked at Nangongbia with a dumbfounded expression.

OK.

“…Come back….”

Nangungbia took out the hand she was stroking and shook it slightly, as if telling her to come back quickly.

I smiled a little at that sight without realizing it.
Funny enough, he seemed relieved to see this.

“okay. “I’ll come again.”

“huh.”

After spitting out the words, I stood up. I didn’t want to go, but I felt like I had to go.

After saying hello to Shinui, who was making medicine next to me, I went out the door.

Afterwards, the place I headed to was where my residence was. The moment I walked inside.

Kwaaaaang—!!!

The sound of something exploding was heard from inside.

“Tsk.”

After briefly clicking his tongue, he immediately spread his energy everywhere.
A curtain was formed around the shelter.

The place where the sound was heard was at the back of the living room.

It was a bit of a corner, but I had to close my eyes tightly at the sight I saw when I arrived.
Not to mention the messed up space.

“…Bwa….”

Seongyul was lying on the rock in the distance, sobbing.

‘Why is he here?’

Leaving Seongyul’s unexpected appearance behind. In front of him, Nahi was holding a dagger and aiming at someone.

“Grrr….”

A sound is heard from a place where a thick layer of dust rises.

It sounded like the howl of an animal.

“…Cult leader…Where is the cult leader!!”

Kwaaaa-!!

A sharp, loud cry suddenly causes a rush of wind pressure.
The dust is swept away by the wind and disappears in an instant.

I slowly approached, looking at the person who remained there.

“Where is the religious leader!! Where are you!! Come out now! “If it doesn’t come out–!!”

“What will I do if it doesn’t come out? “You crazy bitch.”

“Oh!”

The woman who was making a fuss by expressing her energy stops and looks in this direction.
It was a woman with short black hair and purple eyes.

Although she looked pretty at first glance, she was a woman with a shitty temperament that overshadowed even her appearance.

The expression on the woman’s face changes as she checks on me.

“It’s the cult leader! Cult leader! “There’s a cult leader over there!”

The woman looked around as if she was excited about something.
Soon, the woman stretches her hand into the air.

at that time.

Shiriririk-!!

A stick flies from somewhere in the forest and is caught in the woman’s hand.
It was a long stick painted black.

“Liar cult leader. Instead of calling them and mating them, they tied them up and locked them up! “They didn’t even play with me!”

Gooooooo—!!

A tremendous amount of speculation began to flow around the woman holding the stick.

It is truly wild and vast.
The speculation alone was enough to make the surrounding trees tremble.

“This needs to be punished! “I can’t stand it!”

Afterwards, the woman pointed the stick at me.

Kwaaang-!!

It kicked off the ground and rushed at me.

My eyebrows tremble slightly from the eerie feeling of life.

I can’t help it.

“I’m going to scold you–!!”

[Get down.]

Ugh!

“Kwaaak-!”

Quad deuk-!!

The woman’s feet, who were running as fast as they could, get tangled and her face falls to the ground.
The recoil must have been so great that he fell to the floor and rolled in front of me.

I moved my feet while looking at that.

Kuuk-!

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”

He stomped on the head of the whimpering woman.

As pressure is applied to prevent her from moving, the woman who was stepped on begins to squirm.

“Kwaaan…you, that’s too much… ah, isn’t it? It might feel good…”

A pathetic voice was heard. When I heard this, I had to hold my eyebrows.

‘As expected, I called you that for no reason.’

The more I looked at it, the more I thought I had called it wrong.

The woman’s name is Bongsoon.

She is a demon who will later be called Ghost Chang and sweep the battlefield.
He was also the only blood relative of Jeondae Geomhu.
