Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 23

EP.23 Why are you here again…? (3)

Why are you here again…? (3)

Geomjon’s wager shakes the place of Guyangcheon. Elder Lee immediately opened a bet and covered the place.

rough and ferocious To think that the bet of a swordsman who did not hold a sword was so sharp.

‘They say dragons get bigger with age, so that’s right…’

A drop of sweat dripped down Elder Lee’s chin.

This was the bet that leaked out a little through the sword master’s wavering emotions.

The three great masters of the world.

Swordsman was clearly proving that the name was not a lie.

“You cross the line, old-fashioned.”

“You know better what I mean.”

The master’s field of vision is wide. Right now, I could look down on half of the old family into an area that a master of the Lee Elder level could grasp if he used all his bets.

Right now, I can’t grasp the every move of masters such as the head of the house or the swordsman. I could see the actions of others.

The presence of a person comes closer to Mu-in.

So this elder could know.

“You should know right away, so how can you pretend you don’t know?”

Elder Lee recalled Wiseol-ah.

She was a girl with incredibly beautiful looks, but in Elder Lee’s eyes, it wasn’t like that.

there’s nothing.

I couldn’t feel any of the presence that a person should have.

awe or fear.

These two contradictory words come to mind when looking at Wi Seol-ah.

There is nothing that a person should have as a bondi human being. However, the empty inside of Wi Seol-ah was filled with something else.

is it light or darkness At the level of Elder Lee, he couldn’t even see that.

But if it’s the Sword Master, can’t the Sword Master also see it?

“What is the identity of that child, senior?”

“My granddaughter is a human being Gu-ryun!”

Swordsman slammed the tabletop with his hand.

The tabletop was broken and landed on the floor, and the swordsman’s bet exploded in an instant.

Because of that, a great shock came to the body of Elder Lee, who had been wearing a bet to protect the place.

However, it did not show.

Elder Lee swallows the boiling blood and speaks again.

“Do you think that if you find Uiseon, you will be able to fill that child with something else?”

Eui-seon is an old man who dares to be called a doctor from God, but can he really do such a thing?

A shallow presence that would be unknown even if he came right behind his back. In the past, even when he faced the owner of the all-night killing squad and was called the king of killers, his presence was not so shallow.

But strangely, Wiseol-ah’s stomach was filled with something else.

It was different in nature from betting that filled the Danjeon or innate spirit that any human being would have.

Elder Lee felt an incomprehensible infinity inside Wi Seol-ah’s body.

‘What the hell is that…’

To humans, ignorance is fear. Elder Lee clearly felt fear for Wi Seol-ah.

What is in that little child? I was curious but didn’t want to know.

Instinct said so. That it shouldn’t be opened.

“Is that why you are hiding now? Do you want others to see you?”

How would other soldiers look at Wi Seol-ah? What if you see it similarly to Elder Lee?

In the first place, there will be few fighters in the midfield who can see this from Wi Seol-ah.

But it’s not like it’s not there at all. What if they see the secret of Wiseol-ah like Elder Lee?

How to judge the unknown that a small child sees.

Of course, looking at the sword master’s expression, it seemed that it wasn’t solely because of that reason, but I don’t think I could ask any more.

A tingling sensation in the back.

It was as if the tips of dozens of invisible swords floating around were glaring at Elder Lee.

There was nothing in the swordsman’s hand.

But obviously, all of these swords belonged to the Sword Master.

Is this the heart sword that is said to be the highest level that a swordsman can reach?

I couldn’t tell from Lee Jang-ro, who wasn’t the swordsman.

“If you ask me more, I think you’ll cut your juniors without hesitation.”

“Goo-ryun is the reason why you’re alive now, so don’t be sad.”

“I don’t know what the senior is thinking and why he is carrying that child. I am not even curious.”

I don’t care what other people think It’s a daunting life to see only the path you have to go.

That was the idea Elder Lee had.

“If I had been a senior in the past, I wouldn’t have worried.”

In the eyes of Elder Lee, Sword Master was at stake.

I feel that the sword called Sword Master, which I thought would never rust, has been blunted by Simma.

The Pillar of the Righteous Sect The Heavenly Swordsman of the Righteous Sect was called and deserved to be called that.

Elder Lee once had a sense of reverence for the sky that would have been contained in that small body.

But what about now?

I could see cracks in the sky that was so high. Elder Lee looked at the swordsman and said,

“If the senior says that the child is a person, he will think so. It’s just that my will doesn’t matter.”

Elder Lee left the broken table behind and stood up.

In order to fulfill the family head’s request, Elder Lee had to head straight to the Namgung family.

“Don’t regret what you chose. There won’t be anything so shabby. You probably know best.”

Shortly after Elder Lee left the residence, the Sword Master’s bet disappeared.

After recovering the bet he had been standing on sharply, the swordsman wiped his face.

‘Is that child right?’

What Elder Lee said lingers in my ears. Are you the right person? Her granddaughter was definitely a person.

The Magical Realm.

The place where Geomson brought Wiseol-ah. Swordsman erased the memory of that time.

From the moment I first met my child. The moment when you put yourself in the child’s pretty mouth, the moment you walked through the field holding hands.

All of those moments were telling the swordsman that Weiseol was a human being.

Even if Wiseol-ah was destined to be at the center of the bloody apocalypse that would come to the world.

It’s enough if you cut down that fate yourself. It must be a sword sharpened and polished for that purpose, the swordsman swore to his own sword.

whatever the hypocrisy is. whatever the bloody

For the sake of his granddaughter, the swordsman could burn up the trivial life that would remain without hesitation.

Then, the Sword Master carefully collects the pieces of the table that he broke down one by one.

“I’m sorry…”

Even though the years had passed since he was born, he still felt that he was lacking in discipline because he couldn’t control a single emotion.

What if Wi Seol-ah is not a person?

What is lacking as a person is to be filled.

I would lay down my own life if need be.

Swordsman was determined to do so.

after a few hours like that.

Geomzon belatedly notices that Wi Seol-ah has disappeared from the family.

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

How long has it been since you rode the wagon? Gradually, your butt gets sore.

Looking outside, the sun had already set. It’s a forest road in a little while, so it’s time to take a break.

Soon after, the wagon was pulled up and preparations began for camp. It was a good area for camping as there was a valley nearby.

Is it because you’re sitting down? My whole body was sore.

Mu-yeon had a blank face for some reason, and then suddenly disappeared somewhere with a sword, saying that he would practice.

He said he would come before nighttime, so he’ll take care of it.

The attendants started preparing the meal and I stood in a field not far away.

How long will it be until Sichuan?

Even if I really can’t do it, I’ll have a few days left. As always, this nasty piece of land takes a long time to move.

It wasn’t for nothing that the Murim Meng in the past tried to tame a monster that could glide in the sky.

Of course, as a result, it also failed like a deer dog.

In the end, Murimmaeng judged that taming monsters was impossible.

‘…Though the Heavenly Demon was different.’

Ironically, the Heavenly Demon was able to do what the Murim Meng couldn’t do even after years of research.

The Heavenly Demon tamed the monster.

The monster bowed its head just by breathing.

Even a gigantic monster that seemed to swallow up Sega’s entire palace in one bite was a gentle sheep to the Heavenly Demon.

Even on the day he erased the Volcanic Wave from midfield in his previous life, the Heavenly Demon appeared riding a huge monster in the sky.

Does it make sense to tame even monsters?

“Is it true that a person who can do such a thing is a human being?”

Just thinking about it makes me sweat cold.

I had to stop thinking about it. First of all, you have to remember what lies ahead.

I put bets on my body to erase my thoughts. He practiced repeatedly, but his internal energy was too small to improve in a short period of time.

It seemed that it would take a long time for Guyeomhwarunkong, who was still at 2 stars, to rise to 3 stars.

The physical part, but first and foremost, the most urgent thing was the internal capacity.

This is the part I felt in the sparring with Gu Gujeo-yeop.

I can’t do what I can because of my lack of strength.

This was a matter directly related to life and death in real combat.

As he stepped forward with his left foot, he extended his fist forward.

phut!

I hear the sound of air bursting from my fast fist.

After doing this once, I feel that my inner energy is drained from the Danjeon.

Hold on tight and continue the next meal.

arm to leg and then leg to arm. Due to the inflexible body, it did not naturally lead to the desired movement.

In the meantime, the bet had to move fluidly.

After all, martial arts is the realm of the senses that the body remembers.

The state of no man is not easily given to those who are not prepared.

Shut up and repeat the training.

Repeating the same movement a few times already makes my stomach tingle.

It meant that the inner air was all gone.

“Whoa…”

He spat out his last bet in his breath as if he were spitting out leftovers.

I practiced briefly, but my whole body was already full of sweat. Insufficient internal energy continues to hold back ankles.

The thought of the magic breath perforation kept running through my head.

This is the fastest and most convenient way.

If demonic energy is not really accumulated in the body, there is no better deep gong to actually build up inner gong.

but.

“I barely escaped, but I don’t want to crawl back down that fucking road.”

Even if demonic energy is not accumulated, it is ultimately the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon.

With just absorbing a couple of magic stones, I couldn’t even properly check whether or not I had accumulated demonic energy.

I had a strong feeling that I didn’t want to be involved with it myself.

‘Not yet… not yet.’

this is a curse If returning is a blessing, it must come with a curse.

At the very least, it was important to find out and check properly.

How long has it been since you practiced? I think it’s past one o’clock.

The short practice was soon stopped, and the Guyeomhwarungong, which had been running continuously, also stopped, and the night wind felt particularly cold.

Due to the nature of the simbeop, you will feel less cold, but if this is the case, it is probably because you are wet with sweat.

Returning to the campsite, I asked for a change of clothes and headed towards the valley.

It’s annoying, so I just want to eat and lie down, but I still want to keep the name tag of a famous family child, so I had to show off.

The moment I was about to dip my feet into the valley.

-Kyaaaagh!

My head snapped back at the deafening scream.

It was none other than the wagon side that contained the food materials.

I immediately ran to the wagon, wondering what had happened.

what? Did the bandits even attack? I’ve heard that bandits have almost disappeared since the demon gates appeared.

As I approached the carriage, an attendant snooped toward the carriage, terrified.

“what’s the matter?”

Muyeon and the other escorts were already gathering after hearing the screams.

“I can see something moving inside…”

The attendant answered in a slightly trembling voice.

“In the wagon?”

Did even wild beasts hide at the smell of food? I wish it was an animal I could eat.

Soon the escort brought a lantern and lit the inside of the carriage.

Then something moves inside the wagon.

Appearing rustlingly, it felt like it wasn’t a small beast, so the escort drew his sword.

What was soon reflected.

“Umm… Huh…?”

It was none other than Wi Seol-ah with a carrot in her mouth.

I couldn’t open my mouth for a while after seeing it.

…Why are you here again?

‘…ah life.’

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a headache in a situation that seemed like something was seriously fucked.
