Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 345

< Episode 345 > Second Coming. (4)

Kuuuuu!

After a huge blast of heat swept through.

The heat quickly subsides in the still-cold spring breeze.

To be precise, it was recovered by power failure before the heat spread.

Knock… Knock.

The sound of burning ashes was heard.

Traces of the remaining flames remain on the floor, burning gently.

Calm down the wild bet.

I checked my body condition.

‘Have more than half of the bet left?’

Unlike in the past, when the harpoon was gone after using the rain technique.

Even after firing flame jade continuously while using red cloth, the bet remained more than half.

This was due to the fact that as the stage reached Hwagyeong, the upper stage opened and the bowl became wider, making it much easier to apply efficiently.

Look around.

A black curtain still stretched across the sky.

The places where the red cloth was applied and pierced a little quickly filled the vacant places and were completely filled.

‘What the hell is that power?’

I looked closely, but couldn’t confirm it right away.

It’s strange.

It’s subtle to call it jinbeop, and it’s qualitative to call it martial arts.

Could it be the power of a ghost?

It could have been.

Move your gaze.

tadak.

The building of Shinryonggwan, which was cracked and was on the verge of collapsing.

Now, half of it has been blown away, making it ambiguous to treat it as a building.

It is because the harpoon was blown away by the explosion of the Great Flame Jade.

‘…’

I think it must have been too much, so I break out in a cold sweat.

Wouldn’t you like to pay for it later?

Crisp.

Stepping on the burnt branches, I moved forward.

In the place where the blast has passed.

full of dirt

He waved his hand and created wind pressure.

Woowook-!

The wind blows away all the dust.

A huge pit full of traces of flame is visible.

walked there.

in the center of the pit.

Something in the form of a black thing was wriggling.

It was the soldier of Hwagyeong who had been fighting until just before.

‘He’s not dead.’

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem dead.

I didn’t throw it with the intention of killing him in the first place.

If there was a slight mistake.

As soon as he raised the level, he used his strength, so he couldn’t control it properly.

No trouble if you die

I haven’t figured out anything yet.

“Kuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”

The old man coughed up blood.

Fortunately, it seemed that he was able to avoid the fatal blow.

Even if it was surrounded by strong winds, it seemed that it was not normal because it was swept away by the explosion.

“… This… Inoom….”

The old man whose face was half melted.

He looks at me and gives a lively look.

If the old man is weak.

That’s not it.

Old people are strong people.

I wonder if there are weak people among those who have reached the Hwagyeong.

There was also a blue sea sword made in that shape, and the moment I faced it, I could tell that it was an unusually strong person.

Even in the same realm, there are numerous differences.

When you reach the hwagyeong, the difference becomes extreme.

Considering the gap between the elderly and me, it must be a significant difference.

Even so.

Even so, the reason why he was able to make the old man like that was in the end.

‘Even the warriors of Hwagyeong will be eaten by demons.’

It was because it was eaten by the old Magi who had been planted in the corner of the Danjeon.

‘I’m not quite as well, though.’

At the time of the battle with the last Hwangbo family’s secret agent.

Because the old man was also a person who had just ascended to the Hwagyeong.

It wasn’t that difficult for Magi to infiltrate the Danjeon.

However, this time was a little different.

‘It was close.’

During the battle, he had to mix the magic so that he could not be noticed.

It was not easy for demons to penetrate because the old man’s state was strong.

much less

If it hadn’t been for the wall, Magi wouldn’t have been able to enter easily.

I mean.

‘As he climbed the hwagyeong, his demonic energy was strengthened.’

At the same time as he crossed the wall, the demonic energy inside his body also became stronger.

Should I really take a good look at this?

‘No, I don’t like it.’

Thanks to that, I was able to bring victory in the fight.

Rather than being established and advancing.

The bigger reason was that he had won with Magi’s help.

I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Even more so, the aftermath of using demonic energy was circulating on the body.

‘There is no internal wound, but there is a feeling of turbidity, so it remains.’

Although it was not mixed with energy. At first glance, it is unpredictable that it may invade.

Is it especially because it’s on the hwagyeong?

It felt like the contamination of Magi had become particularly thick.

What happened to the purification speed of the Flamethrower Gong?

I’ll have to figure this out for sure later.

Once approached the old man.

“What are you?”

“Cheuk…”

He grabbed the old man’s hair knife and raised his face.

No respect for losers.

Especially if it’s Sapa.

In the first place, regardless of whether it is a political faction or a faction, bastards are bastards, so I don’t really argue.

“What are you here for?”

“…You…”

A long list of scars can be seen on the old man’s neck.

Is it a sword? I saw that it came out so thick.

It must have been quite fatal.

Besides, why did a warrior of this level attack Shinryonggwan?

“Aren’t you going to tell me?”

The old man’s body trembled slightly at my question.

Is it anger or fear?

From my point of view, it must be the former that does not seem to be fear.

Not good.

If that’s the case, you should be tortured.

‘You’re not alone in the raid. I need to figure out the situation.’

It’s just that it’s not such a relaxed situation.

In fact, it doesn’t really matter what the other guys do or say.

‘…They’re not kids.’

It couldn’t be for those around them.

The reason why they were stubbornly rolling in the devil’s realm and raising their level was for their sake.

it was for me

it was for them

It seems like the situation has become messy now .

You have to figure out what the kids are like.

Thinking like that, I couldn’t help but frown.

‘It’s not so nice to have more things to protect.’

Contrary to what was originally planned.

It was that there were more people around him to protect.

On the other hand, I look good at the life that has changed from the previous life.

Thinking about the future made me feel a bit cramped.

Time is running out.

Should I torture you?’

There is no time, so it is ambiguous to torture.

More than anything. Is it still difficult to control the increased power?

The point is that it is rather difficult to torture delicately.

Especially if it’s a person who has suffered like that.

I’m thinking about what to do for a while.

“ .Turn… drag.”

The old man laughs out of nowhere.

“Why are you laughing?”

Have you lost your mind because everyone is dying?

Then it won’t work. Say what you say and die.

“.. You have scary eyes.”

“what?”

“These are the eyes that worry about how to kill me… I have seen countless people with eyes like yours. It has to be. They were all Sapphire.”

“so.”

Are you trying to make a personal attack because of my fierce eyes?

“The children with eyes like that…. All of them were buried in the ground in my hands, but now I’m like that.” “

What can I do? Do you feel sorry for me?”

Did you even become old?

The old man says the same thing .

Hwaruk

wrapped the flame around his hand.

Unlike the peak, the color and intensity show a clear difference.

Looking at the entwined flames, the old man said dejectedly.

“You… are you really a member of the sect?”

“Then, where is a Jeongpain as faithful as I am?”

I even clean up the sapa like this, but who is the political faction?

I thought about it for a moment and organized my thoughts.

‘kill.’

!

….

to kill without torture.

Not only is the situation not good, but he doesn’t seem like a person to gain anything from.

I judged that it would be better to take care of it without going back and throwing away time.

Among the innumerable energies that I was already caught up in, I could feel the energy poking at the top of my head.

Reach out.

“This black dragon sword. It’s not even Wihyo-kun, it’s being killed by a lump of blood.”

‘Black dragon sword…?’

I almost hesitated for a moment at the words that came into my ears, but I didn’t stop.

Rather, it accelerated.

A hand touches the old man’s face.

No, it was just before reaching it.

1 can’t be

Deuk Deuk.

“.. !”

Change was felt.

Retrieving the outstretched hand, he spread the distance behind him.

It raises the strength and raises the tension to the extreme.

There is a reaction to the danjeon to the unknown energy that is caught in the senses.

[ Le… Le Leung…]

“You…?”

My eyes widen at the sound of crying.

The one who had not appeared while rolling around in the demonic world as well as in the present world had suddenly opened his eyes.

[Currure…]

The growl is quite harsh.

It was evident that he had bared his teeth at something.

And that something goes.

‘ .Is that it?’

It was probably that old man who called himself Black Dragon Sword.

“A black dragon sword?”

I think I heard the name somewhere, but I can’t really remember it.

If it was a famous nickname, I would have remembered it right away.

I wonder how he doesn’t know that a low-level soldier even has a nickname.

Now wasn’t the time to think about that.

“What is that?”

A change was taking place in the old man’s body.

“Keah heh… heh uh uh…”

Starting with the scar on the back of his neck.

Something starts leaking out.

It is disgusting to see them wriggling and moving.

To express the feeling, it was like a giant earthworm.

Roaring-!

He raised the flame and placed it in his fingertips.

If you leave it as it is, it looks dangerous, so you can’t stay still.

I feel that the bets I have accumulated in my Danjeon are emptying in an instant.

While casting martial arts, he observed the changes in the old man.

‘What the hell is that… is it a monster?’

Speaking of monsters, it was the first form I had ever seen.

A monster that parasitizes on humans?

I don’t know what it is, but it’s not a good situation just by looking at it.

Flames gather in the palm of your hand.

This is to cast the Infernal Jade used just before once more.

I was thinking of burning it entirely.

Little by little it was taking shape. That look isn’t too creepy.

Even the aura I felt was somehow cloudy and dark.

Should I say that it is a little different from the magic that monsters have?

Hwareuk-!

The preparations for the hell are over.

I’m trying to take action to release it right away.

[Kreung!]

Pop-!

“what?

along with the sound of crying that came from within.

I felt the energy in my hands disappear in an instant.

“This crazy.”

The young beast had arbitrarily controlled my energy and released it.

Was this even possible?

Was it possible to interfere with my aura?

First of all, I had to find out why this guy was suddenly interfering.

“Why do you stay asleep and suddenly wake up and disturb me…!”

The moment I tried to ask.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

with an ear-piercing sound.

Something that used to be an old man spews huge tentacles towards me.

It was quite fast.

I’m trying to raise my strength and take action.

‘ .uh?’

Suddenly, I couldn’t move as if my energy was blocked. I wonder if the bet is down.

It can’t be.

When I checked earlier, I confirmed that there were more than half of them left.

Aside from my bewilderment, the tentacles fly quickly.

It’s not serious.

If my qi is not working, I wonder if I should raise other energies first.

Pak-!

The tentacle that flew right in front of me was cut off in an instant and fell to the floor with a thump.

Tentacles that have fallen to the floor disappear as if they are melting.

In a way, it seemed to be absorbed into the ground.

“What…

when you want to know what just happened.

A reaction was felt in the center of the pit.

You direct your gaze straight in the direction of the monster.

‘There’s someone.’

A person I had never seen before was stabbing a monster with a sword.

It seems that he was the one who blocked the monster’s attack on me just before.

‘I didn’t feel the presence.’

Even if you’re out of luck and blocked.

Feelings spread all around.

Even so, if you didn’t notice about that person.

It was very likely that he was a master.

‘Who is it?’

It doesn’t look good.

It is that the recognition is not well with the blurry presence.

This meant that they were deliberately hiding their energy and presence.

In a pure white uniform.

It’s the white hair that goes well with him.

Kkiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The monster starts screaming as if the sword stuck in its torso is in pain.

Where is your mouth that screams like that?

Who is presumed to be a man?

I move my hands as if in response to such a scream.

Chew-!

The sword stuck in the body swings and cuts the monster lightly.

The reason why I breathe in vain while watching such an action.

Even though he is watching the movements he takes, it is not properly recognized.

The white-haired man who split him up once.

As if the monster had been incapacitated for a moment, he reached out and touched the body of the monster in the gap where the movement had calmed down.

The slimy, oil-like liquid might be unpleasant, but the man didn’t hesitate.

soon

“…uh?”

I see the man’s shadow moving, not the man.

The shadow, which began to move slowly, jumped out and embraced the monster.

—Kyaak… Arruk…

The not-so-small size was bound to the shadows without any gaps.

Although it keeps thumping as if struggling inside.

It seemed that the movement was also for a while, but it soon became quiet.

I couldn’t understand the situation that had happened in an instant, so I had to look only at the man.

How the hell did this happen?

Did you feel my gaze?

The white-haired man gradually turns his head this way.

The pupils were white, like the gray hair.

The skin is also pure white.

As much as I want to be a human being like me.

The other brother was somewhat mysterious, so I was fascinated for a moment.

“Are you going to continue watching?”

That was what the man looked at me and asked.

Contrary to expectations, it is a much thicker voice. Hearing that voice, he had to startle.

” who are you.”

It seemed to have saved me, but the identity is unknown, so the tension is raised.

It’s as if you’re trying to respond.

I was nervous and asked what to say.

The man looks at me and slowly opens his mouth.

The moment I want to hear an answer like that.

Uh…

“What?”

Feeling the energy behind my back, I turned around involuntarily.

This is the direction the mountain will be.

My body trembles with the energy I feel there.

Is that all?

Sweat even formed on his forehead.

“..why?”

Without even picking up the words I spit out.

Raise the bet over the monster and the man and leap forward.

It’s a sudden sudden action, but .

The white-haired man did not stop me.

speed up quickly

There is no reason why they move so quickly.

All too familiar somewhere in that high, high Taishan.

Even so, it was because I started to feel the energy that I didn’t want to feel again.

‘No way… that can’t be the case.’

I want to repeat that no.

The imprinted aura of the body was already giving me a confirmation.

Obvious.

far away in Taishan.

I could feel the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon.
