Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 357
A black space at the back of Shinryonggwan.
In a space that looks like a black curtain spreading over the sky right now.
Fighting.
A dark-haired figure wearing a half-mask appeared.
With one shoulder empty. A severed arm was held in the dark king’s remaining hand.
blood doesn’t flow The bet had already stopped the bleeding.
“…”
The dark king came out with a calm expression and looked somewhere.
Among the countless trees, a woman was waiting with her back leaning.
Yak Lee Rip was a beautiful woman with long black hair and a beautiful appearance.
Seeing her, the Dark King spoke first.
“I kept you waiting. sorry.”
“…No…”
The woman who had been waiting quietly was Soi after the volcano sword.
After time passes, she confirms the dark king who came out of space and raises her eyes.
Because one of his arms was cut off.
“Are you okay?”
At the words of the swordsman, the dark king raised the corners of his mouth very slightly.
“You’re still kind, even worried about me.”
The swordsman frowned at the dark king’s words.
By the time the Swordsman met the Dark King, the attack had just begun.
At the same time as an unknown black curtain was drawn around here.
Geomhu wanted to quickly head to where the gwando students were. At that moment, he was unable to move because someone blocked his way.
An unknown being with white hair and white eyes. The man who stood in front of the swordsman looked at the swordsman and said this.
-A long time.
-…!
The identity of the man was the dark king.
– How could the elder…!
The moment when the swordsman tried to speak to the dark king with surprised eyes.
The dark king’s fingertips were already touching the tip of the swordsman’s neck.
Nothing is known about the Dark King’s martial arts.
Swordsman vaguely knew.
Dark kings do not use daggers unlike other dark guests.
It is not necessary because he must have already reached the level of one body like Maehwa Seon, who can be called his parent or teacher.
Of course, even if that’s the case, it’s true that having arms can bring out more maximized efficiency.
The Dark King is a person who does not use weapons as if he does not need such a thing.
If you wish for this touch of your fingertips.
Your own neck will be cut off no matter how much you want.
My senses shook as I looked at the rapidly changing situation and the safety of the officials.
That instant of difference created the present moment.
no
If it was the Dark King, it would have been impossible to calculate and create even that difference.
In such a situation, there is only one thing the swordsman can say.
-…Please let go.
I don’t know if there is a way out.
Even the time to find it is running out.
So I chose to rain.
-If you came to kill me, I will quietly close my eyes… But for now…
-After the sword, I have no intention of killing you.
-then…!
-That’s why it’s more difficult for you to move.
I didn’t know how the Dark King did this to him.
He said he would give his life if he wanted it.
Instead, the children begged to be saved, but the dark king refused.
The Dark King has no intention of killing himself. If so…
Sew.
The judge’s judgment was quick.
I could have done a little more rational calculation.
It seemed there was no time for that now.
The moment he raised the bet and tried to pull out his sword.
– It makes things difficult.
The Dark King twists his hand that was touching his neck and moves it.
fillet.
It’s a bet that he hastily pulled up at the sensation of brushing his neck, but he neutralizes self-defense as if nothing happened.
That was it. After the sword, he lost consciousness immediately after.
By the time Swordhu came back to his senses, most of the important things were over.
Many closed their eyes.
It means that Shinryonggwan was right after it was ruined.
“How did you do that?”
“What do you mean?”
“…the children are dead. Dozens of children.”
At the end of the sword, the dark king still has the same expression.
To put it a little differently, should I say it’s an incomprehensible expression?
“so.”
The swordsman’s face distorted at the words the dark king uttered as if to answer.
“Do you think it’s my fault?”
“If the elder hadn’t stopped me…!”
Took.
As soon as the swordsman spits out the words, the dark king’s form disappears.
The place where the dark king appeared again was behind the back of the sword.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something. Do you really think you would have saved this situation had I not stopped you?”
“…Even if we couldn’t, we could have saved more children.”
The dark king nodded slightly at the words of the swordsman.
“That’s a fair word.”
The dark king’s fingertips touched the back of the sword.
“Do you think I have a reason to do so?”
“… the old man.”
it’s a cold voice
“Your righteousness and cooperation are understandable, but wouldn’t it be selfish to expect them from me?”
“This is different from that…”
“Not different. Because the stories of people dying and living are all the same.”
The Dark King’s voice was firm.
“I know it’s frustrating and unfair, but I want you to know one thing. Rather, you are in a position to thank me.”
“…What do you mean.”
At the words of the swordsman, the dark king quietly sighed.
“I don’t want to talk about it because it seems condescending.”
“Old man.”
“Let’s talk about something else.”
The Dark King cuts off his words as if he will not talk about this any more.
However, he had no intention of going over like that.
“My story is still…”
“It seems like you are mistaken about something.”
As soon as the swordsman was about to speak, a tremendous amount of life spewed out from the dark king’s toes.
The far-off coercion made even the swordsman hesitate.
“That little boy from before. Even you now.”
Perhaps it was the effect of the mask, but the black eyes gradually turned white.
“What do you think is the reason it’s stuck on my neck even though it’s getting on my nerves?”
His expression didn’t change at all from the first time.
Even breathing was not easy for Geomhu because of the constant bursting of life.
Swordsman didn’t think he was arrogant or proud of himself.
But even so, I don’t think that my realm is low.
His pride in him is at a level that can be acknowledged as he has been given the nickname of swordsman.
I didn’t expect that the level with the dark king would be this much different.
‘Even though it was a surprise attack earlier.’
If it is night and the dark king wants to kill.
There is a rumor spreading that it can kill even the world’s triad.
Although the swordsman had never really believed in this rumor.
Looking at the dark king now, I can only think of that.
“Because you are related to my friends. It means that that small reason is protecting your lives.”
close friend
The swordsman already knows who that means.
A person like his teacher and parents.
The current leader of Hwasan. It must mean plum line.
It was also at that time that the swordsman saw the dark king for the first time.
Geomhu was very young.
A little less than ten people had visited the volcano.
At that time, it was before Mae Hwa-seon became a great writer.
It was a time when it was called a volcanic light sword instead of a nickname called Maehwaseon.
The people who came to say that they were close friends of the Volcano Light Sword.
There were only people who would later be called absurdly strong.
among them.
There was even a person who ascended to the current triad.
“Huh…”
The swordsman finally let out a groan, and the life that had been confining him disappeared in an instant.
“Maehwa Line. Since he is a child in his arms, I can understand what his temper is like.”
The dark king passed the sword and moved a little.
“I’m different from him, so don’t bother putting your values into me. There will be no next time.”
The king of darkness is not a righteous person.
It was difficult to call someone who was called the King of Slayers a true faction, even though they weren’t called Sapa.
The Dark King knows that too.
I didn’t even think of myself as a Jeongpa.
There is no hesitation because it was necessary.
It means that the importance of life is not a story to be discussed with a dark-speaker.
“If you need to blame me for their deaths, think so. I will get past that much.”
The Dark King walked to the side of the swordsman and raised one of his arms in his hand.
Attach it to the cross section of the severed shoulder.
Seeing this, the swordsman couldn’t help but be astonished.
“…!”
Didn’t an unknown slime form on the side where the arm and shoulder were attached, and then quickly stick to it?
After it was all attached, the arm was even moving.
at that time.
Raise the arm with the Dark King high in the sky.
After the sword, I wondered what that meant.
Wow.
The moment the Dark King clenched his fist with his outstretched hand.
Damn-!
“…!”
The black membrane that covered the sky began to crack.
That means blocking outside help.
It means that the power that helped the raid while covering the light was the power of the Dark King.
Geomhu looked at him as if he could do that.
He said while looking at the sword to see if the Dark King had confirmed that line of sight.
“What kind of eyes are those?”
“That arm… how…”
No matter how much faith he had in reaching the end of the medical technique, he couldn’t put his severed arm back together like that.
It was a medical science, so it was difficult to discuss.
Seeing the reaction of the swordsman, the Dark King tilted his head.
“You must already know that there are not only humans in this world.”
“…then the elder…?”
“Well, I don’t know. I still think of myself as human.”
Swordsman quietly swallowed dry spit while watching the dark king.
Looking at the behavior of the dark king now, he grasped his true intentions.
That’s kind of a warning.
The sword felt that way.
“I know you are looking for something.”
“…!”
The swordsman was taken aback by the dark king’s words.
“I’d like to tell him not to do it if possible, but I’m not saying he won’t do it, and I can’t kill him, so I’ll bear with it.”
“Does the elder… know something more?”
What the swordsman is looking for.
That is, including the whereabouts of a close friend, and what happened to the Shinryongdae in the past.
Does the Dark King know this?
The swordsman asked with his eyes flashing.
The Dark King just turned his head.
“Even if I know what you want, I have no intention of telling you.”
“…elderly…”
“Because if you are in danger, that crazy guy will go on a rampage.”
As the dark king said that, he recalled someone’s face.
There were three people in total that came to mind.
One of them is a gigantic man who seems to be laughing while still stuck in a mountain valley in Shanxi.
The other was already dead.
and one remaining.
It is a child song that has a deep relationship with the above two people.
‘bantling…. I can’t call it that.’
A young man with black hair and eyes unique to his family.
It seemed that it had been a long time since he was already young and looked down upon.
Did you say it was the youngest peak?
The Dark King didn’t really believe the rumor.
Seeing it with my own two eyes made me laugh.
‘Hwagyeong.’
What a flower.
Even if I search all the midfield, I am an unmanned level that is expected to not exceed 1,000 people.
To the point where the average age wants to be reached only after reaching old age.
The fact that a young man who did not exceed the terms and conditions entered.
It will dare to go down in history.
It was a surprise even to the dark king who thought he had no emotional ups and downs.
what more do i need to say
However, apart from that, the Dark King cared about something else.
‘It wasn’t an illusion.’
It was clearly felt.
From a young blood relative who is said to have been born in the Kuga family.
The dark king sensed that a scent similar to his own was emanating from him.
******************
“Etch…!”
I thought as I wiped my nose at the sudden sneeze.
who talks about me
why is your nose so itchy
“…It’s a gossip, not once or twice.”
Then I quickly erased it from my mind.
It’s about someone talking behind my back. It’s not once or twice, so can I pay attention now?
As I finished, I looked at the person sitting in front of me.
“What are you doing here.”
“…”
No answer.
As if exhausted, he just lowered his head and trembled thinly.
I sighed and called her again.
“sister.”
“…”
I saw the woman’s shoulders twitch at my call.
It seems that he was listening.
“Are you going to keep moaning?”
“…someone…someone cries…!”
Gu Yeon-seo was the woman who raised her head at my words.
“Pour your eyes red and wipe them properly before you speak.”
“…Huh…”
At my point, Gu Yeon-seo hurriedly rubbed my eyes with her sleeve.
“Ugh, that sucks.”
“…you…you’re weird.”
Gu Yeon-seo speaks in a trembling voice as I speak teasingly.
“I saw that… How are you all right?”
People die in front of your eyes.
A government official’s throat is cut or cut by a sword, and he closes his eyes while bleeding.
I could hear breathing until just before.
In just a few seconds, the breath stops.
“…I almost died.”
Gu Yeon-seo almost died.
Caught by the attacker’s huge hand.
It means that he almost died by being cut with a sword.
If I hadn’t died, I might have been in a bad situation.
And the one who saved it was, ironically, Gujeolyeop.
Gujeolyeop took a surprise attack and rescued Guyeonseo.
After that, did you say that he survived while killing the prey?
“But you…”
“Me what.”
what was i doing then
Maybe it was around the time he was catching and killing the other guys.
It’s not that the oral statement is incomprehensible.
midfielder out. No, even that was in Shinryonggwan’s arms, so it wouldn’t have come out.
If Gu goes out, it’s probably going to be in the Longfeng Branch or the Shanxi area.
Did you know that you would experience a real battle like this?
Even so.
“I wish I could live.”
“…you…!”
All I could say was this. It’s understandable that you’re scared.
Crying like that is understandable.
But I won’t say that it’s better than dead kids.
If I say that, what does it help?
“Heebi’s older sister would have done that.”
“…!”
I heard the story of Goo Hee-bi.
That crazy person would have thought so.
soaking up a lot of blood
no matter what you’ve been through
‘I wish I could live.’
Having said that, he would have brushed off and woke up.
It is not only the oral history that has experienced real combat.
“…Why are you talking about your sister?”
When he mentions Gu Hee-bi, Gu Yeon-seo’s eyes go wild.
It is also the Gu family.
When I write it down, it looks very scary.
“Suddenly here…!”
“You said you wanted to be like that person. then you have to get up What are you procrastinating on? It’s embarrassing.”
Children who are in good health lead their trembling bodies to clear away the rubble.
Busy taking care of injured children.
I don’t know if I can do that because I haven’t suffered worse than Gu Yeon-seo.
There is no one who can understand the inside situation like that. Even so, no one will understand.
“Did you say thank you to the guy who saved your sister?”
“…”
“You didn’t? Embarrassed, really. Noona, just keep your last name. Wherever I go, I am a Gu-ga person~! Don’t live like that. Because I am embarrassed.”
“This bastard…”
Gu Yeon-seo growled at me.
“You don’t care what you know…!”
“I don’t know, of course, how do I know?”
I don’t know anything.
Even bloodlines aren’t that close.
And that I don’t know that much.
It means that others are not interested in the circumstances of Gu Yeon-seo. Hearing that Gu Yeon-seo was doing this, he heard whispers from behind.
really annoying.
“If you’re going to keep chugging along, do it. After a while, someone will be sent from the house. Then hold their hands tightly and return to Sega. Instead of.”
I said, turning my back on Gu Yeon-seo.
“Don’t go anywhere and say that you are unmanned in the future. Be sure to tell the head of the household that way too.”
“…”
I didn’t hear Gu Yeon-seo’s answer.
just take a step Instead, it spread excitement.
Shortly after I left Guyeonseo.
I heard sobbing from the Guyeonseo side.
This time, I felt myself getting up and walking towards the officials clearing the rubble.
I felt it and let out a snort.
All the dark aura that hung in the sky disappeared.
Some time later, a person from the Murimmaeng will come.
Then, sooner or later, the story will go into the three families to which each gwando student belongs.
Then something pretty big will happen.
‘Shinryonggwan is…’
Whether or not the Shinryonggwan will be maintained this time.
Of course not.
I was aiming for early graduation, but should I say that it was meaningless?
I hope it’s a good story because it turned out as I hoped.
It never happened.
‘…This can’t be good.’
An unprecedented event occurred.
that’s not good either.
To have a headache.
continued walking. Now all that’s left is… First, I’m going to go to Biuijin and have a conversation.
Because it seemed right to end it quickly.
I’m moving like that
Mo Yong-hee, who had been waiting for me for a moment, ran towards me from afar.
“what. why run?”
“Gongja-nim…”
Seeing that he was slightly out of breath, he seemed to have run hard.
“Why? What happened again…?”
My voice trembles a little as I speak.
Because I heard about the accident that Mo Yong-hee confessed right before.
If she did anything, it was because she was driven by fear.
But that wasn’t what Mo Yong-hee said.
“…Soju Wei is waking up.”
“…!”
It means that the weasel child has awakened.
Hearing that, he ran away without answering.
It’s because there is someone to find before the rain.
