Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 360

It feels like there is an unbearable weight on your shoulders.

The soles of my feet didn’t move as if they were glued to the floor.

It is a cramped feeling as if the whole body is tied to something.

‘Fuck.’

Cursing comes out of nowhere.

The first thing I felt was helplessness. At the point of being caught by some unknown sense, the thought in my head is that I can’t escape this cramped feeling.

I bit my teeth and tried to move somehow.

Kwadeuk.

I try my best, but it doesn’t work.

My body wasn’t even shaking even though I was using my strength like this.

I tried to raise the bet.

‘The bet doesn’t move.’

As if there was not a handful of bets in the Danjeon.

I can’t feel any flow.

like.

It felt as if the world was blocking him from being able to save the woman in front of him.

The eyes tremble.

Light continued to emanate from the staggering Weiseolah.

What is that, some kind of bet?

no it’s different I could tell by looking at it.

The girl who had been talking to me until now.

It is gradually disappearing.

Her body remains the same, but the presence she should have had is disappearing.

right in front of my eyes

Where do you go and how do you disappear?

I didn’t know what would happen if it disappeared.

At least one thing is known.

If you leave her like that, you will never see her again.

You say you meet like this and then disappear right away?

Besides, the weakling who is disappearing like that.

‘You want me to just watch?’

Koo Woo-wook.

That’s ridiculous.

Increased strength in the body. Even if the strength is raised, the body is still in a hardened state.

The difference is that the more you exert your strength, the more your body is overloaded.

Poududeuk-!

Muscles are torn and bones are strained.

It was painful and I felt it clearly.

It didn’t matter.

‘Fuck…’

I try to move, but the shackles are very hard.

It would be nice if I could make a bet, but let alone the bet, even Magi didn’t move.

please.

‘Try to move somehow.’

What do you do when you raise the bar?

I can’t save a single person I want to save.

In the midst of continuing to use a child as if to break the body.

“I’m not in a position to dare to say this to you, but…”

Weiseolah starts talking to me.

“I have two requests.”

In the midst of this, what kind of absurd request are you asking?

I wanted to tell you to worry about yourself.

The damn mouth didn’t come off.

As if she would not wait for my words, Wi Seol-ah brings up a story.

“Please love this child a lot….”

It’s not yourself staying in the past.

It meant that he was the owner of the body now and wanted to love Wi Seol-ah in this life.

His voice is full of sorrowful and pitiful emotion. Because I’ve already given up on everything.

It must have been that kind of reaction because he thought he would no longer have any regrets on this earth.

Hearing that, I wanted to ask.

‘Then what about you?’

If you ask yourself like that and leave.

What’s left of her now?

To her who changed her body and life for others.

She risked everything to save the world.

What remains after disappearing like this?

‘I’m not yet.’

I had a lot to ask.

How did you come to this era?

What happened to you after I died.

why.

Why did you miss me and chase me here?

Those were the words I wanted to hear from his own mouth.

But should I send it like this?

It couldn’t be.

…I can’t do that.

‘Please move.’

I feel a tingling sensation in my body.

It meant that the strength of the body alone had reached its limit.

Hello, is there no way?

Should I just let her disappear like this?

in front of my eyes?

By the time the feeling of shame starts at the tip of the toe and rises up to the tip of the neck.

Wiseolah told me the second request.

“…call this child by name.”

“…!”

When I heard that story, I felt like something heavy had fallen in my head.

It must be because he never imagined that the request Wiseolah had made would be something like that.

‘To call me by name…’

I don’t call someone by name.

If you ask why, there is nothing that can come to mind.

It may have been in the past though.

If you come and find it now, it will be ambiguous.

Let’s take a look at the reasons we had in the past.

I would have just been scared

By calling someone by name.

Engraving that person’s name and existence into me.

I fear that someone important enough to engrave on my body will see my incompetence and rot inside and run away in contempt.

that would have been so scary

Time passed and flowed, and now, I am confused about the fact that I just call someone’s name with my mouth.

Something got uncomfortable.

It is ripe.

Not calling someone’s name.

Thinking of it as important and imprinting it on your body.

‘…No. That’s not it. It’s just scary.’

I erased the excuses that came to mind.

I try to pretend to be strong and pretend to overcome everything.

The essence knows itself.

It was because I disapproved of myself in my previous life.

Right after the war broke out, it was because I didn’t want to be shaken by someone’s death.

As of now. In a time when bloodshed and war were destined.

Not only because of the Heavenly Demon, but in this land full of worldly secrets, nothing has been solved.

I’m trying to keep no one in my heart. Even while rolling like a tenacity to watch them.

I was full of anxiety that I really wanted to be able to protect it.

‘then.’

Is Wi Seol-ah asking for such a favor because he noticed my weakness?

You couldn’t do that in the past, so try changing yourself in this life.

Is that the meaning of the story of requesting love for the present-day Wi Seol-ah or calling her by her first name?

Nonetheless.

‘Aren’t you asking me to do it for you?’

I didn’t ask myself to do it right now facing me.

pitiful and sad

Because I lived my whole life for someone else, not for myself.

Even if you come to the moment now, you don’t take care of yourself.

It was so sad.

You are, after all, a divine sword until now.

That image was embedded in her heart, so she hoped that she would not live like that in this life.

I hoped she wouldn’t hold the sword.

I didn’t want to learn martial arts.

Live without losing your expression and smiling.

Live for yourself rather than others.

Live your life doing what you want to do.

If possible, I hope that I will be where the new sword should be.

So let me do what she should have done.

It was such an attitude.

‘But.’

What have I accomplished by going through regression and coming this far?

nothing.

really didn’t accomplish anything.

Wi Seol-ah finally grabbed the sword.

He learned martial arts and reached the peak level within a few years, as if his previous life’s talent was not a lie.

The child who always smiled was gradually losing his expression.

He said he grabbed the sword to protect me.

In the end, it means that he grabbed the sword again for someone else.

That someone just became me this time.

‘You bastard.’

The most important thing is if nothing has changed.

What the hell are you living for right now?

Passs…

The energy I felt from Wiseol-ah gradually fades away.

Along with the energy, I could see Weiseolah slowly sinking down.

Get down on your knees and close your eyes.

She was preparing to say goodbye.

‘wait.’

I’m not ready for anything yet.

What are you preparing for?

After going through a regression, it has become a life that I would not have dared to imagine in my previous life.

He earned the nickname Jinryong.

In the past, I was called the Sogaju of the Gu family.

Now, it is called a nickname that is cool even if it is embarrassing.

I won’t live an embarrassing life this time.

Furthermore, protecting the people around you and protecting the future.

In the end, it will bring me peace too.

I thought so.

Even though it has already become a very different life from the previous life.

‘Then what are you doing?’

Duduk.

Unable to withstand the pressure, blood vessels burst in the eyes.

‘So what are you going to do?’

fame and honor.

and serenity?

It’s useless.

I couldn’t save that woman in front of me.

What does all of that mean?

Paddeudeuk-!

You use more force to overcome the pressure.

My body, already at its limit, screamed, but I didn’t care.

If it breaks, fix it.

Now I only look ahead.

More ahead will be seen later.

‘please.’

What can I do if I get out of here?

What can I do after going to her like that? Since it is already fading, will going to her change anything?

‘please.’

It’s a futile effort.

Even now, just watch and be sad.

Though such thoughts run through my head.

More than a rational thought to me.

His little instinct that he shouldn’t have left her like that now prevailed.

Even if my life ends right here.

I couldn’t leave her alone.

The moment I thought so.

Saaaa…

‘… Huh?’

I felt as if someone was hugging me from behind.

Warm hands hugged my neck for a moment.

As it is, slowly hold my hands.

It was such a feeling.

my body was alone Except for Weiseolah, no one was around.

It’s warm.

It was so warm that the exhausted body and typhoon in my head felt as if I had been calm for a moment.

and.

I felt the pressure that had been constricting my whole body disappear.

hands are moving

Feet come off the floor.

He ran out and hugged Weiss.

“ah…?”

Ignore the pain you feel when you move your body.

As I hugged Wi Seol-ah’s small body.

“how?”

Wiseol-ah made a surprised sound as she held me in my arms.

“How… how can I move…”

“Weird.”

“…!”

He called her name into her ear as he hugged her tightly.

She too, who spat out in surprise.

She shuts her mouth, probably embarrassed to have her name called.

“…they say they want to go somewhere on their own.”

“…Ah…”

“Even if you go, you don’t have to listen to everything people say.”

Wiseol-ah who listened to what I spat out.

Slowly wrap your arms around my back.

“…I guess I’m dying.”

“what?”

“They say that if a person is too happy, he will die soon after. If not now, are you dreaming?”

“…”

I put a little more effort into hugging.

I feel warmth in my arms.

I could feel her heart beating.

Even so, I couldn’t stop the energy from disappearing.

What should I do?

Now how can I…

[…I want to embrace it.]

I hear a voice in my ear.

It was a familiar voice.

‘This voice…’

When I think of the owner of the voice, my eyes are about to open wide.

[There is no time. Hurry up…]

A urging sound fell in my ear.

There was no hesitation. Because I knew there was no time to worry.

Ugh.

Activated the magic punch hole. Unlike before, the bet did not move.

It was working properly this time.

“Old… Confucius?”

Then Wiseol-ah called me as if she felt something.

“…be still.”

“What… are you doing?”

If she knew what I was going to do, would she stop me?

It will definitely dry out.

He might scold me not to do that.

I don’t know if imagining it would be fun in its own way.

‘Since when did I listen to others?’

I had no intention of listening.

“You were being selfish too. I will do as I please.”

“…Ah…no. I…”

The energy that radiated from Wiseolah and flew into the air turned and headed toward me.

I could see energy coming through my body.

Nothing was felt.

nothing. It means that energy is entering the body, but you do not feel anything.

“I do not know. Is this right?”

“Old Confucius…”

“What will happen if this happens. I don’t even know.”

“then…!”

“But still.”

I couldn’t see what Wi Seol-ah’s expression was like.

I couldn’t see his face because I was holding him.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can send you off like this.” Upon hearing the words

“…”,

Wiseolah did not respond.

However, I felt Wiseo-ah’s hand wrapped around my back getting a little stronger.

That’s it.

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

…what if we had lived a little different lives.

What Wiseol-ah said to me kept ringing in my ears.

Would I have had a better life then?

you also.

And me too.

Gradually, the light emitted from Wiseolah faded, but soon returned as if nothing had happened.

Only then did I relax my hands and change my posture to look at Wiseol-ah.

Weiss had her eyes closed.

“…”

When she opened her eyes again.

It’s not the Wiseol-ah you’ve been facing until now, but the Wiseol-ah you’ve known in this life.

Does this Weiseol-ah remember what happened now?

Or maybe she knows about my secret.

Now, rather than thinking like that, I wiped my chest with my hand.

‘…what happened?’

Although I absorbed the energy into my body.

There was no trace of her anywhere, be it short circuit or heart.

There was no other way to think of it.

I just followed what the voice told me to do.

“…”

An unknown voice spoke to me.

I wonder how I was able to follow other people’s words so easily.

I had already heard that voice.

never.

It was a voice I had never erased from my head in my life, so it must have been natural.

If I’m not mistaken, the owner of that voice must be.

who left me in the distant past.

“…mother.”

Because it was my mother’s voice.
