Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 405
Visibility was still dark. The blurred senses do not return.
how much time has passed It was not easy to even feel it because the five senses had collapsed.
just what you can know.
hook-!
“Keuk!”
This is the ninth time.
exactly nine times.
It was the number of times I was killed.
He stumbled and collapsed to his knees from the onset of dizziness.
Blood began to flow from the pierced neck like a burst, and I had to lose my mind with the feeling of getting distant for a moment.
a few seconds like that.
“Haha…!
After I came to my senses, I jumped up and stood up.
what was before? I felt like I was stabbed in the neck.
I carefully examined my neck with my hand, and I felt no pain, let alone any wounds.
‘…Shit.’
This was the ninth time I had this feeling.
That is, he died at the hands of the Dark King.
I frowned and looked around.
The surrounding area hadn’t deviated from the plain that Pazon had been with earlier.
‘What the hell is this?’
I wonder if I’m experiencing a fantasy, but the feeling when my throat is cut and my heart is pierced is so real.
It’s the same feeling when your throat is pierced with something sharp.
Looking at it, I was sure. I must have died nine times.
the problem is.
‘But how are you still alive?’
It’s about how am I still alive?
‘Fuck.’
Cursing comes out of nowhere.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand how it happened.
Pajon, that damn old man… What did he do to throw him into this situation?
I was dying at the hands of the Dark King after Fajon disappeared after I was told to endure it.
In many ways, it feels like shit.
It’s true law, hallucination, nabal, and I have to suffer like a dog like this at night.
“I really want to hit them all.”
Should I just beat up the heavenly horse and lock myself in the mountain?
I have a vague idea that it might be better.
fast.
I broke it down.
I know very well that I can’t do that, so I just thought of doing it.
He caught his breath and looked away.
Tension looms in the dim vision.
There was something to be done before judging the situation.
‘Where is it?’
raise the mood
Is there still recoil left? Or maybe something was blocking it, and the feeling wasn’t spreading properly, but it would be better than not doing it.
‘Where are you?’
I focused on the senses while spreading all areas that could be raised.
Pazon said.
This is also part of training.
And in order to finish this training, he said that he had to catch the Dark King at least once.
‘I don’t know what the hell this training is for.’
I know it’s not a situation where I don’t understand or don’t do it.
I just had to bite through it and break through.
“Whoa…”
He exhaled with enthusiasm.
The Dark King kept attacking me, so I was trying to catch him at that time.
It wasn’t that easy.
Crisp-
“…!”
Turn your head in the direction the sound came from. The moment I tried to stretch out my hand as if I was going to leave it to my instincts.
It came to my eyes that there was no one in sight.
I was mistaken…
Fuuk-!
“Keuk!?”
I had to scream involuntarily at the pain that the blade dug into my thigh.
Where did you stab him?
It’s backwards in direction.
So, did the pretending to be in front of you mean to induce your attention?
It’s only a thigh piercing, but the pain is exceptionally strong.
Is this also the power of martial arts used by the dark king? I thought I was quite used to pain because I had trained Tuapacheonmu.
This was a level that made even me scream.
‘Where are you?’
Even so, it was decided that it was more important to move to catch the dark king than the immediate pain.
Ignoring the pain I felt in my legs, I turned around and tried to find the Dark King.
Kwadeuk-!
“…!”
Before that, I felt the end of the Dark King’s sword digging into my stomach.
Blood gushed out all the way to the neck.
The pain that digs into the bones makes my eyes tighten.
Thanks to the dim vision, I couldn’t see the figure of the dark king right in front of me.
but.
Still, he reached out. Because it couldn’t be avoided.
I stretched out my fingertips in hopes of reaching them even a little bit, but before my fingertips touch something, I see something approaching in front of me first.
the end of the sword
The moment I recognized it and tried to move my head.
tall.
Before the end of the dark king’s dagger stabs my forehead. suddenly stopped in mid-air.
It was really close to the end.
Why?
By the time my head is full of questions.
“finished.”
Retrieving the dagger the Dark King was holding, he took a step back.
I tried to ask him what was the end.
Swoouuuuuu-!
As if to answer instead, the surroundings suddenly began to light up.
The sky, which had been dark until just before, suddenly brightened, and I saw the sun rising in the distance.
I looked at it and thought.
…It’s daylight?
‘Then what was it just now?’
It was so dark that I couldn’t even see an inch in front of me.
It became so bright in an instant… No matter how you look at it, it was an absurd situation.
‘No way…’
Only then did he realize that the power of the Dark King was the power of the dark king, except for the deaths so far.
I get goosebumps on my back when I think about it.
‘He’s a crazy person.’
It was said that there was no one who could defeat the dark king at night, but this meant that this human could overcome that and create night.
I heard that an assassin waits for the right time and tries to assassinate by finding the right environment.
Isn’t it too much to be able to make the time and place right for you?
‘…furthermore.’
The thigh, which had just been stabbed, was in pristine condition without a single wound.
Like the deaths immediately before, this phenomenon is absurd no matter how you look at it.
‘Should I call this martial arts?’
Rather than martial arts, I thought it was a force close to the truth.
The pain was too clear to dismiss as a mere hallucination.
Can this really be considered training?
It seemed like training was close to torture.
‘Although it’s too neat to be torture.’
Calling it torture was a bit ambiguous because the way it led to death was so neat.
I gulped and looked at the dark king.
“That’s all for today.”
As the Dark King said, it dispersed like fog in front of his eyes and disappeared.
It seemed that no further conversation was necessary.
I was able to let out a shaky breath only after confirming that.
“…is it really over?”
I heard that this training only takes place at night.
Is it because the dark king disappeared as soon as morning came?
What this means.
“So you’re saying you have to do this every night?”
That I have to be killed like this by the dark king every day until morning?
“…”
I thought about that and then I was worried.
‘Should I really just beat them all up and run away?’
I had to seriously think about that.
******************
When Gu Yangchun is seriously contemplating running away.
The Dark King arrived somewhere in the forest with light steps.
When he shows up, by the time he arrives at his destination.
“Here you are.”
Pajon was sitting on a rock and drinking alone.
Judging from the two cups, it seems that he already knew that the Dark King would come here.
Pazon tossed a drinking cup at the arriving Dark King.
The glass that was flying into the air suddenly turned and slowed down to land on the palm of the Dark King.
Seeing that, Pazon laughed and said to the Dark King.
“You just have to accept it, so why spend your energy on it?”
“This is comfortable.”
“Tsk tsk.”
After accepting the cup, the Dark King slowly approaches and sits down next to Paison.
Paezon,
who was pouring alcohol into the dark king’s empty cup without saying anything, looked at the dark king and asked.
“How was it?”
There was no need to ask what to ask.
Because the conversations to be shared had already been decided.
Pajon was asking about the past time between Guyangchun and the Dark King.
Upon hearing the question, the Dark King swallowed a sip of alcohol and gave the answer to Pajon.
“He was a strange guy.”
“Ohh?”
At the Dark King’s answer, Paison’s eyes tightened.
It was a response that was rarely seen from the dark king who only said good or bad.
“Is it strange?”
“He’s a strangely calm guy.”
The King of Darkness immediately recalls Guyangcheon.
Pajon probably didn’t know, but Gu Yangchun was a young man who was already interested in being a dark king.
Do you have a talent that will go down in history?
It’s not a story of much interest to the dark king.
Why is the king of cancer interested in Guyangcheon? It’s the same as you, but it has something different.
It was because he might have a clue to solve the love story curse that was entangled in him.
More than anything.
‘Taecheon is interested.’
He was convinced that the being that the dark king was chasing so much was interested in Guyangcheon.
And that’s not all.
Now, the reason why the dark king told Paezon that Guyangchun was a strange person was no different.
‘It doesn’t change at all.’
By the time he died three times at his own hands.
The action taken by Guyangchen was, surprisingly, an attempt to capture the dark king.
It could have been so far.
It was said that training would end the moment the Dark King was captured, so it must have been because of that.
one.
‘I tried to the end.’
Until the end of the training with the rising of the sun, Guyangcheon constantly tried to capture the dark king.
if that’s what the problem is.
while dying close to ten times.
From the beginning to the end, Gu Yang-cheon was not afraid of death at all.
The Dark King could feel it.
Goo Yangcheon tried to figure out the presence of the dark king somehow.
It was just repeated attempts to hold on to it, and there was no sign of fear or exhaustion.
Any normal person would be frightened or beg for help in such a situation.
They say that no matter how much you die, even if you die, you will come back to life.
Gu Yangchun’s attitude was a part that could not be taken lightly.
Even the dark king who is called the king of murder.
It was strange.
It is said that the line that can withstand is high because it is unmanned.
Guyangcheon feels a little different from him.
There is no wavering about death and suffering. to such an unusual degree.
‘and.’
The gaze of the dark king, who was thinking of Guyangcheon, turned to Paison.
“You must have already known, right?”
“hmm?”
Pazon looked at the dark king as if he meant something.
The Dark King was already convinced.
That means that Pajon already knew everything about Guyangchun’s ideals.
‘Did he ask me because he knew that?’
Did Pazon really know that my student was in such a state, so he decided that he could do this kind of training?
Hello, if that’s the case.
‘You’re still nasty.’
As far as accomplishing military feats, he knew that even the defeated zone did not belong to the normal category.
A master who leaves his pupil in the hands of the Dark King and takes this cruel training method from the beginning.
As a result, instead of arguing, the disciple endures calmly and seeks a breakthrough.
In the eyes of the Dark King, both were eccentric figures.
Thinking so, the dark king turned his gaze away from Faejon and looked at the cup.
‘Does not matter.’
Whatever the circumstances of the two, the Dark King didn’t care.
Just as they had their goals, the Dark King had to achieve his goals as well.
This was no different from doing something just because I was asked to do so.
The Dark King recalled that point and spoke to Paison.
“Just don’t forget about the request.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget that.”
As if Pajon got tired of it, he gave the dark king an answer and then got up.
The amount of alcohol was not much, and since he had been watching the situation all night, he had to go to practice as well.
“Oh.”
Just before leaving, Pazon looks at the Dark King and asks him what to say.
“How long do you think it will take? Until the child makes it.”
“…”
The dark king looked at him with a strange look in his eyes at Paison’s question.
How long do you think it will take for Guyangcheon’s hand to reach the Dark King?
When asked about this, the Dark King seemed to be thinking about it for a while.
“It’s impossible in the current situation.”
Respond in a very firm voice.
“You’re determined.”
“It would be quicker to find another way.”
I don’t know if it’s too early to judge by just one day.
In the way of Guyangcheon, even if you die and wake up, you will not be able to reach the dark king.
I don’t know why Pazon prepared this kind of training. At least that’s how it seemed to the Dark King.
Despite the King of Hana’s resolute denial, Paejon just grinned.
The Dark King didn’t like the smile of the Paison.
To the extent that the eyebrows of the Dark King, who is said to be at the height of his expressionless expression, are slightly furrowed.
Usually, when Pazon smiles like that, there must be an unexpected accident.
“Leave it like that. I wish you well in the future.”
“…”
The Dark King soon disappeared, ignoring Paejon’s words.
Pazon, who confirmed that, also moved on.
I thought as I walked.
‘It’s impossible.’
The King of Darkness said that it was impossible for Guyangcheon to reach him. Pazon thought a little differently.
‘I don’t think it’s like that.’
I haven’t seen him for very long, but he’s always shown more than he expected.
Will it be different this time? Pazon had such expectations.
******************
The time is from morning to noon.
It was when he was training after a rough breakfast in the morning just before the wagon set off again.
Tiredness didn’t go away from fucking all night, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t take a break from training.
thud.
In the meantime, I decided to take a break after hearing the news that Pae Woo-cheol was approaching.
I put down the huge rock I was holding and asked Woochul Pae.
“Who said you came?”
“It is said that Moyongse arrived from the other side.”
“Ah, is it finally here?”
Hearing that, he nodded.
It must have arrived from Mo Yong-hee’s side.
I thought you would join me in a few days. Did it arrive in just one day?
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, so I want to go see it first.
“Keep it off…”
I see Cheol Ji-seon lying on the floor exhaling exhaustedly.
Pae Woo-cheol, who was watching this, asked me to say something with strange eyes.
“That… Jiseon hyung-nim, what happened…”
“I just thought I’d give him some training because he looked so insignificant, but he’s like that. It’s because the tsk tsk boy is so insincere.”
“Ah yes…”
“If you were going to train, were you doing it here? I can do it with him.”
At my words, Pawoochul looks somewhere. At that place.
Whoop-! Whoop!
There was Woo-hyeok, who was holding a rock that was slightly smaller than the one I was holding and moving nonstop.
Even though she is sweating profusely, she moves steadily as if there is no rest.
Even that look was cool because of his handsome face.
I’m like a sweaty mouse. The world isn’t fair anyway.
Even in training hard, there was nothing particularly lacking except for the fact that the master ate a lot of meat and the damned personality. Ah, the first two are huge drawbacks.
But since he said he has a fiancee anyway, I guess it doesn’t matter.
Even if you find something to put on it, if that guy’s appearance is dizzy, he will block it. I really grossly didn’t like it.
“To rot.”
“yes?”
“I didn’t do it to you. so. Can I go now?”
“Ah yes… but that…”
Woochul Pae said to me with a look on his face, wondering if he had anything more to say.
“Looks like another person has arrived, besides Moyong Sojeo.”
“A minute? who?”
I tilted my head at Pawoochul’s words.
Who else came besides Mo Yong-hee?
Judging from Pae Woo-cheol’s way of speaking, the attendant seemed to be off the hook.
‘No, no matter how scolded that man is… he won’t come this far.’
One generation judged that there was no way that the head of the family, also called a famous family, would have followed his daughter to this point.
Of course, given the man’s personality, I’m not sure.
Looking at Pae Woo-chul with such a slightly worried expression.
Pawoochul told me about the identity of my companion.
Oh, fortunately, it wasn’t the Baekcheon Sword Master.
He was just more unexpected than that.
“Senior White Lotus Sword has arrived.”
“huh…?”
I had to put on a dumbfounded expression at the unexpected name that came out of Pawoochul’s mouth.
…Why is that lady’s nickname here?
