Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 413
Smoke rises in the dark forest.
The smoke rising to the fullest is mixed with a burnt smell that stings the nose.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh! Aaaah!”
The nameless man repeatedly screamed as much as he could. It was because the flames that were all over my body were burning and eating my flesh.
“Please…Jebaaal!”
I apologize to the person who grabbed my neck for what is so urgent, but the other person only looks at the man with the same eyes as the first time.
Unlike his expressionless face, his eyes are colored red like burning flames.
The moonlight shines softly, revealing the dirt floor that had been covered by shadows.
The hidden floor is unusually dark in color.
It was because it was soaked in blood.
“…Kure…flow…ugh.”
The man caught in the flames screams as hard as he can and then gradually becomes quiet.
It was finally dead.
“…”
Took.
The young man who watched it quietly released the man’s body.
The breathless man falls to the floor helplessly.
The flame that clung to the man like a ghost disappeared.
“Huh….”
The person watching it covered his mouth with his hand. The leader who led the group died.
The captain is a great person who is said to have reached the pinnacle even though he has passed through hardships.
Chae-joo was also a power that he acknowledged in his own way, but to be killed helplessly by a young man who seemed to have reached the agreement at
the very least…
The man who kept his mouth shut couldn’t understand what had just happened.
The same was true of the corpses lying behind the dead captain.
The first one caught was reduced to ashes without being able to know its shape.
Others were killed instantly with their necks snapped.
The captain just now was no different.
‘Monster… that’s a monster.’
The man backed away little by little with a trembling body, but
had to stop moving when he faced a wooden pole blocking his back.
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…”
The mind was already weighed down by the fear of death.
Are you dying? Are you going to die like this?
A feeling of dread rises and tears flow through it.
I couldn’t even run away.
Because his leg was already in the hands of that monster.
far away.
The crouching monster moves.
Fire-! The monster’s body was still clinging to the flames.
The man facing the flame had only one impression.
‘Cruel.’
It is far from the sanctity and warmth of hwagong.
I don’t feel anything.
That’s why I was rather afraid.
How come nothing is contained in the flame?
no nothing
‘…to live.’
The flames were like lumps of life.
Could it be that the reason why I can’t feel anything from that monster is that everything is contained in the flames he spits out?
How much life do you have to have to be able to do that?
‘flame…? If it’s a flame.’
At that time, a rumor flashes through the man’s head.
He is currently the most famous person in the central plain as a painter.
An unmanned man called a young hero who will lead the present era.
It is said that the young man who was given a new nickname because he prevented the attack of the large horse head and punished the Sapa people without mercy ended up using fire.
That nickname is right.
“Anti-inflammation…”
Kwadeudeuk-!
“…!”
The man was about to scream at the sudden outburst of pain, but the young man approached before he knew it and covered his mouth with his hand.
I don’t know when it happened.
All five fingers twisted in strange directions.
“Turn it off…up…!”
“If you accidentally spit that fucking word one more time, I’ll rip your whole arm out the next time. Even if you scream, you pull it out. I’ll take my hand off in three seconds. you have to be quiet Understand?”
At the young man’s nonchalant words, the man nodded his head.
There was no way to refuse in the first place.
The young man quietly removed his hand.
Then the man had to remain silent, enduring the rising pain.
Red-stained eyes look down at the man.
Before long, she got down on one knee and met the man’s gaze.
“What is your purpose?”
He asks the same questions as he did to those he tortured earlier.
At that, the man spat out the words in a voice that trembled with fear.
“…this…already…already heard.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes…yes.”
The story of this had already been spit out by the one who had been caught in the first place.
To receive orders, follow our convoy, and figure out its route.
Even after hearing that, the young man… No.
‘Soyeomra…’
The man gritted his teeth, recalling the identity of the young man.
He said he became more brutal than anyone else to punish Sapphire. That seems to be true.
‘I didn’t believe him because he was young at best…!’
The truth of the rumor was even more frightening.
How the hell can you be so cruel? It was too scary and bizarre to be called Jeong Fine.
The form of torture that was shown right in front of me is enough to make me pee in fear just by looking at it.
He seemed to use his flame better than anyone else in torture.
Does that mean that the person called the future of the political faction is right?
As the man is looking at Soyeomra with trembling eyes, Soyeomra continues talking while looking at the man with an expressionless face.
“Seven in total. Among them, one is second-class, and five are first-class. And the peak was one person.”
“…!”
At the words that seem to have grasped all the stages of the group, the man vomits inwardly.
because I was right
The captain was an unmanned man at his peak.
Those who remained were first-class themselves second-class fighters.
“It’s a superior level for mere bandits. What are you?”
“…Huh…Huh…”
“What’s the purpose? huh?”
“I don’t know that far…”
Chiiik-!
“Kreukreukreuk…!”
He grabs one twisted finger and burns it with flames.
The dizzying pain made the man tremble in pain.
After burning like that for a while, I ask again.
“Answer again.”
“I don’t… I don’t know… I don’t know. Please… please…”
“Okay. Then let’s ask something else. Dangdeok is the name of your highest rank, right?”
“Sigh…!?”
The moment Chaeju’s name came out of Soyeomra’s mouth. The man’s body trembles.
‘how…?’
How does Soyeomra know the name of Chaeju?
By the time you reach Jungwon, you are only called by your nickname, but no one knows your real name.
Is it because he checked the reaction of the company? The corner of the mouth of the soyeomra goes up.
The sight was so horrifying.
How can a person laugh so terribly?
“Right. That little tail is right.”
“…what the hell…”
“Why? Why do you want to crawl out and do useless things when it’s not enough to be quiet?”
“…Are you acquainted with Chae-joo?”
“Do you know me?”
Soyeomra smiled at the man’s question and said.
“We know each other, but we’re close enough to make our eyes pop.”
“…”
No matter how you look at it, it was absolutely not a good relationship.
The man’s plan to survive using personal connections is shattered.
The man still endures the pain and still rolls his eyes.
I was full of doubts.
information was known.
It means that the Gu Family’s So-Yeomra is also located on the Tang Gate’s carriage.
However, no matter how outstanding it is, it is said that it is rumored to be a person.
I was judging that the existence wouldn’t be as threatening as a poisonous king or the head of a clan.
‘How…’
I recalled the marble the captain had.
A demonic object that removes the presence of its owner and its surroundings.
The explanation is said to be difficult to understand unless you get close to it, even if you are a Dokwang level master.
‘…How did you find this guy?’
What is a So-Yeom who pierced through such a ghost and dug around casually?
Could it be that he is stronger than the Poison King?
It won’t be.
No matter how much genius of the century, it was a story that was unreasonable.
So you’re saying there was another way?
“I can hear the rolling of my eyes from here.”
“…!”
Kwadeuk-!
“Turn it off!?”
One more finger is bent.
It was much more painful because it was already a twisted finger.
“Uh…why?”
“Oh sorry, it’s a habit. It’s a habit to talk while breaking down. It’s not easy trying to kill it.”
It wasn’t something to talk about with a smile.
Do you have a habit of taking torture?
‘This bastard…is he really Jeong Fine?’
Only doubts deepen in the man’s mind.
“Is it because the mass of bandits are strangely strong enough to be like this?”
“…”
“Ah, it’s not a question, so you don’t have to answer.”
The man’s back gradually begins to get wet at Soyeomra’s words.
The voice was a little high, as if it hadn’t gone through the transformer.
It was a much softer atmosphere than the moment we first met.
The man knew intuitively.
That there was life in that voice.
“The truth is. I didn’t care too much about what you said. If I say it anyway, it’s obvious.”
I mean, I was thinking of killing them all.
Then why…? Why did it take this form of torture?
“I had to pick some humans. Someone who is timid, has a bit of a head, and listens well.”
“…that is.”
“Do you want to live?”
At Soyeomra’s words, the man shuts his mouth.
do you want to live Of course I wanted to live.
It’s just that the existence of the sophomore asking for that word is putting anxiety on him.
“Don’t ask me twice. Answer me.”
“I want to live… live… live.”
However, he couldn’t die from anxiety, so the man had to answer.
Hearing the answer, Soyeomra nodded as if he liked it.
“Oh, this is a personal question. How many people have you saved who told you that?”
“…!”
“I’m glad it’s quiet. That answer is enough. It will make you feel at ease.”
He had never saved anyone’s life, so he wondered if he was going to kill him like this.
So-Yeom-ra said so and took no action.
what? Are you thinking of going this way?
Recalling that point gave me a sense of relief, but then there was a problem.
‘Is this really… alive?’
His ankles were broken and he became a body that could no longer walk.
One hand had all the fingers broken.
I don’t know about the hands, but no one can fix the feet.
Living is not living.
By the time relief starts to turn into despair.
So-Yeomra grabs the man’s neck.
what? Didn’t say he would spare me…
“I’ll tell you in advance, but be patient. Because I don’t know how to be kind and gentle like the Heavenly Demon.”
“Heavenly Demon? What do you mean? Boo will definitely save you…!”
“I will save you. That way I can work, but I have to save him.”
After saying that, the man was able to see.
For some reason, the eyes of the small flame, which had been dyed red, began to turn purple.
Its color is exceptionally beautiful and will take your eyes off of it for a moment.
Even in such a distant and terrifying situation.
Looking at him quietly as if enchanted by his eyes.
Soyeom says to the man.
“What is your name?”
“Jul… It’s called Julbok.”
“Julbok, yes. There is only one thing for you to do. To go back to Dangdeok with that slow step and deliver my words. That is your job.”
The moment the man thought of what that meant.
wriggling
“…!”
The man felt something digging into his danteon.
An unknown energy that penetrated very little. that.
Whoops-!
“Cheuk!!?”
In an instant, the range increased, and then it became the whole of Danjeon.
Is that all?
The energy escaped immediately after taking control of all of Danjeon and penetrated into Julbok’s heart.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.!”
The pain from the process was indescribable.
It was more than any pain Julbok had ever felt in his entire life.
Contrary to what Soyeomra said he would spare him, is it his intention to torture and kill him?
Julbok thought so.
If not, what is the identity of this pain?
‘I don’t want to die….’
Desperation for life is added.
Julbok wanted to live.
And that.
This is the feeling Gu Yangchun longed for.
That’s what being a demon is like.
Whether the purpose is revenge or a survival desire to live.
Something had to be done desperately.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to endure this magical transformation.
Of course, if he had been the Heavenly Demon in his previous life, he would have done it in a better way.
Gu Yangchen had no intention of taking that approach.
You can’t even take it in the first place.
Starting with Namgung Cheonjun, this is the second time.
That alone made me realize right away.
The fact that the opponent was made into a demon without causing pain was because, on the contrary, the Heavenly Demon had an absurd level of control.
I don’t know how the Heavenly Demon made that choice, but Gu Yangchun had no intention of doing that.
‘I don’t need that for these guys.’
There is no mercy for those who will block the way to leave the good and the bad.
decided so
Speaking of Green King, he was one of the most vicious demons in his previous life.
The same goes for his subordinates.
Killing civilians and playing with them, of course. There were not one or two evil deeds done in the name of Mine.
When you see the reaction from before. You can see that this guy is no different from those pups.
In this part, Gu Yangchun did not intend to blame too much.
Because he was a demon himself, and there were many people he killed with his own hands on the pretext of war.
This is nothing more than a venting of anger disguised as atonement. I had no intention of making excuses.
A moment of time passes and a change occurs to the man who was called Julbok.
There didn’t seem to be a big difference in appearance, but Gu Yangchun could tell.
That the demonic energy was properly attached to his short circuit and heart.
Julbok became a demon at the hands of Guyangcheon. Seeing this, Gu Yangchen narrowed his eyes.
‘It’s a second-rate level, so it’s barely lasted.’
Unless it was at a certain level, he would have been blown up without being able to handle the magic.
From the beginning, I noticed Julbok’s desire to survive and his suitable state.
That’s why I chose this guy from the beginning.
When you reach the climax in the first class, there is a limit to control with demonic energy.
At best, it would be to put a ban on speech or to prevent betrayal.
Not to mention the hwagyeong.
In that respect, Julbok was just right.
It means that Guyangcheon is just the right level to handle.
Julbok looks at Gu Yangcheon with surprised eyes, as if he immediately recognized his changed body.
It seemed that he was feeling the difference in his body, which had become a demon.
The broken leg moves.
It wasn’t completely fixed.
It was barely holding together the bones where demonic spirits were at a loss.
Seeing that, Gu Yangchun stood up. The grave expression and the inside were quite surprised.
‘Was something like that possible?’
I knew that it was possible if it was the magic of the Heavenly Demon.
He knew now that his Magi was also capable of such things.
Is it possible because the person named Julbok has a low level? Shouldn’t it be impossible if it’s rather low?
I felt like I needed to look into this a bit more.
For now, this was enough.
Because the current purpose was not to fix other people’s bodies with demonic magic.
After getting up, he looked at the man and said.
“You have only one job to do.”
Julbok looks at Guyangcheon with trembling eyes.
His eyes were filled with fear and awe.
I can not know.
How can the eyes of those who have received demonic energy and become demons go numb?
At least he didn’t look at the Heavenly Demon that way.
I didn’t know and I wasn’t interested.
he doesn’t care about that
He only looked at the comfort of those around him, including himself.
Gu Yangcheon met Julbok’s eyes and continued talking.
“Tell Dang Deok that I said this.”
This was the choice for that.
Julbok listened attentively to what was being said.
Julbok did this.
“…Don’t do anything stupid and show up yourself… Are you a failure?”
He told Dangdeok the same thing.
Cood de deudeuk-!
The heavy stone chair collapsed in an instant with the clenched fist.
In addition, the surroundings began to tremble at the formidable bet revealed by the person sitting in the chair.
A giant man with dark green hair.
Chaeju Dangdeok, the owner of the bandits gathered at Gwimun Mountain, repeats the words of the guy in front of him.
“That clot of blood told me to tell you that.”
“…Yes…Yes Chaeju.”
Dangdeok looked at the guy who was conveying the words.
Did you say it was a jumpsuit?
He said he was a subordinate of the heartthrob who reached his peak last year.
Dangdeok’s eyebrows are full of twists as he recalls the heartbeat.
I sent it at most to see the route of that worm-like bastard.
‘Everyone died and only this guy came back alive?’
Ha-
Did you even say that the ghost you sent was lost?
Dang-deok only laughs at a somewhat absurd situation.
kudeudeuk.
Right after I let out a little laugh.
Dangde stood up clutching a spear larger than his giant that lay beside him.
“…even provoking someone who knows my name.”
Did you say soyeomra?
He’s a really fun guy.
Dangdeok smiled as he looked at the Julbok.
As he smiled, the other bandits around him flinched and shuddered.
“Julbok.”
“Yes… Chaeju.”
“It’s all good.”
still have doubts
“Why did you come back alive?”
“…Chaeju…?”
At Dangdeok’s words, Julbok’s eyes fluttered.
“If your brother died because he couldn’t fulfill his duty there, you should have died too. You bastard.”
“Chaeju…! sleep…!”
“But you come back with a shameless life? Your face is once thick.”
Growling, Dangdeok grabs Julbok by the neck and lifts him up.
Although Julbok was not a small body, he looked infinitely smaller compared to the giant Dangdeok.
“You insignificant bastard… I don’t need a worthless bastard anymore.”
“Save me… please save me, Chae-joo! please please!”
As if Julbok had lost his mind, he kept repeating the words of asking for help.
Dangdeok gave strength without hesitation even when he saw the scream.
“Go and bow to your brothers. damn bastard.”
Wooddeuk-!
With a bloody sound, Julbok’s neck snapped and he died.
It was then.
yes-!
“…hmm?”
A change comes to the body of Julbok that Dangdeok is holding. It was a vibration.
He must have died, judging by the lack of life in his eyes.
What is this?
“What is this…”
The moment Dangdeok wondered.
Pan-!
The sound of something exploding came from Julbok’s body. An enormous amount of blood gushed out of Julbok’s mouth and soaked Dangdeok’s body.
“…”
Dangdeok covered in blood in an instant. Others who saw it urgently handed over something to wipe.
Dang De just wiped my face with his huge hand.
Then I thought.
Suddenly, the dead Julbok poured out blood.
I don’t know how it happened, but at least Dangdeok seemed to know at least one thing.
That this is a provocation by the guy who sent the Julbok.
Kuk-kuk….
Dang-deok starts to laugh loudly as he wipes off the blood.
Ha ha ha ha ha-!
Dangdeok, who had been laughing so hard that the room rang for a while, said with a tear-stained laugh.
“Did you say sophomore?”
The guy who sent it to himself in a jumpsuit. Did that bloody bastard dare to look at himself and ask him to come see for himself?
Dangdeok remembered that and moved on.
The soaked blood seems to have no intention of wiping it any further.
‘If it was original, I would have moved a little more cautiously.’
There was nothing I could do about it if I had been provoked like this.
Tang De laughed and whispered quietly.
“Get your tools.”
Starting from that word, the others who were waiting spread speculation in an instant.
Among them, the most obvious killing and envying was, of course, Dang-deok’s.
*****************
In the midst of eating, I raised my head at a sudden feeling.
“ah.”
“Why are you like that?”
Wi Seol-ah puts side dishes on top of my rice, and tilts her head after seeing the reaction.
Looking at that, he shook his head slightly and ate a handful of rice.
“Nothing.”
In response to my reaction, Bia Namgung and Mo Yonghee gave strange expressions, as if they felt something.
I had no intention of answering this.
I just clicked my tongue a few times inside.
Tsk tsk.
‘I was going to save him as promised.’
There was only one reason for such a reaction.
It was because he realized that the guy named Julbok had finally died.
This is due to the activation of the ban placed on him.
The ban placed on Julbok was not only to convey words to Dangdeok.
If it is likely that he will be killed at the hands of Dang Deok, he has placed an order so that it will be activated.
To make your heart burst and vomit blood.
Looking at this, it seems that Julbok was killed at the hands of Dangdeok.
I didn’t kill it with my own hands.
I just knew that Dangdeok would kill his subordinates like this.
‘I must have been very angry.’
If you think of Dang Deok’s fiery personality, he must have been very angry.
‘The ground rice is all laid out.’
Even if Dangdeok did not come in person as expected, he could have entered the starting point of the plan.
It was just waiting for a while.
“Do you want some water…?”
“huh.”
I looked around while drinking the water Namgoongbia poured out.
It was a forest that was no different from me when, but the change was sufficient.
‘Is this the realm of Sichuan now?’
It’s time to leave the road and it’ll be summer soon.
At some point, they entered the realm of Sacheon, their destination.
