Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 415
If it’s a nightmare, you have to wake up first.
Wisulah’s words lingered in my head.
‘…I have to wake up.’
Isn’t the realization early like a thunderbolt in my head?
Instinctively, I knew I had to get something out of these words.
Wiseol-ah is also tilting her head as if she sensed that my expression was unusual.
While repeating the trouble to find something in Wi Seol-ah’s words.
‘ah?’
In an instant, something flashes through my mind.
It wasn’t that groundbreaking.
There was just a method I hadn’t tried all month.
For some reason, it came to mind in line with Wiseolah’s words.
“…then why didn’t you try that?”
“yes?”
Wiseol-ah reacts to my words as if asking what I’m talking about, but I don’t answer and start stroking Wiseol-ah’s hair.
“Gongja-nim…?”
“thank you. Thanks to you, my hair has grown a little more.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Then it’s a compliment, of course.”
The world can only survive if you have good hair.
In that respect, Wiseolah’s words would be of considerable help.
but.
‘Will that work?’
Whether or not the method I came up with will work for the dark king is just a question.
In this case, the solution is simple.
‘Don’t do it if it doesn’t work.’
If it doesn’t work, find another way.
That was all.
******************
The night has come.
In the middle of a forest, darkly set under a thinly curved crescent moon.
A man was standing with his hands behind his back.
He was a person with a strange atmosphere so that only the surroundings of the man could be mistaken for being quiet.
The man had gray hair that would make you admire just by looking at it.
Ironically, for some reason, it feels like it fits so well with the darkness.
Gradually, a change began to occur in the man who stood motionless as if he had become a stone statue.
Starting from his toes, the shadow gradually began to widen.
Pass SSS-!
It is an unknown ominous aura.
The aura that had begun to spread covered the fields and wrapped around the trees, making it dark everywhere.
and not long after
Even the shallow light the crescent moon created was eaten up. A deep darkness has arrived.
In the darkness created, the male dark king looked straight ahead with his characteristic white eyes shining.
Sabak- I hear heavy steps from the front.
It was the footsteps of the person the Dark King had been waiting for.
also. Over the past month, the dark king was the person he had met most often.
The dark king moved his eyebrows slightly as he watched the young man approaching from a distance.
‘He came today too.’
It’s been over a month now.
This time had a significant meaning for the Dark King.
First of all, the dark king had to change his mind that he expected the young man to last for seven days or nights at best.
‘I have to admit this part.’
Nod.
That young man suffered numerous deaths every night at the hands of the Dark King.
The number of deaths was over twenty on average, and if it was an ordinary person, it would have been more than three days before his mind was divided.
The young man’s expression that the Dark King sees is only a little tired.
It didn’t look much different from the first.
Even he had to admit this.
Even though it was a painless death that did not involve torture.
The level that the young man was enduring had already exceeded the limit.
That is why the Dark King continues to express doubts.
How can that child maintain such a spirit when a human being cannot maintain peace even after suffering so many deaths?
In the eyes of the Dark King, this case was one of two.
The one is.
‘The mind is already broken and collapsed.’
If it’s twisted somewhere and you’re no longer a normal mind.
There was a possibility, but in the eyes of the dark king, that young man was not at that level.
Then one thing left.
If it’s beyond what an ordinary human being can endure.
‘In the first place, if you’re not human.’
Remembering this, the Dark King nodded.
Because that’s what I think is the biggest case.
It was from the first meeting.
Looking at the young man, the dark king’s heart would beat like crazy.
thump-thump-.
Even now.
This is the curse woven into the blood and heart of the Dark King, resonating arbitrarily.
That young man is just like you.
so.
Go ahead and kill me right now.
It continues to radiate death.
The dark king suppressed his instincts and sent him to a corner.
The Dark King had no intention of killing the young man.
The young man might have a clue to release the ‘curse’ tied to him.
He shouldn’t have been killed because he was in a similar state to himself.
The dark king who hid his existence looked at the young man.
Whether the young man is not human in the eyes of the dark king or has something else.
It doesn’t matter now.
An important thing is.
‘It’s pointless.’
It’s just that now is not a very useful time.
‘Is he unaware of this?’
The Dark King frowned as he remembered the Faejon who asked for such training.
The young man faced repeated deaths in the ‘territory’ of the Dark King.
From the point of view of the Dark King, this was really nothing but dog death.
Because I still couldn’t even brush the dark king’s collar.
It has to be.
This darkness itself is the realm ruled by the dark king, and those who set foot in the realm dull their five senses and find it difficult to draw out the power they possess.
If there is only one thing that increases.
Unlike the five senses that become dull, the amount of pain felt increases.
In the first place, this power was used by the Dark King for torture.
So that would be even more outrageous.
Pazon knows all of this. Because I asked the dark king for Ji’s disciple and threw him into this situation.
That young man who had to do it again for over a month without exception was not normal either.
Even though he is a dark king with no disciples, you can see that the relationship between the teacher and the teacher is bizarre.
one.
That’s it.
The Dark King did not worry about the relationship between Paejon and the young man any longer.
He was only doing what he was asked to do.
Because of this, it was enough to accept the request from Pazon.
together.
In the first place, Amwang didn’t expect that young man, or Gu Yangchun, to be able to overcome this ordeal.
The conclusions drawn over the past month are not different from the first.
It’s not like only the Dark King knows that fact. What you know better than anyone else is none other than that.
‘It must be that little boy.’
It must be Gu Yang-chun, who is experiencing this situation himself.
I don’t think my mind is broken. The slightly tired look on his face is proof of that.
Seeing Guyangchun’s expression, the king of darkness grabbed the dagger.
How much longer can I last?
Even what came so far was beyond the expectations of the Dark King.
As the King of Darkness was convinced, there was not much mental strength left in Guyangcheon.
Seven weeks at most.
As long as there is nothing special, something will happen within it.
If that happens, the loser will also realize it and find another way.
No matter how crazy he is in martial arts, he cannot wait to see the person who will fulfill his will be destroyed.
While thinking so, when the Dark King tried to move his body.
‘hmm.’
Amwang suddenly had to feel a change in Guyangchun.
It seemed that Yangcheon appeared as usual, but it was because he was holding something in his hand.
The dark king’s eyes narrowed after confirming that.
‘dagger?’
It was because what Yangcheon was holding was a dagger.
Judging by the appearance and quality, it seems to be a product of our family.
It was probably borrowed from the daughter of the bloody king of poison.
‘Dandora.’
What the hell did you bring the dagger for?
A question arises in the dark king.
In the past, Guyangcheon used quite a lot of methods to reach the dark king.
I thought it wouldn’t work with hand-to-hand combat, so I tried to light up the surroundings with martial arts that didn’t unfold properly.
He tried to burn the dark king by spitting out flames around him.
What was the most impressive of them all?
It was when he tried to grab the dark king in the blink of an eye with a dagger stuck in his neck.
The dark king recalled that was the most dangerous moment.
The dagger that went right into the neck was enough to cause instant death, but Guyangcheon only tried to catch the dark king by delaying the time when his breath was cut off with only mental power.
The Dark King was able to realize it only then.
It means that the eccentric bastard of Bijou really accepted a fellow like himself as a disciple.
It was clear that they were masters, disciples, or strange people.
Even if they are twisted, they are twisted for a long time.
The king of cancer looked at Guyangcheon and sent a strange gaze.
‘Are you going to try something again while facing that situation?’
It looks like he intends to do something with that dagger.
‘I’ll admit that guts.’
Even after coming here, the image of him trying to do something more made even the dark king stick out his tongue.
Of course, unlike grit, the result won’t change.
Unless you learn the secrets of this realm, Guyangcheon will not be able to escape.
By the time he was watching Gu Yang-chun’s actions while thinking that way.
Grabbing the dagger, Yangchun Gu turned the blade toward himself instead of outward.
But the moment I wanted to do something with that.
“…!”
Yangchun Gu suddenly stretched out his dagger toward his neck.
After confirming that, the dark king’s body was shot out.
There was no time to be surprised or worried.
The King of Darkness dug into Guyangcheon in an instant.
Just before the tip of the dagger touches the tip of Guyangcheon’s neck.
closely-!
Grabbing Gu Yangchen’s wrist, he stopped the action.
at that time.
Knock-!
Guyangcheon’s other hand grabbed the dark king’s wrist.
It happened in such a fleeting moment.
The king of amnesia had to express his amazement as he looked at Guyangcheon with his wide open eyes.
Goo Yangchun smiled as hard as he could and looked at the dark king who appeared and said,
“I got it.”
“…under.”
A voice that reveals all the emotions that make it so enjoyable.
The Dark King had to let out a broken breath.
It was absurd.
“…How did know?”
This is what the king of cancer asked while looking at Guyangcheon.
Hearing the question, Yangchun Gu tilted his head and asked again.
“What do you mean?”
“This way. How did know?”
The Dark King was really curious.
In this realm, if you die in a way other than the hands of the Dark King, you will not be able to come back to life.
It is a story about dying.
Looking at that, if Gu Yangchun had died just now, he would not have been able to wake up again.
The King of Darkness knew that Guyangchun should not die, so he just appeared in person to prevent the same situation.
In other words, Gu Yang-cheon, who knew that, chose this method to attract the dark king.
That if you choose to die yourself, you really die.
Conversely, that the Dark King would appear to prevent that death.
Gu Yang-chun said that he knew.
How did you know?
No matter how much the Dark King thought, he couldn’t figure it out.
Regarding this, Gu Yang-cheon looks at the king of darkness and gives an answer casually.
“I didn’t know.”
“what?”
The dark king frowned at that answer. You didn’t know…?
“How do I know that? I didn’t learn mind reading.”
“Why would you do that?”
When asked by the King of Darkness, Yangchun Gu answered with an expression as if asking why such an obvious question was asked.
“I just did it. what.”
“what…?”
…just tried it?
Looking at the dark king, who still seems not to understand, Yangchun Gu continues to speak.
“I’ve been thinking of waking up from a nightmare.”
The Dark King listened to the story about the nightmare that suddenly came out.
“First of all, the first thing you have to do is try to break it, right?”
“What does that have to do with this?”
“No, it’s nothing. Come to think of it, I didn’t really try to wake up from my dream. So I did the easiest thing. If you do this in your dream, you usually wake up.”
“…”
Guyangcheon’s calm words made the king of cancer finally lose his words.
Did you mean that you wanted to commit suicide just for that reason?
I don’t know what the situation is, and I don’t know what will happen if I die myself.
Just for that reason?
After hearing that far, the Dark King was convinced.
“…You’re crazy.”
He was a madman indeed.
“I know what would happen if I didn’t stop it.”
“If you don’t stop, you will survive. Then we have to find another way.”
Hearing that, the Dark King couldn’t help but mention the problem.
“Little boy, there were times when you would die as I did.”
“Then I thought you would come to stop me like this.”
“why me? Why did you think I would prevent your death?”
Though the above thought is something that anyone can do.
Absolutely, it was a different story for the dark king to know how to prevent his own death and carry out the work.
Why are you so sure?
That was the biggest question of the Dark King.
Hearing this, Guyangcheon suddenly exclaimed in admiration.
“Oh, I didn’t think of that.”
“What…”
“Honestly, it just seemed like that.”
“…”
“It’s a persimmon. What.”
In response to Guyangcheon’s answer, the king of darkness had to give up thinking.
‘I thought that a bastard like Biju wouldn’t appear again.’
That bastard’s disciple was worse than his master.
I never thought I’d try to destroy it this way.
“Ha…”
The Dark King had to wipe his face for the first time in ten years.
Whatever it was, it didn’t change that Gu Yangchun had reached him.
In the dark king’s head, the expression of Paison confirming this result is expected.
It was obvious that I was going to laugh as if I was in good shape, so I felt annoyed.
at that time.
Fire.
He must have suddenly felt the heat.
I didn’t have to check where the heat was coming from.
Because the only people in this space were the man and Gu Yang-chun.
The dark king looked at the owner of the heat with a slightly cool gaze and asked.
“What is this doing?”
Goo Yangchun continues to speak, steadily raising his heat despite the words of the King of Darkness.
The eyes that turned red and the heat that blooms subtly are unusual.
What the hell are you going to do when it’s all over?
Amwan did not look stupid enough to fight Gu Yangchun with him, so he just watched for the first time.
“Every time I tried to do something, there was something I couldn’t do because I died.”
“In this situation?”
“yes.”
For a guy who had died countless times the day before, his expression looked rather bright.
Would you say you look a little excited?
What the hell is this guy
Is it possible to recover like that just by doing it?
I looked and looked, but I couldn’t understand.
“I wonder if this is really an unbreakable camp.”
“…”
“Just a little curiosity.”
The King of Darkness gave no answer to Guyangcheon’s words.
It’s because it wasn’t something that could be called ‘true law’ in the first place.
It is not a part of martial arts that martial arts can do or the boundary of truth that Jinbeopsa spreads.
This was, to put it mildly, a realm of ‘authority’ created by a curse.
in a way
As the King of Darkness thought, when he and Gu Yang-chun were said to be of the same class, he did not know if he would be able to use Gu Yang-chun someday.
Anyway, the king of cancer didn’t feel the need to explain this.
It’s because it was a power that didn’t do anything good to know.
The Dark King just wanted to remain silent.
He did not specifically block or warn Gu Yang-chun about his eccentricities.
It was an agreement to do it if you were going to do it.
Looking at such a dark king, Guyangcheon uttered a small voice.
“Red River.”
That moment.
Severe heat began to spread out in all directions, riding on Yangchun’s body.
