Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 435

< Episode 435 > Regret.

Even while Dang Je-moon looked at me and made a mysterious expression.

My eyes were only on the Dokcheon Altar next to the white stone.

‘…how many of those are there?’

Even if you roughly count, there are more than ten.

If that amount is exaggerated, it is an amount that can be bought by small and medium-sized households.

Of course, it has to be so, and now it is a shrine of the past that cannot even be made.

In addition to the concentrated bets unique to the shrine, there was one more characteristic of the altar of poison.

that’s right

‘They said it would increase resistance to poison.’

By taking Naedan, resistance to poison is developed.

I’m not sure if this is a recorded fact.

It was written that way.

Just by eating it, you can gain tremendous strength, and it is said that it even makes you resistant to poison.

A legacy of the past that cannot be saved even with billions of dollars.

‘Poison altar…’

It was rolling around in front of my eyes.

It’s a test or something, but you can get it if you pass it.

‘Even if I get it, I won’t be able to use it right away.’

Since the vessel was in an unstable state, it was almost certain that if it absorbed as much energy as the poisonous altar, it would be destroyed.

‘Even if I can’t eat it, I can share it.’

There were a lot of people around to hold on to.

Even if that wasn’t the case, considering the value of the poison group, he had to use any means to obtain it.

This is a white stone… No, it is the same with the white horse.

Originally, it is characterized by losing energy and color within a few days after coming out of the body of a monster.

White magic stones are not like that.

Looking at it now, it hasn’t lost any of its color and light, and it’s still holding on to its energy

…

Looking at that, I’m guessing that’s probably the case.

I thought while looking at the white horse stone in the center and the altar of poison next to it.

‘Yeah fuck… This is a big note.’

When I saw that, it brought tears to my eyes.

[Huin…crying?]

“Yes…. Tears of joy. Please don’t mind.”

[Ah…yes.]

The remarks I’ve faced so far pass through my mind.

The first was the note of Geum Natural Gas.

The second one was probably Shinryonggwan’s remarks.

Both of them were really fucked up because they got a chance.

‘…it tastes good. This is a surprise.’

Is that a giyeon, and what is a giyeon?

A beggar-like gold naturalist.

Come to think of it, both of them were remarks of the day.

pup. Bad baby.

What if Ji is a regressor? It’s like trying to kill someone.

I’m cleaning out the shit they packed up.

In my heart, resentment toward the former returnees was building up.

I haven’t even said I’ll give it to you yet. I already feel like Dokcheondan is mine.

“Senior…”

[Yes.]

“Can I bow once more?”

[…Yes?]

Dang Je-mun puts on a slightly disgusted expression at my words.

Seeing that, I immediately nodded, saying I shouldn’t do it.

yeah this went a bit too far

“It was a joke.”

[Huin…. He resembles Shin-cheol in strange parts.]

“That really makes me feel bad…?”

Of course, even if they look alike, they say that they resemble the old Malco, which makes me very upset.

Tang Je-mun covered his mouth and laughed, as if my words were funny.

That woman is funny.

It looked cool, but it was unexpected. Did you see that? I decided to ask a question that was difficult to ask.

“That senior.”

[Yes.]

“That…it’s not that important. Why did you put that next to the poison altar?”

[?]

At my question, Dang Je-mun turns his head and looks at the white horse.

[Ah.]

Then they clapped their hands as if they had found it.

[I am proud. That came from the monster I caught. I was going to brag when I saw Shincheol.]

“…”

He said that to me in a slightly raised voice.

It was unexpectedly quite cute.

I thought it was there for a great reason.

To say it was simply for boasting…

‘That’s absurd.’

I forced myself to hold back a laugh.

‘It’s a monster you caught yourself…’

Looking at the white horse stone, he thought of Suryonggang.

The river created there was definitely the aftermath of the white-ranked monster caught by Dangjemun.

‘I wonder if that delicate woman has that much power.’

Doubts creep in.

The deeds of the heroes of the past.

And it was the thought that came to my mind every time I met him in person.

It seems that each one of them is not lacking even compared to the present triad.

‘What the hell…’

How strong were they?

Also, if it was that strong, why couldn’t it defeat a blood horse?

It was an implicit question.

The difference between the story of the past and the flow of the present.

The sense of alienation that came from there suddenly raised doubts.

‘First of all, right now…. It’s more important than anything like this.’

White Horse Stone, whose importance has long since passed away.

What can I do? Life is like that.

Charah…

“You’re being quiet.”

I pushed the head of the enemy investigator who kept interfering unnoticed.

[Huin.]

“Yes. Seniors.”

I shook my head at the voice of Dang Je-moon.

Seeing that, Dang Je-moon makes a strange expression.

[…I think the attitude is a bit different from the first time… . Is it an illusion?]

Isn’t it that the attitude has changed?

of course.

Unlike the people who gave shit after saying it was a chance, he is a person who gives things properly like this.

If you lowered your head, you could bow a hundred times more.

Since when did I have such high self-esteem?

‘The person who feeds me when I’m hungry is the owner and God.’

It was a way to live a life that was enlightened by dying and rolling.

Leaving behind Dangjemun, which felt a little distant. I asked what I wanted to ask.

“Please let me know. Seniors. How can I take the test?”

[…]

I told you to take a test to get that Poison Blade.

I could do anything right now.

‘Did you say it was a test prepared for Shin Noya?’

If it was really for him, why did I prepare for such a troublesome exam?

‘This must also be part of the arrangement.’

It must have been for some reason.

If there is only one thing that gets stuck in this situation.

‘…Can I take all of Noya’s talents?’

If most of the talents obtained so far were prepared for Shinnoya in the end.

I wondered if I could eat them all.

Noya said you could do that, so it should be fine.

‘It’s just that I’m embarrassed.’

The reason is that I am building up a sense of shame that I cannot understand.

Of course, I couldn’t help but do that.

I didn’t think about what to do or not to do to prepare for the bloodshed, so I decided to eat everything.

It was someone else’s luck and nabal, and it was a situation where I had to eat everything.

I don’t have much time.

reminded me of that again.

‘Anyway… it’s a chance that Noya couldn’t get it.’

If Noya succeeded in reappearing on this earth, either reincarnated or possessed, as they wished, it might be better to leave the event alone.

In my previous life experience, there was no record of a person like Shin Noya appearing.

What this means.

‘Their plan failed.’

Whatever you planned, it’s a failure.

therefore.

‘I’ll get it and take care of that shit together.’

Isn’t it enough to catch all the heavenly and blood demons?

By the way, this is what Noya told me.

Wouldn’t it be okay to do it together while preventing bloodshed?

At the time, I wondered what bullshit this was.

Now that I’m here, it’s the way it should be.

‘Isn’t that old man actually expecting everything?’

Maybe Shinnoya knew that things would turn out like this.

I thought so.

at that time.

[Before the exam begins.]

Dang Je-mun brought up a story.

[There is something I want to ask Huin.]

“Yes.”

Is there anything you want to ask me?

What is it?

The moment I looked at Dangjemun with questioning eyes.

[Have you ever regretted it?]

“Yes…?”

I heard some pretty nonsensical words.

At the same time, it was also a word that pierced my teeth.

Have you ever regretted it? I?

‘I can’t believe I haven’t tried it.’

It was a funny question.

All of my life was regret, how could I not have regrets?

“I did. very boring.”

I shouldn’t have lived like that.

I shouldn’t have done that.

I shouldn’t have said that.

I shouldn’t have left you I shouldn’t have done that with the excuse that it was for you.

I thought of it for a while, but I can’t count the regrets of the lack of a proper subject.

Looking at my expression, Dang Je-mun took on a slightly surprised look.

I wonder what my expression looks like now.

Unfortunately, there was no way to check.

Dang Je-moon, who was silent for a moment, soon spoke again.

[…Have you ever thought about overcoming those regrets?]

“Are you overcoming those regrets?”

At the words of Dangjemun, I burst out laughing without even realizing it.

It’s an obvious laugh. It was a mistake.

He hurriedly lowered his brows and spoke carefully.

“…I think it’s not something to do without overcoming regrets.”

[Then?]

“What you have to pack and take with you. The regret I see is yes.”

[…]

Regret is like regret.

Because I live looking at the past rather than looking at the present, regret continues to strangle my neck.

overcome this?

no. nonsense.

just going to hold on to it

Because I know it’s a memory I’ll never forget.

I just remember that time and take a step without rest.

‘Is this conversation part of the test?’

That was the only thought in my head.

I tried to suppress my dizzy thoughts and looked at the gate.

‘…uh?’

I checked Dang Je-mun’s face and widened my eyes.

It was because she had sad eyes for some reason.

[…then Huin is going properly with regrets in his arms?]

I tried to answer yes right away to the words that came out of Tang Zemun’s mouth.

one.

“…”

I couldn’t answer.

Because I knew very well that the positivity that I spit out right away was a lie.

I couldn’t possibly answer this.

Dang Je-moon’s expression when he sees me like that gradually deepens.

Then she spoke to me in a rather heavy voice.

[Now I’m going to start the exam…]

I was alerted to those words.

It seems to be a rather sudden start, but it was good for me to start quickly.

I focused because I didn’t know what would come out.

As I was looking at the party with tension raised, she spat out words to me in a calm voice.

[There is neither success nor failure in the test that the latter will receive.]

“Yes? what is that…?”

No success or failure?

So, how are you going to determine whether you are successful or not?

[At the end of the exam. Thoughts about what future generations will have. It doesn’t matter what it was.]

“Senior?”

A dangjemun that spit out unknown words.

Hearing that, a feeling of uneasiness crept up in me.

Most of the cases where I start to spit out such outrageous things are…

‘It was only when I was fucked.’

With such an intriguing thought, I tried to call the party door urgently.

[I just want you to choose a different option from me.]

Dang Zemun reached out his hand to me at the end of his words.

That moment.

Quadd deuk-!

“What?!”

The surrounding space began to distort.

Fuck I knew it would be like this…!

I tried to get out of the sudden situation, but the rift was already affecting everyone including me.

Dang Je-moon’s voice is heard beyond the tangled gaze.

[…even later…]

A small smile remained in his voice.

Or is it sadness? If not, is it longing?

Since I don’t know the person named Dang Je-mun, it was not easy to distinguish them.

[If you see Shin-cheol, please tell me what I have to say.] He

tries to answer something, but his voice is already in a state of silence.

in a condensed space.

Only the voice of Dangjemun rang out.

[I missed you. I missed you so much…and…I…]

The words filled with longing didn’t follow through to the end.

This is because the rift gradually grew stronger and my spirit, which could not withstand the pressure beyond its limits, was severed.

And when I open my eyes again…

“Heo Eok…!”

I was lying in the center of an unknown pit.
