Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 460
Chapter 460 – Change.
white uniform.
A plum leaf pattern on the chest. A scar that crosses the neck vertically and reaches the tip of the chin.
Sharply torn eyes and a furrowed brow. Just looking at it, it gives an unusual impression.
It’s not what I’m going to say, but should I say that I’m not a person who would be seen as a Jeongpa or a Daoist?
He was one of the most ferocious looking people I had ever seen.
Seeing this, it was the first person I had ever seen.
I knew who he was.
I don’t know how.
He was the one who made a lot of noise in my head.
Seeing the old man glaring at me as if he didn’t like me, I called out cautiously.
Noah?
joy.
At my call, the old man snorts loudly.
I rubbed the back of my head, which was still tingling.
Are you a real noob?
Tsk tsk… How many times have you wiped and cleaned the poop that you were spewing out like that? Are you asking about this?
The old man takes a step closer.
It was considerably taller than expected. Do you feel like you’re a little underachieved?
Is it really Shinnoya? Then why am I here…
No, do I need to know why I am watching Noya here?
You’re thinking stupid again.
yes?
Should I hit you in the head one more time? Get your mind right!
My body flinched at Shin Noya’s howl.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. What do I need to be alert to?
Even so, it felt like things that were blurry became relatively clear.
The feeling that something is happening. By the time you feel that feeling little by little.
Noya still purses his lips as if he doesn’t like it.
Ugh. that hated guy
… Why do you do it right away? Please tell me the reason properly.
yes. You guys have always been the kind of guy who always needs to be fed.
…
take a good look at your chest.
He tilted his head at Noya’s words and looked down. Why are you suddenly looking at the chest…
!
As soon as I saw it, I widened my eyes and stretched out my hand.
Feeling embarrassed, he stroked my chest.
It had to be.
This is because there was a hole that was not small where the heart should be.
what’s crazy
what’s this? Why is there a hole in your chest?
All of a sudden, I want something like this, so I’m rolling my eyeballs here and there.
chuckle
The wind hole is very tight.
Shinnoya bursts into laughter as if my actions are funny. That laugh was close to a sneer.
… What is this?
When I asked why my body was in this state, Shin Noya pointed at me with a finger.
Looking back, I was at the location of the huge egg I was looking at earlier.
Now, it was surrounded by plum leaves and was obscured.
What’s that…
That’s what was in your hole.
… yes?
I gasped at Noya’s words.
Is that what was on my chest?
Wasn’t
that… my bowl…?
Are you saying that my vessel was not embodied?
A bowl and a heart are not very different. In the end, it’s probably the same thing.
… The bowl should be in the danjeon. How are you saying the same thing?
If both are broken, it’s the same thing to look for. would it be very different
…
No, it’s true if you say it like that, but…
I’m speechless. Seeing me like that, Shinnoya let out a deep sigh.
Someone was blocking it with bloody poop. You are having a very big accident.
Were you blocking it?
I listened to Noya’s words. were you blocking it? what?
When I questioned Shinnoya, he came closer to me.
coo-!
Whoops!
He hit the top of my head with his fist.
The body shakes in shock.
Even more so, the pain was so strong that I had to sit down and fix my hair.
I’m going
to go to the middle of the day, so I’m going to have a good time Noya told me.
The energy in your body is increasing, but the bowl can’t handle it. Shouldn’t you be supporting something instead?
… that word….
It reminds me of the saying that the bowl that faith did to me is about to break.
Does Shin Noya’s words mean that he was preventing the bowl from breaking?
Since when?
It’s a face I already know. Why are you asking?
…
around the time Shinnoya started not talking to me anymore.
To be exact, it was right after the closing.
‘Already from that time?’
Shortly after I achieved rapid growth.
That was the starting point when the silence, which was expected to last for a few months, turned into years.
I hope that means
… Are you saying you’ve been blocking it since then?
It was a little better at the point when your level reached the hwagyeong. I couldn’t stand it for long.
Then, what did you do to save me by going to Vigo?
At my words, Noya looks at me as if he is dumbfounded.
So you’re saying we should just let you die?
…
Huh true. I helped you at best, but what is it? still a madman
I had nothing to say about this part.
As I slightly averted my gaze, Noya let out a small sigh and continued talking.
baby boy Your bowl is by no means small. I mean, it’s rather big.
Noya looked at the egg behind him and spoke again.
It can be said that such a bowl put a lot of energy into it to reach this point.
The meaning that the vessel is about to break because it has so much energy is different from the amount of energy inside.
The fact that the bowl broke because of a lot of bets was nothing strange, no matter how many times it broke when thinking about his previous life.
You should think that this is not the amount of energy, but the number of energy.
The aura of the Mouth Flame Garnner.
Volcanic pottery.
Margie.
youth.
At the end, even the energy of Tuapa Cheonmu.
A total of five energies were contained in the bowl. According to this, it was right to say that the vessel had finally reached its limit.
… Checking now, there are quite a few.
It was impossible for a normal person to have two auras.
It was not strange that the bowl was in danger.
Right now it’s not just that part of the problem…
Yes?
Isn’t that important now? I guess I should talk about something else first.
Sarak.
Shinnoya reaches out. It was toward the plum leaves surrounding the eggs. When Shinnoya’s fingertips reached there.
Whoaaah-!
The plum leaf reacted.
The color of the plum leaves that tightly wrapped the eggs faded and turned translucent.
So that you can see all the eggs inside.
…
Looking at Al again, it was miserable.
It was densely cracked and looked like it would break if you hit it.
Unknown water was still flowing from the crevice.
Fortunately, the plum leaves cover the outside and are barely holding on.
In other words.
It was in this state all the time, but I guess that means I didn’t know.
Wrong.
I turned my head as if surprised by Shinnoya’s words.
… Do you use mind reading?
I obviously didn’t say anything. How did know?
I always say, but, kid, you have too many spots on your face.
Noya looks at me like that and says as if he is pathetic.
Originally, it was no different from a mop.
A rag from the master’s mouth…? It is still an indescribable speech.
It would be fair to assume that this incident has accelerated the process.
Is it this time?
What do you mean? it’s this time
Did something happen to me?
Noya looked at me with sunken eyes for some reason as I put on an expression full of questions.
remember it before it’s too late Because you don’t have much time.
So what…
or would you rather forget?
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, and I don’t know why….
It means to remember why you guys are here.
Why am I here?
I know.
why am i here
Why is my chest at this point and what does it mean to accelerate?
Seeing that Shinnoya is telling me to remember, it sounds like he knows.
I don’t know.
None came to mind.
It feels like a fog has risen again in my mind that has cleared up a little.
Seeing me stuttering as if I didn’t know anything, Shin Noya added a word.
If you’re going to regret it only after losing it after worrying so much. I will respect your choice
you lose?
lose
Hearing those words, I felt a stab in the corner of my empty chest.
What do I mean by losing?
The reason I came here…
oops…
A sudden onset of headache gripped my temples. It seemed that something would come to mind with the pain.
and not long after
Huh…!
I gasped and had to run my hands over my chest. It was because the sensation of having his heart pierced by the tip of a sharp sword came to mind.
Then one by one comes to mind.
The moment the Cheonjon attacked him, he was unable to do anything and faced death helplessly.
Even the back of Cheonjon, who was heading towards the Demon Swordsman, exhaling life.
Vibration sounds.
Whoa-!
It was the echo from the huge egg in front of my eyes.
Looking at that, I asked Shinnoya.
… I am. Are you dead?
not yet dead But in a little while I’ll be dead.
…
the heart was pierced.
The bowl had become that jigyeong and it was accelerated by the influence of work just now.
It is said that there is not much left to break.
Thinking that far, he shifted his gaze to Shinnoya.
What should I do?
It is a question of how I recall the absurd look on Shinnoya’s expression when he heard my question.
I’m on the verge of dying right now, so how can I find a way?
You know how, so don’t you do this to me?
her.
I don’t know what this space is.
Is my inside a space that has been shaped? Or is it a different space, I don’t know.
The important thing was that Shin Noya appeared here and was talking to me.
Look at such a shameless guy. Are you even asking me to clean up your shit?
yes. While you clean it up, please clean it up one more time.
her.
Said it as boldly as possible. Because I knew now that I didn’t even have time to pray.
coogu palace.
The egg felt more intense movement.
Should I really say that Noya’s energy is blocking something that seems to break at any moment?
What can I do?
… Why do you think I know how.
Don’t you know that you’re making that face?
…
Noya’s expression crumpled a little more after hearing the words.
There is a way. It doesn’t seem like anything useful. But there is no other way. That’s pretty much the expression.
… It looks like you’re using mind reading, not me.
Noya also has a lot of tea on his face.
Cheeky….
At my words, Shin Noya laughs bitterly.
It was the first time I saw your face. Maybe it’s because they’ve always stuck together, but it just felt familiar.
Putting that longing aside. There was something I needed to know now.
… how to get through this situation now. please let me know Noah.
If it is true that he died of a pierced heart. How the hell am I supposed to survive in this situation?
Noya looked me in the eye and smiled.
The guy who was in a daze until just now. When a woman gets caught, her eyes come back. Tsk tsk.
…
It’s a way… Yes, there is a way.
I listened to Noya’s answer and listened.
what is it Since the bowl is about to break, is it a way to widen the bowl?
If that’s not the case, are you trying to give me something?
I’m a bit uneasy because I remembered that things couldn’t be settled if I ate more here, but…
I don’t know what you’re thinking. It is impossible to widen the bowl.
This time, as if he had noticed from my expression, Shin Noya immediately gave me an answer.
Even if it means clearing up your unstable state. It means that the bowl is not good enough to handle that.
… Then what should I do?
At the question-filled words, Noya pointed again at the egg behind him.
Why do you want to point that out in the first place?
If it was so high that you couldn’t stand it any longer. Rather let it flow.
yes…?
just let it flow? Does that mean, then, that the bowl should be left alone whether it is broken or not?
Then, if the bowl breaks, won’t you die?
will die
Then in the end…
you as a human being.
…!
I had to raise my eyes at Noya’s cool words.
As a human being, I die. What the hell is that….
don’t you already know. That means it’s getting harder to call yourself a human being.
…
that’s the last frame that holds you as a human being.
last frame.
… That bowl is the last frame that allows me to live as a human being?
What’s more, it’s a kid who can endure that much without breaking. it’s your stupidity
regret…?
Yes, the last regret of wanting to live as a human being.
back.
It felt like my fists were drying themselves.
It’s regretful.
Is that my lingering desire to remain human somehow?
Water dripped down and soaked the floor.
That water I am barely holding on to is all my lingering feelings.
… I can not understand.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. The important thing is… the choice you’re going to make now.
… Noya.
The reason I’ve been blocking that until now. It was purely because of my greed.
If you say it’s greed.
If wanting to remain as a human being is regrettable, wanting to leave you as a human being is my greed.
…
Because I wanted you to remain human.
There was a faint bitterness in Noya’s voice.
It’s too late now, the time has come for you to choose.
What should I choose? I faced Noya without hiding my shaking eyes.
if you wish You can die forever as a human right here.
…!
Plum leaves fluttering in the air gather at Noya’s fingertips as he speaks.
It was the sword that gathered in a handful and took shape.
The magenta-colored sword tip in Noya’s hand turned toward me.
So choose. Whether to end it here or to live while giving up being human.
…
life and death.
The words to choose among them are actually the words that the scales are biased to one side.
How could it not be Living is like that.
despite knowing all of that. I couldn’t come up with an easy answer.
cease to be human
The pressure from those words made me close my mouth tightly.
… if not human… what?
I do not know. All I can tell is when you choose it It is a fact that you will definitely regret it.
if you choose this. Will I come alive?
I don’t know that either.
What else is that…
Your body will be revived, but what you don’t know is that what’s inside that shell is you, a kid.
It was a truly frightening word.
‘You think I might not be me?’
What does it mean if it is me or what is contained in my body?
In addition, I was afraid of the warning that if I made this choice, I would regret it unconditionally.
I thought I would give up anything for the serenity I desire.
Looking at it now, it seemed that it was not the case again.
‘I see.’
I thought as I watched the crumbling egg.
‘It looks like I wanted to live as a human.’
As much as I lived an unhuman life as a demon in my previous life.
I wanted to live this life as a normal human being.
I guess this was a wish I didn’t know about.
Does this mean that you will regret it in the end if you give up?
Maybe it will.
Even so.
I walked away with a nonchalant expression.
…
Seeing that, Noya also didn’t say anything. He just watched me silently.
The destination is where the egg is.
The appearance of Al, who approached and looked at it, was still a mess. It’s a look right before it collapses right now.
It was like my life.
A life covered in many colors, dented and ruined.
The shape of the egg seemed to represent my life as a human being.
He slowly reached out his hand there.
widely.
The texture was rough and there was no soft spot anywhere.
It seems to resemble the temperament of my master.
Ignore it and push it deeper.
Fast-!
The outside was cracked and my hand easily penetrated the inside.
the feeling inside. I felt something warm.
… baby.
In that situation, Noya calls me in a weak voice.
yes.
Do you have any regrets about that choice?
Hearing Noya’s question, I laughed.
Do you have any regrets?
no. I want to quit right away.
if.
one. There are so many things more important than my petty ego.
Rather than the foolishness and pride of wanting to live as a human and die like that.
Those who wanted to find peace with my damn life were more important.
It would have been much easier if my death and world were on the scale.
Because my pride is more important than saving the world. If it was that, I would have picked it at once.
Unfortunately, the opponent was too strong.
… under.
Hearing my answer, Noya smiled dejectedly.
Even though I haven’t seen you in a long time, you’re still the same.
Noya is also the same.
what am i
You are still grumpy.
… this bastard?
Hard-.
The moment Noya tried to approach me with a distorted expression.
Damn-!
From the point where my hand dug in, a large crack splits in all directions.
The long, thick cracks began to seep out of the water gradually.
…
A situation where you can feel that something great will happen soon.
I swallowed the small fear that surged up inside me.
Oh no.
I talked to Noya.
What.
That’s when I see you again later.
huh?
As they continued talking, the shell of the egg shattered and the water inside spewed out.
Quaaaaaa-!
Just before being swept away by the tremendous current, he laughed to the fullest and said to Noya.
I think we have something to say about Mrs. Dang Je-moon.
…
When I hear the story of the Dangjemun, Noya’s facial expression is worth seeing.
That’s it.
I’ll hold on and make fun of that old man.
For now, this feeling was enough.
