Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 533
It’s a way that feels particularly dark.
It was more so because I didn’t turn on the lights before going to sleep.
I drive the bet with my eyes and brighten my vision.
Only then did the room look a little brighter.
At the same time, a cold sweat broke out.
pounding… pounding…
The surprised heart was not easily calmed down and was beating in the chest.
No wonder.
When I woke up, there was an assassin in front of me, so how can I not be surprised?
Even more so if the assassin is a nobleman who says that the human is the king of the dark house.
No, honestly, I wouldn’t have been so surprised if it had just come to me.
the problem is.
“… what are you doing there… ?
It was that a human called the Dark King was kneeling in front of me.
The front as soon as you open your eyes.
Knees stiffly bent as if angled.
Moderately bowed head and slightly lowered gaze.
I can see the figure of the dark king taking a near-perfect example.
It’s neat enough to make me want to have an example like that.
If Jisu Hui had been like that, wow, he received home training steadily! I would have liked
‘It will turn.’
It was a problem for me that the dark king, the owner of the night, had such an appearance.
‘Why is that person fucking coming to see me again?’
I’ve been wanting to be quiet lately.
It’s a fact that I forgot because I had a lot of work.
‘Around… The fact that there is also a dark king.’
Yes, there was that person too.
I forgot for a moment that there was a dark king in the party after changing my appearance along with Paezon.
‘Are you really okay here?’
Looking at the dark king, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
The value of a single Hwagyeong warrior is enormous.
Even if you reach the climax right away, it is a different story if you are in a situation where you want to take it to a prestigious swordsman’s college.
Just looking at it now, the elders of the prestigious Sega are all Hwagyeong.
It means that just by reaching the hwagyeong, it is worth reaching that position.
‘There are only a few people here.’
How many Hwagyeong warriors gathered at the gate?
Even with the exception of those belonging to our party.
The white lotus sword and the mysterious ship… Even if I counted the number of people who came to mind, there were five.
‘… This is a den of human weapons.’
It all feels like I’ve been drawn in, but I’ll leave that out for now.
Among such high-level military men, let’s evaluate the person called the Dark King in front.
‘An existence that can kill anyone.’
could rate it that way.
The king of secret guests who are said to be able to kill even the triad if they wish.
He is the owner of the all-night spree, the best sprinkler.
He was the one that no one knew about his identity.
of course… .
‘Even if it’s not the identity, I know a little bit.’
I don’t know how many people there are alive who have seen the Dark King in person.
From my point of view, I know a little more than that.
‘Descendants of Yeonga.’
It was that the dark king was actually a descendant of the damned Yeonilcheon.
I don’t know who else knows this, but considering what I didn’t know in my previous life, it’s probably not a known story.
‘… Is that why you came?’
Did I come here to keep my mouth shut because I knew that?
I know that the past situation is not right for me to do that, but I thought that way.
In the middle of it, the reason I managed to make him think that this was not the case was probably thanks to the dark king’s actions.
‘why?’
Why is he kneeling in my room?
Even my awake head gets cold.
I didn’t feel alive.
However, if it was at the level of the Dark King, he would lightly hide his life, so this part was not important.
Then let’s ask something else.
‘Since when.’
Since when has the Dark King been here?
Even if I fall asleep, I set up a curtain so that I can wake up if approached… .
ah.
‘It doesn’t matter. That too.’
If the opponent was the dark king, even that was useless.
oh this is fucking shit
‘I want it because it’s really hard to live.’
There are too many strong people who can break through this even if they take the means.
The shitty reality digs in for a moment.
Is it thanks? My mind was feeling a little lifted.
‘It must mean not to be a little vigilant in a comfortable situation.’
It’s nice to be reminded of something I had forgotten for a while.
When you are rolling your head to figure out the situation gradually.
[It’s been about an hour.]
Inside, Shin Noyage taught me.
‘… Is it the time when the Dark King came into the room?’
[okay. I’ve tried everything to wake you up. Even if you die, you won’t wake up.]
one time.
Apart from the fact that the Dark King has been here for so long.
‘I came as soon as I fell asleep.’
If it’s exactly the same as the time I fell asleep, it’s safe to say that the dark king waited for me to fall asleep.
Remembering that, I asked the Dark King.
“… Do you have any business with me?”
Fortunately, his voice did not tremble.
It would have been too ugly to have gone there. This was the most fortunate part.
In response to my question, the Dark King raises his head and looks at me.
White hair flashed.
Even in the dark, that hair seemed to glow strangely.
Although he is usually a dark king who wears a mask or changes his appearance.
When I saw it, I thought it was the real thing.
What about the white eyes in it?
Even though it was unusually white, it felt rather dark so that nothing could be felt.
Eyes that seem to be sucked into somewhere.
The first time I saw it, those eyes made me feel especially afraid.
‘what.’
Strangely, it wasn’t so scary now.
By the time I was still looking into the dark king’s eyes.
Whoop-!
“…!”
Suddenly, a change occurs in the dark king’s eyes.
The pupil is cut vertically thinly.
Seeing that, I got goosebumps on my forearms.
Is it because it’s gross? no.
It was because it was the same eyes that I saw somewhere.
Where did you see it?
I didn’t try to remember it.
As soon as I saw it, I immediately remembered it.
‘Eyes of blood demons.’
The eyes I saw at the last party meeting.
The red pupils of the Blood Demon who looked at me while using Jang Seon-yeon’s body were like the eyes of the dark king for some reason.
Change is not only that.
Ugh-!
When I saw those eyes, I felt vibrations in my body.
blood heats up
Are you reacting?
The heat that was different from my will began to fill my body.
I finally got up to my eyes.
I could feel it even without seeing it.
It seemed that my pupils would not be different from the dark king’s eyes.
immediately.
-Shaa!
A little boy hiding in a drawer came out.
Roaring-!
Blue flames were instantly wrapped around the body.
The flame quickly burns up and disappears, but the blue flame disappears and what remains is not the body of a thin snake, but the form of a huge monster.
It’s big enough to make a small room cramped.
Dotttori, who crouched down to protect me, reveals his angry teeth.
-Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… !
Totttori’s mouth trembled and he looked at the dark king with hostility and burst into hostility.
The dark king’s eyes are also directed at Ttolttori.
Is it because you saw it?
Only then did the Dark King’s mouth open.
“I guess you were right.”
Contrary to how I was nervous that the dark king would move after seeing the smart guy who expressed his hostility.
The Dark King only nodded, saying that he knew that.
what?
Then, the dark king’s gaze turned to me.
Seruk.
At the same time, the moment the Dark King moves, I’m trying to react, wondering if it’s an attack.
“huh… ?”
I had to harden my body against the action taken by the dark king.
It was because he bowed his head and bowed his head to me.
I was surprised and was about to say why.
“… The guardian born in Yeonga meets the great dragon.”
I had to stop at the words that came out of the dark king’s mouth.
dragon.
That word made me choke without even realizing it.
momentary hesitation.
After breaking through that, I finally asked the Dark King.
“… Seniors. Why are you like this?”
Is it Samjae these days?
Or was it something that was used by the elderly people around me? Each and every one of them was a piece of shit to me.
Even right now was the scariest.
If you’re watching the dark king, not anyone else, do this to me.
‘Am I already dead?’
Such a ridiculous misunderstanding crossed my mind.
Even as I tried to raise the dark king, who was hastily bowing, I remembered the words he had spoken.
‘It’s a dragon.’
It’s a word that makes your head spin.
It is a general term used to refer to the hundred-level monsters.
The image I saw while fighting the form of blood in the past. Looking at the form at that time, it reminded me of a dragon.
If you look at the fact that I was similar to the shape of the body and blood of the brainy guy who changed as he broke away.
‘… It’s a dragon.’
I also seemed to know why unfamiliar words didn’t just feel unfamiliar.
‘Am I a dragon?’
the unknown species.
Is the body I have changed really a dragon?
The scales on his arms and the somehow changed body are also his form.
Let’s say that until there.
‘It’s a dragon and a Nabal… . That’s because it’s done.’
Whatever I’ve become, even if that’s an afterthought.
Now I had to figure out why the person in front of me was doing this.
When that scary human even changed his tone and came out here, it seemed that the fear that had barely been put to rest would come up.
“First of all, senior… wake up… .”
“I beg you to see such a great being.”
They try to get away from Tttttttori and catch the dark king.
The Dark King continued his words.
“I feel sorry for this lowly blood.”
I put my hand on his shoulder.
souuuuuuuu… .
“…!”
When I touched the dark king’s body, there was a change in his skin.
Surprised, he removed his hand.
I urgently widen the distance, but the changes that have taken place do not diminish and expand the scope.
skin has changed
Just as the dark king’s pupils changed, his skin was also changing.
thick
The bumpy skin was like my right arm.
If there was a difference, his color was gold, unlike my blue.
Looking at the dark king with trembling eyes.
Whoa-!
Changes have also taken place in my body.
My heart started beating wildly.
The blood felt hot enough to be incomparable to before.
How should I express this?
When there is no clear definition.
– It’s instinct.
For some reason, the words of the Blood Demon I had heard in the past came to mind.
This is what I said when I met the Blood Demon, when he was distracted by the boiling blood.
-That’s how it was originally.
-A arrogant creature that doesn’t want another equal being under the same world.
He looked at me and clearly said that.
So, are the feelings you feel toward the Dark King now hostile?
‘no.’
That obviously wasn’t.
this is not hostility
Rather, it was a lower and colder emotion.
If I had to put it into words.
‘Insignificant… ?’
yes, it’s insignificant
I felt insignificant when I saw an unmanned man several times stronger than me.
Why do I feel these feelings?
It’s a fucking feeling that makes you want to dig your insides out.
If you look at the words of the Blood Demon coming to mind differently now.
‘He knew from the moment he saw me.’
Or, it meant that the blood demon knew that I would end up like this.
Even before I completely escaped, the blood demon knew that I would become a dragon.
that… .
‘Is blood a problem?’
Seeing that my flame has turned into a bloody blue flame, it seems to be so.
In the meantime, I caught on to what the blood demon had said.
– Since you are not my piece, how did you start blooming?
This meant that it was not his intention that I had changed.
I can’t believe everything the blood demon says, so I’m just keeping it in mind.
when you see this.
‘Blood magic… . Is it a dragon?’
That guy, too, meant that he was an unknown race called a dragon.
Yes, then the words of blood will be resolved.
-I am the seed of the Dragon Emperor.
If the blood energy originated from the blood demon, then what he said also made sense.
Because that word was like proof that the blood demon was a dragon.
‘… for a moment. then… .’
I raised my eyes to the words that gradually began to connect.
In the first place.
What are the guys with the word dragon originally attached to them?
Those are hundred-level monsters.
In the past, they were called dragons after their appearance and strength.
Now, when it comes to dragons, it refers to imaginary beings or white-class monsters that exuded a mighty presence in the past.
The problem is that after the blood demons disappeared, the white level monsters no longer appeared in the midfield.
The red monsters started appearing in my previous life, but I never saw the white ones until the moment I died.
Although this is a good direction for peace.
Could this be a coincidence?
Then, what is the reason why red monsters appear unlike in the previous life?
Is there something wrong with this too?
The more I thought about it, the more my breathing became rougher.
Things that were blurry become clearer.
However, the outline of the story I wanted to know so much seemed much bigger than I thought for some reason.
The moment when my mind started to light up little by little as the pieces gradually came together.
“… please”
I heard the dark king’s dry voice.
Only then did my eyes stop thinking and looked at the dark king.
Looking at him, his brow furrowed.
It’s not because of his grotesque appearance.
just because i don’t understand
Heroes saved the world.
It means that he couldn’t kill the blood demon, but managed to seal it and save the world.
Aside from seeing me as a disaster, I respected the achievements he had made in his own way.
The man who tried to save the world by going back in time.
The perception of Yeonilcheon is definitely that.
‘why.’
Why?
“Release the curse that binds my blood… .”
Could it be that Yeon Il-chun’s successor, who was at the forefront, became like that?
I didn’t know why, but it made me feel very dirty.
Sin is passed on to the next generation through blood.
These were the words the Dark King heard from his father when he was young.
It is said that the sins of their ancestors continued and accumulated karma on them.
The most word the cancer king heard from his father was an apology.
[I’m sorry I gave birth to you.]
[I shouldn’t have given birth to you.]
In a way, these words were bitter, but the dark king understood them as he listened to them.
There was no choice but to do so.
A monster who wanted to be human gave birth to a monster.
He hoped that the child born would be human, but he couldn’t because his blood was thick.
This is the father’s wish.
Aside from his regret, the reason why the dark king was born as a monster was his father’s wishes.
Around twenty years after giving birth to the Dark King.
his father died.
The way he died while handing an apology to the Dark King as always.
For some reason I was smiling happily.
On the contrary, the dark king who sat down in front of his tombstone had an expressionless face.
It’s not that it’s not sad.
I can feel the emotion, but it’s not so big that it distorts my expression.
Only then did the Dark King realize that he was indeed a monster.
In addition, I thought I knew why Abi smiled so much and left.
“Are you happy to pass it?”
This is what I asked about the tombstone.
This blood curse is cruel.
It makes them suppress their emotions, and their appearance sometimes turns into a vicious one.
As if to prove that he was a monster, his physical abilities were excellent, but he was just a monster.
This curse was called the dragon blood curse.
Did you say it was a curse from the dragon?
Having the blood of a dragon, but failing to become a dragon and falling ugly.
It wasn’t that scary. It is said that it did not matter whether it was a dragon or not.
The problem with this curse was one.
I long for him because I couldn’t become a dragon, but I also cry because I want to live as a human.
and.
It was a curse that made people hate and look down on them.
The power to cause riots, including all kinds of contradictions.
That was the essence of dragon blood.
Even more so, when you awaken this blood, you will hear a voice that lingers in your head.
– Serve the dragon.
Someone I didn’t know who was talking to me constantly.
You who have not become a dragon, serve the dragon.
A terrible voice that I hear every day.
It was an echo that never faded no matter how weary and howled.
There is only one way to escape this curse.
That is to give birth to a child and escape from the curse.
The terrible blood that made it impossible for him to die, he would not let go unless he gave birth to someone to take his place.
The father of the dark king gave birth to the dark king in order to escape from this.
They give birth to children to overcome the curse.
Only then can you be liberated and die. It could not have been a truly terrible curse.
The mother who gave birth died.
The father did not talk about the mother of the dark king until the moment he died.
The father who passed the curse of dragon blood died when the dark king turned 20.
The person who only handed an apology saying he was so sorry, smiled happily in the world the moment he died.
Now, all that was left was the life of the Dark King, whose blood had awakened at the age of 20.
In front of his father’s tombstone, the dark king made a promise.
Break this curse.
He said that he would not pass it on to future generations like his father did, but would face his own death.
I lived like that.
– Serve the dragon.
Even if the sound echoed in my ears, I lived with it.
-Kill that insignificant subspecies.
Emotions were dry and twisted.
Perhaps because he became a monster, his gaze toward humans was infinitely cold.
It was the same to deal with it, so he had no qualms about killing.
