Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 74

EP.74 A bit scratched. (3)

Roaring –

The flames that engulfed the quiet forest gradually disappeared in the wind.

With a single gesture, the flames that burned the bushes and trees are sucked into your body.

As the flames that swirled around her body were absorbed into her body, she felt that the secrets she had escaped were being filled to some extent.

“…Whoa.”

After finishing the capture of the bet, I exhaled deeply, and I could see the heat coming out of the corners of my mouth.

how much did you draw? I think I’ve overwritten it a bit.

[I know, I know.]

Shin Noya, who immediately said something, sounded a bit tired.

[Do you know how hard it is to calm down a guy who is about to break anything?]

“Was it very dangerous?”

[I wouldn’t have been able to stop it even if I had pulled out an inch more.]

“That means it was close.”

Looking at the burned dead bodies around them, I could tell that they had been pulled out quite a bit.

Because there was little control, there was not a single corpse intact.

The forest, which had only been filled with refreshing smells, was filled with a thick burning smell.

I thought, carefully tidying up my disheveled clothes.

‘Is this the first time?’

Killed a person for the first time after returning.

It was a very strange feeling.

I didn’t have any unnecessarily sentimental thoughts.

I’m back, so I won’t kill! I’ve never had a bad thought about the same person.

They were the janitors of the Dark Night Palace, the sapas, and the guys who were aiming for their younger siblings.

‘But why is my heart trembling like this?’

When I put my hand on my chest, I feel a slight trembling.

Is it the separation between mind and body?

‘It’s a useless idea.’

It’s like in the past life, anyway, it’s okay after a while.

I had to be blunt again.

[What are you going to do with the one who missed it?]

At Shin Noya’s words, the one who looked like a great leader looked in the direction in which he fled.

At first, I thought about catching and killing him, but changed my mind after seeing the shallow demonic energy in his body.

That there is a need to torture for information.

It’s shallow and blurry, but what he was carrying was demonic energy.

‘How do the Dark Night Palace possess demonic energy?’

Have you already had contact with the Demonic Cult? It couldn’t have been.

There are still several years left until the Demonic Cult Heavenly Demon appears.

‘Was Margie right in the first place?’

What I wasn’t sure about was that it was so blurry, and there was something that looked too shallow for Margie.

So it was painful to miss even more.

“He was faster than I thought.”

He should have burned his leg, not his arm.

It’s probably because it’s been so long since I’ve been in real life that my head isn’t working well.

Even though I know very well that even a small mistake will blow my throat, I can’t believe I made this mistake.

Soaked in peace and so weak.

“…when will this be cleaned up again?”

Seeing the corpses spread around me gave me a headache.

If he had a higher level, he would have been able to burn it down to dust….

Especially seeing the dead guy with his neck broken in that corner made me angry.

He should have burned his entrails first, but to him, a painless death was too kind.

Having disgusted thoughts at the sight of a child who seemed barely taller than his waist.

I didn’t like the fact that it had to be old age.

[It seems like he treats dog poop, but he cares about his little brother.]

‘It’s not like that.’

[No, hide that expression and say it.]

First of all, this part was something I had to tell Mae Hwa-seon directly.

If there is a part that worries me a little, it is that I do not know how Mae Hwa-seon will accept the part about killing because he is a master before being a warrior.

In that part, Shin Noya’s grave words felt peculiar.

[I just killed the person I was going to kill, so I don’t think there’s any need to talk about it.]

An ascetic before being a warrior.

Uninhabited before being a Taoist.

Maybe it’s because he’s a god-no-ya who’s personally experienced a war like the Blood Demon War, but I felt something calm in this part.

On the contrary, in the present relatively peaceful era, we do not know how to accept it.

[I knew you had a lot of secrets in the first place. I was a little surprised just now, but.]

I laughed bitterly at Shin Noya’s words. It’s because I felt my own consideration in the words.

Dark Night Palace’s appearance and Magi…

“Why were they hanging around here?”

I don’t think the main purpose is to save the world….

I think Shinhyeon and Youngpung were looking for missing people in the volcano in the past.

Could it be that this has something to do with it?

‘I feel like I’m going to get involved in something troublesome.’

First, the heat was removed, and then the scattered corpses were gathered in one place and put away.

It was obvious that there would be a problem if you carelessly put it away.

This was the part where I had to go back and talk to Mae Hwa Seon.

First of all, I roughly tidied up and moved toward the cabin.

Looking at them earlier, it seemed that they were blocked and couldn’t enter, but I was able to pass by without incident.

It passes smoothly as usual without any sense of blocking.

What’s the difference?

The unknown question was naturally resolved by Shin Noya’s words.

[The difference is probably whether or not there is a volcanic bet in the body.]

‘…Are you saying it’s because I ate the energy of a demon?’

[When I look at it, I think that feeling is right.]

Can such a function be possible with a gimmak, not a jinbeop?

Suddenly, the majesty of Maehwaseon, which had fallen to the floor in me, seemed to rise again.

The closer you get to the cabin, the more delicious scent hits your nose.

Are you in the middle of preparing a meal?

As I approached the cabin with a rustling sound, I saw a shoe that was actively moving outside.

“What are you doing?”

Gu Ryeong-hwa turned her gaze to me at the sudden question.

And an expression that instantly crumples.

“What are you here for again?”

“The master craftsman asked me to bring him something.”

“Is it for you?”

“You have to do it to me.”

It seems strange that I am running errands for a long-time scholar even from the perspective of Gu Ryeong-hwa.

yeah i’m curious too

The fact that it can be sold like this for one medicine.

You can see Jegalhyeok diligently cutting something in the back.

When our eyes met, he nodded slightly, thinking that maybe he was saying hello.

“…What else is he doing?”

“Don’t you see? You cook.”

“Does he cook?”

The way he sliced the onion thin was unusual for me to ask.

“…You’re doing better than I thought.”

For some reason, Gu Ryeong-hwa, who said that, seemed to have hurt his pride.

Why are you trading like that?

“Where is God?”

“In the house…Master is examining you.”

“i get it.”

Hearing Gu Ryeong-hwa’s answer, he is about to enter the cabin, but Gu Ryeong-hwa suddenly grabs his sleeve.

“what’s the matter?”

“Oh… what’s wrong with your hand?”

hand?

I didn’t know what it meant, so I looked and saw that there was a thin cut on the back of my hand.

I thought I avoided most of them, but did I skimp on anything?

Well, I thought that this was fine.

I thought of Gu Ryeong-hwa’s face.

What would have happened if I hadn’t appeared here?

It probably wouldn’t have been anything special.

At their level, it seemed like they were in a state where they couldn’t help but break the air.

I just didn’t like it.

Because of his narrow mind and rotten temper, he was burned to death in anger.

That side would be better.

Gu Ryeong-hwa pulled out the sleeve she was holding on to and said.

“A little bit scratched.”

Gu Ryeong-hwa put on a suspicious expression at my answer, but there was no point in questioning him.

“Don’t worry, just do what you have been doing.”

“Who was worried…!”

The call of the old man was not heard until the end and knocked on the cabin.

smart.

-Who are you?

God’s distinctive dry voice is heard.

“It’s called Guyangcheon, the one I saw last time.”

-Nuh… Ah.

The cabin door opens with a short shriek.

Sinui was wearing the same outfit as last time.

It was not a welcome feeling to make a confused expression as soon as he saw me.

“What’s going on?”

“Mae Hwa Seon asked me to pass this on.”

Sinui’s expression becomes more and more distorted when she takes out the letter that Maehwaseon gave her.

It was like watching bubbling boiling water.

…Coming to think of it, I wonder if he made me do it because he was afraid to see this, which he had to come to himself?

‘…Really it could be.’

Maybe it’s because he couldn’t bear to be angry with me, but his faith is tsk! With a clicking sound, he received the letter and placed it in his bosom.

“A guy like this dog will definitely fall into hell.”

“…”

Bogo, the long text of the Taoist family, is hell…

Anyway, since I delivered the letter properly, I turned around and tried to go back.

“Where are you going?”

“yes?”

Surprisingly, faith caught me.

It’s a face that won’t be enough even if I get rid of it, so why me?

“Are you going to leave the back of your hand like that?”

The word of faith reminded me of the wound Gu Ryeong-hwa mentioned.

Did you get caught for this?

“…No, this is just a little bit…

”

“No, it’s a wound that really heals with saliva, so it’s okay.”

“Where is the madman who spit on wounds! That’s why I don’t like all the guys whose brains are filled with martial arts…”

“Wait…!”

“Don’t make it hard for an old man to do everything, and follow me when he says nice things.”

True to God’s words, if I shook off the hand that was holding me, I couldn’t use my strength recklessly, lest it really break.

Eventually, he was grabbed by the back of his neck and dragged into the cabin.

******************

The room of the head of the Samseo branch of the Black Night Palace.

thud-! thud-!

The stomach gun repeatedly hit the forehead on the floor in the gaps of blood here and there.

The savage enemy sitting on the chair across from him rested his chin on his chin and stared at his gun.

Bae Chong, who returned after the five subordinates he had sent together died, was in a state where he could hardly use his left arm.

The savage asked Bae Chong.

“So who?”

“…I don’t know…it was the first time I saw him.”

“See you first? Oh, really.”

Deuk Deuk.

thump!

Whoop!

As the energy spreads in all directions along with the bloody words, the stomach gun spat blood, and the cave rumbled and dust fell.

“Are you saying that you were the only one living after being searched for by an unknown bastard?”

“Sorry…Sorry…”

“Fuck! You say that!?”

The savage sword swung in an instant and cut off the arm of the ship gun.

“Quaaaaaa!”

“Hey, do you know that I sent you with the kids to do it?”

“Turn it off…!”

“I thought I would do well if I put in a clever-looking bastard, but if it comes out like this, will I be disappointed or not?”

“…sorry…sorry…branch manager…”

Wow!

The savage spits on the side of the stomach gun.

There are no people in this branch, so I’m going to die, but most of the people I sent to search are dead.

Even to an unknown kid?

In the words of Bae Chong, he said he was a guy who uses firearms.

I knew that it was necessary to practice for a long time to breathe fire because it was not common for warriors to use fire weapons, and I knew that it was a wild beast.

Where did such a monster fall from?

Even more so, it was a very difficult part in that he recognized at once that he belonged to the Dark Night Palace.

The nocturnal enemy grabbed the severed shoulder and said to the trembling Bae Chong.

“You bastard.”

“Yes…”

“Do you want to live?”

“…yes…please please give me one more chance, Mr.”

“I cut off my injured arm on purpose. It was kind of considerate, right?”

The stomach gun catches the eye of his severed arm in the distance.

A trembling rage welled up inside, but all the stomach gun could do was force a smile.

“sure…! I am grateful for the heavenly grace of the branch manager.”

“Yes, yes.”

Saying that, the bloody enemy patted Pear Chong’s cheek.

I’d like to cut off his head and hang it on the wall, but no one in the branch knows how to use his head like a pear gun.

Then I thought about cutting off both of my legs so that I could only talk.

However, since he was a first-class unmanned person, he couldn’t carelessly do that.

“If we give it a few days, will Bae Chong be able to ask for information?”

At the words of the bloody enemy, the belly gun shouted with a trembling voice.

“…even if I can’t, I’ll find out information about him within three days.”

“Three days…. Of course, there must be something about trust in it, right?”

“…yes! I will find out everything.”

“I like the momentum. Let’s do well, shall we?”

The savage beast, who stood up, turned to the back and took something out of his leather pouch and threw it at the stomach gun.

It was an inner hem the size of a thumb.

“Just three days.”

Seeing that, the stomach gun shuddered.

Unless they belong to the main palace, all warriors of the Dark Night Palace are in a state of suffering.

The pain wriggling inside the body will explode if the medicine is not taken within a certain period of time. And because of that, the intestines will melt and die.

‘…Fuck.’

The ship gun gritted it.

If this happened, I really had to find out the information within three days somehow.
