Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 549

[Episode 549] Why are you here?

Four days passed.

I had already left Guangdong and arrived in Honam.

shoot it

I hear the sound of waves in my ears.

In a little while, night would come, so I found a valley and sat down.

I think I’ve been walking for a long time, but I’m still in the woods.

“hmm.”

I didn’t feel like I moved a little leisurely, but I did.

It was fine yet.

‘It worked out easily.’

It’s because I have some free time.

There are a total of three reasons why I wanted to move a little bit quickly in Guangdong.

at first.

‘Permanent season.’

Remarks are piled up every year in Guangdong.

It was for that.

Finding this wasn’t too difficult.

Because I knew more details than I thought.

‘There were some problems in that gap.’

In the process, there was friction with the nobleman named Gugwonjeokma, and a battle was fought.

Rather, I could use it to solve the next task.

‘Killed the bezoar.’

The second purpose I came to Guangdong province.

It was to kill Wei Seok, who was the head of the Guangdong branch of the current Murim League.

To say that this is vengeful, there is a part that is somewhat pale.

‘It was a combination of both.’

That was the purpose of just taking care of it as soon as it came.

‘In the meantime, I have to spread the name.’

It wouldn’t matter since that part was recognized by a soldier named Seodong.

‘There’s a chance he won’t talk.’

I was told to report it, but there were definitely cases where I didn’t.

Even so, it didn’t matter.

The important thing is that the bezoar was killed.

Perhaps because of this, the Guangdong branch will take about a month to recover.

Only one branch manager died.

‘Because it’s no different from turning it upside down.’

It is no different from an unknown person killing the branch.

Probably, if the report went up as it was seen, there would be many changes there as well.

‘One month to two months.’

Time to send in a new branch manager and sort out the remaining situation.

Maybe that’s how long it will take.

It’s not a long time, but it’ll be too late to deal with the monster’s accident during that time.

Then there will probably be casualties.

hani.

“Just pay attention to that part.”

To the words I quietly whispered in the middle of the night.

[I will obey your command.]

An answering voice came from the darkness.

He did not turn his head.

[We will assign personnel by region.]

It means that while the spirit is shaking, we ask that you take care so that there is no loss of life in Guangdong.

ah.

“In the meantime, let the rumors spread moderately.”

[I will accept it.]

By the time I thought I had finished all the things I had to say.

[And…]

I hear a whole tone as if I’m talking.

[There was a message that the Lord had asked me to convey.]

“Are you the Dark King?”

I raise my eyes as if asking what it is, and the voice continues.

[‘The child is ready. I will send it back now.’ It was an order to do so.] Hearing

“…”,

he exhaled low.

Because I knew who those words meant.

‘I’ll see you soon.’

The last time I saw it was two years ago.

It’s been a while since I left with the dark king, saying that there was a necessary training.

I nodded slightly and spat out the words.

“All right.”

When I finish talking, the person behind me disappears.

Only when I felt that did I get up from the rock.

take a step

I left my place and walked in the direction of the sound of the waves.

getting a little closer

Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The river reflected by the moon was swaying under the influence of the waves.

And I see someone sitting near the river.

Cheek-! Cheek-!

Someone is squatting and washing something in the river.

She had taken off her top, so her pale skin was very visible.

Looking at it, I asked.

“What are you doing?”

“…!”

The person who was eagerly washing his clothes in the river is startled at my call.

Then he turned his head and looked at me with gestures.

A yellow eyeball, tired from somewhere, caught my eye first.

The identity of the young man is right.

In a previous life, he was a sword demon and a celestial killer.

There.

The previous leader of Kunlun. A person who is expected to be a disciple of the Blue Sea Sword.

it was the rate

“What are you doing now?”

“…”

In response to my question, Sungyul showed me the clothes he was holding.

“…was… washing some clothes.”

“Tonight?”

“…yes… because the time is not right.”

“hmm.”

There was definitely nothing to do but wash.

but no matter how

‘He’s not crazy either.’

I was washing my clothes just because the valley came out in this situation.

In the meantime, the upper body of the guy with the top off is visible.

For a warrior who reached a high level, his muscles were poor.

His muscles are large, but it’s probably because he’s skinny.

In particular, the scars on the chest and all over the body stand out.

‘That’s it.’

It’s not a scar someone made.

These are the marks that appear when you hurt yourself.

“hey.”

“yes…?”

“Give me that dress.”

“…?”

Aside from Seong-yul’s puzzled expression at my words, he gave me his clothes.

He blew the catch as if he was taking away wet clothes.

Anger-!

“…!”

In an instant, heat radiated out and dried the wet clothes at once.

Immediately after, I roughly threw the dry clothes to Seong-yul.

The guy who hurriedly accepts clothes with a dumbfounded face.

I didn’t like the look of the scars.

Looking at that guy, I asked.

“Didn’t you manage to escape?”

“…ah.”

It wasn’t too long after I disappeared, but it was enough time if they wanted to run away.

The last few days when we started to accompany each other.

There was a similar situation in between, but Seong-yul never tried to run away.

In response to my question, Seong-yul speaks to me without any change in expression.

“Even if you run away, there is nowhere to go.”

“why? go home It’s at your house in Cheonghae.”

Seong-yul’s expression darkens slightly when he brings up the story of the Kunlunpa.

“…that’s…not where I’m going anymore.”

Whenever he talked about Kunlun, his expression always looked like that.

If there’s anything I’ve learned about the sex rate in a few days.

‘I couldn’t get older.’

Did you say twenty-five now?

‘It seems like they belong to Kunryun.’

or currently affiliated with.

Belonging to ‘was’ or something.

When I saw it, it was one of the two.

There.

‘It is also true that it is related to the Blue Sea Sword.’

I never directly mentioned it, but I’m sure it will.

such a guy

‘Why am I doing that here?’

It is not strange that he became a murderer since he was a thousand killer.

However, if it is a warrior belonging to the Kunlun faction, various problems will arise.

‘Thousand Killers are supposed to be killed when discovered.’

This is one of the rules established by the alliance.

When a Celestial is discovered, it must be reported to the Maeng immediately.

Although this is close to the law that must be followed if you are a member of the political party.

‘The Blue Sea Sword, who should have known that, was pretending not to know this.’

Even if he was raising him in his arms.

‘What was the intention?’

I don’t know how far there. important thing.

‘That the situation has become a bit troublesome.’

If in the past he was just a murderer-crazy guy.

What is the current Sword Demon like?

At least from my point of view now, he seemed a bit weak, but he was a decent guy.

‘But it’s not like I’m fine again.’

If you look at the Cheonsalseong when you first meet it as if it’s right.

That guy was no different from the Sword Demon I had seen in my previous life.

but.

‘I haven’t been completely stained with the Celestial Star yet.’

I felt like I was eaten by my constitution in my previous life.

It doesn’t seem like that at all now.

To put this another way.

‘It will be eaten someday anyway.’

In the future, he will not be able to defeat the Celestial and will be eaten.

when you think about it

‘It’s just the right thing to do for the original purpose.’

Corrupt it into a demon and use it in the future.

I found this guy for that purpose. I couldn’t.

‘Tsk.’

The eyes of the guy who asked to be killed a few days ago, overcome with guilt, come to mind.

When I remembered that, I got annoyed.

‘Ah, I saw something useless.’

Annoyed.

If I hadn’t seen it, I would have just thrown it away.

Seeing those damn eyes made me hesitate.

Tsk.

As I am biting my tongue at the rising emotions, Seong-yul asks me what to say after wearing all his clothes.

“That…”

“What.”

“May I ask what you want from me…?”

“what?”

Sungyul asked carefully.

“…would someone like you want to go along with me to use me somewhere.”

a person like you

I laughed at the words I heard.

“Do you know who I am?”

“I do not know. I know that you are an unusual person.”

It seemed that he was misunderstanding something.

I’m not that great of a person though.

‘In the first place, he’s not even a human anymore.’

I swallowed the words I wouldn’t have to say.

“Then you don’t know who I am and what I will do. What are you following me for?”

“…because he told me to follow him.”

I told you to follow me, so I followed you.

Sungyul was telling me so.

“So you didn’t even run away?”

“Even if I run away, there is nowhere to go…”

Seong-yul told me with calmed eyes.

“I decided that I couldn’t escape.”

“hmm.”

The reason why I didn’t run away was because I thought I couldn’t escape from me even if I ran away.

‘He’s smarter than I thought.’

It was the correct answer. I had no intention of letting him go smoothly.

‘If you kill me, you kill me.’

He is a man with a celestial spirit.

Would you like to know what will happen later?

In the meantime.

‘It’s what I want.’

In the meantime, that’s what I want from him.

“well.”

Nothing comes to mind yet.

No, there should be. It wasn’t something I wanted from him right now.

“and. What’s the difference if I say what I want? Are you going to do it?”

“…I do not know.”

Sungyul shakes his head at this.

“One… if it’s possible, I’ll do it.”

Hearing that, I shook my head.

“It’s like dog poop. I don’t know who I am and I don’t know what to do. Will you do anything you can?”

I thought I would corrupt into a demon and use it because he didn’t listen to me.

Are you sure you want to listen to me?

It was just absurd.

“Why are you fucking all of a sudden?”

“…”

“What are you?”

It would be comfortable if you said you would listen to yourself.

I wondered why.

I looked at him full of doubts.

In response, Seong-yul spoke to me in a tired voice.

“Don’t you know what problem I’m having?”

you know well

It’s a crazy constitution that lusts for blood and wants the pain of the other person.

“If you know that and still need me… I thought that would be fine.”

Knowing that he was the Celestial Killer, he said that if he needed him, that was enough.

also.

“You have nowhere to go anyway, so are you willing to do something for now?”

“…”

It was a word that felt a bit desperation.

“Hmm…”

Hearing Seong-yul’s words, he remembered the words.

‘iffy.’

A swordsman who has not gone mad yet.

It would have been easier to write if I had been stricken with madness.

Right now, that ambiguous state is rather a burden to me.

‘A bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode.’

It seems to be fine now, but if madness arises, it may change like in the inn.

Knowing that, wouldn’t it be better to just make it into a mine and use it safely?

I thought so.

‘It’s annoying to worry about.’

The look of the guy who felt guilty. The feeling of being stuck because of the Cheonghae Ilgeom.

After thinking about it for a long time, there was only one answer.

‘I don’t know if there’s a way to suppress its heavenly power.’

Could there be such a thing?

I don’t know what Cheonghae Ilgeom was thinking, but at least I didn’t know.

okay.

‘Let’s go easy.’

If it wasn’t going to be changed into a demon, I had to kill it.

In that case, it would be better to just make it magical from now on.

Thinking of that, I tried to reach out to Seong-yul.

Saaaa-.

“…!”

I quickly turned my head at the feeling behind me.

“what.”

Seong-yul, who saw me, put on a puzzled expression.

“excuse me…?”

“Be quiet for a moment.”

“…”

In the quiet gap, I drew a bet on my body and spread my spirits.

Whoaaah-!

The bet bursting out of the toe covers the surroundings.

Then, the presence was felt more clearly.

There are two signs that I can feel.

It was also rapidly approaching this way.

“this.”

As soon as I felt the presence, I had to frown.

It was because it was a sign of someone who knew.

However, the problem was that it was not a sign to be felt here.

‘…Why can I feel that child’s presence here?’

I had doubts, but I had no time to think. As soon as I checked the presence, I bet on my body.

OK.

Wow-!

The bones of the body make sounds and the body begins to change.

“…to…?”

Seong-yul, who saw this, spat out words briefly.

Dudududuk-!

In line with the sound, the body becomes smaller and smaller.

He has lost his height and his size has also decreased.

If you look at the difference, it’s about a span.

“Huh…”

After barely making her body smaller, she brushed her hair.

Immediately after, I looked at the reflection in the valley.

The slightly reddish eyes appear first.

Fortunately, it seemed to have changed.

“…what what…?”

Seong-yul had a shocked expression on my face at my sudden change.

Now was not the time to explain what this was.

The moment I was barely keeping myself in check.

It was because I felt that the sign was finally approaching.

that buck

I hear light footsteps.

“Uh…?”

Then came a voice.

It is the beauty of a fine woman.

The woman’s voice sounded quite bewildered.

Let me turn my head to that voice.

“…what?”

The woman whose eyes met mine raised her eyes to the fullest.

The woman’s face was familiar and awkward.

The corners of the eyes slightly lowered as if sharp.

Black hair that was loosely undone.

The small pattern drawn between the white uniforms and the body that is not too big for a woman.

There.

Even a face that resembles someone you miss.

The woman looked at me and couldn’t hide her expression.

“Why…”

The identity of such a woman is surprising.

“…Is your brother here?”

The fourth of the old family.

It was old age.
