I frowned at the Heavenly Demon’s words.
“How do I know that?”
What kind of conversation is this?
I guess I just wasted time.
‘What are you doing?’
From the beginning, it didn’t matter what the name was.
Even in my past life, I didn’t know the name of the Heavenly Demon.
It’s just a heavenly demon.
He was a devil who fell from heaven and was the one who caused the disaster.
Her name didn’t matter to me at all right now.
That was enough.
No, it had to be that.
therefore.
‘Don’t make that face in front of me.’
As if he was a different person from the Heavenly Demon of his previous life. It was disgusting to see him acting like that in front of me.
“I feel dirty.”
I twisted my back.
The condensed bet feels unusually heavy.
Energy cannot have weight, so it must be pure pressure.
Can this kill me?
I’m not sure.
One, just do it.
“Greed.”
Sigh-!!
Kwasik-!
“!”
The tom escaped and ate the membrane.
This time, the Heavenly Demon did not dodge, and a larger space than before was created.
That place.
Take a deep step and step on the ground, then move your shoulders to adjust the angle and grip the sacred spear deeply.
“…”
Seeing that, the Cheonma adjusted her posture without trying to say something.
It doesn’t seem like he’s trying to run away.
‘rather.’
It seemed like he was determined not to move.
‘Fuck.’
Does this mean that you have to guess to guess?
I felt like I knew how differently people were viewed.
Then I’ll have to show it.
“Okay, then just search here.”
He spoke and moved his arms.
at that time.
“Brother-!”
Gu Hee-bi’s voice was heard from the forest behind.
It looks like he arrived late.
It’s already too late.
Wow-! He threw away the holy spear he was holding.
Easy profit–!!
The Holy Spear quickly flew towards the Heavenly Demon.
“no-!”
Gu Hee-bi, who saw this, hurriedly intervened and tried to stop it, but there was no way she could stop it with her speed.
like that.
The Holy Spear finally reaches the Heavenly Demon.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon slowly closed his eyes.
Ugh-!!
Kwaaaaah–!!!
An explosion erupted along with vibration.
Shhhhh–!!
The heat-filled wind bursts violently and sweeps the area.
Thick smoke rises from afar.
I waved my hand while looking at it.
In the aftermath of the explosion, a tree caught on fire was recovered.
Whoa-!!
Flames gather and accumulate in the heart.
He looked straight ahead with a frown on his face.
In front, the Heavenly Demon was still standing as before. It looked like it wasn’t hurt at all.
A ruined area could be seen behind the standing Cheonma.
“Haa….”
I wiped my face with a trembling hand.
“Fuck….”
You idiot.
It’s a curse I spit at myself.
I couldn’t do it in the end.
Even if they spoon-fed me, I couldn’t do it.
What kind of trash is this?
“Yuna…!”
Koo Hee-bi, who came running from behind, passed me and approached Cheonma.
“Hello, sister.”
Cheonma looked at Gu Hee-bi and greeted her calmly.
I thought about that.
Why couldn’t I kill him?
‘Is it because of the anxiety that I won’t be able to kill him?’
must be killed
I know that only if I kill myself will even this shallow anxiety go away.
I couldn’t do that.
‘…Is it because he looks exactly like Wei Seol-ah?’
I can’t say no.
However, it may not be purely for that reason.
‘So you think it might change?’
Is there an expectation that the very different appearance of the Heavenly Demon might turn him into something like Jegalhyuk or Namgungbia?
I can not know.
I can’t know anything, but one thing is certain.
‘You’ll regret it.’
I think I will regret it if I kill Cheonma now.
If not now, you might not be able to kill him.
One day, it could become a disaster and cause another bloody scare.
There was such anxiety, but it was overlaid with the fear of unknown regret.
Do you feel any remorse?
If that was going to be the case, I shouldn’t have felt it now.
What kind of English is this?
This too was unknown.
‘…What should I do?’
I asked a grumpy old man who no longer exists.
‘I don’t know the way.’
There is no way I can hear an answer.
There was no one to ask either.
If you were Noya at this time, what would you have said to me?
-If you think you’ll regret it, don’t do it.
Did you say that?
‘Well, you never know what might happen later.’
-If you do, go and think about it then. You should be able to do that much. Ah, tsk tsk. How can you use a guy with a spine if he’s so scared?
‘…’
-Do what your heart tells you. That’s true for you.
Although Noya is not there.
It felt like what Noya was saying to me.
Thinking of this, I looked at the Heavenly Demon.
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“huh?”
“Why didn’t you take the exam?”
I managed to pass the test on the first try, but Cheonma suddenly disappeared right before the second test.
“ah.”
The Heavenly Demon’s eyes widened as if he was remembering this.
And then.
“You’re weak.”
“what?”
“My sister said you don’t bully the weak. “If we fight, we’ll be in big trouble.”
“…”
In an instant, the top-notch warriors who had reached the peak of maturity turned into weaklings, but regardless, it was absurd that the Heavenly Demon would say something like that.
“Yeobyeong.”
Tuk-tuk.
After hearing the answer, I shook my hands. At the same time, he looked at Gu Hee-bi and said.
“Put your sword away, sister. “I won’t do it anymore.”
“…”
Koo Hee-bi, who was holding the handle, was shocked at my words.
He was probably trying to stop me.
‘With that kind of expression on his face.’
Koo Hee-bi’s expression looks so pained when she looks at me.
It seemed like he didn’t like the idea of pointing a sword at me.
He may be one of the worst-tempered people in the world, but at times like this, he is truly humane.
“Little brother…”
“I’m not saying I’m just going to stop. “Right now… I just need some time to think.”
“I don’t know how my younger brother will look at me, but this kid isn’t that bad… He just doesn’t know much about the world yet, so stay with him a little more.”
“Maybe so.”
Gu Hee-bi was interrupted.
right. Maybe so.
The appearance of the Cheonma, who did not want to fight and said that one should not fight the weak, was almost bizarre to me.
Regardless of the reason, maybe Cheonma can live a different life.
You could look at it that way, though.
“But if I want to think like that now, I have to give up a lot, right?”
That was very difficult for me.
There are only a few years left.
In just a few years, the time will come when the Heavenly Demon will descend.
Until then, you don’t know what’s going to happen.
It was too much to think about just seeing what I had just seen.
“So, I’ll leave for now.”
I needed time to think.
When I thought about it, I couldn’t think of anything.
I looked at the messed up forest and the Heavenly Demon and then turned my back.
‘Can I keep going like this?’
Is it okay to leave Cheonma behind?
At that time, I was constantly wondering that question.
“bye.”
“…”
“See you later.”
Hearing the voice of the Heavenly Demon speaking in an awkward tone, I finally took a step forward.
Whoop-!
It floated in the air.
The moon still rises at night.
I took a deep breath while looking at the thinly combed crescent moon.
‘what’s this.’
How did this situation turn out?
Now, I am leaving behind the appearance of the Heavenly Demon and the me who endured it while looking at it.
I recalled how the situation had come to this point.
‘Grandfather…’
My grandfather, the previous head of the Gu family and known to have already died, entrusted me with Cheonma.
How did Cheonma, who had left with the palace lord, end up in the hands of his grandfather?
And that too to Goo Hee-bi.
I don’t know.
It’s strange that my grandfather is even alive in the first place.
‘Does your father know?’
Does my father really know this?
If I know, it means that I didn’t know that Gu Hee-bi knew and my father knew.
‘…I don’t want to ask Gu Hee-bi right now.’
I didn’t want to go back and ask Gu Hee-bi again.
‘Anyway, my father said he would come tomorrow.’
First of all, I have to ask my father tomorrow.
With that in mind, I left the forest first.
Here too, an unexpected problem occurred.
next day.
The members of the Gu family and Mrs. Mi returned to Hanam as planned.
In fact, my father did not arrive with me.
Seven days and seven nights passed after that.
******************
Cold air flows everywhere.
Sseuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!
A person who was sitting roughly with his head down, where a chill was filling the space, slowly raised his head.
“hmm.”
The young man sighed briefly and opened his eyes.
Eerie blood-red eyes were revealed to the world.
“this.”
Cluck cluck.
The young man laughed as if he was amused by the unexpected situation.
“I wonder if the problem was that I left it so shallow that no one would suspect… Ahae has come to her senses.”
A vast being is forming a coil.
I was doing it as unnoticed as possible.
I guess that was the problem.
“It’s a shame.”
It was truly disappointing.
It was an opportunity to easily obtain a precious key.
While the young man was relieving his regret.
A woman wearing a veil slowly approached and knelt in front of him.
“I see you, master…”
The young man’s bright eyes turned to the woman.
“Dancer.”
“I came here in such a hurry because I have something to tell you. “Forgive me…”
The dancer spoke in a pitiful voice, and the young man nodded.
I meant to say it quickly.
The dancer who saw this spoke carefully.
“I found the gatekeeper.”
That moment.
Pop.
The young man stopped moving.
At the same time, everything in the space stopped as if time had stopped.
Sound too.
Energy too.
Even the flowing wind.
Everything stopped.
“Kk…kkk….”
The only thing that could be heard inside was the young man’s laughter.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
The young man laughs as if he can’t bear it.
Every time, a crack appeared in the space.
“Where are you?”
I immediately forgot all the regrets I had just had.
Vertically torn pupils express a sense of intimidation.
The energy of the being spread everywhere.
“Where did you see the gatekeeper?”
Rattling.
The dancer’s body trembled at the energy the young man gave off.
I was so overcome with fear that I couldn’t even speak properly.
But I have to answer somehow.
“…a few days…a few days ago. “I observed energy from Mt. Taeseong.”
“Taeseongsan….”
It was a mountain not far from Hanam.
The young man who heard the words quickly nodded.
“Okay… I barely found it.”
We found a gatekeeper who had not been seen for decades.
‘…No, no.’
It would be correct to say that this revealed itself.
The young man who heard the words slowly stood up.
Wood clatter.
Every time I move my body, a sound of something breaking spreads out.
The young man opened and closed his hand repeatedly, looking disappointed.
‘It’s so insignificant. ‘This is the best thing for now.’
The human body is worse than dust compared to the main body.
However, there was nothing I could do for now.
Recovering the ‘body’.
Until you get the ‘energy’.
“Dancer.”
“yes. master.”
“Let’s go for a walk for a while. In the meantime, convey the message to Cheonan.”
“…All right.”
“and.”
After passing the dancer, the young man’s blood-red gaze turned to one wall.
The person who had been standing there from earlier had his eyes closed.
“Move slowly.”
youth.
At the words the blood demon spits out with a smile.
Sreuk.
“yes.”
The owner of the Pan family.
Peng Wujin opened his eyes and nodded.
