Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 698

This is closer to oral tradition and tales than history.
That’s the story.

A very distant past.

Around the time when a goblin missed his hometown and committed a sin.

Because of the sin he committed, the frame of the world was destroyed and the dimension was distorted.
Beings who broke the law began to pour out from within.

Rules break down with a split-second action.

The broken rules began to break down the laws established by the world.

As a result, countless lives were lost.

If you call it a punishment, it is meaningless.
It would be more correct to simply say it was an accident.

Yes, it was an accident.
Accidents committed due to ignorance.

one.
The situation that occurred due to the accident was only more serious.

-Kyaaa!!

-Say, save me!!

There was a lot of screaming.
The world was stained with blood.

-It’s a monster!

Unidentified beings appeared and chewed up and swallowed humans.
The world is colored with death.

The goblin who saw this had to shed tears with fire.
All I did was crush the world with my own hands.

The world was also angry.

It is not because innocent people died.

God was angry because the laws he had set were broken.

The established rules are broken and the world falls apart.
The world that saw it spoke.

There is no need for a broken world.
So, let’s start again.

That was the verdict the world ultimately made.

So the goblin thought.
I can’t go back to my world like this, and I have to just watch the world being destroyed.

What should I do?

The goblin thought again.

First of all, I have to close the door that was pouring out the beings.

They say we have to close the door and ask for mercy from the world.

You committed the sin yourself.
He asks for leniency for this.

With that thought in mind, the goblin finally closed the door.

Closing the door wasn’t difficult.

Closing it and enduring it was a different problem, but literally closing it wasn’t that difficult.

After closing the door, the goblin visited the world.
He says he will somehow resolve what he did, so please beg for mercy.

The moment I had hoped for so much.

Surprisingly, the world listened to the goblin’s wish.

Rather than erasing the world right away, I would give it a chance.

At the same time as saying this to the goblin, it causes one sin to be committed.
If the goblin accepts this, the world gives the goblin and the world a chance.

Those were the conditions.
Since the goblin had no choice in the first place, he accepted it without hesitation.

Fortunately, the world did not lie.

Like I said, I gave him a chance.

If there’s a problem.

The punishment that was said to be the condition given to goblins by the world was much crueler than expected.
Even if the goblin regrets it later.

The point was that I could never quit this sin on my own.

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

Crack-! Slurp-!

A feast of energy unfolding in front of you.
A silent flow, as if blackened, flutters in the air.

Even in the forest at night, the energy is darker.
I looked at the small lamp in that seemingly foreign scene.

He is wearing the familiar martial arts uniform of the old family, and his long black hair is flowing.

The eyes that were looking at me were as pretty as someone else’s.
The purple eyes inside make one think of the contradictory feeling of being both hateful and beautiful.

Heavenly Demon.

She frowned as she looked at the back of the woman who had been called a disaster in her previous life.

It is small and slender.

This is a back that looked so big in the past. Looking at it now, it was so small.

“What are you?”

When I asked in a disheveled voice, the Heavenly Demon, who had been glancing at me, turned her head again.

Then he looks straight ahead at her.
Standing in front of me was a man called my grandfather.

“Hmm.”

Although he was covered in flames and difficult to recognize, he took on a human form and called himself my grandfather.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I could tell just by looking at the resonance of the Nine Flame Fire Fighter.

That flame itself is not only the flame of Nine Flame Flower Rungong.

When I remember that he tried to take the Nine Flame Flower Ball himself from me, it becomes plausible that he is my grandfather.

‘I wonder how they were able to take this.’

As a result. I could clearly see that it was a very dangerous situation.

at that time.

-Gurgling.

The sound of grasshoppers came to my ears.
The sound that had stopped was starting to be heard.

The wind passes by my cheek.

Senses that had disappeared gradually return. What happened?

Did my grandfather lose his power?

Or, did something become distorted when the Heavenly Demon appeared?
Meanwhile, doubts arose.

“It did.”

My grandfather spoke as he looked at the Heavenly Demon that appeared.

“You were there. “I forgot about it for a while.”

The jerky nod reminds me of someone.
It was surprisingly similar to my behavior.

No, do I resemble him?

“The energy of the outside world. It’s been a while since I last saw you. “How have you been?”

“…”

Hearing his grandfather’s words, the Heavenly Demon stretched out his left hand.
OK.

Easy profit–!!!

The black energy floating in the air begins to gather in the hands of the Heavenly Demon.

As soon as I felt this, I felt a tingling sensation.
It’s an incredible energy.

The compressed and condensed energy gradually changed its shape at the Heavenly Demon’s fingertips, resembling a sword.

It is a power I know well.

It was something that the Heavenly Demon often used in his past life.

She never said or said the name of her power at the time.
In her political faction, she was given the unfamiliar title of Cheonma Shingeom (天魔神劍).

Well, it deserved to be called a divine sword. Because with one swing of that sword, the terrain was changed.

Saaaa-.

The sword was soon completed.

The Heavenly Demon aimed the tip of the sword at his grandfather.
And says:

“Live.”

“…”

“This is not the place for you.”

“haha.”

My grandfather laughs at Cheonma’s words.

“This is so….”

That moment.

Ugh-!

“Tsk…!”

My heart starts pounding like crazy.
This is because Guyeomhwaryungong, who was brought back from his grandfather, suffered a seizure.

hot.
The base spreads throughout the body through the bloodstream.

Cheeeeeek-!

Because of this, more and more heat was radiating from my body, which was quite painful.

“How dare something that is nothing more than dregs at best dare to command me to be a guest?”

My grandfather seemed to be quite stimulated for some reason, and his voice was filled with anger.

Are there fireworks in response?

“Anyone on earth can tell me to leave. At least not you.”

Bruises.

As I took a step, the air around me suddenly shook violently.
Whoop-!

At the same time, the temperature rises.
My skin was burning hot as if there was a fire in the forest.

“An abomination.”

Kuuuu–!!

I’m struggling to breathe due to the boiling energy.
I tried to control my wild energy.

Still, I don’t listen.

‘It really sucks.’

I gritted my teeth.

Meanwhile, my grandfather was slowly approaching Cheonma.
In response, the Heavenly Demon also slowly moves her sword.

Are you trying to start a fight?

‘Small sickness.’

In a ridiculous situation, only swear words come out.

The guy named Jobu suddenly appears and is like that, and Guyeom Haryungong is suddenly shaking with itch.

The Heavenly Demon, whom he hated so much, raised his sword to block his grandfather.

Are you trying to protect me?
Heavenly Demon?

‘What is this?’

Damn it really.

It’s literally fucking terrible.
Could the situation be more shitty than this?

Ugh.

He curled his fist.

It hit my chest hard.

Wow–!!!

Wow!

“hmm.”

“…!”

The Heavenly Demon turns around at the harsh sound of the wave.
It hit so hard that the wind pressure containing the air pressure burst out of my body.

“Cough.”

Fighting.

Blood flows.
I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.

“Wow, fuck… it hurts so bad.”

Maybe it was because I was in a hurry, but I couldn’t control it.
He stroked his chest with his hand. Fucked. This broke his ribs.

For some reason, I sigh, and even that hurts.

I should have hit him gently.

The good news was that after hitting him like that, Gooyeomhwaryungong stopped convulsing.

This is better than having his ribs blown out.
Thanks to you, I can now move around a bit.

The two look at this place as if surprised.
Ignoring that, I also walked forward.

As he walked, he grabbed the Cheonma’s shoulder and pulled him back.

“…!”

The pulled Heavenly Demon widened its eyes, but did not look up.

“Get out. “Don’t intervene.”

It is quite a family event.
It was not a situation for outsiders to intervene.

As I take a breath and move forward, my grandfather also reacts as if he is surprised.

“How did you escape?”

Attack of the heart.
They look at me strangely as I leave there.

“Maybe because I became an outsider, I was able to control my flame for a little while.”

“Why is this fire there?”

Tsk.

I spat on the floor. Everything that was red was blood.

“It’s my fire.”

This is my flame that I nurtured through a lifetime of hard work, nurturing and comforting.

“Look who’s counting. “I went through so much trouble to be able to use this.”

“haha.”

I asked my grandfather, hiding my creaking body.

“As I said, the gentleman called grandfather is trying to take away something from his grandchild even though he cannot give it to him. “Did you get older with your asshole?”

Etiquette has already been thrown away.
If the other person didn’t respect me, I didn’t have to.

The flame can be recovered.

The sense of heterogeneity that came from there was annoying, but I didn’t want to lower my head.

“If you want to take it, take it.”

“Oh my. “I seem to be misunderstanding something, but I can take as many seeds as I want…”

“Then all you have to do is search around here.”

“…!”

When I announce my death, my grandfather closes his mouth.

“what?”

“If you take it, you will die.”

“…”

I knew it.
My grandfather’s attitude changes when I say this, risking his life.

It was as expected.

‘It looks like you need me, right?’

My grandfather needed me.

I don’t know if it’s my body, me, or the boy who will become the head of the small family.
The point is that it is not a situation where death is an option.

“…under….”

The grandfather hears this and lets out a laugh.
When he saw that, he acted immediately.

“Do you think I can’t do it?”

He nodded, spoke, and grabbed his neck with his hand.

“If you’re going to take it, take it.”

“…”

It loses its spark.

My grandfather and his father met, and I don’t know what they talked about, but they mentioned a one-year grace period.
This means that in the meantime, the Nine-Yeom Hwaryun Ball cannot be used.

If so.

‘Everything is a mess.’

Everything you planned is ruined.

It is a plan created by calculating even the level I have achieved.

Here, it meant that if Guyeomhwaryungong was sealed, that would be the end.

‘That can’t be possible.’

If that happens, I would rather die here.
When I said that with that intention, my grandfather stopped for a moment and looked at me.

We share a look without saying anything.
It is ambiguous to even call it a gaze.

Because it was just a spark.

There was a bit of silence like that.

“…haha.”

My grandfather burst out laughing.

“Ha ha ha ha ha-!”

Ugh-!!

Every time I burst out laughing, the air shook.
It is not pressure of energy.

Something is subtly different.

“That’s fun. “That child raised his child in a fun way.”

If it is that child, does he mean the father?

So is it an insult to say that I had fun growing up there? It seemed like an insult to me.

“I never thought you would try to negotiate with me with your life.”

“You use nice words when you talk about negotiations. “To be precise, I am being threatened and I am struggling.”

It’s funny, you’re clicking your tongue.

“This part is exactly like my father.”

The grandfather reacts as if something similar had happened.

Then he looked at me and said.

“good night. Given your will, I will not take the flame.”
He declared that he would not take Guyeom Hwaryun Gong. It was fortunate.

He didn’t breathe a single sigh of relief.

“but.”

Because my grandfather’s words were not finished.

“Even so, the period is only one year.”

“…What’s in there? “Come to Xinjiang?”

“okay. To be precise, it should come after you take your seat.”

“why me?”

“Because that is our business.”
Hearing his words, his face crumpled.

Fuck you.

“What is there that I have to go there?”

“Door.”

“door?”

“Guard the door. “That is what we must do.”

As my grandfather said, it is a door.
What does that mean? I didn’t think deeply.

Because I didn’t have enough time to think deeply.

“It’s a year.”

My grandfather again mentioned the period as if to remind me.

“Before that time passes. “Get where you belong.”

Climb up Sojiazhou and find Xinjiang.
That was what my grandfather wanted.

So he asked.

“What if I don’t do it?”

What happens if I don’t do it?

Let’s ask about this.

“If you feel like it, do it.”
My grandfather spoke to me in a casual tone.

“If you can.”

“…yes.”

Those were even more shitty words than telling me not to do that.

No matter what you do, you can’t escape.
Such emotions were clearly evident in my grandfather’s words.

He was grinding his teeth and clenching his fists.

“Also, I hope you take care of ‘that’ too.”

My grandfather’s eyes were not on me, but on the Heavenly Demon.

“It’s a precious key to us.”

“A key?”

“Yes, the key that will lock the door so you can never open it again.”

I frowned.
A key? Heavenly Demon?

“You said you entrusted this guy to Gu Hee-bi. “What is your intention?”

The grandfather brought the Cheonma and entrusted it to Gu Huifei.
Where did he find it and why did he do it? I couldn’t help but ask.

Does the fact that your grandfather just mentioned the Heavenly Demon as the key mean that the Gu family’s karma and the Heavenly Demon are related?

In response to the question, my grandfather nodded, as was my habit.

“It is a matter of necessity. “It’s right to put valuable things where you can see them.”

By necessity.
What I’m more concerned about is the backstory.

Place it in a visible place.
So I left it to Gu Hee-bi. Those words were annoying.

“I saw your face today just as I wanted, so let’s go.”

His grandfather cut him off and looked somewhere.
It was empty space.

“It seems like a guest has come to visit me.”

As long as you keep your eyes there. My grandfather kept talking to me.

“Oh my. Remember well. “As long as there is a spark, I will continue to watch over you.”

so.

“See you next time.”

My grandfather said so.

Hwareuk-!

It instantly turned into a flame and disappeared.

“…”

Only the place where he stood under the forest with thick grass is charred black.

As soon as he was gone, he bit his lip, feeling the cold air.

“It really sucks.”

It was absurd that he came to me so suddenly, but he spat out his words and disappeared.

‘what? A decent crazy guy?’

Paezon shivered as he remembered his grandfather whom he was talking about.

‘Fuck that’s polite. ‘He’s just crazy.’

What do you think is polite? If that’s polite, then the world is no different from being crazy.

Now that it was up to me, it felt like something I had been putting off had suddenly been brought forward.

‘one year?’

I thought about the period my grandfather gave me.

‘I wonder if it will just jump out.’

It has reached a level where there is no need to be tied down to the old family.

It was a point where ending bloodshed was more important than carrying on the karma, so all I had to do was give it a go and get out.

[If you feel like it, do it.]

Something his grandfather said came to mind and swirled around in his head.

He was convinced that he would never be able to escape. It was annoying and made me feel sick.

“after….”

So, I wash my face dry with one hand and sigh.

Strong-!

He clicked his tongue at the pain he felt in his chest.
It was because his ribs were sore from earlier.

‘At this rate, it will hurt for three days.’

Considering the increased playback speed, maybe three days.

It seemed like that would be enough to cure it.

It’s okay to leave it alone, but just in case, let’s find faith.

With that thought in mind, I turned around.

He turned around and was met with purple eyes.
right. I had forgotten for a moment that I was with the Cheonma earlier.

“…”

The Cheonma was holding my shoulder with one of his hands and looking at me with an unknown expression.

Why are you holding that shoulder?

‘Is this the place I caught earlier?’

The location where I was told to get out of the way.
Maybe he was holding on too strongly at the time and was doing that.

‘I didn’t grab it that hard.’

I was staring at it, wondering if it was going to kill me.

“store?”

The Heavenly Demon spoke to me.

“I’m going?”

“uh. “It will go out.”

Originally, I had come to see Princess Gu and the Heavenly Demon, but I didn’t want to stay like this any longer.

Let’s go back.
I felt like I needed to go back to my place to think and get some rest.

The moment you try to walk away while ignoring the Heavenly Demon.

closely.

The Heavenly Demon grabbed my arm and made me stop.

“what.”

Let’s glare at the Heavenly Demon with an annoyed face.

“rice.”

Cheonma told me something unfamiliar.

“…what?”

“Eat and go.”

“What kind of bullshit is this?”

Why do I eat with you?
It is obvious that you will feel sick while eating.

If something like this happened right away, would you be able to eat it?

I’m about to shake it off and go because my appetite is about to disappear.

“My sister will be waiting for you.”

I had to stop before I knew it because of Cheonma’s words.

“Why sister?”

“Because I said I was going to pick you up.”

You mentioned me when you left?

“…her.”

“sister. I did something delicious. let’s go.”

Cheonma pulled me in, mentioning Gu Hee-bi.

I wanted to go back immediately because of Cheonma’s actions, but I had no choice but to relax my feet after hearing the words about Gu Hui-bi.

‘It worked out better.’

Let’s end this while we’re at it.
I closed my eyes thinking that.

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

A midslope made of tall rocks.

An old man was sitting there.

I was only wearing my bottoms and my upper body was naked.
Although he looked like an old man, his body was full of muscles and scars.

Lush white hair and wrinkled face.
A combative body that does not suit him.

also.

The long horns on his forehead suggest that he is not an ordinary human.

“…”

After a while, the old man opened his closed eyes.

Burning red eyes are visible.
The old man, who opened his eyes quietly, rolled his eyes like that and suddenly smiled.

“Cluck.”

It looks like he’s trying to hold back his laughter, but it’s not that easy.

The reaction was clear, as if they had seen an interesting sight.

How long has it been since then?
It was something that had happened for the first time in a very long time in the old man’s life.

The old man was laughing like that for a while.

Bruises.

Someone appeared behind the old man.

“Looks like something interesting is happening.”
The other person asked while looking at the old man’s back.

The old man erased his smile and looked at the person who appeared.
The smile from before was gone, and only the creepy eyes remained of the old man.

“It was a deeply emotional time.”

I already know that the other person has appeared.
Because of that, I had to quickly retrieve the flame.

“The dogs of the world are impeding this.”

The young man who heard the words looks at the old man and says.

“I am sorry. However, this is also an urgent situation.”

Despite the old man’s anger, the young man smiled without any hesitation.

“Nice to meet you. gatekeeper. “I really missed you.”

The old man spoke at the laughter.

“I’m already on my way to meet your dregs.”

Even in the words of an old man, a young man.

The blood demon did not erase his smile.

He just had fun.

“I’ve long since forgotten such trivial things.”

What is energy and what is body?
Nothing was important to the blood demon now.

“There is something I want to ask more than that.”

Blood Demon, or rather Dok Gojun, asked the old man with blood in his eyes.

“gatekeeper.”

He also erased his smile.

“Where is the gate to the divine world?”

That moment.

Grumbling—!!

As the question continued, the old man’s horns burned red.

Dok Go-Jun’s pupils were torn vertically and radiated light.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

An explosion exploded on the spot.
