At a time when Tang So-yeol was still able to count the number of my deaths.
The King of Cancer spoke to Tang So-yeol, who was covered in cold sweat.
“Do you know what you are most afraid of?”
Lord of the night. King of assassins.
Tang So-yeol raised his head at the question of the man closest to death. What are you most afraid of?
“…is it death?”
death. Facing the end of life.
When asked if that might be the case, the King of Darkness maintains his characteristic expressionless expression and speaks.
“Wrong.”
The punishment for wrong answers was harsh.
Suddenly! Tang So-yeol’s head is cut off by the dagger wielded by the King of Darkness.
Tuk-!
The moment her fallen neck touched the ground.
“Huh…!”
I wake up again as if everything was an illusion.
“Huh…huh. Hmm…!”
The King of Cancer speaks as he looks at Tang So-yeol sobbing in fear.
“It’s still not enough.”
“sleep…!”
Starting with those words, he died a hundred more times.
Afterwards, Tang Xiaoyeol’s expression disappeared. I was no longer sobbing in fear.
but.
“I will ask again. “What do you think you are most afraid of?”
The answer is still unknown. I wasn’t afraid of death. In other words, death is not the answer.
Then what on earth is it? Even then, Tang Xiaoyeol was unable to answer.
“Not yet.”
The Dark King nodded.
Suddenly-.
Death occurred again.
How many more times did I die?
Now I can’t even count them.
I think I counted up to five hundred times. From then on, I didn’t count.
It was just a repetition of questions and answers.
“Do you know?”
I answered that I didn’t know. I experienced death again.
“Do you know?”
I think I vaguely understand. However, because it was not perfect, it continued to lead to death.
“Do you know?”
I don’t know the answer, but I learned several other things.
Where does a person have to be stabbed to die immediately? On the other hand, where should I stab myself so that I only feel pain without dying?
I didn’t study.
I was able to memorize it on my own through countless repetitions. However, I still couldn’t answer the King’s question.
The number of times is countless. At the time when the dull death became nothing.
“It’s a shame.”
The King of Darkness said something different to Tang Xiaoyeol in the same voice as before.
“It’s slower than expected.”
“…”
Does this mean that he is slow to give an answer?
Tang Xiaoyeol, with his eyes wide open, looked at the king of cancer.
The Dark King has an expressionless face, but there is a strange sense of disappointment inside.
“Are you going to give up?”
“…No…No…. You…can….”
The King of Darkness often urged Tang Xiaoyeol to give up. Each time, the Party Soyeol answered that it could be done. I can’t give up even on this.
All you have left is this opportunity. If I were to lose even this, I would really be better off dead.
“hmm.”
After hearing Tang So-yeol’s answer, King Am seemed lost in thought for a moment.
“good night.”
He nodded slightly and said.
“Just ten times from now. “Unless you find the answer in it.”
The Dark King’s dagger pierced Tang Xiaoyeol’s heart.
Since the pain is no longer a problem, Tang Xiaoyeol slowly begins to lose consciousness again.
“I will kill Ouyang Chen, whom you cherish so much.”
“…!”
In the meantime, Tang So-yeol is caught by a voice that penetrates his ear.
“Kruk….”
Blood flows. My eyes widened in death.
“Now…what…”
“You better find the answer. “There aren’t many opportunities.”

Even with Tang So-yeol’s words, the King of Darkness seemed like he wouldn’t listen. That’s how hell began.
“Do you know?”
I’ve already tried all the answers I could. What more is left? In this situation, there was little the party could do.
“The former Confucius is an unrelated person…! why!”
“That’s not the answer.”
He died with a dagger stuck in his head.
“Please…please…don’t touch him. Well, I’ll find the answer somehow… Oh, or I’ll do anything. please…!”
I tried to appease him, and I even held his leg and prayed. Every time he did that, the answer he gave was the same.
“I will kill you…! “If you touch that person, I will kill you!”
He viciously swung his dagger and rushed at the King of Darkness. As expected, the result is the same.
“I said I was right! “I’m sure I’m afraid of this–!!”
Nothing works. I used eight opportunities like that.
So the ninth time.
“…Huh…Huh….”
I try my best to come up with an answer. It is neither death nor despair. It was neither poverty nor sacrifice.
So what is it? I become impatient. It didn’t matter if he died dozens or hundreds of times.
But he can’t. He shouldn’t have been involved in this.
Woooooo!
Blood flows from Tang So-yeol’s clenched fist. I was gripping it so tightly that my fingernails were digging into my flesh.
‘Please, please, please…please!’
I don’t feel any pain. Tang Xiaoyeol looked at the King of Cancer with bloodshot eyes.
I had to find an answer. What is the answer? What is the answer that will satisfy the King of Darkness?
What on earth are you most afraid of?
Party dissension continued to rage. In the meantime, the King of Darkness gradually approached Tang So-yeol.
I got down on my knees. And then he makes eye contact with Tang So-yeol.
“Do you know?”
A question you’ve probably heard thousands of times. Also, same question this time.
Tang Xiaoyeol’s eyes trembled like crazy.
This time I couldn’t answer in the end. No matter what answer I gave, it seemed like it wouldn’t reach him.
“Yeah, it looks like you don’t know.”
The Dark King begins to move the dagger slowly again.
Tang Xiaoyeol thinks as he sees the dagger slowly reaching out. What are you afraid of now?
Neither death nor pain. Are you afraid of losing Ouyang Chen? right.
afraid.
If so, what you are afraid of is losing someone precious to you. Otherwise.
‘Am I afraid of not being able to do anything while losing him?’
While he fades away, I am unable to provide any help. While losing him, I can’t do anything.
Isn’t that what I’m afraid of? The moment when that thought suddenly occurred to me.
Stand tall!
The king’s dagger that was about to cut off Tang Xiaoyeol’s head also stopped.
“I will ask again.”
I hear a question. Tang Xiaoyeol, who was shaking, looks at him.
“Do you know?”
“…”
Same voice, same question. Fear of loss. Tang Xiaoyeol, who was weighed down by that, heard that question and blurted it out without even realizing it.
“Powerlessness….”
Helplessness in being unable to do anything.
As he spoke, tears flowed from one eye that had not yet turned green.
Yes, what you are afraid of is helplessness. Neither death nor pain. Just a miserable feeling built up inside.
That would be it.
“hmm.”
After hearing that, the King of Darkness retrieves the dagger he was holding.
“Is that your fear?”
Tang Xiaoyeol’s eyes widened at the words of the King of Darkness.
“Is this…is this the right answer?”
This is a situation I don’t understand.
If it’s helplessness, it’s something I’ve already said when I’ve died thousands of times.
I must have spit it out several times. I’ve probably tried it with a similar meaning, and I’ve even spit it out as is.
However, at that time, the King of Cancer said that it was not the answer and killed Tang So-yeol. Why are you leaving now?
In response to Tang So-yeol’s question, King Am said:
“Spitting it out without knowing it and being aware of it are different.”
What was recognized and what was not. What is the difference there? I was not aware of the party fever at that time.
By the time she understood what the Dark King had said, her eyes had turned green.
It was only then that King Am allowed Tang Xiaoyeol to descend the mountain.
******************
“What… what is it?”
“What is that?”
The audience is buzzing about what happened on the off-stage. It was a few seconds before Tangmun’s poisonous baton and Yutangeom began to dance together.
Everyone is taken aback by the black film that suddenly fills their stomach. What is that? Is it martial arts? Because the identity was unknown, even the referee outside the off-stage repeatedly wondered whether he should intervene or not.
at that time.
Saaa-!!
The black film that lasted for about a minute disappeared. The two people inside are revealed again.
“her.”
“hmm?”
Those who saw this reacted as if they were surprised.
The two were still on the non-stage.
Surprisingly, there are no scratches on either side. Was there no fighting at all? That was the point when I had that question.
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, he fell to his knees with blood streaming from the side of the grenade sword.
“what-!?”
“The grenade sword fell?”
“Like that…?”
Everyone was surprised.
This is an unexpected situation. Of course, everyone expected Dokbong to be defeated, but instead, Dokbong just stared at the grenade sword.
“Cough…cough…cough!”
The grenade sword continues to cough up blood and pour out blood. There were no external wounds, but Yutangeom was frowning as to what was so painful.
Tang So-yeol opens his mouth towards such a stray sword.
“Only four times.”
“…!”
At Tang Su-yeol’s words, Yu Tan-geom’s face was horrified.
“At most, I could only endure it four times.”
“Yes…four bitches!”
“Don’t be harsh. “I held on to him and begged for him, so I felt sorry for him and even let him go, right?”
“What kind of magic did you use?”
“well.”
Tang So-yeol burst into laughter at the scream of the stray sword. Yutangeom’s body stiffens when he sees that smile.
What have you been through just now?
When I tried to remember, my body started shaking uncontrollably. It must have happened just before, but the memory was strangely blurry.
All that remains is a tingling fear. Yutangeom was not properly aware of his condition.
In that situation.
“Come to your senses. Seniors.”
Tang Xiaoyeol spoke to him.
“It wouldn’t be fun if it ended like that. I watched it because I couldn’t even show it to you. “Just relax.”
Her smile was beautiful, but Yutangeom no longer felt that she was pretty.
Vigilance is heightened. Rather than speculation, fear began to surround me.
“…you monster…monstrous bitch.”
A swear word uttered without realizing it. However, Tang So-yeol seemed unimpressed.
“Thank you for the compliment. So, you’re not going to do any more?”
Wow!
At the sarcastic words, Yutangeom’s sword became energized. An unknown fear takes over his mind in an instant, but the stray sword is still a warrior of Hwagyeong.
I could have suppressed those feelings as much as I wanted. I barely came to my senses and spoke to her.
“I don’t know what trick you did, but it didn’t work. “Four years are over.”
If it had worked, he should have ended it on the spot.
If she didn’t do that, there would be no hope for that girl. Thinking like that, the grenade sword radiated strong energy.
“Whoop!”
A clear and refreshing sword energy permeates the sword. As it was, the stray sword swung at Tang Xiaoyeol.
Paaaaaa—!!!
Elastic ratio.
A beautiful bet made of swords and rivers quickly flies to Tang Xiaoye. It was a skill that gave him the nickname ‘Greek Sword’.
Unlike the beautiful appearance of a crescent moon flying, the destructive power contained within is on a different level.
Kwakagagak-!
A slash flew across the non-stage. Tang Xiaoyeol, who saw this, shook his head.
It was an action that reminded me of someone.
and.
Woe!
“…!”
Before the slash hits, the Tang Soyeol Shin Young disappears from the sight of the grenade sword.
‘what…?’
Where on earth has he disappeared to in this empty space? Yutangeom is in a hurry to find Tang Xiaoyeol’s friend.
“really.”
Tang Xiaoyeol’s sweet voice came from right in front of me. No, a little lower than the front.
It’s your lower body.
The grenade sword immediately looks down and tries to move the sword again.
“The next person should also use it. “What if you make the off-stage like this?”
Rather than that, the party affiliation took precedence. After spitting out her words, she swung her arm and stuck her fist into the side of the grenade sword.
Kuuuung-!
“Turn it off!?”
Even though I was wearing a self-defense device, the attack came deep into my waist.
Paaaang-!
Unable to block the entire impact, the impact exploded and Grenade Sword’s body flew away.
Kwaang-! The grenade sword rolls on the floor with a tremendous sound.
Tung-! Tung-!
My posture collapsed. I wonder if Yutangeom, forgetting the pain, is somehow trying to correct his posture.
A small foot was already flying in front of his eyes.
Bah! The head of the stray sword rises with a sharp pain.
“Wow!”
The self-defense equipment breaks off along with the teeth. It was a force too strong to be said to come from a delicate body.
Shaky vision. Beyond that, you can see the movements of Tang So-yeol.
thud-! Thump thump-! Thump thump-!
A small fist hits Yutangeom’s body.
Quick and quick action. Power seeped into his fist, and a series of tremendous sounds were heard.
When the grenade sword moves its legs to run away, it hits its thigh to block it. If he tried to swing his sword, he would hit his shoulder to block the movement.
It’s not about predicting the route and striking in advance. Clearly, Tang Xiaoyeol’s departure was slower than the movement of the stray sword.
But how is this possible?
‘This…this…this….’
Confirming the reason, Yutangeom’s world falls apart.
The logic was simple.
It’s really simply because the sugar heat is faster than the grenade sword.
And much more.
There is no need to do anything while anticipating actions. Just a quicker response.
Because of this, Yotangeom had to be beaten all over his body as if he were a scarecrow.
Thump thump thump-! Thump thump-! What’s even scarier is that the sugar heat controls your strength.
“Ugh!”
So that the grenade sword does not collapse easily. Only moderate force is applied to prevent fainting.
Even to other people, it looks like he is playing with it.
Yutangeom, one of the top 100 masters of the central region. He is being used like a toy by Dokbong, a late Jisoo.
No one in the audience could react properly to that scene.
“…Poison, poison…how…”
“I can’t believe it…what kind of situation is that?”
It’s a dream-like sight. Also, if it’s a dream, it’s probably a nightmare.
A long time passes like that. The constant screams of grenade swords exploding and the sound of bullets hitting his body stopped.
A situation filled with silence. On the non-stage, Yutangeom, who was almost covered in blood, was barely holding on as Tang Soyeol grabbed him by the hair.
“Huh…Huh….”
Grumble. Drip. The blood flowing from the grenade sword wets the floor of the off-stage.
Tang So-yeol, who was watching this quietly, let go of the hair he was holding.
thud-! dump-! The grenade sword that was holding on fell to the floor.
And then the party tyranny tramples on his face.
“…Blood was all over it. “Indecent.”
There was blood on the back of my hand. Tang Xiaoyeol casually took out a cloth from his arms and wiped it off.
“Huh…Kruk…Huh….”
The grenade sword groaned under my feet. Tang So-yeol chuckled after checking that.
“It finally suits me now.”
The sight of him crawling on the floor looks particularly good on him.
I didn’t like Yutangeom’s face at all, but now I’m starting to like it.
He is exhausted and exhausted and can barely breathe. Tang So-yeol moved his foot away from the grenade sword and lowered his posture.
He squats down, closes the distance between him and the grenade sword, and whispers in his ear.
“From now on… I will live my life exactly according to the theme. Don’t try to covet something that doesn’t fit your grade. “Okay?”
As I spoke, I lightly stroked his face with my white fingertips. At that touch, Yutangeom’s body trembled as if in a fit.
“…”
“…”
By the looks of it, the dance was over. However, no cheering was heard.
All that can be heard is the small breathing sound of the grenade sword.
Tang So-yeol soon falls away from him and starts walking, and only then does the referee flinch and react.
“Uh…uhh.”
Seeing that, the party’s ruling party did not even listen to the results. Now I had somewhere else to go.
A young man looking towards us from the entrance.
He looked back and waved his hand enthusiastically.
“Gongjaniyim! I won!! Please praise me! Hehehe!”
Unlike the way he brutally beat up his opponent, he had a pure and bright smile.
