Chapter 713
The wait wasn’t too long.
The moment when I moved the survivors to one place and with the help of Jeokcheongang, the Beast Cat King struggled to lift his eyelids.
Deuk. deaf*
change has begun.
That’s me too, Jeokcheon robbery. It was a resonant that even the members of Baekcheon, who were not yet in good health, and the Beast Cat King, who had barely come to their senses, could feel it.
Whoa ah.
space is distorted The darkness that had been wriggling as if it were alive stopped moving, and the wind began to flow in one direction.
Beyond the thick darkness that swallowed the guardian spirit, through the crevices of the cliff that opened its huge mouth like an ancient beast.
I could see and hear clearly at the same time.
– Aaaaaang!
With a roar that echoes like an echo
A ray of light that illuminates the darkness and becomes clearer.
,This… …
I looked at the light with dazed eyes. No, everyone in this room was the same.
Survivors who suffered minor and major injuries forgot to even groan.
The Beast Tomb King, who had just regained consciousness, stretched out his hand toward the light that lit up the darkness alone in the distance with a bewildered face.
A light that is warmer than sunlight and has clear energy like water.
Just when the silence came, as if the world had stopped, the low voice of the Jeokcheongang pierced my ears.
“come.”
“… …
And with that one word, the stopped time began to flow.
oh oh oh Paaang!
huge explosion.
Everything condensed and burst out all at once, sweeping everywhere. With a deafening roar, an invisible shockwave crashes like a car.
Beyond the raging gale, the cry of the enemy Cheongang was heard.
“careful… …
Wow!
The wind, or rather the storm, swallowed the sound.
A distant flash of darkness and light obscured the vision, and a huge shockwave struck and blew everything within range.
but
‘now.’
Realizing that the time has come, I
It went down at an angle.
The fire that soars through the transparent spear blade burns the wind. The flames that penetrated the invisible but clearly existing texture collided with the shock wave.
No, offset.
Aaaaaang! Hard!
The earth shook with a roar. The impact was so strong that the two firmly rooted legs were pushed out.
Like me, Jeokcheongang, who stepped forward to protect the survivors, rolled up his sleeves.
Hwareuk. Pew!
A deterioration kidney that has reached its peak.
Unlike mine, the two Fire Dragons, already completed, raged ferociously and bit the storm.
The flames that surged around dozens of radii engulfed the wind, consuming the wind and turning countless fragments of wreckage that were shot like dark weapons by the shockwave into ashes.
Jiji Jijik!
Acrid smoke and steam fill the air everywhere. In a world that is all gray, I stretched out my hand, letting out the breath I had been holding back.
Fain!
Compressed air bursts out, pushing out smoke and water vapor.
And beyond the slowly disappearing sight, the dispersing darkness and the beginning of collapse awaited everyone.
cooong. Koo Goo Goo!
It’s collapsing. Two hundred or so huge cliffs.
The sight of large and small strangely shaped rocks filling the sky and pouring down was overwhelming enough to be frightening, and the sunlight that began to shine on them signified one fact.
‘A crack… … Closed.’
finished.
The long and fierce battle has finally come to an end. It averted a catastrophe that would have cost hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of people.
But why? Feelings of emptiness were greater than joy.
Perhaps it is because he knows better than anyone that there are still unfinished tasks left.
belt ring.
– [Rift] has been closed.
– [Magi] will disappear.
– The power of [God Stone] purifies the energy contaminated by demonic energy.
– A sudden quest, [Sacrifice and Rest] has been created. You cannot decline the quest.
I suddenly reached out my hand at the system notification in my ear.
The darkness that struggled painfully like a living creature in the air dissipates between my fingers.
The sunlight shining through the dark clouds that were slowly dissipating was warm, and a few lines of short text were written on the translucent hologram window floating above it.
First time.
The fact that the quest description was so short. The quest limit, which always had three letters in my name, was not limited to anyone.
Maybe the system is also aware of his sacrifice.
The choice of a fallen guardian spirit that sacrificed itself from an existence that would not be lacking even if called a divine beast.

that buck
I advanced, breaking through the darkness that was blown away by the wind along with the ashes.
A sense of someone’s presence was conveyed between the quiet steps of the Jeokcheon River and the countless oddly shaped rocks that were constantly collapsing even at this moment.
no, it looked
[Lv.155 Mutated Guardian Spirit]
Even in the dark, the hair that shone silver, and the blue-white eyes that were as clear as the pond in the holy land, were now dyed black.
Fangs that had grown twice as long flashed at us.
– Krrr. tomb.
A low cry of ferocity. that
A movement like a flash of light that started following Rigo.
Whee-a-a-a-aek!
Dozens of streets are erased along with the blurry new model, and blood-soaked forepaws step on the ground and soar.
Papapat.
At that moment, Jeokcheongang and I unleashed a blow with all our might towards the huge torso that cast a shadow over our heads.
Remembering the request he gave before leaving
‘Kill me. Without the slightest hesitation.’
And we kept that promise.
Shiiik, seokkeok!
* * *
It was somewhere very deep and cold. Unable to penetrate even a single point of light and unable to feel even the slightest warmth, he was lying there crouched down. Feeling the energy of death that is about to come or has already come.
And at some point, I suddenly felt the warmth and opened my eyes.
no. It was a heat that could not be called warmth, and what was waiting for him in the blurry vision was someone with a familiar face.
“Jintae… … kyung.”
A cracked voice escapes from between the lips.
Jin Tae-gyeong, a young man who stared blankly at the white statue that finally opened his eyes, responded calmly.
“okay.”
And with that one word, Baeksang knew that everything was over.
Maybe it was because of the sunlight shining over Jin Tae-kyung’s shoulder.
‘okay. That’s what happened after all.’
A brain murmur resounding in the heart. Baeksang looked at the blue sky where the dark clouds had disappeared.
It was a truly pitiful thing. He lost everything he had hoped for, but rather than despair, he felt empty.
“What happened to Namcheon Mahu?”
The answer that came back was short.
“He is dead.”
“The rift must have disappeared too.”
“… … okay.”
Jin Tae-gyeong’s head moves with a voice filled with hesitation. Where his gaze rested for a moment, a huge tiger lay down.
No, at this moment, what was reflected in the white statue’s eyes were the corpses of countless animals and humans.
“Let’s ask one thing.”
Jin Tae-gyeong’s voice, which sank deeply, continued.
“Did you know from the beginning that this would happen?”
Baeksang looked at the corpses filling the four directions with empty eyes. And he answered.
“okay. I knew.”
“… …
Awesome. Jin Tae-gyeong glared at Baeksang. The white statue did not avoid the gaze of the flames pouring down.
“Exactly, a few months ago,
I found out after receiving a letter from Jungwon.”
The letter was from Hanam, and included a series of events in Hobuk in detail, along with a proposal to join the soon-to-be-born Murim Alliance.
“Then I realized. Why did Amcheon reach out to the barbarians who belonged to the outside world instead of the central court?
“Then knowing that… …
“I followed orders. Because I have already become a monster, not a human.”
In ten years, even rivers and mountains change
did. Sometimes earthquakes tear down mountains, and raging floods twist rivers.
Baeksang became a monster who lost his mind as he spent more than 40 years in the midst of earthquakes and floods.
The sadness of losing your only child. And with a vengeance on the people who lost their children.
But that wasn’t all.
“After the Great War of Jeongma, I hated the demons more than anyone else. If Joongwon was an unforgivable renegade, they were enemies to be killed.”
Hearing Baeksang’s words, Jin Tae-gyeong let out a laugh.
Amcheon and Maqiao are trees with one root, only the trunk is different. If he hated Madou, he couldn’t stick with Amcheon who killed his child.
However, Baeksang joined hands with Namcheon Mahu and caused a disaster.
Amcheon aided in opening the rift, and even though he knew that many deaths would follow, he finally issued a general mobilization order and drew 10,000 warriors and beasts to the inner palace.
In fact, to be offered as a living sacrifice.
“This stupid bastard is saying that now… …
The boiling voice did not continue until the end.
For some reason, Baeksang licked his blood-soaked lips at the sight of Jin Tae-kyung, who was suddenly speechless.
“okay. There was something more important to me than hatred, more than anything else.”
That was the moment. The image of someone passed through Jin Tae-gyeong’s mind.
The reason why those eyes revealed above the mask felt familiar, as if we had met somewhere.
“… … Baekhui (白輝)
It’s not what Jin Tae-kyung said.
Baeksang raised his blurry eyes and looked at the figure approaching from afar. The Beast Tomb King approached right in front of me despite the Jeokcheon River’s refusal to move closer with a staggering step, as if moaning.
“Is that child alive?”
The Baeksang nodded weakly, (That was enough for the Beast Tomb King.
he knew What kind of existence that child was to Baeksang, and what he could do for a child with only one agenda.
That’s why I was sadder than anyone else, and I couldn’t help but be angry.
“Why, why didn’t you tell me? why!”
“The palace… … I didn’t want to let you die.”
U
“And the Whigs must have been lost again.”
Memories of the past flashed in Baeksang’s pupils.
On the day of his first encounter with darkness, he flatly refused Namcheon Mahu’s proposal to hold hands.
It wasn’t until I heard that the child I thought was dead was alive.
“I accepted Namcheonmahu’s offer, and I believed in his promise to save Hwia once all the marriages were over.”
believed No, he had no choice but to suppress his disbelief.
To reunite with my one and only child
, because there was no other way.
After that, whenever his heart was shaken, he went to the Southern Demon Queen. With his life saved by dark magicians, he stood to see the face of his son who was in a deep sleep.
“But at the same time I knew. What I was doing, how many people would die because of this choice.”
So he made hundreds of thousands.
Not for yourself, but for someone else. With the hope that he will prevent this calamity.
“that… … It was something I couldn’t do.”
Parents do not kill their children, even if children kill their parents.
Baeksang was the father of a child. Even if he went back dozens or hundreds of times, his choice would be the same.
Cool.
The white statue, vomited blood, raised its hazy eyes and looked at the Beast Tomb King.
At this moment, memories of one of the saddest and happiest days in his life passed by in his eyes.
‘okay. That was the day.’
Baeksang cried the day he lost his beloved wife and gained a child whom he would love more than anyone else.
I sat face to face with my one and only brother-in-law and drank fruit wine as if today was the last.
Decades later, just like the day Namcheon Mahu came to visit.
“This is my last request.”
Baeksang continued with a faint smile.
“Kill me, brother.”
