Episode 223: Dealing with the original poison ivy.
Do you think the two look alike?
There wasn’t a single bit of similarity that would make the Poison King jump up and down.
Because it was something I said in the spur of the moment to get Jin Dok Geosa’s attention to me.
The objective was achieved. Jin Dok Geosa’s attention changed from the Poison King to me. Yes, deal with me.
“Don’t you feel bad when you see someone who looks like you?”
The look in the eyes of the Poison King when he heard these words was like this.
Me and this ugly guy?
The same question was asked of Jin Dok Geosa.
“Where on earth do they resemble each other?”
Even if you think about it, they probably don’t look alike at all.
“To my eyes, they look very similar. Even the look in their eyes and the atmosphere are the same. They are somehow rebellious, yet have depth.”
The Jindok Geosa frowned. That expression said this. Saying something like that in this situation? Rebellious? Deep? In this dungeon where people are dying?
“Weren’t you that handsome when you were young?”
What could be wrong with saying you resemble a handsome person?
The problem was that he didn’t believe me at all.
“Stop talking nonsense. Tell me why you came out to seek interest.”
The real swindler was blatantly revealing his intention to kill. He seemed determined to make an example of anyone who spoke nonsense.
“I received help from the brain prison.”
“How much help did you receive that you would risk your life?”
My gaze turned to the Poison King.
“When we were fighting like dogs, that person became a dog and fought with us.”
Surprise and excitement crossed the face of the Poison King, for he did not know why I should give him that reason.
Fortunately, those words resonated with Jin Dok Geosa more than any other detailed explanation.
“What kind of loyalty are you talking about, you prisoners? If you act insolently one more time, you will be drowned in blood.”
“Yes! I will be careful.”
Jin Dok-geosa looked at me and the Poison King alternately with a displeased look, but he didn’t make things worse. Each and every one of them was an important test subject.
After confining the Poison King in the brain prison again, Jindok Geosa left there.
I sent a message to the Poison King.
-Thank you for your patience.
-Why did you come out? I could have taken care of it myself.
-I know.
-Are you saying that because you’re afraid I’ll have an accident?
-no.
-No!
After a moment, I spoke to him.
-I did that because I thought you might rather endure it.
―!
The Poison King looked at me with a surprised face.
– I think he’ll endure it. That’s why he’ll endure getting slapped and being humiliated by that guy. The Poison King probably endured it for the sake of our plan.
The Poison King’s clear, large eyes grew even wider.
―What if that guy tried to kill you because your flattery that you resembled me didn’t work?
– Then we have to turn the tables. He has to kill everyone here with his crazy side effects, make it look like he’s dead, and leave.
– Then what about Aecha? He’s the one who stays in his den and doesn’t come out much.
-If you think about it, you’ll figure it out.
―The reason you took such a risk… is because you didn’t want to see me suffer?
-Just that? It’s a really important reason. It’s a big deal that I can just throw everything away and go back.
I revealed my true feelings to the look in his eyes that said, “Are you a father?”
“In the proportion of flattery and sincerity, the proportion of sincerity is constantly increasing.”
The Poison King who had been staring at me disappeared from the small window.

Prisoners died every day.
Every time, Jindok Geosa would come to the brain prison to confirm their deaths, and then he would glare at the Poison King before leaving. It seems that the Poison King’s presence still feels like a thorn in his eye.
He should have trusted his instincts more. Why did those clear eyes go against his mood so much?
But he was tired of the continued research failures and failed to properly observe the sense of crisis that was continuously sending signals.
Rather, he was addicted to madness every day. The Poison King was so sophisticated and skilled that he could not recognize it because he did not normally use his internal energy so vigorously.
When he left, the Poison King asked me.
-If everything goes according to plan, will Aecha show up here?
– He will definitely show up. According to the military investigation, Aecha and Jindok Geosa are not on good terms. If you say that the experiment is successful, he will come and check it out himself.
– Judging by the current trend, a conclusion will be reached within about ten days.
The end was now in sight.
* * *
For ten days, I focused solely on the Cheonmahosingong.
Rather, when the surroundings are chaotic, we tend to show unexpected concentration. That was me. In this small and poor prison where prisoners die every day, I concentrated on my training more than ever.
And finally, there was progress in the Cheonmahosingong.
It was the result of the recent increase in my internal energy and the combined changes in my body and the training here. Slowly but surely, Cheonmahosingong was advancing towards greatness.
As I went up a level, Cheonmahoshinkong was definitely different from before. It reacted to crises faster and more sensitively, and it felt more closely connected to me.
In the meantime, the prisoner died.

If you listen to the conversation between the drones that come and go to feed the brain prison, they say that if they fail this time, they plan to continue the experiment by kidnapping regular drones.
These people had no regard for people’s lives as long as it was for their own purposes. No, they were people who had no regard for other people’s lives in the first place.
These are the absolute evils. In a place like this, masters like Jin Dok-geosa and Ae-cha are conducting secret experiments, so who can stop them?
– It is my magic to prevent such evil deeds.
And since I brought that up, for the first time I’ve been asked about the next generation.
The Poison King asked me.
– After you die? Will the next Heavenly Horse be able to protect the magic sword? Will someone like you ever appear again?
-Why should I worry about what happens after I die? The people I leave behind will take care of it.
―We worked so hard to establish a new magic kingdom, so wouldn’t it be a shame for future generations to ruin it?
Yes, I could mess it up. But I think that’s something I can’t do anything about. No, I thought it would be better not to get involved in the first place.
―How can we order future generations to do something? Will they listen to us as if we are asking them to do something? They will just look at our way of living, and if it looks cool, they will follow it, and if it doesn’t look good, they will change it.
Just like I did.
* * *
As the King had expected, on the tenth day, all the prisoners who had come here died.
Now the only ones left were Geommugeuk and Dokwang.
Food continued to be provided for several days afterward, and of course, the two men did not die.
A few days later again.
The moment the two had been waiting for had arrived.
Finally, Ae-cha came to the underground prison with Jin-dok-geo-sa. Ae-cha, who had been hiding in her own den, showed up for the first time.
“Did you really succeed?”
“Yes! See for yourself. There are two successful combinations. We just need to do some more research to make a more stable combination.”
“Let’s go and see!”
Aecha looked inside through a hole in the iron door of the brain prison where the sword dance and poison king were.
His once joyful eyes turned into snake eyes.
“They’re both so young, but isn’t it something that only works on young people?”
At that moment, Jin Dok-geosa almost swore. It was like this every time, but I didn’t know it would continue like this until today.
“Aren’t you ignoring me too much?”
A cold wind blew between the two.
“I was just saying that, so there’s no need to be so harsh on me.”
After saying something annoyingly, Ae-cha looked back and forth between the sword dance in the brain prison and the poison king.
‘No matter how I look at it, it looks too difficult?’
At that moment, Ae-cha’s heart began to pound. His sense of crisis began to work fiercely. What is this? This ominousness?
Just like a god of gambling changing cards in front of a gambling ghost, the ultimate power of the poison king’s martial arts was displayed in the presence of the best poison master in the world. One small hole was enough.
‘!’
In an instant, Ae-cha’s expression hardened. He forced a smile and approached Jin Dok-geo-sa.
“You’ve really worked hard!”
The moment I got closer.
Shhh!
Ae-cha quickly drew his sword and stabbed Jin-dok-geosa in the arm.
Jin Dok Geosa was helpless in this surprise attack.
The moment Jin Dok Geosa was about to reflexively spray poison, Ae Cha was the first to subdue his demon blood.
“Are you crazy?”
At the shout of the monk, Ae-cha grabbed his neck.
“What are you? Did you take a berserk?”
Jin Dok-geosa thought that Ae-cha had gone berserk and was running wild. Otherwise, there would be no reason for her to suddenly try to kill him.
He couldn’t just throw away his land because the experiment was successful. He was the only one who knew how to make a wide-ranged weapon in preparation for something like this. He didn’t write it down anywhere. It was only in his head. Knowing that, he had no reason to kill himself.
“Cancel! Give me the cancellation!”
My car suddenly vomited blood.
His face had turned dark. Only then did Jin Dok-geosa realize that he had been poisoned. He mistakenly thought that he had poisoned him and attacked him.
“This kid! I knew you would betray me like this someday!”
“Not me! I said no!”
If the two people had been on good terms, they would have looked around more calmly. However, since they were not on good terms, like enemies, the only thing that came to mind was that the other person was trying to kill them.
At that moment, the servants of Aecha and Jin Dok-geosa who had been waiting outside rushed in.
“What’s going on?”
“Jin-dok betrayed! Kill them all!”
Aecha’s men drew their swords and stabbed Jindok Geosa’s men to death. It happened so quickly, and Jindok Geosa’s men were so shocked by the news that their leader had betrayed them that they immediately sprayed poison and were unable to fight back.
They all died, and Aecha’s men fell one after another as they ran towards Aecha.
Aecha thought that Jin Dok Geosa’s subordinates had poisoned him, but in fact, Geom Mu Geuk had put them to sleep by blowing a strong wind and pressing down on their blood vessels. They were the best witnesses to tell about this situation.
The previous poisoning and the blood transfusion just now were all done through a small window in the brain prison without anyone noticing.
Ae-cha’s eyes turned to the sight of his men falling.
“You traitorous bastard! Give me the release date before I kill you!”
Ae-cha grabbed Jin-dok-geosa’s neck even more tightly. If he had just used a little more force, it would have broken. Jin-dok-geosa spoke to him, groaning as he could not breathe.
“If I really wanted to kill you, you would be dead already.”
That was true, so Ae-cha was momentarily confused. Yes, if he had tried to kill her, he would have killed her instantly with a stronger poison. He would not have allowed her to fight back like this.
It was just then.
Swish.
The key that was on the side of the fallen Jin Dok-geosa’s subordinate floated into the air.
Jin Dok-geosa, who saw the sight first, opened his eyes wide.
A key flew through the air and opened the Poison King’s iron gate.
Crunch!
Startled by the sound, Aecha also looked in that direction.
The key flew through the air again and opened the iron gate of the sword theater.
At the loud crash, Aecha and Jindokgeosa’s hearts sank.
As the door opened, Geommu-geuk and Poison King walked out of the brain prison.
Aecha was dazed for a moment. Was he seeing things because of the poison?
The sword dance and the poison king walked side by side towards the two people.
The first one to grasp the situation was Jin Dok-geosa.
“Kill them! That’s what they did!”
Ae-cha, who had come to his senses for a moment, swung his sword at Geommu-geuk.
How could an attack that would not have worked even if it had been planned and launched a surprise attack work now? The sword of Aecha that was thrown only stabbed the air in vain, and the sword dance that dug into the King of Hell suppressed Aecha’s demon blood.
Ae-cha looked at Geommu-geuk with a surprised face. Now she realized it. If things went wrong, it was a big mistake. She shouldn’t have subdued Jin-dok-geosa and stabbed his arm.
The Poison King strode over to Jindok Geosa and opened the poison pouch on his waist. At that moment, Jindok Geosa was secretly delighted.
Are you messing with my poison pouch? Yeah, hurry up and get out of here!
Of course you will die. If you could touch it carelessly, then how could it be the poison pouch of the real poison master?
But his opponent handled the poison more skillfully than he did.
A gust of wind carried Jin Dok Geosa’s poison towards Ae Cha’s face.
“no!”
The pitiful cries of the car soon turned into terrible screams.
“Eww!”
Since it is a poison that only he uses, killing a loved one would be considered a true poison.
Then what about killing Jin Dok Geosa?
The hand of the girl holding the sword moved on its own by an invisible force.
Phew!
It was stuck in the heart of Jin Dok Geosa.
“Eww!”
“Eeeeeeeeeeek!”
Both of them let out a terrible scream at the same time.
Geommu-geuk went and poked Jindok Geosa under his eye with his finger and flicked his nose.
Blood began to flow from his nose and eyes. Since his body already contained a sufficient amount of the poison poison that the Poison King had poisoned, the side effects of the poison poison would run rampant and eventually the two would conclude that they had planned a double-cross.
“… …Why on earth?”
The Poison King gave a short answer to the difficult question of the monk Jindok.
“Make the medicine like a dog.”
The swordsman didn’t add anything to that. He didn’t say that because of your medicine, you were able to use your sword and many innocent people died, and that a child who lost his family was left alone. That was unacceptable to him. That was unacceptable to his conscience.
But to him, who was full of pride, the King’s words must have been deeply hurtful.
This time, Ae-cha, whose face was half melted by the poison, asked Geommu-geuk with difficulty.
“… …Who are you? You guys?”
Geommugeuk stared at him quietly and then spoke softly.
“He is crazy, and I am black.”
They named the two most common drugs they sell.
He wanted to say something, but Aecha’s life was over. He would never have imagined that his life would end so meaninglessly just half a year ago.
As he watched Ae-cha’s head drop, Jin-dok-geosa said to the Poison King.
“… … I have something to say.”
The Poison King came close to him.
Jin Dok-geosa bit the inside of his mouth and spit out blood. It was blood mixed with extremely poisonous substances.
Chorrrrrr!
The Poison King opened up the Muganseon and blocked it.
Blood flowed down the fan. In addition to the blood of the Jindok Geosa, there were many traces of battle left on the fan. It seemed that the Poison King did not remove or replace the traces, but left them as they were.
“It won’t work, that third-rate poisoner’s poison.”
Jin Dok-geosa, who had been thoroughly toyed with until the end, trembled in pain and shame, and soon hung his head.
Geommu-geuk looked down at the two dead men in silence. It was not just that he had killed one of Yeol-han’s four subordinates.
It was a moment that saved countless lives that would have died in the future, and a moment of revenge for the boy who lost his mother and younger sibling. I was able to go to Seo Dae-ryong and tell him. Go back and tell the boy. Your revenge has been achieved. No evil will work in front of our school. So now at least you can live happily. Their deaths have such meaning.
The sword dance bowed its head respectfully to the Poison King.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
It must have been really hard in this narrow and stuffy place. Although Geommu-geuk himself trained in his spare time, the poison king who lived in the nature of Cheondokrim must have felt really suffocated.
“Dealing with a poisonous person is originally this difficult and dirty.”
“I enjoyed it. Being with the Poison King.”
“Stop poisoning me. There’s enough already.”
“yes?”
The Poison King walked out first, leaving the sword dance that he did not understand English behind.
Just before leaving the place, Geommu-geuk blew a gust of wind to release the blood transfusions of the Aecha’s subordinates who had been put to sleep earlier.
After a while, the two of them heard a commotion from behind, saying, “Jin Dok-geosa is crazy, he has betrayed me, tell your superiors,” and disappeared from there without a sound.
