Episode 240 I finally opened my eyes.
I opened my eyes.
Even though I woke up in an unfamiliar place, I felt so refreshed that I lay down in bed for a while. Usually, when I sleep for a long time, I have all sorts of dreams, but this time, I slept soundly without even dreaming.
How long did you sleep?
One day? Two days? I’m so hungry, I wonder if I’ve slept for ten days straight.
Then I remembered someone and jumped up.
“Soma-sama!”
Looking around, I realized that this was not a medical clinic.
An unfamiliar bedroom I had never been in before. The clean bedding smelled pleasant, and the bed and furniture did not feel old, but had the quality of antique furniture.
At that moment, something caught my eye.
That thing hanging on the wall is…!
Surprisingly, this was my father’s bedroom.
My last memory was in a hospital, so why was I sleeping there?
There was a clean set of uniforms next to the bed.
After changing clothes, I looked around the bedroom with a dazed mind. It was my son’s first time entering this room.
‘My father gave me a room?’
I don’t know what the circumstances were, but this fact alone was so moving. I lay down on my father’s bed again.
Thinking that my father was sleeping here, I wanted to lie down longer. This might be a chance that won’t come again.
At that moment, my father’s voice was heard from outside the window.
“If you’re awake, come out.”
I jumped out of bed and went outside.
My father was sitting at a stone table in the yard, drinking tea.
“If you want to know that it’s the Heavenly Demon’s bedroom, you usually have to see the Heavenly Demon’s soul symbol or the Heavenly Demon Sword, right? But you can tell by the flower-patterned pajamas!”
Hanging on the wall were my father’s floral pajamas.
My father put down his teacup and said to me,
“I guess it’s worth living now.”
“I feel like I’m flying.”
In fact, the body was healed perfectly.
“Why am I in my father’s bedroom?”
“Because I brought you.”
“Are you at the doctor’s office?”
My father nodded at my surprised question.
“I’m not the only one who went. Your few connections all came.”
I could guess roughly who came.
“Wouldn’t those few people end up being one hundred against one?”
How can you make a million per day? It’s a thousand per day and ten thousand per day.
“What happened to Soma-sama?”
My heart was pounding with anticipation. My father was the kind of person who could casually say, “Soma is dead,” while drinking tea.
“The magician is still treating him.”
I felt relieved by those words. The power of a single word, ‘Ma-ui’, is this great.
At that time, the servants of Cheonmajeon came and brought me some porridge. It was a meal after starving for several days, so they meant for me to eat lightly. This was my father’s consideration.
“Have you eaten?”
“I did it, so listen up.”
“Okay, then I will eat it with gratitude.”
I didn’t know porridge could taste this good. After emptying the bowl so cleanly and even drinking a cup of tea, I was still hungry, but I felt a little better.
“Where did the eternal snow ginseng come from?”
“This is what Yalulhan brought as a 90th birthday present for Oroesin Sword.”
“What about the aftermath of them?”
“Visaine decided to take care of it.”
“Can you do it?”
“Yes, I believe I can.”
“You have chosen that child to be the next Apostolic Leader.”
“I think it’s not a bad choice.”
At that moment, the Cheonmajeon warrior brought something and placed it in front of me.
“What is this?”
“Open it.”
When I opened the box, there was a perennial ginseng inside.
I was surprised.
“Where did you come from?”
“Why? Does it look like you cut open Soma’s stomach and took it out?”
It must have been an elixir brought from the Cheonma Treasure House. Only Cheonma knows what’s inside, but I also have a rough idea.
“Are you giving it to me?”
“okay.”
“Why are you giving me this precious thing?”
“You willingly gave me the Eternal Snow Ginseng for my Demon Lord, so of course I should return it.”
I emphasized the word “my Amazon”. It means it is not your Amazon yet.
“Are you afraid that I might take the evil soma away from you?”
Then my favorite expression came on, that peculiar sneer with the corners of the lips going up.

“You don’t want to eat it? If you don’t want to, then don’t eat it.”
“No way!”
He quickly put what he was about to take back into his mouth.
It was sweet and sour, more fragrant and delicious than any elixir I had ever taken.
He completely melted the energy of the Everlasting Snow Sam and turned it into internal energy. As the internal energy of the Everlasting Snow Sam was added to the new level of internal energy, his internal energy became more pure and majestic.
While I was exercising, my father was looking at Mt. Daecheon in the distance, carrying a backpack on his back.
I went to stand next to my father. Instead of thanking him, I first apologized.
“I’m sorry, father.”
A son who puts himself in danger is an unfilial son.
“Okay, you know.”
“I will never forget the kindness that gave me the everlasting snow ginseng.”
How could he have given me this precious thing by giving it to the evil soma? There was another meaning to my father giving me the Eternal Snow Ginseng. And that meaning was what I had guessed.
“You said you would fight for succession without shedding blood.”
“yes.”
“Is that thought still the same?”
“It remains unchanged.”
My father said nothing more.
I could tell. Sooner or later, my father would decide on a successor. The Mannyeonseolsam was a gift to help him finish the succession battle well. Because I had guessed this, I could hear these words in my ears every time I chewed the Mannyeonseolsam.
‘Eat this and be good!’
If Father is going to make a decision, I too will have to settle things with my brother in some way.
“Brothers, let’s hold hands and come see each other soon.”
This was what my father had wanted. The final test to select a successor.
Knowing his personality well, I thought that perhaps this task would be more difficult than killing Yalulhan.
Since he was no longer my match in terms of martial arts, and since most of the Demon Lords had become my people, it was actually more difficult. I didn’t know what kind of reckless move my brother would try.
“If you’ve finished eating, you can go now.”
“Can I go into the bedroom, put on Dad’s pajamas, and sleep for just one more hour before I go? It’s so soft and fluffy, I don’t want to go.”
Just as my father was about to say something, a warrior from Cheonmajeon came and reported.
“The Poison King has returned.”
As soon as I heard that, I greeted him broadly and ran over.
“Then I will go.”
I felt my father’s gaze on the back of my head, looking at me with a dumbfounded expression.
Understood, Father. I will end the succession battle this time. I have a long way to go.

The carriage carrying the Poison King and the Heavenly King entered the Heavenly Horse Church.
“Look over there!”
A giant statue of an evil spirit stood where Seo Dae-ryong pointed.
“Look over there on the other side.”
On the other side, there were stone statues pointing swords and swords at each other. There were stone statues that recreated the Heavenly Horses of all time, and there was also a stone statue that looked like the Heavenly Horse Spirit.
“That’s amazing.”
He answered with admiration, but the stone statues were not in Cheonhwaruju’s sight at the moment.
Her heart was pounding. She would soon hear news of the evil Soma.
There had been no news of the evil soma all the way here, so she didn’t know whether he was alive or dead.
The Poison King never mentioned anything about the life or death of the evil Soma. He didn’t even try to comfort him, telling him that it would be okay.
Seo Dae-ryong felt that the Poison King was a completely different person than he seemed.
You shouldn’t judge him by his youthful appearance. The way he stares blankly at the poisonous plants or digs the dirt is just a part of him.
The carriage that passed through the outer garden under strict security entered the inner garden. The security became several times tighter.
Now everyone in the group got out of the carriage.
As Cheonhwaruju looked around, his gaze stopped at one place.
From a distance, a sword dance was walking towards them.
At that moment, Cheonhwaruju’s heart pounded as if it would burst. He wondered what news Geommu-geuk would bring. He hoped that the evil Soma would be safe.
The swordsman who came closer spoke to her.
“Soma-sama is still undergoing treatment.”
The swordsman spoke to her frankly.
“I did everything I could. The god of our school also did his best. Now it’s up to you, Soma.”
Then Cheonhwaruju laughed brightly.
“Then you don’t have to worry.”
She was the one who believed in the evil Soma as if it were heaven.
I felt relieved because it was Geommugeuk and not someone else who said it. If Geommugeuk did their best, then they really did their best.
“You must be tired from the long journey. Please rest for now. We will treat you as a distinguished guest of our school until Soma wakes up.”
Cheonhwaruju bowed her head and expressed her gratitude. The servants who followed her guided her to the annex.
As she left, Seo Dae-ryong ran and tried to hug Geommu-geuk.
“Why are you being so gross?”
“I’m glad to see you, but is this something that can be avoided by using the law? Do you think it would have been the same even if this unmanned person had come running?”
Seodaeryong rushed at him again. This time, Geommugeuk did not dodge but simply embraced him.
“I was really worried this time.”
“Then you should have come running then. When Yalulhan surrounded me with his clone technique, you should have come and taken care of the three clones.”
“Huh! Did he use the clone technique too?”
“And that wasn’t all? A demon-shaped sword aura rushed at me as if it was going to devour me.”
Seo Dae-ryong slowly took a step back.
“As you know, I am a person fit for an investigator. Don’t use the top admissions position for the wrong things!”
If you’re going to say something like that, you shouldn’t have such glaring eyes.
“I will go and greet my master.”
After even Seo Dae-ryong left, the only one left was Dok-wang. He had deliberately not come forward because he wanted the two of them to talk quietly.
“Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty.”
“What did I have to go through? You guys had a hard time.”
The Poison King asked Geommugeuk.
“Did you get what you wanted from this fight?”
After a moment, Geommugeuk said.
“Yes, I think I got it.”
The Poison King, who had been staring intently into the deepening gaze of the Sword Dancer, walked towards Cheon Dok Rim and spoke.
“Come play at Cheondokrim when you have time.”
As he walked, the pair of poisonous gloves that Geommugeuk had given him as a gift were dangling from his waist.

Finally, the evil Soma opened his eyes.
He could tell he was lying in a hospital room by the peculiar medicinal scent that wafted into his nose.
The last memory was of the back of the sword dance. I fell asleep while thinking about how I was so comfortable despite running so fearfully.
When I looked inside my body, it was like a battlefield, but it was peaceful. Even if it wasn’t the end of the war, it was at least in a state of truce.
I could tell from the state of his body. He had arrived at the main school safely and that the magician had cured him. The only person who could cure that body was the magician.
The evil Soma slowly got up. He sat on the bed and looked up at Tokyo. The white mask was still stained with blood from the fight. He hadn’t even touched the mask while treating it.
The evil Soma suddenly remembered a moment.
The moment when he sensed death and tried to take off his mask, the moment when Geommugeuk grabbed his arm.
-I don’t look at that face because I think it’s better looking than mine!
A smile appeared on the lips of the extremely evil Soma behind the mask.
Then someone came into the room and said.
“Are you awake?”
The person who entered was a demon.
Even though he knew that he had saved him, the evil Soma skipped greetings and asked about the sword dance first.
“What happened to the scholar?”
“It was the first time in my life as a member of the National Assembly that I was so exhausted. I was carrying Amazon in that state… … .”
A hint of worry crossed Soma’s eyes.
But soon the magician smiled and said.
“Don’t worry. I’ll just pick up Amazon and go back the way I came, faster.”
Only then did the evil Soma feel relieved.
“I heard that even the Duke of Yi slept for several days. Well, he must have been tired since he arrived earlier than Jeonseo.”
Faster than Jeonseo? Yes, I remember. How desperately Geommu-geuk ran. Even in the midst of that, he shared his energy to make his body comfortable. The evil Soma knows very well how much mental energy it takes.
Only after hearing the news of the sword dance did the evil soma politely express his thanks to the magician.
“Thank you for saving my life. I apologize for the late greeting.”
The magician shook his head and said.
“I am the one who should be thanking you.”
The magician bowed his head politely and said.
“Thank you for relieving the pain of my life.”
The son in Ma-ui’s heart has now begun to grow old.
“Okay, first, melt the energy of the eternal snow ginseng in your body. If Lee Gongja hadn’t made you take it, the Demon Lord wouldn’t be alive today.”
This time, the evil soma remembered the moment when Geommugeuk made him take the Mannyeonseolsam. He also remembered Geommugeuk sobbing as if he was going to die.
Feeling that there were too many things to be thankful for to the Sword Master, the Evil Soma closed his eyes and began to melt the energy of the Everlasting Snow.
While the evil soma was awakening, Ma-ui sent someone to inform Geommu-geuk that the evil soma had awakened.
When the evil Soma melted all his internal energy, the gaze in his mask became colder and deeper.
After a while, the swordsman who had been waiting outside came in.
The swordmaster spoke to the masked, extremely evil Soma.
“Your complexion looks brighter today.”
How much I wanted to hear the story of the sword dance? He said this after seeing the blood on the mask.
“Your face even turned red.”
The evil Soma laughed out loud.
It was obvious without needing to say anything how much they were thankful for each other. These words from the evil Soma, who had just come back from the brink of death, were enough.
“Let’s go fight again later.”
“great.”
No further words were needed.
“Oh, we have an honored guest at our school.”
As the sword dance theater opened the door, the person who had been waiting outside came in.
She was none other than Cheonhwaruju. She was so worried about the evil Soma that she came all the way to the Cheonmasin Church headquarters, but she was worried the whole time that she had come to the wrong place.
But the moment she saw the evil Soma, all those thoughts disappeared. She knew. There was no need to worry in the first place.
I’m so happy to see him.
What more reason was needed? Nothing else mattered. I thought it was a good thing that he came, even if the evil Soma got angry.
And the evil Soma suited her heart so well.
“You said you wanted to see my room before, right?”
