Absolute Return Episode 355
Episode 355: You said you could use your internal energy, right?
“The leader of the Cheonma Shingyo cult!”
The light and evil spirits recognized the sword dance at the same time.
He was an unforgettable person because his sword dance left such a strong impression on us when we first met.
“Why are you here?”
They were very surprised, as they had not expected that the sword dance would be here.
The expressions of the light and the evil changed. A ray of hope bloomed in the evil’s heart. A variable had appeared in a situation where death was imminent.
On the other hand, Gwangseom had a truly devastated expression on his face. He was about to blame the villain and kill So Myeong-ju.
But if this happens, the situation will be such that even the leader of the Demonic Cult will have to be killed. What we are doing now is not an ordinary matter, and if even the leader of the Demonic Cult dies, the martial arts world will be turned upside down.
Gwangseom, who was upset by the unexpected variable, walked over briskly and poured himself some alcohol to drink.
‘How should I deal with this?’
I was wondering whether I should report this to Hwang Seok-gyeong right away or handle it on my own. It would take time to report and get a response.
An even bigger problem is that his plans were exposed to the leader of the Demonic Cult.
Gwangseom looked at Geommugeuk. His eyes were relaxed, as if he was certain that Geommugeuk would not kill him.
‘Little Leader, this time you have chosen the wrong opponent.’
He made a decision on how to deal with this headache.
Gwangseom looked at the monster and said.
“At least you won’t be charged with killing the minor leader.”
The monster, who had guessed the meaning of the light island, reacted coldly.
“You crazy kid.”
He was the worst of the worst. He had never trusted anyone his whole life, but he still trusted Gwangseom, whom he had hung out with. He also liked his quiet personality. He had been fooled by that quietness. He was more angry at himself for being fooled than at the person who had fooled him.
His martial art, the Iron Man, is a martial art that uses the whole body to fight. Without internal energy, it is impossible to even attempt a surprise attack.
What would happen if the Sogyoju, Somaengju, and himself all rushed at him? Even if they had no internal energy, wouldn’t they be able to do something?
But he knew better than anyone how fast Gwangseom’s sword was. His martial arts without internal energy would be like a massage, and their attacks would be like a child’s sword fight.
The decision that Gwangseom made was just as the evil had expected.
“Because the two of them, the Sogyoju and Somangju, will fight each other and be dealt with as a plan to defeat both.”
The swordsman said to the non-singer.
“So what you were worried about has finally happened. We fight and die.”
“Are you kidding me in this situation?”
“If friends die on the same day, isn’t that a valuable thing in its own right?”
Visain was in no mood to accept the swordplay’s teasing right now.
‘Is this how I die?’
I believed in the light island and the evil spirits. That’s why I drank alcohol without any doubts. I thought it was natural to believe them because I was a follower of the Apostolic Lord. If you think about it, they were people who had nothing to do with me.
Suddenly, I remembered the words of Geommu-geuk, “Look at people straight and carefully.” Yes, this too must be the result of not being able to look at people straight.
What will happen to the Apostles after I die? What about the leader? They are the ones who dragged even Gwangseom into it, so it won’t be easy to deal with them.
And his last worry as he faced death was not himself.
“You must not kill the leader of the Demonic Cult. Even if you kill us, let that person go.”
Asking someone else to save my life when I’m dying? Visain felt like a stranger.
“The leader of the demonic cult will promise. He will never reveal what happened here. He is the leader of the demonic cult, so he will not break his promise so easily.”
When Gwangseom didn’t respond, Visain tried to persuade him even more earnestly.
“Think about it from the perspective of the leader of the cult. After all, these are things that happened in the Apostolic Alliance. They have nothing to do with that person. He wouldn’t have revealed today’s events while damaging his own reputation. If you kill the leader of the cult, the demonic cult will find you and kill you all.”
Visain looked back at the sword dance and said.
“Isn’t that right? You tell me.”
Then Geommugeuk said.
“I will tell you.”
“What?”
“I can’t just stand by and do nothing when he killed you right before my eyes. Not only will I tell you everything, I’ll take revenge.”
Visan was frustrated. This is not the time to play around, you cult leader. Please, just this once, play to my beat.
Hiding his true feelings, Visain calmly persuaded Gwangseom.
“The original leader is good at saying things that he doesn’t mean. Don’t make a big deal out of it, and let the leader go.”
Then, Visain looked at the sword dance and spoke with his eyes.
-I’m not joking. So don’t joke around either.
Of course, if you just give in to that wish, it won’t be a sword dance.
“You, you are the coolest person I’ve ever met.”
Please! Visan was about to burst out in anger. Yes, it was going to end up like this anyway. He would spare her if she asked him to, and kill her if she didn’t. He wouldn’t do that.
“If the person who is trying to save me is not cool, then isn’t that a problem?”
After speaking, Visain smiled bitterly. After all, even at this moment, he was being playful. Well, I’d rather laugh and play with that person and die. Thinking that way, he felt better.
Geommugeuk looked at Gwangseom.
“Look into that man’s eyes.”
Visain also looked into Gwangseom’s eyes following the sword dance. His eyes were cold and showed no emotion.
“He has no intention of letting me live.”
How could I not have known that it was a visa? It was just that I didn’t want to let Geommu-geuk die like this.
Visain let out a long sigh.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to drag you in.”
Then Geommugeuk said.
“Your second sigh.”
I want to show him the tenth, the hundredth sigh. But the relationship ends after showing him two sighs.

He felt like he could overcome any crisis if he was with Geommu-geuk. Geommu-geuk pushed him to become the main character in this case as well, but there was a corner of his heart that believed in him.
But he had forgotten himself. While he was amazed by the amazing abilities of the swordsman and laughed at his antics, he had forgotten that he was also human.
“I’m so sorry.”
Geommugeuk smiled at his apology, which was spat out with a sigh.
“You don’t have to be sorry.”
The evil spirit who was watching this scene spoke to Gwangseom.
“Even that immature friendship is so desperate, so what are we?”
Gwangseom pretended not to hear and said nothing.
This time, Geommugeuk spoke to Gwangseom.
“You will become a protagonist who will be remembered in the history of martial arts. Because you will kill the leader of the Demonic Cult, the leader of the Apostles, and the Seven Great Masters of the Apostles all in one place.”
Then the monster added a word.
“Make sure to include in the records that he was killed by acid poisoning!”
Gwangseom tried to draw his sword as if he didn’t want to waste any more time.
Geommugeuk asked quickly.
“Let me ask you one thing before I die. Where are the children who were kidnapped and taken away?”
“Why do you ask that?”
“Since you got involved in this because of that, shouldn’t you know it even if you die?”
But that was something that even Gwangseom didn’t know about.
“I don’t know.”
“Then who did the person you respect join hands with within the Apostolic Alliance?”
The Sword Dance Theater tried to find out something through him.
But this time too, he shook his head. He seemed to not know.
“You are just someone who is used as Hwang Seok-gyeong’s sword.”
The sword dance added to the non-sign.
“Later, this person would be used as a sword to kill the Apostle Leader.”
I thought it was quite possible. If he continued to build trust like this, he would have played a role in ambush-ing the leader of the apostles at a crucial moment. If he used poison and secret weapons, and used all the means at his disposal, wouldn’t he have been able to assassinate the leader of the apostles? What if he even got involved?
This was an even more worrying situation. Since even the leader of the Demonic Cult has died, the relationship between the Demonic Cult and the Apostolic Alliance will rapidly deteriorate. If misunderstandings pile up, war could break out. In such a situation, will it be possible to properly uncover the truth behind this death? In the meantime, they will only look for profit.
Visain conveyed his frustration to Geommugeuk.
“I wish you would say that. Actually, I can use my inner energy. I wish you would say that with a smile, like you always do, so that we can survive… … .”
“If I survive?”
“I’ll gather everyone together and dance.”
He was a man who had never danced in his life. He thought he would rather die than dance in front of people.
Are you willing to put up with such ridiculous conditions just to live?
I wanted to live. Even if I were to die, I didn’t want to die like this.
There’s still so much to do. I haven’t even sat in the Great Council of the Supreme Council yet. I haven’t even established my own apostle. I haven’t even met the woman I love. I haven’t even had a drink with my friend at the bar in front of his house… … I haven’t even said hello to my friend’s father yet.
Geommugeuk smiled brightly and said while looking at the visa sign.
“Actually, I can use my internal energy.”
Visain also smiled. His rough and ugly face brightened. Yes, it is fitting for a swordsman to die laughing like this.
‘It’s nice to have you as my friend.’
Gwangseom drew his sword and spoke to the evil spirit.
“But since I still have feelings for you, I will kill you in the end.”
“We’ve known each other for twenty years and have been together for seven or eight years. We really have a great bond.”
Gwangseom pretended not to hear and walked towards Visain.
“I have no ill feelings toward the minor lord.”
His heart was beating fast, but Visain was confident. He stared calmly at the light without fear of death.
‘Oh heavens, please protect the Apostolic Alliance!’
The sword of the light island flew in.
Oh my god!
Chae-Ang!
Visain opened his eyes wide.
The thing blocking my sight was the back of the swordsman. He had blocked the sword that flew across the space in an instant with the black magic sword.
“you!”
There was no time to talk.
The swords that had been crossed by the light island immediately unleashed the Dokmunmu-gong Churye Samgeom.
Gwangseom could tell from this one move that had stopped him. If he had tried another shallow move, he would have simply died. He poured all his internal energy into his Dokmun martial arts.
‘Even if you have internal energy, the result is the same!’
How could a human avoid a falling lightning bolt? He was confident that if the Churye Samgeom was unleashed at this distance, he would definitely be able to kill Geommu Geuk.
Flash!
Shhhhh!
It was an attack so fast that it was invisible to the eye. However, there were people who were able to avoid the lightning.
‘Even if you avoid one!’
The Chu-Rae-I-Geom was unleashed in succession. The sword light flashed and in an instant, more than a dozen sword lines poured out toward Geom-Mu-Geuk.
Champ champ champ champ champ champ champ!
However, the black magic sword of the sword dance blocked all the attacks. If it was lightning on this side, it was lightning on the other side too.
Gwangseom was surprised and confused. Up until now, only one person had been able to block the Churei Sword that had been unleashed on this street.
Yes, he may be able to stop it since he is the leader of the Demonic Cult. But he won’t be able to stop the last three swords.
At that moment, the lightning strike that would sweep away everyone here was about to unfold.
Phew!
The sound of swords clashing with the sound of flesh being torn ceased.
The sudden silence told us that this match was over in one move.
Gwangseom’s gaze slowly turned to his chest.
The black magic sword pierced his chest. It was hard to believe that he had missed this attack.
“… … Faster than me?”
Gwangseom slowly raised his head and looked at Geommu-geuk.
Those clear and deep eyes were of a different person from the person who had been acting cute and naughty before.
On the contrary, Geommugeuk looked at his eyes that were losing their vitality and spoke coldly.
“The moment you took the poison from the bottle, everything you had done without anyone knowing disappeared. Now you are nothing.”
Gwangseom moved his lips as if trying to say something.
Swish! Crunch!
There was no exception. The black magic sword pulled out from his chest and cut off his neck with a single stroke.
thud.
It was the moment when Gwangseom, one of the Seven Great Masters of the Apostles and a master of the quick sword, died without being able to say a word.
The black magic sword was wiped clean of blood, and Geommugeuk turned to Bisain and smiled.
“Didn’t you say I could use my internal energy?”
A thrill ran through Visain’s entire body along with the joy of being alive. It was the moment when the gates of hell opened and closed again.
“How on earth?”
“I guess mountain ginseng doesn’t suit my constitution.”
Ah! How long will this guy keep surprising people like this?
“How far do you plan on taking me?”
“I told you, just drag me around and look at the stars and clouds. There will come a day when you’ll think, “Those were the good old days.” Then, when I get tired, just drag me around.”
Their gazes met in midair.
Visa didn’t say thank you. He decided to settle the account of gratitude at the end. He even owed his life to the gratitude. Will this all be settled?
It wasn’t just Visan who was surprised. The monster was staring at the corpse of Gwangseom with a blank expression.
He was surprised by the skill of Geommu-geuk. Not only did he not get affected by the mountain poison, but he was able to block all of Gwangseom’s attacks at close range. And he killed him with an even faster sword technique.
If the Quick Sword Technique is not a unique martial art of the Sword Masters, then it is a basic technique that defeats the Gwangseom.
‘They are much stronger than us!’
I knew the leader was special, but I didn’t know he was this strong.
He politely gave a round of applause and thanked Geommugeuk.
“Little Leader, thanks to you, my life was saved. If you need any help in the future, please contact me.”
“Yes, I do. Please take good care of my friend from now on.”
Then he looked at Visain. It seemed like he was making a polite request, but it was actually a warning to the monster. He told him not to treat Visain rudely.
The monster looked at the visage. The two exchanged a conversation with their eyes.
-How on earth did you become friends with this person?
-I don’t know. When I came to my senses, I realized that I was friends with that person.
Three people walked out of the building.
“By the way, when are you going to keep your promise?”
“What promise are you talking about?”
“I promised that if I survive, I’ll dance in front of people. I’ll reserve the front row seat.”
“When did I make that promise?”
The visa was just taken away.
“I’m sorry, but there are witnesses.”
The swordsman looked at the evil spirit.
“Did you hear the promise the little prince made?”
The evil spirit looked back and forth between the sword dance and the secret sign. It had already been decided whose side he should take.
“What promise? I’ve never heard of it.”
“I guess you’ll meet more minor leaders than me in your life?”
The monster smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.
“A mere instructor dares to aim for the position of leader of the Apostles? Come on, let’s go. We can’t stand to see others do well again.”
