Absolute Regression Chapter 67

Resize text-+=

The 67th Hanchang is at this age.

The next day I went to see my father.

It was to report what had happened with the leader of the Pungcheon cult.

I’m sure your father knows the general situation at school, but what I tell you and what Sima Ming reports are completely different matters.

My father happened to be practicing at the time.

I was waiting outside when I got a call telling me to come in.

“Please come into the training center.”

The sound coming from the air was my father’s signal, Hwi. It had been a long time since I heard his voice.

“It’s been a while, sir.”

“Yes, your highness.”

A short answer came. I remember walking down Magachon Street while holding Hwi’s hand when I was young. I think I begged him to buy me street food. Anyway, the memory of that day remained as a good memory for me.

“Sir, when will I see you again? I will treat you to a meal.”

“yes.”

“Take it easy, sir.”

I couldn’t tell exactly how he would take my kindness, or what his current feelings were toward me. It might have been a pleasant memory for me, but it might have been a dull routine for him.

Still, you should be close to him. He was the person your father trusted the most.

I prepared myself mentally and entered the training center.

just as expected.

Today too, my father attacked with the Hades Treasure.

I avoided the flashing light and struck my father’s Heavenly Demon Sword with the Black Magic Sword. It was the first clash between the Black Magic Sword and the Heavenly Demon Sword, and it was a much more dangerous attempt than simply avoiding it. Naturally, my father noticed the change in my realm at a glance.

“Your skills have improved!”

My father also attacked while his level of the Underworld Treasure was much higher, but he blocked it in a more dangerous way.

“Of course it should increase. I will be the one who does the most martial arts training at our school. No, it’s probably the second. Ian does the most.”

“Why don’t you think it’s the third time?”

From these words, I could guess how diligently my father was practicing the Fengshen Sabo.

‘Father, you are doing well. You must achieve great success. You must!’

I walked out of the training center with my father. We walked side by side and talked.

“What brings you here?”

“The leader of the Pungcheon sect wants to join hands with me. I have a feeling that there has been a split with Palmazone. Did you know about it?”

I didn’t necessarily mention that he taught me the art of time-space transfer. This was something that even the leader of the Fengchun sect would not reveal to the outside world.

My father saw the essence of this matter as follows.

“It was arrogant of the demons to bring the leader of the Fengchun cult here. They should have gone to find him and resolved the matter. If they were going to bring him, they should have gone to him and asked him.”

“I have wrongly touched the pride of the leader of the Pungcheon sect.”

There are probably many reasons why he is pushing for a move to the midfield, but when you look at them one by one, you get the feeling that the one at the very bottom might really be his wounded pride.

“The things that we neglect as if they are nothing in particular end up becoming the biggest problems. This incident is clearly a mistake by the Amazons.”

I could see my father’s agony. He would rather watch the demons fight the leader of the Fengchun cult than get rid of those who lack loyalty.

However, since it was obvious that if they, the main force of the school, collapsed, the Murim Alliance would eventually attack, Palmazone was a necessary evil for Father.

“Why did the leader of Pungcheon come to me instead of going to see my father?”

This time too, my father’s answer was firm.

“The first reason is because you find it difficult for me, and the second reason is because I think it’s easy to take advantage of you.”

“What are you trying to do with me?”

I asked as if I didn’t know anything.

“Ask your soldiers your questions.”

“I don’t have a military?”

“I have to save him.”

“Where can you find someone as smart as General Sima?”

My father just snorted.

“It is the luxury of those who have!”

Indeed, it is my ultimate mission to find a soldier as smart as Sima Ming.

“Aren’t you doing well without the military?”

“Thank you for saying that, but most things work out just because I’m lucky.”

I am not a military type of person, but I am trying to overcome the situation based on my many experiences before returning. I definitely need a military person who can assist me with foresight and insight.

“Just answer this question. What does the leader of the Fengchun sect want?”

My father stopped walking and answered.

“His dream is to advance to the Central Plains.”

“Are you a person who never leaves the throne to protect the sacred water?”

“That’s his obsessive personality.”

“My dream is to advance to the Central Plains, that’s what I’m saying.”

Before his return, the leader of the Fengchun sect was unable to advance into the Central Plains. Because the fire weapon swept through the martial arts world, he never dared set foot in the Central Plains and ended his life in Sae-oe.

But as I returned, his life also changed. He came to the Central Plains, where he would not have come originally, and he came directly to the main school.

“For generations, the Sae-Oe clan has aimed for the Central Plains. Although they have never succeeded, the desire to advance into the Central Plains is in their blood.”

“Now I know why you came to me.”

It was something I knew without having to ask my father, but I acted as if I had heard it from him. Sometimes, you have to act like you don’t know even if you know it. It was more of a courtesy to my father than an abomination.

Most parents in the world would want their children to come to them and ask them this question. Would it be any different for a father?

At least this part was no different. Otherwise I wouldn’t have said this.

As I was about to go inside, my father added bluntly.

“Since you’re here, why don’t you eat something before you go?”

“yes!”

The best thing is when my father tells me to eat before I go.

But I didn’t say anything nice. I knew that if I did, he would never ask me to eat before I go.

He is definitely not an easy father.

* * *

When I returned to Hwangcheon-gak after finishing dinner with my father, I received a visit from an unexpected person. It was Ma-bul who came to see me.

“Welcome, sir.”

“It’s too late to come once.”

This was the first time I had seen him this close. He seemed smaller than he had been from a distance, and as I looked at his golden skin, I felt like touching it with my hands.

No way.

He is truly his brother’s right-hand man.

“Okay, please sit down.”

“Okay.”

Mabul sat down. He really hated being looked down at. That must be the reason why he kept his back straight even when sitting.

“My friend’s important sacred object has been stolen, so how can I just sit back and do nothing? I’ve come to find out how the investigation is going.”

“I am currently investigating this case myself.”

“Is it really true that there were thieves?”

“Is that true? What do you mean?”

When I asked him naturally, he made a face as if he didn’t know and was asking.

“How can we believe that there were thieves in our school building?”

“Isn’t it harder to believe that the leader of the Pungcheon cult staged the play?”

From the start, we created a tense atmosphere.

There was a soft golden light in his eyes as well. It was a phenomenon that only those who achieved great success in the Golden Great Ramadhan appeared.

Just how strong is Mabul’s martial arts? The Golden Great Lama Art that Mabul learned was as difficult to deal with as the sorcery of the Soul Demon Art.

“If there really was a thief in our temple, our school’s reputation will be greatly damaged.”

“I guess so.”

“Shouldn’t we handle this quietly?”

“How do you say that?”

“How about sending him back to the outside world for now so he can stop talking nonsense? It’s not like we can catch the thief if he’s there anyway.”

It was clearly a plot device. He was convinced that it was a hoax, and he believed that I was helping him with it.

“Will you listen to me, a mere footnote?”

“I heard that the leader of the Pungcheon Church came to see Janelle?”

“I came to say hello.”

“The leader of the Pungcheon sect believes that you will be his successor.”

“I didn’t show it. Why do you think so?”

“Otherwise, he is not the kind of person who would seek out anyone. He is used to being greeted by someone. If he sought you out, he must have seen the potential of a successor.”

Even as he spoke, he constantly tried to read my mind by observing my reactions. I’m sorry to say, but that’s an attempt that even my father failed at.

“Lee Gongja, we must send him back for the sake of our school.”

It was a remark intended to kill two birds with one stone.

If I send him back, that will be fine, but if I refuse this offer, it can be seen as me not moving for the sake of the school.

“No. Then we shouldn’t send him back.”

“What do you mean?”

“As you said, he will use this incident as an excuse to tarnish our school’s reputation. Then we should keep him. On the contrary, he will not be able to open his mouth carelessly while he is at our school. I will tell him in a subtle way. If you want to find new water, don’t open your mouth carelessly.”

For a moment, Mabul was at a loss for words. Of course, that didn’t mean he was the kind of person who would come to pick one and then leave with another.

“The leader of the Pungcheon Church is a sly man. He must have other intentions.”

“Then I will pretend to hold his hand and find out his intentions.”

“You’re so stubborn, you’ll probably become a great Hwangcheonjo in the future.”

“Mostly in things I believe are right.”

Mabul took those words as a reprimand that he was not a good person.

As if he thought this was his chance, Mabul quickly made a hand sign with his fingers.

Transforming the Dharma Light Seal!

In that moment, a golden light emanated from Mabul’s body.

The opponent cannot open his eyes for a moment in this light that is stronger than the sun. This fleeting moment is like an eon to the powerful demons. Should I stab him here or there? No, let’s stab him in both places.

I closed my eyes too.

But before I closed my eyes, I could see that my eyes were barely affected by the light. I could clearly see the golden light pouring out of his body, and the demonic flame moving in the center of it.

At that moment, what shone was not the Golden Dragon, but my divine eye technique.

But I deliberately closed my eyes. There was no need to reveal my skills to Mabul.

When I opened my eyes again, Mabul was pushing his face right in front of my nose.

His face, which seemed both childlike and adultlike, felt unfamiliar.

The way he looked at me was exactly like this.

If I had decided to kill you, you would be dead already!

He was a man who could be confident. The Golden Great Rama Duke had five seals in total. You don’t have to experience it to know how scary the attack will be after flying in with your eyes covered like this.

I didn’t say anything. I just pretended to be surprised and afraid, if not terrified.

Perhaps thinking that this was sufficient warning, Mabul stood up from his seat. He said something contrary to what he had said when Bloodthirsty Demon first came to see me.

“I want to see you often. Drinking tea and talking like this. If you stay with me, only good things will happen to you.”

“Share a lot with your brother.”

Mabul smiled in satisfaction at my childish arrogance.

“Yeah, it’s the perfect age for this. See you later.”

“Take a look.”

As he walked out of the room, my deliberately tense expression disappeared and the room, once bathed in golden light, returned to its original state.

Listen, Mabul. You’d better not see me often. There are only three types of demons who are entangled with me so far.

Became friends, becoming friends, or dead.

Which one do you think? I don’t think we’ll become close as of now… … .

So, are you confident that you can create a fourth category?
