Episode 84
I plan to take it away somehow
Onma asked, tilting his head slightly to the side.
“…Brother, are you crying?”
“Sob sob! How could the foolish younger brother not shed tears in this situation!!”
Il-no happened to hear the conversation between Un-hui and the Lion King and was so moved that he ended up going outside and bursting into tears.
Onma, who was with him, ended up looking a little daunted.
If Ilno were a woman, she wouldn’t be saying things like that.
It was quite a sight to see an old man in his forties crying and snotting his eyes.
“Well, I understand your feelings, but to this extent-“
“Uhhhhhhhh! Young Master! In the past, present, and future! This Ilno’s life will exist only for the Young Master!!”
Ilno was so angry that he bowed deeply to the white light.
While doing so, he was shown an example of a mythical species, and Onma had to look around hurriedly in case anyone saw him.
Fortunately, no one seemed to have seen this.
“… I think this is what fanatics are talking about.”
Onma sighed lightly.

“… … .”
“… … .”
The friendly atmosphere that had existed until then was no longer there.
There was only a deep silence between me and the Lion King.
Then one of his eyebrows twitched.
“I came to the Kowloon branch house with some other hidden agenda, is that what you want to say?”
“Your eyes have become very fierce.”
“Your Majesty, punish that guy immediately! How dare he open his eyes like that, a heretic!!”
The room soon became warm and my skin felt warm.
The speculation he let out took over the room.
But I nodded calmly, drinking the glass he filled for me.
“yes.”
“You need to speak properly from now on.”
“Then isn’t it?”
“!!”
I stared quietly into the eyes of the Lion King.
“Before you were the head of a school, you were the best of the Guizhou martial arts world. The lion’s pace is very slow, but its weight is incomparable to that of a common man. It could shake the world. And you, the senior, are the one who knows your weight better than anyone else.”
Some say.
The Lion King, who was a former ronin, has a self-willed personality and his actions are said to be frivolous.
But that’s just ignorant nonsense based on outward appearances.
If one’s actions are frivolous, but one’s thoughts are also frivolous, can such a person ever rise to the position of supreme?
No, absolutely not.
I could bet my name on this.
Aren’t you the one who sat on the throne of the Cheonmasingyo, the pinnacle of the Hundred Thousand Demon Sects?
That’s why I knew very well how important it was to stand above someone’s head, to stand in front of someone and lead them.
No matter how generous a person’s personality was, countless calculations were bound to go through his head.
This was because only then could he maintain his position and gain the trust of those who followed him.
The same was true for the Lion King.
There must have been a reason why he personally dragged his heavy body all the way to Guryongbun-ga.
Danghosan also noticed this fact and was planning to send me to investigate the Lion King.
“The honor of the Lion King is of course important. But it is clear that you are looking at something greater than that.”
“…I told you, there’s no such thing-”
“Is it because of the Ark of the Covenant?”
“!!”
“I had a hunch, and it seems to be true.”
“You, were you watching me?”
The energy that had filled the room had now turned into speculation and was beginning to pressure me.
Golden gleams flashed sharply like teeth here and there.
It was a golden lion speculation.
I guess that means it hit the nail on the head.
The Lion King now looked ready to eat me.
I snorted lightly.
“Does that make sense? How am I supposed to monitor all that?”
“Then how on earth-”
“Well, that’s the only thing you would desperately want now, senior.”
Gwancheonseonggwi.
A state of entering the spirit world where one begins to absorb the flow of the weather and put it into one’s body.
The Master had already been walking along that path, and countless horses struggled to chase after the Master and ended up falling.
But even in all that, my gaze would never leave my master’s back.
The look in their eyes was exactly like the look in the Lion King’s eyes now.

avarice.
period.
jealousy.
And the longing for power beyond that.
If those emotions become your driving force, you can reach the Heavenly Realm at any time, but if your reason takes over, you will never be able to reach the realm of a god and will fall.
It was clear that the Lion King was at that very crossroads.
“I heard from the leader that in the Central Plains, the Dark Lord and the Sword Emperor had reached that location. So, wouldn’t the King of Dao also have such a desire after his battle with the Sword Emperor?”
That would be right.
“Don’t you think that if you confront the shadow of the Dark Lord directly, you might be able to get some clues?”
“… … .”
“I guess that’s right.”
The lion king pursed his lips.
“So please tell me the truth, and I will help you in any way I can.”
The lion king was silent for a long time.
I guess I’ve thought a lot since I’ve been hit hard.
As I said, it wouldn’t be strange for someone like me to have a few snakes in their head.
So, you will be busy calculating what will be beneficial.
But I knew.
That he had no choice but to open his mouth in the end.
“No matter how hard I try to manipulate the big boss, it’s still in the palm of the cult leader’s hand-“
“Wouldn’t it be quite fun to watch someone being cooked?”
“How long do you think it will take you to open your mouth?”
“Well. About a day or so?”
“Hey, aren’t you holding it too long? Half an angle would be-“
“… As you know, I was originally a ronin.”
“It’s not even half an angle!?”
“What is half of half? At this point, it’s just a little bit of a stretch.”
The Lion King continued speaking slowly.
“Since I had no particular background, every day was a continuous struggle. Even now that I have established the sect, it is no different than before. Rather, more and more people are trying to take my place. It is hard to climb up, but it is always annoying when those lynxes from below attack me.”
“Am I in that lynx too?”
“no.”
The Lion King spoke bluntly.
“You are not a lynx. Rather, you are a lion, just like me.”
“… … .”
“That’s exactly why I want to fight you.”
Fangs flashed between the lion king’s parted lips.
“I knew from the first time I heard about you that you had claws. And today, seeing you like this, I can see it even more clearly. You’ve already started sharpening and polishing your claws.”
The claws he was talking about seemed to be the sword buried in my mind.
“Most people die without it. Most of them are idiots who don’t know how to get it. And-”
and?
“I am one of those idiots.”
“!!”
I opened my eyes wide.
“It’s a breakthrough.”
“No matter how much groundwork was laid, it’s hard to believe that a master of this caliber would be able to say something like that-“
“Is it okay for you to say that?”
The Lion King’s face crumpled slightly.
“When did you tell me?”
“I didn’t know you would be so honest. Actually, I thought you would either not answer or beat around the bush.”
“Because it’s a weakness?”
“yes.”
“Huh! It’s no problem for me to reveal such things. I wouldn’t mind if you went out and started telling people about it right away. Those who hide the fact that they are weak are actually weak, while those who try to fill that weakness are weak, but they’re not weak.”
I nodded quietly.
He was right.
It takes a great deal of courage to acknowledge your shortcomings and know how to fill them, and it becomes an opportunity for further development.
“A wounded lion will be hunted by lynxes. However, if you show your wounds and growl, the lynxes will retreat without bothering you. Do you know why that is?”
“Isn’t it because you’re afraid of my spirit?”
“That’s right. It’s the desperation and ferocity that comes from that weakness that tires out the lynxes.”
He seemed to have deeper pride in his ‘present’ passion than in his ‘past’ achievements.
“So, I, who don’t have claws, thought of taking your claws away somehow. But now that I look back, I think it was a very good choice. By the way, have you touched those claws, or have you touched someone else’s hand besides the Dark Lord?”
“!!”
Even if that’s the case, did he read the Master’s shadow?
“That person is probably just as skilled as Amjon. I think seeing that will be a great help in finding my claws.”
Did I talk too long and my mouth got dry?
Or maybe he felt thirsty because he had poured out all his feelings?
The Lion King now held a flask instead of a cup and drank it in gulps.
“… … .”
I just quietly watched the lion king.
Many thoughts were running through my head.
“At first, I thought he was just a greedy, narrow-minded person-“
“Still, I think the fact that he knows how to bow his head to a junior who is much younger than him shows his earnestness.”
Ugh!
The lion king put down the bottle he had emptied and exclaimed in admiration.
“Even though it was said after poking me in the ribs, I feel relieved after saying it all. Anyway, I’ve told you everything that happened. What are you going to do now?”
I nodded.
“Okay, I’ll help you.”
“Really?”
A strange heat appeared in the slightly dilated eyes of the Lion King.
It was the heat of longing.
“What good would it do for me to lie? I will show you my true feelings as you have shown me yours.”
“Thank you!”
“But there is a condition.”
“condition?”
At first, I just thought of him as a good cooking partner.
At that time, I was thinking that I should start practicing Cheonmagugyeom, so I thought that a duel with the Lion King would be a great experience.
But after talking so frankly like this, I think I understand.
He was not a man to be taken lightly.
Isn’t the bowl itself different?
A person like this is extremely rare even in the mountains.
‘I want it.’
He was a man who had all the characteristics of a traditional warrior, as the people of Mujin would say.
It would be perfect if I could put it in a Shinwhajong vessel.
“Please lend me a sword.”
“Can I borrow your sword?”
“Yes. I don’t know when that will be, but wouldn’t the claws of the Lion King be of immense value?”
The lion king laughed.
“Are you talking as if I already have claws?”
“I am sure you will get your claws soon.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t know if it was because of the clues I got from you, or because of a sudden realization, but I’m sure of it.”
“Hahahaha! It’s such a pleasant thing to hear, even though I know it’s a wise thing to say!”
The Lion King’s laughter filled the room, resounding loudly. Now there was no more fighting.
But unlike him, who dismissed it as a simple joke, I was really convinced of it.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work.”
“?”
“But if you treat me like an older brother, I think I might be able to listen to you.”
“!”
“As a man with pride, I can’t refuse my younger brother’s request to borrow my sword, can I?”
her!
It was such an unexpected remark that I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“What do you think?”
The lion king laughed as he lifted his glass.
A smile that, in some ways, seems to contain the ferocity of a lion.
We call each other brothers.
This was also a breakthrough.
Because the distribution of the Lion King was on par with that of Cheongcheon Sword Master or Dark Lord, and at least half a distribution ahead of Danghosan.
But doing this means that they are blatantly trying to turn the genealogy of Kangho into a dog genealogy.
It would not be strange if the inspirations of the boring political faction were foaming at the mouth.
But if you think about it, I too am from a religious group that is a hotbed of unconventionality.
If the mind is right, anything like this is possible.
In the end, I also raised my glass with a smile.
“As a younger brother, I cannot refuse what my brother says… I have no choice.”
The Lion King’s glass and mine clinked lightly.
The sunlight streaming in through the window filled both glasses.
