The World’s Greatest is Dead Chapter 122

The World’s Greatest Man is Dead Episode 122

The night unfolded.

A world blackened with soot.

As if night is really coming, everything before my eyes is dark.

A darkness that makes it impossible to see anything looms before Dangcheonil.

It was a terribly dark world.

How can it be night when I put down my sword?

I can’t understand.

Dangcheonil stared at the night frozen. It was dark and pitch black all around, and he couldn’t see anything.

Watching such a night, Dangcheonil suddenly realizes.

‘ah.’

This isn’t just night.

This is it.

‘Is it a revolving lantern?’

What unfolded before him was a kaleidoscope resembling the night.

Night fell under Bang Seong-yeon’s sword.

It was another name for a lantern.

Are you dying?

Confidence in that ignorant guy?

In such a worthless way?

It’s an unbelievable reality.

Thinking about that, Dangcheonil let out a hollow laugh.

What I remembered then was that there was also a fundamental feeling of fear of death.

It was someone’s face that came to mind as a joke.

I’m talking about the face of my sister who looks innocent for her age.

As I was accepting the night that had come so slowly,

Twinkle.

‘uh?’

Something sparkled in Dangcheonil’s eyes.

A night when nothing could be seen.

In the meantime, something was slowly emitting light.

It was divided into several parts and slowly glowed, and when it rose at night, it looked like a star.

It gradually grew in size and was covered in blue light, resembling the moon.

It is a heterogeneous phenomenon.

That reminded me of Dangcheonil.

beautiful.

The light made me think of that without me knowing it.

What is this? What on earth is it that makes it shine so brightly?

To Dangcheonil, who was quietly looking at the light.

“What the hell is this crazy guy?”

A voice was heard.

At that moment.

Hwaaaaah-!

The darkness that had been covering the whole day is clearing.

All the darkness disappeared, and all that remained before my eyes were the rising stars and the moon.

no.

At first I thought it was like that, but as Dangcheonil came to his senses, he was able to figure out the identity.

It’s not the stars and the moon.

This is it.

‘… … Health… … .’

It was the sword spirit of the bastard that bloomed on Bang Seong-yeon’s sword blade.

The form was so splendid that it looked like stars and moon.

The sword in front.

Bang Sung-yeon held a sword in front of Dang Cheon-il’s forehead.

The word it refers to was one.

“Are you laughing? You really have strange tastes.”

“… … .”

Lost.

Myself.

I am one of the seven.

It meant that he lost to Bang Sung-yeon.

Dangcheonil, who remembered that, quickly erased the smile he had been unconsciously making.

* * *

I won.

‘I won.’

I won.

He defeated the genius known as Chilgeol in a duel.

Not even with Yoo Cheon-gil’s help.

‘With my own hands.’

He caught the poisonous dragon Dangcheonil with his own hands.

That fact makes my back heat up.

I felt a tingling sensation running up my spine and all the way to my head.

‘under.’

I laughed inside.

What should I call this?

Even though it wasn’t a normal fight, Dangcheonil didn’t know my moves, while I knew Dangcheonil’s moves.

‘I won seven battles.’

But that doesn’t mean the heightened elation goes away.

The seven most outstanding of all the post-war indices in the current Central Plains.

I defeated one of them.

Until just a few months ago, he was a third-rate drone with nothing.

Now, we have reached the level where we can beat Chilgeol.

It was surprising even when I thought about it myself.

Hwaak-!

He retrieved the sword, spun it around, and swung it into the air.

The knotted black knot is released. I checked my danjeon while watching it.

‘… … I almost got into trouble.’

My stomach was completely empty. However, after taking the Daehwandan, my betting had increased to an incomparable degree compared to before.

The bet was already on the floor, having used it once during training and once during the current non-combat.

‘If we had dragged it out a little longer, we would have lost.’

If the duel had been just a little bit longer, I would have lost to Tang Cheon-il because I would have lost all my energy.

This victory was nothing short of a miracle.

at that time.

[Tug, tug, tug.]

Yoo Cheon-gil, who had not said a word during the ceremony, burst into laughter as soon as it ended.

He was looking at me with his characteristically rough smile.

[It was good for a joke. There are a few disappointing parts, but it was worth watching.]

Even though people worked hard, the evaluation is really lacking.

The expression ‘it was good’ is particularly pleasing to the ear.

I always heard that it wasn’t bad, but this time it was different.

[Kkeu kkeu – Your expression looks good. So, how are you feeling?]

“… … .”

Feeling? Well.

“… … Not bad.”

As I spoke with a weary breath, Yoo Chun-gil laughed heartily.

-Hahahahaha.

Oh, it’s noisy.

Because he’s frowning and covering his ears.

“Your Majesty the Prince-!”

“hmm?”

Someone came running and called me. To my surprise, it was Dang Ye-ran.

“……what?”

How long have you been here?

I didn’t notice it because I was so focused on the situation. Even behind Dang Ye-ran, there was Mo Yong-yeong-sun leaning against the wall and looking this way.

‘… …Your eyes are angry?’

An expression that looks particularly unpleasant catches the eye.

He was already quite shy, but he was even more so today. Why are you looking at me like that?

‘ah.’

It wasn’t long before I realized why.

‘You said you’d talk, but you never went.’

After eating and asking Dang Ye-ran for a favor, I said I would go and talk to her that day.

I didn’t go to Mo Yong-sun that day.

It was night and I was watching Dang Ye-ran repairing her sword.

That’s because when night fell, I went straight to sleep, saying I had solved my nightmare.

As a result, I forgot my promise with Mo Yong-sun.

‘So that’s why it’s those eyes.’

That must be why he has such fierce eyes.

Gulp.

I swallowed dry saliva. Should I just pretend to pass out? I thought about it for a moment, but I knew it was pointless.

‘… … There’s no way I could be fooled.’

There’s no way that would work on that quick-witted woman. So what’s the only way?

‘I should ignore it.’

Just ignore it.

I had to ignore it for now.

“Your Majesty. Are you okay…?”

“Oh, yes. That’s okay.”

Dang Ye-ran came to me with concern and asked.

But if you’re going to worry, shouldn’t you be worrying about the next day instead of me?

Even though he was her older brother, Dang Ye-ran didn’t pay any attention to Dang Cheon-il.

“Are you sure you’re okay…? Are you hurt anywhere-”

“No, there isn’t. It’s okay.”

I stopped it because it seemed like it was coming too close.

When I blocked it with my hand, only then did Dang Ye-ran widen her eyes and stop.

It seemed like he realized that he had gotten too close.

And then.

“… … What are you doing?”

Only then did he turn his gaze towards Dangcheonil.

But the eyes were quite different.

“Brother. Just like yesterday, what kind of rudeness are you showing to your guests today?”

Dang Ye-ran is looking at Dang Cheon-il with strength in her eyes.

That gaze felt sharp in its own way.

Plus.

“How long… How long will this go on?”

The voice he spoke in was filled with frustration and sadness.

“I know it’s my fault. I know you’re taking it out on me because you don’t like me. But, what did I do so wrong…? What do you not like about me that makes me feel so pathetic?”

The reddened eyes are colorful.

Dang Cheon-il, who received Dang Ye-ran’s gaze, looks at her.

I felt no strength in my hunched body.

“… … I don’t like the fact that I’m trying to be a night watchman instead of a man-”

“It seems you are still being generous when it doesn’t fit the topic.”

Dang Cheon-il cuts off Dang Ye-ran. Dang Ye-ran frowns upon hearing that.

“What did you say… … ?”

When Dang Ye-ran glared at him, Dang Cheon-il staggered and got up.

“Did you ask if I liked it?”

Dangcheonil looks at Dangyeran.

“I don’t like it. Even though you’re a blood relative of the Tang family, you’re trying to run away from your job. I really don’t like it enough to want to kill you.”

“That-! I… … .”

“And the fact that it’s because of me is so disgusting that it makes me want to vomit.”

“… … !”

Dang Ye-ran, who was about to protest, closed her mouth at Dang Cheon-il’s words.

It was a face that had been hit hard.

Dangcheonil’s face darkens at that reaction.

“Am I that funny?”

“… … Brother. That’s not it… … .”

“You made it shabby?”

Sigh.

Dangcheonil laughed. It was a hollow laugh.

“Who? Me you? Or. You me… …?”

“… … .”

Dang Ye-ran couldn’t answer. Dang Cheon-il, who was watching, moved.

widely-!

He passes by, hitting Dang Ye-ran’s shoulder, who was standing still.

“Bad year.”

He cursed in a whisper and walked away.

He staggered out and looked like he was going to collapse any moment.

“… … .”

As I was looking at it, I thought:

‘… … That son of a bitch. He’s just going to leave?’

Even though I was doing it with him, I felt like I was being ignored.

* * *

Things calmed down a bit and I returned to my quarters from the training ground.

String.

‘Ah.’

I grimaced involuntarily at the pain I felt in my body.

My body hurts quite a bit. Is it a reaction to the rain?

‘It doesn’t look like you’ve been using your body that hard.’

It hurt more than I expected.

I’ve often fought with Cheon Ui-jin, but this was the first time I felt like this.

Using a sword, or something.

‘Is it because I fought against someone of a higher level than me?’

I don’t know exactly what Dangcheonil’s level is, but I know he’s stronger than me.

This fight was won simply by luck.

but.

‘But I won anyway.’

The corners of my mouth kept going up. I stopped them with my hand.

I still felt good about beating Chilgol.

I’m trying to hold it in for fear that it might show on my face.

[… … Tsk tsk tsk… … You loser… … .]

Yoo Cheon-gil looks at me with a pitiful expression, as if he had already noticed everything.

I tried to ignore it and put more effort into controlling my facial expression.

It had to be that way now.

Because the expression on the person in front of me was particularly bad.

Dang Ye-ran, who had come to see me since morning, had a very bad expression on her face, perhaps because of what had just happened.

He seemed to be thinking a lot about something, and his face looked quite sad and upset.

Should I ask why? I thought about it, but decided not to.

I thought it was polite to ignore them unless they spoke first.

Even if that’s not the case.

‘I don’t really want to get involved.’

Whatever the circumstances, I thought there was no need to get involved.

“Your Majesty. What is this?”

So I just looked elsewhere.

When he asks while pointing to the object wrapped in cloth on the table with his hand, Dang Ye-ran comes to her senses upon hearing those words.

“ah……!”

And then he quickly unravels the cloth with his hands.

“oh?”

I exclaimed in admiration at the object that appeared as the curtain lifted.

[……her.]

The same goes for Yoo Cheon-gil. He let out a soft breath as he looked at the sword that appeared.

A black blade.

A new blade was made from the handle and the tip of the sword I had brought.

As soon as I saw that, I felt like all the hairs on my arms stood on end.

It was creepy. It was a feeling that came over me just by looking at it.

“… …Completed… …Completed, Your Majesty.”

Dang Ye-ran says with a proud face.

What she brought was the sword I had entrusted to her.

[… … Heavenly Horse Sword.]

The Heavenly Horse Sword.

It was a divine sword that Cheonma used in the past.

As the name suggests, the sword felt like it would cut me just by looking at it.

‘Is it made properly?’

I don’t know much about this, so I don’t know if this is a good idea.

Judging from Dang Ye-ran’s reaction, it seems like it went well… … .

I glanced towards Yucheon-gil, not being sure.

I nodded my head while looking at the old man.

‘I guess it went well.’

Yoo Cheon-gil is busy looking at the new sword with surprised eyes.

I can tell from those eyes that Dang Ye-ran has done it right.

“… …Thank you for your hard work.”

“Do you like… … it… … ?”

Dang Ye-ran asked with a worried voice. I nodded at her words.

“Yes. I really like it. As expected, it was a good idea to ask you.”

“ah-!”

When he spit out the affirmation, Dang Ye-ran burst out with the reaction she had been holding back.

He smiled as if he was relieved, and his smile looked particularly bright.

“Thank goodness… … Thank goodness… … Really fortunate… … .”

“Miss Tang… …? Miss Tang!”

Dang Ye-ran, who was talking, suddenly collapses.

I was startled when I saw that and approached him.

[Don’t worry. I just fell asleep because I was tired.]

“… … .”

That was right. Dang Ye-ran was fast asleep.

[You must have been quite focused. You didn’t realize it until you had used up all your energy. You’re an amazing kid.]

I agree. He’s a great guy.

So, I guess I can be a soul mate at this age.

After gently laying down the fallen Dang Ye-ran.

I looked back at the sword.

A pitch-black blade. A handle of dark gray.

The monotonous appearance and the presence felt from the sword make me feel tense.

[Try to catch it.]

I wanted to touch it anyway. Yoo Chun-gil spoke to me first.

Didn’t refuse.

I grabbed the handle carefully.

Okay then.

Clang–!!!

“… … !!”

Goosebumps run down my hand.

My whole body felt like it was being charged with electricity.

“… … What.”

It sticks to your hand.

The grip felt strange, as if something had been applied to the handle.

So he looked at the sword as if it was strange.

[Hahahahaha-!]

Suddenly, Yoo Cheon-gil laughs loudly.

[… … As expected, it’s you.]

“… … What do you mean?”

[That picky guy would choose you right away. This is something I didn’t expect, but it’s actually good. It’s a hundred times better than hating it.]

“yes……?”

[Handle it well. It is an unprecedented sword. From now on, it will be your beloved weapon.]

“… … ?”

After hearing Yoo Cheon-gil’s words, I had to sit there in a daze for a moment. And so, a little while passed.

My sword?

Love and illness… …?

“No, what!?”

I came to my senses belatedly and asked again.

I had to scream without realizing it.
