Episode 721 I’m back. (One)
Paaaaat!
The scenery is disorganized.
The disciples of Hwasan crossed the mountain like black thunderbolts.
Baekcheon’s gaze was always focused on Cheongmyeong, who was running in the lead.
“Sasuk.”
Only at Yunjong’s call did Baekcheon turn his head. Yunjong’s expression was slightly shaken.
“Why did All People just let us go?”
“… … .”
Baekcheon frowned slightly and pondered. He couldn’t give a clear answer to this either.
“I don’t know either.”
“We have already been to war once. If it were me, I would never have let go… … .”
Although Jang Il-so visited Hwasan to celebrate the opening of the Cheonwoo Meng faction, that does not mean that Hwasan and Maninbang reconciled with each other.
They are still the enemy.
Baekcheon laughed bitterly.
“… … How can we know the thoughts of someone who is a loser?”
It was truly bizarre. By nature, an impression of a person tends to fade every time we encounter it.
No matter how powerful a presence it is, if you encounter it multiple times, you get used to it. Familiarity creates comfort, and comfort takes away intensity.
However, the defeated Jang Il-so was exactly the opposite.
The impression I had when I saw it this time was twice as strong as when I saw it before. His smiling face and gentle hand gestures were unforgettable, as if they were engraved before his eyes, and they felt cool as if they were glued to the back of his hand.
This was the first or second time in my life that I had seen someone with such a strong presence.
“Still, I was lucky.”
“… … “Well, that’s fine.”
“yes?”
Baekcheon’s eyes turned to Cheongmyeong’s back.
If, instead of this situation, they had faced Jang Il-so in a situation where there was nothing to object to, would Qingmyeong have retreated like they do now without mixing swords?
no. Probably not.
He is a man who does not know how to back down from someone he considers to be his enemy. There may be some hesitation due to the safety of the group… … . Even so, he wouldn’t have backed down as easily as he does now.
There is only one reason.
Baekcheon’s eyes turned to the luggage wrapped around Cheongmyeong.
‘I couldn’t bear it.’
I am not a person who is afraid of death. What he was afraid of was that the recovered remains would be abandoned again in this far away land.
In order to avoid that situation, he accepted a humiliating, if humiliating, deal.
It was difficult for Baekcheon to imagine how Cheongmyeong must be feeling right now.
“What kind of relationship is this?”
Jo Geol quietly joined the conversation. Although he was out of breath from running so fast, he couldn’t help but feel curious.
“If you are a disciple of the Thirteenth Generation, didn’t you participate in the war against the Demonic Cult in the past?”
“… … “I guess so.”
Baekcheon also clearly saw that parts of his white bones were stained black. Haven’t they already experienced it? That’s a typical phenomenon that appears when you’re attacked by magic.
“What on earth is the relationship between such a person and Cheongmyeong?”
“… … Aren’t they descendants?”
Jo Geol frowned slightly at Baek Cheon’s words.
“Of course, marriage is not prohibited in volcanoes, and it is true that one can marry freely… … Still, in the midst of that urgent war… … .”
“You sound strange. The thirteenth disciple of the time would have been at the level of an elder. “I am already old enough to see my grandchildren.”
“ah… … .”
Jo Geol nodded as if she understood.
“It wouldn’t be surprising if Cheongmyeong said he was that person’s descendant. “From the time he first heard of the volcano, he was trying to explain his relationship with it.”
But Jo Geol tilted her head again as if there was still something she didn’t understand.
“Then why did Cheongmyeong come to Hwasan?”
“hmm?”
“Others say it feels awkward to turn their backs on the volcano and leave on their own, but if you are that person’s descendants, that’s okay too… … .”
“You never know.”
Baekcheon shook his head.
“Just because our ancestors sacrificed their lives for the volcano, there is no guarantee that their descendants will remain with the volcano until the end.”
“… … That is true.”
“Perhaps, even though he is a descendant of that person, he felt guilty about leaving the volcano and was unable to return for a long time. “Cheongmyeong is a very ancestral event for him, so it doesn’t really matter.”
Then this time, Yunjong frowned.
“But no matter how filial a person is, how can he weep so much just because he found the remains of an ancestor who passed away a hundred years ago?”
“… … .”
“This is the first time I’ve seen Cheongmyeong look like that. no… … I never even imagined that he could do that. This is so… … .”
“… … .”
Baekcheon also didn’t understand that at all and just stared at Cheongmyeong’s back.
I don’t know.
What kind of story is there with that guy, and why did he have to show up like that?
but… … .
“Sajil is sandy.”
At that time, Yu Iseol suddenly opened her mouth.
As the gazes of the three people poured in, Yu Iseol continued to run while looking straight ahead with an expressionless expression on her face.

“Will it make a difference if you know?”
“… … No, accident. “It’s not like that.”
“Whatever the story is, it’s my business.”
A smile appeared on Baekcheon’s lips when he heard those words.
Although he is a quirky guy, he gets the point across from time to time and puts people’s minds at ease.
“I see.”
Baekcheon cleared his throat once and continued speaking.
“Yeah, me too. No matter what the story is with this guy, he is my business. Even if that guy is a descendant of those who left the volcano, or a descendant of someone who committed a serious crime against the volcano and ran away, or a murderer who killed hundreds of people somewhere and fled to the volcano… … .”
“Sasook. “Please think again about the last one.”
“Are you out of your mind?”
“… … .”
Oh, was that a bit excessive?
“Hmm. anyway.”
Baekcheon cut it firmly.
“I wouldn’t be surprised no matter what comes out of his mouth. I don’t even want to worry about it. “Right now, the guy himself is too much to handle, so how can we care about his story?”
“… … “He is like that too.”
“So stop thinking useless things. “The first thing to do is to return to the volcano.”
“yes.”
Yunjong answered calmly and glanced at Cheongmyeong’s back.
‘We are the descendants of those who ran away.’
In fact, it is most reasonable to think that way.
But Yoonjong knew. No, not only that, but everyone probably knows the truth.
The story behind Cheongmyeong is not that simple.
Perhaps what I saw this time was the cause of the strange heaviness that Cheongmyeong sometimes felt.
‘I guess we’re still not good enough.’
Yoonjong bit his lip slightly.
If he thought it was trustworthy enough, Cheongmyeong would have told me my story. Nevertheless, the fact that they haven’t said anything yet means that they are still lacking.
So Yoonjong decided not to scold Cheongmyeong.
‘Someday… … .’
If that Cheongmyeong guy can one day completely trust and rely on them, then he will definitely tell them.
certainly.
“Don’t fall behind, girl!”
“Yes, death penalty!”
Hwasan’s disciples ran forward, each with their own thoughts.
Following Cheongmyeong’s back.
* * *
“Hmmmm.”
When Hwasan’s disciples were so far away that they could not even be seen, Jang Il-so curled up the corner of his mouth as if he was amused.
“It’s the soul… … .”
Jang Il-so, who was giggling again as if it was funny, covered his mouth. A mocking voice leaked out between his white fingers.
“What a soul holding a piece of smelly ashes! I thought he was a really smart guy… … Anyway, he’s such a fun guy.”
“ark!”
Ho Jiaming could not bear to see Jang Ilso like that and raised his voice.
“You can’t let it go like this! Don’t you know? The author is a tiger cub!”
“A pseudonym.”
Jang Il-so arched his eyebrows and clicked his tongue as if feeling sorry.
“Why are you so excited? “What’s so great about a tiger cub?”
“ark!”
Ho Jiamyeong gritted his teeth because his stomach was on the verge of bursting out.
“Anyone who sees a tiger cub tries to raise it. But in the end, they are likely to die from being bitten by an adult tiger.”
“… … .”
“Of course, Ark is not an ordinary person, but that tiger cub is also not an ordinary person. Maybe that damn fang will one day find its way into the Ark’s neck! “There is no use regretting your decision now!”
Despite Hu Jia-myeong’s fierce and desperate cries, Jang Il-so’s expression was simply displeased.
“so?”
“Let me chase! I will kill that guy and come back! What could be a bigger mistake than looking at the ark and the great world and losing sight of comfort? Even now, that guy… … .”
“A pseudonym.”
Hu Jiaming, who was speaking, was momentarily shocked and closed his mouth.
Jang Il-so’s voice was colder than usual. no… … . It seemed like it was boiling rather than cold.
“Did you say comfort?”
“… … ark?”
Jang Il-so slowly looked back at his family name.
Seeing his eyes flashing with madness, Hu Jiaming unconsciously forgot to breathe.
“You are right. Someday, I will tell that tiger… … . No, I might get my head cut off by that monster.”
“… … .”
“I know. If he’s thinking, he should kill him here. It is extremely foolish to release a tiger cub with a grudge into the field without killing it. No matter how weak and feeble I am, I have to flex my spine and get rid of the back pain.”
“But why…” … .”
“A pseudonym.”
Jang Il-so’s tone of voice was as soft as always, but it seemed as if something like the howl of an animal could be heard inside.
“What is comfort and all that?”
“… … .”
“The moment a guy with a knife worries about my safety, he loses the right to live with a knife. Once you start climbing the cliff, there is no way back down. It’s also impossible to stop in the middle. “He who clings to the cliff has no choice but to climb and climb again!”
Jang Il-so spread his arms wide. The wide silk sleeves fluttered majestically. There is probably only one person in the world who suits this exaggerated gesture so well.
“Tell me! Who am I that you know! Who am I that you want! Do you want me to be like a pig stuck in a closet, refusing to climb higher in order to save my life? Or do you want me to be like a wolf who falls off a cliff and dies, even if it means risking his life?”
“ark… … .”
“Answer me!”
A loud voice rang out. Jang Il-so’s eyes glared at Hu Jia-myeong as if he were going to tear him up and kill him.
“Who am I!”
Hu Jiaming closed his eyes.
It was not a turning away, but a deep-seated understanding.
“You… … .”
A voice like a moan comes out.
“… … Defeated… … . “You are the defeated Jang Il-so.”
That’s enough.
Jang Il-so, who was holding his own face as if trying to rip it off, bent down to his waist and laughed softly.
‘Not yet.’
Uncontrollable laughter kept breaking out.
‘It’s not time to turn the tables yet. Not yet.’
The volcano god dragon still has a role to play.
Comfort? life?
Of course it’s important. There is nothing I cannot do to protect my life.
But to him, what is more important than life is value.
What he can’t stand the most is living a cheap life that doesn’t change anything.
‘It’s not like this.’
Shinju Ohpae?
A room for everyone?
Defeated?
That wasn’t even funny.
He can never be satisfied with that much. He was born that way. Even if he devours the whole world and puts it in his stomach, he will not be satisfied.
I can do anything to satisfy this extreme hunger. Even if it means cutting off one’s own head with one’s own hands.
Jang Il-so stuck out his red tongue and slowly licked his lips.
‘This is just the beginning.’
Jang Il-so laughed out loud, recalling Cheongmyeong’s fierce gaze.
There was an unconcealable fear and awe in the eyes of Hu Jiaming and the Maninbangdo who looked up to him.
