Episode 239
4.
Kim Yul (金律).
I faced the man with that echo.
‘You look good.’
The man had long hair. As the night wind swayed, her silver hair danced softly as if it had no weight. If you cut off that tiny root hanging from his scalp, his hair will go somewhere right away… … It felt like I was flying into some unnamed desert.
Yes. The silver hair seemed to yearn for a sandy desert. A place you left, a place you can leave at any time, a place you will leave. A longing for the sandy desert passed through each and every single hair.
“Mr. Kim Yul.”
“I was called. But, is this a demonic world? “There are so many powerful forces gathered that even if I were in my prime, I wouldn’t be able to decide the winner.”
Hazy blue eyes peered into the courtyard of the mansion. They were the elites of the Demonic Cult, and now the warriors of our family, the Blood Ghosts, met Kim Yul’s gaze with a ferocious look.
“—It’s quite a force.”
A part-time worker at a cafe who once reigned as an absolute powerhouse on the 50th floor of the tower evaluated him with a sincere expression. Well, Kim Yul always had a sincere face.
“If it is significant power, how much?”
“Even if I go up to the 50th floor like this, no one here will dare come close. “The witches who live in the magic tower spinning their webs will have to fight against you to determine who the owner of the 50th floor is.”
“There.”
I tapped Uburka on the arm.
“What if this child is added?”
“…….”
Kim Yul looked at Uburka’s whole body with careful eyes. From the lumpy chest muscles to the thighs that turned into eggs after getting stuck in them. Kim Yul slightly raised his eyebrows as Uburka’s prayer (氣道) tapped and tapped her muscles.
“That’s amazing. “Is it a monster?”
Kim Yul was expressionless.
However, I could see in his eyes that he was genuinely admiring it. If you were to read Kim Yul’s expressionless expression, there would be no authority better than the library director and me.
“It is the epitome of heavenly martial arts. There are martial arts warriors whose swords can only cut people apart with a single strike, so they are called human martial arts. There is a great warrior who expands the territory of the country with one swing of the sword, and this is called Jimu (地武). But Cheonmu (天武) is on a different level. Once you swing your sword and cut the sky, it doesn’t matter how many people die or how many countries fall under that blade. It’s huge. The power gathered in this mansion is already enough to attack and annihilate most constellations… … .”
“This is my son.”
“…….”
For the first time since being summoned, Kim Yul kept his mouth shut.
There was a faint but hint of confusion and confusion in the blue eyes.
I am someone who can confuse Kim Yul. how is it. Awesome, right?
“If it’s your son… … ?”
Kim Yul turned his head and looked at Uburka’s size, then at my size, and finally at Raviel. The most complex equations were playing out in his head. Surprisingly, there seemed to be white sweat beads on Kim Yul’s forehead.
“how? … … It’s impossible. It seems physically impossible and racially impossible. Curse of the Tower? Is it an effect of skill? No, but the growth rate… … .”
“He’s my adopted son.”
“Do you want to die, Death King?”
Before I knew it, Kim Yul’s hand was holding my neck tightly. Since it was a white ghost that had lost all of its prime strength, it didn’t hurt at all, but the blue eyes staring at me was a bit scary.
“Wow, your emotional expressions have become quite diverse. His face is still expressionless, but he looks at Uburka with admiration, and when he looks at me, he does something stupid… … .”
“I am also human. “There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Kim Yul released my neck and sighed.
“I lost the skill to gain strength by sacrificing memories. “The other half of my life is written in this notebook that contains the things I threw away.”
Kim Yul took the notebook out of his arms and looked down at it. A gaze filled with many emotions scanned the worn leather of the notebook.
“I have already thrown away everything I have to throw away, and it is impossible to throw away more, so the only thing left to do is to gain. Death King. Just as you promised me. I am living life.”
“Things that I didn’t feel before, and even if I did, would have been quickly thrown away, are slowly sinking and accumulating in my heart now. As more things accumulate, the sleep in my heart will gradually overflow. When that time comes, I too will be able to laugh, cry, get angry, and love like everyone else.”
Kim Yul looked at me.
“If you hadn’t brought the class president and reunited me, I would still have been just a machine with nothing in my heart. Death King. “It’s all thanks to you.”
I smiled.
“awesome. Mr. Yul Kim is a wonderful person. But, aren’t you disappointed?”
Kim Yul tilted his head.
“it’s a shame? “What do you mean, Death King?”
“You found someone precious to you, Mr. Kim Yul. Kim Yul’s class president. Although Hamustra is a little unreliable, he likes Kim Yul. Even if the skill to throw away memories comes back, you can’t throw it away without hesitation anymore, right?”
“…….”
Kim Yul was lost in thought with an expressionless expression.
“Yes.”
After a while he nodded.
“I can’t abandon them.”
“…….”
“There is a person who lived his life for my death. He is fascinated by my life and I have someone who loves me. Human beings enjoy all the luxuries that can be enjoyed from birth to death. “I cannot miss this luck.”
Kim Yul looked up at the night sky.
“is it.”
And then slowly looked back at my face.
“I am happy now. “Death King.”
“…….”
“You made me happy.”
What is in Kim Yul’s eyes is embarrassment, surprise, gratitude… … It wasn’t just that. Many emotions were truly shaking in his eyes, which were like the deep blue sea.
“Is that your wish?”
There were even unknown concerns mixed in there.
“Do you intend to make everyone you meet happy? “I tell you myself, it is not easy to make me like this.”
“OMG. “It was really difficult.”
“I lost my memory. You created [Trauma World] to help you regain the fragments of lost memories. I was unhappy. You brought the class president to prove that I wasn’t just unhappy. … … It is not cost-effective. Even applying ointment to one person’s wounds is very difficult, Death King. “What on earth are you dreaming about?”
Haha, I laughed and scratched my head.

“It’s nice to see.”
“what?”
“It’s great to see you all smiling.”
“…….”
When we become unhappy, there is a God who takes on our misfortune.
This is troublesome.
If you are already born, the best thing is to smile enough to achieve everything you wish for.
It’s difficult, but I think it’s worth it.
“Mr. Kim Yul.”
“Say it.”
“You now have things to protect.”
The director, Hamustra, and even the cafe Planetarium, which I really liked.
“But you don’t have the power to protect them.”
“…….”
“Now I can peacefully enjoy the smell of bookshelves and the scent of coffee in the cafe built in the Great Library. Even hunters can’t go up there and play games. I guaranteed its safety, and the Black Dragon, Pantheon, Chen Mumun, Sangryun, and the Vigilantes jointly invested in it. But, to put it another way, Kim Yul’s happiness now depends entirely on other people.”
I grabbed Kim Yul’s shoulder.
There was a time when I had to sacrifice my life because I couldn’t even touch this body.
But now it was so easy that Kim Yul couldn’t run away from me or shake off my touch.
“…….”
Kim Yul himself knew that.
So a ripple appeared in his beautiful eyes.
I looked into the wavelength with a smile.
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“…….”
“The director is weak. You’re old. If some crazy hunter decides to attack us, he will take revenge on us as cruelly as possible later, but even so, the director has no choice but to be helpless.”
A ripple trembled from Kim Yul’s shoulder where my hand touched it.
“Hamustra is no longer a constellation. He’s just a weak kid. A little boy who likes to read books. The child lost his powers. “If some crazy person attacks you, you die.”
“… … what.”
Kim Yul opened his lips.
“what do you want. to me.”
“If you ask me to protect you, I will protect you.”
I said.
“I will order those among my subordinate warriors who are sharp and quick-witted to infiltrate the library and be on guard 24 hours a day. That’s not all. Even if something happens and you die, I have the ability to turn back the day.”
“…….”
“You can leave everything to me.”
Even if that happens, it’s okay.
I won’t blame you.
As for the sins you have committed, all I have to do is take you with me and collect them.
but.
“If you don’t want to do that.”
If you choose something other than security and comfort.
“I will give Mr. Kim Yul his life back.”
Slowly, Kim Yul looked into my eyes.
“Life… … ?”
“I am a little stronger than before. An ability you had to give up when you became a white demon. skill. “I can give them all back.”
Kim Yul paused.
He looked around at the warriors with shining eyes all over the courtyard. Not long ago, they were as helpless as Kim Yul. Although he had knowledge of fighting and tremendous tenacity, he was unable to use his inner strength and was unable to practice martial arts.
“… … indeed.”
Kim Yul’s gaze finally landed on Esther.
What can be felt from Esther’s new form, which is quietly silent, is the power of the Constellation that single-handedly destroyed the Aegim Empire in the past.
When Kim Yul saw the devil who destroyed the empire he founded, he realized the true meaning of my words.
“You get stronger with each passing day.”
“what. “The world wouldn’t let me be weak.”
“… … The definition of [strength] will vary from person to person. However, if a person who supports his family swings a pickaxe every day saving time, if he swings his arm constantly because every second and minute is precious, then he is strong enough. Not wasting time. Buying time. “That will be the measure of strength.”
Kim Yul looked at me.
“You always buy time. “Even though you can turn it back, whether it’s a day or a year, the value of time is less important to you than to anyone else, but you live each day as if you can never turn it back.”
“I am,” Kim Yul muttered expressionlessly.
“I think that’s why you’re strong.”
And, Kim Yul said.
“I also want to become strong like you.”
“…….”
“I will try. “Death King.”
I was silent for a moment.
‘Everyone is trying.’
I wanted to take some time to savor that fact.
Esther. One day, the child who was a doppelganger wanted to become human. That is Esther’s hope. So she will try to be human, and she will try to be me and her father-daughter.
Sylvia. Once upon a time, I was an immature noble daughter and wanted to have Raviel. That is Sylvia’s desire. So she will try to have Raviel and try to fulfill the conditions Raviel has set.
Kim Yul. The man who once became stronger by throwing away his memories now has things he cannot throw away. He never wants to abandon it again. That is the wish Kim Yul had. So he will try not to abandon himself.
‘Good.’
Others too.
‘huh. good.’
Because everyone has something.
You can definitely try.
‘If only the smallest opportunity helps.’
and.
I can be an opportunity for them.
“I will give you a body. Mr. Yul Kim.”
I became stronger in order to serve as an opportunity for someone else.
[The box of the phalanx dragon is activated.]
[The box of the phalanx dragon has been completed.]
Just like Esther, Samagun, the church members, and Sylvia Evanail, Kim Yul’s presence also became a pitch-black bead and colored my heart.
I sighed, feeling sad because I was not white.
My breath was as black as my heart, and as it escaped my lips, it settled on the ground like a thick mist.
There, a body slowly took shape.
“…….”
Constellation Killer.
The man who escaped from the ghost and returned to human form slowly opened and closed his right hand. He repeated it over and over again.
And muttered.
“The passage in the book I read today was really good. “It was beautiful.”
Kim Yul looked up at the night sky.
“But there are many more beautiful things waiting for me than that.”
Moment.
The Constellation Killer swung his hand, and the aura that extended from there split the night air. It split and split and cut the clouds covered in moonlight. With the full moon between them, dark clouds dispersed soundlessly in two directions.
The white moon seeped through the scattered clouds.
Kim Yul suddenly looked up at the moonlight pouring down on him.
“I don’t remember that phrase anymore.”
“…….”
“Death King. “What can I call you?”
I approached Kim Yul.
“Please call me Gaju.”
“house owner.”
“yes. Someday we will become each other’s family. However, I am wary of the hasty decision to talk about family from the beginning. “We still don’t know much about each other and we’re not very familiar with each other.”
“…….”
“We can definitely get closer.”
I took something out of my arms.
It’s been a week since I broke up with God.
In the meantime, I wandered around the city and prepared various things. While passing by an old road, I found a stationery store. I skipped school, passed an elementary school student playing on a game console in front of a stationery store, went inside the store, and found this.
“It’s not a very expensive item.”
Sigh.
I untied the yellow elastic band that tied the back of the Constellation Killer’s hair.
The rubber band was very tough, and was tightly binding the Constellation Killer’s silver hair.
“This is a gift I give you while envisioning that day that will come someday.”
After a while.
“hmm. “This is my first time tying it, so it’s not going well.”
“…….”
“ah. I think it’s been a while… Is it okay? Anyway, I guess this is okay.”
The Constellation Killer’s ponytail was tied with an ordinary hair tie.
I took a yellow rubber band,
“You won’t need this anymore.”
I simply burned it with aura.
“…….”
Probably a very long time ago.
hundreds of years ago.
Lefanta Aegim must have thought about throwing away ‘Kim Yul’s memories.’
[Even if I erase my memories, let’s not forget that I was abandoned by the world.]
Students at Shinseo High School used yellow rubber bands to harass Kim Yul. It hurts when I tie my hair with a rubber band. It’s simple yet effective bullying.
Anyone could see Kim Yul wearing a rubber band, so everyone knew that Kim Yul was poor, and everyone could see that Kim Yul was subject to violence.
It was a stigma.
Lefanta Aegim did not hesitate to throw away Kim Yul’s memories. He doesn’t have any good memories anyway. If he could throw it away, he would be grateful to throw it away.
But the evidence.
I wanted to leave behind only the proof that the world had abandoned me. He wanted to prove what kind of person he was, how he was born, and the stigma attached to his life.
Only then can you curse the world to your heart’s content.
“…….”
The evidence of the past that bound the Constellation Killer for a long time has now been burned here.
Kim Yul raised his right hand and traced the back of his head with an expressionless, somewhat blank face. Kim Yul’s fingers were touching a 100 won hair tie sold at any stationery store.
“I will serve as the representative of our family.”
“…….”
“Mr. Kim Yul, please become the family head. He becomes the shadow of the family, explores the movements of enemies and gathers information about them.”
“Are you a spy?”
“yes.”
I pointed to the warriors hiding under the wall.
“Among the Simas, there is a person called Ghost Flame Demon. He is a member of the Demonic Cult in charge of intelligence, and the memorial unit he leads is a specialized intelligence unit that has taken control of Kangho. Mr. Kim Yul. Lead them.”
“… … “Is this a suitable position for me?”
“Your specialty is recording and analyzing information.”
I tapped the notebook Kim Yul was holding in his left hand.
The old notebook trembled.
“Now don’t write in your notebook the people you have to kill, the people who killed you, and the things you have to throw away.”
“…….”
“Please write only for the sake of all of us and the family. That notebook will become our family’s diary. Mr. Kim Yul. Prove us with your pen and your words.”
then.
“Then I will be very happy too.”
Kim Yul was silent.
Time passed for the split clouds to disperse and disappear.
Bathed in the faint moonlight, Kim Yul knelt on the dry ground in the yard of a hanok where he had been waiting for time as he had missed his chance to die, in a corner of his hometown city where he was born and died, on the dry ground.
“i get it.”
Bowing your head towards me.
“I will base my life on your dreams.”
And Kim Yul swore.
“My head of the family.”
