Episode 321 < Infinite path. (3) >
5.
The Heavenly Demon So Baek-hyang had a secret that could not be told.
That’s right, it was watched.
Namgoong Un. The Murim lord. He is the best white swordsman in the rivers, is called a genius of the Namgung family, and has enhanced his reputation through guile and eccentricity from a young age. That man.
‘Is it this much?’
Master watched.
“……! ……!”
it snowed.
Namgoongwoon broke through, wading through the heavy snow. Even if her blizzard raged, it melted as soon as she was around Namgoong Un. Fierce internal energy was burning in Namgoongun’s muscles.
‘That’s it.’
it snowed.
In the teacher’s glazed eyes, the sight of snow falling in the world, a speck of snow sticking to the forehead of the Murim Lord and then melting and flowing, Chaang! Chaaaang! The scene of tens of thousands of political factions and demonic religions coming together and playing with swords was illuminated.
The Great Demon War.
In this battlefield where everyone foresaw the destruction of the world and poured their last effort into it, there was only one person.
Only Master.
Only I was out of breath.
‘I’m trying so hard to overcome this body.’
Wow!
I felt sorry as I struck back the ax that Namgoongun had thrown at me.
‘It is supreme and pure. Straight. Purely, I am wielding martial arts to defeat myself. I can clearly feel his feelings for me through his axe.’
I knew it.
If the Heavenly Demon So Baek-hyang had not been born, Nam Gung-un would have stood tall as the best person in the world. She may have been praised as the greatest person of all time. The Murim lord Namgung Un was truly the best opponent I could face.
To expect more than that would be excessive.
‘iced coffee.’
I don’t want to end it.
‘How is it that even if you stay still, you don’t have the talent to cut down the sky, but if you try hard, you have the talent that no one can catch up with?’
I don’t want it to end.
‘Is it nowhere to be found?’
Who can I be greedy with?
‘Namgoongun. Buwol-seon. ‘Can’t you be that person?’
If only you were a little stronger.
I would gladly have given you my whole life.
‘I don’t have the courage to lie to you and disguise my victory.’
it snowed.
‘I have no intention of satisfying life by lying to myself.’
Tick.
‘I haven’t been able to tell a lie to anyone, even once, so who can hang out with me?’
It’s free.
‘no.’
is it.
‘You’re lonely.’
Tick.
On that day, So Baek-hyang, the Heavenly Demon, did not cut down the Murim lord Namgung-un. She couldn’t cut. His master could not smite the head of the man who had come all the way for him and entered into a battle with the Holy Demon. In reality, his teacher could not sacrifice his neck to someone who could not walk his own path.
A life that can’t be helped.
When the first day of the Great Demon War was only postponed, Master may have had a premonition that this winter would last forever.
[The second name of the skill target cannot be found.]
However.
[The true name of the skill target cannot be found.]
Even though it is a lonely and lonely life.
[The appearance of the skill target cannot be found.]
clearly.
Confucius.
you will come get me
Master, Master, I say.
[Reproduction failed.]
With a smile that makes flowers bloom.
[Replaces materials required for implementation.]
Tick.

“oh.”
I blinked.
“Are you here?”
I blinked, and before my eyes was Bae Hu-ryeong.
The Geomje had slightly longer hair and had lost a bit more weight than I knew, and he was sitting cross-legged with his chin resting on his head.
“… … “Geomje nobleman?”
I was a little embarrassed.
“OK.”

“uh. Did it also appear in Trauma? I mean, it came out from the beginning, but after it became B-level, everything… … . what? “Do I have a body?”
I fumbled with my body.
It wasn’t Raviel’s body. It was not Master’s body. It wasn’t anyone else’s body, so I fumbled as if I was touching this body that should have been familiar to me for the first time in decades.
“Cluck.”
Bae Hu-ryeong watched me like that, as if it was amusing.
“You’re shaking so bad.”
“Oh, why? I really feel like I’ve lived for over 20 years. Just maintaining one’s self is an incredible feat. Rather, where is this place?”
“well.”
Bae Hu-ryeong laughed heartily.
“Your skill is probably still in the process of being activated. “You will continue to see trauma.”
“… … ? So does this mean this is your trauma?”
“I didn’t raise anything like trauma.”
I looked around.
As Bae Hu-ryeong said, there was nothing here.
Really, nothing.
An empty plain, like a waiting room where you stay for a while before entering the stage. A space that seems to be an endless expanse of white drawing paper. There, in a place that could hardly be called the middle of nowhere, Bae Hu-ryeong sat quietly, holding only one sword.
“…….”
“why? What you looking at?”
“no… . that is. “Your legs.”
I pointed to Bae Hu-ryeong’s leg.
The legs, which were usually slightly blurry, now had a clear shape.
“Not just the legs, but the whole body… It’s vivid. “The voice is like that too.”
“Hmm.”
“What is it?”
“Well. “It’s simple.”
Bae Hu-ryeong shook the hilt of his sword.
“Perhaps my living self is regenerated in your trauma. However, as I said, for me [there was no trauma]. “I wonder if it will be recreated in a strange way like this.”
“Hey.”
“Specifically, God, you were brainwashed by some perverted constellation! God! I even remember chasing after him. My memories of the past day or so are vague. How about you? Do you remember [this year is going to be a big hit because it’s a good harvest]?”
“… … “Something like that happened.”
Finally, a sense of reality returned.
okay.
As the trauma began, I went through Raviel’s half life and Master’s half life once. Like I’ve been dreaming for so long.
“I thought I was seeing your trauma this time… … .”
“oh. Did you expect it? Sorry sorry. Because I’m a guy who enjoys life. When I was four years old, Jeomsoy caught me stealing dumplings and I beat him up, but even then, I got hit while I was munching on dumplings. Even if you hit me, there’s no way the dumplings that went into my stomach will be re-listed as a commercial product, right? In the end, it can be seen as my victory. “I’ve only known victory since I was four years old.”
“you… … no. done. “Don’t say anything.”
“so? I remember even whispering to me, “Go away, terrorism, go away, death.” What happened? Man, talk to me. “Then I will give you counseling or not.”
I told him about what I had experienced so far.
“Hmm.”
Bae Hu-ryeong smiled and listened to my story.
He still has his elbows on his knees and his chin resting crookedly.
“It’s a zombie.”
As soon as the story ended, Bae Hu-ryeong spoke.
“How do you use the Demon Heavenly Art?”
“yes?”
“Infernal Heavenly Technique. This is your cult’s magic attack. “How do you use that?”
What a pseudo.
“How do you use it? “I just use it.”
“okay? that’s interesting. Hunger is different for everyone, right? For example, let’s say Asayu Sword (餓死流劍). Some people are starving because they can’t eat millet. Some people are starving because they can’t eat hamburgers. Are they the same? What about farmer hunger? What about hunger in adults and children? “How can you just use the Asayu Sword to overcome hunger?”
“It’s the same.”
I answered immediately.
It might have been when I was just trying to awaken the Demon Heavenly Art.
Now was not the time to play around with questions like that.
“Same does not mean everything is the same from beginning to end. The context just needs to be the same. [It’s painful because I couldn’t eat something.] Here, [something] doesn’t matter whether it’s millet rice or arugula pizza. therefore… … .”
“that’s right.”
Bae Hu-ryeong narrowed his eyes.
“So people can understand people. is not it?”
“yes.”
“The same goes for the trauma you are experiencing now.”
“…….”
Tick.
I blinked.
“yes?”
“People understanding people. He went through the same thing. That doesn’t mean that the same people, in the same situation, at the same time and in the same place experience the same thing. Others. Different situation. When it’s a different time and a different place, but it’s still the same thing. “That is understanding.”
Bae Hu-ryeong hummed.
“You can’t look at the past of ■■■■ ■■ ■■■. why? Because it has no name. There are no coordinates. He even lost his appearance. Are you going to take a peek into the life of a person who cannot be called by anyone or seen by anyone, as an enemy?”
“…….”
“But we know he failed. His life will be full of failures. [Cosmic Red Yellow] You can tell by looking at the skill. no. 1. No.2. “He used [Cosmic Red Yellow] on someone other than you, but there’s no one by his side right now.”
Bae Hu-ryeong whispered.
“I was betrayed.”
Even though the Geomje’s mouth was quite far away, it felt like he was whispering in my ear.
“Confucius. Do we really need to know who ■■■■ ■■ ■■■ was betrayed, under what circumstances, when, and where? “Only then can you say that you understand his trauma?”
“Betrayal is betrayal. Disappointment is disappointment. So your betrayal can be my betrayal, and you can be you and I can be me and still call it understanding.”
right.
Actually, that is Macheon’s teaching.
“Your teacher also said so. Isn’t that right?”
Doctrine of Shadows.
“… … Yes.”
Only then did I nod my head.
I understood why I couldn’t get a glimpse into █████████’s past, and why I had to watch Raviel and Master’s half-life.
“Cases most similar to the trauma experienced by that constellation were recreated.”
It’s definitely true.
“■■■■ ■■ ■■■ must have trusted someone at first. I wasn’t satisfied, but I thought this person would use [Cosmic Red Yellow] to create enjoyable quests and a happy story, no. “I expected him to at least imagine a fresh world.”
But I was betrayed.
Just like Raviel was betrayed by the crown prince’s ramen.
『It’s free.』
■■■■ ■■ ■■■ and Raviel are different people, are in different situations, and lived in different times and places, but the depth and angle of the wound they suffered when they were first betrayed was the same.
That’s why.
『It’s free.』
■■■■ ■■ ■■■’s past was replaced by Raviel’s past.
“Even then, the Holy See trusted someone.”
Second contractor.
“After the first betrayal, the Constellation grew a little. This time, I didn’t blindly choose a contractor because “I think this person would be fresh.” No matter who sees it, it is the best of its time. Anyone can see that he is the most talented in this era… The imagination is superior. They say that with this person, the days of truly enjoyable quests may continue. “I chose it.”
But it wasn’t enough.
As if the Murim lord Namgung Un was missing a hand from his teacher.
『Lonely.』
The second contractor would certainly have been outstanding. Under the effect of [Cosmic Red Yellow], the contractor must have let his imagination run wild. If you imagine that there is a village there, like I did, a village will appear, and if you need an enemy, an enemy will appear.
Nevertheless.
『Lonely.』
■■■■ ■■ ■■■ could not be completely satisfied with the imagination he unfolded.
“… … no one. no. “Most of them have never experienced death.”
For some reason, I felt like I knew why the constellation was not filled.
“You can imagine the sea, be it elaborate or hazy. But can you imagine yourself in the sea, on the verge of drowning, struggling… out of breath, seawater rushing down your throat? That feeling. “That pain?”
The answer is simple.
If you don’t experience it, you won’t know.
“Probably other contractors besides me… … One’s own crisis. “He probably couldn’t have imagined his own death, that desperate moment when he might really die.”
because.
“oh my god. How, even like this.』
『You can imagine the pain just like this, right?』
Because ■■■■ ■■ ■■■ said so.
“how… … How can you imagine it so realistically?
『Have you ever felt your bones melt? Have you ever had all your veins burn out?』
『How on earth do you know such pain and recreate it under my power like this?』
Because I said it.
“…….”
Bae Hu-ryeong nodded.
“okay. You’re probably right.
Betrayal of the first contractor.
Disappointment from the second contractor.
Thus, ■■■■ ■■ ■■■ finally chose me as the third contractee, the last caster of [Cosmic Red Yellow], and the last believer willing to accompany him even to the point of annihilating his own existence.
“Then there is only one mystery left.”
“what?”
“It’s you.”
I looked away.
“Geomje nobleman.”
“…….”
My eyes are straight on Bae Hu-ryeong.
I looked at the Geomje who was embodied in a living form.
“Excluding me, [Space Red Yellow] was only used twice. That was replaced by two traumas. But why are you here? “Why are you lying here, in a place where there is nothing, as a replacement for the [third] trauma?”
“Who are you?”
Geomje raised the corner of his mouth.
“I can’t believe there’s nothing here. “From what I can see, there are enough.”
A young man with black hair was reflected in the Geomje’s eyes.
“You are there. Gongja Kim.”
“…….”
“You must have become the third trauma.”
Tick.
“I’m like a ghost hovering over you, so I guess I’m embodied as a bonus. no. Since I planned a plan with you and f*cked up ■■■■ ■■ ■■■, it may have been implemented together with that in mind. Anyway, you are here.”
Tick.
“Your love waited for you, just as your teacher waited for you, Gongja Kim. The third wound this constellation draws will be the wait for you. Maybe that’s the only thing that hurts. “Everything else is secondary.”
“Tick.”
“If the day goes by, there will still be scars that I don’t know about, the constellations don’t know about, and only you know about.”
“good.”
[Trauma implementation completed.]
“This is the best I can do. partner.”
[Confirm that the subject’s ego is maintained.]
“Think more about how you will live.”
[End penalty.]
and.
The world around me was shattered.
