Episode 75 < A song of light and shadow. (1) >
————————
One.
“The Demon Heavenly Demonic Art originally had a nine-pronged sword.”
After seeing my dance, the Heavenly Demon commented.
“The Asayu sword you showed is the first type. “You know.”
“yes.”
“After Asa’s rites were Galsha’s rites.”
Gale (渴死).
“You’re thirsty.”
“Yes. Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You demonstrated the Asayu sword very well. So, if you focus on training, you will become a good magician… .“
“Wait.”
chuck.
I raised my hand.
“Please wait.”
I’m sorry, but I can’t leave without raising my hand. The person in front of me, sitting cross-legged, was trying to climb over a wall, but the wall seemed high enough to me.
“… What.”
“What did you just say? [Very well]?”
The Heavenly Demon pursed her lips.
“Huh, that’s strange. I think I did pretty well. It was only good enough for the Heavenly Demon… . ah! sorry. I suddenly lost my pride and started to lose confidence. “There are things that are so shocking.”
“this guy… .”
The corner of the Heavenly Demon’s mouth twitched.
“… Oh, I admit it. You displayed the Asayu sword skillfully. “Don’t go somewhere and act arrogantly and make fun of me for succeeding in the Demon Heavenly Demonic Art.”
“yes? I beg your pardon? [ skillfully ]?”
“Are you planning on making fun of me with a play on words?”
The Heavenly Demon said.
“I will be satisfied only if I bow my head and bow to you. I really don’t know what degrees are! Just be your teacher! I am the disciple.”
okay. The bite has come.
I acted as nonchalant as a fisherman.
“Ah, so you’re saying I’ve been recognized as Heavenly Demon’s disciple? Right? My mother is not a disciple, I am a disciple. “It’s a truly authentic, direct handmade product.”
The Cheonma could not answer right away this time either.
1 second. 2 seconds.
After a little pause, I slowly opened my mouth.
“Please refrain from saying anything else. Oh no. “I will be giving teachings from now on, so I want to concentrate.”
hmm.
‘It’s like that too.’
Just now, the Heavenly Demon was forced to ignore what I said. Force comes from stubbornness, and stubbornness comes from sincerity. I also understand where her sincerity hesitates.
‘He won’t say that he will make me his disciple even if he has to die.’
The relationship between a priest and a priest.
The Heavenly Demon had already chosen me as his disciple. Despite this, he never said out loud, “I will not accept you as my disciple.”
Although there were many cases where I couldn’t feel it because I was bickering with the Geomje.
For Cheonma, that is, for strong people, isn’t the relationship between teacher and student that much of a burden?
‘A heavy relationship… Sometimes it turns into a scary relationship.’
Therefore, the woman of the Demonic Cult does not declare that she is a priest.
I hesitate.
A person called me. Not only was it my first time seeing this child, but he was also not from the Jungwon Murim. Should he really allow such a child, such a child, to enter his heart?
Is it okay to have a little more hope in life?
So Baek-hyang, the Heavenly Demon, the leader of the Demonic Cult, was confused and was hesitating.
“listen carefully. If he had developed the Asayu sword to that level, he would at least be qualified to steal the teachings of the school. step… … ”
Although his appearance is nothing short of dull.
‘Portrait window.’
The inner feelings reflected in my eyes are completely different.

Mental state: ‘Are you a disciple? It’s time to make a decision… . Oh, no. That’s a terrible idea! Namgoong Woon I should be satisfied with fighting that guy. To become a disciple now that life has reached the end is too greedy! It’s an ugly act of greed.’

okay.
I smiled in my heart.
‘Please think about it.’
Heavenly Demon’s concerns.
That was a green light for me.

‘Please shake more deeply.’
Because I was the one who presented her with a crossroads.
Will we continue the war against the Murim Lord without any hope? Or will they take action to have one disciple and ensure that the doctrines of the Demonic Cult are passed down to the next generation?
Which is the escape route from [meaningless death]?
‘Please don’t let life go like this.’
Words are light.
It’s vain.
In light words, only light people can be held responsible.
No, that would be the same as not taking responsibility at all.
‘Please live.’
How empty these words are.
‘Even if the world is destroyed and you are left alone in the martial arts world, I still want you to live. ‘I wish I was alive.’
No matter how many words you pile up, will those words carry any weight?
‘I hope I can be a reason for you to live a little longer.’
Vain and vain words.
I didn’t say this out loud.
The reason Heavenly Demon did not declare a priest’s kite is probably the same as mine.
The lightness of words cannot help but be weighed down by the heaviness of actions. That way it doesn’t fly away.
Neither Cheonma nor I have tried hard enough to say what we want to say yet.
“It’s not time to make a decision yet.”
The Heavenly Demon thought to herself.
‘I haven’t made up my mind yet.’
I thought to myself.
“…….”
“…….”
The Heavenly Demon and I faced each other.
“Ahaha outside of the bird. Your eyes aren’t focused. Are you listening carefully to what I say?”
“yes.”
Looking good.
“Of course I am focused. “What do you mean?”
“It’s not a joke, it’s serious.”
“sure. “I swear to everyone, whether it’s the Jade Emperor or King Yeomna.”
We exchanged glances. Unlike the touch, the gaze overlapped yet crossed. So the gaze is a little like the human heart.
After going back and forth several times, the Heavenly Demon opened her mouth.
“good night. “Seeing how confident you are, I can take the next exam right away.”
The Heavenly Demon shook off his eyes and stood up.
Where has she gone?
“Don’t follow me. “My feet are busy.”
I just said that and left. Cheonma walked on a snowy field, but no footprints were left in the snowy field. There was only a thin shadow sliding on the ice. Dapseolmuheun (路雪無癌). The woman was showing me what I heard on the first day after falling into this world.
It was then.
-I want to stick with it.
Bae Hu-ryeong said softly.
-I want to win even if it’s just for one game. Sincerity.
I looked to the side without thinking.
‘yes?’
-Did you get salt in your ear canal? I want to play a game of mixed martial arts.
And it was the first time I saw Bae Hu-ryeong make that kind of expression.
-damn. Damn it, damn it!
The Geomje (劍帝) was truly resentful.
-Do you know, zombie! In the martial world where I was born, the Demonic Cult was extremely weak! The only joy I could get was defeating those demonic cult henchmen! There was a guy pretending to be a Heavenly Demon, but from the moment I stuck his asshole in the ground, his name was changed to Earth Demon! f*ck! Among the miscellaneous people who go around saying that I am Kangho Daehyeop, hundreds of them have changed their last names. ah! really!!
It was different.
That wasn’t the face he had when he lost a bet to me.
At that time, I struggled with anger, but… The expression Bae Hu-ryeong is making right now is,
-I’m so jealous of the Murim Lord cub born here!
It was much more intense.
-If it were me, huh? It’s a life-or-death situation! Ah, let’s split it up and see if this death is your death or mine! After that, climb up any snow peak and have a bowl of takju! If you chew on a piece of tangchorijeok, kaeu! That’s the true taste of looking down on Kangho!
Desire to win. Ho Seung-sim. Fighting spirit.
His face became as vivid as raw meat.
-I really am! If only it wasn’t a ghost!
“…….”
I quietly closed my mouth.
Before I knew it, I was lost in worry without realizing it. He lowered his head and supported his chin with his hand. My mind was so full of thoughts that I needed to support it with my hands.
-ok? It’s a zombie. Why are you wearing a zombie face because you’re afraid that someone will criticize you for being a zombie? This guy is getting angry again these days because people call him a bastard instead of a zombie. Hey, should I just call you Jomsae?
“… … “That’s it.”
-huh?
“That’s it.”
I suddenly raised my head.
“The boss makes a cure for infectious diseases. I am recognized as an official disciple of the Heavenly Demon. It’s all good. It’s all good… I felt like this alone was lacking something. Should I call it a finale? But you just gave me the last one-shot.”
-uh… .
“Nice play. “Well done, Mr. Geomje.”
I grinned.
I don’t know why, but Geomje took a step back when he saw me.
“Why are you doing this?”
-no… just… Every time you make that kind of expression, evil death (凶5E) strikes me. Should I say my luck is getting worse? Something happened that would tarnish my face and status.
“How much respect do I have for the Sword Emperor in my heart? “You know how I feel, right?”
-thanks. Is it okay for me to throw up in your face now?
“hmm.”
I turned my back and looked at the distant sky.
“We had an unpaid debt.”
-…….
Bae Hu-ryeong paused.
-… debt? What debt? I am a person who has never been in debt in my life. Hey, this Confucius is trying to cast a spell with his mouth again. Don’t do that. Uh-huh! You got hurt!
“[Let’s take a bet on how many times I will die to push it to the 19th floor].”
-…….
“Our Sword Emperor bet that I would die less than 100 times. “I bet under 99.”
-no… .
“Right?”
My smile became a little gentler.
-No, that was already a story from some time ago… .
“Unless my memory is defective, this bet obviously ended up being number 97?”
-…….
“Unless my calculation skills went to waste, number 97 is less than number 99. Right?”
-…….
“Sword Emperor.”
-Why do you keep being mean to me? .
“Let’s do us a favor.”
Bae Hu-ryeong looked tearful.
-Yes, you bastard. George or kill me, it’s up to you… .
It was complete surrender.
2.
The Heavenly Demon is back.
I was alone when I crossed the snowy field, but not when I came across it. She was carrying a zombie. Like the long wind zombie, this zombie also wore a black uniform.
“There is a unit in our school made up of elites called Blood Demons. It is the best practical unit created by gathering only assassins. “Children who exist solely to carry out the orders of this throne.”
In other words, he was my second sparring partner.
I took a stance holding the holy sword.
“Last time, you were a promising late-round index, but this time, you are a lifesaver for an actual combat unit? “The level of difficulty is very high.”
“Don’t worry. “I took care of this and brought in a child who fits your level.”
Perhaps the Heavenly Demon has really found [the perfect partner for me]. Searching the snowy fields. Looking at hundreds of zombies one by one.
It was thoughtful consideration.
It was a sincerity that went into it.
I gratefully accepted this as a kind of compliment.
“What you have to demonstrate is no different from this morning. Fight against the Jiangshi disease… .”
“There is only thirst in my heart. “There should be only the pain of thirst.”
“hmm.”
The Heavenly Demon smiled.
“Is that right? Do not allow emotions or thoughts other than thirst to appear in your mind!
“great!”
I rushed forward with excitement.
“I’ll show you something this time too….”
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
“It’s so f*cking strong! shit!”
It showed me something.
The fastest death scene in the universe.
Hey.
“Mr. Pharmacist. Mr. Medicine King. Research into a cure for the zombie virus proceeds like this… .”
“oh my god! It’s like research I did! No, I guess I organized my research as if I had been decorated and given a noble rank. “Well, it feels like I’m dressed up in a full suit, as if I’ve been given the title of Countess!”
“What is this? You kid who thinks you’re Death King or something, are you from Silicon Valley too? This is exactly the way I organized it… ..”
First of all, we will update the results of the treatment research as we have always done.
“100 ghosts reincarnated!”
This time too, I decided to stay in the snowy mountains and do some closed-tube training.
The same goes for summoning anglers and skeletons and ordering them to collect death. Although there was a change in that they were to find thirsty corpses instead of starving corpses, the orders were not much different.
“Spread out. “Scatter away and gather the thirsty corpses.”
“Yes, my lord. “I will obey your orders.”
but.
“I have one more thing for you to do.”
From here on, things changed from last time.
Agwi tilted his head.
“If you say it’s something you want me to do… .”
“There are probably a lot of strong martial arts fighters nearby.”
I wasn’t talking about the ‘Forest of Corpses’ that I saw as soon as I fell into this world. Last 3 years. The Heavenly Demon and the Murim Lord fought a lonely battle between demons, and lost their bodies one by one during the war.
When a blizzard raged non-stop for several days. When the night got longer and the day did not come. At that time, the Demonic Cult and the Righteous Sect gradually lost power and disappeared.
The jiangshi I am talking about right now are these ‘missing people’.
“Find them.”
I said.
“Find the demon in the black gi. Find a thief wearing a white uniform. Whether it’s a hundred miles or three hundred miles, we must release the skeletons and find them… . no. “Make a map and mark every place where the strongmen are located.”
Agwi made a puzzled expression.
“What are you trying to do to save those lives, my lord?” ?”
“It’s a destroyed world, but there are two people still waging war. You want a proper resolution, a proper ending. But unfortunately, in my opinion, it’s just a sad game of soldiers.”
I looked up at the night sky.
The moon was up.
“They said they would settle the matter, but we need to prepare for a real war.”
“A real war, you mean?”
“okay.”
A smile came out automatically.
I felt like Santa preparing Christmas presents.
“I will prepare for a proper war between the true demons.”
etc,
