◈ Episode 240 Cheonaksan Mountain (3)
A silent sword cuts Shuten’s neck.
Next, the arms.
Next, the legs.
Next is the boat.
Next is the heart.
Conversely, Shuten regenerates.
your own head.
your own arms.
your own legs.
your own ship.
And the heart.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands.
There are already so many slashes made in Kim Joo-hyuk’s hands that it surpasses the name of a thousand-killing sword.
Cut.
Cut.
Cut.
Cut it.
So that the monster in front of you can no longer regenerate.
And, at the end of the slash and regeneration.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!! What a ridiculous monster! “You’re an outrageous monster!”
Shuten was looking up at Kim Joo-hyuk with his limbs cut off.
Clearly, his body was continuing to regenerate, but the speed was noticeably slower than before.
If Shuten’s body before was that of an immortal who could not die, now Shuten appears to have descended from the immortal and appears as a great youkai.
Looking at Shuten like that, Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth.
“Did I win?”
one word.
And Shuten’s reaction was like that.
“of course!”
I shouted with a smile on my face, as if it was completely natural.
“It’s the best! the best! You beat me! “It’s been so long!”
Kim Joo-hyuk made a strange expression for a moment as he even clapped with both arms that had not fully recovered, as if he was very excited even though he had lost.
At least in Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes, Shuten looked a little crazy.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to not care, and Shuten clapped with his now regenerated arms as if he was still having fun and spoke.
“Now, I’m defeated, so tell me what you want!”
“Spit out all the information you know.”
“Let’s do it! “The loser shouldn’t have any objections!”
“Well, first of all, how did you know I was looking for a name?”
Kim Joo-hyuk goes straight to the question.
Shuten responded immediately.
“One evil told me. “Soon a man will come looking for his name.”
“… … “Ilak?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Shuten pointed to the white peak at the end of Cheonaksan Mountain with his thumb.
“This is the guy who lives there.”
“The guy who lives there said a man would come looking for his name?”
“Yeah, he’s a guy who normally doesn’t care what happens to the world, but he suddenly came to me and said something like that. so.”
Sigh.
“I was watching closely, thinking that it definitely wasn’t an ordinary guy coming.”
After Shuten’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk immediately continued with the next question.
“Then what clues can I use to find my name?”
“Same, you’ll find out if you go up to Ilak who lives there, right?”
“You don’t know?”
Shuten spoke in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“To continue the story from earlier, Ilak said that a man would come and tell him to come up to the top of the mountain when he saw the man.”
“… … In other words, you were just a guide, right?”
“Well, isn’t it okay to have this much fun while working as a guide?”
Shuten laughs and talks.
Kim Joo-hyuk made a subtle expression at that, but then shrugged his shoulders.
It was because I didn’t feel like giving a damn to the smiling Shuten.
Swoosh-tak!
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk put the village sword he was holding a moment ago into its sheath and tried to climb up without hesitation.
“Oh, can you control the monsters that attack me?”
“It’s not that difficult.”
“Then try to control it. “I think it would be a hassle to climb up while dealing with those who attack me.”
Shuten smiled and spoke at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“Don’t worry about that. As of now, no one will touch you, who already has a lot of my magic left from the fight earlier.”
Kim Joo-hyuk responded to Shuten’s words by nodding his head once and walked toward the top where Ilak was located.
How much time has passed like that?

A woman appeared in front of Shuten, who was sitting on a broken wooden bucket.
A woman with pale black skin fluttering like flames.
She looked at Shuten sitting on the tree trunk, clicked her tongue as if she was pathetic, and spoke.
“So what are your impressions?”
Woman’s question.
“Why don’t you experience it yourself?”
When Shuten grinned and answered the woman’s question, she frowned and spoke.
“I don’t like it because it’s annoying, and I’ve already thought about it to some extent while watching you fight so ignorantly.”
“Then you don’t have to listen to my answer?”
“Wouldn’t the feeling of fighting in person be different?”
“hmm… … “For staying with me for a night-”
Baaaaaaaa!
A woman approaches Shuten in an instant and blows his head off before he can finish speaking.
In response, Shuten regenerated his head and spoke again.
“As expected, Eoduksini’s hands are spicy. “Is it because it’s two evils?”
“Shut up and talk about your feelings.”
Shuten grinned at the question, or rather, Duo-ok-shini.
“It’s definitely strong! So much so that I can’t even think of it before I found the name. So, I made up my mind.”
Soon, that was said.
####
Above the mountain peak.
“Hmm.”
As Shuten said, after the fight with him, not a single youkai disturbed him as he walked down the street.
Of course, there were some monsters that made a sneaky appearance, but they all did not attack Kim Joo-hyuk, and thanks to that, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to reach the top of the mountain quite comfortably.
And at the end.
“… … “It’s a little different than I thought, isn’t it?”
Kim Joo-hyuk took one look at the summit of the mountain peak he had just reached and muttered as if it were something foreign.
The mountain peak that I saw when talking to Shuten earlier was covered in pure white snow, and Kim Joo-hyuk actually climbed through a lot of snow when he walked.
However, what you see as soon as you climb through the snow.
“… … steel?”
It was iron.
There is also iron that is embedded here and there like gemstones and is shining.
There was no snow at all on the top of the mountain peak where iron ore stones were studded here and there, and soon Kim Joo-hyuk was there looking around.
“You’re here.”
Kim Joo-hyuk hears the voice and turns his gaze forward.
“?”
I could see a man.
A man with what seemed like dozens of blades stuck in his back.
However, the man who actually spoke to Kim Joo-hyuk approached Kim Joo-hyuk and opened his mouth as if the blade stuck in his back was nothing.
“Nice to meet you. “What’s your name?”
In response to the man’s question, Kim Joo-hyuk was about to say the name Kim Joo-hyuk, but then closed his mouth.
“cotton.”
He soon spit out the name.
The man nodded as if he understood and spoke.
“Nice to meet you. cotton.”
“What is your name?”
This time, when Kim Joo-hyuk asked his name, he made a hmm expression, seemed to be thinking about it, and then spoke.
“My name doesn’t seem to mean much in this situation, so if I were to use a name that others would be familiar with, I would say I am Invincible.”
“… … Immortal? “Is this name related to the swords that are stuck in his back?”
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke while looking at the sword behind Bulgari’s back, and he spoke with a sly smile.
“Maybe it is, maybe it’s not. Anyway, do you know why you came here, maybe because of the name?”
“That is correct, but I would like to ask another question first. “Can I ask?”
“Of course you don’t mind asking.”
“How did you know I was coming here?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Bulgari made a questioning expression for a moment, then smiled as if he understood and spoke.
“Sure, I guess you might be curious about that.”
“Can you tell me?”
“Of course, there’s no reason not to tell you.”
Bulgari spoke while gesturing as if it was no big deal.
“If you came here with the intention of finding a name, I think you would have at least some prior knowledge, is that correct?”
“A story about Avatars?”
“It’s easier to talk about it if you know that.”
The Bulgari replied like that and then continued talking as if it was no big deal.
“We were on the same side.”
“… … “On the same side?”
“To be more precise, I would say that I was the one who was unilaterally saved.”
Bulgari spoke in silence as if thinking about memories from long ago.
“The Avatars were arrogant and selfish. It was also cruel. “Because they blindly rejected and tried to exterminate those who did not follow them.”
“And I was among them. No, to be precise, youkai, including me.”
“Youkais don’t believe in anyone. Almost all youkai are beings born of faith, both by nature and their very existence. How could they have faith in others? Thanks to that, we monsters became targets for extermination by the Avatars.”
“But in the meantime, one Avatar helped the monsters. No, to borrow his exact words, I heard him say, ‘It’s just something they did to screw those bastards.’ In any case, the fact that I was saved by him remains the same.”
After saying that, Bulgari sighed and continued.
“So, we followed the Avatar that saved us, and most of us ended up joining him in his death. “Except for a few friends.”
“Are you one of the survivors?”
Bulgari nodded.
“That’s right. “I was one of the survivors, and at the same time I held one of his clues, waiting for the incarnation that led us to reappear.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded his head at Bulsalgi’s words and spoke.
“Then how did you know I would come here now?”
“I heard a voice.”
“… … voice?”
“exactly. The voice said that you would wake up and head here soon. Of course, it was quite a while ago.”
At Bulgari’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk thought about the voice for a moment and then immediately put the thought away.
Although he was curious about the identity of the voice, the voice was helping him in the end, and Kim Joo-hyuk was now in a state of strange confidence.
I am confident that if I keep going like this, one day I will find out the identity of that voice.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and spoke as if he understood.
“I understand that. So now let’s get to the point: How do I get my name back? “Can I fight you this time?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Bulgari made a blank expression for a moment as if he didn’t understand, and then a moment later.
“It looks like you had a fight with Shuten. Well, they would have had to make their own decisions… … .”
After muttering that, I looked at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Well, let me start by saying, you are not fighting with me. Because what I have is stuff. All I have to do is give it to you.”
The Bulgari said so and immediately moved its hand.
Deep!
He pulled out one of the numerous swords stuck behind his back.
Unlike the village sword that Kim Joo-hyuk is currently holding, this sword retains its pure white color.
Bulgari held out the sword without saying a word.
Kim Joo-hyuk took one look at the mysterious figure and immediately grabbed the white sword he held out.
and.
“!”
[Tell me, what are you, unknown?]
A voice was heard.
