Episode 942How to untangle a tangled thread (2)
Tuk.
One finger fell off.
Yahyuk, whose entire body was torn apart by hundreds of memorizations, disappeared on the spot. Exactly one index finger left.
Even the index finger slowly turned into powder and flew away, and it was only then that I realized the death of Yahyuk, who had extremely vitality.
“Cough!”
Red blood spurted from the doctor’s mouth.
Tuk.
My legs lost strength. The officer who was kneeling unconsciously felt his head spinning.
But it felt good. More than just feeling good, I felt a distinct sense of accomplishment and reward.
‘This is…’
The official looked down at his hands.
Hands shaking. It was so neat that I wondered if this was really my hand.
Even without using internal energy, my fingers, which had a faint green energy, became colored pink, typical of healthy people. It was as if I had gone back to before I learned how to do poison.
‘This is no drama.’
Although it was his hands that saw, his five senses were clearly aware of his mind and body.
Everything was different.
Before climbing up, I had no idea what the world was like and how to get up there, but when I actually climbed up… I thought,
‘It’s just luck.’
I didn’t know how I got to this point. I remember how I climbed, but it was truly a stroke of luck that I found enlightenment at that moment.
It was said that to reach the level of martial arts, not only must one’s talent and effort be supported, but there is even a slight possibility that one must receive revelation from heaven.
That made sense.
‘I was fully prepared to climb to Mugeuk, but it wasn’t the time to climb.’
The official clenched his fists.
Although it is said that it is a state that requires a call from heaven, it is the individual’s will that summons that heavenly fortune.
He was able to know what kind of will he had that brought about heavenly luck.
It was the desire to protect. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Without any distracting thoughts, I summoned heavenly fortune with pure will. I never imagined that I would have such feelings.
“Is it okay?”
The official turned his head helplessly.
Before I knew it, Makwon was there, supported by Mukbi.
Makwon smiled.
“Congratulations. “I never thought I would rise to the realm of infinity in a situation like this and at a moment like this.”
The officer asked in a weak voice.
“How are you feeling?”
“It’s hard to move. That guy’s magic is so vicious. “I don’t think I’ll die though.”
“Thank goodness.”
All you have to do is not die. That was enough.
Mukbi carefully made Makwon sit comfortably and bowed his head.
“Congratulations, matriarch.”
The official laughed bitterly.
“What are you celebrating?”
Even though he reached the top level, that didn’t mean his natural talent changed.
I just discovered my true self. The hotel was just a hotel; it had not become something new.
Phew.
The dark red essence that had translucently surrounded the body of the party gradually disappeared.
‘It’s hard.’
The method of reaching martial arts is different for each person, but the moment anyone enters that state, their body and internal energy are completely transformed. Of course, it was normal for the expended energy to return completely.
But our institution was different.
‘It was too much.’
He used the extreme upper level magic to destroy Yahyuk with the Manryu Returning Spiritual Art.
Because it was my first time, I couldn’t control my strength. As I tried to fill the Manryu Guewonjin Qi with my naturally built up energy, my body felt as heavy as wet cotton.
“I need to rest for a while.”
I wasn’t in a state where I could do anything mentally. If you move too hard, the Manryu Returning Spiritual Art that you worked so hard to create will cause a runaway.
Makwon, who was looking at the hotel with a smile, hardened his face when a sudden thought occurred to him.
“Anyway, what about the series?”
“ah!”
Mukbi looked into the distance.
It was then.
“It’ll be okay.”
It was a small and weak voice, but everyone here heard Hyukryunhwi’s words.
Hyeokryeonhwi continued calmly.
“The malice that seemed to pierce the sky has completely disappeared. “It means that the enemy leader is dead.”
“Ah…”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Makwon, who was sitting, struggled to get up and staggered towards Hyeokryunhwi.
Hyeokryeonhwi’s eyes were transparent. It is impossible to see ahead.
Makwon, who was quietly looking down at him, lowered his head.
“This is how I meet Kang Ho’s senior. Makwon is out of the question.”
“Baekbyeongshingun Makwon.”
“exactly.”
“Yes, it is truly amazing. Even with my dulled senses, I can feel your vivid energy. “He is at a similar level for his age, so I think he will be able to surpass even the kings in a few years.”
“That’s too much praise.”
Okcheong opened her mouth.
“Limju Hyeokryeon. Please take a break. “I will bring Prince Cheon.”
“No, that won’t happen.”
Makwon turned his head and looked behind him.
In the distance, three hundred horsemen and several expert soldiers were running at a frightening speed.
“The fight is over.”
After a while.
Hwang Seok-tae, who could see the aspects of the battle just by looking around once, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
“You too.”
“And…”
Hwang Seok-tae smiled and looked at the hotel.
“Congratulations.”
The official waved his hand.
That was enough of an answer. It was because I didn’t even have the strength to open my mouth.
It was a time when another absolute expert was born in this world. It is a moment that everyone is bound to be surprised by and should be amazed by, but the respect and congratulations towards the institution were carried out solemnly.
This is because it was too hard a fight to shout for him.
The Iron Guard, who received orders from Hwang Seok-tae, searched the surrounding area and spread out over a wide area to protect the law. It was to prepare for any possible danger.
and.
“Rimju.”
Cheon Hyorak and Hwahyang approached Hyeokryeonhwi.
Cheon Hyorak’s face, as he fell to his knees, was filled with sorrow. My father was always strict, but I couldn’t have imagined how much of a shock it must have been to see him lying down in such a pitiful state.
Still, there was no significant change in Cheon Hyorak’s expression. When dealing with others, he showed freedom and change as if he were wearing a mask, but when he actually revealed his true feelings, he was rigid.
And Hyeokryeonhwi could tell even without his eyes. What kind of expression is your son making?
The reason Cheon Hyorak became faceless was entirely due to his life in Shinmarim. It was because of Hyeokryeonhwi’s teachings.
“….”
The two were silent for a moment.
After a bitter silence, Hyeokryeonhwi was the first to speak.
“It was a cold winter day.”
“…?”
“It was such a cold day, but your body was bursting with vital heat. It wasn’t just body temperature. “The sun was breathing in your body with the umbilical cord attached.”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes shook greatly.
In Hyeokryeonhwi’s calm voice, I could feel the power unlike before.
“It was dawn. White smoke came out of your body. “You cried as you felt the new world with your whole body, but I felt joy and immense joy that I had never felt before in my life.”
“….”
“As soon as you were born, I realized that there truly is a sun in this world.”
“Rimju.”
“I have lived my whole life crying. “I lived my life only to not fall behind, to become stronger, and not to ruin the history of Shinmarim.”
“….”
“The moment you were born, I wanted to throw off the burden of fate that I had carried on myself. “I wanted to take you and my three-year-old wife, whom I had never called my wife, and go down to the warm south and live in peace for the rest of my life.”
Cheon Hyorak’s breathing became rough.
Hyeokryeonhwi has never said anything like this. He was a person who taught that the moment others look into one’s emotions, one loses one’s qualifications as a politician. Because of that, he probably had no choice but to become even more strict.
“But I couldn’t. Although safety was not guaranteed in the first place, the Forest of Demons cultivated by the five ancestors cast a shadow bigger than Mount Tai. “I couldn’t escape that shadow.”
“….”
“But at least for a few years after you and your younger brother were born, my life, which was gloomy and dull, couldn’t have been so good. “You were the treasure that allowed me to bear the weight of the name Shinmarimju.”
For a moment, Hyeokryeonhwi’s breathing became rough. Although he was holding his body in this world with minimal demonic energy, he gradually reached his limits.
Cheon Hyorak spoke urgently.
“Rimju. Stop talking. No more…”
“I am a sinner.”
“Rimju.”
“The more I thought about my happy life with you, the deeper my agony became. The peak was when your mother died. “When I was dying from a serious illness that couldn’t be cured by even heavenly arms or mountains of wealth, I knew that something inside me was completely broken.”
“….”
“I thought it was the curse of the Chen family. I believed it couldn’t be explained otherwise. In the end, since there was no way to escape this curse, I wanted to at least allow my children to live happily.”
“….”
“But I, who climbed the Holy Horse, knew. The natural power of the devil is growing stronger somewhere. “It was more like an intuition that I couldn’t understand with martial arts common sense, but I couldn’t ignore it.”
Cheon Hyo-rak held Hyuk Ryeon-hwi’s hand.
Hyeokryeonhwi’s hands had no strength at all. In the end, tears flowed from Cheon Hyo-rak’s eyes.
“However, there were too many lives on my shoulders to embrace you and use my divine demons, so I had no choice but to make you my disciples. In the end, while trying to kill two birds with one stone, I ended up passing out without catching even one.”
Cheon Hyo-rak, who was shedding tears, opened her mouth.
“Father…”
“Don’t do that.”
“…!”
“Don’t call me father. “I am not worthy of being called father by you.”
It wasn’t for myself. I said that for Cheon Hyorak’s sake.
Hyeokryeonhwi’s voice gradually became quieter.
“It was difficult, but I still lived my life. It was a life full of regrets, but I felt alive thanks to you. That’s enough for me. “It’s even too much for a gift for the afterlife.”
“….”
“Your younger brother… is going crazy. I’m moving somewhere with the warriors from the main forest. “You probably won’t be able to catch it right now.”
“…!”
“Do your best to save your brother. When you reach the Tenth Dan Gong, all restrictions on your body will be removed. “You can learn Pacheongyeol right then.”
Sssss.
Little by little, Hyeokryunhwi’s legs crumbled into powder and scattered.
Cheon Hyorak’s tears fell on Hyukryunhwi’s forearm. The forearm touched by those tears crumbled like water-soaked sand.
“Once everything is finished, don’t worry about the name of the Divine Demon any more, just be your own…”
Hyeokryeonhwi was unable to continue speaking.
Pusssss.
Hyeokryeonhwi’s entire body was reduced to powder and disappeared into thin air following the blowing wind.
Cheon Hyo-rak sobbed silently.
Telling him not to call me father would not mean he was unworthy. This may have been said with the hope that I would live my own life so that I would no longer be controlled by the name of the Divine Demon.
Even until his last moments, his father worried about his future. Just like it has been up until now.
Cheon Hyorak looked up at the sky.
The powder fluttering in the air swirled in the dark Cheonghae sky and finally flew toward the moonlight.
