Chapter 194
##194fury. opportunity (2)
White Water Dragon walked down the long hallway with the Blood Dragon Lord and headed to Gyojujeon..
‘This road. I remember.’
The pattern of the red carpet beneath my feet was mysterious and gorgeous. Soft texture, like walking on clouds. But at this time, I didn't have time to feel that touch..
The road to Gyojujeon felt very long..
It was a distance that could be reached in an instant if one opened one's guard, but no one here dared to commit such disrespect..
‘At that time, I couldn't even make eye contact with the religious leader. I can't remember what I heard or what I said because I was so anxious that I might make a small mistake..’
In the blood religion, the leader was a being no better than a god..
If one day he suddenly came face to face with God, even the strongest heart in the world would be nervous..
That's probably why my memories of that day are hazy..
‘This time, I need to come to my senses and take a closer look..’
Gulp.
As I swallowed my dry saliva several times, the Great Blood Dragon who was walking next to me chuckled..
“Why are you so nervous? Since you are assigned to the Blood Dragon Corps, you will be assisting the cult leader closely whether it is late or early..”
The Blood Dragons were the sect's bodyguard unit made up of the most elite warriors, and also served as an honor guard to show off the sect's majesty at official occasions..
Normally, the close guard of the religious leader was provided by shadows who had mastered the blue eye magic technique, and when the religious leader went to the religious battle, the blood dragons guarded the area..
Even though I knew it at the time, it didn't help me relax at all..
“……Why did the teacher suddenly call me??”
“I don't know. Maybe you were just curious about the new face, or maybe there was another reason..”
“Does the leader call you every time a new member joins the Blood Dragon??”
For a moment, the Blood Dragon Lord's expression frowned as if he was displeased..
He thought that the subordinate's actions to understand the cult leader's intentions were presumptuous..
“Don't try to judge the leader's will. He is not something we can judge.”
The white water dragon quickly lowered his head at the blood dragon lord's stern gaze..
“sorry.”
“Keep in mind. We only offer our body and soul to help our leader..”
“yes.”
There was a moment of uncomfortable silence..
Fortunately, we reached the end of the hallway before the silence got too long..
“It's here.”
Blood Demon Hall).
There was a huge door that was almost as big as a wall, like a wall. The doorknob was decorated with an image of a bleeding devil..
Two warriors with unusual prayers were guarding the left and right sides of the gate, and they did not even blink when they saw the Blood Dragon Lord. The bright blue eyes of the gatekeepers sparkled magically..
‘These are shadow escorts..’
Naturally, it reminded me of Byeok-an-gwi in the song ‘Ak-in’..
Those gatekeepers have mastered the blue eye magic technique like Byeok-an-gwi. It was nearly impossible to break into Gyojujeon while avoiding the eyes of those who had learned special techniques..
The Great Blood Dragon stepped forward and said:.
“A new warrior from the Blood Dragon was brought in. This is what the teacher ordered..”
“He came inside and said.”
The Blood Dragon Lord nodded and approached the door, and the door, which seemed to be hundreds of pounds old, began to open on its own..
Kugugoogung Palace……!
The moment the door was fully opened, a different world unfolded before my eyes..
flash-blink!
they were standing in the night sky.
The sky was surprisingly close. Starlight poured down from above. Clouds appeared beneath my feet, and a smaller world unfolded beneath them..
‘It's amazing to see it again.’
Gyojujeon was a space completely outside of common sense and logic..
A place where miracles that have not been seen anywhere else in the blood religion, the headquarters of all kinds of magic and witchcraft, unfold..
“come closer.”
At the highest temple under the sky, a handsome man with red hair was sitting alone..
Blood-red red hair and contrasting white skin.
Flawless features as if carved from marble.
A fascinating voice that cannot be forgotten once heard was heard again..
“Come here.”
Baek Soo-ryong began walking towards the leader as if his body was possessed by something..
But inside, the heart that gazed at the past became cold and subdued..
‘Blood Demon…….’
It was an unforgettable face..
A being who served as his lord for several years before falling into hell after injuring his Danjeon, and later stuck a sword in his chest when he tried to escape the blood religion..
If only the blood demon had not appeared that day, I might have succeeded in escaping the blood religion with the four masters..
dump.
The Blood Dragon Lord knelt down first. The White Water Dragon of the past hurriedly followed him and knelt down. two people shouted at the same time.
“Blood world! Blood maangbok! A lowly religious person meets the religious leader…….”
“stop.”
The two voices disappeared at the same time..
It wasn't that I kept my mouth shut because I wanted to. The blood demon's will erased the sound inside the Gyojujeon Hall..
It was a sophisticated martial arts attack that was on a different level from a simple surprise attack..
“!!”
The white water dragon looked up at the blood demon with a shocked face, not even recognizing that it was a Buddhist scripture..
Thanks to this, I was able to examine the blood demon’s appearance in detail..
Baek Soo-ryong was surprised..
‘I still can't figure it out…….’
I knew that the Blood Demon's martial prowess was high enough to put even the best in the world at his feet, but I never thought I could even guess at that level even now..
‘No, it's not like you can't guess because your level is so high. This is…….’
Blood Demon was a master who mastered both martial arts and techniques..
It was said that he was good at illusions that deceived and changed energy..
It is true that the level of martial arts was very high, but it was impossible to estimate at the moment because he was hiding his prayers with magic..
‘Let's not be disappointed. Because it won’t end after just one look.’
Baek Soo-ryong predicted that this dream would continue for a while longer..
If so, there will be plenty of opportunities to see blood demons in the future..
He has just been assigned to the Blood Dragon Corps..
“That's interesting.”
The blood demon looked at the White Water Dragon and spoke lazily..
Only then did Baek Soo-ryong realize his disrespect and hit his forehead on the floor. It was a sin to look up at God without permission..
Kwaang!
“……I committed a mortal sin.”
Blood flowed from my torn forehead, but I didn't care. The moment he was about to hit his forehead on the floor again, a soft energy stopped him..
“Lift your head up. I have called to see you myself..”
The Blood Demon looked at the White Water Dragon with eyes as bright as jewels..
“I personally selected you for the Blood Dragon Corps..”
“…….”
“Aren’t you curious about the reason??”
“……I'm curious.”
Until then, Baek Soo-ryong was just one of the many warriors belonging to the Hyeolrangdae..
Although the Hyeolrangdae was the representative armed force of the blood religion, there was a gap as big as heaven and earth from the blood dragons, the cult leader's personal guard..
It's surprising that the Blood Demon knew about his existence, and he even selected him to join the Blood Dragon Corps.?
It would be a lie if I said I wasn't curious.
“saw a fortune.”
A completely unexpected answer came from the leader's mouth..
But at the same time, it was an understandable explanation..
If the sect master, who is a master of magic, saw the fortune, it was no longer just a fortune, but the level of prophecy..
“Just listen and forget for now..”
At that moment, the cult leader’s Blood Demon Eyes glowed magically. Baek Soo-ryong felt the strength in his body relax..
“ah…….”
Hearing his own voice making a dazed sound, Baek Soo-ryong realized why his memories of that day were blurry..
‘You blurred my consciousness with blood demon eyes..’
The blood demon got up from its seat and walked towards him..
Jeopuk.
“You were born with a very strange fate..”
The moment I felt like taking a step, his figure was right in front of me. It was a movement that made me think it was the legendary Chukji method..
The jewel-like red eyes seemed to see right through the other person's soul..
“In the future, you will become the rock needed for this school to achieve the great cause of unifying the world.…….”
A twisted smile appeared on the Blood Demon's lips. It was like observing an interesting spirit creature..
“Or, it is destined to fuel the spark that will burn down our school..”
“…….”
White Water Dragon was kneeling blankly as if he had not heard anything, looking up at the blood demon..
What was rather surprising was the Blood Dragon Lord who was listening next to him. he asked with a serious expression.
“Teacher. What do you mean by that?…….”
“That's just how the fortune telling came out..”
“Why such an ugly fortune... … . Hey, what should I do with this guy??”
“No matter what you do, it is not destined to change. You must fulfill your duty as the Lord of the Blood Dragons..”
The Great Blood Dragon bit his lip, then turned his head and glared at the White Water Dragon..
“I will raise this child to become the rock of the unification of the world that our school will achieve..”
“do whatever suits you.”
The religious leader no longer mentioned fortune telling. He said with a somewhat tired face.
“Three days later, a meeting of elders. From then on, have that child accompany me as my escort..”
“yes.”
“I'm tired.”
It was a congratulatory command to leave..
As the blood demon waved his hand, the white water dragon of the past came to his senses..
Soon, he followed the Blood Dragon Lord out of town with a somewhat dazed expression..
Not feeling the gaze of the Blood Dragon Lord, who was looking at me with a complicated expression, I scurried back to my dorm..
‘Blood demon. Why did you say that to me when I can't even remember??’
Watching his past, Baek Soo-ryong fell into deep worry..
Then I remembered a certain family and felt a chill..
‘no way… … Did you know that I would recall the memories of that day??’
The blood demon of the past also learned the same reverse heavenly technique as himself..
Moreover, he was a master of magic..
‘perhaps…….’
I thought that the supernormal ability of the Reverse Heavenly Technique that allowed me to glimpse the past in my dreams and the Reverse Heavenly Technique of the blood demons of the past may have resonated beyond time and space..
* * *
In my dream, time passed like flowing water..
Baeksu- ryong accompanied the religious leader whenever he went to an official event and saw the religious elders, the heads of the Eight Great Families, and many masters..
Thanks to this, I often had the opportunity to observe their martial arts skills..
‘This is how I get to see the divine practitioners of the blood religion again, one by one..’
Among them, there were martial arts that White Water Dragon did not know well, and there were martial arts that were much stronger than he remembered or had clear weaknesses..
It was a day with a lot to gain..
I remember seeing and hearing things in the past, but what I see now is completely different from then..
Not only was the level of martial arts much higher, but I was able to view it more objectively..
In his memories of the past, Baek Soo-ryong saw, analyzed, and dug into the many martial arts of the blood cult masters..
‘I might make a scallion dish later..’
If the blood religion becomes active again in the future, we will be able to gain great benefits from the fight against them..
Time did not flow straight in the dream.
Some events were skipped, and others appeared in a different chronological order..
‘How much time has passed outside?.’
Probably not much time has passed.
At the shortest it will be a few hours, at the longest it will be a day or two..
Because that's what dreams are like..
‘It would be nice if I could find a clue to regain my memories before I wake up.…….’
If it is true that the White Water Dragon of the past came here and lost his memories, there will also be clues left here to help him regain his memories..
But there was no significant result.
Instead, Baek Soo-ryong focused on analyzing, refining, and remembering the martial arts of Hyeolgyo every day..
“The lowly thing is struggling.”
Life in the Blood Dragon was never easy..
After being picked on by Cho Hyeok on the first day, the harassment from Cho Hyeok and the Eight Great Families continued..
They often started quarrels, found faults, and framed people..
In particular, Chohyeok's actions crossed the line. He harassed the White Water Dragon very cunningly and secretly when the Blood Dragon Lord was not looking..
“I guess there is nothing to be afraid of in the world since the great ruler is the favorite.?”
“I never thought that way.”
“really? But why are you holding your head stiffly in front of me??”
“…….”
The White Water Dragon did not inform the Blood Dragon Lord of that fact..
I thought it would be resolved when I got stronger..
I gritted my teeth and held on..
I had nosebleeds every day and couldn't sleep well, but it didn't matter..
Because it was as bad as anyone else's.
‘That day will come soon.’
Baek Soo-ryong looked at his past self with pitiful eyes..
The day is not far when you will lose your dantian due to excessive practice..
But before that, Baek Soo-ryong thought of testing one thing..
“I have a feeling that Daeju is strangely partial to you. Are you giving me the back hole??”
That day too, Chohyeok and his gang called Baek Soo-ryong and started an argument..
Since the first day, there has been almost no use of sparring as an excuse to start a fight..
First of all, before that, all kinds of humiliation and contempt were inflicted..
When Baek Soo-ryong, who had been holding back, got angry and refuted, only then did he use sparring as an excuse to go back and fight..
In those days, the bruises under Baek Soo-ryong's clothes never went away..
“Look at this? Since you can't say no, I guess this is real.?”
The members of the cult's personal guard laugh at Chohyuk's crude joke..
“…….”
In the past, I endured all of this. Afterwards, he didn't even respond. As I quietly sharpened my knife, I promised myself that I would get revenge someday..
But there was no need for that now..
“Assholes.”
At the words that came out of Baek Soo-ryong's mouth, Chohyeok and his gang widened their eyes in surprise..
“……What did you just say??”
“They said they were idiots.”
This is a space where memories from previous lives are recreated as ‘dreams’..
And dreams can be changed at will by the dreamer..
Baek Soo-ryong changed the dream that had been flowing like a memory from the past..
His new form became blurred for a moment, and he punched Chohyuk in the face..
Wow!
“Wow!”
Chohyuk flew away, spurting blood. A few broken teeth were scattered in the air..
“Is this crazy?!”
“Suddenly surprise attack!”
The surprised seniors of the Blood Dragons all drew their weapons and shouted..
Baeksu-ryong slowly bent his neck from side to side and spoke..
“Since a long time ago, I wanted to beat you guys up. I also practiced martial arts in my dreams and it worked out well. Isn't it?”
A grinning white water dragon attacked his old seniors..
