Chapter 257
257fury. Eunho
Baek Soo-ryong lost consciousness and fell down as soon as his physical strength ended..
-It's you who made us like this.
he had a dream.
The blood-covered former disciples looked at Baeksu-ryong with emotionless eyes. His hands were stained with the blood of his disciples.
‘I didn't want to kill you with my own hands.’
Baek Soo-ryong tried to wash his bloody hands with water. But no matter how much I washed it, it did not wash away. Rather, the fishy scent of blood only grew stronger..
‘this is a dream.’
Baek Su-ryong lowered his head and turned away from the gaze of his former disciples. I wanted to wake up quickly from this nightmare..
If it had been a dream about fighting a blood demon, it wouldn't have been so painful..
-Look at us. It's you who made us like this.
Baek Su-ryong, who was in tears, raised his head and glared at his former disciples..
‘Damn it! What are you going to do with me after this story is over?…….’
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes shook violently..
The former disciples had already turned into white bones. A bug crawled out of the empty eye socket. The disciples came creaking and surrounded him from all sides..
-you made us like this.
-You used us and abandoned us..
-lied to us.
-I believed it, I really believed it…….
Baek Su-ryong sat down and crouched. I covered my head with both hands. My whole body trembled like an aspen tree..
‘I am…….’
I didn't feel any guilt at the time..
Because he could use anything, not just children, to survive..
Because one could survive in a blood cult only by deceiving, stealing, robbing, and killing others..
They destroy children's emotions and personality through training that is tantamount to torture, slap a child who is crying because they are having a hard time, kick a child who falls down from exhaustion, and threaten to kill them if they do not follow orders.…….
Have you ever smiled or treated them warmly even once??
-Instructor… … help…….
-Instructor… … I'm so sick…….
-Can we take a break for a moment?……?
-please don't abandon us…….
this is a dream.
A dream created by Baek Soo-ryong’s long-standing guilt.
I knew it well myself.
Maybe there's a child among those guys who didn't die and survived..
At that time, Baeksu-ryong was busy fighting the blood demon. I didn't see exactly what happened to those guys who confronted the masters..
‘I saw them all seriously injured.…….’
At that moment, the background changed..
This is the childhood of former disciples..
Children who are much younger than the students currently teaching at Cheongryong Academic Center..
Everyone's body is covered in wounds. Most of them were made by Baek Soo-ryong himself..
-Instructor!
-Instructor…….
There was a mixture of fear and respect in the children's eyes as they looked at them..
‘Come here.’
Baek Su-ryong hugged his young disciples. The children widened their eyes in surprise. Because this has never happened before. I was so embarrassed that I writhed my body..
‘sorry.’
I hugged him tighter. Even the child who was squirming in discomfort soon becomes calm. The guys laughed and said.
-Instructor. Don't go anywhere now.
-You're with us now.!
-We're older than the kids at Cheongryong Academy, right? That's right?
Baek Soo-ryong smiled vaguely at the children who were looking up at him with innocent faces..
‘okay. I'm not going anywhere now.’
It was a fire-entry demon..
The power left behind by the single-horned demon dragon was demonic energy containing extreme hatred, anger, and malice toward humans..
Baek Su-ryong accepted it with his whole body. Fortunately, with Eunho's help, he was able to share his energy with his disciples before his body exploded, but he had to handle the demonic energy entirely on his own..
The entire body's veins and blood vessels were injured, and demonic energy even invaded the bone marrow. It was natural for a coin invasion to occur..
‘stay with you forever.’
Even though I knew it, I couldn't refuse it..
After making a promise to my former disciples, I finally felt at ease..
We will take care of these children in the future and make up for the mistakes we made in the past..
Baek Su-ryong closed his eyes. I'm falling asleep. There were so many things that made me tired. After taking a deep breath, I will wake up and cook and eat with my disciples.…….
-teacher! Come to your senses!
A familiar voice woke me up. Baek Soo-ryong struggled to lift his drooped eyelids..
-Instructor! don't listen!
-Ignore it! It's the devil's whisper!
-are here with us!
The former disciples in his arms opened their eyes wildly and looked up at the sky. They hugged Baeksu-ryong even tighter..
-Come to your senses!
Kugu Palace……!
the world shakes.
Warmth spreads within my cold body, and a ray of light shines in a space that was once dark..
A familiar voice was coming from a place where the sun shines..
No, now it was voices..
-My body is frozen…….
-Let's massage the limbs. We'll interrogate and interrogate you just like the teacher used to do to us..
-……Won't it wake up after a few hits??
-senior! Teacher, I'm sick right now.!
-Am I serious? The first thing to do is to come to your senses..
The voices became more numerous and louder..
White Water Dragon raised his head and looked at the light..
My mind, which had been dazed due to the poison spell, was coming back..
When I thought I was going to get hit if I stayed like this, I came to my senses faster..
‘By the looks of it, Wongang must be a guy..’
The white water dragon smiled and stretched out his hand following the light..
Then his former disciples clinging to his arms cried out..
-Instructor! Don't go!
-To abandon us again!
-you are a liar!
-Please, please. don't go…….
Children scream with bloody tears. Baek Soo-ryong stretched out his hand and stroked his disciples' heads..
“sorry.”
For the first time, he spoke with clear voice. It was proof that I was escaping from a dream..
“I feel sorry for you guys. But there are disciples waiting for me outside. I don't want to hurt them like I did you..”
The images of the former disciples gradually became blurred. Baek Su-ryong looked at each of those faces one by one..
I won't forget these kids.
But I won't be stuck in the past anymore.
“I have to live in reality.”
After a while, Baek Soo-ryong came to his senses..
* * *
“Huh?!”
Baek Soo-ryong woke up in shock and looked around..
““teacher!””
The disciples who were eagerly massaging their teacher's arms and legs rushed to stick their heads toward Baek Su-ryong's face. Because of this, our heads bumped into each other..
““Ouch!””
Five disciples holding their heads at the same time.
Baek Su-ryong looked at each of the faces and sighed in relief..
“Is everyone safe? The injured person?”
“No one was seriously injured. Maybe it's because I absorbed a lot of energy, but I feel a little bloated.…….”
Baek Soo-ryong slowly looked at his disciples..
Everyone had many wounds on their bodies. Even if you pretended it wasn't a big deal, it all meant you had a hard fight..
“It was hard. It must not have been easy to deal with the spirits.…….”
“teacher.”
Wei Ji-cheon suddenly said with a serious expression..
“huh?”
It wasn't the expression of the usual kind and timid boy..
Wi Ji-cheon seemed determined and said what he had always thought..
“Sometimes, it seems like teachers are trying to overprotect us. When you're training us, you push us a lot, but you always try to do dangerous things alone..”
“……Did I do that?.”
Then the other disciples all nodded as if they agreed. It seemed like everyone had accumulated complaints..
“I mean! Usually you almost kill us, but why do you want to die alone at times like this?!”
“we are not children.”
“It may seem like it's not enough to the teacher, but we're working really hard..”
“So don't treat me like a kid..”
These were the words of Heon Won-gang, Geo Sang-woong, Yeo-min, and Ya Su-hyeok, in order..
Baek Soo-ryong scratched his cheek as if embarrassed..
Perhaps it is because of past memories. Because of his experience of harming his students with his own hands, he seems to have unknowingly become overprotective while teaching the students of Blue Dragon School..
As if to cover up a mistake with that..
“……sorry.”
It was clearly his fault. Baek Soo-ryong accepted it obediently. After meeting my former disciples in my dream, I knew for sure..
“Don't do that again. I will get help from you when I need it, and I will not pretend that you are my students..”
The disciples also nodded as if satisfied with the answer..
Baek Soo-ryong stood up with support from Heon Won-gang..
The inside of my body was a mess. I thought I would have to go back and recuperate for at least ten days..
Then I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten..
“Mother Eunho?”
“waiting for us.”
Ya Soo-hyuk said. In his arms, Eunho, an exhausted baby, was sleeping soundly..
“Since there was no time, the teacher asked me to come as soon as he wakes up..”
* * *
Mother Eunho was hiding in a cave deep in the mountains..
[……You came.]
Eunho was unable to move even if he wanted to..
Internal organs were flowing out from the torn side, and black stains caused by the poison of the poisonous demon dragon were spread here and there all over the body..
Mother Eunho was dying..
Kiyi. Twisting.
The cub, Eunho, woke up and ran to his mother..
The mother slowly licked the baby with her tongue. Then the wounds on the cub's body healed..
[……There isn't much time left now.]
After the cub fell asleep completely, Eunho turned his head and looked at the humans who came to see him. He continued speaking in a tired voice..
[I guess I should first say thank you for taking care of my child..]
Eun-ho’s gaze turned to Ya Su-hyuk. Ya Su-hyuk scratched his head sheepishly..
I can't believe I heard myself thanking the tiger for losing my father due to a commotion. As I lived, all sorts of things happened..
“it's okay. Because we also received help from that little guy..”
[Still, I want to return the favor..]
At that moment, the white light that flowed from Eun-ho’s body dwelled in Ya Su-hyuk’s body..
“What, what??”
Embarrassed, Ya Su-hyuk looked at his body. The light quickly faded, and there was no change other than the feeling of my body getting warmer..
[From now on, the beasts of the mountains will follow you. Trees and birds will welcome you, and flowers will show you the way..]
The white light was Eunho’s blessing. Ya Soo-hyuk had a bewildered expression..
Eunho looked around at the other humans with a slightly more tired face. The voice seemed strained..
[I want to bless you all, but I don't have enough energy left..]
“This guy is the only one who goes to the mountains often anyway. we don't really need it.”
Baek Soo-ryong stepped forward and looked at Eun-ho. In his eyes, Lee Chae was young..
‘I expected it, but it's not an ordinary spirit creature..’
There was no way an ordinary spirit creature could have such magical energy and abilities. It was a being that should be called a divine beast rather than a spirit creature..
“Why did you call us? What is a favor??”
[Human beings born with a destiny of reverse heaven. how much do you know?]
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong’s expression hardened..
“……You guys go out for a little while..”
Baek Soo-ryong looked back at his disciples and said,.
His disciples quietly went outside to see his serious mood..
After everyone went outside, Baek Soo-ryong frowned and asked Eun-ho..
“Do you know? What do you mean??”
At that moment, Eunho’s eyes were colored with a magical blue light..
[In the future, the world will fall into greater chaos. Monsters like the single-horned demon dragon will appear again, and the number of strange incidents called supernatural gods will increase.…….]
Eun-ho said while looking straight into Baek Su-ryong’s eyes..
[This has nothing to do with your fate.]
