Chapter 415
415fury. It's you again
Memories of my past life flowed quickly..
Twenty Seven visited the masters in prison every day, learned martial arts, and made a plan to escape from the blood religion together..
‘It's still impossible to move my body according to my will..’
Baek Su-ryong had no choice but to watch the memories of his past life pass by..
At first I tried to move my body somehow, but then I realized it was impossible..
When I thought about the reason carefully, I came to one conclusion..
‘Is it because of the Blood Demon's fingers??’
The last time I came here, I came in using only the phrases left in my diary from the past..
However, this time, while absorbing ‘Blood Demon’s Finger’ and ‘Poisonous Spirit’, at the same time, he was able to use Reverse Heavenly Technique..
The poisonous essence is only used to correct the constitution and has no effect on the reverse heavenly technique, but the blood demon's fingers are different..
If the dead blood demon's thoughts remain in the fingers, wouldn't it be able to affect this space as well??
It's just an assumption, but I couldn't think of any other reason..
‘Then a blood demon may appear..’
Baek Soo-ryong decided to wait calmly..
Fortunately, the flow of time here was different from the reality outside..
Just as Moon Yul had a hundred years of marriage with Master Eun in his dream one night, this was also a long dream created from memories of Baek Soo-ryong's past life..
And, it was quite nice to see the faces of the masters after a long time..
“You miserable bastard! Because that's not how you do it!”
‘Looking at it again, that guy is too much, but.’
As Twenty-Seven's physical condition gradually improved as promised, the masters' attitude gradually softened..
“Don't just do it with strength, but be soft and elastic! Look, you can do it like this, like this, and like this.!”
After demonstrating the Eighteen Styles of Green Forest with chains attached to his entire body, Meng Hao-yi mistreated his disciple..
“It's so easy, why can't I do it in one go??”
“I really…….”
Twenty-Seven Tiger looked at Meng Haoyu with an expression of bewilderment..
His method was to show a test once and say, “This is roughly the way to go.” It was no different from saying, “Isn’t it so easy?”.
“Master Meng, don’t even think about teaching anyone when you leave here. Because I have no talent for teaching at all..”
“But doesn't your boy learn easily??”
“That's because I'm good at it.”
“her! He seems like an unlucky guy.”
Among the four masters, Twenty-Seven became closest to Master Maeng the fastest..
Now to the point where I occasionally share personal stories..
“But when it comes to escaping from here. We say there is nothing to be afraid of if you regain your martial arts skills, but can you follow us with a body without any internal energy??”
“…….”
Half a year since I spent time with the masters.
Up to this point, I had not yet mastered the Reverse Heavenly Technique..
A time when there was not even a single particle of internal energy in the broken danjeon..
No matter how much you learn a world-saving magic, if you can't use it, it's only half the story..
Baek Soo-ryong looked back on his long memories and remembered an event that would happen in the future..
‘It will happen soon.’
Master Maeng, who learned of his disciple's situation, clicked his tongue and said quietly..
“If you stay behind me and follow me, you won't die. I'll go while wiping out all those who stand in my way..”
He said that if you try to escape from the blood cult, a big fight will inevitably break out, so follow behind him..
Although Master Meng said these words with his own care, they were words that touched the pride of Number 27 at the time..
“……I can protect my body on my own, so Master Meng doesn’t have to worry about that..”
“Huh! I was worried for a long time, but now I'm sorry. When I get out of here later, I'm going to have to check how strong your rib cage is..”
He laughed and said something that sounded like a threat, but it was a friendly joke on Master Maeng's part..
In fact, he was quite fond of the disciple he acquired in his later years..
“Baby. Where are you going to go if you escape from here??”
“I don't know. No matter where you go, it will be better than blood religion..”
“How about following me to the green forest??”
“well…….”
It was an unexpected suggestion, but I thought about it quite seriously at the time..
After all, he was an orphan and had no connections outside of the clan, so he thought Master Meng's suggestion wasn't a bad idea..
‘If you followed Master Maeng and became Green Forest Island... … . That might not have been bad either.’
Baek Soo-ryong watched the conversation between the two and laughed..
If he had escaped the blood religion and followed Master Maeng, he might have settled down in a suitable mountain house and lived by collecting tolls from merchants passing along the street..
“I'll show you one more time, so watch carefully. Start again from the mistake made earlier.…….”
“It's my turn.”
Gwangma stood up, cutting off Master Meng’s words. Then Master Meng sighed with regret and retreated into the prison..
“Has it already been this long? I haven't even recovered yet..”
Unlike Meng Hoak, who was always talkative, Heonwonhu taught martial arts in silence. He spoke little except when necessary..
In fact, Master Meng was a unique case..
Over half a year has passed, but Twenty-Seven has not been able to become friends with any other masters other than Master Meng..
‘I didn't even feel the need to become friends..’
Although they taught and learned martial arts from each other, they still did not truly consider each other as master and disciple..
It's just a transaction based on necessity..
If it weren't for Master Meng, who is simple and cheerful by nature, the atmosphere in the prison would have been even more dreary..
“Tsk tsk. What difference does setting the mood make? If you sit there with your mouth shut and a face that looks like it has a story behind it, who will ask you first??”
Master Meng also seemed to disapprove of the other masters, and was openly sarcastic..
In particular, he would often argue with Gwangma, who seemed the most formidable of the three..
“It's best for that guy to pretend to be solemn, which doesn't suit his nickname. I heard he was once a master of some sort.…….”
“Shut up. If you don't want to die.”
Xuanyuanhu glared at him with menacing eyes, but Master Meng only snorted..
Geomjon and Ice Moon Goddess did not participate in the conversation at all..
Eun Ye-rin looked into the distance with a sad expression for most of the day, and Geomzon was blankly wondering what he was thinking, and then suddenly started talking about his son incoherently..
Twenty Seven wasn't curious about their story..
I just asked them for what they needed when the time came..
“Ice Moon Goddess. Teach me the Bing Baek Shin Gong..”
“Geomzone. Teach me the martial arts sword..”
The two did not refuse.
Twenty-seventh issue thought that was enough..
Although they spent most of the day together in prison, they showed no interest in the masters' stories..
“Then I will come again tomorrow..”
“Bring some meat side dishes tomorrow.!”
Kwaang!
Even after closing the door and heading back, I didn't look back even once..
By the time nearly a year had passed,.
The brain called him.
* * *
“How are they these days??”
Once every ten days, Twenty-Seven No. 27 wrote and posted a report to the devil..
But this was the first time in over a year that I had sung it myself like this..
Number 27, who prostrated himself before the brain, answered while hiding his nervousness..
“It's still not easy to handle, but little by little I'm persuading and figuring out martial arts..”
Demon Brain looked down at Number 27 from his seat and smiled strangely..
“I read the report you posted every time. As you said, you are quite resourceful. Everyone has failed so far, but little by little, we are making progress. So I called you to reward you..”
“Please stop saying too much. I just do my best for the glory of our school..”
Anyone could see that he was a loyal warrior of the blood religion..
The brain also nodded happily..
“I will remember your loyalty. However, awards are a separate issue. If there's anything you want, tell me.”
Number 27 hesitated for a moment and then answered..
“Elder. We need to improve their condition. Please weaken the chains and grant me some elixir..”
Then the demon's eyes narrowed. He had a very disapproving expression..
“Hmm… … . Even if their teeth are missing, they are still fierce beasts. If you recover too hastily, you might get bitten..”
“All of their martial arts skills are unparalleled. It is difficult to display a complete herbivorous diet with your current body condition. I am keeping a close watch, so please trust me and leave it to me..”
Twenty Seven bowed his head in supplication..
The demon brain thought about that for a while and eventually nodded..
“i get it. I instruct you to loosen the restraints a little. I will tell you about the elixir at the apothecary, so you can take it on your own..”
“thank you.”
Number 27 answered calmly, but inside he was happy..
If this is the reward given to him now, he will be able to expedite his escape plan a little further..
But the demon brain has not yet revealed the real reason it called him here..
“And I have one thing to tell you.”
“Please state.”
“Soon, young ones who will learn their martial arts skills will be selected..”
“……yes?”
It was my first time hearing this story..
Twenty Seven forgot that it was rude and raised his head and looked at the demon brain..
Fortunately, the demon brain did not reprimand him..
Rather, I just smile strangely.
“Are you surprised??”
“……Because it was unexpected.”
“I heard that your abilities as an instructor are the best at this school. Most of the new masters who are currently making a name for themselves in the school learned from you. And I heard they all want to kill you if they get the chance.?”
“…….”
Demon Brain laughed, got up from his seat and walked towards number twenty-seven..
“I'll give you a chance to demonstrate your abilities. Teach the children the martial arts you learned in prison..”
“……The martial arts skills I learned from them are still only in the beginning..”
“Think of it as an experiment. Couldn't they tell you the wrong structure? You say you can't learn it because your dantian is broken, but someone else can check it by learning it..”
“…….”
Number 27’s expression hardened..
It was the moment when I realized that my brain didn't trust me..
“If they deceived you and taught you fake martial arts skills…….”
Demon Brain stretched out his hand and placed it on Twenty-Seventh’s shoulder. Fingers mastered the black meat method conveyed an eerie sensation..
“I think it's better to discard it. what do you think?”
“……If they tricked me, I will kill them myself..”
As if he liked the answer, Demon Brain laughed and patted Number 27 on the shoulder..
“I will prepare the best items among the young ones who have not entered the magic arts and send them to you. Dedicate yourself to teaching them from now on..”
“yes!”
Number 27 desperately shook his head..
I thought Hyeongyo would leave your master's martial arts skills first..
I expected to start learning it myself at least a few years later.…….
I can no longer deceive you..
It was a time when his mind became very complicated..
“The teacher is coming!”
“So suddenly??”
Elder Lee's wife came in and hurriedly reported, and after a while, the leader came to the demon brain's residence in person with his bodyguards..
“Blood Demon Second Coming, Manmaangbok! A lowly servant meets his master!”
The devil got down on one knee and praised the religious leader..
Number 27 lied down behind the demon brain and repeated the same song. I didn't even dare to raise my head and placed my forehead on the floor..
“raise your head.”
A captivating yet languid voice that you can never forget once you hear it..
Number 27 stayed still..
Because I never thought he would say those words to himself..
“Didn’t you hear what the religious leader said? raise your head!”
After the Blood Dragon Lord's shout, he barely raised his head..
It was the first blood demon face I saw after losing my Danjeon and being demoted from the Blood Dragon Corps..
“come closer.”
Unrealistically beautiful appearance and unrivaled presence.
As if he existed alone in another dimension, a haze swirled around him..
Twenty-seven approached him at kneeling steps as if possessed..
“Teacher…….”
The Blood Demon stretched out his finger and slightly lifted the tip of Twenty Seven's chin..
“It's you again.”
The moment their eyes met, the blood demon's bright red jewel glowed magically..
It was a look that seemed to see through everything..
