Chapter 654
654fury. A word I saved
He was floating in a vast ocean-like abyss..
‘…….’
All senses disappeared here and I felt nothing..
I couldn't see it, hear it, or touch it. I didn't even notice the passage of time.
As the fleeting time passed by, I curled up and slowly forgot my own existence..
‘I… … Who was it??’
There was a time when he too struggled to escape this abyss. I struggled with all my might to find something or meet someone..
But now he has forgotten who he was and what he was trying to do. But I remembered that I was very tired..
‘I've done enough. I did my best.’
Although I can't even remember now what the best was..
He lived a fierce and difficult life and experienced many pains and trials. So now I have become tired and helpless..
‘This is enough.’
I rolled my crouching body even smaller. I know it's a meaningless action, but I felt a little warmer..
‘yet… … I want to rest.’
He hoped this would all end quickly. So may perfect rest finally come..
-teacher!
For a moment, he flinched at the auditory hallucination coming from far away. But then he crouched further and tried to look away as if he couldn't hear anything..
-you answer our questions…….
-Any thoughts of running away to hell alone?…….
-Even if I die, in someone else's hands…….
All kinds of auditory hallucinations continued to torment him. Feeling a bit of light emerge, he raised his head and looked around. But it was still full of abysses. I couldn't see or feel anything.
Finally, in despair, he tried to curl up again..
-Baby.
With a voice I longed for so much, a huge sound spread across the vast ocean-like abyss..
Wow-!
It didn't stop with just one time. This time, along with other nostalgic voices, a huge sound was heard in the abyss where he was trapped..
-Disciple.
-It's been a while.
-I missed you.
A series of huge tremors spread through the vast ocean-like abyss. At the same time, the darkness gradually cleared and something began to be seen little by little from afar..
So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so such…….
A part of the abyss split open and a gap was faintly visible. It was a ray of light.
“……Masters?”
He didn't even realize he had made a voice.
I started moving instinctively, following the faint but warm light..
It was still a vast abyss like an ocean..
But no longer did he hunker down and wait for everything to end. I swam toward the light with all my might..
‘I am…….’
As if it were his instinct, he continued to move against the abyss towards the light..
There were people there calling for him..
* * *
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A strong typhoon struck. But it was different from the typhoon that hit the world of imagination until now..
The image world was not created by resonating with the blood demon's will, but rather it was a vortex of energy waves rushing around the blood demon..
“How can you exist here?”
The Blood Demon's voice was full of embarrassment. This was after he had barely managed to block Meng Hao-yue's fist that came at him in the face. Bones cracked by the blow were recovering in an instant..
Meng Haoyu snorted even after seeing the Blood Demon's supernormal abilities that deviated from providence..
“It's thanks to the energy of Yeokcheon, which you like. Since providence is twisted, isn't it strange that something happens??”
“Nonsense. This is my world. A place where long-dead spirits can run wild…….”
Sigh.!
The slash that tore the entire sky open left a scar on the Blood Demon's chest. Gwangma Heonwonhu followed the retreating blood demon, his eyes shining eerily..
“You talk carelessly about the parasite-like devil. This is not yours, but my student's mental world..”
“Did you hear? Our political faction leader was very angry..”
“Shut up. Ignorant bandit..”
Heonwonhu, who glanced at Meng Hoak once, unleashed Sura Hyeolcheondo and drove the blood demon away. Behind him, the blood demon roared, leaving dozens of scars on the blood demon's body..
“Do it in moderation. He's going to cut his disciple into pieces.?”
Blah blah blah……!
The north wind and cold snow blowing from all directions, accompanied by a reproachful voice, tightened the blood demon. From Eun Ye-rin’s wrist, a pair of Bing Baek Hwan emitted a pure white air current..
“You're so cocky! Yes, they are just old souls……!”
Blood Demon, whose hands and feet were dizzy from the sudden appearance of the three masters, showed his anger for the first time. The energy of the heavenly sky emanating from the whole body resonated with the world of images..
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“I'll crush you and turn you into dust..”
Nothing was impossible if one used the energy of the reverse heaven that filled heaven and earth. Even more so in the world of images realized by one's own will, the Blood Demon was a being close to God..
However, after a while, the eyes of the blood demon who thought of himself as a god opened wide..
“……why?”
The laws of the world of images that had hitherto followed his will no longer obeyed. The enormous pressure could not crush the world-class experts or drive out the spirits from the bodies of the later leaders..
Rather, the white light flowing from your peerless body was preventing the world of your imagination from shaking..
Meng Haoyu bent his neck left and right and told me the reason..
“When our little one created this imaginary world, who do you think he thought of more earnestly than himself??”
“What……?”
“No matter how great and powerful you are, in this world you are behind us..”
Kwaaang-!
Meng Haoyu's new form stepped into the air and shot out like a beam of light. In an instant, he reached the blood demon's face and fiercely bared his teeth. A formidable force that seemed to crush the world rose from his whole body..
“Younger brothers. Let's beat this demon to dust until our student wakes up..”
“Shut up. Who is your younger brother?.”
“……Neither of you know the meaning of moderation.?”
Heonwonhu attacks the blood demon with ferocious force as if he will not be defeated by Meng Hoak, and Eun Yerin lowers the temperature of the entire world of images and blocks the blood demon's exit..
They and the blood demon's new form collided in the air, making loud noises in all directions..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“…….”
The apostles stopped for a moment and watched their fight. All of the faces, which did not show any signs of agitation, looked blank..
At that time, Geomzon, who had not yet participated in the fight, turned to the apostles and said:.
“A lot of people look exhausted. Take a breath even for a moment.”
“why…….”
Ilsado looked at Geomjon's face, the same one he last saw decades ago..
The people who had stopped them from escaping from the clan religion in the past were clearly enemies that would not be forgotten even after death..
But why does Geomzon look at himself with eyes filled with sadness, not resentment and anger?.
At that time, Geomzon opened his mouth again. He was looking at the bodies of the apostles who were in disarray..
“Since when did you start using Seoncheonjigi??”
“……Is this an important question in this situation??”
It was a fight against the enemy of life and death. Of course, I used every means possible..
Since I couldn't fight with just my inner strength, I brought in Seoncheonjigi and used it. Even if it meant shortening my lifespan, it was something I had to deal with..
But Geomzon shook his head resolutely..
“Don't drag it anymore. Your teacher will be sad.”
“…….”
Geomjon did not listen to Ilsado's answer and turned his head to look at the King of Green Forest, the Gwangma, and the Ice Moon Goddess who were fighting the blood demon..
They were pushing the blood demons with brilliant inaction that surpassed their prime, but the blood demons were not easily defeated and were fiercely counterattacking..
“We can't stay here for long. This is because the burden on the bodies of young grandchildren is great. In the end, it's up to you to do it..”
“……what? how?”
Ilsado was naturally asking.
He was confident that his skills as a swordsman had already surpassed that of a swordsman..
Nevertheless, he asked Geomzon for advice..
I unconsciously thought that the guru who created Mugeukgeom might give me some answer..
And that was the right question.
“Fill the sword with what you want to say and swing it..”
“……what?”
“What you wanted to say to your teacher, your feelings of disappointment, your love and hate, your anger, and the anger that has accumulated for a long time are all put into martial arts..”
Ugh-!
Geomjon gently swept away the sword spirit he had held for the first time in decades. A warmth filled my wrinkled face..
“……The relationship between a teacher and a student is connected through martial arts, so that's how you talk to your teacher..”
“but…….”
“Even if you are not good at expressing your emotions, that child will understand. Isn’t this guy smarter than anyone else??”
The apostles looked at each other for a moment and nodded silently. Ilsado answered Geomjon on behalf of his friends..
“I understand. Let's do that.”
“And speak highly to Sajo..”
“……yes.”
Ilsado responded without realizing it to the subtle power radiating from the sword..
The apostles and Geomjon, who had rested for a while and recovered their strength and stamina, joined the fight, and Meng Hoe glanced at them..
“Are you here? Are you here too? Come on, raise one hand at a time..”
As the teacher and disciples of the same man raised their martial arts skills with the same mind, their martial arts skills, which met across time and space, resonated with each other, creating a huge energy..
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Even the blood demon, the most bizarre being in all of history, could not handle that energy. The energy of the reverse sky slowly began to be pushed away..
“It's in vain. Do you think he will wake up if you do this?!”
Eight peerless masters surrounded the Blood Demon, who was screaming hysterically. Meng Haoyu clenched his fists and grinned..
“We will create a gap, so you can give it a deep blow one by one. Even those who sleep without knowing the world will wake up quickly..”
The fight that followed was a one-sided attack by the four masters and apostles who surrounded the blood demon..
‘With what I wanted to say.’
‘The emotions and resentments we felt.’
‘The answers I wanted to hear from you.’
Martial arts always contain the spirit and will of a martial artist..
Following Geomzon's advice, each time they used their martial arts to say what they wanted to say and hit with all their might, the apostles felt their teacher's emotions and memories slowly flowing into them..
-I hated you guys so much at first..
-Because you getting stronger meant that I was getting closer to death..
-But before you knew it, different feelings arose for you guys..
-I didn't want to be a hypocrite. It's better for you too.
-If I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have survived..
-I'm not making excuses. you deserve to hate me.
The instructor in my memory was a person who shed blood but did not shed tears..
But the apostles finally found out. Behind that cold face, there were countless tears he shed for them in his heart..
In the image world made up of my teacher’s memories and emotions, I finally came to fully understand him..
-I wanted to save you guys. will save so… … Please survive..
The Blood Demon, who had hoped to go beyond the sky, could not withstand the onslaught and gradually began to fall to the ground..
“Do not disturb! I mean don't disturb me.!”
The Blood Demon stretched out his hand toward the receding sky. The cracks in the violently swirling sky were growing bigger and bigger, but he still wouldn't let him..
“It's the devil. If you really want to go, give up my student and go away alone..”
Meng HaoYe grabbed the Blood Demon's arm and slammed it to the floor..
Kwaaaaang-!
The blood demon whose body was half buried in the ground wriggled wildly. He looked up at the sky and burst into laughter as if he had completely lost his mind..
“Hahahaha! Heaven! What is the reason you reject me so much? Is this not enough??”
The Blood Demon, whimpering and spitting out blood, saw in his eyes the bug-like people who were interfering with him endlessly. It was clear what they wanted. At that moment, an eerie sneer appeared on the Blood Demon's lips..
“If you can't surpass the sky anyway, no one in the world will get what they want. I'd rather be with this body…….”
The Blood Demon's finger, which was pointing towards the sky, fell into his heart. At the end, a sharp energy formed and the four masters and apostles, whose expressions changed, flew away in an instant..
Suddenly.
However, there was someone who moved one step ahead of him. Just before the blood demon pierced his heart, Sagon held his hand tightly..
“Let go! It means let go!”
“…….”
Sagon desperately held on to his teacher's violently resisting hand. Even though his whole body was covered in blood from the fierce energy waves emitted by the blood demon, his expression did not change at all..
He looked straight into his teacher's face and slowly opened his mouth. In order to say a word that I had saved for a long time, I carefully pronounced each letter..
“white water dragon.”
“……!”
Just once, I wanted to call your name, the name you gave me, in my own voice..
At that moment, the sound of something shattering was heard from inside the blood demon..
