Chapter 656
656fury. Just one reverse
As the existence of the Blood Demon disappeared beyond the universe, the landscape of the mental world began to change rapidly, centering on the White Water Dragon..
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
The dark red and gloomy sky of hell is painted blue. The blue sky spread like paint dropped on water and was clear without a single cloud..
There were also great changes in the earthly landscape. The ground that cracked and collapsed and turned into ruins was filled with new flesh, and the smell of blood that was everywhere disappeared without a trace. Broken buildings and corpses were scattered like a mirage, and a new landscape was drawn on top of them..
“This is…….”
Geo Sang-woong opened his eyes wide and looked around at the familiar sight. A familiar street and people rushing back and forth. The vibrant cityscape was all familiar to my eyes, as if I could grasp it with my hands..
“……It's Cheongryong Academic Center..”
Beside him, Namgungsu raised his head and looked at the large plaque in front. It was written in a handwriting comparable to that of a warrior: Blue Dragon School..
The world of images was a space that represented the mind of the person who created it. It was a sight that showed Baek Soo-ryong what was most important right now..
“haha! That kid finally…….”
“You're out of hell.”
“……It took so long.”
“You don't have to worry anymore.”
The four masters also looked around the student's mental world with satisfied smiles..
It was no longer a bleak winter full of corpses. It was a warm spring scene, and many people who exchanged affection with the disciple were present..
At that moment, Baek Su-ryong, who had landed on the ground, walked towards the masters with a sly smile..
“Masters. Did you enjoy it? Your disciple was recently crowned the greatest person of all time and modern times..”
The smile on your master's lips grew deeper at the shamelessly confident look and tone of his disciple..
“You bastard. I don't know if he is the greatest warrior of all time, but he is the greatest monster of all time. Are you planning on bewitching both men and women with that dance move??”
The appearance of Master Maeng, who was laughing and joking, was turning white. The other masters were the same. It meant that the time given to them was coming to an end..
Baek Soo-ryong looked at your master with a strange expression that was neither smiling nor crying, and finally opened his mouth..
“……Before you leave, would you like to say a word to your grandchildren??”
The four masters smiled and nodded and approached the apostles..
Except for Sagon, all of the apostles were transformed into old men..
It was the price of exhausting most of the natural energy in the fight against the blood demon. The body, which had stopped aging after reaching a state of peerlessness, rapidly weakened as it went through all those years at once..
The four masters facing each other in front of the apostles who inherited their martial skills opened their mouths..
“Your martial arts sword has gone beyond something I created and has become entirely yours. It was a fun experience to be able to wield a sword together, even if only for a moment..”
“……It was an amazing experience for me too.”
Geomjon Moronghon recognized and praised Ilsado’s sword, which pioneered a new realm with the Mugeuk sword. Ilsa-do raised a gun-gwon-jirye as a thank you..
“Your Shinwolbing Baekmu is not wrong. In a place that I thought was filled with only resentment and hatred, there was a warm heart that thought of your friends..”
“……Did you do that?.”
When Eun Ye-rin, the Ice Moon Goddess, smiled kindly at the words, Isado made a blank expression as if he realized something, but then smiled faintly and nodded..
“It is up to future generations to decide whether to take revenge or forgive. Just don't forget what you did.”
“…….”
Gwangma Heonwonhu gave advice to the Samsado with a remorseful expression, and the Samsado also nodded with a similar expression. A lot of conversation was omitted in the silence between the two men..
“ha ha ha! As expected, the masters who have learned my martial arts skills are the best! A healthy mind comes from a strong body.!”
Green Forest King Meng Ho-Ak hugged Sagon and Geo Sang-Woong at the same time and then let them go. Unlike other masters, he had no hesitation in dealing with his masters. Meng Haoyu first whispered into Geo Shangxiong’s ear..
“He's the son of a top teenager? Please take care of the Green Forest guys from now on..”
“……yes? Oh, I see..”
Meng Hoak, who grinned at Geo Sangwoong, who suddenly answered that he understood, then looked at Sagon this time. Many emotions flashed across his playful face in an instant..
“In the past, I wondered why the guy who inherited my martial arts skills wasn't so strong... … . It turns out that your heart is the strongest. thanks. For waking up my poor student.”
Sagon grinned, nodded, and held out his fist. Meng Hoak is hahaha-! He let out a hearty laugh and lightly bumped his fist with Sagon..
“Disciple. Now it's really time to leave.”
After telling each of the masters what they had to say, the masters looked back at Baek Soo-ryong with relieved faces. Their appearance was now completely engulfed in white light..
And at that moment, the masters called Baek Su-ryong in one voice..
“Water dragon.”
White Water Dragon's eyes widened in surprise..
When I was called by my current name by my teachers, a strange feeling came over me that was difficult to explain in words..
I was happy, but at the same time I was so emotional that I felt like crying..
Is it because he now feels like they are trying to leave him completely??
“We are proud that you are our student. Please be happy.”
The voices of the four masters, who turned white, rang out as one. Baek Soo-ryong answered, strengthening his eyes as his vision began to blur..
“I am also proud of my masters, and I will miss them for the rest of my life. And someday… … I'll see you again?”
“If the sky is capricious, we might see it again.”
The gentle laughter of the masters echoed distantly throughout the world of imagination..
dump.
“Baek Soo-ryong, a Buddhist disciple, sends greetings to his teachers. Things I learned from the teachers who shaped me as a person... … . I will live my life without forgetting it and passing it on to future generations..”
Baeksu-ryong bowed deeply to his teachers. After a moment of being speechless due to a lump in my throat, I raised my head and smiled brightly..
“I was happy to be your disciple..”
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
The spirits of the masters left, brightening the world of images. Heon Won-gang, Wi Ji-cheon, Ya Su-hyeok, and Yeo-min, who they had temporarily borrowed, fell unconscious..
Namgungsu and Geosangwoong carefully picked them up. Baeksu-ryong was still kneeling and looking up at the sky. It was like seeing the masters off on their way out..
“……Let's go back first.”
When Namgungsu struck the air with all his might, a crack appeared in the world of images. Geo Sang-woong, who had his juniors wrapped around his shoulders, followed them without notice..
“White Water Dragon.”
Namgungsu, who was about to leave the world of images, stopped for a moment and looked back at Baeksuryong. At that moment, Baek Su-ryong also turned his head and looked at Nam Gung-su..
“……I will assume that the right to wish was not used..”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and nodded, saying he understood..
Just like that, Namgungsu and Cheongnyonggomang also left the world of imagination..
After seeing off his friends and disciples, Baek Su-ryong turned and looked at the apostles who were quietly waiting for him..
“You made me wait a long time.”
There was still a story left to be told between priests and priests..
Baek Soo-ryong made time pass as slowly as possible in the world of images and finally faced his disciples..
It was a meeting that took place after a very long wait..
* * *
White Water Dragon and the apostles talked for quite some time..
Emotions accumulated over decades do not easily disappear..
That's why teachers and students were more honest with each other and no longer tried to hide anything..
“……I resented and hated you.”
“There were countless times I wanted to kill.”
“We made plans every night..”
Memories of the painful past, resentment and hatred, the apostles talked about it all for the first time while looking straight into the eyes of their teacher..
“okay. It was like that..”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded and listened to what his disciples said, and also told his own story, which he had never told before..
Under what circumstances did he accept his students in his past life, with what mindset did he teach martial arts, and what changes did he have in his mind over the long period of ten years?.
“Why didn't you tell us anything??”
“At the time, I thought it shouldn't be like that. Because not only my life was at stake, but also the lives of my masters..”
“were we afraid?”
“okay. I was afraid. I am afraid that I will kill you with my own hands. Or I was afraid that you would kill me and I would often think of that moment..”
“…….”
Disciples who once hated their teacher to the point of wanting to kill him..
However, as time passed, there were parts of me that naturally came to know my teacher's position even if I did not want to know..
Blood religion was an environment in which people could not live normally, and everyone had no choice but to become desperate to survive..
“No matter what I say, the wrong I did to you will not go away.…….”
“Of course it can't be like that..”
Just by looking into each other's eyes and talking honestly, there was definitely some improvement..
Because they have not only harbored feelings of resentment and hatred toward each other throughout their lives..
The calm and clear eyes of the apostles said so..
“……okay. I see.”
We didn't just keep talking about each other's guilt and mistakes..
Among the memories that came to mind after the apostles broke the blood demon spell on their own, there were some that could be called memories..
“Samho. Do you remember a time when you urinated on the blanket and tore it into pieces under the pretext of training because you were afraid your teacher would find out??”
“……don't talk nonsense.”
“Judging by the expression on his face, he seems to remember it vividly.?”
“Even you... … . Sagon. What I'm saying is, don't just laugh, but defend me at least in sign language.!”
Thanks to that, we were able to laugh and chat with each other a little later..
Baek Soo-ryong looked closely at the faces of each of his disciples..
The faces of the disciples who became old after consuming the precepts.
Recalling just a handful of memories, I took in the faint smiles on their wrinkled faces for a long time..
It was because there was not much time left to see those faces..
Pusssss…….
The image world was scattering like dust from the outskirts..
The space for the magic that should have disappeared a long time ago was barely maintained by Baeksu-ryong's earnest will and the faint remaining energy of the reverse sky..
But even that seemed to have reached its limit now..
“There are no more limits.”
When Ilsado said that with a calm expression, Isado and Samsado also nodded and smiled faintly..
They had only a few months to live, maybe even a few days..
It was the price of consuming most of the Seoncheonji, and they accepted their fate calmly..
Coogung! Kugugoogung Palace……!
The apostles took one last look around the collapsing world of images..
In particular, envious eyes stayed at the Cheongryong Academic Center for a long time..
“If we too can do reincarnation, I hope we can meet Master again at the Blue Dragon Academy..”
“You are born into an ordinary samurai family, you grow up receiving love from your parents, and when you get older, you enter a school and meet again..”
“Sounds fun. There will be a lot more things to happen with you in that life..”
“…….”
The apostles laughed and assumed among themselves what if..
However, their expressions were already prepared for the end. The eyes that looked at the collapsing world of images were faintly trembling..
“……It won't work either..”
At that time, Baek Soo-ryong sighed deeply and said. The apostles looked at him with puzzled expressions..
“I can't let you go like this. I will not wait for you, endlessly hoping that the heavens will grant you heavenly luck or show you generosity..”
After finishing speaking, Baeksu-ryong raised his head and glared at the sky, where the crack had not yet completely closed. The last remaining energy of the heavenly sky was about to escape..
Sssssssut…….
At that moment, Baek Su-ryong’s eyes turned red once again..
“One last time, I will use the power of the reverse sky..”
