Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 322
322fury
The second sister-in-law, who smiled slightly, landed silently on the rock and started walking somewhere with her back to me..
“private residence?”
I stopped tilting my head and was surprised..
The fog was particularly thick in Yeongsan today, and the second sister-in-law's appearance quickly disappeared beyond the fog..
Yeongsan is like a second home to me, and it is a place that sometimes makes me feel longing.…….
I know better than anyone else that this place is dangerous, having faced numerous life-threatening crises over the past 10 years..
This mysterious and unidentified place is greatly affected by the weather, and the most dangerous of all are days with thick fog..
It means that it is much more dangerous than when it is raining, windy or snowing..
Of course, the reason is not simply because there are cliffs everywhere..
I hurriedly followed my sister-in-law, but it was difficult to find her without even looking away..
It was so frustrating that I ended up falling behind in Yeongsan in an instant..
jingle-.
At that moment, I heard a bell sound from somewhere..
At a moment when I was at a loss, a milestone appeared..
I walked in the direction where I heard the bell sound..
I wasn't without impatience, but I couldn't run. Because the cliff might unfold at the very next moment..
The fourth executioner said the other day.
It is said that death here is connected to real death.…….
At best, the divine protection was activated and he returned to Yeongsan, but if he fell to his death, let alone returning, there would be no worse death than that..
jingle…….
Anyway, although I am so cautious, I am moving forward at a somewhat slow pace..
Why does the sound of this damn bell seem to be quieter than before??
A certain premonition crosses my mind..
‘…No way, the training has already started?’
It was an absurd idea, but it wasn't entirely impossible..
The second sister-in-law's training method is harsh..
The result is completely different from the great executioner, who had a keen interest in teaching, and the fourth executional punishment, who preferred systematic education.…….
To put it bluntly, he is a person who is infinitely close to our teacher, Baek No-kwang. In one word, it could be said to be ‘unconventional’..
For reference, I just removed the third brother because he likes having fun more than me..
There is a history of both of us being beaten to dust after working together to make fun of something that the teacher had entrusted us with to practice..
anyway.
What I want to say is that it is not strange for a second sister-in-law to show her joy of reunion in the form of training..
In that case, if you miss the sister-in-law like this, you may even be deprived of the opportunity to receive training..
For example, wasting 100 days of precious time in this fog.?
This shouldn't have happened, so I became more alert..
jingle…….
The fog gradually becomes thicker..
As a result, I became dazed as if I had taken medicine, and the sensation in my limbs became faint..
In this way, the environment of Yeongsan sometimes cleverly deceives people, as if performing an illusion, and paralyzes the five senses of those who wander..
If Sister Cheon is a master of gimun transformation, it may be possible to deploy those characteristics to her own benefit or even manipulate them at will..
I walked around thinking about this and that, but soon I realized that my body was heavier than I thought..
“…what?”
And as I half-consciously groped my face, I realized that my current condition was still not normal..
So, right before he fell off the cliff, his body was eroded by the instrument and he became half-demon..
To make matters worse, the moment I touched the jagged teeth with my finger, the musical instrument inside started running wild as if it had been waiting for me..
“Ah-oh…….”
It's a different development from last time..
By the time I came to Yeongsan, my body had been completely restored. This was despite the fact that one of his arms had been completely cut off and he was in a miserable state..
I don't think it is now.
Gihyeol and Semaek, who were completely ruined from absorbing Cheolhyeolgong's instruments, are still in tatters..
Still, perhaps due to my mood, the pain seemed to have reduced considerably, so I had no trouble walking..
jingle…….
The sound of bells became fainter.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that it might not be that the sound of the bells had become quieter, but that the instrument might have distracted me from paying attention..
Anyway, now I can no longer tell which direction the sound is coming from..
“hmm…….”
So I just stopped..
And, suppressing my impatience, I even sat down on my butt..
I didn't come up with a sharp number.…….
This is because we judged that it would be more dangerous to just forcefully track the sound of the bell as it is now..
Musical instruments are also a pressing issue, but not as loud as the fading sound of bells..
I left the flapping instrument aside for a moment and focused on hearing..
“…….”
And I became curious.
Rather, after giving up control of the instrument, I felt much more at ease inside..
‘It's not a feeling?’
In fact, the momentum of the instrument has calmed down a lot, and as a result, my appearance seems to gradually return to normal..
It was the moment I opened my eyes in confusion..
[…After deciding to walk the path of seeking salvation, I faced new challenges. What on earth is a devil??]
A calm voice was heard from somewhere, and a blurry figure appeared in the fog..
It was Cheon’s sister’s residence..
The sister-in-law was standing still, looking as if she was lost in some way, but it was a bit unfamiliar as I had never seen her before..
Of course, that wasn't the only reason for the discomfort..
Instead of the usual flowing jangsam, he was wearing a simple military uniform, and not even the distinctive cloth covering his eyes was visible..
Although I closed my eyes for now.
The narrowed eyebrows and tightly closed lips revealed a deep depth of water that could not be found in a relaxed sister-in-law..
“private residence?”
Even when I called, there was no answer, which was strange since he was the best among the capital punishments in terms of the sharpness of his senses..
My sister-in-law, who had been standing still, started walking again, and I hesitantly got up and followed behind her..
[Heavenly Demon means a being with ten thousand demons. Therefore, those who will walk with me from now on will be defined as mad by the world..]
[So, who are the people I should keep by my side?.]
The voice continued, and somehow it felt like it was echoing in my head..
Just like an electric sound.
It seemed like the sister-in-law was not aware of my presence at all, but it was at that moment that she reached out and tried to grab my sleeve just in case..
“……!”
My hand passed through the sleeve in vain..
Can't I get involved??
It's like we have no choice but to watch what has already happened..
‘…It already happened?’
A thought suddenly occurred to me at this moment: Could it be that what I am witnessing right now is my sister-in-law's past??
Jeopuk.
The sister continued to walk in the dark..
Occasionally, a shadow-like figure would attack the sister's residence, and each time the sister's residence would go out into the water..
Blood splattered and flesh falling off.
Sister Cheon killed many people..
It saved the lives of many more people..
The path of salvation that the sister-in-law swore to walk was far from peace, rest, or romance..
Even the pitch-black darkness was stained with dark blood, and the sister-in-law walked forward with an expressionless face covered in blood and flesh..
[You can't harvest good people. Because they won't be able to handle the darkness that lurks along this path..]
[However, you cannot manipulate evil people. Those who violate the rules know no mercy and do not struggle. If you confuse process and purpose, your ego will eventually collapse..]
My sister-in-law walked down the street and sometimes stopped to think or look back..
Of course, all that unfolded behind it was a dark road stained with blood-red residue..
Initially, the sister-in-law had her eyes closed, but it seemed to me that she had been watching her own footsteps for a very long time..
[If I die, the cause of death will be insanity..]
[If you accept the demon, you will find rest, but if that were the case in the first place, you wouldn't have made the oath..]
[Not going crazy between reason and madness is like walking through Dosan Hell and not allowing even the slightest cut..]
[But my spirit seemed to be stronger than I thought..]
[I struggled with pain and suffering, but in the end, nothing happened. The cracked spirit simply did not break any further and, surprisingly, even improved over time..]
[It was only when I was on the verge of going crazy that I finally finished adjusting to my job..]
[How was that possible??]
[Suddenly a crazy thought occurred to me, it was my fundamentals..]
It seemed like a fierce and cold wind was blowing from somewhere, and the surrounding scenery changed in an instant..
The coldness of the pure white snowfield dyed everywhere..
There, frozen children were frozen to death, as if their own bodies had been used as tombstones..
[If I didn't have the memories of the children buried in the snow, I would have gone crazy by now..]
[I suddenly understood.]
[Moderately defiled people, a gray group…….]
[Those who will walk through the seven nights until the end of their lives and suffer for the rest of their lives amidst murder and mercy, reason and madness, life and death..]
[…Only those who have experienced hell can stand next to me.]
The sister-in-law took a step forward..
The fact that it was a dark, blood-red road did not change, but there was one thing that changed..
Meanwhile, someone was walking next to my sister-in-law..
The face and shape were unclear, but had a colorless appearance..
At first there was only one person, but as the sister's journey continued, the number gradually increased..
As the number of people increased, the appearance of the residence gradually changed..
The tightly tied hair came loose, and the eye patch that covered the eyes soon turned into a cloth that slightly covered the face..
Before I knew it, my sister-in-law from the past had returned to the way I knew her..
[Are similar people inevitably drawn to each other??]
[I didn't try to stand on top of them. I didn't even want to submit.]
[But somehow they came to me and followed me. To me, it felt as natural as a river leading to the sea..]
“…….”
At that moment, I realized that I had once again peeked into my sister-in-law's life. Just like when I read the Book of Heavenly Evils..
The reason will also exist for me.
I told my sister-in-law.
Now I also want to face my roots.…….
…Of course there might be another reason.
As I stood there lost in thought, the images of the past soon disappeared like a mirage and I was once again left alone in the fog..
Now the sound of the bell has completely disappeared..
As I was standing still, I heard a voice again..
[Demons are not meant to be obeyed…….]
The sister-in-law's last murmur reached my ears with unusual clarity..
“…It's not about subjugation..”
Sometimes I try to mutter it for no reason..
Maybe those words are the secret that my sister-in-law wants to remind me of right now, that penetrates my current worries.?
When I suddenly passed by the platform, I immediately sat cross-legged and faced the fluttering instrument..
Actually, I have never tried to suppress or deal with these things.…….
If there is an unfamiliar energy hovering inside the body, the body naturally has no choice but to become alert..
It was a natural reaction, like withdrawing your hand when touched by flame or tensing your body when you see the blade about to touch your uvula..
‘but…….’
I remembered an acrobatic troupe I saw back when I was a mercenary..
Among them, one young acrobat put his body in a box infested with poisonous snakes, and just looking at it at the time made my whole body itch..
Then, I happened to see the acrobat at a drinking party...
- Snakes are sensitive to temperature! So first you need to cool your body temperature..
- Of course, that alone is not enough. The most important thing is to let down your guard. Relax your muscles, don't cut your nails, and go in thinking you're soaking in a bathtub... No, are you a new employee? Hahaha!
- Anyway, I just need to make these guys realize that I'm harmless. Then they consider me part of their own people..
- Still, the snake’s body temperature is warmer than ice water! Wouldn't it be relaxing to think about soaking in a lukewarm bathtub? It's a joke! Never follow this!
Even now that I think about it, he didn't seem sane, but the nonsense he said back then felt like advice now..
This means don't let your guard down..
Of course, leaving the internal instrument unattended is much more dangerous than throwing one's body into a group of poisonous snakes..
Just from a sense perspective, it is no different from releasing a swarm of poisonous scorpions inside your body..
“Whoa whoa…….”
Of course, it's easier said than done, but it wasn't an easy choice for me to leave these guys alone who would destroy not only my entire body, but also my organs..
But there is no other sharp sword.
Sometimes in life, moments like this come.
There are times when you have to make a decision even though you know the risks are enormous..
After making my decision, I intentionally canceled the body's natural rejection reaction one by one..
This act was as difficult as manipulating muscles that cannot be moved by human will.…….
A martial artist who can control the power of internal energy can control not only involuntary muscles but also the basic immune system of the body..
The point itself is similar..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…….
The instrument, now completely free, began to run wild..
Cooung……!
I felt like my body was shaking inside. Blood naturally welled up in my throat, but I forced myself to swallow it..
For a moment, I thought about activating my body's immunity again, but if we've come this far, that's actually counterproductive..
With my eyes closed, I presented my body to the instrument as if it were a playground..
The short time felt very long.
Since the terrible pain of thousands of needles poking inside my body felt endless, I also focused only on persevering..
At that moment, the wild instruments gathered near the heart.…….
“…….”
I was a little nervous..
This is because this instrument originally stayed mainly near the heart of Cheolhyeolgong..
Does he instinctively know human vital points??
Probably not..
No matter how evil it is, its fundamental source is just an energy source..
Just as flowing water has no will, this instrument also has only qualities..
and…….
The violent instrument suddenly calmed down..
As if they had finally found their home, as soon as they touched my heart, they lost their sharp energy and sat there..
It became stable in an instant..
“…This is it.”
Is it simply because of my sister-in-law’s advice??
Strangely, I thought that wasn't the case..
It feels like the momentum of the instrument itself has become much quieter than before coming to Yeongsan..
Of course I'm not sure…….
Musical instruments have not disappeared completely..
However, I thought that it might not be a bad thing to have this much powerful energy established before the heart stoppage..
It can be completely differentiated from the strength accumulated in the bottom battle..
At least now you don't have to worry about your instrument leaking while using martial arts like solar eclipse or thunderbolt..
Of course, you have to think separately about how to use this power located in your heart..
“Phew…….”
As my breathing became easier, my mind also became clearer..
jingle…….
In it, I realized that the sound of the bell had not actually gone away..
I got up and walked to where I heard the sound of the bell..
Violation of this may result in criminal and civil legal liability..
