I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 323
323fury
I was soon able to find my sister-in-law, and this person was close enough to make me laugh..
A contact distance that can be reached within a few minutes if you know the direction correctly..
Sister Cheon was standing with her back on the edge of a precarious cliff. Even though he must have realized my existence, he doesn't look back..
What are you seeing??
Out of curiosity, I stood next to my sister-in-law instead of talking to her..
“…….”
I looked in the direction where the sister-in-law was probably looking, but the fog was thick and I couldn't see anything else..
Clap.
At that moment, the sister unfolded the iron wire and fanned it..
It's not easy to show dignity even when fanning a fan, but the sister-in-law's movements... what should i say.
It feels as elegant as the dance moves of a shaman performing a ceremony..
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The air waves generated from the iron line soon became strong winds sweeping all around, driving away the fog, and soon the surrounding scenery was revealed..
“and…….”
I was a little embarrassed..
This was the first time I saw such an open view in Yeongsan..
Even if it wasn't a particularly foggy day, this unidentifiable world was always covered by a strange, unknown air current..
I once thought that too.
I wonder if this rocky mountain is sticking out alone in a pitch-black nothingness..
Although it was a thought that disappeared after I set foot on earth through Arang's training,.
“It didn't take long.”
The sister-in-law's voice tickled my ears..
I asked, thinking that it was a nice voice to hear again..
“What?”
“Until Luan found me..”
My sister-in-law folded the wire and looked at me..
Sometimes my sister-in-law showed this behavior.
Even though you can't see your eyes, you still act as if you are making eye contact when talking formally with the other person..
Because I knew that it was consideration or politeness shown by my sister-in-law, I also behaved properly..
Somehow, when I'm in front of my sister-in-law, I feel like I pay more attention to my behavior and how I dress than when I'm face to face with my mother..
Wouldn't it be like this if you had a sister who was older than you??
‘no. There is.’
Although she is a half-sister whom I have never had a deep conversation with..
“You've become stronger.”
“…hmm.”
The advantage and disadvantage of having a sister-in-law is that she doesn't hesitate to say things that tickle her. I scratched my cheek, which wasn't even itchy, for no reason..
It was clear that he had regressed and become stronger at an unbelievable rate, but he was still not confident that he had regained all of his original strength..
“When you change where you stand, the scenery also changes. What do you see in Luan now??”
“…….”
Is this a philosophical question??
I didn't think that was it..
The second sister-in-law, surprisingly, does not prefer a general speaking style..
I don't know the details, but I heard that he doesn't really like experts in the legal or Taoist schools..
So I stood on the mountain and looked around..
A landscape that I have seen hundreds or thousands of times..
The fog around Yeongsan has disappeared, but this does not mean that all the strange currents in this world have disappeared..
The shape of the mountain rising far away in the distance still seemed unclear, like an unlit lighthouse in the sea fog..
“I see other mountains.”
“Other than that?”
“My strategy is lacking, so other than that I’m not good at it.…….”
“You can tell me what you feel with all five senses other than your physical eyes..”
“hmm.”
When I heard those words, I closed my eyes and opened my other senses..
“… I think I can faintly hear something like the howl of an animal in the distance? There is also the occasional sound of falling stones. also… There is a faint scent of camellia from somewhere..”
“It's my favorite scent..”
“ah.”
I opened my eyes and was slightly embarrassed..
The sister-in-law was smiling... Come to think of it, this person always smelled of camellia trees..
I felt embarrassed for no reason so I changed my mind..
“…I can't even see the bottom yet..”
“okay. Now, let’s broaden our horizons a little more.?”
“yes?”
Sister Cheon pointed the iron wire to the sky, and my head naturally followed..
“ah.”
I blinked and immediately realized what the sister-in-law was pointing to..
The hazy gray sky.
In the bleak sky that often showed only a faint glow when I looked up, I saw something a little different today..
It's too much.
“…….”
Of course, you can often observe stars even when the sun is up, depending on the state of the atmosphere, but I was quite embarrassed..
At least I have never witnessed a star in Yeongsan before..
“…I can see stars?”
“How much?”
“Uh, I don't know. Some places are crowded and others are scattered, so it will take some time to count them one by one..”
“If you just point the direction.”
I stretched out my finger and pointed at each cluster of stars I could see..
“Here and there, ah. And over there too.”
Although the sister-in-law was blind, she guessed exactly where I was pointing based on the movement of the air. She nodded and then asked..
“Can't you see anything else??”
“Something else?”
I scanned the sky again, but saw nothing but the stars..
“yes. I can't see anything in particular..”
“great. The direction of training has been determined..”
“……?”
The sister-in-law smiled slightly and said.
“Luan, are you ready to go to hell??”
“……!”
And so, the training called hell had finally begun.…….
…….
…….
…….
…That didn't happen.
The sister-in-law left me a little nervous and started walking somewhere again..
“Where are you going??”
“This is where I just said.”
The place I just mentioned, hell.?
I felt puzzled, but I didn't think he would answer if I asked any more, so I followed my sister in silence..
Actually, I wanted to have a thoughtful conversation over a cup of tea like I did during the fourth execution, but…….
It doesn't necessarily show that kind of attitude..
There is no way my sister-in-law could not guess my inner thoughts, so I thought there must be a reason for my current actions..
Unlike when Sister Cheon disappeared earlier, she followed my pace and walked somewhat leisurely..
We climbed Yeongsan leisurely, as if we were enjoying hiking, without much conversation, and soon reached the peak..
“hmm.”
I glanced at Master's residence. Of course, there was no feeling of popularity there..
“Do you want to meet Master??”
“what…….”
Although I read his thoughts accurately, I wasn't that surprised. This is because this was also a speaking method that Sister Cheon often showed..
Is it possible to read people's minds without being blind? You never know..
“I would like to meet you. I was able to often talk and hear news from my other brother-in-law, but I think it's been a while since I've seen you..”
“When was the last time you saw it??”
“…About a few months ago? Is there a strange mirror in my family? If you go through that, you can enter a strange space, and that's where we met..”
In a protection ceremony, it refers to when you receive protection..
“Then, the last person to see Master was Luan..”
“yes?”
I was embarrassed and asked a question, but my sister-in-law asked the opposite question..
“What was Master like back then??”
“What it looks like?”
The question was a bit strange, so I asked it back. My sister-in-law nodded gently, so I tried to recall the memory of that time in more detail..
“Well, Master, you always act like a teacher. Arbitrary and unpredictable. But at that time, he also gave some unusually serious advice..”
“okay.”
The sister nodded and spoke again.
“ruler. Then keep going up..”
“uh…….”
What kind of absurd thing is this?.
I looked around with a question mark on my sister-in-law’s words..
Of course, this place where Master's residence is located is the top of the sacred mountain, that is, the peak of the mountain..
It means there is no more room to go up..
But my sister-in-law didn't care about my questions and walked towards the cliff - and took a step into the sky..
“private residence?”
The voice rose slightly, but not to the point of making a fuss..
Because it was clear that if the sister-in-law's inaction were to occur, even if she fell from this sacred mountain, she would be safe without a single injury..
Of course, that doesn't mean I can understand the reason for the eccentricity.-.
The scene that unfolded in the next moment was even more unexpected..
The sister-in-law's steps were in the air..
“……?”
I lightly rubbed my eyes, but the scene before my eyes did not change..
The sister-in-law was stepping upwards step by step in the air..
“What…….”
Is it the void that I only heard about? Or is it one of the techniques that the sister-in-law can use?.
I've never seen it in person, but my sister-in-law said she can fly in the clouds..
“…….”
My sister-in-law stopped at some point in the air and looked down at me..
No words were said this time, but I understand that it means follow me..
The meaning of going to hell doesn't mean that we should fall off the mountain together, hit our heads, and die..
I was skeptical and stretched out my feet in the same place where my sister-in-law had stepped.…….
“……!”
I felt the touch of something solid..
There seems to be an invisible staircase..
‘Was there something like this in Yeongsan??’
10Even though I stayed there for a year, I had no idea..
Even though I was stepping on it, I had no idea what the concept was..
There doesn't seem to be an invisible staircase like I thought before, but if that were the case, it would have felt out of place on rainy or windy days..
Anyway, even though I felt suspicious, I walked up the invisible stairs and the sister-in-law said.
“Luan.”
“yes.”
“You must follow along carefully from now on..”
“…….”
The tone is firm..
This is what Sister Cheon's voice sounds like when she gives serious advice..
I nodded silently and followed behind my sister-in-law..
***
Yeongsan is a place where the concept of time is vague..
There is no boundary between day and night, and there is no such thing as a clock. Even if it exists, I don't know if it will work properly..
So, there is one thing that can check the flow of time in this space..
Wow!-.
It was the cry of an unknown monster..
The moment I heard crying, I realized that about a day had passed and I looked down for a moment..
“…….”
I can still see Yeongsan below, but it is far away..
When I realized how high I had climbed, I was unusually nervous..
To be honest, I wasn't confident that I would be okay after falling from this height..
Yeongsan alone was never a low mountain, but it is natural that it has climbed at least several thousand meters..
It also came to mind when I was climbing the stairs of the Academy the other day..
Was it the infinite staircase created by Dean Alderson??
At the time, the ordeal wasn't a big deal to me at all.…….
Now that I am much stronger than then, I feel pressured even though I have climbed less distance than then..
‘I feel like I'm getting tired quickly…….’
I've only been climbing for about a day, but I'm already quite tired and my breathing is getting harder..
I heard it somewhere.
The higher you go, the thinner the oxygen becomes.…….
I don't know if the same rule applies to Yeongsan, but I think it's true, seeing as my breathing has become heavier apart from physical fatigue..
Did he seem pitiful to me like that?.
“Let's take a break.”
My sister-in-law opened her mouth for the first time in a long time..
“can i sit here?”
“You can lie down.”
At the words of my sister-in-law, I lay down on the spot and stretched out..
After stretching, I realized that my body was more tired than I thought..
Is it obvious??
After treating Cheolhyeolgong at Badniker, I came to Yeongsan and headed upward, stepping on invisible stairs all day..
Since it was an invisible staircase, I had no choice but to remain tense even when taking a step..
“…….”
The wind that blew from somewhere cooled my sweat, and I felt good because it was moderately cool..
Did you rest for about 5 minutes like that?.
“It is often said that the whole world where people live is under the heavens..”
At the sound of a calm voice, I opened my eyes and looked at my sister-in-law..
“I guess he meant that the world under the sky is everything..”
“…….”
“However, as science developed, humans learned that the world still extends beyond the clouds. Of course, that place was neither heaven nor heaven, and immortal gods did not exist..”
What do you want to say again this time?.
I was puzzled, but my sister-in-law was basically not one to say meaningless things, so I kept my mouth shut..
“In fact, wise people knew from the beginning. The stars that decorate the night sky are not just stuck there, but exist in a very distant place..”
The sister-in-law unfolded the iron wire and continued speaking..
“Luan, I’m sure you now believe that there are many different worlds in this universe.?”
“Of course.”
The executioners currently in Yeongsan, including Baek No-kwang, are all from another world, so there is no way not to believe it..
“Then how long do you think the world will exist??”
“…well? Still, wouldn't there be dozens?.”
The sister-in-law laughed softly..
“no one can count.”
“yes?”
“For example, would you believe me if I told you that there are more than grains of sand spread out in an unknown desert??”
“…….”
I closed my mouth.
Violation of this may result in criminal and civil legal liability..
