Chapter 19
Episode 19 This summer we.
Ian jumped when he heard that I had killed the demon lord. It didn't matter to her how he could have killed her..
“Why on earth did you do such a dangerous thing??”
She was really angry because her words included the word 'act'. She didn't even realize she said it.
“My younger brother died, but the old man in Hyeolcheondoma is still there.?”
“So, you train hard so you can’t touch me..”
“Even if you practice for 30 years, you won't be able to stop it.!”
“Then you win. Because he would have died of old age.”
Ian sighed at my carefree reaction..
“From the moment you really changed... … My life has become twice as difficult.”
“haha. Then lose weight and be good.”
“master!”
Not only Ian but also the school was in an uproar..
The impact itself was different from the news that a disciple of Hyeolcheondoma had died by my hand..
I felt the change even on the way to Cheonmajeon at my father’s call..
The way they look at me has changed.
Many people expected that the successor would be his older brother. But now things are starting to change.
When I won in Bimu, people were excited and made a wish for hunting, which became a hot topic. I was surprised at my courage when I killed Hyeolcheondoma's disciple..
And now I killed the demon lord..
Ian said that everyone only talks about me when they meet. My popularity soared in an instant because everyone hated Ma-gun, who had caused many problems as if he were a nobody..
There were even warriors who came up to me and said hello..
Of course, no one directly said ‘that’s cool’ or ‘well done’. Because I was afraid of the aftereffects of Hyecheon Doma..
All he did was approach me without saying a word, embrace me and give me a respectful look. I could feel the support for me in those eyes. The people who came and greeted me like this were people who wanted me to become their successor..
I accepted their greetings one by one and headed to Cheonmajeon..
In the Heavenly Demon Hall, my father, Commander-in-Chief Sima Ming, and the Blood Heavenly Sword Demon Nine Heavenly Sect were waiting for me..
I greeted my father and Sima Ming first, and then greeted Hyeolcheon Doma..
“Long time no see, old man..”
“How have you been, Lee Gongja?.”
Compared to the seriousness of the situation of his brother's death, Hyeolcheondoma was calm..
The eccentric and unique prayer that Hyeolcheondoma showed when he visited me the other day was nowhere to be found. I would not dare to reveal such a prayer in front of my father..
“How did this happen??”
“I wrote it all down in the report.”
“I want to hear it directly from Lee Gongja..”
Even though he was in front of his father, Hyeolcheondoma was calmly saying what he wanted to say. My father and Sima Ming seemed to think that it was the right of a bloodthirsty demon, so they did not interfere and just let him do what he did..
“Through the investigation, we discovered that my younger brother committed a serious crime. In the process of arresting me, they tried to kill me... … I'm sorry to the elderly..”
“It's okay. If my younger brother is guilty, he should be punished. But what I don't understand is that even though my brother is a pathetic bastard, he is not stupid enough to attack Lee Gong-ja when his guilt is clearly revealed..”
It is assumed that after being captured obediently, he asked his older brother for help..
I prevented that situation in advance..
“I don't even know why he did that. Maybe he couldn't accept being caught by me as a child..”
Hyeolcheondoma stared at me for a moment and then opened his mouth again..
“I saw the body before coming here. I stabbed him with one blow.?”
“yes.”
I didn't go into detail about the fight. Prolonged speech in an unfavorable situation can lead to mistakes or loopholes, so for now, it is best to leave it to Thomas's imagination..
He couldn't ask any questions about the fight here with his father watching. Whether he was stabbed in the back or stabbed in the soles of his feet, the belief that the dead person was an idiot and an idiot was at the core of our school's magic..
“Lee Gongja's martial arts skills were much more outstanding than I thought..”
“I guess I benefited from my father. Even though I was excited, the Demon Lord couldn't have given me his all..”
“I guess so.”
Hyeolcheondoma expressed his gratitude to me with a gentle smile..
“Thank you for being honest. Thanks to you, I feel at ease.”
“you're welcome.”
His anger must have reached its peak as his disciple died and his younger brother also died. We literally became enemies of Cheolcheonji, but Hyeolcheondoma did not show even the slightest anger. It was a moment where I realized how well he can control his emotions..
Before leaving Cheonmajeon, Hyeolcheondoma looked at his father..
When he first came to see me, he said twice that he would come to my father with my head. It meant that I was confident in my relationship with my father..
If so, shouldn’t Hyeolcheon Doma say something like this at this moment??
―Lord, can you do this to me? If you were going to catch your brother, you should have called me first and resolved it. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!
However, there was no sign of regret anywhere in Hyecheondoma’s eyes. His father's gaze towards him was also the same as usual..
“I need to prepare for the funeral, so go and rest..”
“Thank you for your consideration, teacher..”
Hyeolcheondoma bowed politely and then turned around. He didn't even glance at me as he walked down the red carpet..
When he withdrew, Sima Ming finally opened his mouth..
“Thank you for your hard work. Because the evidence gathered by Lee Gongja was solid, the case was able to be concluded without any problems. Are you hurt anywhere??”
“Thanks for your concern, I'm fine.”
Sima Ming must have had a lot of questions about this unexpected result, but he didn't ask me. Since it was probably my father who entrusted me with investigating this case, I guess he ultimately thinks it is a problem between him and me..
“The leader gave a reward to a scholar who made a great contribution..”
One of the Cheonmajeon demons brought a long wooden box. I could guess how important what was inside was from the careful steps..
When I opened the lid, which was engraved with an elegant yet luxurious pattern, I found a sword inside..
I was surprised to see that it was a dark magic sword. The second most precious sword after the Heavenly Demon Sword is given..
“The religious leader gave Lee Gongja a black magic sword..”
I was so happy that I smiled brightly. I was joking for no reason out of joy that I couldn't hide..
“If you want to give it to me, you have to give me a noble white flower sword that matches my temperament..”
My father said with an expression that could not possibly be true..
“The sword that suits you is a dark magic sword..”
“You don't know your son too much. Black, do you think so too??”
I slowly pulled out the black magic sword..
The cold chill that radiated from the sword took over the hall. No internal power was injected, so the energy came purely from the sword..
I knew it the moment I pulled out the sword. That this sword is my sword, that it suits me so well..
“Isn’t this award too undeserved??”
In my humility, Sima Ming spoke for my father..
“It's not excessive. The demon lord problem was the most difficult problem in our school..”
“So you passed that trouble on to me..”
“I didn't know that Master Lee would handle it so neatly..”
Sima Ming once again expressed his admiration and asked his father:.
“Did the leader expect this to happen??”
My father shook his head..
“I felt lucky if I didn't die from fussing..”
I know it isn't so..
He probably sent it because he trusted me. He knew that he had achieved great success in the Bicheon Sword Technique, and since he had taken it from Socheon-dong to Ma Jeong-dan, he must have believed that he would not be easily defeated. Of course, the outcome of the demon lord's death was unexpected..
And I also know why my father put down his sword. This is what I say to Hyeolcheon Doma..
―I take the credit, so at least don't mess with my son for this one..
It's like a silent warning. There is no way the quick-witted Hyeolcheondoma would not be able to understand that meaning..
“thank you father.”
After holding up my sword and properly expressing my gratitude, I left Cheonmajeon..
On my way back home, someone called me..
“Lee Gong-ja, the sun is nice, so let’s take a break..”
Hyeolcheon Doma was sitting in the vacant lot in front of the flower garden..
Yeah, there's no way this old man is just going to go..
I walked slowly and sat down in front of him. His eyes focused on the black magic sword strapped to my waist. I felt him clenching his molars. The resentment may be deep, but you won't dare do anything about me..
“It looks like it will be particularly hot this summer.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Hyeolcheondoma shouted..
“This young bastard with no blood on his head! How dare you ambush my brother and kill him? Today, I will dismember your five bodies and scatter them on my brother’s grave..”
The magical energy emitted from the Blood Heavenly Blade swept around. The flowers in the garden withered in an instant. Where was this energy hidden in that skinny body??
I tried to maintain my composure as much as possible while increasing my strength to fight against the demonic energy..
The next moment, the demonic energy disappeared as if it were a lie, and Hyeolcheondoma grinned and said..
“I should have said this originally?”
He tried to stab me in the side again with the end of the handle of the sword..
But this time, I also shouted as I gently blocked the digging handle with my palm..
“You're a fucking old man who has lived his age like an asshole! How dare you destroy the discipline of our school and serve your own self-interest? If you come forward for the sake of your corrupt younger brother, I will break your skinny body like a tree.!”
I also added with a grin.
“If that were the case, I would have said this too.?”
Hyeolcheondoma, who was dumbfounded for a moment, burst out laughing..
“Hahahaha!”
His laughter was so loud that the demons standing guard in the distance looked in this direction..
Then, Hyeolcheondoma suddenly stopped laughing. His face was blunt as if he had never smiled, and his emotions were constantly changing..
“Still, shouldn’t you have looked at my face??”
“In most cases, it would have been handled well. I tried to end it by resigning from my position. But even though I crossed the line, I went way too far. No, there was no line at all..”
Hyeolcheondoma nodded. It was my brother's business, how could I not have known about it? I am not someone who is not interested in school politics..
“Demon, you knew about my infidelity.?”
“I knew it.”
“why did you leave it alone?”
“You didn't listen to me. Well, it turns out I’m not a very clean person either..”
I was surprised that Hyeolcheondoma spoke honestly about his relationship with his younger brother..
‘In times like this, you need to be careful..’
Hyeolcheondoma is clearly an emotional person. And he knows how to use those emotions..
“When I heard the news that my brother had died, I was honestly relieved. Now that guy won't block my path..”
“I understand that feeling..”
When Hyeolcheondoma opened his small, torn eyes wide, he said, ‘Really? I felt like I was asking 'How did you do it?'.
“It would be like hearing the news that my brother died. I'll be relieved to know that I don't have to do it myself..”
His and my gaze became intertwined in the air. I saw the fire in his eyes again..
What is in my eyes that he sees? what are you seeing in me?
I couldn't tell what Hyeolcheon Doma was thinking..
Regardless of the relief he expressed, he may be plotting to kill me since he is the enemy who killed my brother. Or the past may have been carried away by the clouds and sent away..
i have no regrets.
If I don't survive the fight with you Palmazons, and if I'm only that good, I'll probably die from fire weapons anyway. I have to step on you lightly and move on. That's how you live.
Hyeolcheondoma looked up at the sky and finally received the greeting I first gave him..
“Yeah, it's going to be hot this year..”
Hyeolcheon Doma said it was already hot and gently fanned himself with the big blade of Myeolcheon Daedo..
One thing was certain. The reason we're getting hot this summer isn't just because of the sun..
I shaded my forehead with my hand and looked up at the sky together..
“Fortunately, I don't get hot..”
