Chapter 365
Absolute Regression Episode 365
Episode 365 Just thinking about it makes me angry..
Baek Ja-gang couldn't believe it..
‘The demonic cult leader of the time really had such thoughts.?’
He said he sincerely considers Bisain a friend, sincerely does not want to fight with each other, and sincerely wants to buy him drinks.?
What is that sword dance that is rumored to be the best of all Cheonma's successors? That Little Lord who deceived even Lord Xiao and Yilang.?
Hyuk Sa-gun was the first to read the disbelief in Baek Ja-gang’s eyes..
‘Done!’
He misunderstood and interpreted this disbelief like this:.
How can you believe what the devil or the poison king says??
‘Refuse! Go ahead and say no.!’
Hyuksa- gun was inwardly anxious. If not just one of the Poison King and the Demon Doctor but two of them come together and investigate, it will definitely be revealed that they used poison..
‘There's nothing I can do about it then. Refuse it for your own sake..’
Meanwhile, the sword dance also read the disbelief in Baek Ja-gang's eyes. Of course, Geommugeuk did not know about Baekjagang’s ability to detect lies. That's why I tried my best to persuade Baek Ja-gang..
―It's a lie meant to push them into a corner. Please trust me this time. Please pretend to accept the devil and the poison king..
Even without sending a message of confession like this, Baek Ja-gang now believed in sword dance. 'Cause I know for sure who's telling the truth.
Finally, Baek Ja-gang opened his mouth. Of course, since Hyuksagun was present, he did not allow it..
“What will you do if two people come and check and it turns out that you are not addicted??”
Geommugeuk could tell that Baek Ja-gang was trying to grant his request. These were people who weren't going to come anyway, and what's needed now is to set conditions that even Hyuksagun can understand..
“We will reduce our school’s power in the Gangseo region by half..”
The Gangseo area was a key point for the Heavenly Demon Church to deal with the Apostolic Alliance..
“Can you write it down as an official document??”
“there is.”
Baek Ja-gang felt goosebumps forming in his ears again. My senses were working so well.
As if to prove it, the sound of a sword dance followed..
―I can't do this. If you do that without my father’s permission, you will be kicked out that day! Wouldn't it be nice if you could adopt me?.
Baek Ja-gang had a hard time holding back the corners of his mouth from rising. Anyway, this guy is hard to stop. Such a joke at such a critical moment..
“Good. Then I'll check when you two arrive..”
Hyuksa-gun expressed his dissatisfaction with the unexpected decision..
“Are you sure you believe what So Ji-ju says now??”
Baek Ja-gang stared at Hyuk-sa-gun with small eyes. At that moment, Hyuksagun realized that he had acted rashly. Anyway, if what he said was true, there was no reason to get excited..
If Geommugeuk had set such conditions, it would have been a situation where the military should have welcomed this decision. Reducing the power of the Heavenly Demon Church in the Gangseo region by half would bring great benefits to the Apostolic Alliance..
“I will follow the Lord’s will..”
Baekjagang asked Geommugeuk.
“when do they arrive?”
“It will take ten days..”
I deliberately took as long as possible. It was with the hope that Bisain would recover from his injuries as much as possible and participate in this fight. This wasn't his fight, it was Bisain's fight, and it was also the fight between Baek Ja-gang and Sa Do-maeng..
“Okay, you'll stay there until then..”
Geommugeuk looked at Hyuksagun with suspicious eyes..
“In the meantime, the deputy general may kill the general and destroy the evidence..”
The sword dance hit the nail on the head. Because Hyuksagun was really thinking about how to get rid of Chonggunsa to avoid suspicion..
“What nonsense are you talking about? The Commander-in-Chief is like a teacher to me..”
“therefore. Why did you do that to someone like your teacher??”
Hyuksagun glared at Geomugeuk with cold eyes..
Even those smart soldiers could handle them with ease, but the much younger Sword Dancers were strangely rough and difficult to deal with..
I was pressured by my position as the leader of a demonic religion.?
no. There was something about this person that made him feel uncomfortable. He is the type of person who would not find it easy to place an order even if you meet him at his guesthouse..
Baek Ja-gang ended the tense fight in which everyone glared at each other..
“Stay near Meng until the Poison King and Demon King arrive..”
“Thank you, Maengju..”
Hyuksagun felt that the situation was changing. Now a new phase has begun.
“I'll leave it here for today. Soldier Hyuk, stay for a moment..”
Send out the sword dance and leave behind Hyuksagun? It seemed as if he believed in Hyuksagun, but it was the opposite. Now is the time to reassure and comfort the enemy..
“Thanks to the young guy's bravery, we were able to make a big profit..”
The term used to refer to sword dance became ‘nom’ rather than ‘sogyoju’..
In other words, it was not a sword dance performance, but rather a demonstration of belief in oneself..
‘If that were the case, I shouldn't have accepted the Poison King and the Demon King..’
Hyuksagun expressed his frustration as if he were worried about the Apostolic Alliance..
“I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have accepted it. In particular, the Poison King is the most dangerous person in this martial forest. There is no way to know what he will do once he enters the main organization and then return. More than anything, I am worried about my master’s safety..”
I tried to change my mind even now, out of concern for the leader..
However, it was a futile effort on his part as he had no way of knowing how Baek Ja-gang was feeling right now..
“When they come, keep a close watch on them..”
If they had really said they were coming, they wouldn't have even allowed Baekjagang to come. Introducing a poisonous king into the Apostolic League? This can never happen. After that day, you will feel uncomfortable even when you drink a glass of water..
That was something Hyuksa-gun could also think about. That's why Baek Ja-gang hit the player..
“But why is Sogyoju so stubborn??”
A sharp look was cast at Hyuksa-gun..
It really wasn't your plan.?
Because I was originally such a suspicious person. If you blindly believe in Hyuk Sa-gun, you will feel uncomfortable. It was a doubt that prevented doubt..
“Looks like they're trying to buy time.”
“for what?”
“I'll find out.”
No matter how smart Hyuksagun was, he couldn't deal with Baekjagang, who had gone through many hardships. Baek Ja-gang shook Hyuk-sa-gun frantically to prevent him from thinking about anything else..
This time, he showed off his cold morale and showed his anger towards the sword dance..
“Calling the devil and the poison king to check is truly a cheeky move. Isn’t this a statement that ignores the faith of the original member??”
“You are right. Moreover, even if a promise is made in writing about the Gangseo region, the promise may not be kept..”
In order to somehow change his mind, Hyuksa-gun pointed out new problems, but it was not easy..
“You are full of pride. Even if it's because of my pride, I will keep my promise no matter what. Geomwoojin, that guy must be burning hot in his head..”
Hyuksagun suppressed the urge to sigh..
If the Poison King and Demon Doctor came and found out that Chonggun was sick due to poisoning, he would be finished. Because he was the one who received poison from Hwang Seok-kyung and poisoned it..
There have been many things that have hindered his progress so far. Blocking the front, trying to trip. Each time, I got through it with Hwang Seok-kyung’s help..
But this time was different. The scale of the disruption is catastrophic. Because it was bigger than all the bad things that had happened so far combined..
“Then I'll just leave..”
I greeted him politely and turned around to leave, but Baek Ja-gang spoke from behind me..
“Take note. Is it okay for us to be fooled by that young guy??”
“Don't worry, Lord.”
Hyuksagun bowed his head with a confident expression and then turned around again..
‘Now the leader is going to die because of that young guy..’
* * *
That night, Hyuksagun appeared at the place where he had previously met Tuwang..
I saw Hwang Seok-gyeong in the field far away..
Today again, he came first and was waiting for me. Hwang Seok-kyung is never late. When I saw him, I felt like the tightness I felt while watching the sword dance today was relieved..
I finally found out. Earlier, that feeling of discomfort was an instinctive signal that someone's help was needed. You have to be Hwang Seok-kyung to be able to give the order you want to Jeomsoi..
Hyuksa-gun cut off all the back and forth and started with the main point..
“So Jyoju called Ma Yi and King Poison..”
Tuwang’s expression hardened. He immediately realized why they were coming..
“It's because of the total military..”
“you're right. Sogyoju is not an ordinary person..”
King Tu first asked Hyuksagun for his opinion. Even when making decisions, he always asked the military first..
“What would you like me to do??”
By the time he came here, Hyuksagun had already prepared his mind..
“Is there a way to keep the Poison King and the Demon Doctor from coming??”
Tuwang thought for a moment and then shook his head..
Not only could it not be possible to kill Magon and Demon Doctor carelessly, but even if it were necessary, it would not be easy if the opponent was the Poison King. If you can't kill it with one hit, this is annihilation. That was the poison king.
“Then there is only one way. Although it took longer than planned, didn't we prepare a lot for this moment??”
This decision would change his and Hwang Seok-kyung’s fate. It will change the fate of its subordinates, the fate of the Sadomaeng, and by extension, Sapa Murim, and the fate of the entire martial arts world..
Hyuksagun asked with solemn eyes..
“Are you ready?”
Compared to the majestic Hyuksagun, Tuwang looked comfortable. I lived my life thinking of it as a fight. I was able to answer at any time because I lived with the mindset that I would die every moment if I lost..
Under the bright moonlight, Tuwang answered as if he had been waiting..
“I'm always ready.”
* * *
At the same time, a meeting was taking place in another place as well..
Geommugeuk was standing in the field where he met the Apostle Lord earlier..
Baekja River entered there..
“I knew you would come here. First, let me say I'm sorry..”
“It's okay that you lied to me.”
“No, that's not it. Because of my lies, the leader has become dangerous. They probably think that if Demon Medicine and the Poison King investigate together, they will definitely find out the truth about the poisoning. In the end, I'll try to get this over with before the two of you arrive..”
“How do you end it??”
“I won't just run away.”
Words that shouldn't have come out of Geommugeuk's mouth came out..
“They will try to kill you, Lord..”
Baek Ja-gang did not show any reaction even when he was told that he would kill him..
“And they will blame me for that crime. They will never miss that opportunity.”
Geommugeuk continued speaking in a calm tone..
“Originally, it would have happened a few years later, or about ten years later. But when my student and I became friends, times changed..”
Originally, it should have been said, ‘When I appeared.’ However, he said that the sword dance performance started when he became friends with Bisain. I tried to show off my friendship whenever I had the chance..
My father alone is enough to dream of unifying Moorim. Just stopping my father was difficult enough..
“You're out of this fight.”
Of course, since it is the work of the Sado Alliance, it is only right to follow the will of the leader..
But I couldn't do that because I knew the opponent was a fighting king..
If we fight one-on-one now, I think the Apostle Lord will beat Tuwang..
The problem was that Tuwang would do whatever it took to win. King Tu was a person obsessed with victory, but he did not pursue fairness and fairness..
“Are you worried about me??”
“If you get hurt, it won't disgrace your father..”
“That won't happen. I have learned light attack properly, so I am confident in my ability to run away..”
Baek Ja-gang thought that there must be a reason why Geommugeuk wanted to get involved in this fight..
“Why are you trying to get involved in this fight??”
Geommugeuk answered honestly..
“It's because of Somaengju. You'll want to be more involved in this fight than I am. Since your injury isn't fully healed, I'll watch over you..”
Goosebumps did not appear in Baekjagang’s ears..
Suddenly I remembered.
The Demon Cult leader and the Sado leader are friends of the martial arts group..
But not a single scene came to mind. Because to him, such martial arts did not exist..
At that time, I remembered what Geomugeuk said..
―Whether it is my master or the apostle of the Little Lord, I believe that there must be a new ideal in our time..
“Again, that friendship won't work.”
Then Geommugeuk said something surprising..
“I am a person who believes in the friendship between Lord Maeng and my father..”
“what? with your father?”
I feel embarrassed at times like this. Those eyes that spoke of the friendship between the Heavenly Demon and the Apostle Lord were not those of a naive dreamer. Because that smart asshole is speaking from the heart..
“You haven't spoken properly with your father, have you? I think you two will get along well..”
“Trying to figure out how to kill each other?”
Baek Ja-gang feels that the more he encounters sword dance dramas, the more his liking for them deepens. For some reason, I felt a sense of kinship, and I was curious about what this guy would say..
And above all, it was fun to be together. Isn't it a story about the friendship between the Heavenly Demon and the Apostle Lord, which no warrior in the world would have thought of even now??
‘If this guy's father?’
perhaps? I thought, but then shook my head. Just thinking about the look in Geom Woojin's eyes that was looking at him in a laughable way makes me angry, but what is my friend doing?!
“Please let us fight together with the small lord.!”
“Make it good.”
This was a permission that would never have been possible if it had been Baek Ja-gang. Because I wasn't the type to involve anyone in handling the affairs of the Sadomaeng..
But this time, I decided to acknowledge their friendship..
“A friendship that will soon be broken, enjoy it now.”
“thank you.”
Baek Ja-gang's journey to becoming the leader of the Apostles was not smooth..
To prevent his heart from weakening, he did not even have a family. At the time, I believed that was right, but now that I'm older, there are times when I think of a different life..
I feel that way especially as I look at Geom Woo-jin's son this time..
‘Saine, you're going to have to suffer a bit from now on..’
You can't lose to Geom Woo-jin's son, right??
Geommugeuk and Baekjagang also looked up at the moon that Tuwang and Hyuksagun were looking at..
“When this is over, can I ask you a favor??”
“what request?”
“I'll tell you when it's over.”
Who in Baek Ja-gang's life would have dared to say conditions later? Because of that, this moment was still fresh, and because of that, I was able to nod my head with curiosity instead of frustration..
“They're going to give it all they've got..”
“If you want to deal with me…….”
Baek Ja-gang said, his small eyes filled with bright moonlight..
“I should have saved up a lot..”
