105 – There is a teacher. (3)

There is a teacher (3)

The oblique moon was a purple light.

The starlight hovering around was the same as the primary color, but that ominous moon seemed to swallow everything.

shiver-

Only the sound of dripping water echoes in the thick darkness.

widely-!

At the same time as the sound of a teacup falling, a voice came from beyond the darkness.

[You’re late.]

I’m sure I wouldn’t have been betting on my voice, but my heart tightened at that light question.

The shining purple eyes were still creepy no matter how much time passed.

[…] Meet the sky of our school.]

The man stepped in front of him and knelt on one knee. There was no hesitation.

Because I didn’t know enough to raise my head in front of that absurd existence.

Heavenly Demon.

The owner of ten thousand was in front of the man. The Heavenly Demon quietly looks down at the man and whispers.

[I heard the news. After the demonic sword died.]

The man’s back trembled at the sudden name.

[Do you resent it?]

At the Heavenly Demon’s question, the man had doubts.

Who is the resentment he is talking about, myself? Or Jegal Hyuk?

If that’s not the case, am I asking if I dare to resent the Heavenly Demon? In the end, the man did not give any answer to the Heavenly Demon’s question.

ぅぅ… .

Perhaps sensing something in the man’s reaction, the Heavenly Demon laughed under her breath.

[You’re not denying anything.]

Degur.

A small cup rolled forward. The man carefully picked up the glass.

[Listen.]

The man raised his cup at the command of the Heavenly Demon. Squeeze, the glass is filled to the brim with alcohol.

He lifted a glass full of alcohol and raised his head. The black uniform the Heavenly Demon is wearing catches my eye.

The Heavenly Demon’s uniform was clean.

I swallow dry saliva on my own in the black uniform that is not stained with dust.

The body without a single wound is also the same.

The Heavenly Son died, and the Heavenly Demon also died today at the hands of the Heavenly Demon.

I heard that he took a joint venture with the Murim Meng as well as the Geomson. There were no wounds on the Heavenly Demon’s body.

Just looking at the results, it was.

Pajon died from having his heart pulled out, and Geomjon survived, but his body is not in good condition.

Even though the two of the Three Lords of the World, who were looking down on the world, worked together, they could not brush a single hem of the Heavenly Demon’s clothes.

If the Cheonjon didn’t die and all the triads worked together, would there have been a different outcome?

It was something I wasn’t sure about.

[The promise was kept. Swordsman, you saved that old monster twice, so this should be enough.]

[…]

[This means that I have shown this much generosity to Dae-ju.]

[…] Thank you.]

Does that mean that we should not put meaning into the death of the demon swordsman?

I drank the wine the Heavenly Demon poured out for me. No matter how bitter he drank, his body was now devoid of inspiration, but the alcohol he drank was bitter.

[Chun Yu-rang, he seemed to think that the principal would entrust the small swordsman to the great lord. What is the great lord’s opinion?]

[…]

[You can’t see his face, but you can clearly see it.]

Wi Seol-ah’s nickname was put into the mouth of the Heavenly Demon. It felt like a sigh would escape from the thick melody that ran down my back.

Squeak.

The Heavenly Demon refills the empty wine glass. The man gulped down his drink in the same way as before.

[Don’t spit out any more naughty words, I haven’t forgotten the pact.]

As the Heavenly Demon finishes speaking, countless cracks appear behind him.

Jijijijik-! Geuggeuggeuk-!

Creepy noises were a natural companion. The crack of purple light gradually grows in size.

Multiple rifts opened at the same time ate each other and quickly merged into one rift.

the man knew That these disparate scenes were all caused by the hands of the Heavenly Demon.

Churrr… Grr… !

A beast’s cry is heard through the rift. They felt the Heavenly Demon and expressed fear, but did not hide their resentment toward the world.

Feeling the deep wilderness, the Heavenly Horse continues to talk nonchalantly.

[Do you know that I have a lot of expectations for the Lord?]

[Yes.]

[He asked for the girl’s life, so he granted it, and because he wanted strength, he gave it strength.]

-Kreur!

Soon, huge beasts appeared from beyond the rift one by one.

The energy they radiated was wide and terrifying enough to resonate around them.

[It is also an example of this that he did not blame the arbitrariness he did with Sichuan. Why do you think I would have done that?]

Water no longer flows from the bottle that used to pour wine into the glass.

The wine bottle held by the Heavenly Demon is scattered in an instant and blown away by the wind.

[As I said, I will not touch the small sword castle yet according to the oath I made with Daeju. but.]

The Heavenly Demon’s purple gaze strikes the man down.

[Remember that if there is a little bit, it will be the last time.]

[…] Thank you for your deep generosity.]

After speaking, the Heavenly Demon stood up. I could see the black apparel fluttering in the demonic air unconsciously.

As she approached the polishing mirror with her own hand, the Heavenly Demon pulled the ring from her hand and threw it at the man.

The man picked up the ring thrown by the Heavenly Demon and grabbed it. As soon as I caught it, my head was about to ring with the thick magi that I felt in the ring.

[Name. Bring the Lord’s Head.]

The man did not respond to the Heavenly Demon’s command, but simply put the ring on his finger.

that’s the answer

The Heavenly Demon confirms this and steps into the crack.

[The period is three days. That should be enough.]

The Demonic Spirits follow the Heavenly Demon into the rift again, and soon after, the rift closes and disappears.

The Heavenly Demon disappeared, but the man was unable to raise his lowered head.

I had no idea what emotions I was feeling right now.

He didn’t know if what was seething inside was anger at himself or resentment towards someone.

The man thought himself miserable, but he knew he couldn’t blame anyone.

Because everything was the end of the karma he made.

Unnecessary emotions were quickly washed away.

I didn’t deserve to blame myself, and I didn’t have time to hesitate.

The man got up and walked through the black mist.

******************

Shin Noya asked what the Heavenly Demon was. I thought about the intent of the question.

I didn’t ask who you were.

I was asking ‘what’.

I don’t know how far Shinnoya could have seen my memories, but it was really uncomfortable for me.

[There were many things I couldn’t see, but among them, I couldn’t see most of the stories about the Heavenly Demon as if there was fog.]

[One, I can’t erase my doubts about whether he is a human being even by looking at the things that I have seen even in a shallow way.]

“…”

[I’ll ask again. Baby, what the hell is he?]

At Shinnoya’s words, I thought about the Heavenly Demon.

An absurd being who tried to stand alone in the sky.

A being that led all the demons, and the power of a single person except for them reached the sky.

Shin Noya knows that just because the Heavenly Demon’s power is excellent, he doesn’t doubt the existence itself.

I always had doubts about whether he was human or not.

After thinking for a while, I said to Shinnoya.

“… I don’t know the details of the Heavenly Demon.”

[what?]

Noya said it as if it were absurd, but it was true.

Not only me, but there is no information about where the Heavenly Demon came from, or how he lived until then.

It was just one day.

The Jinma Sutra, which had not appeared for centuries in the Murim League, suddenly opened.

It was a sudden situation, but many were not taken aback by this.

At that time, it was the time when the Moorim League was holding a non-radio battle against countless late indexes.

In the vicinity, not only excellent reviews, but also major figures from each family gathered to see it.

The warriors of the Murim Maeng, as well as the head of the Namgung family, were all present, except for Paeng, and most of the strong members of the Gupailbang were gathered.

Normally, it would be a catastrophic situation, but if it was like now, it wouldn’t be so dangerous, everyone thought.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, the incident of the day was the beginning of a disaster.

Contrary to what I thought that dozens of monsters would roar and appear, only one person appeared at the demon gate with leisurely steps.

Except for the white skin, black light was spinning from head to toe.

In an unexpected situation, everyone aimed their swords at an unidentified human who appeared from the demon gate.

He was just putting on a relaxed expression.

-… What are you doing?

He smiled at the lord’s question.

– Nice to meet you.

That was the beginning of the disaster.

-This is every thousand.

There was no such thing as a peaceful conversation.

After killing nearly half of the soldiers there and devastating the surroundings, the Heavenly Horse walked out to the main gate of Maeng without incident.

It was the moment when the two letters, Cheonma, were engraved all over the midfield.

Many late exponents and famous strongmen lost their lives that day.

The Heavenly Demon was instantly named as a Moorim achievement, but it was a meaningless act in front of his absurdity.

His power was fascinating in itself, and many people became enchanted by it and went under the Heavenly Demon on their own.

The Heavenly Demon did not refuse those who came.

If he wanted to become a demon, he did whatever he wanted. Although they lose their freedom in front of the golden emperor, they can fly from the arms of the Heavenly Demon, so the number of demons gradually increases.

What does the Heavenly Demon want?

For what purpose did he reveal his face to the world and what did he dream of?

So many demons were in the arms of the Heavenly Demon, but there was nothing that could be known properly.

A heavenly horse is just a thousand.

He wanted to stand on top of the sky, and he needed no reason or explanation because he was in a position to do so.

Everyone thought so. Ironically, even me.

[…] Did you mean it appeared in the crack?]

Shinnoya was speechless at my answer. Why did Noya do that, and how I went against time.

At least, I didn’t ask why he became a demon.

He may not have asked because he knew, but instead he was focusing on the part where the Heavenly Demon came out of the crack.

[…] why.]

As if lost in thought, there is silence for a while.

I was rather embarrassed because most of the questions I was prepared for were not heard.

I thought I would hear about the volcanic wave first in my previous life.

All Noya was interested in was the Heavenly Demon.

“Noya.”

[Tell me.]

“Do you know that I did something bad to the volcanic wave in my previous life?”

I was just trying to keep my mouth shut in my head, but I spoke up.

It was already a belated confession, but I couldn’t escape after coming this far.

[Know.]

Noya answered calmly. My eyes widened at the answer.

“… How can you not blame me?”

[Do you want me to blame you?]

“…”

[Even if I’m a master, it’s not that there’s no resentment left in my heart because it’s already in the past.]

Shinnoya is a hero of the previous generation who burned the flowers he spent his entire life protecting the volcano.

Even more so, as long as he was a member of the Munpai, there was no way he did not have affection for the Volcano faction.

[One, even if you resent it, that is what those who remain in modern times should do.]

Shin Noya stopped breathing once in the middle, was silent for a while, then continued talking.

[The reason why I don’t throw out my anger by blaming you is also because I didn’t see only burning plum blossoms.]

“… Noya.”

[Don’t get me wrong. not forgiven I just endure and watch.]

“…”

[So don’t hesitate. Why don’t you know better?]

I closed my eyes at Noya’s words. Because the karma to bear was too heavy.

[Son.]

“Yes… .”

[What are you going to do from now on?]

The meaning of Shin Noya’s question was very clear. Are you going to stop the Heavenly Demon? won’t you stop

The tightly closed mouth did not open easily. Seeing me hesitantly, Noya added more words.

[I know why you are so hesitant. However, I also know that I have already given the answer in my heart. Honey, speak with your mouth.]

“How are you suddenly like this?”

[I realized while examining your memories. I think you have a vague idea of why I am here on this earth.]

“What is that all of a sudden?”

[Have you already given an answer? Was it that difficult to speak out?]

Although I am a little embarrassed by Noya’s urging. There was nothing wrong with Noya’s words, so I calmed down for a while.

‘… Originally, I didn’t think like this.’

I just wanted to live a peaceful life.

Since it was an opportunity I got again, I wanted to live moderately without doing anything.

I thought that alone would change a lot. If you think about it now, you will know it from the beginning.

I also just wanted to live like I didn’t know.

Taking a deep breath, he said to Noya.

“Yes, I intend to stop the Heavenly Demon.”

Putting aside questions like whether I can stop it, how to stop it, and whether I dare to do it.

I made up my mind to do so. It was not my intention to become a hero.

The reason was that he just wanted to pick up the karma he was supposed to hear.

It was a clumsy promise and determination, but it was clearly sincere.

[Whoa… Whoa… .]

Noya gasps at my answer. What are you thinking? Although Noya feels a part of my heart.

On the contrary, I couldn’t read Noya’s thoughts, so it was really awkward.

Finally, Noya speaks.

[Yes, that was enough.]

After one monotonous word, Noya didn’t say anything to me for a while.

Just one question about the Heavenly Demon was the end.

‘Is this what it is?’

It was to the point where I wondered why I didn’t ask more.

It would be noon in a little while, and after that I was thinking of going to see Maehwaseon.

I had to finish talking about the spirit group that I was supposed to compensate for, and about the pottery in my body.

Eventually, the mountain road back to the inn.

Shinnoya was sorting out his questions alone.

An existence called the Heavenly Demon who walked out of the rift.

The incomprehensible and absurd strength and character feel somehow familiar.

[That shouldn’t be the case… .]

That’s why Shinnoya had to harbor anxiety and doubts.

The history left behind was telling.

that guy is dead

It is clear that we have prevented it, and that the disaster has ended in our hands.

[If so, why… .]

Why is he putting on the appearance of a blood demon from the being called the Heavenly Demon?

Shin Noya couldn’t erase the intense anxiety.

******************

It was not long after Gu Yangchun left.

A man in the uniform of a member of the Murimmaeng was standing in the basement of the branch.

The man was looking here and there among the corpses scattered here and there.

“Hmm… .”

I tilted my head, examining the walls and floor.

There are hardly any signs of fighting.

It didn’t look like it was hit hard.

Took-!

The man hit a dead corpse on the floor with his foot and overturned it.

Wearing a black mask and a black suit, anyone can see that he is wearing clothes that say ‘I can live’.

The body was a Raksha who had been stabbed in the heart.

‘One arm has been cut off and all tendons are severed.’

Did you cut them off so they couldn’t escape? I don’t think it would be possible to cut it off so cleanly in the middle of a fight.

Rather, it was a more reliable story to say that it was cut off after subduing it.

The fact that there are no traces of a fierce battle means that it was unilaterally suffered, and when it comes to determining the part where the arm was neatly cut off or the cause of death, the culprit was a skilled swordsman.

‘Checker… Did he even notice it at the volcano?’

There were a lot of things that I doubted about that.

It is questionable from the fact that he was able to open the device and enter in the first place.

‘I wouldn’t be able to open it without Heaven.’

It was judged that there was no way that an unmanned man like Raksha could have left the door open like an idiot.

Could there be a traitor inside the main palace? Otherwise… .

“Tsk… .”

The man roughly removed the corpse of Rachal and went towards the pool of blood.

There were no flowers that should have been growing there. It looks like it has already been pulled out.

‘I got into trouble.’

Rachal’s failure was unexpected.

I’m sure the King will think so too.

I thought there would be no problem as long as Mae Hwa Seon noticed and intervened.

‘… It’s impossible to recover the volcanic liquid.’

Even if it’s not the main thing, I heard that it’s not a small part.

Even more so, there were few traces of him who was skilled at handling things in this regard.

“As for the intervention of the Gu Family… . I have to report something to the main palace.”

The man heard the news that a boy from the Gu family killed a bloody enemy not long ago.

Could that have anything to do with this day?

I heard that the boys of the Gu family are of the martial arts class.

However, there was no such part in the traces left on the corpse I was looking at.

Then where did you get involved?

Recently, there has been talk that Hao Mun has been going in and out of various branches, and that might be it.

Thanks to you, there are more things I need to know.

Tsk-!

The man grabbed his throbbing head.

The problem was that it was always so complicated when things went wrong.

“Lord.”

Another person appears from the back of the room and talks to the man.

The man straightened his expression in an instant and looked back.

“Did you find anything?”

“I think we need to call in a separate expert to find out about the device that created the secret door.”

“Yes, write that part separately and bring it.”

“Yes… . Then what should we do here?”

“What do you do?”

“Shouldn’t we contact the volcano?”

Seeing the dead body with blood drawn here and there, Maeng’s crew frowned.

Looking at the pool of blood in the center, I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat for a while.

Enduring the nausea, the Daewon says.

“What were you trying to do?”

“Do we know what Sapa guys think? Don’t try to understand.”

“… It’s like that again.”

At Daewon’s words, the man laughed. It was around the time I started to get tired of this role.

‘To think I’d have to do bat stuff like this for at least another year.’

A bloody enemy killed by a child, that bastard also occupies a place, and he himself had to spend time cleaning up in this place.

The man said while enduring his twisted stomach.

“The same goes for the volcanic wave, and I will report separately to the upper level, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Yes… ? Oh, I see.”

“Related matters will go up through me anyway, so if you want to see something, bring it and tell me.”

“All right!”

“Yes, suffering.”

After sending the crew up, he spread his senses and touched the corpse of Rachal. It was because I had to erase any traces that might remain.

“what.”

The man felt something strange while touching the body of Raksha.

Since he had just died, there were still bets left in the body of Raksha.

Even if it’s scattered a lot, there’s definitely a bet left…

‘Isn’t there a handful of heavenly energy left?’

I don’t feel the most important thing.

The energy of the sky that can only be obtained by entering the sanctuary after receiving the approval of the palace.

The man had energy just like the Rakshasa, so he had to be able to feel it.

But, to my surprise, I didn’t feel it at all. It seems that they died not too long ago, so there was no way they had dispersed.

The danteon is also not broken, so the energy must remain.

It was incomprehensible that not even a handful could be felt.

It can’t be, but it feels like someone intentionally pulled it out.

‘… I’ll have to write one more line.’

In my head, one more line was added to the words to be uploaded to the main palace.

The man was sure that this would be the most important part.
