Episode 251.
Dow Shin Sayama’s words asking for help.
“help?”
Baek Seon-pyeong asked back without realizing it.
That’s understandable, because I couldn’t understand it.
Help meant asking for help in something you couldn’t handle on your own.
So what Dow Shin Sayama means when he asks for help is this.
It was no different from saying that there was something that Dow Shin Sayama could not handle.
“What does that mean?”
But that didn’t make sense.
Dow Shin Sayama was Baek Seon-pyeong’s colleague.
In the past, 13 heroes beheaded the Demon King.
To put it simply, he was a strong man of a similar level to Baek Seon-pyeong.
That’s why it couldn’t exist.
What if it was an event like the great invasion of the demon world in the past that pushed humanity to the brink of destruction?
There was nothing that Dow Shin Sayama couldn’t handle.
Could it be that something like the Demon World Invasion is happening?
“I am not the same as I used to be.”
The words of Dow Shin Sayama were heard for a moment.
Dow Shin Sayama continued speaking as if answering Baek Seon-pyeong’s thoughts.
“I have lost a lot of energy.”
Baek Seon-pyeong narrowed his eyes and examined Dow Shin Sayama’s condition.
And soon we were able to check on the weakened condition of Dow Shin Sayama.
Even if it rots, it’s still a good tooth.
Although it was weakened, it was not something that could be ignored.
But compared to the powerful aura of the past, it was just a drop in the bucket.
“I guess it’s time for you to die too.”
“If there is life, there must be death. It is the will of heaven and earth that people live and die. Being born as a human and dying once is truly not a regret.”
“Even before he died, he still spoke like a shaman.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to sound like a shaman rather than a hermit?”
The two looked at each other and smiled slightly.
“So. Did you come to me because you wanted to go against the death that the gods of heaven and earth had decreed?”
“How can one refuse the command of the gods of heaven and earth? That is absolutely not the case.”
“Then why did you come to me?”
“I am not afraid of my own death, but I am worried about those who remain in this world, so I have come to you.”
Baek Seon-pyeong frowned at Dow Shin Sayama’s words.
“One time is enough to hear the shaman’s words.”
Baek Seon-pyeong spat out his words as if rebuking someone.
Dow Shin Sayama opened his mouth, completely losing his playfulness.
“Seonpyeong. Do you remember what Rudorea said?”
“The Demon King we defeated was neither the strongest nor the last. Is that what you’re saying?”
“That’s right.”
Dow Shin Sayama nodded slightly.
“That’s just Rudorea’s nonsense─”
“That’s not nonsense.”
Dow Shin Sayama cut off Baek Seon-pyeong’s words.
And then the words of Dow Shin Sayama followed.
“Seonpyeong, don’t you know now?”
Baek Seon-pyeong kept his mouth shut for a moment.
A moment of silence.
“Are you talking about the disaster in Seoul?”
Baek Seon-pyeong opened his mouth again.
Dow Shin Sayama nodded his head.
“I heard that you fought against Saduz… no, the Red Shadow there.”
“That’s right.”
“What was he like?”
Baek Seon-pyeong was silent for a moment.
A moment of silence.
“It was a red shadow. It wasn’t the Saduz you and I knew.”
Baek Seon-pyeong slowly opened his mouth.
Dow Shin Sayama didn’t say anything special.
Baek Seon-pyeong also didn’t say anything special.
This time, a long silence followed.
How much time has passed like that?
“Why did you suddenly bring that up?”
Baek Seon-pyeong broke the silence and opened his mouth.
“Weren’t you the one who dismissed Rudorea’s words as nonsense more than anyone else?”
“It was so.”
“So what you mean is, it wasn’t like that anymore?”
Dow Shin Sayama nodded slightly.
“What is the reason?”
Baek Seon-pyeong asked.
Dow Shin Sayama did not give an easy answer.
Baek Seon-pyeong did not urge Sayama to do that.
How much time has passed like that?
“A similar phenomenon to the disaster in Seoul is occurring in Myanmar.”
The closed mouth of Dow Shin Sayama opened.
At the same time, Baek Seon-pyeong’s eyes opened wide.
Aged eyes that bear the weight of time.
“…what?”
An uncommon sense of surprise permeated it.
“What does that mean? A similar phenomenon to the disaster in Seoul is happening in Myanmar.”
“I’m not sure, but the situation in Myanmar is serious.”
Meanwhile, Dau Shin Sayama briefly explained the current situation in Myanmar.
And there were glimpses of similar aspects to the disaster in Seoul.
But it was completely different from the disaster in Seoul.
These were things that could definitely not be called a ‘similar phenomenon’.
That is why Baek Seon-pyeong could not agree with what Dow Shin Sayama said.
It could never be called a disaster for Seoul.
But one thing.
“I couldn’t handle it on my own.”
Something that even the power of Dow Shin Sayama couldn’t handle.
That alone was enough to acknowledge that it was a serious problem, comparable to the disaster in Seoul.
“Of course I am sick. But….”
“Your spirits are not sick.”
Baek Seon-pyeong nodded his head and said.
As the saying goes, Dow Shin Sayama was sick and weak.
But the spirits she dealt with were not like that.
“So that’s why you came to me.”
“Seonpyeong, can you help people?”
Dow Shin Sayama asked.
“It’s impossible.”
Baek Seon-pyeong shook his head firmly.
A truly harsh answer.
But Dow Shin Sayama did not ask why.
Because I already knew why.
“That’s why you were surprised when you saw me.”
Baek Seon-pyeong, who has exhausted all his strength.
Baek Seon-pyeong no longer had the powerful aura he once had.
The current Baek Seon-pyeong was not a sword immortal, but just an ordinary old man.
“As you can see, I can’t help you.”
“… … .”
Dow Shin Sayama was unable to say anything.
There was nothing I could do about it.
The current situation in Myanmar is such that it would require at least 13 heroes.
That is why it was true that I had high hopes for Baek Seon-pyeong breaking the world’s hold on me.
But if I lost all my strength, there was really nothing I could do.
“Still, Seonpyeong, I’m glad I got to see you before I die. The gods of heaven and earth have blessed me.”
Dow Shin Sayama tried to force a bright smile.
At that very moment.
“But there is someone who can help you in my place.”
Baek Seon-pyeong’s words were heard again.
And Dow Shin Sayama could not understand the meaning of those words.
That would be the case, since he is the one who will replace Baek Seon-pyeong.
There is no way such a being could exist.
“Are you talking about preemptive strike?”
Baek Seon-je, son of Baek Seon-pyeong.
Baek Seon-je, whom I saw after a long time, had grown up.
Indeed, he was of Baek Seon-pyeong’s bloodline, and his skills were also considerable.
“I’m sorry to say this, but this is not a preemptive strike.”
But it was impossible.
It was not even close to the level of Baekseonje.
As the saying goes, it was only possible if you had at least 13 heroes.
But Baek Seon-je was sorely lacking compared to that.
and.
“I’m not talking about preemption.”
Baek Seon-pyeong was also not unaware of that fact.
“Seonje, he still has a lot to learn. He’s not ready to be exposed to the world yet.”
Baek Seon-je then clicked his tongue once.
But honestly, it wasn’t that bad.
The White House is not enough to resolve the situation in Myanmar.
Objectively speaking, Baek Seon-je was a powerhouse competing for world power.
But is he always a child in his father’s eyes?
Or is it that it doesn’t catch Baek Seon-pyeong’s eye?
“Recently, he asked me what it would be like to have a daughter-in-law. Tsk. If he can’t even take care of himself properly, how can he have a daughter-in-law?”
Baek Seon-pyeong muttered with a displeased expression.
But behind Baek Seon-pyeong’s displeased expression.
I could also see a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
anyway.
The person Baek Seon-pyeong was talking about was not Baek Seon-je.
“Then who…?”
“That’s the guy I was talking about earlier.”
Dow Shin Sayama tilted his head.
If Baek Seon-pyeong is the guy I was talking about earlier… .
“Some blind bastard dragged me out of the world.”
Baek Seon-pyeong’s words were heard again.
* * *
A detached tile-roofed house.
Dow Shin Sayama sat on the floor in a daze.
The quiet countryside was alive with the spirits of nature.
The wind spirits were embracing the chirping sounds of birds and transmitting them here and there.
A scenery that brings a warm smile to your face just by looking at it.
However, Dow Shin Sayama just had a blank expression on his face.
There is only one reason.
No, it was one entity.
“I am Maeng Si-woo… .”
The one who said that Baek Seon-pyeong was the only one who could help on his behalf.
Furthermore, Baek Seon-pyeong said that he could surpass himself.
“… … .”
Dow Shin Sayama couldn’t believe it.
Of course, I heard about what Siwoo did.
The person responsible for resolving Seoul’s disaster.
The world’s first S+-class hunter.
Above all, it was a fight against the red shadow.
This was definitely not ordinary.
Even Dow Shin Sayama acknowledged that.
That’s why I could understand what Baek Seon-pyeong said.
“… … .”
But I still couldn’t believe it.
It could be seen as strange to believe.
Not only is this person named Maeng Si-woo one of the 13 heroes, but he is also someone who surpasses them?
It didn’t make sense.
It would have been more correct to say that Baek Seon-pyeong was senile.
It is much more reasonable to assume that Baek Seon-pyeong’s perspective also became lower as he exhausted all his strength.
Moreover, this man named Maeng Si-woo was the man I saw earlier.
A man with a fierce aura standing next to Baek Seon-je.
That’s why I could confirm it.
What Dow Shin Sayama saw was that there was nothing.
Nothingness.
Siwoo’s soul was dry and lacking any special features.
“Is it hard to believe?”
The voice heard at that moment.
When I looked there, I saw Baek Seon-je, the son of Baek Seon-pyeong, approaching Dow Shin Sayama.
“… To be honest, that’s true.”
Dow Shin Sayama did not lie.
Because there was no reason to lie.
“Of course. I couldn’t believe it either.”
Baek Seon-je also nodded as if he understood.
After a while, Baek Seon-je sneakily handed it over to Dow Shin Sayama.
Something square.
“Isn’t this a smartphone?”
Smartphone.
It is an object that is very familiar to modern people, but it was a difficult object for Dow Shin Sayama.
“There is a YouTube channel run by Hunter Maeng Si-woo. If you watch the videos, you will understand what my father is saying to some extent.”
YouToobe.
It was a word as familiar to modern people as smartphones.
But, as expected, for Dow Shin Sayama, it was a word as difficult as smartphone.
“I will find it for you.”
Fortunately, Baek Seon-je showed it by manipulating his smartphone.
And the will of the indigenous spirits was also made understandable through writing.
『
A craftsman.
It was a channel that meant a man who conquered everything in the world.
Dow Shin Sayama could understand the meaning of the letters that appeared on the screen.
But one thing.
“Dungeon training…?”
At first, I couldn’t understand what this meant.
The native spirits were also sending out messages like, ‘What the heck are you talking about?’
“Uh… well.”
Baek Seon-je also seemed unaware of this meaning.
Well then, there is only one way.
I had no choice but to face the truth directly.
Dow Shin Sayama played the video as if possessed.
And Dow Shin Sayama was finally able to realize it.
“What color are you…?”
I could now understand why Baek Seon-pyeong was called a bastard!
The answer was in the video playing on the screen right now.
So that color in the video… .
No, that bastard.
[one two three four!]
That bastard was exercising using an ore golem as exercise equipment!
Dungeon training.
I thought it meant training in a dungeon.
Just like home training.
Well, the ore golem wasn’t a very high-level monster.
[Oh? The golem is broken. Well, it doesn’t matter.]
But that doesn’t mean it’s any good as exercise equipment!
Soon, Siwoo turned his gaze in the video.
The camera followed his gaze and soon revealed a scene where dozens of ore golems were gathered together.
[Because there is still a lot of exercise equipment.]
And then I heard Siwoo’s voice.
With those words, in the video, Siwoo strides towards the ore golem.
Then, little by little.
The golems were running away, backing away?
“What, what?!”
Dow Shin Sayama looked startled and surprised.
No, the monster ran away?
Moreover, it wasn’t like he just ran away.
[Ugh, ugh…!]
I was running away in fear, terrified.
But do monsters feel fear…?
“What is this…?”
Dow Shin Sayama couldn’t understand the video at all.
How can a monster feel fear?
For Dau Shin Sayama, who had experienced the great invasion of the Demon World, this was no different from an event that turned the world upside down.
It was no different from something suddenly running between Dow Shin Sayami’s legs right now.
It was like turning one’s sexual identity upside down when the time came to die.
It was a cheap metaphor, but it was equally absurd and shocking.
Absolutely not, under any circumstances.
It was impossible for a monster to feel fear.
But now.
[Ugh, ugh…!]
[Where are you running away to!]
really.
“What color are you…?”
Dow Shin Sayama has given up on thinking.
No, only one thought came to mind.
‘Believe it or not, it’s up to you. But I can assure you that the only person who can help you in this situation is that bastard.’
Only Baek Seon-pyeong’s boastful words lingered in my head.
And really… .
I really don’t know why though.
[This is the pure love story that follows the pure love story!]
It was Dow Shin Sayama who understood Baek Seon-pyeong’s words to some extent.
[Become my muscle!]
“… … .”
Not much, just a little.
