Login Murim Episode 922
The reason why humans are seen as special beings in a world full of countless living creatures is because they are capable of deep and broad thinking.
That’s the case with all humans.
Identify the current situation with your eyes and ears, think in your head about what action to take or what to say to the person in front of you, and combine the appropriate words.
At the same time, we predict what will happen through these current words and actions.
However, these predictions are not always correct.
When the situation around us goes in an unexpected direction, or when the person we are talking to reacts completely differently, we become confused.
My mind stops spinning and I am at a loss for words.
Just like me right now. “Yes, it was you.”
Sogyo, no, Gungseong (弓星) is chasing me
I looked at Rummy. A voice that only I could hear came out from between her lips.
– The chosen one that the God of War spoke of.
······what?
The shock that came from learning that Sogyo’s true identity was a giant called Gungseong can no longer be found anywhere.
I blinked blankly at that brief sound that felt like it was hitting the back of my head like a sledgehammer.
I thought I would at least make an excuse.
He said he didn’t know it would end up like this when he showed his anger without hiding it, and that there were unavoidable circumstances, so he thought he would bring up the story.
But no.
Musin.
And the chosen one.
At that time, when I was as frozen as a stone statue due to the combination and unknown meaning, the sound of the palace continued.
– Yeah, it might be confusing. Because I was like that too a long time ago.
It’s been a long time. When exactly are you talking about?
What did Musin, who had already disappeared in the distant past, say to her?
However, his door crossed my mind for a moment and I had to close it as soon as it started.
– It’s a long story that I’ve kept to myself. However, it would not be a wise choice to have a conversation here and now.
I felt like I wanted to ask questions right away, but the sound of the palace was enough to awaken me to the current situation that I had forgotten for a moment.
right.
The huge bloody battle that took place here today has ended, but everything is not over yet.
Just as the curtain call remains even after the performance ends.
Each actor on this blood-soaked stage had their own roles left to play.
‘Hearing the answer will come later.’
I nodded, and Gungseong, who understood the meaning of that action, quietly turned around.
He cast a passing glance at the person who had been silently watching the whole situation from the side.
“Why is that old lady still the same? No, on the contrary, after rejuvenation, my eyes became more unpleasant.”
Jeokcheongang added, muttering softly as if he was talking to himself.
“How dare you make a prank on some bloody bastard in front of Nobu?”
“Why did I think you didn’t know?”
I answered, picking off the dried blood on my cheek.
“I thought you knew. Even if you didn’t know, I would have told you first.”
“The words are Cheongsanyusu.”
“So, you overheard the whole thing?”
“Does the nickname Gungseong look like the dog next door?”
“Then let me tell you. “Everything except one tossi.”
Jeokcheongang, who was staring at me, suddenly clicked his tongue.
“done. There was no need to rush, and there was probably a good reason for that. Rather…
Especially.
A firm palm taps my shoulder. A blunt voice came from the profile of Jeokcheongang, who quickly turned his head.
“What is it, home.”
“yes?,’
“No, I mean. What Nobu wants to say is… Ugh, look at this guy, is he smiling?”
At some point, I think I started laughing without even realizing it.
However, he did not hastily erase the smile from his mouth like before.
Because I know how Jeokcheongang feels. Because my feelings contained in this smile will also be conveyed to him.
‘thanks. ‘For coming back like this.’
This is what Jeokcheon-gang told me just a little while ago, when I was on the brink of death, when I finally recovered from death and came back.
Moreover, now I have to give it back to him.
“thank you. “For always being by my side.”
I muttered in a voice barely audible and tried to look the other way.
It felt a little unfamiliar, and on the other hand, I wasn’t confident enough to see Jeokcheon-gang’s reaction.
But… Well, sometimes I want to say this.
Even if you don’t need any more elaborate words, there are times when you want to convey your sincerity.
And at least in that regard, Jeokcheongang was a much more clumsy person compared to his mighty inaction.
“Khom. greatness. What kind of hideous guy is this furry guy…
Cheon Gang, who was hesitating and clearing his throat for no reason, suddenly burst into laughter. At the end of the direction his finger was pointing, there was a group of people quickly getting closer.
“Nobu, of course, you should only say thank you to those guys. “I jumped into a deadly situation to save one of you, so shouldn’t I get that much public death?”
As I turned my head, I saw familiar faces rushing towards me, covered in blood from head to toe.
One, two, three… six.
Everyone survived. Safely and without a single person missing.
That’s it. It was absolutely sufficient.
‘ah.’
Is it because of infinite relief? Or is it because of fatigue that I had forgotten about?
For a split second, my entire body went limp and I stumbled and fell. No, I almost fell.
If urgent hands hadn’t reached out from all directions to grab me, it would have definitely happened.
Suddenly.
Jeokcheongang, Hyukmujin, Juhwaran, Songilseom, Simapyo, Taesan, and Shinui hold onto my arms and legs. It supports a body that is about to tilt at any moment.
Not a heavy burden, but a solid pillar.
Each and every one of them who came back to this place hoping to be of some help became the biggest reason why I had to win this terrible battle.
“Damn it. “I need to add a hand to this wonderful moment, but he’s so tall that I can’t even reach him.”
Everyone, including me, burst into laughter at the sad words of old agent Eunyeonggak, who was riding on Taesan’s shoulder.
Even I, who almost closed my eyes to the pouring magic spell at any moment. ‘No way. ‘Not yet.’
I gritted my teeth and injected strength into my body, which was about to collapse. And he walked away, leaving everyone’s worried looks behind.
To end this hellish night.
To put an end to the monster that created a terrible hell that no artist could draw.
Jerk. Jerk.
I walked and walked again.
Past the dead and rebels struggling and bound in thick chains.
Looking at dozens of flags rising high.
Until finally, in this vast space where no resistance or screams can be heard, the figure of a monster struggling alone at the foot of the palace is seen.
“Dongcheon Demon Lord (東天魔君).”
At my call, the monster’s movements suddenly stopped.
* * ♦
The moment Jin Tae-kyung’s soft voice reached his ears, Dongcheon Demon felt all the strength in his whole body relax. reason?
I didn’t even know myself.
Maybe it was because the opponent was none other than Jin Tae-kyung, and he was the one who blocked him at every turning point that could change the flow.
Or maybe he was waiting for someone other than Gungseong, who had been watching in silence the whole time, to stop him. This meaningless struggle.
This feeling of despair and anger that I can no longer achieve my goal.
“Yes, you are.”
A volcano that spits out a ton of lava will soon cool down. That was the case with the current Dongcheon Demon Army.
“late. “It’s not polite to make someone wait this long.”
Jin Tae-kyung, who was silently looking down at his calm appearance, opened his mouth.
“Well, this doesn’t apply to monsters that don’t die like you.” “It’s a monster, isn’t it?”
“yes. And to be clear, I’m not particularly polite to people.”
“If you had said that in front of my mom, you would have been beaten to death.”
“Didn’t you say to Nobu a little while ago that he was a monster that couldn’t die?”
“Mom’s kidneys are hitting the soul. “Not the body.”
Dongcheon Demon Lord burst into laughter without realizing it.
“I think I know what you’re talking about. “It makes sense.”
At one time, he also had a mother.
Although he was usually friendly, if he made a mistake, he would be harshly reprimanded and hit on the back.
Even now, many years have passed, the pain from that time still remains.
“Yes, I remember. There was definitely a time like that for me too. “Master was usually a gentle person, but he often used whipping.”
However, the more he remembered the happy memories of the past, the more the smile on Dongcheon Demon’s lips gradually faded.
“But… I don’t remember anymore.” At one time, it was all present. It was today and it was yesterday.
But now, the only images that remain in his memory are their faces horribly distorted by pain. There is only the sight of death or dying.
‘These guys! These bastards deserve to be punished!’ ‘Go, hurry!’
It was truly something unknown.
The tearful screams of a mother who was trampled by soldiers while resisting to protect her only remaining child, and the teacher’s last commands are so vivid, but why are their smiling faces so blurred?
Is it hazy, like everything is covered in fog?
Crackling.
Dongcheon Demon Army clenched his teeth so hard that his molars shattered.
But of course, there was no pain that should have come.
The only result was that it was broken.
Just like the people around him who died screaming
Just as he became a monster from a human by his own choice.
“Do you know that?”
Lips soaked in blood are sweet. The eyes of Dongcheon Demon Lord, who was looking at Lord Jintae, Gungseong, and the countless others surrounding him, were fluttering with cold flames.
“This is just the beginning.” He chewed and spat it out.
One syllable, one syllable filled with anger. Swallowing my resentment toward the world and my sadness at myself for not being able to be happy anymore. “Even if we protect the imperial capital, we will not be able to control the fire spreading throughout the world.”
He served in the imperial family for over half a century. There is no one who has not temporarily entrusted himself to his wide shadow, and there is no one who has not been touched by the dark heaven.
The frogs who escaped from the great well called the ecliptic were each given their own official positions and spread throughout the world. New roots were put down and branches and fruits withered.
That’s why Dongcheon Demon Lord was able to smile.
Thinking about a country that will soon be engulfed in a huge civil war and fire. Thinking of the dark forces heading for reinforcements with that fire in front of them.
“On that day, the great nation will be destroyed.”
The Dongcheon Demon Army burst into laughter.
Before he knew it, he was looking at the person standing in front of him. Laughing at the emperor who felt helpless and unable to do anything.
