How many people do not feel fear in the face of death?
Very rare.
No, there is none.
Of course, if you turn the world upside down and rob them, you might come across a few people, but I can confidently say that even among the martial people who boast a size that is completely different from that of the common people, there will be no such crazy people.
As a person who has lived his own life, it is natural to be afraid of death.
Everyone is equally bound to feel fear in the face of death, whether it is a veteran who has faced life and death countless times on the fierce battlefield or a baby who has not lost his fur yet.
Even more so, if a full course of unspeakable, horrendous torture is reserved for that death.
But there are bound to be exceptions everywhere.
At this moment, like the Dongcheon demon army laughing loudly in front of the emperor. “Haha, hahaha!” A miserable sight, with limbs lost and lying scattered around. But his laughter resonated loudly, like that of a winner.
Even though complete death, which had been prolonged several or dozens of times, was finally approaching right in front of his eyes, not a single ounce of fear could be found in the current Dongcheon Demon Army.
Is it because the body simply cannot feel pain?
‘no.’
Even if he were a normal human being and not a monster, he would have laughed like he does now.
He would have willingly accepted torture and death, cursing the imperial family and the great nation that had taken everything from him.
In the distant past, the only emotion left to Dongcheon Demon Lord is resentment.
Self-blame and regret for not being able to complete revenge with my own hands.
That was it.
It was the only fact and result, nothing more or less.
“It’s over. completely.”
The meaning of Jeokcheongang’s brain-scraping sound conveyed to my ears was clear.
Now, it is impossible to get information from Dongcheon Demon Army with any sweet words or actions.
Just as a horse running through the wilderness does not look back, his path was already decided a long time ago.
“I’ve seen a guy with eyes like that before. “There is no need to waste time; the best thing to do is to kill him right away and avoid the aftereffects.”
These words are not just directed at me. Right now, Jeokcheongang was talking to everyone here.
It was the greatest respect he could show to those who fought against the enemy together on the same battlefield, and it was a suggestion to one person.
The one who rules this vast continent. Right to the emperor.
“your majesty.”
Geumwiwi Cheonho and Jeonghogun, covered in blood from head to toe, stepped forward holding a sword cut in half.
“Please give me your orders.”
But the emperor did not answer.
It was after some time that he, who had been looking down at the Dongcheon Demon Army with his mouth firmly shut and a tired face, opened his mouth.
“What do you think?”
I didn’t know at first.
Who is that question directed at?
However, I realized this when I saw the emperor’s gaze staring at me precisely and the people’s reactions that followed as if a dam had collapsed.
At this very moment, the emperor is asking me, and no one else, about the treatment of the Dongcheon demon army.
“Lung, pheha!”
“No, that’s not true!”
“How can His Majesty, the most powerful person in the world, treat a mere citizen who is not even a member of the government, and even a robber of a powerful nation…!”
“It’s a robber ship of the powerful.”
The Emperor, who looked low, looked around. Before he knew it, large and small officials dressed in official uniforms were surrounding him on all sides.
The Emperor and the Dongcheon Demon Army.
The emperor, who gazed at their faces one after another, many of whom were able to survive only because both sides focused on each other, spoke slowly.
“It is truly a strange thing. “The robbers of Gangho you talk about are covered in blood after fighting a fierce battle, but the so-called high officials of the government look so unharmed even in this fierce battle.”
”······!”
“······!”
In an instant, everything became quiet.
The emperor, who had silenced everyone at once, turned his head towards me.
“Now answer me. “I want to hear your thoughts.”
I don’t know.
Why did the emperor choose me out of all these people?
Also, what kind of answer do you want from me?
But I didn’t think much more than that. As always, I just have to say what I have to say.
“If I am against killing that guy, will you let me live?”
The sound of people swallowing their breath is heard everywhere at a bomb-like word that no one expected.
Even Dongcheon Demon stopped laughing and widened his eyes.
But the emperor still looked at me with unwavering eyes and opened his mouth. “Not possible.”
“What is the reason?”
I’m not asking this absurd question because I really don’t know.
Everyone must be informed.
Even if people outside of this palace don’t know, the people here know it.
And I believed that the emperor also guessed my intentions.
“The author is a traitor from ancient times. “For a long time, he covered Abamama’s eyes and ears and used poison to slowly drive most of the imperial family, including the Crown Prince’s brother, to death.”
An invisible commotion spreads.
Everyone held their breath as they watched the secret history that had not been revealed.
According to what is known to the world so far, the axis of all evil is the emperor himself.
“By the time Jim found out, it was already too late. “Traitors trying to overthrow the great nation had taken control of the imperial family and held most of the real power.”
Everyone in the room could well guess what happened after that.
The emperor was reduced to a scarecrow. The princes were already addicted to poison.
There was no more time or people for those who inherited noble and great blood.
Excluding an old general who protected the Jinuiwi with unwavering loyalty and the fourth prince of a great country who wandered abroad because he was far from the throne.
“There was only one way left.”
In this way, a revolt took place under the guise of treason.
Ten years ago, right here, in the grand banquet hall.
In just one night, hundreds of government officials were killed, and soon tens of thousands more were exiled or executed.
And the Four Princes swung the sword of purge without hesitation.
Using the corpses of the traitors who tried to destroy the great nation as stairs, leaving behind the invisible glares and curses of all people.
On the other hand, I promise that I will soon reveal the whole truth and wash away this shame. “Then the reason why the imperial family, including His Majesty the Emperor, was imprisoned…”
“I tried to cure it somehow, but even the doctors did not know the detailed cause. However, they said that there is a certain person who roams this world like a cloud and drives away even the Grim Reaper, so there must be a way to find him.”
“God’s doctor.”
“okay.”
To the thoughts I was muttering to myself, the Emperor added bitterly:
“But we couldn’t find him in the end.”
I also heard it directly from Salseong.
The story goes that Salseong and Sinui roamed all over the world and provided medicine to the people, and the people who did not forget their benevolence hid them from the imperial pursuit.
‘If the imperial family had found them then…:
History would have been changed.
Even if the true identity of the poison that cast a dark shadow of death over the imperial family was blood hongongo (血魂盡), I would have been able to find a way somehow if I had the skill and faith I know.
However, the end of that strange fate was the death of the previous emperor, the crown princes, and other members of the royal family, and the fourth prince, who was far from the throne, finally became a complete usurper and immoral son.
“Why didn’t you do it? “All this truth.”
“It’s not that it wasn’t revealed, it’s that it wasn’t revealed. From a certain point on, everything Jim said and did was nothing more than a usurper’s excuse. “It was only at the last moment that I realized the reality when Abama, who regained her original spirit, told me that she would practice Zen.”
It was a stigma that could never be erased.
Even though he was officially crowned and became the ruler of the world from the fourth emperor of a great country, people turned their backs on the unbelievable truth.
A usurper who, blinded by ambition, toppled his father from the throne.
As if that wasn’t enough, he was a murderer and a traitor who drove countless families and royal family members to death.
The traitors who drove the country into the abyss of destruction became loyalists, but on the contrary, those who wanted to protect the country had to be covered in disgusting filth.
however
Nevertheless, I had no choice but to keep going.
Because this huge weed that cast a shadow over the entire country had to be completely eradicated.
“We took the imperial sword and defeated many traitors, but the biggest one survived. “The counterattack that day was only half a success.”
The Dongcheon Demon Army at that time was not a monster like it is now.
He suffered severe injuries from which he could not recover while fighting against Gungseong and Baekyeon, and offered a deal.
A deal to exchange his life for the fate of the entire country.
“For Jim… it was an offer he couldn’t refuse.”
The emperor is the world, and the center of the world is the ecliptic.
However, the emperor and the emperor were not the entire world.
If the Dongcheon Demon Army had been killed that day, the country would have been divided in half and engulfed in a huge war.
The only path chosen by the Four Princes in the face of the crisis of wind and lightning was another justification for rebellion for those who had already colluded with the Dongcheon Demon Army a long time ago and were waiting for their time.
“That much had to be prevented. “I couldn’t hold back any more blood.”
I grabbed the sword with my baby steps.
When the calluses on my hands felt natural and I got used to the feel of the horse’s reins, I went to battle.
Although he led the army with excellent martial arts and military skills and made great achievements, he would always remember it in his mind every time he went into battle.
This war is the last.
It should be the last time
throne? Military service as a general? There was no need.
I gave up my attachment to them a long time ago.
The eldest brother, who was intelligent and good, had the potential to become a saint, and the reason he participated in dozens of large and small wars was simply because he hoped that the new world that his older brother would rule would be peaceful.
That was all.
however. however······.
“This is what happened in the end.”
Sreung.
As for the Fourth Prince, the Emperor drew his sword.
He asked, looking at me through the colorful sword body that did not have a single drop of blood even though it had cut down countless dead people.
“Jin Tae-kyung of Taewonjinga. don’t ask me again “Do you need any more reasons for Jim to kill the author?”
I answered.
“What you said is enough.” It is not just one person who has been waiting for the moment of revenge. “Then it’s done.”
With a calm but at the same time boiling reply, the emperor lowered his sword. Towards a family enemy.
Towards the eternal traitor who tried to throw the country and its people into disaster.
No, I was trying to get out.
The emperor’s treasured sword was advancing at a rapid pace until someone’s deep voice rang out.
“Still, one thing is missing.” Hiss!
A sharp sound blew.
The emperor, who stopped his sword just before it touched the Dongcheon Demon Army’s uvula, and everyone in the room turned their heads. And saw.
A boy wearing clothes stained with blood here and there, with calm but sad eyes.
Sangsan King’s Jupyo
Everyone’s eyes were on the young king, but the young king was looking at only one person.
Even small steps where growth has not yet been completed
“majesty. majesty!”
A face that has never been seen before.
Perhaps as soon as the battle began, Hong Jin urgently called him to come to his master’s side, but King Sangsan Ju Pyo did not stop his steps.
Sabak.
step
Sabak.
Also walk
No one could stop him.
At this moment, the boy reflected in everyone’s eyes was a man.
It was not a young king, but another monarch.
And the head of the man and monarch slowly bowed.
Toward a person who could not completely let go of his anger even in the face of death.
Toward the number of people who killed none other than their own parents and siblings.
Sreuk.
The hem of his clothes grazed a puddle of blood. King Sangsan, who bowed deeply towards the Dongcheon demon army, opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry, this may not be of any consolation to you, but… “I sincerely apologize for what my grandfather did.”
“······!”
“······!”
Everyone was speechless. Me, the emperor, the palace, the Hwawang, and even the Dongcheon Demon Army
“ah.”
A soft groan escaped between parted lips.
He looked at King Sangsan with trembling eyes and then smiled vaguely.
“This is truly a damn thing.”
Sigh!
The blade that was touching his skin dug into his neck.
