chapter 59
59. meet up (1)
When the fighting was over, peace soon came.
Of course, from the disposal of the dead throughout the mountain range to the joint funeral of the Protestants.
There must be a lot of post-war processing, but it was none of our business as outsiders.
They weren’t comrades who shared the joys and sorrows together, and they weren’t close enough to pay for the relief money.
It was just waiting.
He waited for her to come out at the entrance of Hell Cave, where Cheon Yu-ha was said to have entered.
As I stared at the entrance like that, the first elder hurriedly spoke, as if there was a misunderstanding.
“… … This inside is a place where only the supreme leader and successor of Protestantism can enter! No matter how benefactor you are, you cannot set foot in the cave of hell.”
“Yes, I have no intention of going in. As I said earlier, I am just waiting for a friend.”
“… … It was. The benefactor is definitely the head teacher’s best friend.”
singular… … Saying you’re close friends makes me feel like I’ve been discovered that I don’t have many friends.
Well, I probably didn’t mean it in that sense, but the look in the eyes of the first elder was unusual.
Something twinkling, longing eyes.
It’s the first time I’ve ever been looked at like this by an old man with a white beard… … .
“If you are hungry, I will go to Sibi and serve you wine and meat.”
“No, it’s okay-”
“Not only that, but if your benefactor needs anything, I will order you to bring it anytime! Please say something!”
“… … .”
After the battle with the Blood Demon and after facing him, he has always been devoted.
Oh my God, Eunin-nim.
To say that I am the benefactor of the Heavenly Demonic Church.
It seems like only yesterday that I was misunderstood as a secret weapon at school, but it has been upgraded even further.
‘… … Well, isn’t it bad?’
It wasn’t a group they would be close to, like close friends, but at least they weren’t enemies.
It was because from the previous life to the present life, everyone was a group with Cheon Yu-ha, who belonged to their best friend, as the leader.
There would be nothing wrong with being friendly with the people below them.
“Yes, then please take care of me.”
“Leave it to me!”
He is a very energetic old man.
Seeing how he respects me, who is much younger than himself, he even has a great personality.
Still, it was an unchanging fact that he was the leader of the Protestant church next to the religious leader, so he vacated his seat quickly.
If you want, leave the fertilization in a little distance so that you can treat it right away.
I looked at it secretly, just in case, but I didn’t see any more vigilant personnel around.
“Are you usually in a secret room?”
I thought he would be a little more wary even if I told him that he was a benefactor and a close friend of the religious leader.
What kind of ulterior motive is not to have surveillance personnel in the area where outsiders are forbidden to enter?
As I tilted my head at that question, the steel-clad giant who had been standing quietly next to me opened his mouth.
“Anyway, if you try to force your way in, you will never be able to stop it. He must have thought that it would be better to show faith than to offend by acting vaguely.”
“… … uh.”
Kishin, this guy was a guy who could talk well in long sentences like this.
I first knew
He is a blunt guy who only speaks in short sentences every day, so this kind of appearance feels fresh again.
“… … What is it, why are you looking at it?”
It’s only a few seconds of eye contact, but it’s just a guy who wriggles right away.
I wondered how to express this to a guy who was distracted by his size, but I suddenly thought that he was like an angry cat.
It’s definitely tick-tick-tick-like, but… … .
‘What about cats?’
It’s the size of a Siberian tiger and a friend, but I thought it was a stingy expression.
Okay, let’s think of it as a wild-tempered tiger.
It’s a magical tiger that will take care of the demons if you throw them at them.
If it is trained well like that, will there be any difference from a cat?
“Yeah, not bad.”
I nodded my head in agreement, and the guy looked at me while making a scratching noise, as if he was slightly offended.
Grrr’s to the with the sound of something like the cry of an animal.
I first associated it with animals, and now all my thoughts go this way.
After patting my head for a while, I regained my sanity and looked at the entrance of the dark cave again.
I heard that my close friend Cheon Yu-ha was there.
Even I couldn’t go inside unless I destroyed all of them, as the largest number of formations were spread out among the areas of the Protestant Church.
It was impossible to even feel the guy’s condition with a transcendent feeling.
He just stood still and waited for his safe return.
To be honest, there was little chance of him passing the ordeal in Hell Cave, but I waited.
It was possible to help, to save them from the ordeal, but they did not.
A warrior sometimes has to go through his own maturity period.
My best friend was then and now.
Now is the time to break out of your own hard egg.
So, I just watched and waited.
May she come out of the egg safely.
***
Quaang! Stretch your fist.
As time passes, the cave of hell where purple poison smoke flickers.
Against the shadow of the Heavenly Demon, Cheon Yu-Ha was taking the posture he had seen before.
He was in the process of chasing the image of a man who had been polished countless times and could not help but admire as a warrior.
‘Since when?’
It wasn’t something I consciously followed.
Rather, it was closer to trying to forget. As much as possible, I tried to erase this from my head.
It’s not that I hate him.
In case my heart is weakened, if I ask him for help, I wonder if he will solve it right away.
In order to escape from such a weak heart, I turned away from his shadow.
I forgot the name Choi Kang-jun.
I only wanted to focus on martial arts.
He is not an ordinary soldier who gets help from someone, but a supreme being who will come to everyone.
As a religious leader, he had to take responsibility for the tribulation that came to the church.
I just had to figure it out.
The existence of the Heavenly Demon (天魔), who had been feared by everyone since the distant past, was not allowed to speak weakly.
I’d rather die.
It was a thousand times better to die fighting than to live weakly crawling on the ground.
Quaang!
I stretch out my fist with such a desperate heart.
No, it was stretched out.
Chun Yu-ha suddenly realized.
Now, is it true that he is truly practicing martial arts?
I wondered if I was just screaming in front of a big wall.
They blindly cling to the advancement of their realm.
It’s a situation where you’re in a corner enough to look at it, but if it’s solved as you want just by shouting in fear, the world will be full of Hwagyeong masters.
Are you properly looking at the wall? Isn’t it blind to look at a distant place?
Chun Yu-ha, who had doubts, put down the impatience of worrying about the future.
focused only on the present.
It’s okay if you can’t cross the border today. It’s okay even if you can’t survive here.
Let’s just do our best.
So that there is not an inch of shame in the fist that you stretch out.
With that promise, the trajectory changed.
The field of view is straight.
He could clearly see the figure of the Heavenly Demon, made up of black shadows, charging at him.
Poisonous insects crawling around crawled in, too, but it didn’t harm his concentration.
I feel that my field of vision is wider than before.
Based on that mysterious sense, she stretched out her days against the attacks of the Heavenly Demon. The best one you can imagine.
Quaang!
fist stretched out
As the fist pierced the shadow’s head, it disappeared and a new figure emerged from the floor.
This time, the one holding a sword in one hand seemed to be a former Heavenly Demon called the ‘Sword Demon’.
Awesome! Awesome!
As expected of an absolute master who has reached the highest level, the cutting edge was sharp and precise.
Momentarily aiming at vital points is standard, and whenever there is a chance, she puts out a sheath on one of the limbs.
It was only a narrow wound, but it was unavoidable that blood leaked out little by little through the long cloth.
But Chun Yu-ha was not afraid.
was not afraid of death.
Chasing a clue that had begun to appear before I knew it, I reached out my fist.
the best you can achieve.
The man’s trajectory, which was originally considered an ideal, gradually became embodied in the body.
resemble
Also, you realize
I got a feel for how to stretch out my fist like a man and reach the sky.
I tried to forget the man, but as soon as I realized about nothing, his figure became clearer and clearer.
‘Extend your fist.’
A simple but subtle process.
Depending on who is doing it, the result is different.
Chun You-ha settled on the body that he thought was the best.
I suddenly realized
How to stretch your fist.
At that time, the sword demon’s shadow swung the sword.
I’m sorry-!
A merciless blow that splits space.
However, Chun You-ha stretched out his fist against the blade as if possessed.
‘Now, look. That’s how I do it.’
Quaang!
Then the wall broke through.
the sky was visible
A figure of a man emerged from my fist.
“… … .”
Chun Yu-ha, who stopped with his fists outstretched, closed his eyes and focused.
thump – thump –
My heart was beating wildly.
