Episode 8
“That little boy is lucky.”
“well. Do you really think it was luck?”
“Then, master, do you think that kid has keen senses enough to detect mountain gong poison? “I haven’t learned anything like martial arts.”
The sky is cloudy. Like water droplets spreading on rice paper, the moon was obscured by clouds and gradually became lighter.
It was such a dark night that you couldn’t even see an inch ahead.
Three people were standing on the roof of the highest pavilion of the Unryongpyo Kingdom.
Jegalin, the Baeklin-uiseon, with pure white silver hair fluttering. And Yoo Ho, the Commander-in-Chief of Baekrin Uigak, who claims to be his servant. Unji-sang, the Unryongpyogukju, a giant with a sword at his waist.
“Eui-seon’s eyes are definitely different. “I didn’t find anything special about that Sohyeop… but Mujae was also ordinary.”
“Then why do you covet it?”
“….”
Unji-san closes his mouth without answering.
Jegalin nailed Yun Ji-sang gently but strongly.
“Lord Gukju. Let me explain it properly in advance now. That child will become my disciple. “Who also deciphered the acid poison?”
Unji-san sighed heavily at those words.
“Whew… How could I go against the will of the good will? “Do you like that child that much?”
“It is the same as the Lord’s heart.”
“Tsk. I can’t help it. “It’s not a disciple’s bond…”
“Hoo… Have you thought about making him a disciple even though he’s not a martial artist?”
“Even though he was still young, he was thoughtful and strong-willed. And even that medical skill… isn’t he a coveted talent? “Don’t you know very well that this country cannot be run just by being good at martial arts?”
“That’s right. So, I am also jealous. “Anyway… it looks like it’s coming slowly.”
Yun Ji-sang’s expression turned scary at Jegalin’s words.
In the distance, they both saw a group of people gathering in the dark.
“How dare you attack the main country…”
A dragon-like energy flowed from his body.
“You can’t inconvenience your guests. “I would appreciate it if you two could wait here.”
“I hope you have a comfortable stay.”
Unji-san jumps from the roof of the pavilion. And at the same time, in the distance, people dressed in black climbed the wall of Bunta, the Cloud Dragon Symbol Country.
They all had masks on their faces, and their blades were dyed black to prevent them from reflecting the moonlight.
Anyone could see that it was a night raid.
It was quiet inside Bunta.
It was not possible to see whether the lions were sleeping or not.
“master. “I can feel the magic energy?”
“They are people who have mastered the magic arts… If that number is that many, is it a demonic religion?”
“Maybe. “I don’t know if you are involved in something troublesome.”
“But don’t I still have you?”
“Hehehe my true. “I don’t know what to do when a person who can kill all of them with a single slash of his sword speaks like that.”
Instead of answering, Zhugelin just smiled slyly. It was a smile the dragon made while hiding its claws.
Yuho scratched his head.
“master. That you don’t have much time left to live. “You haven’t forgotten, right?”
“I know. But isn’t it human that we want to burn like a flame, even if it’s only for a short time?”
“I just want to be with you for a long time, master…”
“It can’t be helped. “Anyway, it’s started.”
The place where Jegalin’s eyes landed on the Baeklin’s Line. A blood clot began to break out there.
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee was curled up next to the bed of the future Heavenly Demon Yeo Ha-ryun. A shout rang out outside. Screams and the sound of swords clashing were heard.
Thinking that it had begun, Jin Cheon-hee glanced at Yeo Ha-ryun’s closed eyelids.
‘That guy still hasn’t woken up.’
When I think about what that bastard’s life will be like in the future, it might be better if I don’t wake up like this.
‘Isn’t it amazing? ‘All these people came to kill you.’
It’s a child. Young kid.
A small child with only a secret of birth.
So many people have prepared to kill this child.
Yeo Ha-ryun’s hands were still white. These are hands that have not received anyone’s blood. The world moved to kill this child.
‘The Cloud Dragon Symbol Country is strong. Even if I hadn’t told you, you would have won anyway.’
Even if high-ranking warriors are addicted to mountain gong poison, there are low-ranking warriors. The power of the Cloud Dragon Symbol Nation was by no means weak.
However, a lot of blood would have had to be shed, and it would have been a fatal blow to the Cloud Dragon Symbol Nation.
In that case, numerous flag states will fight to fill the vacancy of the Cloud Dragon Bureau that ruled the Yangtze River, and this will be the beginning of disaster in the future.
“In the meantime, you’re sleeping well. but. “I don’t really shiver either…”
Jin Cheonhee stared at her hands.
People are dying outside.
It would have been normal for an ordinary person to be scared and jump down.
Because at any moment someone with a sword might appear and kill him.
Still, for some reason I wasn’t afraid.
‘If you think about it, was it like this when distinguishing the living among the corpses?…’
Jin Cheon-hee decided that something had changed. Otherwise, there’s no way you could be like this. Maybe it was because I had already died once.
‘but. The experience of being shot dead by rebels is not common.’
At that moment, a moan came out of Yeo Ha-ryun’s mouth.
Am I having a nightmare?
Jin Cheon-hee is startled by an animal-like moan that she cannot believe is coming from a child.
‘Should I wake him up? No, even if I woke you up earlier, he didn’t wake up.’
As I watched, I never had a nightmare just because of the sound. Rather, is it because of the smell of blood outside?
While thinking about it, Jin Cheon-hee searched the shelf and lit another scented candle.
He didn’t know what the scent was, but he thought it would be good if it was strong enough to mask the bloody smell.
After lighting the three scented candles, Yeo Ha-ryun’s expression gradually began to calm down again.
Jin Cheon-hee sighed softly as she saw the moaning slowly subside.
‘Be nice to me. Hey.’
Still, he is the main character, so it would be better to show him well from now on.
‘It’s still a baby so there will be room to tame it.’
There is still a fight outside. That’s how Jin Cheon-hee spent the night of Yeo Ha-ryun.
* * *
The fight at Bunta of the Cloud Dragon Symbol Country did not take long.
The masked men, who realized that the acid poison did not work properly, retreated, suffering damage.
The sun finally rose.
Meanwhile, Jin Cheon-hee spent the day with her eyes open.
Even if Jin Cheon-hee fell into the middle of a powerhouse, his spirit was still an ordinary Korean.
People are dying outside and my nerves aren’t strong enough to sleep comfortably.
Even if I’m not afraid, I’m not indifferent.
The sound of bodies and patients being carried outside was also heard. And I also heard the sound of a guard warrior coming and protecting me.
‘It’s over.’
The fight is over. Bunta of the Unryongpyoguk is safe. And the event that originally meant many people would have died has changed.
‘ruler. So… what should I do now? Are you just sitting by? Is it assistance? You have to choose one or the other.’
Jin Cheon-hee glares at the door with slightly squinted eyes.
‘If I stand by, my abilities will not be known. That’s safe. It looks like other lawmakers have a lot to ask about the first aid method used on this guy.’
Jin Cheonhee glanced and looked to the side.
Heavenly Demon Yeo Ha-ryun is sleeping.
‘If I start treatment, people who could die might be able to live. Because Baeklin Eui-seon does not use self-immolation techniques, there must be a limit to the number of people he can save. But that’s not more important than my safety.’
The answer is decided.
‘My medical skills are definitely foreign and strange. Maybe I could be mistaken for a spy. okay. OK. You can just stay like this and leave. And you can live as a doctor in this world while working at the Cloud Serpent Bureau. then. That’s it. At that time, if I go and save a lot of people…’
As Jin Cheon-hee continued to think like that, a face suddenly came to mind as she looked at the sleeping Heavenly Demon Yeo Ha-ryun.
The face of a child who was embarrassed by the rebels’ guns.
The child whom Jin Cheon-hee herself embraced and protected from bullets.
Did the child survive?
-Why should we save people? Why did it have to be saved like that?
-Why didn’t I abandon them on the mountain?
-I don’t know either. I really don’t know. Director teacher.
“shit. “I really…”
Only then did Jin Cheon-hee stand up.
It was like that. Even then, he couldn’t turn away. But now, there is no way I can justify myself and turn away.
He just walked up to Yeo Ha-ryun.
The idea was to check the patient’s condition before leaving the room.
‘no. Why is he suddenly acting like this again?’
This time, I was even more overcome by the nightmare than before, so I was even breaking into a cold sweat.
I even exhale sharply, but this time my breathing stops.
‘Is it apnea…?’
1 second 2 seconds… 30 seconds… 1 minute.
I didn’t breathe for a minute.
At this point, I thought it would be okay, so I reached out to grab his shoulder and shake him.
That moment.
widely-!
The guy’s white hand wrapped around Jin Cheonhee’s wrist.
Finally, his eyelids slowly opened.
It was red.
In a murky voice, as if a rusty sword was scraping the ground.
“…Who sent it?”
The murderous spirit spread around Yeo Ha-ryun.
Kugguggeuk-
‘Fuck you. The little guy is already having a very difficult time living…’
Jin Cheonhee smiled, thinking of calming down this future Heavenly Demon kid.
“I…”
“It’s done.”
“huh?”
“All we have to do is kill him and bury the corpse.”
At that moment, Yeo Ha-ryun’s other hand strangles Jin Cheon-hee.
Suddenly,
my throat was grabbed as if I was being sucked in helplessly.
Jin Cheon-hee takes a deep breath due to the strong pressure.
‘Fuck… I never imagined that he would be this disgusting.’
Jin Cheon-hee knew.
In the novel, it is one of the reasons why Yeo Ha-ryun later becomes Cheonma.
The blood of the Heavenly Killer Star.
In modern times, would we say that he has the temperament of a serial killer? No, it was more than that.
Cheonsalseong is basically described as a genius at killing people, and the more people he kills, the stronger he becomes.
That’s not all. He also has a natural talent for learning martial arts, which makes him stronger than anyone else.
You can literally say that he is a murderer sent from heaven.
As great a talent as it is, of course it also has its drawbacks.
It is said that in the future, he is consumed by the madness of Cheonsalseong and goes crazy, but like the main character of the novel, Yeo Ha-ryun controls his madness and completely overcomes it, becoming the best person in the world.
‘The ability to slap modern science… no. Now is not the time to think about such nonsense. My throat is congested and my head hurts more and more. If that’s the case…’
Is it because of tribulation? It seems that the blood that was dormant has awakened.
Still, I couldn’t let it go like this.
I wanted to call for help, but my voice couldn’t come out because my throat was being strangled.
Jin Cheonhee twisted her body. And with that movement, the scented candle that had been lit earlier falls to the floor.
‘Great!’
