Episode 1062
No matter how smooth your life is, you are bound to encounter a certain type of crazy person at least once in your life.
Moreover, looking at it objectively, it goes without saying that I have lived a very difficult and turbulent life.
But I assure you.
Even I have never seen anyone as crazy in the purest sense as that monster called Daein (大人).
‘…At this point, should I at least make a crazy person’s guidebook?’
I muttered to myself and looked at the back of the man’s head as he slowly walked away.
Unable to find his complete identity even under the name Gaetdong, he worked with both cows and horses to complete the trilogy of the Dung series.
Immediately after, she attempted to change her gender to Jeomsuni, but after receiving death threats from Jeokcheongang, she was dragged into the hands of horse stables and quarantined.
“I’m risking everything Nobu has….”
Jeokcheongang, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with me and also watching the back of the great man, spoke in a somber voice.
“That guy is one of the two. “He is either a highly trained shaman from the underworld, or he is completely crazy.”
It was a prediction that anyone who knew the details would nod their head without thinking, but I answered without much hesitation.
“Well, probably not ganja.”
“It is true that that guy led the stables of Ninghe Castle and helped our allies, but it is forbidden to completely believe it. “Don’t you know this well too?”
Of course. Because I was hit on the back of the head to the point where it hurt.
Starting with the great elders of the Taewonjin family and even the Moyong family, which was a part of the Five Great Families, they all joined hands with Amcheon. It would be foolish to blindly trust an unidentified transcendental expert who has no idea where he came from.
but….
“There’s nothing I can’t believe. “If there is sufficient evidence.”
“reason?”
In response to Jeokcheon-gang’s question, I gently pursed my lips.
– system.
Two eyes widen for an instant when a short sound reaches my ears.
Jeokcheongang, who knew what the three letters “system,” which are unfamiliar to this world, meant from stories he had already heard from me, opened his mouth in a low voice.
“So, what do you think, based on what I can tell from your amazing abilities?”
“He is crazy. “It’s also really crazy.”
“That means it’s not ganja?”
“yes. “I can’t be completely sure.”
“What if I were to put it in numerical terms?”
“Gu ha ha gu pun gu ri. Of course I’m crazy. No, I’m talking about the probability that Daein is not Ganja.”
“What about Daein? He’s just a crazy person.”
Jeokcheongang frowned slightly and took a sip of his appetite.
“Anyway, for a guy like you who is uncharacteristically suspicious of everything to say something like that, it means that he is actually certain… So do you think he is truly suffering from mania?”
I hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.
In fact, even though I thought I had a general understanding of most systems, I can’t be 100% sure because it was my first time experiencing it, but other than that, there was no way to explain the name of the person changing all the time.
‘At least it’s not a lie. No matter what you do, it’s virtually impossible to fool the system.’
So in the end, there is only one answer.
Whether it’s dog dung, cow dung, horse dung, etc.
Daein firmly believed himself to be such a being, and the system reflected this.
Therefore, he was a crazy person in the purest sense.
“It’s a shameful act. Even that beggar is crying and looking like he’s going to go away, so it doesn’t seem like he’s at the age where he’s going to suffer from old age… I can’t even tell where he came from.”
Jeokcheongang, who had simply downgraded the world-opening Ark to a royal beggar, frowned, but even for him, it would be close to impossible to guess the identity of the great man right away.
Because there are still so many people in this vast eight states and eight lakes and the Four Seas and Five Lakes that have not yet been revealed.
They are the followers of a secret sect who chose to be forgotten, who are far from the secular world.
Or even fugitives and murderers who are living in secret somewhere in the world.
The Jeokcheongang in front of us right now had been confining himself to Nine Flower Mountain (九華山) and devoted himself to martial arts training until around his 60th birthday, so it was quite possible that Daein was of the same type.
‘In fact, after the Murim Alliance was newly established through the Songsan resolution, a considerable number of retired masters joined the membership.’
Of course, unlike Daein, they would have gone through a sufficient verification process. The Murim Alliance is not some kind of university club, and it is a wartime situation where all kinds of betrayal and evil schemes are rampant.
But what can I say?
At that moment, a certain confidence that suddenly came to me suddenly became a voice and flowed out between my lips.
“Let’s accept this as an ally.”
“what?”
“As I said before, it seems that Daein is not a Ganja of Dark Heaven. No, definitely not.”
Jeokcheongang stared at me with a look of surprise in his voice, which, unlike usual, was full of firm confidence.
“Well, that’s a strange thing. “What made you trust that suspicious lunatic so much?”
“that….”
Instead of answering, I trailed off.
Well, I’m not really sure.
Because the system did not even distinguish between enemies and enemies.
However, along with my curiosity about Daein, I felt a strange, strange confidence.
I have a conviction that even I cannot provide any basis for, that that unidentified supreme master will never be the enemy.
‘…Is it because of fatigue?’
The moment I realized something I had forgotten for a while, I suddenly felt my vision shaking and looked around.
A snowy field covered in countless blood and corpses from a half-day-long battle.
People clearing up the battlefield, forgetting the brief joy of victory, and before you know it, black birds are flocking in and roaming the air.
The sky covered by dark clouds is dark, and the ground beneath them is completely red.
The world captured in my wavering vision felt like a future that would repeat itself forever.
“We… did we really win?”
Jeokcheongang responded to the blurry voice.
“okay. “At least for today.”
But why?
Why?
Even though he defeated countless enemies one by one, saved countless lives, and finally achieved a great victory and protected Gansu Castle.
Even though I am alive and breathing right now.
It didn’t feel like I had won at all.
I wasn’t happy at all.
At this moment, while listening to the clear sound of a bell ringing in my ears.
Tiring, tiring, tiring.
– Quest conditions have been met.
– Mission: Eliminate all enemies in the Gansu Castle area (completed).
– You have successfully completed the quest, [Road of Blood].
– You have gained enormous experience and fame.
A new chain quest has been created.
Would you like to check the changed information?
Y/N
I suddenly raised my head.
The sky visible through the translucent holographic window was still covered with pitch-black dark clouds, and the air that seeped deep into my body as I took a deep breath was filled with the smell of blood.
When will I be able to be free from this scene?
How much more suffering and death must we endure before we can escape this terrible bondage?
But as always, I had no choice but to answer.
‘accept.’
It was a fucking cruel day.
* * *
Crackling, crackling.
Beyond the faint, swaying candlelight, there were two eyes silently watching a shadow writhing with an eerie sound.
At first glance, it seemed so deep that it was impossible to guess its true intentions, but even so, the look in its eyes filled with a hint of contempt and disgust remained even after the sound of destruction had stopped.
As the convulsions subsided little by little, the shadow that finally stood up suddenly expressed its displeasure.
“Bitch. “With your eyes wide open.”
It was rough for the first greeting in a long time, but the woman didn’t care much.
She had always prided herself on being a rational person, and she knew that it was very difficult to expect human decency from a mere animal.
Of course, even if that were the case, nice words could not be said.
“Wipe your body. “Don’t give off that disgusting smell.”
“what? “Are you disgusting?”
Shadow, who was about to reply to the woman’s sharp voice, suddenly burst into laughter.
“Yes, do as you command. The screening must be very uncomfortable. “Isn’t that right?”
“…what nonsense again.”
“It’s not appropriate to pretend not to know. do not do that. “Because it looks ugly for no reason.”
Sreuk.
Fabric grazing smooth muscles and skin.
In the darkness beyond the reach of the candlelight, a shadow wiped away the blood from all over its body and blurted out a word.
“Jin Tae-gyeong, the fire god dragon.”
“…!”
“From what I heard, you were almost on the verge of failure… What do you think, you damned bitch? “You laughed at me like that last time, but now that you’ve experienced it yourself, it’s not easy, right?”
The woman, the great sorceress, bit her lip quietly.
That was because it was an incontrovertible fact even for her.
And at the great sorcerer’s silence that would not end easily, the shadow that laughed out loud spoke again.
“I should have been much more careful. “It doesn’t matter if four years have passed, but it would have caused major disruption to the grand scheme.”
The great wizard narrowed his eyes at the continued sarcasm and responded.
“That goes for you too.”
“Well, isn’t it too embarrassing to compare it to back then? “At most, I caused a bloody storm in the middle of the midfield with a few idiots, but even if you close your eyes, this situation is different.”
Jeez.
A teasingly giggling shadow, or rather, blood master, appeared under the dim light and added,
“In addition, I had to take care of important things.”
After the Shaolin Blood History that shook the whole world, he never appeared again, and crossed the wide space with light steps.
And sitting in the temple, which had traces of a long period of time that could have been hundreds of years and an inexplicable sense of intimidation, he rested his chin at an angle and looked at the great sorcerer.
As if he were the monarch of a country.
“hmm. Well, let’s stop talking about the past here. What is important is not the past, but the present and the future. is not it?”
This time it was the great wizard’s turn to laugh.
She shook her head and gazed at the blood master sitting in the royal palace.
“Don’t talk as if anything can happen. “Because you are a stupid animal, no, you are no better than a monster.”
“They’re monsters, aren’t they just ordinary people in the eyes of the midfielders anyway?”
“different. The only thing we have in common is that we serve Him together. “None of us can be like you.”
However, despite her disdainful voice, Hyeolju just shrugged her shoulders like nothing had happened.
“that’s right. “For the first time, you are saying the right thing.”
“…what?”
At a time when the great mage was taken aback by the completely different reaction from what he had expected, a smile as thick as blood appeared on the side of the blood master’s lips.
“Of course it can’t be the same. “No one, including those of you four years ago, would have made a major as big as me.”
He smiled happily and stroked Taesa’s head.
To be exact, the two characters ‘Kunlun (崑崙)’ were engraved in a part of the Taesa’s inscription in a handwriting worthy of a warrior.
Whiuuuu.
The snowy wind that swept past the curved mountain peaks was seeping into the place where the man and woman faced each other, Taecheongjeon.
