< Episode 87: Piece of Truth (4) >
It happened as the murderous intent piled up.
Mok Gyeong-un had a strong killing intent even from a young age to the extent that he was considered murderous.
Because his murderous intent was so strong his grandfather made Mo Kyung-un refrain from meeting anyone.
However this was not the case throughout his childhood.
Mu Qingyun acquired this innate killing intent.
His grandfather taught Mok Gyeong-un to always imagine a calm lake in his state of mind and to never be put in turbulent waters. He also taught him etiquette so that he would always instill it in his daily life.
It had a significant effect.
Since Mok Gyeong-un deeply followed his grandfather who raised him at some point he unconsciously came to the point of protecting it.
however
-Tutuk!
As his anger reached its peak and his unleashed murderous intent reached the point where he could not control it something broke inside Mok Gyeong-un’s head and indeed his heart.
It wasn’t simply a matter of crossing a limit in the depths of one’s mind.
It was as if something that had been suppressed was erupting and at some point it took over my mind and everything.
“You…you…what about those eyes?”
Lee Gwang couldn’t hide his embarrassment at Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes that had turned into obsidian.
Just by making eye contact I was so overwhelmed with intimidation that I almost lost my mind.
Then Mok Gyeong-un snorted and said.
“Thanks to you I woke up after a long time but it’s difficult to be like this.”
“what?”
“It hasn’t completely melted in yet.”
“What are you talking about now…..”
“Humans are imperfect beings but they find their way within it. So I saw the possibility as high and wanted to assimilate with you.”
‘!?’
“Maybe it’s because you’re always at a crossroads between choosing between two sides but you often disappoint me.”
Lee Gwang’s eyes shook violently.
The confidence and dignity in his voice is like that of a king.
This could be said to be an intimidating feeling similar to that of a reigning or absolute being but the moment he felt this only one thing came to Lee Gwang’s mind.
-Be on guard for the incarnation of Ahriman who will color the sacred flame with black evil will appear in this world.
“Ah…Ahriman?”
Lee Gwang looked at Mok Gyeong-un and said in a trembling voice.
At those words Mok Gyeong-un raised one eyebrow and opened his mouth.
“Ahriman? Yes it was called that way too.”
‘!!!!!!’
I can’t believe it.
It was simply thought to be a prophecy signifying the birth of a great murderer who would disturb the world.
This monster was definitely the incarnation of it.
however….
‘avatar? ‘Is this incarnation?’
Can this be called an incarnation or something?
no.
This is what it is.
“Ahriman!”
As Lee Gwang fell into a passion Mok Gyeong-un sighed and said with a smile.
“It doesn’t matter what you call it whether it’s Ahriman Cheonjama or the devil. After all humans are only obsessed with what they want to see. one…”
-Sigh!
When Mok Gyeong-un held out his hand Lee Gwang’s body with only his one leg remaining began to tremble violently.
My body was not only trembling due to the rushing black energy but was also swelling as if it would burst.
“You must have been willing to pay a high price for killing him right?”
“Off.”
It’s so painful.
It feels like every drop of blood is suffering.
He felt like he was going to die from pain he had never experienced before so he couldn’t bear it.
“Stop that…”
Mok Kyung-un whispered into his distressed ear.
“With this level of power not only your body but even your soul can be torn apart and destroyed.”
“Ho Hon?”
“What do you think it means for the soul to disappear?”
“What…what…”
“Regardless of reincarnation or anything else it means the extinction of your very existence.”
– Creepy!
In the midst of the pain Lee Gwang was so overcome with fear that his mind flashed.
“I…I…”
“Do you want your soul to be left behind? If you do tell me. “Where is the person who told you to kill Munno?”
“That… that person….. off.”
-Bassss!
As he spoke his swollen body gradually began to crack.
When the crack occurred not just the pain but the feeling itself disappeared.
It’s as if there is nothing.
Mok Gyeong-un smiled eerily at him and said.
“What should I do with this? I think we’d better hurry. “Your soul is already being torn apart.”
It was truly strange.
He was a man who insisted on only loyalty to Him to the point where he even risked his own death.
However when he was told that the being in front of him had lost its soul and ceased to exist he was overcome with extreme fear and opened his mouth without realizing it.
“Demon Sword…Je…Only the executives of the first world can contact him directly.”
“How can I meet a person called Ghost Sword?”
“The demon sword….Keueuuu.”
“It’s about time.”
“Gwi…Gwiseon is Heaven and Earth…Heaven and Earth Association Lord can call…”
“Cheonjihoeju?”
“okay. If the Lord of Heaven and Earth calls the ghost sword will definitely show up. Please save me. “Please…I don’t want to disappear from existence.”
“good. “Let’s do that.”
“Are you serious?”
Mok Gyeong-un’s words made Lee Gwang look angry even though he was distressed.
Because he experienced all kinds of strange things while serving him he believed in the existence of the soul and reincarnation.
Therefore I wanted to avoid disappearing from existence.
Mok Kyung-un smiled and said to him.
“But I would but Jeong doesn’t want that.”
“what?”
“We are still separate.”
“Hey it’s different from the contract. “What are you talking about now….Knock!”
-Passssss!
Lee Gwang’s swollen body shattered and scattered like ashes.
The only part that remained was his head and even that cracked and soon fell apart.
The broken powder soaked into the rainwater that had accumulated on the floor and became soft as if it had never existed from the beginning.
Mok Gyeong-un who was looking down at this with indifferent eyes opened his mouth.
“If you are awake wake up yourself. old woman.”
-Finch!
At those words the Seonghwa Spirit Lord who was lying down a little away trembled.
She was the one who fainted due to Lee Gwang’s torture but she woke up midway through and heard their entire conversation.
‘Ahriman? How could this happen…..’
She couldn’t contain her astonishment.
Something that could never have happened happened.
The prophecy was originally
-Gooooooo!
“Huh!”
At that time the body of the Holy Spirit rose from the floor.
Her body rose upright and she was soon looking straight at Mok Kyung-un.
When she saw the black energy flowing from her whole body and the obsidian-like eyes she trembled and was at a loss for words.
As she was shocked and didn’t know what to do her neck was lifted and her mouth opened.
“Although you have already left my line you have made good use of the mission given to you. How does it feel to lose that reward?”
At that question Seonghwaryeongju’s eyes widened as if they were about to explode.
Although it might not be clear to anyone else she knew what it meant.
“You all…”
“This is me and that is me too. “You know that old woman.”
“I am….”
“You can’t take everything back by saying the price has already been paid. “I am not a forgiver.”
-dump!
As soon as she finished saying those words Seonghwa Ryeongju knelt down on the floor and fell flat on her face.
Then she cried out to Mok Gyeong-un in a pleading voice.
“If you say you are punishing a crime I will gladly accept it. I couldn’t refuse one. I couldn’t lose what I had left. “It’s the only one for me….ugh!”
She clutched her chest as she spoke.
Her heart was beating so hard that it hurt like being pricked by a needle.
It was so painful that it was even difficult to breathe.
Blood spurted from her mouth as Mok-kyung pretended to grab something with her hand.
“Foot!”
She gasped in agony as her blood spurted out.
“Off.”
“Your petty circumstances are none of my business.”
“Turn it off…please…..”
“Because of your foolishness Jeong lost something he should not have lost and I also suffered the same pain.”
“Save me…”
“You’re talking meaningless. I am no longer a benevolent being. “I will erase everything related to the seed you sowed and the being who played with your cunning tongue…”
-Kwasik!
It was that moment.
Something broke inside Mo Kyung-un’s heart and something revealed itself.
It was Cheongryeong.
‘ah?’
Seonghwa Lord’s eyes trembled as she gasped for breath due to the pain in her heart.
Suddenly the pain stopped.
Could it be that he is showing mercy?
Puzzled she raised her head and saw Mok Gyeong-un staring into empty space.
Why are you doing this?
-….A sentient being what on earth are you?
Cheongryeong who forcibly broke the seal from the wooden doll looked at Mok Kyung-un whose eyes had turned into obsidian and parted his lips.
At her question her obsidian-like eyes became strange.
Cheongryeong’s eyes wavered as he looked at this.
-Those eyes…
She was getting closer and was about to say something.
-Ssssss!
Mok Kyung-un’s eyes which were like obsidian soon returned to their original state.
Then as if he had suffered a severe headache he stumbled around holding her head with one hand and frowned.
Seeing that Cheongnyeong frowned and said.
-What are you doing now? Is it okay?
Mok Gyeong-un slowly raised her head in response to that question.
‘!?’
When her eyes and expression became no different from usual she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Mu Qingyun has clearly become a completely different being just now.
She couldn’t even hear her own voice inside her wooden doll.
So she finally came forward but what on earth was going on?
she asked soon.
-….Are you a sentient being?
In response to her question Mok Gyeong-un silently nodded her head.
-Do you remember what happened just before?
At that question Mok Gyeong-un touched her own forehead.
Then she gave her voice with an expression that seemed incomprehensible.
-That’s strange.
-what?
-I was clearly conscious and I remember but I was speaking and moving against my will.
-You remember?
-…yes.
I remembered it exactly.
She even knew what was said and what the situation was.
She even felt how she was saying those words.
But all of this had nothing to do with her will.
It felt like he did everything as if another being within him shared a body.
‘What on earth?’
For the first time Mo Kyung-un began to have doubts about himself.
There is clearly another presence within her that she was unaware of.
However this feeling was not uncomfortable or foreign; it felt so natural and as if it had been one from the beginning so I couldn’t understand it.
Then Mok Gyeong-un looked at Cheongryeong.
‘What does that feel like?’
Even though it had nothing to do with will it was difficult to forget it in the end because all the emotions and feelings of that moment were shared.
It was closer to a faint feeling of something unknown.
