Episode 286 With the mindset of my older brother.
I guess there will never be another trip this long again.
Every day was filled with unfamiliar scenery and food I had never tried. There were times when I walked all day until the sun set, and on days when the wind was cool, I even walked all night.
There were days when I got drenched in the early morning rain and had to take refuge in a guesthouse.
Often, when we saw a lake, we would play by throwing stones, then prepare for camping and go swimming at night when the moonlight was bright. Anyway, since I was planning on fighting in the club, I had the mindset to adapt to the material in advance.
It’s fun to eat at a nice restaurant, but I’ve also become accustomed to jumping into the lake, catching fish, and catching wild animals and grilling them.
Our journey became more and more special in itself, as if we had cut off a part of our lives and put a sign saying ‘travel’ on it.
So, am I going to kill the First Apostle?
Or are you just enjoying the trip?
Strangely, I forgot about martial arts training and fortune-telling for a moment. My anxiety disappeared, I forgot my loneliness for a moment, and I let go of my hatred for a moment just by looking at the nameless mountains, rivers, and trees.
Without even looking at the road properly…
we kept heading east.
It doesn’t matter if the sea comes out like this. After seeing the sea, we can go back to Dongho.
I gave my enemies and allies enough time.
Who on earth is coming to kill me?
Who will come to help me?
At some point, I actually didn’t care. This is what I think the meaning of this fight is.
I hope that even people who don’t know me will remember the fight that takes place in Dongho.
Why did that guy named Hao Wenzhou fight?
Why is the guy called Hao Wen-ju trying to kill the number one apostle?
It is important for others to know the reason, but success or failure is simply a matter of luck.
I moved forward with the mindset of my older brother.
Thanks to the demon demon’s scary expression and the sword demon’s heavy atmosphere, we couldn’t find anyone being rude to us along the way.
If it had been a journey just me and Saekma, dozens of people would have already been beaten to death. Even when we encountered a group of unknown powerful sects, the road was wide open without even saying common greetings to each other.
It seemed like the other person had no intention of fighting, so we went on our way without saying a word or showing any emotion.
Will the four major evildoers grow?
You never know.
However, something that had been suffocating us became somewhat loose. It was only after it was released that I realized it was tight, so it was a narrow-mindedness that I wouldn’t have known about if I hadn’t traveled.
When forty days passed by as lightly as the wind.
I realized that my body was in much better shape than before. It feels like the body is recovering and regenerating by eating, sleeping, resting, and playing.
I had the pleasant feeling that my physical condition had gone up a notch.
It wasn’t intentional, but…
does this mean that playing and eating is the eternal truth?
I realized firsthand that training against a wall is not the best way to become stronger.
So, am I finally free from the situation of a crazy monkey? Actually, it didn’t matter now whether I was a crazy monkey or not.
* * *
Dongho Lake is a place where strange rocks, strange stones, and strange waterways mix. As soon as I arrived, it was so spacious that I had no idea where I could go to meet Sado First Person. There was a rocky island beyond the water, and beyond the rocky island there was water, and small boats were leaving with people on board, and there were many people who could not tell whether they were strongmen or sailors.
If you turn your head, a lake that looks like an ocean stretches out.
Looking to one side again, a busy street that did not seem to be Dongho was formed along the lakeside.
As soon as I arrived, what I felt was…
How could I have heard of the first sword in this large area? I felt as if I had arrived at an independent powerhouse.
The color demon said.
“If I were the best sword here, I would be no different from a king.”
The demon said while looking around.
“That’s right. “It looks like we arrived before the war-declaring visit.”
I shook my head.
“Is that really true? “We were so late.”
There were so many people that our shoulders passed. The scary face of the Demon Demon and the heavy atmosphere of the Sword Demon had no particular effect in the crowd. It was such a noisy mess that conversations with the people next to me were drowned out.
Food, clothing, street performances, touts, people who originally lived there, people who came to see it, and people who had no idea what they were doing were mixed together, creating a chaotic street. First we needed to get used to the hustle and bustle.
But before I could get used to the unfamiliar scenery, I heard a loud voice from somewhere.
“Hao Wen Ju!”
I stopped and looked up at the rooftop of a building. The man I had never seen before was staring straight at me, and as soon as the man with the loud voice finished shouting, the once busy street became surprisingly quiet.
“….”
A state of silence to the point of admiration. Passersby stopped and looked at us, and four or five out of ten people left the area at a brisk pace. However, while quite a few people were watching us, we could feel life in the windows of various buildings and on the roofs of the alleys.
The color demon was impressed.
“Wow…what is it?”
Even though we didn’t speak, we stood and looked around in a wary manner. I heard a voice from somewhere.
“…Have you arrived now? “It’s taking a damn long time.”
At this level, it means that they took control of the entire unnamed downtown area and waited for me.
I looked around with a bewildered expression and said.
“…Did this idiot have this many subordinates? “I am Hao Wen Zhou.”
As soon as I finished speaking, military flags were drawn here and there, and the sound of hundreds of swords being drawn at the same time was scary, as I had never heard it before.
“Wow you crazy bastards.”
Are there people who are this brave yet reckless? There were as many enemies glaring at us as the gap between my will and the mindset of Apostle Jeilin.
I spoke to my enemies.
“It’s ridiculous.”
It was so quiet that my words came out clearly.
“I said I would have a one-on-one match with the First Apostle, so guide me. Are you all going to die right here?”
Laughter spread from all directions, and we, except the Sword Demon, also joined in the laughter.
“Hahahaha….”
I suddenly noticed a man raising his hand at the window of a three-story building. The man’s hand dropped and the command was given.
“Kill it.”
Memorization poured in from all directions without a single person running towards it.
How do I stop this?
I pour out a long wind infused with Zanwol Ice Ball at the front. As soon as it was confirmed that each demon, color demon, and sword demon responded with a long wind, they soared into the air and rushed to the building of the man who had given the order. As soon as he pulled out the wooden sword in the air, he tore open the window diagonally, entered the large room at once, and sprayed the sword energy infused with the wooden world in front of him.
As soon as he pulled out his sword and saw who was responding, he rushed forward and struck the man’s lower body with the force of his chair, then hurled out his wooden sword and pierced the man’s neck.
I couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised when I realized that the commander was not a very capable person.
When I came back to the shattered window and looked at the chaos, the silence disappeared and I heard screams. The Demon Demon was charging while swinging his sword, and the Color Demon was running wild with both hands stained white.
Meanwhile, the Sword Demon was smiling.
It’s as if they are happy that their boring daily life is gone.
I looked at the people dying in the chaos with a smiling face.
“Anyway, you foolish bastards…”
As soon as I saw the meme flying towards me again, it leapt up into the air again from the broken window. After cutting off the head of the person who was looking down at me from the rooftop, I arrived at the rooftop and was able to see the battlefield situation at a glance.
“….”
The people who had been lying in ambush on every rooftop finally got up here and there and were jumping over the rooftops while launching a light attack. It was a bizarre scene, as if a swarm of colorful locusts was swarming from the roof.
It was confirmed through the grasshopper subordinates that the first apostle was not an ordinary man.
Also, seeing that some of the outfits were uniformly black, I knew that an entire assassination group or sect had been hired. I thought they were going to be underlings or enemy soldiers traveling on ships, but I was wrong.
Those who came to die were so consumed with life that they could not communicate.
For a preliminary battle, it was bloody.
They probably didn’t think they could kill us to this extent. It felt like an attack aimed at suppressing the momentum. I cut the upper bodies of those floating in the air between buildings with my sword. Even as the corpses, cut in two, fell to the floor, a lot of memorization poured out from behind, so I had no choice but to jump up and down.
At that moment, the guy who was jumping nearby threw the sack of artillery into the air, and yellow powder spread in the sky.
‘That’s shit.’
You can’t believe they sprayed poison so openly… As
soon as enemies from different affiliations drank the yellow powder, they ran towards me and collapsed. I held my breath as I ran through the building, cutting off the arms and torsos of those who got in my way.
Suddenly, an evil laugh rang out from underneath the building.
It looks like he’s completely gone crazy.
Since my enemies seemed to have no fear, I deliberately and cruelly killed them. He grabbed the head, threw it down the building, split it in half while standing up, and threw a flame attack at the people who were swarming on the rooftop like a swarm of ants, blowing them up in one blow.
I also have no back.
I caught them all and killed them regardless of whether their strength had hit the bottom or not. After brutally killing more than twenty people, the psychological situation on the rooftop changed and the guys were seen slowly running away. I deliberately chased only those who ran away and cut off their arms. When they cut off the arm without killing it, the screams that began to rise one after another stimulated the nerves of those who were prepared to die.
I completely forgot about the situation underneath the building.
This is because memorization was mainly poured from the top of the building.
I left the mess on the floor to three people and started organizing the wires on the rooftop. Occasionally, there were people who were strong enough to block my sword, but even they could not block my attacks more than three or four times.
Sometimes those who resisted fiercely were quickly killed by pressing down with internal attacks.
At some point, I heard a crunching sound under my feet. As I moved from rooftop to rooftop, I found myself stepping on a puddle of blood. My pants and shoes were stained with blood.
After slaughtering everyone on the rooftop, I hung my bloody shoes on the railing and watched the situation below.
The corpses lay grotesquely like fish.
Some buildings were collapsed and some bodies stood frozen. One guy flew horizontally from one part of the building and hit the wall on the other side, his head exploding.
puck!
From there, a demon with blood all over his body walked out.
The Demon Demon was looking at his torn clothes, and the Sword Demon was looking around in a clean state without any wounds or blood.
How many people died?
I looked at the three people on the roof and said.
“It’s shit from the beginning.”
When the devil smiled brightly with a bloody face, his white teeth were revealed.
“Did you think these bastards would be this intimidated by us?”
The demon said calmly.
“There were a lot.”
The Sword Demon looked up at me and said:
“Come down. “Let’s eat something.”
“Let’s do that.”
I guess I would have to wait for my next opponent with these corpses. I ran to where the bodies were stacked on top of each other.
There was a pop sound and a little blood spurted out from where I fell. It didn’t mean much, but I brushed off the blood on the wooden sword and then put it back in.
Suddenly, I took a deep breath and the smell of blood and fish mixed together filled my nose.
It was a great stench.
If the Four Great Evils and the First Apostle start a fight, this is how bad the smell should be.
The demon said.
“There were no particularly great experts. They are hired people. “Ronin and Salsu were mixed together.”
The color demon kicked the corpse lying at the entrance of the guesthouse, opened the entrance, and spoke to the sword demon.
“Master, please come this way. “Please feel free to start with your neck.”
I spoke after looking at the table where the demon was going to sit.
“You shit.”
“why?”
“Don’t touch me.”
There were snacks and drinks on the table, but they looked clean and untouched. There were lots of places and places around, but I had a feeling that it would be full of things that would kill people while eating them.
The demon said with a frown.
“Is it poisonous?”
“You can’t drink here.”
I felt thirsty too, but what we got here was the smell of blood, dead fish, and bad dung flies. The smell and blood were engraved on our bodies, branding us as uninvited guests from outside.
We walked on our way, pretending to be uninvited guests. As we gathered back together and walked, the demon looked at me.
“Are we continuing to advance?”
“As you go, you will see someone giving you water. Are they all enemies? let’s go.”
Suddenly, the Sword Demon, who was breathing heavily, looked ahead and said.
“I can finally breathe a little better. It’s like…”
I answered, taking over the trail of Sword Demon’s words.
“I feel like I’ve arrived home.”
A feeling of joy enveloped my entire body, as if the fur on my body stood on end.
