Episode 30. Heo Gong-rok (9)
It was thoroughly destroyed without leaving a cornerstone behind.
No one lived in the wreckage, and only the corpse was lying everywhere like a scarecrow, becoming a prey for locusts.
sting, sting.
I caught a swarm of locusts and munched on them. The swarm of locusts, which had grown mercilessly fat from human corpses, was the best health food.
It was a familiar sight.
Because it was an aspect of daily life that unfolded after we attacked and wiped out the place that the Demonic Cult had swept away.
sting, sting.
Before I knew it, the sound of this dog-like grass bug became nothing.
In the past, whenever I heard this sound, I think I was pretty depressed.
Daily life of killing, killing, killing again.
Well, I’ve gotten so used to killing that I don’t feel it’s particularly bad. The unit was different from that of the previous life.
At the time when the previous leader of the Murim League killed one person,
Now I, the first Murim Alliance Lord Dan Yoo-seong, have been able to kill dozens or hundreds of people.
and.
As I endured day by day like a ghost, I came up with a fun nickname before I knew it.
Thousands of demons to the Demonic Cult cubs.
For allies, it is a god of battle with thousands of soldiers.
I spit out all the grasshoppers left in my mouth and looked down.
The whole body was stained with blood, and all sorts of weapons called cheonbyeong (千兵) that were wrapped around the whole body were glistening with human oil.
Cheonbyeong-gwi and Cheonbyeong-go.
If you put the two ends together, it is a ghost.
yeah that suits me right now
A demon that kills demons.
“Lord, the cleanup is complete.”
Lee Si-hong, now in his thirties, came up behind me and bowed his head.
Years must have fallen on my face as much as his.
In the meantime, we have been through 28 small battles and fought 13 large wars.
“There will be three days until the cubs come. Rest until then.”
After Lee Si-hong confessed, he left.
But even while everyone was resting, I couldn’t sleep.
Even though my whole body was in pain and dreamy, I couldn’t fall asleep.
The constant thirst and hunger.
My sleep was dry and I was exhausted, as if my mind was about to collapse.
“Quack?.”
When everyone was asleep in the middle of the night, I got up and groaned.
why! why! why me! Why, why are you doing this only to me! f*ck!
At some point, I looked up to the sky and shouted and shouted again.
I wasn’t crazy, but I wanted to go crazy.
Even if I went crazy, I wanted to wake up from this haze.
Unfortunately, it couldn’t be like that in the end, and I just realized deep down in my bones that it shouldn’t be.
Thousands of families who trusted only me and left the Moorim Alliance… … .
Thousands of lives joined one by one to avoid the demons.
and.
The Heavenly Demon, whose face has not yet been confirmed.
Because it was all my responsibility.
If I go crazy, what will I do with them?
but… … .
If I’m not crazy, what will I be?
went out without anyone noticing.
I went away for three days and then came back.
In the meantime, hundreds of other mines have evaporated in the midfield.
The haze has been soothed.
I am a demon who kills demons.
sting, sting.
As always, the sound of grasshoppers soothed my head and hands.
Well, it was a normal day as usual.
● ● ●
While those days continue.
It seems that I have become as strong as the level I dreamed of in the past.
Maybe even stronger than that.
I don’t know if I don’t know, but I must have become stronger than Namgung-geum in my previous life, who is already dead. Perhaps he was stronger than Mamoru Miyamoto, whose memory is now fuzzy.
So are you happy?
haha?. Oh, I’m not laughing because I’m happy.
I just laugh because I have no idea.
I just kept fighting like a habit without thinking.
I continued to laugh while chewing on the heartache of a demon I didn’t know.
Well, now that’s enough reason to live.

Oh, it seems that one thought sometimes intervened in the thought that did not exist.
Time is a nightmare, oblivion is a blessing.
I continued to fight with the rest of my comrades, but all memories faded. My comrades continued to die, and I was sad, but I forgot it again, and I will forget it tomorrow.
Did Namgungeum die yesterday?
is not it. Is the original pole dead?
Oh no. Daemong is dead.
It was fiercely annihilated along with the last remaining Seonseonhyangmundo, probably.
The sound of his hesitation until he dies. If it wasn’t for me, he would have gone to a place like Seo Station and become an inventor. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have died.
“let’s go.”
He stood up from the pile of corpses and said.
But nobody responds.
I looked around.
“Cheuk-.”
I laughed at the battlefield, the brutal battlefield, the banks of the Yangtze River covered in blood and foam.
and… … .
I was alone again.
My heart ached. It wasn’t because of the weather.
● ● ●
Suddenly, when I came back to my senses, another few years had passed.
And I met a face I hadn’t seen in a really long time in the middle of another pile of corpses.
“Sir, it’s been a while.”
“candle… … Rye Hye?”
It’s been a long time, so I didn’t know well.
However, one eye was missing and a scar was drawn on the cheek. Plus, she’s grown so much and so decadent that I couldn’t recognize her until I looked around.
“Yes, I am Choryeohye.”
“Hey, he’s still alive.”
“Hoho, that’s not too far away. Will it all be over soon?”
“but.”
“It’s been a while, right?”
“It must have been twenty-five years since I last saw you on the day of the funeral of the Jegal Lord.”
“… … We were together until then, but I don’t think you remember.”
“huh? when?”
“The day Senpai died. During the Great Crisis in Zhejiang.”
“Oh, is that so? Why can’t I remember?”
“At that time, he cried and cried and cried because he was waiting for Soso until the end. Sasha.”
Gifu guy laughs bitterly and interjects.
“Oh, did you?”
Cho Ryeo-hye leaned her back against the cave wall and smiled.
“Why, do you want to see Chun-senpai?”
do you want to see
“Cheuk? It’s a novel bullshit I haven’t heard in a long time.”
I looked at Cho Ryeo-hye and grinned.
“What if I want to see you?”
“Then I’ll see you soon.”
“Why are you coming here? Whether it’s heaven or hell, it’s going to take you quite a while to jump here.”
“no. Aren’t we going?”
Looking outside, I see the crowd of Demonic Cultists again.
“Because we’ll all meet in the afterlife anyway.”
“Choreo-hye, that and that, even though I’ve gotten older, only the jokes have increased. nice?”
“Hehehehe.”
“Ho-ho-ho.”
We giggled and went out to fight again.
And I couldn’t hear the jokes of Cho Ryeo-hye that I hadn’t heard in a long time.
After the battle, he collapsed from exhaustion.
I felt it was time to rest.
And that day I realized
That now I can’t sleep anymore.
● ● ●
funny.
We turned around and returned to Jeongju.
Only ruins greeted us… … .
Again, funny.
Thanks to the ruins, the eyes of the Demonic Cult have long since left in the old site of the Murimmaeng.
“It turns around and finally it’s here. Kut.”
“I know.”
Gifu bastard and Lee Si-hong survived until then. Even if it’s damn right.
we are old
I used to have gray hair, but Gifu and Lee Si-hong’s hair, which was black as ink, was now gray.
The young and old age is gone, and like this midfielder, middle age has come to us as well. The condition will be closer to old age.
I feel that my mind has become gray as much as my gray hair.
As I sit in the middle-aged body in the ruined Murimmaeng, I suddenly think of him.
Jegal lord.
“You don’t want to see Master?”
“Hehe, man, why is Master coming out to this situation?”
“No, just… … I wondered what would have happened if that nobleman hadn’t died.”
“Okay. I don’t know.”
well, really
well.
Where can there be an answer as accurate as that?
I took out the last remaining cherry tree, put it in my mouth, and smoked it. As much as the smoke I exhaled, my anguish fades away.
I’m sorry, I also remember the drug dealer in Buk-ri.
I wondered what would have happened if he had taken control of the first series of apostles.
After watching such a day, the guy from Gifu snatches the cherry tree from my hand and puts it in his mouth.
“Why are you taking it, dude?”
“Just like when we die, it seems like it’s the last time.”
“Then you die.”
“Hehehe, if it was that easy, I wouldn’t have come this far. Sasha.”
It was.
If only it were that easy… … I couldn’t have come this far.
“Anyway, it seems like I’m going to turn around even if I really stay still. Jimmy.”
“Damn it, I’ll search first.”
“Yes, yes, it doesn’t matter who goes first or who follows later, that’s it. Kuck.”
Several years passed again, and the magnificent fortress of the Moorim Alliance was completed.
and.
“… … Maengju, Jang Danju… … has ascended to heaven.”
Sihong Lee and I survived until then. Even if it’s damn right.
In the old days, it took half a day to dig a grave, but now a pit ten feet deep is made in days.
I dug a little deep, befitting the guy’s size.
A tombstone is created on one sword, and a letter is engraved on one sword.
Where did you throw away the invincible mystic plaque that was attached with blue jade, bastard? It’s precious.
What about a pair of legs?
I put his disfigured corpse deep into the pit.
This time with an axe.
Some of them were covered with pits again.
― Taktap Cheonwangjimyo
King of Tabletop.
Now it’s cool again, our climate guy.
He took a glass and a bottle of wine from Juju’s waist and scattered them around the grave.
And again, I filled a round glass with alcohol.
The ugly face reflected there was smiling. She’s so nasty that it’s unbearable.
The Juju guy whimpers and licks my cheek, but I don’t know why.
I knew it only after pouring the alcohol in at once.
I’m drunk today
That night.
Naturally, sleep did not come.
● ● ●
kept struggling It was a complaint to the world.
The complaints continued, and I wanted to give up.
But I was the leader of the Moorim Alliance, and to the leader… … There was neither the freedom nor the right to give up.
I just struggled with despair every day.
The number of demons flocking to the depth of despair increased day by day.
The siege also became thicker day by day.
The voices calling for abandonment and surrender grew infinitely louder.
Indeed, many surrenderers, ah, are still falling over there.
I glanced over there and tilted the bottle.
“Will it be that easy?”
Lee Si-hong asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Abandoning one’s own people.”
“Aren’t they taking all their families and friends over?”
“It’s family and friends, but is it yours? The comrades who slept next to you or fought together? What about their colleagues? And their families and friends?”
“Didn’t you say you can’t save everyone anyway?”
The moment I heard the question, I felt a sense of déjà vu.
Ah, I asked the same question to Master Requiem in my previous life, maybe?
peek laughs
Now I am giving the same answer.
[mission]
[Kill the Heavenly Demon (time limit: 30 years).]
[Reward upon success: Determined after success]
[Penalty in case of failure: destruction of midfield]
Less than a year left now.
that much.
Lee Si-hong was playing the role I played in my previous life, and now I’m playing the role I played. Looking at it, I can see how much of a joke this is.
It may be different in the small frame, but it was all the more so in the big frame that it was not possible to change a single thing in the end.
I strained my bottle as I watched the new traitors disappear into the distance smiling brightly.
The corners of your mouth twitch as the spicy perfume lingers in your mouth.
“That would be great too, you bastards.”
―Sanghapheo-do. That would be great too, you bastards.
The will of the requiem master I heard in my previous life.
Standing up, he handed Lee Si-hong a carafe that was still dripping with alcohol. This is the only thing Master Requiem didn’t say.
“Please use this for alcohol.”
“… … ?”
Lee Si-hong looked up at him with an expression asking what he was talking about.
I looked down at the last remaining Baekjae and smiled.
“I’m counting on you.”
The 2nd Murim Alliance.
