The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 864 (864/880)
Whoosh whoosh.
I squinted my eyes at the slowly burning flame.
No, can I call this a firework? It was such a random color.
“what?”
It’s white. It’s so white that you can’t tell if it’s snow or fire just by looking at the color.
Moreover, the way it bloomed was somehow different.
Slowly. Also, as if shaking. It’s hard to explain in detail, but it’s quite different from the rough and fierce flames that I usually produce.
Should I say it’s soft and gentle?
“…”
I tried making a fist.
Hwaruk-! The aura that had bloomed on my body disappeared. I get the feeling. If I wanted to, I could bloom, and it seemed possible to maintain my original body.
‘Is this Daesung?’
This is the greatness of the Nine-Year-Old Man.
Could this be the feeling of becoming one with the flame that my father spoke of?
‘It feels strange.’
This is also difficult to explain.
However, I could vaguely understand what it meant to become a flame on its own. It was literally true.
Whoosh whoosh.
When I originally used the Nine Flames Fire Lun Gong, I used the concept of lighting a flame.
There was no need to bother trying to light anything now.
“…hmm.”
It was a feeling of incomprehension from beginning to end. However, it wasn’t uncomfortable.
Rather, it was good. I tried hard to suppress the laughter that was about to come out of me at the feeling of elation.
The sensation I hadn’t been able to capture at that time was completely embedded in my body.
I feel full of a seething excitement that makes me feel like I can do anything.
The problem is.
‘Why is it white?’
Why did the color change out of the blue now? If it’s Daesung’s fault, my father’s flame is a red flame.
I don’t know why my flame changed again.
‘Just how much stronger have you become?’
Now that I have reached Daesung, there must have been changes in my level, but I have not properly grasped this part.
furthermore.
“are you okay…?”
It wasn’t even time to figure that out.

He takes care of the two people who were lying face down on their knees.
In particular, I had to take care of the stubborn, weary Weeseul-ah.
“Why are you crying? What is it?”
Why is she sobbing like this? I tried to comfort her, but then, bang! Wi Seol-ah hugged me again.
“Huh… Huh… .”
“…no.”
What should I do about this? After much thought, I ultimately decided on one course of action.
He raised his hand and patted the back of Wi Seol-ah’s head.
Let’s calm down first. I think so and speak.
“Calm down first….”
“I can’t… hit you… . Hehe… . I can’t… .”
“…”
Hearing Wiseol-ah’s words, he froze the hand that had been stroking him. What could he possibly not hit? He thought for a moment, but quickly came up with an answer.
‘this….’
I guess something happened when I lost consciousness.
He turned his gaze away from Wi Seol-ah and looked at Namgung Bia.
She wasn’t crying like a fool, but she looked more dazed than usual.
Our eyes meet.
“…”
“…”
There was no particular word. I looked into Namgungbia’s eyes and realized what she wanted.
Let’s look at that and wave our hands in the air a little.
Namgungbia comes into my arms as if she had been waiting for me.
Kuk. I felt someone grab my collar tightly.
“…sorry.”
I don’t know what happened.
I couldn’t remember. But I knew I was wrong.
Time passes by with only apologies barely being offered.
I felt the strength drain from the hands that were holding me, as if the two of them had calmed down a bit.
Only then did I look around calmly.
‘… It’s a mess.’
There was a mess everywhere, especially in the corner, where something was gasping for breath.
‘Gyecheonmunju?’
The transformed Gyecheonmunju was sitting in a corner, barely able to breathe.
It looks like it’s brave to be alive.

‘… I don’t think it was the kids who did it.’
Given their personalities, they probably wouldn’t have been able to ruin it that drastically. I think that was something I did too.
‘What did you do?’
How can something be broken and twisted like that? It’s amazing.
The good news here is.
‘The kids weren’t seriously hurt.’
The children’s physical condition is almost the same as before I lost consciousness.
That was the best luck.
If anything had been broken when I opened my eyes.
‘…’
I didn’t really want to imagine it.
‘For now….’
What should I do from now on? Rather than trying to figure out my physical condition after reaching Daesung, I decided to start with that.
Turn your head here and there. While moving your gaze like that.
Towering.
I saw something and had to freeze in place.
‘That’s…?’
I saw a tree towards the back of the room. Was it there before?
‘There was something like that, why didn’t I notice it?’
If it had been there, I should have noticed it a long time ago. Now that I see it, I wonder if I’m the only one who sees it, so I immediately asked Namgungbia.
“Do you see that?”
Namgungbia turns her head at my gesture.
“…huh….”
The tree doesn’t seem to be an illusion. If so.
“…Was it there from the beginning?”
“Yeah… from the beginning.”
“Hmm.”
It was there from the beginning. It would be more correct to say that I was unaware of it.
‘You didn’t realize that something so strange was happening?’
If it was normal, I wouldn’t know. How could I not know something like that?
I got up. The two people I was hugging had expressions of regret, but I ignored them and walked towards the tree.
It’s small. It’s a tree close to a sapling.
But.
‘The leaves.’
The leaves on the bare branches are strangely white.
Advertisements
As if, like the fire I was spewing out. Or.
‘The appearance of Wi Seol-ah… is similar to the state of Gye Cheon-mun-ju.’
There was something strangely foreign about just saying it was white. It didn’t make sense for the tree to look like this in the first place.
One, I wasn’t surprised.
‘Because I have experience with that.’
I’ve already seen it once.
How could I forget? It was Sacheon at that time.
Maybe when.
‘When looking for the commentary on Geumcheonyeon-ga.’
At that time, in the space that Wi Seol-ah had found for me, there was a tree just like this.
Of course, the size is a world apart. Back then, the trees were so big that they could almost be called old trees.
‘What the heck is this?’
What I saw then was that the space disappeared and the trees disappeared along with it.
What on earth is this tree?
Just by looking at it, you can tell that it’s not an ordinary tree. But what on earth is it?
‘Is this the feeling it gives off?’
Energy that cannot be felt from just trees.
Divinity? Or wonder.
I was feeling those emotions from the tree.
‘And this.’
I turned my head and looked at Wi Seol-ah.
‘It’s similar to what I felt faintly from Wi Seol-ah.’
Could it be a complete illusion? I thought not.
I didn’t know it then, but I know now. How did Wi Seol-ah figure out Bigo’s location at that time?
Also, why do I feel like this tree and the wisteria are similar?
‘There is something related.’
For some reason, this and Wisul-ah were related, and that is what I mean.
‘Is it possible that Wi Seol-ah and Yeon Il-cheon are related?’
It was a situation that could not be understood otherwise.
‘How on earth?’
If there is a connection, how does it exist?
Plus.
‘What the heck is this place?’
What was the Gyecheonmunju up to here and what was that strange appearance of that guy? There was a lot to find out.
Then, let’s take a look at this tree first. Thinking like that, I reach out and lightly touch the leaves.

With that intention, I put my fingertips on the leaf.
At that moment.
Saaaa …
“huh?”
“uh…?”
The still tree began to move. The branches moved as if dancing, and the leaves swayed along with it.
There was no wind at all. This was an underground, sealed space. There was no way the wind could blow.
“What is this?”
Is something wrong? Just as I was about to fall from the tree.
Pass.
Leaves fall from the swaying branches.
I widened my eyes as I watched it.
The leaves may fall, but they don’t just fall to the ground.
The leaves that fell from the branches did not fly to the ground, but towards my body.
Moreover, it wasn’t attached to my body, but was circling in the air around me, drawing a circle.
“… What.”
What the hell is this? I tried to say something like that, but before I could open my mouth, the leaves reacted again.
Bam–!!
The leaves that had been turning suddenly stopped moving and fell apart, scattering like dust.
The leaves floating in the air sparkled and looked like fireflies.
What are you trying to do? I was watching this while keeping my guard up.
Saaaaaaaahh …
“…!”
The shards of light moved in an instant and dug into my body.
It was so fast that I couldn’t even resist.
By the time I noticed, all the leaves had already been absorbed into my body.
“…crazy….”
I shook myself off in a hurry. Why did this happen out of the blue?
What the hell did you just eat? No, should I say that you forced it into your mouth?
I look at my body nervously, not knowing what changes might occur.
[Ah… No… No…!!!]
A screaming voice is heard from behind.
When I turned my head, it was Gyecheonmunju, who was almost dead.
In that short period of time, the Lord of Gyecheon looks at me and shouts with bloodshot eyes.
[You bastard… Inoooooooo—!!!! How dare you, how dare you perform His miracles…!!!]
Why is that old man suddenly acting up when he was just lying there quietly?
He was so angry that he forced himself to get up, his body still not fully recovered.
Advertisements
[I can’t forgive you… I can’t forgive you… This, this is our plan-!!! Aaaah-!!]
Boom-!! It stomps on the ground and jumps towards me.
I narrowed my eyes at that.
Wi Seol-ah and Namgung Bia also reacted, but I was faster than them.
It’s a good thing, since I was planning on killing him anyway.
I clenched my fist. At that moment, my body changed.
Hwarururuk-!! My hand was engulfed in flames.
I feel the heat and just throw my fist.
Thump-!
My heart is pounding. It feels different than usual.
‘uh?’
What is this? It feels strange. But the movement did not stop.
The fist extends in a straight line along the shoulder.
It was no different than usual. It was just the same feeling as using Guyeomtae-ah.
Hwaaaa …
My heart was pounding like crazy.
Baekyeon shook calmly.
A wolf with raging teeth.
Kwaaaaah—!!!
White flames engulf the Gyecheonmunju.
[Kkaaa …
The Gyecheonmunju screamed in the intense heat. The flames pierced through him and headed towards the wall, even melting the wall as if to show off its heat.
This is truly a tremendous heat.
At this point, I thought it would melt everything down to the bones.
but.
Hwaaaaaaaaaa—!!!
Just after the flames died down, I had to squint my eyes at the sight before me.
“Huh?”
As if to demonstrate its power, the flames melted the wall and created a large hole.
The actual state of the Gyecheonmunju was the same.
It doesn’t look like there’s any damage. What is this? Did it hold out?
‘That can’t be true.’
The power just now was so amazing that even I was surprised. The increased firepower after consuming the White Horse Stone was completely real.
So there’s no way I could be that normal…?
I looked at the Gyecheonmunju because something seemed wrong.
[Ugh… Ugh… This… This is… .]
The lord of Gyecheonmun staggers and falls to his knees for a moment.
It’s not strange. It’s only natural that he collapsed like that when his physical condition was a mess.
Advertisements
[Ah… No… No… .]
Wood crunch.
“hmm?”
Not long after, a change began to occur in the fallen Gyecheonmunju.
Dduk… dduk dduk—!!
[Ugh, ugh…]
“what.”
A large, gradually shrinking body appears, accompanied by a harsh sound.
His white hair was slowly turning black, and the scales on his skin and even his eyes were returning to their original appearance.
It means that the monster is changing into a human.
Crunch…!!
Before he could even count to ten, Gyecheonmunju had returned to his original form with a look of despair on his face.
“This… . This, this… How… ? Ah, no… . I said it won’t work!!”
I rub my face with my hands as if I can’t believe it.
Then he saw me and came crawling towards me.
“Give it back… . Give it back… . Please give it back… .”
“…”
It’s a crazy sight.
As if he had lost something that should not have been lost, Gyecheonmunju screamed at me to return it.
“…haha.”
I laughed when I saw that guy.
It’s not because the appearance of the Gyecheonmunju is funny.
It was because what just happened was so new.
The Gyecheonmunju was already out of sight.
I raised my hand and looked at the flame. The white flame was still burning.
I wondered what had changed. It seems like this was the cause.
‘This power….’
The power of flame I just used.
After using it, I realized what it was.
This is it.
‘I think it’s similar to a perm?’
Break the devil.
It is the power that Shingeom used in his previous life.
The reason she was able to fight against Cheonma and save the world.
I think that happened to me too.
