The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 866 (866/880)
The pond was only big enough to fit five adult men, but it was much larger inside.
A pond filled with gold. My eyes widened as soon as I saw its inside.
The pond’s hidden size is surprising, but it was also filled with something.
It was so big that I couldn’t even see it properly. At first, I wondered what it was.
‘… That’s… .’
It didn’t take long for me to remember what it was. It was a large snake.
A very, very large snake.
Besides, I’ve seen that too.
‘…Isn’t that the snake we met in the commentary of Geumcheon Yeon-ga?’
It had been less than a year since I returned to the past.
The guy I met in the cave I was looking for with Wi Seol-ah.
At first I was scared because I thought it was a monster, but when it started talking, I almost fainted.
‘Is that the guy from back then?’
Could it be the snake I met back then? If so, why is it there doing that?
Judging from his condition, he seemed to have died a long time ago.
‘…furthermore.’
As I looked into the pond, I discovered something else strange besides the snake.
There was something floating inside the pond.
It was roughly the size of a thumbnail and had a round shape.
I immediately used the empty space to pull one out.
It’s a white bead.
‘Isn’t that the same thing I ate?’
The spirit tablet that was brought back after killing an unknown giant. It was the exact same thing.
If so, this would probably be it.
Everything that Gyecheonmunju ate and everything that the dead ones ate were all this guy.
‘Why is this thing wandering around in this pond?’
Why is the snake’s body stuck in the pond and why are there these beads inside?
I couldn’t figure it out. If so.
‘I’ll have to find out.’
I guess I’ll have to find out from now on. I thought to myself as I waved my hand.
“Woop!”
The hardened Gyecheonmunju flies in and rolls on the floor.
I immediately unclogged the bastard’s pus.
“Eh! Ugh… .”

As soon as the blood flowed out, the bastard tried to do something to me. I couldn’t say anything and grabbed his neck.
I even controlled that, fearing that I might bite my tongue and commit suicide.
“I have a lot to ask you.”
Thump-! My heart is pounding.
“But I don’t have time… and there’s something I need to test.”
Swish–!!
“Ugh!”
Magic spurted out through the palm of his hand.
“Let’s just take it easy.”
It covered the entire Gyecheonmun Gate.
******************
As a calm wind blew, the young man who had been sitting opened his eyes.
“Hmm.”
He stretches and lets out a short sound.
“Hmm.”
There was an inexplicable joy in his voice. At the same time, he opened and closed his hands several times.
“Not bad. You’ve had a hard time.”
“no.”
The young man, the woman kneeling at the blood horse’s horse answers.
Hearing the answer, the blood demon slowly got up from his chair.
His appearance was quite different from a while ago.
His limbs were weak and he looked like he was still alive.
Now he was back in good physical condition.
“At this level… I think I can use it a little.”
The blood demon smiles as if satisfied.
It was a body that couldn’t even withstand a third of the desired intensity.
It’s better now, perhaps because I overused the offering a little.
If it’s a bowl of this size… .
Oh, okay. It’s hard to compare it to the main body, but if we simply compare it to the past, it’s probably about the same.
Thinking of that, the blood horse takes a step forward.
“What’s the situation?”
“…I have finished preparing as you said.”
“I like it.”
“but.”
At the dancer’s words, the blood horse looks at her.

“What should the Holy King do…? He has not given any specific instructions, so we are waiting.”
“The Holy King? Ahh… .”
Blood Horse nodded as if he had remembered it belatedly. Yes, that was the nickname.
“Leave that kid alone.”
“yes?”
The dancer opened her eyes.
“It means that whatever you do, don’t worry about it. Rather, I want you to keep moving like that.”
“However….”
“Hmm?”
The blood horse nods its head at her words.
At that gaze, the dancer immediately bowed her forehead deeply.
“…sorry.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
The blood horse looks straight ahead again, smiling.
I know why the dancer says that.
The strange events continued.
The sudden appearance of an unexpected being causes the plan to change, and a situation unfolds that is completely different from what the Blood Demon had expected.
Because of that, the dancer seems worried.
‘Good.’
Blood Horse was rather happy now. It was a series of strange events that even he himself was unaware of, and that even the world was unaware of.
I thought that the unexpected would never happen again.
It was really fun.
Look at it now.
‘Something has changed.’
The blood demon felt that the air had changed in the moment he closed his eyes.
What could it be? I didn’t think about it for long.
‘It’s you again.’
That’s the kid.
The dagger of the world that was left behind to create an opening for rebellion.
‘I wonder what fun things will happen this time.’
What did you do to deserve this?
‘Is the world angry?’
The blood horse licked his lips as if to hide a smile.
At the same time, I stopped walking and looked up at the sky. It was blocked by the ceiling so I couldn’t see it, but the blood demon knew.
“If you don’t like it that much, then at least get involved.”

Drag drag.
The blood horse stopped and started walking, he knew full well that there would be no answer anyway.
One, the change has already begun and there is no turning back.
The blood horse felt this and smiled.
The time has come. Or perhaps it has passed?
“Dancer.”
“yes.”
“I must go see my precious daughters.”
“…!”
The dancer’s body trembled greatly at the blood horse’s words. This was because she realized what he meant.
“… Which way do you plan on going first?”
“Hmm… Well.”
The blood demon, who had been thinking for a moment, said:
“first.”
The face of the blood demon that speaks like that.
“I’m hungry, so I need to get my energy back first.”
He had a creepy, scary smile.
****************
The space is the same as before. The location hasn’t changed at all.
And the same place I was standing.
But nothing has changed.
I was looking at something with my eyes lowered.
This is the pond from earlier.
A pond dyed in gold. I looked to the side to see it.
“… Heh… Heh…”
A thin and worn-out looking old man. The head of the Gyecheonmun clan is kneeling and shaking his head.
He looks like he’s slightly out of his mind.
It’s been a long time since I saw anything like that in my eyes.
I couldn’t see any resentment or despair as he looked at me.
It looks like not only the body but even the soul has disappeared.
I moved my hand when I saw that.
Kwajik-!!
Fur stone.
His head was crushed by the punch and he fell to the ground. It was an instant death.
“…”
Advertisements
He made a face without even wiping the blood off his hands. He had already found out all the information he needed.
How did this group called Ilcheongyo come into being? What were they doing here?
Also, what was their purpose?
What I wanted to know through the mouth of the Heavenly Guardian has finally been figured out.
“… I’m going to go back.”
Even after hearing all that, I still couldn’t easily understand.
It’s not a matter of circumstance.
I understand all that. Just that.
The last words spoken by the Gyecheonmunju are still relevant.
I looked back. It was where the Dark King was.
Namgungbia and Wisulah also look surprised. Was it a problem that they didn’t send them outside and instead listened to them together? Or was it because they saw me use magic to make Gyecheonmunju look strange?
As for me, I showed it to you on purpose. It’s something I can’t hide forever.
Up until now, my intention was to show you little by little what kind of person I am.
The problem is.
‘Something bigger than that happened.’
I just heard something even more shocking than what I showed you.
That’s the fault. Even though they’re both like that.
‘The Dark King… .’
That was the reason why the Dark King had such a blank expression.
It was difficult to figure out what he was thinking or feeling because the Dark King’s face did not show anything, but the current Dark King’s emotions were very clear.
perplexity.
And horror.
It was a face the Dark King had never seen before.
‘… Of course.’
If it were the Dark King’s situation, I would understand. How could it not be otherwise?
The location of this place, the events that took place, and even the last words spoken by the head of the Gyecheonmun Gate.
If I were the king, my reaction would have been worse than that.
‘How on earth?’
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it, so I keep chewing on it.
But, no matter how much I chewed, I still couldn’t understand.
It had to be that way.
Anyone would have done that.
“Tsk.”
He frowned and recalled his last conversation with the Lord of Gyecheonmun.
-So, who the hell planned this?
Advertisements
-… .
There’s no way I planned it alone.
There must have been someone behind him. I asked him about this, and the Gyecheonmunju grumbled for a while before telling me.
-…Day.
-what?
The sound is too quiet. I brought my ear close to it with my eyebrows furrowed.
Only then did I hear the whispers of the Heavenly Guardian.
-…Yeonilcheon.
-…!
I frowned when I heard that. What the hell is this?
-Why is that gentleman’s name suddenly mentioned? He must have been dead for hundreds of years.
He should have only spoken the truth, but Gyecheonmunju was talking nonsense. Hearing that, I was dumbfounded and asked back.
-What, are you even alive?
To my question, Gyecheonmunju said:
-That’s right.
-…what?
-Yeon… Ilcheon… is… alive.
Everyone around him froze at Gyecheonmunju’s answer.
