The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 894 (894/1020)
It was warm.
The feeling of someone gently embracing my back.
Warm and cozy.
It was a feeling of longing that I had felt when I was very young.
no way…?
I try to speak with my eyes wide open.
“uh….”
[Shh.]
A hoarse voice came to my ears and I felt a touch on my lips.
I felt that and shut my mouth.
[Just a moment. Be quiet.]
A gentle voice and a hand brushing through her hair.
His hands gently stroked my hair.
My body becomes stiff.
[kind.]
“…”
Something was rising inside me. I couldn’t react in any way.
In that situation.
“Man-gye.”
The blood demon speaks with a stern expression.
“You must have been in a hurry. You showed up in person, not in the abyss.”
A voice answers the blood horse’s words.
[That kid is very busy. He had a lot of work to do.]
“Ha. Is there anything more important than keeping track of your tracks?”
Trace. My ears perked up at those words.
[Protecting.]
The voice laughed.
[My son is not weak enough for me to protect him.]
I clenched my fist after hearing that.
As expected. The owner of this voice is….
‘mother….’
It seemed like my mother was right.
As I felt at the Shinryongwan last time, my mother was definitely alive.
“How contradictory.”
The blood demon frowns after hearing his mother’s words.
“Considering that you said there was no need to protect me, your current actions are inconsistent.”
[Parents are like that originally. Besides.]
Saaaaah.
The wind blows around my body.
At the same time, a purple aura began to surround my body. A refreshing floral scent filled my nose.
[If you step forward, then it won’t be a fight between kids, it’ll be a fight between adults.]
“…”

[… Dragon Emperor. No, my lord who lost his name a long time ago.]
Woohoo! The voice crushes the sky.
[Don’t keep crossing the line. If you do, I’ll have to scold you.]
It was a refreshing warning.
The blood horse, having heard the warning, strengthens its eyes.
“… It’s the same.”
Ki-ki-ki-ki!
Energy began to gather in his hands.
It was the same as before, but the stomach seemed to be hurting more than before.
“Sun? Where did we ever have something like that in the first place?”
The eyes of the blood demon spitting out words were filled with sincere contempt.
“They are all just chess pieces that play by orders. The same goes for you.”
A red aura gathers in the sky.
“I think someone who gets punished for not even being able to properly do the work assigned to them doesn’t know their place.”
I am being punished. I widened my eyes at the words of the blood horse.
“No matter how noble you are, how far can you protect yourself if you can’t even properly devote yourself?”
Woof.
A bloody sea raged in the sky.
“Try it sometime.”
The blood demon purses his lips and pours out a vast amount of energy onto the floor.
[oh.]
The energy that was gradually approaching was tremendous.
It’s painful to look at. How can I stop it?
Is it possible for a mother to easily stop something like that?
A question arises.
[This isn’t working?]
“…yes?”
I blurted out words without realizing it in a flustered voice.
[I thought it would work somehow… You’re smarter than I thought.]
“What is that…?”
What does this mean?
He looks away with puzzled eyes.
[Eeeeeeeeeem…]
It’s a voice that keeps worrying. This wasn’t the time.
The energy was already pouring down from the sky.
Grit your teeth and gather energy in your body.
Hurrruruk—!!
I remember blocking the power of the blood demon with white flame earlier.
I’m going to try to block it this time using that too.
[no.]
The back of his hand, which had turned into flames, is caught.
[You shouldn’t use that.]
“…but.”
Advertisements
[Don’t worry.]
I felt the touch of my hair again.
[Mom will take care of everything.]
“…”
After hearing that, I unknowingly extinguished the flame.
It was like that in the past too.
A very, very long time ago.
When I was a child, whenever something happened, that’s what my mother always said.
-Don’t worry, son. Mom will take care of everything.
I remember the words and voice that he spoke with a bright smile. I felt like something was about to come up.
I barely managed to control my ragged breathing.
At that moment.
Phew-!!
The purple aura surrounding his body suddenly rose into the sky.
Kwagagagagaga—!!!
The wind blows with the pouring energy.
My eyes grew as big as lanterns at the sight that followed.
The terrible energy was consumed by the purple light and subsided in an instant.
“under-!”
The blood demon sees this and lets out a sound.
“You’re crazy.”
A smile appeared on his face again.
“Are you really crazy? You would break your karma for something like this?”
[Huh? Why?]
The mother said as if she didn’t understand what the blood horse said.
[You broke it too. Why can’t I break it?]
“no.”
The blood demon shook his head. Even though he was watching his own energy drain away, his expression seemed to be positive.
“It’s ridiculous that you’re using the cards you saved just for now. If this keeps up, there’s no way to stop me.”
[You still know one thing and not two.]
The flower of the voice is buried.
That was the feeling I got.
[I didn’t mean to stop you. I just wanted to see our children. And.]
Saaaaahh …
The energy that has consumed the red light flies in and heads towards the blood demon.
The blood horse did not run away even though it saw the energy.
[Our son is much more amazing than you think. So relax.]
“haha.”
The blood demon answered with a wicked laugh.
“As much as you want.”
At the same time, the blood demon’s gaze is next to me. It looks at the Cheonma who is panting for breath.
“I’m sorry for bothering you today, but I’ll definitely come pick you up next time.”

“…go away.”
The horse growled and said.
Hearing that, the blood demon adds:
“As of today, there is no next time.”
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh—!!!
The energy changes form.
It was in the form of a beast.
What kind of beast is it? I think I know what it is, but it’s vague so I’m not sure.
A beast with its mouth wide open catches and swallows a blood horse.
Kwaaaaa–!!
The energy exploded like that. A tremendous amount of wind pressure spread out in all directions.
The energy scattered through the air like pollen.
It was like spring coming in autumn.
I stared blankly at the sight.
How can energy be so beautiful?
In some ways, it resembled the plum blossom sword technique of the volcano. No, it was much more primitive than that.
It’s really a flower.
It didn’t feel like energy, but like real flowers were fluttering.
“…”
Regardless of the situation, one’s gaze is captivated by her beautiful appearance.
I felt fascinated.
As I was absentmindedly gazing at the fluttering flower petals.
Swish-!
Energy rushes towards me.
They gather together in one place and gradually change into a human-like form.
It wasn’t perfect. It really felt like it was just a shape made of flower petals.
It was a head smaller than me and its shape was vague, but I couldn’t say anything as I looked at it.
As I was quietly watching it, the figure raised its hand and waved. It seemed as if it was greeting me.
[Hello, my son.]
My heart sank as I heard the voice.
The flower petals reach out.
Just wrap it around my cheek.
[You’ve grown up well. You’re so cool.]
“…mother.”
[Oh my god?]
The flower petals sway at my words.
[The title is too far, kid. You used to call me mom. Now you’re an adult, huh?]
“…”
It was a voice that sounded somehow divine.
Advertisements
Even while watching that, I couldn’t easily speak.
I don’t even know how to react.
My mother said as she watched me like that.
[Are you an adult?… Yes, you are an adult.]
The voice had become somewhat calmer.
[Was it very difficult?]
My breath shook. Was it my insides that shook? Or… . Was it me that shook? I don’t know for sure, but something shook me greatly.
[Thank you for your hard work.]
“ah….”
[I’m sorry, Mom. I couldn’t protect you until you became an adult.]
My vision was blurry. I wanted to look at it, but it wasn’t easy.
No, it won’t work.
I’m getting older, but this isn’t right.
It’s clearly not possible.
[I’m sorry for being a bad mother. I should have been there for you. I couldn’t.]
The touch of the petals brushes my cheek and hair.
[You’ve really worked hard.]
A warm voice invaded my ears. I couldn’t bear it any longer.
I closed my eyes tightly.
“…no.”
Even in the midst of all this, the hand stroking my head doesn’t stop.
[Sorry.]
I barely managed to bite my lip at the apology I heard.
That’s not what I wanted to say.
The moment I found out that my mother was alive, there were many things I wanted to ask her if I ever saw her again, but I couldn’t ask her a single one.
My mouth wouldn’t open easily.
[son.]
“…yes.”
I answered, forcing myself to stop crying.
Fortunately, his voice did not tremble.
[I want to see my son a little more, but I don’t have much time right now.]
My eyes lit up at those words.
“What is that…?”
[So I’m sorry in advance. Ah, I keep apologizing. This isn’t right.]
He smiles awkwardly.
Then the flower petals began to move.
He frowned at that and said:
“Are you going again?”
Let’s ask, will it just disappear again?
[Hmm… It’s similar, but… .]
Mother gives a somewhat strange answer.
[What should I say about this…? It’s a bit ambiguous.]
“yes…?”
[There isn’t enough time to explain.]
The mother adds hastily.
[This is something even Mom didn’t expect. This wasn’t what I promised the tree… Just think of it as something that happened because my son is so great.]
“What are you talking about…? I don’t quite understand.”
[son.]
“yes.”
[I don’t know about anything else, but remember this one thing.]
“…”

Hwaaaaah-.
Because the movement of the petals that had begun to spread was strange.
Between the leaves that slowly began to cover my vision, my mother spoke to me.
[You must never look for me.]
“yes?”
The flower petals fluttered as if in full bloom.
The problem is.
‘uh…?’
The flower petals didn’t go anywhere, they just covered me.
What is this?
At the moment when I was questioning the sudden situation.
Bam-!
Suddenly, my mind flashed.
**************
On a huge throne, a woman was lying.
He had long white hair that flowed down to the floor, and the surrounding area was filled with unidentifiable white hair.
In that kind of space.
“Hmm….”
The woman opened her eyes, which had been closed. Her eyes, shining like jewels, were filled with light.
She struggles to get up, feeling uncomfortable somewhere. At that moment, someone appears in front of her.
[Master.]
The woman looks languid as she looks at the appearing being.
[Are you okay?]
“…”
The woman did not answer.
I just frowned.
Then the huge balls of fur inside begin to wiggle.
The woman, with an extremely uncomfortable expression, spoke as she looked at the being.
“I think I had a dream….”
No matter how hard I tried to remember, it was all blurry.
“I don’t remember… .”
It probably wasn’t that important.
Judging so, the woman raised her body.
The being who saw it speaks to the woman.
[Master, I have located the location of the bottomless pit.]
At those words, the woman’s perked up ears. Her ears resembled the shape of a beast.
Sleep flies away in an instant. Even the things I was worrying about just a moment ago disappear like a mirage.
The eyes that were open languidly began to regain strength.
The once calm pupils are torn vertically into thin slits.

“Where is he?”
[This is Chilyeongsan Mountain in the west.]
“Let’s go.”
Sleek legs move and the tips of the toes touch the floor.
At that moment, the fur ball behind him quickly moved and decreased in size.
Kukuguguguung–!! It roughly sweeps through the interior and takes shape as if it is being sucked into the woman.
The completed form was surprisingly a tail.
Seven tails listed in white.
The woman walked lightly, sweeping the floor with her tail.
