<Episode 245: Unintentional Companionship. (1)
bang
Boom!
Hwangbo Cheok’s body rolls on the floor with all its might, destroying everything around it.
“Eww…!”
A huge body nearly eight feet tall rolled helplessly on the floor.
The damage was not insignificant.
Meanwhile, Hwang Bo-cheok, who was rolling on the floor, groans while wrapping his arm that was injured last time.
The arm that was injured in the fight with Guyangcheon last time hasn’t fully healed yet.
“Ugh… gasp…
Leaving behind Hwangbo Cheok, who was groaning in pain.
Goyangcheon took a chair that was lying around and sat down.
I was sitting with my legs roughly crossed and looking at Hwangbo Cheok.
Hwangbo Cheok looks at Guyangcheon with trembling eyes.
“•••How could you… .”
“Are you surprised that I came?”
The nodding look really suits you.
The atmosphere felt along with the gaze looking down on others exudes a different class.
Hwangbo Cheok had to bite his lip because he felt like he was avoiding that gaze for a moment.
How on earth did this guy find his way here?
how?
Clang.
Next to Hwangbo Cheok, who was filled with doubts.
Something fell and rolled over.
Hwangbo Cheok had to swallow his breath after confirming the identity of the object.
‘What the heck… How did it end up in that guy’s hands?’
The object is none other than the Hwangbo family’s seal.
It was slightly charred and looked a little different from its original appearance.
It was definitely the seal of the Hwangbo family.
“Is this something familiar?”
Hwangbo Cheok’s back trembles at the words that Guyangcheon blurted out.
I had to try to control my expression somehow.
“•••I don’t know what you’re talking about. How do you have this?”
“I don’t know what it is?”
“I know the seal of the Hwangbo Se family very well.”

“Yes, that’s the gift you sent me yesterday.”
At Guyangcheon’s words, cold sweat gathered on Hwangbo Cheok’s shoulders.
That’s what I mean.
‘Did the six elders get hurt?’
For a moment, I thought that maybe the elders had been persuaded.
I immediately corrected my thoughts.
‘•••The six elders must have reached the state of Hwagyeong.’
Although he reached a state of ruin in his later years.
But as a reward for his efforts, he was given the position of elder.
He has been active in the Central Plains for several decades under the name of Hwangbo.
He was a warrior who survived and endured even in the darkest underworld of the Central Plains.
He is a warrior who has reached the state of Hwagyeong after living the life of a dark man who finds it difficult to raise his level.
How could that be possible?
Hwangbo Cheok slowly met Guyangcheon’s gaze.
One had to immediately avert his gaze.
I see the bright red eyes through the gap in the shadowy face.
It was because an unknown fear rose to the tip of my throat.
What the hell is this thing?
How can I give off this feeling to that little kid?
My mind goes blank.
I’m trying hard to calm my trembling pupils.
Gu Yangcheon opened his mouth to Hwang Bo-cheok.
“I didn’t think we were close enough to exchange gifts.”
A voice that sounds like it’s being struck down.
In the ambiguous voice between a boy and a young man.
It’s really hard to live a life that pretends to be calm and indifferent.
This is not something I say on purpose.
Hwangbo Cheok could tell that it was the energy that the child had from the beginning.
Trying hard to ignore those gazes.
I moved my trembling throat.
“•••What… I don’t know what you’re talking about… .”
“Tzu uh,•
When Hwangbo Cheok stopped talking, Guyangcheon clicked his tongue briefly.
Bam!
“Ugh!”
Advertisements
After that, Hwangbo Cheok was unable to dodge the flying kick and rolled on the floor once more.
I try to get up quickly.
thud!
“Ugh!,,
Goyangcheon stomped on Hwangbo Cheok’s chest, immobilizing his body.
‘•••I bet… it won’t move?’
I instinctively tried to resist by raising the bet.
For some reason, my danjeon is frozen hard as if it were a rock and I have no intention of moving it.
Are you saying that with this short movement, you have blocked all of the energy flowing through your body?
“Is it a characteristic of these kids to pretend not to know at all times? Why do they keep doing useless things?”
“Ugh… .”
“Anyway, there’s not a single one of these so-called famous kids that’s normal. How is it that they’re all getting more and more rotten?”
It was a tone of speech that even the person himself was not aware of being famous.
Kwuk.
“Crunch…!”
My chest feels like it’s going to break as the pressure on my feet grows stronger.
Hwangbo Cheok looked beyond the barracks while feeling extreme pain.
While Goyangcheon was hiding here.
Even though there was quite a bit of noise going on.
No one was coming near the barracks.
‘Is this amazing…?’
There was a high probability that a curtain had been spread around the area to block the sound from escaping.
If not that.
‘•••They were all killed.’
While wondering if that could really be the case.
Looking at the bastard’s eyes and aura, it was difficult to be certain that it was not true.
Who would have thought that he could exude such a thick murderous aura?
“Why did you do that?”
Gu Yangcheon asked.
It is not a question or confirmation.
It was a question asked with confidence.
‘Are you really saying that Elder Yuk is dead?’
Is this guy really saying that he killed a person who had reached the level of Hwagyeong?
While Hwangbo Cheok was unable to say anything.
Gu Yang-cheon continued talking while looking at Hwang Bo-cheok.

“This isn’t the first or second time I’ve experienced something like this. It’s been a while so it’s a bit annoying.” Q,,
“Look at that expression? What are you thinking so intently about?”
“•••How… . will you save me?”
Stop.
Guyangcheon’s eyes widen slightly at Hwangbo Cheok’s words.
And a smile appeared on his lips.
“You’re not as stupid as I thought, are you?”
It’s a face of some kind of satisfaction.
The malice in that smile was so palpable that it made me feel suffocated.
What the heck.
‘What the heck is that thing I’m facing?’
The thoughts that had spread out pure white are now gradually turning black.
It goes without saying that the reason for this is fear.
Swish.
The foot that was trampling on my chest was removed.
Only then was Hwangbo Cheok able to catch his breath.
“Keuk… . Huh… .”
By the time I finally exhaled and looked around.
Gu Yangcheon sat down on the chair again.
“I guess you’re not as stupid as I thought, but why did you mess with me?”
“•••Because you touched this Hwangbo first.”
“From what you’re saying now, it seems like you might be stupid.”
“Right now… Do you know who you are messing with?”
Guyangcheon lets out a small laugh at Hwangbo Cheok’s words.
“Hey kid. Then who did you think I was when you touched me?”
cue,,
“That’s why you shouldn’t talk to people whose brains are filled with muscles. It makes me feel like my brain is stiffening.”
With Guyangcheon’s sigh, the inside of the barracks begins to be filled with a thick atmosphere.
Gu Yangcheon was still sitting there.
Hwangbo Cheok barely managed to get up.
I had to get down on my knees because of the pressure that was weighing on my body.
How thick the energy is.
I felt like my whole body was shaking with fear.
“Try to convince her.”
In a voice that was cold and piercing.
Advertisements
Hwangbo Cheok took a deep breath.
“Just as you said. I intend to kill you.”
The murderous intent in his voice.
It was letting me know that I meant it.
How on earth?
How on earth are you going to solve this by killing Hwangbo’s blood relatives in a place like this?
Doesn’t that guy know what’s going to happen next?
If not, is there any way to get things done and then be held accountable?
Whatever it was, it wasn’t a good situation for Hwangbo Cheok.
Whatever it was, it was definitely a life-threatening situation.
If he killed the Six Elders, it means he is a master of that level.
If it were true, it would be a monster.
Hwangbo Cheok realized, albeit belatedly, that he had provoked the wrong person.
It was already too late.
A drop of cold sweat ran down my cheek.
Hwangbo Cheok swallows dry saliva and looks at Guyangcheon.
For some reason, Goyangcheon looked outside the barracks for a moment.
He quickly turned his gaze back to Hwangbo Cheok.
Hwangbo Cheok was expecting that someone might have come outside.
That didn’t seem to be the case.
If someone came outside.
There is no way that Guyangcheon would react so indifferently.
In a situation where we are increasingly being pushed to the edge of a cliff.
Hwangbo Cheok thought.
‘•••Me, the next head of the Hwangbo family? Am I going to die in a place like this?’
Of course, I haven’t received the seat of the Sogaju yet.
When I saw that the head of the Hwangbo family was not in good health.
I could tell that the day I would receive my seat was approaching.
I’ve been counting the days until that day.
I couldn’t die in a place like this.
“So convince me so that I won’t kill you.”
“•••What do you wish for?”
“It’s up to you to look into it now.”
It seemed as if he was willing to wait that long.
Hwangbo Cheok had to bite his teeth.
Advertisements
But somehow I had to find another way.
I wondered what I could do in this situation.
When I used all my body’s strength to miraculously escape and head towards the Murim Alliance, I thought it might be okay.
” hey.,,
“•••!”
“Use your brain to that extent. If you try to move in the wrong way, I’ll tear off your legs first.”
You’re not even breaking it, you’re just pulling it out.
Hwangbo Cheok also has a mouth that is a bit loose.
He did much more.
Above all else.
I felt like what he said was sincere, which made me even more scared.
“Can’t decide?”
Hwangbo Cheok was left speechless at the words he blurted out with a snicker.
No, I tried to say something.
My mouth was shut against my will.
‘… What the heck.’
When I was so flustered that my breathing became ragged.
“Then I thought I’d give you some choices.”
I heard Guyangcheon speaking with a bright smile.
After hearing that, I could understand.
I did say from the beginning that I wanted to try persuading her.
That guy had something he wanted from the beginning.
“I’ll ask first.”
Hwangbo Cheok regrets it.
I didn’t know the topic for a long time.
Plus, it was at that time that I touched the Guyangcheon River.
“In the midst of Hwangbogawa’s life.”
His own failure to properly recognize the devil.
“What is more important?”
Hwangbo Cheok will probably regret it until the end of his life.
A day has passed.
The time became night.
I was walking slowly through the night forest.
Meeting Hwangbo Cheok required a lot of energy from me.
I still felt tired all over my body.
Advertisements
At this point, it was at a level where it could be replenished by filling the bet again.
However, that wasn’t important right now.
‘I guess I should have killed him after all.’
Come back, shaking off your hands.
I thought back on this battle for a moment.
The original purpose of going there was to kill Hwangbo Cheok.
I changed my mind in the middle of eating it.
The reason was simple.
‘•••If you go around killing everyone because you’re angry, it’ll be a problem.’
Lately, I’ve been feeling like the murderous intent inside me is getting stronger.
As much as I sensed a change in magic.
It would have been better to moderate some of the madness.
‘I can’t live as a mine in this life.’
What a second chance I got.
If I continued like this, I would become a mine without even knowing it.
In recent times, there has been no hesitation in killing people.
‘There wasn’t anything like that originally.’
This wasn’t about the law or the moral aspect.
If I had the nature to argue about such things, I wouldn’t have done it in my past life.
Now, they wouldn’t have burned people alive to death.
We need to weigh the pros and cons and decide who to kill and who not to kill.
This means that there is a strong tendency to act rashly and be swayed by emotions.
When I saw Hwangbo Cheok do something to me.
It’s true that he was a difficult guy to leave alone.
But it was ambiguous to kill it and get rid of it.
‘What happens if Hwangbo Cheok dies?’
There was also the meaning of leaving it alone for the sake of revenge for the silence.
The lifeline of the Hwangbo family is not that long.
I know that Hwangbo Gaju’s health is not very good right now.
Because the moment Hwangbo Cheok ascends to the position of head of the household, downfall is expected.
‘That is to say, in some ways it might be better to kill Hwangbo Cheok now…’
I then saw the eyes of the person looking at this place through the crack in the barracks door.
I am talking about Hwang Bo-cheol, who was watching his older brother kneeling before him.
‘•••Look at this.’
Why didn’t you do anything to Hwangbo Cheolwi even though you felt his presence?
Advertisements
Because the way he looked at my brother was strange.
Hwang Bo-cheol watched this quietly, made eye contact with me, and then quietly left.
Well, I thought I might tell someone else.
I had a feeling it wouldn’t be like that.
Rather, it is something that may come to me sooner or later.
No, I’m sure it would.
I nodded my head as I faced the rising moonlight.
I felt like the space left by the magic energy was more empty than I thought.
Before I left Hwangbo Cheok.
I brought magic energy and gold into that bastard’s body.
The amount of magic energy that was put into Hwangbo Cheok was more than expected.
This will be a ban and will strangle the bastard.
This method was not much different from how Cheonma had treated others in the past.
‘It’s not good, really.’
Thinking about it like that, I couldn’t help but feel my heart grow queasy.
What Cheonma did.
Because it meant that I could do it.
‘•••But it’s not that strong.’
It’s not like your heart will burst and you’ll die from saying the wrong thing.
Cheonma made such a thing possible with just a small gesture.
I had to release a large amount of magic and walk until the golden age.
‘Putting aside the fact that it’s difficult… the problem is that it’s controllable.’
Let the magic eat away at the unmanned body.
Or, like you did with Hwangbo Cheok, you can restrict his actions by linking him to Geumje.
This means that multiple ways of controlling other magic items have become possible.
That was the biggest problem right now.
It’s shaky.
How did it end up like this?
‘No way. Does it evolve as the level increases?’
That might be the case.
As my power grows stronger.
If this unknown power also becomes stronger.
That’s a really fucked up thing.’
It was a really strange thing to say that becoming stronger might not be easy.

…ah.
I let out a weary sigh.
As time goes by, nothing flows the way I want it to, so I feel like I’m getting more and more tired.
“Yeah, that’s all good too.”
He spoke bluntly.
This is what happened to me.
I could have done that.
But what is the situation now?
This was something I simply couldn’t understand.
The person next to me reacts to what I am whispering to myself.
A fragrant smell tickles the tip of my nose, as if I’ve sprayed something.
At the same time, a shallow chill passes by the tip of my neck.
Feeling a ticklish sensation, I asked my companion.
…
!
… .
…
“•••Why are you here?”
“yes?”
“I haven’t seen you for days, so why are you here all of a sudden?”
It’s already so complicated I’m dying.
A female cat walking stealthily next to me with an expression on her face as if she knew nothing was irritating me.
The woman speaks to me.
“Didn’t you hear?”
“Yes, I didn’t hear that.”
“It seems that the Master Yeolhyeopgeom didn’t deliver the message. Why would he do that? He’s not the type of person to do that.”
“•••you.”
My expression suddenly distorted as I listened to the woman’s words, as if she had absolutely no idea.
Today was the last day I had to handle work on the front lines.
The person I had to go with was already decided.
I must have reported to my superiors a long time ago that I would take Gujeol-yeop and Muyeon with me.
“Oh, I guess there was a problem…!”
cue,,
“I don’t know what the circumstances are with the Yeolhyeopgeom… but since it can’t be helped, can’t I do it in his place?”
What is this woman talking about so shamelessly?
Advertisements
In the meantime, where did that smokeless guy go?
Putting aside situations that you don’t like.
I sighed deeply as I looked at the woman who was smiling brightly, as if she was having so much fun.
I’m sure you heard me sigh.
There was still a smile on the woman’s lips.
“Your Majesty, if we stay any later, the night may pass. If that is what you wish… I am fine.”
•••I’m going crazy. Really.
Did you lose your mind in the middle of the night?
The woman, or rather, Mo Yong-hee, continued to spout nonsense.
I had to think about how things got this way.
