The Best in the World is Dead Chapter 316

<Episode 316> Dragon’s Note. (6)

My eyes are blurry.

The field is filled with crimson leaves.

Although it seemed a bit stuffy, for some reason it felt warm.

‘ ah.’

It’s far away.

I felt like my complicated thoughts had cleared up, even if only for a moment.

‘Complicated thoughts?’

What were you thinking?

I felt really scared.

I don’t remember very well. Still, I think I shouldn’t forget.

I turn my head, full of headache, and think.

‘•••!’

I was momentarily intoxicated by the comfort and became dazed.

It just occurred to me.

-You are a disaster.

That’s what Yeonilcheon said to me.

-Have you ever thought strangely about your regression?

Dig deep into your heart and take root.

-That is fate.

My heart felt a little more at ease.

I felt like I was being painted in silence again.

‘disaster.’

The blood horse was said to be a disaster.

If disaster continues through karma.

Unlike what Yeon Il-cheon said, the next disaster was like a thousand horses.

He called me a disaster.

‘Am I a disaster?’

This is a story I’ve never thought about.

Returning as death.

Now that I’ve returned, I want to try living a different life.

Have you ever wished for a smooth life for yourself?

Or, did you wish for a safe life?

If not that.

‘•••Did you wish for a happy life?’

Advertisements
I wonder if she, not me, wanted a happy life.

Whatever it is.

There’s something secret about my regression.

If that secret is what brings about disaster.

What should I do?

Such thoughts fill my head.

In a conversation that lasted only a moment.

I wonder if I can ever let go of the mental strings I’ve been holding onto like this.

The sanity I was holding onto.

In fact, I wondered if it was because of shallow hope.

‘Is the feeling of guilt scary now?’

Did he want to live forgetting that he was a villain and a devil?

Was my hope that I could erase all that I had done and would do?

And then I lived like that.

Actually, I heard that you were the whole problem.

Could it have been that unfair?

‘What a retard.’

I can’t help but laugh.

Since when did I become a good guy?

In the first place, I had no intention of becoming a swordsman even after returning.

‘Tell him to eat shit.’

I am a person who always lives the way I want.

The reason why I endure and do things I don’t want to do is.

Because it’s worth it.

.

!

… .

… .

But who marked me as a disaster?

If my regression contains someone’s purpose.

‘I’m not gonna do it.’

I don’t know who it is, though.

You have to stubbornly reject them. You have to find them and beat them up.

That’s fate.

If you say that you can’t help it and can’t disobey it.

Advertisements
We will find a way.

If I was going to give up and say it couldn’t be done.

As soon as I got back, I ran away from home.

He must have lived in the mountains, farming or something.

I wouldn’t have been going through this much trouble.

Even if I have to break it, I will escape.

As always.

‘I wasn’t even sure that I was a disaster in the first place.’

It’s just a feeling.

There is no evidence.

It is clear that Cheonma-da brought back the bloody calamity in the previous life.

All I’m saying is that it’s not me.

I’m organizing my thoughts like that.

I felt something stroking my hair.

“•••hmm?”

All of them are rough and rugged hands.

The hand stroking my head, as if the elder was stroking my head.

It was that feeling of holding and shaking.

It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve felt dizzy.

I shifted my gaze because I was curious about something.

The plum leaves that fill my surroundings have taken the shape of a person.

I was stroking my hair. What the heck is this? It’s scary.

This… maybe.

“… Noya?”

[I was thinking of hitting you in the head because you were being so mean, but I liked the ending so I’ll let it slide.]
“•••Where have you been and why are you coming out now? What is this situation?”

It’s been over a year.

At that time, I was incarcerated for nearly three months as a punishment given by my father.

Noya had to disappear for about a year.

The problem is that it was much longer than a year.

“Have you been hibernating until now?”

[Hehehe, I worked hard to keep my old body alive as soon as I woke up, but its beak is still empty.]
“•••I am glad to see you.”

[If I see you twice, I’ll probably cut you in half.]
Haha.

The old man’s voice was dry and sharp.

However, his speech was still rough for a Taoist.

It was quite nice to hear that.

Advertisements
by the way….

“•••Can I ask what the situation is?”

[What are you talking about?]
“The current situation.”

Even the situation where I met the idea that I had been claiming to be Yeonilcheon just before.

I asked Shin Noya.

Noya answered me.

[How do I know that?]
“What?”

[You are asking such a trivial question to someone who just woke up. If I knew that, would I be a shaman or a Taoist priest?]
“ ”

If you look at it one way, isn’t a shaman also a Taoist priest?

A silly thought crossed my mind.

“Since when have you been awake?”

[From the moment you set foot on Vigo.]
If what he said is true, it wasn’t that long ago.

At that moment, a memory came to mind in a flash.

I felt it in the comments.

The presence of another being, not a beast, inside my body.

It certainly seemed like Shin Noya’s presence was right.

“•••But why didn’t you react?”

[…]
Noya pauses for a moment to answer my question.

I thought you were choosing your words.

Noya gave me the answer.

[Because the guy was looking at you.]
If you say that guy.

A man with dark blond hair, obviously.

It must mean Yeonilcheon.

“That bird… no, is that person really Noya’s colleague?”

[If you’re going to swear, do it clearly.]
“No matter what, it’s a bit much to swear in front of someone….”

I felt like shit, but I couldn’t just stand in front of Noya and curse at him for everything.

But we’re still friends after all.

“So, is he really King Kwon Chul Geum?”

[I don’t know.]
“•••yes?”

I had to flinch at Noya’s answer.

You don’t know? What does this mean?

“You definitely didn’t pretend to know back then, did you?”

I heard that Shin Noya clearly said that it was good to see the ending towards the end.

[You said it was nice to see your face, right?]
“What is that?”

[What more is there?]
This is ridiculous.

Advertisements
[What is certain is that it is the thought left behind by that guy Ilcheon.]
“But you’re saying you don’t know whether it’s him or not?”

[That room and the thoughts are the strength of a thousand people. But thoughts are just thoughts.]
“… I don’t know what you’re talking about. So is this Noya’s power?”

The plum leaves that surround me now.

And the absurdity felt all around.

Is this Noya’s power?

Noya answers my question.

[He said, that place was prepared for me.]
“.•.yes.”

And that’s not all.

Maybe it’s the unknown encounters I’ve had.

Maybe it was all prepared for Noya.

[This is the arrangement.]
“Is this it?”

Even the energy that surrounds me takes the form of a human being, as if expressing the pottery and the god Noya.

I could tell at a glance.

How powerful is the pure power contained here.

“•••Then this is Noya’s original power….”

[You’re talking crazy.]
“Isn’t it?”

At my words, Noya laughed heartily as if he found it ridiculous.

[Did you think this strength was all I had?]
“ ”

[I am not this weak.]
What kind of power is this? I’m momentarily dumbfounded.

The energy I am feeling right now is truly amazing.

That’s because you’re supporting and embracing me.

If this pottery blade were to strangle my neck right now.

It wouldn’t last more than a few seconds at my level and would be torn to pieces.

That much power.

Is that all from Noya’s perspective?

‘•••How strong was it?’

I can’t imagine what Noya looked like when he was alive.

Even if they were masters of the past, there were so many historical records written down.

When I look at it from a high perspective, I thought it was on the same level as the current Samjon.

‘Could it be that he was stronger than that?’

If that’s how you describe your current mood.

You never know.

Perhaps, it might have been at the level of the Weiseol-ah who was called the new sword… .

‘No, that can’t be it.’

I erased the words from my mind.

Advertisements
They say there were five people like that.

‘What kind of blood demon is that that can deal with humans at that level?’

There was even Yeon Il-cheon, who was a returnee who defeated Noya and became the best in the world.

Dealing with such people, the last thing that comes to mind is death.

At best, it could only end with a seal.

It would have been nearly impossible for the Blood Horse to have been truly a god.

[I have a lot of thoughts again.]
“•••Because I heard some ridiculous stories.”

Haha.

It was so complicated I thought I would die, but Noya just laughed.

“Are you laughing?”

[How can I not laugh at this, your expression is just ridiculous.]
It’s so complicated I’m dying. It’s someone else’s business…

No, it’s not someone else’s business, but now that I look at it, it seems like Noya is also quite involved.

[Don’t be shaken.]
The hand that was shaking my head became rougher.

[There is nothing more dangerous than losing yourself.]
“•••I know.”

[You must know. Even though you know, you can’t do it, which is why you are human.]
“Noya, did you know?”

[what?]
“He was talking about disaster and fate.”

This world was destined to be destroyed by the hands of the Blood Demon.

Even if you seal and block the blood demon.

As time goes by, another disaster will occur.

As his colleagues knew.

Did Noya know too?

[No, I didn’t know.]
“•••yes?”

[The reason I was sleeping in your body last time was to regain my memories.]
“Do you remember?

From the first time I saw Shin Noya.

Noya said.

He said that his memories were hazy and full of broken pieces.

That’s why I teased you and said I was fake.

[It took longer than I thought to get it back.]
“Everything… So, did you find it?”

I asked because I thought I might get some information.

Noya’s figure shook his head, indicating denial.

[I almost got it back, but I can’t remember the last moments.]
“Is this your last word?”

[The last thing I remember was the battle with the Blood Demon.]
A large-scale battle between five unmanned and one blood horse.

That was the last thing Shin Noya remembered.

“•••that.”

[That’s right. I know that it won’t be my last.]
Shin Noya did not die in the battle with the Blood Demon.

Advertisements
According to the records, after the Volcanic Sword stopped the Blood Calamity, it returned to being the leader of the Volcano.

It is known that he spent the rest of his life there.

[I should have reincarnated and found Vigo. That’s what they said.]
Of course, Hwang A-bul-yeong and King Kwon Cheol-geum included.

The voice of Namgung Myung, the Brain Heavenly Sword, also went so far as to tell Shin Noya to look for Brain Ah.

All of them.

It was talking about the reincarnation of Shin Noya.

[I don’t know the secrets of the world.]
The Central Plains, which was supposed to be destroyed, but still continues to live.

The blood horse called disaster and the heavenly horse that will come later.

[That’s why those damned bastards might have tried to reincarnate me.] [Ilcheon always had a lot of secrets. Ddaengjung seemed weak but was actually kind. Myeong was an unlucky bastard. And Jemun wasn’t in his right mind either.]
What should I say?

They are saying that the people who were called heroes were not normal people.

It was a really strange feeling.

In those words.

There was a vague sense of heaviness hidden within. I couldn’t bring myself to look into it.

[I have an eccentric personality, am a Taoist priest, and speaks harshly.]
You knew that…?

I knew that.

[•••At least once I asked, I wouldn’t let it go. They might have thrown it away knowing that and telling me to suffer.]
“In the end, I ended up passing the buck.”

[When I think about it that way, they really can’t be anything but sons of bitches.]
No, I didn’t say anything like that.

[But in the end, the attempt was unsuccessful.]
“•••What makes you so sure?”

To a soul that cannot even remember things clearly.

I don’t even know the information properly.

You never know.

Because now, Shin Noya was just like Yeonilcheon, just an idea.

In reality, Noya’s reincarnation was successful, but it is possible that he died while growing up.

[under]

Shin Noya burst into laughter at my suspicions.

[If I had truly succeeded in reincarnation, the Central Plains would be crying loudly by now.]
“Why do you say that?”

[Looking at the people who are just sitting there now, they are all idiots. How can I be quiet when a genius like me is born?]
“ ”

What is that crazy confidence?

[If I were born again, I would already be called by a name like Plum Blossom Sword.]
“Even if you were reincarnated, you would still be a master of the Hwasan faction.”

[You’re saying the obvious.]
Sarak.

A plum leaf fell and landed on my nose.

[I was born in a volcano and placed my soul and will there. If I were born again, I would be a child of a volcano.]
Although the reason was weak, there was firmness in it.

[I am the god of volcanoes. Even if my memories are empty. Even if my life ends and I become what I am now, it is no different.] [So don’t be shaken either. What can I do if you don’t trust yourself?]
“•••!”

After hearing the last thing you said to me.

It felt like one side of my chest was beating a little.

Advertisements
I brought up these words now for the sake of those days when I was shaking and unable to calm down.

[Even though it’s been a long time since we last met. Looking at you, you don’t seem to have grown much. How old are you? You still act like a kid. Tsk tsk.]
“•••It would have been really cool if you hadn’t said that at the end.”

bang

“Ugh!”

As I uttered another word, I felt a shock in my head.

He changed his caressing hand into a fist and hit me on the head.

[I really wanted to hit it once. It feels so good.]
“•••Ugh… .”

[Don’t worry about disasters or anything. Focus on what you wanted to do.]
“ ”

[Instead of stopping because you don’t know where to go, you should keep walking, whether it works out or not. If you’re a kid, you probably already know this story.]
“.•.yes.”

Sararak.

The answer is spat out.

The plum leaves that filled my field of vision are gradually moving.

The rough hands that had been stroking my hair also stopped.

[Get up now. I have to do my share of work now. You’ll be very busy thanks to you. Haha.]
The words were a bit strange.

“•••Why do I have to do Noya’s share too?”

[If I can’t do what I want to do because of this, shouldn’t you do it instead?]
“No, what is that?”

[Hey, the old man saved me by using all his might. Do both. It’ll probably be similar anyway, but you little brat, you talk too much. Tsk tsk.]
While we’re at it, let’s deal with the blood demon as well.

That was an incredibly shameless statement.

This guy who doesn’t even pay rent is now trying to leave his work up to me.

‘I was going to do it anyway, but it feels strange.’

But thanks to that, my head feels clearer.

Whether I’m a disaster or not.

I am me.

If I don’t want to be a disaster.

I had to believe that it could happen.

Noya is talking in a poetic tone and in a situation.

You must have wanted to let me know this.

As Noya said, how old am I?

I don’t know if he is still learning and living.

I guess I still have a long way to go before I can become mature.

Saaaaaaa….

[Cheer up.]
With Noya’s voice suddenly heard.

Gradually the plum leaves disappear and the sky becomes visible.

The sky was still night, and the moonlight was rising in the center, shining down on me.

“•••ah.”

Advertisements
I immediately raised my upper body.

Since the last place I was was inside the cave, I had to look into the situation.

For some reason, the place I was now was in the middle of a grassy field.

To be exact, the entrance that led into the cave.

That means lying there.

“Oh, you’re awake.”

As I was trying to assess the situation, I heard a voice from somewhere.

It was the voice of the sleeping dragon.

Fortunately, it seems like he escaped from the situation safely… .

How did I end up sleeping here?

“If you’re up, can you spare me now?”

“•••Huh? What.

In the troubled voice of the sleeping dragon.

I turned my head towards where I heard the voice.

ah.”

There, a sleeping dragon was laughing and smiling.

Before that….

Geom-hu and Cheong-hae-il-geom were looking at me with strange expressions.

• ••

Does this seem like a dud?

“after….”

I quickly turned my head.

I had to find a way out of this situation.

“•••!”

•••came to mind.

I quickly pointed at the sleeping dragon and shouted towards the Cheonghae Ilgeom.

There was no hesitation.

“He told me to do it! I just followed him!” The ultimate secret weapon: selling out your friends.

It was a skill that I had honed throughout my life.

“•••Is that what you call talking?”

Since I didn’t have any friends, I couldn’t use it often, so the effect was weak.

It still doesn’t work.

Shit.
