The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 728 (728/750)
Sword Demon.
The leader of the Gwichal Sword Squad, the killing force of the Cheonmasingyo.
The realm is known to be above the Hwagyeong level, and in terms of strength.
‘Teenagers’ bottom.’
You can see that it’s roughly around that location.
Although it did not have overwhelming strength at the moment, the place where the true nature of the sword could be seen was in the middle of the battlefield.
The reason I gained notoriety was not only because I was a traitor to the political party, but also because I specialized in mass murder.
Spreading flames and constant betting.
As a force specialized in war, my notoriety grew in an instant as soon as I appeared.
This also applies to the sword.
A swordsman who had no hesitation in killing people. He was the perfect person for war, as he symbolized the will to kill and devastated the surrounding area.
Yes, the embodiment of life.
That’s why the sword demon could be called the sword demon.
It was also evidence proving the existence of a thousand years.
Although he himself never gave it a name, the people in the Central Plains called it Salgang (煞鋼).
Life energy is not emitted directly through the danjeon.
This is literally the feeling of wanting to kill the other person.
That’s what’s being emitted mixed with the unmanned aura.
Here, the intensity of the will to live is determined by how strong the will to kill is.
Of course, there may be differences depending on the level of unmanned operation.
That’s just the helpful part. That’s the source of life.
The sword used by the swordsman is related to this and has fraudulent characteristics.
‘The swordsman enjoys killing and has a strong will to live. That’s why his will to live is also strong.’
Because the desire to kill never ceased, the killing power never stopped, and because it did not care about its enemies or allies, it was a force that was even more difficult to deal with.
Then, a question arose here.
indeed.
‘Is a sword without a sword strong?’
In the first place, Hwagyeong was unmanned.
He could never be weak, but the reason that he was able to reign as a strong man beyond his realm was probably because he was a Thousand-Slayer.
I thought so too.
‘First of all, the person himself is a bundle of talent.’
The swordsman of a previous life.
After facing the reality of modern life, I had to change my thinking somewhat.
He was strong.

Not only was he much stronger than his peers, he was also on a level that was comparable to the geniuses known as the Six Dragons and Three Peaks.
step.
‘Just about that much.’
If you say you are pursuing extreme strength, it is somewhat disappointing.
It wasn’t extremely high compared to others.
Just genius level.
‘It’s funny to say that he’s a genius.’
It’s a bit confusing that genius isn’t even the name of a dog, and examples are just geniuses.
It meant that she wasn’t a monster like Namgungbia or Wi Seol-ah.
That means.
‘If you want to raise your Seongyul to the level of Geomma, you have to use Cheon Sal Seong.’
Honestly, even if it wasn’t that, it might be possible if you try the elixir a little and roll it for a few years.
‘I don’t have time for that.’
There was a shortage of manpower and not enough time to develop them.
And why would you feed that precious elixir to that guy?
Even if he did, it wasn’t him.
Then what should we do?
If you want to use it without killing the Holy Spirit, you have to make it strong.
To become stronger, you had to awaken the Thousand-Slayer Star and use it.
‘That Thousand-Year-Old Star… .’
A Thousand-Year-Old is a strange thing that is said to be born once every century.
A being born to kill, who kills humans until the moment of his death, and eventually kills himself.
How should we use this guy who is called a demon in human skin?
Can it even be used in the first place?
‘It can be used, of course.’
Didn’t Cheonma do it, and not anyone else?
The black horse became a mine and became active.
Even though I wandered around like a rascal, I eventually followed Cheonma’s orders.
Moreover, since he trampled on me, he even followed my words.
The horses of similar level, such as the Demon Sword Lord and the Green King, located below it, don’t even eat it, so that’s why…
Looking at this, it seems like evidence that you can control the bastard if you make it into a mine.
‘That’s why I tried to corrupt you.’
As soon as you find him, you corrupt him and make him grow.
That was the intended meeting.
‘Something unexpected has happened.’
Advertisements
I haven’t corrupted him yet.
Petty sympathy.
An unexpected sense of anticipation.
Fucking empathy.
It was something I did out of self-loathing emotions.
Fortunately, the actual results were not bad.
‘Because he listened well.’
I don’t know why he followed me, but he was more useful than the others.
If you told me to take up a sword, I would take up a sword.
If you tell me to cut it, I cut it.
There was a hint of hesitation in killing people.
Although he felt a desire to kill himself, he tried to hold back.
At that time, the guy was still human.
That made me hesitate.
So I asked myself.
‘so.’
Are you just going to leave him alone?
I asked myself.
The answer was already decided.
This is a starting point that should have been chosen at any time.
Maybe it was a choice that should have been made a little sooner.
“Huh… huh!”
The energy is surging above the stage.
When I checked with my mind’s eye, it was much clearer.
Starting with Seongyul, a change in space began to occur.
This is what happens when the concentration of life is too high.
‘Hey.’
I am amazed.
It’s a sight I’ve seen in my past life, but it feels different now than it did then.
The life force that is gushing out is more like a strong spirit than a life force.
“Huh… Huh!”
The eyes shine.
The yellow eyes are filled with life.
The scene was filled with a creepy feeling.
Slaughter.
Advertisements
The determination to kill the opponent by any means necessary.
How can someone be so honest and clear?
I wonder if I was the only one who felt this change, I could feel the reaction from the audience as well.
“What, what is it? I feel chills.”
“I suddenly feel suffocated… .”
The general public was swaying as if their bodies were reacting to the slightest change.
It’s still far from being cold.
Surely, I was beginning to feel the chills of life.
If ordinary people can feel this way, what about unmanned people?
Naturally, the reaction was more intense.
“… Shouldn’t that be stopped?”
“How can someone kill someone like that in a radio broadcast…! What on earth is the referee doing!”
A murderous spirit that makes one’s body stiffen.
At least it wasn’t a murder that a political unmanned force could explode.
And that is at best in a non-radio situation.
I frowned at the sound.
‘If I push it lightly, will it turn out like that?’
When you release the Thousand-Year-Old Castle, its true value is immediately revealed.
It’s about to come out.
I could tell how much he had been suppressing.
It’s like a beast.
It was as if wildness had blossomed and only instinct remained.
“Kill me-.”
Quagagagagak-!
Okay.
Seongyul ran towards Pang Woojin, breathing life into him.
bang-!
Sparks flew as the blades touched each other.
‘It got faster.’
The speed increased rapidly.
I don’t know if it’s because the hesitation has disappeared or if it’s a characteristic that comes from the Thousand-Sal star itself.
‘The muscles have also changed.’
A little tougher and stronger. It gradually changes to be able to handle the speed.
Life was gradually seeping into the skin.
BAM-! KWAANG-!
Advertisements
Every time friction occurs, a wave breaks out.
‘Your strength has also increased.’
Along with speed, strength also increased.
If I have to wonder, I don’t know if it was because of the Thousand-Year-Old Spirit or if it was because the power it originally possessed was released.
The important thing is.
‘Anyway, liberation has come.’
It changes so easily with just a slight push.
It was the first time in my life that I saw it properly.
If it seemed dangerous, I would knock him out and deal with him, so this is the first time I’ve seen Seongyul entrust his life to him.
Let me express my thoughts on this.
‘Strong.’
The Seongyul that became the Cheonsalseong was definitely strong.
A ripe climax.
The end of it.
Although he may not have been able to break through the wall that leads to Hwagyeong, he has liberated all the possibilities that his body can do.
The movement of speed betting and the resulting increased power.
Everything was beyond my imagination.
The winds of death that swept in from all directions were incredibly powerful.
only.
Kwak-kwak-!!
It’s just that the opponent wasn’t very good.
‘That’s crazy.’
Peng Woo-jin, who swung his black iron and destroyed all the flesh.
I burst out laughing as I looked at him.
‘What is that?’
Seongyul is drawing out the maximum power.
Pang Woo-jin dealt with such a rate without any problem.
‘The situation has already been resolved.’
When I saw him on stage before, Peng Woo-jin was already at his peak.
As time passed, he was on the mountain.
It’s strong.
‘I couldn’t quite get it. But still.’
Perhaps he is stronger than Shenlong or Weiseol-ah. That was the level that Peng Wujin showed.
‘… No. To that extent… .’
I may have already surpassed my father, King Tao.
Advertisements
Because I wasn’t showing my strength properly.
Even.
‘That guy is crazy. He doesn’t give a shit.’
The only thought is to kill the opponent.
Seongyul, who had entrusted himself to that place, endured minor wounds and moved forward.
Actions driven solely by instinct were enough to intimidate the opponent.
At best, it’s non-combat.
Even though it wasn’t a life-or-death decision, Seongyul continued to move forward tenaciously.
It was a terrifying sight to behold.
but.
‘That guy is the same.’
Peng Woo-jin also acted in the same way as Seong-yul, as if he would not be pushed around.
Laugh.
That crazy kid was laughing. An obsession similar to that of a thousand years old. What the hell is that?
‘Are you laughing in the middle of all this?’
What could be so fun?
Peng Woo-jin’s expression was filled with joy, as if he was deeply moved.
Pick-!
Blood spurted out.
It’s breathtaking to watch, with murder and speculation all mixed together.
It was already a distant moment for Bimura to see.
The referee couldn’t even get involved in the cruel atmosphere.
‘This is it.’
Looking at the way he fights so encouragingly, maybe Seongyul will win.
I didn’t even think about that.
‘Can’t win.’
You can’t win against that.
The level difference is also quite large. It is impossible.
So, I asked Pang Woo-jin instead.
I have something to check with Seongyul, so please hold out for just ten minutes.
Please don’t knock me down with one blow.
That’s what I asked for.
Peng Woo-jin decided to grant my request, but only on a few conditions.
The conditions were a bit shitty, but it was okay.
Anyway, I accepted it.
Advertisements
at that time.
Bam-!
“Eek!”
“Mom, your neck!?”
I narrowed my gaze at the roaring sound.
I missed it because I was distracted for a moment.
I checked quickly and it seems like something happened.
“her.”
I took stock of the situation and took a deep breath.
There was a wound on Peng Woo-jin’s neck.
Looking at the scar, it looked like someone was biting, and flesh was being spat out from Seongyul’s mouth, which was far away.
‘Did you bite my neck?’
You’re not even a dog, so why are you biting my neck?
Could there be another case like this where the chaos is so bad?
‘What did that guy do to become like that?’
Even though he was bitten up to his neck, Peng Woo-jin’s joy doubled and he was filled with laughter.
It was getting scary now.
The heat is rising more and more.
As they watch each other fighting as if they are going to kill each other, the people around them can only swallow dry saliva.
‘… Slowly.’
I judged it by looking at it.
It seemed like there was nothing left to see.
It can be dangerous if left as is.
Phew!
As scary as it seemed, huge bets began to swirl around the stage.
It was an aura I felt from Peng Woo-jin, and I could tell as soon as I saw him.
‘You’re thinking of ending it.’
That guy intends to end this war.
In addition, this also applies to the rate of growth.
The guy gritted his teeth with glaring eyes and began to gather the murderous aura he was spewing into one place.
I nodded my head at that.
Just look at this and it’s time to really check for the last time.
Seongyul is becoming more and more absorbed in energy.
I whispered as I looked at him.
[Stop.]
Let’s send out a message with the power of verbs.
Advertisements
Ouch!
I could see Cheon Sal-seong’s body, no, Seong-yul’s body, stiffening.
Okay.
‘It works.’
He checked the condition and smiled brightly.
The verb is eaten.
Even though he was influenced by the Thousand-Year-Old Spirit, his words were still effective.
It means that it is under control.
underneath.
‘How far will it go?’
Now it was time to confirm it. This fight was a stage prepared just for that.
Thump-!
It gave strength to the heart.
The energy fluctuates and maintains a steady flow.
Sigh.
Slowly mix your energy with the incoming breath.
He said this while looking at the guy who was about to run wild.
[Now.] [Get out.]
“… Break…!?”
The moment the words were delivered, Seongyul’s body shook violently.
Hwaaaaak–!!
After that, the murderous aura surrounding him disappeared in an instant.
As the energy that had been sustaining his body began to fade, Seongyul immediately began to stagger.
dump-!
Then he fell to the ground helplessly.
Only Peng Woo-jin opened his eyes in the suddenly unfolding situation.
“What? What is it?”
“What happened all of a sudden?”
“Why after fighting so well…?”
The audience also seemed to not understand the situation and were asking questions, but the result did not change.
“Habuk Pengga Peng Wujin wins!”
The referee, who came up in a hurry, judged the winner after looking at Seongyul’s condition.
Peng Woo-jin won.
Wow!
Then a cheer erupts.
It was a rough and fierce fight, but it seemed like they enjoyed it.
Advertisements
The actual winner, Peng Woo-jin, had a strange expression on his face.
‘Hey.’
Eyes with no smile left.
Expressionless black eyes. A look of disgust was evident.
He puts the sword he was holding back into its sheath and looks this way.
I guess he must have noticed that I did something.
As expected.
-What are you doing?
Peng Woo-jin sent a telegram this way.
-What are you talking about?
Let’s try to remove the stigma.
-Even though I am a former Confucius, this makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Of course it didn’t work.
I heard a voice from Peng Woo-jin for the first time.
The guy who always played weird pranks sent me a heavy tone this time.
That must be proof that he was that upset.
-I didn’t do anything. But since you did as you promised, I’ll remember what you said.
-…
There is no evidence.
There’s no need to worry about getting caught since I didn’t leave anything behind.
Knowing that, Peng Woojin just glared at me.
Is it that you don’t like the fact that you didn’t finish it properly?
After a few seconds of meeting Peng Woojin’s gaze.
-Okay, I understand.
Peng Woojin wiped away his expressionless face and smiled again.
-I still have regrets, but since you’re here, I’ll get over it. Instead.
He’s smiling, but it’s not a smile.
It was something perhaps more uncomfortable.
-If we ever meet here, I hope you will give me greater pleasure than the real Confucius did.
-…
It’s fun.
I don’t know what that means.
but.
-Yes. I’ll try.
I dare say it wouldn’t be that difficult.

******************
The fighting continued after that.
A fierce fight between Pang Woo-jin and Seong-yul a while ago.
There was a bit of a wait time because of that, but it wasn’t a big deal.
At best, there were only two abstentions.
“I’m here.”
Dang So-yeol just finished his military service.
I waved at her as I looked at her.
“great job.”
The result of the fight was a victory for Tang Xiaoyeol.
Since the opponent’s realm had barely passed the peak of maturity, there was no chance of Tang Xiaoyeol losing.
“Haha.”
Perhaps it was because of the consecutive victories that Dang So-yeol smiled happily.
“What if I win like this?”
“Then we should congratulate them.”
He said it with a sly smile.
“Congratulations? No gifts or anything?”
“What gift?”
“… Um… That’s… . That…”
Dang So-yeol, who had been speaking, suddenly shuts his mouth.
Then he looked to the side with an anxious look. That was where Bongsoon was.
What is it? Why is Bongsoon looking at me?
“What? Give it to me?”
“… Your Majesty. Bong… No, Lady Pi is not an object.”
“It’s roughly similar.”
“Wow? Why me?”
Bong-soon tilts her head as if she knew what I was talking about.
I got so angry that I hit my head.
“What the heck! Why are you hitting me…?”
“I’m just annoyed.”
“Then, just a little more… .”
“shut up.”
“huh.”
Bongsoon naturally shut her mouth, and Tang Soyeol let out a shallow sigh as he watched.
Looking at that, I laughed and said.

“Anyway, I’ll think about the gift.”
“You have no intention of giving it to me anyway.”
“Well, if we really win, then maybe it’ll be different.”
Who knows? You never know what’s going on in this world.
“So. You win too.”
“Huh?”
He said while looking at Bongsoon.
Seongyul had collapsed and still hadn’t come to his senses.
It doesn’t matter.
We’ve checked what we had to check, and there’s no need for the rate to go up any further.
But Bong-soon is different.
“I would like you to go as high as possible.”
In Bongsoon’s case, the higher the rank, the better it was later.
It was also something that was necessary according to the plan.
“Oh… . Are you happy if I win?”
“Okay.”
“Cultist. As expected, you’re pairing up with me-.”
“Come to think of it. I guess you don’t need a tongue after all.”
“I’ll shut up!”
I covered my mouth with my finger.
I really wanted to pull it out, but I barely held myself back.
“Stop talking nonsense and get ready.”
“huh!”
The weapon is ambiguous, but if you want to kill him, you can kill him.
That meant that they were of similar skill levels and that Bong-soon could win if she did well.
– Volcano’s Youngpung and Seoanpiga’s Piyeonyeon, please prepare for the next match!
Not long after, the long-awaited sound is heard.
“I’ll be back!”
Bong-soon realized that it was her turn and stood up with the baton in her hand.
He said it as if he was tired while looking at it.
“Come back after winning.”
“Okay! I get it!”
After hearing those words, Bong-soon walked briskly.
Not long after that.
“Oh! Leader!”
Advertisements
Bong-soon showed up with bruises all over her body and spoke to me.
“I lost! That guy was really strong!”
“…”
I had to cover my face at the words that were spoken so brightly.
