The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 756 (756/770)
-Avoid!
Kwarrrrung-!
-Gyaaaah-!!
The streets of Hanam were originally beautiful.
As the most developed region in the central region, it was active day and night.
In such a city, buildings were collapsing and the streets were in shambles due to a sudden attack.
The street vendors that used to line the street collapsed a long time ago.
The upper and lower houses built in the center of Hanam began to be destroyed by the raids.
-Break it-!
-Push it! Don’t delay!
Those dressed in black are destroying buildings and people indiscriminately.
Where on earth did these people come from? Why is the sky like that, and why are they caught in this crisis?
People had doubts, but there was nothing they could do.
That’s what a disaster is.
“Oh, Dad… .”
“fizzle-!”
His young daughter sobs in his arms.
I held the child closer to me, hoping to hear the sound.
I hid behind the collapsed wall and held my breath.
“… Heh… Heh…”
The frightened child’s breathing is ragged.
Abi looked back, his whole body drenched in sweat.
People in black uniforms look around.
Maybe they’re trying to check if there are any more survivors?
‘please….’
Looking at that, Abi tightly shuts his eyes.
If this continues, I might get caught. I have to live.
Even if I didn’t know it myself, I had to at least save my daughter.
Just as I was thinking that.
Crispy.
“…!”
A noise was heard behind the wall.
‘Oh my god.’
My body is shaking.

If this continues, it won’t be long before we get caught.
Should I run away with my daughter right now?
If you run away, will you succeed?
The opponent is unmanned. His slow feet will soon catch up.
I think it would be better to just beg for my life.
Wouldn’t appealing to emotions be the way to save my daughter?
The man’s worries are deepening.
Ttukbuk.
The more it happened, the more the sound of people grew stronger.
“…”
With his hands trembling, there was only one thing the man could do.
Pray.
Please, someone save us, the man had said to his daughter when the situation first arose.
Don’t worry. This land is protected by the Murim Alliance, so we won’t be in trouble either.
Of course, I said so.
‘earthly….’
I wonder when it will come.
-Please save me!
Screams are coming from all directions. What are these men doing?
So, as the man gradually became blinded by fear.
-Found it…! It looks like it’s here!
A sound of hope shines in the distance.
Because people wearing light blue uniforms appeared around me.
Those clothes were the symbol of the martial arts alliance that protected Hanam.
The men of Meng were pulling someone out from under a collapsed building.
It seemed like he was the owner of the building, the innkeeper.
It’s not that far away.
‘…please…!’
Please discover this place.
To find and save themselves.
The man wished so desperately.
“…!”
Our eyes really met.
Their eyes met those of the blind men who were supporting the old man.
Lived.
Advertisements
That was the thought that occurred to the man immediately.
Now, if it’s the Murim Alliance, they will save us and their daughter.
But I believe so strongly and think of miracles.
‘uh…?’
The man’s hope soon turns to despair.
will save them.
They are the warriors of the Murim Alliance that I believed in.
‘…why…?’
They were pretending not to see me even though their eyes met mine.
They were so busy collecting the old man they had rescued that they didn’t even glance in their direction.
Clearly our eyes met.
Why is Maeng abandoning us when it is something we have longed for so desperately?
‘Why on earth…?’
Despair spreads like a swamp.
Deeper and deeper, she squeezed the man’s neck like that.
but.
“Please save me!!”
He had a daughter, so he couldn’t despair.
Could it be that you didn’t hear? Could it be that our eye contact was an illusion?
His head knew that wasn’t true, but it wasn’t the time to be discussing such things.
“Please! Save me…!!”
The man shouted desperately.
At that shout, movement is heard behind him. The monsters have also noticed the man.
“Even if it’s not me… Please spare my little, little daughter…! Daehyeoeoeoup!”
The man shouted with earnestness.
I don’t mind getting stabbed in the back right now, so please spare my daughter.
I shout out with that kind of feeling in my heart.
-shit….
The men of Maeng look back and forth between the old man and the man who are supporting them as if they are in trouble.
-Deputy Director…
It was as if the man’s shouting was a reaction of embarrassment.
One, if you look at me like this, it’s fine. Even though the man wants it that way.
-… This is not a good terrain for fighting. For now, the priority is to serve the innkeeper.
-… Haona… !
-It’s a name.
Advertisements
-…
After talking amongst themselves a few times, the men of Meng begin to move quickly.
“Great swordsman…? Great swordsman!!”
The man screamed at the sight.
Are you really abandoning us?
Why is the Murim Alliance abandoning us?
It was an unbelievable sight.
It would be more correct to say that it was a dream. I was instantly overcome by despair at the sight.
at that time.
“Heh heh.”
A clear, mocking laugh was heard from behind.
At that sound, the man’s head creaked and moved, and the assailants came closer and looked at him.
“I guess I’ve been abandoned.”
At the sound of his voice, the man hugs his daughter tightly.
I need to run away now. I thought so, but my legs were weak and I couldn’t move properly.
“… Ah… The child is very… immature… . immature. That, that’s why…”
He blurts out the words in a trembling voice. At those words, the villain’s eyes turn to his daughter.
Then, for a moment, longing appeared in the villain’s eyes.
“Yeah, my daughter was exactly that age.”
I wonder if sympathy is working? That thought crosses my mind for a moment.
“At that age, he was murdered by the political bastards.”
Longing quickly turned to resentment.
“She was a precious and beautiful child. I still remember those days when she would whisper to me.”
There was a thick malice in his voice.
Just hearing how much it’s piled up makes me feel like vomiting.
“Did you believe in the Murim Alliance?”
A grimace like a demon.
Only then do I see that one side of the assailant’s face is distorted, as if it had been burned with a soldering iron.
“If that were the case, that would be why you died.”
“Please… please…! I can die. I’ll do anything…! What about my daughter…!”
“It hurts…!!”
Death is coming.
The moment the villain raised his sword high as if he had no intention of looking back.
“Eek!”
The man closed his eyes tightly and hugged his daughter protectively.

at that time.
Hwaruk–!!
Suddenly I felt light.
Kwaaaaahh …
The sensation of closed eyes briefly becoming brighter.
There was no pain as expected, and strangely enough, I felt warmth.
Could it be that he has died?
So is that the feeling you get?
The man opens his eyes slightly in anxiety.
“… Huh!”
I had to vomit out the flagship as soon as I saw it.
Knock knock! Knock knock!
The area surrounding the man was filled with flames.
Blue, seething flames.
A fire that seemed to burn brightly surrounded the man.
“This… This… What is this… ..”
What the hell is going on?
At a time when the man was extremely flustered.
“Dad. This is warm.”
“What? Huh…! Hye-yeon!”
I quickly grab my daughter.
It was because the child was suddenly touching the flame.
But.
‘Huh?’
Something was strange.
The flames moved and brushed against my body, but it wasn’t really hot, as my daughter said.
What the heck is going on? Also.
‘… The strange man…?’
What happened to the raider? At a time when only questions were raised.
“Hey. Don’t touch that.”
A voice pierces through the flames.
“If you keep doing that, the skin on your hands will all peel off.”
Hwaaaaak-!
At the same time, the surrounding flames died down.
A previously hidden sight came into view.
Advertisements
“…!!”
The man gasps for breath at the sight.
Unlike before, when it was just damaged, it was now completely blackened.
Blue flames were burning here and there, and the walls were boiling as if they were melting.
Plus, the original appearance of the villain was also shown… .
“dad?”
The man moves his hand at the sound of his daughter’s voice calling him.
It was too cruel for a child to see. First, the moment when he tried to cover her eyes.
“I can’t see anything. What’s going on?”
The daughter’s eyes were already covered.
The blue flame that had been blooming earlier momentarily obscured the child’s eyes.
The man immediately turns his gaze away upon seeing that.
Perhaps it was directed towards the one who saved him, the owner of this flame.
“Ah, thank you very much… Hyeop.”
I immediately started to say hello, but then paused for a moment.
Because he was much younger than the man expected.
A figure with black hair and blue eyes.
From boy to young man. Barely amenable to terms and conditions.
He was a young man who seemed to have lived half his life.
furthermore.
‘… I think I’ve seen it somewhere.’
To be exact, I didn’t see it, but rather felt familiar with the impression. If someone of that age were to use such a chemical weapon… No way.
“Cow, cow inflammation…?”
“hmm.”
As the man spoke his nickname, the young man, Gu Yangcheon’s brow furrowed slightly.
It was a nickname that I never got used to no matter how many times I heard it.
‘I can’t help it.’
But I had to get used to it.
“I think I know you, so I guess I don’t need to introduce myself.”
“… I, really… really thank you… . Thank you… .”
The man kept sobbing and lowering his head. Gu Yangcheon had to look at him with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
“Thank you, but… please remember.”
“Yes…? If you remember… then…”
“I just want you to remember it because I’ll have to make a fuss about it later.”
“Ah… ah yes… .”
Advertisements
I didn’t quite understand what he was saying, but I nodded anyway.
Looking at that, Goo Yang-cheon snickered. At the same time, he looked at his daughter who was being held and continued speaking.
“hey.”
The child flinched because of the somewhat sharp voice.
“Listen to your father and live well.”
“… Yes… Yes… Thank you.”
The child hesitates and answers, perhaps because he is scared.
My tongue got twisted while I was spitting, so my pronunciation is a mess.
At least he didn’t cry because his eyes were covered.
That’s a little cute, I want to pat its head.
‘Tsk.’
I had just gotten my hands dirty.
It’s too difficult to touch with these hands.
So she hid her regretful hands and looked at the man and said.
“If you go north from here, the Hwangbo family will be waiting. Go there and ask for protection.”
“Hwangbo Se-ga… are you talking about that?”
“Yes. I think it would be better there than in Maeng.”
“…”
The man’s eyes tremble at those words.
Wouldn’t the Murim Alliance have been better? That’s what they would have done. The man’s mouth didn’t open.
The man’s eyes were filled with only distrust.
Goo Yang-cheon watched it quietly and then added.
“Anyway, you can just go that way.”
“… Ah… Dae, Daehyeop, by any chance… .”
The man was hesitating and trying to say something.
“I’m sorry, but I’m busy.”
Gu Yangcheon firmly refused. He had already figured out the intention.
It seemed like he was asking for protection because there was a distance, but that was not possible.
“There are still many places to save.”
“…”
After hearing the reason, the man stopped talking and bowed his head deeply.
“… Thank you, Daehyeop. Thank you so much.”
“Oh, right. You should go when it’s time to say hello.”
As I wave my hand roughly telling him to go away, the man quickly starts to leave, hugging the child.
And so, the two people finally disappeared.
Advertisements
“…”
Goyangcheon frowned at the sight of the two.
‘Thank you.’
I feel heavy when I hear words of thanks.
Because I intended to hear it, but I really had no right to hear it.
‘Tsk.’
I looked around.
The surroundings were charred black.
It was burned so badly that it couldn’t even be cleaned.
‘… It’s difficult to control.’
It wasn’t easy.
The very act of fighting to save something is the problem.
‘You have to have saved someone to know.’
Although there have been instances of burning everything to death, there have been few instances of fighting for the purpose of rescue.
Because of that, Guyangcheon had to feel awkward.
‘… Ugh.’
It would have been easier if you had just thought of getting rid of everything.
It was incredibly difficult to control and move. I wanted to just hit them all at once.
-Thank you.
“…”
I felt a strange sensation of the words that suddenly came to mind enveloping my body.
‘Wake up.’
It immediately cooled my head down.
‘Do you feel like a real hero?’
Make no mistake.
The more this happens, the more I think about it.
You created this situation. This is a recovery, not a rescue.
Don’t think you’ve become a hero.
It’s not that I’m a hero. I’m just pretending to be one.
With that determination, I bit my lips and walked forward.
Hwaruk-! My body floats up as flames engulf me.
Time is running out and there is a lot to do.
I had to move faster.
*****************
Krrrrrrrr-!! The building collapsed and debris fell.
Advertisements
“Whoaaah…!”
The moment those below screamed and crouched.
Whoosh whoosh-!!!
A huge blast of flame sweeps through the falling debris.
“Eek…!”
Everyone was startled by the massive flames, but fortunately the debris burned away and no casualties were reported.
but.
Not everything was blocked.
Kuuung-!
Another piece of debris falls. But this time, no fireworks explode.
“Ugh!”
thud!
The giants appear and clear away the debris.
These people were dressed in yellow uniforms. They were all Hwangbo family warriors.
He waves his hand to confirm this.
Hurrrurr—!!!
Flames fly out according to the command.
The burst of fire spreads in all directions in an instant.
There is no sea of fire as to how much it is.
It was a situation where everyone might have burned to death. But such a cruel thing did not happen.
“… No… It’s not hot.”
“Mother! Are you okay?”
No one screams even though the flames engulf the entire area.
The blue flame was spreading past the people.
and.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Ugh… Euaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The flames pass over the civilians and begin to burn and kill only those who attacked Hanam.
‘Two in front. Three beyond. One on the top right.’
Move your eyes quickly and expand your senses at the same time.
Cold sweat is running down my face.
‘Fuck.’
It was really fucking hard.
It is difficult to burn people one by one, and it is also difficult to control the flames while distinguishing between enemies.
So this was such a difficult task.
Advertisements
It might be easier to just go to war.
‘Phew.’
He shook the flame while breathing steadily.
The rapidly spreading flames head towards another monster, but this time they pass him by. The reason is:
‘Blue armband. Check.’
A dark blue uniform with purple embroidery. A blue armband tied to the left arm.
This was a member of the night-killing unit that had infiltrated under orders.
He was just passing through and killing other guys.
How many times like that.
Only after the flames had swept across the area did he stop.
“after….”
It seemed short, but it took longer than expected. You could tell just by looking at the amount of bets I used.
He bent down, catching his breath as if he was tired.
Pasaasasak–!!
One by one, the buildings began to crumble.
It’s because I was too busy distinguishing people to pay attention to the buildings.
A building that has been built for a long time is collapsing.
People might be shocked by this.
“… Thank you…!!”
“Thank you so much…!”
Everyone was busy repeatedly thanking each other for saving their lives.
“This is not the time for this! Evacuate quickly! I will guide you.”
Before people can even calm down, Hwangboga’s unmanned unit comes out and moves with the civilians.
“Great courage…! Thank you so much! I will never forget this favor…!”
“The Great Swordsman of Soyeomra…!”
“…”
I waved my hand vaguely at the annoying voice.
‘I thought it was a power that was too noticeable, but it helps in times like this.’
It’s a chemical compound that looks good even without it.
But it turned blue so it couldn’t go unnoticed.
Thanks to that, it seems like it was easy to see him constantly running around trying to save people.
I think it’s perfect for advertising purposes.
anyway.
I asked, wiping away the sweat that was flowing down my face.
“…Please give me a situation report….”
Advertisements
Maybe he was a little tired. There was a breathy sound in his voice.
In response to the question, the figure in the blue armband that I had saved earlier lands and kneels before me.
“The number of casualties is not yet known, but all survivors in the area have been evacuated.”
It is a clear voice without any wavering.
Thanks to that, it was easy to ask questions.
“…What about the movements of other forces?”
“Twelve from the Hwasan faction, an unknown number from the Shaolin faction, have confirmed their participation. Also, the number of members of the Alliance who participated in the battle is a little over thirty. In addition, several members of the clan and sect participated.”
“…”
I can’t help but laugh out loud as I listen to the report.
‘If you add them all up, it’s probably two to three hundred at most.’
This is the number of people currently moving to prevent the attack.
It hasn’t been that long since the raid began. Are there only this many people participating?
‘This is ridiculous.’
How come there were so many martial artists who attended the martial arts festival, but less than half of them are active?
‘No matter how much your feet are tied.’
A curtain spread out in front of a pavilion.
What was prepared to tie the feet of the masters there was not actually installed only in the main hall.
Why would you have identified and located Sega, who came to Hanam the other day?
It was intended to tie down some of the stronger forces.
I’m sure the number is small because the work was successful… .
‘Even if that’s not the case. This is something that was stagnant and burst out.’
Something that has been pending for a long time.
There are probably many reasons, but the biggest one is different.
‘The Shinryongwan Raid Incident.’
The past, when the Black Dragon Sword appeared and the wind of blood blew.
That might have been the problem.
The number of late emperors who died at that time was very high. There were also many future generations of the noble families and clans of the time.
They even held a political party meeting to try to resolve the situation.
‘That doesn’t mean the distrust will subside.’
It must have started already then.
I’m talking about the distrust of the first order of things.
No matter how many changes are made and the leader is changed, it is something that cannot be helped.
So when this kind of accident happened, there must have been many people who tried to avoid it rather than raise their hands.
Someone will step up. I don’t want to be a victim.
Thinking like that, everyone backed away or hesitated.
Advertisements
The problem grew bigger as it overlapped with what Maeng had done so far.
‘… It’s truly amazing.’
Honestly, I expected it wouldn’t take long to suppress the raid.
That’s what we had planned from the beginning.
‘It’ll take twice as long.’
It took twice as long as expected.
‘Thanks to you, it was a close call.’
I turned my head and looked around.
It’s quiet.
The place that was called the center of Hanam was so quiet.
Elsewhere, the raids may still be ongoing, but at least on this land, it remains calm.
Wooooow—!!
Spread your mind wide and check again.
Fortunately, there is no sign of it.
‘Success first.’
Up to here it’s fine.
“Hoooo… .”
I exhaled and looked to the side.
“Please tell them that there will be no disruption to work and that everything will proceed as planned.”
“…All right.”
After hearing the words, the intruder left his seat and I narrowed my eyes and looked into space.
It’s safe to say it’s night now.
That meant it was black.
The blackness makes the scarlet lines stand out clearly.
“…”
After confirming this, I cleared my throat slightly.
Woohoo-!
The line that was continuing had reached the end.
It was as if the line had been waiting for the area to be cleared of all people… .
Woof.
Now they are completely connected to each other.
When I checked that, my eyes narrowed involuntarily.
The finished stem resembled some kind of pattern.
A huge pattern rising in the sky.
It’s a strange sight.
Advertisements
I never dreamed I would see something like that in my life.
However, there was a bigger problem than that strange pattern.
‘What is this…?’
I could tell intuitively.
A line that has been completed and lost its light. The wind that has stopped quietly. The land that has stopped vibrating. Even the sky that has stopped moving.
That strange sight was a sign.
A sign that something is about to happen.
At that moment, I made that judgment and was extremely cautious.
yes.
The sentence that stopped the light soon let out a sound.
‘Coming.’
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!!!
A strong beam of light was shot towards the ground.
The spewed out crimson pillar began to dig into the ground in an instant.
