The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 804 (804/820)
The surroundings became dark at night.
It is about time for darkness to settle and for dawn to slowly arrive.
The lights weren’t turned on, and since they hadn’t even been cleaned up, you could see the bushes were overgrown.
I wasn’t paying attention, but I felt like I needed to sort it out sometime.
Of course, I wasn’t going to do it with my own hands… .
Woohyuk is sick right now, so I think we should just order him to go to the iron line.
anyway.
Clang-! Clang-!
A time when only the sound of insects can be heard in a quiet atmosphere.
I walked lightly through the grass and stood in one place.
Right next to the moonlit area.
I stopped walking cautiously next to him.
Since when did it start?
It was a matter of being reluctant to either just watch the moonlight or stand under it.
I already knew the cause.
It’s such a ridiculous reason that I can’t help but laugh when I think about it.
“What the hell is going on?”
He bursts out laughing because he finds himself funny. There is no shame in being this ridiculous.
It’s probably okay now. But it’s still like this.
Even as I grew older, I felt like I was still there.
“…”
I guess that’s enough.
So, as I try to take a step into the moonlight, I feel my feet hesitating.
There has never been such a thing as this bullshit.
“Tsk.”
Finally, he retrieved his toes and stopped in place again.
It was strange that I was trying to do something like that.
I didn’t come here to do something like this anyway, so I should just get to the main point.
“after….”
I let out a sigh and closed my eyes.
And then he released all the energy that had been tied up.
Hooooooo-!!!
Through the bet, the senses that were locked away are awakened in an instant. The scope rapidly expands and all kinds of information comes in.
Sounds felt clearer and even the sensation of the wind brushing against my skin was amplified and more sensitive.

It feels much better than before, but it’s still uncomfortable.
I want to stop right now, but I freed myself up as much as possible to check something.
Saaaaaaaahh …
Clang-! Clang–!!
Countless sounds pierce into my ears.
It’s not that the sound gets louder because the sense of smell has increased. It’s more correct to say that more sound is heard.
We need to figure out at what range and at what distance it can be heard.
That was still too much.
‘Hmm.’
I feel like I have a headache after a while.
Apart from the fact that the sense of smell and firepower were maximized, it seemed like he wasn’t ready to accept it easily.
Sigh.
I took deep breaths and adjusted myself from the inside out.
The reason for liberating everything like this when even slowing down is not enough is none other than this.
‘Okay… then.’
I thought that by this point, you would be able to figure it out.
‘Where could it be?’
The released energy spreads out densely like a spider web around the area.
They spread it out so densely that it seemed as if they wouldn’t leave any gaps.
The sounds, the movements, and the information contained within them.
It was full of pain to accept, but I endured it and figured it out.
I felt like that was the only way I could know.
For a long time like that.
No, a moment passes that feels like a long time.
‘ah.’
In the midst of countless streams, I barely found what I wanted.
To put it bluntly, it’s like finding a small pearl in a gravel field.
It’s so fine that I wonder how I found it.
To put it another way:
‘Is it supposed to be like this?’
The formation of senses must be at this level to be able to grasp it.
‘This is ridiculous.’
It was truly to the point where I could only laugh in vain.
Tingling.
“…”

He frowned at the pain he felt.
The headache is slowly reaching its limit.
I immediately used my energy to close the airlock again.
Phew-!!
As soon as I closed it, the information that had been pouring in stopped and I was able to let out the breath I had been holding.
Wow, this is hard. If I had done a little more, I think I would have broken out in a cold sweat in this weather.
After shaking my head repeatedly, I shook off any remaining traces.
I carefully opened my eyes and looked at a certain place.
At first glance, it looks like there’s nothing there, just overgrown weeds and grass.
I wondered what was there because there wasn’t even any space to breathe.
“You’re a little late.”
The pilot was clearly saying that it was there, so I pretended to be fooled and relayed the message.
Okay then.
Swish.
‘crazy.’
A human figure suddenly appears in a space where there appears to be nothing.
Black uniform and pure white skin.
Dark black eyes that don’t match his shiny hair that’s almost white.
A young man with a body that looked roughly like he was from Irip appeared there.
The expression is unreadable.
It’s a face that you can’t even tell what it’s thinking.
The identity of that young man is the being called the Lord of the Night in the current Central Plains.
The king of all assassins and the master of the first assassination squad in Zhongyue.
A character who can kill anyone he wants, including the Three Lords.
He was a dark king.
‘… Okay.’
And looking at him like that, I swallowed dry saliva and thought about it.
As Nahi said, the Dark King arrived and I heard that he was coming towards my residence.
So I tried it just in case.
‘Did it succeed?’
We found the Dark King in a seemingly random location.
The presence of the Dark King, which was originally not even noticeable.
It means that we have been able to catch a little bit of it now.
The king must have also recognized the result, as he watched me quietly and then said.
“It seems like you have a chance.”
Advertisements
As expected, he seemed to notice it right away.
“I ate something good recently.”
“Congratulations.”
“… It doesn’t look like you’re celebrating. Thank you.”
There is no change in expression. It is very subtle to congratulate someone in that state.
furthermore.
“Where did you leave your other eye?”
“…”
For some reason, the Dark King had one eye bandaged.
It looks like there’s a problem.
“It’s also later than the stated time. It seems like you had some work to do.”
“you’re right.”
As he speaks, the Dark King caresses one of his eyes.
“It was a business deal.”
“Deal?”
What did you sell your eyes for?
There’s a deal there.
‘That means it didn’t come from somewhere.’
Well, he’s not the kind of person who would meet the Dark King somewhere.
If you were going to kill, then kill him.
However, there is a problem here.
“It looks like it’s not playing?”
The Dark King’s eyes will not come back to life.
He clearly told me that he couldn’t die even if he wanted to.
Since it has such an absurd regenerative power, I thought that even if I gave it to him, he would just regenerate it again.
“yes.”
The Dark King told me indifferently that regeneration was not possible.
“This seems to work independently of the curse.”
“… Is that so? Then, if you did well, you could have died, right?”
A situation where you give your eyes but they don’t come back.
That means the Dark King’s goal was also achieved.
The Dark King’s goal is death.
It must have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone who was looking for his own peace, but I wondered how it came about.
To my question, the Dark King said:
“That is not rest.”
Advertisements
“Not rest?”
“The eyes are not lost, but given to him. It is impossible to find the rest you speak of in him.”
“It’s hard to explain, could you explain it a little more clearly?”
“If I give my life as the snow you gave me, I will end up with him and live many more years.”
“…”
I frowned when I heard that.
Giving life does not mean death.
Rather, does it mean that you will be destroyed by the other person and live a life of nothing?
‘What are you talking about?’
It seemed like it would be understandable, but it didn’t work out well.
also.
‘The curse that Yeonilcheon received was put there by the Blood Demon. There is a being that can break through that curse and take away his eyes.’
Continuing with his thoughts, he continued to ask the Dark King questions.
“You said you went out somewhere. What on earth did you see?”
The Dark King left, saying that he had to go to the Demon Realm out of the blue.
What on earth did you go through there to end up like this?
When I asked him about it.
“I went to Taecheon’s Magic Realm and met its owner.”
The dark king answers.
“thereupon…….”
But.
“…”
“The Dark King?”
Before answering, he frowned for a moment as if lost in thought.
I looked at the Dark King’s expression, wondering what was going on. It was the first time I had seen him frown like that.
A little time passed like that.
“I see. I think it’s impossible to go any further.”
“yes?”
Suddenly, the dark king said something strange.
WHACK!
“…!?”
Suddenly, he grabbed my left pinky and ring fingers with his right hand and ripped them off.
It happened so quickly that I couldn’t even grasp it properly.
“… Dark King. Why all of a sudden?”
I wonder what he is doing, so I examine the finger that the Dark King has bitten off.
Advertisements
Chewy-!!
“her?”
Suddenly, black smoke engulfs the finger and it disappears.
After seeing that, I looked at the Dark King again.
“Is it forbidden?”
“…”
I didn’t answer, but I knew the answer.
Is this the price to pay for something you shouldn’t have said just now?
Two fingers for telling me a few words.
It was a task that was not very cost-effective. Furthermore, I could tell that it was not a martial arts technique.
‘The witchcraft side.’
Now that I could recognize the difference between the two, I could see even more.
That’s not martial arts, it’s the realm of sorcery.
Swish-!
The Dark King’s finger healed instantly, but did not regenerate.
I heard that it can be played back, too.
“… Oh, really. I’m sorry.”
I’m starting to feel a bit guilty because you raised two fingers to answer my question.
“The purpose of the Blood Demon is to tear down the rules of the world.”
“yes?”
The Dark King suddenly begins to speak again, just like before.
“He is not yet qualified to go directly to the other world. But that time is not far away. The masters of the other world are on guard.”
“Your Majesty, what are you doing now?”
“To have this qualification, one must first become an apostle… .”
Stop.
This time too, I closed my mouth in the middle. Next.
Crispy-!
The left arm, with its fingers torn off without any touching, disappears entirely below the shoulder.
I confirmed this and told him.
“Are you crazy…?”
You just threw away your fingers and now you’re going to throw away your left arm too?
I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t even think of anything to say.
“It was exactly the price of my left arm.”
The dark king remained calm.
How could you react like that even though I had my left arm blown off right in front of your eyes?
Advertisements
“I’m sorry I can’t tell you everything. But, it won’t take long for you to find the rest.”
“It’s not like you’re giving me homework. What the heck are you doing…? Since I’m going to die anyway, you don’t care about throwing away my arms?”
“yes.”
“aha?”
That’s such an easy answer.
“It was the lowest value I could give.”
“… This is what I mean.”
The purpose of the blood horse.
It’s too harsh to say lightly when you’re appearing after such a long time.
‘The purpose of the blood horse.’
A monster from the past who caused disasters and caused bloodshed.
A being that is still plotting something to this day.
The Dark King found out that his purpose was to break the rules?
‘… discipline.’
What kind of discipline are you talking about?
And why is the Blood Demon trying to destroy it?
A question arises.
A few years ago, I also heard about the purpose of the Blood Horse.
That goes for me too.
No, I guess it would be accurate to say it was me. It was a different place from here.
Even so, it was no different from the fact that it was a blood horse.
He told me clearly.
-Paradise.
He said he was dreaming of paradise.
He says that is his purpose.
But what if the information the Dark King found out is really true?
‘What do discipline and paradise have in common?’
What is the connection between these two?
What does the paradise that the Blood Horse speaks of mean?
Also, the most important thing.
‘For whom is paradise?’
The paradise that the blood horse speaks of.
The question was, who is paradise for?
“…”
Take a moment to reflect.
Advertisements
Then he raised his head and looked at the dark king.
“The Dark King.”
“yes.”
“You said something, didn’t you?”
“What is it?”
“I said I would kill you if you made me stronger. That’s what I meant.”
“yes.”
“Can you postpone it a little longer?”
“…”
“It won’t take too long.”
No answer came.
That wasn’t something I wanted to hear an answer to either.
Now I can only recall it.
Something you’ve been putting off with the excuse that there’s too much work ahead of you.
The most important things I have to do.
I had to remind myself of that, and now was the time to regroup and figure out what to do about it.
“I have a favor to ask.”
******************
Time has passed.
To be exact, two more days have passed since the Twin Swords were launched, and one more day has passed since all the members of Seongryongdae were selected.
I had to go to the blind right after the incident to recruit more people.
As I said last time, I was told to pick ten people, but the problem was that there weren’t enough of them.
Anyway, I’ll pick three more and open them.
Next time, open the room with the people you gave us.
After completing twenty.
The remaining five had to be taken with them because they had other work to do.
That’s how Seongryongdae was created.
“Meet the Great Master Seongryong Daeju.”
“… I meet the great lord.”
“Yes. Yes.”
Today was my first day at work as a general manager.
Going to work. The very word itself has a very similar feel to it.
I walked around the inside of the mansion, receiving many stares.
The news about the Twin Swords had already spread like wildfire, and the guy was said to still be lying in bed, unable to come to his senses.
In that situation, everyone found it strange that the perpetrator was walking around.
Advertisements
This was also strange to me. Naturally, I thought that he would not be allowed in or that he would only go in and out of the interrogation room for a while, but it seems that he is doing something just as Mukyeon said.
Thanks to that, I was still able to go in and out of the blind. As a result.
“… I see the great lord.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
“This was prepared by the Maeng side…”
Before he could finish speaking, he grabbed the robe that the man was handing him and put it on.
Flutter-!
A slightly large-looking robe is draped over the shoulders.
It was a robe given only to the highest rank in the Murim Alliance.
This is an item made using special monster thread.
It is not only not easily affected by fire or water, but it is also said that it can be used as a shield if you use it as a self-defense weapon because it is well absorbed by the bet.
It was a luxury item that I would never wear in my life.
‘I saw Mo Yong-hee wearing it, you know.’
Since Mo Yong-hee’s family was a family, she usually wore things like that.
‘This is a great potion.’
The feeling on my shoulder is incredibly strange.
I never thought I would ever wear something like this in my life.
In my previous life, I was a leader in the Demonic Cult.
This time, I’m playing the role of a major player in the political arena. Should I say I’ve become a dragon?
‘I don’t know about that, but it really did become a dragon.’
I let out a grumble to myself and then started walking.
As soon as we put on the uniform, we were guided to a place that I heard was probably the unit originally used by Ilryongdae.
Squeak.
As I open the door and go in, I see that there are already people gathered inside.
They were sitting in a large yard, split evenly in half. It seemed that one side was comprised of outside volunteers and the other side was comprised of those sent from the Confederacy.
The atmosphere was not good, as if they were confronting each other.
Ttukbuk.
Looking at that, I slowly started walking.
As soon as I arrived, all eyes were already on me, and I accepted their gazes indifferently.
I reached the center and looked at the two groups of guys with their packs on their backs.
First impressions are important.
‘It’s been a while since we’ve done this, so should we be a little more affectionate?’
He said that with a smile, recalling that.
“hi?”
I said it with the best affection I could muster.
Advertisements
But.
Ouch-!!
Those who saw my laughter somehow raised their guard to the max.
… Huh, fuck.
It’s been a while since I’ve felt a little hurt.
