Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 310 (Part 2)



310 (Part 2)

The moment the Black Dragon Sword heard the words.

The Black Night Palace Head spat out hundreds of blades made of energy.

The time of night.

Concealed the presence of the dark blades.

The thick darkness surged towards the Black Dragon Sword once more.

But before that.

Crack.

The hand of the Black Dragon Sword was faster.

“Ugh…!”

“It wasn’t like this before. How did it end up like this?”

Was it the influence of inner demons?

Or was it a problem with the direction the Palace Head so desperately pursued?

The Black Dragon Sword could not know.

And didn’t particularly care.

Until it had served its purpose.

It hoped that the Palace Head would not break.

After all it was too bothersome to discard such a figure.

“Did you say you were curious about who the reinforcements are?”

Swoosh.

A cool wind blew in from winter.

Feeling a breeze that seemed mixed with the scent of blood.

The Black Dragon Sword spoke in a dry voice.

“Dark King.”

“…!”

At the name uttered by the Black Dragon Sword.

The eyes of the Black Night Palace Head widened.

The leader of the Dark Night assassin group.

A king of assassins who had never failed a single assassination.

Dark King.

That he was coming to Henan was all.

“Then he will not fail. You have only one goal so remember that.”

Finishing his words the Black Dragon Sword released its grip from the Palace Head’s neck and rose.

The body that blocked the moon in the sky.

Somehow gave the illusion of growing slightly larger.

“The possibility of myriad poison immunity. The bloodline of the Dang family.”

Poison Master Dang So-yeol.

“You just need to capture that girl and bring her here. It’s a simple task.”

“…Poison Master? Not the successor of the Sword Lord?”

The Palace Head vaguely understood what feelings the Black Dragon Sword had towards the Sword Lord.

That’s why it was incomprehensible.

To the Palace Head’s question the Black Dragon Sword replied.

“Chuckle… Unlike you I won’t let revenge cloud my plans.”

With that leaving the speechless Palace Head behind.

The Black Dragon Sword moved deeper into the forest.

Before long the formations were all spread out.

Now it was just a matter of waiting.

For the many things to come.

‘As a prologue to announce my resurrection this should suffice.’

To announce that I the Black Dragon Sword am still alive.

Erasing the Shinyong Temple which was the future of the orthodox sects.

That wouldn’t be bad.

If I were to kill all the numerous prodigies.

The reaction would surely be intense.

‘Then what kind of expression would you make?’

Because of someone I couldn’t handle.

If the Central Plains were to be stained with blood once again.

Wi Hyo-jun.

What kind of expression would my friend make?

The Black Dragon Sword was truly curious about that.

Entering the forest the Black Dragon Sword leaned against a large tree and closed its eyes.

It was a place where the moonlight could not be seen.

‘It really isn’t long now.’

With eyes closed it thought.

This plan would not fail.

The Sword Queen was an unexpected figure but.

For that it had summoned the Dark King and found a way to evade the eyes of Cheonan.

As long as it was careful of any possible intervention from the falling sword.

This matter would not fail.

‘Just like last time.’

As long as there was no existence like Wi Hyo-jun.

That was all.

It had already been a month since entering Shinyong Temple.

It had spent nearly thirty days in this unbearably dull situation.

If there was a problem.

It was the thought that crossed its mind every morning upon waking.

The mere annoyance of having to endure this life for a year.

‘What’s with this practice?’

They say there’s practical training based on theory during the day and night.

If one doesn’t properly engage in practice or training.

It could lead to expulsion so it was making an effort.

‘The theory part is fine but.’

As I’ve said repeatedly about demonic beasts there’s no one here who knows the theory better than I do.

Even if there were it would only be among the instructors.

There was no way I would fall behind in the tests for them.

Thanks to that.

-Jin-ryong is not only ferocious but also exceptionally intelligent.

Such rumors were spreading again.

No it’s all good.

As long as it’s just about being intelligent.

Why does it have to be prefixed with ferocious?

It’s truly ridiculous.

‘The one spreading the rumors should really be caught and made into a square.’

I must find out which brat keeps poking at me.

I must find out for sure.

Sigh.

A sigh escaped involuntarily.

Rumors gazes and having to endure for a year.

Everything was annoying.

But what was most annoying right now was something else.

“…What the hell is this?”

I was currently near the Principal’s office.

Sitting in the bushes where I had previously talked with Wi Seol-ah.

The purpose was the same as last time.

To find the secret that was underground in Shinyong Temple.

For that I was looking for a way to break through the formations.

But.

‘I can’t feel it…!’

The peculiarities of the formations I felt back then.

Now I couldn’t feel them at all.

Back then I could clearly see the flow that Wi Seol-ah was touching.

And now I had been flailing in the air for quite some time.

‘Could it be….’

A thought crossed my mind and I frowned.

‘…Can I not do this alone?’

Just as Wi Seol-ah had held my hand to let me feel.

Is it that I cannot sense the formations by myself?

‘That would be troublesome.’

Knowing the location I thought I could find it.

If that was the problem it would be quite troublesome.

‘Should I bring Wi Seol-ah now?’

It would be confusing for Wi Seol-ah.

But I had to make a quick decision.

Because time was running out.

Glancing.

I cast my gaze towards the Principal’s building a little distance behind me.

‘I need to finish this before returning.’

Cheonghae Il-gyeom had left the Principal’s office empty.

I had ‘asked’ the Sword Queen for that.

‘…I don’t know where Wi Seol-ah is what should I do?’

If I had known it would be like this I should have brought Wi Seol-ah with me.

I thought I could find it alone since I knew the flow.

‘What should I do?’

I didn’t know how much time was left to run back and bring Wi Seol-ah.

That said I couldn’t just bombard this place.

I couldn’t hide the recoil while trying to control it.

To burst the formations.

At least the destructive power of Yeomok level was needed.

The moment I burst it.

Cheonghae Il-gyeom would surely notice the explosive energy around.

‘Tsk.’

That left me in a situation where I could do neither.

Of course I couldn’t just stand there and wave my hands.

Time was of the essence and I couldn’t afford to hesitate.

In the end feeling that it wouldn’t work out.

I thought I had no choice but to find Wi Seol-ah and bring her.

“Just what have you been doing since earlier?”

A voice came from behind me.

“…What are you watching ants or something?”

I hadn’t sensed any presence.

‘This is bad.’

It dawned on me.

That this area was either a rare creature or some other force.

That the presence was not easily detectable.

Hastily turning my head back.

The owner of the voice was looking at me with a subtle expression.

“…Who are you?”

As I asked in disbelief.

The guy made a similar expression.

“That’s what I want to ask.”

In the place I turned to.

A tall young man stood one I had to look up at for quite some time.

With a tall stature and a handsome face.

Yet somehow looking a bit tired.

In the midst of that the young man wore a martial arts uniform marked with the symbol of a shaman.

He was someone I knew well.

Seeing that I asked back.

“Why are you here?”

Jang-ryong Woo-hyuk.

He was looking at me.
