Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 314 (Part 3)



314 (Part 3)

“I already feel like I’ve stepped beyond the realm of humans. Is it an illusion?

Cheol-Young whom I met at Shaolin.

Namgung Myung and now Yeon Il-cheon in the end it all comes down to that.

It’s all just like the words prepared for the new deity.

– Those who defy time once accumulate sins in their souls. After all they have twisted a fate that someone else set.

– Therefore I couldn’t remain. If I were to go from the start it would have been right for Shin-cheol to go.

Defying time accumulates sins in the soul.

That phrase was quite bothersome in my ears but for now I ignored it.

“It was right for Shin-no-ya to go.”

– Yes Shin-cheol is… Shin-cheol is hope.

With a filthy mouth the woman revealed herself.

The old man who would show his true nature as soon as he got close to a woman.

Was he carrying such a heavy burden?

No matter how I thought about it it was nonsensical.

If what the man said was even one in ten true.

“…So what now?”

What should I do?

I had already devoured Shin-no-ya’s soul and energy.

I just came to shake off some baggage and now I’ve heard this kind of story.

What am I supposed to do now?

I quietly spoke.

“Um… can I just leave?”

I meant to ask if I could leave and later when No-ya wakes up I would ask him.

What can I do?

If things have come to this there’s nothing I can do.

I heard an incredible story but there’s nothing I can do about it here.

‘What about the items in the bag? What should I do?’

If the items left in the bag were originally prepared for No-ya wouldn’t it be right to take them?

As I looked around with a perplexed face.

– Even if fate is twisted it returns to its place.

– No matter how much you struggle the only truth you come to know is this.

The man spoke in a heavy voice uttering incomprehensible words.

– How could you have come to this place?

– How do you possess Shin-cheol’s soul?

– What conclusion do you draw from that?

“…What?”

Why is he suddenly acting like this?

I felt a strange atmosphere.

Why is he acting like this after explaining things so well?

– With all your might we have created this twist.

– It must be because someone has returned it to its place.

…

…

…

Kukugugugung.

As the words continued the bag began to shake slightly.

“What the…!”

– You cannot leave.

“What do you mean?”

I had to swallow hard at the man’s words.

I can’t leave?

“Why the hell is this happening all of a sudden? Are you taking your anger out on me because things have gone to hell?”

What am I supposed to do?

This man is suddenly going berserk.

Kukugugung!

“Shit…?”

The vibrations in the room intensified. Something was happening.

I hurriedly ran toward the entrance.

Creak!

I couldn’t get through the entrance and was bounced back.

“Damn it what’s going on!”

I shouted at the man as I stepped back.

But all I could see was his expression gradually growing colder.

“No damn it it’s not my fault that you guys are ruined. Why are you suddenly doing this to me? Blood Demon or whatever I’ll stop it!”

I was moving with my life on the line trying to stop Heavenly Demon.

And I was also trying to stop that Blood Demon who suddenly barged in.

“You shouldn’t be doing this to me!”

I couldn’t understand why he was suddenly trying to destroy evidence.

Does he really have a mental illness or something?

The space began to warp.

It was clear that if I stayed still I would be done for.

‘Should I burst it?’

I didn’t know if it would work but it wasn’t the time to hesitate.

I spread my hands and drew up my qi.

I never thought I would have to do this right after my injury healed.

If I burst the flame now I would get hurt again.

‘Right now I can’t afford to care about my injuries.’

I have to survive don’t I?

Hooook-!

Qi gradually gathered at my fingertips.

‘Flame…’

– You are a disaster.

Just as I was about to use my secret technique raising my qi for the killing intent all my qi scattered and disappeared at the man’s words.

It was such an absurd statement.

“Damn it what did you just say?”

– I do not know how you have lived.

“What did you say you bastard?”

– How did you come to possess Shin-cheol’s soul? How did you reach that level at your age?

– Moreover.

– How could you defy time like me? I do not know.

“…!”

It seemed the man also knew that I had defied time.

How? How on earth?

Sadly this wasn’t the time to question that.

“…What does that have to do with me being a disaster? Then you should rather keep me alive.”

If you know that I defied time alongside you cleaning up the mess others made.

You should send me another piece of cake or something.

“Why are you trying to kill me you crazy bastard?”

– Those who send disasters and create karma are not fools. They do not make the same mistake.

“More nonsense.”

– Have you never thought it strange about your regression?

“…What?”

– That is fate.

Kukugugung-!

As the vibrations made my head ring and I felt the end approaching.

I couldn’t move as if my body was tightly bound by the words the man had just spat out.

My regression…?

The words I just heard pierced my heart like a dagger.

My thoughts stopped and I felt empty.

Heavy thoughts filled my mind.

‘You are a disaster.’

The man’s words kept coming back to me.

I felt like I was suffocating.

Kukuguguk…!

As the distortion of space reached its climax.

I was floundering in my thoughts.

I felt my body being swept away by the collapsing space.

Even then I couldn’t take any action.

At that moment.

Whoosh-!

Suddenly my hand moved of its own accord.

“…Huh?”

My feet moved simultaneously with my hands.

It was definitely not my will.

– …What…!

The man watching me seemed to be caught off guard as well.

His eyes widened in surprise.

I was also flustered.

It felt as if someone was controlling my body…

[You’re so unsure of yourself. If that’s the case you might as well cut it off. You foolish child.]

“…Huh?”

At the voice that rang in my ears.

My dazed mind suddenly cleared up.

The thin fierce voice was the tone I had longed for.

“No-ya?”

As I called out tremblingly.

I heard laughter in my mind.

Chuckle.

—-Shin-cheol.

The man also seemed surprised and spoke.

But No-ya said nothing in response.

Unlike during the time of Hwang Ah-bul-yeong he didn’t even greet me.

My body moving as if drawn suddenly reached out into the distorted space.

It began to peel away the countless layers of cloth and search for something within.

“No-ya? Is this really the time…!”

I spoke urgently but my hands moved here and there against my will.

And finally among the piled-up items.

I grasped something.

– …You will regret it Shin-cheol.

The man watching from behind said.

[Regret?]

Only then did Shin-no-ya speak to the man.

[As always that is my choice. That way I will have no regrets.]

A confident voice mixed with laughter it was Shin-no-ya’s unique tone.

– Shin-cheol…

[You’ve become quite a fool in the time I’ve been away. Il-cheon.]

[But it was nice to see you.]

As soon as No-ya finished speaking.

Hooook-!

Around the object I held in my hand.

A fragrant scent filled the entire room.

It was a thick and enormous fragrance unlike anything I had ever felt before incomparable to anyone.

[Hold your breath you brat.]

No-ya said that and soon my vision was.

Drenched in countless petals of fragrance.
