Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 326 (Part 2)



326 (Part 2)

“Even if Jang Seon-yeon is trash.

If that’s the intention I can somewhat understand.

However Jang Seon-yeon is still Jang Seon-yeon.

“The attack of those demonic beasts. You’re planning it right?”

“•••!”

“I thought you would.”

Jang Seon-yeon’s eyes widen in surprise.

This was unexpected.

In her previous life Jang Seon-yeon was indeed an outstanding martial artist.

But compared to the youngest Captain Wi Seol-ah she had many shortcomings.

The reason Jang Seon-yeon rose to the position of Captain known as the Meteor Blade and called a hero by many was.

Because she had appeared like a meteor to save people from the demonic beasts and rescue them from the Demon Gate.

There were far too many instances.

The people regarded her as a new hero and a savior.

Even the son of the Alliance Leader Jang Seon-yeon was highly praised.

But Gu Yang-cheon knew.

In the end the attacks by the demonic beasts and Jang Seon-yeon’s rescues were.

All a play orchestrated by Jang Seon-yeon.

Ah to be precise it might be a little different.

Those who were eaten and met their deaths by the demonic beasts were real.

Only Jang Seon-yeon who used this to play the hero was the act.

As if to prove that.

“•••What do you mean…?”

Jang Seon-yeon’s face trembles slightly at Gu Yang-cheon’s words.

“You’re being delusional Mr. Gu. How could a person do such a thing?”

“I don’t know how you would do it. It’s just a guess.”

If one were to ask how a human could use the Demon Gate

The answer was already close at hand.

It’s right behind you.

The one who can open and close the Demon Gate.

‘Jae-gal Ji-hee.’

Whether it’s Cheol Ji-seon or Jae-gal Ji-hee.

It’s unclear whether they are cross-dressing or not.

But because that person existed Jang Seon-yeon was able to quickly climb to a high position.

The world always wants heroes.

Good-looking strong and with a solid backing.

It didn’t take long for Jang Seon-yeon to rise as a young hero while saving people from the Demon Gate.

Inside through the demonic beasts and the Demon Gate.

She threw people’s lives as fodder.

And used it for her own status.

Of course the reason Gu Yang-cheon disliked Jang Seon-yeon wasn’t just that.

It was indeed pathetic behavior but from the standpoint of someone who had no faith in the orthodox sects.

Hearing such things wouldn’t shock him.

He just thinks.

Jang Seon-yeon was indeed like that back then.

And wonders if it’s any different now.

Gu Yang-cheon recalled.

– What did I do so wrong to you?

At the same time he thinks.

From the beginning I should have killed you.

The reason for sparing the brain of the Demonic Cult Cheon Yu-rang Jae-gal Hyuk.

That guy was spared.

What reason is there to kill the current Jang Seon-yeon?

Seeing Jang Seon-yeon who was silent with her head down.

Gu Yang-cheon suddenly spoke.

“Alright. I’ll give you a chance.”

Cue

Jang Seon-yeon flinches at Gu Yang-cheon’s words.

“If you go back without doing anything now I might try to see you in a good light.”

Are you looking for a justification to spare Jang Seon-yeon?

No.

It’s just that he wants to shed the contradiction.

To spare Jae-gal Hyuk and kill Jang Seon-yeon.

At that time it was a simple reason.

Not the Cheon Yu-rang he knew.

Just a young boy.

And.

The reason he came to see her not as the Demon Sword Master but as Namgung Bi was also.

Because she was not the Demon Sword Master.

But just a woman struggling to find normalcy.

Gu Yang-cheon is not a saint.

He knew that best himself.

He would kill those who needed to be killed.

That guy was the one at the forefront.

Even so he wanted to confirm.

“How about it?”

Jang Seon-yeon still keeps her head down and remains silent.

What choice will she make?

With a slightly curious expression he waits for Jang Seon-yeon.

Unable to hold back Gu Yang-cheon speaks.

“Say something….”

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Only then did Jang Seon-yeon lift her head.

“•••!”

Gu Yang-cheon seeing Jang Seon-yeon lift her head suddenly had to close his mouth.

Her expression was blank.

Not the twisted face from earlier.

Nor the smiling face as if wearing a mask.

Only a blank expression.

There was not a single emotion on Jang Seon-yeon’s face.

At that moment.

Crack-!

“Is this…!”

An anomaly occurs on the ground where Gu Yang-cheon was standing.

The ground begins to crack like a fault line.

Whoosh!

The pressure from the ground anomaly sweeps through the surroundings.

Something is opening.

Looking at it Jang Seon-yeon speaks to Gu Yang-cheon.

“I’ve never seen this before. It’s truly a fascinating sight.”

“You…!”

Gu Yang-cheon tries hard to move.

But whether it’s the anomaly on the ground or something else.

His body stiffens.

“You won’t be able to move easily.”

What opens on the ground is said to have the power to bind even peak masters.

Seeing Gu Yang-cheon unable to move as if frozen Jang Seon-yeon exhales lightly and says.

“Indeed it’s right to get rid of you. You’ve been a nuisance from the start.”

Whether it was an unexpected binding or not Gu Yang-cheon’s eyes widen in surprise.

“Did you plan to kill me from the beginning?”

“Yes. I didn’t like the look in your eyes.”

As if exhausted Jang Seon-yeon brushes her hair back.

“I really didn’t like how a prodigy from a worthless minor clan looked at me like that.”

“ ”

“Moreover I don’t want to admit it but you’re incredibly strong.”

Saying that Jang Seon-yeon smiles slightly.

“It’s so annoying…”

The image of her throwing off her mask was completely different from the one she showed at the Shinryonggwan.

“Earlier the instructors asked what I was going to do with so many people.”

“You….”

“I thought it wouldn’t be easy for me either so I decided to just have a little fun. Fortunately I found someone who shares the same mind. This isn’t something you need to worry about since you’ll be gone anyway.”

The widening crack.

Before long it takes shape.

It’s strange that it formed on the ground.

But that appearance was undoubtedly the Demon Gate.

A Demon Gate created by others.

Seeing that Jang Seon-yeon couldn’t help but admire.

“Indeed… I did well to find it. I’ll be able to use it conveniently in the future.”

She felt satisfied.

Far more than expected.

Just looking at it gave her goosebumps from the overwhelming energy and atmosphere.

Wasn’t Gu Yang-cheon unable to move a single step?

‘I told you. I won’t let you go.’

She desperately wanted to make him kneel.

In the end she couldn’t make him kneel.

But this was enough to satisfy her.

At least she could erase him from her sight forever.

If that happened Wi Seol-ah and the world’s reputation would ultimately…

“Is this enough?”

“•••What?”

As the Demon Gate fully opened a calm voice unlike before invaded Jang Seon-yeon’s ears.

“What did you just say….”

“Hey you can close it now.”

Hearing Gu Yang-cheon’s words.

Whoosh!

Gu Yang-cheon who was standing on the Demon Gate suddenly disappears from Jang Seon-yeon’s sight.

He shouldn’t be able to move…!

“Cough!

Jang Seon-yeon’s vision shakes and her body violently sways.

By the time she barely regains her senses she is already being dragged up to the Demon Gate by her neck.

“Th-this…!”

“Lucky you.”

Gu Yang-cheon holding Jang Seon-yeon’s neck.

Was smiling brightly.

“If you really said you’d leave without doing anything it would have been a bit troublesome.”

“W-what…”

Crack-!

While Jang Seon-yeon is astonished by the current situation.

The Demon Gate laid on the ground begins to move.

It looks like a thick swamp.

Or perhaps a massive mouth trying to swallow her whole.

“Are you surprised at how it moves?”

“L-let me go…!”

“Right? I was surprised too. I can move though. Ah that’s not that important.”

“Let me go right now! If this happens you too!”

Even at Jang Seon-yeon’s cries.

Gu Yang-cheon just smiles.

“I was going to go from the start. You don’t understand do you?”

“What do you mean…!”

“Shall we go on a nice trip together?”

As Gu Yang-cheon speaks with a smile.

Kooaaah-!

The Demon Gate on the ground violently engulfed the two of them.
