Chapter Index

    ***

    Before jumping into Namgoong Soyeon.

    “There will come a moment when Master becomes dangerous. Then, can you stop that monster’s movement for a moment?”

    Su Jyoju asked Young Ma.

    “I will stop her, even if it means tearing my arm.”

    “There is no need for that. It only takes a moment.”

    “Can I ask… what your plan is?”

    When Youngma asked cautiously, Inho with a tired face smiled and said.

    “That dagger. They say the governor’s poison is applied.”

    What his finger was pointing at was a dagger shining purple among the many weapons the Young Demon had taken out.

    “Are you planning on poisoning her?”

    “What if… What if… It’s not a bet, but if you heal your body with the blood you absorb, you won’t be able to win by destroying the dantian.”

    Su Qiaoju, who spoke his thoughts slowly, took the dagger from Youngma.

    He muttered while looking at the dagger that was shining a mysterious purple light.

    “Then you have to poison that blood and make it collapse on its own. A lot of people died in Heukcheongyo, but that guy didn’t absorb the blood.”

    Thinking about collecting the bodies and burning them, Inho spoke with confidence.

    “The plan is for me to grab Noegeom’s body and have Lord Xiao poison her… Wouldn’t it be better to tie the weapon to my wire and throw it?”

    “No. It’s obvious that the flying thing is coated with poison and will avoid it. Then we will never have another chance.”

    “I’m being presumptuous… Didn’t Master Su not learn martial arts? No matter how sharp a knife is, it must have enough stamina to wound the body of a well-trained warrior.”

    “Don’t worry. Because there is a way.”

    His grinning face was filled with confidence that he would not break down, and Youngma could not say anything more.

    So now.

    “Master Sogyo!!!”

    As blood flowed from Inho’s mouth, which was pierced in the stomach, the fallen spirit screamed.

    She was already so injured that she couldn’t get up easily.

    “Inho…!”

    Cheonma, who barely came to his senses, was unable to continue speaking after seeing his disciple.

    “Okay… I thought I was getting used to this.”

    Inho’s body trembled, bleeding dark red.

    “You idiot…!”

    The Heavenly Demon could not finish his sentence and just looked vainly at his reckless disciple.

    Namgung So-yeon, the person who pierced him, looked ecstatic as she saw In-ho’s blood flowing down the red awl.

    “Ah… Confucius. Are you in a lot of pain?”

    Her eyes glowed magically as she saw Inho’s blood soaking her body.

    “Yeah… It fucking hurts.”

    With a grin, In-ho looked down at Namgung So-yeon.

    “Confucius… I was thinking about it. I think all these problems came about because we were divided.”

    “…Is that so?”

    “Yes, that’s right. I think it would be better for us to become one. That way you won’t be disturbed by anyone.”

    Inho rolled his eyes as he felt the awl piercing his stomach digging deeper.

    “Ugh…!!”

    “Inho!!!”

    In desperation, Cheonma got up and threw herself at Namgung Soyeon, but was hit by the swinging arm and flew to where Youngma was.

    “Okay… then now we become one.”

    Namgung So-yeon opened her mouth wide and bit In-ho’s neck.

    Blood spurted out from his neck.

    “No… no… no…! No!!!”

    “Master!!”

    The Heavenly Demon crawled on the ground, screaming like a person who had lost his mind, and the Young Demon grabbed the cult leader’s body as it tried to jump out.

    A fountain of blood spurted out, and Namgung So-yeon greedily craved his blood.

    How long has the meal been over?

    After filling up his stomach, Namgung Soyeon put him down on the ground.

    As he lay on the ground, his chest was rising and falling very slowly.

    Although he was still alive, it was clear that it wouldn’t last long.

    His lifeless face was already turning swarthy, and blood was constantly flowing from his abdomen.

    “Ah… Confucius came into me…”

    Namgung So-yeon muttered while stroking her stomach. It looked as if she was carrying Inho’s baby.

    Namgung Soyeon turned to Cheonma and Yeongma.

    “Okay… let’s finish now. It’s not fun, and I don’t want to waste any more time.”

    – Jeopuk Jeopuk

    Namgung So-yeon’s legs, which slowly approached them, suddenly gave out.

    – Slurp

    Namgung So-yeon, who was sitting on the ground, looked like she didn’t understand why she did that.

    “Huh?”

    I feel a chill down my spine and my blood dries.

    “Huh? Why is this…?”

    Black spots begin to appear on her once white skin.

    “Ah..?”

    I feel nauseous. A lump rises from my throat and hits my mouth.

    “Uweweweew!”

    Namgung So-yeon spits out a dark red lump and quickly looks back.

    In-ho lying on the ground. There were also black spots on his body.

    “No way… wow…”

    Namgung So-yeon staggered to his feet, vomiting blood.

    As she walked towards In-ho, she felt her breathing become difficult and fell forward.

    “Gong…Sir…!”

    Namgung So-yeon reaches out to In-ho and calls out to him pitifully.

    ” Confucius, why…?”

    At the call, In-ho turns his head and looks at her.

    “….Second…Commissioner…”

    “M…plum blossoms…”

    “Yeonhwa’s revenge…”

    “Dog… same bitch.”

    “Confucius…!!!”

    Now blood flowing from my eyes.

    Namgung So-yeon, who was pouring out all kinds of filth all over her body, died.

    The end of the genius who appeared as the divinity of the martial arts world and was highly anticipated by everyone was quite boring.

    ***

    I feel a tap on my cheek.

    The body is heavier than that. It’s hard to open my eyes, and now it’s hard to breathe.

    Still, I have to get up.

    When I opened my eyes with difficulty, I saw a familiar face.

    “Master…”

    Before I knew it, Master and the Young Demon were by my side.

    “Inho! You came to your senses. wait a moment. It will neutralize the poison. It will get better soon, so just hang in there.”

    Is it because I mixed my body a lot?

    Or is it just because we spent so much time together?

    I knew what she was saying was a lie.

    If there was a way to save me, I wouldn’t have made that desperate face.

    “It’s okay… It’s already late.”

    “Don’t say things like that!! How dare you say that in front of your teacher… in front of your teacher… Ugh…!!”

    I feel a weak tap on my shoulder. It’s probably a slap and a slap on my shoulder.

    “Master So… Is this what you mean by unconditionally poisoning people? ”

    The Young Demon spoke to me as if I had committed high treason.

    “Then… I… I don’t have any inner strength… so I thought I couldn’t stab it… So I did it like this.”

    I raised the corners of my mouth and responded with all my might.

    Before running towards Namgung So-yeon, I plunged the dagger into my thigh.

    And then I provoked her and made her absorb my blood.

    Throughout her journey here, she often appeared to be trying to drink my blood.

    Perhaps it was her superhuman patience… or the righteous will of Namgung So-yeon that remained in her that stopped him.

    However, I thought that the current Namgung So-yeon, who had fought enough battles and absorbed the blood of countless people, would definitely drink my blood.

    With a fully prepared meal on the table, who would refuse it?

    So the result is like this.

    we won

    “Why.. are you like that! If Master So goes like this…”

    The spirit demon with a distorted face sheds tears.

    “The leader of Sogyo…hehe, he is from Cheongyo.”

    “Yes?”

    “He is not a person to be protected… but a person who sacrifices himself for Heukcheongyo…”

    “This is… what a small priest should do…”

    The General, Youngma, and Gwonma spoke to me.

    The leader of Heukcheongyo is Cheonmago. They say they give up their lives for that Heavenly Demon.

    “Me too… yes… for my teacher… this is what I do…”

    And for the people of Heukcheongyo who disappeared like fallen leaves.

    “Stop talking bullshit!!!”

    Master shouted again, ending the conversation between me and the spirit demon.

    She buried her face in my chest and sobbed.

    I slowly raised my hand and stroked her hair.

    “Don’t cry… Master…”

    “Hehehe… Inho… Inho… don’t leave me behind…”

    Pat pat pat.

    Run your fingers through her hair with affection.

    “Well.. the teacher takes a lot of effort..”

    I enjoyed the feel of her hair even more as I felt my chest becoming wet with her tears.

    Because I couldn’t feel it anymore.

    “Cough!!”

    I feel short of breath. I feel my abdomen expanding.

    It’s probably a phenomenon caused by addiction.

    The teacher is somehow alleviating the symptoms, but it is pouring water into a poison that is at its bottom.

    “Master… I have a favor to ask.”

    “Inho… Okay, I’ll listen to whatever your request is. Do you want the world? I will place it under your feet. Do you want a woman? You can take as many concubines as you want. So…”

    “So…”

    “So please don’t leave me.”

    As I listened to her plea, something hot formed in my eyes.

    But I don’t want to end like this.

    I want to face the end with a smile and in the best possible mood.

    Because… ever since I started moving through dimensions, I’ve been doing meaningful things.

    “Master. Please send me now.”

    I clearly convey my intention.

    “No… No!!! Letting you go again… no…”

    She held my hand and rubbed it against her cheek, muttering like a crazy person.

    I held her hand and made eye contact.

    “Because of the poison… it’s hard to stay longer. Please kill me as painlessly as possible… at once.”

    “…No. I’m not ready to let you go.”

    “Because you won’t be able to prepare for that anyway. Please send it now.”

    “…….”

    She remained silent, and in the meantime I coughed up blood a few more times.

    Tears flowed endlessly from Master’s eyes as he looked down at me.

    After a long wait, her mouth opened.

    “Then… tell me. That we will meet again someday. When we meet again, tell me that you will live happily ever after with me.”

    It sounded like a child complaining, so I chuckled.

    Okay, this is the last one. Can I do this too?

    “Don’t be sad. We will meet again someday, and when we meet again, I will live happily ever after with you, Master.”

    She laughed at my words.

    The sight of her smiling while crying was very sad, but it was also beautiful.

    “Okay… thank you.”

    After those words, my vision went dark.
