Chapter 279 – Chapter 12 – Variables
“Why! Why don’t you kill me!! Haven’t you already been betrayed enough!!”
After the breathtaking scent of plum blossoms wielded by Master has dissipated.
I screamed at my teacher while holding on to my neck, which was still attached.
“What on earth is that damn disciple?! How much more do you have to sacrifice yourself for me.!”
“It’s not like that.”
“What do you mean no?”
“Soyeon is not for you.”
“Yes?”
-Tub
The teacher’s hand naturally rested on his head.
It was a very familiar feeling, but one I hadn’t felt in a long time.
“It is said that in order to see the sword of the volcano, you must abandon the five passions and seven passions, cut off ties with the world, and become a hermit.”
“… Isn’t this the teaching that all disciples listen to?”
“I thought that too and followed his teachings, but the higher I got, the more difficult it was to let go of the last few things I had in my hands.”
-Seuuk
Words were coming from deep inside to immediately throw away Master’s hand that started stroking my head.
I couldn’t do that because I felt somehow at ease.
“On the contrary, what I thought I had thrown away in the past comes back and becomes a mental demon, strangling my neck… And the guilt of not being able to let go of what I am holding in my hand also becomes a mental demon.”
“… Are you trying to teach me something now?”
“That can’t be right. This is just my complaint.”
… What on earth do you want to complain about?
“I am so happy every moment I spend with him… Every time I see him lustfully seducing me at night and shyly greeting me when the sun rises, I am so thrilled that I am alive and exist now.”
“…”
-Cracked.
“But the teachings of the volcano… The enlightenment I have accumulated throughout my life tells me that I must throw this away.”
“I guess that’s because it is a feeling that is not allowed for a Taoist monk. The teacher also told me that.”
“… And so I decided to abandon the teachings of Hwasan.”
“Huh?!”
He was a teacher who was more just and follower of his teachings than anyone else in Hwasan.
But such a teacher abandoned the teachings of Hwasan?
“Are you crazy?”
“The guy who threw it away first has bad speaking habits.”
“So, why would you do something like me, Master?”
It was absurd that he followed a disciple who was so crazy about men that he threw away the teachings he had accumulated over the years.
Once you reach the level of a teacher, abandoning the teachings is not as easy as it sounds.
Since it means throwing away everything you’ve accumulated, it’s something that can easily lead to coinage if you do it wrong.
“Rather than struggling to become a hermit, I just decided to live like a human being. Although he is selfish and faithful to his own desires, he is a human being who can pioneer his own path.”
“… B, but then Master’s sword…”
“You misunderstand. My sword is the process of becoming an immortal. In other words, it was built while I was still human, and there is no need to destroy what I built just because I gave up on becoming an immortal.”
“… Isn’t this sophistry?”
“When the strong speak, sophistry becomes faith.”
-Bruise
… Is this the teacher I knew?
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed to see that the person who had been so tightly confined not only to those around him but also to himself had suddenly changed.
“So… I won’t kill you for me, not for you.”
“… Is that what you want?”
“I might have a child of my own someday, but I don’t want to go through the experience of cutting down the boy I once raised as my own with my own hands.”
“… Haha.”
For this reason, there was nothing more to say.
I did this because I was frustrated with my teacher who was constantly tied to me and couldn’t move forward, but if it ends up like this…
“Really. How miserable must I make my disciples be for them to lose their senses?”
“When I think about what you have done, I feel even more miserable.”
“… I guess so.”
Really.
I lost completely.
What can I do now for someone who has already found his own path in an unexpected direction?
“Then. Let me ask you just one thing that happened like this.”
“What is it?”
“It seems like there are already a lot of prominent women around Yoosung. Do you think I’ll have a chance too?”
“… Just try it out.”
“Master?!”
“Or, I’d like to apologize for the inconvenience you caused. If you serve several times that amount and later have an opportunity and ask for it, he won’t be able to refuse due to his personality, so it would be a good idea to aim for it.”
“… That way.”
Now, it may feel ugly to try to take Yooseong again, but
This is a life that has already become ugly.
Nothing will change if you do it once or twice more…
I have no choice but to struggle within it.
* * *
“Did I end up on this side? Ah, that’s a shame. Still, it was a gamble that I thought was half-and-half.”
“… Hey, Master.”
“… You don’t have to say anything, just stay quiet.”
At the place where I arrived to stop the woman with my teacher, an unbelievable scene was unfolding.
– Kugugung!!
-Pateuk. Ppadeuk.
“Space.”
There was a huge crack in the air.
It looks like something is going to happen at any moment, like a glass window about to break.
And that crack…
“… It is a barrier that surrounds the dimension.”
“… Yes?”
“I expected it from the moment you said you would take my student and all, but… I never thought it would be done in such a drastic way.”
Yooseong’s teacher, who came first, explained.
“If that barrier falls, beings from outside dimensions will be able to enter and exit this world without any restraint. Right now, everything from women like that to monsters wandering around space and greedy for life will be able to indiscriminately invade.”
“You know very well, right? Of course, I don’t mind as long as I can take out the hero.”
“What’s so good about that poor guy that he’s making such a fuss.”
“Everything.”
-Kugugu Palace!!
“The way you looked foolish when I first saw you… The way you were scared but determined to fight… The way you were happy when you won for the first time… And the way you collapsed in despair afterward and fell into my arms… All of that. I love every aspect of the warrior, every single thing about him.”
“… Soyeon.”
“… It’s not that there aren’t parts I sympathize with, but…”
Would I have looked like that when I looked at it from a third person’s perspective?
The image of being caught up in the emotion of love and rushing in ignorantly without thinking about anything else
It was an ugly sight that was nothing but a nuisance to the object of love or those around them.
… It’s like spitting in your own face.
“Han So-yeon? I thought you could still understand me.”
“Understand it, but it wouldn’t have been a lie anyway.”
Who do you think is a fool?
If that woman is of the same race as me, she would never allow me to lend or lend Yooseong.
You must be going crazy because you want to get your hands on Yooseong even 1 minute and 1 second faster.
“Aha! After all, similar people have something in common.”
-Sereung
“I want to immediately rip out those dirty eyes that look at the former warrior with the same eyes as mine. How about you?”
“… Dong.”
-Quaaaaang!!
The moment I was about to answer, a huge pillar of flame erupted from beneath the woman’s feet.
“When the small talk is over, concentrate! That woman is not someone you can mess around with!”
-Chaeng!
We drew our swords and rushed towards the pillar of fire without anyone saying anything.
“… I don’t really like it when people force me to stop talking.”
-Spooky!
Let’s instinctively lean in to the low voice that goes straight to the brain, not the ears
-Saeng!
-Quaaang!
“Oh, you avoided it?”
The slash that passed through the area where my upper body was just a moment ago extended backwards and hit the surrounding mountain.
-Gulp
“Well… Feel free to use the weapons you’ve taken out so far. They’re useless to me anyway… The holy sword you used can’t be taken out unless you’re the warrior yourself, so that’s it…”
-Stop.
-Chaeng!
“… Hero?”
As she paused for a moment, she lightly blocked the swing of her sword and began to look away and make an anxious expression.
“Ha. Haha. Finally. You’ve finally come back, hero? Not that strange shell. My own. My hero.”
“Damn it! Stop it! You can’t let it go!!”
-Paang!!
With those words, she started rushing towards one direction like crazy
A desperate fight began to prevent the woman from reaching Yooseong.
* * *
“You’re a hero!!!! Why!!! You’re right that your memories have come back to life!!! But why on earth are you clinging to those bitches and not me?! Even if you add up the time I spent with those bitches, it’s dozens of times longer. !!! Why!!!”
“Uuuuu.”
“I’m sorry! I’m running so fast that I can’t even maintain my balance.”
A situation in which he is desperately running away from Erdel in an unsightly manner, being carried by Dang Ah-young.
I was suffering from motion sickness in real time due to the shock that was transmitted to my body with every step I took.
Still, one thing is encouraging
Now, unlike in the past, even if Erdel’s feelings are conveyed, she is able to skillfully ignore them.
In the past, I would not have been able to withstand the torrent of emotions and would have been nauseous.
‘But I left the holy sword to Yeo So-cheon, so it will be finished somehow.’
[You?! This sword doesn’t work?!]
‘?!’
[It seems to work to some extent, but if I try to use it properly, it rejects me! It seems like something is buzzing and telling me to return it to the owner.!]
‘What the fuck.!’
I thought the restriction on use by anyone other than the owner was lifted after the sword spirit disappeared, wasn’t it?
No, seeing as it is humming alone, the sword spirit may have been resurrected in the meantime, or a new sword spirit may have been born.
Because Shinsal’s karma has enough power to make that possible.
‘No, if that’s the case, you should have woken up a long time ago and said something!’
I stopped by and sent it to them, but now they are rejecting it.
First, reply to Yeo So-cheon.
…
“Ayeong-ah.”
“Huh, huh, okay?”
“I’m sorry this must be difficult. I have to send some telegrams to Yeo So-cheon… I’ll collect it first, so tell her to stay.”
“Yes.”
I feel sorry for Dang A-young, who is out of breath because she is running with me on her back, but please do her a favor.
-Keyiing!
-Sreung!
‘All, be careful not to stab Dang A-young.’
She safely raised one hand and summoned her holy sword back there.
-Wooow!!
At that moment, the holy sword begins to tremble like crazy.
‘Ah. He is resurrected.’
It was a happy yet unwelcome reunion.
