Chapter 190 – Five Tombs of the Prophet King
“It happened after we broke up in the lab…”
Put a pod behind my head.
Roll around.
Van Dark propped his chin against me and prostrated himself,
Rustle.
Nene lit a candle in the candlestick and put it by his bedside.
Then, like Van Dark, I propped up his chin and prostrated myself.
“Actually, after I broke up with Master…”
Long story.
Since Nene is there, love affairs are largely skipped.
First, the story of the fight with Alberic.
“What?!
He really is!!
Didn’t I tell you not to fight Alberic one-on-one?!”
“You fuck.
I really don’t listen.
So, how is it?
How strong is it?
Seeing that you came out well, you look more capable than I thought.”
Rescue prisoners.
“Hmm. It’s a biological experiment…”
Meeting Rumika at Cheonghaejin.
The agreement was made to open the way for the nomadic cavalry.
The tentacle monster appeared.
“… It must be the monster of the Eastern Highlands that Balak talked about.”
“Maybe it is,”
And past the story of meeting Duke Dupre and infiltrating the palace and fighting.
“It’s full of blue.”
What they went through to rescue the sick princess.
And finally, the summoned gold dragon.
“Oh my gosh!!”
“Whoa, so?!”
Angela jumped over the dragon’s head.
“… A knight of the moon?”
“You’re a friend whose whole body is a lump of liver.”
After barely defeating him, the story of the hypnotic release came out with a sigh.
“… They say history repeats itself, how can you be so alike with Master…”
“… Hey. I am sad too.”
“Ugh, why do you give affection to humans?
Two of the most beautiful demons are following you.
… Is it because of that orange-haired, freckled nun?”
“… Okay.”
“What the.
Master, scold him.”
“… Because it means Kamu.
I can’t help it.”
“And!!!
Master of Heaven… !!
I didn’t see it that way.
You’re up and running!
Is Kamyu a demonic man?
Why the hell… ?
What the hell is this kid doing well… ?
Didn’t you get your eyes closed?
Ah! Don’t hit me!
Anyway, so?”
The work of going to the golden dragon’s lair and rescuing the sickly princess.
Through the story of delivering the wealth collected in the dragon’s nest to Rumika, to the present.
“Whoa, he really… !
Camu, you!
I will follow you in the future
What kind of centurion are you?
Are you a battalion commander?
Will you run directly to the front line?
Or how many extra lives do you have?
Why are you doing this, really!!
It’s dangerous!!”
Unbearable, she hits me.
Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Oh, it hurts… !”
“You hit me because it hurts, Yonsuk-ah!!
Are you crazy
Are you insane?
A kid with a military corps commander and espionage officer, where is he crawling with a knife?”
“No, now just an informant… Sorry.”
“Crazy, crazy…
Hehe, he’s crazy, hehe!
To me… You gave me the necklace and went crazy trying to make me a widow again… !”
Oops.
Master has a trauma… !
My ex-husband died in the war… ?!
“Yes yes. Sorry. I’m really sorry.
Will you look at me? Huh?”
Puck puck!!
She beats me sadly in the chest over and over again.
“Huh!
He must have gone out of his mind…
What should I do…
Promise me… !
Huh, he said he wouldn’t let me live in a world without him…
Before me, black, I was crazy to go!
Liar… You are a liar!!!”
Puck! Puck puck!!
“No, the fight this time was before we promised…
I made the promise after it got smaller…”
“Oh, it’s Kamyu.
That’s not the point.”
Van Dark blocks my excuses.
But it’s too late.
“You! Hey, didn’t I tell you not to take berserk pills?!
I know how to use Blood Overdrive, yup, it’s more dangerous!!
Hey, are you going to die of a brain hemorrhage?!
With myocardial infarction, turn it off, do you want to die!
Didn’t even say not to do it, heh, did you use both at once?
I’m also, huh, to make a widow, huh, you bastard…”
Puck! Puck! Puck puck!!
“… Sorry.
I’m really sorry.
I won’t do that again.
Nene is crying and kicking the blanket and getting nervous.
I hold her face in my little chest.
Just like a mother bird holding a baby bird that is bigger than itself.
“Keep, keke…
Bad guy…
When you said you like me…
Not even thinking about me, oops, the guy who jumps on top of the dragon’s head…
That kind of thing, black, while doing, sucking, I thought, keup, didn’t you?!
You say you love me, but when you do something dangerous, hehe…
Didn’t you even think about staying and waiting!!”
“Sorry.
Love you.
I won’t do it again.”
“Huh!
Of course not, you bastard… !!
Are you single?
Not yet, oops, not married, black, do you think your body is yours?
Take responsibility… !!
If you promised, live and take responsibility… Whoa!!”
“,..You came back like this.
I gave you a necklace, but where am I going? Huh?
And I survived thanks to the knife you gave me.
It’s very sharp, and the ‘lifeline’ shield is strong!
Look.
Did you come back clean without any injuries?
No wounds?
That’s right, look
This is all thanks to the famous sword ‘Nene ♥ Kamyu’.
The sword you gave me!!
Pop. Stop crying!
Side. Side!!
Oh oh oh
Stop crying and douuk, let’s do it~
We’re pretty
Stop crying
Right, right
Well done.
Aww you are pretty side.”
Phew. I’m glad Marianne went to treat her thigh and other injuries.
I would have been very worried.
… I forgot that there are demons waiting for me.
Father, mother, brother.
It’s not that I don’t have a family, or that there aren’t demons waiting for me.
It was reckless.
“Turn it off… Oops!
Kuh haang…
Whoa… Hold on!”
You are trying hard to stop crying.
I’m struggling to soothe her like I would soothe her baby.
Van Dark let out a deep sigh.
“… Do you know that Master’s image is completely broken these days?
Where did all that charisma go?
It’s all because of you, bitch.”
“… That’s right. I am a sinner.”
Hehe, it’s enough if you know!!
Hehe, how can I live alone…
Bad guy…”
Nene wets my chest with tears as she holds back her tears.
… Ah. I have nothing to say.
I’m so sorry.
But thanks to that, the results are now…
“Ha, I heard that if you have a wife and children, you will lose your body.
Is this what it is?”
“Usually it is.
When you get married, just do it.
A guy who has been in the military for a long time, is there anything good about it?
After all, the purpose was to marry Rumika and Master.
Great.
At this point, you get married and live while eating delicious food.”
“It will be done only after the war is over.
If you win, both Master and Rumika will be safe.
I just want to live well, dude.
Think of your mother and go home then.”
“Crazy.
I’m fighting because I’m thinking of my mother, son of a bitch.
Oh, Mr. Lee.
He doesn’t say a single word.”
Pat Pat.
I hold Nene’s head and pat her on the back.
The cries gradually subside.
“Hey…
Never, whoa, don’t do that again.”
Side.
“Huh. I will always think of you.”
“… It has to be.”
“Ugh, chicken meat.
Hey!
I’ll go out and cut it.
I won’t be able to sleep here.
Uh huh!!”
“Yeah~ Goodbye~”
“You really are a bad boy.”
Van Dark doesn’t even show signs of getting up.
Bad guy
“… Anyway, that’s why the human kingdom split into two, right?”
“Okay.
I got permission from Rumika, and the school paper will be officially flying soon.
Now we must march to the capital.
Where is Balak?”
“I was at the forefront.
Yes, I did some applications to see the Battle of Belseburg.
When I turned Ballack into a freeroll, he took the lead on his own.
We’re backing them up with the middle and covering the flanks.
Master was on his way down supplying the rear army.
When the princess comes down, we should turn to the royal castle in Amity.”
“What about Khan?”
“The 6th Corps has been reorganized from the northwest rear and is sweeping the west.
It’s a temple and it’s empty, so it’s empty house robbery.
The enemies do the same to the Eastern Highlands, so I guess it’s retaliation.
We also secure supply routes and flank bridgeheads.”
The eastern highlands are advantageous for defense, and the tribes are far away.
Besides, the nomadic cavalry hired by Cheonghaejin will come there, so you can leave it to us.
On the other hand, the western side of Amitye Kingdom is a plain area, so it is easy for us to maneuver.
Dillism is successful.
“Since half of the regular army is down, it’s worth cleaning the capital, right?”
“We have to stick together or not.
It takes time to call and call.
And there are 200,000 enemies?
Even if we gather all four corps, there are less than 40,000, even if we combine auxiliaries and 28,000.
I wonder if Caltz and Arnolf, who are confronting 30,000 human army Jae-Seonbong, come down on the central front.
“Human beings are also torn apart by the struggle for kingship.
Since the Knight Commander of the Knights Templar is also dead, they won’t be able to move in perfect order like that.”
“Oops, I don’t know.
Let’s wait for the princess’ school paper.”
Van Dark must have been tired too, so he lay down straight away.
Oh right.
I had to ask you something.
Master has stopped crying, so let’s ask Van Dark first.
“Hey, Van Dark.”
“Uh.”
“Have you ever had a Flash Back while using spirit magic?”
“Flashback?
Well, there is.
Why?”
“The truth is.
I’ve been through something strange…”
With Nene in my arms, I started talking with Van Dark at my back.
Unknown typefaces that came out when Nuba Kane’s brain was massaged.
A resounding voice.
It was letters that appeared in the air, just like Alberic did.
“… So my ability level and Angela’s ability are displayed as numbers…”
“Stop. Stop.”
Stop.
Me and Van Dark flinch.
The one who spoke up was Master, who was burying his face in my chest.
“… Let go.”
“Yes.”
Seruk.
After coming out of my arms, Master taps the area around her eyes with the sleeve of her pajamas.
Then she straightened her posture and knelt down on his knees.
“Whoa, you better not say that anymore.”
“… Why?”
“Because that’s something I shouldn’t say anymore.”
Seruk.
This time, Van Dark sits up from his seat.
Is it because I felt that Master’s atmosphere had changed?
I sat up too.
“… Do you know the story of the ‘Prophet King’?”
“Yes.”
“A little bit.”
“Then do you know why there are five tombs of the ‘Prophet King’?”
We both looked at each other blankly.
I don’t think I’ve even heard of Van Dark.
“I do not know.”
“I’m hearing it for the first time too.”
“It is a very important story.”
Master lowered his voice and started talking.
Under the flickering candlelight, that night in early summer.
It’s like sitting around in the evening of a retreat and telling a scary story.
That’s how the story started.
“To the far east, before the current Hwan Empire was unified.
There was an Eastern king who led the six kingdoms.”
Van Dark and I pricked up our ears like grandchildren listening to old stories from their grandmother.
“The king was a very good swordsman and swordsman.
He was especially famous for his shapeshifting and prophecy abilities.
He is said to be the first king to acquire the ‘precognitive eye,’ the final form of awakening after clairvoyance and clairvoyance.”
“Could that king…”
“Okay. He is the progenitor of the current imperial family.
That’s why the imperial family of the Hwan Empire is producing transformationalists from generation to generation.
That’s why they created a system called the golpum system, and it’s also the reason why the blood of the imperial family is passed on through incest.
To inherit the great ability of our ancestors.
Well, there are three imperial surnames.
It’s a close relative, so there’s no big genetic problem.
So it’s possible.
In any case, the king saw the future with his foreknowledge and accomplished countless achievements.”
“Something like the introduction of phonetic characters?”
Van Dark quietly raised one hand and said.
You are an excellent student.
“Yeah, that’s right.
‘Hunminjeongeum’, which is now used all over the world, is a character that the Prophet King saw and learned from the future.
Do you know how big the impact is?
That’s why he is called the greatest king since the Great Flood.
But there is a problem.”
“Is it a problem?”
“Are you talking about the letter war?”
“That’s a problem, but the important thing is that it was stamped by God.”
“… Yes?”
“Are you stamped by God?
Are you the black sun god?
No.
If you are from the east, is it a water god?”
Van Dark and I tilted our heads.
Nene lowered his voice and pointed his finger at the sky.
“Just as there is a black sun in the center of the demon realm and a sun in the middle of the celestial realm.
There is an absolute will in the world.
I’ll just say ‘God’.
I don’t know what god the Prophet King believed in.
It is not specifically described in the history books.
It’s just being called ‘God’.
‘Something transcendent’, ‘absolute will’ or… Also called ‘the system’.”
“So what?”
“You did it.
Heavenly Leakage.”
Gulp.
I involuntarily swallowed my saliva.
“The Prophet King was a young king full of ambition.
The country was peaceful and prosperous.
The princess of Ayuta even brought the ‘magic tower’ and 3,000 of his men across the distant sea to ask for a marriage engagement.
Truly the Great Peace.
There is nothing to worry about, so I tried to make people’s lives better.
The problem is that it crossed the line.
Skills, culture, and knowledge that shouldn’t exist.
You started bringing them from the future or from another dimension.
Hunminjeongeum is just one of them.”
“… Did you offend ‘God’ by leaking heavenly secrets to Ye Jian?”
“Okay.
According to the legend, ‘God’ did not like the Prophet King who disturbed the law of cause and effect.
Karma and Dharma.
Destiny that can be changed through effort and fate that will never change.
The Prophet King’s Yejian is said to have the power to twist even Dharma.
So ‘God’ warned him.
Don’t write any more prophecies.
And if you ignore the warnings, they say you’re looking to punish him.”
“Then we should have just stopped there.”
I have no idea.
“Isn’t it like gambling?
What can be more powerful than knowing the future?
If I were a king, I would miss you every day.
The future.”
A tempting half-dark.
Is this the difference between those who bet money on other people’s love affairs and those who don’t?!
“Van Dark is right.
How many troubles and crises must there be for a king?
It is said that it is a peaceful era, but there are many people who always aim for power.
The ability to see the future is a temptation in itself.
So the Prophet King tried to resist the temptation.
And they performed sacrifices to the gods fairly, released prisoners, reduced taxes, and helped the people.
He was trying to appease the wrath of God.”
“He was a good king.”
“That’s right.
It’s a problem because it doesn’t end well.”
“Why?”
“Are you dying?
Oh, I was spoiled.”
“Idiot, it’s an old story, but of course he’s dead.
You’re human
Life is too short.”
“Damn.
‘I must have been murdered’, would you say?
Don’t hold the pod.
Tearing the young man?”
Fuck! Fuck!
“”Ouch!!””
Mistress, Van Dark was at fault, why are you hitting me too?!
Yangbiron, stop!!
“Don’t talk, Yonsuks.
You guys are over two hundred, Annie? Kid?
Ugh. Childish.
Just listen.”
“”Yes.””
Dentifrice. Concentration!
“Then one day…”
Gulp.
According to Nene’s tone, this is the climax.
“The Prophet King thought, ‘One more time, one more time,’ and activated his final Foresight.”
Under the flickering candlelight, it feels like being sucked into Nene’s eyes.
Drag.
Klopp.
This time, Van Dark also swallowed.
Now Nene is immersed in the story.
“I don’t know what he saw with his last vision.
It is only said that it is a secret wish that has been handed down as a top secret in the imperial family of the Hwan Empire.
The problem is the moment the Prophet King tells his wife, Princess Heo of Ayuta!”
Bang!
“Oh, what a surprise!”
“Ah! It’s okay!”
Nene slammed the floor, startling us both.
“Five-color lightning struck from the sky and split the Prophet King into five!”
“Oh my. Gambling is a disease.”
Lesson of the day.
“So the princess of Ayuta, Queen Heo shed tears and gathered her body and buried it.
But do you know what happened?”
“How have you been?
Did God even act as an adjutant?”
“Huh. That’s right.”
“Yes?!”
It’s very petty.
“… Every time Queen Heo gathered the bodies of the Prophet King and buried them, five-colored lightning struck from the sky.
Body… I cut it into five pieces again.
Ms. Heo prayed to God with her tears, but to no avail.
Eventually, the queen buried her husband’s body in each of her five tombs.
That’s why there is a saying among the proverbs of the prophets, ‘The Prophet King has five tombs.’
As a warning that those who carelessly reveal the heavenly secret will become like that.”
“… That’s scary.
But why did that story come out?”
Seruk. Tight.
Nene gently reached out and held my hand.
“Kamu, what you saw might be ‘something you shouldn’t see’.”
“!!!”
Nene is more serious than ever.
Just like you did as a teacher before making love with me.
With the way she taught me with all her strength.
“Camus.
You can’t tell anyone what you saw anymore.
Including us.
To anyone.
That… Maybe it’s not a mental barrier.
It might be the law itself that governs this world.”
“Then…”
“You have to decide for yourself.
Self.”
Nene’s eyes focused on me.
As if there were other beings besides her beyond those clear eyes.
