Chapter 858 – 849 the Road to the Beginning and the End
The world… It’s really spacious.
It was the impression of a child who had experienced yesterday’s events since the day before yesterday.
In particular, the shock when I met Noe Myeong-jo was enormous. How could there be such a strong and beautiful creature in the world?
Huge as a mountain, dealing with the feared lightning, flying in the sky… You said it was a divine beast, right?
… Who would have thought that the green-haired little sister was also a divine beast. I really didn’t even think about it.
I will probably never forget the scene when I came down with the storm wrapped around my body and collided with the capital.
And there are people who fight and win against such creatures, and there are people who fight and win against such strong creatures who receive orders from their father…
=… Ouch!?=
As he walks in a daze and stumbles over a rock again, Ryuhi looks at his son with concern and asks.
=It’s a baby. Would you like to learn how to walk again?=
=Oh, no! It was a mistake!=
Huini’s joke hit Yua, who stood up with a red face and dusted herself off.
=But you’ve fallen five times so far. If that’s enough…=
=I’m just thinking about what happened yesterday and the day before yesterday?!=
At Yua’s excuse, Ryuhi and the three sisters unconsciously nod their heads and look at Hwanin and the older ladies walking ahead.
Yua fixed her spear again and started walking. She spoke in a slightly subdued voice.
= Even such a strong sister risked her life to become stronger. When I think about that, the world feels really wide…=
At first, I just thought that someone as strong as my sister would have to put in that much effort to become even stronger.
However, when she later heard that if she had made a mistake, she could have really died, Yua felt complex emotions that she could not express in words.
A world where even a pretty sister who has no idea how strong she is has to risk her life to become stronger?
Ryuhi looked at his son’s profile for a moment and asked quietly.
=So, are you scared?=
=No. … Well, no, it’s a little scary. But she’s not even close to sister Anne, so worrying about that seems like a waste of energy. I will think about it later. =
The women cheered Yua in silence, stroking her head or patting her on the shoulder.
Because that’s right.
Presumptuous concerns are worthless. It is time for them to learn how to take care of themselves first.
There was a minor incident when passing the Noemyeong Hill, but after that, the group continued toward the forest-type labyrinth without any special or unusual incidents.
Anne tries to control the brain energy that has taken over her phase power, and Yoo Ah and her mother and aunt Party sometimes fight against the monsters that Hwan-yeon deliberately drives.
There have been times when I found memorable places and became lost in memories, and it was the same this time as well.
“…”
As they come down the yellow ridge and pass near the forest, Hwanin suddenly stops, and the group also stops and looks back at him.
Hwanyeon, who was sitting on Hwanin’s shoulder in fairy size, poked his cheek with her finger and asked.
“Why does it suddenly stop?”
“This is the place where I first met the corrupted Bardul I encountered in Linden Village.”
“Oh. “Here?”
=It certainly looks like a nice place for Bardul to live.=
Even though Bardul caused a strange change, I have a strong memory of first stepping into Cheonwon and encountering God, so I cannot forget what happened in Linden Village.
Could it be said that Bardul, who had mutated like an extraterrestrial life form, also remained in my memory?
“…”
Hwanin, who was about to resume his steps, paused and stroked his chin again, lost in thought.
Bardul is like the original form of Rukrang, or a half-brother separated from the ancestor.
I have a feeling that their corruption and mutation is the cause of the birth of Bol-gul… Is this a hasty guess?
After thinking for a moment, Hwanin shook off his thoughts and started walking again.
If we research Bardul and trace its roots back, we may be able to find clues to the birth of the monster the children named Bol-Gul, but the time allowed in this world is now less than 10 days.
Even if you come and investigate now, it will be difficult to come up with meaningful results.
Compared to that…
Hwanin smiled slightly when he saw Yua, who had become much more mature than before he left Yulkam.
As expected, it was a good thing that I brought the infant out.
One action is more meaningful than a hundred words, and the experience of bringing the child out and participating in the game several times contributed greatly to broadening the child’s way of thinking.
A little more time passed and the group, who decided to have lunch on a hill with a clear view of Lake Olzot, busily began preparing the meal.
=We will make the salad and vegetables!=
“I’ll help too.”
=Uh, then wise man, please cut the vegetables into bite-size pieces.=
= Sister Isilite, how will you use this meat… ?=
=That’s…=
Coo! Kueh~ Kuehkueh!
=They look hungry too. Immorel~? Could you please provide me with food?=
=Yes, ma’am.=
Since there are only 17 people and there are 5 of us in the group, it is noisy every time we prepare a meal.
A place a bit far away from such a temporary kitchen.
Anne, who was breastfeeding her pet, saw her pet remove her mouth from her nipple and asked, gently covering her slightly engorged pink nipple from sucking.
=Doryeong, how are you?=
“There seems to be no change in the state of arborization.”
=… Haha, I’m glad. =
Anne, who had stopped feeding her essence after a few days of watching her brain energy take over the role of her phase power, puts her bra back on and adjusts her attire with relief.
Hwanin took a moment to savor the aftertaste of the essence that remained in her mouth, and then she asked.
“You guessed it roughly, didn’t you?”
=Still, brain energy replaced the role of phase power. It’s natural to be worried.=
If there is a change, she can stop the water cotton, but it looks like Anne has no intention of letting go of the water cotton just yet.
I can roughly guess the reason. It must be because of Ayoung.
“Hmm. “The efficacy hasn’t changed, but the taste has changed.”
=Taste?=
“Okay. “The tangy feeling is stronger than before, so it can now be called carbonated water.”
Previously, it was a liquid that had a slightly sweet taste, like a slightly carbonated sap of the snail, but now it has a refreshing feel so strong that anyone who tastes it can call it a carbonated beverage.
=Um… So, what are your tastes?=
“That’s a meaningless question.”
After she answered with a smile, Anne blushed slightly and left to help prepare the meal.
It was a short break after finishing lunch. Hwanin visited Yua, who was learning letters while sitting with her mother and aunts.
Previously, I was a toddler who spent my days without any plans for the future, thinking, ‘I just need to be strong, right?’, But now my thoughts have changed, and I have started to act more proactively.
He started to show his desire for improvement.
Learning to write was also due to a change in mindset. Yua, who had been awkwardly holding a pen and writing down letters, looked up when she felt the shadow cast over her head and made a bright expression.
“Are you learning writing well?”
=Yes! I have memorized how to read and write and am now practicing my letters!=
When Hwanin saw the blackboard, which was a bit sloppy but clearly had letters on it, he smiled and patted Yua’s head.
“You sure have a good head.”
If you memorized Luclang in just two days, you can say that you have a good mind. With Ryuhi and her three sisters by her side, she won’t experience anything like Isil Rite did.
Hwanin looked at her infant for a moment, then took out a span-long metal stick from her arms and placed it in her infant’s hand.
=Uh… What is this?=
“Try to hold her right there in the middle with your right hand. Yeah, like that. It may shake a little, so hold it tight, and once you’ve squeezed it, try letting the phase power flow through her palm.”
Yua, who did as Hwanin told him, was startled when light suddenly erupted from a short metal stick and took the shape of a nine-pronged spear.
=Huh? Uh, huh?=
“It’s Nine Bolg, the bright spear that her father used. “It is a relic weapon that Ninebolg, a light spear said to have been used by Chevalier in the past, has grown once.”
=Ah, Dad’s weapon… =
The tension is rising.
After passing the hill, her eldest mothers told her what her father did.
She was told that there were her and her half-brothers in Hell Lumen and Fra Ver, El Widris in Meria Knoll. Also, her younger siblings inherited her father’s relics.
I was a little jealous of her younger siblings, but they were all noble people. Yua was satisfied with the relic weapon given by Hwanin and the accessories given by Yurpa’s older sister…
Hwanin smiled and said when he saw Yua worrying and wondering if he could accept this.
“The light spear is a dangerous weapon. If you use it incorrectly, you can hurt not only your enemies but also yourself. I am passing on the light spear to you because I have decided that you will use it best. And…”
Above all, the idea that the Gwangmyeongchang was their own weapon was widely spread among the royal families and high-ranking nobles of each country.
To other children, Gwangmyeongchang will actually be poison. To the children and the family.
=… They say you shouldn’t use your father’s spear carelessly. =
“Don’t leave it up to you to decide when to use it. Now you are the owner of the Light Spear.”
=…=
Yua, who naturally turned off the Gwangmyeong Chang function, held her core tightly with both hands and had tears in her eyes.
At first, I said such mean things to my dad…
Despite that, my father taught me how to speak, think, and fight without showing any signs of dislike, and even gave my mother and aunt several relics that said if you sell one, you could buy a village.
I feel like I want to tell my dad not to go and that we should live together.
But even Yua knows now. When this trip is over, Dad will leave for a faraway place from which he will never return. The God of Mercy is sending my father to a far away place.
Hwanin burst out laughing when he saw Yua, whose eyes were full of tears, but managed to hold on with her funny face without shedding any tears.
“And take this too.”
The next thing I took out was the demon leather jacket and coat that Ephness gave me when I left Yulkam.
When Epnis saw this, he looked surprised and touched, but was shocked to the point of widening his eyes at Hwanin’s story.
“These are all the leather clothes I received from Ephnis when I came into the world. When my father ascended to Asin, it became a holy relic. “You can wear it when you grow up.”
= Seo, holy relic…=
As Yua took her suit of leather clothes with her slightly trembling hands, Hwanin placed a thin notebook the size of her palm on top of it.
It was a description of her skills and feelings.
“The day you take everything in this skill book as yours and become able to use the Light Spear and relics perfectly, you will surpass your father in spear skills.”
=… Dad. Are you leaving now?=
When Hwanin suddenly handed over the gift as if they were going to break up, Yua eventually shed tears and asked.
“… No. I said the labyrinth isn’t far away, but I don’t like rushing ahead of a breakup. And we also have to teach them the use of the light spear.”
=Ah… Yes!=
Hwanin looked at Yua, who was hastily wiping away tears.
The efforts so far have paid off, and the relationship with the toddler has improved dramatically… After all, it is heartbreaking to see your child crying.
Hwanin, who cleared away the excuse-like words that appeared in his head, handed the core of the Gwangmyeonglance back to Yua and began teaching him how to use the Gwangmyeonglance.

“Mister. “If you look through God’s eyes, won’t you be able to tell whether those women are pregnant or not?”
“…”
“… “I guess you’re not pregnant.”
“I didn’t see it.”
=Hmm? Why didn’t I see it?=
“At first I tried to use my hands to keep her from getting pregnant. But after careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that it would be better to let things like this take their course.”
“Isn’t it too irresponsible to pass it off as natural? This is Radcea and those kids are Luke. If you can’t have children, or if some people have children and others don’t…”
“If you think like that, it will never end.”
There is no right answer to this matter. The only thing that matters is how little you regret.
When Hwanin gave a short answer, indicating that he did not want to talk about this topic anymore, Adneville crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at her girls.
‘Hmm… Looking at those women, I can feel the energy of the six-healing herbal medicine, so it seems highly likely that they are not pregnant…’
… Even though she was thinking about it, she stopped thinking deeply. As he said, it is best for her to let nature take its course.
Unless you stay in this world and take care of them until the end, you will only have regrets.
Adneville, who was about to move from her seat, glanced back at her husband, who was pulling on her husband’s sleeve.
“Are you angry? It wasn’t a story I brought up to hurt my temper. I thought of you…”
“I’m not angry, so don’t worry.”
“If you say that, it makes me even more concerned?! Now that I’m talking about it, you…”
“…”
As Hwanin shakes her head, stands up and goes somewhere else, her underground yul follows behind and continues to chirp like her tentacle.
‘Such-and-such, such-and-such gets hit… Is that right?’
Adneville chuckled at the sight of Yul in the basement screaming and running away after being hit on the head.
