Chapter 49: One Who Lost the Present (3)

"You. Did you really understand the profundity I spoke of properly?"

"The universe begins from a single 'point' that is extremely condensed and restrained. You mean this? I know it well. The problem is I only know it."

"…Only your mouth moves."

Watching Kim Dokja performing the 543,214th thrust, a man frowned.

Turquoise long hair, long horizontal eyes, a sharp nose, and long eyelashes.

All these things harmonized…, to express it, he possessed beauty enough to slap Yoo Joonghyuk on the cheek.

However, the more beautiful the flower, the more dangerous the thorns it bears.

Returnee. Paradox of Baekchung. The hidden strongest of Peace Land.

All these epithets modified the man named Kiryos Rodgraim.

However, even he was taking the current situation very uncomfortably….

"I regret accepting you as a disciple given your lamentable talent."

"But you won't expel me, right?"

"…."

It was all because of this man named Kim Dokja.

His face is vague, and he spouts whatever comes out of his mouth. As soon as he saw him, he abruptly claimed to be an outer disciple of the Baekchung Sect and said he wanted to have him as a master.

Truly, a man with not a single likable aspect from one to ten, utterly reckless.

But….

"Your posture is crooked. Do it again."

"Yes."

"…Hmph."

Because he was a disciple taken in after a long time of over 50 years, and because he was someone who guaranteed to break through the crisis of his hometown that he couldn't do himself.

He decided to teach his disciple with all his heart.

'…And, looking closely, it's not like there are only dislikeable parts entirely.'

"Master."

"What is it."

"By the way, until when do I have to do thrusting a million times? Isn't this enough to move on to the next step?"

'No, I retract what I just said.'

As expected, this man was a disciple dislikeable from one to ten.

'Hmm…, when will the understanding be full….'

For reference, that disciple was a very wicked disciple who planned to fill only the understanding enough to use the skill and run away since he started receiving his teachings.

'…By the way, I wonder if that side is going well.'

Kim Dokja listened to his nagging continuously with his ears, performed the remaining approximately 450,000 thrusts with his hands, and recalled his companions who didn't come with him in his head.

Not anyone else, but Jung Heewon, Yoo Sangah, and Kang Yuhyeon are there, they say…. Still, the anxiety is the same.

Of course, such a thing wouldn't happen, but Kang Yuhyeon could suddenly change and try to kill all his companions, couldn't he?

…Besides, he doesn't know what that person, his biological mother, might do either.

"…."

Anxiety once bloomed rarely goes out of the mind.

Kim Dokja, who knew that very well, decided to empty the rushing anxiety by devoting himself to thrusting.

Without even realizing that the anxiety was being realized in reality.


"…Haha, well. I'm totally fcked."

Jung Heewon, who hit the concrete wall and was dripping blood drip-drip-, stared ahead with her two eyes slowly starting to close.

A crater so large that one might suspect a massive explosion occurred. Buildings cut neatly in various directions as if cut with scissors.

If someone said all these things were created by just one person, she would definitely laugh loudly and argue that it couldn't be true.

But it was realized as reality in front of her eyes, and he even exchanged blows with her.

…No, did we exchange blows? The meaning of exchanging blows was used when oneself and the opponent stood in a similar position to some extent.

But now? She is sprawled out due to the overwhelming power gap.

No strength left to hold the sword, and no stamina left to move anymore.

"…Haa, if I knew this would happen, I should have just ended it quickly."

Jung Heewon expressed lament over her judgment.

The battle with him was equal until he fought only with Shikigami, not moving directly himself.

From when he started using the technique firing formless blades, the tide of the battlefield began to tilt gradually towards that side.

And the victory and defeat of the duel were completely decided when he used both simultaneously.

No, thinking about it, isn't it really too much cheating?

Disturbing the gaze with Shikigami, putting in attacks without any interference from behind, and even when close combat was barely achieved, he wasn't pushed back that much, and even if damage was inflicted, some deer healed it.

Why doesn't the Star Stream talk about Probability leaving such a person alone….

Jung Heewon just realized one more reason why the world is lousy.

"So…."

"…."

Sighing faintly once, she looks ahead again.

Someone is standing. None other than that someone who turned this place into a mess and made her into a rag like this.

"…When are you going to wake up?"

"…."

"Honestly, isn't this enough? I think so."

Jung Heewon speaks to him with a sneering smile.

However, there is no answer returning.

"…If Dokja-ssi was here, something might have worked out."

Death is approaching.

Slowly, but surely.

At that moment, Jung Heewon recalled.

How long has it been since she was sprawled out so miserably and powerlessly like this.

…No. Not that long ago.

In the convenience store full of deadly poison, at Geumho Station led by Cheon Inho's group, and even when the Fire Dragon species appeared….

'…Looking at it like this, I am really absurdly weak.'

But why is it.

Even though her body and mind became a mess to this extent, instead of tears, brilliance dwelt in her eyes, and a smile spread on her lips.

"You know what? I've never thought I was lucky in my whole life. There were so many lousy things."

"…."

"…But, today feels like that thought I've had so far is being denied."

"…?"

-Pajijik…!!

Behind her back, which had become a mess, brilliant white wings began to bloom slowly.

Vitality flows into her dying body, and the fading pure white flames begin to burn again as if responding to it.

"What that means is…."

"…!!"

"You are really fcked now."

-Kwa-a-a-ang—!!

At that moment, flames thicker and hotter than any flames Jung Heewon had raised so far covered him.

He tried to block it at first, but immediately noticing what power that flame had, he completely revised his judgment and escaped from that spot through Shikigami.

-Fwoosh…!!

Everything happened in an instant.

The place where he was just moments ago became a sea of fire reminiscent of hell, and he, who thought he dodged by jumping high into the sky, was slammed back into the ground.

"…."

After organizing his dizzy vision from the powerful shock, he calls all the Shikigami spread around.

Not because he withdrew them because the opponent was weak enough to fight without calling Shikigami.

"This son of a ■■ couldn't break a single mental attack and did this to our Heewon…. Ah, cra■. Lousy filtering really f■ck…."

Because of the threat that he might lose all his Shikigami on the spot if he made a mistake.
