Episode 223: Dealing with a poisonous person.
Do these two people look alike?
There was no resemblance that would have made the Poison King jump.
Because it was a momentary remark intended to turn Jindoggeosa’s attention to me.
The purpose was achieved. Jindokgeosa’s attention changed from the King of Dogs to me. Okay, deal with me.
“Don’t you feel bad when you see someone who looks like you?”
The look in the Poison King’s eyes when he heard this was like this.
This ugly guy and me?
That question was the same for Jindokgeosa.
“What exactly is the resemblance?”
Even if you think about it, they probably don’t look alike at all.
“To me, they look a lot alike. Even their eyes and mood are the same. “It’s somehow rebellious and yet has depth.”
Jindokgeosa frowned. That expression said this. Are you saying something like this in this situation? Rebellious? depth? In this underground prison where people are dying?
“Didn’t you look that handsome when you were young?”
What’s there to feel bad about looking like a good-looking person?
The problem was that he didn’t believe me at all.
“Cut the nonsense. “Tell me why you set out to seek interest.”
Jindokgeosa blatantly revealed his will to live. If he really said nonsense, he was going to make an example of it.
“I received help in prison.”
“How much help did you risk your life for?”
My eyes turned to the poison king.
“When I was fighting like a dog, that person became a dog and fought with me.”
Surprise and passion flashed across the Poison King’s face because he didn’t know if I would give him a reason.
Fortunately, those words worked better for Jindokgeosa than other elaborate explanations.
“What kind of loyalty are you talking about when it comes to prisoners? “If you act arrogantly one more time, you will disappear into a handful of blood.”
“yes! “I will be careful.”
Jindokgeosa looked at me and the King of Dogs in turn with disapproving eyes, but did not escalate the situation any further. Because each person was an important test subject.
Jindogeosa locked King Dok back in prison and then left.
I sent a message to the King of Poison.
-Thank you for your patience.
-Why did you come forward? I could have handled it myself.
-I know.
-Are you afraid that I might cause an accident?
-no.
-No!
After a moment, I spoke to him.
―I did it because I was afraid that he would endure it.
-!
The Poison King looked at me with a surprised face.
-I wonder if you will bear it. So, I think he will endure even if he gets slapped and is humiliated by that guy. The Poison King was probably patient for our plan.
The poison king’s clear and large eyes grew even larger.
―What if your flattery about looking like me didn’t help and that guy tried to kill you?
-Then we have to turn the table over. That guy should kill everyone here with his berserk side effects, pretend to be dead, and then leave.
-Then what about your favorite car? You’re the type of person who stays in his lair and doesn’t come out often, right?
-If you think about it, you will come up with a number.
―The reason you took this risk is because you didn’t want to see yourself suffer?
―That’s just it? That’s a really important reason. It’s such a big deal that you can throw it all away and go back.
Again, I revealed my true feelings when the look in his eyes asked if I was being flattered.
“The proportion of sincerity is increasing among flattery and sincerity.”
The Poison King who was staring at me disappeared from the small window.

Prisoners died every day.
Each time, Jindokgeosa came to the prison to confirm their deaths and glared at the poison king before leaving. It seems that the existence of the Poison King still feels like a thorn in his eyes.
He should have trusted his instincts more. Why do those clear eyes go against my feelings so much?
However, he was tired from repeated research failures and was unable to pay attention to the sense of crisis that kept sending signals.
Rather, he was becoming addicted to light waves every day. The Poison King was reading with so much precision and outstanding skill that he was unable to recognize the fact because he usually did not use his internal energy vigorously.
When he left, the poison king asked me.
-If everything goes according to our plan, will my car show up here?
-It will definitely appear. According to Gogun’s investigation, Aecha and Jindogeosa were not on good terms with each other. If we say that the experiment was successful, they will come and check it out in person.
-Based on the trend so far, a conclusion will be reached within approximately 10 days.
The end was now in sight.
* * *
For ten days, I concentrated only on the Cheonma Defense God Technique.
On the contrary, when the surroundings are chaotic, we often show unexpected concentration. I did that. In this narrow and harsh prison where prisoners die every day, I focused more on my training than ever before.
And finally, progress was made in the Cheonma Self-defense Gong.
It was the result of a combination of the changes in my body due to the recent increase in internal energy and the training here. Slowly, but step by step, the Heavenly Demon Tiger was moving towards Daeseong.
After going up a level, the Cheonma Defense God Gong was definitely different from before. It reacted more quickly and sensitively to crises and made me feel more connected to myself.
Meanwhile, the prisoner died.
If you listen to the stories shared by the drones who come and go to the prison to feed them, they say that if they fail this time, they plan to continue the experiment even if it means kidnapping ordinary drones.
These people did not care about people’s lives at all if it was for their own purposes. No, they were people who had no regard for other people’s lives in the first place.
These are absolute evil. In a place like this, experts like Jindokgeosa and Aecha secretly conduct experiments, so how can anyone stop them?
―My magic is to prevent such evil deeds.
And for the first time since I mentioned this, I was asked a question about the next generation.
The Poison King asked me.
-What about after you die? Will the next Heavenly Demon be able to protect the magic path? I wonder if there will ever be another person like you.
―Why do I worry about what happens after I die? The rest will take care of it.
―After going through so much trouble to build a new magic island, wouldn’t it be a shame if future generations ruined it?
Yes, it could be ruined. But I think that’s something I can’t do anything about. No, I thought it was right not to get involved in the first place.
―But how can you say that you are giving orders to future generations? Would you like to hear me ask you a favor? Just watch our lives and if it looks cool, you’ll follow it. If it doesn’t look good, you’ll change it.
Just like I did.
* * *
As the poison king expected, on the tenth day all the prisoners who came here died.
Now the only people left were Geommugeuk and Poison King.
Food continued to be provided for several days afterward, and of course the two people did not die.
Again a few days later.
The moment the two had been waiting for has come.
Finally, Ae-cha and Jin Dok-geosa came to the underground prison. Aecha, who had been hiding in his den, appeared for the first time.
“Did you really succeed?”
“exactly! See for yourself. Two successful combinations were found. “We just need to do more research and create a more stable mixture.”
“Let’s see!”
Aecha looked inside through the hole in the iron door of the prison where Sword Dance and the Poison King were.
His happy eyes became snake eyes.
“You are both so young. Doesn’t this only work for young people?”
At that moment, Jindogeosa almost cursed. It’s like this every time, but I never thought I’d do this shit, at least until today.
“Aren’t you ignoring me too much?”
A cold wind blew between the two.
“I just did it, so there’s no need to criticize me.”
After saying something obnoxious, Aecha looked back and forth at Geommugeuk and the Poison King in the prison.
‘No matter how you look at it, you look too young?’
At that time, Aecha’s heart started pounding. His sense of crisis worked furiously. what? What is this ominous thing?
Like a Taoist (賭神) changing cards in front of a Taoist Demon (賭鬼), the extreme meaning of the Poison King’s martial arts was displayed in the presence of the best Dokgong master of the four factions. One small hole was enough.
‘!’
At that moment, Aecha’s expression hardened. He smiled and approached Jindogeosa.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
The moment I got closer.
Hiss!
Aecha drew his sword as quickly as a thunderbolt and stabbed Jindogeosa in the arm.
Jindokgeosa was helplessly defeated by this surprise attack.
The moment Jindokgeosa was about to reflexively spray poison, Aecha was one step ahead and suppressed his demonic blood.
“Are you crazy?”
At Jindogeosa’s cry, Aecha grabbed his neck.
“What are you? “Did you take the photopolymer?”
Jindokgeosa thought that Aecha was going crazy with anger. Otherwise, there would be no reason to suddenly try to kill oneself.
We cannot say that the experiment was successful. Because only he knew how to create a berserk in preparation for something like this. I didn’t even write it down anywhere. It was only in his head. I know that, but there is no reason to kill myself.
“Cancellation! “Cancel the contract!”
The car suddenly vomited blood.
His face had turned black. Only then did Jindogeosa realize that he was addicted. He misunderstood that he had poisoned him and attacked him.
“You bastard! “I knew you would betray me like this someday!”
“Not me! “No!”
If the two people had always been on good terms, they would have looked around more calmly. However, since they were not on good terms with each other like enemies, all he could think about was that the other person was trying to kill him.
At that time, Aecha and Jindogeosa’s subordinates, who had been waiting outside, rushed in.
“Is there a problem?”
“Jin Dok betrayed! “Kill them all!”
Aecha’s subordinates drew their swords and stabbed Jindogeosa’s subordinates to death. Surprised by the fact that it happened so quickly and the news that their leader had betrayed him, Jindokgeosa’s subordinates immediately sprayed poison and were unable to fight back.
They all died, and Aecha’s men fell down one after another while running toward Aecha.
Aecha thought that Jindogeosa’s subordinates had used poison, but in fact, Geommugeuk had blown up the earth wind, suppressed their blood transfusion, and put them to sleep. They were the best witnesses to this situation.
Both Hadok and the push for blood transfusion were done through a small window inside the prison without being seen.
Aecha’s eyes returned to the sight of his subordinates falling.
“You traitorous bastard! “Cancel the contract before I kill you!”
Aecha grabbed Jindogeosa’s neck even more tightly. If I applied a little more force, it would break. Jindogeosa told him as he gasped because he could not breathe.
“If I really tried to kill you, you would already be dead.”
Because that was true, the car was confused for a moment. So, if they had tried to kill him, they would have killed him instantly with a stronger poison, right? A counterattack like this wouldn’t have been allowed.
It was right then.
Slurp.
The key that was worn at the side of Jindogeosa’s subordinate, who had fallen, floated into the air.
Jindokgeosa, who saw this first, opened his eyes wide.
A key flew through the air and opened the poison king’s iron door.
Slam!
Surprised by the sound, the car also looked in that direction.
The key flew through the air again and opened the iron door of the sword dance.
At the sound of the clanging sound, Aecha and Jindogeosa’s hearts sank.
As the door opened, Geomgeuk and Poison King walked out of the prison.
The car was dazed for a moment. Are you seeing useless things because of the poison?
Sword Dance and Poison King walked towards the two people side by side.
It was Jindokgeosa who first grasped the situation.
“Kill! “This is what the authors did!”
Aecha came to his senses for a moment and swung his sword at Geommugeuk.
How could an attack that would not have worked even if it had been planned and surprised would work now? Aecha’s sword pierced the air in vain, and the sword dance that penetrated into Yeomwangbo suppressed Aecha’s demonic blood.
Aecha looked at the sword dance with a surprised face. I finally realized it. Even if something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. It wasn’t about overpowering Jindogeosa and stabbing him in the arm.
The Poison King walked over with great strides and opened the poison pouch on Jindogeosa’s waist. At that moment, Jindogeosa was inwardly delighted.
Are you tampering with my poison pouch? Yes, hurry up!
Of course you will die. If you can touch it carelessly, what kind of poisonous bag can it be?
However, the opponent handled the poison more skillfully than he did.
Riding a gust of wind, the poison of Jindogeosa flew towards Aecha’s face.
“no!”
The sad cry of the car soon turned into a terrible scream.
“Aaaahhh!”
Since it is a Dokmun poison that only he uses, killing Ae-cha would be a Jindoggeosa.
So what kills Jindogeosa?
The hand holding the sword moved on its own by an invisible force.
Sigh!
It was lodged in Jindokgosa’s chest.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Uuuuuuuuuck!”
The two people let out horrendous screams at the same time.
Geommugeuk went and stabbed Jindogeosa under his eyes with his finger and flicked his nose.
Blood started flowing from his nose and eyes. Since his body already contains a sufficient amount of light poisoned by the Poison King, the side effects of the light poison will cause Jindokgeosa to go wild, and in the end, it will be concluded that the two people planned a double battle.
“…why?”
King Dok gave a short answer to Jindo Geosa’s difficult question.
“They make medicine like shit.”
Geommugeuk didn’t add anything to it. What I didn’t say was that your medicine led to stabbings and several innocent deaths, and that the child who lost his family was left alone. Because it was meaningless to him. Because those were words that wouldn’t even scratch his conscience.
However, to him who was full of pride, the poison king’s words must have been very hurtful.
This time, Aecha, whose face had been half-melted by the poison, asked Geommugeuk with difficulty.
“…Who are you? you?”
Geommugeuk stared at him quietly and spoke softly.
“He is the broad and I am the black and white.”
They named the two representative drugs they sell.
I wanted to say something, but my car’s life ended there. Just half a year ago, he would never have imagined that his life would end in such vain.
Watching Aecha’s head fall, Jindogeosa said to King Dok.
“…I have something to say.”
The Poison King came closer to him.
Jindokgeosa bit his cheek and spit out blood. It was blood mixed with extreme poison.
Sigh!
The King of Poison spread out a non-stop line and blocked it.
Blood flowed down the fan. In addition to the blood of Jindokgeosa, there were many traces of battles left on the fan. The Poison King seemed to leave the traces as they were, without removing or replacing them.
“A third-rate poison doesn’t work.”
Jindokgeosa, who had been thoroughly fooled until the very end, trembled in pain and shame, then quickly lowered his head.
Geommugeuk looked down at the two dead people in silence. It does not only mean killing one of Yayulhan’s four subordinates.
It was a moment that saved many lives that would otherwise die in the future, and it was a moment of revenge for the boy who lost his mother and younger brother. I was able to go to Seo Dae-ryong and talk to him. Go back and tell the boy. Your revenge has been achieved. They say that no evil will work in front of our school. So now, at least you can live happily. Their deaths contain such meaning.
Geommugeuk bowed his head respectfully to the Poison King.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
I had a really hard time in this narrow and stuffy place. Although he himself said that he trained all his spare time, Dokwang, who lived in the nature of Cheondogrim, must have been really frustrated.
“In the first place, dealing with a poisoner is this difficult and dirty.”
“I liked it. “With the Poison King.”
“Stop poisoning. It’s already enough.”
“yes?”
The Poison King walked out first, leaving behind a sword dance performance that seemed incomprehensible.
Just before leaving the place, Geommugeuk blew an earth wind and freed the blood transfusions of the subordinates who had been put to sleep earlier.
After a while, the two people disappeared from there without a sound as they heard an uproar in the back telling the superiors that Jindogeosa had gone crazy and betrayed them.
