Episode 48 What makes me lonely when I live alone?
Objects around began to sway as if they were alive. The writing table, the cabinet, and the swords and fans standing on the wall all fell down. It felt as if it was melting and turning mushy in the heat.
The floor also shook like waves. It seemed impossible to exercise walking skills in this place where walking was difficult.
The walls and ceiling were also shaking, and lines like a checkerboard were forming, confusing the view.
The voice of the Soul Mazon resonated as deeply as it did in the cave.
“The world you lived in is just an illusion. “This is the real world you are seeing now.”
Naturally, the Cheonma Self-Defense Technique was activated. If I hadn’t learned the Heavenly Demon Defense Technique, I would have already started to lose my mind to him.
However, it was not a situation where they could escape the crisis by recklessly attacking.
The Soul Mazon standing in front of me must be an illusion.
Since I had not yet unleashed my strongest magic, I was able to control this situation. I controlled my ears and spoke calmly.
“It’s a world where you can save money on alcohol. “Even if I don’t drink, I feel dizzy as if I’m drunk.”
The Soul Mazon looked surprised when he saw me calmly joking when he should have already collapsed.
The next moment, I heard his whisper in my ear. It was the overlapping voices of several people whispering rumors.
“The rumors were true. I heard that Gongja Lee became a sleeping dragon and began to ascend to heaven.”
Before I knew it, he was next to me.
I couldn’t tell if the person standing next to me was imaginary or real.
I thought I would have to cut it down to find out, but I started to have doubts about whether I would be able to cut it down. This thought occurred to me before I even drew my sword, so if I were to fight him, it would be a very difficult fight.
I could clearly see why my father had come and warned me.
Even though the Heavenly Demon Defense God Technique has been activated, if he is so distracted and even attacks at this time, how on earth can he defeat the Subsoul Mazon?
I turned my head towards the Soul Mazon standing next to me. His face looks extraordinary because it is so ordinary.
“I have no intention of ascending. I want to enjoy this life for a long, long time. That’s why I want to become stronger.”
To be exact, it was the life that the Subhonmazon pursued. Because he survived until the very end. He left many words before his death, and the following were words he often said.
―The reason I worked hard my whole life to become strong was so that no one would kill me.
He was a person who truly valued his life. The Heart and Soul Method was also an expression of such self-love.
The Soul Mazon grinned at me.
“That’s a great idea.”
At the same time, the rumbling around stopped. The surroundings became dark and then bright again, and before I knew it, the surroundings had changed.
The space that seemed crazy had disappeared, and now a vast plain was spreading out. It is a sight that makes you feel good just by looking at it.
The Soul Mazon was standing far away in the middle of the field.
I shouted at him.
“It’s a really cool martial arts skill.”
Originally, if I wanted to upset him, I would have said hex or trick instead of martial arts, but I didn’t need to do that now. Because in his world, giving up was a wise choice.
“It’s a martial art that only I can perform in the world.”
he said proudly. But that wasn’t true.
Pungcheon Cyoju can also perform the same martial arts. This was a fact I learned in the past while searching for a sound bell. Because the roots of the martial arts that the two learned were in the demonic arts of the blood religion.
“How is it? “Don’t you want to live in a world like this?”
He was standing far away, but the voice came from right next to him.
“If you teach me, I will be grateful to learn.”
Then, the Soul Mazon appeared in front of me again in an instant.
“It’s more sinister than I thought. “You’re trying to take the world’s divine power for nothing.”
“Thanks to you, you can get me, right?”
He looked into my eyes. His black eyes became as small as dots.
“I can clearly see what you’re thinking. “Even if you fool a fool like Hyeolcheon Doma, you can’t fool me.”
“What am I thinking?”
“He wants to shake my hair and punch my ears. He says this while grinding my cheek. “You idiot, what are you doing that you don’t listen to?”
“It’s similar, but it’s wrong. You idiot, what are you doing, killing people? Let’s take out your conscience-less heart first! How is it? “It’s a little different, right?”
The Soul Mazon was not angry. He was confident that he would kill me, so he displayed the composure of a strong man.
“Isn’t it hard to die as the son of a religious leader? “So you want to die by my hands?”
“It can’t be. “Isn’t it better to be a living third-rate person than a dead best person in the world?”
This was also something that the Subhonmazon often said.
I thought the expression on the Soul Mazon’s face changed strangely.
His black penis, which had become as small as a dot, returned to its original state and all of his demonic energy was withdrawn.
The surroundings returned to their original state. Again, we were facing each other in the Soul Mazon’s room.
“What I just showed you is just a taste. If I wanted to, I could open a hellish place and make it impossible for me to come out for the rest of my life. “Aren’t you afraid of me anyway?”
“I’m afraid. I’m afraid. So you’re not saying you’ll convince your father?”
The Soul Mazon stared at me blankly for a moment and then laughed out loud.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Even his smile was unusual. Laughter was a strange laugh that broke the hearts of others. My insides were shaking and I felt nauseous.
“I have to admit this much. “It was really worth the effort of cutting board to line it.”
As expected, he was keeping an eye on my relationship with Thomas. Well, this would be the same for not only this Subsoul Mazon but also the rest of the Mazon.
“Look here, Mr. Lee. “Please leave now.”
“Even if it’s just to see your father’s face, please be considerate for the time being! “Then I will leave.”
Since it was a threat against my father, it would work for two or three months.
“If you see me again, you will never return to this world.”
I walked out without saying anything. Because the verbal conversation with him is now over.
* * *
Seo Dae-ryong, who was waiting outside, asked me.
“Has your work been handled well?”
“If it went well, it was good. If it didn’t go well, it wasn’t.”
“I think it was a good thing, Lord, to come and find a solution to that scary soul mazon. Whatever it is… it’s something no one has ever done. I think there is meaning in that.”
What consolation for this dark and perverse guy?
“You’re very angry, aren’t you?”
“Do you think so?”
“yes.”
“I was really angry when I first saw the body, but I’m okay now. “I’ve already made up my mind.”
Seo Dae-ryong looked at me for a moment and then started walking again.
“Are you going to leave without getting an answer about what the decision is?”
“I already heard it. It’s the look you’ve always shown until now. “The look in your eyes before you achieved the impossible.”
I smiled sheepishly.
“This is why you must have a right arm.”
“You keep calling me your right-hand man. Isn’t this military officer your right-hand man?”
“Ian? “Ian is not your right hand man.”
“So, am I the right hand man over this warrior?”
He was slightly looking forward to it.
“I have a good right arm, but I can’t beat Ian.”
“What does it mean?”
“Ian is my heart, my heart.”
“Now, even though I’m your right-hand man, you’re still upset?”
I laughed out loud and Seo Dae-ryong laughed along with me.
“I’ll buy you a drink today.”
“really? “Are we finally going to the highest level of kiru?”
“It’s a pub.”
I pouted my mouth and Seo Dae-ryong shouted Park Bong.
“Okay, then, since this is the first liquor our salty inspector Seo has had in a long time, let’s drink it with our left arm and left wing of our heart.”
“If the left arm is the Demon Lord and the heart is the warrior, who is the left wing?”
“there is. “Let’s go.”
I walked away with long strides. I went a long way ahead and looked back at Seo Dae-ryong.
“Aren’t you going?”
Seo Dae-ryong originally said on the spot with an apologetic face.
“sorry. This is the only thing I can do for you. “If it’s the same heart….”
“If it’s the same heart?”
He looked at the soul mazon’s residence. The look in his eyes made me want to go in, grab the Seobhonmazon by his hair, and drag him out. I felt the heat that I would have done if I were stronger.
Our gazes intertwined in the air.
I’ve been relying on this little, gloomy guy quite a bit these days.
“Just accept your heart.”
“That’s right!”
After leaving Seohwanjin, we headed to a pub together.
“It looks like it’s going to rain.”
Indeed, there were so many dark clouds that it looked like rain was about to pour.
“You caught me well. “It’s raining and the cost of alcohol today is no joke, right?”
“It’s okay if it’s at a pub. “There is no need to spend money because there is no woman.”
“Ah… It’s such a sad story, right? It won’t work. “I’ll have to buy the alcohol.”
“Gongja Lee, you don’t have any women, do you?”
“I have Ian, right?”
Seo Dae-ryong blinked as if he didn’t know that Ian would appear.
“You’re an escort, right? If you think about it that way, I also…”
“You had that junior at that time?”
Seo Dae-ryong’s face turned slightly red.
“Not that junior!”
We took the most spacious seat on this floor.
“Welcome, Mr. Gakju.”
These days, the best customer for owner Cho Chun-bae is me. He said his sales doubled thanks to the Hwangcheongak branch. Not only that, he said that life has become better because the tyranny of warriors has disappeared.
“Don’t worry today. “Because the table won’t break.”
“Haha, what if it breaks again? “As long as no one gets hurt.”
“Look forward to it. “Because this is the day that this friend’s hidden money comes out.”
“I will make it delicious and serve it.”
Cho Chun-bae brought alcohol before serving the actual food.
We didn’t talk for a while and just drank quietly. Seo Daeryong, as Seodaeryong, and I, as I, were lost in thought.
The Soul Mazon came to mind.
When I think of him, my fighting spirit surges fiercely along with the thought of wanting to kill him.
If it were me before, I wouldn’t have been drinking like this on a day like today. He must have rushed to the training ground and swung his sword non-stop.
When I was young and faced with setbacks, I used up all my heart and mind in trying to overcome those difficulties. I didn’t know at the time that if a person is desperate, they can escape through effort.
But that doesn’t happen anymore.
The more angry I get, the more I try to stay calm. Because I now know that drinking with my people strengthens me as much as training.
At that time, Seo Dae-ryong spoke.
“But I feel a little strange today. “My heart keeps pounding.”
“Have you seen a pretty girl? where are you?”
As I looked around playfully, Seo Dae-ryong laughed.
“You don’t even like women?”
“Who is it? “I don’t like women.”
“is not it? “I thought Mr. Gakju wasn’t interested in women.”
She’s a woman. In my past life, I was lonely because I lived alone all my life, but at times I wasn’t lonely at all.
“Are you lonely these days?”
“What makes you lonely when you live alone? I’m just bored. “Isn’t loneliness the feeling you get when you’re with someone?”
“oh! “I’ll have to use these words later.”
“Use it on your favorite junior.”
“I said I don’t like it. And we never meet again.”
“Shall we put them in the same group and have them do the work?”
“It’s done. “A relationship should happen naturally.”
“Look, you like it, right?”
“That’s not it… it’s done. “Ugh, I shouldn’t say anything.”
he drank
“Is your heart still racing?”
“yes.”
“It looks like something fateful is going to happen today.”
“No way.”
Meanwhile, Cho Chun-bae brought the food.
At this moment, Seo Dae-ryong didn’t know what changes today’s decision to buy alcohol would bring to his life.
“Let’s binge today!”
Even though I’m not good at drinking.
