Episode 1123
“Your guy… … !”
Hearing a familiar voice tremble with turbulence, I let out the breath I had been holding.
I slowly blinked and swallowed the blood that had accumulated in my mouth.
It was a strange feeling, something I had never felt before.
It felt hazy, like I was trapped in a dream that I could never escape from, but at the same time, I could clearly see everything around me.
And as always, the system gave a clear answer to the identity of this unfamiliar sensation that I encountered for the first time in my life.
In a unique way that is both infinitely kind and cruel.
Beep beep.
– When the status is abnormal, [Holiday Reflection] is granted.
Revolving light reflection.
Like the strong sunlight shining just before sunset, the final flame burning at the end of a darkening life.
‘Is this what it felt like?’
It suddenly occurred to me.
The last images of those whom I had defeated with my own two hands, or who had no choice but to let go despite desperately holding on to them.
The countless emotions I glimpsed from them.
Now, finally, I felt like I could understand all of that.
Unlike them who waited for death to slowly creep in, I also know that I have no choice but to run towards death.
Tiring.
– [Horizonjo] is God’s mercy and human will, and is a candle that can reflect on the past life. Although the burning time may be short, that moment’s light will be bright enough to forget even death.
This time it is not a cold and harsh warning sound.
The clear, familiar sound of a bell rings in my ears, awakening my body and mind that had been plunged into endless darkness.
As the system said, a bright light that makes even death forget.
– During the duration of the status abnormality, [Holiday Reflection], all pain you feel is drastically reduced.
The trembling of the body, which was groaning from the ever-increasing pain and death, stopped.
– [Spiritual feeling] temporarily increases significantly.
An ember burned from the ashes of my cooling mind.
Hahahahaha.
Suddenly, a warm heat penetrated my spine, and the swelling embers turned into flames.
– [Heart Keeper] caresses your tired body and heals some internal injuries.
Two flames cannot coexist.
Someday we will collide and die together.
However, if it originates from one root, it is essentially one body.
Like someone who shared their energy with me without hesitation even though he himself suffered serious internal injuries.
“What are you doing?”
A complexion as white as a sheet of paper. The new type is trembling slightly and has big and small scars engraved all over its body.
But he, Jeokcheongang, was smiling at me.
Trying to suppress your joy that your student had regained his strength, even if only for a moment, and your sadness at what that meant.
“Let’s go quickly. together.”
That moment.
Tiring.
– The sudden quest, [Candle before the Wind, or Flame] has been created!
– Death awaits you. You cannot refuse this quest!
Time limit: 9 minutes 59 seconds
As time stopped, I held on to the white flame and took a step forward.
Into a nightmare that is not over yet.
No, towards this reality that is worse than a nightmare.
‘Change it. certainly.’
If it had been a fight alone, I might have given up already.
He could have leaned his tired body against a pile of corpses, ruminating on the past, and waited for death to slowly creep in.
but.
Shut up!
I am not alone now.
Kwaaaaang!
A dazzling light flame that devours enemies.
Amid the haze that distorts the reddish earth and space, a giant of fire roars.
At the same time, Salseong, Gungseong, Cheongpung and the final death squad.
In addition, an uncountable number of people followed him, moving forward like waves.
It is no longer a shout of evil, but a cry of the name of someone unexpected.
“charge! Charge! Protect Shangshan Lake!”
“… … !”
The moment a huge shout shook the battlefield and reached my ears, a shiver like a thunderbolt ran down my spine.
He said he would protect it.
Me, not anyone else.
They don’t even have an ounce of power or proper weapons, but they only have a sickle and a pickaxe in their hands.
Even my people were fighting, risking their lives for me, who could not properly protect them.
‘Yes, I couldn’t protect it in the end. You.’
I shot at the fanatics, remembering the faces I had missed and would never see again, that suddenly passed before my eyes.

Wedge!
tiptoe. waist. shoulder. arm and wrist.
Following the movements that were imprinted like instinct through countless repetitions and actual battles, the strong winds and rain parted.
Suddenly!
A cool sound of cutting cut across the space.
At the same time, dozens of pairs of eyes widened.
The fanatics who were looking at me with disbelief, as if they couldn’t believe it, collapsed while clutching their torn uvula.
The blade of the white flame, filled with vague heat, was incomparably slower and weaker than usual, but the enemies waiting at the end of that direction were unable to react properly for some reason.
And it was the same with other enemies who came in to fill the empty space of their dead colleagues.
Poop! Crack!
I stabbed, pulled, and twisted everything that got in my way.
My vision was still blurry, but my senses were clearer than ever.
Faces and voices passing by one by one in the thick fog of blood.
‘I won’t join. ‘If only we were given ample additional allowances.’
The fierce eyes and the leaf that he always held in his arms.
However, contrary to appearances, to me, Song Il-seom was always a reliable comrade and a good person.
Although he grumbled about the danger of the mission and the extra pay each time, Song Ilseom always fought in the most dangerous places.
He set out on the path he had walked his whole life to protect someone, and would have kept that oath until the last moment.
‘I’m sure it was. If it’s that guy I know.’
What you see with your eyes is not everything.
This was the case with a ronin who seemed rough and rough to others, and the same was true with two Safaans who unexpectedly formed a relationship.
‘Is it too late?’
On that day in Gansu Province, where a bloody battle like today took place, I answered Sima Piao’s question without hesitation when he returned after protecting his father’s last days.
No. He said he came at the right time.
It was sincere, without even a hint of lies.
Even if he lost his direction after many worries and went back a long way, Sima Piao was the kind of person who would eventually return to the right path.
no.
‘Because he was that kind of friend.’
With thoughts flowing endlessly somewhere deep in my heart, I moved as if possessed.
Shhh!
Like Song Il Island, rolling around in a puddle of blood while avoiding blades flying from all directions.
Suddenly!
Like Sima Piao, he used the most cruel and sure means to kill his enemies.
Quad deuk!
Just like someone else who wasn’t here, he swept away everything that stood in his way with an overwhelming force like Mount Tai.
‘Taesan, I believe in footnotes! ‘The best in the world after my lord!’
I moved on.
Listening to the voices echoing like hallucinations through the screaming and blood pouring out.
On top of the enemies falling apart like straw bales, faces are drawn one after another.
‘Wait a minute, do you want to walk?’
It rises like fog and passes by like the wind.
The Yongbongpyoguk flower garden immersed in deep darkness and the full moon that was unusually bright and large that day.
‘Jin Daehyeop.’
The light gait and lively voice, as if dancing, thanks to the power of intoxication.
‘me… … ‘Can I do well?’
Even the wet corners of my eyes that I couldn’t hide with all that.
‘Really, can I do well?’
I remember it vividly.
All of that.
Even when we made a fuss about the moon being bright today and stayed silent when asked an unexpected question.
And even the moment I opened my mouth, looking into my tear-filled eyes.
‘It’s okay even if you don’t do well or don’t try hard.’
That night, I wasn’t looking at the moon.
‘Wouldn’t that be enough? Lord Sojeo.’
I was staring blankly into those eyes that were brighter than the full moon and curved like a crescent moon.
Like the jet-black river rushing in front of my eyes at this very moment, I never thought that a day like today would come.
Whoa!
“damage!”
When did we get here?
The urgent cries of the Jeokcheon River echoed behind me as I dug deep into the enemy lines, and the terrifying sound of the piers swallowed up the sound.
But I wasn’t shaken.
To be exact, there wasn’t even that much reason left.
I was just staring at two energies that were coloring even my hazy vision dark and cloudy, making me feel even less alive.
With your senses, not your eyes.
No, with your heart.
At the same time, in the lapse of slowed time, the spear was extended.
Shut up!
The blade of a spear of white flame, filled with a faint flame, cuts through the wind.
It penetrates space, penetrates the darkness beyond, and penetrates one point.
Hwaaaaaaa!
“… … !”
“… … !”
At the sight of the two streams of rivers that seemed as if they would swallow everything without a trace, dispersing helplessly, I felt the air in all directions tremble.
Destruction? feeze?
Wrong.
The only word that can define what it was a moment ago is crushing.
It’s so mysterious that even I, the person who created it, can’t understand it.
In addition, it was so perfectly crushed that it enraged even the dead who had sent strong energy at me earlier.
– jin. womb. kyung!
The two black ghosts that survived until the end cry out and shoot at the same time.
The ghost horse, which jumped over a dozen pieces of air at once, cast a shadow over its head, and with its flashing blood-red eyes, an even more gigantic force came down.
Quaaaaa!
A sound so strong that it shakes even eardrums that have already burst.
But I wasn’t the only one at the end of the direction they came from.
Quang! Googoo googong!
In a split second, four intertwined lines of flash swelled in the air.
The compressed air explodes and the earth, unable to withstand the enormous force, turns over.
And at the center of it all, there were two superhumans who rushed in to save me.
Poop! Quad Deuk!
Salseong’s sword, Umochim, and the two curved swords held tightly by Gungseong pierced and cut down the dark spirits with the speed of a lightning bolt.
However, unlike them, who squeezed out what little strength they had left with their teeth clenched with white faces, the dark spirits never fell.
No, he recovered not only from fatal wounds but even severed limbs and rose again after overcoming dozens of deaths.
Wooooow.
The air trembles.
Countless layers of magic were boosting the Dark Demons’ resilience, giving them stronger and faster strength and speed.
Because he fought more fiercely than anyone else, he was able to take on the two people of the Three Stars who were at their deepest limit.
“Go, hurry!”
An urgent cry pierced my ears, and Gungseong’s exhausted and low gaze landed on my cheek. As if he was asking me to prove that I was the chosen one.
Or, as if this is not the place for you to die.
‘Okay, I can’t fall down here.’
I left them behind and walked unsteadily.
I followed behind Jeokcheongang and Cheongpung, who were leading the way and opened the way, and I thought as I defeated and defeated the enemies that appeared beyond my dream-like vision.
A promise to one person that can now never be fulfilled.
That time when I couldn’t tell someone who had already become the biggest memory in the world to run away.
‘This is Hyuk Moo-jin, the gatekeeper of the Great Taewonjin House. Please state your identity and purpose of visit… … what? ‘Stoma?’
‘Three Dukes, although I am the lowest level leader, let’s just say one word.’
The first meeting was a bitter one.
‘A reconnaissance team. Why did the Three Dukes me… … .’
‘I will follow your orders. ‘Chief, no, Captain.’
Not long after, he and I connected smoothly.
‘Uh-huh, leader. ‘Why are you so worried when I’m here!’
‘Captain’s heart! Right arm! Just trust this Hyuk Moo-jin!’
‘… … Anyway, isn’t the little toe too much?’
It soon became sticky.
At some point, it becomes impossible to fall easily.
It’s a shame if it’s not visible, and it’s a worry if it’s removed.
My most trusted friend and subordinate.
The guy like that, Hyuk Moo-jin, died.
In the end, I couldn’t even see where or by whom he died.
‘Even if we survived by luck, we will never be able to meet again.’
The last promise I made with him will never come true.
I will die before then.
I will have to set off on a long road from which I cannot return, leaving behind those I was trying to protect, or those who are anxiously waiting for me somewhere by now.
‘but… … !’
I grit my teeth and let out the breath I had been holding.
He swung his spear and constantly revived the dying embers.
I trampled on the corpses and blood gushing out with every step I took, and moved forward as one body with those protecting me.
The living and the dead.
Toward the final and only path for them all.
Toward the glow of someone’s blood-red eyes, clearly conveyed even in hazy vision.
Quad deud deuk!
The flesh and bones of the fanatics being torn apart along the blade of a spear that was struck as if by instinct.
Beyond the thick, swirling wind of blood, there was a monster engulfed in blood and madness.
“I can’t believe you came to me on your own when running away wasn’t enough. “I don’t know how to thank you.”
The blood master, whom I finally met again, smiled broadly at me.
To be precise, towards Jeokcheon River and Cheongpung, who were already exhausted, and towards me, who stood at the center of them.
“Now it’s time to die.”
well.
Maybe it really is.
however.
Beep beep.
