◈ Episode 253 My personality is a bit… … (One)
Kim Joo-hyuk enters Kalpa.
When Barce was looking at Seogeumtaesan Mountain, where the flames were rising, he was agonizing over whether he was truly looking for his own name.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s disciple, Burigamyeon, had traveled for quite some time to reach the place he was supposed to arrive.
The place she arrived at was an underground cave with a slightly gloomy vibe.
Although it was a little dark, there was definitely light in the place where there should not have been a single light, so the beak mask was able to see inside.
“… … .”
What she sees is a spider web visible in the darkness.
Spider web.
Spider web.
Another spider web.
No matter where she looked, all she could see were spider webs, and even those spider webs were quite different from the ones she was familiar with.
“It’s big.”
The spider web that Beak Mask is currently looking at is much larger than the webs of the spiders she has seen so far.
But even so, Burigamyeon wasn’t particularly nervous.
After all, she had already heard that no one lived in this cavity.
Plop, plod.
Burigamen recalled once again what he had heard from the guide and walked into the cavity.
Every time I take a step, all I see is a spider web.
As she saw spider webs, both large and small, scattered all over the cave, she walked even deeper into the cave.
When some time has passed.
“… … .”
She was able to reach the deepest part of the cavity.
And in the deepest part of the cavity where we arrived, the beak mask could be seen.
‘Is that it?’
A hairpin hanging in the middle of the largest spider web in the cavity.
It’s just a black hairpin with no special features.
Looking at the hairpin, Burigamyeon once again remembered what the guide had said.
‘The place you will go from now on is the place where one of the great youkai who faced death alone a long time ago is located.’
In fact, when she heard that story, she actually felt repelled by the guide.
Of course, what the guide said was not wrong.
I heard that she was trying to raise them to help her teacher, and in reality, her actions did not deviate much from that.
However, Burigamen felt antipathy toward her. This was because she had never heard anything from anyone except Master.
Nevertheless, the reason Burigamen moved immediately after hearing the guide’s words was because of a story he had heard from her.
‘… … That story must be true.’
Burigamen thought so and recalled the conversation he had with the guide.
‘Just by looking at him, he looks like he’s disapproving of something, but there’s no need to explain why you’re disapproving, because I also know to some degree why I’m disapproving of you.’
‘… … .’
‘But if you go there with such a disapproving expression, you won’t have any particular motive, and if you do that, you’ll have trouble getting a name for yourself, so I’ll tell you a little interesting fact.’
‘… … ?’
‘Do you like your teacher?’
In fact, when he heard that from the guide, Burigamen frowned.
Obviously, what the guide said was true, but it didn’t seem like a good idea to talk as if you knew everything.
But after a while, Burigamyeon’s feelings disappeared in an instant.
‘Don’t frown like that. I think everyone among you knows it anyway.’
‘… … .’
‘Anyway, the place you are going from now on is where a very famous spider lives. That spider has an excellent ability to create poison at will, just like your ability now. And that spider can make a bit of a complicated poison that isn’t easy to make.’
‘… … ?’
‘For example, is it the poison of falling in love?’
‘… … ‘Is that true?’
‘Of course, besides, it can be diluted in various ways and used, and it can also be used to create various poisons that are a little more surprising than poison. For example, a poison that might be helpful for your current situation.’
A guide who speaks with a coy smile.
‘Anyway, if you can get the name of that spider, you might be able to make some progress in the current situation, so give it a try.’
With the guide’s words, Burigamyeon finished reminiscing and looked at the hairpin hanging on the spider’s web once again.
“Hmm, hmmm.”
He blushed for no reason, and even though no one was there, he raised his voice as if he was calming his voice.
‘I’m just getting the name to help my teacher, not to get the recipe for that mysterious poison!’
After thinking about that, he made a stern expression.
Of course, while experimenting with something like a new poison, very occasionally, very occasionally, you may ask your teacher for some advice about the poison… … !
“after!”
The guide thought so and calmed his flushed face.
Soon he stretched out his hand towards the black hairpin on the spider web.
####
Pure white light.
What I saw next was the same scene that Kim Joo-hyuk had seen the last time.
The first thing you see is the red floor.
What you see next is a very tall wall built on the red floor.
The walls were painted with murals of temples that looked as if they existed in ancient times.

The only thing that seems a bit contradictory is that the murals painted on the temples do not match the shape of the buildings.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was checking the murals painted on the wall, soon realized that the man in his memories was standing in the center of such a temple.
A man wearing dazzling armor and holding in his hand a sword filled with flames that seem to burn away anything.
“hmm?”
The man stood in the center of the temple and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, making a somewhat subtle expression, then tilting his head as if something was strange.
“ah.”
He nodded in exclamation as if he had finally figured it out, and then opened his mouth with a bright smile on his face.
“It’s been a while.”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought for a moment about how to respond to the words of the man, the cow-headed king, before answering.
“Do you know who I am?”
A word from Kim Joo-hyuk.
King Uducheon smiled and spoke.
“of course! There is nothing that this Wudu Heavenly King cannot remember. That’s why I know who you are. “O ascetic who first entered this Kalpa in mortal form.”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought for a moment about King Wuducheon’s words.
How do I explain this situation? Thinking about it.
However, despite Kim Joo-hyuk’s thoughts, King Wuducheon opened his mouth as if it was completely natural.
“But now you seem to have lost everything. Surely your soul is the same, but it is different from before.”
King Wuducheon muttered that and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, thought for a while, and then spoke with a smile on his face even though Kim Joo-hyuk did not say anything.
“Is that really what happened?”
“You haven’t said anything yet?”
“I know without having to say it, ascetic. “Although I am protecting this Kalpa according to the orders of the Great One, this place is not completely closed.”
King Uducheon continued speaking.
“Of course, until you came, I was withholding judgment because I wasn’t sure about the pieces of the story, but when you showed up here as you, all the pieces fell into place.”
Kim Joo-hyuk made a strange expression at King Wuducheon’s words, but soon opened his mouth.
“… … So anyway, there’s no need for an explanation, right?”
“Yes.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and spoke as if he was very satisfied with Wuducheonwang’s words.
“Then there’s something I’d like to ask you right now. Can I ask you that?”
“I can guess what you’re going to ask. I guess you’re probably struggling to find your name right now, right?”
“that’s right.”
“Well, that’s a quick story, you just have to go up here to find the name.”
“… … stomach?”
Kim Joo-hyuk answered like that and immediately recalled the memory of when he received the ice sword.
‘Now that I think about it, King Wudu definitely made stairs for me in the past.’
“Okay, you just have to go up here… … “It seems impossible for you to move up now.”
“What do you mean, it’s impossible?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk frowned and asked, King Wuducheon opened his mouth.
“Basically, in order to walk the path of an ascetic, your strength must be at a certain level, but your current strength is too weak to walk the path of an ascetic.”
“Then why don’t you just go up and tell me?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
King Wuducheon shook his head resolutely.
“That is impossible. “I am in charge of Kalpa, but I have no idea what kind of penance you have endured.”
“… … “So you’re saying I have to come all the way here and go back?”
“Of course not. “If you came here naked, you would just have to go back.”
King Wuducheon smiled and pointed to the sword on Kim Joo-hyuk’s waist.
“Didn’t you bring that sword just now?”
“… … This sword?”
“Okay, how about talking to the sword first?”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned and said in response to King Wuducheon’s question.
“Talk to the sword… … ?”
“Yes, that sword has an ego. I’m sure I’ll be able to climb the stairs just by finding a few more memories through talking with you. “The strength you need right now is very small.”
Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth at the words of King Wuducheon.
“No, I know that, but I heard that this sword basically doesn’t talk in the first place?”
King Wuducheon looked a little troubled at Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Still, from my perspective, I have no choice but to give it a try. Otherwise, you have to go back.”
“… … “Can’t I force myself to go up there?”
“impossible.”
King Wuducheon dismisses this.
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned at that, but looked at the white sword as if there was nothing he could do about it.
First of all, it is clear that the remnants of the past have an ego, but it is a sword that does not talk at all.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the sword, thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
“Hey, Bingshin.”
silence.
“Bingshin, tell me a story.”
And from then on, Kim Joo-hyuk started talking to the sword.
“Bingsin?”
Lightly for sound insulation.
“Say something.”
Sometimes like a bruise.
“이 개새끼야!”
Sometimes I swear.
“Please just talk to me… … !”
Sometimes we even negotiated.
However, even though Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth for over three hours, Bingshingeom did not move.
“It’s really going to spin.”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the sword he was holding and thought seriously.
A story about how on earth I can listen to this sword.
‘… … swear word?’
And while he was thinking about it, Kim Joo-hyuk remembered that when he had a brief conversation with his past self, he said that this sword had a very unique character, but he quickly shook his head.
‘… … Then shouldn’t he have already opened his mouth when he swore?’
Kim Joo-hyuk tilts his head.
However, since it was Kim Joo-hyuk who had already been talking shit in front of King Wudoo, who had been looking at him with a slightly cold expression for three hours, he decided that whatever would happen would happen.
“If you answer here, I’ll curse you however you want.”
So I opened my mouth.
But what follows is silence.
Kim Joo-hyuk made an expression that made him think that this was indeed the case.
[…] … really?]
“… … .”
A voice was heard from the sword.
