Absolute Regression - Chapter 309

Episode 309: There is no evil person who likes flowers.
When I visited, even today, Ilhwa Geomzon was concentrating on his sword training with a face without makeup.
I know very well why she is so fascinated by martial arts. For masters of mazon-level skills, martial arts achievement is something that does not come easily. And Ilhwa Geomzon was a person who, when a moment like this came, he made sure to make that achievement his own.
She flew through the air, swung her sword once, and then turned towards me.
The provocative gaze directed at me was just like this.
come in!
If we’re going to stick together, we should stick together. Without hesitation, I kicked her off the ground, took her flying, and rushed towards her.
The black magic sword and the Ilhwa sword clashed one after another in the air. Even though the attack was faster than the last time, she blocked the attack.
As her skills clearly became stronger, I further increased my attack power and speed.
The sword and sword collided so quickly that the sound that should have rang out was heard as one sound.
Dozens of sword rays bloomed brilliantly and then disappeared repeatedly. It was a quick attack and defense that anyone watching would not be able to tell where and how they were attacking and defending.
The speed of swinging the sword gradually increased.
It wasn’t I and Ilhwa Geomzon that were fighting. A fight where instinct strikes the sword and instinct blocks the sword. It was the kind of dance where a momentary mistake could result in your arm being blown off and your head cut off. It was a dance that felt more like a real fight than a real fight.
When the speed reaches its peak.
Tadang! A strange sound erupted, and we fell to the floor together.
Deep.
The Ilhwa sword was stuck on the floor.
She dropped her sword again.
Ilhwa Geomzon could not feel any regret or shame of defeat. Although he lost, he fought so well that he looked rather satisfied. In the workshop a little while ago, she must have displayed better swordsmanship than any swordsmanship she had ever used in her life.
she asked me
“How far are you going to take me?”
She knew exactly what I meant by pushing her to the limit. My heart tells me not to be satisfied, not to stop yet.
“I plan to go until the end.”
to the end.
Yes, I am going to go all the way with these mazons.
“why?”
“I told you this before. The only person I can be inspired by by sharing sword techniques like this is my senior. The only people I can freely compete with in swordsmanship like this are my father and my senior, but I don’t get to compete with my father this often, and even if I do fight, it’s a different fight. Therefore, dancing with my senior is very precious to me.”
After a while, I expressed my true feelings.
“I want to go with you until the moment we let go of the sword.”
Passion flashed across Ilhwageomjon’s face.
she asked, looking down at her empty hands.
“Do you remember the first time we danced?”
“I remember.”
Ilhwa Geomzone also revealed his honest feelings.
“At that time, I was thinking this. “After ten more years as Mazon, I will hand over the position to my successor and enjoy a comfortable retirement.”
She looked down at her empty palms, then raised her head and looked at me.
“At that time, I could see the destination. As a warrior and as a mazon. The finish line of my life, where people are lining up to cheer and congratulate me. I can still see it now. It’s a path that you just have to walk on without worrying or thinking about anything. But you’re putting me at the starting line. “I feel like I’m at the starting point again.”
I looked into her eyes and spoke calmly.
“It will be easy and fun to get over that finish line, but it will only be good for a month or so. From the next day, you will be bored and bored. I wish I would have done something more when I was even a year younger. Isn’t it too vain to end like this? “All kinds of idle thoughts and regrets will torment you.”
A faint smile appeared on Ilhwa Geomzon’s lips.
“You haven’t even been there?”
“Because I have a rich imagination.”
I was caught by Saujong because of my weakness, and I was caught up in an unsuitable lust for power. She is too precious to live that kind of life.
Ilhwa Geomzon held out his hand. Then the Ilhwa sword that was stuck on the floor came out and flew into her hand. Holding her sword in her hand, she spoke as if making a declaration.
“I am at the starting point again. “I will never let go of this sword until the moment I die.”
I could feel it. The woman in front of me is a different person from Ilhwa Geomzon before her return. This is how a person’s life changes depending on who he meets and who is next to him.
“Why did you come today?”
“Saujong died at the hands of the Suphonmazon.”
Ilhwa Geomzon was startled by the unexpected answer.
“What happened?”
It was reported as is, excluding the content related to Hwanyeo. As a result, it became a death due to sexual misconduct.
“Saujong has committed a serious crime deserving of death by threatening and insulting Mazon. However, since the demon sword died at the hands of another mazon, it may be detrimental to the reputation of my senior and the Northern Heavenly Sword Family.”
After thinking for a moment, she asked me.
“How would you like me to handle this?”
“For the sake of the Sub-Soul Mazon, I hope you will give in this once. She is in the midst of establishing herself within Seo Hwan-jin. “If this incident comes to light, her position will be diminished.”
Ilhwa Geomzone accepted my request.
“Handle it quietly.”
“thank you.”
“Instead, tell me where you buried that person. Still, he is someone who once helped me, so I guess I should give him a drink on the way.”
After speaking, she started swinging her sword again.
I bowed politely and left.
Just before leaving Ilhwageomjon’s residence, I looked back.
She was looking up at the sky with her sword hanging down. She felt somewhat complicated. She doesn’t want to know what her relationship was with Sau Jong or what her weaknesses were.
However, I hope that this incident will be an opportunity to change her life. So hopefully she can even change her sword skills.
As I left Beukcheon Sword House, Seo Dae-ryong was waiting.
“The person monitoring the flower garden contacted me. “The seedlings that came in every day did not come in yesterday or today.”
That meant only one thing.
“I’m trying to leave.”
We must not let her go like this. She needs to be held on somehow. Just in case, the leader of the Poongcheon cult might not be able to solve her subjugation spell, and he might need her to solve it. He also needed her to find out where King Hwan was.
“What are you going to do?”
I answered as I walked towards the front door of the headquarters.
“Whatever. I have to stop him from going. Send the executioners to me as soon as they are available.”
* * *
Hwan Yeo was preparing to leave the flower garden.
I received a report that Saujong was dead. The fact that he died means that the yin-yang reverse magic was successful. All she had to do was go away and come back a year later to check on her.
An ordinary martial artist can successfully perform the Seophonjutsu in one hit and turn him into a puppet, but a Seophonmazon who has learned the Seophonjutsu cannot be controlled all at once. The red spirit implanted in her mind must take hold and grow. The process is like growing a flower by sowing her seeds. When the flower blooms at the peak, you can completely control the Subsoul Mazon.
At that time, a group of warriors came rushing in, and one person stepped in among them.
Hwan Yeo was surprised when she saw who the other person was. Geommugeuk came in with not only the guards but also Hwangcheongak execution officers.
“A precious person has come again.”
“It seemed like he recognized me right away that day too. “This is your first time with me. How did you know?”
“Among the people doing business here in Maga Village, is there anyone who doesn’t know Master Su? “It’s an honor to see you again.”
While working here, the most I heard recently was the rumor about sword dance. Most of the rumors were hard to believe, but she knew. That the rumors are all true. That’s why you have to be very careful when dealing with sword dance.
That’s why Hwanyeo was suspicious of Geommugeuk’s visit. Even if once was a coincidence, twice?
‘Did you notice something?’
Otherwise, there would be no way for the Master of Xiao to come forward in person like this.
Of course, that didn’t make me anxious. Because there were many ways to get out. He could have immediately used his magic to force the guards to draw their swords and kill Xiao Jiaozhu. All you have to do is take advantage of the confusion and escape.
“My subordinate really liked the flowers I bought him that day.”
“There is nothing better than a gift of flowers to a beautiful woman.”
If he had visited for this reason alone, he would have undoubtedly suspected Su Jiaozhu. However, the sword dance was asked directly.
“Let me ask you something.”
“Please tell me.”
“Do you know the warrior who has been here often recently?”
When Saujong was mentioned, Hwanyeo was inwardly surprised, but did not show such feelings at all.
“Of course. “He would always come and look at the flowers and trees before passing away.”
“This is a person named Saujong.”
“Because you didn’t tell me your name.”
“He died not long ago.”
“Oh my! “What happened?”
Hwanyeo couldn’t help but feel sad. Her acting was so great that it seemed to anyone who saw her that she was secretly in love with Mine, who came to visit her every day.
“Our school is investigating the person’s death. “That’s why I came here.”
“Oh, I see.”
Hwanyeo bowed her head and showed a fearful expression.
“But seeing that Master Xiao personally investigated, did you think he was of great status?”
“That person’s death is related to our school’s Mazon.”
On the contrary, when it was revealed like this, Hwanyeo was secretly puzzled.
‘Did you find out about the Subhonmazon incident?’
no. In that case, instead of coming like this, he would have brought the mazons with him to capture him.
‘You don’t know about me yet.’
Geommugeuk’s attitude towards her was also suspicious.
“So please don’t leave the garden for a while.”
“I am a person who has nowhere to go.”
“But why don’t the seedlings that used to come every day come?”
Geommugeuk even revealed that they were intentionally watching over Hwawon from this side.
“I was sick, so I stopped to rest for a few days.”
Geommugeuk gave her a suspicious look.
This way there will be no suspicion.
If you come for another reason, no matter how naturally you act, she will be suspicious. I’d rather keep an eye on you, so don’t leave! There was a good chance that this would catch her. I added one crucial thing there.
“If you get scared and leave, we will make you a public figure at our school and send a team to track you down. “Your disgrace will be spread throughout the entire central plain, so there will be no place to hide.”
Geommugeuk knew exactly her weaknesses. They were moving in secret. Therefore, the thing to be most careful about was revealing yourself to the outside world. Is the disgrace spreading across the entire midfield? It would never be something she wished for.
As expected, Hwanyeo’s heart became heavy.
‘shit.’
It was something that should never have been allowed to reveal oneself.
Geommugeuk went to the flower Ian had bought and smelled its scent.
“Do you know what I said when my subordinates reported that the flower garden here was suspicious?”
“What did you say?”
“There are no evil people among those who like flowers.”
Geommugeuk left the flower garden with those he brought with him.
Hwanyeo watched the back without saying a word.

“ah! “How long has it been since you’ve been here?”
As he entered the main altar, the leader of Pungcheon took a deep breath. Although it was not Pungcheongyo but the headquarters of Cheonmashinyo, I had the comfort of returning to my home.
The two people who entered the inner circle headed straight to Geommugeuk’s residence. It was not his previous residence, but a large and nice residence after he became the head of a small religion.
“After becoming the head of a small church, the house became grandiose?”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church looked at Geommugeuk’s residence, which he had not paid any attention to before.
“After all, power is good.”
“If you’re jealous, go back to Sae-oe. “The sect’s residence is ten times bigger than this, right?”
“Who is jealous? “That’s just the way it is.”
The leader of Pungcheon looked inside from the window.
“Where has Lee Gongja gone? We’re here, so you should come first and wait. Did you even forget to call us? Oh right. I called you, right? That has all been resolved. Since you’ve already come, why don’t you take a break for a few days and then go do something else? “I’m busy so I’ll stop.”
He imitated so often that he was now better at imitating sword dance than anyone else.
“He may have gone from being an acceptable scholar of merit to becoming a vicious minor leader.”
At that time, a welcome voice came from behind.
“You always curse at me when I’m not around.”
The leader of Pungcheon grinned to himself without turning around. Yes, this voice was what I wanted to hear.
The leader of Pungcheon looked back.
The sword dance stood unchanged as always.
“He is still a small religious leader worth looking at. “I guess there’s still a bit of vice left.”
“You don’t know that.”
Even though he missed me, the leader of Pungcheon was grumpy for no reason.
“Thank you for your hard work, Master.”
The head of Pungcheon looked at Gowol standing next to him.
“If you say that kind of greeting, you should say it here.”
Geommugeuk looked at Gowol and said.
“You worked hard.”
Gowol smiled.
“It is something I must do.”
The head of the Pungcheon Church intervened and praised Gowol.
“Even at your own job, you can’t work that hard. Master Su, buy some military medicine for you. “You worked hard.”
Gowol gave a glance to the leader of the Pungcheon Church, telling him to stop talking nonsense.
“I will buy you the best tonic and give it to you.”
“When you buy it, are you going to buy mine too?”
Geommugeuk laughed loudly.
“Don’t just laugh, but buy it. Don’t make people upset by eating. So, what kind of help did you need that you called this body?”
“It’s about the Subhonmazon.”
After the previous Seophonmazon died, Cheongseon learned the Seophonjutsu from the Pungcheon cult leader. The playfulness disappeared from her Pungcheon religious leader’s face when she heard that it was something to do with her.
“Why that kid?”
Sword Dance Geuk spoke from the conclusion.
“Unknown people cast a spell on the Soul Mazon.”
The moment those words ended, the Pungcheon leader’s prayer changed.
Whiiiiiii!
Pungcheon’s prayer awakened people’s primal fear.
Dark clouds gathered in from all directions, the surroundings suddenly became dark, and the weather became gloomy, as if a typhoon was coming at any moment. The sound of the bell was carried by the chilling wind that blew from afar.
Every time the bell rang, a door opened from the ground and black monsters of various shapes began to jump out. It felt as if the gates of hell were opening one after another.
They came out at high speed and rushed towards the opponent without hesitation. Of course, they were not actual monsters, but illusions that symbolized prayer.
Hundreds of monsters rushed towards the sword dance.
The eerie feeling I felt every time they passed through my body cooled my fighting spirit and broke my mental strength. The Heavenly Demon’s Self-Defense Technique was activated.
If you are a person with weak inner strength or will, you will already be swinging your sword alone and running wild like a madman with just this prayer.
It was an angry prayer from the Pungcheon religious leader that I had never seen before.
The current Pungcheon leader was not the usual joker and joker. He returned to his normal self. The absolute leader of Saeou Murim who achieved the greatest success in Sae-o-eum-gong, Angcheon Dae-ma-gi.
With a blue glow shining from his eyes, the leader of the Pungcheon Church spoke coldly.
“How dare you touch my student?”
