Absolute Regression - Chapter 316

Episode 316: Because I miss that sandstorm.
Dafa was in its final stages.
Purple energy spread out from the tip of the Pungcheon Cultist’s left finger.
The purple energy moved as if it were alive and began pulling out the spirit seal engraved on Hwanyeo’s back. It was a ceremonial seal engraved like a tattoo, and it was pulled out from the body like a nail.
Slowly, very slowly.
The leader of Pungcheon concentrated his whole spirit as if he would not tolerate even a moment of mistake.
The moment all of the spirits were completely pulled out, the leader of the Pungcheon Church stretched out his right hand above the head of the Seobhonmazon and gave a cheer.
Then, a bright red energy came out from the top of her head, like a tree being uprooted. It was the enemy stuck in her head.
The spirits and red souls floating at the tips of both hands burst into flames and disappeared.
As if they had made a promise, the two women fell down at the same time.
“Whoa.”
The leader of Pungcheon took a breath and slowly withdrew his outstretched hand. All of the purple energy that had bloomed in his hands disappeared.
Dafa has ended safely.
After a while, the fallen Soul Mazon stood up.
Good news awaits her.
“The red spirit in your body has disappeared.”
“ah! Thank you, Master.”
Pungcheon’s body was drenched in sweat. For a master like him to be so drenched in sweat, one could imagine how much mental strength he must have exhausted.
“You saved my life.”
“Although I was in charge of Dafa, it was the Lord Su who discovered this conspiracy. “Don’t forget that.”
The leader of Pungcheon gave the credit to Geommugeuk. To the Subhonmazon, the closer the two people were, the better it was, so he willingly pledged his loyalty.
“I will be loyal to the Little Lord, Master.”
The gaze of the Suphonmazon turned towards Hwanyeo. He raised his hands in anger. I thought I had to smash my head to get rid of my anger.
“That won’t happen. “She is already dead.”
The moment Hwanyeo was forcibly selected, Hwanyeo died.
“Cheongseon.”
“Yes, Master.”
“In your future life, you will look into the hearts of many people. You will be able to control countless people as you wish. “There is something you need to see every time.”
“What is that?”
“It’s a hole in your heart. “The higher your skill level, the bigger the hole will become.”
Subhonmazon had a vague idea of what the master was worried about.
“Then what should I do?”
Don’t look down on people. Don’t look down on the world. Master Pungcheon, who was wondering what to say, left the solution to his disciple.
“You’ll have to figure out how to fill that hole. Don’t forget that there is a hole, and look at it often. “If you keep watching, you will find your own way.”
The Soul Mazon bowed deeply on the spot. He was grateful that his master cared so much about him.
“If the day comes that this foolish disciple falls into that hole, Master, please be sure to rescue him.”
Then the head of the Pungcheon Church smiled and said.
“That is a favor I must do. “I’ve raised you to this age, so how big can my hole be?”
The Seobhonmazon was deeply moved by the honest words of the Pungcheon cult leader. He had a vague sense of distance from his master, but he felt closer to him through this incident.
“Go out and ask Master Xiao to come in.”

It’s been a while since I had a lot of conversations with Jangho.
Even the Demon Lords seemed surprised to see him talking with him for such a long time.
What could have been so interesting about a conversation with the blunt Jang-ho? I want to show it to the devils. That I trust and care for Jangho this much.
Unless you really like someone, you won’t be able to talk like this for a long time while Dafa is in progress. It was my effort for him.
Thanks to this, I was able to hear that Jangho’s childhood dream was to become a painter.
“I plan to try painting later when I retire.”
After hearing that, I left for a moment.
“Wait a moment.”
I disappeared at a quick pace and came back again, giving him the tools that painters use, including paper, brushes, and paints. I went to Magachon and bought the best stuff.
“Don’t put it off, start drawing today.”
Jang-ho was taken aback because he didn’t know that I had come to buy this. The demon soldiers standing behind also looked surprised.
“Let me draw it starting tonight. At least half an hour before going to bed. If you don’t have anything to draw, either draw those big minions, or draw that beautiful scar on your face.”
I know. What you need for these things is not time. If you have time, other things to do will also come up.
What is needed is not time, but opportunity. For example, things like painting tools that Sogyoju forcibly gives you.
Jangho bowed his head and accepted them politely.
“I’ll start drawing today.”
“I don’t know if I should buy a brush made of permanent steel. “Do you think all the brushes will break if they get into those strong hands?”
Jangho laughed happily at my joke. These are the top three people I want to see smiling at all costs. Father, Gwonma, and Jangho. I will continue to make these blunt men who live their whole lives without knowing anything about laughter.
At that time, the Soul Mazon walked out of his residence.
I could tell the results of Dafa just from her expression.
* * *
Only me, the leader of the Pungcheon Church, and Gowol remained in the residence.
The Demon Lord returned and left Hwanyeo’s body to the Demon Lords to bury. Perhaps because she left me her last greeting, she looked at ease.
Now it’s time to take the next step and make a plan to go to Pungcheongyo Bridge.
“Sir, what should I do?”
While Dafa was in progress, Gao Yue was thinking about it.
“I officially recommend you go to Pungcheon Bridge.”
“With the return of the former leader?”
“no. “This is an official visit by the Soo-gyo head of the Heavenly Demon Church.”
I looked at the Pungcheon religious leader’s notice. Even if he goes back, he will want to be the main character. Gowol had already thought about that.
“If you go back with the leader, the prestige of the leader will increase even more. “It will be what made this visit a success.”
At those words, Pungcheon’s expression brightened.
“They must have infiltrated the leadership of Pungcheon Church. Therefore, it will be easier to work if you go officially. Since you have become the head of a small church, you have a justification for visiting.”
That was correct. Because it wasn’t easy to sneak around and infiltrate Pungcheon Bridge.
“It will soon be known that Hwan-yeo has disappeared, right?”
“Ignore it.”
“Ignore me?”
“If you act like you don’t know anything, they’ll be in trouble too. They noticed their presence and are making an official visit? “There will be such doubts.”
“What if you sense danger and the guy disappears?”
“If the woman in the flower garden put in a lot of effort over the years, the same goes for her. Would you give up so easily?”
That is correct. King Hwan was a man whose pride in himself was sky-high. He was a man whose abilities were as outstanding as his pride.
Gowol said to the Pungcheon religious leader.
“There has been this guy since the time the leader and I were together. “We left without knowing.”
“!”
Because I hadn’t even thought about that, the expression on Pungcheon’s religious leader’s face hardened.
“We were holding our breath, waiting for an opportunity, but when the leader left, we started moving in earnest.”
I received his words.
“On this side, just like young Cheongseon made a move when he became a mazon.”
“you’re right.”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say. “Let’s make an official visit.”
Without hesitation, I followed Gowol’s will. Isn’t the best way to empower the military to trust and follow them?
“I will provide support as close as possible while trying to rescue something else from the person being interrogated. By the way, it is a rule that Majon accompanies Sogyoju official visits. “As the opponent is your opponent, you must carefully choose the Mazon you will go with this time.”
“Do you have anyone in mind?”
“He must be a mazon who is strong at illusions.”
The leader of Pungcheon knew very well who that was.
“It’s Mabul. Demonic fire is strong in illusions.”
Are you accompanying Mabul? It doesn’t matter to me, but the Pungcheon religious leader was the problem.
Originally, the leader of the Pungcheon Church was closest to Mabul among the Palmajons. In the past, it was Mabul who brought the leader of the Pungcheon Church to the Heavenly Demon Church.
However, I understand that their relationship had a falling out after that and things are now awkward.
The leader of Pungcheon Church came forward to see what he was thinking.
“I will go and talk to Mabul.”
Yes, it would be right to cancel the marriage.
“Then I will first get permission from my father.”
Since it was an official visit, I had to report it to my father and get permission.
We each got up from our seats to do our jobs.
* * *
Mabul was in the main hall.
A golden Buddha statue with a terrifying appearance was looking down at him with cold eyes. In a place where there was no sense of mercy, Mabul was chanting alone.
The leader of Pungcheon came in and sat behind him. After I finished chanting the Buddha, Mabul asked without turning around.
“What’s going on?”
It was awkward. In the past, we treated each other with a smile, no matter what our intentions were.
“How have you been?”
“How are you?”
Since Mabul was famous for supporting the Archduke, they couldn’t have gotten along well.
Mabul sat back and looked at the leader of Pungcheon.
“As you can see, these are the shoes of the dog that chased the chicken.”
“I like that dog Shinsoo.”
It’s not because the golden light from Mabul’s body shines particularly brightly. Mabul’s expression really looked more comfortable than before.
“What’s the secret?”
“Don’t you know?”
Mabul asks. Don’t you know? How much peace of mind you feel when you let it all go. If you look at it that way, both of them are people who have given up their greed for power.
There was an awkward silence for a moment. Then the leader of Pungcheon suddenly asked.
“Don’t you think I’ve lost some weight?”
Mabul made a bewildered expression.
“Are you here to brag about that?”
“That’s right. “I came to tell you that just as your face has become more relaxed, so have I.”
Mabul was already feeling it too. The leader of Pungcheon Church has also changed a lot. He wasn’t what he used to be. He used to smile on the outside but be full of tricks on the inside, but now he seems somewhat at ease.
“I came because I had a favor to ask.”
“Please speak.”
“Goyan bastards are playing tricks on Pungcheongyo Bridge. So Jyoju is going with me under the pretext of an official visit. “Please come along and help.”
“Why me?”
The leader of Pungcheon expressed his honest feelings.
“I need a mazon to go with you, but out of all the mazons, you are the most comfortable.”
Mabul, who was staring at the Pungcheon religious leader, refused with one word.
“I don’t like it.”
Since he immediately refused, the leader of Pungcheon Church had nothing to say.
“Then you can’t do it. “Goodbye.”
The leader of Pungcheon stood up. He said as he was about to leave. I thought there would be some harsh words.
“I’m sorry for what I said to you earlier.”
When the two had a bad relationship and fought, the leader of Pungcheon made fun of him, treating him like golden shit.
“Why are you apologizing all of a sudden? “I won’t follow you if you do that.”
“That’s why I’m not apologizing.”
“Then what is it for?”
“There is one thing I learned while staying with Lord Xiao and Gao Yue. The most important thing between people is to apologize. One apology is more important than a hundred nice words. I only realized that recently. My apology was late because I lived my whole life without apologizing. “I’m sorry.”
Mabul was embarrassed. At that time, the abusive words were not limited to those of the Pungcheon religious leader.
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, when Mabul called the leader of the Pungcheon Church.
“I’ve already come, so why don’t you just have a drink and go?”
“Is there alcohol in the temple?”
“Where can I find alcohol? “There are devils, there is alcohol, and if you look somewhere, you will find corpses.”
Indeed, Mabul brought two bottles of alcohol and handed me one.
The two drank straight from the bottle.
The leader of the Pungcheon Church sat down to avoid looking down at him.
Mabul stared at the picture of demonic warriors slaughtering on the wall for a long time and then revealed his true feelings.
“When I was trying to make the Archduke into a minor lord, that was all I could see. When you look at a person, you think that person will be helpful in the battle for successor, but that won’t work. No matter what I do, it will either be helpful or not. “I was crazy about it.”
The leader of Pungcheon was listening to him in silence.
“I thought everything would be resolved once the Archduke became the head of a minor religion. If you go to me later and apologize for being rude or sorry, they will understand. That’s what I thought. “Now that I think about it, if the Archduke had become the successor, I wouldn’t have apologized to anyone.”
And now that Geommuyang is not the successor, he also apologized to the leader of the Pungcheon Church.
“I was sorry back then, too.”
The head of Pungcheon held out a bottle of liquor without saying a word, and Mabul gave a light toast before drinking.
“Let’s say this drink is a victory liquor, not a defeat liquor. See you next time then.”
As the Pungcheon religious leader was about to go out, Mabul asked from behind.
“When are you leaving?”
When the Pungcheon religious leader turned around in surprise, Mabul added as if he was talking to himself.
“I miss that sandy wind.”
* * *
My father was at the training ground.
In the midst of the heavy demonic energy that had fallen, my father was standing alone, holding out the Heavenly Demon Sword. Just the sight of him holding a sword gave me an insurmountable fear.
My father asked without turning around.
“How far have you mastered the Nine Fire Magic Technique?”
“I even learned my transplant.”
“Then try to stop it somewhere.”
My father quickly turned towards me.
The moment I pointed the sword at me, an evil spirit appeared in front of my father.
A demon that looks completely different from mine. That thing that was scary just to look at was an evil spirit summoned by my father.
I knew it instinctively. That my father is trying to wreak havoc.
The only thing that can stop the Nine Fire Magic Gong is the Nine Fire Demon Gong!
An evil spirit appeared in front of me too. Just by looking at it, mine looks scarier. Mine is scary, my father’s is ruthless.
Although they were demons from the same martial arts world, they were merciless. I thought they were glaring at each other scaryly with a look in their eyes that would surely destroy the other.
Ssssssssuk!
The two demons facing each other began to separate.
I stopped at four, but my father’s demons continued to increase.
The divided demons lined up in front of my father. The number created by my father, who had achieved great success in the Nine Fire Magic Crafts, was forty-four, and the sight of it was truly a spectacle that chilled one’s stomach.
Four generations forty-four.
However, this was not a father who would look after him.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Can you really stop it?
My four demons also rushed towards the demons that were sweeping away everything.
