Absolute Regression - Chapter 325



Only Noblemtl

Episode 325 In times like that, this is what I say.

The two people were in the picture.

It was a picture that looked exactly like a real person, and its movements were vivid.

When the leader of Pungcheon was looking at Sobaekta, I saw King Hwan.

It was the Hwanwang I saw before returning.

King Hwan, you were here at this time.

In the picture, King Hwan took Sobaekta and disappeared inside the door.

Mabul and I’s gaze naturally focused on the leader of the Pungcheon Church.

Pungcheon’s eyes deepened as he looked at the painting. You may feel an ominous energy beyond that door.

“It’s pretty good.”

It is a word that acknowledges King Hwan. Yes, of course it will. Because it was a world created by King Hwan. Hwanwang was a better master than Hwanyeo. That’s why he was the one who made his name known to the world.

“Dangerous. “I will go alone.”

I said that with a smile.

“I wondered who your student looked like.”

“What does it mean?”

“If you really wanted to go alone, you wouldn’t have told me it was dangerous, right?”

This means that it is the same as Sobaekta yelling not to come while being dragged away. Those words were more burdensome than asking me to please save you. It’s as dangerous as saying I’ll go alone.

“Even if I were to leave you behind anyway, you wouldn’t be the one to listen to me, would you?”

“We came together, so we should finish together.”

I would never let the leader of Pungcheon into that picture alone.

“Are you ready?”

“That’s it.”

Mabul also nodded along.

The leader of Pungcheon chanted the nine verses in front of the painting.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

We stood in front of the door with a deep sound.

It came into the picture in an instant.

The feast of illusions performed by the master who reached the extreme was truly a work of art.

Large beasts gathered from all directions baring their teeth.

However, I did not dare to attack him because I was afraid of the prayers coming from the head of the Pungcheon Church.

On the other hand, he acted like he was going to attack me and Mabul at any moment.

Mabul walked towards them with long strides. It showed its teeth and growled, but was unable to attack Mabul.

Mabul reached out his hand and stroked the beast’s head. Surprisingly, the beasts were still there.

It was a moment to see for myself how strong Mabul was at illusions.

Meanwhile, the leader of Pungcheon stood in front of the door.

He closed his eyes for a moment, controlled his mind, and placed his palm on the door.

As the leader of Pungcheon recited a verse and pushed slowly, the door began to open with a loud noise.

We went inside shoulder to shoulder.

Beyond the door, a long hallway awaited us. It was an endless hallway, as if there was no way back after passing this hallway.

“When I saw her face, she looked very similar to the woman in the flower garden. “Maybe she’s a twin or brother and sister.”

As he walked, he informed the two people that Hwanwang and Hwanyeo were related by blood.

“Then this place will be even more dangerous.”

The head of the Pungcheon Church nodded at Mabul’s words. He must be feeling it too. Because it was she who killed her, one of her couldn’t get out alive.

“You don’t seem nervous at all.”

“There are two of you, so why would I be nervous?”

The Pungcheon religious leader asked Mabul this time.

“Why aren’t you nervous?”

“There are two of you, you will take care of it.”

This time I asked.

“What about the leader?”

“it’s me… … Because I have it. shit! “I feel like I’m the only one losing out!”

I laughed happily at the Pungcheon religious leader’s joke. But I could feel it. The leader of Pungcheon was definitely more nervous than the last time he dealt with Hwanyeo. There seems to be a certain energy that only illusionists can feel.

We continued walking down that long hallway.

“This illusion was also practiced in the blood religion.”

“I felt it before, but it seems like the leader has deep knowledge of martial arts.”

“Because we are a blood religion.”

Because the predecessor of Pungcheongyo was a blood religion.

“A long time ago, when we lost the war against the Celestial Demon Cult, all of the leaders of the Cult of Blood died. I knew that the Heavenly Demon Church could not destroy the blood religion. Because it would have taken too much of a sacrifice to kill all of them besides the birds. So, I hoped that the Heavenly Demon Church would become a new blood religion.”

“That’s Pungcheon Bridge.”

“okay. It is said that in the early days, there was a strong conflict between those who said that the blood religion should be preserved as is and those who said that the name of blood religion should be abandoned. However, Cheonma Shingyo supported the plan to establish Pungcheongyo, so it was eventually reborn as Pungcheongyo. For a while, the pro-Machine religion, Pungcheonism, continued to descend, but at some point, it was freed from its influence.”

During its long history, Cheonma Shindo also experienced many changes.

“This person is the one who has properly inherited the magic power of the blood religion. “There is definitely a force trying to reestablish blood religion.”

“Are you talking about a secret society?”

“It’s not even a secret anymore. “Because they kidnapped the leader of the Pungcheon Church and dragged in the small leader of the Heavenly Demon Church.”

Meanwhile, we arrived at the end of the hallway.

Three doors waiting for us.

The three doors giving off a mysterious aura seemed to be saying this. Which door you choose will determine your life or death.

“Where should I go?”

Pungcheon’s eyes deepened as he looked at the three doors.

“It’s a trap. “If we go to one place together, we will be scattered, and we must go separately to meet.”

“Then let’s all go separately.”

“I’ll go to the middle.”

The head of Pungcheon chose the middle door, and Mabul and I entered through the left and right doors, respectively.

When I opened the door and went in, there was a hallway again.

As I was walking down the hallway, I looked back and the door I came through was gone. There is no going back now.

When I came out through the door at the end of the hallway, I couldn’t see Pungcheon or Mabul.

I felt it for a moment. That the Pungcheon religious leader deceived us.

He wants to deal with King Hwan alone. Those three doors are the message that King Hwan left to the leader of Pungcheon Church.

Leave the two of you apart and come alone.

Because this fight was between the leader of Pungcheon and King Hwan. Because the leader of the Pungcheon Church would have wanted to protect me and Mabul.

The place I entered was the banquet hall. The dancers were dancing and the musicians were playing cheerful songs. Young women were holding bottles of alcohol and beckoning us to come.

Just looking at the atmosphere here gives strength to the previous guess.

You can rest here.

I looked around to find an exit. But the bluish light was not easily visible.

Since this space was also created through illusion, there must be a law of destruction somewhere.

At that time, a man in the banquet hall walked up and said to me.

“Rest in peace. “If there’s anything you want, just tell me.”

“Where is the way out?”

“The door opens only when the time is right. It won’t open before then.”

Easy profit! Suddenly!

I cut the man down with a single sword.

The fallen man disappeared into black smoke with a thud.

As a result, the music stopped and everyone stopped moving and looked at me. Of course they weren’t people. They were demons gathered together with demonic energy.

I asked, looking around at them.

“Someone knows how to get out of here!”

Instead of raising their hands, they rushed at them from all directions.

* * *

In contrast to the sword dance performance that took place in the banquet hall, the atmosphere where Mabul entered was fierce.

Pitch-black darkness. It was a place where you couldn’t even see an inch ahead. Even with the usual radiant glow of my body, I couldn’t see my surroundings.

Mabul could feel it. That there is something here.

He quickly made a sign with his fingers.

A man of the law!

At that moment, a golden glow emanated from Mabul’s body.

At that moment, I saw that place.

Dozens of monsters cover their eyes to avoid light.

They all cried out in response to the light. It was a loud, tearing cry that felt like my eardrums were going to explode.

A new beast was created in the hands of Mabul.

The seal of death!

The next moment, a golden river of energy was released from Mabul’s twin arms.

Sooooooooooooooooo!

All the monsters there were swept away by the enormous river that rolled in like a wave.

puck! Pow! puck! puck! puck!

The monsters turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Mabul walked with long strides and opened the door to the next room.

It was like a plaza ten times bigger than the room in front.

And all the demons that were there turned to look at Mabul. Two red eyes and a torn mouth. It was a sight that really made me want to close the door again.

But Mabul went in there with one corner of his mouth raised. Rather, the door was closed tightly as if no one could get out.

The demons screamed and rushed toward Mabul from all directions. There were so many of us that we stepped on each other.

Amidst the chaos, a new golden beast was being created.

* * *

King Hwan and Sobaekta entered the spacious main hall.

Stone statues and murals everywhere, a large royal temple. The place filled with unknown patterns was clearly the first time Sobaekta had been there. But it looked familiar.

“Where am I?”

Sobaekta treated him calmly. Being hostile and swearing is not a wise choice. You have to calmly look for opportunities.

“Isn’t this where you are every day?”

“no way? “Gyojujeon?”

It was different from the current Gyojujeon, and it was also different from the Gyojujeon during Master’s time.

“It’s a battle between the blood cults.”

“okay. “This is the true Gyojujeon.”

I was moved by the look in King Hwan’s eyes as he looked around the place. He really respected and liked this place.

“It’s a place where demons from outside the real world lived. “I’m not a pathetic immature child like you are now.”

The word immature struck my heart. But now is not the time to be immature.

“Why did you bring me here?”

“To take you hostage.”

Sobaekta’s heart was pounding, but he spoke calmly.

“You’re talking so recklessly.”

“Because your master is not someone you can show off.”

Sobaekta knew. That King Hwan truly acknowledges Master. He swears like that when he’s with me. Now that I think about it, that curse was ultimately cursed to myself.

“Master will not come.”

“He will come.”

“You don’t care about me that much.”

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have come running all the way to this area. Su Jiao came to kill me, but your master came to save you.”

Sobaekta, who was dazed for a moment, suddenly spoke.

“When I think about it, I think my life is better than yours.”

King Hwan stared at him in silence as he suddenly changed.

“You are cowardly, have no pride, and are even cowardly, aren’t you? Perhaps you will be able to get someone’s orders or faithful bastards. ”

Sobaekta rushed forward without fear.

“You always bowed down to me. Teacher, are you here? Did anything pleasant happen today? The leader is the one who will lead the new martial arts group. Teacher, teacher. I licked it yesterday and I licked it today too. “If I told you to lick it, you probably would have licked the soles of my feet too.”

When King Hwan stretched out his hand, Sobaekta flew away.

Sobaekta, whose inner strength had already been suppressed, was helplessly caught in his grasp. There was only the mouth to fight for.

“Why were you so scared that you overpowered your inner strength? You say this is your hell? You coward! “Lick my asshole!”

Despite the pouring ridicule, King Hwan did not get angry, but instead smiled at him.

“That’s unexpected. “I can’t believe you’re honoring your master this much.”

King Hwan saw right through Sobaekta’s inner thoughts. He realized that he was trying to provoke him to death.

“If you want to die that much, hit your head on the horns of the statue over there and commit suicide. “Do you really have the courage to do that?”

King Hwan threw Sobaekta in front of the statue.

Sobaekta looked at the statue with trembling eyes. The horns on the monster’s forehead were sharp like a spear.

As I stared at the sharp horns, I felt that death was approaching.

Then, like a flash, memories of what happened with Master when I was young came to mind.

If you think about it, Master especially cared about himself. They acknowledged that he was born with talent, and even praised his classmates to follow Baekta’s example. The day I was praised by my teacher, I was so happy that I couldn’t sleep.

When he was playing the eumlae bell on Hyeolsinjeal, he would call himself and play along with him.

Then the master stroked his head and said. You will take my place.

I did it well 10 times and then did it poorly once, so I blamed my master and denied it. You stupid, foolish bastard! He should be the one who did well 10 times, but if he failed once, he should be the one who did well 9 times.

Sobaekta, who was blaming himself, closed his eyes tightly.

‘I can no longer be a burden to Master.’

He threw his face towards the horn mercilessly.

Pow!

I thought I was going to die like this, but the statue’s horns were crushed like soft clay.

From afar, King Hwan smiled and clapped his hands. He changed his horn using a genjutsu.

“This is why I can’t kill you. “If you think so much of your master, how could you kill such a precious hostage?”

Sobaekta threw himself towards the wall.

However, before he hit his head against the wall, he flew into the hands of the Hwanwang.

I grabbed Sobaekta and looked down at him.

“If your master dies, it will be because of you.”

It was a terrible thing to even imagine. Even when he bit his tongue, his jaw did not work.

“… … Please kill me.”

It was right then. Someone walked in and spoke in a loud voice.

“In that case, instead of asking you to kill me, I say this.”

The person who entered with great strides was none other than the head of Pungcheon.

“If Master dies, it will be because of you. If our master dies, it’s because our master’s martial arts skills are weak. Master’s death has nothing to do with me. This is what I say again to those guys who try to play with people’s hearts. “Stay away from me, you bastard!”

The leader of Pungcheon spoke calmly to Sobaekta, who was looking at him with passionate eyes.

“From now on, I’ll teach you everything again.”
