Absolute Return Episode 363

In the 363rd martial arts world, my mind was the most anxious.

The sword dance has returned to Anga.

Visain had been waiting all along for him to return.

“What happened?”

Visain was so curious about what the meeting between the Sword Dance Theater and the Apostolic Lord was like. He wanted to grab him by the collar and shake him to tell him quickly.

“Let’s take a breather. We’ve just met the fearsome Apostolic Leader, not someone else. Drink some water.”

“You must have been really scared. What happened?”

The worn-out Visa followed the sword dance, limping.

“You will be using light air soon.”

“I’m dying of pain right now. So stop teasing me and tell me the story of how you left.”

Geommugeuk drank the cool water and turned back to Bisain.

“As you can see, I didn’t get beaten up.”

“What did the leader say when I told you? Did he trust us?”

“I was half in doubt.”

It would have been better if he had trusted me completely, but the situation was far more unfavorable to me.

I thought it was fortunate that you believed me even halfway. Yes, Geommu-geuk went, so how good must he have been? I believe him. If you don’t believe this person, who can you believe? I believed that he had explained it better than I had gone.

“How is your lord? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Visain’s voice trembled slightly.

His rough face showed his concern for his master.

“Don’t worry, your Majesty is safe.”

Only then did Visain feel relieved. Since it was confirmed that the Hyuksa Army was the clear enemy, he couldn’t help but be worried. Although he wanted to rush over and protect the leader right away, he was sad that he couldn’t do that.

“You’ve worked hard. Take a rest.”

I wanted to ask if the leader had spoken about me, but I couldn’t bring myself to open my mouth.

If you hear, “There was no such thing,” you will feel unnecessarily upset. It is natural, since your innocence has not yet been proven. The human heart is truly like this.

Just as Visain was about to turn around, Geommugeuk said the words he had been waiting for so long.

“The leader has something to tell you.”

Visain turned around in surprise. His mind was filled with a mixture of anticipation and fear.

“What did you say?”

The sword dance was performed with the eyes of the blind man staring at him, and the words of the Apostle-Lord were relayed verbatim.

“Don’t get used to it.”

At first, Visain tilted his head slightly, not understanding.

“That’s what the leader told you. If I tell you, you’ll understand.”

“Don’t get used to it? Don’t get used to it.”

The moment he repeated those words, Visain flinched. The moment he remembered where he had heard the story, his expression filled with emotion.

“The lord hopes that you get better soon.”

I should say, ‘He must have been there,’ but Baek Ja-gang was clearly worried about Bisain. I could tell that just by feeling.

“Thank you.”

Visain felt that it was the best result for Geommu-geuk to go alone. The words of the master proved it. If he had felt bad, he would never have said those words.

Visain returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the room, he took the medicine that had been cooled.

He remembered the day when the leader had said those words. That day, too, he was in a room filled with the smell of medicine.

It was the day I returned injured after going on a mission outside. Since it was a failure at a time when I was greatly trusted as the leader’s disciple, the mental shock was greater than the physical injury.

The leader came to the hospital.

The leader spoke as he stood next to her on the bed.

-Don’t get used to defeat.

That moment came back vividly to me. That moment when my master looked at me and spoke.

―When you get used to defeat, your life becomes third-rate.

The moment I heard those words, tears welled up in my eyes.

Rather than feeling grateful that the leader had come to see him, he was consumed by the shame of having failed his mission. That was the age when shame paralyzed reason.

-Are you upset?

-yes.

I tried to get up, wiping away my tears.

-I’ll go back and do it again. I’ll definitely do it this time.

Then the master forced himself to lie down again and said this.

―Who wouldn’t be upset when they lose? Well, if you keep complaining about being upset, you’re also third-rate.

-How can I become first-class? How can I keep winning?

Instead of answering, the master gave her some medicine that was lying next to him and changed her bandage.

I didn’t know it then, but I think I know now.

Don’t be swayed by emotions, and take care of your body first. You shouldn’t draw your sword, but change your bandages. When you can calmly control your emotions and examine yourself like that, you can become first-class. He answered by wrapping the bandages for you.

“Ah! Master.”

At the time, I didn’t understand its deep meaning. I was just angry, ashamed, and wanted to somehow complete the mission again.

Just like right now. Even now, my mind was the same. Hurry, hurry, hurry. I have to hurry and kill those guys. I have to hurry and prove my innocence to the leader.

I got goosebumps all over my body when I realized that the emotions I was feeling now were no different from the urgent emotions I had when I was young.

“Master!”

Visain burst into tears. He had cried that day because he was angry, but now he was crying because he missed his leader. He was so thankful that his master remembered that day that he had completely forgotten. He was so sorry that he cried.

Visain slowly removed the bandage and applied new medicine. As he calmly looked at the wounds, he remembered the fight back then and had new thoughts about how he should have dealt with them.

Even if you don’t run like a madman out of frustration, these scars tell you how to become first-class.

“… …Master.”

Visain slowly bandaged the wound.

* * *

Baekjagang was sitting in the throne room of Maengjujeon.

After meeting Geommu-geuk and returning, one person kept coming to mind.

Black Woojin.

This is what my encounter with Geommu Theater felt like.

To be honest, it felt like I hadn’t met Geommu-geuk, but Geomwoo-jin.

It seemed as if Geom Woo-jin was not asking, “How is my swordsmanship?” while holding out his sword, but rather, “How is my child?”

Naturally, the image of a sword dance came to mind.

-Please buy me some food.

I wondered if Visain could possibly defeat such an absurd guy. He needed to flatten his nose.

Of course, this was when the Hyuksa Army was behind the incident, as Geommu Geuk said.

At that moment, the voice of the escort leader, In-gung, was heard from the air.

“The revolutionary army has arrived.”

“Let me hear it.”

After a while, the Hyuksa Army entered the place.

Baekjagang watched him walking towards her with small but proud eyes in silence.

“How long has it been since you joined the sect?”

“This is the seventeenth year.”

“How long have you been acting as the General Staff?”

“This year is almost over.”

“Is it like that already?”

Hyuksagun felt that Baekjagang was different than usual. However, he did not find it strange.

Wouldn’t it be strange if things were the same as usual in these times?

“Where have you been? I heard you were out on a business trip when I visited you earlier.”

“It’s been a while since I ate out.”

Hyuk Sa-gun also knew very well that there was a spot where Baek Ja-gang often visited.

“The situation on the way back is not normal, so please be careful for the time being.”

He had been keeping an eye on the movements of the leader. However, if he moved secretly like today, taking only the escort leader, he would inevitably lose track of his movements.

Hyuk Sa-gun was in a bad mood. Everything was going according to plan, but he couldn’t help but have unexpected situations keep occurring.

“I found out who ordered the surprise attack on Anga.”

That was exactly what the Sword Dance Theater had told us to keep an eye on.

“anyone?”

“I am the leader of the Extreme Squadron.”

The moment he heard those words, Baek Ja-gang’s body burst out with energy. He, who rarely showed his emotions, was furious.

Extreme disease.

An elite organization directly under the leader.

The original leader of the Extreme Brigade, Yeol-han, stepped down, and the new leader, Fan-tian, was a person with great loyalty to Baekja-gang.

‘You’re pointing out Beoncheon?’

If Byeoncheon was behind it, it would be like losing his right arm. At least, what Geommu-geuk said was true. He said he would use it as an opportunity to deal with his enemies.

“What’s the evidence?”

“Here it is. There was a demonic cult behind it.”

Hyuk Sa-gun walked up the stairs and handed the documents he had brought to Baek Ja-gang.

He was too calm to be called a traitor. He didn’t even send shivers down my spine. It meant that he wasn’t lying, or that he was a person who didn’t understand this sense.

After handing over the evidence, Hyuk Sa-gun returned to his original position and bowed his head with an embarrassed expression.

“It seems that the Little Leader has fallen to the Little Leader of the Demonic Cult.”

If I hadn’t met Geommugeuk beforehand, I would have listened to his report with a different mind.

The evidence was clear, so why wouldn’t they have suspected the visa?

I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be true. I thought that the visa had been handed over to the leader of the Demonic Cult.

It was creepy to think that way.

Even if you think that this Hyuksa Army betrayed you, and even if you think that Geommu Geuk drove this Hyuksa Army to be a traitor, it’s still the same.

Of course, Baekjagang was still standing in the middle. This whole thing could still be a grand scheme of the Demonic Cult.

“How should I handle this?”

“We must remove him from his position as the leader of the group and make him step down from the Extreme Military Group.”

“Let’s do that. But let’s deal with it after meeting the leader of the Demonic Cult.”

“Okay, then I will take my leave now.”

Baek Ja-gang spoke to him as he turned around to leave after politely greeting him.

“I can’t believe it. The fact that Sa-in-i joined hands with the Demonic Cult.”

“Me too.”

“Gather your opinions on who should be the next successor and report back.”

“All right.”

A faint smile appeared on Hyuk Sa-gun’s face as he turned around and walked away.

Of course, he didn’t know.

Baek Ja-gang’s gaze as he looked at his own back was not that of a leader, but of the King of Hell holding a scale and watching to see which way it would tip.

* * *

The sword dance was standing on the ceiling cliff.

He looked down at the endless valley below and fearlessly threw himself off the cliff.

Shhhhh.

The sword dance fell quickly. He fell defenselessly as if he had lost consciousness. No matter how confident he was, if he fell from this height without any defense, he would definitely die.

The reason for doing such a dangerous thing was to test how Cheonmahosingong would react in such a situation.

‘Hosingong, if I fall like this, I’ll die. Are you just going to let me?’

Geommugeuk believed in the Cheonmahosingong.

But the Cheonmahoshinkong didn’t activate. Do you trust me? Do you not realize that this isn’t a real crisis? Or are you going to fall to the ground and die half-dead to save my life?

Now it was time to raise my internal energy and demonstrate my lightness.

The sword dance was endured until the end.

‘I’m really going to die like this!’

And then the very last moment.

The inner strength of the swordsman’s body moved on its own.

Whirlilyrick.

He twisted his body in the air and stood up, moving his hands and feet on their own.

Using the Heavenly Horse Flying Technique that he had already mastered, he quickly reduced his falling speed and then landed lightly. This was a move that the great Heavenly Horse Guardian Technique had done on its own.

“Hoooo.”

The sword dance breathed a sigh of relief.

“You punk, I almost died from shock.”

But soon the sword dance was cheered. Although they were happy in front of Baekjagang, it was not even a tenth of the true joy.

The sword dance was fun to do, jumping up and down the cliff.

“This is the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon!”

His voice rang out loud. No matter what kind of life he had before returning, the sword dance was also unmanned. What made him the happiest was the achievement of martial arts. Moreover, it was not any other martial arts, but the poison martial arts of the Heavenly Demon, so his joy was indescribable.

Now that you have achieved greatness, you will automatically wake up when you feel a sense of life even when you are in a deeper sleep, and you will react more reliably in dangerous moments to protect yourself.

In addition, there will be more benefits of Daesung that you have never experienced before.

“I look forward to working with you in the future, Hosingong.”

My father said.

If you achieve the great success of Cheonmahoshinkong, you will never die.

I now have another life.

I also believed that the great success of Cheonmahoshinkong would have a positive effect on Guhwamagong, since the two martial arts were fundamentally very close.

Now only the twelve great stars of the Nine Flower Demon Sect remain.

If only I could make the Heavenly Demon Soul stand before my eyes. Not the Heavenly Demon Soul of the Ten Great Stars, but the Heavenly Demon Soul of the Twelve Great Stars.

For that moment, I need to further raise my level of Shicheonbisul. I don’t have enough time left.

I’m moving forward like this, one step at a time.

Was it because I had achieved great success in Cheonmahosingong? I wanted to see my father more today.

If I tell you that I have achieved great success, you will probably say, “Let’s try it out.” and clench your fist. I don’t mind getting hit by that huge punch.

Father, I miss you!

* * *

The next day, Geommu-geuk left Anga to meet the Apostle Lord.

“Be careful.”

“Your eyes are very swollen.”

“Another useless talk! We don’t know what the Hyuksa Army is up to!”

“It’s not that you don’t plan it, you’ve already planned it. You must have given the Apostolic Lord proof that you and I have plotted this conspiracy. That way, he can kick me out of you.”

Visain sighed lightly.

“If I could go, I would like to follow.”

I wanted to see the Apostolic Lord. This was the first time since I met Baek Ja-gang that I had wanted to see him like this.

“Don’t rush. The other person has been plotting for a long time. Don’t try to catch up with them all at once.”

Visain was able to find that there was a connection between Geommugeuk and Baekjagang.

They are the ones who try to stay calm, especially in important moments. They don’t look for answers outside. They believe in themselves and find answers within themselves.

“If you ever get the chance, please tell the leader that I will live up to his words.”

“I guess so.”

That’s how the sword dance came out.

Visain watched him leave without entering the room.

Then the monster came and stood next to Visain.

“Don’t be so impatient. Your chance will come soon, too.”

“It’s okay if the opportunity doesn’t come. Until two days ago, I was the most anxious person in this martial arts world, but now I’m not.”

Visain smiled comfortably at the monster who looked at him with a puzzled look, not knowing what he meant.

“Now is not the time to draw the sword, but to wrap the bandages. And the sword drawn by someone who has wrapped bandages will be even scarier.”
