Episode 179. The Battle of the Heavenly Horses (4)

A drop of blood flowed from his abdomen and fell down along the sword blade.

The owner of that blood was Jincheonha, and the person who stabbed Jincheonha with a sword was the woman in front of him.

Pot-.

At that moment, Kumado ran towards the woman and swung his sword at her.

The woman put down her sword and left the place, and rather than chasing after the woman, Gumado hurriedly checked Jincheonha’s condition.

“Are you okay?”

“…….”

“What are you doing? Who the hell is that woman that you can’t come to your senses?”

Even from a distance, the state of Jincheon-ha was strange.

Normally, he would have been able to avoid such an attack with his eyes closed, but as soon as he saw the woman’s face, Jincheon became extremely shaken.

His gaze towards the woman still trembles.

He opened his mouth and looked at the woman, as if he didn’t even notice the blood flowing out of her abdomen.

“…It’s Sohyang.”

“……?”

“It’s the name of the only woman I’ve ever loved.”

So-hyang was originally a bodyguard warrior who assisted Jincheon-ha.

Jincheon, who was called a genius since childhood, grew up under the strict control of his family.

Because I lived almost completely cut off from the world, I was not able to freely meet people who were in Jincheon before becoming a Cheonma.

The person who always guarded Jincheonha’s side was none other than the bodyguard warrior Sohyang.

“I have been trained harshly since I was young, befitting the name of a genius. I have somehow managed to live up to my family’s expectations, but… to be honest, I was pushed into a corner, both physically and mentally.”

“…….”

“The person who supported me like that was So-hyang. The only one who was always by my side and comforted me… In a way, I couldn’t help but fall in love with her.”

Even for a genius, it was by no means easy to endure all that harsh training.

Moreover, didn’t Jincheon have to handle everything on his own at such a young age?

Although it is not known to the world, Jincheon-ha had to experience frustration several times during his training, and at those times, the only person he could rely on was So-hyang.

As a result, the feelings between the two people naturally deepened.

Before they were a lord and his bodyguard, the two were a man and a woman, so it was inevitable that feelings of love would eventually sprout.

“From today onwards, I am your new bodyguard.”

“The new escort warrior… Where is So-hyang?”

“So-hyang has stopped being your bodyguard.”

“You quit… That can’t be!”

“It is only natural that I should resign since I failed to fulfill my duty as a bodyguard.”

The duty of a bodyguard. It was to protect his lord.

Of course, since it is a matter of protecting someone, there could be feelings of loyalty there.

However, it can be said that the feeling of love that goes beyond loyalty has made him forget his duty as a bodyguard.

The relationship between the two was eventually discovered by the family, and So-hyang was immediately dismissed from his position as Jincheonha’s bodyguard.

“If you become a heavenly horse, there will be no problem.”

“…….”

“At that time, I won’t care whether you take So-hyang as your bodyguard or as your concubine.”

From then on, Jincheon had a new goal.

Until now, his desire to become a Cheonma was only for his family’s greed, but now, he also wanted to become a Cheonma for himself.

I will become a Cheonma and bring Sohyang back. Jincheonha desperately tried to become a Cheonma with that one goal in mind.

“…….”

Although he became a Cheonma as he wished, Jincheon-ha could not meet So-hyang again.

Because So-hyang was already dead at that time.

The family had said that So-hyang was alive, but in fact, they had already killed her when they had the bodyguards resign.

It was from the time he learned of that fact that Jincheon passed away early as his chronic illness worsened.

“So-hyang is already dead.”

“…….”

“Who are you!”

Soon, an angry rebuke burst out of Jincheonha’s mouth.

There is no way a dead person could be in front of you.

Moreover, since she looked the same as when he last saw her, it was obvious that the person there couldn’t be So-hyang.

“Is this woman’s name So-hyang?”

At that moment, So-hyang opened her mouth.

After a while, So-hyang’s body was instantly covered in black smoke, and then a completely different person appeared in its place.

“……!”

The person who appeared in the black smoke was So Wol-hyeon.

I had expected it to some extent, but that appearance was also an illusion created by So Wol-hyeon… … Jin-cheon felt an incredible anger at the fact that they had played such a prank on So-hyang, of all people.

“Sowolhyun……. How do you know Sohyang?”

On the one hand, I also had such doubts.

Only a very small number of people in the family knew about So-hyang’s relationship with him, and in the first place, wasn’t So-wol-hyeon a person from the distant past?

Of course, it was normal for So Wol-hyeon not to know about So Hyang.

“I don’t know a woman named So-hyang.”

“……?”

“I don’t even know his name, or what he looks like.”

“Don’t make me laugh! What you just showed me was…….”

“I just reflected on you. That’s why you became the woman named So-hyang.”

He reflected on himself. The moment he realized the meaning of those words, his eyes became blank.

“Inaeamgyeong (Dark Mirror of Love). If you use this power, you can change into the appearance of the person the other person loves the most.”

“……!”

“I just changed into the person you love the most. To you, that person must have been a woman named So-hyang.”

It was hard to believe.

You can change your appearance into that of someone you love… … How on earth is that possible?

However, Jincheon had no choice but to believe those words even though he didn’t want to because he saw Sohyang’s appearance right in front of his eyes.

“No matter how skilled you are, when someone you love is right in front of you, you’re bound to feel vulnerable for a moment.”

“…….”

“You must have loved her very much. You were so shaken that you didn’t even react when I blatantly stabbed you in the stomach.”

“…Was that all there was to it?”

At that moment, a rough energy emerged from Jincheonha’s hand.

As the hallucination wore off, the sword that had been piercing Jincheonha’s abdomen had disappeared, and a larger amount of blood was flowing out from there than before.

Phagejik-.

Jincheonha, who has gathered energy and is pointing his right hand towards his abdomen.

As soon as his hand touched the wounded area, a violent thunderbolt struck him, and Jincheon grimaced in pain.

After a while, I took my hand off the wound and there was no more blood flowing from there.

“How dare you insult So-hyang… I will never forgive you!”

Shouting like that, Jincheonha ran forward.

The moment he was about to thrust his right hand forward, which was raining down fiercely, Jincheon stopped moving midway as before.

“……!”

Before I knew it, So Wol-hyeon had transformed into So Hyang.

Even if you look at it again, it looks no different from the real Sohyang.

Her hair, her eyelashes, and even the wrinkles on her lips… … The So-hyang in front of her was exactly as he remembered.

‘No… that’s not Sohyang.’

I was agitated before, but this time I wasn’t fooled anymore.

That was just an illusion created by So Wol-hyeon. It was just a doll wearing So Hyang’s mask.

“Confucius.”

“……!”

That was when.

The voice flowing out of So-hyang’s mouth.

The title by which he was called, and the low, yet gentle voice, were both clear references to Sohyang.

‘Even the voice… … .’

To what extent are you going to disparage Sohyang?

Jincheon was momentarily shaken by the familiar voice, but as he regained his composure, his eyes became sharp.

Phagejik-.

Accordingly, the energy raining down from the right hand.

Jincheon threw his fist at the stomach without hesitation.

Phew-.

Jincheonha’s fist pierced Sohyang’s abdomen.

So-hyang vomited blood with a pained expression, but Jin-cheon just watched her with indifferent eyes.

That’s not Sohyang, it’s an illusion created by Sowolhyun.

I won’t be fooled by that anymore. Jincheon took out his right hand that had stabbed him in the abdomen and tried to finish him off for sure.

“Come on, show your face.”

“…….”

“That number doesn’t work on me anymore…….”

“Aren’t you hiding in the barn anymore?”

Jincheonha’s eyes shook at that question.

“What is that…….”

“Don’t you remember that barn that Confucius would go to whenever he was in trouble?”

“…….”

“I was always there to comfort Confucius.”

As I said, whenever something difficult happened to Jincheon, he would go to the small barn and hide.

That was the only place in the family where Jincheon-ha could rest without being disturbed by anyone.

One day, So-hyang found Jin-cheon-ha hiding in the barn, and from then on, their relationship developed from that of a lord and his bodyguard to that of lovers.

“I hope Confucius doesn’t suffer any more.”

“Everyone, don’t come near me.”

“If I become a stumbling block to Confucius… I will gladly give up my life.”

“Don’t come near me like that anymore!”

A cry of mixed anger and screaming.

Jincheon shouted and thrust his right hand forward.

This time, the fist he had thrown pierced So-hyang’s chest, and So-hyang raised both her hands and covered Jin-cheon-ha’s face.

“sorry.”

“……!”

“I’m sorry… for not being able to keep my promise to always be by your side.”

With those words, So-hyang’s body sagged.

So-hyang’s body was facing Jincheon-ha as if she was leaning against him because the fist was still piercing through her chest, and Jincheon-ha was in that state with a blank expression and couldn’t say anything.

My heart feels heavy even though I know for sure it’s fake.

Because everything seemed so real, the guilt of having taken the life out of my loved one with my own hands came rushing in like a storm.

“Eww-!”

In the end, Jincheon cried while hugging Sohyang’s body.

At that moment, blood burst out of Jincheonha’s mouth.

Before he knew it, So Wol-hyeon was piercing Jin Cheon-ha’s chest with his hand from behind.

“The illusions I showed you are no different from reality.”

“……!”

“If the woman named So-hyang were alive, she would have acted toward you the same way.”

The illusion that Sowolhyun created was based on the other person’s memories.

So, the person’s usual behavior, speech, and even minor habits had to be exactly like the real thing.

There are even elaborate hallucinations that stimulate the five senses.

When it reaches that level, it is no longer an illusion, but rather it is itself.

“You killed the person you loved with your own hands.”

“you…….”

“That’s fortunate. But it seems like that woman wanted you to kill her yourself.”

As he said that in a cold tone, So Wol-hyeon pulled out his right hand.

A blow that hits the heart straight in the eye.

No matter how much he was hurt, he could not survive with his heart pierced.

dump-.

In the end, Jincheonha’s body fell to the floor without strength.

Even in that situation, Jincheon was caressing Sohyang’s face, and the two people’s appearances almost simultaneously became blurred and soon disappeared completely.

“Is this what happens when you die?”

“……!”

“Now you’re the only one left.”

With an indifferent tone of voice, So Wol-hyeon’s gaze turned to Gumado.

“Should we continue?”

Kumado couldn’t open his mouth to answer the question directed at him.
