Episode 180. The Battle of the Heavenly Horses (5)

Kumado was looking at Sowolhyun without saying a word.

‘… What a scary guy.’

I didn’t think that way simply because I had defeated Jincheonha.

What I found so scary about Kumado was its cruelty.

Jincheonha didn’t even blink an eye when he killed the person he loved with his own hands.

Of course, it was only an illusion created by So Wol-hyeon, but since everything was no different from reality, the mental shock Jin Cheon-ha must have felt must have been indescribable.

‘The illusions he creates are no different from reality.’

What surprised Kumadou was the sword that pierced Jincheonha’s abdomen.

From the beginning, there was no sword in Sowolhyun’s hand.

Doesn’t that mean that it’s also an illusion?

Normally, it would be impossible for a hallucination to cause any damage to an object that exists in the black reality… …. Jincheon had clearly suffered a fatal wound when he was stabbed by the sword.

“…….”

Are you saying that the hallucinations he creates can also cause direct damage to reality?

If that were true, it would no longer be an illusion, but could rightly be called a creation.

How on earth am I supposed to win against a guy like that…? It felt like it had been a long time since Kumadou had faced such a powerful enemy.

Shhh-.

An ordinary person would feel deep despair and fear when faced with such an enemy.

However, Gumado seemed to enjoy this situation, and raised his sword with a meaningful smile.

“…I guess you plan on continuing.”

Looking at that sight, So Wol-hyeon muttered indifferently.

As if he had no intention of avoiding the fight anymore, countless illusions began to appear around So Wol-hyeon.

Hwarurur-.

The energy also rose up in the path of Kumado.

A one-on-one situation that naturally formed due to the defeat in the Battle of Jincheonha.

Amidst the tension that flowed like a volcano that could erupt at any moment, the sound of something falling to the floor was heard from somewhere.

“denomination!”

Soon, Seodaemun’s voice echoed urgently inside.

The sound that had just fallen to the floor was a torch, and just a moment ago, the torch was in Cheon Myeong-myeong’s hand.

The fact that it has now fallen to the ground means that Cheon Myeong-Myeong has dropped the torch from his hand.

Looking at Cheon Myeong-myeong’s expression, which was very distressed, it didn’t look like he had simply slipped and dropped the torch.

dump-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong eventually collapsed on the floor.

Seodaemun called out to Cheon Myeong-myeong several times, but Cheon Myeong-myeong still didn’t come to his senses, so Seodaemun hurriedly checked Cheon Myeong-myeong’s condition.

“this…….”

My danjeon was empty.

The reason Cheon Myeong-myeong collapsed just now was because of a rapid loss of internal energy.

No matter how much the internal energy had improved compared to the past, if three masters fought like that, using up all their internal energy, it was inevitable that their internal energy would be insufficient.

Up until now, he had managed to hold on somehow, but eventually his danjeon hit rock bottom.

“Why did you just sit there and do nothing until it got to this point!”

If my internal energy has disappeared to this extent, the signal must have come much earlier.

To think that he had endured it until it got to this point… … As Seodaemun spoke as if scolding him, Cheon Myeong-myeong opened his mouth with difficulty.

“I wanted to keep watching this match.”

“Even if your life is in danger because of it?”

“It’s worth it.”

“…Idiot.”

Although he said that, it was not as if Seodaemun did not understand Cheon Myeong-myeong’s feelings at all.

In fact, he himself had been watching the match up until now with great concentration.

Because of that, he could say that he was also responsible for not noticing that Cheon Myeong-myeong’s condition had worsened to this extent.

“You two, please stop now!”

But it was impossible to continue fighting any longer.

Anything more than this would be too much even for a natural born genius.

Innate energy is the source of life. Unlike normal internal energy, it cannot be restored once it is consumed.

No matter how much Cheon Myeong-myeong wanted to watch the fight a little longer, Seodaemun, as his teacher, could not allow any more fighting.

“……!”

As soon as Gumado noticed Cheon Myeong-myeong’s condition, he immediately withdrew his energy.

Just like Seodaemun, Guma Island also did not want Cheon Myeong-myeong to die.

As maintaining its form was an action that consumed even a small amount of Cheonmyeongmyeong’s internal energy, Kumado immediately disappeared.

“Please, don’t use your internal energy anymore.”

The problem was Sowolhyun.

Unlike other Cheonmas, isn’t Sowolhyun Cheon Myeongmyeong’s teacher or something?

Since he had a strong hatred for the Cheonmasin Church from the beginning, he might have used this opportunity to try to kill Cheon Myeong-myeong.

When Seodaemun earnestly requested, Sowolhyeon seemed to gather his energy for a moment, but unlike Gumado, he did not disappear right away.

“Why did that child collapse?”

“We and Mingming are connected by the Heavenly Demon Jade. Because of that, when we exert our strength, Mingming’s internal energy is also consumed.”

“…Now that I think about it, I think I’ve heard something like that before.”

“Just by our physical presence, the internal energy of naming is disappearing. Normally, it would be fine, but in a situation like now, even that becomes a burden.”

Seodaemun revealed everything truthfully.

Even if you tried to hide it, anyone with even a little bit of discernment would know.

As Sowolhyun approached, Seodaemun knelt down and earnestly asked again.

“Please reveal the truth.”

“…….”

“Myeong-myeong needs a break right now. For that, we shouldn’t be a burden to him even a little bit.”

“Then why are you here?”

According to Seodaemun, Seodaemun himself had to disappear first.

When So Wol-hyeon asked that, Seodaemun couldn’t answer right away, but So Wol-hyeon already knew the reason.

“Does it mean that I have to disappear first before I can disappear with peace of mind?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

“You’re honest.”

So Wol-hyeon smiled faintly and approached Cheon Myeong-myeong.

At that time, Seodaemun blocked Sowolhyeon’s path.

There was a warning in Seodaemun’s eyes as he looked at Sowolhyeon, as if he would not leave her alone if she got any closer.

“Don’t worry. I have no intention of harming this child.”

“…Then what are you trying to do?”

“I plan to make this child at least a little more comfortable.”

So Wol-hyeon’s tone of voice seemed like she was really trying to help Cheon Myeong-myeong, but Seo Dae-mun couldn’t easily believe those words.

Isn’t that suspicious enough when you look at So Wol-hyeon’s actions up to now?

It was an incomprehensible action for someone who had not hesitated to commit such a merciless act against Jincheonha to suddenly offer help.

“…How on earth are you going to make naming easier?”

“Do I have to explain that to you in detail?”

“…….”

“No matter what you do, I intend to help this child. If you try to stop me, I don’t mind. But the more you do that, the more this child’s life will be in danger.”

Seodaemun couldn’t refute those words.

As I said, there is no way for me to stop So Wol-hyeon.

Even if he tried to use force, he would inevitably end up consuming a thousand internal energy.

Since that would mean not protecting Cheon Myeong Myeong but rather killing Cheon Myeong Myeong with one’s own hands, it was best to just sit back and watch whatever So Wol Hyeon did.

dump-.

At that time, Cheon Myeong-myeong finally lost consciousness.

“I am also responsible for this child’s collapse.”

“…….”

“I have the stigma of being a traitor, but I’m not as vile as you think.”

I didn’t sense any falsehood in those words.

Of course, there was no one in this world who would call him a despicable guy, but at least So Wol-hyeon in front of him felt different than when he killed Jin Cheon-ha.

Eventually, Seodaemun left the room, and Sowolhyeon walked forward and placed her hand on Cheon Myeongmyeong’s head, who had fallen to the floor.

Sus-.

At that moment, a black light appeared in So Wol-hyeon’s eyes.

Are you using the eye trick again?

I told him that using his internal energy any longer would be a burden to Cheon Myeong-myeong… …. The moment he was about to stop, Seodaemun stopped moving after seeing Cheon Myeong-myeong’s expression.

‘Your complexion… … .’

It looked much better than before.

What on earth did you do to make Cheon Myeong-myeong’s complexion suddenly improve like this?

In a situation where direct intervention was not possible, the only way to treat the rapid loss of internal energy was to rest, so Seodaemun couldn’t help but wonder what on earth Sowolhyun had done.

“This will make things a lot more comfortable.”

Soon, So Wol-hyeon removed her hands from her head and stood up straight again.

Before I knew it, both of my eyes had returned to normal.

As So Wol-hyeon was about to disappear as if he had finished his work, Seo Dae-mun hurriedly called out to him.

“Now, just wait a minute!”

“…….”

“What on earth did you do?”

Although he omitted the context, So Wol-hyeon immediately knew what Seodaemun was asking.

“I hallucinated this guy.”

“……?”

“In reality, my danjeon was so empty that I lost consciousness, but I created an illusion of energy through hallucinations to make me feel like my danjeon was filled with some internal energy.”

Seodaemun found it difficult to believe those words.

Making people feel like they have internal energy through hallucinations… … Are you saying that something like that is possible?

However, Cheon Myeong-myeong’s complexion actually looked better than before, and if that hadn’t been the case, there would have been no way to explain the current situation.

“You don’t have to worry, it’s a method I’ve used several times in the past.”

“…….”

“Of course, this is just an illusion created by hallucination. So it will disappear over time, but by then, I will have recovered some of my internal energy, so it won’t matter if it disappears.”

It may have seemed like only first aid, but in this situation, even that much would have been a huge help.

Aren’t there actually cases where patients who would otherwise die survive thanks to quick emergency treatment?

Although I couldn’t understand exactly what he had done, I could definitely tell that So Wol-hyeon had been of great help to Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“Is this okay?”

“…thank you.”

“I didn’t do it to be thanked. So no need to say hello.”

“I will do so. As the master of naming, I have a duty to say so.”

“Master…….”

So Wol-hyeon looked at Seodaemun while muttering in a low voice.

“You’re different from the other two guys.”

“……?”

“The other two guys were anxious because they couldn’t catch me, so don’t you hate me?”

“Why do you think I would hate you?”

“I am a sinner who committed treason against the first Heavenly Demon. And even now, I wish for the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Isn’t that enough reason to be hated?”

A sinner who committed treason against the first Heavenly Horse. Later generations recorded him as such.

As Sowolhyun spoke as if she felt somewhat bitter, Seodaemun immediately opened his mouth.

“I don’t think you’re that kind of person.”

“…….”

“He may have actually committed treason, but I think there must have been a reason for it that no one else knows about.”

At those words, So Wol-hyeon remained silent as if speechless.

“To me, you are just a benefactor who saved my disciple’s life.”

“…….”

“thank you.”

Seodaemun once again expressed his gratitude.

So Wol-hyeon remained silent at those words, and soon her figure became blurred and disappeared completely.

“Sowolhyeon…….”

When he killed Jincheonha, Sowolhyeon was a cold-hearted and merciless person.

But wasn’t the way he looked when he helped Cheon Myeong-myeong completely different from that?

What on earth is the real Sowolhyeon? Seodaemun still had a feeling that it was unknown.

Swish-.

Within, his gaze quietly turned towards Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Although he had not yet regained consciousness, Cheon Myeong-myeong was lying down with a relaxed expression on his face, as if he had fallen asleep.

“I think the only person who can bring out that person’s true feelings is Myeong-yeong, you.”

After muttering in a low voice, the sight of Seodaemun also slowly disappeared.
