Episode 214. The reason you must die (1)

Surrounded by enemies. Cheon Myeong-Myeong sensed the hostility from all sides and knew it right away.

But there was one question.

Where on earth did the enemies surrounding this area come from?

Since he hadn’t felt any movement while searching the forest today, Cheon Myeong-Myeong was wondering why so many enemies had suddenly appeared.

“…….”

Could it be that he was simply unaware of the enemy’s presence?

Of course that’s a possibility, but I felt like there was something I didn’t know.

To confirm that fact, we’ll have to find out what those guys are.

Cheon Myeong-myeong spoke once again to the enemies who were neither candidates nor judges, who were still hiding in the darkness.

“I’ll ask again.”

“…….”

“Who are you guys? Where have you been and why are you only showing up now?”

At that moment, a shape in the darkness began to move quickly.

Of course, he didn’t think he would get an answer so easily, so Cheon Myeong-myeong also pulled out his sword with his other hand and entered a fighting stance.

months-!

The figures that had been wandering through the grass suddenly appeared.

In an instant, they gathered where Cheon Myeong-myeong was standing and stabbed him with their swords from all sides.

“……!”

But the swords thrusting in from all sides lost their target and simply tangled together in the air.

The appearance of Cheon Myeong-myeong disappeared without a trace.

At that moment, the enemies seemed to sense something and hurriedly raised their heads and looked upward.

Swish-.

There, a thousand people were holding swords and swords crossed.

A blast of heat and a gale of wind rose simultaneously from both sides, and the new form of Cheonmyeongmyeong quickly descended downwards.

And then a loud noise echoes through the quiet forest.

Enemies who had attacked Cheon Myeong Myeong lost their posture due to the shock and were blown away in all directions.

Pot-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong rushed towards one of them.

He swung his sword straight at the vital point, but his opponent responded to Cheonmyeongmyeong’s attack and blocked it with his sword.

‘He is a man of ability.’

I knew from the moment I saw the movement that it wasn’t a fluke.

Cheon Myeong-myeong was certain that these were professionally trained warriors, seeing how they calmly responded to his attacks even in a situation where their ranks were broken.

It can’t be a coincidence that these guys appeared in front of him.

As Cheon Myeong-Myeong narrowed down the enemy’s identity, he immediately swung his sword from the other side.

visor-!

As someone with considerable skill, he reacted even to small attacks.

Normally, it seemed like the attack had been blocked perfectly, but there was a follow-up to Cheonmyeongmyeong’s attack.

“bang.”

At that time, Cheon Myeong-myeong quietly muttered this with his mouth.

He looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong as if he couldn’t understand the tone of voice that seemed to be teasing him, and immediately, an explosion-like shock occurred in the part that was in contact with the sword.

In the end, the sword blade was unable to withstand the shock and broke along with the sword energy.

The enemy’s body was also twisted into a bizarre shape and flung far away.

Phew-.

As soon as he blew away the enemy, Cheon Myeong-myeong turned around and swung his sword.

Then, a strong wind blew from the direction the sword was swung.

From behind, enemies were rushing towards Cheon Myeong-myeong, so he was hit directly by a sudden gust of wind and temporarily stopped moving.

Cheon Myeong-Myeong approached the enemies in an instant as if he was flying on the wind, and moved the sword and dagger in both hands at a speed that was invisible to the eye as he moved through the enemy lines.

dump-.

At that moment, many enemies fell to the ground, spurting blood.

There were some enemies who were still standing with only a few cuts, but more than half of them had been hit directly in the vital spot.

“Do you feel like answering the question now?”

“…….”

“I guess I have to kill more.”

At that moment, a sharp sword energy split through the grass and flew towards Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Cheon Myeong-Myeong blocked the sword energy by crossing his sword and sword, but the power of the sword energy was so great that his body was slightly pushed back.

A sword energy that returns to its original position like a whip when the attack is blocked.

Cheon Myeong-myeong’s eyes widened slightly when he saw that sight.

‘That’s… … .’

That sword that just attacked him. Cheon Myeong-Myeong had faced enemies using that kind of sword before.

If I was not mistaken, the sword technique I just saw was definitely the Cheon Sang Jo Ta Sword, the poisonous sword technique of the Byeong Jin Ga.

“…….”

Cheon Se-nal and Jin So-han had already died by their own hands.

So, does that mean the person who just attacked you is someone else from the Byungjinga clan?

Cheon Myeong-myeong thought that his entire family had been wiped out for treason against the cult leader, so he couldn’t help but wonder why someone using the Heavenly Sword was here.

Thud- thud-.

But that question was quickly resolved.

A person walking slowly from the direction where the black energy came from.

Although he couldn’t see very well in the darkness, Cheon Myeong-myeong could vaguely make out the other person’s face.

“It seems like killing you won’t be easy.”

“…….”

“You’re not even surprised. Did you know about it?”

There was Cheon Hae-kyung smiling with a gentle smile.

Given the circumstances, it must have been him who attacked him with the Heavenly Sword.

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at him with an indifferent expression and then quietly opened his mouth.

“More or less.”

“I see. I thought I hid my life well.”

“Now that you don’t seem to have any intention of hiding it, let me ask you. Was this all planned by you from the beginning?”

“…….”

Cheon Hae-gyeong did not answer right away.

At that moment, a new smile appeared on Cheon Hae-kyung’s lips.

It was a smile that felt somewhat eerie, unlike the gentle smiles I had seen so far.

“Yes. The examiner who tried to kill you was also an assassin I planted.”

“…….”

“I didn’t kill him in the end, though. If I had killed him then, I wouldn’t have had to step in like this.”

“…Contrary to his appearance, he was quite a bold guy. How did he do something like this to deal with the aftermath later?”

“Are you worried?”

At that moment, an unpleasant laugh came out of Cheon Hae-gyeong’s mouth.

“There is no problem.”

“…….”

“Because you’re the only one I’ve ever tried to kill.”

After hearing that, Cheon Myeong-myeong was able to learn something.

He was the only one who tried to kill himself. It seemed like he meant that the other candidates were not attacked by the judges like he was.

That is, it means that Cheon Yu-su and Cheon Aeng-hwa are safe.

Cheon Myeong-myeong was secretly relieved by that fact.

“Contests will be underway normally elsewhere by now.”

“…somewhere else?”

“It looks like you haven’t noticed yet.”

“…….”

“This is not Hyeol-eum-san.”

Even Cheon Myeong-myeong couldn’t help but be surprised by that fact.

I can’t believe the mountain I’ve been climbing so far wasn’t Hyeol-eum Mountain.

Of course, it was not that he had not thought about it, but there was another reason why Cheon Myeong-myeong thought of this place as Hyeol-eum-san.

“It’s not like you wouldn’t notice it. The terrain here is quite similar to Hyeol-eum-san.”

“…Cheon Gu-gyo. You planted that guy too.”

“…….”

“You made me believe that this was Hyeol-eum-san by making me face other candidates.”

As if answering, Cheon Hae-gyeong smiled with the corners of her lips raised higher than before.

“As expected, you’re a quick-witted guy. If you hadn’t taken out insurance, your plans would have gone awry long ago.”

“…….”

“As you said, I left the Cheongugyo here on purpose. It was insurance in case I couldn’t kill you.”

“Was killing that guy part of your plan?”

“I had intended to do so from the beginning. Of course, I knew that Cheon Gu-gyo, that guy, meant that he would join forces with me to kill you.”

In the end, it meant that Cheon Gu-gyo was also a victim.

Cheon Myeong-myeong now understood why Cheon Hae-gyeong had beheaded Cheon Gu-gyo in one breath, and why Cheon Gu-gyo had a blank expression on his face as if he didn’t understand why he had died.

“Don’t expect the examiner to come. I chose to come here on purpose so that I wouldn’t be disturbed.”

“…Okay. Now it all makes sense.”

“Then, is it okay to kill you now?”

“Last question.”

“He’s a more talkative guy than I thought.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong naturally ignored it and asked right away.

“Why are you trying to kill me?”

“…….”

“Is there really a reason to kill me after making such grand preparations?”

If you were a person from Cheon Hae-gyeong and Madocheon, you would immediately understand.

Since the shadow singer was unable to kill himself, isn’t it possible that he is trying to kill himself as an extension of that?

So Cheon Myeong-myeong asked that question thinking that Cheon Hae-gyeong was a person from Ma Do-cheon, but the smile disappeared from Cheon Hae-gyeong’s expression as if his thoughts were wrong.

“Cheeky.”

“……?”

“There is only one reason why you should die. It is because you are arrogant.”

Are you saying that you’re going to die because you’re so arrogant?

Cheon Myeong-myeong was momentarily unable to react to the completely unexpected answer.

“…The answer was so unexpected that I was momentarily dumbfounded.”

“…….”

“I may be a little cocky, but have I done anything to deserve that from you?”

There wasn’t anything in particular.

It would be safe to say that I had had little contact with Cheon Hae-kyung during that time, and the first time I had a proper conversation with him was a few days ago when we fought.

Are you saying that you offended Cheon Hae-gyeong there?

When Cheon Myeong-myeong asked as if he really couldn’t understand, Cheon Hae-gyeong’s expression became noticeably fierce.

“A thousand days!”

“……?”

“I am the only one who can challenge that person!”

The name that suddenly popped up.

Cheon Myeong-myeong still had an expression on his face that showed he didn’t understand what Cheon Hae-gyeong was saying.

“When you blocked the path of Cheon Il Myeong, I was shaking with rage.”

“…….”

“Who are you to dare to block Cheon Il Myeong’s path? That guy is someone I must reach. Of course, you, who is ranked 100th in the hierarchy, are not permitted to dare to block his path!”

Number 2 in the hierarchy. That label was always attached to Cheon Hae-kyung from the moment he was born.

Of course, objectively speaking, second place was a high enough ranking, but there was always one person above Cheon Hae-gyeong.

That is the existence called Cheon Il Myeong.

In other words, Cheon Il Myeong was something that Cheon Hae Kyung had been looking forward to throughout his life, and it was a goal that he had intended to achieve someday.

Even though he, who was second in the hierarchy, did not challenge such a being, when none other than Cheon Myeong-myeong, who was 100th in the hierarchy, blocked his way, Cheon Hae-gyeong became so angry that he could not control his anger.

“I can’t stand it. You blocked Cheon Il Myung’s path, and Cheon Il Myung put away his sword as if he acknowledged you!”

“…….”

“The Thousand-Day Mission is something I must achieve! But you dare to touch it first… How presumptuous. So presumptuous!”

An extremely excited expression and gaze. When I recalled the appearances of Cheon Hae-kyung that I had seen so far, it felt like a different person was standing before my eyes.

Only Cheon Hae-gyeong’s voice could be heard in the forest, and as if he had poured out all that he wanted to say, the surroundings became quiet again.

“…That’s why you’re dying.”

“…….”

“Still, I acknowledge your skills. That time, when we clashed swords, I thought I had to kill you.”

“…….”

“I will kill you and then challenge Cheon Il Myeong. That is my plan.”

Before he knew it, Cheon Hae-kyung’s face had returned to its usual appearance.

He raises his sword quietly, as if to end the conversation and begin the battle in earnest.

Just as he was about to swing his sword, Cheon Hae-gyeong stopped moving when he heard Cheon Myeong-myeong’s voice in his ear.

“Then that plan will fail.”

“……?”

At those words, Cheon Hae-gyeong looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong with blank eyes.

“It will be you who will die here, not me.”

“……!”

“In a way, it’s pitiful. Cheon Il Myeong probably doesn’t even care about you.”

That was the person Cheon Il-myeong, who Cheon Myeong-myeong saw.

Everyone else but himself is placed beneath his feet.

Even if it’s second in line.

In the end, in Cheon Il-myeong’s eyes, Cheon Myeong-myeong and Cheon Hae-gyeong were all in the same position.

“It was quite a sad unrequited love.”

“……!”

“One-sided love is bound to never come true.”

“A thousand years of destiny……!”

As if he had hit the nail on the head, Cheon Hae-kyung’s expression distorted with anger again.
