87 – The Need to Survive

“What are you doing?”

Looking at Choi Tae-sik at the threatening situation that occurred again, he strongly protested.

However, Choi Tae-sik pushed the blade even closer to my neck.

After that, the story continued in a cold voice.

“You call that a horse? In your eyes, my son is a bastard to beat, but to me, he’s just a crooked bastard because he met his parents the wrong way. But you want me to take one side and kill you?”

“No, what are you thinking so extreme! That’s enough to keep Choi Woo-seok from touching Soo-jeong! He says he has to step down from the position of guild leader!”

“Tsk tsk….”

Choi Tae-shik looks at me with pitiful eyes.

And then, as if his pulse was throbbing, he drew back his sword and said.

“Listen carefully. The Seonggwang Guild is the overwhelming number 1 in Korea and a super-large guild that is also recognized in the world. But he sat on top of it. Can I really easily put down and give up the taste of that mighty power?”

“So you are saying that even if you die, you will fight to the end to preserve your place?”

“Yes. He’s the one who will stay And the operating policy of the Seonggwang Guild is survival of the fittest. Even the children of my blood are no exception. I will fight with the idea that only the strong survive.”

The words of Choi Tae-sik, who spoke as if it were obvious, instantly raised a fever and glared at him.

“So you would stand by when one of your children could die this time? Is that how you love your children?”

Choi Tae-sik suddenly grabs me by the collar after harsh criticism.

And then he said urgently.

“Listen carefully. Unlike you, I have both power and fame. Just my participation will change the battle situation, and the opponent may be defined as evil because of the value of the name. The name I have as a swordsman has such an ability.”

“So you’re not asking me to dry it!”

“You idiot! Can’t you understand when I say this? There is no justification. Justification! I want to too. However, as long as the name Sword Demon is included, there must be a reason to participate! If you just participate, there will be no choice but to say something after that!”

An explanation close to Choi Tae-sik’s yelling.

After that, when I couldn’t answer anything, he let go of his hand.

I didn’t think that even though it was a parent-child relationship, I had to think about it this complicatedly and solve it.

And at that moment, a thought passed through his head as he looked at Choi Tae-shik and said,

“… Then, wouldn’t it be okay to make a justification?”

“How are you going to make it?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I could become your disciple if you gave me permission?”

At that, Choi Tae-sik snorted.

“My disciple doesn’t even know how to use a sword, so would you believe me if I said I was a disciple?”

“Weapon is not important, in the end, isn’t it just a form of fist, sword, or gun?”

“You speak well. But as I said before, he would risk his life to become my disciple. This one is no joke like before. I could really die.”

“… Can’t you just lend me your name?”

“Will that work? And now, if you mess up, the doubts will come out. They said that the sword demon’s apprentice has become so weak.”

That’s enough.

Even if you can’t rub against the Sword Demon, there must be one or two people who wonder what to do because they’re the Sword Demon’s disciples.

“How is it? Will you risk your life again to become my disciple? If you survive, you will naturally become stronger, and if this incident is over, I will teach you swordsmanship myself.”

At first glance, it sounds like an attractive proposal, but it is not as easy as asking to be prepared for death again.

But it seems that there is no choice.

At least this seems to be the only way to live according to my will and beliefs.

“I will.”

“… He’s a funny guy It’s like saying you’re going to die twice a day.”

“How do I do it? This is the only way to save Sujeongi.”

Choi Tae-sik didn’t answer that question.

Then he took something out of his pocket and handed it to me.

A drug that looks exactly like the one I made to tease you earlier.

Choi Tae-sik said with a solemn expression.

“If you are really desperate, come back alive. Cleaning up the corpses is a requirement.”

Choi Tae-shik replied with a smile thinking that it was his own support.

Then he put the medicine in his hand into his mouth.

Unlike the 100% cacao chocolate I ate earlier, it tastes rather sweet.

Since it is harder than chocolate, it feels closer to candy.

The moment I was about to say a word while looking at Choi Tae-sik, wondering if this was a joke again because of the taste that kept lingering in my mouth.

Suddenly, my eyes began to blur.

Drowsiness comes as if you have taken a lot of sleeping pills.

Unable to withstand the overwhelming fatigue, I lay down on the floor.

And Choi Tae-shik comes to my side.

“Never give up.”

The moment I heard Choi Tae-sik’s last words, I let go of his consciousness.

The dark vision gradually brightened.

The first thing that catches your eye is a man with his eyes closed on the floor, having a seizure.

He’s still trembling slightly, so it’s clear that something happened a moment ago.

And with a frown on it, Choi Tae-sik was staring at it.

A person is dying and I want to see him still, so I get angry and try to approach Choi Tae-shik, but a memory suddenly flashes through my mind.

… It was me who was having those seizures.

Then, as Choi Tae-shik said, it means that my soul has been separated from my body.

Looking at both hands, it was confirmed that the light passed through the body and became transparent enough to shine through the back.

It’s just that I just need to go back to my body.

I don’t know how you know, but I already know that I can just go close to my body and lie down as it is.

Why is this so difficult?

A pure question that I don’t understand.

Looking at me in this way is a strange experience, but I wonder if this is the point of death.

But that thought didn’t go too far.

Rush. Bang.

At that time, a dark cloud suddenly appeared behind me.

Accompanied by lightning, it grew larger and grew to the size of a car.

Then the wind suddenly started blowing.

“Uh uh… ?”

The wind that pulls me as strongly as a vacuum cleaner.

I don’t know if it’s correct to call it a body, but in any case, the body floating in the air is being dragged toward the dark clouds by the wind so strong that one cannot control one’s body.

I try to get farther away, but I feel the distance from the cloud getting closer little by little.

If my senses get sucked into that place, I’m sending out a danger signal that I won’t be able to come back, but the gap keeps getting smaller no matter how hard I try.

I tried to use magic, but since I don’t have a physical body, it’s impossible to even use magic.

The moment I was closest to death out of all the experiences I’ve had so far.

My head is getting more and more complicated, so it’s hard to deal with it as calmly as usual.

As a result, my body was dragged to the entrance where the wind came out.

At that time, my head was suddenly filled with unknown anger.

I struggled hard to survive, but it ended like this?

I don’t like it.

It’s too sad and resentful to die like this.

Why do I have to end this unfairly without even shouting at the people who hurt me?

It’s unfair.

And I want to know.

What is Sujeongi hiding?

And if you really love me.

After everything is over, I want to calmly talk and check once again.

As lingering feelings and tenacity mixed with anger filled my head, an unknown power suddenly began to surround my body.

A feeling similar to when I first learned and realized the flow of magical power.

And using that power, it pushed away the sucking wind and threw itself at me lying down.

Then I moved to the place where I first opened my eyes.

At that moment, Choi Tae-sik remembered the last words he said and realized the way back.

The meaning of “Don’t give up” That Choi Tae-shik said meant that you can only come back if you continue to have hope, obsession, regret, and longing for life.

It sounds simple at first glance, but it’s never easy to think like that when you come across a situation like this.

Especially when you’re feeling hopeless because you can’t use magic and you don’t have any power like you did just now.

Still, I found a way at the end, so it’s okay.

Let’s go back.

To the place where I have to live again.

As I kept thinking of all kinds of lingering feelings and hopes for things I hadn’t done in my life as expected, my body naturally overcame the wind and moved forward.

And now there is only one step left to my body, which has stopped having seizures and is sleeping quietly.

“It’s all here… !”

If you go a little further, you can go back.

With that kind of aspiration, I thought of things I wanted to continue doing or things I had to do, but strangely, I couldn’t move forward any more.

I wonder if there is another way to go further, but I can’t come up with a specific number.

Hui-Iik.

At that moment, the sound of strong wind passing by my ears.

I turned around and saw that the dark clouds were approaching as if they had changed their minds.

I felt like I was going to panic again at the approaching dark clouds as I quickly closed the distance, but I gathered my mind and figured out what it would be like to overcome this last step.

What was needed in the process of moving forward was hope or aspiration.

It may or may not suddenly change.

Then, what do you need?

While I was thinking about it, the answer suddenly came to my mind.

I don’t know if this is correct or not.

But now there is no other way to shake off that dark cloud that has approached the back of my head, so I remembered it honestly.

The biggest reason I want to go back alive.

And at that moment, a white light radiated from my body and embraced me.

Then the dark clouds could no longer approach me.

I was relieved to think that I had done it, but I lost my mind once again feeling a sense of shame.
