Absolute Regression

Episode 33 Is this a new self-defense weapon?

“If you put it in your mouth, can you digest it?”

Hyeolcheondoma asked provocatively.

“I will chew it thoroughly and swallow it.”

“Look at this Confucius. “There is a natural order to things in this world.”

“Isn’t it natural to eat snacks while drinking alcohol?”

Hyeolcheondoma pressed his fingers between his eyebrows as if he had a headache. Then he burst out in anger and jumped up.

“I can’t stand it anymore. “I waited for you for three days, but you’re asking me for conditions that don’t even seem like words?”

He pulled out the Annihilation Blade that was stuck in the ground.

“I’m going to Cheonmajeon with that head in my hand!”

I love you so much!

The Blood Heavenly Blade swung the Death Heavenly Sword. It wasn’t really an intention to kill me, but it was a nervous attack filled with anger.

Kaang!

When I struck it back with the black magic sword, a sharp metallic sound erupted.

“Pretty good! “It’s pretty good!”

Hyeolcheon Doma was impressed. It was an attack loaded with considerable power, but it seems they didn’t know that it would be so easily blocked.

“Yes, it won’t be easy to take off that precious head, right?”

The Blood Heaven Sword swung the Death Heaven Blade again. It was a faster and stronger attack than the previous attack.

This time, I struck down the immortal sword that was flying vertically, tearing through the wind, with the black magic sword.

Kaaaaang!

A louder sound than the previous attack erupted.

Although it was the Great Destroyer of Destruction, nicknamed the Weapon Destroyer, it could not damage the Black Magic Sword. I had peace of mind.

-You keep fussing, should we break it? Destroyed Weapon Destroyer! Wouldn’t it be great to have a rumor to decorate tomorrow morning?

It was a thought that occurred to Sword as a joke, but was it because he had such feelings in mind? The desire to write Pungsinsabo arose.

Will the Hyeolcheon Doma be able to block the Myeongwangbo that I unfold?

This was a temptation created by my fighting spirit. When encountering a strong enemy, a martial arts skill of the highest level, such as Pungshinsabo, reacts. Let’s fight. So let’s win.

‘no! Not yet.’

Time is on my side, so there is no reason to engage in a dangerous fight with insufficient internal strength.

Before the third attack came, I took a step back, pretending that my wrist was in pain. Of course, that didn’t mean that my wishes were rejected.

“Give me the demon army.”

Hyeolcheondoma withdrew his sword and asked.

“Who on earth are you asking to sit in the position of demon lord? Could it be you?”

“Of course not.”

“Then who?”

“Please seat Jangho, the three major lords.”

“Jangho?”

If Jangho becomes the demon lord, I can make the demon lord my friendly organization. If that happens, the school’s position will become stronger than before.

Not only would it be helpful to me, but it would also be of great help to our school if a warrior like Jangho became a demon lord.

“It is not easy for me to make Jang Ho the Demon Lord.”

What he said was true.

If you were to select a leader from within the Demon Army, Jang Ho would be a strong candidate, but in the case of an elite organization like the Demon Army, the leader was chosen from an outside source. Cheonma-jeon and Palma-jon engage in a war of nerves, trying to get each person to sit down.

“Hey Confucius! “If you are too greedy, your stomach will explode.”

“Isn’t the path we have to take a path in which we have to eat until our stomachs explode?”

“we?”

“It was the old man who suggested that we go crazy and eat them all. It was the old man who asked me to join hands. “Is the path that crazy people take a normal path?”

“You guys!”

“Then isn’t it? “How could you join hands with me without going crazy, in case other people don’t notice?”

Hyeolcheondoma glared at me with burning eyes.

I don’t know where his ambitions are ultimately directed. Because he died before revealing it to the world.

Surprisingly, the first one among the Palmazons to die was Hyeolcheondo. This strict and cunning chopping block.

“joy! “It seems like I became a Heavenly Demon right away.”

“Aren’t you the one who cheated on me? What on earth are you trying to do with me? Are you trying to take advantage of a young man with nothing but flashy words? Like the elder disciples?”

As if my words hit the nail on the head, Hyeolcheondoma shouted.

“Your greed overturned the table!”

Boom.

In fact, after kicking and knocking over the drinking table, he flew away.

As I looked at him disappearing into the distance, I smiled faintly. This is because it was the moment when Hyeolcheon Doma’s composure was broken for the first time.

He won’t be able to refuse my offer. Because you probably know better than anyone that I have seven more drinking tables besides his drinking table.

* * *

I devoted myself to martial arts training at a private training center.

This is something I always felt while practicing after returning, but I really liked the youthful feeling of not getting tired. This was not a matter of whether there was more or less inner strength. Even without any effort, my body felt light and energetic.

The eternal truth that something is precious only when it is lost will be most powerfully applied to this youth.

Yeah, I didn’t know at the time. How precious time is passing by. How much I will miss this moment later.

Martial arts? money? authority? The fact that it is youth that is sacrificed to obtain it… is both funny and sad. My reality is that even if I go back, I have no choice but to keep running.

Still, it’s a mistake you know. Because I know its importance better than anyone else, I practiced every step carefully and with all my might.

I wandered among virtual enemies with Pungshinsabo.

At first there were three or four enemies, but as training continued, the number of enemies increased. Five became seven and seven became ten.

At first the enemies were just standing there like scarecrows, but now my imaginary enemies moved, talked, and even swore at me. As they continued to train, their martial arts level also increased. The level of my training was determined by my martial imagination.

If I devoted 70% of my training to Pungshinsabo, I spent the rest of my time practicing Ki training and the Heavenly Demon Defense technique that my father taught me.

After a bout of training, I lay down on the floor of the training center and caught my breath. Even though I sweated so much that my whole body was wet, there is no better feeling than this moment after finishing training.

I could see red sunset clouds passing by beyond the window.

How great would it be to go on a cruise in Jungwon with this young body? The sunset I watched while looking for Dafa materials and the sunset I watched after killing Fire Mugi and becoming the best person in the world would be completely different…

Before returning, I only imagined this moment of returning and endured the hardships. Now, I am holding back and looking forward to the future after killing Hwamugi.

You shouldn’t only think about who you are today. Tomorrow, I will die miserably at the hands of my opponent due to lack of training. Okay, let’s hold on.

When I got up again, my imaginary enemies also got up again.

* * *

Two days later, new news arrived.

It was news that Hyeolcheondoma had recommended the Three Great Lords, Jangho, as a candidate for Demon Lord.

Even though Hyeolcheondoma got so annoyed and disappeared, he eventually accepted my wishes. In the first place, it was a drinking table that he couldn’t overturn.

The person who was most surprised by this news was Jang-ho, the person involved.

“What happened?”

Just by coming to see me and asking questions, I can tell that he is an intelligent and perceptive person.

If I were an ordinary person, I would have thought this was a sudden stroke of luck. However, Jang-ho was a person who realized that there is no such luck in this world.

“This is what Gongja Lee did, right?”

“That’s right. “I asked Hyeolcheon Doma for a favor.”

“I am grateful that you treat me so highly, but it is not a position I can handle.”

“There is no need to be humble. “This is the place that the demon lord who died to me also occupied.”

“That’s a different case.”

“I will lead like a third generation. Then, I am sure that you will become the best demon lord among all demon lords of all time.”

In particular, he was the one with the strongest martial arts skills among the great lords. We also received active support from the three great martial artists. If they were selected from within, they were well qualified.

“You are overestimating me.”

“You may be underestimating yourself. Anyway, other candidates are also being mentioned, so let’s wait and see.”

Jangho was embarrassed and happy at the same time. What are the dreams of the demonic lords?

“Well, we’ve done everything we had to do, so let’s leave the result to Heaven’s will.”

* * *

To Jang-ho, I told him that it is true and great, but the indifferent sky will surely respond. I have to work diligently and make things happen.

That night I went to see my father.

My father had a separate lodging in Cheonmajeon, and I think it was probably the largest and most luxurious lodging in the world.

And now, at the unfamiliar sight of my father standing before me, I blinked as if I had seen something in vain.

“Is this the new self-defense armor?”

“No, it’s my pajamas.”

“….”

“….”

“It’s a flower pattern pajamas. “It’s not a devil or an evil spirit…”

“Because it’s a caution that you should sleep comfortably.”

It was my first time seeing my father in pajamas. The bright flower-patterned pajamas were shocking, but it was even more surprising that they showed it like this. You could have changed into different clothes after telling me to wait.

“What’s going on at night?”

“You mean late at night? It’s early evening. I didn’t know you went to bed this early. Isn’t this top secret? If the Murim Alliance finds out, they will attack right away. “They say the Heavenly Demon sleeps early, so let’s make a surprise attack in the middle of the night!”

“Just business!”

“yes.”

After shaking off the jokes, I revealed the reason why I came today.

“I plan to use the Hyeolcheon cutting board as my knife.”

“When did you say you were going to kill me?”

“Because it would be a waste to kill him.”

This may not be news to your father. When Hyeolcheon Doma recommended Jang Ho, you must have already noticed that Hyeolcheon Doma and I joined hands.

Not only my father, but anyone interested in school politics can guess. Everyone is paying attention. How will my relationship with Hyeolcheondoma progress? How will my brother react later and how will the other Magons move?

My father changed the topic.

“How about a new sword?”

“I like it.”

“Let me see.”

I gave the black magic sword to my father with its sheath.

My father slowly pulled out the black magic sword and then nodded in satisfaction.

“I got on the right track.”

“Do you know just by holding it?”

“You’ll know when you catch them, but you’ll know after you’re stabbed, right?”

My father said, handing back the dark magic sword.

“Hyeolcheondoma will not be tamed this easily.”

“I have no intention of taming it. I will use it until it breaks. “It’s still not worth collecting.”

“And what if you get cut?”

“Then you have to cut it. Instead, there will be a difference between it and the Hyeolcheon Doma. If an old blood chopping board breaks once, it’s over, but the more I cut, the stronger I will become. “I will apply the medicine, apply a bandage, and move on.”

“It’s easy. But why are you reporting to me?”

“Now I am receiving a bonus from my father, so of course I have to report it.”

My father’s eyes narrowed.

“You didn’t come here to ask for a recommendation from Hyeolcheon Doma?”

He is indeed a quick-witted person, but he was wrong this time.

“No, it’s the opposite. “Never allow Hyeolcheondoma to do as he wishes.”

“Don’t give me permission? The reason is?”

“At this point, I’m going to break the spirit of Hyeolcheon Doma. How powerful he was in front of me. Sometimes, he acts better than his father. “I intend to break that spirit.”

“Stop talking nonsense. “Tell me what you really think.”

“Why do you think I don’t mean it?”

“This is your chance to obtain a demon army, but are you giving up the demon army just because you can break the spirit of the Blood Heavenly Demon? “Aren’t you that kind of kid?”

He is also a keen father.

“Yes, you enjoyed it.”

“What are you aiming for?”

“It’s because I have something to gain from Hyeolcheondoma. “For that to happen, this incident must not go as Hyeolcheondoma wants.”

“Is it more important than the demon army?”

“In some ways. Oh, and I will also make Demon Lord mine. “I will make it all mine.”

My father, who had been staring at me, turned around.

“Stop laughing and go.”

Those were the words, but I could feel it. I hope my father will listen to my request.

I smiled as I looked at the flower in full bloom on my father’s back.

‘Father, at least there won’t be anything funnier than those pajamas tonight.’
