Chapter 848

#848. Naughty, old-fashioned old man.

* * *

What an asshole.

He was thinking about it even now.

This may be too harsh an assessment.

But no matter what anyone said, he had no intention of changing that assessment.

Perpetual drinker and gambler.

When you win from gambling, you become a bitch.

When he lost, he would come back drunk and take out his anger by beating his children.

However, he hated the man who passed on family problems to his children while imitating common sense outside.

But what he didn’t like most of all was that he was his child.

How children resemble their parents.

No matter how much you hate that bastard.

No, because I hate it so much.

Because he didn’t want to accept that he would one day become a bastard like his father.

So he kicked out of the house.

To become a free gunman and escape the fate that entangled him.

Unfortunately,

his fate did not change.

While he was shooting for a living day by day, he became a common gunman who would do anything for money.

I couldn’t help it.

like a different way of life.

Growing up under the father -like father, he never learned and could not learn.

so in the end

he became a madman

He makes money by drinking, drinking, and gambling with women.

The son of a bastard eventually accepts his fate while laughing at his own fate, saying that he is a bastard.

“Are you the borrower?”

…until I met a swordsman in the wilderness.

“Hmm. I think I didn’t learn a bit, but my muscles and bones aren’t bad.”

With white hair like an old man without a single wrinkle, and a look that looked up and down from the start, he looked up and down.

To be honest.

His first impression was not good.

On the contrary, even the worst was not enough.

“You become my disciple.”

“What bullshit?”

Fuck!

“Queuck!”

“First of all, you should learn a bit more about your personality than swordsmanship.”

I am not a collector who will try to capture any rare animal as soon as I see it.

Don’t they force you to become their apprentice, saying that you seem to have the talent to become a sword master out of the blue?

Don’t you throw your fists all over the place?

Don’t you nag all kinds of things?

Wouldn’t you like to teach knives?

Why did he, who is a sword master and a nabal and has no interest, have to go through a lot of hardships being caught by such an old-fashioned old man?

It was to the point of resenting fate.

but while traveling together.

he came to know

This kkondae is a swordsman.

A hero recognized and praised by everyone, a protector of mankind who saved the world many times.

Of course, even if you defeat the fallen spirit that attacked the village, you won’t get any money.

On the contrary, the crazy act of even donating money to use for the restoration of the village was something Billy couldn’t understand.

Even so, the move is so noble.

Why does it shine?

He ended up…

* * *

“…that’s not what you’re talking about.”

“Kyahaha! I’m so ashamed of this. I thought it was a step forward, but it happened just before I was caught and it ended up like this.”

grinning

A cheeky cowboy with a cheeky smile.

Limon, who was looking at Billy heavily, opened his mouth quietly.

“You were overdoing it.”

“What do you mean by impossible?”

“This is it.”

slowly.

Limon put his hand in his bosom.

And what I got from Sir.

In other words, he took out the bloody knife from her shoulder and continued talking.

“You gave your knife to the old woman.”

“Is there anything to be embarrassed about? I just forgot to put a knife in there.”

“If you really forgot, you wouldn’t have spilled your blood here.”

“Well, isn’t it possible that a person’s hand might slip after a little torture?”

The sword master’s hand slipped while cutting.

Limon closed his eyes as he saw Billy making an unfunny joke.

She even smeared her knife with blood so that she could use it as a fetish, and deliberately gave her the opportunity to escape by fighting as loudly as possible.

Everything Billy did.

He didn’t know exactly either.

But to know many other things.

Limon said heavily.

“It was like that from the moment you resurrected in the first place, throwing a knife at me.”

“Ah, is that a greeting?”

“okay.”

“Honestly, it was very disappointing. If Master had run a little faster, it would have been a great opportunity.”

Billy chuckled.

Right after Wanderer revived everyone.

When all the other sword masters had scattered all over the world and were alone with the wandering Wanderer.

If you find them right away.

Limon would have been able to easily deal with the Wanderers, and he wouldn’t have had to fight fiercely against the sword masters like now.

“It must have been you who scattered the sword masters.”

“Hey, I was just letting you know that there are no prohibitions against going for a walk while drinking.”

“….”

“But Master is also not very popular. How could it be that out of those nine people, only two of my sister and sister-in-law escaped?”

I laid the plate so much.

Saying that I didn’t know that there were only two people who even attempted to escape.

Billy laughed.

Still, it was fortunate that I was able to deal with the sword castle in the meantime.

Of course, the most important thing was that he was able to earn Wanderer’s trust thanks to staying alone while everyone else left.

“I’m sure it was you who informed me of the Golden Lord’s plan, right?”

“Well, even then, I did a lot of hard work.”

Sending a secret letter about the Golden Monarch’s Last War project to destroy the World Peace Plan, which even Lee Chun-gi did not know in detail.

Don’t let Suri run and get involved in the fight against the Seven Dragons.

Made the golden lord, who had no intention of fighting, invade the fairy kingdom.

Dare to accept Limon’s challenge for a duel and go to a disadvantageous battle.

Reflecting on Billy’s actions to deal with the golden lord, Limon let out a heavy sigh.

It wasn’t just that time.

In Egypt, when fighting him.

Even the swordsmen were bombed together.

Backing down even though I could have fought with any advantage.

As much as Billy had shown suspicious behavior more than once or twice, Limon was also vaguely aware of it.

I just wasn’t sure.

until just a while ago.

“If you’re using the knife as Morse code to tell us where the gun is, what were you going to do if we didn’t notice?”

“I couldn’t help it. After the death of the priest and the ambassador, the spell became stronger.”

“…”

“Well, since there is a Black Dragon Princess on Master’s side, of course I believed that he would notice.”

Pretending to bomb indiscriminately.

Hundreds of knives poured into only the stronghold of the Seven Dragons or remote remote areas that the princesses could block.

Billy, who used that as a code and gave him the location of the sword gun, smiled.

“I wish I would have noticed sooner. Anyway, I’m not very lucky.”

If Limon had noticed that fact a little sooner, he would have been able to get the mighty dragon sword first and set a trap at the entrance of the sword gun.

Watching Billy giggling.

Limon said quietly.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s not something Master would be sorry for. After all, this is all for my long-cherished dream.”

“There was also a way to cooperate with the World Federation to achieve your long-cherished wish.”

“That’s right, no matter how you look at the ladies and gentlemen here, they seem to be going in a different direction from what I’ve been longing for… cool!”

If it helped him achieve his long-cherished wish, he would have cooperated with the World Federation.

while talking with a smirk.

Billy coughed violently.

And he laughed awkwardly at the dark blood oozing out of his mouth.

“It looks like I ate too much ketchup on my hamburger today.”

torn arms.

Both legs amputated.

neck exposed to the bone.

A body covered in black tattoos.

From one empty eye to the decaying wounds all over the body, to seething maggots.

As a price of betrayal, he was not able to die gracefully and suffered from all sorts of curses and suffers from hell.

Even so, Billy, who had not lost his jokes and laughter, started to bleed again.

No matter how tenacious the sword master was, there was a limit to his ability to withstand the fact that the spell itself, which had sustained his life, reversed itself and gnawed away his life.

That’s why I faced Limon with heavy eyes.

Billy opened his mouth again.

“Master, there is one last question I want to ask you.”

The pleasant smile you always had.

Without any snarky words.

in the deepest snow.

with a serious face.

he asked.

“Was my life this time heroic?”

―I want to be a hero.

A dream that even a child would have.

However, to achieve that one long-cherished wish, I saw a disciple who lived through all means and ran to the end even after being resurrected from death.

After a long silence.

Limon closed his eyes.

“no.”

I wanted to tell you.

that you were heroic enough

But I know that such an outspoken lie is not what Billy wants, nor is it for him.

Quiet continues.

“A hero is not something he makes himself. It is a being created.”

He is called the protector of mankind.

Even though I’ve lived as a hero all my life.

Or rather, as someone who knows how fleeting it is to be a hero.

said Limon.

“So if you really wanted to be a hero, you had to wait until the world needed you.”

“…”

“If you can’t stand the wait, you can’t be called a hero no matter how many people praise and support you.”

“…Is that so?”

At the words of Limon.

Billy did not disappoint.

Instead, I just ate and laughed.

because he knew

Even though racism is okay, he even kills the Sword Spirit to become a hero for white people.

In order to gain fame, he even invades the base of the Golden Dragon Clan.

Even so, he did not become a hero in the end and tried to start a civil war, just like in his lifetime when he was cut by Limon.

That he was too hasty this time too.

“In the end, I guess it can’t be helped that it’s nature.”

“Maybe.”

Even though he died and woke up and got another chance, he said he couldn’t become a hero.

Bitter Billy’s Lament.

Limon did not deny it.

Instead, he just spoke softly.

“But Billy, you may not have become a hero, but you have become a proud disciple to me.”

“…!”

Maybe because it was so unexpected?

After staring blankly at Limon with the only eye left wide open.

Billy laughed.

“under.”

like the wind blows

Short, light and shallow.

yet so clear.

A strangely satisfying laugh.

“Anyway, he’s like a mean old man…”

Even though he muttered that it’s really arrogant to calmly say such an unfamiliar thing to a subject who can’t even say empty words for his disciples until the end.

Billy chuckled.

yes maybe

Be a hero or not.

maybe it didn’t matter

What he wanted was just…

a click.

“….”

Like that….

Leaving only the old pistol behind.

turned to ashes and crumbled.

Even if the beliefs were different.

In the end, it couldn’t be excommunicated.

Picking up the belongings of the student he admired the most among the seven sword masters he taught.

The hero who had lived too long quietly closed his eyes.
