Episode 80 Futility (5)âI donât know how this happened.â
Ma Dong-pilâs face was one of confusion itself.
Juhwa shook his head.
âWeâll find out why later. âI think it would be best to take a break for now.â
Ma Dong-pil nodded. In fact, even if I wanted to find out the reason, there was no immediate way to find out.
âHow are you feeling?â
âare you okay.â
It definitely seemed to be getting better. The face is full of color and the movements of the limbs are very natural.
However, the swelling on my face has not gone down yet. No matter how great the magic skill was, it was not a wound that could be healed in less than half a day.
âWhen do you plan to leave?â
âWhen Confucius wakes up.â
yes.
Ma Dong-pil looked at the carriage in the rear. Confucius was currently on the move after taking some magical medicine.
âWhew.â
Truly, this operation was a shameless affair. If Confucius had known that things would be such a mess, he would have given up on protecting Juhwa and run.
âButâ¦â
As expected, I canât help but express my admiration.
All the demons, led by myself, looked at the traces of the fierce battle on the hill.
And I was shocked. This was because I knew that the traces carved all over the hill were traces that could only be made by using high-level martial arts skills.
This is a martial skill that combat unit commanders in the civil war could not even dream of.
No, it was questionable how many demons across all organizations within the civil war would be able to survive such a fierce battle.
âConfucius, you canât believe itâ¦â
Ma Dong-pilâs face flushed.
âHave you already ascended to that area?â
Transcendence.
It may be easy to say, but the status of those who are called transcendent experts is enormous.
Even if a talented warrior trained at the highest level of martial arts every single day for decades, it was a realm of transcendence that could not be reached without luck.
The very fact that it has transcended the peak in the first place proves the difficulty of this level. The climax means reaching the end, but doesnât it mean that even the end has been transcended?
âConsidering Confuciusâs
age, thisâ¦â Seoliang is now around twenty-five.
You reached that level in your mid-twenties? It was not an area that could be explained with common sense.
âIâm jealous.â
Ma Dong-pilâs fist gained strength.
âI want to follow along.â
There was no jealousy or anything like that. He wasnât someone to be jealous of, and he didnât have a personality that made you feel that way.
However, I was endlessly jealous.
And I wanted to follow along. Even if I couldnât catch up, I wanted to at least reach a place where I could see the back of Seoryang.
âI donât know much about that relationship.â
Ma Dong-pil, startled by the sudden voice, looked at Juhwa.
Juhwa said with his characteristic expressionless face.
âIt looks like the face of a man looking at the woman he loves.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âWerenât you looking at Confucius?â
Ma Dong-pil nodded.
âThatâs right.â
ââ¦.â
ââ¦Itâs not like that.â
âyes.â
âDonât misunderstand. Iâ¦â
âI donât misunderstand. âIâm just saying that.â
ââ¦.â
âIt looks like you have a close relationship with Confucius.â
âThereâs no need to even call it a friendship. âI just worked hard for Confucius, and Confucius evaluated me undeservedly favorably.â
Juhwa shook his head.
âNo matter what, the relationship between you two seems special.â
âItâs not even possible. If I say that, I feel very sorry for Confucius. âI am just a sword and a shield.â
A person who is consistently hard and firm.
Juhwa followed Ma Dongpilâs gaze and turned his head towards the carriage.
âWhat kind of person are you?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âConfucius.â
âYou cannot define a person in a few words. Especially if you are such an amazing person.â
Juhwa, who was quietly looking at the carriage, opened her mouth. For some reason, I thought that after I woke up from silence, I ended up talking a lot.
âConfucius healed my body.â
It was not said that there was any kind of transaction. This was because I thought that Ma Dong-pil might know the inside story, and even if he did, it would not be something he would say.
âMy body was a mess from the poisonous fire. âHe brought my body back to normal in less than 15 days.â
âI see.â
âIt doesnât end there. âWhile I was coming here, I was able to restore my martial arts skills.â
ââ¦!â
âDonât misunderstand, itâs not my full ability. âIt would have been absolutely impossible without Confuciusâ help.â
âHmmâ¦â
âYou also saw Captain Sam, right? âThe sight of Confucius slaying those monsters.â
ââ¦Of course.â
Even now, when I think of that time, my heart aches.
At the same time, it also got hot.
It was truly touching to see Confucius appear like a savior at a desperate moment and sweep away the wolves with his fearsome martial arts skills.
Those who have not experienced that relief will not know. The wind called hope that blew in a moment of despair threw an exhilarating spark into everyoneâs hearts.
âIâve seen martial arts skills greater than that. But I have never seen a martial arts technique more magical than that.â
Ma Dong-pil shook his head.
âNo matter what impression you get, it would be rude to judge Confucius one way or another.â
âi know. I know, butâ¦.â
ââ¦.â
âIâm jealous.â
âWhat do you mean, Iâm jealous?â
âno.â
Ma Dong-pil, who was looking at her blankly, soon turned his head. I didnât want to force a conversation with someone who didnât want to talk.
A moment of silence.
It was the coin that broke the silence.
âWhen do you think youâll wake up?â
âYou mean Confucius?â
âyes.â
âWell, since you are a person with outstanding physical ability, I donât think it will take long. However, the muscles in my entire body were on the verge of rupture, so it would probably last half a dayâ¦â
At that time, a somewhat weak voice was heard from inside the carriage.
âHalf a day is a disaster.â
Shake!
The carriage door opened and Seo-ryang got out. Geumho was following behind him.
âConfucius!â
The two surprised people quickly approached Seo-ryang.
Xu Liangâs complexion was still pale. The demonic energy, which had become unstable due to the inability to control its internal power, began to stir slightly and even stumbled due to lack of strength.
Ma Dong-pil quickly helped him up.
âAre you okay?â
âBitch, does this look good to your eyes?â
âIâm sorry!â
Xu Liang chuckled.
âI have a lot to be sorry for. âAre you hurt anywhere?â
âI am okay.â
âhuh? You say itâs okay, but why does your face look like that? âHave you suffered a broken heart?â
Embarrassed, Ma Dong-pil hurriedly shook his head.
âItâs not like that!â
âItâs still fun to tease.â
âConfucius, how about you come back inside and do some meditation? âYou still seem to have difficulty moving.â
âitâs okay. âThis is enough.â
âStillâ¦â
âUse it!â
ââ¦sorry.â
âI came out because it was worth moving. The work is done, so you donât have to worry so much. Also, put this under your arm and put your arm away. âItâs so stuffy that Iâm dying.â
Ma Dong-pil sighed inwardly. This was because he knew how stubborn Seoliang was.
As soon as I let go of my supporting arm, Seoyang stumbled for a moment.
But he took a moment to catch his breath and straighten himself up. Although it was difficult, there didnât seem to be much trouble moving.
âHey, Governor General.â
It was a very quick recovery for a person who was on the verge of death due to severe internal trauma. Juhwa, who was looking at Seoliang in shock, quickly got down on one knee.
âPlease kill me, Master.â
âWhat did this guy say again?â
âWe were insensitive and brought great inconvenience to Confucius. âI have committed a mortal sin.â
Seo-ryang shuddered as if he was fed up.
âWhy on earth are you asking me to kill you for causing such trouble?â
ââ¦yes?â
âStop talking nonsense and get up now. âIs it really a characteristic of mine people to make noise?â
In fact, there was no way the two could make such a big statement despite being Map Mine.
âby the way.â
Xu Liangâs face turned cold.
âWhere did you dump his body?â
Part of me wanted to cut off his limbs, subject him to all kinds of torture, and then send him to the goal.
But I felt like my body couldnât hold on any longer, so I suddenly broke my neck. Whatever the reason, I canât get caught in the act of coining again out of anger.
Ma Dong-pil said calmly.
âThey were dumped together near the red wolf carcasses. âI collected all my belongings, including my clothes, just in case.â
âokay?â
âyes.â
Xiliang looked up at the sky.
A red sunset was burning across the clear sky.
âOkay, good job.â
Ma Dong-pil cleared his throat.
At first glance, it seemed refreshing, but upon closer inspection, a somewhat bitter feeling appeared. It seemed like the screening process was complicated.
âDongpil.â
âYes, Confucius.â
âYou should never live with a grudge against someone.â
âyes?â
âThey donât tell you not to get angry, and they donât tell you not to hate them. Just let go of those feelings quickly and forget about them.â
Xi Liang kept his accusation.
âIf you live your life tightly like I did, life becomes tiring.â
ââ¦.â
âWell, you can just ignore it. âBecause you are also a very subjective person.â
âNo, Confucius. âI will engrave Confuciusâ words in my bones.â
âDamn.â
Seoyang looked around with a bright expression that he had worked hard to create.
âDid you find everything?â
âyes. And⦠they also captured a man who appeared to be a member of the group. Would you like to take a look?â
âDonât look. âMy business is done.â
âAll right. If so, can we leave right now? âI think it would be a good idea to stop by the branch and rest.â
âItâs good. âLetâs go eat some delicious food and rest on a soft bed.â
Xiliang shouted cheerfully.
âNow go backâ¦â
For a moment, his expression became blank.
Ma Dong-pil shouted loudly without even seeing Seo-ryangâs face.
âGovernor General! âI think we can leave now!â
âyes.â
âAll three groups, prepare to move! âWe will move to the branch!â
âJonmyeong!â
Surprised by the loud answer, Seoriang gasped and grabbed Ma Dongpil.
âDongpil! Dongpil!â
âyes? âDo you have anything to say?â
âNo, thatâs not it, right now Iâ¦â
Before Seoryang could finish his words, Ma Dongpilâs face hardened.
âConfucius!â
âIâve been thinking about it for a while, and it seems like I still have a little more work to doâ¦â
At that moment, Seoryangâs knees buckled.
At the same time, blood flowed from my nose. This is because I moved too much while my body was not fully healed.
âWhat the fuck?!â
Ma Dong-pil hurriedly helped Seo-ryang.
âI canât do that. âWe will move as quickly as possible.â
âCough! no! That isâ¦.â
âThere are talented lawmakers on standby at the branch all the time. âIt would be better to get examined by a doctor.â
âThis birdâ¦!â
âGovernor General! Hurry up and get ready! Confuciusâ details have deteriorated!â
Juhwa quickly responded.
âEveryone in the convoy, get on the wagon! âI will run without stopping!â
A look of urgency appeared on Seo-ryangâs face. My head was spinning and my limbs were feeling weak, but that wasnât important right now.
âI have to go to the safe house! Letâs stop by! Iâm not going! Please donât go!â
Ma Dong-pil laid Seo-ryang down in the carriage.
Xu Liangâs vision gradually darkened.
âIâm not going!!â
Rattling!
