Inheriting the Throne of the Underworld - Chapter 297
Only Ranovel
Chapter 83 On the throne you forever (4)
“Why are you here?”
I frowned as I looked at Jumong standing in front of me.
As I concentrated on my business, I could clearly feel the cold air in the blazing fire.
Even without the legend of Habaek, water as deep as the deep sea still flowed through him.
“well.”
In response to my question, he crossed his arms and tilted his head slyly.
“I didn’t come because I wanted to either.”
The answer I received made even more sense and made me frown.
I didn’t come here because I wanted to be in a place surrounded by all kinds of pilgrims and gurus.
Even though I frowned at his shameless reaction, he just shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly.
Grumble!
Grumble!
At that time, red birds flew in from all directions, flapping their feathers.
To be exact, they were fireballs that pounced with their wings wide open like living birds.
It was when I held my sword one step too late as the fierce fire was attacking my eyes.
Sigh!
A blue nova flashed, and a wall of water swept over the flame birds like waves.
The rising waves crumbled into white foam and sparks flew like feathers.
Jumong, who had extinguished all the birds at once, looked at me and rolled his eyes.
“Look at this. “I told you before that I would teach you how to use water.”
He chuckled and playfully drew a broken heart with water droplets on his fingertips.
“It would have been good to have learned it in advance.”
“… … .”
It looked as light as before.
Still, I looked at him again, feeling an inexplicable sense of discomfort.
Eokgyeong still couldn’t read his intentions accurately.
However, I could tell that he was different from before.
“Aren’t you here to help Jeoktapju?”
I asked him with an inexplicable sense of discomfort.
The Taoists I have faced so far were those who joined forces with the Red Tower Master to fight against me.
However, when I met him in the center of the Red Tower, he took out with his own hands the design of the Red Tower that threatened me.
It was an action that left me unable to figure out what he was thinking.
“Yeah, I thought that was going to happen.”
It was the moment when he smiled narrowly again at my question.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Once again, fireworks flew in from all directions.
It was a much larger and more numerous attack than the birds taken out first.
In an instant, my vision burned red and a fire that burned my skin covered my whole body.
Sigh!
Just before the enormous fire engulfed me like a snake with its mouth open.
The blue waves rose again and again, dividing the space between me and Jumong.
Paaaaaaaa!
The water and fire collided, sending steam and sparks flying here and there.
The two conflicting novae mixed and flashed like red and blue paint.
At some point, the fireworks shattered and the soaring waves flowed down with foam like a waterfall.
“… … “I guess it wasn’t even that.”
Jumong’s voice was faintly mixed in the white, collapsing foam.
It was a murmur that I would not have heard if I had not had experience.
“Can I help you, Your Majesty?”
The moment when the flames and waves that had hung like a wall completely disappeared.
The curtain cleared and he made eye contact as if making eye contact with an actor, and asked in a whisper.
“Aren’t you going to Doyoung? “It would be difficult to find it without me.”
“… … .”
I didn’t answer his question and just focused on my surroundings.
It was a distorted space filled with black swirls, just like the floor we saw earlier.
It was difficult for me to continue the mythology battle by myself, as there were no victory conditions or enemy tower holders and I could not read cause and effect.
In such a situation, it would be of great help if Jumong could find a way to reach Jeoktapju, so it was definitely a welcome offer.
That’s why.
“… … no.”
I responded by taking a step away from him.
“You don’t have to help.”
It was because Jumong was so necessary in the current situation.
I clearly shook my head at him, who seemed to have appeared just for me at this moment.
“… … .”
At my answer, he looked at me for a moment.
Then, he cupped the corner of my mouth at the end.
A giggling sound escaped through the cracks in my hands as if the wind had been knocked out.
“Hey, are you being stubborn again?”
It was a light tone, like when the heavens asked me for help.
“You really need my help right now, don’t you?”
Above the hand covering his mouth, his deep black eyes looked at me without wavering.
His motionless eyes looked like dots drawn with ink rather than the eyes of a living human being.
“Even so… … .”
I made eye contact with him and opened my mouth like a sigh.
“There’s no reason to help me if you don’t want to.”
A sense of incongruity, or a sense of homogeneity… … No, I said that with feelings that cannot be accurately defined in any words.
“Don’t do anything you don’t want to do.”
Jumong looked at me quietly at the stubborn words.
Even though his eyes were wide and smiling, his mouth was closed, and he seemed like a stranger who came to me in a form I knew.
Even the energy of the cold water rushing through the sky like winter waves was like that.
“… … You know, your majesty.”
After a long silence, he opened his mouth again.
“That kind of moment always comes to us.”
I trembled slightly at the sight that seemed to seep into his voice.
“Oh, I guess I just have to do it.”
At some point, the universe shook behind him as he looked at me and whispered.
It was a pitch-black universe that I saw when I decided to cut down the Cheongtapju.
Karma was conveying to me what was reflected in his eyes.
“It’s kind of a trigger. Once you realize it, there is no turning back. “My heart has already moved.”
I saw countless lines tangled like a spider web between Jumong and me.
“I still don’t know what came first. “If you make up your mind and make up your mind, then it’s already too late.”
I understood it without further explanation.
That scene came from me, not him.
The words, “If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it,” actually gave him the will to do it.
“No, no. “I know the truth.”
He, who had been tied to a rope and stopped, slowly moved his body.
“I know you’re afraid.”
The moment Jumong turned his back on me, the universe that Eokgyeong had illuminated also disappeared as if it were extinguished.
However, even though the rope that tied me to him was completely gone, I let out a breath as if I was tied up.
He knew he was just moving as much as the line would allow.
“you are… … .”
I looked at his back that was not tied to the rope and opened my mouth.
“You thought that your will was the will of the universe.”
I now clearly understand what the sense of discomfort I felt from him was.
The man who believed that his will was the will of the universe and did whatever he wanted, now became afraid of his own heart.
Grumble!
Before he could reply, fireworks flew in from all directions, shedding bright red sparks.
Grumble!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The birds, which became bigger and hotter, filled the space like they were spraying red-hot molten metal.
“Do you know that, Your Majesty?”
Sigh!
A wall of water rose like a tsunami and covered the firebirds, instantly blocking their view with white vapor.
“They say Suzaku is the king of all birds.”
Jumong, who extinguished the fireworks once again, looked at me with a grin.
“Doyoung’s first magic trick was to create a bird with fire and fly it. “When I was four years old, the adults around me told me that I was good at something and that I was a genius, and they made me burn my hair because of that.”
Chuckling, he pointed to his hair with his fingertip.
“Isn’t it fun to see things like that? “There are times when people seem to know what they are doing.”
That was when he said so.
Tsutsutsu!
Dark red letters suddenly appeared in the space where the black swirls were swirling.
The letters that filled the space soon began to pile up like bricks.
As if trying to read the cause and effect that the dark red text was trying to complete, Jumong also immediately read the text.
“I guess I’m calling the gatekeeper.”
He said, scanning the dark red letters with his deep, dark eyes.
“Those birds were actually more of a by-product. “It’s so sacred that I have to create something.”
Coooooo!
The space shook greatly as he continued his explanation.
The dark red letters that had been piled up in layers began to melt and clump together like paint.
A bright red flame was suddenly burning in the massive mass that was being stretched.
“So the guy coming this time is real.”
Jumong raised the blue divinity towards the shape that was gradually becoming complete.
“If you kill this guy, the door to the basement where Doyoung is will open.”
“I’m going to take her down now.”
I couldn’t listen to his explanation any further and spoke up.
While he was casually talking about his childhood memories, he reaffirmed that he was going to cut down his younger sister right now.
“And you still want to help me?”
“Well, if you committed a crime, you should be punished.”
Despite my question, he just shrugged his shoulders casually.
“Normally, when you dig someone else’s grave, you also dig your own grave next to it. “If Do-hyuk had planned to frame him and throw him out, he should have been prepared to be scolded by the fearsome King of Hell, who was standing behind him.”
I asked in frustration at his attitude as if he was really talking to someone else.
“I guess you also helped make that happen?”
“That, um… … .”
Wasn’t Dangun’s downfall visible as he took the fourth punishment?
When I pointed that out, he shrugged his shoulders with an impudent look on his face.
“Anyway, it wasn’t my fault.”
Strangely enough, Eokgyeong said that this was the truth.
In the end, I didn’t question him further and turned my head away from Jumong.
The fact that he wasn’t telling me anything no longer mattered.
Because I now know that it is meaningless to say that you don’t have to do something if you don’t want to.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The gatekeeper of the red pagoda that was finally completed lit up a bright red flame.
“Oh, what is this?”
Jumong looked back and sneered as if he was concentrating on the battle.
“A giant with nine heads. Doyoung is also underground, so he created an enemy of the underground country?”
As he said, the gatekeeper looked like a giant with nine heads.
It was a law modeled after the story of the enemy of the vicious underground nation who came to earth with divine powers to steal treasures and kidnap people.
-Grrr.
The enemy of the Underground Kingdom shined his bright eyes at us.
Nine small cubes were felt in the giant’s nine heads.
It seemed like a law that could be designed like the bier dealers I had encountered before.
“for a moment… … .”
However, as I was looking at the enemy of the underground country, I suddenly made an impression.
“hell… … ?”
This is because, unexpectedly, I felt an energy other than Suzaku’s fire from the enemy.
“Did the Red Tower lord also steal the power of the King of Hell?”
One of the powers of hell that could not be regained resided in the enemy of the Underground State.
[ (!) Saebeddeunggeumryulhehehe lawbeopbelbaemttaheui applied bellyoddunggwiryong clearly. ]
[ (!) There are a lot of rules in ‘Reverse Bell Meot Ril Heul (??) 5’. ]
Immediately then, a pop-up window appeared saying that the new rule had been completed.
“So quickly… … ?”
“Wow, this must be a lot better than most designers, right?”
I was surprised at the speed, which was much faster than expected, and Jumong also expressed his surprise.
“I’m glad my aunt and uncle didn’t see that. is not it? On the contrary, if you had seen that, you would have both felt sick to your stomach without your Majesty having to go to any trouble.”
“… … .”
It was a natural insult to the deceased.
“It was worth having it even if it meant making a bunch of idiots.”
Jumong’s smile as he said that was very refreshing, but it seemed as if he had deliberately hidden it, and there was nothing conveyed from the business world.
