Absolute Regression Chapter 619

Episode 619 Why did you make it without our permission?

Mabul was running towards Infinity.
When he heard the information sent from Tongcheon Pavilion, he decided that he had to go.

Hanwolgaek and Byeoksan Sword.

They were not easy opponents for the Grand Duke to handle. Ma-bul knew very well that the Han-Wol-Gak’s resentment against the school was as deep as the ocean.

Then someone shouted from far behind.

“Just a momenthhhhh.”

Ma-Bul stopped his lightness technique at the sound of a familiar voice that came on the wind.

Easy, easy.

The person who ran down from behind as fast as light was Geommugeuk.

“How fast is someone with such short legs?”
“You became the temporary leader, and now you’re openly making personal attacks.”
“You’ve become arrogant after sitting on the throne. Kneel down, everyone!”

Although the conversation was full of negative words, the expressions on the two people’s faces as they looked at each other were bright.

“What’s going on?”
“I gave you an order, so I have to say hello.”
“You didn’t chase me away because I didn’t even say hello to the temporary leader?”
“As expected! You know all too well about the nature of power! No matter how much you carve a stone statue, Mabul-nim is the very embodiment of lust for power.”

Ma-bul snorted. He felt that Geommu-geuk was deliberately provoking him. Just like the saying that even if you carve a stone statue, you should carve it in order to sell it, it was telling him to go back to the old days when he was trying to seize power again. Vividly, don’t let it sink.

“I came because I have a favor to ask.”

The Black Magic Sword’s handle was wrapped around the Extreme Heavenly Cloth. It was shared with both the Extreme Evil Soma and the Drunken Horse, and now it was passed on to a new person.

“Please put this on my brother’s heart.”

Mabul accepted the Geukpumcheonjamsa. At first, he did not believe it. He heard Geommugeuk say that he would fight for the successor while saving his brother. But now he believes it.

Yes, maybe even then, something like this might have been wrapped around the Archduke’s heart. Something invisible, but something stronger than what he was holding in his hand right now, something that protected his heart.

Mabul’s gaze turned to the Black Magic Sword. The handle still had the Ultimate Heavenly Sword left on it.
Looking at it, Mabul blurted out.

“I am?”

Geommugeuk laughed out loud as if he had heard it as a joke.
But Mabul did not laugh.

“Is the Grand Duke’s heart the only heart?”
“You don’t need this, Ma-bul-nim?”
“I’m also a person who bleeds when I get stabbed by a sword. Do you think that instead of blood, gold dust will pour out?”
“It’s not cool for a Ma-zon to be wrapped in something like this.”
“Have you ever given another Ma-zon?”
“…….”
“I thought so. You don’t want to give it to me.”

In the end, he pretended not to be able to win and gave the rest to him.

“Why are you taking it if you’re not going to use it?”
“You’re going to use it.”
“I will never use it, Ma-Bul-nim!”
“You’ll know when you see it.”

If I had said from the beginning, “Give half to Hyung and half to Ma-Bul,” Ma-Bul would have clearly said he didn’t need it.

That’s why he deliberately carried out the frog operation. It was unknown whether Mabul had guessed his intention and pretended not to know about it.

Mabul said while looking at the Hyuknang that Geommugeuk was carrying on his back.

“I think you brought that for me too. Give it to me.”

How quick-witted you are. What you had in your bag were three sets of protective gear brought from Cheonma Bogo. One of them was a small protective gear for Mabul.

“Why three sets?”
“If we ever meet, please give me the Poison King as well.”

Ma-bul said, staring at the sword dance. With a look in his eyes that said, “There’s no way you wouldn’t know that.”

“He won’t wear it.”
“Yes, he’ll say no.”
“But why?”
“If someone saw it, they’d think I sent you Mabulnim because I’m close with my brother, but that’s not why I asked you.”
“Then why?”

The true value of Ma-Bul as thought by Geommu-Geuk.

“To make the impossible possible. You do it better than anyone else.”

Ma-bul, who had been watching the sword dance for a while, slowly began to wrap the Extreme Heavenly Cloth around both of his wrists.

“You’re not sending me because of your brother, are you? You’re not sending me to put armor on the Poison King either.”

He had a clear understanding of the intention of the sword dance.

“Are you telling me to stop that Poison King?”

Instead of answering, Geommu-geuk smiled positively.
If Hanwol-gaek, who holds a grudge against Cheonmasingyo, goes crazy and runs wild, the Poison King will eventually have to step forward.
If he lets his guard down because of his innocent appearance like that pretty boy and starts talking nonsense, the principles that everyone must follow will be broken.

The principle is not to make the king angry.

Because if things had gone badly, it was a situation where war could have broken out.

“Only you, Ma-Bul-nim, can stop the Poison King.”
“Why should I?”

I was expecting some grand reason.

“Isn’t your Mabulnim the king of collecting poisonous plants?”

Mabul laughed for an unexpected reason.
The playfulness disappeared from Geommugeuk’s face. He bowed his head respectfully.

“I’m sorry to ask you to do such a difficult task.”

Ma-bul, who had wrapped himself in the finest silk, carried the Hyeok-nang on his back. Ma-bul, who was small in stature, carried it so that it covered his entire body.

“Now that you’re a cult leader, you’re being given a burden.”
“It’s a burden that only a small giant can carry.”
“If you can’t speak.”

Mabul turned around and started running again.
Geommugeuk stood there and watched until he completely disappeared. To be honest, it was harder to watch than to go out and fight.

But even if you can’t sleep because of anxiety, you have to watch when you watch. Just like a parent’s heart towards their child, when we stand alone like that, we will grow. The other person, and even ourselves who watched.

The sword dance turned in the opposite direction from where he disappeared.

“Then should I go read the book I started reading?”

In a flash, the new form of the sword dance turned into a dot and disappeared.

The carriage carrying the group of Geommuyang slowly passed through the central street of Infinite.
Disguised as construction workers, they sat in the cargo compartment of the old carriage and looked out over the surrounding streets.

The middle-aged warrior walking briskly with a long sword on his back and the hem of his robe fluttering, the old man sitting in a tavern and sharing a drink while stroking his white beard, the young warriors standing around laughing and chatting as if something was so good, the warriors of the Murim Alliance passing by in uniform with fierce eyes—in their eyes, everyone was a Jeongpa person.

In the distance, the magnificent buildings of the headquarters of the Murim Alliance and the huge stone statues symbolizing the knights could be seen.

Although he didn’t show it on the outside when his name was called, he was nervous inside.
He had only heard about it, but this was his first time actually coming to the front of the Murim Alliance headquarters. And that wasn’t all. The subordinates who came with him were the same.

It wasn’t just people.
The numerous sects, big and small, that you could see along the way were all sects that followed the Martial Arts Alliance.
If a fight broke out, sect warriors would pour out from all directions.
They were literally passing through Yongdamhohyeol.

The place we arrived at was a market.
It wasn’t a remote and secluded place, but a little off the main street. There were other houses next to it, and if we walked a little further, we would reach the main street we had just passed.
It was a place where the magnificent buildings of the main headquarters of the Murim Alliance could be seen even bigger. It was literally the chin of the Murim Alliance.

Everyone got off the carriage and entered the manor. Upon entering, the manor building was in ruins here and there. It was as if workers had been called in to do some repair work.

“Come in!”

The person who welcomed them was the owner of this place.

“I plan to give this place a nice makeover.”

At the same time, he was a warrior who came out of Tongcheon Pavilion.

“Okay, let’s go in and rest today and start work tomorrow.”

Tongcheon-gak bought this manor and pretended to build a new extension. This was to prevent Geommu-yang and Jidan-mu-in, who arrived in Muhan disguised as laborers, from being suspected.
Tongcheon-gak spared no effort in providing Geommu-yang with any support.

As the gate to the manor closed, the Zidane soldiers looked around. Beyond the fence and up to the roof. After confirming that no one was watching, they took out the swords and protective armor hidden in the carriage floor and entered the building.

As we entered the building, a middle-aged man finally introduced himself.

“I am Hwain from Tongcheon-gak. It is an honor to serve such a precious person.”

Originally, the unmanned personnel belonging to Tongcheon-gak would reveal themselves by their operation name, but this time they revealed their real names. Although they were defeated in the fight for succession, their opponent was Cheonma’s blood relative. That’s why he personally stepped forward to take responsibility for Infinite.

“Please take care of me.”

As Geommuyang gave a brief greeting, Jidanju’s name was called out.

“You lost track of Kwak Young?”

Then an unexpected answer came out.

“no.”

Everyone, including the people who called out their names and the other drones, were surprised at the word “no.”

“Kwak Young returned to the iron cell this morning.”

The expression on Geommuyang’s face hardened slightly as he listened. It was a situation where he had to find her and like her.
But he was concerned that she had returned on the day he had entered Infinite.
Homyeong had similar feelings.

“It could be a trap.”

Geommuyang nodded at his words.

“Maybe so.”

But even if it was a trap, it was impossible to retreat.
That wasn’t the only news I was waiting for.

“There’s something you need to know. Hanwolgaek is currently in Muhan.”

Geommuyang was startled by the word ‘Hanwolgaek.’ Before he could respond, he received more bad news.

“And the Byuksan Sword will arrive soon.”

Ho-myeong quickly asked Hwa-in.

“Are you here because of our recent operation?”
“I’m checking it out now.”

Kwak Yeong returned on his own two feet, and two famous masters from the Jeongpa came here?
The dragon’s rage was boiling and boiling, and the sound of a hungry tiger’s roar could be heard from the hole.

Ho-myeong looked back at Geommu-yang. Even if they had come because of him, Geommu-yang knew that he was not the type of person to be scared and turn back.
Indeed, Geommu-yang calmly asked Hwa-in.

“Where is Kwak Young’s house?”
“He has a residence in the inner courtyard of the Murim Alliance.”

Since he was a master of ironworks, it seems he was specially given a place to live in the inner garden.
If it was the inner garden and not the outer garden? It was almost impossible to get in.

“There is a shop that Kwak Yeong often visits. He stops by there to have tea after work.”
“Where is that?”
“It is a shop called Hyang Hyang in the market.”

What Huain had prepared was not just information. He opened the closet. It was filled with various kinds of martial arts uniforms.

“You can’t wear the uniform with that outfit, so wear this. These are the most common uniforms you see here in Infinite.”

It also gave him a new identity.

“If you ever need to reveal your identity, say that you are a disciple of Sunggeommun, a sect of Jeongpa in Honam.”

Sunggeommun was also a disguised sect of Cheonmasingyo.

“The disciples of Sunggeommun have come here to see the headquarters of the Murim Alliance with their great master.”

Hwain brought a piece of paper with their names written on it and told everyone their names. If someone checked with Sunggeommun, they would hear that they had gone to see the main office of the Murim Alliance.

“Thank you for your concern.”

Everyone started changing into their military uniforms.

“Make sure to wear all your protective gear, even your armor, inside your clothes.”

Ho-Myeong, who had gathered his men, was concerned that only Geommu-Yang did not have a protective gear.
However, he could not give him the one he was wearing. He could not give the protective gear that was provided to ordinary soldiers to the Grand Duke. Since his martial arts skills were so strong, he thought it was okay, but he wanted to give him something better.

After a while, they quietly slipped out through the back door of the manor.

The blacksmith was drinking tea alone in the incense burner.
The rest of the warriors were scattered around the tavern across the street, along the road, in the alley, and in the building next door, watching the surroundings. I don’t know how carefully they took their places one by one.

Actually, today was more like reconnaissance. I wondered if I would be able to meet her on the first day.

-It’s her!

When I raised my head at the sound of my name, a woman was entering the room.
There was a large burn mark on the back of her hand. I couldn’t recognize her. She didn’t even think about covering up the scar, and had rolled up her sleeves.

She proudly showed her wounds, and just as I had heard, she had a pretty face and a beautiful body.

Kwak Young, who had come into the room like that, looked around the room to see where to sit.
At that moment, his eyes met with Geommuyang’s.
Then, Kwak Young smiled and slightly lowered his head.

Geommuyang couldn’t tell. Was she smiling because she knew it was her, or was she greeting him when their eyes met by chance?
Either way, one thing was unexpected. Her atmosphere was brighter than he had expected.

At that moment, a call was sent from outside to Geommuyang.

-There doesn’t seem to be any stalking or ambush.

The swordsmanship was raised and the energy was checked, but no special danger was detected, including among the guests inside.

‘You really came here to drink tea alone?’

Then, all that was left was to subdue her and take her out. Outside, a carriage was prepared to take her.
However, Geommuyang was cautious. Things were going too smoothly, so she was even more cautious.

Kwak Yeong was drinking tea and looking at the people walking by outside. His eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something.
Then, a group of men passing by saw her and bowed.
She greeted them with a bright voice and waved her hand. Judging from the muscular body of each man, they must have been working in the ironworks.

When she turned her head back to drink tea after looking outside, Geommuyang was already sitting across from her.
It was a surprising situation, but she calmly asked.

“Why are you sitting down without asking permission?”

On the other hand, Geommuyang came out strong.

“Then why did you make it without our permission?”

From the first words, it was a statement revealing her identity, and a statement questioning her.
If she screamed or tried to run away, the demon blood and blood would be subdued before she could even try.

But Gwak Yeong showed an unexpected reaction.
She leaned forward and approached Geommuyang’s face, then spoke with great confidence.

“Are you an idiot? Who gives you permission to make fakes?”
