Absolute Regression Chapter 666

Episode 666 Who is that person?

The general’s address was quickly running along the mountain path and leaving Muhan.

-If the black pearl breaks, I am dead.

After Hwa-Yul-Cheong went out to fight a great battle that would change his fate, the sacred water, Heuk-Joo, was broken.

I never dreamed that the leader, Hwa-Yul-Cheong, would be affected. If his identity was revealed, it would eventually be revealed that he was a subordinate.

‘Damn you cult leader!’

All of this is because of the leader of the Demonic Cult.
When I didn’t notice his presence in the hallway of the residence, when Hwa-Yul-Cheong said that the leader knew about me, that was the opportunity.

I should have advised Hwa Yul-cheong to leave Muhan first and then return after the So-gyo-ju leaves. However, the problem was that I trusted Hwa Yul-cheong’s abilities too much.

‘I will kill you!’

The name of the person was determined to take revenge on Hwarulcheong. He was determined to strongly report to the organization that the leader of the organization must be killed first.

Even as he ran along the forest path where there were few people, he looked around.
Judging from the recent situation, the surveillance net of the Murim Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Sect would be spread out like a spider web.
If the two sides were exchanging information, it would be impossible for anyone to escape Infinite. He just hoped that would not be the case.

He stopped running like that.
He saw two people digging up herbs in front of him. They had appearances that really caught his attention.
The older one was very short, and the younger one was a really handsome young man, and he had a bag of herbs on his waist.

The two people’s appearances were so striking that I flinched, but they were definitely herbalists. They
were only looking at the herbs and admiring them, without even looking at themselves.

“To find the Myunghyeolcho (冥血草) in a place like this! How amazing!”
“The infinite is truly a treasure trove of poisonous plants.”
“It’s not a treasure trove that’s open to everyone.”
“I was just lucky. Now, Cassio.”
“Is that okay?”

Does he have any taste for picking herbs? The young man smiled brightly and rejoiced when the short man gave in to the picking.

The person who was watching the scene jumped to the side and flew into the forest. They looked strange, but they looked like real herbalists.

But there was no need to confront them. If they had turned their heads and seen him, he would have killed them on the spot. He could have informed those tracking him that he had escaped this way.

But they were obsessed with picking herbs.

‘Know that it saved your lives.’

As I was taking a detour and getting out of the dense forest,
I heard a voice again.

“Here it is again!”
“This time it’s the impermanent flower!”

The free-spirited flower was as precious a poison as the blood-blooded herb.
The two were delighted, but Joo Soo-myeong’s expression was completely frozen.
He clearly came from a different direction than them. They were skilled herbalists, so they came here while fighting their way through the forest?

Just in case, Joo-soo-myeong ran back the way he came.
As he ran down a completely different path, a chill ran down his spine.
There they were again in front of him.

At this point, how can the addressee not know the situation?

‘You’re an expert!’

The true masters who couldn’t even tell that they were unmanned at first glance.
Of course, they were Dokwang and Mabul.

“Is there a need for this?”

Ma-Bul answered the King’s question while looking at Joo Soo-Myeong.

“But wouldn’t it be okay to give him a chance?”
“He seems stubborn.”

He could tell the address. He knew that the words were referring to him.
There was no need to compete in martial arts.

‘then?’

The addressee took something out of his pocket without hesitation.
What he took out and aimed at his own head was a fake secret weapon, the very same weapon that was used when Hwa-Yul-Cheong pretended to be attacked.

“There will be nothing to be found out from me.”

His hands trembled as he aimed to advance. He was scared because he thought he might die.
On the other hand, the Poison King and Ma-bul just stared blankly at him.
Ma-bul was the first to speak.

“That’s going to hurt.”

Mabul motioned for him to aim a little lower.

“The bones there are the hardest. If it doesn’t penetrate through at once and gets stuck, you’ll feel the excruciating pain of your head melting away before you die.”

The Poison King, who had been listening, added a word.

“It will hurt more if Dokdo is destroyed.”

From what the two people said, I could tell the address and name. The other person was a master of the Demonic Cult.

“You fucking demonic bastards! Do you think I’ll be scared and just give in to such bullshit threats? If you even take one step closer, I’ll pull you over!”

A brief silence passed.
Ma-bul and the Poison King paid him no attention anymore.

“When we go down, let’s go to that ridge.”

The direction that Mabul had mentioned was a place he had never been before, so the Poison King’s expression brightened.

“Okay.”

So the two people left the place.
Ju-soo-myeong, who was left alone, was confused.

‘You’ll save me? Really?’

But soon I figured out what the other person was thinking.

‘These guys! They’re following me to find out our location.’

It was a method that was so ignorant that one didn’t even know oneself.

‘You idiots! You think I’ll just turn around and go back to you?’

Also, I didn’t know much about the organization. I didn’t know where the organization was either. I just left a message for reporting.

But there was something he didn’t know.
He didn’t know his opponent, he just didn’t know enough.

His steps did not move.

‘why?’

Why isn’t my body moving?

That was the last consciousness of the living Joo Soo-myeong.

Gulp.

In an instant, his body melted away.
There was no pain, but there was no trace left either.

* * *

The carriage arrived at the residence where Geommuyang had been staying.
Gwakju got out of the carriage with a face like that. His heart pounded at the thought of finally being able to see his older sister.

Jin Ha-gun did not go inside, but sent his men to announce his arrival.

After a while, the black sheep came out.

“Why don’t you come in?”
“My role ends here.”

Jin Ha-gun did not think that he was the one who saved Gwak Ju. It was not because the Fengchun Sect Leader and the Seop Hon Ma-jon helped him.

“This person was saved by the Grand Duke.”

Jin Ha-gun knew that it would not be easy for Geommu-yang to entrust him with the task of saving Gwak-ju.
That proud man swallowed his pride and asked for the favor. The reason was that if the Demon Squad came forward, there would be a greater chance of saving this person.

It was at that very moment that this man was saved.

It’s something I wouldn’t have thought about before. But it’s changed since I met Geommu-geuk. As I try to look at people straight, I’ve come to know Geommu-yang a little more deeply.

Now I know that sometimes it can be harder to just quietly endure something than to take the lead and fight.

Geommuyang looked at the movements of Jin Hagun and the other warriors of the Destruction Corps. You could tell how hard they had fought by the blood-soaked uniforms.
What else could be said?

“Thank you. I will definitely repay you later.”

The two people looked at each other and nodded once. That was enough. This incident would change their relationship from before.

Jin Ha-gun left the place right away.
He wanted to see his grandfather soon.

When Kwak Ju went inside, his older sister Kwak Yeong was waiting there.
She was originally in the Infinite Anga of the Cheonmasingyo, but she was brought here immediately after receiving news from Jin Ha-gun that he had rescued his younger sister.

“Sister!”

He felt so emotional that he wondered if he had ever been this happy to see his older sister in his life.
Kwak Joo ran to Kwak Young.

“How disgusting, why are you like this!”

Kwak Young-yi avoided the hug. However, there was a faint smile on her face.
Kwak Ju-yi told his sister what he had decided to say when he met her.

“I’m okay. I’m fine.”

So, it’s okay, sister.

At those words, Kwak Yeong’s eyes turned red. Although she acted as if nothing had happened, you would not know how much she had worried about her younger brother. She had even given up her honor as the youngest ironsmith in the Murim Alliance to save her younger brother.

“Where are you hurt?”
“I’m okay.”
“It’s blood!”
“It’s not my blood. The Lord of Demon Destruction saved me.”

His gratitude for taking care of me until the end was something I could never forget.

“What about the Lord?”
“He went first.”

Kwak Yeong felt regretful. He should have at least expressed his gratitude to the Demon King.

This was also the reason why Jin Ha-gun left without coming in.
He told Geommu-yang to express all his gratitude. He wanted to make sure that Geommu-yang’s efforts to save her would not fade.

Kwak Young walked to Geommuyang.
She knew. It all started with her meeting with the Grand Duke.
It all started when he tracked down the fake secret code she had created.

Kwak Yeong-i bowed her head to Geommuyang.

“thank you.”

Geommuyang gave the ball to Jin Hagun, who was not present.

“You don’t need to thank me since the Demon Destruction Lord saved my younger brother.”

Kwak Yeong knew. If it weren’t for this Geommuyang, he would never have been able to save his younger brother. He himself would have been used by them and eventually met his death.

“Now, return to the Murim Alliance with your younger brother.”

At Geommuyang’s words, Gwak Yeong revealed his decision.

“I will also follow the new religion.”

Kwak Ju was surprised by his older sister’s unexpected words. On the other hand, Geommu Yang was not surprised.

“I promised you, didn’t I? I’d make a weapon for you.”

Then the blacksmith said to her.

“There’s no need for that. It’s all in the past.”
“Please let me keep my promise.”

She was already prepared.
Kwak Yeong said to Kwak Ju, who was just watching.

“Why don’t you stop it?”

At least he knew that this was a den of minders. His brother just watched.

“You always made the right choice, didn’t you?”
“Shouldn’t you follow suit?”

Even though he was told that he would join the Demonic Cult, Gwak Ju was not surprised.

“If my sister goes, I have to go too.”

I can’t send my sister alone to that dangerous place.

Kwak Young’s eyes trembled as he looked at his younger brother.

“Hey, you!”
“Yeah, thank you. Where else can you find a younger sibling like this? He doesn’t even blame his sister for being kidnapped, and he comes out and acts brave. Right?”

Kwak Joo resembled Kwak Yeong’s bright personality.
Kwak Yeong spoke to Geommuyang again.

“Please take my siblings with us. We’ll take care of our own food and shelter. Don’t be a bother.”

The black sheep gave her one last chance.

“When war breaks out, the weapons you create will kill the people you know.”

Kwak Young had already made up his mind.

“Then I guess I’ll have to go to the Demonic Cult and make a lot of acquaintances.”

At her words, Geommuyang made a dumbfounded expression.

“To be honest, I’m just looking for my way out.”

She told her honest feelings.

“I betrayed the honor of being a master craftsman and made counterfeit weapons.”
“The Murim Alliance will understand since my younger brother was kidnapped.”
“But I can never become a master craftsman of the Murim Alliance’s ironwork again.”

That would probably be the case. Even if it was because of my brother, I wouldn’t let the person who made the fake secret weapon become the artisan of the Murim Alliance’s Iron Fist.

“You can’t make weapons used by the elite of the Murim Alliance and then live off of making hoes on the street. I’m holding on to it to save myself. If you call me a selfish bitch, I’m prepared to grab hold of your trouser leg.”

Geommuyang could see that her resolve was firm.

“I might have to start from scratch.”
“No, I won’t. I’m too good for that.”

Then she smiled faintly. Next to her, Kwak Ju apologized for his sister’s shamelessness, and with that expression, he put his hands together and bowed his head.

“The iron barracks of our school would be harder for a woman to endure.”
“Haven’t you ever worked there? It’s hard there for both men and women, craftsmen and newbies. No one has the strength left to harass others.”

Geommuyang’s worries did not last long. It was a deep enough relationship that he could accept it.

“If you make a crappy weapon, I’ll get in trouble.”

After saying that, Geommuyang turned around.

“Thank you, thank you so much!”

Geommuyang entered the building without looking back.
Only then did Gwak Yeong let out a sigh. It was a sigh that was a mixture of relief at having been granted permission and anxiety about his new life.

When they were alone, Kwak Ju asked her.

“I follow it because it’s my sister’s decision.”

Kwak Ju’s gaze turned to Geommuyang.

“Who is that person that you want to follow?”

Judging from the vibe he gave off, he didn’t seem like an ordinary person.

How can I keep my little brother from getting surprised?

“If that person is…….”

As she was about to carefully explain, someone spoke from behind.

“He’s my brother.”

When Kwak Yeong and Kwak Ju turned around in surprise, Geommu-geuk was walking in.
Kwak Yeong blinked for a moment.

‘What if he’s the Archduke’s younger brother?’

Her eyes widened. She already knew that Lee Gongja was the successor of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Before she could say anything in shock, Geommu-geuk wrapped his arm around Gwakju’s shoulder and acted like a friend who was telling a lie.

“My older brother looks nice on the outside, right? But he’s got a bad temper and is full of wicked ambitions. He’s especially cruel to his younger sister. So when you go to the main school, protect your older sister from my older brother! Got it?”

After saying my words, Geommu-geuk went inside. Gwak Yeong just stood there blankly without having a chance to properly greet her.

Kwak Ju asked his older sister again.

“What’s that guy doing? He only talks about himself….”
“Shh! Be quiet! Shut up!”

My sister’s hands were trembling as she desperately covered her mouth. Who on earth could be so nervous?

“Who is it?”

Then another person appeared.

“Who is that? He’s a terrible younger brother who talks bad about his older brother behind his back.”

The person who appeared was someone who should not be scolded for talking bad about others behind their backs.
He was the leader of the Pungcheon cult.

“And that’s not all? He takes everything that’s valuable, makes his subordinates suffer, and I just sit back and watch. He’s a vicious leader. So protect your sister from him! He’s more dangerous!”

It was Kwak Ju who had personally seen how great the leader of the Fengtian Church was. He could still vividly remember the image of him riding the waves and soaring to the top.
Kwak Ju answered loudly, frozen in place.

“Yes! I will keep that in mind.”

Following the leader of the Fengchun Sect, the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Realm entered together.
Kwak Ju bowed down so that his waist touched the ground. As they entered the building, Kwak Yeong bowed down as well and asked his younger brother.

“Who is that person?”

Kwak Ju answered in a trembling voice.

“That person is…….”

Then someone else appeared.

“You’re an idiot.”

A person who caught their gaze as they bowed their heads passed by. It was none other than Mabul.

“He’s the most idiot in the world. He gave up everything he had for people and even threw away all his wealth and fame.”

It was something he could say because he was friends with the leader of the Pungcheon sect.
He walked briskly into the Mabul building.

Kwak Ju asked with a surprised expression.

“Who is that person?”

There was someone who answered that question.
Finally, the Poison King passed by them and said nonchalantly.

“They are all crazy.”

Looking at the surprised Kwak Ju, the Poison King added.

“So, you protect your sister.”

So even the Poison King entered the building.
Kwak Ju blinked and quickly summarized what had happened.

“So, to sum it up, the person that my older sister is trying to follow has a younger sibling who badmouths him behind his back. Right? But then there’s a scary master who badmouths that younger sibling. He’s the one who saved me. But then there are people who call that scary person an idiot. But these people are all crazy. Did I hear that correctly?”

As Kwak Yeong nodded, dark clouds gathered, indicating that it was going to rain again, and thunder could be heard from afar.

“Sister, where are we going?”
