I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 56

Episode 56: Cliff Wind

Wheeing-!

The cold night wind blew and the chill slowly awakened my senses.

After deciding on the duty schedule in groups of three, the assassination squad went to sleep in the cave.

“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”

But today, for some reason, most people spent their time outside the cave.

Thinking about what I would have to go through to get to the top, I had to force myself to sleep, but my eyes were swollen and I was busy trying to soothe my bitter stomach.

“f*ck… … . They say it’s a small-sized ghost, but it really is a poisonous species. How can you eat ten of them by yourself?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. There’s still a bad smell in my mouth… Ugh.”

A special meal riot broke out at Inmyeonsa Temple, and the assassins chewed on Inmyeonsa Temple while holding their noses tightly.

I thought that just blocking my nose would be enough. But the real problem was the taste.

The moment I chewed, a foul smell worse than maggots and rotten fish filled my mouth.

‘Kiyooooooo!’

Starting with the scream of the single peak, the aftermath of the storm was tremendous. Vomit poured out like a fountain throughout the cave, and the slaughter team rolled around on the floor. If they even made eye contact with the Inmyeonsa, they greeted each other roughly.

It was a total disaster.

But the more that happened, Ma Cheon So swallowed ten of them with his haggard eyes smiling brightly. His appearance was like that of an evil spirit.

At this, Dan Shi-gang’s eyes turned red and he spat out curses telling them to hurry up and eat, while Dan Ji-ho and Dan Tae-yong silently stuffed it into their mouths.

Danbong was originally not in his right mind, so he kept screaming and catching the fish excitedly, and even ate three of Danya’s.

Because of that, the assassins had no choice but to chew and swallow the human face while crying.

“Whew… … Are those people able to sleep over there?”

One of the crew members glanced inside the cave and muttered in disgust.

The stench from the chewed and spat out human faces still lingered in the cave.

But as expected, this time too, when Ma Cheon-so lay down peacefully and tried to sleep, an emergency situation occurred where a total of six people, including Dan Ji-ho, Dan Si-gang, Dan Tae-yong, Dan Bong, and Dan Ya-rang, fell into a deep sleep.

Because of that, a ridiculous thing happened where they came out and said they would stand guard over each other.

“But… … why do I… … the young cult leader… … look a little different to you?”

“What? Did you eat a poisonous snake and come back?”

“No, you wouldn’t know since you didn’t go to fight the Bronze Devil… … but back then, his movements were definitely not ordinary.”

“What are you saying?”

“The point is, the one left in the end was not Shigang, but that person.”

“what?”

“It’s the same with Dan-ya and that kid. It’s the same with the face mask I ate earlier. It seems a little better than I’ve heard… … .”

“That’s crazy. That’s crazy, right? Didn’t you see him burp after eating ten of those? That’s just madness. The Bronze Devil must have known that in advance and used his tricks.”

“I see. Anyway, I feel dizzy just thinking about climbing Mt. Miin on an empty stomach, so isn’t that a good thing?”

“Hey, I threw it all up and there’s nothing left. I’d rather be hungry on an empty stomach.”

“That’s true too.”

When Jo Won scratched his head, most of the others criticized him, saying that he was pathetic.

The first day passed like that, with about twenty members of the assassination squad standing guard.

* * *

“We will start climbing the rock now.”

After passing the cave and climbing for a while again, the path was blocked by fog again.

Then, Danjiho confidently spoke while tapping the cliff next to him.

When I looked up, I couldn’t even guess how high it was. Moreover, the fog in the middle was like an obstacle, so it didn’t look easy.

If you’re at the peak, you can be careful somehow, but if you’re first-class, it won’t be easy.

“It’s the perfect weather for a fall.”

Danshikang spat and grinned.

The weather is so cloudy that the sun can’t even shine.

“From now on, those who are called will tie a string around their waists.”

Danjiho first tied the string around his waist and then called out the names of some of his crew members.

They are all people who have failed to overcome the wall of climax.

Of course, to that target.

“Please tie up the young cult leader as well. I will not take responsibility even if he dies.”

“Ugh.”

I stared blankly at the string, nodded, and tied it. My turn was right after Danjiho. After that, five more people, including Danyarang, tied it.

After completing their preparations, Taeyong and Si-gang began to climb up as if they were competing with each other at the gesture of Dan-ji-ho.

Considering that they were just in their thirties, they were definitely people with great stamina.

After that, the crew members followed, and lastly, we climbed up, tied with rope to Danjiho.

Compared to those who went before, they moved like a raccoon, one step at a time.

Wheeing-!

Suddenly, a strong wind started blowing and the distance to the ground became dizzying.

Danjiho took a moment to catch his breath and spoke dismissively.

“If you find it difficult, try to keep your hands and feet away from the wall. That might help you more.”

It seems that they are worried that if they make a mistake in the middle, the rock will fall or that they will lose their balance if they use too much force.

“Yeah, well.”

As if I understood, I pulled my hands and feet away from the wall, put my hands on the back of my head, and leaned back comfortably while still being tied up.

It’s more comfortable than you think.

“… … If I had known you would listen so well, I wouldn’t have brought you to Geomdan Palace.”

Danjiho said, his veins showing due to his suddenly increased weight.

“Why? Did you want me to break up the wedding?”

“Of course. I don’t know about your highness the princess, but I absolutely cannot allow the young sect leader to do so.”

“Thank you for that. That’s what I was hoping for.”

Whoosh!

Perhaps because he had used so much force, the rock fell down in pieces. Danjiho quickly moved his arm to the side, which had lost its balance.

“Just now… …what did you say?”

“I said I would break off the engagement.”

“Are you… serious?”

“I already told the princess that. I asked for some time, so here it is.”

Looking up at Danjiho’s back, I could sense numerous worries.

“… …What is the reason?”

“She’s not right for me.”

“Are you kidding me? You have no status other than being a cult leader. How dare you… … my sister.”

“That’s why. You don’t suit me.”

Even though I told him exactly what was going on, Danjiho stopped walking and glared at me with cold eyes.

As we stared at each other, he bit his lips tightly and suddenly started to accelerate.

“That is… … not something for the young cult leader to decide. Do you understand?”

That’s why it’s here. Anyway, it’s a bipolar disorder.

“Then so be it.”

“profit……!”

I shook my head and even closed my eyes.

I am definitely engaged to a woman.

Two of them too.

The daughter of the Namgung family and the daughter of the Dan family.

But if Namgung Ye-na saw me now, she would try to kill me.

The daughter of the Namgung family and the leader of the Myunggyo sect. So, even if you go and see them, there is no way the wedding will be successful.

I just wanted to apologize. I wanted to go first and say I’m sorry. I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise.

The same goes for Dan Ye-hwa. I am not Ma Cheon-so, so I cannot marry her. So I had to meet her once and apologize politely.

‘There are just more things to apologize for. I’m destined to live alone for the rest of my life.’

I opened my eyes slightly with a bitter smile.

At that moment, a subtle energy brushed against my skin.

The sound of the wind gradually becoming sharper. It feels like an alarm ringing on my skin.

“Just one.”

“What else? Hanging from a cliff and falling asleep.”

Did you see that again?

“Hey, by any chance. Is there a cave next to that?”

I asked, pointing to one side. Then Danjiho looked at me with a puzzled look and answered.

“Where did you hear that?”

Right. Then this energy is… … .

I looked down once, then leaned back against the wall and spoke urgently.

“Jump.”

“What are you saying?”

“Run!”

“So why… … !”

Wheeing-!

The wind gradually grew stronger as if it were blowing a sail, and in an instant the robe was thrown in the opposite direction.

Danjiho also felt the crisis and muttered in complete confusion.

“Now is not the time for the cliff-breaking wind to blow… … ?”

“Is now the time to be talking about that? Can’t you see the kids down there?”

“this……!”

Wedge!

Before we knew it, the wind had turned into a sharp blade and was slashing at us.

Boom, boom!

“Ah… … Aaaah!”

From the very bottom to the end, I let go of the rock face and hung in the air relying only on the rope.

Paaaaak!

I held the string tightly and pulled it taut for fear of letting go.

“Can you hold out?”

“Ugh… … .”

Danjiho barely managed to hang on to the wall like a frog, as if it was too burdensome to answer.

The wind was so strong that just holding on was a challenge.

‘I think Danjiho can withstand it if we just lighten the weight, but the problem is… … .’

The biggest problem they faced was the crew members who had been hanging on from the beginning.

All I have to do is hold on to the string and wait for the wind to pass by… … but that’s only if the string holds up.

Thud.

The string is gradually becoming loose and looks like it might tear at any moment.

I looked up at Danjiho again. But as expected, I could barely hold on.

‘There is only one way.’

Woohoo-!

Cheonma Shingong’s strength soared in an instant, and he pulled out the sword that was twisted sideways at Danjiho’s waist.

Sling.

“Cow, cow leader… … What?!”

Danyarang, who couldn’t even open his eyes properly because of the wind, burst into shock as he looked to the side.

I raised my sword without paying any attention.

“S, you’re not… … going to abandon us? Oh, no!”

Danyarang’s empty cries were drowned out by the strong wind, and I lowered the rope.

Crunch, rustle!

“Eww!”

The crew members fly like fallen leaves over the cliff with the wind.

Danjiho is hanging alone, not knowing anything.

and.

I cut the ropes back and forth and ran through the air toward my crew members.

* * *

‘It’s the end… … .’

Danyarang had a premonition of death as she flew. With the wind so strong and she was flying down the cliff at such a fast speed, she would either crash into the cliff and turn into a blood cake, or fall to the ground and turn into dust.

“A dog like a dog!”

Even in the midst of all this, the sight of the cult leader cruelly cutting the rope was unforgettable.

Is that a person? It certainly looked like it had the staying power to endure. I cut the lifeline in half with my sword for my convenience.

Even an animal wouldn’t do something like that…

As I looked back with difficulty, I saw the executioners flying away together, tied to ropes, without knowing where, comfortably passed out.

‘I wish I had just fainted… … .’

Then I wouldn’t be afraid, but the thought of flying towards death alone made me feel despair and collapse.

‘I don’t want to die like this!’

The desire to live slowly began to creep up on him, and Danyarang kept looking around as he flew.

If there was anything to grab onto… … then I would do something about it. The cliff was already quite far away, and it was shrouded in fog so I couldn’t see anything.

‘Ahhh… … Is this really the end?’

Tears welled up in my eyes at the horror, and I closed my eyes.

‘But why doesn’t it fall?’

The strong wind seemed to have already stopped, but strangely, my body felt comfortable. When I slowly opened my eyes, I couldn’t see anything because of the thick fog, but my body felt like it was floating.

“Could it be… … Geunduun?”

Yarang suddenly thought of Journey to the West, a bizarre novel that is popular in the streets these days.

It was that bizarre.

Who would have thought that I could be floating in the fog like this?

“Could it be… … that I have gained powers? Uh… … Uh huh?”

While I was lost in my vain delusions, my body suddenly began to move as if it was being dragged.

This was different from the wind.

It felt like someone was physically pulling on the strings.

“flame……?”

At the same time, a faint, crimson flame flickered in front of me.

It was a phenomenon that I simply could not understand.

After being led like that for a while, the fog cleared again and we checked the front.

“Little… Little Leader!”

“That f*cking dog, here he comes.”

Ma Cheon-so was walking in the air, holding onto the rope and smiling.

Scattered crimson flames.

“Oh my… Oh my God.”
