Episode 223: Dealing with a poisonous person.
Do these two people look alike?
There was no resemblance that would have made the Poison King jump.
Because it was a momentary remark intended to turn Jindoggeosaâs attention to me.
The purpose was achieved. Jindokgeosaâs attention changed from the King of Dogs to me. Okay, deal with me.
âDonât you feel bad when you see someone who looks like you?â
The look in the Poison Kingâs eyes when he heard this was like this.
This ugly guy and me?
That question was the same for Jindokgeosa.
âWhat exactly is the resemblance?â
Even if you think about it, they probably donât look alike at all.
âTo me, they look a lot alike. Even their eyes and mood are the same. âItâs somehow rebellious and yet has depth.â
Jindokgeosa frowned. That expression said this. Are you saying something like this in this situation? Rebellious? depth? In this underground prison where people are dying?
âDidnât you look that handsome when you were young?â
Whatâs there to feel bad about looking like a good-looking person?
The problem was that he didnât believe me at all.
âCut the nonsense. âTell me why you set out to seek interest.â
Jindokgeosa blatantly revealed his will to live. If he really said nonsense, he was going to make an example of it.
âI received help in prison.â
âHow much help did you risk your life for?â
My eyes turned to the poison king.
âWhen I was fighting like a dog, that person became a dog and fought with me.â
Surprise and passion flashed across the Poison Kingâs face because he didnât know if I would give him a reason.
Fortunately, those words worked better for Jindokgeosa than other elaborate explanations.
âWhat kind of loyalty are you talking about when it comes to prisoners? âIf you act arrogantly one more time, you will disappear into a handful of blood.â
âyes! âI will be careful.â
Jindokgeosa looked at me and the King of Dogs in turn with disapproving eyes, but did not escalate the situation any further. Because each person was an important test subject.
Jindogeosa locked King Dok back in prison and then left.
I sent a message to the King of Poison.
-Thank you for your patience.
-Why did you come forward? I could have handled it myself.
-I know.
-Are you afraid that I might cause an accident?
-no.
-No!
After a moment, I spoke to him.
âI did it because I was afraid that he would endure it.
-!
The Poison King looked at me with a surprised face.
-I wonder if you will bear it. So, I think he will endure even if he gets slapped and is humiliated by that guy. The Poison King was probably patient for our plan.
The poison kingâs clear and large eyes grew even larger.
âWhat if your flattery about looking like me didnât help and that guy tried to kill you?
-Then we have to turn the table over. That guy should kill everyone here with his berserk side effects, pretend to be dead, and then leave.
-Then what about your favorite car? Youâre the type of person who stays in his lair and doesnât come out often, right?
-If you think about it, you will come up with a number.
âThe reason you took this risk is because you didnât want to see yourself suffer?
âThatâs just it? Thatâs a really important reason. Itâs such a big deal that you can throw it all away and go back.
Again, I revealed my true feelings when the look in his eyes asked if I was being flattered.
âThe proportion of sincerity is increasing among flattery and sincerity.â
The Poison King who was staring at me disappeared from the small window.
* * *
Prisoners died every day.
Each time, Jindokgeosa came to the prison to confirm their deaths and glared at the poison king before leaving. It seems that the existence of the Poison King still feels like a thorn in his eyes.
He should have trusted his instincts more. Why do those clear eyes go against my feelings so much?
However, he was tired from repeated research failures and was unable to pay attention to the sense of crisis that kept sending signals.
Rather, he was becoming addicted to light waves every day. The Poison King was reading with so much precision and outstanding skill that he was unable to recognize the fact because he usually did not use his internal energy vigorously.
When he left, the poison king asked me.
-If everything goes according to our plan, will my car show up here?
-It will definitely appear. According to Gogunâs investigation, Aecha and Jindogeosa were not on good terms with each other. If we say that the experiment was successful, they will come and check it out in person.
-Based on the trend so far, a conclusion will be reached within approximately 10 days.
The end was now in sight.
* * *
For ten days, I concentrated only on the Cheonma Defense God Technique.
On the contrary, when the surroundings are chaotic, we often show unexpected concentration. I did that. In this narrow and harsh prison where prisoners die every day, I focused more on my training than ever before.
And finally, progress was made in the Cheonma Self-defense Gong.
It was the result of a combination of the changes in my body due to the recent increase in internal energy and the training here. Slowly, but step by step, the Heavenly Demon Tiger was moving towards Daeseong.
After going up a level, the Cheonma Defense God Gong was definitely different from before. It reacted more quickly and sensitively to crises and made me feel more connected to myself.
Meanwhile, the prisoner died.
If you listen to the stories shared by the drones who come and go to the prison to feed them, they say that if they fail this time, they plan to continue the experiment even if it means kidnapping ordinary drones.
These people did not care about peopleâs lives at all if it was for their own purposes. No, they were people who had no regard for other peopleâs lives in the first place.
These are absolute evil. In a place like this, experts like Jindokgeosa and Aecha secretly conduct experiments, so how can anyone stop them?
âMy magic is to prevent such evil deeds.
And for the first time since I mentioned this, I was asked a question about the next generation.
The Poison King asked me.
-What about after you die? Will the next Heavenly Demon be able to protect the magic path? I wonder if there will ever be another person like you.
âWhy do I worry about what happens after I die? The rest will take care of it.
âAfter going through so much trouble to build a new magic island, wouldnât it be a shame if future generations ruined it?
Yes, it could be ruined. But I think thatâs something I canât do anything about. No, I thought it was right not to get involved in the first place.
âBut how can you say that you are giving orders to future generations? Would you like to hear me ask you a favor? Just watch our lives and if it looks cool, youâll follow it. If it doesnât look good, youâll change it.
Just like I did.
* * *
As the poison king expected, on the tenth day all the prisoners who came here died.
Now the only people left were Geommugeuk and Poison King.
Food continued to be provided for several days afterward, and of course the two people did not die.
Again a few days later.
The moment the two had been waiting for has come.
Finally, Ae-cha and Jin Dok-geosa came to the underground prison. Aecha, who had been hiding in his den, appeared for the first time.
âDid you really succeed?â
âexactly! See for yourself. Two successful combinations were found. âWe just need to do more research and create a more stable mixture.â
âLetâs see!â
Aecha looked inside through the hole in the iron door of the prison where Sword Dance and the Poison King were.
His happy eyes became snake eyes.
âYou are both so young. Doesnât this only work for young people?â
At that moment, Jindogeosa almost cursed. Itâs like this every time, but I never thought Iâd do this shit, at least until today.
âArenât you ignoring me too much?â
A cold wind blew between the two.
âI just did it, so thereâs no need to criticize me.â
After saying something obnoxious, Aecha looked back and forth at Geommugeuk and the Poison King in the prison.
âNo matter how you look at it, you look too young?â
At that time, Aechaâs heart started pounding. His sense of crisis worked furiously. what? What is this ominous thing?
Like a Taoist (èłç„) changing cards in front of a Taoist Demon (èłéŹŒ), the extreme meaning of the Poison Kingâs martial arts was displayed in the presence of the best Dokgong master of the four factions. One small hole was enough.
â!â
At that moment, Aechaâs expression hardened. He smiled and approached Jindogeosa.
âThank you for your hard work!â
The moment I got closer.
Hiss!
Aecha drew his sword as quickly as a thunderbolt and stabbed Jindogeosa in the arm.
Jindokgeosa was helplessly defeated by this surprise attack.
The moment Jindokgeosa was about to reflexively spray poison, Aecha was one step ahead and suppressed his demonic blood.
âAre you crazy?â
At Jindogeosaâs cry, Aecha grabbed his neck.
âWhat are you? âDid you take the photopolymer?â
Jindokgeosa thought that Aecha was going crazy with anger. Otherwise, there would be no reason to suddenly try to kill oneself.
We cannot say that the experiment was successful. Because only he knew how to create a berserk in preparation for something like this. I didnât even write it down anywhere. It was only in his head. I know that, but there is no reason to kill myself.
âCancellation! âCancel the contract!â
The car suddenly vomited blood.
His face had turned black. Only then did Jindogeosa realize that he was addicted. He misunderstood that he had poisoned him and attacked him.
âYou bastard! âI knew you would betray me like this someday!â
âNot me! âNo!â
If the two people had always been on good terms, they would have looked around more calmly. However, since they were not on good terms with each other like enemies, all he could think about was that the other person was trying to kill him.
At that time, Aecha and Jindogeosaâs subordinates, who had been waiting outside, rushed in.
âIs there a problem?â
âJin Dok betrayed! âKill them all!â
Aechaâs subordinates drew their swords and stabbed Jindogeosaâs subordinates to death. Surprised by the fact that it happened so quickly and the news that their leader had betrayed him, Jindokgeosaâs subordinates immediately sprayed poison and were unable to fight back.
They all died, and Aechaâs men fell down one after another while running toward Aecha.
Aecha thought that Jindogeosaâs subordinates had used poison, but in fact, Geommugeuk had blown up the earth wind, suppressed their blood transfusion, and put them to sleep. They were the best witnesses to this situation.
Both Hadok and the push for blood transfusion were done through a small window inside the prison without being seen.
Aechaâs eyes returned to the sight of his subordinates falling.
âYou traitorous bastard! âCancel the contract before I kill you!â
Aecha grabbed Jindogeosaâs neck even more tightly. If I applied a little more force, it would break. Jindogeosa told him as he gasped because he could not breathe.
âIf I really tried to kill you, you would already be dead.â
Because that was true, the car was confused for a moment. So, if they had tried to kill him, they would have killed him instantly with a stronger poison, right? A counterattack like this wouldnât have been allowed.
It was right then.
Slurp.
The key that was worn at the side of Jindogeosaâs subordinate, who had fallen, floated into the air.
Jindokgeosa, who saw this first, opened his eyes wide.
A key flew through the air and opened the poison kingâs iron door.
Slam!
Surprised by the sound, the car also looked in that direction.
The key flew through the air again and opened the iron door of the sword dance.
At the sound of the clanging sound, Aecha and Jindogeosaâs hearts sank.
As the door opened, Geomgeuk and Poison King walked out of the prison.
The car was dazed for a moment. Are you seeing useless things because of the poison?
Sword Dance and Poison King walked towards the two people side by side.
It was Jindokgeosa who first grasped the situation.
âKill! âThis is what the authors did!â
Aecha came to his senses for a moment and swung his sword at Geommugeuk.
How could an attack that would not have worked even if it had been planned and surprised would work now? Aechaâs sword pierced the air in vain, and the sword dance that penetrated into Yeomwangbo suppressed Aechaâs demonic blood.
Aecha looked at the sword dance with a surprised face. I finally realized it. Even if something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. It wasnât about overpowering Jindogeosa and stabbing him in the arm.
The Poison King walked over with great strides and opened the poison pouch on Jindogeosaâs waist. At that moment, Jindogeosa was inwardly delighted.
Are you tampering with my poison pouch? Yes, hurry up!
Of course you will die. If you can touch it carelessly, what kind of poisonous bag can it be?
However, the opponent handled the poison more skillfully than he did.
Riding a gust of wind, the poison of Jindogeosa flew towards Aechaâs face.
âno!â
The sad cry of the car soon turned into a terrible scream.
âAaaahhh!â
Since it is a Dokmun poison that only he uses, killing Ae-cha would be a Jindoggeosa.
So what kills Jindogeosa?
The hand holding the sword moved on its own by an invisible force.
Sigh!
It was lodged in Jindokgosaâs chest.
âAaaahhh!â
âUuuuuuuuuck!â
The two people let out horrendous screams at the same time.
Geommugeuk went and stabbed Jindogeosa under his eyes with his finger and flicked his nose.
Blood started flowing from his nose and eyes. Since his body already contains a sufficient amount of light poisoned by the Poison King, the side effects of the light poison will cause Jindokgeosa to go wild, and in the end, it will be concluded that the two people planned a double battle.
ââŠwhy?â
King Dok gave a short answer to Jindo Geosaâs difficult question.
âThey make medicine like shit.â
Geommugeuk didnât add anything to it. What I didnât say was that your medicine led to stabbings and several innocent deaths, and that the child who lost his family was left alone. Because it was meaningless to him. Because those were words that wouldnât even scratch his conscience.
However, to him who was full of pride, the poison kingâs words must have been very hurtful.
This time, Aecha, whose face had been half-melted by the poison, asked Geommugeuk with difficulty.
ââŠWho are you? you?â
Geommugeuk stared at him quietly and spoke softly.
âHe is the broad and I am the black and white.â
They named the two representative drugs they sell.
I wanted to say something, but my carâs life ended there. Just half a year ago, he would never have imagined that his life would end in such vain.
Watching Aechaâs head fall, Jindogeosa said to King Dok.
ââŠI have something to say.â
The Poison King came closer to him.
Jindokgeosa bit his cheek and spit out blood. It was blood mixed with extreme poison.
Sigh!
The King of Poison spread out a non-stop line and blocked it.
Blood flowed down the fan. In addition to the blood of Jindokgeosa, there were many traces of battles left on the fan. The Poison King seemed to leave the traces as they were, without removing or replacing them.
âA third-rate poison doesnât work.â
Jindokgeosa, who had been thoroughly fooled until the very end, trembled in pain and shame, then quickly lowered his head.
Geommugeuk looked down at the two dead people in silence. It does not only mean killing one of Yayulhanâs four subordinates.
It was a moment that saved many lives that would otherwise die in the future, and it was a moment of revenge for the boy who lost his mother and younger brother. I was able to go to Seo Dae-ryong and talk to him. Go back and tell the boy. Your revenge has been achieved. They say that no evil will work in front of our school. So now, at least you can live happily. Their deaths contain such meaning.
Geommugeuk bowed his head respectfully to the Poison King.
âThank you for your hard work.â
I had a really hard time in this narrow and stuffy place. Although he himself said that he trained all his spare time, Dokwang, who lived in the nature of Cheondogrim, must have been really frustrated.
âIn the first place, dealing with a poisoner is this difficult and dirty.â
âI liked it. âWith the Poison King.â
âStop poisoning. Itâs already enough.â
âyes?â
The Poison King walked out first, leaving behind a sword dance performance that seemed incomprehensible.
Just before leaving the place, Geommugeuk blew an earth wind and freed the blood transfusions of the subordinates who had been put to sleep earlier.
After a while, the two people disappeared from there without a sound as they heard an uproar in the back telling the superiors that Jindogeosa had gone crazy and betrayed them.
