Episode 384
Chamaaaa…
Chamaaaa…
Crrrrrrrrrrr!
Sothing floating in the sea with strong currents, occasionally drinking water.
Shinyu fell off the cliff and naturally surrendered himself to the sea.
‘Everything has gone awry.’
Even the crashing waves of the black sea. It was a situation that was enough to make one feel fear, but to Shinyu, who already recognized everything as an illusion, it just seed like a frozen landscape.
He ca into the dream and had his own body, sothing he had never had since death.
Before realizing that this place was a dream, Shinyu was a genius swordsman with incredible talent.
And when I realized everything and looked back, what was left behind was…
‘Pathetic.’
He appeared to be weaker than before.
I was conceited.
He thought that if he could get his body back, he would beco a swordsman who could achieve anything.
I definitely expected that to happen, but the future that unfolded was quite different.
He beca a mber of an organization called Faces and committed murder like a machine.
The drugs he constantly took for brainwashing and physical strength made his body unable to survive without them.
‘Bro… what should I do in tis like this?’
Suddenly, I missed my third brother, Xingang, who left in the labyrinth.
A man who boldly pushes ahead and sticks to his ideas no matter what.
I wanted to be like that man.
Like his own brother.
But not everyone could be Xinjiang.
He was dragged into the hell that the Yaksha experienced and faced failure.
‘Yu-rim…’
The hell that Yu-rim experienced did not make him a prosecutor, but rather turned him into a murderer. It dried up my heart and soon cracked the emotional soil, making it impossible for anything to grow.
My passion for the sword was lost and I felt sick of everything.
And… I ca to hate people.
‘That’s right… that’s how the yaksha was born.’
I couldn’t bear this hell any longer.
I wanted to end everything.
As a result it failed.
– Failure… you failed…
“… shut up.”
Soone with a face that looked exactly like his muttered to him as he ca ashore.
It was a fantasy that appeared after taking the dicine.
“Ugh….”
Now, it was difficult to stay sane without dicine. It seed as if Shin Yura’s very existence would collapse.
Swoosh…
Swoosh…
I walked while soaked in water.
Then the rain fell as if the sky had a hole, and it felt as if it was washing away the salt.
“Hmm…”
When I applied a lot of force to the cut section, the bleeding stopped completely. The power to finely tune muscles.
The dicine of the faces also had an effect on strengthening the body. It is a power worthy of a machine for murder.
“… They’re all dead.”
Now that the faces are gone, we are now aimless machines. If this continues, dust will accumulate and it will no longer move.
‘no! I’m not done!’
After so many years that it was aningless to say that it had been a long ti, when I found traces of snowfall, a shiver ran through my body.
He thought that he could end all the pain that Shinyu felt.
But no.
It’s all because of Yurim.
Everything went wrong because of her.
– That’s right, it’s her. The Yaksha ruined everything.
“Shut up!”
The sound of fantasy chattering was still there.
It was confusing.
‘Those eyes…’
Her eyes hidden behind the Yaksha mask.
– If you fall… you can’t….
The calloused hands that desperately caught her as she fell off the cliff,
and her tears.
The water droplets falling from her mask were definitely not rain.
It was warm.
Those water droplets contained warmth.
The image of Yu-rim, who trained under Yu-hyeon when he was young, remained.
– Shinyu is good. I also want to beco strong like Shinyu.
– why? Are you still strong enough?
– No, I will beco stronger. There is sothing I must get back.
Unlike herself, who was drunk on power and had no purpose or will, she moved toward a clear goal.
– Snowfall is my most precious friend.
– … okay? Where are you now?
She smiled sadly.
– Far away, very far away now. But I will definitely find it!
Yurim gave a vague answer when asked what she planned to do after finding it.
When I brought up that mory, endless laughter flowed from my mouth.
It’s a laugh that is refreshing yet filled with longing
.
– You have to kill her.
The illusion urged him not to forget.
“Aaaah! “Please be quiet!”
Huuuuung-!
Huuuuuuung-!
With one of his arms cut off and his balance distorted, he danced a sword dance in the rain.
Because I no longer want to hear that twisted voice telling to kill Yu-rim.
Crumbling!
He danced the sword dance with only one arm.
A one-ard person with a different aning from Xinjiang.
He beca more perfect, but he beca uglier.
Phew…
The knife got stuck in the wet sand.
“Haa… haa….”
I collapsed from exhaustion and didn’t want to get up.
If I die like this, wouldn’t that be a bad ending?
– I will cut you down.
An eerie voice.
The swordsmanship that Yuhyeon showed him.
Those words and that action never left my head.
All of Yuhyeon’s powers, which were dismissed as illusions, were real.
In a world of fakes, he truly left sothing to him.
As if it was stuck in my heart and putting heavy anguish in my head.
Inspiration was planted.
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”
I grabbed my sword again.
Whoa!
Huuuuuung-!
In the sparkling world of swords, he realized sothing. A fleeting flash of inspiration.
As he was devastated, the last remaining talent given to him by heaven took hold of it.
Ssssssss…
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssb…
His sword gradually improved.
“I will… do what I must… do.”
* * *
Yoohyeon was buried.
And then I got up straight away and started walking casually.
“where should we go.”
“Well… anywhere is fine. “You choose.”
“… again?”
“huh.”
Yurim, who took off her mask, walked around the continent with Kang Seol’s arms crossed.
They were good anywhere.
There was no place for them in a world where everything was a lie.
It was each other.
Kugugugugugung…
Even as we crossed the continent, the ground cried.
People created by illusions said that Heaven was angry and tried to hold ancestral rites or solve the problem on their own.
Kang Seol and Yu Rim ignored everything and left.
Finally, they made their own ho at the foot of a mountain in the north.
They continued to have lucid dreams.
I clearly knew where this place was and why it was in my dream.
Still, I plan to live in a dream for the ti being.
puck-!
“ouch!”
A snowball flew at Yurim’s head and hit it, shattering it.
Winter has co.
A year has already passed since that incident.
“are you okay?”
“It’s okay… yay!”
Wow!
“evil! “Did you put ice in it?”
“When throwing sothing, keep in mind the characteristics of the object and don’t put too much force on your shoulder…” “
… You put ice in it, right?”
“Hehehe… then shall we stop having a snowball fight?”
“Yaaaaaa!”
“Aaaah! It’s a monster! Soone save ! A monster has appeared! “Neighborhood people!”
“We’re the only ones living in the neighborhood!”
For so reason, Yurim and Kangseol laughed more than before. Every mont was new.
She and Kang Seol haven’t cut their hair since losing Yuhyeon.
“Shouldn’t you stick a carrot on your nose?”
“to? “Wasn’t it a button?”
“I thought it was a carrot.”
“Button! “I learned it was a button.”
“… Should I put them both together?”
“OK.”
The snowman they made together had a button and a carrot attached to its nose.
“Ugh… It’s cold. Let’s go in quickly.”
“I knew that would happen, so I lit a fire in advance.”
“also! Seol is the best!”
“Hehehe… again.”
“It’s the best! snowfall!”
“This is strangely rewarding.”
Sigh…
According to the rumors, people are disappearing more frequently.
Since Kangseol and Yurim live in the mountains, people from Geonnut village who sotis co to get firewood would tell them to be careful.
What you had to watch out for wasn’t snowfall and driftwood.
Because they won’t go away.
Because it is one of the few truths in a world of lies.
“Uhm….”
Yu-rim fell asleep on Kang-seol’s lap, covered with a blanket.
I often fell asleep like this.
‘Because I can’t sleep well…’
We dream within dreams.
She mainly had nightmares.
“Ugh… Ugh….”
I don’t know what happened in the dream, but she cried often. I tried waking him up a few tis, but he said he thought it would be better if I didn’t wake him up so he could at least sleep.
He said that he would have the sa nightmare if he went back to sleep anyway.
Sigh…
I placed a pillow for her to lean on instead of her lap.
Happy mories were accumulated, but destruction ca closer by the minute.
Snowfall prepared to face destruction.
We got one step closer to the essence of darkness, and we explored the human body to the point that even Aggras was embarrassed.
Because it was clear that there were still more possibilities left in the blood of the beginning.
There must be a way to deal with Shinyu.
Yu-rim stood up without a word, looked at Kang-seol’s back as she was engrossed in training, and then disappeared.
Yurim also practiced to prevent his body from becoming dull.
They had to find the light before destruction ca.
Cracking…
crackling…
As ti passed, anxiety piled up along with the mories.
“Happy birthday, Seol-ah.”
“… ah.”
Twenty-four.
Although Kang Seol couldn’t rember exactly when he entered the dream, he never forgot that he and Yu Rim had been together since they were 8 years old.
But now they have reached the age of twenty-four.
“thank you. Has it already happened like that?”
“Hehe… what are you thinking about these days?”
“It’s just… sothing like this…”
“… you know, I want you to hear it.”
“what?”
Yurim laughed bitterly.
When she smiled, the world covered in snow seed to lt.
“How have you been living and what has happened to you?”
“Isn’t that who I am here?”
“doesn’t care. I’m ready to like you out there too.”
“… really.”
“… let hear it. talk.”
Kangseol chattered while stroking the head of Yurim, who was lying on her lap.
Because she wanted to, she told everything she experienced and the emotions she felt at that ti.
“… I see. “So much has happened.”
When I finished the story, Yurim was asleep.
He even made a soft snoring sound, as if he hadn’t had a nightmare for the first ti in a long ti.
An ordinary winter day passed.
As the winter of that year passed, the collapse of the world accelerated.
It was natural.
‘The mory of the Yasha world… is already over.’
Yurim has already beco a yaksha after the faces and veil disappear. Of course, her mory should have ended already.
At this point, it is a world that has been forced together.
There are people whose strength has run out.
People who are stiff and unresponsive, as if frozen.
The sa was true for animals and plants.
“…isn’t it tough?”
“huh? “Ai… you’re so shy.”
“… Does this hurt?”
“Slight… Off?”
“I can’t eat this. “I’ll find sothing else.”
“It’s snowing…”
“It’s okay. “I’ll be back soon.”
Twenty-five.
“Happy birthday Seol-ah!”
“huh! thank you!”
I was especially affectionate and especially grateful.
In a world where everything was collapsing, we were the only ones who were okay. No, actually it wasn’t like that.
We too were falling apart.
“Kill … kill Seol….”
“….”
“If only I suffer for a mont, everyone will be at ease. I am a Yacha! “You already know!”
“Yurim.”
“Please don’t call Yurim! I am Yacha….”
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…?
Kang Seol hugged her without realizing it.
“Ugh… Ugh… It’s painful, Seol.”
“are you okay. “I am next to you.”
After stopping crying, Yu-rim leaned next to Kang-seol and asked a question.
“You know… can I ask you sothing?”
“… what?”
“In the end, it’s your choice.”
“… Wouldn’t it be better to listen to it later?”
“Prepare your heart.”
“Then…”
Kang Seol folded his hand into Yu Rim’s hand.
“Yurim, I have always chosen to co this far. “All the way.”
“….”
“I was confident that I made the right choice every ti. “Because I tried.”
And shook his head.
“But I’m sure about this one. No matter what choice I make, I will regret it for the rest of my life. So…”
He grinned again.
“It’s my choice not to choose.”
“… Stupid Xinyu will be so angry.”
“I’m not afraid of it.”
“lie.”
“Are you a little nervous?”
Yurim muttered.
“You will lose… Shinyu is stronger than anyone else.”
“I’ve always been fighting sothing. It was always a dangerous opponent. And yet… I’m not as confident as Shin-yu. But this ti I’m not fighting to win.”
The eyes towards Yurim did not waver.
Just like Yoohyeon in life.
“We’re fighting to protect it.”
Yurim hugged him and cried silently.
Snowfall and Yurim burned like candles.
Like a candle that burns the last of the wick and eventually sees the end of the wax.
I struggled to prepare for the coming destruction in order to make more mories.
The mont of choice that approaches death.
“happy birthday!”
Twenty-six.
“…is it already your birthday again?”
Twenty-seven.
Just like that, winter has co again.
Winter ca, winter ca again, and then another winter ca.
“That’s it… That’s it!”
Around that ti, Snowfall made a big discovery.
He realized that sothing could be achieved by fusing the original blood and the source of darkness.
It seed that the fight with Shinyu might not be so one-sided.
Hehehe…
Just like that, winter has co again.
Snowfall welcod a visitor on her 28th birthday.
Hehehe…
There was a blizzard.
“… So, is it winter?”
Snowfall wiping the snow-covered yard.
From a distance, soone’s figure appeared blurry.
Kangseol carefully put away the rain, changed his clothes, and ca out.
Phew…
Phew…
A man with a frozen beard.
A one-ard coat with no decoration.
A broken man moving in a static world.
“… Co on.”
“It’s been a while since I had a snowfall. “You were waiting for .”
“huh.”
“….”
The two stood in silence.
“It looks cold. Would you like so tea?”
Shinyu shakes his head.
“… No, let’s start right away.”
it snowed.
And then I saw Shinyu’s eyes.
“Did you… stop taking the dicine?”
Sigh…
clear eyes.
It was a familiar divine feeling that Kang Seol knew.
“Thanks to Master and Yurim.”
“Then…”
– Kill her…
Shinyu lied.
He still had visions.
It’s just that now I’ve learned not to listen to it.
“Still, nothing has changed. “Kill Yurim.”
“….”
“Now it’s ti to choose. Snowfall, what is your choice?”
“….”
Kang Seol said, closing his eyes.
“Protecting Confucian forests.”
That was decided from the beginning.
Fate doesn’t give you a choice.
And then the girl caught up in that fate cos on stage.
Sabak…
Sabak…
“… Yurim?”
“Yurim!”
Yurim walked over.
To the side of snowfall and snowfall.
“Yurim… what are you doing….”
“Is that the path you chose? Yurim?”
“… huh.”
Yurim’s face was covered with a mask.
A strangely smiling mask.
Yasha’s mask, called the cursed mask.
No matter how far the bizarre mask was thrown, it eventually returned to Yurim’s side.
But I haven’t used it even once since that day.
“Yurim! “Take off your mask!”
Yu-rim shakes her head at Kang-seol’s words.
“I wrote this of my own will.”
“… what?”
Yurim looked at Shinyu and said.
“Shin Yu, I put on my mask again.”
“… Because you are a yaksha?”
“… To protect sothing precious.”
The sword left by Yuhyeon.
She placed her hand on the scabbard.
It seed to empower her.
“It’s a mask that has always brought pain, but this is my choice.”
Yurim said, putting her hand on the sheath of the sword.
“If you’re going to take sothing from … give it everything.”
“….”
“Otherwise, everything will be taken from you.”
“Did you choose Yasha?”
A path chosen by oneself.
She smiles while wearing a mask.
“Even when I wear a mask, I’m still Yurim.”
The mask’s smile no longer seed bizarre.
