Perhaps he was thinking so much that his expression vanished.
It was as if he was paying close attention to what the person said and what it would bring him.
Hmm.
Seol-Hwi gave him enough time.
The Earth Demon was a familiar figure, but to the Earth Demon of this life, he had never met someone like Seol-Hwi.
And when someone suddenly comes up and says, I will live the life for you, it is natural for him to feel lost.
He is reacting like this because of his easy-going nature; normally, everyone would kick me out.
Even Seol-Hwi felt the same way.
Hey, I dont quite understand What does it mean to live my life?
As time passed, the Earth Demons lips parted.
Seol-Hwi shrugged and said,
Well, for now, it is what I said.
Seol-Hwis face changed with the words; his skeleton became narrower.
!
The Earth Demons eyes widened at that sight. It was as if he was standing in front of a mirror.
Same face and body type.
Except for the clothes, he looked as if the Earth Demon was standing in front of him.
How is it? Do you think this works?
You are a person who has reached the Supreme state.
The Earth Demon stared at Seol-Hwi for a moment in shock. There were not many who could perfectly look like someone.
People have their own individuality in many areas, including body shape, form, and movement habits. Especially a warrior.
For a warrior above a certain level, the force created by the combination of higher strength and internal energy was like a smell.
No matter how much effort was put in, it could not be hidden or changed.
It was close to impossible.
The man in front of him was giving off a scent identical to that.
Wonderful. It seems like you came prepared
The Earth Demon looked at Seol-Hwi and then shook his head.
You cannot act as my replacement. You were wrong in knowing my life.
If it is your life, I know. You are someone who has had quite a lot of ups and downs.
Seol-Hwi answered right then.
In the past, when they lived together, he had firsthand experience of how pitiful this man was.
And except for the Earth Demon himself, it was Seol-Hwi who knew the situation more objectively through the repeated pasts.
Well. My sahyung sajaes are the problem. Honestly, for me you would not be figured out if you dressed up, but they have other senses.
Of course, the Earth Demon, who had no way of knowing that, rubbed his chin.
It is a bit flustering to say it so, but you have just one talent. A natural body. Because of that, the sahyungs all treat you a bit carelessly a knife, one which is sharp but can be used just once as it breaks later.
!?
Seol-Hwi stopped talking as the Earth Demons face went stiff.
I know. Heavenly Killing Star, your bodys condition. Normally, you should have died at the age of 16. A life which must have been difficult. If it werent for the Sect Leader who snatched you out of the Wudang Sect, you would have died a long time ago.
That is why the Sect Leader isnt just a teacher but a benefactor in life, or so you might be thinking Unfortunately, he is no savior, and not your father at all.
Seol-Hwi did not look sad; rather, he looked at the Earth Demon with a calmer look.
Once in their past lives, Seol-Hwi and the Earth Demon realized all of the Sect Leaders plans. There was a time when they decided to prepare for a rebellion.
But the moment he started the rebellion, the Earth Demon hesitated and looked helpless.
At the time, he found the mans indecisiveness irritating, but he could understand it now.
The Earth Demon lived a lonely life.
Although his martial arts were the best in the world, his blood got stronger with each day.
The Sect Leader, who kept him alive through any means possible when he was dying. The strongest man who saved his life. And taught him martial arts too.
He treated the Earth Demon warmly, even if it was just for a moment acting like the father he lost when he was young, he must have protected that.
Actually, you probably already know. To the Sect Leader, the Fourth Disciple is nothing more than a new, fun toy. If he really thought of you as a son, he wouldnt have put you in this bad position, right?
It sounds nice, being a group of disciples right under the Sect Leader, but actually, this person called the great sahyung is a bastard, the next one is a sly fox, and the third one is a crazy woman. Its like being thrown into a den of wolves. You happened to be the Heavenly Killing Star, so holding a glass knife is what you looked like. It must have been fun for them to watch you.
The Earth Demon was speechless. He looked expressionless.
Seol-Hwis every word struck him, but his face did not change.
But that was all hiding the emotions. In response to Seol-Hwis harsh words, he did not deny anything.
He was the Heavenly Killing Star.
He was not only outstanding. His brain worked well too.
He must have already known that his master, the Sect Leader, was just using words to take advantage of him.
He was about to accept it.
That is amazing. You really know my heart as if you can see into it.
Because you told me all this.
It was a long time ago, but he remembered it. How the Earth Demon clearly talked about the situation.
At that time
He also said he wanted to drink without worries.
Phew
The Earth Demon let out a long sigh and looked at Seol-Hwi, shaking his head.
First, you will not be the Heavenly Killing Star. So, even if you use your strength, you wont die. And even though you arent that, he possesses a level of strength which might even surpass it. So, situations where people die unjustly will no longer exist.
Not just your Hidden Truth Corps, but all the escort and core warriors, as well as the secret warriors, will be in danger or despised. If you have a cause, you are in the position of holding power.
The Earth Demons gaze shifted at Seol-Hwis words.
Unlike his initial reaction, this time he truly considered the matter serious. And Seol-Hwi waited for him.
For him to organize his thoughts.
Because he had already anticipated that someone would not be pleased about someone acting as their body double.
When a bit of time had passed.
Phew.
His eyes were full of concern as he called out to Seol-Hwi.
I dont know about other things but I know that you are strong. Much stronger than the other disciples. Maybe its because you seem stronger than anyone Ive met.
How do you know?
Seol-Hwi was slightly flustered. He had been preparing for this event, but it seemed unnecessary. Instead, he was curious.
The moment I met you, comfort I think I felt like that.
?
Something Ive never felt before. Because of that energy, I normally hate people when I meet them, I get sensitive and sometimes go overboard. But with you
His voice trembled slightly as he paused for a moment.
As soon as we met, all that vanished. It must be a person, but instead of reacting, I felt comfortable.
He felt it.
Seol-Hwi nodded.
That made sense. He mentioned that his extreme senses felt at ease. It felt like he was witnessing the effects of the improvement.
Your name?
Hwi. And Seol is the first name.
Seol-Hwi
The Earth Demon recited Seol-Hwis name and then continued speaking.
Seol-Hwi, I want to hear something honest.
The Earth Demon looked at Seol-Hwi again. Then he spoke,
What is the real reason?
It was an unexpected reaction.
He thought he had explained it well enough earlier it felt like something was missing.
Now that I think about it, it doesnt have to be me, right? With your ability, you could just become the fifth disciple since the Sect Leader hasnt been seen for a long time That is why I need to know the real reason, why it has to be me.
Somehow Because I want to start from the lowest place.
!
The Earth Demon paused.
Seeing him like this, Seol-Hwi did not want to continue talking, and from now on, it did not matter even if he did.
It would be polite to show honest feelings to close friends who ask for sincerity.
You have to be in a position of being despised and looked down upon which makes revenge more thrilling.
Revenge.
The Earth Demon spoke again, highlighting that.
Against whom? It seems like your strength isnt just for a disciple of the Heavenly Demon, but
God.
?!
The Earth Demon went still, as if shocked.
Revenge on the God who made me like this. How does that sound?
The Earth Demon trembled.
It was odd. He definitely heard something that made no sense, and yet he was shaking.
Right, he had given up, but there was a time he felt itthe reason he was different and broken.
Different from normal people since birth, and the people who made him like this must exist.
God it feels like a romantic word.
The Earth Demon did not avoid eye contact.
He saw Seol-Hwi, who looked like him.
I will do that.
If there was a God who made them this way, if there was one who made their lives this sad even the Earth Demon wanted to punch him in the face.
You almost blew him up before. Although it didnt go as well as planned.
Seol-Hwi smiled and nodded, and the Earth Demon, as if waiting, said,
Lets do our best, Fourth Disciple.
Yes Fourth Disciple.
The two people looked at each other, sharing the same resolve, and smiled.
