Wuxia World
Chapter 238
Chapter 238 - Consciousness (3)
The people's shouts showed no signs of abating.
There was some relief that he had survived, but
if you saw the battle between Seo-joon and greed, everyone couldn't help but feel that way.
A fight between human beings but not human beings.
It felt like I was peeking at something out there.
In particular, there were no words to describe the last blow Seo-joon delivered.
It was invisible and unrecognizable, but
everyone who watched it was thrilled.
“Is this the strongest hunter of mankind that surpasses the hero of cataclysm…”
“Seeing that with my own eyes…”
People’s expressions were astonished and thrilled.
The two emotions were intricately intertwined.
After such a long time, the people's shouts fell silent.
Eventually, the hero of the cataclysm, Que-ku, approached Seo-jun.
“Thank you. How should I repay this favor...”
Que-ku bowed deeply to Seo-jun.
Although it is an immature body that has been poisoned by greed.
Queku expressed his deep gratitude towards Seo-jun.
And is it because of the appearance of such a cue?
“Really... Thank you very much, Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”
“If it wasn’t for Hunter, we would all be dead.”
One by one, people bowed their heads and thanked Seo-jun.
Seojun waved his hand with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“Oh no. You don't have to go this far...”
But people didn't think to raise their heads.
Rather, the villagers, not the members, bowed their heads.
“To be able to step up for things like us….”
“Pro Hunters could have ignored us as insignificant…”
“Thank you very much, Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”
Seojun had nothing to say.
Not to mention the hero of the cataclysm like that.
Even the villagers of the rebels.
When everyone is expressing their gratitude to Seo-joon.
There was one person who gave off a uniquely heterogeneous atmosphere.
A boy staring at Seo-joon with open eyes.
“Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!”
It was none other than Kwabna.
Kwabna's eyes are literally calling! was floating
If it's not a joke, if the eyes look bigger than the lanterns, can you explain a little bit?
“Young-hyung... Kim Seo-joon... Hunter?”
Kwabna even at this moment.
It seemed that he couldn't believe that Seojun was Seojun.
“Oops...”
Kwabna stood there blankly.
If one day I faced the sun rising from the west, would I do that?
Seo-joon smiled a little involuntarily.
It's embarrassing to say this myself, but
it was understandable because I met someone I considered my idol. ‘I was like that
when I first met Geomseong
...'
If Seo-joon's memory is correct...
it was probably right after the academy contest ended.
It was the time when he had just entered Seoyoon's Dream Academy. At that time
, I remember that
Geomseong suddenly came to Seo-jun and beat Seo-jun.
‘So I was beaten so badly that I had to fight back, right?'
And then, when I grew up, I promised to give back 100 times.
Seo-joon burst out laughing without even realizing it.
The swordsman who was the hero of the cataclysm.
It was because the thought that I was worried about whether I could jump over him suddenly came to my mind.
But now...
Seo-joon let out a sly smile once again.
Of course, Seo-jun had no intention of making that promise come true.
The behavior of the swordsman at that time.
I didn't know it then, but now I know why.
‘Seoyun-ssi had a hard time at that time... Huh? Mr. Seoyoon?'
“ah! Teammates!”
It was only then that Seo-joon remembered the team members he had forgotten about.
They decided to split up to find information about the star of cancer and get back together.
But now, it wasn't enough that I went sideways, and I even fought with greed
.
‘Seojun! What if you disappear without a word!!'
‘brother! I thought you died somewhere else!'
Somehow, the nagging of the team members came like hallucinations.
Maybe.
It seemed like I had to go back soon.
But there was something to be done before we went back.
Seo-jun looked at Que-ku, who was still lowering his head.
Then he gently pointed his finger under his feet and said.
“Hey, how do I do this?”
“hmm? What do you mean?”
Queque gently raised her head.
Then, he turned his gaze to the direction Seo-joon's finger pointed.
There, the body of greed...
No, it was reconciled to dust and disappeared, so to be precise, the place where the body of greed was.
A heap of diamonds was piled up there.
Queque tilted her head and said.
“Diamond?”
“I caught the monster and it came out.”
Seo-joon answered insignificantly.
He couldn't figure out why greed had left behind piles of diamonds.
By the way, did Cue-Ku have a guess?
“Hmm...”
Queku's expression as he looked at the diamond hardened.
“Did it belong to Queku?”
“no. It's not like that...”
Queku blurted out.
Seo-Jun looked at Cue-Ku and asked.
“Then, how about the diamond treatment?”
Then Queque suddenly raised her head and answered.
“Ah, if you're asking that, of course you do as you wish.”
“Uh… is that okay?”
Queque nodded as if it were natural.
“What did we do? It is already too much to have saved your life.”
Queco had no interest in diamonds at all.
Even at a cursory glance, it is an amount that easily exceeds hundreds of billions.
“Haha...then don't hesitate.”
There was no reason to kick the cause and effect that came rolling in naturally.
Seo-joon smiled shyly and put the diamond into the kibisis.
Seo-joon took all the diamonds like that.
Then, when I was about to leave to meet my teammates.
“I know that my benefactor has no shame…”
Suddenly, Queku’s voice came.
As Seo-jun turned his head,
Que-ku cautiously opened his mouth.
“Could you… help us?”
Cueq's desperate expression.
“Uh...”
Seo-joon was speechless for a moment.
I couldn't answer precisely.
It was also because Seo-jun's circumstances were also urgent to help Cue-ku.
But did he think he was hesitant to see Seo-joon like that?
“We, South Africa… are abandoned.”
Queque opened her mouth again.
If it's that long, it's long, if it's short, a short story has begun.
And the summary of the story was as follows.
tyranny.
The current South African president, Acudo Apo, was tyrannical.
As the word president suggests,
South Africa was a country that adopted democracy.
That's why the word tyranny didn't fit, but the world didn't go that way.
The government bought professional hunters with powerful capital through diamonds.
And when the blade was thrust into the citizens' necks.
Illusions like the right to vote did not block the blade.
Nothing in the world could stop the blade.
Only a blade with the same power can block it.
That's how life becomes extremely monotonous.
People knew it, but were suppressed by tyranny and continued their lives like slaves.
The country continued to grow rich, but
its citizens continued to be impoverished.
And Queku couldn't just watch it.
Cue-ku, the hero of Cataclysm.
Because this was not the world he wanted to create while enduring the cataclysmic times.
Cueco gathered professional hunters who had not been bribed by the government.
The era where professional hunters have degenerated into a mere money-making job.
But as always.
There are bound to be Hunters who are not.
So the rebels rallied and Queco rose against the government.
Queku is a hero of cataclysm called the pinnacle of humanity.
The government was unable to stop the rebels led by Cueco.
While things were going so smoothly.
At some point, an existence that even Queku could not handle appeared.
‘A twisted being...'
Seojun could intuit that he was a twisted being.
It seemed that the twisted being had something to do with the South African government.
To be exact, with Jinrihoe.
“Can you… help us?”
Queku lowered his head and asked Seo-jun.
Seo-joon looked at such a cue.
and.
“sorry. It seems difficult right now.”
I politely declined the request.
“Ah...”
Queku's expression showed deep regret.
Seojun felt sorry for nothing.
In fact, from Seo-jun's point of view, there was no reason not to help Que-ku.
For once, if Quecu's words were true, the twisted entity seemed to have ties to the South African government.
So it was clear that by helping Queku and the rebels,
they would find the twisted one at the end.
Now, unlike other times, we do not receive any help from the government.
There were many restrictions to act only as a team member.
That's why it wasn't bad for Seo-jun to help Cue-ku.
no, it was rather good.
But not now.
“I have a situation where I need to quickly find Mr. Cancer.”
It was because Seo-joon had to find the castle of cancer as soon as possible.
“Cancerity? Are you saying that the planet of darkness is also here?”
Then Queque opened her eyes in surprise.
Cue Que and Illusion.
These two were heroes of the same cataclysm.
The two, who had been together through cataclysmic times, seemed to know each other.
“yes.”
Seojun nodded.
Then he told me a short story about the ignorance.
That's how the story ends.
“Huh, that's the situation...”
Queku burst into exclamations.
Heroes of Cataclysm basically do not believe in Jinrihoe.
But is it because of the Jinrihoe helping the poor in South Africa?
“I was keeping an eye on Jinrihoe, but I was relieved because there was no special action... How could this happen?”
Queco seemed to have no doubts about the Jinrihoe for a moment.
“Hmm…”
Que-ku was lost in thought for a moment.
So little time passes.
“My thoughts were short. This position should have been reversed.”
Queku slowly opened his mouth.
“Our rebels will help you.”
“yes? Are you Queku?”
Queque nodded.
“exactly. It's probably the Jinrihoe and the government. It seems that these two are also closely related. If we help you, we will also fight against the forces of the government. In the end, it will be the same purpose.”
“Uh…”
Is that how it is?
“If the members need anything, they can do whatever they want. You can start by finding the ignorance first. how... Can't we help you?”
Seo-jun was momentarily at a loss for words at Que-ku's resolute request.
Queku's words that he would help instead
of asking for help .
Honestly.... nothing bad.
No, it was something I hadn't hoped for.
Italy and England.
And now, as in the case of the United States, we cannot get help from the government.
It was because it would be much easier to find the dark castle if
Queku and the rebels helped .
“It would be nice if you could help me, but…”
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
For some reason, Queku expressed his gratitude to Seo-jun with a very happy expression.
“Right now, I will tell the crew members spread across the country to find the castle of darkness. It won't be easy to find, but you should be able to catch a clue soon enough.”
Queku's words continued.
I thought that Seo-joon was really good at carving a side road.

This time... is it?
The great voice let go of the sudden thought.
A twisted existence that has returned with the sin of greed destroyed.
To be honest, I never expected it to come this far.
It had to be.
For this was not the fate the Great Voice had ever seen. To be precise
, all fate should have been ended by Beserk in England
before Eldritch was destroyed in America
before coming to Africa .
But now...
the great voice looked into the air.
Is this also a decided fate?
Or are you caught up in his fate?
Or is it the beginning of a new destiny?
The great voice could not answer.
And I didn't even think deeply.
anyway.
It doesn't make any sense anymore
“The preparations for the ceremony are complete.”
The great voice slowly looked away.
All six apostles were gathered there except for the apostle of chastity.
And behind those apostles, the people of South Africa were huddled together.
“I only received help every time, but it is really fortunate that I can help a believer like this.”
“Just do anything! I will break your limbs!”
Most of them belonged to the poor.
No one will be interested no matter where you die and fall.
The number reached 1,000.
“What the hell… what the hell are you trying to do?”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from a corner.
Where I looked, the dark star was glaring at the great voice as if to kill it.
The Great Voice turned his gaze back to the assembled people.
Then, slowly, he let out his will.
[No matter how many there are, in the end they are only human.]
A human who is extremely weak.
No matter how many defense mechanisms are put on,
what is inside is only a weak human spirit.
Primal fear is the most efficient means of disintegrating such a human spirit.
It corrupts people,
devours their souls, and makes fun of them.
The great voice nodded.
Before long, the apostles began to move slowly.
“What can we do?”
The eyes of the people of South Africa twinkled at the appearance of such apostles.
The poor who were abandoned by the people by the state.
However, Jinrihoe did not abandon themselves.
They cared for and cared for the abandoned ones.
A religious organization for the salvation of mankind.
Jinrihoe came to them as the greatest hope.
and. When you realize
that the existence you thought was your greatest hope
is actually your greatest despair.
Pooh!
The highest level of fear, in which humans fear their fellow humans, is expressed.
Bright red blood gushed out, and the most advanced person collapsed.
“uh...?”
“uh...?”
People's expressions started to look dumb at the sudden situation.
And that was the beginning.
Kwajik!
Fu Chemistry!
The apostles began slaughtering people indiscriminately.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Even run away!!!”
1,000 souls who were enchanted by the mask's good intentions and followed it.
“Why... why the hell...!”
“Please save me! Goddess, please...! Whoops!”
The 1,000 fear rises.
“What is this...!”
The ignorance looked at the great voice with open eyes.
“You crazy bastard!!! What are you doing now!!!”
Darkness shouted in a voice full of screams.
But the great voice did not budge.
“right now!! Stop right now, this bastard !!! ”
【Noisy.】
“Cheuk!”
The ignorance could not resist and completely lost consciousness.
The great voice looked away again.
A child appeared in the gaze of such a great voice.
Maybe around 8 years old?
He was a child with skin and bones, unable to eat.
And did the mind collapse at the terrible sight?
“Ah... ah...”
The child was looking at the great voice with a bewildered expression.
The child's eyes trembled as he looked at the great voice.
An unspoken emotion crying out for help arises.
The deep fear that dwells within it.
and.
Pooh!
Red blood spurted out.
The great voice turned its back nonchalantly.
Anyway, this dimension.
It will soon be filled with blood.
Everything that exists will perish (滅) and
eventually turn into an oblivion (忘) that cannot be remembered.
The blood shed now is just a predestined fate.
Just because you can understand,
you don't think your actions are good just because you
can be understood .
he is evil
This original sin must also be carried by oneself.
【You were swayed by emotion and hesitated...】
Boom!
Kwajik!
The indiscriminate slaughter continued uninterrupted.
1,000 corpses piled up and
piles of corpses dug into the pit.
It's not long since he died, so the remnants of emotions that remain are thick and fresh.
“This horror... This horror...!”
The twisted being made an ecstatic expression.
“It's really the best!”
The twisted being inhaled deeply the remnants of its emotions like a fine feast.
“Sueueueup....”
The crystallization of fear in which humans fear the same humans.
The twisted being calmly absorbed the rise of fear.
By the time the blood of 1,000 people started to fill the pit.
【Let's start.】
The ritual of the end has begun.
#
Afterwards, Seo-jun talked with Que-ku more.
And after the Eolchu story ended, Seo-jun said to Que-ku.
“Then I'll go and get my teammates.”
“Did the Dream Team come too?”
“yes. They are still waiting for me.”
That's for quite a long time too.
Seo-joon smiled shyly.
Even so, he wouldn't be nagging me for leaking down the side road.
“Huh, even though the people who stir up the world entered the country, we didn’t know anything…”
Queque murmured with a dejected expression.
I wondered why the control of the media was more severe than I thought.
“Come on. I will instruct the crew to find the whereabouts of the Castle of Darkness. Details will be discussed again when the Dream Team arrives.”
“Then I will go.” It
was just then that Seo-joon was about to leave the village after
breaking up with Que-ku .
“Um… brother? No, so...”
Someone spoke to Seo-jun.
Gaze back to nature.
There Kwavna stood there, stiff.
“Uh... that's... uh...”
Kwabna was speechless.
Apparently, he couldn't figure out how to call Seo-jun.
“Just call me comfortably like before.”
“That's okay...?”
Seojun nodded.
Then Kwabna made an expression of the family's glory.
The expression on the face right before opening the wrapper of a Christmas present.
As if Kwavna spared every word.
He opened his mouth very carefully.
“I'm looking for someone who just said cancer...”
Seo-joon nodded slowly.
It seemed that he overheard what he was talking about with Queku.
It wasn't something to hide, so Seo-joon didn't care much.
Then Kwabna opened her mouth again, wondering if it was okay to say this.
“That…the one called Cancer.”
At the same time, Kwabna hesitated to speak as if looking at someone else's notice.
And a word that followed.
“I think I know where I am…”
