It must be ridiculous.

It's been a long time since I've been here. Especially after a year of disappearance, the one who was known to have actually died came back alive. Suddenly, I was curious, but to be honest, I was more than happy. Even so, he had a debt of heart to Baek Hyun, and he didn't hate Baek Hyun even though he left it.

At first I had no choice but to meet the enemy, and now I am not.

“What did you just say? ”

But that's it, and this is it. The spirit once again asks with disdain. I don't think I heard it wrong, but it was such a crazy thing to say.

Baek Hyun smiled awkwardly, staring at the face of a trembling spirit. It is natural, but Rye Lung, who came after him, was more difficult to endure the awkwardness of this situation than Baek Hyun. Embarrassed, ashamed, humiliated... all those feelings, just humiliated.

“Can you let her stay here? ”

“You're not kidding? ”

The voice of answering nonsense questions still trembles. Of course I had to.

“You explained the situation. ”

“That's... right. It's unbelievable, but I don't think it's a lie. It's a pity. ”

The spirit said so and looked at Lei Lung. Rai Lung looks down and squirms his fingers.

“And you, you're not even the first to see it. Don't you think?”

“That doesn't mean we're close. ”

The spirit murmurs in vain. Before he was still a speedster. When it was Yeonlyun, a member of the warrior armed forces. He fought with Baek Hyun at his father's command, and joined forces with the stolen Carpago to drive Baek Hyun to the point of death. At that moment, Lei Lung broke in. Although there was no hostility, Yeonlyun and Lei Lung fought for each other for a while.

“It's good if you're not close. Why don't you get to know each other this time? ”

“What are you talking about?”

“Hey, you be quiet. It's all for you. ”

As Lei Lung grunts in a small voice, Baek Hyun immediately cuts off the horse and shoots at him. Then Lei Lung glances at Baek Hyun with Volmen's eyes.

In order to prevent Yongsung from interfering further with Rye Lung, it is best to shelter her in other rapid territories. If the perforation has functioned as a mobility station, you can just take it to the perforation station, but the perforation is not a mobility station now.

Fortunately, Baek Hyun was friendly enough to go through the sanctuary. The serpent of regeneration, the black rose queen, and the armor. I haven't been there yet, but if I ask you to enter the sanctuary of the Nightmare Decider, you will be able to enter.

But now the nightmare maker is in the Amazon with Shanak. And the serpent of regeneration could not be trusted as before because of the venom of the World Eater that attacked the Dragon King. Of course, it was precisely by meeting the serpent of regeneration in person, but there was a precedent that the serpent of regeneration had not talked about the World Eater before.

The Black Rose Queen? Rose Dum is full of maggies. It was in many ways not suitable to shelter Rai Lung, who lost his power as an apostle. Even though I don't want to, the Black Rose Queen is dying. If even the Black Rose Queen is extinguished, Rose Dum will be extinguished together.

In the end, all that remained was the spirit. At last, there are face-to-face encounters, and the spiritual realm is not overflowing with dangerous air currents like magi. Not only that, Baek Hyun also had a belief that the spirit would never betray him. What, Baek Hyun isn't the one who helped Yeon Lion become a ghost?

‘I beat him to death. ’

Technically, Baek Hyun didn't kill him himself. It is I who cut off the life of the spirit.

‘Rather, is that worse? ’

I felt a little uneasy when I swallowed. Baek Hyun stares at the spirit. The armor sitting on the throne wrapped around his face with its hands and was deeply submerged in thought. Liu Lung's eyes still tremble and his fingers squirm.

“... got it. ”

Thoughts are organized. The spirit opened his mouth. Baek Hyun turns his head in anticipation and looks at the spirit.

“If you ask me... I don't want to say no. I don't know if I should call this a favor. ”

“Please.”

“Can I ask you to add one more word? ”

The spirit murmurs with a ridiculous face.

“You can't repay all your debts with this. But I think I can subtract a little. ”

“Debt, what's so calculating between us? ”

“Maybe a year is a long time for humans. In the meantime, there's been a lot of squealing. ”

It's not a year for me. I thought about it, but I didn't say it. Depending on what you're going through, maybe a week is worth more than a year. For Baek Hyun, it was a week from the commandment. It is thanks to meeting Ajin, experiencing the martial arts of God, and constantly listening to spiritual education and verbal advice. For a madman, selling is the right answer.

“It's amazing that the Yong Seong Army is so hypocritical. ”

The spirit murmurs with his hands around his face.

“The Dragon Army that I saw in Abyss was bold, truthful, and quick to know Dory. You don't know everything on the outside. ”

“You can't trust those bastards who talk nice in my mouth. ”

“What about you? ”

“I'm not nice. I don't think it's bad, but he's doing what I'm good at. ”

“You judge yourself colder than you think. That, too, is very accurate. ”

“Right? Do you want me to rate you too? ”

“No, I'm good. I don't think I'm listening to anything good. ”

An armed man frowned and replied. I've been abused by my fucking father, but yet I grew up strong and knew the truth... Baek Hyun, who was preparing to say such things, kept his mouth shut with regret.

“The serpent of regeneration? ”

It was nice to meet suddenly, but the reason for the meeting was not romantic either. But surprisingly, there was no great disappointment.

‘I guess time has passed. ’

I would have been disappointed and frightened. No, I feel rather the same now. Seong-soo greets Sarah, who is sitting next to Baek Hyun, and raises her head.

“You've been strangely quiet lately. ”

“... quiet? ”

So you're more anxious. But I couldn't ask openly. Maybe the serpent of regeneration is listening.

“Yes.”

“Why? Is something wrong? ”

“Well... I don't know that either. ”

Sue said with a dismayed expression.

“The serpent of regeneration doesn't like to talk to me first. Most of the time, you're talking to me like I'm acting or thinking. ”

It was a serpent-down thing to regenerate. Even when I went to the old temple, the serpent of regeneration grumbled because it was stupid to leave Essence. In the first place, the serpent of regeneration kept Essence as an apostle, but he did not intend to make it an apostle so soon.

“I've never been to his sanctuary, the Saguenay... Well, I've never been to the Saguenay since I became a full apostle. The reason is...”

Hmm, hmm. Essence coughed low. I didn't say it myself, but that's why I knew. Essence suffered from the harsh spartaneous conduct of the serpent of regeneration in the Saguenay for more than half a year in order to become a formal apostle. So many snakes biting, poisoning, swelling and shrinking like mountains... trapped in a bathtub full of snakes. Comrades were only serpents, and the serpents of regeneration were only thirsty. But if you ask me if I resent the serpent of regeneration, it was no longer the place where I didn't want to leave him and go back.

“It's been a while, so I'd like to say hello. ”

Baek Hyun was unlucky. World-eater and poison for raiding the Dragon King. As long as the Serpent of Regeneration is silent, I have no choice but to visit him myself. I thought it might be dangerous, but how many times would the serpent of regeneration have had the chance to do it?

“Oh, yeah? ”

The complexion of Essence is pale.

“You can't go alone...” “Is that him? ”

Baek Hyun laughed quietly. The pale complexion turns into a melancholy. I thought I should go back to a cave full of trauma, so I was strangled.

“I'm not going. ”

The same was true of Sarah, whose face was crumpled. She stares at Baek Hyun. What are you so busy doing back in a year? I wanted to spend some time together, but Rai Lung and Dragon King are now the serpents of regeneration.

“Why?"

“That woman, I don't like her. ”

Sarah squeezed out her lips and said, Because Sarah was hostile to the serpent of regeneration first, Sarah was the first to deal with the rapid presence at the time, so it was inevitable.

“I'll be right there. ”

Baek Hyun snapped Sarah's lips with his fingers. Sarah shrugs her shoulders and stares at Baek Hyun with a dismayed look. It's because it's the first time I've ever had a skin like this. In fact, Baek Hyun was surprised as well. I thought I wanted to press my squeamish lips, but I never thought I'd act like a real thought.

“Well, what are you...”

“I had something on my lips. ”

“I didn't eat anything...? ”

“I buried Kim. ”

“No way! ”

“Uh, um, no, I buried it. ”

Essence, who was staring at it in the mood of the viewer, hurried out his words. Of course I didn't bury anything. Baek Hyun and Sarah looked at Essence at the same time. Molly was embarrassed by the look on her face and said nothing.

“Mo, ugly. ”

Sarah's face was twisted. I thought I was trying to cover my own... I couldn't even make it work.

“That's not true. ”

I was sorry for Essence, but in this situation, it was the right answer to blame Essence.

*

“Isn't that too much? ”

I've been to the realm of the Serpent of Regeneration before, so it wasn't hard to find it. A nearby residential area uses teleport scrolling, and throughout the mountain ride where the entrance to the Saguenay is located, Essence roars about what happened earlier.

“I was trying to help you, but what if you two want to go to me like that? ”

“No, thank you for trying to cover it up. You said ugliness was too...”

“Then don't tell me you buried Kim! No, no, no. Why did you suddenly touch your lips? ”

“I feel like a button that pops out. ”

“My sister's lips are red. I don't know why it's so red without putting anything on my lips. Didn't you sneak in some pigment? ”

Essence roars with her lips. Her lips were even dull, but not as thick as Sarah's.

“Or even genes? Race? The eyes are red, the skin is white, and what's so different about being born with it. ”

When I heard the roar of Essence, I was able to reach the hillside with a cave. Essence shrugs around once and walks out loud. Baek Hyun was already confident and checking the entrance of the temple. The entrance to the Saguenay was firmly closed like a mystery.

“Don't you have to open it to get in? ”

“Do you think I'm an apostle? ”

Towards the Saguenay, the grumbling of Essence stopped for the first time. She raises her hand as she groans. Even as an apostle, she was still fond of the tie that clings to her body. Thinking about the black line given by the serpent of regeneration, it seemed that Essence could be the apostle of the serpent of regeneration, but it also had the same taste.

The tied arms were covered with snake scales. No, to be precise, her arm became a ‘snake’. The long tongue's palm flickers from the snake's head. Essence pushes the snake toward the entrance of the den without distance. When the snake's tongue licks the entrance, the door to the cave opens.

“Let's go.”

Essence takes the lead and walks in.

Facing the moment you enter through the door is a fall. I've been to the Saguenay before, so I'm not embarrassed. Reaching the end of the fall is a swamp full of poison. But I wasn't swamped.

Just before the swamp, Margaret appeared and burned Baek Hyun on her head. After that, I drove through the swamp in Margara and dived into Baek Hyun's mouth... to a splendid mansion inhabited by the serpent of regeneration.

‘You have to show up...’

The end of the fall is approaching. The swamp is close. A swamp-filled venom is so horrible that it makes fun of the venom of the venom of the Venom King who suffered horribly from Baek Hyun in the Monastery. Of course, it's not enough to kill Baek Hyun now, but it was obvious that he would feel like shit if he fell into poison.

That did not happen. Even before Baek Hyun dealt with it, the black cloth he was wearing reacted. Hahaha! The black cloth poured down widens greatly and takes the body of Baek Hyun. It was like a boat made of cloth folded. It was only a problem that it was not very comfortable to move because it was connected to the clothes worn.

“Puha!”

Essence lifts its head from the swamp. Her head was soaked in sticky poison. Nevertheless, the apostle of the serpent of regeneration, the body of Essence was not poisoned. But she panicked and looked around.

“Why isn't Margaret here? ”

Originally, Margara always dominates this swamp. When you open the door and come in, you always fall on top of Margaret. Margaret was the leader of a few unauthorized visitors and an executioner who swallowed an enemy who came in without permission.

“I don't know. ”

Baek Hyun murmured with his hands as he lifted up the black cloth that led to his body.

A swamp full of poison makes me feel thrilled.
