62. Bring fire (4)

“That’s a bit difficult.”

That was Moon Il-ji’s answer. I rounded my lips and made a sound.

“Oh. Do you want to die?”

“No, no. I’m doing that because I don’t want to die.”

“If you don’t convince me within a day, your head will be cut off.”

Moon Il-ji’s speech became faster because of my acne. As a bonus, his tone became more polite.

“Actually, no one knows this, but the Black Dragon Lord has planted loneliness in my brain.”

“Loneliness? Wasn’t that gone?”

This was another embarrassing statement. Loneliness is a parasitic bug that infects the human brain. The method of creating loneliness is monstrous.

Put all kinds of poisonous insects in a jar and let them eat each other. The insects that survive here are collectively called “gokol”. When male and female gokol are mated, a partridge is produced. The partridge eats its father and inherits a stronger poison.

If you feed a small worm to a person, the worm will climb up to the brain and parasitize. If the person with the worm then kills the worm, the worm will die along with its brain. So, by feeding the worm to a person, it felt like the person with the worm was controlling the person who parasitized the worm.

Of course, creating loneliness, feeding it, or using it are all against the law. It is a serious crime that is punishable by extreme punishment, just like exorcism or cutting up a living being.

“I don’t know where he got it either. So I drank the alcohol with loneliness without any suspicion.”

I nodded my head without realizing it. In this day and age, how can one write about loneliness? Everyone must have known that loneliness had disappeared along with the devil’s cult.

“Loneliness. I never thought of that.”

“Yeah. Why would I be caught by that kind of idiot? I regret that day to the end. I didn’t know that having a drink with my old hometown friend would lead to this.”

“But it’s not a lie?”

Moon Il-ji became enraged at my words and slammed the desk.

“You don’t know how much I’ve suffered. He doesn’t like me even a little bit, and when he doesn’t see me, he teases me about loneliness. Do you know how strong the pain of loneliness is? It breaks my heart. It breaks my heart.”

“It’s none of my business.”

Moon Il-ji lowered his head at the plain answer.

“That’s true. And you might think that’s a lie. To be honest, loneliness is something that’s only told as a legend. But… … .”

Moon Il-ji’s expression changed suddenly as he stopped talking. His face suddenly turned bright red, then pale. Then he grabbed his head and rolled on the floor.

“Hey, hey. What’s wrong?”

“Ugh, ugh.”

Moon Il-ji couldn’t even scream properly, and just kept crying, snot, and drooling.

“… … It is a symptom of loneliness. It is said that if you touch the mother turtle, it releases a toxin that causes great pain to the host.”

Jo Chung-heon added from behind. I knew that much, but for some reason I couldn’t believe it. The very idea of ​​loneliness was hard to believe. I crouched down and poked the door with my finger.

“Hey, hey. Don’t act.”

“Ah, ugh.”

Moon Il-ji groaned without even answering. I looked at Jo Chung-heon. Jo Chung-heon also looked confused, not knowing what to do.

“It looks really painful.”

“I don’t know. Maybe he’s a genius at acting.”

“Huh, huh. My, you son of a bitch… … Is this acting?”

Moon Il-ji twisted his body, making a sound like he was gasping for breath.

Then, a thought suddenly occurred to me. Loneliness was actually the exclusive property of the Demonic Cult, which had disappeared. So, how could it be controlled with magic? If it were true loneliness.

I turned Moon Il-ji’s body over and put my hand on his back. As he continued to twist his body, I placed my knee on Moon Il-ji’s waist and held his body in place.

Moon Il-ji was still in pain. In the midst of all this, he couldn’t even move his body, so it must have been a very painful experience.

“Haengsu, please go out for a moment.”

“Oh, yes, yes.”

Jo Chung-heon gave me a look that said, “He’s doing something strange again,” and left the room.

“Oh, oh my. Rather, kill me.”

Moon Il-ji cried out in agony. There was a real sincerity in his voice. He felt that it would be better to die. It seems that there was no exaggeration in his words, saying that the pain of loneliness can be compared to the torture of a person.

“Just stay still.”

I held him down with my other hand up to his neck and secured his hand.

I send a line of my internal energy to the vanguard through Moon Il-ji’s back. I closed my eyes to feel the internal energy better. Normally, if someone else’s internal energy enters the danjeon, it would cause internal injury or cause possession by fire, but this small amount was not a problem, and there was no need to send it to the danjeon.

The internal energy flows along the back’s poisonous veins to the Baihui point. When it reaches the Baihui point, my eyes open wide. As expected, the solitude also contains magic energy. I can feel the solitude clinging to my brain, bending my back, and releasing magic energy.

‘Is this a merchant or a doctor?’

I never thought I’d be able to heal someone twice using magic. If coincidences happen twice in a short period of time, it’s hard to see it as a coincidence. Is the Demonic Cult really doing something in Infinite?

I let the magic flow again. As I treated people, I learned that my magic can control other people’s magic. The leader of all magic. That was me.

The flowing magic reached his brain. Moon Il-ji could no longer breathe. Not only the magic of loneliness, but also my own magic was thick, so the pain his brain felt was even greater.

If I delay, Moon Il-ji may become an idiot. I quickly grabbed Solitude with my magic. Solitude shrank as soon as it felt my magic. It seemed as if it was waiting for an order. So it was easy to remove it. I removed the magic and sent it outside.

A disgusting, poisonous insect came out of Moon Il-ji’s nose along with snot. The poisonous insect, writhing in the sticky snot, had six eyes, three rows of two each, and six legs, six on each side, for a total of twelve. Just looking at it made you lose your appetite.

“Ugh.”

I tried to retrieve the magic from Moon Il-ji’s head and trample on Solitude, but Solitude struggled and died on its own.

After some time, Moon Il-ji, who had been struggling, blinked and got up from his seat. His face was covered in spit, snot, tears, and sweat, and I almost trampled on him again because I didn’t like the sight of him.

“what?”

Moon Il-ji frowned.

“what?”

“The pain suddenly disappeared. It was supposed to gradually get better.”

“Look at the floor next to you.”

“Ugh. What kind of bugs are these?”

“What was in your brain?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? How can you escape the loneliness that you once became a parasite to?”

“It’s gone. Right now. I can’t even feel the pain.”

“I think it’s because Moon-ju just doesn’t touch Mogo.”

Unfortunately, Moon Il-ji had become accustomed to the pain of loneliness. He had no hope of ever escaping loneliness. Once you become accustomed to pain, it is natural to become so.

“Take a closer look. Where can you find an insect that looks like this, just like you said?”

Only then did Moon Il-ji lie face down on the floor and examine the bug closely.

“… … It looks similar to Mogo.”

“That’s what I said.”

“Really? How? You killed loneliness? You?”

“I am the god of Hubei.”

It was a ridiculous statement, but for some reason it worked quite well. Moon Il-ji nodded seriously.

“Well, he’s the one who wiped out the epidemic that spread throughout the world, but is that possible? Then why are you doing the upper class? You can make a lot of money by doing medicine.”

“I don’t use my medical skills to make money.”

“… … Strange? He doesn’t seem like the type of person who would do that.”

“Should I put it back in your mouth?”

At my words, Moon Il-ji’s expression changed to a thoughtful one. Then, looking at the lonely figure trampled to death on the floor, he burst into laughter and eventually burst into laughter. I wondered if my magic had affected Moon Il-ji’s brain.

Moon Il-ji suddenly stood up. I sat down on my chair and looked up at Moon Il-ji.

“You said you wanted to conquer the Black Dragon Gate?”

“huh.”

“To be exact, wouldn’t it be enough to control the Black Dragon Gate? The Black Dragon Gate is standing on the opposite side of you right now.”

“That’s right. If the direction changes, there’s no reason to be hostile.”

“Okay. Just wait.”

After saying those words, Moon Il-ji suddenly closed the door and left. Then, not long after, the door opened again and Moon Il-ji returned.

“why?”

“I don’t think I said this.”

“what?”

“You are my savior.”

Moon Il-ji bowed deeply to me. The door was open, so the people above were all watching at that moment. When the people saw Moon Il-ji bowing to me, they were surprised.

“What is that now?”

“Moon Dae-hyeop is bowing?”

Moon Il-ji finished his deep bow politely, paying no attention to the crowd’s commotion.

“From now on, I will treat you as my older brother.”

“Brother? I feel like I’m much younger than you.”

“I’m twenty-five.”

Even I was shocked by those words. Anyone who looked at him would think he was in his 40s, but how could he be just past his prime?

Moon Il-ji left me in shock as he exited the upper room.

And soon after, rumors began to spread that the leader of the Black Dragon Clan had changed.

One of the actions was a killer.

***

“What? The journal disappeared?”

The Black Dragon Master hit the table and stood up. It was a weak punch so the sound wasn’t loud, and everyone just reacted as if it was starting again.

“I heard through the grapevine that Moon Dae-hyeop lost to Hwiyoungsangdanju.”

“That’s nonsense!”

Not only the Black Dragon Gate Master, but also the others did not believe those words. Who is Moon Il-ji? Isn’t he the best player in the Black Dragon Gate?

But people who heard the rumor began to appear one by one.

“But I heard it too.”

“Actually, I too… … .”

“It’s all just a rumor! How can a brat like the head of the Hwiyoungsangdan beat Moon Il-ji?”

Everyone nodded their heads in anticipation of the Black Dragon Gate Master’s shout. In fact, rumors in this Central Plains were not something to be trusted. There were rumors going around that someone had died, but it was not the first or second time that they had seen someone alive.

The fact that the Black Dragon Gate currently controls half of the Infinite Floor is also all thanks to Moon Il-ji. The Black Dragon Gate Master simply serves as Moon Il-ji’s ally.

In fact, there were many people in the Black Dragon Clan who thought that Moon Il-ji was the actual leader of the clan. It was just because Moon Il-ji treated the Black Dragon Clan leader as the leader of the clan. The Black Dragon Clan leader himself had little dignity.

“Moon Il-ji, this guy… … .”

The Black Dragon Lord clenched his fists and trembled, then jumped up and went into the Lord’s room.

The Black Dragon Gate’s Gate Master’s Room was a place where only the Gate Master and the Moon Il-sang could enter. People sighed as they looked at the Black Dragon Gate’s Gate Master’s Room.

When Moon-ju entered the room, Moon Il-ji would come in with a haggard expression. For those who respected Moon Il-ji more than Moon-ju, it was quite heartbreaking.

As expected, not long after, Moon Il-ji returned to the Black Dragon Gate. He had always come in with a haggard face, but today he looked even more haggard. As soon as Moon Il-ji returned, everyone clung to him.

“Moon Daehyeop!”

“As expected, you’re alive!”

“… … Um, yeah.”

Moon Il-ji answered indifferently. People thought Moon Il-ji was different from usual. Usually, when Moon Il-ji saw the people of Heukryongmun, he would ask them if they had eaten.

“Moon Daehyeop. There is a strange rumor going around the market right now.”

“What rumor? Oh, I think I know what it is.”

“Yes. Right now, Muhan is hot with that rumor. It’s a ridiculous rumor that the head of the Hwiyoung Group has defeated Moon Daehyeop. I think I should go to the guest house right now and sew up the mouths of those who are spreading that rumor.”

“No, that’s fine.”

Moon Il-ji scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“That’s true. He saved my life.”

“……yes?”

“What did you say?”

People doubted their ears at Moon Il-ji’s answer. How much did the reputation of the salt demon spread throughout Muhan? Moon Il-ji had protected Muhan by eliminating all the ronin and evil factions that flowed in from outside. But how could such a person lose to a mere lord, not even a famous evil faction or a righteous faction warrior?

“Anyway, I’m going in.”

“Oh, yes… … .”

People watched Moon Il-ji enter Moon’s office with a trembling expression. Not long after, a loud thud was heard. People closed their eyes tightly.

Usually, when Moon Il-ji entered the Moonjussil, such violence occurred. Naturally, the Moonju would hit Moon Il-ji. In fact, if you only look at the level of martial arts, people couldn’t understand why Moon Il-ji was right. They just thought it was because Moon Il-ji regarded the Black Dragon Moonju as his older brother.

“Your Majesty, you are going too far. To be honest, you are making a living because of Moon Dae-hyeop.”

“Shh. If you say that, won’t the Lord Moon have a seizure?”

“I thought it was all my fault.”

The people of the Black Dragon Gate were muttering. In any case, the level of the Black Dragon Gate Lord’s martial arts was low, so they were not sensitive enough to hear such low voices.

“Moon Dae-hyeop… … .”

People looked at the door with worried eyes. Soon, the door to the door opened.

Normally, it would have been normal for Moon Il-ji to come out with a nosebleed. However, unexpectedly, what came out of the door was Moon Il-ji grabbing Moon-ju’s hair. Moon-ju’s limbs were twisted in a direction that could not be broken. Everyone was sighing at the horrible sight.

“Phew.”

Moon Il-ji wiped the sweat off his hand as if it was refreshing.

“Moon Daehyeop over there.”

“why?”

“Is he dead?”

To the people, it looked like Moonju was dead. However, after a while, Moonju flinched and screamed. It seemed that he had fainted for a moment due to extreme pain. His mouth was filled with blood and his teeth were loose here and there. When he woke up again, he felt pain.

“Why are you killing me?”

Moon Il-ji smiled and stepped on the broken knee of the Black Dragon Gate Master. Another scream echoed through the Black Dragon Gate. It was a bone-chilling, terrifying scream.

“There is too much karma to grant eternal rest.”

People looked at Moon Il-ji in a dazed state. Moon Il-ji, who they had treated as an older brother and treated with all their might, suddenly turned the Black Dragon Gate Master into a mess, so they couldn’t understand the situation at all.

“Hey guys.”

“Yes, yes?”

“From today, the Black Dragon Gate is mine. Do you understand?”

“Is this what you are saying?”

But people didn’t care about the cause or process because the conclusion was what they wanted.

People cheered without knowing anything. Moon Il-ji smiled and stepped on the gate once more. The scream of the Black Dragon Gate lord echoed through the Black Dragon Gate once again.

It was the moment when all the infinite black waves entered under the Whiyoungdan.
