Return to War Episode

There is a man sitting down holding a knife. His entire body was drenched in blood, and his eyes were shining red as if they were covered in prominence, instilling fear in those who saw him.
The man looked down at his hands.
The blood was red.
I laughed while looking at it and wiped my face without hesitation. Even if that wasn’t the case, his bloody face became even more hideous.
“It’s bland.”
A word I blurted out.
what does it mean?
The man’s eyes turned to his surroundings.
My field of vision was filled with so many people that I couldn’t even count them. All of the people lying around were out of their minds.
They were all torn, cut, and torn.
Dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? No, it could have been tens of thousands.
No one made even a movement, as if the man sitting alone was breathing.
There was no way the corpses could move.
Choi Hong’s talent throughout the world.
The strongest man in all times and times.
People called him Mugeukshinma (Martial God Demon).
The man suddenly stood up from his seat.
Slowly walking towards the other side of the light, he was confident and possessed an unassailable dignity, as if he owned the whole world.
What the heck!
However, at some point, the body of the man who was walking froze. The man who had turned into a huge block of ice stopped in place.
In front of him were eight people, men, women and children, who had suddenly appeared.
Some appeared in the clouds, some in the ground, and others with the wind.
That aspect gave me a strong feeling that it was not human or human at all.
Strange, like a sage.
They had sad expressions as they looked at the horribly torn bodies scattered around them.
“Tsk tsk-.”
There were also people who turned their heads and clicked their tongues as if they couldn’t bear to see it.
“I feel sick!” “There is no one who can stop the killing!”
“It’s so heartbreaking! “You can’t kill anyone!”
The two oldest of the eight got into trouble. The space shook violently as if it were vibrating from a sound so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth.
The two old men, with their eyes wide open, look at the frozen Mageuk God Demon and then turn their backs.
“Enclose in the deepest part of East Jeongho Lake!”
The six good men bowed their heads deeply.
Aeyang located in the north of Hunan Province.
The stream flowing next to the castle was a tributary of Dongdong Lake to the north.
It was larger and more prosperous than other castles as many people visited it every year to see Dongjeongho Lake.
Thanks to this, most of the people living here do not go hungry.
It was quite famous as a tourist destination and it was easy to find a job if you wanted to, so there were almost no beggars.
In the middle of such a bustling village, a man was sitting down as if he was tired, wearing an old cloth that he didn’t know where he got it from.
Everyone passing by glanced at him.
It was because of the strange atmosphere felt by the man.
“Time flows like the wind flows.”
The man with his head down muttered.
That one word contained a sense of desperation. His eyes were empty, as if he had lost something, and the words he spoke were full of emptiness.
In fact, the man lost everything.
There was nothing in the man.
A wry smile appeared on his face as he lowered his head. Because his situation was so pitiful.
‘There really is nothing left.’
The man raised his head with a self-deprecating laugh.
Eight Immortals (八仙).
They were good men who protected this central plain.
That didn’t change the fact that they were only preoccupied with eating and having fun, and being stabbed in the back by those people cracked his pride.
‘No, I was lacking.’
Without knowing how high the sky was, it flew wild in all directions.
His innate natural instinct made him even more vicious, and the surrounding environment violently grabbed and shook the vicious man, sending the world into a tailspin.
Without blinking an eye, he destroyed the world, killed his enemies, and played with the times.
In the end, he spent a thousand years trapped in ice by the Eight Immortals.
The time that passed was too long to be described in words. The fact that he was experiencing it himself made the man feel even more empty.
No one knew anymore, and there were no people left behind.
It has to be that way.
Because there is no human being who has lived for a thousand years.
15 days like that.
Dan Woo-hyeon met the child every day and ate the food the child brought.
That day was a bright sunny day.
The sun was shining so hot that it was difficult to believe that it had just begun spring, and the sky was clear and blue without a single cloud.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who always looked for isolated places without people, moved for the first time in a long time and headed to the low street. There wasn’t any particular plan.
I really simply wanted to walk.
“Hey you crazy bitch!”
The moment I entered that street, I stopped. I saw a person yelling and a child with a familiar face crouching down.
There were several dumplings clutched in his arms.
He crouched down even more to protect the dumplings, as if he didn’t want to get them dirty. It was because of this that the wounds all over the child’s body did not heal and continued to appear.
Dan Woo-hyeon was momentarily speechless.
‘Was it stolen...?’
When a child begs, he receives sympathy from people. Adults can get more than if they beg. Therefore, Dan Woo-hyeon only thought that was the case and did not think that it was stolen.
I suddenly got irritated.
For fifteen days he lived off of the things the boy brought him. I didn’t even know how I got it, so I just took what was given to me and got through each day like that.
I didn’t like it.
Why is that so?
Dan Woo-hyeon, who had never received sympathy from anyone, approached the child. It was the moment when the man was about to give a sharp kick to the child.
Byak-!
“Kwaaaak!”
Dan Woo-hyeon also kicked the man’s feet. The sound of bones breaking was heard and a scream came from the man’s mouth. It was clear who was at fault, but that didn’t matter to Dan Woo-hyeon.
The child screamed and rolled around on the floor, and the child looked up at Dan Woo-hyeon with a dazed expression at the sudden sound.
In a situation where many people were watching, Dan Woo-hyeon stared at the child for a while and then turned his back.
We couldn’t be together anymore.
I walked, ignoring the child’s pitiful gaze.
I heard the sound of the child standing up in a hurry, but I ignored that too. Because I hoped that I and that child, who was causing trouble, would no longer be involved.
I just took a quick step.
In fact, even I had no idea where to go. Because I couldn’t find a place that could fill the emptiness of a thousand years.
But it was impossible to just stop here.
I just walked.
Follow the wind, follow the clouds.
And at some point you come to your senses.
“Dong Jeong-ho....”
It appeared.
The huge lake seemed endless.
It was a space of such silence that one could not even imagine that one had sunk to the deepest depths of this place.
The more I thought about it, the funnier it became.
This Dan Woo-hyeon, who was praised as a martial god....
“I was trying to shake it off, but instead you are holding me back.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Dong Jeong-ho with a puzzled expression. I thought I would never see Dong-ho Lee again, but before I knew it, my steps were heading towards this place again.
I turned my head, thinking that this was truly ridiculous. At the end of my gaze , I saw a child breathing
heavily, as if he had followed Dan Woo-hyeon in a hurry.
My feet were already covered in blood.
There is no way a child can follow the footsteps of an adult who walks quickly. Dan Woo-hyeon thought as he looked at the child. Why are they chasing me so persistently?
Isn’t it all about just giving one treatment? However, the child appeared blindly, as if he would give everything, including his liver and gallbladder.
I didn’t like that, so I frowned and asked.
“Why are you chasing me?”
“...Ho... I don’t want to be alone... anymore...”
The child’s words touched my heart.
I don’t like being alone.
Dan Woo-hyeon had never used the word ‘together’ ever since he was a child.
He was always independent and always lonely.
Because of this, it was not easy to understand the child’s heart, but his genuine warmth was conveyed.
The child reached out and grabbed Dan Woo-hyeon’s collar.
“Don’t go...”
The words heard through tears shook my heart again. As I pictured the situation where I was being beaten, my grip naturally tightened.
If all of this is fate and fate with this child.
“name is?”
“Hwa... Hwa So-mi....”
“Yes, I am Dan Woo-hyeon.”
I stretched out my hand with a slightly selfish thought that this child might be the one to create the space where Dan Woohyun needed to be, and a warm feeling of wanting to protect him.
The outstretched hand stroked the child’s head.
“Why don’t you come with me?”
