A few moments ago...
Wolryung who was staring at the scene, was completely stunned by it as Jin Ho got crushed to the sidewall in an instant.
“A-Ancestor...”
Still looking toward the scene with wide eyes, Wolryung called out to Cheon Jo who was right beside him.
“Can’t you do anything? At this rate...”
“I can.”
Cheon Jo, also looking forward with grim eyes, answered in a low voice.
“I can possess your body and fight that person. But if I do that you might die. You know your body’s condition isn’t...”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“...”
Cheon Jo was a bit surprised by that and looked at Wolryung.
“But...”
“Please don’t think too much, ancestor.”
Wolryung looked at Cheon Jo with a faint smile on his face.
“This is the only option we have.”
The scenery Wolryung saw in that dream. After witnessing that...
Did he really have any other choice?
Either way they were all gonna die. There was no way back. If he allows Cheon Jo to possess his body, at least the others will survive. That was for sure. And there was also a hope he also might survive. Well, even if he doesn’t survive that doesn’t matter. He had already died once. So, what will change if he dies again?
It doesn’t change anything.
And bringing Jin Ho here was his doing, after all. If he didn’t do that Jin Ho was never supposed to come here and die. So, basically by doing it he would be correcting his own mistakes.
Wolryung’s face was filled with determination now.
“Let’s do it, ancestor.”
Seeing a new side of Wolryung like this, Cheon Jo couldn’t say anything else and sighed softly.
“If you say that...”
“Do it already, old man!”
Wolryung, who looked all serious a moment ago, now looked like he would lose his sanity any moment.
“...”
‘I was a fool to think he had changed.’
***
Present time...
“Acting up in front of a kid, are you?”
Everyone looked at Wolryung...
No, everyone looked at Cheon Jo who had possessed Wolryung’s body now.
“You should go hang up yourself to a tree and die.”
At that exact moment...
“Ahhhhhh! What the f*ck?! It hurts like hell!”
“...”
Cheon Jo was taken aback by the sudden scream reaching his ear. He looked at Wolryung with a stiff face who was in ghost form right now.
“Of course it will hurt. What do you expect to happen when you haven’t used any martial art your entire life?”
“...”
Hearing that, Wolryung’s face went dark.
Well, it was true. As the original owner of the body, the novel’s Ma Wolryung never used martial arts; it was bound to hurt like hell if Cheon Jo had moved even an inch using martial arts. However, Wolryung already knew that and in the first place that wasn’t the problem here. The real problem was...
Wolryung shouted loudly at Cheon Jo.
“You’re the one using the body now. So, why the hell am I the one feeling the pain?!”
“...”
Hm... Good logic. But Cheon Jo didn’t feel like explaining and shouted back.
“Shut up, brat!”
“Huh?”
Wolryung was a bit surprised as Cheon Jo who just shouted at him didn’t even open his mouth.
“What the hell?! How did you talk without using your mouth?!”
“...”
“It’s sound transmission technique, brat. You can send... No, why the hell does it matter now?! Just don’t open your mouth until the battle ends!”
“...”
But Wolryung talked again with a blank expression.
“At least tell me why the hell am I feeling the pain instead of you?”
‘This bastard!’
Cheon Jo was frustrated enough to go crazy any moment. Well, but he couldn’t help it. If he doesn’t answer him, this bastard won’t let him fight in peace. So, with an annoyed voice he answered.
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re the true owner of the body, not me. So of course, even if I use the body, you’re the one who will feel the pain.”
“...”
There was silence for a moment.
“What shitty logic is...?”
“Enough! Can’t you see, we are in a battle right now?!”
“...”
Ah, right! They were in a battle.
Cheon Jo, feeling a bit peaceful now, looked toward the old man.
The old man, still surprised by the situation he was in, was staring at Cheon Jo with eyes filled with countless thoughts.
He was sure that when he first arrived here that boy in the front was nothing but an ordinary person. Well, his presence still felt ordinary.
But the fact that he stopped his sword by tossing another sword toward him...
There was no way any normal human could do that.
“Who are you?”
“Hmm... Why should I tell you?”
Cheon Jo answered with a blank expression.
“...”
The old man frowned at this.
“This...”
But at that exact moment a sword appeared in his vision again.
It was Jin Ho.
He didn’t know how his young master did that earlier. But he couldn’t let his young master fight in his place.
Clenching his teeth Jin Ho swung his sword with all the strength he had left.
“Die...”
“How foolish!”
With his face going dark, the old man was ready to strike back and kill Jin Ho in one single attack. However, Cheon Jo was already there, stopping Jin Ho, touching his shoulder softly.
“Kid... It’s ok. You can rest now. I’ll take the lead from here.”
The old man was taken aback by this. While Jin Ho looked at Cheon Jo with dead eyes.
“Young... master...”
Jin Ho didn’t want to give up. His young master never wielded a sword in his entire life. So, it was obvious that his young master would die instantly if he fought the old man. But something was different about his young master now. Something he couldn’t tell but feel. Jin Ho’s strength that he was getting by the willpower he had started vanishing slowly.
“Please... just... stay alive, broth...”
With that Jin Ho fell to the ground.
“...”
What a strange kid?!
Well, talented people were always strange. And that’s why they were called geniuses.
‘Rest for now, kid...’
Cheon Jo turned toward the old man now.
“Shall we begin then?”
The final fight starts now.
