Chapter 214 – Chapter 214- True Blood (7)

I, who dedicated blood and heard various plans from Kim Ji-hye.

I went straight to her father’s funeral home.

Since it was a three-day market, today was the last day at the funeral home.

It was a little late, but I was able to arrive just in time.

“Are you here?”

“Yeah, sorry I’m a little late.”

Leaving behind Areumi who greeted me, I silently looked at Darae who was holding his sword.

Darae calmly blinked her scarlet eyes as if she had decided on something.

“Hanjun, did you finish well?”

It’s not detailed, but I told everyone the situation in my own way.

Darae asked me how I was when I arrived.

I gave an affirmative answer and took a sneak peek at Darae.

“……”

Darae’s eyes were wide open as if he hadn’t slept once since he slept with me.

His lively red lips were also slightly dry, which naturally showed that he had put all his effort into it.

“Let’s finish well here too.”

“Okay.”

Hasty encouragement did not help Darae at all.

When I told him to just finish well, Darae touched his sword with a dry smile.

So, Darae led us and headed to the empty lot in the main house.

It was a huge vacant lot.

In the past, the entire clan must have trained here, and there was a place to lay the sword on one side of the clearing.

And in the middle of the clearing, a coffin made of weaving something like grass was lifted high.

“Young master.”

We were greeted by an old woman who we presumed had helped with the funeral.

Darae nodded to the old woman, and he looked back at us.

“I’m going to send my father the way the Sword Demon clan did. Can you quietly watch over me from here?”

Without saying anything, we immediately nodded.

Darae then grabbed the sword hanging from his waist and slowly headed towards the center of the clearing where the coffin was placed.

“Father.”

Darae silently called her father who was in the coffin.

“Now these are my father’s last moments. Me and some of my friends in a big clearing.”

Darae put on a dejected expression and asked a question to his father, who had no answer.

“Dad, are you satisfied with this moment?”

Darae’s tone, which felt so lonely, made me look back on this situation without even realizing it.

The clan was used as a throwaway card by the evil forces, but in an instant, it swelled in size with Da-Yoon Cheok’s outstanding work.

However, the same clan lost everything due to Chuck Dayoon.

The fact that we were the only ones in the magnificent building of the main house and the large empty lot in between.

Strangely, it matched the situation of the lonely sword demon clan.

Darae headed to the place where he laid his sword, and grabbed one of his swords.

Then he returned to the coffin and told his father.

“From the moment you didn’t even hold the sword.”

Darae pulled out the dusty sword at once and put it in the coffin politely.

“I knew right away that my father didn’t like to hold a sword. Since when, was it when he felt inferior to my mother? Or after seeing Chuck Dayoon wield a sword.”

Darae looked into the coffin with calm scarlet eyes.

Of course, I didn’t hear the answer, but Darae continued talking as if it didn’t matter.

“You don’t have a favorite sword, so I’m sending you a sword from my family. No matter how much you hate swords, since you’re the father of the Sword Demon Clan, I think it’s better to stick to the tradition.”

Darae slowly withdrew from the coffin.

Then he bowed once, then slowly drew his sword.

Sereung.

The sword in Darae’s left hand was dyed red, and the sword in his right hand was dyed with cool energy.

Sunjang Sword and Moonlight Sword.

The two swordsmanships passed down only to the eldest daughter and the deficit of the sword demon clan were unfolding in Darae’s hands at the same time.

That look was quite familiar.

This is because Cheok Da-yoon, like Darae, has two swords with two energies.

Last minute.

Just like the tradition of the Sword Demon clan, which burns or disappears corpses with the best swordsmanship that can be delivered in one blow.

Darae was preparing the best blow he had.

‘No way.’

Let’s mumble in our hearts without even knowing.

As if answering my thoughts, he slowly clashed the two swords.

Woo-woo-!

A low, vibrating sound resounded that made the body tremble.

At the same time, the red and blue energy of the sword body was unified into one color.

Off-white black.

It was the sword skill that Chuck Da-yoon had seen in the cave.

Even Kim Ji-hye’s magic cut through at once, the absurd sword spirit was manifested in Darae’s sword.

That buck

Darae put one foot back and took up the posture to wield his sword.

Darae’s lips looked at the coffin and muttered something.

“Father.”

Perhaps because it was a whisper, Darae’s voice could not be heard.

“My father didn’t look at me until the last moment.”

Whoa-!

The grayish-white blackness intensified.

“I was always absent from my father’s eyes. Father, I hated the sword demon clan. This clan that drove my sister to death. I hated this clan that always made me live as a boy, not my true self.”

The appearance of Darae, who had completely forged his momentum, was like a sword.

“But now I want to be part of that clan. Either to ask Dayoon Chuck, or to reclaim my lost time.”

Chuck Darae laughed bitterly.

“I will become a swordsman, father.”

Seobik.

Gray-white black streaks stretched out.

It’s like drawing a brush with ink on white drawing paper.

Darae’s sword skills embroidered the empty vacant lot.

Woo woo woo woo-!

It sounds like someone’s cry or someone’s wail.

At some point, Darae crossed his coffin and was slowly inserting his sword into his scabbard.

Clap.

The sound of Darae inserting his sword filled the empty space.

Nothing existed in the clearing.

Just like it was from the beginning.

After the funeral, Darae came to us with a strange expression on his face.

“Everyone has suffered.”

Darae’s expression seemed sad or calm.

* *

After the funeral

The old woman who helped with the funeral said she would cook dinner for the last time, so we ended up having dinner together at the Sword Demon clan.

We were silent as we waited for our food in an empty restaurant that was overly spacious like the main building.

Glance.

Everyone didn’t show it, but everyone was watching Darae.

I also had a lot to say.

In front of Darae, who has just finished the funeral, I want to erase the burden by bringing up such a story.

It subtly led to a different conversation.

But perhaps he noticed my thoughts, Darae told me.

“It’s okay to talk.”

“… Okay?”

“I’m really fine. It’s an important fact that everyone should hear anyway.”

Result of hemorrhage.

It was something that everyone who knew the rough situation would be curious about.

In the end, if I was more considerate of Darae here, it would have resulted in ignoring Darae.

I explained what happened today.

From meeting with the evil forces to devoting blood.

I, who not only told them what had happened, but also the simple power structure, looked around at everyone.

“Something doesn’t feel right.”

Miho smiled bitterly and waggled his tail.

“I knew right away that the situation could turn out like this. But when it comes to the results, I don’t really feel it.”

I nodded, as if I understood.

“So do I. But now it’s definitely going to happen, so we should prepare.”

I looked around everyone.

Vacation is almost over now.

Everyone here was in a state of growth that was incomparable to before the vacation.

Miho, who became Oh Miho, and Seolhee, who regained the origins of the Snow Woman.

Kim Cha-ryeok, who learned solar and taijiquan, and Darae, who exudes the same sword spirit as Cheok Da-yun.

Really, everyone was recording a crazy growth trend that could not be distinguished.

I also became stronger than before vacation.

So, I had no choice but to ask everyone at this point.

“What are you going to do?”

“What do you mean?”

Kim Cha-ryeok asked me what he was talking about.

“War. Whether or not to join the war, you guys have to choose.”

It was a serious statement in its own way, but Kim Cha-ryeok asked me what he was talking about.

“Hanjun, didn’t we already kill Merlin?”

“……”

That’s right.

It was as if he had already naturally participated in the war.

When I looked at Kim Cha-ryeok with an apologetic look, Kim Cha-ryeok laughed heartily.

“Why are you making that face? It’s true that close friends are always together until the end, so stop making that face. Hanjun.”

“Okay, thank you.”

It was comforting to see him twitching his muscles as usual.

And as soon as Kim Cha-ryeok finished talking, Ah-reum started talking to me.

“Me too, me too, older brother. Up until now, I’ve only received from my older brother, so of course I have to help for my brother’s sake as well.”

“Thank you.”

“What is it, brother?”

Seeing Areumie smiling lightly, a hearty smile came out.

“Han Jun-ah, you know we cooperated with the shadow family, right?”

Frown

Miho gave me a meaningful smile.

“That… Then.”

“All the older sisters will cooperate, so don’t worry. The whole house is talking about you.”

“Kuhm.”

With Miho’s red eyes slightly burning behind him, he looked at Seolhee.

Seolhee nodded her head chicly, as if asking what she was asking.

“Thank you.”

Now there was only one person left.

I tried to say that it was okay to express my opinion later, because it was Darae who had suffered so far.

Darae expressed his opinion even before I could spit out my words.

“I’ll join in too. There are also mistakes we made in the past. In order to rectify that, we should join. Besides…”

Darae’s wide eyes turned to me.

“Now, all I have left is this.”

“Yes?”

“I mean close friends. And the friendship of a man.”

Darae’s eyes stared at me.

Faced with a strangely intense gaze, I realized that Darae had mixed nonsense.

“Thank you, Darae.”

“Well, when it comes to friendship between men, this is of course…”

As if Darae was about to tap my shoulder, he raised his hand.

However, perhaps because it was too much work so far, Darae’s body suddenly slanted.

“Uh… Uh huh?”

Like that, Darae fell over and buried his face in my lower body.

I was startled and tried to pick up the iron.

Darae must have lost his strength, and he buried his face in my lower body while drooping.

Fortunately, it wasn’t on the crotch side, but it could have been strange to others.

Embarrassed, I lifted Darae’s armpit.

“It’s okay?”

“Mi… I’m sorry, I’m so confused.”

Darae held his head in his hand and apologized to me.

Everyone thought it was just a happening, but only one person.

Only one person was looking at me with strange eyes.

Kim Cha-ryeok.

He was staring at me with mysterious eyes, as if he was scared.

“Hanjun… Isn’t it? Tell me no.”

“……”

Only then did I realize why Kim Cha-ryeok was doing that.

If I had just been a real man, I wouldn’t have the same reaction now.

It was normal to react genuinely with horror and to have to hurriedly pull the iron up.

It would have been that way not too long ago.

However, Darae’s two large breasts were still clearly visible in my mind.

“No.”

Looking at Kim Cha-ryeok, who was still looking at me with suspicious eyes.

I emphatically expressed my opinion.

“……”

“No.”

To the guy who curled his eyebrows, I affirmed once more.
