⚠️CAUTION ⚠️ NOVEL SPOILER


Late in the night...

"Aaaaaaaah !!!"

The cry woke up all the disciples of mount Hua in fear. The horrible sound was carrying such a feeling of terror, despair and pain !

But what made the disciples jump on their feets and draw their swords in panic was the one who was screaming...

Chung Mung...

Baek Chong reached for him, he wanted to grab the shoulder of his Sajil who was sitting on blankets alongside the campfire...

"Fuck off !!!"

He froze. This asura was alwais throwing any sort of insults to their faces, but it was not the same. The violence in his words made he flinch.

And then he realized, in the uncertain light of the campfire, big tears were rolling down on his cheeks as he was hiding his eyes with his hand.

Ju Geol muttered in shock

"Chung Mung..."

"What are you looking at, you bastards !?!"

But his voice was broken, and he couldn't stop stop the trembling of his body...

"You had a nightmar..?"

Baek Chong spoke uncertainly, not knowing what to  do. Why was this devil crying like a little kid ? He felt an unknown pain in hid chest as he watched his Sajil being that helpless.

"Tell us what is the matter..."

"Fuck it !!!"

He got up and vanished in the night.



Chung Mung stopped in the dark night without moon, in the forest...

"Brother Jangmun..."

He collapsed on his knees.

« I'm sorry... I'm so sorry brothers , I should had saved you all... »

His memories, his guilt... It was all mixing and screaming in his head, but his nightmare has made it so alive... He couldn't bear it. He lost it.

' Taoist Hung, take care of my familly... '

« I'm sorry Tang Bo... you sould have been able to do it yourself... »

His voice drowned in sobs... 

" If I was stronger that day... If I could have killed the heavenly demon alone... none of you  would have died..."

Yu Iseo was clenching her hands on her lips, hidden behind a tree.



« Sahung ? Are you sleeping ? »

« No... »

None of the disciples were asleep. How could they ? With the picture of Cheong Meyong crying and sobbing still fresh in their minds ?

« He must have seen something awful... »

« What could make him cry like that, Sasuk ? »

Baek Cheong shook his head in disbelief...

« Don't you think it's somehow  funny ? The man we don't even dream touching defeated by a nightmare... »

None of them laughed, neither they smiled. Their sajil was in pain and they couldn't help him. I fact he even rejected them...

« Sasuk, should we not be looking for Cheong Meyong ..? 

Yu Iseol suddenly appeared behind him, even more gloomy then usual...

« Not the right time »



The next morning Cheong Meyong was here, smiling and laughing like nothing happened at all.

« Dong Ryong, why are you so grumpy ? You had a bad night ? »

« And you, how was your sleep? »

His face darkened

« Sasuk... I was trying to not pass my anger on you, for once... Do you really want to push your luck? »

« Please, tell us, you were so... »

« We know we can't do much, but talking about it can help you clear your mind.. »

« Amitabha, inner peace sometimes comes from the outside «

Cheong Meyong sighted. Could he really tell them ?

« I-I saw my family getting killed... again... It's always the same dream... »

« But... I thought you were a beggar..? »

« I ended up in streets because they all died... »

It was maybe not the truth but it was not a lie neither

« We are... sorry... » 

« It was not that bad... I see it every single time I close my eyes...  But this time...You too, were killed in my dream ... »

He looked to the side, avoiding the gases of the disciples of mount Hua

« I lost everything once... so nothing will happened to you. As long as I live no one will hurt you... »

And suddenly, he felt the arms of the disciplels of mount Hua squeezeing him.

Baek Cheong, as he was hugging him said

"We are your sasuks, we should protect you..."

"sigh... I think you didn't undersand a thing... No one will hurt you, exept me..."

"Fuck it, you will not ruine the mood !"

Chung Mung left it go, it was not like it could kill him.

' Just un case you were worried about me Sahung, the kids are lovely...'
