Requiem of Subdued Souls

Chapter 84: Flute Of Foreboding (4)

At the same time, things were becoming more unusual for the Blue Dragon True Troops.

“Why did you burn my music sheets?”

Seo Jun asked again.

The emotion in his eyes was hostile. Seol Young hesitated.

‘How do I answer?’

He didn’t change his thoughts about the responsibility he wanted to take, but he was worried about how to respond back to Seo Jun, who seemed clearly hostile.

At that time…

“Seo Jun-rang.”

Zaha suddenly came out and said,

“You left and came back, so not everything will be the same as before.”

Seo Jun was surprised only then.

“Governor.”

He put aside his angry expression and bowed.

“You came here. It was such a pity that we had to part ways at Mount Danseok yesterday suddenly…”

He said it with a smile on his face, then paused.

“Mount Danseok? Wait, was I drinking there?”

“What Danseok? Yesterday, we met at the place next to the bridge.”

“Ah! Right!”

Seo Jung’s face was blank again.

“But what are you talking about?”

“The music sheets. But it was because of a fire. Forget about it. I will ask for the music sheets to be made.”

“No.”

“Then go buy some alcohol.”

“No.”

Seo Jun blankly replied.

“I shouldn’t drink alcohol.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. I just feel like I keep forgetting something. Something…”

“Something…?”

“No one should come close to me…”

Seo Jun began to back away. His lips twitched as if he wanted to say something.

What was he trying to say?

Seol Young stared at him.

And his lips that were struggling finally made a sound.

It was not a word.

But a whistle.

Seo Jun tried several times to make a sound, then shook his head.

“It isn’t working well.”

And he looked at his younger brother.

“You remember? When you were seven years old, the two of us went somewhere together.”

Seo Jun asked.

“Remember?”

“…”

“Remember!”

Seo Jun shouted.

An unknown aura thickened around him. It looked like he would lose himself soon.

“…It should have been…”

He raised his empty eyes and mumbled. And then he tried to whistle again.

“Seo Jun-rang.”

Zaha spoke calmly.

“What happened to what I ordered? I told you to find out who harmed the people in Angang.”

“Ah.”

Seo Jung’s expression changed again.

His eyes brightened and went back to normal again. The dangerous atmosphere disappeared.

“Right. You told me to go and take a look…”

“So, did you go there?”

“T-That….”

“Did you forget again?”

“N-No….”

“Let’s go inside and talk.”

“Yes.”

Zaha took him and turned around. Everyone sighed, but at that moment, they suddenly witnessed the door of the hall open.

They could see a tablet on a wooden platform.

It was the memorial tablet of his father, and next to it was a memorial tablet with Seo Jun’s name written on it.

There was no time to stop him.

Seo Jun’s gaze was nailed in that spot.

“That…?”

“It is nothing!”

Zaha said so, but it was too late. Upon seeing his name on the memorial tablet, he felt frustrated.

The light in his eyes shone.

“Kuaaak!”

A groan erupted from his mouth, and he went berserk as he swung his huge claws.

“Hyung!”

Seo Geom couldn’t stand it any longer and drew his sword.

“Why are you doing this? Is it still not enough after the disgrace you caused our family? How long will you be doing this?”

He cried out loudly, and at that moment, Seo Jun hesitated.

However, he screamed and attacked Seo Geom. Before there was even time to respond, he picked up his younger brother and threw him away.

Seo Geom’s body landed on the ground.

“Demon Resisting Godly Palm!”

At the same time, Seol Young activated his technique.

A topless giant had appeared, pressing Seo Jun down.

But what was this?

Seo Jun’s claws cut him down.

‘As expected….’

He was becoming stronger with time.

If one could get out of the constraints of their original space, then it would be even more troublesome.

“Seo Jun-rang! Get yourself together!”

Zaha brandished his sword and attacked. It wasn’t to hurt the man, but to subdue him.

However, there was no way Seo Jun could understand it, so he just rushed over.

“I said, get yourself together!”

Seo Geom jumped up.

“Everyone attack!”

He shouted while wiping the blood from his mouth.

“That is not the Seo Jun-rang whom you know. Kill him!”

Everyone jumped in, and a chaotic situation began. The techniques of the Blue Dragon Troops poured out, but Seo Jun was too swift. Flashing in the east and then in the west, he was able to trample on them.

“Seol Young-rang! Try luring him!”

Zaha shouted.

Seol Young summoned the Thunder God.

Right in front of Seo Jun, blue lightning flashed. Seo Jun tried to avoid it, but Zaha blocked him.

He used a sharp sword attack, and Seo Jun was surrounded.

“Got him!”

Many shouted.

But at that time, a large stone lantern flew up from where Seo Jun was.

Seo Jun, who was driven to a corner, showed his wit. He blocked Zaha’s attack and, at the same time, attacked the side.

“Ah!”

Everyone fled in surprise.

In the meantime, Seo Jun quickly turned to the back.

“He is running away!”

“Stop him!”

Seo Geom gritted his teeth and shouted.

“Never let him go out! No matter what!”

“Yes!”

Everyone ran after Seo Jun.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Blue Dragon Hall, two disciples stood in front of the tightly closed door. Because they were given an order by Seo Geom, they guarded it with a stern face.

They looked to the side at the same time, and there were people coming up along the mountain road.

They were Hwarangs in white and black patterned robes. Then the faces of the disciples changed.

“Aren’t those Baek Eon-rang, Song Ok-rang, and Hyo Wol-rang?”

They politely bowed.

“What are you doing at our hall?”

Baek Eon, who received their greetings, said,

“I came here to talk about something with Seo Geom-rang.”

The two disciples went pale.

“I am sorry, but our hall is currently closed due to some circumstances. No one can go inside until our leader gives us the order.”

“But this is important. Go and tell Seo Geom-rang that Baek Eon has come to meet him.”

The two disciples had troubled looks on their faces.

“We cannot do that. We have been ordered not to let anyone in.”

Baek Eon spoke again, maintaining a soft tone.

“Aren’t the entire troops of the Hwarangs one? If there is something big going on inside, the three of us will do our best to take it down. If Seo Geom-rang understands our intentions, he will not say anything. If he shouts at the two of you, I will take full responsibility.”

And then he stepped forward, but the disciples blocked him right away.

“No! It is not possible at all!”

It felt like something really bad was happening. Baek Eon was trying to stay as calm as he could, but he was becoming more and more suspicious.

‘Are they really doing something unjust?’

On the other hand, Song Ok and Hyo Wol were losing it.

“What is Seo Geom-rang intending to do? The Hwarangs have to be fair in everything, so what the hell is this secret thing that is happening?”

Song Ok spoke harshly.

“Baek Eon-rang is on the same level as Seo Geom-rang! Even if you are from the Blue Dragons! Are you saying that you will listen to the words of one leader and not the other?”

Hyo Wol also protested.

The two of them were the type to speak first and listen later.

As they raised their voices loudly, the two disciples were losing it. But still, they held their ground.

“It is not possible! Well, even if you say that! Absolutely not!”

While arguing like that, a noise suddenly rose from inside the fence, with people shouting and swords clashing.

And all three of them were surprised.

When they looked up at the roof, it was sparkling. A blue light flashed.

“…!”

All three of their faces changed.

Wasn’t that Seol Young’s technique?

“Are you still going to stop us?”

They broke through the door, and it was a mess inside. Swords flashed in all directions, with the Blue Dragon Troops lying here and there.

Song Ok grabbed one of them.

“Where is Seol Young-rang?”

“T-That….”

The Hwarang was out of breath, and it was then….

“This way! Catch him!”

“Do not let him escape!”

They heard the commotion. And the three hurriedly ran towards it.

The moment they arrived in the backyard, they saw a shadow in front of their eyes. And all of the Hwarangs were chasing after it.

“Stop!”

Baek Eon blocked their path.

Song Ok and Hyo Wol hurled themselves to surround the shadow.

“Seol Young-ah! We are here! It is alright!”

They grabbed the arm of the shadow and looked at it.

At that moment, he raised his head, and through his hair, they could see his eyes were shining.

“Euk! What is this?”

Song Ok and Hyo Wol screamed at the same time.
