Red Storm Chapter 120

Book 4-1.2

“That old man left to figure out his own Heaven’s Mandate. And you followed your Heaven’s Mandate to get here.”

“I do not understand anything you are saying.”

“Do not be too curious or try to find out. That is not your destiny. I will tell you what you need to do upstairs.”

The old woman grabbed Yulian’s hand before starting to speak again.

“And up we go.”

“Ah!”

Yulian shouted out in surprise. His body was flying up at a fast speed.

“Why are you getting surprised at something like this? Old man Chun walked up the side of this wall.”

“You mean this wall over here?”

“Yes.

He walked up like that all the way to the hundredth floor that I

questioned my eyes. They must have that kind of talent in the

foreigner’s world.”

Yulian was thinking that he really couldn’t

consider his master in terms of human limits. He felt like five floors

would be the limit for himself.

“But doesn’t it feel nice?Using

levitation (One of the middle-tier magic. SImilar to the magic that is

inscribed in the Desert Runner) to go up this high is not something just

anybody can do. Huehue.”

The old woman was speaking as if it was

amusing, but it was not the case for Yulian. When he moved his head to

look down, it was scary for even Yulian, who did not fear many things.

‘There won’t be anything left of me if I fall from this height.’

While

Yulian was having that type of thought, the old woman and Yulian had

pierced through the clouds and arrived at the top floor of the Magic

Tower. Yulian felt a bit relieved once he felt the solid flooring

underneath his feet again, but just looking down from the balcony was

still pretty scary.

“The world is so small when you look at it

from here. I don’t understand why everyone is so anxious to go to war

and kill each other.”

Yulian started to speak at the old woman’s mumblings.

“Each person has their reason. There are no battles without reason.”

“Regardless, they’re only going to be alive for about a hundred years.”

Yulian

was not feeling good because he felt like the words the old woman was

saying were directed at him, asking why he continued to fight.

“I must have upset you.”

“No. I am just telling you how I feel.”

“I

guess people have to follow the will of the heavens and your mandate

from heaven is that of war. Why they gave you such a brutal mandate, tsk

tsk tsk.”

Yulian saw the old woman clicking her tongue and started to ask.

“What does that mean? Are you saying I am destined to always be at war?”

The old woman nodded her head but did not respond.

“Please explain it to me in detail, senior.”

“In

the world, there are quite a lot of people. But not everyone is the

same. There are people who know something and those who don’t, the ones

who can move and the one who cannot, the ones who can defend and the

ones who cannot. And finally, the chosen ones and the not chosen ones.”

The old woman rubbed her staff. Almost as if she was giving Yulian some time to think it over.

She then slowly started to speak again.

“If

there are 10,000,000 people in the world, about 100,000 know something,

about 1,000 can move, about 100 people can defend, and only 1 will be

the chosen one. That is the ratio that has not changed among people and

part of destiny.”

Yulian could not understand anything she was saying.

“Please explain it in simple terms.”

“I

am explaining it in a way for you to understand. How nice would it be

if that punk Mai explained everything to you beforehand? He knows about

everything.”

The old woman started to grumble.

“People

receive their destiny based on this ratio. But in order to return to the

will of the world, you need a somewhat special destiny. Within it, a

destiny is created where the person living a mundane life is the

happiest.”

“Hmm. So you are saying out of 10 million people, the heavens only give a special destiny to 10,000 people?”

The

desert tribes each believed in a guardian of the tribe, and believed in

destiny. There were plenty of things to make them feel that way as men

who were born in the desert to fight as warriors.

The old woman stared at Yulian as if she was trying to pierce him with her gaze and started to speak.

“That is why the destiny of the twelve chosen ones are so shitty.”

“Are you perhaps saying I am one of those twelve people?”

The old woman did not turn her gaze away from Yulian and answered.

“To put it simply, yes. Aizen, who came with you, is also a chosen one as well.”

“We need to fight in wars because we were chosen?”

“Rather

than war, it is better to say you fight to protect. Didn’t Mai tell

you? In the middle of the desert is the center of the rift.”

‘The Monster’s Desert.’

Since he had heard about it before, Yulian quickly started to think about it.

“Mai-nim

told me that if I try to know too many things, my head will hurt and

did not teach me anything. What is this rift you are talking about?”

“It

will give you a major headache. However, you are someone we cannot

leave in the dark. You may be one of the chosen ones, but you still have

one decision left.”

“A decision?”

“A shitty decision

indeed. Why did the heavens make you decide on such a thing? The more it

continues, the more humans break apart from each other.”

The old woman looked to the sky as she mumbled in lamentation.

Yulian scratched his head because he knew he had to think really seriously about what was happening to him.

He

selected the opposite path due to sheer curiosity, and it led him to

the Western continent, and along the way, so many unbelievable things

happened. Now, he had instantly arrived at this unknown continent.

In

addition, now he was at this unbelievable tower called the Magic Tower,

and an old woman started to ramble about how he was a chosen one who

was destined to be at war for the rest of his life. She was also sighing

as she told him that he had a decision to make. He could not understand

any of the things that were going on.

The old woman started to speak.

“Listen well, Yulian. Your master should be in the process of finding his path and his answer after realizing the truth.

Once she started to talk about Chun Myung Hoon, Yulian focused and looked toward the old woman.

“When

I see you, I see both things that make me relieved as well as worried.

The part that I am thankful for is that you possess a strong mental

fortitude, endless bravery, and relentless sense of responsibility to

easily defeat your destiny.”

“……”

The worried part is

that as a member of a desert tribe, you do not know about the Holy

Scripture. Without knowing that, I cannot explain anything about the

rift.”

“I know a bit about the omnipotent God. I have also memorized everything the tribe’s Guardian has passed down as well.”

“It

was altered to meet the needs of the desert. How should I put it? The

father loves all of his children, but does not teach them all in the

same way?”

“Hmm.”

The old woman groaned before looking toward Yulian and continuing to speak.

“Even if I try to explain it in the simplest of ways, it will be difficult without knowing the Holy Scripture.”

The old woman contemplated for a long time before clapping and starting to speak.

“Alright. I will give you a short explanation. Listen well. I had to think really hard to come up with this.”

Yulian started to smile as he answered.

“I will listen to it as if it was my master giving me a lesson.”

“In

the world, there is a god and angels and devils. Since you are also the

king of a nation, you should have read many books right?”

“Yes.”

“What is a devil? The majority of people call Satan, who was born with the name Lucifer, to be the essence of evil.”

“I am aware of it. The Archangel who descended down after going against the omnipotent god.”

“Oh you know about it.”

“Who

would not know about angels and devils? Even our tribe makes sure to

teach about religion. Neo Latin-nim, the guardian of our tribe, is one

of the Archangels as well.”

“It should be easier to explain than I

thought then. Then listen well. I will tell you about why the devil

split away from the Lord.”
