Chapter 235 Side Story 1. Goblin (1)
The Goblin.
Born a monster, yet died as an ally of the martial world.
Gu Yangjeok lifted the book chronicling his deeds. It was completely covered in dust, looking as if it would crumble at the slightest touch.
Under normal circumstances, he would have skimmed it and burned it, but with Zhao Hun’s whereabouts at stake, he couldn’t treat it lightly.
‘I thought I’d never be entangled with Palma again…’
Gu Yangjeok sighed softly and opened the book.
The opening sentence immediately captured his full attention.
-I wanted this kind of fight.
Gu Yangjeok’s brows furrowed.

For the past thousand years, the goblin had roamed the entire continent seeking a reason to live.
Yet nowhere in the martial world could he find one to warm his blood. Even after battling monsters said to be so powerful, he gained not a shred of satisfaction.
Instead, his very existence had become an object of worship, revered as a deity.
But now.
Now it was different.
Swish, bang!
It was not a battle against a monster, but against a human that made the goblin smile.
‘This is the kind of fight I wanted.’
Despite possessing a lifespan of barely over a hundred years, Moo-ui’s triumph over physical decay shook the goblin’s very values.
The goblin genuinely respected him.
Clang, clang!
Sparks flew as steel clashed, only the sound of trembling breaths lingering between the two men.
The goblin cherished this moment.
Longing for this fight to never end like the ones before, he trembled with ecstasy.
