[Storybook] Tale of Bihyung

Chapter 11: How to Defeat a Plague The traveler faced a dire choice. Regardless of Sir Bihyung's circumstances, the safety and well-being of the realm's people took precedence. The traveler chose the safest and most certain path: to vanquish Sir Bihyung and prevent the descent of the Plague God. Together with Dolswe, the traveler summoned the formidable power of the Dragon God, luring Sir Bihyung into an inevitable confrontation. The clash between the traveler and Sir Bihyung was fierce, but the traveler's resolve was unwavering. "Let me ask you something. If you were gunnin' for the evil villain route, why did you help people, including me?" "*Coughs*... Huh, ugh... It was just a moment of weakness, that's all... *cough*... ugh..." Sir Bihyung rasped, his breath labored. "Lies! If Minister Kim Geumryun's goal was to spread disease, why did you help me? What's the reason? Are you telling me the truth? Stop fibbin'! You really wanted to help people, didn't you?" "Help people? Ugh. I just wanted... Everyone to notice me... *coughs* That was all... *coughs*" "With all your abilities, why did you team up with vermin like Minister Kim Geumryun?" "You have no idea what it's like to be denied your whole life, only to finally meet someone who acknowledges you..." "..." The traveler remained silent, contemplating the weight of Sir Bihyung's words. "Here... take this... It's the Cheoyong mask. If you hang this on the divine tree, everyone, *Huff, puff* Now... just gonna close my eyes... *Huff* I need to sleep a bit, phew. I've wanted to fall into deep sleep for some time now... *Huff* so please leave..." With those final words, Sir Bihyung's eyes closed peacefully.
