138 – Lost
Do not strive for vain things and find your own happiness.
No matter how much I thought about why Kim Tor left such words to future generations right before his death, I could not come up with an answer.
I wondered what on earth he regretted, and whether it was right to leave those words to a possessed person like me.
If a possessed person comes over once every 100 years, then at the age of 93, the possessed person who would have appeared 500 years ago would not have been born.
‘Then again, these words are not for the possessed person, but for one’s own family….’
Even so, there are still questions about what the futility that Kim Tor is talking about is.
At least, if you listen to his life with Lynel next to him, he probably didn’t live a life that would leave him with any regrets, other than not learning the art of martial arts….
‘I don’t know….’
There was no way I could have come up with an answer if I sat down and thought about it, as I had neither directly talked to him nor was his descendant.
If I were to guess one thing, I would only guess that there was some change in his state of mind at that time since he was ordered to engrave the phrase after suffering death.
In the end, the day passed without me finding out anything, and with nothing left to do, I set out for the academy the next morning.
“Then, father. “I’ll be back.”
“…… Okay.”
What happened that day made Jessica no longer call the Count Papa.
Even though it was something he had decided on, the Count still seemed to have regrets, as if he was somehow disappointed, but Jessica, on the other hand, had a relieved expression on her face.
“But where is my sword?”
Last night, I remembered that I hadn’t collected Yeongta, so I belatedly went back to the garden and tried to retrieve Yeongta, but someone had already cleaned it up.
When I asked Lynel where Youngta was, he said he would find it for me, so I left it to him, but the Lynel was no longer visible.
“I said I’d be here soon, so just wait a moment…” .”
“Yes, mother-in-law.”
“… ….”
When I playfully called him that, the Countess shook her head and averted her gaze, as if she didn’t like me yet.

Well, even now, I think my heart will ease a little if I get married to Jessica officially and show her my grandson or granddaughter.
After a while, several knights with Lynel walked towards us from far away.
I don’t know if it was just my mood, but my steps were slower than usual and I felt like hesitation.
‘What, why aren’t you holding Yeongta?’
Could it be that you couldn’t find it?
As I was struggling with the anxiety that had sprouted in my heart, Lynel came right in front of me.
“Hey… My sword….”
“…… “I am sorry.”
With that said, what Lynel handed to me from the knight next to him and showed me was a sword with only the hilt remaining.
After I froze for a moment at the nightmare-like scene, wondering if this was really reality, the driver then handed me a bag containing something heavy.
“This is… ?”
“I collected the blades that fell in the garden here. Because the fight was so intense, there were many blades left that turned into powder…….”
I couldn’t hear the knight’s words until the end because my heart was pounding like crazy.
The very next moment, when I received the hilt that contained the pieces of Yeongta and Yeongta’s blade, with only the hilt remaining, the world turned upside down and my body was leaning toward the ground.
“Uh, huh?! Hey, Ian!! Ian!!”
*****
The screen stopped at the scene where Baldojae collapses, spouting blood, and we took a moment to reflect on the fight just moments ago, as if we were savoring it.
While everyone was silent and thinking about the fight just moments ago, the doctor was the first to speak.
The doctor’s voice and expression were not very good, as if he was dissatisfied with the fight a little while ago.
“… It ended more vainly than I thought. “I never thought the fight between the three possessors would end this way.”
“Is it meaningless because of the way it ended?”
The doctor agreed with my question and replayed the scene where Baldojae cuts down Baekjeongnam and Bukkake at once.
It certainly wasn’t a very nice scene to see, even with empty words. However, he was not originally a colleague, so it was natural for him to be cut down if he had the chance.
“And even if Baekjeongnam hadn’t blocked Bukkake’s movement at the end, the last attack would have definitely hit.”
The last attack was a technique that deceived the spacing of the baldojae that Bukkage had identified, so it was an attack that would have probably hit even if Baekjeongnam had not been there.
“Rather than that, I think the problem is with that magic sword. It ignores its ability to regenerate and turns into foam. “You’re too strong.”
“No, I don’t think it’s too strong.”
“Opinions are divided again on this. “Why is that?”
“That technology, in my opinion, is a kind of curse. This means that as long as you have enough anti-magic power, it is easy to bounce off the curse.”
You can just ignore it with anti-magic power, so you don’t have to be afraid of any ability.
Even if you don’t have that kind of ability, if you don’t have a significant regenerative ability, it may be a meaningless ability because it is no different from defeat when you take that blow.
“That certainly makes sense. Captain, don’t you have any sentiments? “It was great or it was good.”
“… ….”
The always quiet captain was even quieter during this fight, and his face showed more anguish than usual.
At a time when I was worried that I might have asked a strange question, the captain, who seemed to have remained silent forever, opened his mouth.
“I’d like to say it was a great fight, but…. “When I think about the words that came out of their mouths, I couldn’t stop talking.”
“What came out of their mouths? Now that I think about it, it seems like I’ve been calling people out on the side, calling them rude, etc., But what does that mean? “I should be able to understand the language of the other world.”
“……… Just remember that it’s not a good thing to say. “I don’t want to talk about it if possible.”
This was the first time the captain was so reluctant, so he was personally very curious, but his expression was so bad that he just gave up.
Now that the evaluation of the fight was roughly over, it was time to think about the future.
What lies ahead. The problem we face right now is that Bukkake died in that fight.
Originally, Bukhage had planned to have his ninja army fight Baldojae later, but for some reason, he got angry and charged at Baldojae, resulting in defeat.
The problem was that now they had to find someone to replace that position, but there was no one with the skills of Bukkake.
“If I had to pick one person, it would be the Sword Master…. “Can’t we do something about that?”
“It would be impossible. I don’t know if you’re defeating the Sword Saint, but you’re trying to get him to fight a new student at the Academy…. “It would be unreasonable to say that the swordsmen of the time were battle-mad.”
“Then who is the successor?”
“The successor is also quite strong, but…. It is difficult to deal with Bal Do-jae who doped that drug. “I think even for the non-doped side, the odds of winning are low.”
Actually, the successor to Geomseong was strong, but it was not comparable to the current Baldojae.
If she could transform into a demon like Bukkake, there would be a chance, but from what I heard, she wasn’t the type of person who would transform into a demon to become stronger.
“Then do I have no choice but to leave it alone for a while? “There are times when you can’t find anything right away and you realize something while taking a break.”
“Actually, it’s not like it doesn’t exist at all, but….”
If you look at the way the doctor, who doesn’t hesitate at all, chooses his words, it’s clear that he’s saying that.
Prince Euclid… No, it’s an ancient demon sleeping in the princess’s body.
If it were to awaken, it would definitely become a more powerful enemy than Baekjeongnam and Bukkake.
“But was it really that easy to sing? “I heard there are some conditions.”
“Yes, it’s not just any demon, it’s an ancient demon whose name hasn’t even been recorded. It’s impossible in the usual way, but if….”
If you get your consent….
*****
“How long are you going to be so intimidated!! “Everyone watching makes me depressed!!”
“…… “If there is a person who gets excited in this situation, that person has a personality problem or something in the past.”
For example, unless you were a person whose family was murdered by someone during your childhood, you couldn’t help but feel intimidated in this situation.
My mourning has died.
Yeongta, who had more value than an ordinary weapon to me, died cruelly and in vain.
Every time he looked at the hilt of Yeongta’s sword, which had no blade left, he was reminded of that fact, and his heart was torn apart.
I’m thinking of going to Otar and asking for repairs, but that’s probably impossible.
‘Those bastards…. If he had known this would happen, he would have killed him more painfully….’
I can’t help but think that turning into foam and dying is a very merciful death compared to the crimes they committed.
If the body had been left, it would have been pulled out of the grave and its head cut off, but now it has completely turned into foam, making it impossible to do so.
“Ah, I think we’re almost there.”
When I looked up after hearing Hori’s words, I had already reached a place where I could see the academy with my own eyes.
“Where should we go first? The blacksmith shop where Otar is? Or would it be better to stop by the mansion first?”
“Let’s go to the mansion…” . I can’t go to the blacksmith shop because my hands are shaking….”
To be honest, the result was vaguely predictable, but even now, his heart pounded as he thought about hearing from Otar’s lips that repairs were impossible.
So the carriage headed straight to the mansion without stopping anywhere else….
“Hey!!”
The carriage suddenly began to stop in front of the main gate of the mansion, accompanied by the sound of horses neighing.
