270 – Heavenly Demon Gimlin (2)
At the time when Kimlin had just been transferred to Murim.
She was often attacked.
Unlike modern times, they did not just leave a young and beautiful woman like Kim Rin wandering around alone.
For the same reason, most of those who first attacked Gimlin were ordinary junk.
People who are not much different from ordinary people except that they take up arms and prioritize their own desires over the laws of society.
-Hey… !
-Woah, he was a martial artist… !?
Gimlin said that beyond surviving their attacks, she found herself subduing them.
-It’s nothing special… ?
Gimlin thought that the reason was not because she was outstanding, but because they were insignificant.
But when did she start?
Rumors about an unidentified female martial artist began to circulate in the area where she lived.
According to her rumor, the female expert is said to make a habit of seeing the opponent’s martial arts skills once and imitating them on the spot and using them in battle with the opponent.
-I’m getting sick.
-Is there any way something like that is possible?
-From what I heard, she is a young woman. What, is it like a review index of the old file room?
-Review of the old file room What’s so sad about Jisoo that she’ll just live that wandering life?
-And, is that possible even with the Gupang Ilbang Review Index? She sees martial arts for the first time and imitates it.
-Even, you don’t just follow it. The idea is to defeat the master of the martial art by copying it.
-Oh my god. At that level, it’s just magic. What, can I become an expert of a demonic religion?
And that was one day after the rumor had spread and spread even outside the region.
-It’s him.
-…!?
That day, Gimlin suffered what could be called a proper attack for the first time.
They thoroughly hid her identity due to her secret intentions and systematically cornered her, like hunters herding their prey.
Their identities were none other than assassins sent by a large political faction.
The clan received information that Kim Lin, an outsider of her clan, was using her clan’s arcane martial arts, and was sent by her clan to punish her.
Byeongeomma.
Kim Rin was a star nickname she got without even realizing it.
Also, without her knowledge, she was being treated as an official demonic spirit of the martial arts cult.
– Heo-eok… Heo-eok…
Gimlin, who realized this fact through a bloody fight with the assassins, was shocked.
-What on earth did I do…!
-What an achievement for Moorim.
-That’s like a wanted criminal…!
It was just unfair.
She was just struggling to survive from those who were fighting arbitrarily –
-What did you do?
Her moment, the voice speaking to her.
If you look at his appearance, he was an old herbalist with a shabby appearance.
But the eye light shines brightly even in the dark.
-…!?
Kim Lin, who was transferred to Moorim and has accumulated considerable experience, realized this instinctively. She said that if this man decided to kill her, she would not be able to survive no matter what she did.
Gimlin thought that her life was now her old man’s and not her own, and she treated him accordingly.
-What are you talking about?
– These are the martial arts you just used when dealing with those pathetic bastards. Don’t change your mind.
-…I am not a swordsman.
-Ahahahaha. Are you planning to make fun of this old man?
-…Is my grandfather’s goal also to kill me?
-Grandfather? hahahaha! Look at this! Don’t change your mind! When I heard that he was a world-class bastard who stole the other person’s martial arts skills and made fun of them, I wondered how vicious he was – but in reality, he was a newborn baby who didn’t even know what was in his hands!
-…?
-Ahahahaha. You know what? One of the martial arts you just dealt with deals with yin energy, one with yang energy, another with the energy of Samjae, and one with the energy of Taegeuk.
-What is that…?
-Khahahaha!!! That’s right! What on earth is that all about? What is it, if it were other guys, the energy and blood of the whole body would have been distorted, it would have been like a curse, and blood would have been spewing out from the seven holes. Are you being particularly generous to only you?
Every time the old man laughed, the middle of the mountain where they were seemed to tremble.
-Ahahahaha. Would you like to copy what this old man does from now on?
Soon, the old man began to perform martial arts in front of Kim Lin.
From Noble mtl dot com
It was an extremely difficult martial art.
And, it was a martial art that had the exact opposite energy to the martial arts that Kim Rin had just performed in the battle with the assassins.
-…?
Nevertheless, Kim Rin continued to imitate the herbivorous behavior as if it was nothing.
After several rounds of trial and error, it took less than an hour for the martial art to be completed.
-…
The gaze of the old man who was watching the process changed moment by moment.
It seemed like fun at first.
What happens next seems interesting.
What happened next seemed shocking.
And in the end-
-I prided myself on having experienced all sorts of things over the course of an incredibly long life, but now that I look back, it was nothing.
The old man’s hideous yet arrogant aura was nowhere to be seen.
He regained his composure and faced Kim Lin in a solemn manner.
-I will ask your name.
-… Kim, Lin…
-Gimlin. Yes, Lin. Do you know about your natural talent?
-Talent… ?
-You were born with a constitution that allows you to freely handle energy of all natures. In other words, it is a thousand things.
The old man held out his hand to Gimlin.
-This is the name that refers to the true owner of this martial arts world. Lina. You are the material that will put this world under your feet.
-…
-As long as you have that constitution, the entire martial arts world will try to kill you. Just like before.
-If I really have that kind of power… I can promise you that I will use this power for the right things.
-Lina. Your talent is not a power that can be tolerated. Your talent. Its very existence denies all unmanned people in the world.
The old man’s voice was trembling.
He was now recalling what had just happened.
The old man’s martial arts skills that Kim Rin perfectly learned and imitated in just one attempt.
Cheonsu Shingong.
It was a tower built over hundreds of years by an old man who was once the leader of the martial arts but went beyond his means to see the extremes of martial arts.
It is a martial art that is so difficult that even the top 10 masters in martial arts are not allowed to even understand the parts.
The girl in front of me perfectly imitated that martial art in just one try.
I only saw it once.
Murim people who experienced the same thing felt humiliated by Kim Lin.
I felt afraid.
The old man was also the same.
However, the old man was moved by more than that.
He finally found a talented person who could teach him his martial arts skills.
-Then what should I do…? ?
-Lina. Serve me as your teacher. If you do that, I will teach you a mindset that matches the talent you have.
-…
Kim Lin served the old man as her teacher.
In response, the old man, who was once the master of the martial arts world, taught Kim Lin about a mindset suitable for him.
The mindset of the best person in the world.
Now Gimlin understood her talents and powers better than anyone else.
Under this sky, there was no power she could not understand.
Under this sky.
There was no game she couldn’t conquer.
***
Gimlin perfectly understood the power she felt being manipulated by the man laughing vainly in front of her.
-Heesil Heesil
“… “
I definitely thought so.
However, when she tried to actually unleash that power, what was in her hand dissipated like a mirage.
‘Why?’
Kim Lin’s thinking could not accept the situation.
No.
She did not accept the situation.
After the thought of the best person in the world was established, the concept of failure did not exist in her world.
So, Kim Lin acted as if nothing had happened and she again saw the nature of the man’s power.
She tried to unleash her power again.
“… “
Failed again.
Failure.
Failure.
The speed of the Cheonma, which was running freely while looking at the world, was put to an untimely halt.
“…?”
The Dragon King and his party, who had been swayed by the Heavenly Demon, were taken aback by the sight of the Heavenly Demon.
‘What. It’s just a plan…?’
They knew something about the person named Cheonma.
That’s why I couldn’t even imagine it.
The fact that the Heavenly Demon has now failed to understand the power of Ceylon.
The fact that Cheonma is in shock over her first failure.
The Heavenly Demon and the Dragon King and their party fell into agony for different reasons.
A heavy silence came to the place.
“Hmm~?”
Ceylon immediately broke the heavy silence as if it was nothing.
He tilted his head and wrinkled his nose once.
“Hey~? Knock~? Teacher~? Didn’t you say you had something to show me?”
“…”
The Dragon King, who was quietly watching from the side, opened his mouth.
He was caught by her Heavenly Demon’s provocation and was completely confused, forgetting that he was about to attack her right away.
What is that guy doing now?
Are you really provoking me now?
Cheonma?
Cheonma, who gave off a mad atmosphere at first glance, provoking the other returnees, and Ceylon, who gave off a goofy vibe at first glance, provoking Cheonma, were completely different things.
If Cheonma, who was provoking multiple returnees at the same time, looked like a madman-
That foolish man who was provoking Cheonma just looked like a crazy person.
The impression Cheonma received was not much different from that.
“… Her!”
Kim Lin started laughing without realizing it.
“How dare you?”
Finally, she smiled at her cheerfulness.
Let alone whether the man in front of me deserves it.
It was the first time since he became the best person in the world that someone had provoked him so boldly.
Plus, the inexplicable power he possesses.
The Absolute, who was thirsty for challenges and games, looked like he had found a good toy.
“You. “What’s your name?”
“Hmm? Ah! A loud voice! Greeting! This is very important! Nice to meet you! My name is Ceylon. “What is your name?”
“Ceylon. “Unleash all the power you have right now.”
“Yes, Ceylon. Unleash all the power you have right now. Quite-no, quite an unusual name-“
Ceylon’s words did not continue.
Gimlin stretched out her index finger and gave it a small wave.
The strong energy formed in her fingers sharpened the intangible blade and pointed it at his neck.
“You should not spare any effort to attract my interest. The moment I get tired of you. “I will not let you live any longer.”
After putting Ceylon’s life on the line, Gimlin made a noble declaration with the dignity of her Heavenly Demon.
“… ?”
But I’m not able to understand the situation?
Ceylon still looked at Gimlin with a blank and clueless expression and scratched the back of her head.
“Well, Mr. Okay, show off all your power right now, Mr. “I may be presumptuous, but may I ask what you are doing now?”
“… “
Repeated indulgence.
A look of relentless disgust appeared on the Cheonma’s face.
She withdrew her index finger, which she had aimed at Ceylon’s neck, and swung it slightly.
A line was drawn in the Heavenly Demon’s field of vision.
It was the path drawn by the sword she created with strength.
The sword grazed one of Ceylon’s wrists.
Ceylon, who lost one of his hands in an instant, immediately lost his playful demeanor and groaned in pain.
“I interpret this as an unspoken affirmation and am willing to ask, but what on earth does that finger swiping from earlier mean?”
-I didn’t do it.
“… “
Poof.
Poof.
Gimlin waved her finger repeatedly.
But Ceylon’s wrist never fell to the floor.
“Hmm… “
Ceylon imitated Gimlin’s movements with her worried face.
“… “
The sight of the two facing each other and waving their fingers in the air to the beat was quite comical.
Nevertheless, Gimlin could not stop his actions.
Questions were more important than humiliation and anger.
Why?
Is he okay?
“Huh? For a moment. Atlas. You-“
At that time, two panicked voices were heard from the side.
Gimlin unconsciously turned her gaze to them.
Atlas was looking down at his arm in confusion.
Atlas, who was covered in golden scales just a moment ago and looked as if he could turn into something other than human at any moment, has now returned to his fully human form.
Not only that, but the original size of nearly 3 meters was reduced to a normal size.
“What is this…?” !”
He didn’t realize it yet, but his body, which had been transformed under the influence of mana, had returned to its original body.
Atlas wasn’t the only one whose body changed.
“… ! Chariot, look over there! Gimlin’s head-“
“… !”
“… ?”
Kim Lin reflexively took out her cell phone and checked her appearance.
“Uh… ?”
Transparently white hair and eyes that can be said to be a symbol of the Heavenly Demon.
It had returned to its original black color.
It was only then that Kim Lin realized.
It was only then that Atlas realized.
It was only then that Chariot realized.
Mikhail realized only then.
It was only then that Lee Hwa-rin realized.
The fact that I can’t feel my own power at all right now.
Their eyes naturally turn to the foolish man in front of them –
No.
I headed towards the suspicious and sinister man.
“What did you do…” Did you do it?”
Gimlin asked Ceylon.
She was speaking in her usual voice, but no matter how much I heard that voice, it did not belong to the Heavenly Demon, who could see the world.
It was because he was trembling slightly due to extreme embarrassment.
“Huh? “Didn’t you just say that clearly?”
Ceylon let go of her pretense and tilted her head.
The moment when I thought I was showing my stupid side again.
His tightly closed eyelids opened.
“Try to unleash all the power I have right now.”
Just now, deep reptilian eyes, completely different from those of the Dragon King, welcomed them inside.
***
Same time.
An unprecedented situation occurred in Korea where a large number of awakened people lost their abilities.
Fortunately, their abilities returned after a while as if nothing had happened, but in the end, the cause was not revealed, causing a storm in hunter society.
***
And again at the same time.
“Is it here…?” ?”
Aedrin stood in front of the room whose number Ceylon had mentioned and knocked on the door.
Knock knock.
Knock knock.
“… “
But no matter how long I wait, the happy faces don’t show up.
“Huh?”
Surely a fool did that?
Hwivien, Miz, and Kasha have already arrived and are resting?
Aedrin tilted her head and placed the key card that Ceylon had given her to the door.
And so the door opens-
Adeline found her friends gathered in front of a huge board.
“What, everyone was there-…” Huh?”
They were so focused on something that they didn’t even pay attention to Aedrin.
Aedrin naturally followed their gaze.
“… ~”
In Aedrin’s opinion, it was a moving picture.
And on it, which is also called a TV, a streaming site that previous guests had not yet logged out of was turned on.
Also, a video that previous guests had not yet seen was playing.
Ha.
Ha.
The video that a couple had prepared to spend a hot night was now playing in front of their eyes.
“Wow… “
A new world unfolded before their eyes.
