783 – 9. There is not a single day where this does not happen (32)
The midday sun is dim.
It was a rare sight in Cheongeomsan Mountain, where the weather is usually clear. In fact, originally, I would have had to face the scorching sunlight head on.
There is only one reason why this is not the case.
This was because a whitish curtain was covering the sky. Furthermore, even the path ahead of me.
It was my first time seeing a magic trick. Even though I majored in swordsmanship, in order to graduate from the academy, I had to take liberal arts level magic studies. At least enough to know the level of magic in front of you.
Nevertheless, this barrier was full of mysteries.
What structure does it operate in, for what purpose is it created, and what is its level? It was even questionable whether this should be called a ‘barrier’.
If you think about it, it was natural. Because now there was only one person who could stand in my way.
The silver flame on the blade burned without hesitation.
It was a warning to a man who suddenly appeared from behind. An unidentified person who has her hood pulled down so hard that even her face cannot be seen.
It was strange that he wasn’t on guard.
“It seems like this is my first time meeting you… Have we ever had a conversation?”
My tone of voice was calm when I asked that question. The reason I went to engineering school was because her man seemed to be clearly older than me.
There was no need to even look at the exterior. The composure and elegance radiating from his tone of voice and every gesture testified to the man’s years of experience.
He must have lived at least several times longer than me. And from a fairly high position.
Look at it even now. Even after seeing my hostility, the man just burst into laughter.
“Is there really a need for a full statement? The reputation of the ‘Iron-blooded Gong’ is high throughout the continent… Black hair, golden eyes. “Anyone can tell by looking at the hatchet on his belt.”
“What about the elders?”
The man’s smile grew deeper at my question.
“Who are you? “If you wanted a peaceful solution, there is no reason to stop my path.”
“You are asking a difficult question… ….”
The man was stroking her chin.
I felt a strange sensation. Even though the man clearly existed in front of me, I couldn’t really feel his presence. She felt like she had witnessed a ghost or a natural phenomenon.
Is it a trick?
The body that has become a ‘master’ senses all situations in the area. Nevertheless, if I couldn’t guess the other person’s location, the only conclusion I could come to was that this curtain was confusing my senses.
As expected, it was as the Great Master had advised.
They must have had one or two means to stop me. At least it wouldn’t be at a level that could easily be broken through.
This was the reason why my eyes began to move quickly.
“I forgot my name a long time ago, and the title that once called me is no longer there… “It’s really unclear what to define myself as.”
“Who can live without a name?”
“Is it still the same sound when you come to Heavenly Sword Mountain? There is no place where nameless people gather like the ‘sword circle’! hahahaha!”
It was a useless Zen question and answer.
It meant that the other side also needed to take time. Otherwise, they would have attacked me right away.
The grip holding the sword was gradually gaining strength.
“Please stop answering Zen questions. “There’s no need to hold on to a young man who has a long way to go, right?”
“I want to do that too, but… ….”
As she sighed heavily, her man shook his head.

“For the sake of younger students, shouldn’t we give them time to organize their financial resources?”
“You mean junior. I’m not that old…….”
“Age is just a number. “What’s important is skill.”
“Then.”
The brilliance of the silver flame becomes increasingly darker. The air was humming, and starlight was spreading like cracks through the white curtain.
Surprises are ineffective. Even the location was ambiguous to begin with.
The only way to win is to use the strongest techniques possible.
As if he had sensed my intention, a dark crescent moon appeared at the corner of the man’s mouth, which was barely covered by his hood.
“Does this mean you will teach me?”
The gunman opened his arms without saying anything.
“Try it!”
It was right after that.
A pure white horizon divides the world. Literally in an instant, the solid line drawn like a beam of light soon exploded with a fierce amount of light and covered the entire area with the Milky Way.
Earthquake, lightning, storm.
It was a sword strike that seemed to have dissolved all kinds of disasters with a single slash. The space that was cut into pieces screamed in a season where texture and resolution reached their extreme.
Beep.
A world where even sound was lost only conveyed tinnitus. In an instant, the crack that was about to end shook the entire earth, making me queasy.
Rumbling!
The curtain that had not moved was crying. If there was a sound made by a whale falling to the ground and tossing over, it would probably be like this.
It was an environment in which normal life forms could never survive. However, the opponent is one of the executives of the Dark Church.
Of course, there was no way to classify it as a ‘normal life form’.
“It was beyond my imagination from the beginning!”
Boom, the air split open and the man’s upper body was revealed in front of me.
The remaining half had already been torn apart by my blow and was burning white. Nevertheless, the smile on his face as if there was no problem was somewhat bizarre.
It’s within the range I expected anyway.
Because he held the sword with his left hand, his right hand was still empty. As he became a ‘Master’, his physical abilities improved to an extent that was incomparable to before, and it was a feat he was able to perform.
The next trick was decided.
The hatchet pulled out like a sword drew a beam of light. So that it passes exactly through the neck of the man who appears in front of me as if performing a stunt.
Blood did not splatter. However, I kicked the rest of my body just in case something happened.
Wood!
Sensation of ribs being crushed.
It would have been normal if he had died like this. It would have been great if it could end like this.
There was no way the world would hand down such an easy ordeal to me.
The hood that fell along with the head flapped and flew through the air. A man’s body lands on the floor and appears filling the space like a shadow.
It wasn’t just that. The right arm that decapitated the man was frozen and did not move.
My eyebrows naturally furrowed. Regardless, the man was just expressing his leisurely impressions of her.
“At most, it’s the sum of two… It’s stronger than expected. “There is no precedent for a case like yours, so it was difficult to come up with a hypothesis.”
“Isn’t that too unfair?”
Euddeuk, euddeuk, euddeuk.
As she strained her right arm, the muscles forcibly contracted and the sound of bones crunching resounded. It was as if the arm itself was fixed to something, but not enough to completely restrain me.
Quad!
When the arm was forcibly struck, the skin and some muscles were torn and blood splattered. It wasn’t long before the wound healed, though.
I clenched and unclenched my right hand and made a loud noise.
“I don’t know anything about the old man’s identity, but he even analyzed it in advance on his own.”
“hehehe… ….”
The man stroked her chin as she burst into laughter. A dejected tone came out of his mouth as he looked at me and his blood-soaked right arm alternately.
“So simple and ignorant about magical restraint… Don’t worry too much. “Because you are already an unknown being.”
“Is it just like a monster that survives even if its head is cut off?”
“Well, I think other people might think we’re both ‘monsters’… ….”
The man who trailed off like that soon smiled.
“But I understand one thing.”
“I will listen.”
“I’m still immature… Indeed, ‘half-hearted’ is something like this.”
It was a tone of voice that struck at my weaknesses without any mercy. I asked him to teach me with empty words, but I never thought he would touch my painful spot like this.
Phew, I asked while catching my breath.
“What is the purpose?”
“Me? I came to see ‘Jian’s’ disciple… But, I never thought an old friend from Daesulim would come to mind even more.”
Jian? An old friend of the Great Forest?
Are you talking about the swordsman and the great witch? I internally raised the company’s potential risk level.
It was enough to mention the two people without even thinking about it. What if he is a powerhouse of the same level as those two?
I had to take care of my neck first.
“Do you know the two of you well?”
“I know! I’m very curious. “I always want to know everything in the world.”
“Then I guess I should ask for even more guidance.”
At this point I have finished calculating.
Purpose of the Dark Church? If you came to Heavenly Sword Mountain, that goal was obvious. This place was like a place created to hide a treasure for thousands of years.
‘Heavenly Sword (天劍)’.
The ‘Great Master’ was located there. Even if one of the Seven Sins comes, they will be able to match it.
The only worry was the possibility of more Seven Sins being sent into battle. I can only pray that the remaining members can handle at least one of the Seven Sins.
Lastly, ‘Delphirem’ was out of the question because it was an entity that could not be handled in itself.
If she had come in the first place, there wouldn’t have been a need for such trivial formalities. Isn’t this an asymmetrical force that can wipe out Heavenly Sword Mountain alone?
Then there is one thing I have to do.
“I have one thing to worry about these days… …..”
Killing the man in front of you.
“…… “There is!”
From Jin (盡) to Jeongjeong-dong (停中movement).
The results of training in the sword circle were immediately revealed. It was literally a split second until he swung his sword with all his might from his usual stance.
The starlight spreads and fills the field of vision.
The man didn’t take it lightly either. Before I knew it, the staff in his hand was cutting through the tidal wave of Aurors like a breakwater. But the hand holding my sword is still one.
A ray of light shoots out from the remaining hand.
The thrown hatchet was returned in a circle like a boomerang. As the weapon struck like a wedge, the man’s hand grasped the curved part of the staff.
The blade soon appears.
There was nothing unnecessary about the posture of blocking the silver tsunami with the part of the staff that served as a scabbard and striking the hatchet with a thin sword. However, my hatchet bounced back several times, distracting the man’s attention.
More than anything, a cane cannot last long. Because my image of ‘indomitability’ crushes everything that stands in my way.
At that time, my body was already being destroyed. I dropped my sword to the bottom left, right before drawing it straight up diagonally.
“Let me give you some advice.”
A hallucination rang in my ears through the empty streets. Even though I didn’t even touch my lips and didn’t even have time to do so.
I sensed that her male eyes were on me.
“It’s strong, but… ….”
Round and round, her man’s body spun.
As if I was being led, my body and the hatchet drew a circle around the man. Kang! The hatchet collided with the silver tsunami and let out a scream.
“I’m too impatient. “Are you crushed by the weight?”
The tip of her man’s cane dug into my ribs. This feeling of the brain inside my skull being shaken all at once, even though I just felt like I was pressing down.
I felt like I wanted to vomit blood right away. As time passes slowly, the eyes of the man and I become intertwined in the air.
I laughed.
The sharp wind.
Just before collapsing, the Golden Snake Sword (Golden Snake Sword), which had been completed, let out a solemn howl. Her twelve claw marks shot out, aiming for her man.
No, to be exact, the man’s hood.
“Oh my…… !”
Finally, her man’s brow furrowed. But no matter how tough the fabric is, it cannot withstand the claws of a lion.
At the same time as I fell and rolled on the ground, her man’s clothes were torn to pieces and scattered.
It was time to reveal the face hidden inside the hood.
