Episode 67 Valley where the sun never sets.(1)
* * *
A cold morning wind blew along the meandering stem of the valley.
When I went back in the direction of the wind, the man I saw yesterday was meditating in the same spot.
“Come.”
“yes.”
“Since I said that I accept you as a disciple, we should know about each other. What is your name?”
“My name is Park Seong-jin.”
“Fate goes round and round, and that saying was true. A man of the same nationality as Ha Yoo-seong, who developed the spirits, will eventually decorate the end of the genealogy of spirits.”
I thought it was a relatively familiar name, but it turned out to be a real Korean.
There were more people of different nationalities than I expected in the Purple Knights.
“What should I call it?”
“You can call me Nihilis.”
It’s a name I’ve heard somewhere.
No, I don’t even know what the name was in the first place.
“Is that your name?”
“No way. The old name has long since been abandoned. The title given to those who rise to the throne of the Purple Knights is now my name.”
“Is that nihilis?”
“Yes, I was the third seat of the seven swords, the seat of emptiness.”
If such a strong yangban is the 3rd seat, I can’t even imagine how strong the 1st or 2nd position is.
“Are all the other swordsmen dead?”
“At least all the swordsmen who considered themselves to be knights are dead. Either he died at my hands, or he died at the hands of another disciple.”
“That means that there are also living swords.”
“It will be alive. I don’t know what’s going on.”
It doesn’t look like they’re all really dead.
Well, I’ve never seen him appear in a work, so it’s safe to assume that he’s actually dead.
“Then, let me introduce myself this far. Show off your skills.”
There was no such thing as a technique that he was particularly confident in, so he used the cherry blossom shedding, which he could say he knew how to use.
“It’s Ryujin I haven’t seen in a long time. How long has it been since you captured Managlaive?”
“Probably in two months or so.”
“It is a strange thing. It’s only been two months, and the way he handles his sword is very similar to that of someone I know. Who did you learn from?”
“Your girlfriend.”
The fact that the teacher who taught me the sword is my girlfriend is a bit embarrassing.
Conversely, it would have been the story of having a good girlfriend.
“Can I ask her name?”
“If you tell me, you won’t know. My name is Mitsuru Aina.”
“Mitsuru… That’s a name I miss. I think this is fate, not fate.”
“Did you know each other?”
When I asked where I had heard it, I remember that Aina mentioned the name Nihilis a while ago.
What do Nihilis and Aina have to do with each other?
“I don’t know the name of Aina, but I know about the Mitsuru family.”
“How do you know each other?”
“Because one of my students had a surname Mitsuru.”
“Did you kill him too?”
“Yes.”
Among Aina’s ancestors, there was a member of the Purple Knights.
I don’t know what kind of relationship he has with Aina, but I’ll try to hide the fact that I joined the Purple Knights as much as possible.
“You seem to know a little bit about each other soon, so it’s time to pass on what I know to you. The first thing that needs to be done is stabilization.”
“Is it a company that handles the magenta sword stably?”
“Yes. You still haven’t been able to handle the magenta blade freely.”
“yes.”
Occasionally, it only turns magenta in life-threatening situations, and does not normally rise above green.
“What was the situation in which you pulled out the magenta sword?”
“It was a moment when I felt myself in an emergency.”
“It’s unusually ordinary. good night. Then, if you’re exposed to that situation often, you’ll get used to handling the magenta blade. Pick up your sword.”
Surely that doesn’t mean you’re going to expose yourself to life-threatening situations often?
Believing that it wasn’t, he raised his sword.
And, that belief was betrayed at once.
Clearly a magenta sword with murderous intent flew in.
“What are you doing? If you have learned Ryujin, you have to put pressure on your opponent! Ryujin is not meant to be used in a defensive situation!”
No, there is such a difference in skill level, how do you put pressure on them?
“Use the skills you can use. The life you feel is a false life that I disguised as mana. It just creates an atmosphere of death. If he actually had the will to kill you, he would have already killed tens of thousands of times.”
… That’s right.
It’s hard to feel because of the extremely narrow attacks and the pressure of mana full of life, but it’s definitely a skill that can kill me in the blink of an eye at Nihilis level.
Rather, this composition proves that his skills are overwhelming.
It is more difficult to subdue and capture the opponent than to kill the opponent with certainty.
Playing with your opponent is more difficult than overpowering your opponent.
And, if you can pretend that you are on the same level as your opponent and instill the illusion that your opponent is ‘nearly victorious!’, then you are on a different level.
And, Nihilis was practicing the last example personally.
I deliberately give myself a gap once or twice to give me an angle where I can attack, but I never allow that attack.
In the same way during his attack turn, he made a threatening attack, but never actually did any damage to me.
“Don’t be obsessed with your actions. Ryujin is not a swordsman whose purpose is to cut opponents. Ryujin’s biggest goal is to make big moves to put psychological pressure on the opponent and make them shrink.”
“It means to use a thread to make an easy choice for the other person. There is no point in using it only for transportation.”
“If you’re going to stick with the attitude of switching to physical fights in a hurry, learn kader instead of Ryujin.”
… I hate to admit it, but it worked.
Having seen it with my own eyes that sometimes turns into a magenta sword, I can’t deny that fact.
“You’re growing faster than you think. I can’t make a hasty decision, but I might be able to learn English sooner than I thought.”
“I wish I could.”
“Don’t be impatient. If you easily take what I have gained over 100 years, wouldn’t it be unfair to me?”
“Yeah, I didn’t mean to become a Knights Templar. The academy and the Knights Templar, I just want to graduate as soon as possible.”
Of course, even after graduating, there are a lot of work to do, but I think I can take a little break.
“Is there anything you want to do?”
“There are a few villains I definitely want to kill. After catching them, I want to play comfortably.”
“Your dream is simpler than you think.”
“Because I am a small person.”
I am actually a small person.
He doesn’t have great abilities, he doesn’t have great ambitions, he doesn’t have the courage to jump into the ocean.
It’s just a typical example of a group of extremely petty people who only work hard at what they have to do.
“It seems to reveal a lot of female colors for that kind of thing.”
“Am I?”
“Didn’t you say that you were dating the daughter of the Mitsuru family? Hearing that you were able to seduce a woman from that notorious family, you’d be saying that you’re not an ordinary guy either. Besides, I can feel the energy of another reason from you.”
“I don’t know about that either. How did that happen?”
“Twitter, the young guy lit up his colors like that. No, it’s better than getting old and doing ugliness.”
this is a bit embarrassing
At least among the boys born with cocks, if there is a guy who claims that he doesn’t reveal his color, I can only think of three cases.
First of all, it’s not at the level of lightening the color, you bastards don’t even think about anything other than that.
Second, the guys who don’t stand up and have shrunken brilliance, so they can no longer play the role of a man.
Third, gay.
I’m not all three, I’m rather normal.
“It’s not a sin to like a woman in general.”
“Hello, do you really think you are just liking women?”
“yes.”
“Huh, then that’s more of a problem.”
“Why?”
“If you were simply flirting with several women, it would only make you miserable, but if you had several women flirting with you, your situation would be tragic.”
The situation changes tragic.
What do you mean?
“Why is a life popular with women so tragic? It’s just good.”
“That’s a story you only talk about when you’re popular with ordinary people. The problem is that the person who loves you is not normal. It would be nice if the body wasn’t found later.”
“Then it seems that Master kept away from women.”
“I am the man who took the sword as his wife.”
It was a real madman.
“So, are you happy with the sword as your wife?”
“no.”
“Then, I was right.”
“The members who said such things later came to say that I was right.”
This person has a much more unique personality than I thought.
I don’t know if it was that kind of personality or if it was harmful because of old age.
“You have a much nicer personality than you look.”
“It wasn’t like this in the first place.”
“Besides that, they take my jokes well.”
“Since it’s the first disciple I’ve made in decades, shouldn’t I treat him well? You will be the last disciple.”
Ah, seeing the same idiot newbie, you must have been a fanatic character.
Newdlebak has no choice but to admit it.
Rather, there is one thing I have been very curious about since yesterday, and I must ask this.
“Suddenly, do you know of a movie called Star X?”
“I do not know.”
“Then, what about the line ‘I am your father’?”
“I have no idea.”
No matter how you look at it, it’s Star X.
There is nothing you can do about not knowing this cosmic masterpiece.
“Anyway, I’ll just go downstairs.”
“what are you talking about. Training begins now.”
“Yes?”
“It’s only been a day or so. It is the time of the white night that never sets. It’s the perfect time to train.”
The next day, I had the bizarre experience of crawling down a mountain for the first time.
