204. absolute zero
[Look. And, make it yours.]
Dalgrak, moongrak.
Hwareuk-
Blue flames rose from his footsteps to cool them down.
[…]
Qing (靑) tensed up and took a stance with four greatswords.
It was truly unnatural to see him so nervous as a top-level corps commander with powers close to that of a god of death. However, Doyoon did not feel the slightest sense of difference.
That would be true, too, a shabby skeleton much thinner than that guy. It was because, in front of him, the strongest corps commander of the present age looked infinitely small.
Dalgrak, moongrak.
The tip of the blue sword twitched every time the thin ankle bone took a step.
[Phenomenalization of the will. For the past 100 years, in a state where only the self exists without a body, I have only considered it.]
With a strong will, he expands the phenomenon of ‘cutting’. It is to impose will on the world.
That is the trick of the Hyeonsword. It was a realization that Doyoon gave to Busker 100 years ago.
[Expression of will. Enforcing your will in the world is not the only way to do that.]
[Let the world fulfill your will on its own.]
[Let the world accept your will.]
He raised his sword and held it in front of his face. The 7th famous sword in the collection trembled at the owner’s presence and let out a cold chill.
[The world moves. One by one, even the air moves without rest.]
Particles oscillate non-stop and carry their own energy. In the district Doyoon visited, it was defined as temperature. However, in this world, it was common knowledge that was not revealed.
‘Did he realize it himself?’
All enlightenment leads to a completely different pole. He had reached the point of reading many things in the world through the sword.
Busker returned the sword and grabbed it. and put it into the ground
[Buske’s Style Swordsmanship – Declaration]
ugh-
area spreads out.
“uh?”
“What, what again!?”
The hemispheric sphere spread across the battlefield, confounding the soldiers.
Entering the realm, Doyoon instantly felt the illusion that the world had turned gray.
‘no. That’s not it.’
Particles stopped.
The flow of air stopped, and the falling raindrops stopped.
The world has stopped. His bitterly cold will froze the world.
“It’s cold, it’s cold…!”
“All forces, calm down and prepare for an emergency!”
“for a moment! It’s not the enemy’s fault! Hey, look at the hero and the skeleton knight!”
In a world that has stopped, in an awkward and heterogeneous world, everyone paid attention to their decisive battle.
Busker took another step. In the gray and cold world, Doyoon felt that only the color of Busker was intact.
Paradoxically, only the white bones without warmth and the blue eyes embracing the spirit of death were alive.
Only he was clearly present in this place.
[The world stops and only I move there. The world becomes a drawing paper and exists only for my will. Then.]
Busker’s sword drew a trail in the air.
slow. But the air splits. Doyoon could clearly see the remaining sword lines in the space.
The air particles that had stopped moving did not fill the path the sword had crossed. As if dead, like a frozen corpse, it was still. The world fully accepted his will to ‘cut’.
[The world accepts my will. This is the ultimate realm. this.]
A world where everything is frozen, only for his sword and his will.
Buske’s style of swordsmanship. Hyeonsword (顯劍).
[Absolute zero degrees.]
The chillingly cold will froze the world.
Dalgrak, moongrak.
[This is… what the hell…]
Blue shuddered at the presence of the skeleton, which approached slowly one step at a time, but was extremely heavy.
The current phenomenon was not understood. It was an unimaginable sight not only from the previous version of the data, but also from common sense.
[This, ah…]
He felt a bone-chilling fear in the glowing blue eyes.
[This, this… This is ridiculous!!]
In the end, Cheong (靑) swung the greatsword as if in a fit.
The strongest corps commander in existence, his sword was incredibly fast. And Busker, who was only a skeleton, was slow.
Caan-!
But the sword was blocked.
[…!]
No, he didn’t stop it. The blue greatsword went to where Busker’s sword was.
Busker’s will to block was already a phenomenon. the world made it
Blue couldn’t go against the world.
[aa-!!]
The greatswords in your arms were swinging wildly.
Busker was still slow. It was too slow, as if watching the speed at which water freezes in winter.
It was a blunt sword.
Unlike the four swords that were desperately swung, Busker was relaxed and slow, but blocked all attacks. From the point of view of Blue, it was a truly terrifying sight.
[Look, Enoch.]
He informed his friend with a bigamy voice.
[This is the path of the sword, which I have walked for 100 years without you.]
Doyoon stared at his friend’s path in disbelief.
“this…”
Because he was a warrior of the closest realm, he could understand the fearsomeness.
100 years ago, Enoch gave Busker the realization of the Hyeonsword (顯劍). Busker researched this endlessly, and finally returned the results to Enoch.
Everything his friend showed off gave Do-yoon a great inspiration.
Do-yoon indulged in the spectacle. I experienced this moment vividly. Because of this, he did not hear the clear notification sound ringing in his ears.
Tring!
[The skill ‘Swordsmanship’ has been leveled up. Current level: 10]
Doyoon’s eyes turned golden.
As it was 100 years ago, Doyoon was growing up because of his friend.
Caan, Caan-! bang! KANG, KANG!
[aa!! It’s a monster! It makes sense that the skeleton is so strong!!]
In the end, the cool-headed blue went crazy with fear. He forgot even martial arts and swung his sword like crazy.
Busker still approached him step by step. The clattering footsteps were clearer than the sound of clashing swords.
Slowly approaching footsteps, blue flames, chills. All of that has choked Blue’s breath.
[What the hell! What the hell are you guys saying!!]
[I.]
The sword points upward.
[It’s the Sword Emperor.]
and slide down
Buske’s Style Swordsmanship – Cold Room
The world split in half.
The stopped world accepted his will to ‘cut’ and was soon cut. Qing (靑) raised all four great swords to block them, but his sword was cut off without any resistance, as if the air was cracking.
[ah…]
The world cut blue according to Busker’s will.
The strongest corps commander in existence and the twin corps commander Blue, who was designed to be Roosevolnik’s perfect nemesis. it was his death
Seo Geo-eok-
The gray world was cut, and the original color returned as if the skin was split in half. Particles moved again.
At the same time, the blue eyes that burned in Busker’s eye sockets went out as well.
Where was the death knight standing tall in the middle of the world, only a shabby thin skull was there.

Just like that, the skeleton holding the sword stood aloof in the eyes of everyone.
Shaa…
It rained again.
“…”
Busker looked down at the halved corps commander for a moment, then turned around.
Startle.
His gaze briefly stayed on one of the four great swords, but the time that his gaze stayed was longer than that of Doyoon, but he too soon recovered his nerves.
Dalgrak, moongrak.
Busker walked towards Doyoon.
“What do you think.”
“…her.”
Do-yoon couldn’t speak and let out a blank laugh, and this was a sufficient answer for the two of them, who were silent. Busker nodded in satisfaction.
“Actually… I wanted to show it to him, not to you.”
“Kick. Now that you have seen the end of the road, your mind is filled with thoughts of your son.”
“End. Okay.”
The black eye sockets stared at Doyoon.
“You could have known from what you just saw.”
“…”
“The path of the sword is really long.”
Do-yoon, who had advanced to a new level, was able to understand his words.
“Your turn, Roosevolnik. I am here.”
Along with Hecleus, Busker was born as an unprecedented genius in the history of the continent. Because of this, he was able to reach this state after 100 years of training with Enoch’s help, and at the same time he realized his limits.
“I guess I know now. Why did God choose you?”
Busker knew he was a genius, just like Enoch thought. I knew that Enoch was dull.
But both he and Enoch realized it only when they were all close to the end.
“You are truly a genius. You have a stronger will than anyone on the continent. You can’t even compare to me or Hecleos…”
Enoch had neither the talent of nothing nor the talent of the body. But he had more important talent than anyone else.
It was for this reason that Busker showed his way not to his son but to his friend.
“I can’t reach the point of the sword. So, Enoch, show me this time.”
He believed that Doyoon would eventually reach the end of the sword path he had never seen before.
His diligence in walking the path of the sword was not over yet.
The black eye sockets looked at Doyoon eagerly. The two looked at each other for a long time.
Shaa…
Soon, Doyoon let out a big smile.
“…okay. Let me show you someday.”
“Don’t expect it.”
Busker put the sword in the scabbard.
On the battlefield, which was being finished with their respective performances, the two who had fulfilled their roles walked and chatted.
“But at this point, shouldn’t you be at least a swordsman rather than a swordsman?”
“It’s just a title that others gave at will, there’s no work.”
“Are you proud of that? ‘I am the Sword Emperor.’”
“…noisy.”
“Kick.”
The two headed towards the center of the battlefield, where the final battle was still in full swing, in the direction where Brudet had been. Since the other warriors pushed the demons up, there would be no reason for them to step out. I thought so.
“Maybe I just won’t be able to use that power again?”
“I will. If the war is over.”
“That guy is growing up. Sooner or later, you will surpass the you of your life.”
“…maybe today.”
“What!? Huh… Whoa… That stupid guy…”
“With this body, I won’t be able to fight any longer. Now I have to hand over the title of swordsman to him.”
“I am really alive to see it. Uh, do your cheekbones go up too?”
“…”
“Kick. Congratulations.”
“…”
The two of them hurried their steps quite excitedly, not knowing anything.
Shaa…
It rained harder.
