30. Sword (2)
Kim Jin-tae did not like Lee Do-jin.
First of all, starting from being in the first class in combat, and now taking first place in the exam.
With a wooden sword in his hand, and even that attitude of not knowing defeat.
I didn’t like everything.
So I wanted to give that arrogant daytime a sense of inferiority.
A brilliance bloomed on Kim Jin-tae’s sword.
***
I have no feelings for him.
I threw a plausible provocation because I needed an example.
Now, it wasn’t just Team 12 and Team 21 that were around this named monster area.
Hyenas watching our nervous warfare from a distance. It was an example to shake them off.
Kim Jin-tae’s sword swung at me in a blue trail.
I followed the trajectory with both eyes.
I saw it.
Every movement of Kim Jin-tae.
It was such a pitiful move that I didn’t even feel the need to use a wooden sword.
I moved my foot.
Kwaaak!
I let go of Kim Jin-tae’s sword and dug right in front of him.
The guy’s eyes widened as if he didn’t know that he would suddenly come in.
I used the new technique in my body.
The Reverse Heaven Sacred Art wriggled in the danteon. A warm energy flowed to the fingertips.
I moved my left hand. Strange heat flowed out and sprayed into the air.
Bucky!
He quickly tapped Kim Jin-tae’s upper body three times.
It was a combination attack learned over the shoulder while being hit by the King of Powers, Hwang Bo Se-ryeong.
The fist entered the stomach and the pit of the stomach in the center of the upper body.
The armor of the battle suit he was wearing was abnormally distorted.
The strength was adjusted. Just enough to penetrate the defense of the battle suit and deliver tangible damage.
Kim Jin-tae trembled with a loud noise as if he was out of breath.
B-Billion!
He punched his stomach once more.
Then, with a wooden sword, he hit the back of the nose of the sword Kim Jin-tae was holding.
The sword was slammed to the floor. The bridge of the nose, broken in two pieces, fell to the floor of the cave.
I tripped and tripped Kim Jin-tae. His body was sprawled helplessly.
It was absurd.
I thought I should break his arm and subdue him, but I didn’t even have to.
“I can’t even control the distance, so what kind of sword are you going to use?”
I said, staring at Kim Jin-tae, who was still wriggling like a bug.
I know these guys are mistaken.
They look ridiculous, so they’re mistaking that they’re using wooden swords even in mock tests.
From noble mtl dot com
I had no intention of correcting that misunderstanding.
It has nothing to do with me even if I continue to be mistaken.
“I didn’t even feel the need to use a wooden sword. To your pathetic movements.”
Kim Jin-tae’s face was distorted.
“This… This bastard.”
I should have calmed down enough to get up now, but I can’t get up. Or weakness in the legs. I must have been scared
Innumerable eyes were fixed on me.
There seemed to be around 20 people surrounding the 12th and 21st groups.
“I have no intention of giving up even named monsters. If someone is greedy, or if you really want to interfere, follow our group.”
The story I’m telling you now was to that audience.
“They will definitely kill you in the final hour of the PvP battle.”
The crowd flinched. But no words came out.
Confirming the silence, I opened the huge rock entrance to the named monster area with the crew, including tanker Park Seong-gu.
That’s right-
After all the crew came in, the door was closed after a while.
***
There was a long podium. At the end of the platform was a chair.
It was the throne.
And on that throne sat a lizardman as tall as an ogre.
The King of Lizardmen rose from his throne and descended from the podium.
Queueek!
It didn’t take that long for the Lizardman King to vomit blood and be slain.
The desperate Lizardman King spewed out 15 black marbles.
Lee Do-jin packed all the marbles.
The moment you are about to leave the named monster area.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The ground began to shake.
“What, all of a sudden.”
Park Seong-gu raised his shield.
Is this area only shaking? Lee Do-jin quickly looked around the room.
Liu Jia shook her head slowly.
“This dungeon, the entire cave is shaking. Like… Just as the earth’s crust fluctuates.”
As soon as Ryu Ji-ah’s words passed by the ears of the members, their vision went dark at the same time.
-The terrain of the dungeon is being transformed. It’s part of the exam.
-Cadets, please stay still.
-Because you are invincible while transforming, there is no problem with survival.
Quad de de de de de de deuk!
With a roar like a scream as the world twists.
Lee Do-jin did not lose his mind.
He operated Qigong inside the chamber and maintained a state of tension in his body.
But even so, when I opened my eyes after the change in the dungeon’s topography, it was complete darkness in front of me.
A dark battle without an inch of light.
A chilly sensation oppressed his entire body.
The only thing that came into sight was the notification window telling the remaining time.
-Time remaining until end of exam 02:25:12
“Who is around?”
As soon as Lee Do-jin’s words were finished, a soft voice was heard along with the sound of pretending to be human.
“Dojin.”
It was Jiah Ryu’s voice.
“It is dark. It looks like it’s just the two of us.”
Unlike Lee Do-jin, Ryu Ji-ah was looking at Lee Do-jin.
A ray of light shimmers in the darkness.
Because that light was Lee Do-jin.
A person with a soul who stood at the crossroads of life and death while learning the simbeop seemed to be the light.
In the field of view of the blind, those who had the light that shined were mostly superhumans among the heroes.
Jia Ryu thought it was the level of the soul.
Among her first-year students, Do-jin Lee is the only one with that brilliance.
“First of all…we have to get out of here.”
He was showing a look of bewilderment he had never seen before in total darkness.
“Would you like to raise your hand?”
Lee Do-jin raised his right hand without answering.
“Open your palm.”
Lee Do-jin complied with Ji-ah Ryu’s words. Ryu Ji-ah’s palm overlapped Lee Do-jin’s palm.
Warm warmth spread to both of them.
Jiing…
A faint wave of energy wriggled in Jiah Ryu’s palm. The airflow of that energy flowed into Lee Do-jin’s palm.
Harmless.
It was a clear energy with no aggressive intentions.
Jia Ryu’s clear voice rang in Lee Do-jin’s ears.
“There are many ways to find your way in the dark. I can identify the location of life with the hearing that I have cultivated since childhood, but that is something that Dojin, who does not live in darkness by nature, cannot do right away.”
Jiah Ryu once more sent a wave of clear energy through her palm.
“Looking for a wall and letting go like this. Shedding momentum, which is mainly used by top-notch hunters who have learned martial arts. In that way, you have to make life respond.”
Ryu Ji-ah grabbed Lee Do-jin’s hand tightly.
“And also to create a sense of humor. I think Do-jin can do it.”
“How do you feel?”
“Yes, it is a technology that is the cornerstone of the so-called Mind’s Eye. Just as there are hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It creates another sense with Ki.”
Looking at Ryu Jia, who seemed fearless in her terrible darkness, she realized that there were many things she still didn’t know about her morning training buddy.
“It’s not that great. If it was a martial artist like Dojin, he would have been using it without even realizing it. It’s just that you focus your energy and heart on seeing the world.”
Jerbug.
The two walked side by side.
“Putting the flag around the heart. Spread your qi to the beat of your heart. Inside the body. Shall we try it?”
Lee Do-jin followed Ji-ah Ryu’s words.
Operating the Reverse Heaven Artifact. She wrapped a flag around her heart.
Thumping-
Then, he spread the wave of energy in time with his heartbeat.
The wave was repeated, and the energy spread throughout the body.
“And to face it. My gig. It is to be sure that you can see the world.”
Wheei…
I felt like I could hear the flow of the atmosphere that I hadn’t felt before.
It was a strange feeling.
I can’t see anything. My eyesight seemed to be blurred.
Sasasak-
I heard something rapidly approaching. I still couldn’t see anything, but my heightened senses and senses of hearing allowed me to guess the space where my opponent would be.
“And in the end, you have no choice but to trust your own sword.”
With those words, Dojin Lee and Jia Ryu let go of each other’s hands. The warm feeling disappears. The cool handle of the sword fills my hand.
It’s cool, but because it’s cool, you can trust it thoroughly.
The sword was such an existence to the swordsman.
Kwaaak!
The sword dance unfolded in the hands of the two who raised their feet at the same time.
Recognizing Dojin Lee and Jia Ryu as prey, the huge cave spider’s legs were cut off.
After avoiding all the spider webs, Lee Do-jin jumped on the back of the cave spider and stabbed a wooden sword shimmering with colorless energy into his throat.
“I’ve been walking down that road. I don’t think I was wrong with that sword.”
Jia Ryu walked past the corpse of the cave spider and picked up something.
It was a lantern.
As I blew on the energy, a turquoise light flowed from the lantern.
And that light cleared away the darkness of the darkness.
‘It’s bright.’
In Lee Do-jin’s eyes, Ryu Ji-ah, who picked up the lantern, was clearly visible.
A swordsman with both eyes closed.
Jia Ryu’s eyesight would still be between white and black. Stood alone
As resolute as a sharpened knife.
“After all, I came to the academy. Because I was able to make a friend like Do-jin.”
Lee Do-jin opened her mouth slowly.
“I think so too.”
Jia Ryu smiled.
“Let’s go now. In the dark.”
The two walked through the cave together.
She walked with a sword drawn with two swords.
