Chapter 498
Burren swallowed dry saliva as he watched the blue radiance wrapped around his sword body.
‘Is this strong energy?’
It’s on a different level from swordsmanship. The energy of the wind surrounding the blade was endlessly condensed, and a sharpness that seemed like it could cut anything came through.
The confidence that he could defeat any opponent filled his shoulders, and it seemed that he would be able to unfold the herbivores that he could not handle.
‘That guy said I should be careful at times like this.’
Raon said that the most dangerous thing is when you think you can do anything by jumping over the wall, and advised you to calm down your excitement.
‘I can’t let go of my heart.’
What Raon said couldn’t be wrong. The opponent is a master who reached mastery long before he did. Even if he is injured, if he is not careful, he will be decapitated at once.
“To this extent… .”
The hand signal commander’s lips trembled as he brushed the sword marks on his chest.
The blood that had been pouring like a shower stopped, and the wound was tight. It seemed that the bleeding was forcibly stopped using an aura.
“Don’t think you’ve beaten me!”
The strong energy on his sword turned dark like blood, as if he had raised his power.
“I don’t think like that.”
Burren lowered his stance and raised his sword to the top.
“Until I cut your throat!”
“A kid!”
The signal signal rushes to the left. With a quick movement, drops of blood flowed from his wounds again. He also didn’t completely suture his wounds.
‘then.’
Stepping backwards, he took three steps back. He put his left foot on the rock, stretched out his right foot and drew down his sword.
The strong wind wrapped around the blade spreads out as five winds.
It was the seasonal whirlwind of the Sakpung Sword that could not be achieved even after countless trainings.
“Keugh!”
The hand signal that ran like a wild boar raised a sword.
Kyaaaaaaang!
It seemed that he was about to rush through the river, but the wind energy in the whirlwind caused a fierce rotation and broke the sword screen above the hand signal.
Blood gushed out again from the sword scar on his chest.
“Hey, man!”
“not there yet!”
Burren held the sword with both hands and bent it like a wagon wheel. The strong air formed on the blade stretched like sunlight reflected on the surface of the water and shot towards the heart of the hand signal.
Whoa!
The hand signal guards failed to properly defend themselves this time and stepped back leaving deep footprints on the ground. The impact was so severe that his left knee trembled.
“A petty bastard… .”
“You don’t have to fight up close.”
Sakpung Sword is a swordsmanship specialized in long-distance attacks, and my opponent is better at swordsmanship than I am now. There was no reason to throw away the advantage and come close to fight.
‘But this is also urgent… .’
Currently, it is Runan who maintains the windstorm. The burden will be heavy because he is enduring the center alone, which the three captains should have endured.
But for now, the first thing to do is to kill this guy for sure. If you attack clumsily and get hit, the gwangpungdae is literally annihilated.
‘Hold on a little longer.’
Burren chewed on the tip of his tongue as he stretched out the energy of the violently vibrating wind.
‘I’ll be back as soon as possible!’
* * *
“ha… .”
A thin moan escaped Runan’s mouth.
‘it’s hard.’
The bones and muscles started to scream as they maintained the center of the rubella, which originally had to be endured together by three captains.
Seeing the pain coming all the way to his lower abdomen, it seemed that he had suffered internal injuries as well.
I had to block the master’s slash to crush the checkup in between, so I really didn’t even have time to breathe.
‘I still have to endure.’
Burren was fighting someone who was stronger than the Master on this side, and Yua and Julius were also swinging their swords vigorously with bracken hands, filling the empty seats in the checkup. I couldn’t let everyone die like this.
‘and… .’
Runaan quickly turned his gaze to see Martha on Dorian’s back.
‘Because I can’t let her die like this.’
You can’t watch your first same-sex friend die in his sleep. Even if all the bones in her body were broken, she had to endure it.
Whoa!
As Runaan calmed himself in the throbbing pain, a black-haired hand signal rushed to the right and struck his sword.
A sharp blade with river currents flowing through it. If that sword strike fell as it was, the bodies of the swordsmen in the windmill would be split in half.
Cheeik!
Without hesitation, he took the step. It moved like sliding on the ice and stopped in front of the black-haired hand signal, condensing the energy of frost.
Wow!
The cold air barrier that couldn’t withstand the strong wind shattered, causing a small frost storm.
‘I’m weak… .’
The side maintaining the formation was also consuming aura and mental strength, so there was no time to attack properly.
“It’s crude.”
The black-haired signal guard snorted and lightly broke the storm of frost with the strong sword wrapped around his sword.
In order to block the strong wind that cuts through the storm, I stretched out the snow story that I had put back.
Whoa!
The power of the river was overwhelming as expected. My hands felt as if they would be torn apart by the violent impact that shattered the sword.
“eww… .”
He was more confident than anyone else when it came to his patience, but he groaned involuntarily at the overlapping pain.
“Screams don’t taste very good.”
The black-haired signalman slung his sword over his shoulder and clicked his tongue briefly.
“What do you mean?”
“Your face is pretty, but the screams coming out of your mouth are boring.”
His eyes started to glow red.
“I love the screams of worms more than swordsmanship!”
The black-haired hand signal captain giggled and ran to the left. He was aiming for Julius, who was catching his breath with his back bent.
“profit!”
Runan frowned and chased after the hand signal. With a ghastly smile, he slashed his sword at Julius’ head. It felt like an enormous amount of pressure was pushing against my body.
‘Dig in!’
Between the sword on the hand signal and Julius, a story was inserted.
Whoa!
The shock is severe. Because it wasn’t a well-established swordsmanship, his shoulders and wrists shook as if they were about to break.
“Keugh… .”
“Joe, Captain.”
Julius trembled his purple lips. He wanted to say he was fine, but his shock prevented him from opening his mouth.
I stroked his hair with my left hand and came forward.
“Is this just a small moan? What a boring woman.”
The black-haired hand signal commander frowned with his chin tucked in.
“And stupid.”
“… … .”
“If that kid hadn’t blocked his way, he wouldn’t have suffered such serious internal injuries.”
He pointed to the blood dripping from the corners of his mouth and snorted.
“this time… .”
The black-haired signalman rolled his eyes and licked his lips.
“Shall we go over there!”
He kicked the floor wildly and made his way towards the infant.
“No, stop it!”
“Never give up!”
Crane and other prosecutors tried to block the road, but the examination was twisted by the wave caused by the strong wind on the black-haired hand signal.
“Ah!”
“Hey… .”
The exhausted swordsmen were pushed back and groaned and vomited blood.
“Scream good!”
The black-haired hand signal commander stood in front of the infant with a deeper smile.
“What about the little girl’s scream… .”
“go away.”
As soon as Runan blocked Yua’s way, the black-haired hand signal came down with a sword from the left as if he had been waiting.
Wow!
It was a top-class clash between the master who had finished preparations and the expert who could not find a place, so Runan bounced back this time as well. She pierced her tightly closed lips, and thick streams of blood poured out.
“Luna sister… .”
“… are you okay.”
Runaan forced his lips to curl up. She doesn’t know if she’s laughing or crying. Her head went blank, and her gaze gradually blurred.
“You still can’t scream? You are real.”
The black-haired hand signal commander shook his head.
“Have you ever heard of poisonous species?”
“… … .”
Runan didn’t respond, but aimed his sword at the black-haired signal.
“I would have been bored normally… .”
The black-haired hand signal lightly tapped the person on the cheek and smiled.
“Are you having fun today? So this time… .”
It let out an eerie voice and dug into the center of the cracked examination. His gaze turned to Dorian, who was carrying Martha on his back.
“Don’t stab that bitch! I’ve been watching you since before. Are you close?”
The black-haired sword on top of the signal rushed towards Martha. His speed increased as he cracked the line.
This time, even if I stepped on the step with all my might, I couldn’t catch up.
“Huh!”
Dorian chewed his lips and stepped back. It was a wise move to bend his lower body while stepping on foot to get out of the way of the sword guard.
However, the strong qi formed on the sword above the hand signal blocked all ranges for Dorian to escape.
“ah… .”
Runaan’s chin trembled. As she dies, she sees her sword moving slowly towards Martha, like a kaleidoscope she feels.
‘You have to stop it. I have to stop… .’
no method. The shock he had accumulated so far seemed to have exploded all at once, and his vision was blurred.
‘Blocking? how and by what means and… .’
why should i stop
I even heard the question of why I was only defending myself until now.
When even who I was was blurred, I saw a single lamp in the world stained with blank paper.
The small back of a child, not an adult. And it was something I never forgot.
‘Raon.’
apprentice time. He is still fondly remembered for defeating him the first time he was nearly captured by the horrors of Syria again.
‘that’s right. I am… .’
I wanted to protect others like Raon, so I practiced defense-oriented swordsmanship, and took on the role of holding out in battle.
She had made her own decision in order to save her dear friend and overcome her brother’s demonic beast one day.
‘therefore… .’
You can’t give up yet.
The moment Raon’s back turned into his current form, a blue storm raged in his mind.
The blurry world returned to its original form, and I saw the sword of the black-haired hand signal trying to cut Martha and Dorian at the same time.
Runaan raised his hand. The energy of the frost that fluctuated as if it were going to explode was stretched out.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
In an instant, the cold air that sprinted through the mana circuit created an ice wall in the form of thorns between Marta and the black-haired hand signal.
It was a magnificent size, as if the entire mountain had been frozen.
What a bummer!
At that overwhelming scale, the black-haired signal guards and the sword demons and blood demons knocking on the camp came to a halt.
Runaan shot the energy of frost from the story towards the top of the ice wall.
What a bummer!
As soon as the round, condensed river air hit the ice wall, numerous cracks sprouted, causing a huge explosion.
Kwakwagwagwang!
The bursting ice wall did not disappear in vain, but became a river of silver and sprinkled showers of frost that cut through the hearts of enemies.
“Cuck!”
“Quaaaaaagh!”
“What is this!”
“Pi, dodge! All of them are strong!”
“Oops… .”
The frost storm created by Runan became the death penalty for the warriors of the White Blood Church and Holy Sword Training.
On the other hand, even a small piece did not flow to the Gwangpungdae prosecutors and civilians.
“Keugh!”
The black-haired hand signals were also busy cleaning up the pouring pieces of frost. Even his hands were slowed by the fog that spread around him.
“Does this make sense? Awakening isn’t even the dog’s name… uh?”
As I took a breather while removing the last piece of frost, Runan cut through the white fog and penetrated the space.
“I was waiting!”
The black-haired signal guard let out a bloody smile and struck down his sword. He was not careless, and there was no gap in his sword-wielding posture.
“die!”
However, as soon as the strong energy he stretched out ranan, her figure disappeared like a ghost.
“Eh, what is this… Whoops!”
The moment the black-haired signalman opened his mouth, Runaan’s sword protruded from the left and pierced his left chest.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
“He said he likes screaming.”
Runaan twisted and pulled out the sword stuck in the chest of the black-haired beacon. Unstoppable blood gushed out like a fountain.
“you you… .”
“Go while listening to your screams.”
“Damn it… .”
The black-haired hand signal commander collapsed with blood vessels in his eyes. He couldn’t even scream that he liked it.
“Ugh… .”
Runaan sat on the floor coughing up blood. Her head is also blank, and her body is heavy. She felt like she couldn’t really do anything anymore.
I exhaled bloody breath and looked to the right to see Burren slitting the opposing Master’s throat and collapsing. He, too, seemed exhausted.
“All that remains is… .”
Runaan lifted his chin and looked ahead.
* * *
“Keugh… .”
Mark Goetton groaned as he saw the sword scar on his left waist.
“I know who you are.”
The person who seemed to be the captain of the hand signals nodded slowly.
“Nakhwa is also Mark Goetton. He was called a genius at the beginning, but he is an indolent dunjae who never gets out of the ranks of master and lower class.”
He nodded slowly. There is no such thing as ridicule. It was just a calm tone of reciting the truth.
“I heard that you wander around as a mercenary, but I didn’t expect you to be here.”
“I know who you are too.”
Mark Goetton twisted his lips as he saw the sword marks on the signal commander’s nose.
“Erasing sword Balben.”
Looking at the swordsmanship that passed through the bridge of his nose and his strong swordsmanship like an iron wall, it was clear that he was a high-class mercenary, Balben.
“right.”
Balben calmly nodded without panicking in the slightest.
“Isn’t it fun? You, a famous knight, fell into a mercenary, and I, a mercenary who was only good at defense, became a swordsman of the Holy Sword Trainer.”
“not really.”
“When I saw your sword before, I thought it was absolutely unstoppable, but now it’s so light that I can push it away with one hand. It’s kind of sad.”
“Shut up. And I’m not a mercenary, I’m Sieghart’s swordsman.”
“Oh yeah. Right.”
He nodded slowly at the sight of Sieghart’s mark on Mark Goethe’s uniform.
“Raon Sieghart was also in a hurry. To choose an indolent human like you.”
“Don’t spit out his name!”
“That’s not wrong. It’s true that you were lazy, and it’s also true that my sword can’t pierce it.”
“Um… .”
Mark Goeten chewed his lip. As Balben said, his sword was as hard as an iron wall. He couldn’t pierce it even if he used all the wall art techniques.
“Things got a little messy, but… .”
Balben glanced behind him and touched his chin.
“There is no difference. It’s enough to kill and dispose of you. there… .”
He turned his gaze to where Raon and Cloud had left.
“Because Cloud-sama will be back soon.”
“That is wrong.”
Mark Gotten let out a hot breath. He straightened his back, brushing the blood from his back.
“You could kill me. The children behind me may also be beaten by you. but… .”
Looking at Balben, he shook his head resolutely.
“It is different from Raon. He will come back after slashing your master.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Balben, who had been as calm as water, burst into a frenzy while clutching his forehead.
“Stupid. It’s not because I became Nakhwado for nothing.”
Balben shook his head with a sneer on his lips.
“You must have heard who Cloud is? He is the disciple of Lord Lian. He learned countless martial arts and rose to the rank of grand master. He is a person who even possesses the talent of heavenly high who can embody the swordsmanship of others to a superior level without seeing it a few times. Only losing to the master… .”
“That doesn’t matter.”
“what?”
“Even if your master reaches transcendence, Raon-nim will not lose. And talent is also above him.”
Mark Goeten’s eyes didn’t budge the slightest, as if they were driven into tacks.
“Raon said he would be back soon, and what he said is never wrong.”
Up until now, Raon’s words had not gone awry even once.
‘It’s been like that since the first time we met.’
He may not be able to become strong, but he said he would do his best to help, and he did as he said.
It’s been said countless times, but everyone who said it only wanted their power as a clumsy master.
Except for one Raon.
Rather than using power, he helped himself in his training in various ways, as he said at the beginning, and the results actually showed.
Raon, who raised the goal that my family, friends, and myself had given up on, was God itself to me.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
As he recalled the training he had with Raon, his body, which had been filled with fatigue and pain, was filled with new vitality.
“I made a mistake.”
“I thought so. Something like Raon can beat Cloud-sama… .”
“No, that’s not what I meant.
Mark Goetton lifted his chin slowly. A different light lingered in his eyes.
“Raon-nim said he was asking me. I, and the children behind me, must live until He comes.”
He stamped his feet and raised the sword.
“come!”
“This trash.”
Balben twisted his mouth and thrust out the sword that was tilted to the right.
Whoa!
A shock to the shoulder. His sword was no longer specialized for defense. His attacks also hardened, to the point of pushing in his wading.
Crispy!
After forcibly exploding his muscle power to push Balben away, he poured out the Byeokrando method one after another. Sparks like firecrackers filled the air, but Balben did not break through, as if he had become a rock.
“A guy with no skills doesn’t even have the right to rob his mouth.”
Balben sneered and waved his wrist. His swordsmanship began to eat up space from the floor.
‘uh?’
Mark Goetton narrowed his eyes as he watched Balben’s sword attack.
‘This form… .’
Balben’s swordsmanship was similar to the one he showed when sparring with Raon not too long ago.
[Sir Mark’s attack is strong. If you use psychological warfare well, even a master intermediate will be able to cut it. However, due to the nature of the sword, if you meet a master of defense, you will be pushed back. What are you going to do then?]
[Then, while strengthening my defense… .]
[The Tao is not such a weapon. You absolutely have to break through. Even if you risk your life.]
As if demonstrating himself, Raon struck down a rough sword strike and pierced the block made by the Byeokrando.
He used a similar aura, but his sword contained a will to cut through anything.
‘You have to break through. If I can’t pierce, I’ll die!’
Recalling Raon’s teachings, he raised his sword. ankles, waist, shoulders and wrists. He raised his entire body like a sword and struck the Byeokrando.
However, Balben’s shield was not pierced this time either. still fell I drew endlessly, holding my breath and enduring the throbbing pain in my lower extremity.
“Hey, man!”
Far from stopping, wrinkles were drawn on Balben’s face as the attack became stronger and faster.
“Then you will die first!”
“Haaaaaa!”
Mark Goetton responded with a spirited response. He was determined to die first if he couldn’t penetrate the enemy as Raon advised.
A life-and-death battle, the master’s important instructions, and the confidence that he could do it himself came out of his skin so far.
My head is clear, and my hands are light. It may be a retrograde antijoy that is said to come before death.
Just like a candle that is about to go out burns the loudest, the body and danjeon are filled with strength again.
Laughter emerges. Because I have the strength to wield the sword once more.
“Kuaaaaa!”
Mark Goetton let out a spirit that shook the earth. He poured out all of his body, aura, and mind and shot down the sword that split the night sky in two.
The strong wind wrapped around the blade flickered as if the moonlight had risen.
“Slow!”
Balben bit his lip and kicked the ground. The blade of the sword, entwined in the fierce wind, was fired at Mark Goeten’s heart.
“uh?”
But his sword did not pierce Mark Goetton’s heart, but his shoulder.
‘This, this… .’
Balben widened his eyes. His own wrist was shaking like a paper boat riding in the wind.
As he tried to block Mark Goetton’s endless snipers, his hands and wrists also suffered.
oh oh oh!
Mark Goetton’s expression did not change even though the flesh from his shoulder had been ripped off.
stomp one’s feet and strike swords. Seomcheon Byeokroe, the season of Byeokrando. The brain energy formed on the pole became a thunder that divided the world and fell.
Chiyiying!
Balben pulled out his sword and tried to solidify his defense, but the thunderbolt was faster.
Kyaaaaang!
The sword shattered as if it had been bitten, and scars appeared on his body as if struck by lightning.
“Rain, damn it… .”
Balbell looked at the lightning bolt-shaped scars on his body and fell backwards.
“ah… .”
Mark Goetton leaned over, hammering his sword into the ground. he could figure it out for himself. That I finally broke the wall and reached the master intermediate level. That Raon’s promise was fulfilled.
Ten years of being abandoned by family, friends, colleagues, and the world passed by, and tears flowed down without realizing it.
Mark Goetton roared towards the sky, recalling Raon’s face, the last time he held his hand.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaa!”
It was a cry of gratitude to the master who gave him a farewell message to let go of his incompetent and indolent self and a new life.
