Episode 33
“Please kill me.”
The young man, covered in loose hair, blood and dust, knelt. The young man’s name is Lee So-gwang. He was the older brother of the deceased Li Su-kun and the chief of rumors of the Hengshan Inspection.
“Report. With your own mouth.”
People in the barracks froze at the cool voice. Each and every one of them is a heavyweight in the Hengshan inspection, and they are masters who have crossed rivers and lakes for a long time.
But even they had to bow their heads in front of one person.
“father… …
“That is not the answer I want.”
Blood Rang Sword 2 Cheonbaek didn’t even look back. Lee So-gwang brought out a trembling voice.
“The survivors are all twenty-three, including me. The fate of the rest is unknown.”
A heavy silence fell in the middle.
About two hundred men were killed or captured, and three top masters were lost. It’s hard to avoid being blamed for this alone, but there was a bigger problem.
“What is your order?”
“… … It is an advance until the annihilation of the Taewon Jinga branch and the Yangtze.”
“After that.”
“We are blocking the road and waiting for the main unit to join.”
“What was the reason you went all the way to Honju?”
“I got the information, the information.”
“information?”
“yes. It is said that Jo-Pil, one of the first people, chased and captured Jin Tae-Kyung to Honju. but… …
“He must have asked for help since he was being chased by Taewon and Jinga’s pursuers.”
Lee So-gwang lowered his head, and Lee Cheon-baek let out an empty laugh.
“Who gave you that information?”
“I was a ronin under Jo Pil.”
“Do you still think so?”
“… … no.”
slam!
Lee So-gwang’s face turned around. 2,000 eyes like flames poured over them.
“Thank you for being born as my son.”
In the end, the situation ended when Lee So-gwang, who was ordered to return to the Hengsan Checkpoint, withdrew. Now is the time to take a hard look at reality.
“The current situation?”
“We lost 200 troops, but more than half of them were hurriedly gathered ronin, so the damage is not as great as we thought. the problem is… …
“That means we lost three top players.”
Icheonbaek felt sick to his stomach. Hangsan twins who have been together for twenty years. And Jo Pil, whom he hired with a lot of money, also died.
A peak master is an existence that can change the flow of battle. The void must be filled somehow.
“Catch more. Whether it’s buying ronin from Black City or hiring magic bandits, no matter what.”
“The spending is too big. Now that everything in Honju has been known, they will try to raise the ransom.”
“Not even trustworthy guys. In particular, aren’t magicians like human butchers? If you hire such people, the reputation of the main text will be damaged later… … However, the two thousand baek did not blink an eye.
“Good. Hire them all.”
“Munju!”
“Only the number of people gathered here is about five hundred. With more than twice as many troops, the number of top performers is not pushed back.”
“My son thought so too.
In the end, I got catnip in Honju.”
“that……
“Don’t worry about human butchers or whatever, do your best. If I lose this war, I will lose my life, not my reputation!”
The leaders realized that persuasion was meaningless due to Lee Chun-baek’s unholy order. But that didn’t mean the whole story was over.
“The morale of the samurai makes no sense.”
“A defeat in Honju is also a defeat, but I am shaken by the news that Jin Tae-gyeong killed Jo-pil, one of the first people.”
Taekyung Jin. Hearing the name of the enemy, two thousand baek was twisted in the stomach.
‘Are there people who believe in such stupid rumors?’
Jin Tae-gyeong, that pathetic bastard poisoned his son, and now he has become a master. It’s a ploy that shows the inside. Lee Cheonbaek’s teeth trembled at Taewon Jinga’s meanness.
“Find out those who spread such nonsense. Not a single one is missing!”
Taking a few of them as an example and beheading them would lower morale, but prevent collapse. Now is the time to hold back and move on.
“It’s Sahol. After four halls, we advance to Taewon!”
Such is Moorim’s silver wish. The chain of silver won’t break until one of them collapses.
‘I’ll take them all away. Just like you did.’
“It’s a great resilience.”
The senator stuck out his tongue. It’s been two days since he came to his senses. The scab had fallen off last night and white skin had sprouted.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this in 10 years as a member of parliament.”
The speed of recovery is phenomenal even to me. The flesh melted by the heat of the flame extension, the fractured bones and the deep sword scars were no longer to be found. Oh, and on top of that, internal injuries too.
‘It’s probably the effect of leveling up.’
There is only one way to achieve a similar effect in real life.
It is the healing magic used by a very small number of so-called healers.
‘Is it impossible to fully heal?’
It was a bit disappointing, but it turned out better.
If all wounds were healed at once after leveling up, it would have been difficult to avoid suspicion.
Even now, the senator was glancing at me like a monster.
“Huh. It is a strange thing. It’s too much to see the efficacy of 100 years old ginseng… … 「
“Baeknyeonseolsam?”
I remember seeing it in a martial arts novel. Hundred-year-old wild ginseng. What is it?
‘Why did it come out all of a sudden? ,The legislator explained to me puzzled. He was one of the few N叩C’s I know to have lost his memory.
“Around this time last year, the warehouse of the Medicine King’s Hall was robbed.”
aha. As soon as you hear it, you feel it.
At that time, among the stolen medicinal materials, Baeknyeonseolsam must have been included, and the culprit is at least…
“The head of the Medicine King went into a fit of rage.”
The senator gave an awkward smile.
“Anyway, it’s not something that can be obtained with only money, so you stole an elixir that can gain 20 years of gongpower at once.”
“Twenty years of work?”
There was something that suddenly came to mind. The third air power that did not follow my control.
‘That’s it.’
At the same time, a sense of sadness came over me. At the last moment, while using the skill, most of the 20-year air power of the 100 Year Snow Three disappeared.
It was a catastrophe that happened because it was out of control and not purely under my control.
‘It’s a one-time use.’
Misunderstanding my wrinkled expression, the lawmaker hurriedly said,
“Of course, Confucius must have made such a decision because he had great intentions.”
The big meaning is plague. I must have eaten it to take care of my body.
Thanks to the power of Baeknyeonseolsam, he survived, but it is still a waste. I’m sorry I’m going to die
“Since you are almost recovered, there should be no problems with your movement. Then I’m fine.”
As soon as the lawmaker hurriedly left his seat, he opened the system window.
‘Open status window.’

‘It was very big.’
It seems like just yesterday that I was trembling with bandits, but now I am a master in my own way. While catching Jo-Pil, his level jumped up and he gained a huge reputation.
And that’s not all. In addition to the 4 years of benefits gained thanks to absorbing some of the remaining 100-year-old Seolsam’s energy…

Rating: Climax.
State: 2 stars.
Restrictions: Taekyung Jin.
Effect: Consumes physical strength and air power to deliver a powerful blow. Depending on the degree, there was a new martial art or skill that fell helpless for a certain period of time. However, there was a big difference from the skill in real life.
‘The amount and power consumed can be adjusted.’
stab hard. This skill, now called Ilseom, was impossible to overuse. It can instantaneously produce destructive power several levels higher, but it consumes all its power with just one shot.
‘No, maybe it was originally a skill that could be adjusted.’
In reality, I am an F-class hunter. His physical abilities and his mana were insignificant. But this game, Moorim, is different.
He was a Moorim man with 15 years of agility and superior physical abilities than NPCs who were 2 or 30 levels apart. As the bowl containing the power changes, the original utilization is revealed.
‘I got stronger again.’
It seems like yesterday that I was robbed by Hyuk Moo-jin and learned martial arts, but now I have mastered the climax.
Outside the window, they chant my name several times a day.
Some kind of Shanxi sleepyong, he said, a family hero.
‘A hero.’
I never thought I’d hear something like that in my life. It is a word that has nothing to do with me, who is an F-class hunter and has a life motto of safety first.
I lay still and wiggled my hands. The palms of the boy, who were white and soft, were covered with calluses before he knew it.
‘It means he defeated Jopil with this hand.’
If you add up all the people I’ve defeated, there are dozens. From bandits to romans, there were those who were evaluated as first-rate, but I survived.
He even defeated Jo-pil, a top master who seemed impossible to beat.
Suddenly, I remembered what Wepin had said.
‘They said that the one who survives is the strongest.’
According to him, I am definitely strong. It’s because he survived the enemies he’s faced so far and is being called a hero. To be honest… … .
‘It’s not a bad feeling.’
In reality I am shabby.
He is the breadwinner who has to eat, sleep and support his family in a 3-pyeong gosiwon studio. I can’t be a hero, and I don’t want to be.
Jin Tae-gyeong, the lowest-ranking hunter who fights every day just praying to survive.
that was me
Seung] But in this game, it’s different.’
F-rank hunter Jin Tae-kyung did a lot of things that he couldn’t. at least???… I can protect those who believe in me and follow me from the hands of my enemies. Recognized by people and called a hero.
Everything here is virtual, and even if the people you see are NPCs, that fact doesn’t change.
When I thought about that, I suddenly laughed.
‘This is why the game is scary.’
Is it a game addiction?
Before I knew it, I found myself enjoying living as Jin Tae-gyeong, a Moorim. Because this is a game Because I can turn all the impossible into possible.
But now is the time to get out.
A place full of impossible, to reality. There is my family and the real me.
‘Check the quest window.’

Now, there are two conditions left before logging out. Reputation can heal with time. As rumors about me spread, it will continue to rise. The problem is different.
“First class.”
What on earth does it take to be first-rate?
If it’s not the level, the ability, or the reputation… … .
‘Aerodynamics? Or should I raise the level of martial arts? Then a polite voice came from outside the door.
“Confucius, Lord Soga is looking for you.”
“ah”
right. When you don’t know, it’s best to ask. In that sense, Jin Wei-gyeong, the peak master, is the best private tutor.
