Episode 328 Preston Castle (5)
Whoa.
Sein swung his sword alone in the training hall.
Normally, I would have focused solely on the sword without any distracting thoughts, but now the more I swing the sword, the more I think about it.
In the end, after turning the thirty-two seconds of the Northern Heavenly Sword a couple of times, he put the sword back.
“Whoa…”
Sein sighed and sat down on the floor.
‘What should I do?’
Ever since I was young, I’ve been listening to it until it hurts my ears. To preserve the tradition and to stick to the Northern Heavenly Sword handed down from our ancestors.
However, the real one was not the Northern Heavenly Sword that they had protected, but the Northern Heavenly Sword that Baek Woo-jin had shown.
‘It was completely different.’
The man’s Northern Heavenly Sword was fast, strong, and colorful. The explosive power that exploded like a tsunami from time to time turned well-known herbivores into completely unfamiliar people.
“Baek Woo-jin.”
Sein bit his lower lip. Even after thinking about it again and again, Baek Woo-jin’s sword was like the Northern Heavenly Sword of the first Lord of Seongju, Preston.
‘But…’
Even if his sword is truly the Northern Heavenly Famous Sword, we cannot blindly follow it.
It was strange for him to suddenly come and help unilaterally, and to give such great help to someone who had deceived him.
‘I really don’t know.’
My head hurts again. In times like this, you should just swing the sword without thinking, but no matter what you do, it’s frustrating.
‘Then shall we just try it once?’
I thought about trying to imitate the Northern Heavenly Sword that Baek Woo-jin showed me. Isn’t it wrong to follow along?
If what he showed me was the real Northern Heavenly Famous Sword, I would have to choose it eventually, so I thought it would be a good idea to practice it in advance.
“good.”
Sein suddenly stood up. After calmly taking a deep breath, I raised my sword.
‘Like him.’
What you picture in your head is not your own Galaxy Pendulum, which you have been practicing your whole life, but Baek Woo-jin’s Galaxy Pendulum, which has not disappeared even for a single moment over the past week.
I lowered my sword, remembering that beautiful curve.
Hahaha!
The air in the training hall splits.
It was not a single strong line like before, but a soft sword strike that could be applied anywhere.
“Ah…”
Sein’s hand holding the sword trembled.
‘This is it. This was it!’
I was thrilled. The thirst I felt while practicing the Northern Heavenly Sword seemed to be satisfied in an instant.
‘That person’s Northern Heavenly Sword was real.’
I could tell just by looking at the Milky Way pendulum. The real Northern Heavenly Sword is not his sword, but Baek Woo-jin’s sword.
Phew.
Sein used the method shown by Baek Woo-jin to use the Northern Heavenly Sword.
“Haa….”
I’m sweating and my breathing is getting harder. But it’s fun. It’s so enjoyable.
The pure joy of becoming as strong as when I first held the sword enveloped my entire body.
thud!
Just as Sein was about to give in to the joy and fall into the sword, the door to the training hall opened roughly.
“Lord Seong!”
Guard leader Darian came running with a pale expression.
“Darian?”
“No guy is back.”
“No way…”
“It’s a Kraken! This time they have made their appearance properly and the sea monsters are also coming in!”
“…let’s go.”
**
Sein used his footwork with all his might and ran to the north wall. You can see warriors standing in front of the north wall.
“iced coffee!”
“Uh…”
“How did they do that…”
Even though they were next to them, they didn’t even say hello and were staring up at the wall in fascination.
I raised my head to follow the warriors.
The Kraken’s tentacles, which transcend the word ‘big’, rise endlessly into the sky. The entire Preston Castle fell darkly in the shadow.
“Ah…”
A gasp of air came out of my mouth as the tentacles grew bigger and longer than before.
“Lord Seong! Look below!”
Sein lowered his head at Darian’s words. I’m in the middle of mountain climbing. Countless sea monsters were coming up from under the tentacles.
“Damn it…”
Sein gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
“Abandon the north wall and stop the monsters here! “Everyone come down!”
“Lord Seong! Abandoning the North Wall….”
“But the North Wall is our pride and tradition….”
“There’s nothing we can do! “If you protect the North Wall, you will be annihilated!”
Without the Kraken, defending the North Wall against its eight tentacles would have been tantamount to suicide.
thud!
The walls rumble.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The north wall collapses due to the continuous strikes of the giant tentacle.
“Oh my…”
“A wall of rice!”
“The North Wall has collapsed….”
Preston’s pride in protecting the North Sea for hundreds of years is broken along with the wall. The warriors’ eyes shook with fear at the vicious sight.
“North Wall…”
Sein gritted his teeth as he watched the wall collapsing. Tradition has already collapsed. Now is the time to save people, not traditions.
Coo coo coo coo!
The North Wall sinks completely and the body of the Kraken can be seen riding on the majesty of the North Sea.
“Huh…”
I can’t help but laugh.
Its eight tentacle-like body, like a bridge in the sky, is as majestic as this castle. It’s so huge that it’s hard to capture it all at a glance. Even if it were a dragon, it wouldn’t be that big.
“Ah….”
“Lord Seo Seong….”
“Damn it! “How can I stop that?”
When they saw the Kraken’s tentacles rising into the sky again, the warriors retreated in horror.
“I’m in charge of the Kraken! You defend that position! “Never back down!”
Sein jumped out toward the North Sea and drew his sword. The aura raised with all its might was poured into the sword body.
Quaaaaa!
The kraken turned to see the silver river rising up to the north wall. He changed the trajectory of the tentacle that was trying to hit the castle and aimed at him.
“Hmph!”
Sein gritted his teeth and raised his sword upward to strike. This is the Weiyeon Wall of the Northern Heavenly Sword.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
A huge tentacle collided with a sword that seemed to touch the sea, and a roar erupted.
“Ugh!”
The terrifying force coming from the tentacles made me groan, but I had to hold on. The moment you break, everyone in Preston Castle is dead.
“Hwaaaap!”
Sein shouted and pushed away the Kraken’s tentacles.
Coo coo coo coo!
The amazing sight of the kraken’s tentacle being pushed away with that small sword gave the warriors their courage back.
“The Lord of the Castle will stop the Kraken! Don’t back down! Stop the approaching monsters!”
“Defend your position and raise your sword!”
“Stop it!”
The warriors raised their swords towards the monsters coming over the collapsed north wall.
But they all forgot. There are still seven Kraken tentacles left.
Whoa!
A second tentacle hits the wall on the right with a sound that sounds like the sky is falling.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Due to the tremendous force, the remaining remains of the wall were reduced to dust and all the buildings in front of it collapsed.
Wow!
This time it’s on the left. Kraken’s third tentacle reduced the left wall to ruins and crushed the warriors in front of it.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Seo Seonglord!”
“Ugh! “This side was also breached!”
“One more tentacle coming down! Avoid everything!”
“Kaaaaaaak!”
The sounds of soldiers dying and despairing voices were heard from all directions.
bang! Kwaaaaang!
The Kraken’s tentacles mercilessly destroyed the north wall and the castle.
“Damn it…”
Sein bit his lip until it bled.
‘What should I do….’
I can’t see the answer.
It was difficult to deal with two tentacles, but now there were five moving tentacles and the number of approaching monsters was uncountable.
‘If only I had been a little faster…’
The thought that never ended in my mind was that if I had known the true meaning of the Northern Heavenly Famous Sword just a little sooner, if I had learned the Northern Heavenly Famous Sword properly, things like this would not have happened.
‘That person…’
If Baek Woo-jin comes, we can stop the Kraken. But he left the castle a week ago and has not returned yet.
“Shit!”
No matter how much I tried to block the two tentacles, the Kraken did not stop. With the remaining tentacles, the northern wall of the castle was destroyed and the warriors were crushed.
“done.”
Just when I thought everything was over.
[Koooooo!]
I raised my head to the monster’s roar that echoed through the sky.
“Dragon?”
A dragon whose entire body is burning with black flames flies through the air. The black flames blooming from the dragon’s wings fall as rain.
Hwaaaaaaa!
The black flames that poured out burned over the remains of the northern wall and turned all the monsters that crossed the wall into ashes.
Kwaaaaang!
A black-haired man steps down from above the black flames. Even the blackening that melts everything could not invade his existence.
“Baek Woo-jin…”
I remembered.
A black coat, black hair, a black sword and a black dragon. The black dragon, one of the legends he created, melted away the monsters that came from all directions.
“It looks like you’ve finally changed your mind.”
Baek Woo-jin stepped forward without looking back.
“I will show you the way.”
He drew his sword. A vivid black force soared through the sword.
“Eunhachu.”
He said the first attack of the Northern Heavenly Sword and struck down the tentacle of the kraken writhing on the floor.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
His swordplay was shaken, but not from lack of strength. The kraken’s tentacles exploded with softness mixed with strength and speed.
‘How could that…’
Sein widened his eyes. The Kraken’s tentacles, which he could not cut down even with all his might, dig out like soft ground. I never imagined that those strong tentacles could be torn apart so easily.
[Kyaaaa!]
The North Sea was churning and the body of the Kraken rose up. Its enormity surpassed this castle, and its movements caused a huge tidal wave.
“I can see it now.”
Baek Woo-jin stepped forward.
“Baek Gyeol-seon.”
He said the second stroke of the Northern Heavenly Sword and drew the sword in a straight line.
Sigh!
It’s fast yet smooth. A black sword wind blew from the shaking sword play and split the pouring tidal wave.
[Keaaaaa!]
The Kraken roared again and raised three tentacles at the same time. Tentacles fall in an arc in the air.
Baek Woo-jin raised his sword in front of the Kraken’s attack, which, if hit correctly, would cause the castle itself to collapse.
“Wiyeonbyeok.”
The defense of the Beukcheonmyeong Sword, which blocks multiple attacks with a single sword, unfolds the herbivorous wall of defense.
Wooooow!
Three tentacles pour out onto the blurry cross-shaped sword screen.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The sword curtain, which seemed so weak that it could be erased by just the wind, did not break even when it blocked three tentacles at the same time.
Cracking.
Sein bumped his upper and lower teeth.
‘It’s not much different from my Auror.’
The amount of auror Baek Woo-jin used was similar to his own, but his stomach wall blocked three tentacles at the same time, unlike himself, who was unable to block even one tentacle.
He was able to overwhelm that gigantic monster with only his mastery of swordsmanship.
“Isn’t that a false wall?”
“It was definitely Bae Baek Gyeol-seon earlier.”
“At first it was the Milky Way.”
The confused voices of the soldiers are heard from behind.
“But it’s a little different.”
“Not only strength, but softness….”
“Using the Northern Heavenly Famous Sword like that…”
Baek Woo-jin was directly showing what the Northern Heavenly Famous Sword’s true intention was.
[Kiiiiii!]
The Kraken seemed angry and approached the north wall. Except for the two tentacles at the back, it draws the remaining six tentacles and violently strikes the ground.
Quaaaang! Quagwagwagwang!
The sky sounded as if it was about to collapse and the axis of the earth shook, but Baek Woo-jin did not back down.
He showed off every single skill of the Northern Heavenly Sword and completely blocked the Kraken’s attack.
‘I can’t believe that’s possible…’
The more I look at it, the more amazed I am.
Although he did not see the first lord of Seongju’s Bukcheonmyeong Sword, it seemed unlikely that he would be able to show swordsmanship better than Baek Woo-jin’s even if he came back alive.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Pow!
The Kraken’s tentacle bursts as if it were a balloon. Baek Woo-jin cut off two tentacles at the same time with the 22nd herbivorous twin blade of the Northern Heavenly Sword.
[Kyaaaa!]
The Kraken turned around. The two exploded tentacles were submerged in the North Sea, and the remaining six tentacles were twisted and raised into the sky.
Coo coo coo coo!
Its form is literally like a mace. A tentacle wrapped like a mace fell towards Baek Woo-jin.
‘I can’t stop it…’
Sein trembled. A fearsome power can be felt from the mace where the six tentacles come together. Even if I drew the Beihai Hyeonhwan with all my might, it seemed like I couldn’t stop that attack.
Wooooow!
Baek Woo-jin laid his sword on its side. It is a state of readiness for the Northern Wei Xing wind.
Coo coo coo coo!
He raised his sword just before the Kraken’s tentacle mace reached him. The black flames burning from the sword become a harsh wind and blow.
The wind wrapped in jet-black energy flexibly caught the tentacle’s mace and exploded using its elasticity.
Fuuuuuuu!
The vicious cold wind hidden in the softness bloomed and exploded all six of the Kraken’s tentacles at the same time.
Paaaaa!
Blue blood and green flesh fall to the shore.
[Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
!? What is contained in those huge eyes is the fear of humans.
“Where are you going?”
Baek Woo-jin left the shore covered in blue blood and ran across the sea. As if he were a sea god, his speed did not slow down at all as he stepped on the North Sea.
[Kkeeeeeek!]
The Kraken tried to dive into the sea, but Baek Woo-jin was already in front of the monster.
Cheeeeee!
Jet black light blooms from the sword body of Seolyeonggeom. He lowered his sword, burning endlessly as if it would reach the horizon.
Quaaaaa!
The sea rises from a black line open in the air. Black light flickers and engulfs the blue sea.
North Sea Hyeonhwan.
The final season of the Northern Heavenly Sword, which is said to manifest the North Sea, has revealed its true form for the first time in hundreds of years.
The calm, muted sea suddenly changes. Dozens of waterspouts rose over the sea and a huge tsunami arose.
Hwaaaaa!
The Kraken, which was trying to dive, was forcibly dragged up by the waterspout that descended like a pillar.
[Kyaaaa!]
Each waterspout contained enormous energy, so the Kraken’s body exploded without mercy and soared above the sea level.
[Keeeeee….]
A huge tsunami that exceeds the body of the Kraken pours down on top of the screaming Kraken.
Quaaaaa!
The Kraken’s body, wrapped in the tidal wave of the river, is erased like frost in front of the sun.
[Kki! Ki -ah ….]
Kraken was not able to scramble even the screams of the terminal, and he was cut off by the tsunami and the hill.
Wooooow.
When Baek Woo-jin lowered his sword, the runaway black sea began to sink and return to its blue color.
“This is the real Northern Heavenly Sword. And…”
Baek Woo-jin walked slowly and approached Se-in, who was standing like a stone.
“It’s the path you have to take.”
