#1006. Prove it

“Are you talking about Cha Si Hwan Marriage Law?”
[Yes.]
“…Are you saying that you even used the Reverse Heavenly Geum Needle on the Blood Blood Corps?”
[That’s right.]
“You decided to kill the patient?! If you do that, a hundred out of ten people will die, and even if you survive, you will die within a few days!”
[It would be like that for an ordinary person, but he is a sword master.]
“Ah, no matter what…”
How did he wake up Lee Cheon-gi, who was so seriously injured and unconscious that not even Maia could touch him?
Arbella and Barbara were astonished when they heard the method.
Karma’s methods all involve prescribing extreme drugs that guarantee the patient’s lifespan.
It was a slur used only when there was a will that must be left behind, or when an ordinary person would vomit blood and die within a day, or when talking to an enemy.
Even if the Sword Master is an immortal being, there is no way he can get away with such slander.
It wouldn’t have been surprising if he went into suspended animation again and even died.
No matter how urgent the situation was, this would never be a method that any sane doctor would use on a patient.
[And what if there are some problems?]
“…!”
[It is important that the princess is safe at least while he is fighting.]
But Kara did not even raise an eyebrow.
As always, he just spoke while looking at his two daughters with a gentle smile and unwavering green eyes.
[If you are a close associate of the princess, bear all the bad karma.]
Before being the mother of the two.
As Maia’s ancestral confidant.
The two sisters, who looked at her with complicated faces as she gave advice and advice to her successor, soon bowed their heads politely.
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
“I understand.”
[If you knew, that’s fine.]
Looking at the two sisters, Kara smiled.
It wasn’t that the two daughters weren’t precious.
The reason she came back from the underworld, abandoned her pride as a doctor, and prescribed such extreme drugs was to protect her daughters, whom she could not take care of during her lifetime.
Of course, there was another major reason.
[Remember above all else.]
The not-so-distant past.
But as a native of the Age of Heroes.
The woman, who knew the absolute power that ruled that era, ended her sentence with a smile.
[Even if your body is so messed up that it is difficult to even stand, a sword master is a sword master as long as you can swing a sword.]

Rush.
Like a hunting wolf.
Like ants chasing an intruder.
Run, run, run.
Unrivaled martial arts, demonic magical power, the power to transcend god-level divine status, and a strange vision.
The waves of monsters rushing in, using various abilities as if to prove that they all have absolute self-sufficient power, are truly terrifying.
Even the bravest superhuman would be scared and run away.
Jerk.
But at this moment.
The man who became the target of that wave.
Lee Cheon-ki did not retreat even an inch even when facing countless monsters.
I just looked straight at the monsters with my only eye and slowly walked straight ahead.
Sigh!
And with the monster waves.
The moment a man encounters him.
It was the monster that was cut indiscriminately.
No, the word indiscriminate was not appropriate.
Using the martial arts method of destruction, he decapitates a monster, destroys the core of a demon trying to unleash his magic, and pierces the heart of a demigod immediately after the divine power descends.
One by one.
Slow but steady.
So rather quickly.
The sight of the man cutting down monsters one after another was so orderly that it even had the aesthetic of restraint.
Like a worker who, after a lifetime of assembling parts on a container belt, is able to do it with his eyes closed.
[What kind of nonsense…!]
That’s why.
The reason why the monsters had no choice but to be amazed.
If the man had crushed them, killed them, and butchered them with overwhelming force, they would have been angry and struggled even harder to overcome them.
But he never used excessive force.
When they are about to do something.
Never rush and stay calm.
Exquisitely digging into that gap.
With only minimal force.
They just destroyed the technology they were trying to use and cut into vital points through the gap that was revealed.
There were no exceptions.
Martial arts that use the body.
Magic learned through knowledge.
An innate ability.
Because no matter what technique it was, it was captured in an instant, as if I had encountered an opponent who had studied only that method of destruction for his entire life.
Even more so, as we faced more monsters and saw different techniques, the number of cases of blocking the technique before it was even activated increased.
When a good thing is cut off in the middle, you become angry.
What’s worse, while fighting for your life, you’re blocked before you can use any technique properly.
It was crazy for them.
‘You coward!’
‘You’re using sordid magic!’
‘Let’s fight fairly and with skill!’
In that sense.
It was natural that the monsters’ vocal or thinking organs were filled with all kinds of profanity, on the verge of bursting out.
However, even though they screamed and shouted, they could not condemn him.
The more technology gets blocked.
It is an absolute class in name and color.
As an immortal who has lived a long life.
Because they also found out.
No, it was accurate to say that I had no choice but to know.
How high and amazing is the level that Lee Cheon-gi is showing right now.
It was a feat that was difficult for even other sword masters to imitate, as it did not come from innate talent but was built up through hard work.
[Wow! Die, human!]
Boom boom boom!
But that doesn’t mean we can’t just let things happen unilaterally like this.
It seems like he couldn’t hold back his anger.
The giant, whose entire body was covered in thick armor, even threw away his weapon and rushed at Lee Cheon-gi in a straight line.
[At best, I will just crush humans!]
Technology is blocked anyway.
I will compete using only my strength and size.
It was truly ignorant, but it was an extremely effective trick.
Even more so because he is a giant whose huge body is as hard as steel and receives the protection of the constellations, allowing him to engage in close combat with the absolute with his bare body.
But even looking at such a giant.
Lee Cheon-gi was unperturbed.
I just thought about it again.
A sword that cuts through all techniques.
And the reason why he gave the name Talbaek (奪魄) to his new sword technique, Charm Talbaekgeom, which he created based on that.
Thus, Lee Cheon-gi’s sword path, which had been moving calmly until now, changed.
The moment he crossed paths with the giant.
『Decompose the yam and
white sword. Divide
and
think about it and block it.』
Cooung!
[…?]
While.
The giant did not understand.
Why did I collapse?
Actually, I had no choice but to not know.
If the soul is the spirit, then the white is the remnant.
Therefore, even if a spirit that has lost a hundred has memories of its lifetime, it loses its purpose and ends up repeating meaningless actions.
In other words, Baek means a method of using all the knowledge and experience accumulated not only in the body but also in the soul from birth to death.
And people usually call it this.
It’s called technology.
Yes.
Technology is not a great thing.
Breathing techniques to reduce pain when a pregnant woman gives birth, walking comfortably while hiking, and how to hold a spoon.
It is a skill gained in everyday life.
It’s just so easy that it’s not considered a skill.
However, Lee Cheon-gi, who had spent his entire life observing, studying, and stealing other people’s skills, knew this fact well.
How important such small skills are.
How to breathe.
How to swim.
How to run fast.
How to control your mind.
It can be done so naturally that even if you use it without being conscious of it, in the end, since it is a technique, there is a foreshadowing and a flow to it.
Read that omen.
Stop the Mac in the middle.
It destroys all technology.
So this is a yam peeled white sword.
A sword of devastation that originates from the Yam Dragon Slayer Sword, which was made for sword masters, and destroys all techniques.
It was a simple yet ferocious swordsmanship that he was able to perfect because he had been stealing other people’s techniques his whole life.
As a result, the giant was unable to understand the situation at all as he rolled around on the ground with the same momentum as he had just gotten caught in the ankle by a slightly swung sword.
And unfortunately he was not given a second chance.
[Wait a minute, this can’t be happening…!]
Suddenly.
Before I could even get up.
Blow off the giant’s head.
It was when the monsters hesitated with a tired look on their faces as they saw Lee Cheon-gi starting to move again.
Crawl, rumble, rumble!
A loud roar rings out.
The whole sky shook violently.
A moment when dozens and hundreds of monsters suddenly explode out of nowhere.
The starlight emitted from the bodies of those monsters came together and illuminated the sky, which had been colored with dawn since the gates of Valhalla were opened.
Stand tall.
“….”
Lee Cheon-gi stopped walking for the first time as he looked at the starlight that had begun to compress and flicker.
And then I closed my eyes deeply.
Because I knew.
It is the punishment of the stars.
It is anger at losing their followers and retribution for traitors who did not properly fulfill their contracts.
The moment that light was shot.
Himself, of course.
The fact that even Sao Paulo will disappear.
And unfortunately, as Lee Cheon-gi, it was nearly impossible to stop that.
Not only was his physical condition in disarray thanks to the excessive prescription of lethal drugs, but more importantly, his swordsmanship was not yet perfected.
Unlike other sword masters who trained their swords for dozens of years, he didn’t even have time to refine his sword skills.
At least one year.
It would have been a different story if he had been able to calmly establish his swordsmanship for at least a month…
At least right now, there was no technology to block that mass of power created by sacrificing hundreds of absolute self-sufficient monsters.
‘Did it end up like this?’
But maybe it’s a good thing.
Or is it bad luck?
He also had a last resort.
【Overlord】
His final secret technique of overcoming his own limitations by activating numerous skills he had stolen so far at the same time.
It was pathetic to become a sword master and rely on skills, but he was also Limon’s disciple.
I had heard the teaching that it is foolish to choose between means and methods in a situation of need.
The problem was that it would be suicidal to deploy an overload that would put a huge burden on an already serious condition, but…
Lee Cheon-gi did not hesitate.
I just calmly prepared my skills.
…Until I heard a cold voice.
[―It doesn’t matter what nonsense you do, but move aside.]
“…!”
[Because I was in the way.]
It happened in an instant.
Lee Cheon-gi reflexively retreats.
The moment starlight shot towards him.
Suddenly, a translucent seal was caught between Lee Cheon-gi and the starlight.
And….
『The Beginning of the Poem of Heaven and Hell
Poesie von Himmel und Hölle.
Last Counter.
Heaven and Hell
Himmel und Hölle』
Quaaaaaaang!!!!
[…There’s only one. For all their boastfulness, they really are quite a bunch of cowards, even those constellations.]
The starlight that was shooting out has disappeared.
Instead, the sky flashes across the sky.
As one star disappears without a trace.
The heroic spirit, who had blown away an entire constellation to the entire world with just one swing of his fragile, thin saber, slightly turned his head.
And while looking at Lee Cheon-gi with a very displeased look, he suddenly opened his mouth.
[Called Geomgun (劍君).]
“…What do you mean?”
[Your title.]
Is it because I heard something so unexpected?
Seeing Lee Cheon-gi remaining silent, the boy in military uniform continued speaking as if he was annoyed.
[Just in case, don’t mistake me for acknowledging you. When an ordinary person like you thinks about receiving a title from Rin, he gets upset and gives it to her.]
“….”
[So, prove it.]
“You mean proof?”
[That even a lowly commoner like you can become a perfect human being.]
It sounds like it’s really unpleasant.
But with burning eyes.
The boy spoke sharply as he looked at the enemy who killed him.
[Don’t say you can’t do it. Then I’ll kill you first.]
I won’t tolerate rejection.
Prove it whether it takes a thousand years or 10,000 years.
Lee Cheon-gi, who was looking at the boy who was threateningly threatening him with his only eyes, eventually nodded quietly.
“That’s what I was going to do anyway, the death penalty.”
Was it because of that unexpectedly gentle acceptance?
Or was it because of the title the man called him?
The boy, who was glaring at Lee Cheon-gi with his eyebrows raised, eventually turned around again with a snort.
[…Hmph, he seems like a cocky priest.]
Just like that…
It seems like he doesn’t like it until the end.
All that was left was a disapproving grumble.
It disappeared as if melting into the light of dawn.
Although he may not have been sane, he died protecting Europe throughout his life and truly respected his teacher.
Above all, Lee Cheon-gi quietly bowed his back as he looked at the empty seat of the young soldier (Soldat) who had a greater influence than anyone else on his realization of the sword.
