Episode 386 As for the sword technique suitable for magic,
I noticed many things in the situation where the eldest brother and the king of the tower face off. Above all, there were many food guests accompanied by the king.
In fact, sikgaek is a fairly old word.
For example, swordsman and assassin were originally derived from sikgaek.
However, these words seem to change not only in status and mood but also in meaning depending on the time period.
Right now, I feel like there is a swordsman or a swordsman at the lower level of the assassin.
After seeing my eldest brother start swinging the Light Sword…
I quickly changed my mind again.
It felt like a swordsman was the pinnacle of guests.
That’s because I’m also a swordsman.
In reality, the eldest brother ranks swordsman higher than his nickname, swordsman. Otherwise, you would have already been in trouble by now.
It seems like the sect leader always wants his eldest brother to become a sword demon who sucks out people’s vengeful souls, but if I tell you my inner thoughts, I feel the same way. Because it is better than having the eldest brother die. However, I had no intention of forcing anything like the religious leader. That’s because no matter how you fight, you are responsible for the outcome.
But surprisingly, the Top King was stronger than I expected.
So that means that Jeonma, who was killed by the Top King, was not an ordinary expert, right?
As I watched that fierce fight, a bad thought crept into my mind.
‘Eldest brother, can you fight like that and defeat Samjae?’
The sect leader was constantly tempting my eldest brother to become a sword demon, and I also looked at my eldest brother with similar feelings.
In any case, even if you become a devil, you have to survive.
Just like a religious leader during the time of a struggle for succession.
Life is worth it.
But isn’t it more important what life is like afterward? It’s the difference between someone who can regret and someone who doesn’t.
I finally resolved a question I had been having for a long time.
I feel like I have clearly figured out what the difference is between the cult leader and us.
The religious leader is close to a non-human in that he has no regrets.
We hope for a path to perfection while feeling regret. Of course, if I continue to do this and get punished by the religious leader, I will regret it sorely.
But this is life.
Every human being I saw had their own regrets in their hearts.
…The Sword Demon was thinking about the Battle Demon all the while throwing away the Tower King’s deformed sword. The Sword Demon knows the War Demon. Although he was three or four years younger than himself, he was a suitable man for the position of Usa.
How was your relationship?
There was no relationship whatsoever.
When an order was given, the man who carried out the order was Jeonma.
As always, he acknowledged Jeonma as a man, but he never said anything kind to him.
We have never even shared a drink.
We’ve never even had a chat.
All I have to do is know the face, the martial arts characteristics, and roughly understand the personality. Like most subordinates, the only thing they had in common was that they hated defeat. He was a man who actually had no reason to be sad even if Jeon Ma died, and Jeon Ma would not particularly be sad even if he died somewhere.
But why do I feel so uncomfortable?
Why is my heart boiling like this?
The Sword Demon could not look at his condition calmly even while swinging the Light Sword.
If he had acted a little more like the Great Master, he would have taken out more people from the church. After thinking about empty thoughts that had no possibility of realization, I decided to be a little more honest.
So what made me angry was…
I was disgusted that I couldn’t even have a drink with Jeonma, whom I had known for a long time. It was also disgusting that both the religious leader and himself were not very interested in his subordinates. In general, he was Gwangmyeongjwasa, no different from the head of a religious sect.
Jeonma was a man who could not say a word of flattery…
but he was still a man who could laugh sometimes.
On the other hand, he himself would always look at his subordinates with a blunt expression. There is no reason for an apostate to take revenge on a believer.
This was simply revenge for his brother, who was a few years younger than him… and
who had been called by his number without a name.
What if you are a religious believer and what if you are an apostate?
While deflecting the tower king’s misshapen sword that was charging at him, the sword demon lost his balance and while protecting the tower king’s follow-up blow, the sword demon, whose body was floating in the air, was pushed away in a straight line.
While the Sword Demon was balancing in the air, the third voice caught his ears.
“…Eldest brother, are you out of your mind? Why do you have so many random thoughts while fighting? Are you out of your mind? Are you making me lose my senses any more? I’ll come to my senses, I won’t. Shall I make dinner tonight? “You have to taste my noodles to come to your senses.”
Whenever Geomma’s third child nagged him, he would often feel his ears bleeding, and now it was like that.
“That bastard’s nagging…”
Tower King said as he approached with a relaxed expression.
“It’s just as the old story goes.”
The Sword Demon answered.
“what?”
“The rumor is that they are wary of the devil. Do you now want to come and fight like a leader? “This is much weaker than the rumor, so I’m losing interest… If I fight like this, isn’t it no different from fighting a war horse?”
The Sword Demon took a deep breath and then answered.
“If it is stronger without using magic attacks, there is no reason to use magic attacks.”
“Are you saying that now?”
The Sword Demon shook his head.
“I’m still training, so please understand if I see something lacking. Tower King. Considering his skills, he is worthy of the title of king, but I don’t understand why he is relying on the Wei family. “If you grew up eating in a family from a young age, you understand.”
The king of the tower seemed to be in a bad mood and rushed forward again.
The Sword Demon began to fight alone with his thoughts gone. Entering the middle of the battle means reducing the importance of defense.
It was very difficult for the Sword Demon to change his mindset from the sword techniques he had learned.
So, Dokgojunggeom is all about attack.
It wasn’t easy to adapt because I had to abandon the herbivorous diet I had previously learned. I realized that it was a sword technique with some kind of rhyme, but it was not easy to raise the level because I had to risk my life for the rhyme.
In order to give up defense….
I countered the Tower King’s attack with an attack of almost the same trajectory. At the same time, when the two were pushed away and faced each other again, the Sword Demon found the optimal route and quickly thrust the Light Sword into the Top King’s neck.
The moment the King of the Tower inevitably struck down the Sword of Light with his deformed sword…
From that moment, the dog-go-double-sword battle began.
The sword demon who caught the player threw out his sword with only the intention of attacking, like someone who had forgotten how to defend. He stabbed the neck, stabbed the side, aimed at the feet of the retreating tower king, threw a sword blast, and then chased after him. I increased the speed, increased the afterimage of the sword, and stabbed the tower king in the air as if sweeping his head, neck, and chest, and found the rhythm of the attack.
This rhyme was a subtle one…
It was a rhyme that changed depending on the Tower King’s response.
So, all of the top king’s breathing movements, counterattack habits, internal and external movements were all contained in the sword demon’s rhyme. This was a sword technique that could not be learned through calculation alone.
Above all, you need to be familiar with it.
As you become familiar with it, your mind must read the Tower King’s actions in advance.
Even if you are familiar with all of this, you should also know that if you make one mistake, you can fall into the abyss.
So, the sword of life and death that could never be unleashed unless one risked one’s life first was the sword of one’s own hardships.
Suddenly, the moment when the Sword Demon felt that he had risked his life…
he realized that Dokgojunggeom was a more dangerous martial art than the Demonic Attack.
This is because magic has a greater tendency to protect the body. So, which sword technique is more suitable for magic?
There would be no sword technique in the world that was more suited to the magic than Dokgojunggeom, in the sense that one’s life was risked moment by moment on the outcome and split-second choices.
It was a fact that I learned only after a man of the swordsman’s level risked his life.
The Sword Demon unleashed a never-ending attack on the Tower King.
For the first time in a long time, I was satisfied with myself.
With a swordsmanship of this level, it would be enough to be called a magician.
He said he wouldn’t have to be ashamed of the people he killed. I felt that I would not be ashamed of my subordinates who died in vain.
Strangely enough, when Dokgojunggeom put more emphasis on the rhyme with confidence, its power also increased.
It’s like swinging a knife on a blade.
Sword Demon danced like a madman and set up an additional psychological trap on Dokgojunggeom.
The rhythm was slightly twisted only at certain moments and the dance was performed as if there was only one gap.
So, the gap in the rhyme was the left arm, which had already been imbued with demonic energy and had become invulnerable to the sword.
The process of revealing loopholes has already been tested on the Gungeom King.
So, even in the midst of the fight, the Sword Demon realized once again how terrifying Baekdo’s fighting spirit was. Since it was a process I had used against the King of Gungeom, I was able to apply it very naturally to the Dokgojunggeom that I am currently using.
So, killing the Top King…
meant killing him along with the King of Gungeom, who had been his opponent.
The Sword Demon performed his sword dance perfectly, but only faintly exposed his weak point in his left arm. Easier said than done. This was a small niche created through a lifetime of training. In the meantime, the dokgojunggeom mixed with the rhyme still continued to push the top king. Geomma realized that he would have had a harder time if he had joined the Top King before going to Manjae.
The Sword Demon smiled slightly as he saw the Tower King sweating profusely but maintaining his fighting spirit without being at all discouraged.
I just laughed, but why do I remember the third person’s expression?
Now that I think about it, it’s because it’s the first time I’ve ever laughed during a fight.
The Sword Demon, who had been attacking the Tower King as if he were completely toying with him, opened his mouth like a man caught off guard.
“Look. “Top King Jeonma and…”
Before he could finish speaking, the tower king’s deformed sword that rushed in fell vertically and struck the sword demon’s upper shoulder.
Sigh!
Rather, the sword demon’s bright sword, which had advanced one step further, pierced the arm of the tower king holding the deformed sword. The Sword Demon grabbed the Light Sword with both hands without even allowing a moment to hit his shoulder, splitting the Top King’s arm in two and simultaneously cutting his neck in an instant.
Phew!
The King of the Tower’s right arm was torn, and while he was trying to counterattack with his left arm, he moved according to human instinct and grabbed his own neck. Blood was pouring out of his arms and neck.
The Sword Demon wiped the blood off the Light Sword and then looked at the King of the Tower who had been hit on the butt.
“….”
The Sword Demon had never before put so many tricks into his sword and movements while fighting.
But why did I feel so relieved when I looked at the King of Tower’s expression?
Sword Demon said.
“There is no reason for an apostate to take revenge on a religious leader. This is clearly revenge for his younger brother Jeonma. “Top King.”
Diners rushed in as a group, screaming. However, before they could arrive, the Sword Demon swung his sword once again and cut off the Top King’s head.
While blood was gushing out of the top king’s body…
All kinds of memorization, sword wind, and sword techniques were poured towards the sword demon, and the members of the Myeongcheonwi family began to engage in joint attacks, ignoring the law of the strongman.
The Sword Demon swung his sword and instantly threw away all the colorful memorization and surprise attacks, then lowered his sword to the lower right again.
Gourmets from families that barely belong to the outer party?
It was not a sword demon that could give meaning to the deaths of these people.
The Sword Demon smiled and greeted the approaching guests with a different expression than usual.
“come.”
At that moment, those who were running from the front froze in pure white, and a third fell from the air. The third person, who instantly froze some of the guests with an ice ball, turned his head and looked at the Sword Demon.
There was nothing in particular to say to each other.
The third one grinned and said as he pulled out a sword.
“I knew it would be like this. I thought it would be a mess. “It’s always like that.”
Geomma wanted to reply to the third child’s flattering words, but he was at a loss right now and couldn’t think of anything to say in response. Instead, he went to the third’s side, tapped his shoulder once, and then walked towards where the enemy was.
“let’s go.”
…From a little distance away, the Golden Tiger and Silver Dragon sighs simultaneously.
“….”
Three more sighs followed. The old master of Zuo and Hao Wen-ju were already swinging their swords against the more numerous Zhongtianyu family’s eaters.
The Great Lord of the Golden Tiger and the Great Lord of the Silver Dragon checked each other’s expressions.
Of course, the Jungcheonwi family should win, but they confirmed through each other’s facial expressions that their intentions were not that way. This was the reason why I kept sighing.
The Great Lord of Geumho barely opened his mouth.
“What are you going to do? “Is the injury serious?”
The Silver Dragon Grandmaster cleared his throat and then spoke.
“I think I need to avoid it because the internal injuries are deep. Would you like to move together?”
The Great Lord of Geumho nodded.
“Let’s catch up with the subordinates first.”
The two chose to run away. Nearby, Yunnan Sevens was looking at him with a bewildered expression, but he thought it was just a temporary humiliation and chose to run away. While we were moving in a hurry, the somewhat honest Geumho Daeju added one more word.
“I feel relieved now that the King of Towers is dead.”
The Great Lord of the Silver Dragon answered.
“Isn’t that a somewhat controversial statement?”
“It’s a matter of life and death, so what kind of controversy is this? “It was a fair fight.”
In the midst of his light attack, Daeju Geumho even justified his own flight.
“…I don’t want to fight with the old leftist. “I’m not avoiding it because I’m scared.”
“Me too.”
I don’t know how they were fighting, but a loud noise erupted from where Old Zuo Temple and Hao Wen Zhou were. I guessed that there were a lot of screams, and it didn’t seem like the Old Zu Temple side was being attacked.
