59. Legend of the Spirited Sword (1)
It felt like I was walking towards the stars.
I was taking strides, but I didn’t feel like I was getting closer to Temar. It seemed that he could not reach Temar as he could not reach the stars.
Bradamante’s blade, which he had painstakingly pulled out, was shaking uncontrollably.
Whoop whoop…
Every time a rough, hot breath went in and out of his throat, it felt like a bunch of blades were going into his mouth. It will be Ben Da Bell. The white head is full of simple will.
To never break your will under any circumstances.
To swing the sword 10,000 times so that the beginning and the end are the same.
What could be more wonderful in the world for a warrior who has just risen to the ranks of the strong? Although the body is suffering, Jin was getting great satisfaction from the last exam.
‘Even though you can’t see it, it’s moving forward.’
I don’t even feel like I’m getting closer, but that certainty beats in my heart.
how much longer would it take
Slowly, the dark closed vision began to return.
The blurry figure of Temar was noticeably closer than before, and he was able to recognize the existence of the new woman, the black dragon Misha, standing next to him.
Who is that?
Even when Jin saw Misha, he didn’t have that thought. To be precise, I couldn’t bear it.
A heart united by the absolute will to slash Temar Runkandel. There is no room for any distractions or thoughts in it.
It doesn’t matter who stands next to Temar. Because that can’t be the reason why Jin can’t cut Temar.
By then Temar smiled once more.
Misha, who was staring at Jinman with clenched fists, did not see that smile.
‘He’s a heart-thumping kid… I didn’t expect him to exceed my expectations this much, Mr. Solderlet.’
The significance of the third test exactly matched Jin’s expectations.
Having the will to ‘cut’ anyone you meet. Even if you face a giant named Temar Runkandel, don’t despair.
However, ‘completely coming to where Temar is standing’ was not included in the test.
This is a space prepared not only for Jin Runkandel, but also for all magic swordsmen in Runkandel who use aura.
Because of Runkandel’s humiliating pact with Ziple, a new successor appeared only now, a thousand years after Temar’s death.
Originally, it was a land that every magician in Runcandel who contracted with Solderlet had to go through at least once.
If it hadn’t been for the oath, at least ten runcandel magic swordsmen would have visited this land over the past thousand years.
Among them, how many magic swordsmen could do like Jin? Even with the body of a boy who is not even twenty.
‘There will be no one except for that human who is the current head of Shiron Runkandel. No, maybe even he couldn’t be like that boy…’
There were only about a hundred steps left between Jin and Temar.
It was clear that a lot of mental energy had been consumed so much that it was difficult to even imagine, but for some reason Jin’s gait became faster as he got closer to Temar.
If Temar’s aura that trampled the Great Desert was fire, then time was a hammer.
That’s how fire and time are forging the iron called Jin. The closer he got to Temar, the sharper Jin was.
was becoming a sword.
Finally.
The sword touched Temar.
Bradamante was no longer trembling. It was just shining blue, bathed in the sunlight of the midnight sun.
The blade was bent.
If you take a step forward and strike down, you should be able to cut Temar.
‘no!’
Suddenly Jin’s pupils widened.
It was because Temar disappeared as soon as he swung his sword back. I came only with the heart to cut him, but the mirage disappeared savagely.
Even at the moment when those who ran to see the oasis in the desert realized that it was actually a mirage.
It wouldn’t be more despairing than Jin now.
“Themar!”
Jin screams while cutting through the air.
There was a deep cry in his cracked voice. Temar, where have you gone, Temar! Calling the name of his ancestor several times, Jin swung his sword like a madman.
But the theme is no more.
Standing tall in this place exuding an energy worthy of being called God Wisdom, he is a person who no longer exists.
“Damn it!”
As if tens of thousands of threads pulled tight were cut at once, the will that made me walk through the camp burst out.
It was a sense of emptiness to fill the place instead. An indescribable sense of loss filled Jin’s heart with emptiness.
Five times to swing the sword meaninglessly.
‘The woman standing next to the female Temar might know something!’
Suddenly recalling Misha’s existence, Jin hurriedly turned his head.
However, Misha was also hiding in the barrier of the Great Desert again. From Jin’s point of view, even she had no choice but to dismiss it as a mirage.
“under…!”
dump!
Soon, Jin sat down on the floor and lowered his head.
I just couldn’t accept it. To cut Temar, he cut his brother, and he cut the teacher he loved so much.
If it wasn’t Brother Tona and Valeria, anyone else would have done the same. It means that no matter who it was, Murakan, Gili, Luna, Yona, Casimir, Enya, or Alisa, it would have been cut and passed the same way.
After passing through days that were nothing short of an abyss, I finally reached him!
‘Such an empty ending.’
Anger soared with despair.
However, I cannot take my anger out on the sandstorm blowing from all directions. I can’t wait for Temar to appear again. Even if I wait, he won’t come back. A stronger intuition than ever before was telling me.
Jin, who immediately regained his composure, looked around quietly.
It took quite a while to regain composure.
‘That’s funny. I came all the way here with the tenacity to slay Temar. When he disappears, it reminds me that there is no more water or food…’
By the time he encountered the second mirage, Valeria, he had already run out of food and water. After fighting her, he regained some energy, but that was all.
It was not the time to sit still and despair over the disappearance of Temar. And now he didn’t even have the confidence to move forward in search of Sam.
It would have been better if I hadn’t met Temar.
-When the third mirage is over, unleash the aura. If you do that, the Myungwang family will appear.
First of all, according to Murakan’s words, we decided to release the aura. Anyway, all three mirages are over and now it seems it’s time to meet the Myungwang family.
Whoa….
From Jin’s body, a dark aura slowly rose.
I didn’t realize it in my absurd mind, but it was a more intense aura than before I left for the Great Desert. After completing the three tests, it was achieved.
Although he sat still for a long time, he released his spirit energy.
The Myeongwang family shows no sign of showing up.
‘The mirage ended all three times…?’
Did Murakan misinform her, or did there really not exist such a thing as a lore site in the Great Desert of Mithra in the first place?
Anxiety like that crossed my mind. It was because no one approached me even if I unleashed the spirit energy as much as I could.
The night is over.
The blue sun was again dyed with pure white brilliance and vomited intense heat, and Jin had no choice but to look at the ivory desert with a devastated face.
“ha ha ha!”
Laughter broke out instead of the nutmeg. I wanted to hold onto someone and ask. What do you think of this absurd situation?
What the hell am I supposed to add here.
Aaaagh!
screamed and stood up. If I didn’t shout like this, I felt like I would faint from the frustration.
“Let’s do it until the end, dogs. okay. uh. Let’s see who finishes first.”
I didn’t even know who I was talking to.
Jin decided to walk again. Even if I can’t reach the aura of lore, I can’t end my life in this damn desert.
As I was about to take that heavy step, I heard this voice.
“pass.”
When I stopped and looked back, there was a beast species that I had never seen before.
He looks almost like a human. Except for the black fur that covered his hands, the fist-sized jewel in the middle of his chest, and the tail attached to his hip, everything was human.
Those who perished after challenging the gods 50,000 years ago.
It is a royal family.
Jin blinked his eyes for a while and looked up at him. The height of the Myeongwang family, which is over 2 meters, has an expressionless face that covers the sunlight.
I didn’t even wonder where these giants came from all of a sudden. Almost three weeks have passed since entering the Great Desert, so it is familiar now.
“It would have been a disqualification if I just sat down and cried out that I had to give up, or shouted to the sky to save me.”
“…what?”
“When the third mirage disappeared, you must have thought the test was over. In fact, by solderlet standards, it’s probably over.”
“So you mean… the test was over earlier? When the third mirage disappeared.”
The Myeongwang family shrugged their shoulders and nodded.
“That’s how it is. But by our standards, that alone isn’t enough. If you are not a warrior who fights until the very end, you do not deserve to be taught. In that sense, you passed.”
Sreung!
Jin opened his eyes and pulled out Bradamante. Then he dug into his arms without having to say anything more.
visor!
The Myeongwang family smiled as they beat off the surprise attack without difficulty.
“Why are you so angry? Solderlet’s contractor. Do you want to stick together?”
However, Jin didn’t continue the second sword attack and took another lead sword. It was a calm face, completely different from the surprise attack with eyes full of murderous intent.
“No, you guys are playing with me. At least once I had to stretch out my sword to clear my mind.”
“okay? Didn’t you get scared because the surprise of conversion didn’t work at all?”
food.
This time, Jin burst into laughter.
“Do I look frightened to your eyes? Keep fighting if you want.”
The Myungwang clan looked down on Jin with interest and remained silent for a while.
Then, he smiled once more.
“I like it very much. He’s very different from the humans in my memory. Most of the people back then were busy urinating when they saw us.”
“I guess you only fought against the weak.”
“Ha ha ha well. could be interpreted that way. Because we were truly invincible back then.”
The Myungwang clan lightly tapped Jin on the shoulder, who did not respond.
“My name is Tantel. What is your name, Child of Solderlet?”
“Jean Runkandel.”
“Good Jean Runcandel. Let me give you one piece of advice. I’m on the merciful side, so I can treat your cheeky words and actions as cute and move on, but you’d better be careful when meeting the brothers from Toshinjeon.”
“The Battle of Gods?”
“As the name suggests, they are brothers enshrined in the Hall of Avatar. it’s insanely strong Anyway, in front of them, if I say it now, it will be a meal. They don’t care about you as much as Solderlet.”
Tantel said, cutting through the air with his sword.
Then, a huge dimensional door opened, revealing the now-disappeared civilization of the Myeongwang clan.
