Episode 220. Blood sword (血劍), white sand (白蛇) (2)
Jinhyeok grabbed the wounds on his arms and legs.
thump!
Red blood flowed from the spot where it was struck by the sharp blade.
However, what is more important than the immediate pain is to figure out what caused it.
“That weapon…”
Jinhyeok’s eyes drooped.
The sword in Baeksa’s hand took on a completely different shape from the first one.
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The saw-bladed sword had already stretched over 7m.
Sword (軟劍).
This is the moment when the true appearance of the sword, which was simply strange, is revealed.
Although it is an extremely difficult weapon to predict the trajectory of the sword because you do not know where it will bounce.
If you know how to handle it properly, that soft sword is more difficult to deal with than any other weapon.
furthermore.
‘To absorb the mana mixed with blood.’
It is very unusual that the blood-soaked blade turns white.
It feels like seeing a white snake.
“It’s surprising. Did you even react to that? You are the first among the 10 sects of the Heavenly Demon God to have received the first blow to this extent.”
“He uses something very delicate that doesn’t match his appearance. Mister.”
Although it was an enemy with ignorant internal skills and practical experience.
When he grabbed that sword, his momentum completely changed.
As if the tiger had wings attached to its back, a red flag began to rise from the body of the white snake.
come.
At the same time as Jinhyeok spurred on.
Zwililrit!
The sword came sweeping the ground.
The sword strangely changed its trajectory as it hit the dirt and gravel.
You shouldn’t try to predict that.
I had to respond with the experience I had accumulated so far to survive.
Kakacak!
Kaaaang!
Jinhyuk waved his fangs madly in the air.
Even with his body strengthened through ‘The Sword Demon Emperor’, he could not shake off the soft sword.
“Damn it! Didn’t you say you would capture him alive?”
This shows the will to play completely properly.
I know you’re excited about using a soft sword, but it’s only a matter of time before you catch someone like this.
“Don’t just run away, fight properly. How can a guy who knows how to use black steel be so mean!”
White sand roared wildly and scattered soft swords in all directions.
…This is unusual.
[Baeksa casts Lv19 ‘Blood Death Explosion’!]
Hundreds of strong winds engulfed the area in an instant.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The trees around them collapsed like toothpicks.
Whatever was in the way, whether it was a rock or something, was cut in half.
It is fast, and its attack power is so powerful that it is ignorant.
“Kuk!”
Jinhyeok, who had bounced off several times, calmed down.
The wounds were healed by the ‘Blessing of the Stars’, but the speed was too slow.
It must have been coated with something that made the wound worse.
But before he had time to catch his breath, another attack followed.
puck!
Fuck! Fu-wook!
left right. left again.
There was a hole in the area where I had just been stepping on.
Yeongum wriggled and seemed to be aiming for the top of his foot, then turned around and aimed for his leg.
It’s literally a piece of paper.
He narrowly avoided it, but this time, Jinhyeok’s body had one more wound.
“Whoa ….”
As the amount of lost blood increased, his stamina dropped rapidly.
The problem is that because of the difference in the absolute amount of mana, the opponent does not show any sign of exhaustion yet.
‘If I continue to defend myself, I will eventually be defeated.’
Time is on your side.
If you were looking for a chance to counterattack, it would only be stabbing at the moment when the relentless slashing sword stopped.
Jinhyeok gazed intently at the direction the blade was moving, even amidst the bursting flames.
It comes again.
I slightly changed the position of holding the sword.
And the moment you deliberately exposed loopholes.
Wow!
The soft sword that flew in a semicircle struck the side.
heavy.
But somehow I persevered.
‘now!’
Now is the only time Yeongeom shows a gap before the next attack.
[Lv11 ‘Glacier Formation’ is activated!]
[Inherent ability ‘Breath of the Fire Dragon’ is activated!]
Two skills were used at the same time.
Roaring!
Parts…
The meeting of ice and fire.
The opposite skill exploded in the same place.
“A catch technique like this…!”
Baeksa used a self-defense technique to shake off the clinging ice fragments and flames at once.
It was so deep that it was impossible to inflict even a single wound on its body with an attack of this magnitude.
but.
“It was enough to draw attention.”
This game isn’t like that.
Jinhyeok, who put the twin dragon swords into the scabbard wrapped around his waist, gathered his mana to the limit.
To save the one-time opportunity.
To seize victory even in adverse conditions.
willingly gave up
And now it’s time to take your opponent’s bones.
Kuuk…
Delicate fingers caressed the tip of the hilt.
[Lv2 ‘Balken Sword’ is activated!]
It was then that the condensed magic was released.
‘Baekwol night (白月夜)’
The white old moon formed its shape through the blade.
At the same time, a single flash of light crossed the space.
[Inherent ability ‘High Speed Sword’ is activated!]
As the ability of the knight praised as the strongest in the empire was added, the accelerating sword completely disappeared from sight within seconds.
A swordsman that transcends cognition.
A whirlwind first announced its beginning.
like that.
Everything…
was stained white.
***
‘…I was attacked.’
Not that I was careless. It’s not like you’ve got things in your hands.
It was just that the opponent dug into the only weakness of the soft sword.
That little mistake led to the current result.
Baeksa bit down his molars while facing an attack he could not counter.
Sooner or later you will pay the price for that mistake.
If you’re lucky, your arm will be cut off.
If you’re unlucky, you’ll lose your life.
however.
Wow!
The night of the white moon, realized with the foot sword and high-speed sword, was shattered in the air.
Someone intervened between Jinhyeok and Baeksa.
An earthquake occurred in Baeksa’s pupil.
It was the same for Jinhyeok who opened his eyes.
this feeling. this sense.
No way…
that’s for sure.
“Dark Emperor…”
“Supreme!”
both shouted at the same time.
“If I was a little late, I would have been in big trouble. I thought it was a kitten, but it turned out to be a tiger kitten.”
The person who appeared in front of me was a person who should never be here.
The burly old man looked at Jinhyeok and his slightly scorched palm, then clicked his tongue.
“That’s embarrassing. I stopped being vigilant…” ”
It’s my fault for not being able to properly identify the opponent and ordering their capture. If I had told them to kill me, I wouldn’t have been so hurt, but now everything is meaningless. It will be a home.”
He waved his hand as if the darkness was not a big deal.
Then, as if feeling something, I looked beyond the forest.
“Did you send the sub-owner and the Shade Corps over there?”
“Yes. I ordered to deal with Lee’s colleagues.”
“Hmm… You’ve got another monster. It’s not perfect, but it won’t be easy for me to deal with once the restrictions are lifted.”
Dark Emperor looked at the other side of the forest and murmured softly.
The faint quiver in the air gave me an idea of what the situation was like there.
There must have been no one standing on their own feet.
“So you’re the one who made the contract. Even while constantly supplying mana, you’re on par with Baeksa and even stabbing you in the face…” “I
almost succeeded. If the Dark Emperor hadn’t intervened.”
“I won’t deny it. If I hadn’t come, this fight would have been your victory.”
“In that sense, can’t we just pretend we won?”
“What?”
“Why? Isn’t there such a thing as a strong man’s duty? It’s also not good for adults to get involved in juniors’ fights.”
“Puhahaha! This is such a wild child.”
Dark Hwang burst into laughter at Jinhyeok’s smirk.
It was a genuinely happy laugh, not an angry one.
“I was wondering why this kid kept caring about me, but seeing it myself, I understand it to some extent. If you’re a talented person with skills and wit that’s just as good, you’re bound to be attracted to anyone. Isn’t that right, Wolyeong?”
Dark Emperor smiled softly.
OK.
A familiar shadow swayed beside him.
It was Wolyeong.
“…”
Wolyeong stared at Jinhyeok with complex feelings in her eyes.
shit. It’s not like seeing a broken-hearted lover again.
Faced with a face stained with betrayal and disappointment, to be honest, my conscience is slightly stabbed.
“how have you been doing?”
“My lord… No. It’s none of your business.”
I’m pissed.
this is definitely screwed up
“Chuck! Guys talk very differently. It’s lingering feelings, let it go later. I’ll have to say something first.”
“If you’re talking about… you’re talking about me?”
“Yes. Actually, I like you.
The Cheonma Shinkyo prioritizes skills above all else.
The brilliance of the family.
personal past.
I accepted everything regardless.
Baeksa was the most embarrassed by the unexpected proposal.
“Supreme! What do you mean by that? No matter how you accept foreigners from outside the tower…!”
“Baeksa. Aren’t I talking right now?”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”
As Baeksa flinched and rolled up his tail, Dark Emperor asked Jinhyeok again.
“How about it? If you come to us, you can only aim for the upper floors of the tower, not the middle floors. It is also predestined that wealth and honor are guaranteed.”
More than anything…
“For you, a combat fanatic, you will be given the opportunity to engage in sparring that you will tire of.”
“You’re talking as if I’m just impatient for a fight.”
“is not it? When I see you
, you look like a martial artist from the core, right? ”
Dark Emperor
shrugged
. The fact that even
the
suggestions are all just reciting the lines written in the screenplay
.
The corners of Jinhyeok’s mouth went up.
I didn’t expect to meet Dark Hwang here, but I expected at least that this kind of offer would come if I met that old man. It must be the
instinct of a warrior to be attracted to the strong
. Even in the Tower of Trials, Dark Emperor had suggested something like this:
‘It’s unfortunate that we can’t see all the skills due to the difference in timing.’
Still, through the ‘eyes of gluttony’, information about Dark Hwang was roughly grasped.

[Copy Conditions: You have volunteered to be Dark Emperor’s disciple. If you make it real, you can make the complete 12 meals of Dark Heaven Demon King your own. (However, the minimum training period must be 1 month.)]
Original It would take dozens of years to perfectly learn Amhwang’s Dokmun martial arts,
but if he followed the copying conditions, the period could be shortened to one month.
The problem is how to make use of this opportunity…
Jinhyuk pondered for a while He slowly opened his mouth,
“If the Dark Emperor listens to my suggestions, I’ll consider it.”
From copying abilities to whether to use the Dark Emperor card in this war,
a discussion that could decide everything began.
