Episode 563
Rimmer created a cool wind that seemed to have come from the North Sea. He advanced roughly like a blade of grass swept away by a storm and stabbed a red thunderbolt into the heart of the Yonghyeongeomju.
Hwaaaaa!
The Yonghyeon Sword Master strengthened his grip holding the demon sword Creatus and made the magic bend.
Hahaha!
The red brain energy and black magic energy clashed, and a strong shock wave hit the son-in-law.
Coo coo coo coo!
The sword demons of the Gwangpungdae and Holy Swordsman around Limer and Yonghyeon Sword Master flew backwards and rolled on the floor regardless of their will.
“…Kang Hwan?”
The Yonghyeon Swordmaster frowned as he looked at the red air that formed on Rimmer’s sword.
“In the meantime, you reached Ganghwan?”
“Why are you so surprised? Kang Hwan, like I’m seeing him for the first time.”
Rimer looked at the furrowed eyebrows of the Yonghyeongeomju and raised his eyebrows.
“You definitely recovered quickly. “But it’s meaningless.”
Yonghyeon Swordmaster briefly nodded and bent the wrist holding the magic sword to the right.
The Magi’s blade curved like a whip and struck Rimmer’s back. It was a strange move to block the front and aim for the back.
“It’s me who decides that, not you!”
Rather, Rimmer entered the space of the Dragon Sword Master and blew up a blue wind. The strong ring formed in the sword spread along the wind flow and formed a shield that blocked his back.
Kyaaaaaaa!
The magic blade fell sharply, but it was unable to pierce the thick layer of aura and faded away in vain.
“Tsk.”
The Yonghyeon Swordmaster briefly clicked his tongue as if he had not expected the sudden attack to be blocked so easily.
“I know very well that you are as mean as you look.”
Rimmer swung his sword lightly and laughed.
‘okay. ‘I know it better than anyone else.’
Yonghyeongeomju has the innocent appearance of being a priest, but in reality, he is a charlatan with thousands of snakes in his heart. We must not let our guard down not only in swordsmanship but also in psychological warfare.
‘I can’t let my guard down because of that damn demon.’
The sword strike of the Yonghyeongeomju was scary, but the magical energy generated by the demonic sword Creatus itself was a great threat.
‘If you’re not at master level, it’ll be hard to approach.’
The demon sword was dominating the space, scattering demonic energy at random, regardless of whether it was an enemy or an ally.
Because I was not confident in completely blocking the demonic energy while fighting, my movements were limited.
But you can’t run away or retreat from here. Aside from revenge, I had to quickly cut down Yonghyeongeomju for the sake of Raon and Gwangpungdae behind me.
Ugh!
Rimmer walked towards the Yonghyeon Sword Master with rough steps. The sight of him rushing around, clad in wind and thunderbolts, was like seeing a divine dragon roaming the sky.
“Don’t be impatient. “The fight begins now.”
Yonghyeon Sword Master twisted his mouth and created a strong ring with the flame of his magic sword. The blackened earth was turned upside down by the waves of the river that expanded in concentric circles, and the air screamed.
“no. “This is the end!”
Rimmer did not stop his steps even after seeing the overwhelmingly strong Dragon Sword Master’s power. He struck faster and unleashed a magnificent sword strike.
“You idiot!”
The Yonghyeon Swordmaster also did not back down and thrust his sword towards Rimmer’s neck.
Wow!
The thunder’s ring and the magic ring collided, and a burst of gray air enveloped the Rakion family.
* * *
Raon frowned as he looked at the ripples caused by Rimmer and the Yonghyeon Sword Master.
‘Do you think you can hold on?’
Rimmer had no resistance to demonic energy and was having a hard time being rational due to his anger towards the Dragon Sword Master.
Even though his strength was approaching its original level, I was not confident that he would win.
Cheeeeee!
As I frowned at the chaotic situation, Cloud rushed to the left and swung his sword. A sword strike that achieves rapid and drastic changes. His ten thousand swords were more advanced than before.
Raon bit his lip as he watched the path of the sword strike towards his chest.
‘You must not collide.’
Cloud’s sword has a vivid ring of steel. It was clear that if he collided with that sword in his current state, he would suffer internal injuries that would be difficult to recover from.
Teuong!
I turned my ankle diagonally and stepped on the Taehwa Sambo. Like a coral moving with the ocean current, instead of pushing back Cloud’s sword strike, it used its power to retreat. I felt the tip of his sword grazing the end of the black dragon robe.
“Where are you looking! “Your opponent is me!”
Cloud grits his teeth and pursues. A fast yet colorful walking method. It seemed like the intention was to push them in without giving them a chance to counterattack.
“You’re not wrong.”
Raon raised his sword and frowned.
‘That guy is right.’
This is not the time to worry about other people.
He suffered serious injuries while consuming most of his stamina and aura.
Even if Cloud’s physical condition was normal, it wasn’t enough to concentrate on it because he had to risk his life.
Cheeeeee!
Cloud’s sword extends like a flash. One sword split into dozens like sunlight reflecting on a lake and aimed at vital parts of the body.
‘After the circle sword and the straight sword, is there an absolute sword?’
Since Cloud was familiar with the 10,000 swords, each ordinary sword move had a power similar to that of other martial artists. Blocking it was difficult, but avoiding it was even more difficult.
Raon stopped breathing and stepped into the waves of sword light. As the seven rings of fire resonated simultaneously, time flowed slowly as if it had stopped.
My appearance is reflected in the sword light aimed between my eyes. Concentration has reached its limit. It was as if he could even feel the enemy’s breathing.
Cheeeeee!
A sword strike intended to pierce the head was avoided by tilting the neck to the left, and a slash aimed at the waist was avoided by wrapping a thin aura around the Jecheon sword.
Every time Cloud’s sword strike passed by, a chill ran down my spine. Concentration also has limits. It wasn’t something I could do for a long time.
“You can’t use that famous sword realm manifestation, so you’re just a scarecrow!”
Cloud pushed in with all his might, spilling arsenic. Instead of using complicated swordsmanship, he attacked ignorantly with a sword strike based solely on martial arts techniques.
‘That’s wise.’
He did not forget the experience of having his sword skills completely destroyed in a previous confrontation, and simplified his sword skills as much as possible to focus on strength. It was a difficult method to deal with.
‘Should I ask Lars for help?’
If you make a deal with Ras, you will be able to restore your health and aura.
However, as I have become stronger, I will have to receive a much different amount of anger than before.
I still can’t control my anger these days, and I don’t know what will happen if I take it any further than this.
‘Because the enemy still remains there.’
Since he could fight the Dragon Sword Master, now was not the time to hope for Ra’s’ help, but he had to overcome it on his own.
Lars was watching in silence, as if he believed he would take care of it.
“Let’s see how long you can avoid it!”
Cloud still swung his sword with only simple techniques. However, because it was simple, fast, and accurate, it was not easy to avoid each one.
‘Even if you reduce the techniques, swordsmanship is still swordsmanship.’
There will definitely be a gap to dig into.
As a high-ranking swordsman, Cloud possessed high-level techniques in his cleanly stabbing sword strikes. I had to figure out the flow.
Gooooooo!
Raon used not only the Ring of Fire but also the Demon Eyes of Anger and the Sense of Tale to examine the flow of the Aura itself created by Cloud.
‘I knew it.’
Cloud was not performing his swordsmanship solely with strength. He was using a sword technique that simplified the sword to the extreme and made it look ordinary.
‘Did you learn it from the Holy Sword Trainer?’
No, it feels a little different.
Although it was the same sword, it seemed completely different from the swordsmanship Cloud had used previously. However, his flow felt oddly familiar.
Whoa!
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Cloud’s fierce sword strike.
‘Right waist.’
Kang Hwan was approaching the left shoulder, but what he was actually targeting was the right waist.
Cloud rotated his sword, aiming for the right side of the waist, just as he had pictured in his mind. Since the prediction was correct, there was room for movement.
Cheeeeee!
After Raon shed Cloud’s sword, he dug into the gap and brought down the requiem sword.
The magical sword strike cut through Cloud’s aura and created a wound on his thigh.
“This guy!”
Cloud poured out a barrage of sword strikes with his eyes wide open, as if he had not even thought that he would be hurt.
“Huh…”
He let out a thick breath and stepped back. Of course, his gaze was still focused on Cloud’s sword and aura.
‘Is it the center this time?’
Cloud erased the changes and was targeting the solar plexus with strength and speed.
‘no. There’s something more.’
The ring of fire rotated until it screamed, and the movements of the sword play were observed until the end.
The sword strike, which was extending honestly, suddenly bends to the left. The guy was planning to cut his heart out in one fell swoop.
Raon leaned back in the same position he was standing in. He bent his posture so that his back was parallel to the ground and used the recoil to raise his sword.
Piaaaagh!
This time, the blade of the Jecheon Sword split Cloud’s chest. Red blood leaked from the guy’s chest.
‘It’s shallow.’
I couldn’t do my usual movements because the magic energy that was digging into my waist was interfering. I clicked my tongue in regret.
“Ugh….”
Cloud gritted his teeth, wiping away the blood that was flowing out with his hands.
“It’s his swordsmanship, but how could you!”
His eyes trembled as if he did not understand that the simplified sword attack had been destroyed.
‘Him?’
Raon repeated the word Cloud had spoken.
‘Isn’t it a relay?’
Seeing that it was him and not a teacher or a trainee, it felt like I was learning from someone else.
‘Who is that…’
“Damn talent!”
Cloud exploded with the anger he had been holding in and rushed forward.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The earth collapsed and the air distorted as the Kang-hwan stretched out to the son-in-law.
‘shoulder!’
As soon as I dodged the sword strike that threatened to rip off my shoulder, Kang Hwan rushed in from the left.
‘I can’t avoid this.’
Raon twisted his body and lowered his sword in a curved line like a crescent moon.
I tried to dodge and shed at the same time, but Cloud’s blade roughly tore off the flesh of my thigh.
‘shit!’
I endured the pain that made me want to collapse and stabbed the requiem sword in reverse.
Whoa!
The shiny blade cut through Cloud’s auror and split the guy’s shoulder.
“die!”
Cloud also rushed forward, ignoring the pain in his shoulder.
The movement of his legs shook, and the burning blade of Kang Hwan grazed the end of his neck. Red blood drops flew into the air.
“Huh…”
Raon didn’t panic even though death was just around the corner.
‘Not yet.’
Cloud’s swordsmanship became rough to the point of ignorance, but the flow did not change much. Even now, the blueprint to defeat him was slowly being completed.
Forgetting the pain in my back and thighs, I focused all my senses on Cloud’s sword.
‘Left shoulder, right waist, right ankle and neck!’
The flow of Cloud’s swordsmanship began to be read more and more clearly. Its swordsmanship has become faster, but dodging has become easier.
Raon stopped evading by moving his entire body and only stepped back briefly to the area Cloud was targeting, conserving his stamina and aura.
“What the hell!”
Cloud took a step back and his lips trembled.
“How on earth do you avoid it!”
He screamed as if he didn’t understand the situation itself.
“You haven’t been able to take a single step forward since that day.”
Raon curled up his mouth as he felt the end was approaching.
“If I were normal, it would have ended in one blow.”
“shut up!”
As if Cloud had lost his mind, he exploded all his auras and struck with his sword.
Young Kang-hwan trembled violently with his sword, creating a storm of aura that enveloped his son-in-law. It was an ignorant, but effective attack that erased the very space to avoid.
Wow!
Raon did not back down even as he saw Kang-hwan approaching, turning over the ground.
‘The opportunity has finally come.’
Looking at it from the side, it would have been an inevitable death situation, but this was the only opportunity I was waiting for.
‘Because his energy has been dispersed.’
Kang-hwan is a rising art that increases destructive power by condensing the sword-kang.
The range was increased, but the density was weakened, so it was clear that Ganghwan’s power would not be that strong now.
Raon endured the time of patience he had endured and moved forward to pick the fruit.
He raised the remaining aurors to the top level and opened the sword realm once again.
The momentary manifestation of the sword realm, the harmony of the divine demons.
The Heavenly Sword and the Requiem Sword evaporated, and the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword soared into his grasp. The two swords took a step forward before drawing a perfect shape.
‘I can’t complete the sword right now.’
It is no exaggeration to say that it is impossible to use the Sword World Manifestation properly again in the worst condition.
In fact, the sun and moon were not rising above my head right now, nor were they burning with two black flames and frost.
A divine sword and a demonic sword that could not even be completed properly. But it didn’t matter. Because the sharpness of the blade was still the same.
Golden light burns in Raon’s hands. The level of his soul pushed back Cloud’s energy waves and created a boundary of the void where swords could clash.
“Is this the Sword Realm? No, this is….”
The two swords crossed towards Cloud, whose eyes were wide in confusion, revealing a faint blade. The nobility of the divine sword and the horror of the magic sword were combined in one sword technique.
“I won’t lose twice!”
Cloud urgently brought Kang Hwan back together and flew in. Even though he was embarrassed, his sword was clearly filled with power.
‘but.’
I figured out all the sword techniques.
The single line formed by the divine sword and the magic sword distorted the flow of Kang-hwan and carved a red line on Cloud’s neck.
“I, I still…”
Cloud held his cracked neck, trembled his shoulders, and fell backwards, as if he couldn’t believe he was dead. He looked up at Raon with veiny eyes and then lowered his head.
“It’s a good thing I didn’t kill you then.”
Raon dropped the disappearing divine sword and the magic sword and pursed his lips.
“Thanks to you, I was able to grow again.”
After saying the last words to Cloud, who could no longer hear, I bent down to pick up the two swords I had dropped.
“Wow!”
Raon picked up his sword and spit out black blood. Because I overexerted myself by pulling out the auror, the demonic energy dug deeper into me and shook my organs.
‘It’s a one-second sword realm manifestation…’
The sacrifice was great, but thanks to that, I was able to win. If I hadn’t made that decision, it wouldn’t have been me who would be standing here now, but Cloud.
Raon lifted his gaze, clutching his heaving chest.
‘Now I have to make a decision…’
