< Storm Core -Paid Startup- >
Sang-woo was overwhelmed by the momentum of Sword Seeker.
‘What is an elemental sword and what is a guardian sword? How things are going.’
Sang-woo was confused.
But perhaps because I was overwhelmed by the momentum, my mouth opened on its own.
“I will be my disciple.”
Sang-woo’s voice trembled as he said he would become a disciple.
With those words, the Sword Seeker’s momentum faded.
Sword Seeker or Raven smiled happily.
-With this, you are now my disciple.
Raven raised Sang-woo up and patted him on the shoulder.
‘Teacher and disciple…’
Sang-woo spat out something at the awkwardness.
“What can I call you now? Master? Master? Mr. Sword Seeker? No, did you say Mr. Raven earlier…”
– Call me Master. disciple
“Yes, I understand. father-in-law But the Urencia Empire and the Elemental Sword? What is it all about? I wonder.”
-That’s…
Raven hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
-I came to Earth from another world.
“yes? another world? Are you saying it’s not Earth?”
-yes. My hometown is called Tibern. The first time I came over was 30 years ago.
30 years ago, around 1994.
Given the cataclysm that took place in 2000, the date makes no sense.
“uh? It’s kind of weird. The cataclysm occurred and the portal appeared in 2000, so it was 24 years ago…”
-30 years ago is correct. At that time, I was floating in the middle of an ocean on Earth.
His eyes became vague as if he was reminiscing about the past.
-I was already seriously injured before coming over to Earth. While fighting the River guy.
He is so strong that he is injured.
Sangwoo couldn’t have imagined it at first glance.
Who is this guy called River, so he’s a sword seeker?
“Who is River?”
-He is a great wizard from Earth. Even the dragons were slain by him.
Sang-woo didn’t know how strong the dragon was.
I just think so.
Rather, it was surprising that he was an earthling.
Did someone already cross over to Tibern from Earth 30 years ago?
The story progressed more and more interestingly.
– He was a very strong madman. It’s been a long time since Reaver crossed over to Tibern from Earth. We’ve already been fighting the Kranids since he first came over.
“Cranid? What is it?”
-The monsters that created the portal… Those guys are Cranid.
It was a series of shocks.
‘The portal didn’t naturally occur after all.’ Of course, I didn’t believe Raven’s words 100%, but I gained some trust because I thought that there was no way a strong person like that would lie.
Sang-woo fell deeply into his story.
-The planet Tibern was also devastated by the invasion of Cranids. As if the Earth had undergone a cataclysm… After that, all the surviving beings of the planet Tibern gathered in the Urencia Empire.
Humans, elves, dwarves, dragons, and other races that had been in conflict for a long time all joined hands and stood against Cranid. Under the leadership of the dragon, a huge barrier was built in the Urencia Empire, and we desperately tried to maintain it.
It was like a dream.
Elves, dwarves and dragons.
Raven’s words continued.
-While the entire race was fighting a life-and-death war, a portal opened near the barrier and people poured out. Then there was the River guy. The guy was immediately captured by the dragons.
Saying that, Raven smiled bitterly.
– People including River were interrogated by dragons. No… it was torture. Then we touched something we shouldn’t have touched.
To sum up Raven’s words afterwards, it was as follows.
It is said that River, who was being tortured, begged for his life in exchange for teaching Earth’s science and technology to the Urencia Empires he met by chance.
The Empire, who saw the potential of science and technology, persuaded the dragon, and he was released from captivity and began manufacturing chemical weapons such as firearms and cannons.
At the same time, he began to learn magic one by one from wizards who were curious about new civilization and learning, and at some point he became a great wizard.
-He swallowed the empire in an instant. I, the heirs of the Elemental Sword, and the strongest forces of the Dragon Empire confronted him, but I couldn’t win. I was just miserably defeated. I was the only one who managed to survive by jumping into the portal Reaver had opened.
Silence passed.
“Then what happened to the Urencia Empire?”
-I don’t know…. It could have perished, or it could have survived as the emperor. When we fight him, the emperor and nobles have already become his puppets. Most likely, the guy is manipulating from behind without revealing his existence. Originally,
he’s a gloomy guy. Even if it were, there is no way. I can’t go back until I reach the point where I can defeat him.
“Um… can’t we just go back secretly?”
– There’s a problem. It means that the location of the portal through which I arrived on Earth is unknown. All I know is that I was in the middle of the ocean when I woke up.
“Ah…”
It was a sad story.
And it was an amazing relationship.
To think that a person from another world has lost his hometown and is wandering around.
And after turning around like that, he became Sang-woo’s own master.
The atmosphere became very awkward and heavy.
“Master. So, can I train now and slit that guy named River?”
Sang-woo said cheerfully.
At that, Raven shook his head.
– Arthur. Even I could never beat him. Because he was like a ‘god’…
That scene from the past came to Raven’s mind.
A white man with pale skin and black hair.
He calmly shook his head with an expressionless face.
[Die.]
At that word, the last death squad of the empire died on the spot without knowing why.
It was a terrifying sight, and it remained deeply traumatized in Raven’s mind forever.
River was considered an existence that could not be matched.
-Mentioning the Urencia Empire and the planet Tibern was just a customary practice when accepting as disciples. So you don’t have to feel the pressure of having to fight the River guy. I just wanted to leave my sword to the world.
In fact, Sang-woo did not want to fight such an existence, so he was happy with Raven’s words.
“Um… I see. Well, if I get stronger after training, I’ll take care of this guy named River.”
Raven laughed at Sang-woo’s playful answer.
-i get it. Then, now that you are a disciple, let’s start training in earnest.
“Now?” -okay. disciple I will pass on the Storm Core Mana Engine right away.
“No, but it’s a bit different here.”
-Time is gold. Come on, take a seat.
At Raven’s reckless words, Sang-woo sat with his back to him.
Raven placed his palm on Sang-woo’s back.

Meanwhile at that time.
Water volcanic eruptions that occurred along the coast of Gangwon-do were observed around the world.
And some countries noticed that the waterspout was unusual, and some organizations noticed that it was a sword seeker’s skill.
“Sword Seeker is in Korea.”
“Is it really? Oops… get the plane ticket.”
“When?”
“Right Now.”
Countries and organizations set off for Korea in order to scout the S-Class, a wanderer without a country.
But not everyone reacted so positively.
A skyscraper in Beijing, China.
At the top, there was a huge grand palace that seemed to have been combined with several floors of interior space like a Chinese palace.
the most senior among them.
A man prostrated under the battlefield was reporting to the place where the main ryeom was hit.
“Swordsman, traces of Yongoreum have been found in Korea.”
-Did the Sword Seeker appear?
“It seems so. Please watch the related video.”
With those words, a picture that seemed to have been taken from a satellite was unfolded as a hologram image inside the box.
The old swordsman, who was lying on his side with his upper body naked inside the juryeom, carefully examined the video.
The blue and rust-colored waterspout swirled fiercely with the energy of lightning and aura.
At the same time, three men can be seen on the beach.
The man’s face was not clear, so I couldn’t see it well, but the gray hair was familiar.
The eyes of the swordsman who saw it turned bleak.
At the same time, a heavy aura began to pervade the whole of Daejeon.
Ssssss-
Juryeom and pottery shook.
“Keuuu…”
And the man prostrated on the floor also groaned.
Regardless of this, the swordsman was lost in thought.
‘Sword Seeker… You owe me.’
Swordsman’s right arm suddenly ached.
So, he straightened his body, which had been lying at an angle.
When he raised his body from lying down, he saw his right arm, which was lying on his back.
However, there was something strange about his right arm.
Unmatched for his age, it was all bumpy, like a monster’s arm.
‘He took my right arm.’
He had lost his right arm once.
The now gruesome but powerful right arm was newly acquired.
It was none other than the Sword Seeker who took his original right arm.
‘Thanks to that, I got a stronger arm. Now it’s time to get that debt back. Sword Seeker.’
How long have you been looking for him for revenge? Then, not too long ago, I was able to find traces of a sword seeker in Paris, France.
‘But Lucas took it.’
Swordsman asked the Enlighten Group, the Americans he hates, to help them find out the whereabouts of the Sword Seeker.
That’s because I wanted to take revenge on the Sword Seeker.
However, when there was no reply from the Enlighten Group, they finally found the traces of the Sword Seeker.
-Monitor his every move.
“Johnny.”
After answering, the subordinate disappeared on the spot.
Seeing that, the Sword Master stood up.
‘I’ll have to sharpen my senses again.’
It seemed that sooner or later he would have to move himself.

Sword Seeker was explaining about the Storm Core Mana Engine with his hand on Sang-Woo’s back.
Through his hand, mana with the attribute of wind dug into Sang-woo’s body and stimulated him.
-Remember this attribute of mana. This is mana with the attribute of wind. The first step of the Storm Core Mana Engine is to create a core inside the body and convert the mana inside the body into the attribute of wind. The location of the core is around the middle of the upper body.
It was a completely different method from other internal core methods or mana engines that used Danjeon or the heart as cores to accumulate mana.
However, Sang-woo didn’t have any doubts and just as Raven told him, he gathered mana and rotated it.
Then, a strange flow of mana began to swirl in his body.
like the wind
Mana moved freely without distinguishing organs or blood vessels.
Then
[Storm Core Mana Engine skill has been created.]
‘Oh, that’s it.’
Sang-woo admired.
The created core began to rotate while attracting mana around it.
The mana sucked into the core began to take on the property of wind.
‘Amazing.’
Raven was surprised.
Raven, in particular, was admiring Sang-woo’s clean body, unlike Gluttony, who had an obstruction in the pit of the stomach.
Like a newborn baby, it was clean with almost no waste.
It was because mana breathing was always maintained and waste products were discharged because he had reached the maximum level of his mana breathing skill, but Raven did not know that.
I just feel that Sangwoo is a great talent.
he continued.
-Mana has substance, but it does not have substance. The fact that the mana flowing solidly through the body follows a set path is actually a path created by human stereotypes. Mana can move freely anywhere on the body.
Yes.
Because mana existed in all things.
The fact that the mana obtained through breathing was blocked inside the body and could not move freely was a virtual wall created by stereotypes.
Raven’s lecture continued.
-Thinking of that, create a wind vortex made of mana within me. Do not think that organs or blood vessels are in the way. It’s just a stereotype. The size of the core is just a stereotype. It can be compressed to a very small size or expanded beyond the body to the outside of the body. It all depends on your will and imagination.
Concentrate on and rotate your core constantly.
This was a part that showed the excellence of the Stormcore mana engine, which makes it easy to achieve a Mana Body (the entire body is made of mana and filled) by using the upper body as the core and furthermore, the entire body as the core.
After completing the first step, the process of reaching Mana Body was smooth.
Of course, it is difficult to build a core easily if there are a lot of waste products in the body, so the first step to create a core took a long time.
For this reason, most of Stormbringer’s successors from generation to generation learned the Stormcore Mana Engine at a very young age.
However, Sangwoo was already easily able to create and maintain the first stage of the core.
And Gluttony was sitting next to him, copying the Storm Core mana engine. Swoop –
The part of Gluttony’s body, which is the symbol of gluttony, began to rotate like crazy.
Gluttony’s core showed a different rotational and compressive force than Sangwoo’s core.
At the same time
[Storm Core Mana Engine skill level has risen.]
[The level of alter ego skill has increased.] [
The level of alter ego enhancement skill has increased.]
[The power of gluttony has increased.]
