Episode 259
Kim Eun-ah shook the potion bottle around and began to swallow the liquid with great determination. After drinking the
potion
, Kim Eun-ah frowned and appealed for her horror.
“Green and blue… The taste is very bitter… Even sticky… The potion is really terrible.”
Kim Eun-ah, who woke up near the campfire, went out to the entrance of the cave and looked at the sky where the rain was pouring down like a torrent.
“Isn’t the rain falling now also part of the setting for the field?”
“I guess so. The rain that falls during battle hides the sound and traces.”
Shin Yoo-seong’s story in the mountains often gave Kim Eun-ah new knowledge.
“Hide the traces?”
Interestingly, Kim Eun-ah, who came close to Shin Yoo-seong, naturally took the hair tie. And then, naturally, she tied Shin Yoo-seong’s hair instead.
Shuk-
Kim Eun-ah moving the tip of her chin to keep explaining. Yooseong Shin smiled and continued to explain.
“Rain from mountains like this flows downhill and erases traces.”
“Hmm, what about footprints and things like that?”
After carefully tying her hair, Kim Eun-ah sighed.
“You know a lot about such difficult things… What are you talking about? Only my mouth hurts.”
However, Shin Yoo-seong looked out of the cave where it was raining and said in a serious voice, whether he knew Kim Eun-ah’s heart or not.
“And the rainy situation has more advantages for you, Eun-ah. Opponents that are wet are vulnerable to lightning.”
However, Kim Eun-ah looked at Shin Yoo-seong with an expression that neither laughed nor cried while listening to the explanation.
2 years.
If you think about it, even those two years when Kim Jun-hyeok fell into a coma was quite a long time for Kim Eun-ah.
However, Shin Yoo-seong spent well over ten years only in the mountains. He is very good in his field, but he put a lot of thought into that empty gap.
“Hmm…”
There was no way a fool who didn’t hesitate to say that holding hands with a member of the opposite sex or becoming a family would know that.
deep trouble.
and at its end.
“hey.”
Kim Eun-ah sang Shin Yoo-seong.
“good. I will understand.”
Kim Eun-ah, who said that without hesitation about what the hell she was trying to understand, added a short explanation.
“Because I can teach you from now on!”
Looking at Kim Eun-ah, who happily reached out her hand even though it was a young riddle, Yoo-seong Shin smiled and shook her hand.
“okay. Eunah.”
“I don’t know where to begin teaching.”
Kim Eun-ah declared that she would fill the empty gap of Shin Yoo-seong.
It was neither a proposal nor anything, but Kim Eun-ah’s heart for Shin Yoo-seong was clear.
but.
It’s a while to feel the peace in a cozy cave.
Zi Ying- Shin Yoo-
seong felt an incredibly refined life in the pouring rain. It feels like a cold knife point is approaching your heart and aiming for your life.
However, it was not an unfamiliar sensation to Shin Yoo-seong, who had fought wild beasts at a young age.
Seureung-
The movement of someone drawing a sword.
Shin Yoo-seong’s outstanding five senses conveyed the movement of mana through the air like a skein of thread, and it seemed as if he could see an intangible sword.
“Wait…”
Quite a distance from the current location of the cave. The opponent captured a tremendous sense of intimidation just by holding mana and stance, and then it was captured like a secret blade. What’s left after that is just an ugly life.
Wedge-!
Shin Yoo-seong felt the opponent’s sword containing mana strike the air.
Neat date cut without superfluity.
“uh? why?”
Unaware of the situation, Kim Eun-ah asked with a surprised face. It was clearly visible in Shin Yooseong’s eyes.
Joo Woo-wook-
A red line drawn aiming at himself and Kim Eun-ah.
Tsutsutsut-!
A mass of pure mana rushing along the path of the sword at great speed.
“Dangerous-!”
Fire!
Shin Yoo-seong pushed Kim Eun-ah in an urgent situation.
moment.
0.1 seconds.
maybe less time than that.
The cave was split in half along a line drawn with a long, thick blue sword.
No, it split the mountain. The mountains
that
were cut in half began to lean towards each other. Evidence that it was not simply a cave, but an entire mountain.
Cheez!
The upper levels of the cave collapsed and dirt started pouring out. All the opponent needed to topple the mountain was a single sword.
* * *
In the forest in the pouring rain.
The gigantic eagle flapped its mana-filled wings, spinning fiercely through the sky, and landed on Colt’s shoulder.
“This is the cave. I had a hard time finding it because of the rain, but I finished checking.”
The person Colt was talking to was Ryujin, who was wearing a gray hooded cloak.
Colt stroked his long beard, which he couldn’t believe he was a student, and then cautiously gave his opinion.
“The most important thing is to separate the two of us, who were once at the same party. It’s a disadvantage if you match the sum.”
Colt was contemplating how to separate Shin Yoo-seong and Kim Eun-ah within common sense.
However, Ryujin, who walked through the hood and looked at the cave, did not worry about that at all.
“You know? That there is a peculiar tremor in the voice of a liar.”
Rather, Ryujin was looking at the cave and asking Colt.
“I can’t hold hands with a liar. last ask What is the real reason you chose me?”
Colt laughed out loud at Ryujin’s question, then bit a weed he didn’t know where it came from.
“Are you still thinking about such trifles in this situation? OK, I’ll tell you.”
After
spitting out weed on the floor, Colt looked at Ryujin and took out his pocket watch.
“I thought your situation was similar to mine. Isn’t it famous what kind of desperate story the prince of the skyscraper has? Not as much as you.”
Colt opened his pocket watch, showed him a faded photo, and smiled, showing white teeth.
“There is a reason I can’t lose either.”
some silence.
At the end, Ryujin took off his hood and murmured softly.
“…is that the answer?”
“You’re more desperate than me, so you’d even hold the hand of a ghost to increase your chances of winning.”
Tsar – Tak!
Colt deftly pulled a pistol from his hip in the rain.
“What more explanation do I need?”
Although they had nothing in common between the two, who were improvised parties to overthrow Gaon. A clear goal made a clear path.
“Right.”
saw exactly
As Colt said, there was something very important to Ryujin. I could have given up my life for it. I was able to hold hands with other parties as well as with ghosts.
Pride was not important to such Ryujin.
[I still! I like being with oppa the best!]
Yes. There was something even more precious to Ryujin. It was a younger brother who pretended to be okay because he was worried about himself while watching the wonderful world on the screen.
[Getting used to it. It sounds really sad. Getting used to being sick is even more…]
Even so, she was still a very tender girl who showed a weak side.
[When I get better, I want to make friends. That too… a lot!]
He was a child with simple dreams.
okay.
Ryu Ming was everything to Ryu Jin.
[Ryu Ming. Your dream is my dream.]
Liu Ming’s wish is.
It was Ryujin’s wish.
Perhaps it was Ryu Ming who kept Ryu Jin from the hellish reality. Still, what kind of ordeal would it be to try to take away this last precious thing?
if there is a god
Is this also an ordeal from God?
Saaah-
Ryujin closed her eyes.
He felt countless hands reaching out to him and Liu Ming. And among them was his teacher, the Sword God Rebellion.
‘Ryu Ming.’
Ryujin opened her eyes.
The refined mana wrapped around the sword with a blue light, and the cold gaze seemed to pierce something beyond the cave.
[Right. Is that silence your answer?]
I heard the voice of someone who was so familiar yet resentful more than anything.
[Curious about our technology? Then why not try it yourself? For your younger brother.]
The voice of the person who claimed to be a villain who should have been cut down by Hunters was also heard.
‘Who should I trust to save you?’
Not the strongest of skyscrapers.
As an older brother who just wants to protect something precious.
Squeak –
He struck down the sword.
A
small red line connected to the end of Ryujin’s
sword
.
Tsut-
The blue mana continued on the red thread.
Unlike the fierce sword attack.
Like
a leaf that has fallen from a tree.
The mana at the tip of the sword shook lightly and fluttered in the sky.
[Why did I name my swordsmanship ‘Cheonghapaegum’?]
Ryujin felt resentful that the voice that came to his mind at this moment belonged to that person. As much as Ryujin respected the Sword God, he hated him terribly.
but.
The swordsman’s teachings were so intensely ingrained in Ryujin that he could no longer wash them off.
[You’re asking something trivial. Of course… Because there is nothing in this world that I cannot cut with my swordsmanship.]
Tak.
at the top of the mountain.
to where the forest meets.
A single thin line.
Chow ah ah-!
But that thin line split the mountain in two.
Swoop – Tak.
Ryujin puts the sword into the scabbard.
“This is… the Supreme Sword? What the hell is this….”
Confused, Colt froze on the spot with his mouth wide open, but Ryujin calmly looked at the scene and then threw out a short word.
“Let’s get started.”
Swordsman’s disciple.
Skyscraper loser.
Ryu Jin had countless titles to praise his great skills.
But, ironically, there is only one word that can accurately penetrate Ryujin.
It was a heavenly sword.
