Episode 368 Cabalon (7)
[Ah!]
Karen widened her eyes as she watched Cabalon fall.
‘Bah what just happened?’
It was a hopeless situation, with death approaching.
I told Baek Woo-jin not to give up, but I didn’t have the slightest idea that Cabalon’s advantage would be broken.
It’s natural.
Baek Woo-jin’s aura, physical strength, and mental power had reached their limits, but Cabalon’s energy surged endlessly.
In addition, the needle that would fuse the dimensions was spinning in the sky, so this was also urgent.
It was a situation where no one could win no matter what they did, and it was not Baek Woo-jin who fell, but Cabalon.
‘How on earth…’
I have seen countless warriors through Cain who became a demon sword.
Even though I had seen countless battles of swordsmen slashing the sky and splitting the earth with a single sword, I had no idea what was just happening.
‘I couldn’t see anything.’
I thought it was all over when Baek Woo-jin missed the Seolyoung sword and the flash of light from Kabaron came rushing in.
As he prepared to die and was about to close his eyes, a dark, serious light erupted from near Baek Woo-jin’s heart, and Cabalon collapsed, vomiting blood.
It was something beyond reason and imagination, but that was really all it was.
‘Is it really over this time?’
Karen narrowed her eyes as she looked at the fallen Cabalon. I was careful because I didn’t know the situation, but he didn’t move a single inch.
Whoa whoa.
Seeing Cavalon’s youthful energy dissipate and the halo that illuminated his back melt, it felt like he had completely lost his breath.
‘Oppa…’
Karen used the title ‘oppa’ for the first time after seeing Cabalon again.
I wanted to see him again, who gave me warm eyes, but it was just a wish.
My older brother, who was kinder to me than anyone else in the world, died as the worst god named Kabaron. That was so sad and pitiful.
“Big!”
It was only after Baek Woo-jin confirmed that Cabalon was definitely dead that he sat down as if his legs had lost strength.
“Haa haa….”
It is a low breathing sound like a sleeping child. It meant that he was exhausted.
[Woojin. I’m sorry.]
Karen lowered her head with her trembling hands clasped together.
[If I had prepared thoroughly, this wouldn’t have happened. I wonder what I should say since everything was caught from the beginning…]
“It’s okay.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand with a tired face.
“Thanks to your last words, I have reached a new level.”
[New new level? Now that I think about it, what on earth did you do?]
“I don’t know exactly. I wonder if this is really the sword of the heart…”
[Poetry of the heart! Is it a heart sword?]
The heart sword is the highest level of a sword that cuts down the enemy’s soul with sharply forged intent. It is an invincible martial art that can kill an enemy with just a thought, no matter how strong and difficult the enemy is.
Cain, who was said to have become a god for nothing, was able to use a heart sword that no one had ever used before. For a moment, I was completely lost.
‘okay. That magnificent light was the heart sword. That makes sense…’
Karen nodded. No matter how transcendent one was, in order to kill Kabalon, who had ascended to godhood, one would have to sacrifice his life for an entire day.
But Baek Woo-jin broke the flow with just one move. That was impossible unless it was the sword of the heart that was only known as an illusion.
‘He’s a fascinating person.’
Baek Woo-jin was given so much compensation that Cain went on a rampage. It was natural that he grew quickly, but his speed and height exceeded even his predictions.
According to the original plan, he should have risen to the absolute peak here and now and defeated Kavaron together with the awakened Cain.
However, in the worst situation, when Cain became an enemy and Kavaron knew everything, he climbed onto the sword of the heart and cut Kabaron down alone.
A result that exceeded both the enemy’s expectations and our allies’ plans. Even if you go back hundreds or even thousands of times, you won’t get the same results as today.
This was only possible because it was Baek Woo-jin.
‘Thank you so, so much.’
Karen bowed her head to Baek Woo-jin with sincerity flowing like spring water from her dry heart.
**
‘Cabaron is definitely dead, right?’
Baek Woo-jin did not take his eyes off Cabalon while taking a breath.
He didn’t let his guard down because he was the one who stood up even after being hit by darkness and his own new sword attack, but this time there was definitely no reaction.
‘Well, it’s because it’s a sword.’
The Heart Sword is a dream state that is only told in legend, not only on Earth but also on the Marutun Continent.
A sword that cuts not just the enemy’s life but his soul. It was an invincible sword that could never be blocked unless it was the same Heart Sword.
‘It’s good to be promoted to the position of swordsman, but…’
Baek Woo-jin turned around and looked at the fallen darkness. I still didn’t feel alive.
“What happened to the darkness? “I don’t think he’s dead.”
I could tell that he was not dead because his soul was connected to darkness, but he did not wake up from that body or appear as a demon sword.
[I think he hasn’t woken up yet because he lost his body while in a state of mental shock due to brainwashing.]
“Then maybe there’s a problem?”
[I don’t know either. I think we will only find out once Cain wakes up, at least in the form of a sword.]
“I see.”
Baek Woo-jin played with his fingernails. Although he has an unpleasant side, darkness is his most precious friend. I became nervous because I couldn’t figure out his condition.
“Whew…”
I sighed and looked up at the sky. The needle completely disappeared, and the earth floating above it became translucent again and disappeared.
“hmm?”
But there was another round star floating above the Earth. It was a strangely shaped star that was half red and half blue.
“What is that?”
[Ah, that star…]
-It is the Demon World. This is the fifth demon realm of extreme cold and extreme heat. If that had merged with Earth, humans would have perished.
“Is it really the Demon World? But the fifth? “The Demon World is not just one… darkness!”
[Cain!]
I thought it was Karen talking, but it wasn’t. The darkness that had returned in the form of a magic sword was hovering over his shoulder.
“Are you okay?”
-Other than the shock of hearing your spoiler, I’m fine. You damn bastard!
“You bastard!”
Baek Woo-jin smiled heartily and hugged the darkness.
-You spoiler. Let it go!
The darkness trembled as if it was embarrassed and ran to Karen’s side.
-Don’t be foolish and tell me the situation. How on earth did you defeat that guy? To be honest, I thought it was all over…
“If I hear it, I’m going to go crazy?”
-There’s an uproar? What on earth did you do?
“Matriarch!”
“Prosecutor!”
Just as I was about to talk about Simgeom, expecting a scream from darkness, Moon Joo-young and Moo Young-gaek came running.
-Because they are okay. Don’t hesitate and speak quickly!
‘Wait a moment. See you later… Huh?’
Baek Woo-jin froze with his head turned.
‘What is this again?’
Everything stopped, including Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek, who were running this way, and Servik who was behind them.
-What!
[Ah!]
“No way!”
I jumped up and saw Cabalon’s body. Light flickers from him again. And the instrument shines brighter than ever.
“shit! “It’s happening again?”
He urgently used his will and pulled out the Seolyeong sword that was stuck in the ground.
‘I can’t back down.’
I had no energy left because I used all my mental and physical aura for the mind sword, but I couldn’t give up here.
This is a realization I gained while operating an Auror until the very end of the Mind Sword. If we fight somehow, we may overcome our limits again.
“uh?”
However, the golden light filled with musical instruments was not Cabalon’s whole body, but was held in his hand like a leash.
Squeaky!
The golden sphere struggled, making noises like thousands of rats, but Cavalon did not loosen his tight grip.
“I don’t think I’ve come to my senses yet! Attack now…”
[Wait a minute!]
-Wait!
When I tried to run to Cabalon, Darkness and Karen blocked my way.
“What are you talking about! “If it’s not now, we’ll all die!”
-It’s not him.
“what?”
-It is not the Kavaron who became a god, but the one before that.
“What is that…”
[It’s my brother. [Original older brother!]
Darkness and Karen stood up saying the same thing. Both seemed to view the author as Kavaron before he became a god.
‘Hmm…’
I looked at Cabalon again. Although his appearance was the same, his eyes contained sadness, guilt, and relief. It was completely different from before, when it was filled with murder and madness.
“Ha, I don’t know what to say first.”
Cavalon sighed and bit his lip.
[Oppa!]
-Cabaron!
Heukam and Karen ran towards Kabaron, but did not let go of Seolyeonggeom’s sword soldiers in case of an unexpected situation.
“Don’t come.”
Cavalon shook his head. The voice was the same, but I couldn’t sense the murderous intent inside it.
“I have committed a grave sin that cannot be washed away. “Just coming near me will make you guilty.”
[BUT!]
-You idiot! Why on earth is that like that!
“sorry. When I think about it, I think I fell for this guy’s plan from the moment I reached the ancient tribe’s land. “It’s all my fault.”
Cabalon frowned as he looked at the golden energy gathered in his right hand. That instrument seemed to be the main body of the magic that had been controlling Cabalon all this time.
“My mind was fine, but my body was beyond my will. Like a frog trapped in a jar, there was nothing he could do. I wanted to stop my body even if I had to die, but I couldn’t die.
[Oh brother…]
Karen clutched her heart, as if she felt even more pained by Cabalon’s emotionless tone.
“I committed heavy and serious sins over an immeasurable amount of time. “I was not a god, I was a slayer and a monster.”
[That’s not what you did! It was all because of that shamanism….]
-….
“I was the one who tried to take advantage of it, and I was the one who couldn’t overcome it and fell into shamanism. Even if it wasn’t my will, nothing can make up for it. In the end, it’s my fault. Karen.”
Cavalon smiled softly. It was a laugh filled with sadness and pain.
[Oppa!]
Karen couldn’t stand it anymore and ran to Cabalon and hugged him. Cabalon hugged Karen with his left hand as he approached her, chewing her lip.
“I’m sorry. And thank you.”
[Now wait!]
“I will carry all your darkness with me.”
As Cabalon held Karen’s shoulder with his left hand, a golden light similar to the one held in his right hand emanated from her body.
Ugh!
Cabalon gathered all the light into his right hand and let go of Karen.
“Cain. Thank you for stopping me thousands of years ago and now. And I’m sorry.”
-You idiot….
“Haha. “It’s been a while since I heard those words.”
The darkness shook its blade so much that the air vibrated. It felt like I was holding back what I wanted to say.
“It’s time to go now.”
Cabalon’s body becomes blurred. It felt like I didn’t have much time left in this world.
“Baek Woo-jin.”
Cavalon looked at us and smiled faintly.
“Thanks to you, the shackles that imprison me have been broken. Now I can finally come back to myself. “Thank you so much for giving me my last bit of freedom.”
“…no.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head. Cabalon’s life was fading away. It was only when death approached that freedom was achieved.
“As a martial artist, it was an honor to see the great martial artist Simgeom.”
Cabalon nodded and then looked at Karen and Cain again.
“This will be the last time I, a sinful person, see you.”
[Oh brother!]
-Cabaron!
“Thank you so much for stopping this ugly guy. “My family.”
Cabalon’s heart-pounding voice stopped and his soul melted like foam.
Kyaaa!
The main body of the golden magic screamed and struggled, but Cabalon did not let go of the light and disappeared along with it.
“….”
The paused time passed again, but Baek Woo-jin and Dark Karen just stared at the land where Kabaron had disappeared.
-uh? Wait a minute…
The darkness hovered blankly next to Karen and then turned its blade.
– Now that I think about it, that guy said something strange.
‘Strange words?’
-okay. You said some bullshit about Cavalon being a swordsman.
‘Isn’t that bullshit?’
Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression.
‘Did I ask you how you defeated Cavalon earlier?’
– No way.
‘That’s true. I cut his soul with my heart sword.’
-City review?
‘Simgeom.’
-real?
‘really.’
-Sim-geom! Where are you talking?
The darkness must have thought this was nonsense and twisted the blade like a twist.
[Cain. It’s true.]
-Huh?
[Woojin cut down Kabalon with his heart sword. A black light spreads from Woojin’s whole body, and Cabalon vomits blood…]
Karen told the darkness about the situation she had personally seen.
-This is not it. This isn’t real!
The darkness fell behind without being able to continue speaking. The guy started jumping up and down like a frog that missed its food.
-I can’t use the Heart Sword, so why are you using it?
‘I just happened to see it.’
-How can a bastard with no blood on his head outrun me?
The sword’s blade was stained red by the true anger of darkness.
‘Stay still. There’s a saying like that. If you cry and get angry, hair will grow on your blade…’
-Shut up. You bastard! Karen! You gave it away again, right? Otherwise, there’s no way that guy could use the Heart Sword!
[no. At the level of transcendence, there is nothing I can do about it. This time, Woojin achieved it alone.]
‘Did you hear?’
– That’s nonsense! How can a guy with only luck in his head achieve the sword of the heart….
The sword of the heart is a level that cannot be reached by luck or effort. It was natural for the darkness to be so angry.
-Not this! I can never admit that you are above me!
‘It doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not. ‘Because I’m already above you.’
-Aaaah!
Baek Woo-jin grinned while hearing the screams of darkness.
“Matriarch. “Are you okay?”
“Prosecutor. “The reason there was a hole in the stomach…”
While I was enjoying the victory to the fullest, Moon Ju-young approached me with a worried face.
“are you okay.”
I held up the torn black battlecloth for the two of them so they wouldn’t have to worry. There was definitely a hole, but thanks to the initial recovery, the bleeding stopped and it started to heal little by little.
“I don’t know what happened….”
“We achieved the real purpose of coming here.”
“Then that guy called God….”
“Yes. “I got it.”
“Huh!”
“Uh…”
Moon Joo-young opened her mouth with a mesmerized look on her face, and Moo Young-gaek fell back and only let out a gurgling sound.
They are two people who do not believe in God, but having seen the scale of what happened here, they have no choice but to believe.
“Have you finished clearing the battlefield?”
“Ah yes! I took care of everything with Deple and the castle lords.”
“Sure!”
“You were just playing!”
Moon Joo-young pushed Mu Young-gaek’s shoulder, who was smiling mischievously.
“Then it’s the last time.”
“The last one?”
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned.
“We won the war, so we should take the spoils.”
“Ohh!”
Mu Young-gaek nodded, his eyes flashing in agreement with his own smile.
“It’s finally my turn!”
