Schwack!
The flash that tore the wind was indeed sharp and precise.
Black Dragon Sword.
A boy who was only in his teens, but who stood out early enough to overshadow his young age, the first and last gift he received from his father, Bodo (寶刀), followed the owner’s hand and accurately cut through the target in front of his eyes.
Awesome!
Blood splashed along with a cool cutting sound, and the pair of eyes that were staring at all of this sank deeply.
“What are you doing?”
It was a question with a lot of questions, but the answer that came back was simple and clear.
“Because it’s not the way I want it to be.”
Sama Pyo removed his hand from the cold hilt.
The sharp blade, which was only allowed for the successor of the Black Dragon Demon Clan, grazed Sima Gong’s nose and cut through a puddle of blood.
As if laughing at his father, who was happy to see his son grow up to be a true Sapphire and willingly accepted death.
“This is my choice. This is the path taken by Sima Pyo, who will succeed you as the head of the Black Dragon Demon Clan.”
“why…!”
Sima Pyo stared calmly at Sima Gong, who shouted with a bloody voice.
“Because it is not right.”
“what?”
“Because it is neither the best nor the best.”
For Sima Pyo, this was not a matter of which came first.
It was a matter of what was right and what was better.
“I had forgotten about it all my life. No, I was used to it, so I kept pretending I didn’t know. But not anymore.”
The past life in Gansuk was literally a series of struggles.
Like the blood relatives born before him, the youngest member of the Sima family had to struggle to avoid being abandoned.
They were a family with the same lineage, but at the same time, they were competitors who had to fight for the only successor position, and they were no different from soldiers obeying the one person who inherited this lineage.
Sometimes even death is such a existence.
‘Father’s second older brother…!’
‘I have already heard through the messenger. The funeral will be held after all of them are wiped out, so you should know that.’
Sima Gong was a cold-hearted conqueror, and it took a lot of blood and sacrifice to unify Sapa.
It was an open secret that more than five brothers and sisters died in the process of the black dragon demon gate encompassing all the sects in the world and standing shoulder to shoulder with the common faction.
Although no one knew that Confucius, the youngest member of the Black Dragon Clan, who was chosen as the heir even at the age of a teenager, was not as cold-hearted as he seemed.
‘Why are you crying so sadly?’
‘Father helped the Black Dragon Demon Gate. but died sad.’
‘…!’
‘We need to find the body. You must bury your father. But, by the way, those people said they didn’t know. Taesan is sad.’
‘…they said it was Taesan. Come with me.’
Sama Pyo found the boy’s father who was crying with a distraction. He was buried surrounded by crows while wearing the uniform of the Black Dragon Demon Gate.
And for the first time in my life, I made friends.
The only friend who cares for you more than your father, who is more important than your family.
However, I never thought that I would have another friend after more than ten years had passed since then.
“I got to know them while I was with them. That everything ultimately depends on my choices.”
Hwaryonggak.
Contrary to the grandiose name, Sama Pyo was able to discover a new path he did not know in their gap of only ten people.
No shackles or tags existed there.
We always believed in each other and fought, and that’s how we got through the crisis.
Perhaps that was the case.
The reason why Sama Pyo looked back on her past life several times.
The reason why I started to have strange feelings about my father who had no blood or tears at some point.
“Suddenly, I had an idea. If you get to know me, I think you’re a very pitiful person too.”
“…!”
“It probably wasn’t like that in the first place. Gradually, you will be captivated by ambition, and one day you will stop choosing the means and methods.”
There is no son who once could not bear to face his father’s stern gaze.
At this moment, Sama Pyo was looking at her father, who was about to die, with calm and sorrowful eyes.
“It was no coincidence.”
“That… what.”
“It didn’t come back by accident. I’m just here to protect your last. Not as the successor of the Dark Night King, but as a son who inherited the blood of Lord Sima.”
slap.
“Do you know?”
Sima Pyo sat in a pool of blood and met her father’s gaze. He looked into his trembling eyes and spoke slowly.
“There is no son in this world who can kill his father.”
“…!”
“I will tell them all with my own mouth. I will also tell you a story about an ugly son who tried hard to ignore his father’s betrayal.”
“you.”
“I am not seeking forgiveness. It’s about enduring it.”
Sima Gong was unable to say anything to that calm answer that accepted everything.
I just tried my best to suppress a certain emotion that I had forgotten for a long time and suddenly came to this place today.
In the slowly darkening vision. Feeling the quickening breath as if hinting at the end.
“I asked why. Why did I, who had only pursued survival and practicality all my life, make such a stupid choice…”
To find a successor to inherit everything?
no. It wasn’t.
At least at that moment, Sima Gong knew that it was another reason.
But it was too late to confess this.
“I am this father.”
Sima Gong squeezed out his voice with all his remaining strength toward his son, who returned to protect his father’s end.
Without even recognizing that it was his last breath.
Seruk.
A head that suddenly bends.
The son whispered quietly to his father, who died in a gruesome manner as if it were the karma of his life.
“I heard. clearly.”
Soon, the puddle of blood that soaked the two fathers and sons trembled along the shaking shoulders.
* * *
Extremely trained hounds always follow their master’s commands.
It looks straight at the prey pointed by the owner, shows its teeth, and growls, and finally, at the same time as the leash is released, it rushes out with all its might and bites it.
Until the prey’s breath stops.
Or until the owner’s order to stop hunting and return.
like right now
Wedge liquid!
A flash of light that started from the side with an intense puncture.
But speed is always relative.
The series of processes in which the sword spirit surged up from the white sword body and fell toward the top of the head was swift, befitting the skill of a master master, but it wasn’t for me.
Awesome!
A space that splits in an instant.
With a cutting sound half a beat late, everything within the trajectory the silver-white blade passed by was cut.
The black energy that was extinguished like a candle before the wind.
The sword body that contained that powerful energy.
Finally, even the body of the person who carried out this fleeting attack.
Pooh!
A huge amount of blood fountains gushed out of the neatly separated body, but I didn’t blink an eye at the gruesome sight.
It was the same with other hounds rushing from all sides at this moment.
Snug! Slap!
First, he pierced the chest of the attacker from the front, then crushed the enemy’s face from a blind spot with one blow, and at the same time pulled out the blade and swung it.
“It’s so bad.”
dump.
Three peak masters who collapse at the same time as the dying horse (斷末摩) instead of the will.
No, three corpses.
However, the madness of the battle that covered the bloody snowfield showed no signs of waning.
Shh shh shh!
The Dark Heaven’s disciples do not allow even a momentary void and rush to fill the void.
And looking at those insensitive expressions and eyes that didn’t contain even a handful of emotions, I felt extreme fatigue weighing down my whole body.
‘How many people are there?’
I don’t know.
I had neither the time nor the reason to count the number of enemies who died at my hands.
just fight It just constantly knocks you down.
Those wooden dolls without souls.
Those hounds and moths who are blindly carrying out their mission by following the last command given even though the owner holding their leash has disappeared.
Of course I know too.
This is a one-sided slaughter and slaughter.
But it had to be done.
It’s the only way to end this bloody battle, and it’s the only way to save more allies.
That’s why I had no choice but to hold on with all my might to this thread of consciousness that seemed to be cut off at any moment.
‘come.’
I brainstormed in my heart and rushed toward the enemy.
Exactly, I was trying to rush.
Until that very moment, when you feel the distance in your vision.
“…!”
A red alarm bell rang in my head.
The danger signal that the mental power, which had reached its limit for a long time ago, could not stand it and delivered it.
But by the time I gritted my teeth and opened my eyes wide, everything was already late.
Shuk!
Before I knew it, in my slanted field of vision, before I knew it, dozens of blades were pouring down on my staggered body.
Blurred but slow.
The problem was that unlike his extremely keen eyesight, his brain, which had to give orders and move his body quickly, was as hard as a stone statue.
‘Damn it.’
In a world that has slowed down, I swear inwardly.
They didn’t even have an incompetence comparable to the blood demons, sorcerers, or black demons.
no, it’s not enough
A gap that would have made me laugh out loud if it were me.
Even so, I had an intuition that I would not be able to completely avoid their attacks.
Even in the midst of this, my body is not moving, along with the absurd thoughts that suddenly pass through my mind.
‘Does this level up recover even if a limb is severed?’
But fortunately, there was no situation to worry about the unpleasant first experience that a person like blue wind would like.
The next moment, the tremendous air gap that resonated somewhere blew away all my concerns at once.
Whoa!
It happened literally in the blink of an eye.
Along with the huge shadows that abruptly rose over the shoulders of the enemies rushing toward me, the large and beautiful daechojagon (大梢子棍), like its name, split the space like a thunderbolt.
Quadruped!
If someone asks if I’ve seen the sight of blowing off five heads with a single punch, I’ll nod my head without hesitation.
I can also tell you the name of that top-notch prospect who will bomb the modern major league, which has now become a playground for the awakened.
Of course, that crazy rice cake guy will introduce himself before anyone tells him.
like right now
“Taesan! come! I saw! Hit!”
“Good job! Now, headbutt!”
And starting with Nam-ho sitting on the shoulder of Tae-san, who even cried Caesar Caesar, familiar faces popped out like rays of light.
“Confucius, no benefactor! No footnote!”
Awesome!
A coin that splits the back of the enemy’s head while spewing out three-stage change titles that even Transformers can fold.
“conflict! How dare you guys try to harm the captain! Courage is imaginary, but to do so is the right arm and heart of the leader of this body! It’s me, Hyukmu… oh fuck!”
Kang!
Hyuk Moo-jin hurriedly retreats at the enemy’s counterattack, which is an unexpectedly higher level than expected.
“Doesn’t that fellow know how to fight with his mouth open?”
“You are welcome.”
Pupuk!
Song Il-seom, who cuts down the remaining enemies while saving Hyuk-Mu-Jin… wait, who was that black hairy man?
“Seven kinds of black horses?”
The middle-aged man, a former magician, distorted his already vicious face at the four letters that flowed out of his lips as if out of nowhere.
“It’s not a black horse, it’s a white horse! Majunggeol, the eldest brother of the seven species of white horses! I went through such high school because of someone, but I forgot about it…!”
“Lower your voice. When you speak nicely.”
When I saw the girl who met Joo Hwa-ran’s grim warning, I couldn’t help but laugh.
just nice to see
Knowing that no one was lost.
And…
to be able to see the last person I thought we would part with forever.
“Are you here?”
In response to my sudden question, Sama-pyo, who didn’t know when he appeared, shrugged.
“Is it too late?”
no.
No way.
