< Episode 35: The Demon Sword (2) >
Mok Gyeong-un’s hand is pointing towards a wooden box with an amulet attached to it.
[That sword brings human desires to the surface.]
[What does it mean to bring desire to the surface?]
[It is literally. It makes you unable to control your desires. Aren’t you curious? What is the true desire of that child who converted to this circuit?]
Mok Gyeong-un’s true desire.
Because desire is a deep wish it was like a real intention.
Son Yun the King of Myeongdo was also curious about that.
Although he declared his conversion he did not believe that this would really happen.
He most likely did it to avoid the current situation.
So what is his real purpose?
-Quick!
The lid of the wooden box with the amulet attached to it was opened in Mok Gyeong-un’s hand.
When the lid is opened the appearance of an evil sword wrapped in a leather sheath is revealed.
The moment Son Yun tried to take a closer look at it something strange that stimulated his five senses caused skin to grow on his arms.
-Shudder!
‘what?’
I feel like there’s something I can’t explain.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this stimulates the five senses or even the sixth sense rather than being felt through the energy senses.
That subtle ominous feeling you might feel when walking alone at night.
It seems as if it has been maximized.
‘Is this a magic sword?’
It is clearly different from those called famous swords or famous swords.
I didn’t feel anything unpleasant about them in the first place but they stimulated my senses even though they were surrounded by leather.
‘Hoo.’
A strange look appeared in the eyes of the female servant who was looking at Mok Gyeong-un’s reaction more carefully than the contents inside.
He had already seen that.
Therefore I knew that most people were struck by a strange feeling the moment they first saw that sword.
However Mok Gyeong-un’s reaction was different from what was expected.
“Hmm.”
Mo Gyeong-un was fine.
Rather he was looking at the sword in its sheath with interest.
A strange ominous feeling that is difficult to explain in words is flowing from that magic sword but it is not normal to see such a reaction.
-How do you feel?
Cheongryeong asked Mo Gyeong-un.
Because she was sealed in a wooden doll it was difficult to distinguish her external energy.
Mokgyeongun’s eyes narrowed at her question.
-Something…is different.
-It’s different?
This energy that Mok Gyeong-un was looking at was similar to the ghostly energy of the imamangryangs but it also resembled the sinister spirit of the vengeful spirits.
It was a complex energy that I had never felt before.
Mok Kyung-un twitched his lips as if he was interested.
-I think you will know when you touch it yourself.
This ominous energy emanating from the sword was tempting me.
Take off his scabbard and grab the handle of your own.
‘If you want it you have to do it right?’
Mok Gyeong-un held the scabbard and raised the evil sword.
And he grabbed the sword with his right hand.
he with him
-Wow!
The sword was freed from its leather sheath.
“Oooh.”
“Is that an evil sword?”
“ah! “It is truly a treasured sword.”
Exclamations came from everywhere.
A unique pattern was drawn on the body of the sword along with a small groove in the center close to the blade making it look like a work of art.
Half of the sword body was black and half was white and even that gave off an old-fashioned and beautiful atmosphere.
-Gulp!
Son Yun who saw this up close swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
The moment he saw the sword greed arose deep within his heart without him knowing.
Even though it was not an inspection.
However in that moment Son Yun raised his true spirit and came to his senses.
‘Yogum… I’m sure it’s a yogum.’
He has no interest in swords and the moment he sees one he becomes greedy.
It was truly a strange thing.
If you become possessed by that a big disaster will happen.
Son Yun looked around.
‘this…’
As expected something I was worried about happened.
Some of the people brought by the officials including several warriors from Sihyeolgok were walking with blank eyes as if they were possessed by something.
Son Yun who judged this scene to be dangerous carried Jinki and lashed out.
“conflict!”
-conflict! conflict! conflict! conflict! conflict!
At the same time Son Yun’s cry spread like an echo in all directions.
The powerful cry containing this true spirit was none other than the roar of a lion.
As Son Yun’s Lion’s Roar resonated throughout the square people who were caught up in desire as if they were possessed by something for a moment covered their ears.
“Ugh!”
“Ears ears?”
They were not the only ones who regained their senses after being distracted by the harsh shouting.
‘ah?’
‘What is this?’
The two masters also half-raised themselves from their chairs for a moment without realizing it and then regained their composure by crying with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
It was the moment when I directly experienced the power of the magic sword that I had only heard about.
Still the reason it ended at this level was because they did not directly hold it in their hands.
‘Tree tillage?’
Sun Yun looked at Mo Qingyun with worried eyes.
However contrary to his fears Mok Kyung-un was looking at the sword with calm eyes.
what?
There was no greed in those eyes at all.
King Amjong also looked at this and wondered.
‘Hmm. ‘What is it?’
He had already seen his subordinates possessed by his desire while holding that sword several times.
Didn’t he also reveal his hidden desire the moment he held it?
[How could cancer be like that…..]
[Ahh…did I say that?]
I still can’t forget the expression on my dead adjutant’s face.
It was truly a pity.
That magic sword was truly a dangerous sword.
Amjongju received what he had longed for but he gave up his desire to collect it.
That was an uncontrollable monster.
‘…There’s no way I wouldn’t have desire.’
Even though he prided himself on having a strong mental power the desire he had been hiding was revealed through that monster.
However no matter how talented he was there was no way that Mok Gyeong-un who was just a kid could withstand the power of that monster.
It was right then.
-Park!
At that moment Mok Kyung-un’s eyes closed and his head tilted back.
Upon seeing this Amjongju muttered with his eyes sparkling.
“also.”
There was no way I wouldn’t be captured by the magic sword.
-Rebirth? Rebirth?
Cheongryeong called out to Mok Gyeong-un who suddenly lost consciousness.
I don’t know what’s going on here.
The guy who said it was some kind of unique energy and wanted to absorb it in a conscious way suddenly lost consciousness.
What on earth is going on?
* * *
Jeong ran.
After running for a while I reached the top of the mountain.
‘!?’
Jeong frowned.
There was black smoke there.
The place where the smoke was rising was where the house was.
Seeing this Jeong threw the bag and ran towards it like crazy.
Soon he arrived there.
-Rarrrrrrrrrr!
A sweltering heat was felt.
The house was burning brightly.
Jeong’s face became scary and hard.
Jeong urgently looked around and ran to the back of the burning house.
There was a small vegetable garden in the back garden.
His grandfather usually woke up early in the morning and picked herbs in the garden.
‘Please….please….’
Jeong ran to the garden and stopped.
His eyes widened to the point of bursting and I saw something stained with blood.
Things that should be in the body are spread out in the garden.
-Wow!
Jeong gritted his teeth.
And he followed the trail of blood and fragments.
Jeong looked down the hill and shouted.
“grandfather!”
His grandfather was there.
The sight of the grandfather with his lower body torn off and only his upper body intact was truly terrifying.
Jeong’s face looking at this became distorted like a demon with sadness.
The feeling of death that had been pressing deep within his heart filled his mind.
-no.
At that moment everything stopped.
-Murdering for revenge… This is not your fundamental desire.
Something scanning his memories shook his head.
Revenge could have been a desire but it was not a desire that this person fundamentally possessed.
-Show the true desire you have.
It wanted to see desire as close to its purest source as possible.
That desire was the reason it was born.
-It’s truly unique. Who blocked the source of your desires?
It delved into the depths of the image and discovered a huge wall covering all directions.
The moment I saw this barrier I couldn’t hide my curiosity.
Strong mental power was sometimes projected as a barrier in this way.
However this was not created by the will of this person called Mok Gyeong-un or Jeong but it seemed as if someone had planted it.
-You’re putting up a wall like grief in other people’s hearts. It’s truly bizarre.
An artificially created barrier.
Here stronger emotions are felt than the sadness and revenge seen earlier.
This was blocking the source of this Jeong thing.
However once this seemingly impenetrable wall of grief is broken the source of accumulated desires will pour out.
-I’ll open this for you.
A wall of grief that never seems to open.
However it had the ability to open even this.
There was no need to break down the barrier.
If we change the nature of the barrier so that it flows out naturally
-Sureuk!
The wall is meant to be a road.
It was that moment.
-Paaaaaaaaa!
Something started pouring out of some of the barriers that had become roads.
that
-dark?
It was deep darkness.
It was hard to even see it as a piece of desire.
-What is this?
How can such deep darkness lurk within humans?
It began to feel joy upon seeing this.
He thought it was something close to the pure desire he had been searching for.
It left the spirit body in the pouring darkness.
If this is absorbed and becomes one an individual of human and sword unity made up of only the highly desired desires will be born.
-Come on let’s become one with me.
It tried to assimilate into this darkness.
however
-!?
At that moment it became clear that this darkness was not simple.
-This…
It was not pure darkness.
This was so cloudy that it was dizzying.
This turbidity seems to be trying to destroy everything…
* * *
-Sigh!
Mok Kyung-un who was tilting his head back slowly lifted it.
Son Yun the King of Myeongdo looked closely at this practice of wood cultivation.
It seems clear that he is possessed by the magic sword but it is not clear what kind of desire he has…
‘!?’
Two eyes like black jade.
It was like an endless abyss.
‘…What about your eyes?’
Does that mean that desire is expressed?
Something was strange.
At that time one of the great masters Bohyeokso the great master of Yeomma shouted at Mok Gyeong-un.
“this guy! “Come to your senses!”
Looking at Mo Gyeong-un’s state it certainly seemed like he was possessed by the magic sword.
Bo Hyeok-so who felt that he must be awakened immediately hurriedly tried to take the magic sword from Mok Gyeong-un’s hand.
at that very moment
-Wow!
Bohyukso grabbed his neck.
Then he opened his eyes wide and broke into a cold sweat like a very nervous person.
‘!?’
Why are you doing this?
Bohyukso’s eyes were trembling like crazy.
The moment Son Yun King of Myeongdo saw this met Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes wondering what was going on.
‘Huh?’
As if time had passed quickly for a moment the sky turned red and then dark and the floor in all directions was stained with sticky blood.
It must be the same place.
However everyone around them was screaming in pain as their throats were cut or parts of their bodies were torn to pieces.
All living beings in this square were either suffering a terrible death or suffering about it.
‘What the hell is this…’
What is going on?
I am caught in doubt and look around.
-Rarrrrrrrrrr!
The bodies of those who were dead or dying began to burn all at once.
The flame which was red and scarlet soon turned blue then gradually became darker from purple and eventually turned into a black flame.
-Rarrrrrr!
This black flame became a fire demon at an incredible speed and tried to encroach on all directions.
Surprised by this Myeongdo King Son Yun tried to avoid it by throwing himself backwards.
however
‘It’s not moving.’
The body stopped moving as if someone had grabbed it.
I couldn’t figure out what this meant.
-Rarrrrrr!
The black flames encroaching everywhere suddenly grew so large that they threatened to engulf him.
Son Yun was not very afraid of death but it was so scary that he closed his eyes for a moment without realizing it.
For a moment there was silence and nothing could be heard.
Then
-sudden!
Soon the surroundings became brighter and King Son Yun opened his closed eyes.
however
‘no?’
Before I knew it the square that had been consumed by black flames had returned to its original state and I could see the Yeomma Danju Reform Center drenched in cold sweat and breathing heavily.
But it wasn’t just that.
The female leader was also looking around with startled eyes as if he was in some kind of shock.
It was as if he too had seen something.
I’m doing that
-Together!
A strange resonant sound that resonated in my ears came from somewhere.
‘What is this sound?’
The epicenter was none other than the evil sword.
The sword body of the evil sword was trembling wildly and this resonant sound seemed to come from the groove dug in the middle.
It looked as if the sword was suffering.
* * *
-It doesn’t make sense….this is…..chaos….
That was it.
It was swept away by chaos-like darkness and trembled with fear.
I tried to become one with this source and become one with it but it felt like I was being eaten by it.
I’m doing that
-Ssssshhhh!
The darkness that had been flooding in for a moment turned back as if time had gone backwards and Mok Gyeong-un or rather Jeong sat with his chin resting in front of the wall of sorrow that had been opened.
-!!!!!
When it saw that it became even more crazy.
Fear fear.
These emotions were a by-product of human beings who had never felt them before.
But what on earth does that mean?
Jeong flicked his index finger at that then clicked his tongue and said.
“Not yet.”
– Perfect!
With those words he lightly snapped his fingers.
Then as if the will of the evil sword that had penetrated into my mind was disappearing it disappeared in this space.
-Passsssss!
* * *
Eventually Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes which had been dyed as black as jade returned to their original state.
As if I had never done that before.
Mok Gyeong-un who came to his senses frowned and then looked at his surroundings.
‘huh?’
However King Myeongdo King Son Yun King Amjongju and other executives were looking at him with serious expressions on their faces.
