Episode 238
– Think of a new swordsmanship? Are you eating ice cream?
Lars tilted his round head as if he didn’t understand.
“I didn’t eat it, I just ate it.”
Raon smiled lightly as he watched Lars roll his eyes.
-What swordsmanship were you thinking of?
“Harmony of Hwangeom and Eumgeom.”
When he fell into selflessness, a new swordsmanship was drawn that harmonized the recently acquired Yin Sword and the steadily accumulated Hwansword.
Right now it’s only in the image, but if you continue to practice, you’ll be able to complete a swordsmanship that only one person in the world can use.
-Harmonize fantasy and sound….
“Your words that you can erase the disadvantages with the strengths were very helpful.”
Raon patted Lars on the head with his mouth raised.
‘Because it’s a really generous las.’
Lars didn’t just hand over his stats and characteristics, he also gave hints to grow through words and actions.
It was no different from a tree that generously gave fruit when it was young, gave timber when it grew up, and became a shelter when it got older.
“thanks.”
– How dare you hit the king’s head on this human subject! this cheeky!
Lars’ face was red like a volcano before it exploded.
-I’ll tell you properly this time! Who is the real king!
Through the mana circuit, the coldness of Ras penetrates like an awl. The rage that clung to his soul like a leech also rose.
Koo Goo Goo!
It felt like my bones were aching from the coolness of the cold, and my whole body was weighed down by the heaviness of anger.
-I will avenge Ice Cream Sand’s enemies!
“The ice cream sand isn’t dead yet.”
-shut up!
Lars, who must have been angry because he couldn’t eat the ice cream, was pressuring his whole body with extreme cold and intense anger.
‘This guy is getting stronger too.’
Although it doesn’t mean much.
Raon smiled lightly and resonated with the ring of fire. The serious momentum that radiated from his heart broke through the rage that weighed down his soul, and the blue-red aura that surged from his dagger pushed back the coldness of Lars that penetrated the mana circuit.
Koo Goo Goo!
Hokhin’s curse disappeared and a huge contest of power took place in the wide mana circuit, but the winner was already decided.
-Damn it!
Even though Lars screamed and released all his strength, he couldn’t overcome the energy of the cartoonist and Glacia.
He lost his place to stand and was gradually pushed back, like a beast whose territory had been taken away.
– Not yet! The main king is the king of the demon realm and the lord of wrath! never give up!
Lars raised his anger again, saying that he would never lose.
‘As expected, it’s helpful.’
Raon smiled. Thanks to Lars’ attack like this, he was even training to operate three rings of fire at the same time as Cartoonist and Glacia.
‘And there…’
[You have withstood the interruption of < Rage >.]
[Stamina stat increases by 1 point.]
[Magic stat increases by 1 point.]
Doesn’t it spread even the stats like this? Lars was a demon king who had nothing to throw away like a generous tree.
-Turn it off!
Lars grabbed his hair and backed off, grinding his teeth.
-I won’t do business with you! One day you will regret it!
The guy left a curse word and slipped into the bracelet.
“I’m going to the ice cream parlor tomorrow. If you’re not going to have a business relationship, you don’t have to go, right?”
At those words, the flower bracelet wriggled greatly. Before even three seconds had passed, Lars’ face appeared on the bracelet.
-Chwi…
“Chwi?”
– I will cancel.
“under!”
Raon let out a laugh. Seeing that the Demon King sells his pride in 3 seconds, it seems that the ice cream sandwiches are delicious.
‘I’ll have to take care of it.’
He was the one who couldn’t keep his promise, and Lars didn’t interfere even though he was able to break his trance.
It was right to take care of this by adding interest.
“Then let’s go tomorrow. Think of what you want to eat from what you saw today.”
-That has already been decided! Starting with the mint chocolate sandwich, you will taste everything!
Lars, whose anger was released in an instant, waved his hand cheerfully.
“okay. Do whatever you feel like.”
-By the way…
“Hmm?”
– You’re not falling into selflessness this time, are you?
“no.”
Since he had already drawn swordsmanship in his head, he would not fall into selflessness for a while. maybe.
-If you say no to eating ice cream, you will fall into no self after pooping later. I’ll be in the bathroom all day!
“That might be fun.”
Raon smiled.
– Heung So, what kind of swordsmanship are you going to make?
Raon looked in the mirror and pulled out the Celestial Sword. He nodded his chin at the sight of the silver blade extending without a sound.
“False swordsmanship.”
– Foot swordsmanship? Doesn’t that already exist?
“It is different from that. It will be a swordsmanship that will surely cut one person.”
Existing foot sword techniques use sound to cause damage to the opponent’s vestibular organ, but this time, it was a foot sword technique that directly cuts the enemy.
-The main king knew that you would at least massacre with the sound of foot swordsmanship.
‘Genocide?’
– Didn’t the old butler also tell you? The advantage of the sound sword is that it can be used on many people.
‘The blade of sound…’
Raon licked his lips and repeated the word ‘blade of sound’. His red eyes began to soften again.
-uh?
Lars looked into those eyes and opened his mouth.
-Isn’t it? Say no!
“If you go deeper than the vestibular organ…”
Raon muttered about swordsmanship without answering Lars.
-hey!
“The nervous system with a black sword…”
-Yay! You son of a bitch!
* * *
One week later.
As soon as Raon finished training in the afternoon, he headed to the corner of the gymnasium. In front of the full-length mirror that had been set up in advance, he repeated only the foot sword and lead sword postures.
– You only pulled out your sword all week and fell asleep.
Lars sighed as he climbed onto his shoulder. As soon as he woke up from his second ego, his anger had subsided to the point of drowsiness thanks to the fact that he had bought him an ice cream to make his stomach burst.
– Aren’t you bored?
‘It can’t be helped.’
Creating a new swordsmanship is like drawing a map. I had to go through numerous roads and find the best route.
The swordsmanship he is making now is a combination of the Eum sword and the Hwan sword that no one has ever tried. It was difficult and had to take a long time.
‘There are two things I have to learn.’
Thanks to Lars’ hint, two sword techniques came to mind. The first is a one-on-one swordsmanship that harmonizes the Yin and Hwanswords to slash enemies at once. The second is a multi-player swordsmanship that subdues or kills multiple enemies at once. I didn’t have enough time to sleep to complete both of these.
‘What’s important is fun’
-Re-fun? Is it fun to draw only a sword in front of a mirror?
‘I can see progress.’
Thanks to practicing foot swordsmanship all week, I was able to freely control the speed, direction and sound of the sword when it was pulled out.
The Phantom Sword is also permeating little by little, so if you continue training, you should be able to use it in real combat sooner or later.
– You’re really crazy about swords.
Lars frowned. He shook his head, saying he was fed up, and entered the bracelet.
match!
Raon laughed and tried to pull out the jecheon sword again when he heard the sound of hand clapping. It was Rimmer, who was lying sprawled on the podium.
‘Why didn’t you go?’
These days, there’s a massacre, so even before the training is over, the disappearing nobleman remains mysteriously. Of course, I was confused as to whether this was the gymnasium or the living room.
“All together.”
The swordsmen were all undergoing individual training, so all members of the Gwangpungdan gathered in front of the podium.
“What are you doing?”
Raon stood in front of the Gwangpungdan member and looked up at the podium.
“The second mission has come down to Gwangpungdan.”
“hmm!”
“mission!”
The sound of the swordsmen’s heated breathing flowed from behind.
Leon looked back. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to seeing the sparkling eyes of all the members, including Burren and Martha. Runaan, of course, was fierce, and Dorian seemed a little frightened.
“Please tell me.”
He nodded to Rimer.
“Does anyone know about the Gazelle River?”
“Gazelle River ….”
It is not famous, but it was the residence of the Qingru tribe and was known to be clear and clean enough to see the inside of the river.
“The Gazelle River is a place attached to the Ravel River that runs through the continent, and is the residence of the sub-species Cheongru.”
As expected, Rimer brought up the story of the Blue Clover.
“This time, the Qingru tribe said they sank a fishing boat and killed people.”
“I’ve heard that the Qinglou tribe never touches people…”
Burren frowned. As he said, the Qinglu tribe never attacked a person first.
It was hard to believe that they were afraid of people and had sunk a ship and killed people.
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, but it’s a fact that Biyeonhoe directly investigated.”
Rimer sluggishly waved his hand. Seeing the sincerity in his voice seemed to surprise him as well.
“At first it was just a threat, but it became more and more aggressive, and three days ago, it destroyed a fishing boat passing through the Gazelle River and drowned the people in it.”
“Ummm…”
“That’s…”
Gwangpungdan prosecutors’ eyes hardened when they said that the fisherman had died.
“Our mission is to find out what caused the Qinglu tribe to become violent and restore them to their original nature. But if that’s not possible, we’ll have to deal with it.”
Rimer let out a plain voice and stood up. He looked down at everyone with cool green eyes.
“The Qinglou tribe is strong. It has physical abilities superior to those of monsters and can use blood magic. In the water, each one is an expert level strongman, so be careful. But there are those who need to be more vigilant.”
He paused for a moment and frowned.
“The North and South Alliance that dominates the Ravel River. Those thieves say they’ve been passing by there lately.”
“I am the North and South Alliance!”
“That’s right. The label river is their domain!”
“Umm Oma’s North-South Alliance…”
The prosecutors groaned at the word North-South Alliance. They were not ordinary thieves, but a huge group that had developed proper martial arts and formed a system, so I had no choice but to be nervous.
“Even if the North-South Alliance is a neutral and communicative organization, it is one of Oma. A battle may break out, so be careful.”
“North-South alliance…”
Raon narrowed his eyes. Speaking of the North-South Alliance, I remembered the young Chaeju Lecter I met during my first mission as a trainee.
‘It must have gotten stronger.’
I became a master at the time, so I wondered what level he would have reached now.
“one more! The village of Doran we are going to this time is outside Sieghart’s realm.”
“Why are we going there?”
Burren tilted his head.
“Because the Yuin Village right behind Doran Village is our territory.”
“Ah….”
“We have to stop the problem before it spreads to Yuin Village, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to expand the area to Doran Village.”
Instead of Limer, Dohee came forward.
“It will be your first time fighting on a river, but thanks to the recent training, you should be able to move on a boat as well.”
“So that kind of training…”
Raon nodded. I thought it was strange that Do-Hae gave me balance training for a week, but I think it was because of this mission.
“Each of you, pack your necessary items and gather here until dawn tomorrow.”
Rimer waved his hand saying he had said everything and left the gymnasium.
“hmm.”
Raon turned around and scanned the eyes of the members of the Gwangpungdan in turn. Some were full of anticipation, some were nervous, and some were a little frightened.
“Whether it’s the Qingru Tribe or the North and South Alliance, battles on the water will be unavoidable. Think about how to prepare for any situation and prepare firmly.”
“yes!”
The members of the Gwangpung Troupe nodded and left the gym one by one.
“Then me too.”
“wait a minute.”
When Do-goe was about to leave the gymnasium, he was blocked.
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
“The protection of the annex?
He had a calm look in his eyes as if he knew everything.
“Did you know?”
“I investigated everything you have been doing. Inside and outside, only very few enemies were made.”
Do-goe sneered as if it was absurd.
“I can see why you made me the general manager of the annex.”
“Well that’s…”
“Don’t worry. I keep my word once spoken.”
As Raon tried to explain, Dohae turned away.
“Come back with some good news. If I don’t like it, I’ll leave right away.”
He raised his hand as he walked to the gymnasium exit.
“thank you.”
Raon looked at the trustworthy back of Dohae and then lowered his head.
* * *
A week has passed since we set out for the Gazelle River.
There was nothing special about the itinerary, except for the fact that monsters who were hungry throughout the winter came to visit once or twice a day because they rode mountain roads, not the roads they normally used.
Raon drew two swordsmanships in his mind the whole time he was moving.
Indulging in imagery, he sharpened and polished the Yin Sword and the Hwan Sword, and devoted himself to creating a completely new swordsmanship by harmonizing the two.
Because I was so focused, when I came to my senses, the day went down and the sun rose again.
“hmm?”
Raon looked at the darkened sky and narrowed his eyes. As I drew swordsmanship in my head, it was already evening.
“Today we rest here!”
I stopped talking in an open space on all sides. Because Rimer was sleeping limply on his horse, he had to act as a substitute for Danju even though he was training.
“Let’s prepare for camp in groups!”
“yes!”
At Raon’s instruction, the members of the Gwangpungdan got off their horses at the same time. Led by the leaders who had learned from the Cheongeomdae swordsmen, they quickly set up a tent and lit a fire.
“Ah, is it night already?”
Rimmer, who had been sleeping soundly even on a galloping horse, approached with a yawn.
“The day goes so fast.”
“It’s because you’ve been thinking about swordsmanship all day long. Aren’t you tired?
He shook his head, making a sound similar to Lars.
“It’s kind of fun.”
“Because he’s a heavenly prosecutor.”
Rimer smiled and turned his gaze to the forest on the right.
“There are so many annoying things in this direction.”
“I see.”
Raon nodded and struck the swordsman. Soon after, red eyes flashed in the darkness of the forest.
“Krurruk!”
“Krrrr.”
The cries of the monsters and the smell of blood came riding the wind.
“This time, however, they seem to be worthy of dealing with.”
Rimer whistled and turned his head backwards.
“Whose turn is it?”
“This is our third group.”
Burren, who had just finished setting up the tent, raised his hand.
“Then you…”
“No. There is something I want to try, so I will do it.”
Raon shook his head and approached the forest. I put my hand on the blade of the Jecheon Sword and looked at the forest.
The red eyes that have finished searching reveal themselves under the moonlight. It was a huge group of ice trolls, covered from head to toe in silvery fur.
‘Eight ice trolls.’
It’s okay.
It was the perfect number and level to try out the second sword.
“Kurrrrr!”
“Keuouh!”
The ice troll showed its yellow teeth and rushed towards Raon. Because it was on snow, it was as fast as a trained swordsman.
“Everyone close your ears.”
Raon sounded a warning and slightly lowered his stance. With calm eyes, he loosely gripped the blade of the Jecheon Sword. The moment the Ice Troll entered within ten paces, he pulled out his Celestial Sword.
Chiyiing!
A different sound than before. A creepy yet elegant sword like a demon playing a violin soaked the air.
“Kreuk…”
“Kreuk…”
As soon as the ice trolls heard the cry of the sword, they rolled their eyes and rolled over to Raon’s feet.
desperate.
The trolls’ eyes, which had shown madness a moment ago, were draining of life. The line of life was split in one stroke of the blade sword technique.
“Huh…”
Rimer sighed as he looked at the ice trolls who had their breath cut off as if their throats had been cut with a sword.
‘What…’
I knew that Raon was stimulating my auditory organs with his sword, but I didn’t know that he would cut off my nerves at all. I couldn’t close my gaping mouth.
“Ugh!”
“The sound just now…”
“It’s great…”
However, it seems that it had an effect on the Gwangpungdan in the back because it was not a perfect sword. Most of them held their ears and knelt down. After a while, they came to their senses and their jaws trembled when they saw the fallen Ice Troll.
“Crazy…”
“Wow!”
“That person is really…”
Burren was startled, Runan revealed his surprise, and Martha bit her lip.
“Huh!”
“Did you kill the monster with the sound of a cow?”
“It’s not just a sound. It’s a sword name.”
“What kind of crazy swordsmanship…”
“Is this the swordsmanship you practiced at the gymnasium?”
The members of the Gwangpungdan also swallowed dry saliva when they saw the sword name they had just heard about and the fallen ice troll. It was as if he had seen a scene that shouldn’t exist in the world.
“It’s still not enough.”
Rimer stepped aside and licked his lips.
“yes. It’s hard to cover the enemy, and it’s not easy to control the power.”
“Because there is a big difference between the original image and reality.”
“you’re right.”
Raon nodded and let out a sigh. As Rimmer said, there was a big difference between what he drew in his head and what he actually used.
“By the way, wasn’t it different that you practiced at the gymnasium?”
“I thought you were sleeping, but were you watching?”
“Because I keep my eyes open even when I sleep.”
“Hmm, there are two types of swordsmanship that I am currently researching. The first one is for one-on-one use, and this one is for dealing with multiple people…”
Raon lightly explained the two swordsmanships.
“Hmm…”
Rimmer scratched his chin and nodded.
“Then write that first one on me.”
He smiled and stepped aside.
“I will perfect your swordsmanship.”
