Episode 564:
The battle between the Gwangpungdae and the Holy Sword Demons stopped as if they had been doused with cold water.
“Big Cloud!”
“That doesn’t make sense…”
“Cloud is dead?”
The sword demons trembled their chins as if they could not believe that Cloud, a disciple of the Holy Sword Master, was defeated by the injured Raon.
“under! “That crazy guy is real!”
Martha let out a laugh as if it was absurd.
‘You wrote down the Realm of the Sword and captured the Grand Master again?’
I couldn’t think of any other words other than crazy. The man named Raon Sieghardt was an incomprehensible being, whether seen up close or from afar.
“I didn’t know that one would finish first.”
Buren looked back at Raon and raised his fist.
‘You really did a great job.’
The most dangerous person on this battlefield right now was Raon.
I thought it would be difficult to win because he used Sword World Manifestation and consumed most of his aurors and was even injured, but he completely erased all doubts and decapitated Cloud.
It was a waste of time worrying about Raon.
“Sir!”
“I believed it!”
“Please leave the remaining sword demons to us!”
Dorian and the Gwangpungdae swordsmen also waved their hands with excited smiles at Raon.
However, Runan’s purple eyes were not directed at Raon, but at the Holy Sword Demons.
Sigh!
The cold that filled the folk tale tore through the Sword Demon’s chest and pierced his heart.
“Whoops…”
The Sword Demon lost his breath and fell down with his cut wound frozen.
“It’s not time to rest yet.”
Runaan gave a brief nod to the Thunderstorm and then immediately moved to find the next opponent. It’s not that she doesn’t care about Raon, but it’s an action she can show because she completely trusts him.
“Is Runaan saying everything right?”
“That’s why you’re so angry!”
Burren and Marta also sensed that the flow of the battlefield had shifted towards the Gwangpungdae and cut down the sword demons without sparing their Aurors.
“Whoa.”
Rimmer swept his sweaty hair and smiled.
“I guess we won the battle of divinity.”
He chuckled as he looked back and forth between Cloud’s decapitated body and Raon standing proudly.
“Hmm…”
Yonghyeon Sword Master also frowned as if he didn’t expect Cloud to lose.
“I must be very upset because my master’s disciple has passed away. Are you going to get scolded when you go back? no.”
Rimmer spit out the magic energy in his lungs and cut his throat with his fingers.
“It doesn’t matter since you’re going to die here anyway.”
“okay. Does not matter.”
Yonghyeongeomju regained his composure in the time it took to take a breath and shook his head.
“Because Raon Sieghart left the battlefield anyway.”
He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Raon coughing up black blood.
“If I kill you here and take Raon Sieghart, Master Ryeon won’t say anything.”
“You’re taking Raon with you?”
Rimmer furrowed his brows, wondering what that meant.
“Ryeonju wants that talent. “It will help him go higher.”
Yonghyeon Swordmaster coldly spoke as if he was going to use Raon as a test subject.
“What a bountiful harvest.”
Rimmer brought an eerie wind over the blade.
‘As expected, you haven’t given up on targeting Raon.’
The Holy Sword Runner was also targeting Raon in Barene, the city of the Holy Spirit. I guess it wasn’t just curiosity.
‘I need to finish this as quickly as possible.’
I felt a little sick in my stomach as I tried to prevent the magical energy generated by the demon sword Creatus from reaching Gwangpungdae and Raon.
Raon, who I was most worried about, also made a decision, so it was right to see the match quickly.
“The Sword Realm Appearance.”
Rimmer raised his sword toward the stormy sky.
“Song of Wind and Thunder.”
A ferocious voice, like the growl of an animal, spread from high in the sky to the ends of the earth.
Coo coo coo coo!
The heavens and earth were shaking, causing endless storms and thunderstorms. Rimmer’s blue eyes flashed in the sword’s barrier where the mana itself was being cut away.
A magnificent energy wave stretched out as if it had returned to its heyday when it was called a light sword.
“okay. “If it’s not that bad, there’s no fun in killing it.”
The Yonghyeon Swordmaster calmly nodded and aimed his magic sword Creatus at Rimmer.
Pudddeuk!
The red eyes of the magic sword soared above the shaking blade. The son-in-law was enveloped by a terrifying demonic energy that surged from his vein-lined eyes. The space was distorted vertically by the turbulent waves of demon energy.
“Let’s begin the second round.”
* * *
Raon wiped away the black blood that had soaked his lips. I suppressed the urge to pass out immediately from the pain caused by my internal injuries and demonic energy and looked at the battlefield.
‘The great lord has opened the realm of swords.’
Rimmer erased his worries about this and was fighting against the Yonghyeon Sword Master with all his might.
Although both were engaged in a close battle where they were not pushed back even an inch, it seemed that Yonghyeon Sword Master, who used the power of the magic sword, had the upper hand.
‘I guess it can’t be helped. Because he was protecting Gwangpungdae and me.’
The demonic sword Creatus is a terrible demonic sword that spreads demonic energy not only to the opponent but to the entire space.
When Rimmer was dealing with the Yonghyeon Sword Master, he had spread his auror’s shield to prevent the magic energy from reaching the Gwangpungdae, so he was at a disadvantage from the beginning.
-I thought I would be consumed by anger and only look at my enemies. That guy also does it when he does it.
Ras also seemed surprised by Rimmer’s judgment and praised him for the first time.
‘I know.’
Raon bit his lip and nodded.
‘Damn it…’
I want to help Rimmer, but the moment I touch that wave of mana, I will turn to dust. It helps to stay still now.
‘Then this way…’
I saw the Gwangpungdae fighting behind Rimmer and the Yonghyeongeomju. Although the number of sword demons of the Seonggeomryeon was large, the power of the Gwangpungdae was slightly stronger.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was a whistle, but thanks to Runaan and Mark Goeton breaking the balance, it seemed like they could win in the end.
‘But if the great lord loses, it’s all over.’
Even if the Gwangpungdae captures the sword demons, if Limer loses to the Yonghyeon Swordmaster, the situation itself will be over.
Since Rimmer was still fighting while protecting the Gwangpungdae, it seemed unlikely that he would be able to defeat the Yonghyeon Sword Master.
‘The death of Dongguijin or Great Lord will be the end of this fight.’
There are two choices I can make now.
The first is to leave this place to Rimmer and retreat with the Gwangpungdae. Limer also can’t fight properly because of the Frenzy Corps, so it’s not a bad thing for both sides.
However, there may be other Seonggeomryeon Sword Demons around here, and since I cannot help, there is a high possibility that I will end up in a dangerous situation.
The second and final way is for me to jump over the wall here.
While fighting Cloud, I gained a hint of enlightenment. If I could catch the vague group tickling my brain, it wouldn’t be impossible to overcome the Grand Master’s barrier here and now.
It was also a good opportunity for me because that realization may disappear as time passes.
However, with my physical condition close to the worst and the enemy in front of me, I couldn’t easily decide on the second option.
‘As expected, that’s all.’
After a short period of agony, Raon raised his thin aura. Burren and Marta Runan sent an Auror message to Mark Goeton at the same time.
[Listen, don’t look here.]
At those words, the commanders and Mark Goeten briefly shook their heads and continued swinging their swords.
[From now on, I will jump over walls.]
At those words, the trembling of the leader and Mark Goeten intensified.
[You crazy guy! What is that all of a sudden?!]
Marta couldn’t hold back and screamed in an Auror message.
[Huh!]
Buren also blurted out something as if he was dumbfounded.
[At least hide somewhere else!]
[If I move, Yonghyeongeomju or others might come after me. It’s best to pretend to be a bad person and rest and sort out your enlightenment.]
Yonghyeongeomju is not a fool. They would follow me if I moved, so the best thing to do was just hang on here and do nothing.
[Yes.]
Runaan answered firmly, as if she just believed him, and pushed the other person away.
[Don’t worry. I will protect you even if it means risking my life.]
Mark Goeton also nodded with a voice filled with trust.
Raon looked at Rimmer’s back for the last time and took out the subspace pouch.
I took out a sea lily leaf and the two elixirs I received from Glenn. I wrapped the red herb medicine with heat and the green herb medicine with coldness in the leaves of Haeryunghwa and put them into my mouth.
Hwaaaaa!
Perhaps because they were all top-quality elixirs, as soon as they touched the tongue, the elixirs turned into liquid and passed down the throat.
My heart was so hot that it felt like it was going to burst, and my whole body was so cold that it felt like it was freezing at the same time.
Because I was in the worst condition, the pain was severe, but the pain subsided quickly, possibly due to the effect of the Haeryeonghwa leaves.
‘Whoa…’
You have to take it slow.
If it becomes known that you are trying to break the wall now, the Yonghyeon Sword Master and the Sword Demons will rush in like crazy. I had to organize my enlightenment while pretending to lightly practice.
Raon stood and closed his eyes. Using the ring of fire, the energy of the elixir filling the mana circuit spread throughout the body.
Coo coo coo coo!
The energy of the elixir running through the mana circuit gathered in the middle of the fight and exploded like a volcano.
The demonic energy that was consuming my body was pushed out by the strong yet pure energy and I was thrown into a corner.
The heated energy of the middle battle slowly rose through the mana circuit and reached the upper stage.
The heat and cold that touched the top spread like firecrackers, and the vague insight I had gained while catching Cloud flashed clearly.
The world of imagery opens up.
The feeling that I had developed to feel the reaction of the outside subsided by itself, and a world in which I could only contemplate myself unfolded.
‘This is better.’
In any case, once you have started practicing, external reactions are bound to be delayed. It was better to fall into a trance and climb over the wall as quickly as possible.
‘A lot has changed.’
The world of imagery has become wider than before, but the shape of a sword tomb with numerous swords stuck in the ground has not changed.
As I was looking at the divine sword and the demonic sword floating in the air, someone’s hand grabbed the sword stuck in the ground. ‘That’s
me
…’
I imagined myself as a child wearing training uniform, pulled out the training sword embedded in the world, and began to perform basic sword techniques.
This time, I, who had grown a little taller, held a different training sword and performed soft sword techniques.
Raon wields the Gwanga Sword, Raon shows off the swordsmanship of a cartoonist, and even Raon casts a Sieghart-style sword technique he made himself.
A number of Raons appeared equal to the number of swords and performed swordsmanship.
‘No, that’s not all.’
Not only the swordsmanship I used but also the swordsmanship of others I had fought with were being reenacted in the world of images.
Looking at this, I remembered a conversation I had with Sword Demon Glenn before.
[What is a sword? A sword is just a sword. It’s not something to think about in a complicated way.]
[What the matriarch said is correct. The more complicated it is, the more difficult it becomes. There is no need to think of it as a special sword.]
[However, in order to advance further, you must learn swordsmanship and have appropriate meaning when using it. It means you have to pay attention.]
[Don’t be frowned upon. It’s not that difficult. The answer is always within you.]
The two people gave similar answers as if they had mastered the same martial arts.
answer.
In order to find the answer I couldn’t find at the time, I looked at other sword techniques I wielded.
Each and every one of them is strong, powerful, and splendid swordsmanship. It seemed like there was nothing he couldn’t cut as his skills were well absorbed.
However, as I continued to watch, there was one strange thing. Except for basic swordsmanship, all swordsmanship was practiced separately.
I couldn’t feel the swords touching or connecting with each other, as if the chain had fallen off and couldn’t do its job.
‘Could it be because you have learned too many sword techniques? No, that’s not it.’
It doesn’t matter if you’ve learned a lot of swordsmanship. The problem was that the number of swordsmanship techniques was increased without a clear intention.
I didn’t notice it when the sword was sheathed, but when the sword was drawn and I started practicing swordsmanship, I saw a problem.
Even though he achieved a lot of enlightenment and had enough Aurors, the reason he could not become a Grand Master was because the world was not organized.
‘There…’
Because I still haven’t been able to put my proper intention into swordsmanship.
Without thinking about what I wanted to achieve or what I wanted, I just fought based on my reactions in the moment.
In other words, the person I am now has not changed much from the young Raon who wielded basic sword skills.
“Whoa.”
Raon slowly raised his gaze.
The dark fog clears and seven red rings are revealed. Is it because of the trembling of the heart? The ring of fire also seemed twisted.
‘My starting point.’
In order to sort out this realization, it was time to return to the Ring of Fire, my beginning and origin, and complete the eighth ring.
‘Then first erase the demon energy…’
No, there is no need to erase it.
As my head became clearer, a new thought came to mind.
‘I don’t have demon powers, but I have the powers of the demon king, which is a higher concept than that.’
Raon looked up at the seven rings floating in the air and chewed his molars.
‘Let’s do it.’
* * *
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The light sword of wind and lightning in Rimer’s hand and the magic light sword in the hands of the Yonghyeon Sword Master collided, sending out endless beams of light like meteors.
In a wave of mana that shook the heavens and earth, Limer split the space.
The tip of the sword rotated counterclockwise, releasing countless thunderstorms. The appearance was elegant and explosive, as if it had regained the name of the lightsaber in its prime.
Wooooow!
The Yonghyeon Swordmaster placed the demon sword Creatus diagonally. The magical energy that condensed to the limit and twisted the sky spread out without hesitation.
The brilliant light and the dim light intertwined, creating an enormous shock. The earth shook, shaking as if the entire Rakion family would collapse.
Rimmer whirled his body in the air and rushed to the left side of the Dragon Sword Master. He raised the blade imbued with the wind and aimed at the Yonghyeongeomju’s neck.
However, the Yonghyeon Swordmaster had already predicted Limer’s movements and placed the Demon Sword Creatus diagonally to create a Demonic Shield.
Hahaha!
The strong waves of the wind and thunder light sword gnawed at the magic light sword, but were unable to pierce it in the end. In terms of power itself, Yonghyeon Swordmaster was still superior.
Wooooow!
When the Yonghyeon Sword Master stretched out the demonic sword Criatus, nine branches of magical energy surged from the circular tip of the sword. The demonic energy was bent like a whip and struck the surrounding area mercilessly.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The land hit by demonic energy turns black as if poisoned by poison. It was a deadly attack that took one’s breath away with just one hit.
Rimmer retreated to the right with the wind swirling around his entire body. In order not to waste energy, I gave up counterattacking and focused on dodging.
However, as if the Yonghyeon Sword Master did not want to give him a chance to choose, he flew in at a speed higher than that of Rimer and struck Creatus.
“Ugh!”
Rimmer frowned as the magic blade wrapped around him like a cage.
‘You’re annoying!’
He bit his lip and advanced towards the narrowing magic blade.
Sigh!
The thunderous light sword split the two demonic energies, but the remaining seven blades twisted like a whirlwind and rushed towards the heart.
Rimmer rushed towards the dragon sword master’s magic sword, which seemed to control the darkness, and lashed out a blade made up of wind and brain energy.
Coo coo coo coo!
A red and blue glow came from Rimmer’s lightsaber, but the darkness of the demon sword Creatus did not seem to break.
“Silent blood.”
Yonghyeon Sword Master tilted his magic sword Creatus to the left. The blade, which was at the level of a long sword, soared endlessly, forming a great sword that could be lifted by the height of the sky. The blade, shining with dark red light, fell as if it were cutting into the world.
Rimer felt the space in the sword world narrowing and raised his lightsaber. The light from the blade spread forward, creating a magnificent storm of light.
Wow!
A huge pit with no end in sight was dug in the ground, and Rimmer and the Yonghyeongeomju were pushed back, dragging their feet.
Hehe.
Rimmer frowned, spitting out the black blood that had accumulated in his mouth.
‘It must be difficult…’
The Demon Sword Creatus spread more and more intense magical energy as if there were no limits. I felt sick to my stomach, and my fingertips were shaking.
Since the Yonghyeon Sword Master did not consume much of his aura by relying on the magic sword, the situation became increasingly more disadvantageous.
‘Should I at least send my children?’
When he was wondering whether he should perform the Donggui portrait after saving Gwangpungdae, Yonghyeongeomju laughed.
“You seem to have a lot on your mind.”
The guy raised his chin as he cut through the ground with his magic sword Creatus.
“Are you planning to make your men run away? Well, it’s a reasonable decision since you can’t defeat me during the sword realm manifestation time, the fight with the Gwangpungdae is not over, and you can’t expect help from Raon Sieghart. But even that worry is meaningless.”
He gestured left and right.
“This place is already surrounded. Your choice is to die here together. “You die here and others die outside.”
Yonghyeongeomju smiled as if he was confident in the siege itself.
“I said You are not the kind of person who can save others. “I can’t even save myself anymore.”
“You bastard…”
A chilling current filled Rimmer’s eyes. Red-hot anger filled the space where reason had melted away.
“This is your last time… huh?”
Yonghyeon Sword Master, who was speaking, kept his mouth shut. His eyes trembled slightly.
“What…”
Rimmer followed his gaze and turned around.
Raon, who was staggering as if he would fall, was slowly rising into the air.
‘No way, that guy…’
Was he trying to break the wall here?
What Raon is seeing now seems to be a phenomenon that appears just before breaking the wall.
‘What kind of guy’s liver is that big!’
Trying to destroy a wall in the middle of a battlefield was something even the greatest madman on the continent would not do.
“Crazy…”
Yonghyeongeomju also gritted his teeth as if he felt it.
“catch! “Take that guy down now!”
On the contrary, Rimer motioned to the Gwangpungdae.
“Stop it! Do whatever you have to do to stop it!”
