Gwangpungdan’s Danju room, where soft moonlight passes through the dusty bars.
Rimer stood up with a rustling sound in the head instructor’s lounge, where the ticket had not yet been removed.
He stirred as if he had just woken up.
“Whoa… .”
Rimmer took off his blackened coat and sighed.
“But I didn’t die and I survived this far.”
I don’t remember how I got to the sobriety room. It was as if she had been struck by Glenn’s lightning and had come to a most familiar place, half out of her senses.
‘I was in a lot of pain today.’
Naturally, Glenn never uses blows that would fatally wound him or leave behind any aftereffects. I literally only use lightning bolts that cause pain, but today’s one was something different.
The inaction of striking down faster than the sword realm could be activated and tearing up the sword realm itself made it seem like he had crossed over a wall once again.
‘I heard it’s amazing.’
A man named Glenn was truly a mystery in itself, as he was already at a level that transcended human beings and still had places to go.
If Glenn, who had overcome Demon, had not listened to the words of those neutrals and had had a strong mind, a third of the continent might have already been under Sieghardt.
‘I’ll have to be more careful from now on.’
Rimmer chuckled, brushing away his dark red hair. I will have to refrain from teasing a grandfather who is worried about his grandchildren for a while. If you make fun of him when he gets stronger, you might die.
“Huh.”
Rimmer raised his hands up and stretched.
‘I’m glad everything worked out well.’
The Gwangpungdan had a real battle with Oma, an opportunity they couldn’t get even if they paid money for it, and Raon defeated Sado.
Glenn opened the Library of Enlightenment and even gave the members a big gift, so it was good to say that everything went well.
‘Raon will take care of you even if you don’t say anything.’
The person Glenn cares about the most right now is Raon, so he will give him something even more special. She had no need to worry.
‘Now you can relax and rest.’
Rimmer picked up the reward bag he had received from Glenn from the floor. Punishment was given, but the reward was not taken away. She was, after all, a neat person.
‘Still, it would be unreasonable to go to a gambling house.’
Since Glenn was waking up with blood in his eyes, I felt like I should stop going to the gambling house for a while. She will have to keep an eye on her as she trains the members for a few days.
“Then let’s go take a rest… huh?”
I put the bag of gold coins in my pocket and opened the door to the sobriety room, but someone came across the training hall and approached me. A familiar gait and red eyes shining in the dark. It was Glenn.
“Go, matriarch?”
Rimmer narrowed his eyes at Glenn.
‘Why are you coming?’
I gave him a reward and a punishment, but I don’t know why he came to me at this late hour.
‘ah! Is that it?’
I felt like I brought some medicine because I couldn’t control my strength due to lightning today.
“You don’t have to worry so much… Ugh!”
Rimmer smiled and went out to meet him, then stopped abruptly. Glenn’s expression was cold. It wasn’t the look of someone who had come to give medicine or apologize, but rather the look of a villain who had come to chew them up.
“As if you weren’t crazy enough, did you teach your children to gamble?”
“yes? “Me?”
What are you talking about? What a gamble?
“I didn’t care about you losing and ruining yourself. Now they are trying to dye even the young sprouts black.”
“Well, me?”
I often told my children that they won and lost, but I never taught them anything.
“It’s obvious to see that you’re pulling away.”
When Glenn’s hands pointed to the sky, he couldn’t move as if his limbs were shackled.
Rumbling!
Dark clouds, darker than the night sky, began to gather and form thunderclouds.
“I hit it lightly earlier, so I’ll give it a little more force this time.”
Is that light? I almost fainted from the pain?
“It’s your karma, so take it sweetly.”
There was only one thing Rimmer could say as he watched the falling red thunder.
“… “Me?”
* * *
The Heavenly Sword Master rubbed his eyes and looked at the clearing again. It’s Raon. It was clear that it was Raon, but for a moment it seemed like Glenn was taking steps.
The reason Raon looked like Glenn was simple.
‘I’ve developed… .’
There is power in Taehwabo, which is currently operated by Raon. The mystery and majesty that Glenn showed was young.
I felt empty at the achievement, which was completely different from before. Of course, it wasn’t comparable to Glenn, but it was clear that she was on the same path.
‘How in this short time?’
Even if you maintain concentration, it is only 7 hours. Understanding Taehwabo, an ancient martial art, by training in a short period of time, less than one night, was impossible based on his common sense.
‘What on earth…? .’
Raon didn’t do anything special. He just kept observing the footprints, stepping on the Taehwabo, observing the footprints again, and stretching out the Taehwabo, but before he knew it, he began to feel the scent of Glenn in his walking methods.
The Heavenly Sword Master slightly bit the inside of his cheek, wondering if this was really reality.
sick. A situation that feels like a dream even though it is not a dream. Cold sweat ran down my back at this reality that made no sense.
‘What did they do?’
I don’t know how a kid who isn’t even a master can master Taehwabo, which is at a much higher level. I knew I had talent, but I never imagined it would be to this extent.
“Whoa… .”
I stopped looking briefly and focused on Raon. There were footprints in his red eyes. The pinnacle of footwork that Glenn left behind.
‘no way… .’
The Grand Master of the Heavenly Sword trembled his lips.
‘Have I entered samadhi?’
Martial artists who have reached a high level experience that all of their senses become dozens of times more sensitive and time passes slowly when they practice or face life-or-death situations.
It is a phenomenon commonly referred to as samadhi, trance, or ascension, and Raon seemed to have entered that state.
‘A kid who couldn’t even become a master trains and goes into samadhi?’
It might be a battle of life and death. It is not very common to enter a trance while practicing. Even I can count them on my fingers, and all five times were when I achieved enlightenment after becoming a master.
Raon hasn’t even reached master level yet. He couldn’t believe that he had entered samadhi while undergoing such difficult training that it was difficult for him to concentrate.
“There was a reason why the matriarch asked me to watch.”
The reason Glenn asked me to watch Raon didn’t mean to protect him. It meant finding out what kind of person he was.
“Is it mysterious, strange, or a different species?”
There was no other way to describe Raon other than those three words. I’ve lived a very ups and downs life, but this was my first time seeing a guy like that.
Boom!
Raon continues to step on the Taehwabo while lost in samadhi. He may or may not know that he has made progress, but he just continues to follow his footsteps with mesmerized eyes and stretch his feet.
Raon’s concentration, which is as sharp as a blade, can be felt up to this point. I was so curious about how far he would go that even as the sun rose over the mountains, he couldn’t leave.
“hmm?”
As I was watching Raon, I saw a maid coming from the annex toward the clearing with a tray full of food.
Should I block it?
The samaekyeong that Raon has now entered is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you interfere, you may lose the enlightenment you have achieved so far and suffer internal injuries.
When the Heavenly Sword Grandmaster was about to move, the maid walked towards Raon, stopped, looked at him carefully, and started taking back the food she was holding. After that, the annex became quiet as if it were night again, and the maids who came out of the annex never went to the vacant lot.
‘no way… .’
The Heavenly Sword Grandmaster swallowed his dry saliva and looked at Raon again.
“This isn’t just once or twice?”
His walking method was slowly and subtly resembling Glenn’s Taehwa walking method.
* * *
Raon stopped walking only after facing the third moon in the annex vacant lot.
“Whoa… .”
I sighed and sat down on the floor filled with footprints. She was so absorbed that she didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.
I lay down and looked up at the sky. I smiled when I saw the moon a little fuller than it was two days ago. My body and mind are exhausted, but I feel good. It was a laugh that came from knowing that the Taehwabo of the past and the Taehwabo of the future are different.
‘It’s definitely progressed.’
The completion of Taehwabo is a long, long way away. To become like Glenn, a few more decades of training would not be enough.
However, walking techniques that were not even common have now sprouted to the point where they can be used in practice. It was a tremendous amount of progress for only two days of training.
‘There is just something missing.’
You can tell because the Taehwabo that Glenn showed me is engraved on my head. He copied the posture, articulation, and movements exactly, but there was something different about his walking method.
‘What is that?’
It seems to be a more fundamental issue than simply the level of martial arts or the achievement of Taehwabo, but I don’t know the exact reason.
‘Hmm, maybe I used my head too much.’
Not only your head but also your body reaches its limit, and you become dazed and lethargic. I felt like I had to find the difference with Glenn after it happened.
-This damn thing… .
Just as I was about to fall asleep, Lars gritted his teeth.
-After two days of being restless and unable to sleep even a wink, are you the only one trying to sleep?
‘Las. long time no see.’
-Long time no see? Oooh long time no see? You can’t sleep either! I can’t get over the resentment of not being able to sleep and having eight meals disappear before my eyes!
Seeing that the meal was gone, it seemed like the maids had brought the meal and then taken it back.
Quaaaaa!
Lars opened his eyes fiercely, filled with anger and coldness. The cold that soared like a tsunami in the ocean enveloped the mana circuit and Danjeon, and the anger of 25 that had settled deep in my heart began to crush my soul.
-The king will eat gourmet food with your body. No, I will conquer the continent!
‘You meant to say gourmet, right?’
-Close that mouth!
Lars clearly did everything he could to cause anger and coldness, but the pain was not as severe as he thought.
The reason is simple: even when I collapsed from exhaustion, the ring of fire was still spinning.
Gooooooo!
The ring of fire, which had now become as natural as breathing, was melting Ras’ coldness and calming his anger.
-profit! Oh, why!
Lars opened his mouth as if he was embarrassed that he couldn’t overcome his exhaustion and death.
‘you… ‘It doesn’t work for me.’
-He doesn’t have the power to speak, so why can’t he break through!
‘… ‘I don’t have the power to speak, but you can stop it.’
Raon let out a weak laugh and continued to use the ring of fire. Although he did not have the energy to spin six rings of fire at the same time, he endured the pain and made five rings resonate.
-Yes, what on earth are you! How can a human… .
As Lars gritted his teeth in embarrassment, a message was posted declaring the guy’s defeat.
[You endured the interruption of while exhausted.]
[All abilities increase by 1 point.]
Normally, individual abilities would have been increased by about 1, but all abilities were raised because he endured Lars’ interference while exhausted. As expected, it was a fair system.
-Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess If you do this, you won’t be able to sleep, you won’t be able to eat, and your abilities will be taken away!
‘That’s why I told you not to do it.’
I felt like I could get a good night’s sleep with the added gift before going to bed.
[You used your body and mind to the bottom.]
[The effect of increases the quality of sleep as much as possible.]
When my eyelids felt heavy, a new message occurred to me.
-Isn’t this it? That morale ability that increases your stats just because you sleep well!
Raon closed his eyes, using Lars’ screams as a lullaby.
-Slos You stupid bastard! I will definitely come visit you later! Because of you two, the true king is being destroyed!
