The sky was so black that not even a small star could be seen, let alone the moon, and on the ground, a yellow-green swamp as shallow as a stream was lapping.
As I took a deep breath, the air felt different from before.
It was not a stuffy, sticky air filled with the energy of death, but a pleasant breeze filled with cool, yet warm heat.
As I calm my mind and slowly raise my head, I see the back of a man. An impressive swordsman with brilliant blonde hair that contrasts with his silver armor. He was Sieghardt’s first head of the family.
Was it, after all, a trace of that person?
As soon as I saw the sword marks on the pillar, I felt familiar. As expected, they seemed to be the sword marks left by the first head of the family.
A little young?
Unlike what I saw before, the short hair cut is impressive. I still can’t see the face properly, but it feels like I look younger than when I saw it in the dungeon or the heavy combat cave.
After checking Sieghardt’s ancestors, I looked next to him. A blue-haired swordsman wearing a yellow uniform was holding a sword with both hands.
Then, this will be the invitation to the Arian family.
She has the same ocean blue hair and narrow eyes as Wendy Arian. Because of her physical resemblance, she may have inherited the spirit of her Aryan family.
Finally, I raised my gaze to the sky.
The Arch Lich, wearing robes as black as the night sky and holding a staff studded with black wet beads, was looking down at the two.
The over 30 Death Knights and Banshees under him showed their deep murderous spirit towards the Sieghart ancestors and Aryan ancestors.
This is the situation.
It was the very battle that Judiel had heard about, in which the first head of the Sieghart family and the first head of the Arian family killed the arch lich that rose from the swamp of death.
When the Arch Lich raises his staff, countless dark magic circles appear above the sky and the ground. Dark magic erupted from the magic circle and rained down on the two warriors.
The ancestor of the Sieghardt family stepped forward with a step that left red marks and pulled out his sword like a thunderbolt. The flames burning above the blade lightly burned the Death Knight and Banshee.
The ancestor of the Aryan family summoned a blue storm with a green sword and split the magic and magic circle created by the Arch Lich.
Arch Lich stepped back in embarrassment. Its back touched the black temple burning with the energy of death.
The pillars I saw were the remains of that temple.
I thought it was strange that the three pillars stuck in the swamp were so large, but they seemed to be pillars from the temple where the Arch Lich worshiped the demon god.
The Arch Lich quickly resummoned the Death Knight using the power of his staff and temple and fired stronger black magic, but the two warriors seemed to have relaxed and erased the undead and magic faster than before.
As soon as the Sieghart ancestor cut down the last remaining Death Knight, he broke through the swamp and leaped forward to rush at the Arch Lich.
The Arch Lich used the energy of death like a ghost to create a black shield, but it was unable to block the flames contained in Sieghart’s ancestor’s sword and it split like a sheet of paper.
Sieghart’s ancestor did not stop and proceeded to cleave the Arch Lich’s chest, while Aryan’s ancestor fired a strong sword filled with blue wind and decapitated the Arch Lich.
Complete victory. The two warriors achieved an elaborate passing technique without any conversation or gestures. Thanks to countless knocks, I felt like I was seeing Gwangpungdan, who understood each other’s feelings just by looking into their eyes.
However, Sieghardt’s ancestors and Aryan’s ancestors did not lower their swords. The two people frowned as they looked at the Arch Lich floating in the air even though its neck and chest were split.
The Arch Lich gathered the beads of his staff and the energy of death in the temple and began to create a huge sphere of fraud using his own body as a medium. Self-destruction. His intention was to kill the two warriors, even if it meant exposing all the frauds here.
The ancestor of the Sieghardt family thrust his sword towards the sphere. It is Yeom Ryong-gyeol, a cartoon ball with a breath of flame extending from the center of the sword body. However, the fire dragon’s roar could not pierce the sphere where the morale was concentrated and was scattered in vain.
The ancestor of the Aryan family also launched a series of sharp winds shaped like scythes, but was unable to cut through the growing sphere of fraud.
The Arch Lich’s fallen neck giggled and laughed at the two people.
The ancestors of the Sieghardt family and the ancestors of the Aryan family spoke for the first time and nodded.
The ancestor of the Aryan family holds the sword with both hands and draws in the wind that spreads around. The wind along the sword road became increasingly thicker, cutting through the energy of death and opening the path to the black sphere.
The ancestor of the Sieghardt family took a slow stance and walked as if that was enough. A smooth red energy burns from the sword body, which is as white as a snow field.
He pressed the ground with his left foot and thrust his sword forward. Dozens of red lights shoot out from a single blade and stab the black sphere.
Thirty-six. Flames that suppressed thirty-six directions with one sword engulfed the black sphere.
Don’t fall in!
The black sphere tried to inflate its size in some way, as if in defiance, but the thirty-six flames created by Sieghardt’s ancestors were crushed by the power of the sea-green wind from behind, crushing the black sphere.
Kuoaaaaaaa!
Like a pumpkin wrapped in chains being crushed, the black sphere was crushed by the power of flame and wind, causing a huge explosion in the air. The shock wave that extended behind even collapsed the Temple of Death.
Sieghart’s ancestor slashed his sword diagonally towards the falling Arch Lich. It turned into ash and faded away without even leaving a scream.
He turns his head slightly. As he faced the red eyes that seemed to be burning with flames, his head felt as if it was burning, and the swordsmanship technique he had seen a moment ago came to mind.
As expected, it was the swordsmanship of a cartoonist.
However, I did not acquire only that sword skill. I felt that the swordsmanship techniques that can achieve that swordsmanship have grown even further.
The ancestor of the Sieghardt family nods slightly. He wasn’t doing it looking at me, it was a gesture to the ancestors of the Aryan family, but it seemed like he was asking me if I could do it.
of course.
When I nodded that I could do it, a darker darkness than before illuminated my eyes, and a whistling noise was heard in my ears.
“… on.”
“Raon!”
When I blinked, I saw Rimmer gesturing.
“What on earth are you thinking! “One o’clock is urgent!”
He pointed to the black sphere, saying that we had to deal with it quickly before it was too late.
“Uhm… .”
Raon raised his head following Rimer’s hand. It didn’t seem like 10 seconds had passed since I fell into a trance, but before I knew it, the sphere of fraud had swelled as if it would cover the sky.
-You guy.
As I bit my lip, Lars jumped out and hit me in the face.
-Where have you been again?
‘what?’
-I’m asking where and what I did to become stronger again!
Lars gritted his teeth as he looked at Raon.
‘What on earth is this guy?’
It’s annoying to constantly fall into a trance, but sometimes it disappears with a soul and then reappears with a stronger effect. This damn kid grew up and came back in less than 10 seconds.
-Some kind of fanatic is giving it away again!
‘Hogura… .’
Raon smiled slightly, raking his hands across the sky.
‘The person above in the sky keeps telling me how pretty I am.’
-Seo, you can’t believe that you’re even eating away at the hypocrites of heaven! that… .
‘that?’
-Is this a good thing?
Lars suddenly nodded, saying that he could just rob those guys.
“Raon.”
While Ras was shaking his head at the unexpected reaction, Rimmer approached.
“You have the ring that Chamber gave you, right?”
“yes.”
“Let’s write that. Now that’s the way… no. “I think he might be here.”
Rimmer stopped pointing at the ring and raised his head.
“hey! There is nothing to do but inspiration! “Come out quickly and help!”
He shouted in a voice full of aura, but no one appeared.
“What are you doing?”
“madam! I thought it was definitely here, but I can’t help it. A ring… .”
“It’s done. “I will handle it, just help me.”
Raon shook his head, took a breath, and spun the ring of fire. The sound of the ring rotating around the heart awakened my spirit.
“Yes, you handle it?
“yes. I think I can cut it. “I just need some help.”
He gestured to Wendy Arian, who was watching this place.
“Wendy!”
“Eh?”
Wendy was so startled that she didn’t even think she would be called, so she opened her eyes like a rabbit.
“Please come this way!”
“Ah yes!”
Even though she was in a situation where she might die soon, she ran this way without hesitation.
“Is there a martial art among the Aryan family’s swordsmanship that can cut through the energy of the wind?”
“Well, there is a plant called the path of the wind. But how did Raon do that… .”
She tilted her head and asked how she knew since it was not an offensive swordsmanship and she had never used it in front of Raon.
“Please open the way to that sphere of fraud with your sword skills. and… .”
Raon gestured towards Rimmer.
“Danju, please help Wendy. “She will be able to do it.”
“Uhm… .”
Rimmer wiped the sweat running down his chin with the back of his hand and licked his lips.
“I’m having a hard time right now… .”
He shook his head, saying he was so tired from fighting.
“Are you already exhausted from fighting so much that you’re panting like a puppy? “When I get back, I’ll have to do some physical training.”
“Huh? How much stamina and aura does the Sword Realm have? .”
“Because I don’t know. “If you can’t do this, go back and prepare to climb the cliff with the kids.”
“Keueuuuuu!”
When Raon repeated exactly what Rimmer had said, his complexion became as pale as a sheet of paper.
“You damn bastard… .”
“It was Danju who raised me like this.”
He waved his hand and stepped forward to stand in front of the black sphere.
“hmm… .”
Wendy’s lips trembled as she looked at Raon’s back.
‘Can I do it?’
Like me?
Raon said he would ask for it, but he didn’t have the confidence to properly open the Wind Path. It’s not because I haven’t practiced. I wondered if it would be okay to step forward at such a critical moment, when even one mistake could lead to everyone’s death.
‘I don’t think I can… .’
My hands are shaking and my heart is beating violently. She had no idea how to swing a sword, let alone the path of the wind. Her head feels empty.
When I was about to tell Raon that I didn’t think I could do it, he turned around.
“A thousand years ago. From this place, you and your ancestors parted the darkness. “Now it’s our turn.”
He smiled softly, as if he knew how nervous we all were.
“Wendy Arian. You are the only one in the Aryan family who has carried on the will of your ancestors. I could.”
Raon didn’t even listen to Wendy’s answer and looked ahead again. An unwavering back spoke of trust.
“Do not worry too much.”
When Wendy’s trembling subsided little by little, Rimer came up next to her.
“If that arrogant subordinate says he can do it, it definitely means he can do it. “Don’t feel pressured, just do what you normally do.”
He smiled coolly, telling me to relax.
“ah… .”
When I thought that the rare genius called White Sword Dragon believed in me, I felt at ease, as if the thick rope that had been constricting my heart had been cut. Although all the tremors did not subside, the feeling of making a mistake definitely subsided.
“Si, let’s begin.”
Wendy bit her lip and swung her sword vigorously as if striking a sword. The wind blowing from the silver blade created a sea-green path toward her black sphere.
Squeak!
However, due to Wendy’s lack of power, the path was not completed and was twisted as if it would be crushed. When the blue wind was about to be pushed away by the energy of death, the green wind blew and supported it.
Whoa!
It’s Limerda. He gritted his teeth and cut the flow of morale with a sword wrapped in green wind. The thin green wind contained in the sword’s body rose like a waterspout and penetrated the path of the wind created by Wendy.
Cheeeeee!
The two types of winds intertwined, opening a gentle wind path toward the black sphere.
“Danju, you have been lying down for a long time, so you may lose some of your back pain.”
Raon approached the black sphere and closed his eyes. What he pictured in his mind was the sword of Sieghardt’s first family head, which he had seen a while ago. It was an absolute martial arts skill that occupied thirty-six directions simultaneously.
‘It’s impossible for me to just follow it.’
Because the matriarch I saw today is stronger than me now.
No, regardless of whether one is strong or weak, it is impossible to perfectly perform the absolute martial arts that I saw for the first time today without any practice, even with the ring of fire.
‘so that… .’
You should help too.
He smiled as he adjusted the requiem sword in his left hand.
Wooooow!
Raon stood in front of the black sphere, listening to the happy cry of the requiem sword.
“You arrogant subordinate! “Let’s go for real now!”
“Aaaah!”
With Rimmer and Wendy’s spirit, the energy of death was completely pushed away, opening the path for the emerald wind toward the black sphere.
Bullfight!
Raon took a step that made the ground tremble and drew out all of the Manhwagong’s energy remaining in the Danjeon. I endured the intense pain that threatened to burn out my mana circuit and performed the horse-raising ceremony of the first head of the family that I had seen in a trance.
A perfect stop tax, neither too much nor too little. The two swords placed in front of the dantian were fired at the same time. The breath of flame dwells above the Jecheon Sword and the Requiem Sword, which advance as beams of light.
Cartoon Ball Baekhwa.
Jeokseom36gyeol.
Eighteen smooth flames soaked the blade, each spreading out, enveloping the sphere of condensed energy.
Kugugugugugugugu!
Like comets running through the night sky, thirty-six flame streaks surrounded the black sphere, creating tremendous pressure.
Squeaky!
However, the fraud contained in the black sphere was so enormous that it did not easily melt away.
‘Not yet.’
I can’t give up like this. I poured all my remaining energy into using the cartoon ball and the ring of fire to the point where my heart and energy were pounding.
Pudddeuk!
Blood was flowing from my nose and mouth, and my bones and skin were tingling as if they would be crushed, but I bit my lip and took a step forward.
Hwaaaaaaa!
The wind created by Wendy Arian and Rimmer also becomes stronger. It was a warm wind pushing my back.
The wind makes the fire grow.
The red flame and blue wind harmonized like gears, and the line of fire from the Red Island Thirty-Six Gyeol grew thick.
Coo goo goo goo goong!
A huge flame began to weigh down the sphere of fraud and burn the energy of death within it.
“Aaaah!”
Raon squeezed every last bit of his muscles and aura to melt the black sphere as much as possible and threw it into the sky.
Wow!
The sphere of flame, which had become so small that the black energy could not be seen, exploded, causing a huge explosion.
“Haaa… .”
Raon lowered his sword only after seeing the dark red energy pouring out like cherry blossoms.
‘finished… .’
Thanks to putting all my effort into it, I was able to cleanly dispose of the sphere. Perhaps due to the aftereffects of the enormous power, the three pillars that had brought enlightenment crumbled into dust.
‘thank you.’
I lowered my head, remembering Sieghart’s ancestors and Aryan’s ancestors.
“Whoa… .”
When I sighed and woke up, Rimmer came running to me.
“What kind of swordsmanship is that! “Is this your first time seeing this?”
He shook his shoulders and asked if he had created a sword technique again.
“thank you. Lord Danju.”
Raon lowered his eyes as he saw the sweat flowing from Rimmer’s forehead. Although he was rough, it was clear that he did his best to help.
“Hey, as a sober drinker, I have to do this much. Instead, I really have no strength now. “You carry me and go to the Aryan family.”
“Oh, now that I think about it, why are you late…” .”
I was about to tell Rimmer why he came so late, but my vision became blurry. When I saw the blue screen, I thought a message came to mind, but I didn’t have the energy to look at it.
“Are you asking? Child… .”
Raon lost consciousness while questioning Rimmer’s tardiness and fell backwards.
“omg!”
Rimmer rushed to the floor and caught Raon, who was falling.
‘You’re exhausted.’
Raon was in a state of fainting after using up all his stamina and aura, not even a drop of it.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Rimmer gently patted Raon on the back. He smiled as he looked at his student who was now so big that it was difficult to hold him.
“Thanks to you, everyone survived.”
I’m serious. If it weren’t for Raon a moment ago, everyone here would have been in danger.
As he had promised, he completely blocked the energy of death. He was always a trustworthy disciple.
“Thanks to you, it’s been a long time since I was able to swing my sword to my heart’s content. It was fun. “It felt like I went back in time.”
Rimmer gave a small nod to Raon with eyes filled with warmth.
“thanks.”
My young king.
