Yunjong’s eyes shook.
“Sasuk… … ?”
He was almost doubting whether Baekcheon was sane right now.
The enemy is powerful.
Inaction does not depend solely on power and prowess, but even so, the power of the Sun Palace Lord was at a level they had rarely experienced before.
But you want to deal with someone like that? What about the current Baekcheon who can’t even achieve half of his ability?
“uh… … .”
Jo Geol reached out his hand towards Baek Cheon’s back without even realizing it. It felt like Baekcheon’s body was going to melt at any moment.
However, despite everyone’s concerns, Baekcheon remains unwavering. Like a single old pine tree rooted alone on a cliff.
Jo Geol, who was about to move forward together, hesitated for a moment against his will. His body automatically recoiled from the heat coming from in front of him.
That’s why I had no choice but to be even more flagship.
How can I step forward?
The swordsmen of the volcano, who always ran without fear in any battlefield, are in a situation where they are unable to step forward. But how could Baekcheon go out like that?
Complex emotions flashed in Jo Geol’s eyes as she followed Baek Cheon.
Jo Geol watched in bewilderment at his back, which was infinitely proud, but also extremely dangerous.
hot.
My skin feels like it’s boiling. Every time I take a breath, I feel pain as if my lungs are on fire.
I want to step away right now.
Know. No one would blame him if he stepped down now. No, on the contrary, I will support him by saying that it was a wise decision.
But Baekcheon did not back down.
Even if I were to melt in this place without leaving a single hair behind, I have no intention of leaving.
Anyone can say the right thing. Anyone can brag. What is truly difficult is whether you can follow through on your own words.
Give strength to your toes. Not to move forward, but not to back down. Push force into the hand holding the sword. Not to cut down the enemy, but to avoid being broken.
This was a different fight than Baekcheon had ever fought.
Everything is shaking. The hand holding the sword and the legs supporting the body. His strong body, even his long hair.
However, his eyes remained unwavering and stared straight at the Sun Palace Lord across from him.
The sun palace lord could not hide his absurd expression.
“… … “Are you going to stop me now?”
This was a strangeness that the Sun Palace Lord Jinpyeong had never felt before.
Of course, there were some arrogant guys who tried to resist him. There’s no way there aren’t things you don’t know about.
But no one dared to stand in front of him like this. Even though they were discussing resistance in places where he was not around, they were busy falling flat on their faces and shivering in his presence.
Those who were called history, those who were called heroes, and perhaps even those who were called hope by some were all the same.
However, a lowly person from the middle of nowhere is confidently blocking his path. It is different from Jang Il-so. This was a look in the eyes of the Sun Palace Lord that he had never seen before.
“Do you think you’ll lose your mind at any moment?”
I could recognize it at a glance.
The author’s condition is not normal. It wasn’t just weak.
It must have once been much stronger than it is now. But now, all that remains of that body is the remnants of its splendid glory.
“And yet you won’t back down?”
A laugh came out of the Sun Palace Lord’s mouth.
But even in the meantime, he captured it without missing a beat. Those who were tired of his power and hesitated to retreat stopped in place again as soon as the author stepped forward.
This is ridiculous.
No one would think that the author would dare to stop the Sun Palace Lord. No one would have any expectation that someone who had become a half-turned person would defeat him.
Still, they stopped retreating. As if something had changed even though nothing had changed.
That got on the nerves of the Sun Palace Lord Jinpyeong. A blazing golden glow glistened from his eyes.
“How dare you, a lowly bastard!”
Oooooh!
The tensile force extending from both hands split the air in front of Baekcheon.
The Sun Palace Lord was sure. This tension will either turn the author into a lump of black charcoal, or break down his clumsy confidence and send him rolling on the ground.
However, the scene that unfolded a moment later was very different from what I expected.
Para la rock.
A sound as if something was shaking was faintly heard, then gradually grew louder, and red sword energy rose from the tip of the swordsman’s sword.
‘… … flower?’
It was a sword that resembled a delicate flower petal. It wasn’t even complete. It was lacking and incomplete, like crushed and torn flower petals.
Are you going to block this with a sword like that?
Even if it were perfect, it would be impossible for that frail sword to fight against his enormous strength, and even if it was not possible to cut it with something like that… … . No, what can you do with flower petals that have already withered?
Wooooow!
Sure enough, the moment the petal touched the thermal tension, it broke and melted without a trace.
however… … She bloomed again.
again. Again. Over and over again.
The Sun Palace Lord slightly raised his eyes. The flower petals were in full bloom, creating a large plum forest.
‘There is a sword like this?’
In his opinion, it was a truly bizarre sword.
But what does that mean?
“You don’t even know the topic!”
The Sun Palace Lord doubled the tension. The tension he unleashed hit him directly and blew away the entire plum forest that Baekcheon had created.
Quaaaaa!
The plum blossom sword energy was engulfed in red flames. The sun archer snorted and looked at the spot where the black energy had subsided.
And at that moment his eyes widened.
Baekcheon was still there.
It did not turn into black charcoal or roll on the floor ugly.
“This guy… … .”
Of course, it doesn’t mean that his tension didn’t exert any power.
Baekcheon’s sword was red-hot as if it had been put into a brazier, and the hand holding the sword was so burned that the skin stuck to the handle. The shoulders of his uniform were scorched and tattered, and the arm holding the sword was also scorched in places, making it look unsatisfactory.
Even the ends of my hair were burned, and blisters appeared from burns from my left chin to below my cheekbone.
Therefore, it can be said that the Sun Sign Lord’s strength was clearly punishing the reckless person in front of him. However, because of that, the aging process became even more intense.
You’re not backing down? Even if it ends up like that?
Unlike the first time, Baekcheon’s eyes were no different from the first time, even though he had injuries all over his body. Even as her mouth was spitting out blood, her eyes faced the Lord of the Sun with clear eyes.
“This guy… … .”
Thousands of dollars were created in the sun sign.
“How dare you ignore me too!”
Quaaaaaaa!
A tremendous tension burst out. This time, it was his intention to turn Baekcheon into a lump of charcoal. The heat force, fully loaded with internal power, rushed in frighteningly.
The moment when Baekcheon tightly grasped the sword with his half-melted hands.
“What a crazy person!”
“Shit!”
Two people flew in front of him. Three if you include the top of your head… … . No, there are four in total, including the one supporting his back. Maybe it’s more than that.
“Aaaaaaaap!”
Jo Geol, Yoon Jong, and Yu Iseol’s swords emitted a stream of red sword energy.
“Oooooh!”
Soon, the power exuded by Hyeyeon, who supported Baekcheon’s shoulders, harmonized with the flower petals spreading in all directions and collided head-on with the Sun Palace Lord’s ten-yang power.
Quaaaaa!
Terrible heat erupted in all directions.
Although Baekcheon’s entire body turned red in an instant, the four people who surrounded Baekcheon as if he were guarding him did not take a single step back.
“Ugh… … .”
A moan that he could not hold back came out of Yunjong’s mouth.
‘Do this alone… … .’
It feels like all the liquid inside my body has boiled. As soon as the sweat began to flow, it could not overcome the heat and evaporated into pure white vapor.
“Aaaaaaaap!”
But he gritted his teeth. Then he became more vicious and accelerated his swordsmanship.
Ugh!
The tension of the Sun Palace lord scattered and dissipated. Yunjong’s knees, who had blocked her vicious blow, automatically buckled.
“Tsk!”
Yunjong, who coped with the momentary loss of strength by sinking his sword into the ground, gritted his teeth and looked back at Baekcheon.
“Did you just decide to die?”
“… … .”
“What on earth are you going to do with your body?” … !”
“You know.”
“yes?”
“… … “You guys are there.”
Yunjong’s eyes trembled as he was speechless.
But surprise soon turned into greater anger.
It is not anger towards the reckless Baekcheon.
He was angry at himself for not being able to get ahead of Baekcheon, but for thinking that he would surpass Baekcheon.
“And if something really goes wrong… … .”
“I just found out.”
Baekcheon strengthened his battered hands and lifted the sword. The tip was once again aimed at the Sun Palace Lord. Even though the death penalty has come to protect them, it seems that they have no intention of resigning from the vanguard.
“If I step back from here, I’ll know that I’m really just a mouthy guy.”
Yoonjong’s eyes, which had been fluttering, soon cooled down. The murderous intent that flashed through her eyes turned to the Lord of the Sun who stood in front of her.
widely.
Jo Geol and Yu I Seol stood next to Yoon Jong and pointed their swords together, perhaps understanding his feelings or perhaps everyone had already shared the same thoughts.
Yunjong opened his mouth, glaring at the Sun Palace Lord.
“Jogeul.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“Kill him and open the way.”
Jo Geol didn’t answer. No answer is needed. Because my heart is pounding because I want to rush right now.
Seeing these volcanic swordsmen, the Sun Palace Lord’s face was cruelly distorted with anger.
‘Those guys… … .’
Those who were looking for a way to escape just moments ago are baring their teeth at him like wild beasts that have found their prey. No, it was as if he was seeing a bitter enemy who could not live under the same sky.
‘Remnants… … .’
The person standing in front of me is clearly nothing but burnt-out dregs. however… … .
‘Are you saying there’s a spark inside it?’
Is there a spark that will make something burn again?
“this… … “How dare you do something similar!”
There was great anger in the voice of the Sun Palace Lord. The anger that had been building up in her all this time now overflowed unstoppably. Even those who are worse than those bugs… … .
Paaaaat!
But the anger could not fully burst out. This is because before his voice shook the heavens and earth, red-hot swords came rushing in.
“Open!”
As if a bow was fired at full force, the swordsmen of the volcano turned into dozens of arrows and rushed forward.
Filled with self-reproach, shame, anger, and determination.
Although we did not verbally communicate with each other, there was no need to. Just run. Toward the flames opened by the person willingly standing in front.
Kaaaang!
The Sun Palace Lord’s hand strikes away Jo Geol’s flying sword.
“this… … !”
Paralarak!
At that moment, hundreds of plum blossom leaves drawn by Yunjong and Yu Iseol wrapped around the entire body of the Sun Palace Lord.
“These guys!”
Fahaha!
The moment the Sun Palace Lord, whose vision was blocked, gritted his teeth and tried to move, the plum blossom leaves in front of him shook. And in between them, someone flew in a straight line towards the Sun Palace Lord.
‘You guy… … ?’
Baekcheon’s face, with about half of one cheek burned, quickly got closer.
In the midst of all this, the moment he saw the still unchanging eyes, the Sun Sign Lord’s anger finally exploded like a volcano.
“Aaaahhh!”
