Chapter 616
Raon wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead and looked at Ogram. He had an innocent expression on his face, as if he meant what he said a moment ago.
‘Are you really saying that Gyeokhaemu is teaching you martial arts?’
I couldn’t understand why the Beast League leader would teach the martial arts of super-ascension that he had mastered to himself, an outsider.
‘No matter how much I helped the Sran tribe, I am still a stranger.’
In the original shamanic school, the martial arts of the ascendant are only taught to the direct lineage and collaterals who have made a lot of merit, and to the rest, the martial arts of a lower level are taught.
Sieghardt was not much different. He sometimes bestowed martial arts on foreigners who had made meritorious contributions, but there was no case in which he passed on military education to his direct lineage, which was learned by the head of the family or heir.
‘Are you going to teach me such super-rising martial arts?’
The fierce sea dance would be one of Ogram’s deadly techniques. He couldn’t believe that he was sharing the Beast League’s seasons with an outsider.
“What you just said… .”
Raon calmed his heart that started beating so fast that it felt like it was going to explode and looked up.
“Are you serious?”
“Do I look like someone who will talk nonsense?”
“That’s not it… .”
“I know what you’re thinking.”
Ogram curled up his mouth coolly.
“The continent’s martial people do not want to reveal their martial arts skills. “If your uneducatedness is shown, you may be in danger due to the creation of the law of destruction.”
I was actually feeling it these days.
In the past, many people did not know about the frost kite and could easily cut off the enemy’s neck with the cold blade, but now more and more warriors know that the frost kite has two blades and use it for defense.
As Ogram said, the more martial arts was exposed, the more defensive and destructive methods emerged.
“But what is it?”
Ogram lifted his chin and shook his head.
“Muhak that becomes weak just because it is shown is not strong martial arts from the beginning. “It can be said that truly strong martial arts skills are those that show their power even when they are seen and can read the flow.”
“hmm… .”
“There are no second chances on the battlefield.”
A spirit soared from his sunken eyes that weighed down his heart.
“Only once. You can only survive on the battlefield if you kill your opponent with just one opportunity. Gyeokhaemu is the art for that. “It’s not like learning something that’s weakened just because it’s taught to you or shown to others!”
Ogram pounded his chest as if making a declaration.
“There are no such weak warriors or martial arts in this Beast League.”
“ah… .”
Raon grabbed her trembling wrist. When he heard Oh Gram’s words, goosebumps rose up as if the hairs on his head were standing on end.
“That’s right. “Ultimate power does not become weak just because it is shown.”
Garona nodded without being the least bit surprised, probably thinking the same thing as Ogram.
-For a muscle pig, you say nice things.
Lars shook his head.
-True strength is something that should not become weak under any circumstances. Whether he was fighting in flames or lava, King Bon always froze all his enemies.
Although he said a lot, he agreed with what Ogram said.
‘Come to think of it… .’
The matriarch and Lars are similar.
Glenn’s swordsmanship, which is my goal, is not a sword that becomes weaker just because it is shown. Literally heaven. Who can handle the sky made with a sword?
The same goes for Lars. The guy crushed the enemy with the power of frost without any grappling skills. He seemed like there was no one who could overcome that enormous energy.
Ogram also had the same confidence as Glenn and Lars, so he asked me if I would pass on his martial arts skills.
‘then… .’
Now that I knew Ogram’s thoughts, I steeled myself and stood in front of him.
“Please teach me.”
Raon straightened his posture and bowed his head to Ogram.
“good night!”
Ogram nodded his head loudly, as if he knew that would happen.
“I thought about it for a long time, so I thought about rejecting it, but I ended up accepting it.”
“It took me a while to understand what the matriarch said.”
“understanding?”
“yes. I realized what it means to never be on the battlefield twice. “I don’t even know what I should do.”
“Khahahahaha!”
He held his head and let out a cool laugh.
“Good. good.”
Ogram lowered his head and touched the end of Raon’s black dragon robe.
“At the time, I thought I gave you an excessive gift, but now I see that the Black Dragon Po met an excessive owner.”
“no.”
“Stop talking nonsense, let’s get started right away.”
He waved his hand to stop wasting time.
“Gyeokhaemu means jumping over the sea.”
“ocean?”
“okay. It means breaking through the sea of auras operated by the opponent and driving this fist into the head.”
Ogram clenched his fists. If he got hit, he looked like he would lose his mind right away.
“The structure is simple. “You could probably memorize it in just one hour while eating.”
“hmm.”
Raon widened his eyes. I couldn’t believe that a super-scenic martial arts like Gyeokhaemu could be achieved with simple phrases.
[The ocean with heavy rain and the coastal waves with calm winds are all the same sea.
The sea, where the sun is burning and the moon is rising, is like a mirror that reflects itself.
I have to wipe out my soul so that the small sea within me can also open a path.]
… .
As Ogram said, the ending was short. But there was a mysterious spirit within it. It was easy to understand, but I wasn’t sure I understood it right.
“How did you memorize it?”
“yes… .”
Raon nodded slightly.
“Then, from now on, I will teach you how to operate it.”
Ogram clenched his fist again. Colorless light flashed between his thick fingers.
“It’s an operational law, so why use your fist…” .”
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Ogram’s fist.
“I told you. I have to wade through the sea of myself and the other person. The flow and size of each sea are different. In other words, you have to break through the sea of aurors through countless experiences. The fastest way to do that is… .”
Even without listening, I felt like I knew what was going on.
“It’s real!”
Ogram stretched out his clenched fist. His fists rushed toward his abdomen, faster than before.
“Ugh!”
Raon blocked Ogram’s fist by forming an Auror shield with the manga ball’s flame.
“Wrong!”
Ogram frowned and thrust his fist all the way out, as if that wasn’t the case.
Whoops!
His fist penetrated the flame shield as if the wall of prayer beads did not exist and struck Raon in the abdomen.
“Kuhuhuhuh!”
Raon fell to the floor, letting out a loud groan.
‘What the… .’
I almost lost my mind for a moment. The pain was so great that he couldn’t even move a finger.
“I didn’t tell you the story for no reason. “If you don’t use the sea fog to stop it, you will feel that pain every time.”
Ogram snapped his fingers as if telling him to get up quickly.
“Wow, you’re telling me how to operate it… .”
“okay. “This is it.”
Ogram lunged at him with his fists and laughed, baring his teeth.
“If you get it right, your body will learn it on its own!”
With those words, Ogram’s fist flew faster and stronger.
‘I knew it… .’
Raon chewed his lips until they bled, memorizing the rhyme of Gyeokhaemu.
‘Nothing in this world is easy.’
-Do you know that now? In the demon world, something like this is nothing. When the main king became the monarch of the demon world, even more hardships… .
‘You shut up!’
* * *
Sieghardt’s 5 training ground, where the sand is heated by the enthusiasm of the swordsmen.
“Runan!”
Rimmer approached Runan, who was nodding in the center of the training hall.
“Don’t close your eyes! “You’re trying to sleep again!”
“No.”
Runaan narrowed her eyes and shook her head.
“What do you mean by ‘no’… .”
“I practiced swordsmanship in my dreams.”
“dream! “I said it was a dream!”
“It’s true.”
She closed her eyes again, as if it didn’t matter what Rimmer said.
“You can leave it alone. “When that guy wakes up, he strangely becomes stronger.”
Burren smiled as he looked at Runaan.
“I heard that just sleeping doesn’t make you stronger, it just makes you irritable.”
Marta clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like Runaan and began her own training.
After listening to the two people, Rimmer looked at Runan again. She bobbed her head as if dozing off, the Auror inside her working diligently as if fighting her own battle.
‘no way… .’
Are you standing on the border?
Runaan’s current strength level is Master Intermediate. This is a time for those who are fast to slowly form images of their own thoughts, and Runaan seemed to be in that position right now.
‘It’s been worthwhile teaching me since I was young.’
Ever since I was a Gwangpungdae trainee, I’ve been constantly telling people that images and imagination are important, and it was heartbreaking to see that that advice was finally having an effect.
‘It’s not just Runaan.’
Burren and Marta have also grown tremendously. Not only did they become stronger mentally, but it seemed like the two of them would reach intermediate level in a not too distant time.
‘The other guys have grown a lot too.’
Currently, all members of Gwangpungdae are ranked at the highest expert level.
Dorian and the co-pilots had their hands against the wall, so it wouldn’t be strange for them to become masters right away if they had the chance.
Rimmer looked at the Gwangpungdae swordsmen one by one and raised his eyebrows.
‘If we continue like this, won’t we really become the strongest organization?’
It seemed that if Gwangpungdae continued to grow in this state, it would become more powerful than before in the name of Dae.
‘You guys have really grown up.’
I remember the first time I saw those kids. I was just trying to achieve the dream entrusted to me, but now it felt like his dream had become my dream.
“hmm… .”
Marta wrinkled her eyes as she looked at Rimmer, who was smiling warmly.
“Why is Daeju like that? “Why are you smiling nervously?”
“I don’t know.”
Buren scratched his cheek and shook his head.
“It looks like the expression you make when you ask to borrow money.”
“That’s it! “It’s obvious I lost money while gambling!”
Marta clicked her tongue, saying that she should warn the prosecutors never to lend money.
“Rimer!”
Contrary to what the two thought, while Rimmer was watching the Gwangpungdae with pure eyes, the door to the training hall opened and Encia came in.
“It’s done!”
She ran towards Rimmer holding a gray prosthetic hand that seemed to be made of iron.
“that… .”
“What can I say? Of course, he is Rimmer’s right hand man.”
“Is it already finished?”
“I prepared it before you left for Seifia.”
Encia laughed, saying that she was able to make it right away because she had completed the measurements and blueprints and even obtained the materials, branches and leaves of the world tree.
“I thought you made it roughly… .”
“It was a joke.”
Encia tapped his shoulder and shook his head.
“I am a craftsman. “I do my job, and there is no such thing as being rough or joking around.”
She held out the prosthetic hand she made herself with confident eyes.
“Take off your clothes. “I’ll put it in for you.”
“hmm… .”
Rimmer licked his lips and looked around. Everyone in the Gwangpungdae stopped practicing and surrounded the area.
“I can’t help it.”
He sighed and took off his jacket. His wounds were healed, but he still stuck out his ugly-looking shoulder.
Encia looked at Rimmer’s shoulder calmly, as if she didn’t care about the wound.
“This prosthetic hand will be connected to Rimaire’s aura. “You’ll probably think that your real hand has returned.”
As if she was confident in the artifact she had created, she immediately placed the prosthetic hand on Rimmer’s shoulder.
The thin cloth that was attached to the prosthetic hand stuck to Rimmer’s shoulder like rubber and became the same color as his skin.
Wooooow!
A light light emerged from the prosthetic arm, and the gray arm changed to the same color as Rimmer’s skin. It seemed like a device that was considerate of the user.
Rimmer narrowed his eyes as he looked at his tingling shoulder.
‘This… .’
The moment the fabric-like material attached to the prosthetic arm touched my skin, I felt a small pain as if my flesh had been pinched by a needle, and it felt as if my arm had grown.
It was a strange sensation, as if the nerves inside my shoulder were touching the nerves in my prosthetic arm.
‘where… .’
When I thought about moving my fingers, the prosthetic fingers began to move. It took more force than I expected, but his hands definitely moved as I expected.
“under… .”
Rimmer laughed as he watched his hands move freely.
‘You really made this?’
It seemed so real that it was ridiculous. If things continued like this, even if he wasn’t at his peak, it seemed like he could regain the strength he had before his arm was cut off.
“wow… .”
“Does it look like a real arm?”
“The color of the prosthetic arm changed to the color of the Lord’s skin.”
“So, move your fingers!”
The Gwangpungdae swordsmen also widened their eyes in surprise when they saw Rimmer’s arm.
“But it’s not a real arm, so you have to be careful. “You also need to practice controlling your aura.”
Encia personally adjusted the prosthetic hand and told me what to watch out for.
“Even if you can endure until it becomes black without an auror, it is difficult to become stronger.”
“It’s better than my original arm. “Because I can’t survive the sword without an auror.”
Rimmer chuckled and waved his hand.
“Oh, that’s right.”
When Encia thought about it, she said that too and laughed.
“It’s all over. “Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“It’s just right. I really feel like my arm is back.
Rimmer showed a satisfied smile without any sign of joking at the surprise of his arm returning.
“thank you.”
“Please say that greeting to Raon instead. “Thanks to the branches and leaves of the World Tree that he brought, side effects were reduced and stability was greatly increased.”
She smiled and said that this was also thanks to Raon.
“I will.”
“Then, please take good care of Raon in the future.”
Encia waved her hand and said that was enough.
“sure.”
Rimmer clenched his prosthetic fist and nodded.
“Of course I plan to do so.”
He nodded, feeling the warmth coming from his chest instead of the warmth of his skin.
“I have made a decision now.”
“Decision?”
Encia opened her eyes wide.
“What decision?”
Runaan blinked at Rimmer.
“I might decide to gamble with a new mind.”
Burren laughed, pretending to throw dice.
“It would be funny if I went to a gambling house and got that arm cut off.”
Marta giggled as she heard Buren’s words.
Everyone in the Gwangpungdae burst out laughing as they looked at Rimmer and the team members.
“… … .”
Looking at the children, Rimmer drew a small smile mixed with joy, regret, and anticipation.
“You will find out soon.”
* * *
Coooooo!
Raon was unable to control his body and collapsed on the floor.
“Ugh… .”
It hurts so bad.
The pain from falling wasn’t anything special, but it felt like my grip was being torn apart by Ogram’s fist.
If he had applied just a little more strength, his grip would have really burst.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
I turned my attention to the scream I heard next to me. Garona was also struck by Ogram’s fist and was greeting her floor with her face.
“Whoa… .”
Raon sighed and stood up.
‘It’s not easy.’
The flow of martial arts shown by Ogram was different from the martial arts I had learned so far, so it was not easy to follow even though I was using the ring of fire.
It’s been a week since I started training, but I felt like even 100 days wouldn’t be enough to get a feel for it.
“One will is good.”
Ogram raised his eyebrows as if he liked Raon, who immediately got up.
“I understand why you got to that level at that age.”
He turned his gaze to Garona and frowned.
“Why don’t you get up quickly!”
“Off… .”
Garona stood up, clutching her chest where she had been hit a moment ago.
“I told you everything I needed to know.”
Ogram lifted the drinking glass that was hanging between the tree branches.
“Gyeokhaemu is not a martial art, but rather a flash of a moment. “If it’s right, even a three-year-old can use it. If it’s not right, you can practice for 30 years and still get nothing.”
After emptying his glass, he twisted his mouth.
“However, such results should not happen to those who learned from me.”
Ogram holds out his clenched left fist. A colorless brilliance flickered between the cracks of his fist as if it were about to explode.
He struck Garona with a stronger fist than when he struck Karun.
Whoops!
Garona was hit in the face without even being able to properly defend herself and was thrown to the floor.
My eyes completely roll back and my breathing stops. If it weren’t for her whole body shaking, it would have been thought that she had died from a single blow.
“It’s your turn next.”
Ogram this time clenched his right fist and came in front of Raon.
gulp.
Raon swallowed dryly as he watched Ogram’s fist emitting increasingly intense light.
‘Should I quit now?’
If I got hit by that fist, it didn’t just break somewhere, it felt like the flesh would explode. As I was wondering what excuse I should come up with to stop, I saw the look in Ogram’s eyes.
Eyes that reflect trust towards me. Seeing the eyes that trusted me, I swallowed back what I was about to say and straightened my posture.
‘Now, the leader gave up his precious time for me.’
Ogram was teaching me with all his sincerity.
Doing something roughly here or just wasting time was a huge disrespect for which I cannot ask for forgiveness.
Coo!
Raon stepped forward and clenched his fists. By using the ring of fire as a polarity, it even created a sense of folktale.
“Come!”
“As expected, he’s my favorite!”
Ogram nodded loudly and threw out his fist.
Coo coo coo coo!
The airflow that flashes between my fists is taking my breath away. Even without using the fierce sea fog, an intense wind wave that felt like my soul would fly away filled my field of vision.
‘Don’t back down, see it through to the end.’
As I increased my concentration to the point where I could even see the veins on Ogram’s fist, time began to pass slowly.
The flow of heavy sea fog came in so slowly that it seemed as if I could grasp it.
[The ocean with heavy rain and the coastal waves with calm winds are all the same sea.]
He clenched his right fist while reciting the verse of Gyeokhaemu. He put a stream of sea fog in his fist and launched it towards Oh Gram’s fist.
Kuwaaaa!
Fist-to-fist clash. However, Ogram’s harsh sea fog penetrated the wall of the harsh sea fog I was operating and touched my skin in an instant.
[The sea, where the sun is burning and the moon is rising, is like a mirror that reflects itself.]
‘You have to hang up!’
Even if you can’t win, you can survive by cutting off the flow of Ogram.
Raon gritted his teeth and brought back the Aura that had disappeared in vain. The rotation of the ring around the heart becomes faster and faster.
The world turned red as blood rushed to my heart, but I forced myself to come together and recite the last phrase.
[I must cleanse my soul so that the small sea within me can also open a path.]
As I felt that there was only me and Ogram in the world, I began to see the flow of energy contained in his fist.
‘I understand now.’
The small sea inside me is a mental image.
Gyeokhaemu is a martial arts learner who knows himself first to be able to overcome his opponent.
Raon strengthened his shaking grip as he inserted a new sword named Gyeokhaemu into the world of images.
“her?”
He lashed out a small but firmly clenched fist towards Ogram, whose eyes were wide open.
Coooooo!
