Chapter 221
Episode 221 Ssak3 (4)
I took up my sword and established my will.
I cleared my head. I no longer thought about maintaining strength or the strength of Auror. I just focused all my mind on one thing: cutting down the monster in front of me.
Now that the black cloud has ended, the thickness and size of the river have become noticeably smaller. However, the momentum contained within it was incomparable to before.
“Now that it’s time to control your strength, it’s getting dirty.”
Cheolgwi looked at Baek Woo-jin and grinned. There were people like Baek Woo-jin who tried to hold on by controlling the amount of aurors, but all of them were crushed to death by their own fists before they could stand.
Grumbling.
Cheolgwi approached Baek Woo-jin, waving his fingers like spider legs.
-There is no need to listen to what he says. Focus on your sword.
Baek Woo-jin nodded slightly and put his will and the techniques of the sword into the blade of the Amin Sword. A thin stream of steel bloomed like glass from the blade.
“You idiot!”
Cheolgwi kicked the ground and stretched out his fist. The blow spread like a wave and was aimed at Baek Woo-jin’s head. Even if you defended yourself with auras, it was so powerful that your head would be broken.
“Haa…”
Baek Woo-jin let out a light breath and struck down the Dark Sword. There was no tension. It was a natural sword path like flowing water.
Whoops!
However, the power of strong energy was beyond natural. Baek Woo-jin’s strength was not pushed away even in the face of Cheolgwi’s power to break the marriage.
“What…”
A question appeared in Cheolgwi’s eyes. Even though he showed his power to break the marriage, Baek Woo-jin’s strength did not dissipate.
No, it was scattered. However, as if time had gone back, they came together again.
“What did you do!”
Cheolgwi frowned and rushed towards Baek Woo-jin. I couldn’t believe that the power of breaking the marriage couldn’t break the strength.
“Not yet…”
Baek Woo-jin stepped back and ate his appetite.
“It’s still not enough.”
I didn’t even care about Iron Demon’s anger. It was difficult to put one’s will into the sword. I had to focus even more.
-Focus only on yourself.
Baek Woo-jin took the darkness’s advice to heart and leapt forward. Instead of avoiding close combat with Cheolgwi, he fought back.
Okay! Awesome!
Cheolgwi used his strength to block the power of breaking the marriage that exploded like a firecracker.
When the strong energy dispersed, the will to cut down the enemy and the mastery of the sword were used to create stronger and sharper strong energy.
“How far are you going to struggle!”
Cheolgwi gritted his teeth and thrust his fists in succession. Because it was a primitive punch, its power was terrifying.
Cheer ring!
Baek Woo-jin slashed his sword towards Cheolgwi’s huge fist. It didn’t back down at all and hung on until the end.
Okay! Damn it!
Every time my sword and fist collided, I felt a stomach-churning shock. However, I gathered my heart and will and threw my sword.
I endured this battle with the thought that each and every collision would become flesh and blood.
Quang! Quaaaang!
The sound of Baek Woo-jin’s sword and Cheolgwi’s fist colliding was no longer the impact sound of metal clashing with metal. A loud noise like a shell exploding between the sword and the fist
erupted. ‘Sharper! Be sharper so you can cut that energy!’
Baek Woo-jin focused on his inner self and honed his strength.
Just as a blacksmith hammers heated iron into a sword, the will that was fueled by the battle with the Iron Demon was put into the sword, step by step.
-From the beginning, you thought about the meaning and will of the sword and learned the sword. Put that into your sword.
‘From the beginning?’
-okay. From the moment you started basic swordsmanship, didn’t you incorporate the techniques of the sword into it? It’s like that. Unleash your will on the sword as if you were wielding a sword.
‘The will to cut, the trick of the sword…’
Baek Woo-jin leaped forward, clutching the dark sword tightly while muttering the advice of the darkness.
“You rat!”
The power to break the spirit flowed from Iron Demon’s fist like a wave. It felt like my bones would be crushed and my flesh would explode if I touched just one stem.
Chaaaang!
Baek Woo-jin ran towards the visible power of the Iron Ghost that had risen and put the Amin Sword into its scabbard.
He lowered his posture and drew his sword once again.
Quaaaaa!
This is the second Black King bullet to be fired. However, the will and momentum contained within it was on a different level from the first time.
Okay.
Baek Woo-jin’s dark sword and Iron Demon’s fist collided, and a completely different sound was heard from any collision that had occurred so far. It was a strange sound, like cutting paper with scissors.
“….”
Cheolgwi looked at his right hand with mesmerized eyes. Although it was subtle, the middle part of the gauntlet was cut.
‘How…’
His whole body was surrounded by the power to break the engagement, and he had also developed the mental strength to maintain that power. I couldn’t believe that my gauntlet was cut by such clumsy force.
“You brat!”
Cheolgwi was furious and glared at Baek Woo-jin as if he were going to kill him.
Teuong!
Baek Woo-jin did not even appreciate the cut of Cheolgwi’s gauntlet. As if it was no big deal, he charged at Cheolgwi with his sword pointed at him.
“die!”
Cheolgwi filled his fist with the power to destroy Baek Woo-jin and struck Baek Woo-jin’s sword. I was planning to break Baek Woo-jin’s strength and sword at the same time.
Sigh!
But this time, a different sound was heard than Cheolgwi expected. A horrifying cutting sound spread throughout the son-in-law, and red blood flowed from Cheolgwi’s left fist.
“What is this…”
Cheolgwi widened his eyes as he saw drops of his own blood falling to the ground.
I put more power into my fist, but my gauntlet was torn and I suffered even bigger injuries. I couldn’t understand what was happening.
“What on earth have you done!”
It didn’t make sense. Until a little while ago, he was a kid who only tried to fight as an Auror.
But now, his sword contained strong will and mental power to support him. He had a clear will to cut himself and his mental strength was unbelievably strong.
“Whew…”
Baek Woo-jin maintained his concentration without paying attention to Cheol-gwi’s wounds. I was finally getting the hang of it, but there was no time to think about anything else.
‘I’m not the only one.’
Putting one’s will into a sword does not mean swinging the sword alone like before.
He had to use his mental power to match the sword’s will with his own will and incorporate the sword’s techniques within it.
-The will of the sword, the art of the sword, and the aura containing the rank you have accumulated must be in harmony to achieve what you desire. Sharpen your concentration even more.
‘okay.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded. His eyes and the strong flame burning the blade of the Dark Sword began to take on the same color.
“That doesn’t make sense…”
Cheolgwi’s voice trembled like an aspen tree. It was natural. Because it was something no one expected to achieve such progress in such a short moment.
Crash.
Iron Ghost bit his molars and raised all his fighting spirit and aura. Due to the opaque power of destruction unleashed, his surroundings began to appear distorted as if fog had formed.
“I’ll kill you!”
There was no more leisure in Cheolgwi’s voice.
‘You shouldn’t give that guy the time of day.’
There was no way to know what would happen if Baek Woo-jin was given time. I had to kill him as quickly as possible before I put more strength into my sword.
Quang!
The iron ghost that disappeared after collapsing the ground appeared behind Baek Woo-jin. He shot out both fists like awls and aimed at Baek Woo-jin’s heart.
Chiiing!
Baek Woo-jin naturally turned his body and struck Muryeongcham as if he knew.
Coo coo coo coo!
Cheolgwi’s movements did not slow down even in the midst of the heaviness that felt as if the sky was collapsing.
Kwaaaaang!
The earth collapsed with a loud noise that burst the eardrums.
In the pit where they landed, there was Baek Woo-jin, who had been pushed back, and Cheol-gwi, who was standing still.
The person who was pushed back was Baek Woo-jin, but the person with a stiff expression was Cheol-gwi.
Toouk.
The gauntlet covering Iron Demon’s hand was split in half, and bright red blood flowed from it.
Baek Woo-jin broke through Gangi’s power to break the spirit and cut down Cheolgwi’s gauntlet and even his fist.
“Whoa….”
Baek Woo-jin let out a rough breath and shook off his sword. A small smile appeared on his lips.
-Even though you were pushed away, you clearly put your will into the sword. Congratulations on stepping into the intermediate level of Kang Ki-ji-gyeong. Of course, it’s still sloppy.
Darkness pretended to be calm and praised Baek Woo-jin, but inside he was in a state of extreme shock.
‘You monster!’
Even if I had given him a hint to get to the intermediate level of Kang Ki Ji-gyeong, I never thought he would accept it so quickly.
I tried to force him to catch me when it was dangerous, but at this rate, there was no need for that.
He was truly a monster when it came to concentration and mental power.
“You exceeded my mental power?”
Cheolgwi shook his fist. The power to break a marriage is a power that becomes stronger based on one’s mental power. The fact that he broke it meant that the young guy’s mental strength was superior to his.
I couldn’t believe it, but the bleeding wounds proved it.
“If it goes like this…”
Cheolgwi tore his jacket. His body was tightly knit, as if it had been trained for decades, but that wasn’t what was important.
There was an unknown red gem embedded in the left chest, where Cheolgwi’s heart was beating.
“That’s…”
“One defeat is enough for this Lieutenant Emperor in his life. “Kaaaa!”
The iron demon howled like an animal and struck the jewel embedded in its left chest.
With a thumping sound, the jewel was embedded deep in the chest, and red energy exploded from within.
“speculation!”
-That guy was using speculation with that thing!
The evidence was that as soon as that jewel was embedded in the body, it displayed such fighting spirit. That monster was using its power using that jewel.
Quaaaaa!
The power created by jewels was not limited to speculation. Iron Demon’s blue aura also vomited out.
Aura and speculation mixed together, and the power of destruction covering Iron Demon’s body became nearly twice as large as before.
Kwaaaaang!
Just by Cheolgwi lightly waving his hand, the surrounding area became ruins as if hit by a storm. It was a sight that sent shivers down my spine just by looking at it.
“I’ll burst you like a bug!”
Cheolgwi poured all of his power to break the spirit into his right fist. The ground seemed to vibrate and shake and the space was distorted.
-hey. That’s still…
‘I know.’
Baek Woo-jin put the dark sword into its sheath and grabbed the black sword. The darkness was twisted like a thread, and the blade of darkness rose long.
‘That’s not something to be stubborn about.’
The desired growth has already been achieved. Anything more than this was greed.
‘I also want to see how Cheonui has changed.’
The Heavenly Cloth used together with Darkness is an aura that becomes stronger as the other grows. Now that I’ve reached the intermediate level of Kang Ki Ji-gyeong, I wanted to see how things have changed.
“Disappear with this land!”
The iron ghost soared into the air. He fired the huge power of destruction built up in his right fist towards Baek Woo-jin.
It was an attack with a desperate will to erase this land and Baek Woo-jin at once.
Wow.
Baek Woo-jin gritted his teeth. Even though it wasn’t touching, the wind pressure alone was enough to make my breath suffocate and my skin ache.
I felt like I would faint even if I lost my mind even a little from the force that that monster was giving off.
“Whoa…”
Baek Woo-jin caught his breath and felt the energy of darkness.
He gave his will to darkness and received its will.
Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am no longer shared only each other’s energy.
The sword and the human will resonated, and a magnificent sword burned into the sky above the blade of darkness.
Quaaaaa!
The fist thrown by the iron ghost fell like a meteorite. It was a terrifying energy that could completely destroy this entire land.
Baek Woo-jin brought down the vast light created with the darkness towards Cheolgwi.
[Baek Woo-jin and the darkness’s first sword, Heavenly Will, is activated.]
Quaaaaang!
The falling blows and surging sword strikes collided.
The battle between Baek Woo-jin and Cheolgwi was a fight in which they held the handle of mental power and competed with the blade of will.
Although the two men’s mental strength was a match, the winner had already been decided.
Baek Woo-jin had a magical sword called Heukam.
The sword and the human became one, and a blazing fire covered the sky.
Sigh!
The brilliance of heavenly righteousness unfolding from the blade of the sword of darkness cut through the iron demon’s fist and even cut down the sky.
The dull clouds parted and the closed sunlight illuminated the land where the battle had ended.
Coo!
Cheolgwi, whose entire right shoulder was blown off, was unable to control his body and fell.
“Cough!”
Cheolgwi’s face, which was coughing up blood, was full of wrinkles. This one battle made him look as if 30 years had passed.
“The last sword…”
Not only his appearance but also Cheolgwi’s loud voice was weak. Even at this moment, he was walking towards death.
“What is the name of the last sword?”
“Cheonui.”
“It’s heaven’s will, so it fits perfectly.”
Cheolgwi chuckled even while coughing up blood. It was a laugh that seemed self-mocking.
“…It is a reaction that caused speculation to run rampant. “It was something that could not be helped since it was not a power allowed to humans.”
Cheolgwi chuckled as he looked at the jewel sucking the life force from his left chest.
“Is this an ability you received from Zeno?”
“I guess you knew.”
“There are few places where someone like you can be.”
The man in front of him was strong enough to be brutal. Zeno was the only place that had someone with that level of force and whose identity was not properly known.
“The title of emperor for a young monster. I thought they all didn’t fit together, but now I see that even that isn’t enough. I’m jealous. “That youth, that talent, that confidence…”
Cheolgwi laid his head on the ground with a defeated smile.
“Watch out for Kim Nam-gil. “Because he is a monster that has reached perfection.”
“Kim Nam-gil?”
“He is Zenon’s master.”
Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes. He stayed quiet because he thought threats and torture would be useless, but he never thought he would say Zeno’s master’s name on his own.
“Why did you tell me that?”
“Because it’s time to die. “My head became clearer.”
“what?”
“I am a very ugly person. “I went crazy with jealousy over talent and lived a dirty life, sucking the life force out of other talented people.”
-I see. It was about speculation using the life force of other humans.
“No matter how much Kim Nam-gil incited me, it doesn’t change the fact that I was a monster. So, I wanted to do it my way until the end.”
Cheolgwi’s voice began to break.
“If only I had made a different choice at that time…”
Cheolgwi lost his breath without being able to say the last word. However, Baek Woo-jin seemed to know what he wanted to say.
“It’s more surprising than I thought that Zenon’s master was Korean.”
The name of Zeno’s master was shrouded in mystery. If you leave your nationality and name to the black market, anything will come out.
Coo coo coo coo!
When Baek Woo-jin tried to contact Yoo Jin-ah, the ground began to shake. Not just the land he was on, but the entire forest shook.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Something elongated rising from behind Baek Woo-jin blocked the sun.
“The guests were fighting noisily, so it was time for the owner to come out.”
Baek Woo-jin looked back and smiled.
