Heavenly Palace (4)
Chorien ran quickly towards the lodgings in Mud-dong. As I ran, trampling on rocky peaks and sliding down steep cliffs, I saw old houses huddled together at the foot of the waterfall. It looked very similar to the lodging that Chorien had used just a month ago.
“Eh, already?”
Chorien knew he was one step too late. This is because large young men and boys were crowding around Harang’s lodgings.
Chorien, who was hiding behind a rock between the river flowing under the cliff, looked at the young man’s face and looked surprised.
“Ban Gion… … !”
It was a familiar face.
Even when Chorien first came here, he was a vicious trainee who invaded the dormitory at the thought of a new welcome ceremony.
As far as she knew, Ban Gion was never at the level of a white uniform. She was known to have handled Seongi at the next level, the gray gi level, and had achieved 6 stars in swordsmanship as a black and red belt.
‘Ugh, that damn bastard. Are you trying to harass Master Harang too?’
Chorien took out a wooden sword from his pocket, but his hands were shaking slightly.
Memories of being beaten with a wooden sword by Mailen, the fox-like woman smiling behind Ban Gion, came to me.
She was also a 6-star powerhouse, and was by no means a low-level trainee to be here.
‘Now that I see it… … They deliberately came to us dressed in uniforms and harassed us because they said we were from a famous swordsman on earth.’
Pop! Anger welled up, but her current level was only 5 stars. If you attack them for no reason, you will be beaten without a word.
If the entire Emblitz family poured out all their might, they could easily defeat Heavenly Palace, but they refused to do so, saying it was not the ‘knight’s duty’.
The Heavenly Palace has long been a sacred and inviolable territory since the Demon War 500 years ago, and even a strange creed arose, such as the belief that knight trainees on earth are not qualified to be knights if they cannot endure even one of the absurdities of this place.
‘Ugh, if it weren’t for my grandfather’s words, who said that if you can’t endure this level of hardship, you don’t deserve to be a knight… … .’
This is not the time. I have to do whatever it takes to help Harang somehow. No matter how severe the absurdity is, if you bring in instructors, it can be prevented to some extent.
‘We need to bring the masters…’ … !’
Chorien, who was about to jump out of his seat with that thought, shook his head.
‘No, it’s too late!’
Ban Gion has already entered the dormitory. If other senior trainees were to join in that situation, Harang would be in a terrible state.
You can’t leave it like that from day one.
Her own strength might not be of much help, but it was the right time to step forward!
“Hey, really!”
Whilick!
Chorien, who rose high into the air, landed in front of the senior practitioners and shouted.
“Wait, wait… … !”
No, I tried to shout.
The wall of the dorm shattered and something flew out, rendering her speechless.
“W-what… … ?!”
Chorien was startled and stepped aside. Senior trainees were equally surprised. No matter how much discipline a rookie from a master swordsman must have, wasn’t this a bit too harsh?
However, something was strange.
The size of Harang was quite small even here, but for some reason, it felt like the size of something that had been blown away was quite large.
At that time, a boy came out between the broken walls.
“Ha, ha, Prince?”
Chorien’s foolish shout made the senior practitioners’ heads turn towards something that had been blown away.
“Ban Gion!”
Its identity is none other than Ban Gion. Of course I thought it was Harang, but with one strike, he destroyed the wall and fell to the floor, fainting!
“you… … What did you do? “They say they learned magic on earth, so they must have used some strange tricks!”
Maylen clenched her teeth and pulled out her sword. Since she could not use the true sword except during a duel, it was still a wooden sword, but as the fierce strength was added on top of it, it became a level that could never be ignored.
That’s a serious problem, and it wasn’t your problem! It was so dangerous that if you got cut, you could get fatally injured or even die.
“Now, wait a minute! “It’s too dangerous!”
Chorien, who was shouting like that, suddenly instinctively whispered.
‘Is it really dangerous?’
Yes.
Who was the person who knocked Ban Gion out with a single blow just now? Could it be that another hermit is hiding in that old lodging?
This is what Harang did.
It was definitely true.
‘Come to think of it… … !’
A memory that suddenly comes to mind again.
Before she came up to the Heavenly Palace, she had heard some news that had spread widely around the world.
It was news that Harang Paul Calladun had achieved 6 stars at the age of 16!
It was a story that had such huge ramifications around the world, but has it not reached here yet?
Wooooow-!!
“W-what!”
“I unleashed my strength without any preparation!”
“Nonsense.”
“no way… … “6-star knight?”
The trainees were startled and took a step back. Some of them were openly wearing gray uniforms with red belts or higher, meaning that most of them were 4-5 stars and knew some level of Taoism.
It was certainly true that they were outstanding talents, but the talent of Harang, who achieved 6 stars in his mid-teens, was beyond shocking and almost terrifying.
“How did you… … .”
Even Mailen, who had been so powerful after defeating Chorien just moments ago, was so surprised that he took a step back.
“Uh, isn’t there something we should do?”
“accident! No, this guy is unusual!”
“I know!”
Mailen shouted nervously, slowly holding the wooden sword with both hands and circling the training ground with eyes full of alertness.
Harang looked at her and tilted his head.
‘What are you doing?’
Such a small question.
“Yayap!!”
At the same time, Mailen rushed at him with all his might, and Harang’s eyes grew even wider.
‘what?’
Boom… … !!
The tip of Mailen’s sword flew at a speed close to the speed of sound, all the way to Harang’s forehead. However, Harang still did not stop thinking and thought.
‘… … ‘It’s so monotonous and slow?’
This is 6 stars? That can’t be possible. There must be some trick.
You should never let down your tension towards the other person! Harang thought so and desperately raised his sword to block.
Thump-!!
Although she blocked it with her sword, Maylen smiled at the feeling of a heavy blow landing properly.
‘Once more!’
Mailen swings his sword sharply again.
She also achieved the level of 6 stars in her 20s and gained countless experiences, so she could easily know how Harang would respond.
‘You’ll either point your sword at the upper middle, or step back, right? If you even step aside, it’s your defeat!’
Anyway, the number of moves Harang can take is at most three. It was Mailen who was planning on linking the attack right away, no matter how she responded.
Stand tall!
“… … uh?”
When the swinging sword stopped, my eyes widened.
‘what… … ?’
The distance between them and Harang was still the length of their arms and their swords combined, and the range was barely enough for the tips of their wooden swords to touch each other.
It is said that range is important in a sword-to-sword battle, but it is not fatal in a battle between strong players of 4 stars or higher.
The tip of Mailen’s sword was definitely aiming for Harang’s head, but it stopped just before that and had no intention of going any further.
‘The range is out of range?’
no. That’s not it.
He could no longer extend his sword.
The act of turning her gaze elsewhere with the enemy in front of her was tantamount to suicide, but she had no choice but to lower her head.
“What… … ?”
There was Harang’s wooden sword near his forearm. To be more precise, Harang’s wooden sword was holding on with the tip of the nose under the blade of Mailen’s wooden sword.
The nose under the blade. It is a minimal device to protect the hand from the blade, and is also a part often used for defense when clashing swords with an opponent.
but… … The idea of blocking the opponent’s sword from advancing by stabbing this part has never crossed my mind once in my life.
Even if he stabbed vaguely, his balance would have been lost and the attack would have been hit, but Harang distributed his power accurately and held on, blocking Maylen’s sword from advancing as if it were blocked by a wall.
“this… … !”
Even though Maylen tried to apply force, Harang changed the distribution of force accordingly. The moment she pulled out her wooden sword and stepped back, Harang rushed at her like a ghost and aimed his sword at her Mailen’s neck.
“… … “I lost.”
In the end, Mailen admitted defeat by dropping the wooden sword on the floor. She couldn’t even demonstrate the Heavenly Palace’s unique Taoist sword techniques.
Even though we only divided the basic swordsmanship into three sets, the difference was such an overwhelming difference!
At this level, it was impossible to criticize him for using a unique arcane sword technique brought from the ground.
“Let’s go back. I’m not even dressed properly yet. What are you doing? “The level of Heavenly Palace is quite understandable.”
When Harang said this while sharpening a wooden sword, the senior practitioners looked angry.
“… … Even though I lost now, nothing good will happen if I keep acting like that in the future. “I know your swordsmanship is great, but what’s important here is swordsmanship.”
“I came here to learn that, and it worked out well.”
Harang shook his head.
Taoism, Taoism. The words sound flashy, but in reality, there is nothing special about it. If Taoism had been a great skill, there would have been many Taoists on earth, and it would have become a major discipline along with magic.
What could be the reason for not doing so?
In terms of Taoism alone, at most it involves blowing wind, creating illusions, walking in the air, or moving quickly over long distances.
Those were only possible when one’s Taoism reached a very high level, and when viewed individually, they were not that threatening.
Would the Heavenly Palace combine martial arts with swordsmanship for no reason and call it ‘taoism’?
Taoism was just a very small means to help with swordsmanship.
When you swing your sword, the wind blows a little more, or it creates clouds to blur the opponent’s vision… … .
I was curious about Taoism, but for that reason I had no particular desire to learn it.
“It would be best not to ignore Taoism.”
However, their thoughts seemed to be different. The Fairy Constellation, who can be said to have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, has reached the level of controlling the weather and sending down thunderstorms, so Taoist arts are thought to be the best strategy in the world.
No one knows that once you reach the 10th level, you can achieve that level even without learning Taoist arts.
‘A frog in the well.’
It felt exactly like that.
Harang couldn’t help but feel disappointed about Heavenly Palace. My heart pounded at the thought of meeting and competing with strong people who used their own methods of martial arts, but if the 6-star level was this high, what would it be like below that?
‘Is there something different about having to be 7 stars or higher?’
As the senior trainees withdrew, Chorien, who had been watching, hurriedly rushed towards Harang, who was entering the dormitory.
“Now, just a moment, Confucius!”
It was a bit awkward to block his path, so she quietly followed to the side and Harang stopped and looked at her.
“… … Chorien Emblitz.”
“Well, you recognize me!”
“know. “Because there won’t be a swordsman with gray hair as pretty as you anywhere.”
“thank you! But now I’m so ugly, am I really pretty?”
“Honestly…” … .”
“Oh, no. “There is no need to be honest.”
She wanted to cover her face. As an adolescent girl, she only wanted to show her pretty side to the boy she admired, but her face got disfigured while receiving duel challenges here and there.
Harang sighed and handed her the ointment he brought from the ground.
“Take this. That kind of scar will disappear quickly. “Have you received anything from your family?”
“… … .”
Chorien, who had been applying the ointment with sparkling eyes, quickly became sullen. Even if you didn’t watch it, it was a video.
‘Everything was taken away.’
Harang shook his head and said as he entered the dormitory.
“Follow me. “I’ll give you some.”
“Thank you!”
When she came running in smiling brightly, Harang chuckled.
‘It would be right to be cautious about Emblitz, but… … ‘I don’t think she’s a bad woman by nature.’
When Harang was in danger of being attacked by senior trainees, he rushed to her without any power to protect him, so he is not an evil person by nature.
Because a person’s true nature is revealed not when a person has free time, but when he has free time.
‘But somehow, I feel strangely ominous… … .’
Chorien was definitely a good person, but just having him around stimulated Harang’s sixth sense.
As if my instincts were warning me that this should not be the case.
‘What on earth?’
There was no way to know right now.
