A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 192
Junction of Fate (4)
There is a place called ‘the place closest to God’. This place, which was once the sanctuary of St. Benedis, boasted a unique season of thunder and lightning all year round, even though it was not very high in altitude.
However, this place was no longer called a sanctuary, and the cathedral that was built had long since been abandoned, so there was only one believer who still remained to pray.
A woman who was once a saint, but has now been stripped of that status.
“Ah ah ah ah ah… … why… … ?”
Rumbling… !!
Lightning strikes. But lightning cannot damage the cathedral. She was clasping her face in her hands, looking up at the flashing sky.
“why? Why? “What’s wrong?”
Previously, at the cost of her own life, she slightly adjusted the course of Chorien’s destiny. She intended to share in the child’s fate, as Chorien had intercepted something that Harang had had to do.
But the plan turned strange.
Harang was clearly not doing anything, just following his fate… … Other fates gathering around them keep interfering with Chorien!
It was as if the sky was warning me that fate could never be intercepted.
Harang seemed to be once again firmly engraving himself in the fact that he must accept this fate.
“Why, why are the people around me interfering and disturbing Chorien for no reason? If you just stay still, everyone will be fine. why… … ? “Can’t stupid people even see this?”
She hit her forehead against the wall.
thud! thud! Blood flowed from her forehead, but the saint did not stop. After giving her all, she was going crazy because nothing was going as she planned.
“… … No, there is one last way.”
Then, suddenly, the saint smiled.
“All I have to do is seduce that child myself.”
Chorien. It appears in the child’s dream and shows the future.
The sight of it being covered by Harang and withering away without being able to shine. The ugly future of one day being completely overtaken by swordsmanship and chasing his tail forever.
So, it forces you to make your own choices.
“… … “If you do that, nothing will be able to get in your way.”
Although this method would make Chorien’s future even more miserable because he was directly interfering with fate, who cares?
Whatever happens to her, it doesn’t really matter to the saint.
“good… … “I must see Archduke Alsov.”
She quickly got up and checked her face using the broken window as a mirror. As she hums, wiping away her blood as if fixing her makeup, how can she not see her own expression, distorted like a demon?
In the end, the saint left the church without even being able to see what she looked like.
* * *
As soon as Harang was released and returned after three months in solitary confinement, Manryugam Manwoorim personally came and spoke to him.
“I will apply for a ‘peddler’s license’ from you.”
Peddler’s decision. It is a type of duel between swordsmen that Chorien received a while ago, in which swordsmen of different levels duel using only their swords and auras, excluding swords and aurors.
But Harang, who received the duel, shook his head.
“I appreciate your consideration in applying for the peddlership since my level is low, but I would like to personally check the skills of the famous Manryu Sword. How about ‘Knight’s Duel’ where Aurors can be used?”
“… … !”
Manwoorim looked slightly surprised at Harang’s bold words, but then smiled. As a Daoist, I was reluctant to challenge an opponent to a formal duel with a low level of skill, so I was reluctant to do so, but if he said so himself, I would welcome him with open arms.
“Okay, good. “I also really want to see what the famous swordsmanship of Kaladun feels like.”
“… … .”
Harang was smiling with his lips, but not with his eyes. No one noticed the anger calming down around him. This may be because he was so good at controlling his emotions.
“The date is in a week. … … “I’ll do it when the moon is full.”
Taiwan month? That day, which came once every few years, was famous for the energy of the sky being wide open and the mana in the air swirling.
It was also a day to tell low-level wizards to ban magic, and of course, Seongi would also be dizzy.
I don’t know why they decided to have a duel on such a day, but for Harang, it’s welcome.
Because he was confident that he could perfectly control his aurors in any environment.
“great.”
The date of the duel begins a week later, at the training ground in Cheonsang-dong on the day of the full moon.
When Manwoolim, who had made an appointment, returned, Harang was the first to go to Chorien.
Chorien, who had not yet been discharged from the hospital because of the severe wounds he received that day, still had bandages wrapped all over his body.
“How could it be to this extent…?” … .”
“Did you get hit?”
“… … !”
While Harang was muttering, an off-white voice came from next to him.
It was Avalanche, a wolf spirit creature.
“I wonder that too.”
“Avalanche… … Do you know anything? There’s something a little strange here. “Chorien is not a child so weak that he was treated so cruelly.”
“I know. “That kid’s swordsmanship is as good as yours.”
“… … “Right now, maybe your swordsmanship is better than mine.”
“Do you mean to judge it that way? It’s even weirder after hearing it that way… … “I also heard that there was a fight between the kid from Emblitz and the Manryu Sword, so I went to see it.”
“What happened?”
“But isn’t he being dishonest that day? As a result, I was beaten up without being able to do anything. Did you get beaten up for about 5 minutes? Only then did they decide something was wrong and the duel was stopped, but it had already ended up like this.”
“I was beaten up without being able to do anything… … .”
Does that make sense?
I don’t know how superior the Manurien is, but even if a decent 7-star swordsman comes, they won’t be able to unilaterally suppress Chorien that much if they don’t use Aurors.
There is something.
Something prevented Chorien from using his strength properly that day, and he was defeated so helplessly.
I couldn’t help but think that way.
‘Did you do some trickery?’
I’m not sure. It was an dishonorable act for a knight to frame him as a manipulator without any evidence.
I didn’t really want to gain honor as a knight… … .
“… … !”
When I thought about it like that, my mind cleared up. If she did that to Chorien, isn’t she likely to do the same to herself?
Then the story becomes simpler.
“Shall I investigate a little more? Well, something like poison. There’s no way the Taoist monks did that, but they may have applied a slight weakening curse. “It’s the specialty of the old school people.”
“no. “If the Avalanche goes around irritatingly, they won’t get a good look.”
If you do it that way, they will actually hide the evidence. Because Avalanche had too much of a presence to investigate anything. All the Taoists in the Heavenly Palace focus on his every move.
In that case, it would be better for Harang to get caught in Manwoorim’s manipulations and secure evidence.
“The investigation is fine, but I would like you to watch me duel.”
“That’s natural. At that time, I watched it without thinking while drinking makgeolli… … .”
“I don’t mind if you do that this time too.”
Just having the Avalanche there is already solid insurance.
Just because of his presence, you won’t be able to do excessive manipulation.
Wow!
“Manu Forest… … “I will never forgive you.”
As Harang left after muttering that, Chorien’s eyebrows twitched slightly. However, Avalanche did not notice the change and shrugged her shoulders, turning into a cloud and disappearing.
“eww… … .”
Chorien, who remained in his seat, was sweating coldly in pain.
* * *
Chorien, she was defeated.
She lived her life unaware of defeat, but after coming to Heavenly Palace, she somehow became accustomed to defeat.
I was challenged to a duel between the strong and lost, and lost again. After losing like that, losing has now become very natural.
‘I always lose. So you lose.’
Chorien in the dream looked shabby.
The gorgeous and bright genius girl could no longer be seen.
Broken and ruined here and there. I was hurt, torn, and suddenly 10 years had passed.
Chorien hastily looked back on the 10 years that had passed by in the blink of an eye.
‘ah… … !’
It was hideous. Because she had always been defeated, her face was covered with scars and wounds, and all of her beautiful hair had been pulled out, leaving her sparsely bald.
A long scar remained on her arm, making it impossible for her to hold a sword properly, and no one even remembered the name Chorien anymore, so everyone who passed by just laughed at her.
‘That is your future, Chorien.’
A voice came from somewhere. Chorien hurriedly looked back. Nothing existed.
‘You are destined to continue to be defeated by Harang and then be forgotten one day.’
Dear Confucius? Chorien’s heart sank.
Yes, that’s right.
I ended up like this because I lost to Harang every time.
‘They say he’s the world’s greatest genius?’
‘Tsk, tsk, that’s all a thing of the past.’
‘It’s funny. ‘He lived his life thinking he was the best, and he looked good.’
‘The world’s greatest genius who can’t even beat that little boy from Caladon?’
‘This is ridiculous, haha!’
‘Ha ha ha ha ha!’
‘Kkkkkkk!’
‘Hahaha!’
Chorien covered his ears as he heard ridicule coming from all over the place. But that hideous sneer was engraved in her mind and kept leaking in even when she covered her ears and closed her eyes.
‘I hope that doesn’t happen?’
Stand tall! The ridicule stopped at some point.
Chorien hurriedly raised his head. When she looked in the mirror, she saw herself back in time 10 years ago, and she was fine without a single wound or scar.
I didn’t know what defeat was… … A genius girl, back to those days.
‘Then, choose. You are taking away Harang’s fate.’
‘Fate… … ‘Take it away?’
‘It’s very simple. As long as you do as I say, Harang’s bright future will be yours.’
Before I knew it, there was a huge full moon in the dream world. It was the ‘Taiwan Moon’, a unique phenomenon that comes once every few years.
The moment he saw it, Chorien woke up from his dream.
“Huh! omg! “Huh!”
My whole body was wet with cold sweat. She hurriedly touched her face with both hands. There were no scars on her, just bandages wrapped around her.
“ah… … .”
Bandage, i.e. wound. These will gradually increase in the future as defeats accumulate. 10 years from now, you will look very terrible… … .
“Ugh… … .”
She cupped her face.
Someone’s whisper.
I don’t know who it was, but it shook Chorien’s heart very much.
“I am… … .”
That night, the girl couldn’t sleep and thought about her dream for a long time.
Not even knowing that the person who was once called a saint was watching this with amusement.
‘Hehe, do you think you can escape that dream?’
The moment when the saintess who was so confident slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
“What the hell kind of dream is this!”
Chorien slapped himself on the cheek. The saintly woman’s cheeks, who were watching the situation telepathically from afar with him, also curved to her side as if she were in great shock.
‘Ugh… … ?!’
“Am I going to fail in the future? That can’t be possible. “I have always been good, and I will always be good later!”
‘… … What, what?’
As a saint who had lived with an unclean heart all her life, I could not understand at all.
Even at the cost of sacrificing part of his life, he drew a picture of an unholy future and showed it to him.
You kicked it away after less than five minutes?
how? How?
Question marks filled the saint’s mind, but there was no time to resolve them.
“Cough!”
He must have suffered an internal injury, because red blood started leaking from his mouth!
The shock was bound to be even greater because the attempt to manipulate the fate and fail failed.
“Oh my… … .”
Her arms became thinner and more wrinkled, as if she was getting older.
“Save me… … .”
dump!
She was a saint who stretched out her hand into the air, but passed out on the spot without being able to ask for help anywhere.
The price for daring to change the fate of heaven was truly terrible.
It was as if the gods were warning her.
Don’t mess with human fate carelessly… … .
