Episode 13 – The Sword of the Knight

Fear spreads and spreads like an epidemic.

Those who were consumed by fear could not easily attack me.

Even the most advanced unmanned force is nothing more than prey when consumed by fear.

There were a lot of them, but in the end, they were just numbers.

This makes it easier to deal with.

But unfortunately, things didn’t go as I wanted.

“Everyone, wake up! This isn’t some third-rate warrior! This is someone who has properly learned martial arts!”

Namgung Hyuk’s screams filled the cave.

The shout filled with inner strength instantly awakened the minds of those who were consumed by fear.

The fear that had consumed my mind was instantly removed.

The fear that had been consuming me had turned into anger, and it was spewing out a sinister murderous aura towards me.

In an instant, they began to surround me in a circle.

Now even the escape route is blocked.

Song of the Four Sides of Chu.

Long ago, during the Battle of Haeha, was this what the overlord felt like?

Of course, the situation is not exactly the same as that of the Overlord.

Unlike the tyrant, I was pouring out a genuine killing intent from all directions rather than singing.

“Cover!”

Along with Namgung Hyuk’s shout, the men rushed in at once.

The momentum of the guys coming from all sides.

Chae-ae-aeng!

Dozens of swords stabbing me from all sides, crushing and pressuring me.

It pours down as if it will tear me apart at any moment.

It is impossible to create a gap here.

So, you have to accept them and let them flow.

I re-tightened my sword.

I faced the dozens of swords that were coming at me one by one.

And the shamanist sect’s opening investigator, Hyun Hyeon-ja (玄玄子) Jang Sam-bong.

I recall his teachings in my head.

[The flowing sword is a sword that contains the essence of the Supreme Ultimate.

Taegeuk is the process of all creation and change itself.

It conforms to the laws of nature and contains the essence of such things and the laws of circulation.

Like flowing water, like fallen leaves blowing in the wind.

Chaeng! Chaeng!

My sword naturally follows the path it should take and flows accordingly.

“Hey, you bastard···!”

“How could this be···!”

The drones that were rushing in are startled and faint.

He is able to receive and deflect swords that stab and cut from all sides.

However, not all swords are accepted and thrown away.

Chahak!

The sword I couldn’t block rips my side.

Blood gushed out from his torn side.

···There are limits.

I haven’t mastered the flowing sword properly.

Far from being enlightened, we have only just taken the first step.

You can’t just accept it.

Chae-Ang!

Strike off the sword you received. Take a deep breath.

At the same time, the founder of the Jeonjin religion, Emperor Bogeuk, Wang Zhongyang.

His teachings pass through my mind.

[A heavy sword is a sword that contains heaviness.

That heaviness is none other than the weight of the heart.

Youngest, put your heart into the sword.

[The heavy sword of Jongnam is that your heart touches the world that makes you, and you become the world.]

My swung sword extends out with the momentum to cut through anything.

Kwaaaaang!

Dozens of blades that were coming at me suddenly fly out.

The heaviness contained in my sword.

Unable to overcome it, they are instead overwhelmed.

Taking advantage of that gap, my sword moves again.

With that, one by one, the bastards fell down, spitting out blood.

One more time.

Wang Zhongyang’s teachings flash through my mind.

[Next, the Kwaigeom (快劍) is a sword that pursues extreme speed.

The stab of the point spear that cannot even keep up with the senses is everything of the quick sword that shoots down even the sun.]

A single sword shot toward the sun, Saeil (射日).

He raised his sword forward and crouched down as if drawing a bowstring.

The target is Namgung Hyuk.

My body pierces the front like a lightning bolt.

* * *

Namgung Hyuk couldn’t understand the current situation.

It would be more accurate to say that I can’t believe it rather than understand it.

The appearance of Cheongun, who does not yield even under the pressure of dozens of unmanned forces.

No, the martial arts of Cheongun are not only not yielding, but are also trampling on it.

Create a gap to escape, gain strength, and break the formation.

Every single person gathered here is a warrior from Horonggwan.

These are the martial artists who learned the martial arts of Namgung Se-ga.

Even if you are a first-class expert, you won’t be easily defeated.

“But, how···!”

That makes no sense.

That’s just…!

“What the heck is this···!”

The shock does not subside.

In the midst of such shock.

Suddenly, Cheongun’s sword shoots towards Namgung Hyuk.

Kwaaaa …

The Sword of Cheongun that shoots at a speed comparable to that of an island.

Namgung Hyuk quickly raised his sword and struck Cheongun’s sword away.

Chae-Ang-!

···The palm where I struck the sword feels numb.

I almost dropped my sword.

Cheongwoon swung his sword again, taking advantage of the gap.

Chaeng! Chaeng!

The black cloud was so strange and mysterious that it dazzled Namgung Hyuk’s eyes.

It’s a slow sword that’s clearly visible to the eye.

But when I came to my senses, I had already reached the nape of Namgung Hyuk’s neck.

Chae-Ang-!

An illusionary sword that even deceives the senses.

‘Is this the Volcano faction’s···?’

···That can’t be true.

The Hwasanpa’s swordsmanship is the highest of the ascending martial arts.

This is a secret technique that brought the Hwasanpa up to be a member of the Gupailbang.

It is not a martial art that a country bumpkin’s teacher can dare to learn.

No, he is not an ordinary country bumpkin or a criminal.

A third-rate unmanned vehicle that is not even a third-rate unmanned vehicle.

A wretch who can’t even handle one bit of internal energy.

What a mess.

This is the first information that Namgung Hyuk researched while investigating the surrounding villages.

This is an absolutely indisputable fact.

Of course, Cheongun’s father was apparently a very famous warrior.

But that kid, Cheongun, was a total mess.

It is like a dog under a tiger husband.

But Namgung Hyuk was only able to realize it now.

There is not a single word wrong in the words of the ancient sages.

There is no dog under a tiger husband.

Chorus!

The Sword of Cheongun spun half a circle in his hand.

The sword held in reverse is swung at an unexpected angle.

The beat and harmony of the sword’s trajectory changing moment by moment.

visor!

······Perfect.

It’s perfect, without a single flaw.

Cheongwoon doesn’t seem to think of himself as inferior to her at all.

The sword of Cheongun, which was close by, pressed down on Namgung Hyuk without stopping.

Namgung Hyuk took a step back and put some distance between them.

Cheongwoon fiercely follows Namgung Hyuk, who has opened up a distance.

Cheongun stretches his sword forward to limit Namgung Hyuk’s space.

We need to distance ourselves more.

Namgung Hyuk took a big step backwards. Cheongwoon strode forward and pressed him.

···There is absolutely no distance between us.

Every time I back down, I get pushed back into a defensive position.

It would be correct to say that this was not a case of widening the distance, but rather of being driven out.

Pavababak!

The Sword of Cheongun came crashing down like an explosion. Namgung Hyuk’s two eyes opened at once.

‘Is this a joint faction···?’

···That makes no sense.

You learned the name of the Hwasan faction and not only that, but also the name of the Gongdong faction?

Looking at it this way, it’s not just volcanoes and cavities.

It seems that the swords of Cheongun, Mudang, Jongnam, and Jeomchang were glimpsed earlier.

‘What nonsense!’

It must be an illusion…

Does that make sense?

Do you think Cheongun has learned all the names and seasons of the Gupaebang?

…that’s impossible.

Even if you have the opportunity to learn all the names of the nine pillars of the Old Testament, it is impossible to use them all.

It’s difficult to properly learn even one of the world’s best skills.

How come all the holidays are-!

Oh my god!

Namgung Hyuk’s mind flashes at the sound of clashing iron.

···This can’t go on like this.

I can’t admit it, but if things continue like this, we’re doomed.

Namgung Hyuk turned his gaze to find the unmanned personnel of Horonggwan who would help him.

And Namgung Hyuk’s body froze.

···All the unmanned personnel of Horonggwan are lying on the floor.

A person who is bleeding and cannot control his body.

This person fell into a coma and fainted.

A person who is stuck on the floor and cannot move.

Not everyone died.

Those who avoided the vital points were barely able to breathe.

But no one is keeping their mind.

There is no one who can stand properly.

“Wow, that’s ridiculous···!”

···I can’t believe it.

chin.

My retreating steps felt like something was blocking my path. I could feel the hard walls of the cave behind me.

They were pushed and pushed until they finally reached the end of the cave.

Chae-Ang─!

Cheongun’s sword strikes Namgung Hyuk’s sword at once.

“Huh!”

Namgung Hyuk held his breath without realizing it.

As he slowly lowered his gaze, the tip of Cheongun’s sword was touching Namgung Hyuk’s Adam’s apple.

The sword of Cheongun slowly dug into his Adam’s apple.

Namgung Hyuk shouted as if he was throwing a tantrum.

“I will not stay still in Namgung Se-ga!”

Stop.

The sword of Cheongun that was digging into my Adam’s apple suddenly stopped.

“If you kill me, I, the Namgung family, will definitely take revenge!”

Cheongun couldn’t kill Namgung Hyuk easily.

It’s a given.

Namgung Hyuk was a distant collateral branch of the Namgung family.

Even though he is a collateral branch, he is a member of the Namgung family with the Namgung surname.

And no one in the world can stand up to Namgung Se-ga and survive.

Even if they are part of the Gupaebang sect, they are reluctant to side with Namgung Se-ga.

The Namgung family is not something that a country bumpkin could dare do anything about.

As expected, Cheongwoon hesitated and made no movement.

I was scared by the name Namgung Se-ga.

What can I do in front of Namgung Se-ga?

“After thinking about it carefully, I don’t think it really matters.”

“···what?”

“It’s the revenge of the Namgung family.”

Namgung Hyuk’s face turned pale.

“Aren’t you afraid of Namgung Se-ga’s revenge?!”

“Try it.”

“···what?”

“I don’t have much time left to live anyway, so what is there to be afraid of?”

“What is that···?”

Namgung Hyuk asked in confusion, but received no additional answer.

More precisely······.

Kwajik!

Namgung Hyuk could not hear any more answers from now on.

* * *

The sensation of the tip of the sword digging into my throat is clearly felt.

Creak, creak!

Namgung Hyuk struggled for his life, coughing up phlegm.

His eyes were bloodshot and red, as if he was in a lot of pain.

A person who is indifferent to the suffering of children is struggling when faced with his own pain.

After quite some time, Namgung Hyuk’s body finally relaxed and relaxed.

I could confirm that Namgung Hyuk’s breathing had stopped.

Thud, my legs gave out and I collapsed on the spot.

The sword in his hand was covered with countless pieces of flesh.

My hand holding the sword was also soaked in crimson blood.

···It was my first kill.

And murder is by no means a virtuous act.

Of course, Namgung Hyuk and the warriors of Horonggwan are evil people who have committed heinous crimes.

But killing and eliminating such evildoers is a different matter.

One might say that by doing the same things as them, one becomes just as evil.

So, subdue them and hand them over to the authorities.

That was the best virtue I could do.

Murder now would be an act that would greatly shorten my lifespan.

So, to be honest, I did worry about it.

And yet I committed murder.

And I never regretted it.

One day, my father spoke about this problem.

···When was it?

I think I was six or seven years old.

It must have been about 15 years since I first picked up a sword under my father.

But even after 15 years, I still remember it clearly.

[Un-ah, in the past, a man named Tang drove out Geul and became king.

King Wu defeated Zhou and became king.

So, people said.

How can it be considered chivalrous for a subject to assassinate his own king?

However, this father thinks a little differently.

Those who harm benevolence are called traitors, and those who harm righteousness are called thieves. Those who harm others are nothing more than beasts.

Tang and King Mu killed the beast, not the king, but this father thinks.]

Chivalry does not simply mean uprightness.

I have no regrets at all about killing the warriors of Horonggwan along with Namgung Hyuk.

But, one thing.

“How much life would have been shortened···.”

A lifespan that is already short.

I hope it doesn’t get cut too much.

I roughly wiped away the blood-stained hands.

Then he rummaged through his pockets, took out the folding screen, and unfolded it.

[Conversion Merit] – 94 days (+63 days)

“···uh?”

Something was strange.

Did I see something wrong? I checked my vision several times.

But the numbers that appeared on the screen did not change.

therefore······.

“Is it still there?”

My life was extended.

That’s over two whole months.

“What is this···?”

I felt confused for a moment.

“Wow, I am Cheongun Sabeomni···.”

I heard a voice calling me.

When I turned my head, I saw Byuksami, who looked very sad and was sobbing.

I put the folding chair back firmly in my bosom.

And then he approached Byuksami.

“Byulsam, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Was it only then that I felt relieved?

“Eww!!”

Byuksami suddenly burst into tears.

Following that wallflower, all the other children also burst into tears.

“Eww!!”

“Sob, sob, sob···!”

“Sniff, sniff! Sniff!”

···There was literally a sea of ​​tears.

The children were starving, having not eaten for several days.

I had no energy at all and was on the verge of fainting.

In that situation, some children actually fainted, even crying.

First of all, I think we need to get the kids to stop crying.

“Kids, stop! There are no bad guys anymore. So stop! If you don’t stop, the teacher will do this to you!”

“Eww!”

···Somehow, the crying sound seems to have gotten louder.

Regardless of the merits and deeds, I think we should take care of the children first.

But there is a really serious problem.

Sway.

···I don’t have any energy either.

I used up all my strength fighting dozens of warriors including Namgung Hyuk.

To be honest, I wonder how I did it.

What if I ask you to do it again?

Absolutely not.

My body lost its balance and fell to the floor with a thud.

The blood that had poured out from his torn side earlier was soaking his clothes, dyeing them bright red.

Did he think that I would die soon?

“I, I’m Saber…! Lord, am I dying…?”

“Euaaaaaaaaaah···!!”

The children, including Byeok-sam-i, began to cry, wishing that the world would end.

How did he know that dawn was coming soon? He would crow loudly at dawn, telling the rooster to come out.

“Ah, it’s okay, guys…! The teacher is fine- Knuckle!”

In an instant, blood gushed out from my throat.

“Cough···!”

Blood continued to pour out as if I was about to suffocate.

The blood that had formed a small puddle on the floor was dark.

I felt like my stomach was going crazy for a while, but it looks like I’m wearing my injuries tightly.

Aaaah …

···Why did things only get worse?

I couldn’t take care of the children by myself.

But we can’t leave the children like this.

There were many children whose lives were in danger if action was not taken quickly.

I need help from others, but even that isn’t easy.

The cave where the children and I were was located in a place where no human footsteps had set foot.

I would never have found it if it weren’t for Eungseon.

So at that time, I was wondering what to do about this.

Squeak-!

A squirrel flew out from outside the cave and landed gently in front of me.

And then suddenly the eyes that were staring at me…

Huh?

It seemed like I was going to go and call people.
