Chapter 317: The God of War
When Mord told him this news, Keel’s eyes opened wide in surprise.
“Wow, that’s bold.”
“That’s right. From the way you gave the task in the first place to the way you took it away like this… You have great decision-making skills.”
Leon was also impressed.
To be honest, it’s been a long time since everyone thought that Storna’s task was really ambiguous.
‘Do I really need to do this? If I do, it’ll just shorten the lifespan of the Endless Storm.’
Of course, if you do it, you will be rewarded greatly. But it is a business that leaves you with a sense of reluctance, as if you were destroying the environment on a large scale just to get rich.
At that time, everyone was praising Storna’s bold decision.
Parwell said.
“There’s one less thing to worry about. If possible, I wish the other gods would cancel the task, but that’s impossible.”
The Sky God and the Earth Goddess are in a situation where they cannot even give oracles to the Shinsera priests, as they are sealed away by the condemned.
Even though they are weakened, it is fortunate that the priests can still use their powers and blessings.
Mord said.
“And thanks to those priests, I got to know a bit about the situation in the East.”
Prince Hanul’s forces were unaware of the situation in the East Sea.
Because it has been divided for a long time, everyone only interacts with neighboring areas and has no contact with distant regions.
In addition, just like the West Sea and South Sea navies, the South Sea and East Sea navies were not on good terms, so there was not much information.
Before the collapse, the West Sea Navy criticized the South Sea Navy, saying, “While we are fighting so hard, you are just sitting there watching.” When the West Sea Navy was in trouble, the South Sea Navy provided material support, but that was as far as it went.
And now that the West Sea Navy has collapsed, the South Sea Navy is harboring similar feelings toward the East Sea Navy.
“Everyone is grumbling that the East doesn’t know about hardship… … .”
And the people on land were also grumbling that it would be nice if the powers in the east were living in comfort without any hardships.
Because the condemned are coming from the west.
After destroying the West Sea Navy and occupying the cities along the western coast, they gradually advanced inland. Therefore, the east of Namnuri had to be a safe rear area.
“It was a mistake.”
But in reality, that wasn’t the case.
“The criminals are also attacking the East Sea and have already taken over some coastal areas.”
While attacking Buknuri, they also attacked the Eagle Islands across the East Sea, and almost occupied them. Using that as a base, they used the islands in the East Sea as ports of call and launched fierce attacks on the East Sea navy.
After hearing the explanation, Keel opened his mouth in astonishment.
“Wow, this is a really unbelievable military force.”
If the Saebyeok Peninsula was small, then it would be different. It’s nearly four times the size of the Korean Peninsula, and they’re going to attack it from all sides and even occupy the surrounding island countries?
“If we were to fight the entire Western Continent with just the Duchy of Bernas, would this be how we would feel?”
“It’s a bit worse than that. Because there’s the Southern Continent.”
“That’s right. Wow, really… … .”
Sedea also sighed in front of Keel, who was shaking his head.
“They can come back to life as many times as they want, and the more they kill, the more troops they increase, so it can’t be helped. I wonder how much damage the five harvesters we’ve dealt to their troop rotation so far has done. It’s clear that we’ve succeeded in repelling some of the troops who were cowering in fear and pouring themselves onto the front lines… … .”
The harvesters are a very limited and precious human resource among the condemned.
The problem is that the world is too big and there are too many condemners.
Mord said.
“The Harvester said that there are definitely more than 150 people on the Eastern Continent alone.”
150 people may seem like a lot, but considering the scale of the convicts, it is truly rare.
Anyway, I only killed 5 of them, so I still had a long way to go.
However, if we were to say that one-thirtieth of the human-shaped strategic facilities responsible for troop rotation had been dealt with, the damage would not be negligible.
Keel gave his opinion.
“I think we’ll have to postpone the next inland assault until Dalshi rejoins the fight… and since it’s come to this, I think it would be better for us to look at other areas until Unpyeongdo is sorted out.”
“Certainly. Even after the repairs to Rotendar are completed, it seems necessary to properly assess the situation throughout Namnuri.”
Mord also nodded.
They decided to tour the entire Namnuri area for now.

The incarnation of the god of war, the best swordsman in the world, Woo Moon-seop, is over seventy years old.
Even though he had trained his martial arts to the limit and had a body as strong as steel, his body was old and he was at an age where he could not help but live with problems big and small, including joint pain.
“Okay, leave this place to me.”
However, Woo Moon-seop’s appearance, as he answered politely, had clearly become younger; his head, which had been full of white hair, had some black hair, and the wrinkles on his skin had also clearly decreased.
Everyone who knew him said he looked 20 years younger.
All the big and small injuries accumulated on the body are healed, and the aged body is restored to vitality.
Woo Moon-seop got the feel of it after a few days of training, and he realized that just that alone had improved his skills.
Physical and technical skills are complementary.
No matter how excellent your skills are, if your body can’t keep up, you can’t use them properly.
The same law was also applied to Woo Moon-seop, who was recognized by the god of war as the best swordsman in the world.
As a martial artist, he has reached an even more amazing level as a swordsman.
But as I got older, things that I could do naturally when I was younger became difficult or impossible. I just filled in what I lost with other substitutes.
But now that he had regained what he had lost through old age, he felt like he could do anything.
“When you come back from work, can you teach me again?”
Nevertheless, Woo Moon-seop was humble.
It was partly because of his personality, but also because he had sparred with Mord after becoming like this.
It was an experience that left us both in awe.
“Of course.”
Mord nodded.
I could clearly see why Woo Moon-seop was recognized as the best swordsman in the world by the god of war.
Mord felt a gap between himself and Woo Moon-seop in terms of martial arts using swordsmanship.
Of course, that is separate from his overall fighting ability. If we only look at the fighting techniques using the spear technique, he has an advantage over Mord.
In any case, the experience was a great stimulus to Mord.
“Thank you. In the meantime, I guess I’ll have to ask Niska to come over.”
Woo Moon-seop and Niska were good training partners for each other.
Since our first meeting, we’ve been having an intense time whenever we have time.
Mord said.
“Dalsi also feels sorry.”
“His spearmanship… is truly mysterious. Perhaps he is the best spearman in the world.”
The evaluation of the best sword in the world had considerable weight.
Mord asked.
“Was there a world-class spear among the incarnations of the gods?”
“No. There isn’t. As far as I know, there was in the past, and there is now… … Of course, I think there was in the more distant past.”
“Can the incarnations of the gods know that?”
“Yes. The position of the best spear in the world is one where one must compete with the descendants of Lanslysia. It is truly difficult to surpass them. Not to mention that even the Lanslysia clan has fallen into their hands… … .”
“That’s right.”
Lanslisia told me that the gods had given their bloodlines full support to fight against the condemned, and in the process, two Lanslisia gods were born.
But in the end, they ended up being condemned.
‘Judging from the way he speaks, it seems like he was somehow made into a god, but his abilities as a warrior are incomparable to Eltain’s… … .’
Of course, the hardships and adversities they went through to become gods must have been enormous.
However, apart from his abilities as a warrior, the experience of ascending to divinity and becoming a god would have been closer to a myth than the real world.
Mord asked something that suddenly occurred to him.
“What about the Heavenly Sword?”
“yes?”
“In swordsmanship, doesn’t it have to surpass the Heavenly Sword to become the best sword in the world?”
“I don’t know.”
“hmm?”
“I’m sorry, but I am so new that I have never heard of the existence of the Heavenly Sword.”
“…I see.”
The reason why the swordsman Urusrera could not engrave his name in the Pantheon was because of a secret in mythology. It would be difficult for anyone other than those who inherited the ancient secret to know that secret.
The existence of the Heavenly Sword was also like that.
Even if the Heavenly Sword had become the best sword in the world, there was no reason for its true identity to be revealed.
‘I wonder if the Heavenly Sword can become the incarnation of a god.’
A new blood cannot become the incarnation of a god. The same goes for a priest who is a servant of a god.
For those who seek to be the best in the world in martial arts, they are merely obstacles blocking their path to becoming the incarnation of the God of War. In any case, one must surpass them and be acknowledged as the best by the God of War in order to become the incarnation of the God of War.
But the Heavenly Sword is a special being.
A person who possesses the pieces of the mad god Urusera, who tore himself to pieces and scattered them across the world.
Yet they do not use celestial powers.
Just as Luisa did until her death, even when given the chance, they ultimately reject divinity and remain human. That is the fate imposed on them.
Couldn’t they be the incarnation of the gods?
‘But just as he rejects divinity, he might also reject the status of an incarnation of the godless. Then, I don’t know what the condemned person will be like… ‘
The condemned have usurped the power of the gods.
Not only the new blood, but even the priests became condemned while retaining the power that came from the gods and the heavens.
Even the unidentified deities who did not belong to the pantheon, and the incarnations of the gods, could not be an exception.
What about the Heavenly Sword then?
Does the Heavenly Sword also become a condemned person while retaining its power, or rather its fate, intact?
‘… I don’t know. But if the Condemned Heavenly Sword exists, it is a truly vicious threat.’
Woo Moon-seop spoke cautiously to Mord, who was frowning.
“Is it normal for me to know about the existence of that Heavenly Sword?”
“No, that’s not true. The existence of the Heavenly Sword… … .”
Mord explained about the Heavenly Sword.
Woo Moon-seop couldn’t hide his surprise.
“Oh, I see. I didn’t know there were such unfortunate beings in the world… … .”
“It’s unfortunate… … . It really is.”
Once awakened, they were beings who could not escape their sad fate until they died.
Wasn’t what Cheongeom Luisa Urusgarda dreamed of until the very end a world where she was not needed and where there were no more suffering beings like her?
Mord said.
“There is always one Heavenly Sword in each generation. However, there is no rule that only one exists. That is why I am curious. Is there at least one Heavenly Sword in each of the East and West, or does it only need to exist in one of the two? … .”
If Urusrera had been a god whose name was inscribed in the pantheon, the answer would have been clear.
But she was such a special case that I couldn’t know.
“perhaps…….”
Woo Moon-seop thought for a moment and then said.
“Your Majesty may know.”
“hmm?”
“Would you like to meet him?”
“…Was Mushin a god that could be talked to?”
Mord felt embarrassed.
From what we have discovered so far, the god of Mushin is different from the gods of the Pantheon and is closer to an object of folk belief.
Although there are temples to the god Mushin everywhere, there are no priests who serve the god Mushin.
Only martial artists, non-divine martial artists, pray to him through martial arts.
Woo Moon-seop shook his head.
“You can’t talk to him. He listens to what people say, but he doesn’t say anything back. But you can talk to him.”
“… A conversation without words?”
It may sound like a pun, but Mord understood the meaning.
There is a saying that you can communicate with your fists.
For martial artists, it is not a far-fetched story that they can communicate physically and understand each other through martial arts.
“Yes, honestly, it’s not something I can easily recommend.”
“Why?”
“Because I, as an incarnation of the god of war, and the person I am talking to, have to risk our lives.”
“… … .”
It means that it is impossible to compete while looking at each other.
“Of course, my skills are nowhere near that of General Mord… but as the incarnation of the god of war, it will be a different story when I speak to him.”
“I think I know.”
Mord thought for a moment and then nodded.
“Okay. Let’s try it.”
“Is everything okay? You are about to leave for something big… … .”
“I think it’s necessary. And I think… … .”
Mord narrowed his eyes and looked at Woo Moon-seop.
“I think God has something to say to me.”
“yes?”
“Gong Woo Moon-seop, since when have you known what you just told me?”
“… … !”
Woo Moon-seop opened his eyes wide.
Because Mord’s words forcefully awakened him to something he had not been aware of.
“Is that so… … .”
Woo Moon-seop’s voice trembled.
It made sense, because just a moment ago he realized that he had no idea about the conversation with the god.
It was Mushin’s intention that he told Mord the fact and advised him as if he had known it for a long time.
“I guess God is God. Lord Woo Moon-Seop, can you do it right now?”
“yes.”
Woo Moon-seop said, controlling his shock.
“Let us go to his temple.”
