#222 The Sea’s Chance

Lee Chun-bong thought that he had only experienced two coincidences throughout his life.

The first was meeting Hwaseonjinin.

【Well… … that’s true.】

I was about to say that it might be fate since the two are connected by fate, but I swallowed it.

Whether by chance or fate, the fact that people meet and develop relationships is a miracle in itself.

And the second is that even the Iron Faced met the Hyukryun Emperor.

‘In other words, other than meeting the masters, there was no such thing as fate in the martial arts world.’

Lee Chun-bong slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Every time I heard someone say that they had been blessed with a chance, I felt a little sorry.

But now that it’s here, I’m a little happy because I never thought I’d hear something like ‘Yeonja-yeo’.

【Is it easy?】

The sea dragon’s roaring voice was filled with confusion.

It seems like he heard what Simma had to say.

Lee Chun-bong shook his head.

“I am a human. I can also use the power of a dragon.”

And then I took a quick look outside.

The common edge.

In an instant, a translucent barrier created from the sword of the first sword master blocks the entrance of the sword master Ham Ye-ryeong.

It seemed as if no sound was transmitted there, she said something but I couldn’t hear her at all.

Swish─.

Lee Chun-bong drew a circle above his head.

Seeing that, Ham Ye-ryeong sighed, nodded, and sat down in the blue flower garden. She looked ready to come in to rescue Lee Chun-bong if the time came.

【I’ve never seen a future like this.】

Looks quite embarrassed.

Lee Chun-bong answered, taking a step further with the sword of the first swordsmith.

“I don’t like living according to schedule.”

【That’s pretty cool. I’ve always lived by my fate and died by my fate.】

“So who are you? Haeryong? Geomgakju?”

Woof woof woof woof─.

The sword of the sword master and the corpse of the sea dragon began to resonate.

The sound came first, followed by the sea dragon’s characteristic pale blue light.

When the entire area was dyed the color of the sea, it was a completely new sight.

【I think you know a little about the laws of heaven, so I’ll just tell you. I’m a sea dragon who has been in the South Sea for thousands of years.】

It was the sea.

In the sky, half the sun and half the moon were floating at the same time, and the sea was a mixture of night and day.

A heterogeneous space that can never be seen in reality.

Underneath the water, a giant dragon’s head was looking at Lee Chun-bong.

【You can feel my horns.】

Lee Chun-bong saw the head of the sea dragon.

Where there should be two strong horns.

One horn was missing, with a crooked cross-section, as if it had been sawed off.

“I picked it up by chance.”

【… … .】

Haeryong was momentarily taken aback.

How can you pick up the horn of a true dragon like yourself?

“I just took care of it and cleaned it up because the bad guys were using it for bad things.”

【I see─.】

“Thanks to that, I am living well.”

【It looks precarious, but it seems okay.】

Haeryong gazed into Lee Chun-bong’s inner self.

The main body is dead and only the soul remains, but it is still a sea dragon.

He immediately saw through Lee Chun-bong’s condition and also noticed the living, breathing spirit inside him, Lee Jung-san.

【Well, somehow I end up living like this.】

【Honestly, if I were alive, I would grab you guys by the collar and ask what happened, but I don’t have the strength to do that right now.】

The sea dragon laughed at himself.

At the same time, I smiled faintly at the thought that this was probably how it had to be for someone to escape fate.

Hooooooo─.

The wind blew on the sea.

And then Lee Chun-bong’s shadow began to move and slowly took the shape of a human being.

The face of equality.

Lee Chun-bong immediately frowned.

【You wanted me to be like this!】

Simma was so shocked by that expression that he shouted.

Lee Chun-bong frowned and shook his head.

“I know it in my head, but it’s hard to accept it in my heart. Change.”

【Can not be done.】

“why?”

Simma smiled faintly with an even face.

【Your face is worth seeing.】

“Personality-wise.”

【Don’t you know that my personality and your personality are the same?】

“at all.”

【Tsk tsk, no matter how much you deny it, it’s still not true.】

Previously, the only thing that could barely make out a laugh was the guy named Simma.

But it was amazing that we had reached a point where we could look at each other like this, and I thought that a lot had happened.

And the sea dragon seemed more surprised than expected.

The dragon’s head, which had emerged from the sea, was wide open.

【It’s not just the power of a dragon, no matter how I look at it, it just seems like a dragon.】

Simma shrugged his shoulders at Haeryong’s question.

【I happened to do some research.】

【Tachon… … ?】

【I abandoned ‘me’ and chose ‘me’.】

Haeryong understood Simma’s words right away.

He froze stiffly as if he had never thought of something like that before, then slowly rolled his big eyes.

【How is that─.】

【It works if you just do it.】

【We are dragons created by the promise of mythology, so how could we break that promise?】

Simma said, puffing out his chest.

【I desperately wanted to live a long life, not just live a long life, but live a life as brilliant as that.】

【Ugh─.】

Haeryong opened his mouth again, sighed, and shook his head as if he didn’t understand Simma’s words.

Then the axe sagged.

Lee Chun-bong was quite amazed to see the giant dragon expressing its emotions so clearly.

【Maybe what I lacked was courage.】

The sea dragon seemed to lose its strength in an instant.

I don’t know for sure yet, but it seems like his past is a source of great regret for him.

Lee Chun-bong stabbed Sim-ma in the side.

“Do something about it.”

【what?】

“I don’t like how Mr. Yong looks so weak.”

Simma frowned and tilted his head as if he had heard all sorts of strange things.

【Mr. Dragon?】

“Then, Mrs. Yong?”

【There is no specific gender for dragons, but if we have to distinguish between them, sea dragons are closer to males.】

“That’s right, sir.”

【By the way, if you meet Cheonryong again later, be sure to call him that too. He’ll go on a rampage and try to catch and kill you.】

Lee Chun-bong raised the corners of his mouth and lightly struck the sword and sword on his waist.

“Okay then. I have to go to the meeting anyway.”

Haeryong, who was listening, asked in the middle.

【Is the thunder dragon you are talking about referring to the person in heaven?】

“Yes. Next time I see you, I definitely don’t intend to let it slide.”

Even if I can’t kill it, I’ll at least break one of its horns.

Haeryong clicked his tongue as if he was inspired by Lee Chun-bong’s promise, then dove back into the seawater.

【It doesn’t seem like that much time has passed since I died, but it’s difficult.】

“Because that’s what a person is.”

【Because I’m a human.】

Hooooooooooo─.

At that moment the sea began to part.

Lee Chun-bong, standing on the surface of the water, looked down at the underwater land that appeared as the sea parted.

A single sword stuck in a plain floor.

It was the sword of the sword master who was in the middle of the crowd.

【I’m sure you know it well, so let me get to the conclusion first. The Haesin is the part where I became a demon dragon.】

“also.”

【At that time, I knew that if I completely became a demon dragon, the world would be in chaos, so I devised a method.】

What Haeryong chose was separation and check.

He thoroughly divided his power into two and separated himself from the demon dragon.

The part that was eroded by the dragon became an even more evil ‘Sea God’, and the original part became a ‘Sea Dragon’ and protected the sea.

The peace was barely maintained through checks and balances between the two sides, but during the first Geom-gak-ju era, Hae-sin increased his power through human sacrifice.

To defeat the Sea Dragon and become a complete Demon Dragon.

【It was that guy I met back then.】

What is in Hae-ryong’s big eyes is memories.

【I cut myself for the guy who lost his sister to another me.】

It was thanks to Hae-ryong that a young man from a fishing village who knew nothing became a master who ruled the world.

And the young man who knew sorrow, neither falling into evil nor being deceived by gain, returned and set up his sword.

【And here.】

Ss …

The dirt where the sword was stuck is pushed away.

And what you see is a giant heart.

【I hid my heart with all my might so that the sea god would not become whole.】

Two──roots.

It was the heart of the sea dragon, beating very slowly. Lee Chun-bong could sense it the moment he encountered the heart of the sea dragon.

“Could this be the reason why the sword was created?”

A land of miracles where swords remain and the images of their owners from their lifetimes are on them.

The source of that mystery could be the heart of a sea dragon.

Haeryong nodded slowly.

【Because that’s what this guy wanted.】

“… … .”

【Lotus. Draw out that sword and swallow my heart. Then destroy the sea god.】

Lee Chun-bong looked back at Sim-ma.

The guy had already gone under the sea and was examining the sword and the heart of the sea dragon.

【Hmm.】

“how is it?”

【I’ve been holding out for so long that my previous strength has diminished significantly, but even so, this is the heart of the True Dragon. I can somewhat strengthen your existence, and─.】

Simma kept examining the sword.

The heart knew just by looking at it, but in the case of the sword of the swordsman, it seemed not to know, as it repeatedly stuck its head out and then stepped back.

[Cutting]

When Lee Chun-bong approached and looked, there were two characters written on the sword.

The sword that divides the sea, Jeolhae.

These are perhaps the two letters that best suit him, having lost his sister to the Sea God and received strength from the Sea Dragon.

【I’m a bit jealous of this sword.】

Simma nodded.

Lee Chun-bong was quite surprised when a guy who had no interest in swords showed interest in them.

I thought that the experience of being a swordsman had a big influence.

【I can use this sword even outside of the sword shop.】

“You seem to have dark thoughts.”

【It remains perfect. Unlike the swords of the swordsman, it has the mind to split the sea, so I can use it even more.】

“Then let’s pick. You have the black one and I have the heart.”

Lee Chun-bong looked up at Hae-ryong.

The giant sea dragon nodded as if to say so. Sim-ma and Lee Chun-bong simultaneously grabbed the swords of Geom-gak-ju and began to draw them.

Swaaa …

The sea disappears.

As if asking when it had appeared, Simma went back inside Chunbong Lee, and the original cavity was revealed again.

Among the softly sparkling blue flowers, Lee Chun-bong held the sword of Geomgakju in his hand.

─It’s a black weapon, but at least I carried it to protect something.

Images come flooding in.

Lee Chun-bong and Sim-ma accepted the image of the first sword master standing on the sword.

─I wanted to split the sea.

─I hope that one day my sword will split the sea and cut away tears.

Woohoo─.

The sword rang lightly, and Lee Chun-bong let go of it.

Then, the sword rose up on its own and circled around Lee Chun-bong.

【do.】

Simma’s excited tone.

If the swords of the sword gun could only be used to protect the sword corner, this sword seemed to be able to do as it pleased.

【There’s a sword here, but it’s a bit difficult.】

‘I’ll help you.’

【No. It’s a sword I’m going to use, so I have to learn it somehow.】

Hooooooo─.

The Wind Blows.

The barrier that separated him and the swordsman disintegrated, and slowly the blue flowers around him began to melt away like powder in the wind.

All this blue light is the heart of the sea dragon.

The blue light enveloped Lee Chun-bong.

“What a coincidence.”

Lee Chun-bong clenched his fist.

Although I didn’t make it to the next level, I felt like I had at least reached the end of the Muyeoldan.

“I will definitely repay this favor.”

And now, he left a word for the spirit of the now-disappeared sea dragon and walked out.
