Episode 371 Second Return (2)
His black hair was tied like ssari, and his eyes were as fierce as a hungry wolf. The sleeves of the gray long robe he was wearing were torn, and a shaky sword was hanging from his waist. He exuded a harsh spirit like a general on the battlefield, but also had an empty aura like a monk.
“Darkness!”
The man who appeared in front of him was dark. Even more than the body created by Cabalon, it had an appearance that was identical to the memory.
“Hmm...”
The darkness moved its body very slowly, like a baby walking.
“It’s moving properly.”
After examining everything from fingertips to toes, Darkness smiled in satisfaction.
“Is that the body Karen created?”
“I don’t know. “Like you, I woke up here in this body.”
Darkness spread his clenched fists and shook his head.
“What is it?...”
When Baek Woo-jin tried to approach the darkness, a black pillar rose up. The center of the pillar opened like an elevator door and Karen walked out.
[It’s been a long time.]
Karen smiled a little as she looked at herself and the darkness.
“Karen.”
“Karen! Have you already created my body? “Isn’t it amazing!”
[Sorry, but no. It is impossible to build that much body in one month.]
Karen shook her head with a calm expression.
“what? “Is it this vivid?”
[This is the spirit world. It is a space created by combining Woojin’s mental world and your mental world.]
“Call me oppa, not you. “Then is this body the one I remember?”
[Not even that.]
Karen clicked her tongue and waved her finger.
“Then what is this body?”
[I created the body you will have in the future using the characteristics of this place.]
“Are you saying it’s a prototype?”
[that’s right. The body is the vessel of the soul. If you take the wrong direction, problems will arise. We’re testing it here. how is it? Are you moving well?]
“My body is beyond my prime. “It’s incredibly light.”
Darkness nodded, jumping like a boxer.
“If it continues like this, I will have no wish.”
[Then that’s a good thing.]
Karen looked at the body of darkness and muttered an unknown word like a spell. It seemed like he remembered his current body shape.
[Now it’s Woojin’s turn.]
“Yes?”
[You said it a month ago. I want to fight Cain.]
“Then...”
[As you know, in this place, even if you die, you won’t die, and even if you get hurt, you’ll heal right away. Here, you can fight to your heart’s content.]
“Hmm!”
Baek Woo-jin nodded in satisfaction and released his wrist.
“It was like that. “Did you say you were going to hit me in the back of the head?”
“We have to clearly decide who is on top.”
“You haven’t had a successful examination since you caught Cabalon.”
“Even without that, you win.”
“It’s a shame. “I was going to cut off your heart sword.”
Heukam chuckled and bent his knees to lower his posture.
“Aren’t you worried about the back of your head instead of the sword?”
Baek Woo-jin placed his hand on Seolyeonggeom’s sword.
“Karen. “You give the signal.”
[Then...]
Karen looked at herself and the darkness once and raised her hand.
[Start!]
Before she lowered her hand, the darkness disappeared.
Cheeeeee!
The darkness that appears cutting through the air strikes with a sword. He grabbed Seolyeonggeom’s sword and threw it away.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
A terrifying shock wave exploded from the center of the sword. The rush of darkness was simple, but its destructive power and speed reached the sky.
‘If I had relaxed my strength, I would have been hit.’
Between the clashes of swords, dark eyes flash red. This guy is sincere. He drew his sword with the intention of cutting his own throat with one blow.
“The sword is not just your weapon.”
“I know?”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and relaxed his grip on the competing Seolyoung swords. The moment the balance of darkness collapsed, the sword with increased rotational force was hurled out.
Whoa!
Heukam dodged Baek Woo-jin’s sword by lying down with his back like a bow, then straightening his back again and drawing an arc with his sword.
Kyaggyaggyak!
He turned his body, swinging his curved sword towards Gwangho Island. He struck the chest of the darkness that came towards him for a follow-up blow with his elbow.
Pow!
Baek Woo-jin lowered his eyes slightly. It wasn’t just a hit with the elbow. I hit my chest using the energy of the Suwangmu Guidon type, but it felt like I had hit a piece of metal.
“Not even a message goes to the liver!”
Heukam patted his chest and grinned.
“This one is going to be a little tight!”
It dug into the left side of the darkness. He struck down the sword he was striking and unleashed a sword-shaped sword.
“I’m so scared, I definitely have lower elemental resistance than you. but!”
The darkness unfolded its strength in the reverse direction of the sword and sword shape.
Hwaaaah!
The aura contained in his sword spun like a waterspout, scattering the flames of terror.
“I have seen your sword more than anyone else. “Did you really think I didn’t know the law of destruction?”
“Then try blocking this too!”
Baek Woo-jin struck down the Seolyoung sword wrapped in brain energy. A powerful black lightning soared and rained down on the darkness.
“It’s an island.”
When the darkness drew its sword diagonally, the space widened like the jaws of a beast and began to crush the flow of Lightning Island.
“This is the real island. And...”
The pressure and speed are breathtaking. The power was so great that it felt like skin that wasn’t even touched was being swept away.
‘Here...’
If you use Shinsal, you can cut this flow of energy. As I was about to lift the Seolyounggeom, I made eye contact with darkness.
The guy’s eyes ask Baek Woo-jin.
Is that enough?
I’m heading up and you’re asking if you’re going to stay there.
‘No.’
That can’t be possible. This guy went beyond his limits and took out the strongest sword whose name I don’t know. At least you have to repay that.
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu “Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu “
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu�������������I took a deep breath, and swung the Beimyeong Divine Art to the extreme that. The auror circulation accelerated and everything in sight stopped.
‘It’s as far as this...’
I was able to accelerate the Northern Myeong Divine Art and reach the current moment, but I couldn’t raise my heart and sword. I’ve always been stuck here.
But today was different.
In my boiling heart. The blue blade was alive and breathing inside.
A single flow is visible above the black-and-white closed space. It is a straight path toward which one’s thoughts go.
‘I see. That was it.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled brightly. I now know why I couldn’t use the Heart Sword after killing Cabalon.
‘I was confident that it was all over.’
The heart sword is not just a simple swing, but the true intention of the heart. If you don’t have true intention and will, you can’t exercise it.
I saw darkness. He may not have known that and prepared like this, but thanks to him, he was able to realize the true meaning of the sword.
‘thanks.’
I let go of the Seolyounggeom and forged the sword of my heart.
A sword blooms from deep within my heart. A sword that is sharp yet heavy, fast yet light. It is your own sword that is a mixture of what you have learned and mastered.
The heart sword flowed through time and space and cut through the new texture of the sword strike unfolded by the darkness.
Time passes again.
The sword of darkness that covers the entire mental world melts away like frost in the spring breeze.
“...is this a heart sword?”
Darkness’s eyes trembled as it watched the energy sinking into vain.
‘Everything is gone.’
The sword strike, which I poured all my energy and skill into completing, disappeared like water fog, and even my will to fight was erased.
If Baek Woo-jin had his way, he would have died hundreds of times more.
“Haa...”
Darkness shook his head and sat down.
“lost. “Right now, I don’t have the confidence to break that sword.”
[Cain...]
Karen played with her fingernails while looking at Cain sighing.
“Do not worry.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly and put the Seolyeong sword into its sheath.
“That guy hasn’t given up yet. “I said ‘for now.’”
[Ah!]
“Of course. “I caught up with you, but there’s no law preventing me from overtaking you again.”
“okay. But before that...”
Baek Woo-jin hummed and moved behind the darkness.
“It must end!”
He grinned and struck the back of the darkness’s head from top to bottom.
Sigh!
Because too much force was applied, the head of darkness crashed through the floor.
“Kwaaagh! “It hurts so bad!”
Darkness stood up, rubbing the back of his head as if washing clothes.
“This reaction, this blow! “It tastes just like this!”
Baek Woo-jin trembled with his hands, from which light smoke was coming out. It’s different from when I hit the darkness I was brainwashed into. It feels more amazing than when you hit someone else.
“You damn bastard! Stick again!”
[Oh, no time for that!]
Karen sighed, causing her shoulders to shake.
[This place is falling apart because of you! If you don’t go back quickly, you’ll really die!]
“Ugh damn it!”
Darkness trembled with its closed fists and ground its teeth.
“Did you hear?”
Baek Woo-jin slapped Darkness’s forehead and laughed.
“let’s go. “I’ll show you all the dramas you want to watch.”
“Are you sure?”
The dark eyes that were burning with anger subsided in an instant, as if a fire extinguisher had been sprayed on a fire.
“okay. “I will pay for each platform and show you everything you want me to see.”
“I was offended by the spoiler!”
“Because there is that and the work is done.”
I’m sorry for spoiling it, but I had been planning to show the drama to the point where I would get sick of it once it was over. I’m just sorry it’s later than expected.
“Well, then I, who have a big heart, should accept it again.”
“okay. “Let’s go.”
I had already confirmed that the bowl of darkness was a soy sauce sauce, but I didn’t say anything.
[They are the same. Is that why we became friends?]
Karen smiled and gestured to Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am.
[Now I will open the door leading there. Please come this way.]
**
‘Hmm?’
As soon as Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes, he frowned. The color of the sky was bizarre. A strange color, like a mixture of purple and black paint, covered the sky.
‘what?’
It’s a sky I’ve never seen before while living in Korea. I thought Karen had made a mistake, so I looked around, but she wasn’t.
The place where he woke up was his last training ground before leaving for the Marutun Continent.
Clap.
When I put my hand on the floor to stand up, I felt something that looked like mud.
“uh?”
Baek Woo-jin turned his head to the floor and opened his eyes.
“What is this...?”
