Changed Body 572

Chapter 572 – The Conspiracy Begins (5)

Executives of the Hunter Association.

Reporter with their approval.

And even the guild leaders of each large guild.

The center of the space where the people considered to be the greatest in this country are located.

Two people rise onto the stage surrounded by a transparent protective shield.

Namgung-hyuk was impressed by the man wearing military uniform that did not suit the times and a sword on his waist.

“That’s amazing. It’s already a promotion battle at that age…, This is a dignity that even Brother Sun could not attain, and it will not be long before you surpass your father.”

“That’s an overstatement.”

“It doesn’t seem like it at all.”

It wasn’t just lip service.

Son Si-woo and Namgoong Hyuk.

The two people lived in a similar time zone and encountered each other countless times, occasionally joining forces and having a drink.

We’re not the best friends, but we’re close friends in our own way.

That’s why I saw Son Seo-yeon when she was young.

Despite his proud ambition to become a great hunter like his mother and father, the child was extremely weak.

That child is standing in front of me.

Because we are on the way to S class.

“The years…, That’s so fast.”

Namgung-hyuk feels boundless by the confident figure of the woman standing in front of him and her prayers.

After the Yangtze River, before the river, after the Yangtze River

Did you say that the back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave?

I vaguely thought it would come to me at some point, but I never thought it would come already.

“It’s so fast.”

It felt strange.

Two conflicting emotions, happy and sad, coexist.

He is from Korea.

Although he was not born or raised, he held out his hand in difficult times.

That was enough.

As a warrior who values ​​loyalty and righteousness above all else, the reason why I will contribute to this country.

So I’m happy.

Han Joo-hee, Son Si-woo, Namgoong Hyuk.

Now that we are slowly entering our twilight years, talented individuals who will protect this country even after their retirement are emerging one after another.

It was sad at the same time.

The days of my youth when I walked through the dungeon with dreams of fortune have long since faded away.

Now is the time to step down from a leading role to a supporting role.

Follow the flow of consciousness and catch the spirit that is slowly retreating.

‘Not yet.’

The time is near, but not right now.

The young guys have advanced and are right in front of us, but they still remain with me.

There is room to widen the distance again.

I don’t even think about a beautiful retirement, such as leaving while applauding.

I will silently swing my sword until my body moves.

Until it is naturally eliminated.

Grumbling

Pull out the sword.

I ask the other person, feeling the ever-familiar sensation of the length of my arm increasing.

“Come. “Let me check it myself.”

Do you really have the talent to rise to S-class?

Will he have the ability to erase the name Son Si-woo and take responsibility for the next generation?

In response, she also pulled out her sword.

“Thank you for placing undeserved expectations on me, but I have no intention of leading the next generation.”

“I have no desire to lead…” ?”

When he asked, she smiled softly and answered.

“Yes. “There are people who are so big that I can’t even be compared to them.”

“Hmm.”

As if he guessed something, Namgoonghyuk’s eyes turn to the audience seats with a clear view.

It can be recognized at a glance even in various groups.

A man who is even more special because he is extremely quiet.

The eye of a typhoon that creates strong winds around oneself and swirls the entire surrounding area.

“Kim Do-jin…, Did you have that friend in mind?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Surely…”

That is enough.

No, it’s full and overflowing.

It’s hard to understand how such a monster was born in this small land.

I understand her stepping down.

“It’s a shame.”

But I was disappointed that I couldn’t bear it.

“It seems to me that you are just as much of a monster as that friend.”

At least that’s how he saw it.

Han Joo-hee and Son Si-woo.

Born between two great heroes, Son Seo-yeon’s talent seemed comparable to Kim Do-jin.

However, for now, evaluations vary depending on how much of that power has been brought out.

Son Seo-yeon smiled lightly and shook her head at his high praise.

“Even if that were the case…, I can’t fight back.”

“Is there any reason? Bump… “Have you found any weakness?”

It’s a weakness.

She smiled bitterly and muttered.

“Maybe that’s the case.”

There is no greater weakness than having your heart stolen by others.

Of course, even if that weren’t the case, there would be no need to fight for position with him.

She made up her mind.

“I made up my mind. To support that child’s back. I will become his most trusted support in the world.”

Just like my mom and dad did in the old days.

I swallow back my words and adjust my grip.

“So please teach me.”

The most upright and good will radiate from the eyes.

“Hmm, nice eyes.”

It was truly great.

Except for the overly blind part.

But it was insignificant.

Blind will mostly come from youthful energy.

As you gradually get older and gain more experience, it will naturally disappear.

For now, I’m just assessing her current location.

He speaks with a majesty like Mount Tai wrapped around his back and shoulders.

“Come.”

“… Yes!”

We move forward with a powerful answer.

Son Seo-yeon is once again surprised by the lighter steps she takes when hitting the ground.

The body can become this light just by the weight of the mind becoming lighter.

With a small realization in mind, I draw my sword diagonally.

Kaang!

A blow that is easily blocked.

Namgoonghyuk’s satisfied expression can be seen beyond the clashing swords.

“It’s pretty good.”

It looks like her swordsmanship skills are quite satisfactory.

He speaks even more excitedly.

“Use all your talents. When you leave here, don’t leave a single regret.”

“Of course… Joe!”

As soon as she answered, her sword disappeared from sight and instantly scattered dozens of lights.

Eighteen trajectories drawn in one breath.

It was fast enough to make your eyes dizzy when you looked at it, and Namgoonghyuk didn’t mind the complex attack.

Cheaeng!

Chang!

Skakakak!

Unlike Son Seo-yeon’s flashy swordsmanship, Namgung-hyuk’s swordsmanship to block it was simple.

Block the opponent’s moves with the shortest and best path without unnecessary movement.

Then.

“Hmm!”

We are launching a counterattack.

Wedge!

Son Seo-yeon is greatly embarrassed by the blow that flies like a ray of light.

But even for a moment.

“Hot… !”

Block the opponent’s beam-like stab with the broadside of the sword.

Namgung-hyuk immediately turned her sword and converted her attack into a slash, drawing her short trajectory one after another, aiming for Seo-yeon Son’s blind spot.

No matter how much you spar, the moment you allow the attack, it is an attack that will cause you terrible pain.

In order to unravel a complicated skein of thread, you have to unravel it one strand in turn.

Read the sequence of the trajectories laid out before your eyes.

‘Here is the first one.’

And destroy them one after another.

Keying!

Wow… !

Trajectories that are being erased from the world one by one.

Another opportunity to attack.

In order to make the most of this, the magical power emitted from the core rushes through the entire body.

A hot body.

Through this, the sword becomes more resilient and intercepts Namgoonghyeok’s entire body.

Son Si-woo named it this way because it looked like a sudden shower falling from the sky.

「White rain.」

Although each one is small in the shape of a dot, the attack is dense and powerful, literally hitting Namgoonghyeok like a shower on a midsummer night.

Shoo shoo shoo!

Shoo shoo shoo!

Shush!

However, Namgoonghyuk was fine.

Not a single drop of the pouring rain touched his body.

The same goes for subsequent attacks.

No matter when, where, or how she aimed, Namgoong Hyuk easily blocked her sword strikes.

Finally she understood.

Namgoonghyuk.

Why do the names ‘Chang Gung (蒼穹)’ and ‘Muae (無涯)’ appear in the name of the swordsmanship practiced by the heir of the Namgung family in China?

It really felt like I was dealing with the sky.

It feels like I’m just swinging my sword against the wide, ever-expanding sky, deprived of any meaning or purpose.

‘I understand after dealing with it.’

I finally understand.

Why did Kim Do-jin say that it was extremely difficult to deal with Nam Gung-hyuk and Chang Gung Muae Swordsman?

My attacks become fleeting, and my opponent’s attacks become extremely sharp.

The direction of attacks targeting various parts of my body is so broad that it is difficult to easily read their trajectories.

Even if you knew it, the trajectory changes in real time right before your eyes.

Like a cloud that has an irregular shape and can be shaped in any way.

‘Dojin expected all of this.’

Until now, it was all thanks to Kim Do-jin’s training that he had been able to block the opponent’s sword strikes, even though they were dangerous.

He imitated some of Namgunghyuk’s swordsmanship and constantly harassed her.

Just like now, drawing countless trajectories in unexpected directions.

He also blocked all my attacks with an extremely defensive swordsmanship and then spoke in a low voice.

-“In fact, Changgung Muae Sword Technique has no weaknesses if you look at its aim alone. No, it is safe to say that it is a sword that must be virtually invincible.”

Wide sky.

An ever-changing attack and a defense that blows everything away.

And the infinite possibilities to move freely between them.

A swordsmanship that literally makes a human become heaven.

That is the ultimate goal of Changgung Muae Sword Technique.

After hearing this, she became even more nervous and asked.

-“Then… “Is there no way to deal with it?”

Kim Do-jin shook his head resolutely.

-“That’s not true.”

Also he said.

No technology in this world can be perfect, even if it is close to perfection.

At the same time, he revealed the loopholes in the Changgung Muae sword technique.

-“No matter how much a human becomes the sky, he or she is not the real sky, right? “It may seem quite large, but in the end, it is infinitely small and shabby compared to the real thing.”

So.

-“You can destroy the entire small expanse of sky. With overwhelming attack power.”

How about it?

It’s so easy, right?

“…”

I ended up thinking about the last scene I didn’t want to think about, but anyway, the point is this.

Destroy the sky that has been cast upon your opponent with one powerful blow instead of a small attack.

So what should be done to achieve such offensive power?

He whispered to her in her distress.

-“Maybe Hunter Son Si-woo is in the middle of a sword fight?”

And then I remembered.

Of all the sword techniques I learned over my shoulder, the one that seemed the most monotonous and shabby.

I didn’t know it at the time, but after practicing with Kim Do-jin, I learned the truth of that shabbyness.

‘This must be accompanied by magical power and sword power.’

A single blow that explodes a sword with overwhelming energy and destroys the surrounding area.

She may not know it, but this was created from the realization she gained from sparring with Namgoonghyuk.

Namgoonghyuk’s sky was destroyed, but that was only due to the difference in skill.

A blow forged in preparation for a being that would be difficult to defeat in the future with just cutting and stabbing.

‘Pacheon (破天).’

A sword strike aimed at destruction itself, not cutting or stabbing, is about to be swung.

Bleep-!

An ear-piercing siren sound echoes throughout the space, and an urgent voice follows.

[Emergency situation occurs.]

[Emergency situation occurs.]

[Currently, many cracks are created throughout Seoul.]

[It is showing signs of breaking as soon as it is created, so please dispatch all members quickly.]

[Sending repeatedly.]

[Emergencies…]

It was the beginning of an unexpected crisis.
