Chapter 137 – 如意 (1)
The place where the core of the Void Dragon was sealed was jointly guarded by the Murimmaeng and Shinkyo until now. Before this area even turned into a frontline, the decision to seal it was made while arguing over whether or not to break through Pyongyang.
Of course, a lot of effort went into it. It was because we had to set up a large-scale sealed camp on an island-like place in the middle of a group of monsters and dispatch troops to defend it.
In particular, before Jin was installed, I heard that all kinds of monsters flocked to it and suffered quite a bit. It was quiet now, whether it was subjugation periodically. In the meantime, the core of the Void Dragon disappeared without a trace because of me. I kept it a secret for now, but it’s bound to be noisy.
Actually more than that.
The most urgent was the issue of transferring the Taesanghobeop Dancheonsang and the elderly to Shinkyo. As a result of urgent contact, an unexpected person flew in. I politely embraced it.
“…Are you here, Master?”
With a nonchalant expression as usual, the master just nodded silently. As the old man lost the status of a hyeongyeong, even the Chinese calligraphy was broken, so there was not much time to relax. Because of that, the work went on without a hitch.
“Old man, then, let’s go. Please follow me.”
An elderly man wearing a thick coat boarded the plane with a calm smile.
“Take care of yourself, old man.”
I politely embraced him and saw him off. Finally, before boarding the plane to Sabu, Sabu patted me lightly on the shoulder. Master didn’t blame me.
“Good job.”
I just said a short word and turned around and left. I stood still until the plane took off from the emergency runway and was completely out of sight.
“He is gone.”
Midsummer, which had quietly followed me, let out a deep sigh.
“Sorry.”
“It’s nothing for you to be sorry for. It’s okay to live… Are you feeling better?”
“Maybe. I guess I’ll have to check it out…”
“Are you out of your time limit now?”
“It is very likely. Let’s go in.”
“Yes.”
I took Midsummer’s hand and returned to her room. Because of the investigation, she couldn’t leave right away.
“Are you okay, old man?”
Midsummer sat down on the soft bed and asked in a worried tone.
“It won’t affect her life, but…”
“Is it difficult for the elderly to recover martial arts?”
“Yes. It seems that you have even dragged the epicenter to the fighting force.”
“…You owe me your life.”
“I owe you my life. I don’t know if I can pay it back.”
“Have a good life, Kim Mu-gong.”
“Not easy.”
“It is. What does it mean to live well?”
“You have to keep thinking about it. Have some luck for a while.”
“I’ll stand guard.”
I didn’t have time to calmly contemplate the inside because I was moving so busy. A transcendental sense, much increased internal energy, muscle stems and ligaments like Cheonjamsa, and bones that have become hard enough to be described as one-year-old. There were parts that felt natural, but there were other important things.
I sat cross-legged and closed my eyes.
Even after tearing and repairing my body from head to toe, the immense uniqueness of the sun retardation, fire magic, and void dragon’s core remained firmly united inside. Hwamajeong also rotated slowly at the edge of the middle ground similarly to the previous one. However, the difference from before is that in the past, I refused to interfere with my energy, but now, the energy of the Hwamajeong moves as the Heavenly Demon God guides. Of course, it was all too much because it was such a huge amount. In fact, it was the same as part of the suspension.
‘It’s just like a star.’
I’ve felt it before, but now it’s even stronger. It was more like a neutron star than the sun. As much as that, the energy of Hwamajeong was still enormous.
And bottom front.
What is believed to be the Void Dragon’s core has settled. Contrary to the time when he was confined in a sealed camp and emitting curses, there was a pure energy. Lastly, the top division is unmarried as before. It was as if it had three inner hems, one for each of the upper, middle, and lower hems. Even the sizes were similar.
‘A perfect union is impossible.’
It was unclear whether it would be possible to move to the next step. What would happen if it were possible to perfectly unite these three?
‘Next stage.’
It was a very early story, but I could see a vague way to go beyond the hyeon-gyeong that Mu-sin had shown me. I opened my eyes slowly If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s no longer a glass body like it used to be.
Now, there won’t be a lot of cases where it’s too much to deal with enormous power. It is because the meridians and blood vessels are on a different level from before.
As if to prove that, the status window was pretty flashy.
First of all, an attribute called 如意寶珠 (-) was added. It was probably the name of the change in the core of the Void Dragon, which was located in the lower part of the palace.
The ability level… The past that started with 11 (F) and 10 (F) is no longer visible even if you search for it. The elder said that my metamorphosis was different from the general form. Perhaps the effect would be incomparable.
As if to prove that, all abilities were at the upper limit of Hwagyeong. Something came to my mind, so I got up. Midsummer opened her eyes and looked at me.
“It’s over?”
“Uh. I have something to check.”
“I want to go too.”
I got up from my seat with the black dragon sword and moved to a clearing a little further away. Midsummer observed me from a distance.
‘The sword that Shicheonma showed me.’
It was hard to understand at all at the time, but not anymore. Even if the part I realized was only a piece, there was enough room to try.
He raised his sword and half-opened his eyes to contemplate the interior. Even though it’s only a sword type, I’m already learning how to use the sword of the Heavenly Demon. The description was said to be similar.
Thump – unconsciously, not consciously. According to his senses, he stepped on the steps, stretched out his feet, and swung his sword. To recreate Sicheonma’s sword attack. The black dragon sword hummed and spewed out swords.
As soon as I had the will, my body was tuned according to my will. It’s definitely different from the past. Whatever he did, he was infinitely free.
‘Can do.’
Even if it’s just an imitation.
‘No.’
It does not stop at simple imitation. Change Sicheonma’s sword to my sword. The will is inherited, but it is not necessary to follow it. Neither the Sicheonma nor the elders who risked their lives to save me would want that.
It’s not that I don’t have experience. I’ve already done it once. The white blood was burning, but soon I couldn’t even feel it. As if contemplating my body from a far distance, the boundary between consciousness and unconsciousness has collapsed.
Just as you like
Yeouibouju, Hwamajeong, and Muhon resonated one after another, and a fire broke out inside. Eventually, a series of flames were loaded onto the sword. Following the sword, the jet-black sword steel burned like a torch.
The swordsmith that Shicheonma sought.
A sword shape that symbolizes the sky and was meant to slash a dragon.
He inherited it and added the flames of karma.
Finally.
An image dwelled in the nameless herbivore.
Heavenly Demon Sword
Dragon sword type
A single blade of sword melted the ground and ran at full speed. The sword strike, which extended far away leaving a deep scar, soon hit the hill blocking the way.
Koo Goo Goo Palace-
Watching the disappearing hill, I turned around with a black dragon sword.
“…”
Midsummer blankly opened her mouth and looked at me. I smiled and put my hand on Midsummer’s head.
“Let’s go.”
“Are you a human…?”
“Then is it a human or a monster?”
“That, the hill is gone.”
“What are you thinking? Master is something that can be done with just one gesture.”
“No…”
“Don’t be too jealous, our midsummer will soon be able to do it too.”
“I’m not jealous.”
Midsummer, purring her lips, shook her head, shaking her hand off mine. It was definitely different from when she used the Bong Magic Sword type once and her whole body was inundated with energy and blood.
Furthermore.
A new notification just popped up in the status bar.
[Heavenly Demon Sword (SSS)-〉 Heavenly Demon Sword (EX)]
It was simple, but nothing was as intuitive as this. The other parts of the condition were checked again.
Name: Kim Mu-gong
Species: Human (20 years old)
Strength: 79(S) Endurance: 79(S) Agility: 79(S) Strength: 79(S)
Possessed Attributes: Out of Conscience (Inherent), Sun Retarded Taeyang (EX) Unmarried (?) Unmarried (?) Unmarried (?)寶珠(-)
Possessed martial arts: Cheonma Godong (EX), Blood Beast Magic Gong (SSS), Geongon Yin-Yangjin (A), Geongon Daenai (S++), Cheonma Beast (EX), Heavenly Demon Sword劍訣(EX)
Sssss even without receiving any buffs. Besides, everything is at the end. When I first possessed it, it transformed into a splendid stat that I couldn’t even imagine. In less than a year. It’s a real sense of exasperation. I don’t know if it’s fate or causation, but it was close to a miracle that can’t be expressed even with the word luck.
I secretly shared the status window with Midsummer.
“…Uh?”
Han Yeo-reum frowned as she stared at what I had shared, then she looked up at me. Her round eyes trembled slightly.
“Why?”
“Is this real?”
“Is it fake then?”
“…It’s a scam. It’s a scam.”
“Isn’t it worth risking your life for?”
“I don’t have anything to say, but… Are you really okay now?”
“It’s okay.”
“Still, that Hwamajeong and… Yeouuiboju? Did you absorb it this time? Are you there? Doesn’t it suddenly explode? You never know.”
“Don’t worry too much, it won’t happen soon.”
If there was no possibility at all, that was not the case again. Looking at the heavy face of midsummer, I feel sorry for nothing. I just shouldn’t have shared it.
Since I had a lot of experience seeing myself getting into an accident and going to the brink of death, it seemed that this kid had some kind of trauma as well.
I held Midsummer in her arms and gently brushed the back of her hair.
“It’s okay. If you become stronger, all problems will be solved.”
“…Yes.”
Midsummer munched her lips on my chest.
Now she understood the meaning of the words popping into her mind. The god of martial arts divided into three major stages of martial arts after the peak.
Smoke incarnation god. Make a god It refers to the stage of Hwagyeong.
Yeonsinhwanheo. Train the gods and return to Taeheo. Taeheo means the universe, so it was the stage of forming and growing the universe inside the body. I could see that it was similar to Hyungyeong.
Even if I reached this point, even if the hwamajeong exploded, there was no way I would die. Because the universe doesn’t collapse when a supernova explodes.
And even Hyungyeong was no longer my goal.
In order to deal with powerful enemies such as the Void Dragon or unidentified enemies such as the Demon King, even a hyeongyeong was not enough.
Yeonheohapdo. The realm of attaining the Tao at last. The place that was reached after Hyeon-gyeong, before even the god of war left no marriage. You have to go to the place that only those who put their names on the top of the world have reached.
No matter how long it takes
Can you do it
Can do.
Also, you have to.
Patting Midsummer’s back, I quietly finished my resolution.
