Resurrected Immortal 665

Chapter 665 – 665. The Virtual World (2)

In the mountains filled with clear air, Eunhyeon continued to swing her iron sword.
An extremely simple training where you swing the same posture and with the same strength without resting for one hour, then two hours, then four hours and then eight hours.
The training, which started early in the morning, seemed very simple on the surface, but in reality it was not.

‘More. More precisely.’

The repeated wielding of a sword was not a speedy sword that ordinary people could even recognize with their own two eyes.
The swordsmanship was so slow that even Belldandy, who was unfamiliar with swordsmanship and fighting itself, could see it.
Eun-hyeon swung his sword, recalling Siete’s teachings and the sense he had of another parallel world.

– It’s not just about being fast.

Siete taught that a swordsman who has mastered that skill can cut a huge rock in one stroke with just one iron sword, as long as the perfect balance of speed, power, and accuracy is in place.
Eun-hyeon of the past could not understand the teaching.
It was about 200 years after Siete’s death that Eunhyeon was able to understand the teaching little by little.
And at the same time, it was a time when he realized his limitations.

-I cannot perfectly inherit and perfect Master’s swordsmanship.

Siete’s realm was located at a far-off level that he could not catch up with.
Eun-hyun, who had no talent, couldn’t even follow her toes, and it was impossible for him to complete an extreme inner sword with perfect harmony.
In the first place, if Eunhyeon had been so talented in swordsmanship, he might have delayed the destruction of the earth by being more desperate.
The only thing that Eunhyeon was able to inherit from Siete was the characteristics of her quicksword and her powerful cutting power that could cut through the human body.
However, its speed and attack power were remarkably low compared to the level of swordsmanship Siete displayed.
In the lower world, he was able to reproduce the power and speed because he raised his status to a half-god and used his improved power to raise his physical ability, but in terms of pure skill level, Eun-hyeon still had his sword in poetry. Compared to Te’s sword, he thought it was far behind.
In short, with swordsmanship, it was impossible to create a technique that could deliver a decisive blow with powerful attack power.
So, Eun-hyeon had to find other ways to become stronger.
He learned spearmanship from Brewenak, and created various fighting techniques using the martial arts he learned from Cha Hanseong.
Eun-hyeon was able to survive the fight against the demons on Earth because he studied and equipped himself with various fighting methods, not limited to swordsmanship, and created various ways and means.
But it also had its limits.
If something had been completed and reached its climax, Eun-hyeon’s life might have had a different ending instead of death.
So this virtual world was a good opportunity for Eunhyun.
A chance to explore the sword of Siete once again from the beginning and once again find what you missed.
If it was not the past self, but the present Eun-hyeon, who had the sense that she had descended from another parallel world.
At that time, it might be possible to pursue Siete, who had to give up because he couldn’t see them.
And at the end, what Eun-hyeon can achieve is the state she has achieved in another parallel world that Siete had so longed for.
Eunhyeon thought of that state and swung his sword.

“Whoa…”

The heaviness of the iron sword slicing through the wind was transmitted through his arms, causing fatigue in the muscles of his whole body.
I gave up counting the number of times I swung my sword in the same position in the same spot.
Over the past 8 hours, the number of times must have already exceeded 10,000.
Even if it was a repetition of the same motion on the surface, there was a meaning in doing the action.
Thousands and tens of thousands of times of work to find the optimal technique, which is made after minute and precise adjustments such as how much power to put on each time you swing a sword, what timing to accelerate and swing, and the difference in muscles used, by dividing it into units of 0.01 second. And is repeated.
If you were a swordsman with a lot of talent for swordsmanship like Sietena and Riod, it wouldn’t have taken a long time for you to use and create this optimal technique that suits you.
It is an area that only swordsmen with special talents have.
For those with talent, their bodies act on their own, and they are fitted and perfected towards the optimum.
However, Eun-hyeon, who had no talent, had no such instincts or senses, so he had to put in a lot of effort to find the perfection of the technology.
When others swing once, Eunhyun swings a hundred or a thousand times.
He always did, and in the end he found the answer in his own way.
Even though this virtual world only lasted a year, Eun-hyeon was confident that he would be able to succeed.

“Hey. Just stop here for today.”

Eunhyeon, who had wielded only the sword for a total of 9 hours, was stopped by Verdandi.
Beldandy stopped Eun-hyeon at the right time, thinking that if he didn’t stop like this, he might really swing his sword until one part of his body was broken.

“… Yes.”

Fortunately, Eunhyeon accepted Verdandi’s restraint.
I threw off my clothes, which were already soaked with sweat, and went into a nearby creek to wash myself.
After changing into new clothes and returning to the campsite with the tent, Eunhyeon felt a moderate amount of body fatigue and tiredness.

“Hey. Come on, let’s have dinner and rest.”

“Yes.”

Soon after, he glanced at the tree and checked the laundry hanging on the line hanging between the trees, and somehow laughed.
These were the laundry that Belldandy had hung up.
To say the biggest change over the past year is that Verdandy’s housekeeping ability has grown.
At first, she was not accustomed to using the body of a human woman and her physical strength was poor, but as time passed, she began to learn her housework little by little.
Even though Belldandy was a goddess, she grew little by little, proving that humans are creatures of adaptation.
She hadn’t learned the basics of cooking, washing, and cleaning yet, but that act of being considerate so that she could fully focus on her training was enough for Eun-hyeon now.

“Hey. How are you?”

Belldandy was slightly nervous as he watched Eunhyeon slowly eat the soup.
She had already climbed this mountain and fed her again and again, but Belldandy continued to be nervous whenever her Eunhyeon ate the rice she had made.

“It is delicious.”

To be honest, she was on the bland side, but she was fine with it because it was better than bland.
And she didn’t want to discourage Belldandi from trying to learn her household chores in order to support herself.

“I-really? Whoa…”

Belldandi was relieved to hear the answer she wanted, and she sighed.
As soon as her tension was relieved, the goddess filled with her laughter poured more soup into her Eunhyeon’s bowl.

“Eat a lot. Child.”

“Yes.”

Eunhyeon smiled at Belldandi who kept serving her soup.
However, that smile was more like a lonely smile containing some complicated thoughts than joy.
There was no way that Belldandi, who had been watching her Eunhyeon for a long time, would not be able to recognize her expression.

“… Kid? Why?”

“Just. Seeing Belldandi-nim taking care of me like this… It reminds me of the past.”

“Previous?”

“I think of my mother.”

Normally, if it were someone else, he might have taken Eunhyun’s words as a joke, but Belldandi couldn’t take it as a joke.

“…”

As she thought of opening and closing the spoon she was eating soup with, Eunhyeon put on a look that was immersed in memories of her.
The face of her mother, who laid her rice and side dishes generously in front of her and watched her eat, smiling happily, flashes into her mind.
Although 400 years had passed since she left, Eun-hyeon remembered her mother’s face exactly.
No matter how much time passes, the fact that she cannot forget her memory of the joy and sorrow coexisted is both her blessing and her curse.
Belldandi looked at Eunhyun’s expression without saying anything.
Until now, Eunhyun had never brought up a story about her family on her own.
It was a subject that both Belldandy and her other wives avoided.
Eun-hyeon’s family was all annihilated by the devil, and that incident was also the starting point of the incident that led Belldandi to discover her Eun-hyeon.

“The child… Is the child what the mother of the child wants to see?”

“… Well.”

Eunhyun put on a bitter expression and gave an ambiguous answer.
She was rather surprised at her own heart for not replying that she wanted to see her at once.
She probably won’t be impossible if she really wants and puts her mind to it.
Even Siete, whom she thought she would never see again, was reunited, so even if she didn’t want to revive her, it would be possible for her to meet and talk again.
Proserpina, the goddess of the underworld who manages the souls of the dead, also shows some favor to Eun-hyeon, so if she receives that favor, there is no possibility that Eun-hyeon will be reunited with his mother again.

“If you want a child, I…”

“No. It’s okay. Mr. Belldandi.”

Eunhyun laughed and shook his head.

“I am well aware of how privileged I am even now. It would be a luxury to be greedy for more than this.”

Already, Eun-hyeon received many blessings from other gods, not to mention Verdandi and her other sister goddesses.
She politely refused Belldandi’s favor, as she had no intention of disturbing the order or discipline of her divine realm with her personal request.
However, she did not completely give up on that possibility and request.

“Someday… When she accomplished a feat as a ‘half-god’ and attained her rightful place. I would like to formally ask Proserpina directly.”

She wanted to achieve it on her own, not through Belldandy.
The goddess, proud of her determination, nodded her head with a moved expression.

She said, “Okay. I… I will do my best to help the child. Then… I will have to work harder.”

“Yes.”

After the dinner that Belldandi had prepared, Eunhyeon went straight into the tent and slept with Belldandi.
It took half a year to repeat the swordsmanship training, descend the mountain, replenish supplies, and climb the mountain again to resume training.

Squeak

The huge boulder was smoothly cut away and fell to the ground.

Cooong!

The rock’s weight and hardness caused it to vibrate violently as it collided with the ground.

“At las…”

Eunhyeon looked at the cross section of the rock that had been cut and fell to the ground, and showed a proud expression.
Even if it’s a state that I would never have reached if it weren’t for the senses and experiences that I possessed while possessing myself in another parallel world, I can’t help but be deeply moved when I realize that I’ve finally stepped into the same position as my teacher.
Eunhyeon was certain that her swordsmanship had grown.
