Chapter 666 – 666. The Virtual World (3)
A rock several times larger than Eun-hyeon was cut into a clean section.
The small vibration caused by falling to the floor and colliding with the ground literally means that Eunhyun has achieved the level she wanted.
It is not a skill that a normal swordsman can do to cleanly cut a rock twice as big as himself with a mediocre iron sword, not even a famous sword.
It was a very big change that he did it with only his own skill, rather than even borrowing magical power, divine power, or the power of a special god’s weapon.
“This… Combination of body and sword…”
He devoted his whole life to swordsmanship, and even so, a state that many swordsmen could not reach.
A new starting point for swordsmen to reach the end of swordsmanship, where a person becomes a sword, and at the same time a sword becomes a person, and a sword and a person become one.
Eunhyeon smiled a little, confident in her achievement.
The pride that he was finally able to put his foot in the place where his teacher, Siete, was able to follow him, fills his heart.
It was also achieved in a shorter time than originally imagined.
Eun-hyeon originally assumed that the remaining time for this virtual world to be maintained, one year, as her target time, and in the worst case scenario, she could not achieve this level and returned to the lower world.
However, being able to realize it after 6 months seemed like a bright light was being cast in a dark place that was filled with darkness to Eun-hyeon, who had no talent.
Eunhyeon inadvertently stared at her arm holding his iron sword.
At the same time as the muscle fatigue felt from the trembling arms, the excitement and elation created by the mysterious sense of becoming one with the sword did not fade easily.
“You did it! Aye!”
Belldandy was genuinely happy with Eunhyun’s change and growth.
After quietly watching Eun-hyeon’s training at the campsite, he ran to Eun-hyeon, unable to control his happy feelings.
“Great job! Really troublesome!”
He immediately hugged him and stroked his hair.
It is as if he is smiling broadly at his son who received the first grade report card in school.
“Thank you.”
Treating herself as a child was a bit complicated, but Eunhyeon wasn’t feeling too bad right now.
In any case, he felt proud that his efforts had borne fruit with great achievements.
As if responding to Belldandy’s skinship as he hugged her tightly, he wrapped his arms around the goddess’s waist and hugged her tightly.
“Shall we go back now?”
“Already? Aren’t you tired?”
Now, as the sun went down, the dark night was getting ready, and it was time to prepare for a late dinner.
Originally, going down the mountain road at this late hour was not a good choice.
The temperature was cool at night when the sun went down, and the night wind took away body heat so easily.
In addition, you may encounter wild animals, so it is even more disadvantageous in the dark night when visibility is limited.
However, it is a story that is accepted by the standards of ordinary people.
He was confident in his physical strength, and it wasn’t a big constraint for Eun-hyeon, who had crossed countless dead lines.
“I am still fine.”
To be honest, Eunhyeon was a little tired, but this was not a big problem.
On the contrary, his heart was lifted up with the pride of having achieved it, and he felt more energetic than usual.
“And it’s better to rest comfortably at home under a blanket than to go camping.”
“Um… I agree with that.”
Belldandy nodded his head with a small moan.
He said he had a tent, but it didn’t feel too good for Verdandi to camp on hard ground with cold winds that didn’t completely block it.
The reason why Belldandi has been trying to endure this camp was to fully support Eun-hyeon.
Eunhyeon didn’t feel the need to be here, but Belldandy didn’t want to be here either.
“If the child is okay… I don’t care.”
Eunhyeon and Belldandy quickly organized the campsite.
If there was one thing that was different from when he first climbed the mountain, it was Belldandy, who was getting used to the body of a human woman.
The first time he climbed the mountain, Eun-hyeon carried him on his back, but now he can walk down the mountain on his own feet.
It seems that the repeated descent and mountain climbing to supply food and supplies in the middle helped quite a bit.
Even though he didn’t lift any heavy burdens and came down with the help of Eunhyun holding her hand, that alone was a huge step forward for Belldandi.
Eunhyeon and Belldandi were able to come down the mountain completely and return to Yeongjian’s house after midnight.
Upon returning, the two immediately prepared a bath.
I warmed up the warm water in advance, took off my dusty and sweaty clothes, and headed to the bathroom.
Perhaps because they had already done a lot of things, Eunhyeon and Belldandy didn’t show any shyness at all.
Rather, they washed each other’s bodies and soaked in the bath.
“Hey…”
“Yes. Mr. Belldandi.”
The tension that was released as soon as they immersed themselves in a warm bath with steam rising quickly led the two’s emotions in a different direction.
Looking at each other, their hot eyes lit up, and they hugged each other and kissed each other.
◆ ◆ ◆
Eunhyeon and Belldandy lay down on the bed while having a hot time overlapping each other in the bathroom.
“What are you going to do tomorrow?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing?”
“Yes. I don’t want to do anything. Just…”
Eunhyun hugged Belldandy, who was lying on the bed with her.
“I want to be like this, Belldandy-sama, until this world ends.”
“…”
I don’t want to do anything.
There are no demons that threaten the world, and no villains to stand in their way.
The only existence to protect and be responsible for is Belldandy.
The sense of responsibility that had weighed on her for a long time had disappeared, and now Eun-hyeon had a very peaceful expression on her face.
Seeing that face that he thought only of himself, not thinking of anything else, made Verdandi proud that he had created this virtual world.
“Okay. I get it.”
As if responding to Eunhyun’s hug, Belldandi hugged Eunhyun tightly and gently stroked her hair.
“You can do whatever the child wants to do. This place… It’s a world only for children. What do you want to do first?”
“First…”
Eunhyun carefully organized the thoughts that came to her head.
As a result of fate, Eun-hyeon, the owner of the largest merchant in the territory, has too much money to rot and overflow.
Six months seemed like a long time, but it was not infinite.
On the other hand, there were so many things I wanted to do that I had to organize them in my head.
“I want to go on a date with Belldandy.”
Hearing Eunhyeon’s wish mixed with pure goodwill and expectation, Verdandi smiled and nodded his head.
“That’s what I’m looking forward to too.”
◆ ◆ ◆
The Duchy of Armitas was quite noisy today as well.
This is because the streets of the shopping district, where many types of stores are located, were crowded with various types of people.
Merchants purveyors of water, tourists, and adventurers looking to relax or explore quality equipment.
Alchemists and blacksmiths who turned on the light in their eyes and searched for various reagents or materials walked the streets with their own goals.
As the size of the crowd was large, the races were also diverse.
“Hey! That ore is what I wanted!”
“Sounds like nothing! Whoever picks it up first wins!”
“Uh huh, this friend? Did you smash your conscience with a hammer and throw it on the street!?”
“Excuse me… Calculate…”
Most of them were human, but the next most common ones were dwarves with short stature, the size of a human waist, elves with slender bodies and long ears, and not a few beasts with beast ears.
The sight of numerous non-human races in one place was full of a very heterogeneous feeling, but rather, it was very natural and full of contradictions.
Erin, naturally immersed in the scene, was following Siete, who was accompanying her now.
“Wait, Grand Master…”
Erin cried and begged Siete.
“We… When are you coming back?”
“We are still far away.”
“It’s far!? Look at these pockets across my hands now!”
Erin reached out her arms to Siete as if she had a seizure at Siete’s calm reply to her despairing story.
Erin’s arms were dangling from pouches hung by strings.
The number itself, which was easily crossed by ten at a simple glance, was very unusual.
Food bought as a snack, high-quality alcohol, and elixirs that bring positive changes to the body just by eating.
Excluding the snacks I bought as a snack, all of them boasted an enormous amount of money.
“What’s the matter?”
Siete tilted her head, not understanding what Erin was trying to say.
It is not likely that Erin is pointing out the price of her purchases.
The funds for the shopping she is doing now is Eun-hyeon’s pocket money she received along with Eun-hyeon’s permission that she can use it wherever she wants.
“What, what’s wrong… How much more do you want to buy?”
“I haven’t found what I want yet.”
“What the hell… Ha…”
Erin held back her questioning and let out a sigh.
The day after Eunhyeon went on vacation with Belldandi.
Erin, who had been waiting on Siete on behalf of his vacant seat, said that she was looking for something, and she had been walking around the streets of this shopping district for four hours.
It was absurd that she didn’t even know what she was looking for.
As a result of wandering around the commercial buildings, snacking on delicious food from street vendors, and buying good-looking alcohol or elixirs at random, the result was now.
It has been 4 hours since he boasted that he would fill Eun-hyeon’s vacancy instead.
Erin quickly regretted it.
“Hyunah… I miss you…”
Less than 24 hours had passed since she headed to her divine realm at the invitation of Belldandy, but she was already missing her husband’s face.
The current Erin was full of her heart, wanting to be freed from Te at the Assassin.
As Erin slowly walked down the street, following Siete with her head drooping, she paused in front of a drug store shelf.
“Hmm?”
Among the products on the shelf, medicinal materials with a special clean energy caught Siete’s attention.
Siete realized that it was the elixir he was looking for.
I didn’t know her name or appearance, but I was able to recognize her at a glance because of the neat yet powerful energy of the elixir.
“Master. This…”
“How much is this?”
She was just about to purchase an elixir from the display shelf with her finger, when another woman’s voice intervened and her voice overlapped.
“…”
Siete frowned at her realizing that her interruption had been interrupted.
Immediately she reached her hand to take the elixir from the shelf, but the woman whose voice interrupted her interrupted her by grabbing Siete’s wrist.
“… What are we going to do?”
“This is not an elixir that ordinary humans can handle.”
“Under. Is that person capable of handling this?”
“…”
Hearing Siete’s sarcasm, the woman frowned at her and met Siete’s gaze.
Erin, who belatedly confirmed the woman’s identity, put her woman’s name in her mouth with a surprised expression.
“Uh… Are you Miho?”
It was a nine-tailed fox who was revived through the efforts of Eunhyeon and Illyana and taught magic to Erin, who inherited that power.
“Miho! Why did you suddenly run away like that… Uh? Miss Erin?”
Gerard, who had followed the nine-tailed fox belatedly, found Siete and Erin and put on a bewildered expression.
