Chapter 279 – Chapter 279- Secret of the Soul (26)
The day after suppressing the madness of the sword demon sisters.
Visor-. Visor-. Visor-.
I woke up to the ringing in my ears, the sound of metal colliding with metal.
“Mmm.”
It was difficult to grasp the time inside the cave, which always had a calm white light.
I glanced towards the entrance of the cave.
The faint light of the sun.
It’s been more than two weeks since I’ve been here, so I could guess how much time had passed just by looking at that.
It was early morning.
Chaeeng-. Chaeeng-. Chaeeng-.
Hearing the sound of blades clashing, which became increasingly violent, I stood up.
“Turn it off.”
After stretching once, let’s go outside.
As I expected, Chuck Dayoon and Darae were facing swords.
She put on a hairpin, and her red hair, which was tied in a braid, fluttered in the air and at the same time a sparkling line was drawn.
Chuck Dayun fluttered his white clothes and caught the shiny line.
Chaeeng-!
It was a battle that was hard to follow with the eyes.
The afterimage of the sword reflected in the sunlight did not stop for a moment.
Moreover, since both of them were using twin swordsmanship, the afterimages of the sparkling swords filled the space.
Chae-chae-chae-!
In the space where Da-yoon Cheok and Darae confront each other, there were only the remnants of the sword wielding and the remnants of the sword fighting.
Neither of them backed down one step.
Every time the metal collided, a sparkling light burst out.
And as if possessed by the light, the Sword Demon sisters continued to push themselves into it.
“It’s amazing.”
I sat down on the floor and watched them both.
The workshop of the two, which is helpful just by looking at it, was beautiful and gorgeous at the same time, enough to stick out your tongue.
Without using sword skills at all, the battle between the two purely clashing swords gradually came to an end.
It’s different from how they kept their distance from each other and swung their swords.
Chuck Da-yoon suddenly closed the distance and swung it briefly as if cutting off a sword.
Caan-!
Despite the remarkably short interval between the swings, Chuck Da-yoon’s blow pushed away the long-stretched sword.
As the tip of Darae’s sword shook, so did Darae’s pupils.
And it ended just like that.
Dayoon Cheok’s blade stopped right in front of Darae’s neck, and Darae’s sword barely reached Dayoon Chuck.
“I won.”
“Sheesh.”
Whirik.
Chuck Da-yoon, who stylishly pushed the two swords into the handles, gave a small smile.
Darae pushed the sword into his handle the same way, with a regretful look on his face, as if admitting his defeat.
I clapped as I watched.
“Cool.”
The two of them bowed their heads, probably embarrassed by my praise.
Then, recognizing that they were doing the same thing, they looked at each other with strange eyes.
Gulp.
Seeing the jealousy and tension lingering around, I immediately approached them.
“First of all, the sparring is over. Let’s go eat.”
“Okay.”
I’ll come over and push the two of you on the back.
The two reluctantly followed my hand and moved it.
As I was pushing the Sword Demon sisters, a sweet scent passed through my nose.
Sweat was beading on the nape of their necks.
I silently watched the drops of sweat dripping from the nape of my neck, as white as white jade.
Chuck Da-yoon and Darae must have noticed my gaze, and immediately ran away like squirrels.
“My… Smells like it.”
Darae, who was about to prepare to fall into the well next to it, asked me.
“Oh, that smells good.”
The two had the same sweet smell as if they were not sisters.
Let’s twitch our nose, recalling the scent that exuded twice as much sweetness.
Darae quietly approached me.
“Really, do you like this smell? Hanjun?”
Darae looked up at me with eyes that were half scarlet and half gold.
And slowly, I showed the nape of my neck, which I was looking at earlier.
Seruk.
Darae blushed and brushed away the hair that was clinging to his neck.
“……”
The figure of Darae showing his neck while being shy was really the best.
As I silently raised my thumb, Chuck Dayun also crept up to him and brushed his hair to the side.
“… Cowardly.”
Darae looked at Chuck Dayoon and muttered.
Chuck Da-yun avoids Darae’s gaze and leans his back on my hand.
Not to fall behind, he leaned his back on my hand.
That’s how I led the sword demon sisters who had been bickering since morning and returned to the cave.
* *
Last night.
As always, Chuck Dayoon headed for the barrier he had created.
Unlike before, it was Chuck Da-yoon, who shared his madness in half with Darae, and his sword became dull.
Needed our help.
‘Just slash the approaching tentacles. Six days from now, when the mass is weakened by periodically spitting Shadow Fiends. I’ll have to remove the lump then, but not now.’
After Chuck Da-yoon made us promise not to go deep into the barrier, and only cut off the tentacles approaching the barrier.
Entered the barrier with us.
Upon entering the barrier, the presence of a mass nestled deep within the barrier approached even louder.
A collection of twisted souls.
It is indescribable and overflowing with energy, just like true blood.
No, it was something more than that.
“Kiik… Kiik!”
What greeted us as we entered the barrier were densely covered shadow fiends.
Imitating the shamans and monsters that existed in the original world, they vomited magic and witchcraft in all directions.
But that didn’t really matter.
No matter how dull the sword was, even if it was Chuck Da-yoon, the gray-white sword erased everything.
Also, as Dayun Cheok’s sword skill became thinner, Darae’s sword skill became thicker.
Whoa-!
Accompanied by a low vibrating sound, the four-pronged gray-white sword that cuts through witchcraft and sorcery ruthlessly tore through the shadow demons.
Besides, I wasn’t watching.
Heartbeat-.
I could feel the incantation and witchcraft that came into my field of vision.
I could feel everything else that was out of sight.
Sangjeonhyeon.
After turning reality into the world of images, my realm has risen even further.
It’s hard to express something concretely, but I’ll give you a rough idea.
In addition to the energy normally felt from sorcery and witchcraft, something else was felt.
I silently watched the sorcery and witchcraft approaching me, then whispered.
“Reverse.”
The incantation and sorcery coming this way began to change.
It would have been unimaginable if it had been a transfer.
At the same time, dozens of spells from far away, not even from close range, were reversed at the same time.
I was clearly aware of the foreign sensations felt within the magic.
Heartbeat-.
The heterogeneous sensations felt inside the body, and the sensations felt from sorcery and witchcraft.
For a moment, as if I had written a sangjeonhyeon, the information of all things flowed into my head.
I instinctively manifested another ability.
“Harmony.”
The changed sorcery was mixed with the existing sorcery.
It won’t be long before it becomes entangled like a whirlpool.
Disappeared without a trace.
Not one, but the sorcery and witchcraft that filled the surroundings disappeared at the same time.
“This.”
Chuck Da-yoon, who was watching, muttered blankly.
I did that, but I couldn’t believe it myself.
As I watched what I had done in a state of bewilderment, a tentacle suddenly jumped out of the ground.
Chew!
Darae cut the tentacles with the sword.
Unlike Chuck Da-yoon’s sword, which was on the verge of being completely consumed by madness, Darae’s black tentacles could not be cut off at once.
However, when Chuck Da-yoon arrived later and swung his sword from the other side, the tentacle fell off.
That’s how we fended off the tentacles trying to break the rift yesterday.
“Hmm.”
Quietly recalling yesterday’s events, I wiggled my fingers.
Back in the cave, still recalling the elusive sensation, Chuck Dayoon told me.
“Hey, can I ask you for breakfast today?”
“Of course. Even if my sister wanted to do it anyway, I would have done it.”
Chuck Da-yoon became sullen.
Darae was curious about what breakfast was.
I opened my eyes wide as if I had suddenly realized my true identity.
“No way, that porridge and meat.”
“Uh, how did you know the menu?”
“I just heard the conversation, and the delicious thing must have been made by you, Hanjun.”
“…. What?”
Darae looked at Chuck Dayoon and me as if he had tried it.
“Did you keep watching me?”
Chuck Da-yoon did not make eye contact with Darae.
Darae made a strange expression and sat down.
The two of them, who had been talking with swords since morning, didn’t say a word awkwardly in the cave.
However, the two sisters, equally drenched in sweat, seemed to have gotten along much better than before.
“Do you feel the decrease in mania?”
“It’s so big. In an instant, the invisible things increased, but I think I’ll be able to catch up soon since I’ve reached the level I’ve reached.”
Chuck Dayun answered me, groping the scabbard with his fingertips.
“Darae, you.”
“Your senses are broad enough to catch up with Dayoon Cheok soon.”
Chuck Dayoon and Darae faced each other.
“It’s still a long way off.”
“Soon.”
Looking at the two bickering again, I went into the kitchen without saying a word.
Entering the kitchen, I put today’s menu on the cutting board.
Well, today’s menu, as usual, was rabbit meat and grass.
I started thinking slowly.
“Hmm.”
The rabbit meat seemed to be just okay, and it could be salt-grilled.
Full dead…
Glance.
After looking into the cave, I looked down at my lower body.
“Should I do this?”
Yang added.
Because when added to porridge, the yang energy is much deeper.
I’m debating whether to include it or not.
“You.”
“…?!”
When I just checked, there was definitely Chuck Da-yoon in the cave.
At one point, it was nestled behind my back.
Chuck Dayoon showed me the tips of his trembling fingers, then he grabbed my lower half.
“I’ll help you make breakfast.”
And, of course, Darae, who couldn’t stand still watching Chuck Dayoon, followed and grabbed my lower body.
“… I… I’ll help too.”
“……”
In the end, I couldn’t do either one, and I put Yanggi in a bowl of porridge for Darae and Dayun Cheok to eat.
