Episode 170
I barely manage to get the stuck Mir off and head to the rooftop.
At the same time, I thought about the feeling I felt when I was surrounded by heat and cold.
It was an unfamiliar feeling that I had experienced for the first time in my life, but as I thought about it carefully, I realized something.
‘Is it thanks to Yin-Yangdo?’
What all weapons called new weapons, new items, and new weapons have in common is that they perform more than just the function of a weapon.
That was the case with all three weapons the Grand Master had.
The principle of Jinhapil of Onmyangdo is not simply limited to weapons, but also has an effect on the owner.
Simply put, simply by possessing the Yin-Yang Tao, one can acquire the sense to manage conflicting energies harmoniously.
Extreme positive and negative.
Heat and cold.
Fire and ice.
The reason why the two powers that cannot be mixed came together for a moment was probably because I, under the influence of the Yin-Yang Way, unconsciously controlled the two energies.
‘Is this also a clue?’
I thought that the way to reach the third level of the First Flame Flame was to completely master the purple flame, but… … .
I thought maybe there was another way.
This is the original state of martial arts.
Just as there is not one mountain path to the summit, you just have to find the path that suits you best.
‘It’s a shame.’
To be honest, I got a little annoyed every time I got a clue leading to the next step like this.
If the world around me had been a little more sane, the moment a thought occurred to me, I would have immediately immersed myself in the valley of my heart and focused on my training.
The term ‘closed training’ does not exist for nothing.
Separately, I thought that cutting ties with the secular world would be difficult to do with a sober mind.
As my thoughts reached this point, the thought of Baek No-gwang suddenly came to mind again.
‘What kind of life has Master gone through?’
This is a thought that often comes to mind after returning.
The strongest drone I know.
What prompted a person who was literally a god of nothingness to retreat alone in a remote world called Yeongsan?
This also goes to the trouble of recruiting disciples from other worlds.
‘To raise one’s adversary directly?’
Considering the teacher’s eccentric tendencies, this was the most likely reason… well.
Somehow, I thought that there might be a hidden reason that I couldn’t figure out even if I thought about it for a long time.
“hmm.”
The needlessly long hallway makes me think about all sorts of things.
I shook my head and cleared my thoughts.
The place where you fight Barter is on the rooftop.
Of course, it is the largest space in this building. The fact that there is nothing to get in the way is a secondary reason.
But there was a familiar face standing in front of the stairs leading to the rooftop.
It was Prince Glenn Scarlett.
“… … .”
What should I say about this?
When we met him at this point, he seemed a bit awkward.
First of all, our last meeting wasn’t that pleasant.
Of course, apart from that fact, I don’t feel much sorry for this guy.
Although he was a pathetic guy in many ways, he didn’t deviate from the standards I had set for him.
Since I am also a human being, I have no choice but to judge people with a subjective and biased perspective… … .
In that judgment standard, Glenn Scarlett did not particularly cross the line.
So what is my judgment standard?
The question is whether or not he is more pathetic than the Luan Badniker of the past.
“Luan.”
Glenn said in a stern voice.
I tilted my head and asked.
“Do you have anything to say?”
Maybe he was a little taken aback by my flat tone.
Glenn, who was shocked, put his hat on and said.
“Sorry.”
“what.”
“I kept thinking about what you said back then. I was angry at first. Because I thought, why are you talking so carelessly about what you know? but… … .”
“… … .”
“I heard you saved all the cadets in this building. The dean also said it. The moment he heard the screams, he immediately rushed to save us. And you didn’t even reveal your last name in the process. “I saved them as Luan, not Badniker, and was respected.”
As he spoke, his crouched head and narrow shoulders gradually straightened.
Soon Glenn looked straight at me.
“Everything you said to me was true.”
“… … .”
While listening to that, I couldn’t bear to ask this question.
‘What did I say?’
That’s because I’m the type of person who quickly forgets things I don’t think are important.
Anyway, since I am also a sensible person, I nodded roughly.

“Even in front of Lord Barter, you will not back down and carry out your will.”
“Ah, that’s enough. it’s okay.”
I waved my hand and cut Glenn off.
“What, what?”
“I apologized and I also expressed my appreciation. I don’t have any hard feelings towards you. “Let’s just treat what happened at the bar as just a fight.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Is that all you have to say?”
I asked and Glenn hesitated.
As expected, it doesn’t seem like he came simply to apologize.
“I don’t have a big relationship with Sister Perist.”
“huh?”
“Each member of the royal family has someone they rely on. Even if life is hellish, I can get through it just by thinking of that person. “He is like a beacon of life.”
What do you want to talk about?
I could have just ignored it and passed by, but Glenn’s expression looked desperate for some reason, so I couldn’t move easily.
I asked in response.
“Was the person you said you wanted to see before, your light?”
Glenn laughed slightly.
It was the most honest expression I saw after getting to know this guy.
“that’s right. He was a person who cared more than anyone else. Everyone liked my sister, including me, but she didn’t have a strong royal lineage. So he was disposed of. So what I mean is… … .”
Glenn closed his mouth.
There was silence for a moment as bright red eyes turned towards me.
First off, I know one thing.
This guy stood in front of me without properly organizing the words in his head.
“I don’t think Sister Perist had anyone like that.”
“hmm.”
“That’s not an indulgence. My sister’s actions were wrong, and so many people were swept away that it could not be called an aberration at all. The price will definitely have to be paid. So the reason I’m telling you this is… What should I say? Do you think you should know that? “I hate to say this out of my mouth.”
Glenn hesitated and then spoke.
“Sometimes I have this feeling. “I guess it’s my intuition as a member of the royal family.”
After finishing speaking, Glenn sighed loudly… … .
Only then did I somewhat remember what kind of conversation I had with this guy.
“Hey. “Glen, you.”
And as usual, I started saying whatever came into my head.
* * *
The moment I stepped onto the rooftop, a strong wind greeted me. Even in this twisted world, the wind seemed to be blowing.
“… … .”
There were more people gathered on the open rooftop than expected.
Not only is the opponent Barter, but also Dean Alderson and Youngdo are there.
Next to the Barter standing at the end, Marco and other members of the special task force could also be seen.
“older brother!”
There were even butterflies.
It seems like this is my first time seeing you in the behind-the-scenes world. When did you join?
Anyway, he is quite skilled and has received divine protection, so it is not unexpected that he is alive.
The butterfly that came right in front said with a tearful face.
“Why on earth is that like that?”
“what?”
“I heard you are dueling with Brother Barter… … !”
“yes?”
“As you know, Brother Barter is the head of the special task force! Lu, I know Brother Luan is strong, but at the level of the spirit… … .”
Afterwards, he walked away, brushing away the butterfly’s face that was talking nonsense, such as saying that he could get away with it now, or saying that he should think about Seren.
It was only then that I could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the Youngdo guys who were slightly away.
“… Luan guy. “Is it okay?”
“There’s no way it’s going to be okay. The other person is Goodspring’s eldest son. Besides, he’s part of a special task force.”
“Just looking at his age, Lord Barter is ten years older. It’s a gap that’s hard to fill with talent… … .”
“… “What on earth are you thinking, brother?”
Unexpectedly, everyone had a worried look on their faces.
Even Charon, Hector, and Seren know about me to some extent.
“Is it him? “The blood of Badniker, who proposed a match with the leader without even knowing the topic.”
“It’s ridiculous. Even Heero Badniker couldn’t compete with the leader… … .”
“… If you’re Badniker’s youngest child, you’re an incompetent child who even abandoned the Iron Blood Ball. “It’s not strange.”
The special forces behind Barter were openly whispering.
The only ones who react calmly are Dean Alderson, Evan Helvin, and the Mir Giant, who seems to have no idea.
‘ah.’
In fact, I realized once again that this was a natural reaction.
At this point, Luan Badniker is still a paragon of patheticness.
Although it was intentional to some extent… If the situation were like now, it would be a different story.
At the very least, I need to make sure that the people here are aware of my presence.
Emergency situation.
So much so that when faced with a desperate moment, he can follow my orders without hesitation.
I am.
I stepped on the thunderbolt.
Kurung!
“… … !”
The sound of footsteps engulfed the chaotic atmosphere.
At the first step, the true energy wave wrapped around the sole of my foot spread across the ground.
Kurrrr… … !
Then, a vibration sound reminiscent of thunder in a dark cloud rang out everywhere. For a moment, the entire building seemed to tremble.
A martial art I created.
Luan Badnicker’s German martial arts skills.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I only took three steps, but my surroundings changed.
“… “What about that gait?”
“It was a rough and subversive mana operation. So much so that I set up a defensive posture without even realizing it… … .”
“… “How old was Luan Badnicker?”
“Has Badniker been hiding such talent this whole time?”
I also saw the special forces looking at me with surprised eyes.
I looked at my opponent without paying attention.
In Barter’s hand was a fairly large shield. It was large enough to completely cover the upper body if erected properly.
“I’d like to suggest a duel format.”
Barter wasn’t surprised by my sudden informal language.
The moment he saw my thunderbolt, all he did was his expression harden slightly. First of all, the look of disdain had almost disappeared.
“… “Say it.”
“Let’s end it all together. It looks like you are confident in your defense, but if you block my power, I will admit defeat.”
Barter’s eyebrows twitched.
“I think the conditions are too advantageous for me.”
“Not really.”
Having time to gather strength is a huge advantage for me as a master of the Hundred Illusions.
Barter doesn’t know that.
“Why did you even suggest that format?”
“We have to save each other’s mana. If we fight properly, we don’t know what will happen to each other. What happens if emotions get too strong and one person gets seriously injured or dies? “I haven’t even fought with the princess yet.”
“… … .”
I probably would have laughed at this before stepping on the thunderbolt, but it is different now.
Barter, who was glaring at me, nodded.
“I will accept the offer.”
Kwaang… … !
Barter planted his shield into the ground and then positioned himself as if he were hiding behind cover.
Wow, I could feel several blessings overlapping on my solid body.
“The protection of the iron wall… … !”
“I can’t believe the leader prepared like that… … .”
“You have fully activated the Divine Shield. Even if it were a giant’s fist, it would be able to easily repel it… … .”
“… … .”
Meanwhile, I also took a pose and concentrated. The voices of the onlookers gradually fade away.
Heating of mind and body.
It draws in the heat of the whole body, giving the feeling of nurturing a small spark blooming in the heart.
‘Barter Goodspring.’
Heero is a super genius of the Goodspring family who is comparable to Badniker.
I felt that an opponent of that caliber was doing his best to fight against me.
In that case, it would be rude for me to also attack with a clumsy mindset.
I don’t know how much I can do, but I will do my best.
That’s it… … .
I tightened my muscles. The circulation speed of the veins was artificially accelerated. The clenched fist was fixed like a rebar, and inner strength was applied as if painting over it.
Meanwhile, the whole body temperature rose to just the ideal level.
“Haaa… … .”
I let out a hot breath.
I saw the solidly erected shield, and the Barter beyond it.
The martial art that I will perform is scorching fire, the first type of the hundred sun type.
Here, I plan to add the key points of Balgyeong that I recently discovered and the techniques of the inner double number method that my second sister-in-law enjoyed using.
If you can use it successfully, the strength of your shield won’t matter.
Suuuu-.
Immediately after taking a deep breath, run straight ahead.
From the soles of my feet as I naturally stepped on the thunderbolt, I felt an exhilarating energy surging for an instant.
The thunder energy that suddenly appeared ran down my calves and thighs and wrapped around my fists.
‘Is it union again?’
I laughed because I thought it wasn’t that bad.
In my own interpretation, the images of fire and lightning were very similar… … .
This is because metal shields cannot be an obstacle in front of Noegi.
The sound of my heartbeat rang in my ears.
The tight body withstood the complex flow of true energy.
And the outstretched fist touched the shield.
The first burning heat.
Paaaaaa!
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… what?”
Someone spoke in a vain voice.
Because nothing happened.
The shield was intact, and the bater standing behind it was unharmed.
Just as I intended.
“… … .”
Barter said nothing.
He was frozen like a stone statue with his shield up, just staring straight at me with wide-open eyes.
It didn’t cause any internal injuries… … .
You must definitely be feeling the remnants of my inner energy permeating your entire body.
The feeling of unauthorized mana intruding into the body would be unpleasant, like a bug burrowing under the skin.
You must have realized it at the same time.
If I had put my mind to it, I could have torn my insides to shreds with just one fist.
‘No.’
Could it be that you don’t know?
The use of internal energy using not only the three veins but also the whole body muscles, the core of Balgyeong learned in the fight against the demonic corps commander, the secret of the inner neutral method that the second sister-in-law enjoyed using, the sudden combination of brain energy, and even a pinch of consideration mixed in… … .
There was too much meaning contained in the first volume.
I suddenly became curious.
How far did Barter feel?
“Barter Goodspring.”
I tilted my head and asked simply.
“… Do you understand?”
“… … .”
