Episode 98
Although I have never seen the overall appearance of Yeongsan, I know its approximate shape.
A rocky mountain that is long and thin enough to be dangerous.
Of course, the road down the mountain was bound to be a precarious cliff road.
“Whoa… … .”
I sighed.
As of today, 7 days, or a week, have passed.
My progress during that time was… … .
[Current progress: 1.44%.]
“… “I think I’m premature.”
At this speed, even if you run straight without resting, you won’t even be able to see the ground.
This means that we need to change our methods… … . The question is ‘how’.
“… hmm.”
There is one thing I want to test.
Jeopuk-.
I stood at the edge of a precarious cliff and looked down.
A road was vaguely visible through the fog.
If the cliff road of Yeongsan is in the shape of a whirlwind rising up the surface of the mountain… … .
It would be much faster to just jump than to walk honestly.
“I wonder if it will work without my skills… … .”
First of all, it seemed higher than the rooftop of Badnicker’s main residence.
No matter how trained my body was, it was not a safe height.
but… … .
“… … .”
When did you live your life worrying about such things?
fault.
I jumped without hesitation.
Nettle -. It was difficult to open my eyes because of the air resistance, but I looked straight down.
Of course, what is more important than jumping is landing accurately.
The landing point is a precarious and narrow cliff path.
If you make a mistake, you’ll say, ‘Oops! ‘I made a mistake!’ It doesn’t end like that.
thud… … .
Fortunately, I landed with perfect posture.
A stabbing pain rose from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, but I sighed.
[Current progress: 1.51%.]
[FAD’s one-line review: A cowardly expedient! You’re good at keeping your head down!]
“shut up.”
I ignored FAD’s words with one ear.
* * *
It was an ignorant method, but it was definitely effective.
[Current progress: 9.84%.]
One tenth of it passed in an instant.
This achievement was achieved only five days after adopting this method and twelve days after starting the descent.
‘It seems like my legs are getting stronger somehow.’
FAD saw this method and thought it was an expedient method, but isn’t this actually a standard strategy?
… I realized that was a wrong idea the next morning.
Pipbit-.
[Current progress: 10%.]
It was a memorable moment when we achieved 10 percent.
Coooooo!
“100 million… … !?”
I fell flat on the ground like a frog due to the sudden pressure I felt.
“This again, oh oh, what the heck…” … !”
It’s not just that I’m not in good condition or anything like that… … .
I suddenly became so heavy, as if my weight had increased ten times, that it was difficult to move.
“ha ha ha… … .”
At this rate, it won’t be easy to even walk slowly, one step at a time, let alone run.
“… Sigh, baaal-!”
I couldn’t hold back my laughter and ended up swearing.
Our Yeongsan has changed dramatically in the short time we’ve been gone… … !
thud… … ! thud… … !
I moved forward step by step as if I were a giant.
Of course, the physical strain is no joke.
One thing is clear.
You can no longer use shortcuts like jumping off a cliff.
If I were to jump in my current state, my whole body would turn to mush, or I would lose my footing and fall down a cliff a thousand miles away.
So should I honestly walk down the cliff again?
With a body as heavy as this one?

… I tried walking.
“That’s it… … !”
Saliva is flowing from the mouth.
A bizarre movement that feels like twisting the body rather than moving it.
That’s right, the body of a fifteen year old.
Even though my basic physical strength has improved through the Gem Mountains and the training, I am still very weak.
After only going twenty steps, I lay down on the spot again.
“Huh, huh… … .”
My whole body was sweating as if I had sprinted 20km, and my legs, especially my thighs, were hot as if I had been burned.
“Plague… … .”
I forced my head to look down the cliff road.
All I can still see is fog.
I don’t even think about looking at the ground yet, but if I have to say this damn thing every time I take 20 steps… … .
Even if there are 1,000 days rather than 100, it is not enough.
‘100 days… … .’
To be exact, there are now 87 days left.
Can you really hit the ground in that time?
Impossible.
The moment the word appeared in my mind.
Pipbit-.
[Do you want to call RAN-4700 Type-A?]
[Y/N]
I raised my head.
And with a slightly dazed mind, I looked at the screen displayed by FAD.
“… hey.”
[yes.]
“You said I could summon the fourth death penalty through you, right?”
[That’s right.]
“Then, is it possible that the fourth executioner is also watching me right now?”
[…] … .]
FAD was silent for the first time.
[That’s right.]
He responded like that.
“… … .”
I came to my senses as if I had been doused with cold water.
Before my head could think any more nonsense, I slapped both cheeks.
slap!
“… “Whoa.”
I can’t show this pitiful behavior to the fourth brother, not to anyone else.
To me, the death penalty was like a real brother, but at the same time, it was a competitor.
Of course, all four of them were too far up the tree for me to climb, but I hope to surpass all of them someday.
This is a thought I had all along even before the ambassador went astray.
I’ve never told anyone though.
[Do you want to call RAN-4700 Type-A?]
[Y/N]
Suddenly, this thought occurred to me.
Could it be that it is not the box that displays this message, but the judgment of the death penalty?
Maybe he predicted that I would give up at this point.
Fourth, it is a simulation or something that the executioner often does.
Do you think so?
“… “I’m just pissed.”
I have a twisted personality.
Strangely enough, I felt more motivated when I was ignored than when I was expected to.
So, the spirit of rebellion is one of my important elements.
dump!
I lay down on the cliff path.
Even though his body was heavy, he was able to hold on as he stretched out to a large size.
‘Let’s cool down first… … .’
First, let’s list the bad things about me.
Limited time of 50 days.
A destination with no end in sight yet.
A force that cannot be recovered.
And the positive thing is… … .
No need to eat anything.
No need to sleep.
Physical recovery is fast.
“… uh?”
There, somehow, I felt like I realized something.
Suddenly… I wanted to get up from my seat, but I couldn’t and I got up like a slug.
And then I sat cross-legged.
Although it wasn’t as hard as standing, I felt like sitting was also hard work.
‘My vertebrae are stiff…’ … .’
I tried to ignore the stinging pain and started practicing the First Flame of Chloride.
Hwareuk… … .
As I said before, the most outstanding secondary effect of Chloride First Ball is its physical regeneration ability.
If the effect matches that of Yeongsan -.
“… ah.”
It’s as expected.
Muscles that had been torn to the limit were recovering quickly.
“It’s not some kind of troll… … .”
Even when I look at it, it is a level of recovery that is disgusting.
At this level, wouldn’t it be possible to regenerate a few fingers in an instant even if they are cut off? Of course, I didn’t feel like testing it.
Anyway, I got up.
And with his recovered body, he takes a stomping step again.
Every time I took a step, fatigue piled on me, and my whole body felt like it was being torn apart.
‘yet… … .’
I kept walking, my body screaming out of one ear.
And at the point where I really felt like I couldn’t walk anymore, I collapsed on the spot… Ungong again.
I repeated that process for an entire day.
And the next day… … .
Jeopuk-.
I somehow regained my normal walking pace.
It still looks like he sprained his spine or leg, but compared to yesterday’s clown-like gait, it’s a good thing.
“… “It’s leg strength.”
I tapped my tight thigh with my fist hammer.
It was extremely difficult, but I could see a direction.
* * *
You might say it’s surprising, but.
Even in Yeongsan, where there is no boundary between night and day, there is a way to realize the passage of time.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-.
Just once a day.
A strange crying sound is heard from beyond the fog.
Crow? eagle?
I’m not sure, but I think it looks like a strange bird I’ve never seen before.
Anyway, he is a guy I am grateful to.
I can feel the passage of time because of FAD, but thanks to that crying sound, I feel like the day is starting.
It could be said to be a hen exclusively for Yeongsan.
“Tsk… … .”
I got up from my seat.
As of today, 30 days have passed, exactly one month.
What changes have occurred during this time?
First of all, my body has been trained quite well.
To some extent, I was able to sprint for 10 minutes.
Of course, after that, you have to collapse on the spot and start moving quickly… … .
I realized this by repeating the process.
Running is running, but even more important than that is luck.
Is it because of the limited time of 100 days?
Recently, we are considering ways to transport it more quickly.
[Current progress: 17.6%.]
Even though the progress is not even 20% yet, it feels like it ignites those feelings.
Although the pace is accelerating, it is still tight.
‘I don’t even know what unexpected situation is waiting down there… … .’
It was like I had suddenly gained weight.
“… “It’s luck.”
Basically, the purpose of all training is to improve internal strength.
Of course, the core structure is also specialized for that -.
Therefore, the excellent recovery and physical regeneration ability of Cheonhwa Jeilgong can be seen as a secondary effect.
It feels like something is out of sync with my current purpose.
Because I want to maximize recovery rather than increase endurance.
“… … .”
I was hesitating one last time before running.
Actually, I’ve been thinking deeply about this all day recently.
I didn’t let this thought go until I ran, flew, and took a short break.
but… … .
There is no other way than this.
“… “I have no choice but to slightly tweak the texture.”
Although I said it lightly, it is something that requires risking one’s life.
I know how dangerous it is to change the structure of the law.
It is inside the human body that internal energy circulates, and naturally, in the process, it passes through parts that can be called vital points several times.
If the revised structure fails to take that into account, or if an incident occurs in an unexpected place… … .
… Moreover, this martial art is not a mind technique with a flaw somewhere.
For convenience, the original name of this martial art, which is called Cheonhwa First Ball, is the ancient and modern First Ball, and it has the attribute of fire -.
Unlike the Hundred Days Ceremony, it is a Shingongjeolhak created by the teacher from one to ten.
I know very well how arrogant and crazy it is for someone like me to make changes.
I know, but I still do it!
Still, at my current level, wouldn’t it be possible to make some changes?!
“Wow!”
There was no way.
As I performed the attack according to the arbitrarily modified rules, my entire body’s energy and energy were distorted, and I ended up spitting out bright red blood from the recoil.
Normally, it would have been an internal injury that would have required recuperation while lying in a hospital bed for dozens of days… … .
The damaged energy was quickly regenerated after some time had passed.
The same was true for internal organs damage.
This is just my prediction, but it seems like any wound can be healed here as long as you don’t die.
In other words, it’s a crazy thing that can only be done at this point.
“… “Is there any other such ignorant martial arts improvement in the world?”
This is not a crazy alchemist who conducts human experiments with his own body.
Still, because I was as intuitive as I was ignorant, I was able to immediately realize errors in composition or omitted elements and correct them.
At the same time, continue thinking without stopping.
Why is Cheiltan Cheilgong so good at physical recovery?
This is because the inner space created by this structure has the nature of a flame.
Flames are often seen as a symbol of thawing warmth, life, and rebirth, but… … .
It is also called Gyeophwa (劫火) in the sense of fear of its indiscriminate burning.
So, in my opinion, I think it is the most contradictory element among the five elements.
Needless to say, the Yanhua First Ball created by the teacher is a subversive martial art.
So, the biggest effect of this martial art is that it maximizes the power of the herbivore used… … .
This may be the reason why Baek Il Sik, which is inseparable from Chloride First Ball, is a destructive martial art.
but… … .
Is there any reason why this should be the case?
If the starting point of Cheonhwa First Ball is a flame, wouldn’t it be okay to focus on its gentle part?
Because it wouldn’t be a big departure from the essence.
‘… wait for a sec.’
At that moment, what suddenly crossed my mind was the second half of the Hundred Days Ceremony, which was one of my headaches.
Musin advised that Chosik in the second half should be made stronger than the first half… … .
Is it absolutely necessary to do so?
The most important thing in a fight is the transition between attack and defense.
So, if you make the second half of the herbivore into a herbivore that focuses on defense or evasion rather than attack… … .
And if that transition is faster and freer than anything else… … .
Isn’t that the perfect form of martial arts called Hundred Illumsik?
“haha… … .”
I burst out laughing.
They say inspiration only comes at unexpected moments, and that’s exactly what happens.
fantasy,
