#Episode 1050
When faced with a truth that is far beyond expectations, people’s reactions are largely divided into two types.
Either you fall into confusion without understanding the truth, or you freeze after guessing the tremendous shock and weight contained in the truth.
The Blood Sword Demon was the former.
“What is that… … ?”
He thought about it in a daze, even forgetting the pain.
The voice he had heard a moment ago continued to echo in Da Madou’s ears as he faced the despairing reality of being abandoned by the master he had worshiped like a god.
‘Because you shouldn’t fall down here. ‘Because I have to become stronger than I am now.’
The words of the great wizard towards Jin Tae-gyeong were something that the Blood Sword Demon Lord could never understand no matter how many times he thought about it.
Tosa-gu-pin?
Even if I felt betrayed, I couldn’t help it.
If the strong want blood, the weak must shed that blood.
Because it is a law of the world that even he, who has walked the magic path his whole life, knows well.
I still don’t know why I was eliminated after devoting myself to heaven and earth, but I had no choice but to accept it since I had come this far.
But apart from that.
Why, why, for what reason.
Would the master he followed be willing to entrust the execution of his loyal hunting dog to the enemy, even at the risk of such great loss?
And that too, at the hands of a lump of blood that had not even formed a bone, and who had blocked Darkcheon’s steps more times than anyone else in the world.
and… … .
‘Kill me and become stronger?’
What does Dae Joint’s own death and this one-sided execution ceremony have to do with Jin Tae-kyung becoming stronger?
As a blood sword demon, he couldn’t possibly guess the meaning of the great wizard’s last words, and that was natural.
Because there was a limit to the range of imagination he could come up with.
But at least someone else present here knew the truth that the Blood Sword Demon Army could not know.
“… … you.”
Lips turned white and facial muscles stiffened.
The young man, who had forgotten even to breathe and was staring at the woman in front of him with mesmerized eyes, barely managed to squeeze out a voice.
“What the hell… … “What are you talking about?”
This is not a question. It is denial.
Because we do not want to believe in a reality that cannot be realized, we try to deny it.
And the great wizard’s eyes as he looked at that young man, Jin Tae-gyeong, were curved like a half moon.
“You already know, you too.”
“… … !”
“Do I need to tell you right here? “That’s what I’m trying to say.”
The moment the one word that turned an ominous guess into certainty reached his ears, Jin Tae-kyung felt his mind turning completely white.
Along with the only three letters that remain in my empty mind.
‘Level up.’
* * *
What would it feel like if the blood in your entire body turned cold?
For that moment, it seemed as if the whole world stopped.
No, maybe I really was mistaken.
Unlike his frozen body, if it weren’t for his head that got hot as if someone was using an iron.
‘This… … Nonsense.’
I was struggling in extreme confusion.
Numerous question marks appeared and disappeared repeatedly, and reason and emotion lost direction and collided with each other.
The same or even greater shock shook my mind when I realized that this unfamiliar world called martial arts was not a game but another reality.
But this is a stark reality.
I tried with all my might to suppress my unabated astonishment and squeezed out my voice.
“How on earth?”
An unfamiliar, hoarse, cracked voice flows from between my lips.
And unlike me, the voice of the woman who returned soon afterwards was calm and calm.
“well. I, a humble person, cannot know everything. however… … .”
A great sorcerer, or a great mage.
She, who has gained powers that are not of this world, looks straight at me. Her eyes and voice, filled with a firm belief that can only be called fanaticism, disturb the eyes and ears.
“The Lord of Heaven is great. “I am just a servant conveying His will and words.”
“Heavenly Lord, Heavenly Lord… … .”
I mumbled those damn two words like I was possessed by something.
From the moment I took my first steps in the martial arts world until now, I have never been able to face the true reality even though I have heard about it countless times through the mouths of many people.
The leader of the dark heavens, no, their king and god, the absolute one who wishes for a reverse heaven.
It was him.
It was only him.
One of my most intimate secrets, he knew it right through the palm of my hand.
But that couldn’t be the answer to the question I asked earlier.
Because the person I am now, Jin Tae-kyung of Taewon Jinga, was changed overnight.
“Were you spying on me? “From the beginning?”
“watch? you?”
Underneath the white cotton thread, red lips drew a soft line.
“Honestly, doesn’t everyone know that just a few years ago you were someone we didn’t even need to worry about?”

“That means… … .”
“It’s a simple story. We were looking down on the world, and you yourself shined in it. So much so that you can clearly see it from afar.”
“… … !”
“It was interesting. The process of how a shaman from a border samurai family who was slowly falling into ruin becomes a Jamryong (潛龍), and becomes a Divine Dragon (神龍) after obtaining the female ruler known as the Hwawang. And the unprecedented growth rate.”
Imugi, who has been practicing for hundreds of years, can become a dragon if he can obtain the Yeouiju, but Jin Tae-gyeong of Taewonjinga was at best an earth dragon in muddy water, that is, an earthworm.
However, the system gave me endless opportunities for growth, and people in the world constantly made up reasons without me having to make any excuses.
A warrior gifted from heaven.
The body of heavenly martial arts, an extremely perfect body.
It is said that with the addition of the teachings of a great warrior named Jeokcheongang, the Fire King, he was able to become the martial artist he is today.
So no one had any doubts.
No, there was no doubt about it.
Even in this world where primitive barbarism remains, the good of common sense existed.
However, at this moment, the great mage was saying that for anyone other than them, Heavenly Lord was an exception.
Another unexpected fact.
“We followed his orders and continued to watch, and we finally found out. “Who is the chosen one?”
At that moment, the corners of my eyes began to flutter without me knowing.
“now… … what?”
“Why don’t you like this expression? Personally, I thought it was a pretty good name.”
I did not answer the grand mage’s question.
I just kept my mouth shut and repeated in my mind what I had just heard.
‘The chosen one, you say?’
There was only one reason why I had asked before without realizing it.
This wasn’t the first time someone called me this name.
The one who called me the first chosen one was aiming his bowstring tight at this very moment from afar.
‘Gungseong (弓星).’
A hero of the Great Demon War who protected the world from hundreds of thousands of demonic cultists.
A great martial artist who always shined dazzlingly wherever he went and was therefore called a member of the Three Stars.
And the reason why such a castle wandered around the world with its identity hidden for dozens of years was because of a letter left by one person.
‘… … ‘Musin(武神).’
Ten kings. Three stars.
The sky, the universe, or the world itself that overlooks everything above.
The greatest hero and warrior of all time that has never existed in the past and will never exist again.
It was said that he, Musin, left a letter to the royal palace.
Find that one person you never know when or where to appear.
The chosen one, that is.
me.
That’s why I couldn’t understand it even more.
Even if it goes as far as the fact that the god of war predicted the appearance of a being called me and left a letter to the palace.
Why, why.
“Why do you, the universe, keep me alive?”
More than anyone else, I have blocked Dark Heaven’s steps more than once.
He was directly involved in the deaths of the four demons and demons who were his closest associates and limbs, and caused countless other damages.
In fact, from the perspective of the universe, it would not be pleasant even if killed a hundred times.
However, the great mage spoke clearly earlier.
Her owner doesn’t want me to die here.
I hope to survive by becoming stronger than I am now.
I am… … I definitely had to hear the answer to this question.
If the universe wants my survival, it would surely mean that my very existence will one day return as a threat to everyone.
“Answer me, hurry.”
Before I knew it, the surprise and trembling had long since disappeared.
All that remains now is the reality in front of us and the coolness to face it.
I stared at the Grand Mage with cold eyes.
Those eyes that shine through the tightly woven white cotton yarn and sparkle with loyalty to their owner.
And finally, her tightly closed red lips softened.
“No one in the world can dare to guess his deep meaning. But one thing is certain.”
Breathing out slowly.
What is contained in the slightly raised corner of the mouth is a clear sneer.
“Even if you hear the whole truth, would you be able to resist?”
“… … !”
“Let’s be honest. we.”
The great mage, who put down his manners as if throwing off cumbersome clothes, smiled and continued speaking.
“Do you think it rains because people hold prayers for rain? no. Dark clouds are gathering, and they fall when the sky wants them to. “That is the way of this world, it is providence.”
Coo.
At that moment, when the brilliant eyes flashed beyond the cotton thread, a thick stalk creeping up my body strangled my neck.
slowly. Strong at the same time.
“If you want to die, I can kill you. But you must survive His will. You will want to live first, right now. is not it?”
I was out of breath.
In a situation where my whole body was already restrained, I squeezed out my voice as I felt the stems of vegetation slowly strangling my breathing.
“then… … “Kill me.”
“what?”
“Kill me, watch.”
“… … !”
At that moment, the gaze of the great mage who was looking at me slightly wavered.
It was because he could read the sincerity in my breathy voice and in my deeply sunken eyes.
“you… … .”
Pressure loosening with fading ponytails. I chuckled looking at her like that.
“Why can’t you do it? “You crazy bitch.”
Kuduk!
The stem tightens again as if it had never happened before.
Nevertheless, even though I was out of breath, I laughed out loud.
Yes, I am clearly the underdog right now.
However, I will be the one who wins this tense tug of war with my life on the line.
If the Grand Mage was a crazy person, then I was a different kind of crazy person.
‘This has happened, there’s nothing I can’t do.’
I smiled brightly at the grand mage, whose eyes were wide.
And with all his might, he cut off the heart veins of his entire body.
With that subtle power of recovery that she bestowed upon me.
Wow!
