< Episode 98 Sword and Sword (3) >
An old man with a gray beard and tanned face looked at something with vain eyes.
The old man’s name is Koo Gu-hyeok.
He was renowned as a sword craftsman.
‘How is this happening?’
Daejeon, which was supposed to be noisy and splendid due to the coronation ceremony, was completely covered in blood, and mutilated bodies were piled up everywhere.
There were almost hundreds of people.
How on earth did this happen?
‘What happened? Liu Sozer.’
Gu Mun-hyeok’s eyes widened as he looked around Daejeon, mesmerized by such a huge disaster.
Gu Mun-hyeok hurriedly ran towards somewhere.
In the center of the place was a beautiful woman wearing a red and colorful outfit with her eyes closed with a pale face.
She is none other than
[Ryu Sojeo!]
The female swordsman he was looking for,
It was Ryu So-wol of Wolmaek who will be holding the Hoeju coronation ceremony today.
Gu Mun-hyeok bent down and hurriedly felt the pulse of the woman who was lying down.
Koo Moon-hyeok’s face, who had been checking his pulse, soon hardened.
‘This… this can’t be happening.’
Her pulse was not racing and her body temperature had already cooled down.
Rigor mortis was in progress, as the body was stiff.
Koo Moon-hyeok’s gaze, which was looking at the devastated Ryu So-wol who had passed away, soon turned towards her chest.
‘Heart?’
I didn’t realize it because she was soaked in blood, but when I slightly lifted her clothes, I saw that the middle of her chest was empty.
It looked like his heart had been ripped out.
-closely!
Goo Gu-hyeok’s hands gained strength.
How can this happen?
Aside from being a woman, Ryu So-wol was a swordsman with one of the greatest skills among the many martial artists he knew.
Didn’t he even get over the wall?
How could she lose her life so vainly?
‘Ryu Sojeo…’
-Wooow!
The wooden box I was carrying along with my luggage on my back was trembling.
Koo Gu-hyeok muttered at this.
[······Did you notice this too?]
-thud!
Koo Mun-hyeok placed the wooden box on the floor.
When I opened the lid of the wooden box, a pure white sword that had just been born and was overflowing with life was revealed.
This was her sword, Sunyeon.
Ryu So-wol personally named it and asked that it be brought to the throne in time for the coronation ceremony when it was completed.
‘I have completed the best sword.’
It was a masterpiece, one of the many swords he created.
Koo Gu-hyeok, who had come expecting to see her happy face after completing the sword, felt completely disappointed and bitter.
In fact, the owner passed away without even touching the sword.
-Wooow!
The name of the sword was faintly heard, as if it knew it.
Gu Mun-hyeok bit his lower lip with trembling eyes.
Because it was a martial arts world where tens or hundreds of people died every day, no one could guarantee the day to day, but this was completely incomprehensible.
‘Who is it?’
Who on earth did this?
Liu Shaoyue was one of the greatest leaders of his time, and considering the scale of the Heaven and Earth Moon Council, it was only possible to commit such a tragedy if he had a force of a corresponding scale.
Gu Mun-hyeok got up from his seat and looked at the bodies in Daejeon.
His clan had been demanding the master’s swordsmanship in making swords for generations, so he was confident that he was unrivaled in this regard.
‘Most of the bodies have wounds caused by swords, so if you look closely, there will be clues.’
There was a high probability that it was an organization that could be in conflict with the Cheonjiwolhoe.
It is one of the nine-file rooms with the highest probability…
‘!?’
At that time, Koo Moon-hyuk frowned.
As expected, when examining the sword marks left on the bodies, many of them did not contain any special marks.
‘······Nonsense.’
Gu Mun-hyeok, who was examining the corpses with no hope, could not help but be astonished.
Naturally, it was assumed to be a fight between groups, but most of the bodies appeared to be the work of a single person.
What’s even more surprising is that no special sword techniques were used.
He simply swung his sword and cut.
‘overwhelming power. Overwhelming sharpness…’
If you look at this sword mark, it was like that.
I just swung my sword, but nothing could stop it.

If the sword was blocked, the block was cut off like a weapon.
With just one swing, most of the sword marks were enough to split the body in two along with the weapons.
‘······It’s a monster.’
The term ‘break through’ seemed to fit here.
If it was a monster like this, no matter how skilled the swordsman Liu Soyue was, it would not have been able to defeat it.
He too was so strong that I didn’t want to meet him.
however,
‘hmm?’
His eyes narrowed as he examined the traces.
Some bodies…
-thud! Grrrrrr!
At that time, Koo Mun-hyeok turned his gaze to the sound of a loud roar.
The Daejeon was shaking as if there had been an earthquake, and sounds were echoing from outside.
Could it be that the person who committed this tragedy is still here?
Goo Mun-hyeok, who hesitated for a moment, soon perked up with Yongcheonhyeol.
-Pot!
His new model hit the floor and bounced.
For a moment, he felt a glimmer of fear toward the person who created these sword marks, but he soon calmed his mind.
Even if he couldn’t deal with this monster, he felt that he needed to at least confirm who the culprit was for the sake of his relationship with Liu Soje.
Gu Mun-hyeok’s complexion darkened for an instant as he came out of Daejeon.
– Creepy!
‘······What the hell is this?’
His reaction was due to a horrifying energy that went beyond stimulating and overwhelmed him.
The better a martial artist is, the more open his or her energy is, the easier it is to feel it.
However, it was not just one space, but this ferocious and evil energy was shaking all around, and it was difficult to guess its scale.
It seemed like it filled dozens or hundreds of pages.
How can humans have such incredible energy?
I was so overwhelmed that my whole body was shaking.
[haha······.]
Koo Gu-hyuk’s breathing became rough.
No matter how hard I tried to calm down, it was difficult to come to my senses with this violent energy filling the room.
I knew where this energy was coming from, but my steps did not stop.
The moment I got into the eyes of this monster, I thought I might die before I knew it.
But soon, something special caught Gu Mun-hyeok’s eyes.
‘ah?’
As expected, the ferocious energy that was threatening all around suddenly subsided.
What the hell is going on?
He wiped his sweat-soaked forehead with his sleeve and fired the new weapon towards the epicenter where he felt the energy.
It wasn’t far from here.
It was about 2 ri northwest of the headquarters of Cheonjiwolhoe.
‘!!!!!’
Gu Mun-hyeok’s eyes widened when he arrived here.
As expected, the sky was covered with dark clouds and there was a large hole in it, and scarlet light flowed out and illuminated the ground, reminiscent of the setting sun.
What was even more strange was that huge broken rocks, including several cut off mountain peaks, were floating in the sky here and there, making the entire area feel like it was out of the world.
What on earth happened here?
Koo Moon-hyeok, who was staring at the incredible sight, soon discovered something.
‘ah?’
It was someone standing on top of one of the giant rocks floating in the air.
It was a man with long hair flowing in a fluttering black coat, and he had a sword in his hand.
It was an ink-colored sword, but the moment he saw it, Koo Gu-hyeok’s mouth opened.
As he was a craftsman, when he unintentionally saw a great weapon, his eyes were taken away without him even realizing it.
‘······It is perfect.’
The moment he saw the ink-colored sword, Gu Mun-hyeok was instantly captivated by its shape.
The shape of the sword was so ideal that it was difficult to compare it to any sword he had ever thought of as a craftsman.
Who on earth made that sword?
Gu Mun-hyeok, who was imagining all sorts of things while looking at the sword, soon slapped himself.
-match!
What are you doing now?
This was not the time to be distracted by the sword.
If you look closely at the author’s face, you will see whether he will take revenge for Ryu So-wol So-jeo, who was wrongfully killed.
But then,
-Chrrrrrr!
I saw an amazing sight.
The sword the man was holding disintegrated, changing into a ring shape and settling on his arm.
Koo Gu-hyuk looked shocked.
What’s going on?
How did the normal sword disintegrate and take the form of a ring?
How can something like that be possible?
Even though my family had been a craftsman for generations, it was a skill that I could not understand no matter how much I thought about it.
I was just wondering about this.
-Sigh!
-Startle!
Gu Mun-hyeok was so embarrassed that he took a step back without realizing it.
That was because the man turned his head and looked directly at him.
I was hiding as much as I could, but I was extremely embarrassed.
Am I going to end up dying by the author’s hands like this?
It was a moment of hesitation as to what to do about this.
It was right then.
-bang!
At that time, an unbelievable sight occurred before my eyes.
Isn’t a dazzling beam of light flowing out from a hole in the dark clouds and hitting the ground?
The light was so bright that I had to close my eyes for a moment.
-Quaaaaaaa!
A tremendous roar erupted, and his new brother, whose eyes were closed, was immediately thrown backwards.
Gu Moon-hyeok, who felt the need to protect his body and was in a state of self-defense, frantically crashed into various places.
-thud! thud! thud!
[Ugh!]
It took me hitting it a few times before I was able to stop the aftereffects.
Gu Mun-hyeok opened his eyes and had a dazed expression.
It seemed like dozens of shots were thrown away, but when I looked at the place where the beam of light hit in the distance, I saw
* * *
“They say there was nothing there.”
“There was nothing?”
“Yes, my great-grandfather went there in a hurry, and he said that the rocks and the cut off mountainsides that were floating on the mountainside were gone and the surrounding area was like a plain. “It was truly bizarre.”
It was like a ghost crying.
Gu Cheon-mu’s great-grandfather, Gu Cheon-hyeok, said that he felt like he was dreaming when he saw this.
Neither the scarlet hole in the dark clouds nor anything floating around was visible.
Mok Gyeong-un asked this.
“What about him?”
The person Mok Gyeong-un asked about was a man with long hair who was said to be holding the ink-colored sword.
According to the records left by Gu Cheonmu’s great-grandfather, there was a high probability that he was the culprit who pulled out Cheongnyeong’s heart and caused the disaster.
“It’s gone.”
“Disappeared?”
“Yes, my great-grandfather mobilized the surviving members of the Cheonjiwolhoe and searched the surrounding area for three days and nights to find traces of him, but they said they could not find anything.”
“······Did you just end it with the surrounding area?”
“no. My great-grandfather drew a picture of the person he remembered and handed it over, and for a while, the Cheonjiwolhoe also tried to find the unknown person who was presumed to be the real culprit…”
-no!
-Cha-cha-cha-cha-chang!
That was before the words were even finished.
With a sharp shout that pierced the eardrums, numerous objects in the workshop were shattered as if exploded.
Seeing this scene, Mo Gyeong-un turned his head and looked at Cheong-ryeong.
Mo Gyeong-un’s brows furrowed as he looked at her.
As expected, the area around the area where Cheongnyeong was was stained with blood, and her spiritual power was rising horribly.
“What is this?”
Jiang Zhou Gu Tianmu looked at where she was with puzzled eyes.
Gu Cheon-mu, who did not have eyes capable of seeing souls, but noticed something swaying, perhaps because of his rapidly rising spiritual power, and before he knew it, he drew his sword.
-Sreung!
Mokgyeongun held out his palm as if telling him to stop and spoke to Cheongnyeong.
-Cheongnyeong. Please calm down first.
-Without knowing anything… Who… who is the real culprit?
-Quad! Quack!
The wooden boards on the floor were torn apart and lifted up like thorns.
It was as if he was responding to her vengeful spiritual power.
A strange look appeared in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
That was because Mok Kyung-un, who opened his ears to her, could see her soaring spiritual power gradually turning purple.
