< Episode 99: That Day (2) >
[I am the one who will be your master.]
Ryu So-wol was dumbfounded by the arrogant words the man spoke so casually.
[You are truly crazy.]
The words were almost over.
-Gooooo!
She couldn’t help but be taken aback by the extremely vicious energy she felt right behind her.
Even her father and the head of the Moon Mac family, Liu Kang, who was one of the best masters she knew, had never given her this much intimidation when he revealed his power.
However, this energy I felt behind me made me feel like I was facing a ferocious beast.
‘What energy?’
[The cheeky female was anxious not to die…]
-Sigh!
At that time, a man in all black held out his hand and pretended not to come forward.
With just a gesture from the man, the tremendous energy disappeared in an instant.
At this, Ryu So-wol could not help but be inwardly surprised.
What exactly is the true identity of this person, who commands such a monster that one cannot even fathom his level?
It was a moment of puzzlement.
-Chaenggang!
Her sword, which was held between the man’s two fingers, was broken in two.
[oh?]
It wasn’t that there was anything outlandish about it.
Simply holding the blade with the strength of one’s hand wasn’t enough, he broke it.
I’m surprised,
-Park!
Before she knew it, the man came forward and grabbed the hem of her chest.
Then,
-Wow!
He ripped off her clothes.
In an instant, her top was torn off, exposing her plump breasts.
Embarrassed, Ryu So-yol instinctively covered his chest with both arms.
Seeing her like that, the man chuckled and said.
[It’s no different from any other female.]
[you!]
[Are you ashamed of exposing your breasts even though your life is at risk?]
Ryu So-yol’s expression, which had been consumed by shame at the man’s words, hardened for an instant.
I wondered if he was trying to humiliate me, but there was no change in the man’s expression.
Rather, it seemed as if he was laughing at his own reaction.
‘······.’
Ordinary women, no matter how much of a martial arts person they are, would be helpless with shame and embarrassment if faced with a situation like this.
But she has grown like a man since her brother died.
That’s why she was different from other women.
Ryu So-wol felt embarrassed, but he hid it and instead covered his chest even more and appeared to shrink.
[No, don’t come closer.]
Seeing her like that, the man shook his head, and then tried to let go of the hem of his torn clothes, as if he had lost interest in her.
-Pot!
At that moment, Ryu So-wol unexpectedly thrust the broken blade into the center of the man’s neck.
however,
‘shit.’
Her blade could not reach the center of the man’s neck.
This was because her entire body was possessed by an eerie yet vast energy.
It was similar to dealing with real energy, but completely different.
Because the energy was so evil.
-Finch! flinch!
She was so frightened that goosebumps appeared all over her body and she trembled.
This was the first time in my life that I faced an opponent that was scary and scary with just energy.
The man came up to her and gently lifted her chin and said.
[I thought you were embarrassed, but maybe you were looking for an opportunity? That’s fun. Isn’t it? ]
[It’s just a bug.]
[Isn’t it more fun than the obedient girls of the clan?]
[That’s wow…]
[done.]
[······.]
The man who cut off the person behind him smiled and said to Ryu Soyue.
[Why are you afraid again?]
[Are you going to kill me?]
[You recklessly took the life of the person who would become your master, so you will have to pay the appropriate price.]
[······.]
[If you realize your duty and beg to be spared, I will consider it.]

[what?]
[I am a person without mercy…]
[Kill.]
For a moment, a strange look appeared in the man’s eyes at her words.
[Kill me?]
[Since I was born as a warrior, I am prepared to die at any time. No matter how scared you are, you don’t beg someone for your life. Kill him.]
[Hoo.]
One of the man’s eyebrows rose.
I was just enjoying a little entertainment with my insignificant existence.
But this female, no, this woman. Was it a being with its own honor and nobility?
The man who showed interest soon opened his mouth.
[That’s fun. A mere girl has the honor of a fighter.]
[projection?]
[okay. Fighter. I don’t hate people like that. And we also respect the fighter’s honor.]
[······.]
[good. If you are a fighter, I apologize for insulting you. In that sense, I will kill you cleanly. If you have any last words, please say them.]
The man said, taking his hand off Liu Soyue’s chin.
She, who had already given up her attachment to life, answered in a weak voice.
[doesn’t exist. What do I have to say when I die? If you leave something like that behind, it just makes you want to live for no reason.]
The corner of the man’s mouth rose at her answer.
Usually, when asked if I have any last words, I leave something predictable.
Most of them were words of regret, greetings for those left behind, or requests for treatment.
But you cut out the regrets in your life yourself.
‘He is truly a noble man.’
It was just entertainment and just a moment ago it was respect, but now I was definitely interested.
Among the women who were considered noble in the clan, there was no one who showed such true nobility in front of her.
The man asked this.
[Not bad.]
[what?]
[Don’t change the question. Say what you want, not what you want to say.]
[What difference does that make?]
[Lastly, I will grant your wishes.]
The man’s intention was clear in these words.
He liked Ryu So-wol and changed the question to save her life.
There was a difference between what I wanted to say and what I wanted.
If you say you want to save your life, we will let you live.
No, of course you should say that, right?
But the answer came out completely different from what he expected.
[I want to become stronger.]
[······You want to become stronger?]
For a moment, Ryu So-wol felt embarrassed even after saying this.
I don’t know what the other person’s whim was, but it felt like the atmosphere had changed somehow.
But at the moment when he was wondering what he really wanted, he unconsciously said those words.
It was already too late to overturn this.
[Hahahahahahaha!]
The man suddenly laughed out loud, wondering why he was so happy.
At that sight, her face became incomprehensible.
* * *
Late at night.
Liu Kang, the head of the Wolmaek clan, was speechless when he saw the appearance of Suzhou Liu Shaoyue.
As expected, her face was full of bruises and scars, and she looked like she was seriously injured as she was limping.
He was sorry for his words and actions during the day, but he did not change his belief that he should grow up to be strong as Soju, so he tried to press her.
But after seeing this, I couldn’t possibly be angry about it.
Rather,
[What on earth happened? Why did it become like that?]
No matter how strong he was raised, what kind of father would just ignore something so miserable?
Ryu So-wol could not bear to answer his question.
-Strength is not something you can just acquire. A fighter becomes stronger by fighting.
That’s what the man said.
From then on, he fought like crazy with the man’s subordinate.
Almost without stopping for several hours.
It was my first time.
It was so painful that I even thought about dying.
[Can’t you hear what the head of the family said?]
[······.]
She could not bear to open her mouth due to the pressure of the head of the family, Liu Kang.
Actually, I wanted to tell you everything I had experienced.
However, there was a promise made to him.
-Just tell me two things. Do not reveal to anyone that you met me. And if you come here at a similar time every year, you will be able to obtain the strength you desire.
She had her own stubbornness.
Once a promise was made, he was stubborn to keep it unconditionally.
That’s why, despite his father’s constant urging, he eventually kept his mouth shut.
In the end, it was the head of the family, Liu Kang, who gave up.
[Pure thing.]
The head of the family, Liu Kang, stuck his tongue at her stubbornness and spoke to her as if to inform her.
[The heavenly vein requested marriage.]
[yes?]
What does this mean, marriage?
To her perplexity, the head of the family, Liu Kang, sighed deeply and said,
[It looks like Soju of Cheonmaek wants you.]
[Not me!]
Ryu So-wol got angry and raised his voice.
Then the head of the family, Liu Kang, snorted.
[joy. You didn’t even answer questions about my child’s well-being, and now you’re talking about marriage, are you finally opening your mouth?]
[Well, that is…]
[At first I refused.]
[Ahhh.]
She breathed a sigh of relief at those words.
However, the words that followed were anything but reassuring.
[However, their offer was accepted.]
[yes? A proposal?]
[During the wedding ceremony, it was said that marriage would be permitted if Cheonmaek’s soju was used as hoju.]
[Matriarch, no, father!]
Ryu So-yol, who was kneeling, jumped up from his seat and shouted.
Then the head of the family, Liu Kang, also urged.
[Be quiet! It’s all for the family.]
[For the sake of the family? Are you saying that I am no longer a woman because I am Soju of Wolmaek? But why do I have to marry Soju of Heavenly Vessel?]
[Didn’t you tell me? It’s all for Wolmac.]
[That is not the answer…]
[If you marry the person who will become the head of the clan, the relationship between the Cheonmaek and the Wolmaek will become strong. And the Cheonmaek said that he would hand over the first son you would give birth to the Wolmaek.]
[······.]
Hearing the words of the head of the family, Liu Kang, Liu Shaoyue’s expression turned cold.
My father had already reached an agreement with the head of the Heavenly Mac family.
Through this agreement, she knew.
At the point when he accepted this offer, his father did not have high expectations for him as Soju.
-closely!
Ryu So-yol’s hand clenched into a fist and his strength went into it.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand my father.
The head of the family, Liu Kang, was unable to produce seeds due to a past injury.
That’s why he desperately wanted someone to succeed Wolmaek, and he couldn’t fit that requirement.
but,
-······You are now Soju.
When my brother died of illness, were the words he said while holding my hand tightly just empty words?
Was it nothing that I tried to fill his empty space?
It’s truly sad.
However, in addition to this sadness, there is also mischief.
-Wow!
Liu Shaoyue gritted his teeth.
okay. If you think about it the other way around, the answer is there.
The answer that can turn all of this around.
That’s right,
* * *
-Kwasik!
Looking at the broken wooden sword, the eyes of the Heavenly Vessel’s Soju Bi-heon shook like crazy.
Of course, he couldn’t help but be amazed by the skills of Ryu So-wol, the soju master of Wolmaek, which changes every year.
Until just four years ago, he still had to hide his skills.
But at some point, things changed.
Three years ago, her skills began to become significantly stronger, and two years ago she was unable to hide her strength.
And last year, it even caught up with the semi-herbivore car.
We were able to avoid a draw thanks to Tianmaek’s draw, but it got to the point where we couldn’t let our guard down any longer.
Accordingly, he tried to widen the gap again by continuously practicing martial arts for a year.
But something unbelievable happened.
‘Unbelievable.’
He broke his wooden sword in just 20 seconds.
He thought that because he had reached the ultimate peak, he had bridged the gap and widened the gap again.
But how can something like this happen?
-Wow!
Bi-heon gritted his teeth in exasperation.
There was only one reason to somehow maintain the gap and win.
-Don’t be soft and become a leader. Then she will take that child as your wife.
It was because of a pact with his father.
But beyond being caught up in 8 years, Liu Soyue’s inaction even surpassed his own.
It could be said that the gap was already clear when the wooden sword broke, but if it broke here, it seemed like he would lose her forever.
Therefore,
-Pot!
Bi-heon did not want to give up even if it meant dealing with his rivals.
however,
-Wooow!
‘!!!!!!’
The moment he saw the blue sword frosting on her bare hand, he lost all will to fight.
‘······Nonsense.’
To overcome a wall at the age of only twenty-eight.
That meant she had reached the realm of transformation.
-Roaring!
This amazing sight caused an uproar and uproar everywhere.
Even Liu Kang, the head of the Wolmaek family, was so shocked that he even forgot about his body and jumped up from his seat.
