The Warrior’s Former Companion (2)
Chelain jumped back with a stiff expression. She slowly walked from side to side, gazing at Harang’s figure.
‘What’s that kid… … Could it be that he started to figure out my attacks while sparring? The difference in skill would be overwhelming for that to happen?’
Inspectors with a rating of around 10 stars cannot actually be grouped into the case of ‘inspectors’.
A being that has achieved complete nothingness.
A being like an immortal who can easily cut through things like steel without using auras or ki, fly by stepping on reeds, or cross a lake by stepping on a single leaf.
For them, the operation of ‘gi’ has become virtually meaningless.
They are so powerful even without ki, and even possess overwhelming ki, so they are called the strongest beings in humanity.
That’s exactly what happened to Chelain.
A strange body.
A body that cannot control energy at all.
Nevertheless, Chelain was strong, for she had seen the end of swordsmanship.
The ultimate goal of swordsmanship that a human can achieve. Therefore, it transcends humans and can easily cut down swordsmen below 9 stars, no matter how much they fly and crawl while emitting aura.
Such a… … wondrous realm.
That is why an 8-star swordsman who cannot even break through the 9-star wall cannot understand or accept Chelain’s swordsmanship.
In the world viewed by the 8-star inspector, Chelain’s swordsmanship is…
It was just close to art.
A painting, a poem, a musical performance, a sculpture, a dance, a… … Yes, it is just a work of art. Can an ordinary person imitate or analyze a work of art when he sees it?
It’s impossible.
It wasn’t a concept of ‘he’s better in this field.’ It was just that the fields were different and the level was different. Just because they held the sword in the same way, it didn’t mean they were the same prosecutor.
Harang was a ‘swordsman’ who could only fight with a sword, but Chelain was something else that had escaped the shackles of the sword and gained freedom in and of itself.
Something that cannot be expressed in words, something that is not even allowed to be imagined by common sense… … .
‘But why are you getting stronger?’
Chae-Ang!!
Celaine, who had clashed swords with Harang, felt slightly pushed back by the strength. Up until now, she had been able to overcome Harang’s superhuman strength with any technique that was not based on physical strength, but now it was not working so well.
It’s not that Chelain is weak.
Harang gradually began to learn, master, and master the sword of Chelain, applying it to himself!
‘That’s ridiculous. Even Kaladan couldn’t do that!’
This is Chelain, who was called a genius like no other in the world. Chelain was always watching the warrior Kaladan from a step behind, so he was able to gauge his talent.
I know. I know. Talent can’t be measured in numbers.
nevertheless.
‘That kid… … is more than just Kaladan.’
I couldn’t help but know that since we crossed swords. It’s impossible for a young man in his early to mid twenties to show such a level of skill. Even if he didn’t train in swordsmanship for the next ten years, he would live forever being called a genius, and here, his growth was accelerating even more!
Wow-!!
Chelain, who had swung her sword at Harang, spun it around like a snake and tried to cut off his wrist. However, Harang twisted his wrist in the same way and wrapped his sword around like a snake!
‘this!’
Even though he used the same technique, Chelain’s swordsmanship was much more skillful, but since he wasn’t wearing any sword energy, he hurriedly pulled out his sword, thinking that his wrist might go off if he was not careful.
However, Harang did not miss the opportunity and rushed in, striking Chelain’s magic sword with all his might.
Clang! A sound like a glass window bursting echoed through the air, and Celine took a huge step back. Her wrists were freezing. Even though she used a unique snap that sprayed shock in all directions, she still took damage!
“… … You, what on earth are you?”
Celine’s breathing became slightly ragged. Her former relaxed appearance had long since disappeared. Since she could no longer fight him with swordsmanship and technique alone, she had to lose stamina as well.
Chelain’s body, or Taniya’s, was much better than that of an average woman, and it was not even close to that of a first-star warrior.
The training so far has been nothing short of miraculous, and has allowed me to gauge just how great Chelain is.
“There’s something strange about you. No matter how talented you are, you are… … out of the norm. A talent that shouldn’t exist. Yes, you are definitely amazing. Nana and Kaladon, who were sad when you tried to make them go away with swordsmanship, may be even more so.”
Celine swallowed dryly. She didn’t start talking to regain her strength.
In her opinion, there was something really strange about Harang.
“But even so, there are limits to being human. You’re getting stronger strangely quickly. It’s as if… …your accumulated experience is exploding, as if you’ve lived your life one more time.”
“… … !”
So far, Harang has never been caught for being reincarnated. Not even Duke Kal-El Pol Caladan noticed.
However, Chelain vaguely guessed Harang’s secret.
“What the hell are you? What’s your relationship with Kaladan? Kaladan, did he do something to you?”
“… … .”
Harang didn’t answer Chelain’s question. Instead, he just raised his sword and charged.
“Ha, that’s right! I don’t like mixing in words, you know! That’s completely different from Kaladan!”
Thinking back to the talkative and humorous Kaladan, Chelain blocked Harang’s sword.
However, the more he fought with him, the more it was Chelain who was pushed back. It wasn’t that Harang’s swordsmanship had become sharper than before. His aura had inherently possessed immense power from the beginning.
but.
‘The technique… is developing little by little!’
If before it was simply ‘excellent and unique swordsmanship skills’, now the subtle snap has changed.
Like Chelain, you can cleverly twist your sword to receive the shock with your entire body and then send it flowing to the ground.
Rather than simply exploding the aura to raise the speed, you can use unique steps to momentarily leave an afterimage and dazzle the opponent’s eyes.
‘It’s visible.’
Harang’s silver eyes shone brightly. It wasn’t like he was seeing the trajectory of the sword that Chelain was swinging.
‘I can see… stairs.’
Up until now, he had been blocked by a wall. After reaching the 8th star, he had no idea how to proceed to the 9th star.
It was always easy to move up. There was always a staircase in his sight, and he just had to climb it and keep moving forward.
Now that the stairs were gone, Harang was at a loss as to how he could become stronger.
however.

It’s just one step.
Harang realized with certainty that she had stepped forward.
That was a huge difference from not taking a single step.
When he couldn’t take a step, he was in a situation where he was floating in a vast ocean, not knowing how or how far he should go, but the moment he took even one step, he was able to keep going up without stopping.
Even if it is hundreds of thousands or millions of steps… … .
If the goal and path to reach are clearly defined, Harang will not stop.
‘I can go higher from here!’
Kaang-!!
Whirl, bang!
As Harang struck the sword with all his might, the sorcery sword flew out of Celain’s hand and fell to the floor.
“Ugh.”
She stepped back and grabbed his cold wrist.
‘This can’t be happening… … .’
The ignorant swordsmanship of the 8-star inspector could have been completely dispelled by her flexible and skilled techniques, but she failed to do so.
I couldn’t take the shock any longer.
Yes. This is not Harang beating a 10-star inspector. The opponent is unfamiliar physically and has no aura.
Still.
He was overcome with excitement at the fact that he had even stepped into the ‘shadow of a 10-star inspector’.
Chuck! As he aimed his sword at her neck, tree trunks rose from the ground and bound Celine’s limbs.
“You have been defeated, Celine.”
“Ha… … I guess so. Yeah. That’s right. It’s embarrassing, but I lost.”
Harang said, carefully binding his thighs and arms to prevent him from talking nonsense.
“Now come out of that woman’s body, former Saint Celaine.”
“… … Well. I lost, but that won’t work, right?”
She said with a single smile.
“I’m not leaving here. What do you want me to do? Kill me.”
“… … .”
If you cut off Celine’s neck now, she will turn into a spirit and run away, and only Taniya will die. Knowing this, Celine is relaxed.
‘It’s difficult… … .’
Harang doesn’t know how to get the spirit out.
“Haa, haa… … .”
If there was a chance, it would be now that Celine was exhausted. It would have taken a tremendous amount of mental strength to display the skills of a 10-star swordsmanship with a body without an aura, so she would definitely not be in normal condition.
In that case, it would be better to make a deal… … .
“I have a way!”
“?”
Harang frowned. Chelain’s tone of voice changed.
“Tani?”
Chelain, who had been leisurely and sexy, was holding back tears with a completely different expression than before.
“Yes, yes! It’s me! I was able to come out for a moment because her mental power was weakened, but this is the limit! Can you do as I say? Please! If I can draw a soul chain and enter it, I can take control of the body!”
“Speak quickly.”
What a great woman. The body of a former comrade of the warrior who was known as a saint and a 10-star swordsman in the world has taken over, and yet she can still speak, even for a moment.
‘No matter how much the soul of the former Saint Celaine has weakened over the hundreds of years, the level of the soul is different.’
Is that possible?
It doesn’t matter. I’ll do whatever it takes to tie up Chelain.
“I’m going to draw the ‘Magiras’ Great Law Circle’ with nine candles and amulets from the backpack I brought. Oh, and what that is… … .”
“I know. Tell me next time.”
“Oh, really? Then I’ll draw seven triangles with my blood drops, and then it’ll take the form of a contradictory inverted triangle. What does this look like? … .”
“I understand. Next.”
Taniya felt strange. The sorcery she used was different from simple magic, so even Harang, who was known as a genius, would not have been able to understand it easily.
But how can you understand immediately after you start talking?
I had my doubts, but for now I had no choice but to believe him.
“Finally, based on the ascetic’s waveform paradox, the six desires… … ugh!”
Taniya frowned and lowered her head. Then, when she raised her head a moment later, her expression was completely different.
“You damn little bitch… … You seem to be more adept at controlling spirits than I thought. How dare you try to take control of my body from me. But, there will be no second chance.”
It seems that Taniya’s temporary seizure of control over the body was a method that could only be used once.
“Haha, that kid explained it to you? But what should I do? I can feel the magical energy coming from your body, but this is sorcery. I don’t think you understand sorcery.”
“… … .”
Harang put down his sword. Then he put both hands together and took a praying posture.
“What is the difference between sorcery and Taoism?”
“Well… not much, right?”
“No, there isn’t.”
He took Taniya’s backpack and began to draw something on the floor, one by one. He lit candles, spread out chains to attach talismans, and carved peculiar patterns on the floor in blood.
Chelain’s face turned pale as she watched the unique ‘law formation’ being completed one by one.
“What, what. How do you know that… … .”
“I’m sorry.”
Finally, Harang, who had perfectly completed the Dharma that Taniya had wanted, smiled refreshingly and said.
“I’ve been spending time with the world’s greatest immortals, so I’m somewhat proficient in Taoism.”
“what……!!”
Those words were enough to send Celine’s spirits into the abyss.
