Episode 14
Warrior
“My eyes were not wrong. If you have these skills, why have you been hiding them until now?”
Dang Gyu-jin smirked as he deflected all of my attacks without showing any sign of being pushed back.
“But there is a problem.”
“What is it?”
“I’m still inexperienced! So inexperienced!”
Tsupat!
In that moment, Dang Gyu-jin’s sword suddenly disappeared without a trace before bouncing off my hand.
A similar trick to what I saw. It was a shadow.
The only difference is that it is based on the Biryu-bo of the Cheongseongpa.
The combination of Cheongseongpa and Dangga Muhak. I wondered if this was possible, but Dang Gyu-jin made it possible.
That must be the true talent of the Blue Mask Muscle.
It certainly seemed like his depth in martial arts was much deeper than mine.
How can we bridge this gap?
As I said before, you can’t use sorcery. This is just a last resort for emergencies.
So what is there?
I have a unique talent that Dang Gyu-jin doesn’t have.
I wanted to follow Dang Gyu-jin’s movements while quickly thinking about what it was.
I didn’t follow the sword with my eyes.
I felt the wind.
.
.
Back!
Paaaaat-
As I turned my body to the side, drawing a semicircle with my right foot, the sword narrowly missed that spot.
I quickly curled my right fingers, which had been spread wide, like tiger claws and aimed for Dang Gyu-jin’s chest.
I narrow the radius of the sword by closing the gap even more than Dang Gyu-jin did, and instead make close combat my own!
The Twelve Nights of the Tiger
Tiger’s claws break
Wind and rain
Crazy and chaotic
At the very moment when the whirlwind was swirling and gathering at the center of the palm to increase its power, Dang Gyu-jin pulled back as far as possible, opened his empty left hand wide, and collided with my hand.
Choisimjang (heart palm). He clashed with the Cheongseongpa’s fierce method, which is as vicious as its name, which means tearing out the heart.
Paaaaang!
Kurur-
A rough impact and bounce. While I was being pushed back a few steps, Dang Gyu-jin’s sword swept over my lower body.
Wedge-
Instead of dodging, I responded with a roundhouse kick.
Didn’t I say I lack experience?
That was right.
It’s only been about two months since I officially started practicing martial arts.
Although he is good at theory, the actual situation is definitely very different from the theory.
Even though I tried to incorporate the teachings I had learned from Dang-gon, new parts that I had never seen before kept appearing, driving me into a corner.
But I believed in my abilities.
I may be a beginner in martial arts, but I have also reached a high level in sorcery.
His reputation, which rivaled that of the world’s top ten masters, wasn’t built up easily.
The other experiences, enlightenment, and insight I had accumulated over the years were my strengths that Dang Gyu-jin lacked.
Melting all of those things into a whirlwind.
That is the only homework I must accomplish here!
Wind and rain
Demon Wind Slash
The shin was pulled out as if a sword was being drawn, and when it struck the sword, sparks flew in all directions.
Tta-dang! Tta-dada-dang!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Offensive and offensive.
Shock and shock.
After many clashes of agreements that never gave an inch, a hot wind rose and tore at the ground.
In a strange new technique that mixed Biryu-bo and Amyeong-bo, Dang Gyu-jin was now showing off not only the Sajeonjeolgwanggeom, but also the occasional hand and palm techniques.
Choisimjang, Samyangji, Jeokryeonshinjang, Pungryejang, Saebicheonsujang, and even the Geumnasoo (擒拿手) like Surigungon.
When he displayed the martial arts of Sacheondangga, he was sinister and sharp, and when he displayed the sword skills of Cheongseongpa, he was bright and upright.
It was similar to the feeling I got when I first faced Dang Gyu-jin.
Both the angels and the devil were with her.
The martial arts with completely different characteristics kept crossing each other without any signs, so much so that it felt like I was dealing with two Tang Gyu-jins instead of one.
On the other hand, to counter this, I only use the whirlwind to strike back.
There was no rest at all.
Because if the flow is interrupted even a little, you never know when you might get hurt by Dang Gyu-jin’s sword.
If Dang Gyu-jin tried to break or intrude, I would somehow push him forward with overwhelming force and suppress him.

Kwakwakwakwa-
Then, the two sides exchanged blows with all their might.
Phew!
Ssuk-
Dang Gyu-jin and I stood apart from each other as if we had made a promise.
A sweet smell wafted from the corner of his mouth.
“Haa- haa-”
“Hoooo-”
and.
“Hehehehe! Heeheehee!”
Unlike me, whose eyes were calm and composed, Dang Gyu-jin now burst into laughter.
Every time that happened, the gong would ring loudly, creating a noise.
“The more I look at it, the more amazing it is! It’s so amazing! Who the hell are you, Unhwi? What has happened to you in the past five years?”
Kkaaa!
His eyes sparkled. Dang Gyu-jin was almost consumed by instinct.
“It’s clear that this is your first time doing something like this. There are so many awkward parts. But the tricks you sometimes use seem like those of a very experienced veteran.”
As expected, it’s pretty good.
Dang Gyu-jin saw through my condition precisely.
“It seems like you’re hiding something-”
Even a desperate measure.
“I know that you are keeping the situation in your hands. You haven’t even taken out the Cheongunjeokha Sword yet?”
The Cheongunjeokhageom was a long-sentence vision symbolizing the Cheongseongpa.
An absolute sword that covers both the heavens and the earth with only sword power.
I heard that the Cheongseongpa made an exception for her and bestowed upon her the Cheongunjeokha Sword, even though she was a lay disciple, because they felt sorry for her outstanding talent.
“It’s not perfect yet. There’s nothing more dangerous than swordsmanship that’s hard to control.”
“Is that so?”
『Hehehe! Our Unhwi, you seem to have a lot to hide? You even change the subject so cleverly.』
Hey, this isn’t working?
I thought I was half-dead by my instincts, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
Is the achievement of Cheonji Ilgimun that great?
Even though I was giving in to my instincts, my reason was making accurate judgments.
It was clear that he was definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.
So I just answered with a smile.
『Okay! My little sister keeps it a secret, but I can’t ask her because I’m her older sister! It’s not that hard!』
“I guess I should say thank you…?”
“Buy me a drink! That’s it!”
It seemed like I had a new drinking buddy after Danggon.
“Unhwi, do you know that?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You are laughing now.”
I?
I touched the corner of my mouth with my hand.
It was real.
The corners of my mouth went up without me even realizing it.
“Isn’t it fun?”
Thump thump thump thump!
I could still feel my heart beating fast.
How should I answer this?
“Yes, it’s fun.”
So I decided to be honest about my feelings.
In my previous life, my body was so weak that I rarely had to move in such extreme ways.
Even if there were, they would only move under the protection of the escorts.
But now it was different.
He was standing on the ground with only his two feet, and was directly striking the enemy with his two arms.
My heart was beating wildly like a broken organ, and my blood was circulating like a wild horse, making it hard to breathe.
My senses, which had become extremely sensitive, read all the information surrounding me.
Dang Gyu-jin’s breathing, footwork, movement of his fingertips, movement of his pupils, changes and consumption of my internal energy, etc. – everything was captured in ‘one glance’.
-I am alive.
This moment was so enjoyable that I didn’t want to miss it.
My blood boiled.
Victory filled my heart.
The excitement was so overwhelming that I was afraid I would drown.
“You’re a pervert. You like fighting like this.”
“… Then doesn’t that apply to you too, older sister?”
“Of course I am included! Do you think I’m the only one? Everyone here is like that!”
Dang Gyu-jin laughed and spread both his hands wide.
The entire audience came into view.
Dang Yoo-chang looking at me with a blank expression, the people of the Red War who were dumbfounded, the servants of the White War who were shocked, and even Dang-gon and his friends who were looking at me from afar and giving me a thumbs up.
“A servant, a servant, a military officer, a government official… If you have the last name Tang, you’re a pervert. Why? Because it’s impossible for ordinary people to enjoy such things!”
At that moment, I found myself feeling a little bit inexplicable.
Feeling hungry?
moved?
Joy?
I don’t know.
What should I do with this?
But one thing was certain.
Just as there is a thrill from fighting yourself, there is also an equally thrilling stimulation from having so many people looking at you with such passionate eyes.
Dang Gyu-jin was teaching me to enjoy all of this to the fullest.
“And you know what we call those people?”
“…What do you say?”
Suddenly, Dang Gyu-jin stopped laughing and spoke in a serious tone.
“Warrior.”
“!”
“Call me unmanned.”
Dang Gyu-jin opened his mouth wide, revealing his fangs.
Unmanned, unmanned!
I felt like I had been hit hard in the back of the head.
Yeah, that was right.
The reason why I wanted to have a fight with Dang Gyu-jin.
He wanted to change the perception of his family, catch the eye of the dark lord… he came up with all sorts of reasons, but in the end, there was only one fundamental reason.
Victory spirit.
Didn’t you feel that when you first met her and faced her with such momentum?
If you were to compete with me now, who would win?
Actually, I just wanted to check it out. I.
And the moment I realized this, I finally realized something new.
At this very moment, I have become a true martial artist like them.
“Wujin doesn’t simply refer to someone who uses martial arts. To be precise, it refers to people who are crazy about martial arts.”
“It’s something that only a crazy person can do. That’s what it is.”
“Yes. Otherwise, what can you do right?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
I was grateful to Dang Gyu-jin.
Because thanks to her, I was able to have a new mindset.
While I had approached martial arts only as a ‘tool’ to save my master and revive the new religion, she advised me to make martial arts more of a ‘lifestyle’ since it is definitely enjoyable.
Is that why?
Click!
I felt like something was changing in my lower abdomen.
It wasn’t like I had gained some new insight or reached some new realm.
It feels like something has become natural.
It seemed like things that had been out of sync, knowingly or unknowingly, were finally coming together.
I wanted to check what was going on, but I didn’t have time to check right away.
Because Dang Gyu-jin didn’t give him that kind of leeway.
“So since we’ve already drawn our swords, let’s do it properly until the end. Whose martial arts are better!!”
Tsk tsk tsk-
A pure white aura, as if filled with starlight, rose above the Cheonggang Sword and danced.
“Sword spirit!”
“The princess has reached the peak of her power!?”
“Peak at the age of the contract-”
They say it’s the best equipment in Sacheon.
It seemed to be true.
Who would have thought that he would pioneer a field where the number does not exceed one hundred in a single province at the young age of twenty?
The problem was that the black magic had the characteristic of tearing everything apart.
Even my whirlwind.
“Isn’t that a bit unfair?”
“If you were going to pick a fight with me, you should have expected something like this! Hehe!”
Tsupat!
Dang Gyu-jin laughed cheerfully and sprayed black energy randomly.
In that momentum like a raging storm, I raised a purple light.
A world dyed in purple.
He pulled out his amplified spirit energy to the max and swung his demonic attack again.
As the black energy was completely destroyed, I quickly closed the gap between me and Dang Gyu-jin, brought both hands together in the center of my chest, and hurled them forward with all my might like a battering ram breaking through a castle gate.
Hurricane cannon.
Among the many styles of Gwangpungmu, this was a one-hit, sure-kill attack boasting the greatest destructive power.
Kwaaaaang!
Jeojeojeong-
The Cheonggang sword that was facing the attack was completely shattered along with the sword energy.
Between the countless scattered fragments, Dang Gyu-jin and I launched our slashing and retreating techniques without anyone saying who would go first.
It was the final blow.
Hwaaaaak!
