Episode 483
Yu Je-ha approached Jack with a light gesture.
Although the situation was still confusing, for Yu Je-ha, he didn’t really care what Shin-yi did. He didn’t care whether Xiahou Ying died or not, or whether Xiahou Dun over there went crazy or not.
Yoo Jae-ha’s interest was only one thing.
Getting educated by that guy.
A man who is in such a distant position will now tell you the starting point for crossing the line from the present to the realm of life and death. You must accept it. You must become stronger.
Because it was unmanned. That was Yoo Jae-ha’s only concern, and nothing else caught his eye. It’s only now that he says it, but it had only been ten minutes since he had eaten.
However, while eating, I couldn’t tell if the food was going into my nose or my mouth.
Now that waiting is over.
Yoo Je-ha gave a very sincere smile.
* * *
[Come to think of it, I didn’t ask that.]
He is good at cooking Hancheon Bingje Yusul. He is especially good at Bingjo, a dish that even Jack, who had tasted many dishes from Guinness and Ron, the chefs of the Milos Empire, was impressed by. Cell asked Valentine, who was talking nonsense while eating Bingjo right now.
-What?
Actually, I had a guess. In that place called Jongdo, the second son of a man named Jinwoo, the tyrant, was killed. It was obvious that things would get worse, so it was understandable to be worried. But I was wrong.
Valentine wasn’t curious about that.
[At that time, I didn’t even ask where the man belonged or anything like that.]
Cell’s expression becomes strange. In context, the man he is talking about here is a large man with impressive black and white hair. The man Valentine himself said was his equal.
-I guess you’re very worried.
[I’m so nervous…]
Valentine smiled faintly as he bit into the chicken leg.
Because it wasn’t a wrong statement.
[Yeah, you’re right. It’s nerve-wracking.]
There are many strong people in this continent. I realized that clearly when I came to this place called the Ice Palace.
Among them, that man was unique.
But, this may be a really pointless thought, but is that guy really the best in the world?
It was then that Yoo Seol-ha, who had been quiet, opened her mouth.
“May I ask who the man you are talking about is?”
hmm.
“I have a broad perspective. If you tell me your impression, I can try to identify you.”
Valentine pictured the man in his mind. Then, he told Yu Seol-ha exactly what he had seen.
[His hair was a harmonious blend of black and white, and was quite long. He was carrying a sword, and there were two lines drawn on the sword.]
At least for Yoo Seol-ha, who had a place of her own in this martial arts world, that was more than enough.
“Sword Executioner… … .”
[Checkpoint?]
“The Sword Master Hyuk Jin Kang. It’s definitely him.”
Oh, it was Valentine who let out a small exclamation. I really wondered who that man was, but it was so easy to solve.
[Tell me more.]
“… … With my mouth open?”
It was a remark that took a great deal of courage on Yuseolha’s part.
Valentine smiles softly.
[Okay, what do you want?]
“… … Skin care method?”

[Don’t joke.]
Yuseolha coughs softly.
“Can you do it just once?”
[No?]
“To be honest, I wanted to ask the Emperor of the West… … but I missed the timing.”
It’s no surprise that Yoo Seol-ha and Yoo Je-ha are siblings. They look alike.
Just as Yoo Jae-ha desires to become stronger, Yoo Seol-ha also desires to become stronger.
Why would Yuseolha invite Jack to the Ice Palace? Even though the work of Taegeuk Sword Master and the work of Hwacheon Daesa were intertwined, the original purpose was to prevent a fight.
He invited Jack to the Ice Palace to learn from him, to learn from him who was much stronger, and to break the wall beyond this realm.
Just as Jack read the longing in Yujeha, so did Valentine.
[You’ve held back from saying that until now.]
It was Valentine’s assessment of Yuseolha’s appearance that seemed to have been heated up.
I stood up slowly. Yuseolha also stood up, following Valentine.
[Come out to the backyard.]
Chapter 3
Yoo Je-ha and I stood about 10 meters apart. Personally, I think that promises are meant to be kept. I keep my promises.
He spoke slowly.
“They say that the more you polish a sword, the stronger it becomes. In fact, it’s no different from an uninhabited island. The more you fight, the stronger you become.”
Yujeong immediately asked a question after hearing that.
“Is it the same thing you said to me before when I was at Dangwangsan?”
He nodded.
At that time, I told Yoo Jae-ha this. I have no intention of running away. If you run away once, you will run away twice, and if you run away twice, you will run away three times.
It may seem ignorant and reckless, but that’s how I got here.
After hearing those words, Yoo Je-ha replied, “What a great attitude.”

Yeah, good attitude.
The situation was very serious at that time. In that situation, he described my words as ‘at most’ a good attitude.
I just thought of it as some kind of ‘advice’. I don’t mean to criticize or anything. This is just my personal experience and the path I’ve walked. But one thing is for sure.
If you have that kind of mindset, as long as Yoo Jae-ha sticks to that kind of mindset, he will never be able to break through the wall of the transcendent.
What I mean is that Yoo Je-ha is currently dominated by stereotypes. This is an extension of that conversation back then.
Yoo Jae-ha asked a question.
“What if you keep fighting without stopping and end up dying?”
My answer was simple.
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
“… … .”
I asked Yoo Je-ha, who seemed at a loss for words, in a light tone.
“Don’t you think it’s irresponsible?”
“… … A little bit.”
Of course, it’s not wrong to say that it’s irresponsible. But.
“I mean, when I was young, I just ran away and lived.”

“… … .”
“If you look at me now, you probably wouldn’t think that would happen, right? But that’s actually true. I was oppressed, persecuted, and looked down upon by my half-brother. Of course, I killed my brother, my father, and my stepmother, but the important thing is that my past wasn’t all that good.”
He stuck the Heavenly Horse Sword into the ground and continued speaking slowly.
“Then I met my benefactor, the teacher I wanted to spend my life with. Do you know what I pledged to myself first then?”
“I don’t know.”
“I won’t run away from anything. That’s what I promised myself.”
“… … .”
“They say that in the Western Continent, if a beginner master fights a 9th circle mana user, he will definitely win. But in my opinion, that’s not the case.”
“… … .”
“Even if you transcend the level, you are still one life. You think with your head. Everyone makes mistakes. Even if you transcend the level, you cannot be perfect. It’s just a difference in how much or how little you do, how fast or slow you do it, the number of times and the speed. What this means is.”
I turned my head and looked at Ron.
“In any situation, there is a small chance of winning. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2%, 1%, or a decimal point. The fact that there is a chance is the most important thing.”
I just crossed my arms.
“As long as the opponent is human, or at least a thinking being, there is always a chance of winning. In my case, for example, I never ran away or gave up even for a moment. When my arms were blown off, I bit them with my teeth, and when my teeth were gone, I attacked with my nails, and I won in any way. I gritted my teeth and fought every moment. It may seem quite different from how I am now, but I was always the underdog. That was the world I lived in.”
I raised my head and looked at Yoo Je-ha.
“You said you’re 49 this year?”
“……exactly.”
“You said you started learning martial arts when you were 8, so you’ve been learning for about 41 years?”
“That’s true too.”
“I’ve been through the process of reversing the tide, so I’m about 35 years old. I started learning Mana properly when I was 18, so it’s been about 17 years.”
“… … .”
“I’ve come this far in 17 years. Is it simply because of talent? Well, you know. Those who lump everything together as talent in this industry are losers. So who’s right?”
Yoo Jae-ha looks at me, Rondo looks at me. Everyone looks at me.
Strictly speaking, the current situation of the Eastern Continent and the world of the Half-Bloods I lived in in the past were very similar. Of course, the world I lived in was a bit more dangerous. That’s because I turned the entire world into my enemy. The important thing is that this situation of the Eastern Continent was not created in a short period of time. Hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years.
For a long time, the Eastern Continent maintained this system. In that system, the wall of the transcendent beings that were left behind could not be broken. Is that really a coincidence?
I turned my head. I ignored Yu Je-ha for a moment and looked at Ron, who was deep in thought. A smile came out.
“That’s why I’m here. That’s why the Emperor of the Western Continent came to the Eastern Continent.”
No matter how divine Ragnarok is, no matter how improbable its powers are, it is a thinking being.
In my previous life, I always lived on such a stage. Half-bloods were stronger than me, more cunning than me, and more disgusting than me. I killed them all and stood here.
so.
There is no one else who can kill Ragnarok but me. That is why I can say that I can kill him.
I tapped the handle of the Heavenly Demon Sword with my finger. Back to the main topic.
“All I can do is provide the board.”
Yoo Je-ha listens to what I say with a very serious expression.
“Depending on what you do from now on, you can either break the wall, or you can just see, or you can’t see. Do you know what I mean?”

Yoo Jae-ha nods.
I raised my hand. A black stream of air shot out from my hand and covered me and Yu Je-ha.
“Just listen without opening your mouth. Honki is a higher energy than mana. The density and concentration are simply incomparable. Of course, since it is a higher energy than mana, the body that receives it must also adapt to Honki.”
