Episode 486

Sura Island.
Why is it called Sura among all the nicknames?
It is true that I should have the last word since I am sitting in the throne room. That was an inevitable and irresistible force according to the system of martial arts.
But the water in front clearly had another meaning.
Yoo Jae-ha is 188cm tall.
The weapon he is holding is similar. The name of this sword, which has black stripes drawn vertically and horizontally, is Shura.
Because he was the master of this Tao, Yu Je-ha’s nickname was Sura Do-je.
There is one thing to think about here too.
The name of the weapon is included in the nickname, which is like life to the unmanned unit. What does this mean?
It’s very simple.
The material of Sura-do is eternal iron. It is not something that was simply added, but Sura-do itself is a lump of eternal iron.
This sword was made 300 years ago. The Shura Sword is the weapon used by Yuma, the greatest swordsman in the world 300 years ago.
Just being the owner of this sword proves his worth.
The one who gives milk is the master of this way.
Actually, if you think about it, it’s simple.
Why is it called Emperor?
There is a hidden meaning behind this offer.
The best in the world.
To be exact, it refers to the future best candidate in the world.
The one who has the potential to become the best in the world in the future is Oh Je.
Yoo Je-ha, Ha Hoo-don, Jin-woo, Yoo Seol-ha, and even the recently departed Taegeuk Sword Master Jong Un-seong.
There are some people in the world who sit in the position of the virtuous. It means that there are people who are virtuous even though they are not the virtuous. What makes them different is their potential.
The Shura sword cuts through the air.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Even though it cut through the air, a loud noise erupted. The Shura sword is strong.
When I faced Jack on the mission before, I couldn’t show him anything. But now it was different.
Because Jack was lowering his level to bring out the maximum potential of Yujeha.
Kwaaaaang-!! Kwaaaaang-!! It cuts through the air and clashes with Jack’s Heavenly Demon Sword. Sparks fly.
Yu Je-ha’s body moved sideways. Jack moved in the opposite direction.
They balance each other out.
Their hands are clenched and their weapons are swung.
Kwaaaaaaaah-!!
A tremendous shockwave rippled out in all directions. Tens of thousands of residents of the palace watched from afar, raising their arms to block the wind.

“under-!”
With a loud roar, the Shura-do flew forward. It was an action that neither Jack nor anyone else had expected. Because he didn’t just rush in, but he let go of the Shura-do and rushed in.
If you do Yoojeha, you get Sura, if you do Sura, you get Yoojeha. That common sense has been broken.
When Han Cheon-Bing-Je Yoo Seol-Ha was dueling with Valentine, she insisted on using her own skills.
If that’s the best, if that’s really the best, Hancheon Bingje Yu Seol-ha’s whole life will be spent standing still. Valentine told her. You’re not ready yet.
Yoo Seol-ha and Yoo Je-ha were different. Yoo Je-ha didn’t believe in technology. She just believed in herself.
You don’t need weapons. You just have to make your body into a weapon. That was definitely something different. It was an effort to break conventional wisdom.
A smile appears on Jack’s lips.
Yoo Jae-ha swung his fist.
Kuung.
The sound was small, like a small step, like a whisper of the wind.
Then Paaaaaaaang-!!
The air bursts open and a deafening roar rips through your ears. It’s beyond the speed of sound.
As expected, Jack avoided it. Even as he avoided it, Jack’s smile did not disappear.
Should I call it a feeling?
The Sura Island Festival is coming.
Our first meeting wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad. It was definitely something I couldn’t explain except as a feeling.
Jack likes the strong.
I know better than anyone the desire to be strong, because I have longed to be strong and have actually become strong.
That’s why I liked Yoo Jae-ha.
That passion and obsession.
Of course, those two alone wouldn’t be enough to get to the next level. But Yuje was trying to get there now.
He swung his fists in succession. Thud!
The air cracks. Jack swings his sword.
At that moment, Yuje didn’t think about anything. It may seem contradictory, but I really didn’t think about anything.
Naturally, Yoo Jae-ha’s feet rise.
chin.
Yu Je-ha’s foot touches the surface of the Cheonmasingeom. Then, the direction changes.
Yoo Jae-ha’s fist opened. To be exact, it opened slightly as if he was holding the handle of a sword. He swung it like that.
A strange light was flickering from Yu Je-ha’s eyes and body.
Golden light. Jack flinched for a moment at the mysterious sight. This is faster than he thought.
I tilted my head back.

Crunch-!
It was a very faint cutting sound. To my surprise, there was a small gash on Jack’s neck. And red blood was pooling there. It was a scratch.
Surprisingly, there was a weapon in Yoo Jae-ha’s hand.
Advertisements
To be exact, it is a giant sword in the shape of a weapon.
It was almost 2 meters long. Including the handle, it would be at least 2.3 meters long.
A yellow light was pulsing from the sword, as if a mid-level master was drawing mana.
Color doesn’t matter. That’s not internal energy or mana. That’s the power of the soul.
I felt a strange sensation as I was practicing Shura Doje. I stopped moving and stopped fighting. At that moment, Pasuk, the ‘Do’ disappeared.
Something was really confusing.
Have I reached the next level? Have I become capable of handling the spirit?
I kept thinking that way because I didn’t feel like anything had changed or anything.
Usually, when you go from beginner to intermediate or from intermediate to advanced, you go through a complete transformation. Your body changes three times, once each time, and of course, Yoo Je-ha went through that process as well.
But what is this?
I don’t feel anything.
It was ambiguous whether I had reached the realm or not.
Jack said to Yoo Jae-ha,
“Are you shocked?”
“… … A little bit.”
Yoo Jae-ha opened his palm. There was nothing there.
“What did I just do?”
“What have you done, you’ve just advanced to the next level.”
“… … .”
“You just climbed over the wall without even looking at it. That’s why you’re confused. What you just wrote is the power of the soul.”
Jack, as he spoke, pointed to a spot on his neck with his hand.
“If not, how do you explain this wound?”
Jack’s neck was still bruised, just a little, but that wasn’t the point.
The one who is doing it now is empty-handed. The asura was stuck far away.
It wasn’t a crystallization of energy made of chi. That sword just now was something that couldn’t be explained by anything.
Jack said, sinking the Heavenly Horse Sword he was holding into the floor.
“The path you must take from now on is simple.”
“… … What is that?”
“You make the energy you just felt completely yours.”
“… … .”
“With that energy, you can create weapons like you did just now, or you can cover your entire body and strengthen your body like I do now. The world is full of things you don’t know, but if you learn magic, you will be able to use that energy to perform magic.”
In this situation, there was only one thing Yoo Je-ha had to say.
“Thank you.”
He bowed his head on the spot and emphasized once again.
“Thank you so much.”

“What are you thankful for?”
Yujeha raised his head at Jack’s nonchalant voice. It was visible in Yujeha’s eyes.
A picture of Jack unclenching his fist.
For a moment, I thought the sound of it clicking was impressive.
“Why are you letting go of my hand?”
Jack was still smiling. He answered with a smiling face.
“It is a cause for celebration to have overcome the wall.”
“But?”
“No matter how much I lowered my standards, I still got hit.”
Naturally, my gaze went to the wound on Jack’s neck. Naturally, I felt uneasy.
“It can’t end like this.”
* * *
Valentine was sitting on a chair, wearing a black robe. Yu Seol-ha asked her.
“Those two kids are incredibly talented.”
Charlotte and Sel were sparring.
Charlotte used a dagger and Cell used a longsword. Interestingly enough, Cell’s weapon was the Silarion that Jack had used before he acquired the Heavenly Demon Sword, and the two were evenly matched.
Kwaang-!! Kwaang-!! A loud noise erupted every time the two weapons collided.
Charlotte’s hand swells up for a moment. It’s a partial rigidity technique that was raised without her knowledge. Cell naturally memorized the spell as the attack advanced at a much faster speed than usual.
-[Blink]
The body moves backwards in an instant.
Yoo Seol-ha, who was watching the scene, suddenly stood up from her seat.
“Brother… … Hwan-hwi?”
It was Valentine who answered those words.
[The dust is flying.]
“ah…….”
[Sit down.]
Yu Seol-ha sat down without saying a word. But her surprised eyes remained.
Looking closely, it doesn’t seem to be Lee Hyung-hwan-hwi. Since ancient times, Lee Hyung-hwan-hwi refers to the extreme masters who spread their magic while leaving behind afterimages, but that is different. That is just moving through space.
That was even stranger. It felt strangely familiar.
It doesn’t seem like Lee Hyeong-hwan, but it’s strangely similar. I don’t know how to explain this. Then, Valentine’s voice pierces Yoo Seol-ha’s ears.
[At first, I didn’t know either.]
I turned my head. Valentine, who had been sitting quietly drinking tea, slowly continued speaking.
[I realized this while fighting the evil forces. The martial arts here and the magic where I lived are the same.]
By the way, the tea Valentine drank was black tea. It was the black tea that was mainly drunk in the Western Continent.
Of course, the ingredients were not brought from there. This black tea was made by Yu Seol-ha herself. The ingredients are the same for the Eastern and Western Continents.
[I thought dragons had the longest history, but that wasn’t the case.]
“……yes?”
[If you look at the time period, this martial arts and magic started in this eastern continent.]
I didn’t understand what was being said, but I just listened in silence.
[But, it seems that there are two groups: those who know the difference between the two and those who don’t.]
“What are you talking about?” said Valentine, smiling at Yu Seol-ha with that expression on her face.
[Don’t worry about it. It’ll all just flow.]
“… … .”
So I closed my mouth and looked straight ahead again.

Just then, Cell mutters in a small voice.
-[Earthquake.]
