Episode 495
Chapter 7
The place where Jack is active is the east.
Since we traveled west by boat based on the Western Continent, the destination we arrived at had to be east based on the Eastern Continent.
Then why ‘Eastern Continent’ and ‘Western Continent’?
If you go east from the Eastern Continent, you will come across the ‘Western Continent’. Then, the Western Continent should become the Eastern Continent and the Eastern Continent should become the Western Continent, but this is not really a big problem.
Originally, those who were on the Eastern Continent fled to avoid Ragnarok. Where did they flee to? To the west.
So, the Western Continent is where the Milos Empire is located.
Jack did not retrace the path of those who had fled Ragnarok in the past. He moved in the opposite direction.
The reason was nothing special.
Because the coordinates left by the Dragon Lord were west of the Western Continent.
The ‘executors’ of that time were fed up with Ragnarok. They were in a state of fear. But they weren’t stupid, so they wouldn’t have left traces on the path they came from.
I just created a hole in the opposite direction and Jack just followed it to the Eastern Continent. I’m saying this now, but if you moved east from the Western Continent, you could have gotten to the Eastern Continent faster than the path Jack took.
Anyway, there were two men in the northern region of that continent.
A boy who looked to be in his mid to late teens, and a man who looked to be in his mid 30s.
In the Eastern Continent, and in the martial arts world, they have no name. But in other places, it was different. They were called like this.
The continent’s strongest swordsman, Heynckes Beckerman, and the Tulcan Empire’s greatest talent, Roman Stewart.
They were in a cave in a valley at the edge of Hebei Province.
Beckerman was lying down, covered in wounds all over his body. Roman was nursing him.
“Have you looked outside… …?”
Beckerman’s voice was weak. In fact, it was natural that it was weak. He had swum through the Black Sea. Of course, there was no boat, so he swam with all his might.
Since he was not a transcendent being like Jack, Beckerman used all his means. Mana was not enough. He did not even realize the power of the soul. He used his innate power. Because he used it, he ended up like this. Above all, in the process, his first disciple, ‘Merengues’, drowned in the sea.
It’s dead.
There is only one thing that is important.
That we have arrived at the Eastern Continent.
Roman said in Beckerman’s voice.
“Yes. I’m back, Master.”
“How… … Phew… … How was it?”
“… … It was a place where people lived.”
“person……?”
“They were people who wore different clothing and spoke an ancient language.”
There was no need to elaborate. Only one thing was important: that the conversation was communicative.
“This place is called Murim.”
“… … Murim?”
“It is a world where the idea of self-respect for the strong is deeply rooted and where the strong are swarming.”

Beckerman closed his eyes. Iskandar’s words still lingered in his mind.
Go to the Eastern Continent and bring back those who will kill him.
Even though I was lying down for several days and tossing and turning, I could never forget that last order.
I didn’t think things would work out that easily. But this isn’t the case.
“Coolook… … Okay, did I get it right… … .”
“… … Yes. And.”
“and?”
“… … The Emperor is here in the Eastern Continent.”
The fist was clenched tightly.
There is only one who is called Emperor.
Jack Balantier, no, Jack Milos.
The man who overthrew Tulcan and united all races, including foreign races, to create one nation.
The ruler of the Western Continent, a monster bastard with unbelievable achievements.
“There are many groups here, including the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Sacheon Alliance. It is said that the Emperor single-handedly destroyed the Jeongcheon Alliance.”
“under…….”
“Here in the Eastern Continent, the name for the emperor is Ma-Zon.”
“… …Amazon?”
“It is said that in this Eastern Continent, there is Ilma, Samjon, Samwang, and Ohje. It is said that the leader of the Jeongcheon Alliance that the Emperor killed was a man named Yanjon Hwacheon Daesa, one of the Samjon, and that the Emperor who killed him became the Demon Lord and took that position.”
It was amazing.
I know that the Emperor is strong. I think he knows this better than anyone else on this continent. But.
A man like that is called ‘just’ an ‘Amazon’.
Are there two more strong people who can compare to him?
Beckerman felt as if a light was shining down on him for a moment.
“In all those words… … are there no lies?”
“Yes, Master. There is no lie. The place I found information from is ‘Hebei Province’ down here, and just near there, the story about Amazon Jack Milos was spreading like wildfire.”
Beckerman’s body trembled. He tried to stand up. He was moving with difficulty, but he was clearly trying to stand up.
“Then… … I guess I can protect it.”
“… … Master… … .”
“I can keep His Majesty’s will… … Cool.”
“Master-!”
Roman had no choice but to scream, because black blood was gushing out of Beckerman’s mouth.
“Stop talking. You need to get some more rest.”

Roman was sincere. He had already decided on a path. He was confident that he could continue on that path. He didn’t care if he died here. Roman’s small wish was that Beckerman, whom he had come to regard as his teacher, would recover his health.
Beckerman vomited blood once more. He was trying to keep moving. Roman gritted his teeth. His eyes grew cold.
“Master, please… … lie down.”

A surprising thing happened after those words.
“Lie down as the little child says.”
It was an unfamiliar voice.
Roman instinctively drew his sword from his waistband. He turned his body and almost immediately aimed his sword in the direction of the sound.
It was a very quick movement, and the large man standing at the entrance smiled strangely.
“The little kid is quite a person.”
Roman stood in front of Beckerman, blocking him with his back. He aimed his sword with one hand and checked the man’s appearance.
He was over 190cm tall. He had long hair, and his hair was a harmonious blend of white and black.
It was hard to tell if he was middle-aged or old, but his appearance was middle-aged. He seemed to be in his 40s.
“Who are you?”
The man answered Roman’s question.
“Well, can’t you just look at me as a passerby?”
“Then just pass by.”
A smile appears on the large man’s lips.
“I thought about that, but I have a question for you. Could you answer it?”
Roman was nervous. He didn’t know what to say. Should he call it instinct? Or maybe a feeling.
That man was definitely standing there. He was standing there, but… … I don’t feel his presence.
It feels like you’re just seeing nature itself.
It felt heavy and light, hot and cold.
It’s such a complex feeling, but I know one thing. That man is strong. And I’ve definitely felt this feeling before. Kkwak, the hand holding the sword tightened. At that sight, the large man’s eyes drew a curve.
“This… … The more I look at it, the more it seems like an object. Are my conscious and subconscious minds making different judgments about my existence?”
Gurruk, cold sweat ran down Roman’s forehead. Ah, now I think I understand.
I really felt like I knew. I knew exactly where I had gotten this feeling. Jack Milos.
It’s like ‘that’ feeling I got when I saw the Emperor. Yes, that’s the feeling.
I swallowed hard. My heart spun in circles.
Why is Roman okay when Beckerman is knocked out? Beckerman protected Roman.
That is grace. Grace as a teacher.
I can’t back down. Even if the man in front of me has the same power as Jack Milos, I can’t back down.
“… … Huh… … This is the first time in my life that I feel like I want to take on a ‘disciple’. It’s truly amazing.”
Roman gritted his teeth.
“I already have a teacher.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
“Then what if I kill your teacher?”
“… … Then I will die too.”

Hahahaha-!!
The man laughed heartily as if he liked it.
“I’m joking. I don’t point my sword at those who have collapsed from exhaustion. That’s how I’ve lived. That’s how I’ll continue to live.”
“… … Then just go.”
“That can’t be. Didn’t I tell you? I have a question.”
“Then go ahead and ask.”
The man moved to the side, leaned back against the wall, and asked in a nonchalant tone.
“Are you from the Western Continent?”
Roman’s expression hardened. Beckerman’s expression, who was lying down, also hardened. How…?
“Why are you looking so curious? You’re wearing clothes that aren’t worn here, you seem to be speaking awkwardly, and you have blond hair. Since you don’t seem to know much about it, I’ll tell you that blond hair is extremely rare in this land. And on top of that, the man who calls himself the Emperor of the West has been doing some amazing things recently, so it’s impossible not to know.”
“… … Were you following me?”
“That’s true too. It seems like the young friend is very upset.”
Roman shook his head.
“We have no connection with that emperor. So, go.”
The large man nods.
I thought he nodded to indicate that he would go, but I didn’t.
It was just a gesture of satisfaction.
The man turned away from the wall and approached.
Roman gushed out mana. He channeled it into his sword and swung it.
Phew-! It cut through the air.
There was no man there.
Roman quickly turned his head and saw the man standing next to Beckerman.
His two eyes meet Beckerman’s wide-open eyes.
“… … I thought even a child’s talent was extraordinary… … but you’re no slouch either.”
“Coolook… …Who the hell are you?”
The man laughed.
“My name is Hyukjin Kang. I am called the Sword Master in this martial arts world.”
“… … Inspection?”
“And in the Heaven and Earth, he is called the Son of Heaven.”
Beckerman couldn’t understand. Wasn’t the Murim referring to this land? Was Cheonwicheon different from this Murim?
Hyukjin Kang sat down on his seat. Then he placed his hand on Beckerman’s heart.
Just as Roman was about to swing his sword, his body stopped.
The Hyukjin River has stopped.
It was meaningless to express something with words or anything like that. Hyukjin Kang was a being with the power to bind something with will alone.
After that, Beckerman opened his eyes wide. Because… … his body was recovering.

Strength is returning to my arms. Strength is returning to my legs. The misaligned bones are realigning and my flesh is healing.
Soon Hyukjin Kang removed his hand.
Beckerman slowly rises.
I just couldn’t help but ask.
“Why… … did you treat me?”
“well.”
“… … .”
“If you have fully recovered, can we talk for a moment?”
“If you are talking about a story, what kind of story are you talking about?”
Hyuk Jin-gang’s eyes lit up for a moment.
“About Jack Milos, the man called the Emperor of the West.”
“… … .”
“If you tell me everything you know about that man, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”
“You treated me… didn’t you?”
Hyukjin Kang smiled mysteriously.
“That is that, and isn’t this this?”
Roman finally put down his sword. Then he sat down. Beckerman sat down too.
“I don’t know much about you from the West, so I’ll tell you everything I know ‘first.’”
“… … .”
“Do you know about Ragnarok?”
That was the beginning. The three of them talked. It was about what happened when Jack took the life of the Gwangjon Wonjae on the opposite side of the Eastern Continent.
