Episode 638
It didn’t matter how much time had regressed up to this moment.
From now on, everything will be new.
I hugged my teacher tightly in my arms.
Up until now I’ve been so stupid.
During my time reversion, I hesitated countless times, and every moment of hesitation led to a mistake.
After graduating from the academy, when I started out on the Western Continent, I avoided any opportunity to fight.
He refused to use force whenever possible. He was evaluated solely on his administrative abilities.
That was the problem. I was complacent.
My father ruled the world with force.
I wanted to try something a little different.
It’s true that my father is smart. But if he were asked to work as the head of the supply office right now, he would probably stutter.
The father only draws the big picture and gives instructions on the system of the country he created.
I wanted to work my way up from the bottom.
I wanted to become an emperor who was recognized by everyone for his ‘ability’ rather than his ‘strength’. I wanted to become someone who could prove his ability to everyone in a different way than my father.
Ultimately, it was a failure.
I used to think that my way was right. I would read a book once and remember most of it. I learned quickly. I applied whatever I learned right away. Maybe it was arrogance.
As time went on, I realized that my approach was wrong.
Going up from the bottom? The cause is good.
Governing a country with your heart, not your strength?
It’s arrogance.
With power comes ability, and with power comes justification. With power, you can rule with your heart.
A ruler must have power.
If there is someone stronger than me among my subordinates, that is a problem in itself.
I feel tired for no reason.
We need to make it so that they can’t even think of such nonsense. To do that, here’s what’s needed.
It is the power that has been mentioned so many times before.
You must walk the path of vanity, not the path of the king.
I slowly pulled the teacher away.
“Master.”
“… …Why are you doing that?”
“I have something to tell you.”
The teacher looked at me with a strange expression. What on earth are you trying to say? That’s the kind of expression he had.
“The reason my father turned back time is because of me.”
“……what?”

“I asked for it. I need strength. What is happening on the Eastern Continent is the foundation I need most for my growth.”
“… … .”
“sorry.”
Master, no, Cell shook his head slowly.
“I understand.”
Seriously, the Master seemed to think so.
“It’s the past. You didn’t remember the years we walked together, but I did. And now we remember each other. There’s a saying that life is full of twists and turns. It was just hard and lonely. Now.”
now.
“You just have to go up. What is there to be afraid of? You and I are here.”
I ended up laughing.
And the smile I see in my teacher’s eyes is probably still a smile full of apology.
As I said before, I’m not stupid.
No matter how much the teacher tells me it’s okay, I can’t just ignore the moments when I fought alone in that twisted life.
“I will make you happy.”
“……me?”
“Yes. For the rest of my life. That’s all I can do to atone for my sins.”
The teacher chuckled.
“Just watch and see how it goes.”
and.
“I’ll go to Cheon Gong Seong for a bit.”
“… … Okay, have a nice trip.”
After smiling and kissing the teacher on the lips, he opened the space.
In an instant, my body was transported to the sky.
“Son, are you here?”
He’s my father.
My father was standing there, holding a wooden sword in his hand.
“Would you like to see the results?”
I kicked the seat without hesitation. My father’s sword came down. I turned my head to the side. But.
Phew-!
It hit my shoulder. The pain swept through my entire body. My legs were shaking. I ignored it. This much was okay. I gritted my teeth.
He just swung his fist.
On the side of my father’s face.

Pfft …
It hit the mark.

Jack steps back, his face cold.
and.
“You’ve grown so much. You even hit your father in the face.”
“If you had stopped, you would have just hit me in the face.”
I looked at Daniel, wiping my face.
“That’s pretty good. Can you predict it now?”
“… … Yes. Vaguely.”
“Let’s keep trying.”
Jack’s body dissipated like smoke in that spot. Daniel reacted this time too. He leaned back so much that he almost fell over.
So the ground touched my back.
Daniel could see his father’s wooden sword passing before his nose.
Judging by the black smoke flowing vaguely, it seems that they have gathered up their spirits.
It was creepy.
It doesn’t seem sincere, but when you see what he’s doing, you have to say it seems sincere. He just rolled to the side.
Kwaaaaang-!!
My father’s sword, no, his wooden sword, is stuck next to my face.
“… … .”
Judging by the way it was lodged properly, it looks like if I hadn’t avoided it, my head would have been pierced.
“Son, is this all you can do?”
My eyebrows furrowed. I raised my arm and grabbed my father’s wooden sword. My father’s eyes widened.
He swung his right foot at his father’s face.
Ugh.
It’s blocked.
It doesn’t matter. I have my left foot left. I swung my left foot the same way.
Pfft-!
I let go of my father’s hold on my foot and was pushed to the side.
I just stood up from my seat.
My legs pushed off the ground. I approached my father in an instant. My father reached out. A black vortex wrapped around my right arm. I stretched it out.
Kwaaaaang-!!
My father took two steps back, and I took two steps back too.
“Not bad, son.”
I kicked my seat again. My father reached out his hand just like he did just now. I lowered my head. I also threw my shoulders back because I thought it might not be enough.
Phew-!
It just brushes past.
In an instant, a whirlwind engulfed my entire body. Black smoke poured out like crazy. I poured my spirit into my elbow.

He swung it at his father’s side.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The attack was loud but not significant.
I thought I had perfectly targeted the gap. It was even fast.
But now, my elbow was being held by my father’s left hand.
My father didn’t even move. He just smiled.
There is nothing new about this.
My father is not at full strength right now. He is just there to watch my ‘achievements’.
This can’t go on. He raised his foot and kicked his father.
To be exact, I pushed it out.
Still, my father didn’t move. Instead, I was pushed back. That’s what I wanted.
“I kicked my father’s body, and in the past few days, his hair has become very… … .”
My father trailed off. It made sense.
Because a crimson energy was shaking crazily in my body.
It was a huge puff of smoke that covered my entire body.
The sky vibrated. No, the world vibrated.
“Son, you picked up something interesting from the Eastern Continent.”
“… … .”
“I told you. If you pick up anything and eat it, you’ll get sick.”
“Do I look like I’m in trouble?”
“little.”
I ended up laughing. My father spoke to me as if he was informing me.
“There is no turning back time.”
“… … .”
“Son. That’s really something a parent shouldn’t do. Even I am a bit like that.”
I know that’s true.
Yeah, I’m definitely serious.
Then I too must be sincere.
Achievements.
It has to be shown properly. To prove that not everything was meaningless time.
and.
To prove that I have everything.
He let his hands hang down at his sides.
A line of energy extends from my palm. It freezes.
It’s a sword.
Advertisements
A sword with a handle and hand that are integrated, without any vibration or anything like that.
“Aren’t you going to take out the Heavenly Demon Sword?”
“Yes. I don’t really want to bring it up right now.”
Father laughs.
I slowly put down my wooden sword. Just like me, a sword made of my father’s spirit appeared in my hand.
“Shall we take a look at our son’s record?”
That was enough.
An hourglass appears before your eyes.
Time is a thousand years.
Using a thousand years of power in an instant.
This is the limit of what my body can endure right now.
“The hourglass of time, that’s not how I told you to use it.”
He shook his head.
“When a difficult enemy appears, when you have to give it your all, when you have to show sincerity, and when you have someone you want to protect. My father told me to use it only when these four cases come together.”
“It’s a shame, but am I the enemy?”
“Right now.”
“That’s too much. My only sin is granting my son’s request.”
He shook his head.
“You lied, didn’t you?”
“… … .”
“You said you’ve never turned back time? That was a blatant lie, Father.”
The father, no, the emperor of the Milos Empire shrugs.
“Don’t you even know what a white lie is?”
“A lie is a lie, Father.”
It was at that moment that my father was about to say something.
I immediately kicked the seat.
It’s the basics of fighting.
Taking advantage of an opening and exploiting that opening.
My father’s reaction was a beat slower.
I put all my strength into my right hand.
The whirlwind is contained in the sword.
The space ripples. Mana is scared and the world shakes.
I swung it around just like that.
[Cheonma Shingong] [Five Arts, Heavenly Demon Descent]
My father took a step back and swung his sword.
Sword meets sword.

Oh my god-!!
A huge amount of soul fragments exploded in all directions. There was no retreat.
Gave more strength.
and.
At that moment, my father moved. He grabbed my sword with his left hand, which was not holding anything.
The aftereffects of the two swords meeting simultaneously surge upward.
Kwaaaaang-!!
I raised my head.
The sky was split in half.
And the shock wave spreading out from above was enormous to behold.
This is definitely a must.
That’s purely my power. My father just turned the direction of my power towards heaven.
This is only possible if my father fully understands and overpowers my power. I can hear my father’s voice in my ear.
“Son, are you planning to destroy the whole house?”
I’m speechless.
This is possible.
Should I say that it felt like I was facing an insurmountable wall?
After I got to the magic point, honestly, I wasn’t scared at all.
I thought that with the power I had, I might be able to reach my father.
Of course, it’s just difficult.
But if you pull back the hourglass of time by a thousand years, you will definitely reach it.
Wouldn’t it be possible to reach the level of my father, even if only for a little while?
I thought so, but it wasn’t.
The level of my father’s presence is beyond my ability to even guess at the level I have reached now.
Father slowly lowered his hand.
“Are you disappointed?”
“……yes.”
“I thought I could reach it, but I realized it was impossible?”
“……yes.”
My father stroked my head.
“Don’t worry. I haven’t reached that level at your age. You grow faster than me.”
“Are you comforting me?”
“It’s true, but it’s not empty words. I mean it.”
“… … .”
“It was not in vain.”

It feels like some of the emotions that had been sensitive are disappearing.
I feel relieved.
As my father said, it was not in vain.
You’ve been recognized.
My father just hugged me.
“You’ve worked hard, son.”
