Episode 130
– It’s clear. This guy is not Han Kang-hyuk.
It seems that the blood demon was finally convinced.
I thought I would find out someday.
Because I didn’t bother to pretend to be Han Kang-hyuk.
There was a good reason for my bold action.
The point is that the blood demon hates Han Kang-hyuk.
It wasn’t just a level of dislike, it was a level of disdain.
‘The blood demon was regretting having decided to teach Han Kang-hyuk.’
I was confident.
I am sure that unless I come out until the end, they will turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.
In other words, I am confident that the blood demon will not seek revenge on Han Kang-hyuk.
But that wasn’t the problem now.
“I asked who it was. “The person who taught you the sword technique.”
The blood demon asked me for the source of the martial spirit sword.
It is possible that you have already sensed the scent of Moorim.
“I think you are confusing dreams and reality. “It was a dream.”
“dream?”
“yes. “Haven’t you been talking about your dreams all along?”
“If I cut off your head right here, would it be a dream or reality?”
“You are speaking harshly.”
“Say it. “I could really cut off your head.”
The blood demon knows for sure.
As I came out of the semi-java state, I realized that what happened last night was real.
“Are you curious?”
There is no point in playing around anymore.
If I do it any more, my head might blow off.
“Say it.”
“What if I teach you? “What do you plan to do next?”
“I will go to meet you by any means necessary.”
“Why?”
“I have to compete with him. And it will be sorted out. “Whose swordsmanship is the best?”
I guess someone isn’t a martial artist.
“You are trying to determine the best of all time and era.”
“Is he also a martial artist?”
The Blood Demon’s pupils widen.
A smile appears on my lips.
Satisfaction was evident on his face.
“you’re right.”
“Then I guess I should meet you even more. Who are you? “He is.”
“… … “He is the supreme leader of the current Murim Church of the Heavenly Demon.”
There was no need to hide it.
I don’t know if the meeting between the two superhumans will actually happen, but for now, my interest is piqued.
It would be no different if Master also found out about the existence of blood demons.
“You’re a long way off my junior.”
“During all those long years, no one except the Supreme One could challenge the stronghold of the Surama Blood Sword. At least in Moorim.”
“This is something I thought would be impossible even after tens of thousands of years had passed.”
surprising.
I thought comments like this were something only Master would make.
“After all, he is likely to be in this tower.”
“He is also the one who opened the tower’s portal.”
The Blood Demon smiled satisfied with my answer.
If it’s somewhere in the tower, there must be a way to meet it.
“… … “I owe you yesterday and today.”
As expected, the Blood Demon had insight even without me saying anything.
I myself was caught in a poison spell.
And that I was able to escape from that because of what happened last night.
“Debts must be repaid. “The money I spent last night alone is enormous.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not the type of person to live in debt. “Because I won’t eat away at you.”
This made it clear.
It was the right choice to skip the level 16 chapter and come here.
* * *
It was that night that I received the tower’s message.
[You murdered Salseong.]
[Would you like to accept the new Sal Castle offer?]
I thought an offer would come one way or another.
Because the same suggestion came to me when I killed Han Kang-hyuk before I returned.
‘At that time, I accepted without hesitation.’

At that time, I knew that I would soon return, so I had no hesitation in becoming a Salseong myself.
Thanks to this, it was a good opportunity to satisfy some of my curiosity.
But now things are different.
If I accept this offer, there will be no turning back.
Nevertheless, you can’t help but whet your appetite because the terms of the offer are so fantastic.
[If you accept the offer to live, you will receive the following benefits.]
1. 800,000 gold
2. Legendary skill
3. Legendary weapon
4. Rapid growth in horsepower
The conditions of the proposal itself were different from before the regression.
I guess my ransom price has risen a lot.
[Do you want to accept?]
I gave neither a positive nor a negative answer.
I have no intention of accepting it, but it was nice to feel full just by opening the message window and looking at the conditions.
Anyway, as time passes, this message will automatically disappear.
I thought so.
‘But why doesn’t it go away?’
A message that still floats even after a long time has passed.
If this amount of time had passed, it would normally be considered a rejection, but the offer message still did not disappear.
‘Does the tower show regret for me?’
So my decision is still not to choose.
I’m going to reject it anyway, so I’ll have to let go of my bitterness.
* * *
The blood demon has changed.
Unlike the past two days, which were business-like, today I feel like a passionate, motivated teacher.
The master who chose me as his successor was not like this either.
To put it in a good way, the master had an autonomous but somewhat laissez-faire style, but the blood demon was very close to me and taught me every detail.
‘Could it be that everything was prepared?’
It’s so systematic that you can’t help but wonder.
I feel the will to settle the debt I feel.
“But I have one thing to ask you.”
“Please speak.”
“Which do you think is stronger?”
“yes?”
“If you compare me and him.”
In the end, it was a childish question at the level of an elementary school student.
Who is older? About.
“Does my opinion matter? “It’s not something I can judge anyway.”
“… … It is important.”
“Why?”
“For the martial arts people, worldly opinion is like life. And you are the only person who has seen me and him up close.”
It wasn’t an easy question.
Considering the time when the portal was opened, Blood Demon is hundreds of years ahead of Master.
You may think that the blood demons have the upper hand since they would have devoted more time to martial arts over that long period of time, but that does not mean that the blood demons were completely successful in reaching the top.
Anyway, both characters are just around the corner from the summit.
If you couldn’t get over that last wall, it might not matter much who lived longer.
Because you will be able to see fifty paces anyway.
“I don’t know. I really don’t know. However, if the day comes when you two have to decide, please do whatever you can and tell me the result. “I will definitely spread rumors within the tower.”
“You should tell me to go to the top… … .”
“Do you know anything else? “I wonder if the day will come when the tower will be connected to Moorim again.”
“good night. In any case, you are my link to him, so I will try to convey the news to you.”
As expected, the blood demon has changed.
How can you be so kind?
“By the way, are you close with Top?”
I thought maybe that was the case.
As far as I know, blood demons are the most stagnant water in the tower.
A person who has been living here long before the tower appeared on Earth.
It is even hundreds of years ahead of Master.
‘I couldn’t even ask Master… … .’
In fact, the ability to ask Master questions about the tower was limited.
Most things were said to be impossible to say due to the covenant with the Tower.
“Rather than expressing friendliness… … . “It is true that I have done a lot for the tower.”
“What have you been doing? “Can you please tell me?”
I swallowed my saliva and waited for the Blood Demon’s answer.
“I’m sorry, but this is a difficult question. Because of the pact with the tower… … .”
As expected, he is the same as the Blood Demon Master.
This damn oath is the problem.
But at that moment, I heard a voice from my heart.
– About 30% of the sword skills that exist in the tower are probably mine.
Shocking story.
I almost couldn’t control my facial expression for a moment.
Numerous skills that exist in the tower. These were all made by someone.
‘Is this how the game system came about?’
A problem I’ve never thought about before.
If what the blood demon said is true, the existence of other helpers in the tower could also be considered.
Numerous jobs and countless skills. It also meant that all of these had a motif.
I learned something very big today.
‘I need to dig a little deeper.’
There’s no way he’ll give me an answer, but since the blood demon has a crush on me right now, he won’t show any objection to the question itself.
“A pact with the tower. That’s sad. “I’m suddenly thinking of things I want to ask.”
“Probably most of these are things that cannot be answered. “I owe you a debt, but it’s a pity that I can’t pay it back with this.”
“okay.”
It doesn’t matter if you don’t say it directly, so please think about it in your heart. With this in mind, I asked a very important question.
“Do you even know about the being who created this tower? … … “Even if you know something, you won’t be able to answer.”
“I don’t know exactly, but I have a vague feeling. Of course, I can’t tell you this either.”
A natural reaction.
The key is the sound of the heart.
The problem is that you can hardly hear it from blood demons.
– If I become a climber, will I become that kind of person?
I finally listened.
As the blood demon said, it was something vague.
* * *
Three more days passed.
Although it was not a long period of time, significant progress was made.
As I practiced the Surama blood sword alone in Kalia and the blood demon completely pierced the blocked areas, my understanding and realization of the sword deepened to a deeper level.
I met the Blood Demon at a very appropriate time.
If I hadn’t had the time to endure alone and worry, my training with the Blood Demon wouldn’t have been as fruitful as it is now.
And one more thing that was beneficial.
The Surama blood sword that I am currently learning from the blood demon was slightly different from the one I saw in Kalia.
It is the final version created by blood demons who have supplemented and refined it over the hundreds of years since the days of Calia.
It’s not that it’s more powerful or that herbivory has become more sophisticated, but for me, it was smooth to learn.
This will have a positive effect on future training.
I became more and more satisfied with my choice to meet the Blood Demon.
‘And now you have become a full-fledged leader of the Surama Blood Sword?’
Joseph, a great gladiator, and Ella, a master of swordsmanship.
Now I can be sure that I am superior to them.
Of course, the difference between him and the blood demon is so great that the title of human being is meaningless.
And I don’t know when it started, but the message window in front of my eyes changed.
[If you accept the offer to live, you will receive the following benefits.]
1. 1 million gold
2. Legendary skill
3. Legendary weapon
4. Rapid growth in horsepower
[Do you want to accept?]
Obviously, condition 1 was 800,000 gold at first, but from when did it become 1 million gold?
I don’t know if it was the effect of melting away Tower’s sorrow, or if my value increased during the training, but there was definitely a change, and Tower still did not retract the love calls he sent me.
If I leave this as is, will the number go up?
Useless curiosity blooms for no reason.
