Episode 285
“It’s been a while. You stupid disciple.”
“Master.”
The person waiting for me on the other side of the dimensional wall was Master.
In fact, I had a vague idea that it might be Master.
Being able to transmit one’s will to the holy sword Gaia from beyond the dimension was by no means something that an ordinary being could do.
“Did you finally succeed in climbing the mountain?”
The moment I met the master, I could intuitively understand it.
The status of a master has changed from before.
“That’s right. And this is a special time given to me right before the summit.”
“Then, if you really climb the ship….”
Now, due to the difference in rank, Master is cut off from the world.
It also meant ascending to a position equal to that of the 12 lords of the Tower.
If you think about it, it’s simple.
I, too, have not been able to communicate directly with the monarch without going through Jenna.
Because of the ‘difference in class’ that I cannot understand.
“Consider it an honor to spend my last moments on earth with you.”
“……Master.”
I missed you.
I also wanted to show it.
The level of martial arts martial arts skills I have mastered has now reached a level that I am not ashamed of.
“Are you thrilled?”
“Well, a little bit yes.”
“That’s just the reaction. Anyway, the conversation around it is still not interesting.”
“Isn’t that master his disciple?”
“Hehe. You still have a bad way of speaking. But I’ll just overlook it. You also contributed to helping me get to the top earlier.”
“Me?”
“Blood Demon. That old man who helped you meet as a bridge. In all my life, I never thought there would be someone I could discuss swords with!”
Only then did I understand what it meant.
The reason why the Master was walled up for such a long time was none other than the Master himself.
Thanks to the greatest talent of all time, I have been in a position to dominate others throughout my life.
“Blood Demon, that friend was such a great old man.”
In order to peel off the last layer of yourself, you had to meet someone who was at least equal to you.
In the end, the blood demon played that role.
“It appears that you gained your final enlightenment during the confrontation with the blood demon.”
Master nodded.
Heavenly Demon and Blood Demon.
These two giants I met were difficult to distinguish between superiority and inferiority to each other.
If we look at talent alone, Master would have the upper hand.
The Blood Demon also recognized Master’s genius just by looking at the unfinished martial arts sword I had unfolded.
However, the blood demon had a long period of time that the master did not have.
The hundreds of years the Blood Demon spent in the tower were enough to fill the gap in his talent.
“So what happened?”
“Are you talking about a match between me and a blood demon? You’re asking something so obvious.”
Master looked at me and smiled his characteristic arrogant smile.
“Have you really won the battle against the blood demon, Master?”
“It was a good match that will never be repeated in the history of Moorim.”
It’s a fight that wouldn’t be surprising at all no matter who wins.
Although the only person I call Master is Master, when you think about it, Blood Demon was also my only teacher, so I have no intention of siding with anyone.
“Then the blood demon….”
“You mean that old man? It looks like he succeeded in ascending the blood magic sword. Ah! It doesn’t make sense that even after feeling all the essence of the martial spirit sword with his body, he couldn’t ascend!”
“…….”
In the end, it means that the blood demon also achieved final enlightenment.
When I think about the fact that I learned the swordsmanship of the two people who joined me, I realize once again how fortunate I was at this tower.
“By the way, Master. It’s not important, but I have one question.”
“What?”
“Master, you defeated the blood demon. Does the blood demon agree with this?”
“What, are you really doubting this master?”
“That’s not it, the fact that Blood Demon climbed the summit together gave the feeling that the two people were competing against each other.”
“It is true that we are equals, but I am definitely ahead by half of a half. I am sure even that old man would admit that.”
In this case, I feel like I need to listen to the blood demon side as well.
“okay.”
“Yes, this guy! That expression is very annoying right now.”
“No. As a descendant of the Heavenly Demon, I have absolutely no disrespectful thoughts.”
“Are you sure?”
“Really.”
“Okay, then let’s believe it.”
Looking at Master’s side like this, it doesn’t seem like his character will mature even if he joins the ranks.

In fact, this is true just by looking at the behavior the monarchs have shown so far.
Sometimes we favor someone or hate someone for very trivial reasons. Sometimes they give you ridiculous missions.
“Anyway, what’s going on with your physical condition right now? It’s extremely unstable.”
As expected, the master recognizes it immediately just by looking at it.
“I took something called the Mana Tree Fruit. So much mana energy has settled in my body that I am not able to absorb it all at once and am making it my own little by little.”
“You foolish bastard! Are you going to absorb this enormous energy little by little and make it all yours over a certain period of time?”
Actually, this was one of the homework I had to solve.
It was too much energy to control as I wanted, so I was only controlling it carefully to the extent that it did not put too much strain on my body.
But as Master said, this is something that takes too much time.
Master looks at me and sighs.
After all, to this giant, I am still just a very small being.
“If it were the way it was, it would be something you would have to awaken to on your own, but….”
Paaaat!
Master’s palm touches my Danjeon, creating a strong wave.
There is no pain whatsoever.
It felt like the huge energy floating inside my body was instantly dissolved in the seething Danjeon.
“It’s like being spoon-fed to a very young child.”
Paaaaat!
The master’s hand movements continued.
As if by magic, this huge energy dissolved in the dantian according to the master’s will begins to move around every corner of my body.
“Isn’t it my fault for having such a foolish student that I am doing such an unsightly thing?”
Paaaaat!
Adun.
Not long ago, I was almost on equal footing with the Murim Lord.
Even though I used a lot of great items at the time, if I were to fight again now, I wouldn’t be able to lose even if I were to set aside all of my items.
Nevertheless, it is Adun.
Although we have come a long way from the old adjective of trash.
“If it wasn’t for the fact that I was about to climb a mountaineering ship, I would never have done it.”
Paaaaat!
Following the Master’s hand gestures, a huge energy passed through two and three streams within my body, and I was being reborn.
“It is now.”
“Master!”
It’s an unbelievable change that happened in an instant.
The energy of mana was immeasurably filled.
But the master immediately urged me.
“You should feel ashamed.”
My head bows naturally.
The master’s level ahead of the summit is truly amazing.
It was so great that I was speechless before, but now it is literally transcendental.
“There is no time. Now unfold the martial spirit sword in front of me.”
Master’s urging.
It meant that the special time before the climb was almost over.
“Yes, Master.”
It was a moment I had waited a long time for.
Even though no good words would come out of my teacher’s mouth, I still wanted to show him my changes and achievements in person.
I wanted confirmation that his decision to choose me as the descendant of the Heavenly Demon was not wrong.
Whick!
Using the holy sword as a brush, I began to draw a picture in the air.
Straight lines and curves create a framework one by one and gradually add flesh to it.
Whi profit!
Hwii profit!
Fully filled mana makes it possible to pack more power into each stroke.
Because it is not a power I am used to, it is still only surprising.
Whi profit!
Since the essence of Muyeongchuhongeom was simplicity, I showed the master the most basic things without any fancy techniques.
At least you won’t be scolded for being superficial.
Of course, if I were to find fault, all my movements might be seen as a fault in the eyes of the teacher.
Hwii profit!
Hwii profit!
“Stop, that’s it.”
Before my painting was completed, Master asked me to stop.
Unfortunately, I had no choice but to stop moving.
Usually, in cases like this, it is likely to be evaluated as trash.
But instead of saying anything, the master lifted his sword himself.
“Make sure you keep an eye on it.”
And then he immediately starts showing off his sword skills.
What he showed me was the same picture I had just spread out in the air.
I watched carefully according to my master’s orders.
It is difficult to miss even a single movement.
The swordsmanship shown by the master himself is the best educational material for me.
As my level has risen higher than before, the amount of data I can see has become incomparably greater.
The Tree of Wisdom, which is always in operation, gives me real-time enlightenment.
But what I was feeling right now was not the joy that comes from learning.
Indescribable shabbiness.
To create such a different feeling with the same picture, it would have been less painful to be called trash.
Of course, I know Master’s intentions well.
“Do you see the difference?”
“Yes, Master.”
Through Master’s teachings, my areas of improvement became clear.
The idea of Muyeongchuhongeom that he showed me perfectly suggested the direction and method I should follow.
“And it wasn’t bad.”
“yes?”
“That’s the fake Martial Spiritual Sword you just showed me.”
For a moment, I couldn’t react to the teacher’s words.
Because these words were actually a compliment.
It was also the first compliment I heard from my teacher.
It is truly ironic to receive the highest praise at a moment filled with shabbiness and shame.
“It’s unfortunate, but it seems like my time is up.”
The reason why Master urged me.
“After this time, does it really mean I will never see Master again?”
“I don’t know. If you make it to the top, we might meet again. But considering your trashy qualities, wouldn’t that be impossible?”
“Maybe I don’t have the qualifications, but actually, I’m not interested in topship.”
“Not sour grapes?”
“To beat the final stage of the tower and get out of here. That’s my only goal. And now I’m about to challenge the final floor of the tower.”
“You are going to take a difficult path.”
“You are a descendant of the Heavenly Demon.”
Master didn’t respond to anything I said.
He just smiled kindly at me for the first time.
Master’s body begins to become transparent little by little.
Now the moment of climbing has truly arrived.
Although we can no longer meet, Master will be watching from somewhere.
What kind of ending will I face in the final stage of this damn tower?
