Episode 1019
‘Ras.’
Raon called out to Las while keeping his gaze fixed on Akgeomhu.
‘You feel it too?’
A person’s temperament is not something that can be easily changed.
Especially, seeing that it revealed a completely different color in this short moment, it seemed clear that another being had entered Akgeomhu’s body.
-Of course.
Lars nodded immediately as if asking what he was doing.
-There is another soul in that woman’s body.
The guy tilted his chin slightly, as if to confirm.
‘Are you a demon who came down from the demon world like me?’
The dying flame of the cartoonist was rekindled because a demon lord like Las or a demon tribe could take over the body of the evil swordsman.
-No.
Las shook his head firmly as if to say that it was absolutely not true.
-It is clear that what is inside that woman’s body is a human being.
The guy twisted his mouth as he said that he was not a being from another dimension, but a human from this world.
‘A human…?’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Akgeomhu, who was smiling faintly.
‘Could this be the white blood cult leader?’
The White Blood Cultist is now occupying Mother Martha’s body.
It occurred to me that the body of the evil swordsman might have been taken over in a similar way to that sorcery.
‘No, that’s not it.’
I don’t feel any negative energy from that woman.
It is true that the eyes of the evil swordsman were shining brightly, but there was no sense of evil energy like blood or magic. Just as Ras said, he seemed like an ordinary human being.
-That’s right.
Lars nodded calmly.
-The thing inside that woman is human. Of course, it smells a little like witchcraft.
The guy had an unknown magical scent flowing out of him, but a normal person would wave his hand in agreement.
“Before I tell you who I am.”
The evil swordsman approached him with a slow, earth-dragging gait.
“Why don’t you step back for now?”
The voice was exactly the same as Akgeomhu, but the tone of voice was light and empty.
It is now certain. The body of Bridget, who is currently possessed by an evil spirit, is now inhabited by another spirit.
“Why shouldn’t we interrupt this moment of enlightenment that we’ve just barely achieved?”
Akgeomhu gestured with his hand as if calling a child, telling him to come over.
“I just blocked your way because I thought you were going to interrupt the comedy festival.”
Raon frowned without putting down the Jecheon Sword.
“Oh, well, I guess a martial artist like Geomje would never give up a chance after giving it to me. Sorry for being rude.”
Akgeomhu put both hands together in front of his chest as if he was sorry.
“… … .”
Raon bit the tip of his tongue as he watched Akgeomhu apologizing nonchalantly.
‘The person himself is light.’
Not only his speech, but his personality also seemed incomparably lighter than the original Evil Sword Master.
“You asked who I was? My name is Brianna.”
Akgeomhu smiled as he brought up the name Brianna instead of Bridget. It was an expression that the real her would never show.
“Brianna… .”
Raon lowered his eyebrows deeply as he muttered the name Brianna.
“Come this way.”
Brianna nodded to him as if to suggest that he go with her.
“Where are you going?”
Raon asked without moving his feet.
“Didn’t you have something to do with me?”
Brianna tilted her chin, wondering if she had been hoping for a proper duel.
“duel….”
Raon took a slow breath, feeling Brianna’s calm demeanor.
‘That’s strange.’
Brianna had the body and aura of a demon swordsman, but strangely enough, she emitted an aura that seemed unmatched by anyone else.
‘Are you able to bear the law of causality like me and bring the power of the main body?’
Raon turned his eyes to Las.
-That’s not it. It’s only the soul that has changed.
Las shook his head, saying that he couldn’t use such a method because he was human.
‘So you’re saying that just a change of soul can make that much of a difference?’
I wondered what it was about Brianna that made me feel such a different level of strength.
“hmm….”
Raon looked back.
“Thank you for taking care of my lord.”
“Don’t worry about this.”
“My lord, we will protect you.”

The Baek Kyung’s unmanned soldiers stood guard around her with their weapons raised, as if they would not move until the comic emperor woke up.
“I will make you believe it.”
I didn’t want to waste this opportunity since I had already owed the comic a great debt, but it seemed like her subordinates would take care of it.
“You follow me.”
Raon gestured to the Gwangpungjeon inspectors and followed Brianna.
She went around the market and shops outside the training grounds and exchanged light greetings with people. She was completely different from the taciturn Akgeom-hu.
“Master Akgeomhu, don’t you think something is strange?”
“I felt it too. I think I went crazy because I lost in the sparring match….”
Crane and Burren were in disbelief, saying that the personality of the evil swordsman was very different from what they had heard from rumors.
“People have changed….”
“Yes. There is something else besides the evil sword.”
Runaan and Martha seemed to have noticed that there was another being in Akgeomhu’s body, perhaps because of their experiences since childhood.
“Eek… .”
Dorian also felt the change in Akgeomhu through his eyes and shook his shoulders.
“Will this be okay? There’s no one here.”
Brianna shrugged as she looked around the smokehouse built on the outskirts of Varenne.
“This time, let’s fight properly….”
“Before that.”
Raon raised his hand to Brianna, who was relaxing his shoulders.
“Tell me who you are.”
“I told you my name was Brianna.”
Brianna smiled as if she needed more.
“You know I’m not asking for your name, right?”
Raon frowned at Brianna.
“If you’re curious, beat me. I’ll tell you everything.”
Brianna smiled and placed a hand on the sword at her waist.
‘Is the fighting style the same?’
Akgeomhu was a swordsman who knew how to use the sword, and it seemed like Brianna was trying to use the sword technique too.
“good.”
Raon nodded, letting out a short breath.
“It’s not that difficult.”
In fact, he was slightly injured after taking the comedian’s reckless attack on his body, but he was confident that he wouldn’t lose to Brianna.
“It’s nice and cool. You… Ahh!”
Brianna gave a cool laugh, then furrowed her eyebrows.
“Be quiet!”
She stamped her feet in the air, irritated.
“Say it in your mind? You do it! Don’t be embarrassed!”
Akgeomhu clicked his tongue roughly and came towards me.
“Sorry! Let’s get started now.”
She nodded, indicating that the duel should begin right away.
“…good night.”
Raon stopped himself from asking Brianna a question.
‘You’ll know when you fight and win.’
I had a vague idea in mind, but it didn’t matter right now anyway. What mattered was winning this duel.
“Are you going?”
Brianna jumped lightly in place as if she was jumping rope, then disappeared like smoke.
Phew!
The place where she reappeared was to her right.
Chiaaaaaaang!
Brianna leaped through space in an instant, extending her sword with exhilaration.
The moment he noticed, her sword was already at his neck.
Oh my god!
Raon blocked Brianna’s sword strike aimed at his neck by simply turning the angle of the Jecheon Sword he was holding.
‘Ugh.’
Wasn’t it all about speed?
Although I defended myself, I was too late in blocking the blow, and the impact felt like it was shattering the bones in my wrist and arm.
‘Fast isn’t everything.’
Brianna used the same swordsmanship and techniques as Akgeom-hu, but the power was worlds apart. It seemed like the martial arts itself had changed.
“It’s difficult to be surprised at this level.”
Brianna smiled and waved her hand as if it was just the beginning.
“I know.”
Raon stabbed Brianna with the Red Sword Thirty-Six Swords at her as she stopped.
Choaaaah!
Thirty-six blasts of flame shot out as if to tear the earth apart, but Brianna had already left the area.
“You’re strong! Then I’ll go again!”
The moment Brianna smiled and swung her sword, she felt a cool sensation behind her back.
Oh my god!
Without even having time to turn around, Raon moved his Jecheon Sword first and struck back at the black light that was piercing his shoulder.
‘It’s a sharp sword strike.’
Brianna’s sword strikes, even when properly defended, pierce flesh and muscle and shatter bones. It was a sword technique with tremendous penetrative power.
“If I don’t block it properly, I’ll get a bone disease?”
Brianna waved her sword slightly, telling him to focus on defense.
“You’ve become more talkative.”
Raon frowned and drew the shape of a red dragon over the sword of the Heavenly Sword.
Kuwaaaaaah!
Manhwagong Cheonhwa Yeomryonggyeol. A red dragon wrapped in flames, burning everything in front of him.
Phew.
Brianna burst out from the left, cutting through the gray smoke and heat. She seemed to have used her extreme technique to escape the range of the Flame Dragon’s Curse.
Cheeeeek!
She plunged her sword into her heart, trampling the flames burning on the floor.
“The power is crazy.”
Brianna exclaimed in admiration, but her eyes did not look fearful of her own sword.
Kyaaaaah!
Raon let out a low groan as he parried Brianna’s sword strike that dug into his feet like a thorn.
‘It’s clearly the same swordsmanship, but the difference is this big.’
Brianna was using her swordsmanship and martial arts with her evil body, and it was making such a huge difference that it was almost like a dream.
‘From now on, I’ll have to think of you as a completely different being and deal with you.’
Raon blocked Brianna’s attacks by continuously unleashing the Great Sword of the Sea and the Great Sword of the Heavens, and blocked her space to move.
“Is it fun?”
But Brianna easily fended off her attacks and counterattacked sharply in return. It was like a cornered mouse biting a cat.
“Hmm….”
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he deflected Brianna’s stab by a sheet of paper.
“Keep going.”
Brianna fired a series of exhilarating jabs at herself, who was frowning.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!
Raon used the prayer beads to block the sword’s thrusts, but the flame shield did not last long and shattered like a spider web.
His own aura couldn’t withstand the sharpness of Brianna’s aura.
“I get it now.”
Brianna nodded as if she could see him.
“Since you ascended to Transcendence, have you only used powerful swordsmanship?”
She licked her lips and thrust her sword faster and sharper.
“that is….”
Raon bit his lip as he parried Brianna’s thrusts.
“What does that mean?”
“You can’t read the numbers because you only fight against opponents who are much stronger than you or weaker than you?”
Brianna twisted her lips into a grin, saying that fighting was too comfortable.
Oh my god!
Raon gritted his teeth as he struggled to block Brianna’s sword thrusts that were digging into his skin.
‘Come to think of it….’
That’s not entirely wrong.
Most of the recent battles have involved either overwhelming force, such as when breaking through a siege, or taking a gamble with great skill to capture a position that is too strong, such as Heuktapju or Tacheon.
The battles were almost all one-sided, except for the last one where he regained consciousness.
“Am I right?”
Brianna nodded, as if she knew that would happen.
“How did you know that?”
“There is something that is etched into your sword. The conviction that ‘I am strong.’”
She snickered with a serious expression on her face as if she found it funny.
“I’ll break that confidence today.”
Brianna disappeared before he could hear the words, then popped out in front of his eyes.
Oh my god!
She was aiming for her own abdomen. She quickly lowered her Jecheon Sword to defend herself, but because her timing was too late, a tingling pain occurred in her hand and shoulder.
“Ugh… .”
Raon took a short breath.
‘I have refined my swords to the limit: Jeonggeom, Kwaigeom, Yegeom, and Gwangeom.’
Not to mention the law.
Brianna was superior to him in the four swordsmanship skills she had mastered, and her martial arts were also superior.
However, that alone could not explain the current level of powerlessness.
‘What am I missing?’
Raon frowned as he clashed his sword with Brianna’s sword that was stabbing him eerily.
‘Even though the body is the same, is it possible to create this kind of result just by changing the soul?’
I was confused because I didn’t understand, so the sword seemed to shake even more.
“What do you think swordsmanship is?”
Brianna asked, her sword facing her.
“Swordsmanship is simply the art of using the sword.”
“That’s a response worthy of a transcendent being who has realized the sword.”
Brianna nodded, saying that was correct.
“Even with the same swordsmanship, some people can’t cut a tree branch, while others can split the sky. However….”
She pointed to herself and lifted her chin.
“I think fencing is like chess.”
“chess?”
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he knocked away Brianna’s sword that was coming straight down.
“Yes. A duel between swordsmen is like a siege. The opponent’s swordsmanship is like a wall and a gate. We have to think about how to break down and penetrate that wall.”
Brianna shook her head, her lips twisting.
“But it seems like your walls have already been breached.”
With that cool voice, Brianna’s sword passed through Raon’s right waist.
***
“ha.”
Brianna took a deep breath as she watched Raon, who didn’t even care about the wound on his back.
‘Is this the inspection that is reaching perfection?’
Physically, mentally, in swordsmanship, and in attitude. Raon was a swordsman who walked towards perfection more than anyone he had ever seen.
If it continued to grow at this rate, it would be a huge vessel that would become the pinnacle of the continent.
‘But I won’t lose in a sword duel.’
He had trained the Wijigeom and Baekseonbo millions, no, tens of millions of times in a world of imagination where only a faint light existed.
The secrets of martial arts contained in Wijigeom and Baekseonbo went beyond embodiment and became one with one’s soul.
Especially, he was confident that he would never lose in a swordsmanship duel, as he had an endless duel with Bridget, who brought in external swordsmanship from the world of imagination where time did not exist.
Phew!
Brianna broke through Raon’s defenses, wounded him in the thigh, and then licked his lips.
‘What a pity.’
A variety of swordsmanship skills, a perfect body, and an aura that seemed endless. Although the best ingredients were gathered, Raon was still unable to make a proper dish.
‘I understand why.’
Raon would not have tried to subdue his opponents with just strength and strong martial arts from the beginning.
Having experienced so many fights and changed so much, it won’t be easy to fix it now.
‘Should we just end it?’
Since Bridget had asked me to only break her, not kill her, I thought it would be best to finish her off before she was caught in a surprise attack.
Phew!
Brianna smacked her lips as she watched Raon deliver a heavy blow.
‘A siege war begins with withstanding the enemy’s attacks.’
He gently took Raon’s sword strike, which was full of heavy power, by turning his sword diagonally.
‘Now it’s time to break down the enemy’s gate.’
He caught up with Raon, who took a step back after failing to attack, and stabbed him with his sword.
Paaaaang!
Raon raised his shield and spear of flame, but his sword penetrated the split second and pierced his aura.
Woohoo!
Raon, as befitting a transcendent being, roughly raised the Jecheon Sword burning with golden flames to block his attack.
‘I was reading this too.’
Brianna took advantage of Raon’s fierce sword strike and stabbed him in the neck with her sword.
‘Now it is time to cut off the king’s head.’
When I thought it was all over and was about to stop the sword in front of Raon’s neck,
Wooooow!
Raon’s sword, which had been unable to catch his swordsmanship until now, was broken by an unnatural force.
Oh my god!
With his perfect defensive swordsmanship without a single inch of error, he blocked Wei Zhi Jian’s attack and struck back with his own sword.
Cheeeeeeek!
For the first time, Brianna was pushed back by Raon’s sword, not against her own will.
On the floor of the training ground, there were deep footprints engraved, just like the evil swordsman who had not been able to release all his strength.
“under?”
Akgeom-hu swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the footprints on the steaming floor.
“Sword fighting is a battle of wits? Yes, that’s right. That’s how it was.”
Raon’s eyes sparkled with interest.
“Thank you for waking me up again.”
