Episode 154: White Horse Hill -4-
“It will hurt a little.”
He equipped his ear and sixth sense and massaged the old man’s arm.
“Khuuuuk!”
The old man makes a gasping sound.
“Wh, what are you doing!”
“Let go of the division commander!”
“You’ve already surrendered, what are you doing?”
The officers who don’t know style are talking noisily.
But the old man’s face definitely improved.
Because I had to reassemble the arm bone that was broken into dozens of pieces.
It’s still sore and painful, but it’s better than before.
I picked up a golf bag that had fallen nearby.
He took out two bottles of elixir from there and handed me one.
There is also a superior healing potion, but I was hesitant to give it to her since I was going to drink the elixir.
The old man stared at the elixir and then accepted it respectfully.
“Thank you. Silent Sword Master.”
Now you’re calling me the silent swordsman?
I ignored him and took two steps back.
He places both hands on the sword still stuck in his chest.
“Hoooo.”
After taking a long breath.
Pulled out.
In one breath, the Baekho Sword.
Phew!
Blood is rushing.
All the flesh that was regenerating and the clumps of blood that were stuck together are pulled out.
The pain of my head being hit hard.
A dizzying mind.
I almost lost consciousness.
If I hadn’t gritted my teeth beforehand and hadn’t equipped the Vajra trait, I would have definitely fainted.
“Whew, whoosh.”
Take a deep breath.
With trembling hands, he pours the elixir down his throat.
In addition to immortality, it also has all the other properties such as regeneration, revival, wound recovery, and healing.
Is that why?
The wound in my chest heals quickly.
Vaporized ribs regenerate and flesh grows back.
Thanks to this, blood spurted out like a fountain, but even that was being regenerated with fierce momentum.
I felt a chill deep in my chest, a sense of my being becoming fixed.
Faster recovery than normal.
No, it’s completely healed in one breath.
This is not a regenerative trait.
[A close call] was a characteristic.
This is something I acquired after having been on the brink of death so many times.
The old man stared at me with a tired face.
“What on earth are you? A demon from hell? A descendant of a dragon? Or a god? How could that be?”
“well.”
I gave both arms a big wave.
My whole body ached.
I used all of my regeneration traits, drank the elixir, and even applied the life-saving trait, but my whole body still hurt as if I had been hit.
That means the injuries were serious and the duel was intense.
“Heh, heh heh heh, heh heh heh.”
The old man shook his head in despair.
“I thought my father was possessed by a ghost. So that wasn’t the case… … .”
Looks like a big shock.
I understand.
A difference of as much as 2 levels.
It is an established fact that in the high-level range of level 5 or higher, not to mention level 1 vs. level 3, it is impossible to overcome even if dozens of people are attached to you.
Even if you let your guard down for a moment at the last moment, you’ll still be dizzy after losing to a kid two levels below you.
I shook off my seat and moved my feet.
“I hope you keep your promise.”
“I’m in a difficult situation. I don’t have any cash… … Right, are you interested in real estate?”
“Real estate? Real estate is good too.”
“Then I’ll hand over the building in my name. It’s a building in Gangnam, so it’ll be worth at least 100 billion won.”
Gangnam building?
That’s more beneficial than cash.
Originally, South Korea was also a real estate republic, but it’s even worse here.

As the population doubled, the value of land must also have doubled.
Especially if you’re in Gangnam, the yolk of Seoul.
“I will gratefully accept it.”
“I’ll send you a lawyer soon. Let’s discuss the details among our representatives.”
“great.”
“Go and see. I also felt something great today. I feel like I’ve finally gotten rid of the trap of a lifetime.”
An old man looking at me calmly.
The cloudy eyes are gone.
It is as if you are seeing a great monk who has attained enlightenment in an instant, as if he has mastered worldly affairs, and is just calm and composed.
But it seemed the officers would not let me go kindly.
Buck! Buck!
They surrounded me, each drawing his sword.
As I frown, the old man asks in a low voice.
“What are you guys doing?”
“Father, we can’t just let that guy go!”
“It’s the Silent Sword! The Silent Sword!”
“Are you thinking of handing over your family treasure to an outsider?”
“Even if you send it, you must retrieve the Mukho Sword!”
“Heh heh heh.”
The old man laughed as if he found it ridiculous.
“This is how my father felt.”
Months ago, he saw himself superimposed over his own descendants.
Then he opened his eyes wide and shouted.
“You filthy bastards! How many times are you going to shit on my face!”
“grandfather!”
“father!”
“I drew my sword fair and square as an unmanned man and I lost! Do you intend to make me speak in two words? Can’t you get out of the way right now?”
A situation where you are fully recovered with elixir.
Even though he wasn’t holding a sword, the Sword Master’s aura was like looking at a sword.
The officers retreated, feeling discouraged.
But the venom in his eyes was growing darker.
The old man let out a sigh.
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault, Mukho Sword Master. I feel really sorry for you. It’s all my fault for educating those guys so poorly.”
“no.”
“This is a token of my apology. Please, forget about this incident.”
The old man unbuttoned the front of his military uniform and took out his military number tag.
Then he tears off one of the dog tags and hands it to me.
What is this?
The moment my hand touched it, I felt a thrill.
Because of a man who appeared as the vision darkened and illusions unfolded.
[The silent invincible sword technique is the martial art of the ultimate hegemon.]
[Don’t be a coward.]
[Stand up straight.]
[You have to look up to the sky before you can look down on the earth.]
[Only those who are confident in themselves will achieve greatness and obtain righteousness.]
The following is a description of how to use magic power.
Description of the magic circuit.
The flow of magical power associated with movement.
A sword born from the tip of a rising black energy!
It was a silent and invincible sword technique.
When I realized the identity, my mouth automatically opened.
No, why are you giving this to me?
The officers were also swearing loudly.
“Father! What are you doing!”
“Not only is the Silent Sword not enough, but you are handing over the secrets of your family to an outsider!”
“We have to kill that guy! We’ve already made contact with the Silent Invincible Sword Technique!”
“Don’t do this! If the commander finds out, he’ll be angry!”
Officers croaking like a flock of crows.
But the old man’s face is just empty.
He just faced me and the officers with a clear expression like a Taoist.
“Mukho Sword Master. Do you know what your father’s greatest wish is?”
“I don’t know.”
“It was like crossing a thousand miles.”
“Cheonma… … .”
“My father was a swordsman and was called Sword King, Sword Saint, and Sword Lord. Some people called him Joseon Cheonma, Haedong Cheonma, and Geukdong Cheonma. However, he was not able to surpass Cheonma.”
A soft voice, as if telling a story to a grandchild.
You will find yourself naturally listening.
Me, the officers, everyone here.
“Cheonma… … was truly a heavenly being. Isn’t he the only one in the world who has reached the 9th level of the constellation? Among the strengthened soldiers, there’s Leviathan, among the magicians, there’s Merlin, among the priests, there’s Jibril, but Cheonma is truly the best in the world and on Earth. He’s a genius among geniuses. My father was also called a genius among geniuses, but before he turned thirty, he realized that he would never surpass Cheonma.”
“Aren’t you giving up too soon?”
“Hehe, does it look like that?”
The old man fixes his gaze on me.
Lightning was sparkling from his eyes, which were as clear as a lake.
“A tree that is destined to grow well is different from its cotyledon. Just like you. Aren’t you twenty-two years old this year?”
“Yes, twenty-two.”
“I’ve been a superhuman for less than a year, and I’m already level 5. And even though I’m being pushed back by my younger siblings, I’m still a true sword master. Someone like you who can beat me, you’re the only one who can challenge the Heavenly Demon. Am I wrong?”
“I was lucky earlier.”
“Luck is also a skill. Without skill, it’s impossible.”
The old man turned his head.
The sound of gunfire was faintly echoing through the air from afar.
“Your father must have seen through your talent long ago. That’s why he pushed the Silent Sword onto you with his stubbornness. I guess I’ll have to be stubborn today too. You were using a really great real sword earlier, didn’t you?”
An old man going over Mars’ gladiator techniques.
As I nodded silently, the old man smiled faintly.
“That swordsmanship was also excellent. In terms of practicality, it was superior to the silent invincible swordsmanship. However, the silent invincible swordsmanship also clearly had its advantages.”
“Still, it’s too much.”
“It’s excessive. I’m giving it to you as an apology, right? I have no desire to be hated by the future Cheonma. Hmm, but I wish you had given me a different nickname besides Cheonma.”
The old man, who had been pondering for a moment, smiled brightly.
“I think either Geomcheon or Geomsin would be good.”
“Aren’t you eating kimchi stew too early?”
“I think you’re capable enough for that. Don’t you think so?”
I couldn’t bring myself to say no.
I think the blank body and trait switching are a total scam.
“The Silent Invincible Sword Technique will be a milestone for you. The Silent Invincible Sword Technique is a martial arts book that compiles all the techniques for handling sword energy. It is truly an authentic sword technique. It compiles all the methods from sword energy to sword strength, and from sword strength to deep sword.”
I had similar thoughts.
I wish I had the highest level of swordsmanship to serve as a guide.
But I never thought I would receive the silent invincible sword technique like this… … .
I thought about it for a while, but the answer was already decided.
I put on the dog tag without any hesitation.
“I will gratefully accept your kindness. I will repay this favor when I reach level 9.”
“Hahaha. You don’t have to do that, but if you insist on paying me back, I won’t refuse.”
The officers still have sullen faces.
But the momentum has definitely been dampened.
They are full of distrust and suspicion, but they do not step forward and just watch each other.
The old man looked at them and scolded them bitterly.
“Why, do you still want to stop me? Think about it. What could be more glorious than the future Sword Heaven being the ancestor of our family? Or, are any of you planning to become Sword Heaven? If so, I will teach you the perfect silent and invincible sword technique right here and now. But is there anyone who is capable of doing that? Is there anyone who is confident that they can become a level 8 transcendental realm, or even a level 7 ultimate realm?”
No one is saying anything.
The old man looked up at the cloudy sky and lamented.
“Who else can I blame for giving birth to a lynx as a result of being a lynx? I found out too late. I found out too late.”
Then he looks at me with eyes dripping with longing.
“I guess the rumor that the old lady in the Western Army was interested is true. She has a better eye for people than my father.”
Suddenly, a light came on in his eyes.
“Mukhogeomju. Are you thinking of getting married soon? There are several good children among my granddaughters.”
“I’m sorry. I have no intention of getting married until I achieve my goal.”
“But what if we just meet? This isn’t the Joseon Dynasty, and meeting and parting lightly isn’t a flaw. Being an unmarried father or unmarried mother isn’t a flaw either.”
What a creepy sound!
You want me to be a father?
The old man was looking at me like a stallion.
It seems like the enlightenment I gained from losing to you has already evaporated.
The seemingly detached gaze disappeared and his true nature was revealed.
I quickly bowed my head before making any more unreasonable demands.
“I’m sorry. I don’t want to spend time with women. I’m going to go now.”
“What’s the hurry? Let’s have a drink before we go. There’s a top-quality brandy mixed with nectar. It’s a very old drink that even the European gods are said to have enjoyed. I think you’ll like it.”
“I’m really sorry, but I have something urgent to do. I’ll make sure to make time for you later.”
“Tsk… … I see. Even if you don’t want to be a peace officer, you can’t force it. I’ll see you later.”
He passes through the officers.
Still a hostile gaze.
I stopped for a moment as I passed by.
The lieutenant colonel who started this incident glared at me and then hurriedly averted his eyes.
Sigh.
He smiled and forcibly removed the metal object from his belt.
“Huh huh?”
Armed house.
It’s only an R-rated movie, but it’s better than nothing.
The lieutenant colonel tried to grab him, but he easily dodged.
“I’m going to move on from this, Commander Gu. Do you understand?”
He said it while waving it in front of my eyes.
The lieutenant colonel looks humiliated, but what can he do?
There’s an old man behind me, looking at me intently.
He came out whistling.
I pretended like nothing happened, but my back was drenched in sweat.
Because of the lieutenant colonel?
no.
The bookseller Gu Jeong-ju was truly a terrifying being.
If I had done it wrong, I almost got my nose pierced.
“I lived… … .”
What is marriage and what is single?
I started to shiver involuntarily.
I quickly climb onto the red cougar in case it catches up.
As I returned to the mansion, flying like the wind, a magical spirit greeted me.
[Master, are you back?]
“Okay. Ready?”
[All done. Just extract the magic circuit from the artifact you brought.]
“Let’s get started right away.”
The magic spirits do all the work.
I put the four points of the weapon into the extractor and waited quietly.
Guh. Guh.
The magic circuit comes to mind.
It is projected as a liquid boiling in a magic cauldron.
A magic circle was engraved into the liquid, and as additional nectar and magic core were added, it evaporated and a strange change occurred.
It’s light.
Or darkness.
Something that was neither gas nor liquid was shining brightly, possessing magical power.
Then compression.
It crystallizes and turns into a single jewel.
A jewel that looks like the blue star Earth set in a diamond.
The robotic arm carefully removed the jewel and the reconstruction elixir.
[Master, there is one thing you must know.]
“What is it?”
[The next level up requires a higher-level, more heterogeneous magic core than the mutant magic core.]
“Where is that?”
[In my calculations, only the other-worldly magic core satisfies the condition.]
Other world.
An alien race, also known as Yijok.
I swallowed a groan silently.
“The devil?”
[Devils are not enough. Demons are beings that belong on the other side of this world. They are less alien than mutants.]
You need an extraterrestrial magic core, not just a mutation?
This is getting more and more serious. Seriously.
If that’s the case at level 7, then what else do you need at level 8?
Even at level 6, you would need an artifact magic circuit in addition to the mutant magic core.
I don’t know.
Let’s think about the future later.
“Do I have to erase all my abilities and drink it again this time?”
[yes.]
“shit…….”
Have to endure it.
I looked at the reconstitution potion with bloodshot eyes and put it in my mouth.
A medicinal elixir that melts and is absorbed as soon as it touches the skin.
It is projected directly into the magical circuit, not the digestive system.
A blueprint that is engraved into me like a stamp.
Then heat and cold, electricity and earth trembled, causing cataclysms in my body.
“Ugh!”
It was excruciatingly painful.
It was nothing compared to having the White Tiger Sword stuck next to my heart.
A time when one must endure life without a diamond body, patience, or determination.
Fever?
It would have been better that way.
It is much better to burn the whole body with a burning sensation.
“Kwaaak!”
“Cough!”
“Khuuuk!”
I died and came back to life several times.
Quasi-death.
Quasi-resurrection.
Quasi-reincarnation.
Only after going through that process was the body reconstructed.
“under…….”
In the mirror.
I stare at myself, soaked in blood and sweat.
The hard work is over.
I even drank the special potion that I had prepared in advance.
[Yamaryong’s Elixir]
A superior magic and trait, an elixir containing hellfire.
As soon as I drank it, a bright red flame appeared.
A flame that is said to never go out.
Finally, level 6 greeted me.
