Kim Jeon Sa, Building Traits Episode 252
Transcend –2-
Why are the hero traits here?
Hero traits are traits that strengthen you when fighting high-level enemies.
If you fight the River Goddess again, you will meet the conditions, but you should not be able to use it because you haven’t awakened it yet.
The goddess said something I could never have imagined as she looked at me in puzzlement.
[Your teacher left something good behind.]
“Yes? Oh, yes. I am always grateful, too.”
[That’s right. It’s like handing over the entirety of your life and experiences.]
The goddess stares intently at my lower abdomen.
[I can use that.]
“You’re writing it?”
[Yes, Black Star. You have been to that barren land of permafrost, haven’t you? You brought this ship from there, too.]
“yes.”
I still remember it.
Bigrid Plains.
In the endless battlefield of memories that was played there, he achieved victory and brought back Skidbladnir, the predecessor of the Sky River.
[It’s similar to that. You magically reinterpret and regenerate the power your master left behind, and experience the life and experiences of your master.]
“Is that possible?”
[Easy. It’s a trick.]
This is the memory experience of the legion commander.
Not bad.
While awakening hero traits, you can also create your own unique traits.
It has unique characteristics… … .
What on earth will be my unique trait?
I know better than anyone else what I have lived for and what I have been running for.
Just survive.
This is how they struggled to survive.
But I have too many and too many traits to think that I’ll create survival-related traits.
The goddess reached out to me.
[Don’t rush.]
Hands reach out to me.
[At level 8, anyone can only create a small seed. It doesn’t matter if it’s a supreme deity that rules this world or a small deity that takes a river as its foundation.]
Divine power surges forth like waves.
[Looking back at yourself, establishing your world, and building the pillars that support you. It won’t be possible in one day. Think of it as laying the cornerstone, or rather the foundation. It would be good if you realized your fundamentals, but it doesn’t have to be. Just feel. Your teacher’s life, how your teacher dealt with the world, how he transcended humanity. If I may give you just one piece of advice… … .]
The world turns blue.
As if I had fallen into the river.
[Consider deeply the abilities the World Tree has given you.]
Pfft!
The world is moving away.
The goddess, the Sky River private room, and even the divine power that surrounded me ran away far away.
It changes like a dot and the world turns upside down.
What arrived was a completely different world.
“Coolook!”
It made me vomit blood violently.
“Ugh, you traitor!”
The mouth moves involuntarily.
Inspection?
My vision shifted without giving me time to doubt myself.
Blood was covering his eyes, but he roughly wiped it away with his left arm.
Naturally, a man caught my eye.
A fedora with a suit.
He holds a Japanese sword in his right hand.
It’s a knife I know.
Yodo Masamune.
When I got there I could tell who it was.
A character that exists only in the settings, without a single illustration.
Inspection.
The father of the slaughtering empress and a traitor.
“It’s getting boring, shouldn’t I just give in?”
The swordsman spun Masamune around and said.
Then the huge thing lying next to me started to scream.
“Eat your potatoes, you traitor!”
“Huh. That monster is getting angry.”
“I am human!”
“Look in the mirror and talk, you monster bear.”
“My name is Yoo Hyeon-cheong!”
“Shit.”

I looked to the side and let out a sigh.
Appearance resembling a bear.
A magnificent horn on a steel shell like armor.
It was the giant bear who was the village chief of the monster village and now the captain of the Sky River.
He was crying at me with a face that was much smaller and younger than the one I was used to.
“Old brother! Run away!”
“How could I run away and leave Comrade Yu behind!”
“You idiot! Then if you live, it’s your brother who should live. What am I going to do with my life? Run away while I catch that traitorous bastard! Quickly! Hehehehe!”
The giant bear roars and rushes at the swordsman.
As expected of a mutant, the momentum is tremendous.
But the inspector just coldly laughs.
“joy.”
A cold, flashing sword light.
A sword that blooms like a crescent moon.
No matter how big the bear was, it was powerless in front of Geomgang.
“Kwaaak!”
Blood bursts out with a scream.
In the midst of all this, the giant bear held on.
“Run away! Please run away!”
A bear howling desperately.
The scream flew into my chest like a knife and pierced it.
I gritted my teeth and glared at the bear, the swordsman.
Anger and resentment were seething like blood.
Should I run away?
Should I step back and plan for the future?
What about the giant bear?
Yoo Hyun-cheong. What about the comrade who has a monster-like appearance but a warmer heart than anyone else?
My head is hot.
My heart, boiling like lava, is forcing me to do only one thing.
I know it in my head.
That there is no chance of winning.
Even though we are both level 7, the sword master is clearly two levels above me.
Moreover, before fighting the Sword Master, didn’t you have a wheel battle with the Sword Master’s disciples and lose a lot of your magical power?
It is right to run away.
It is wise to plan for the aftermath.
But, but.
The howling bear and the fighting spirit of the fighter who was desperately trying to save me were piercing my heart.
So I took up the sword.
I have firmly established my will.
“Comrade Yu. Didn’t we make a pact?”
He spoke in a calm voice.
“Let us live together and enjoy glory. Let us die and become ghosts of Korea together.”
“You idiot! Run away!”
“That can’t be. I don’t know how to run away and leave my comrades behind.”
“You idiot! Do you think you’re some kind of hero?”
“He may not be a hero, but he is a man of integrity.”
Strengthen your stomach and brain.
“In the future, I won’t be able to tell my son, Jeongju, that I ran away and abandoned my friend.”
“That idiot… … .”
“We will be together whether we live or die.”
Kick the ground.
Fly the body.
It hits the inspection like a runaway train.
“Ha ha ha!”
The swordsman bursts into long laughter.
“I will establish a grand palace today!”
The sword of the sword is definitely sharp.
It’s overwhelming me.
Even if I stretch out my sword, I can’t reach it.
As the sharp sword light flashes, the wounds appear one by one.
“Ugh!”
Fortunately, the giant bear flew away at every critical moment, so his head wasn’t blown off.
My eyes sparkled.
‘This can’t go on.’
But this is just my opinion.
The commander at that time was shouting even more passionately.
‘more!’
strongly.
‘more!’
fast.
‘more!’
Spicy.
Transcendent will brings miracles.
The pillars of the spirit that stood firm were forcing change into the world.
Crunch!
One strand of magic circuit per wound.
Swish!
One stroke of the knife extends the circuit.
An incredibly complex, spiderweb-like magical circuit was slowly revealing itself.
No, it’s on a different level.
It rather reminds me of a three-dimensional magic circle.
A great magic that is led by a great wizard and completed by dozens of wizards joining forces.
“What are you doing!”
The swordsman also detects something strange.
The gums grow like thorns.
He also grabbed Masamune and hid him behind his body.
The preparation posture for the destruction of heaven and earth, which was also the ultimate skill of the Empress of Massacre.
“Ugh! No!”
“This damn monster!”
A giant bear immediately rushed in and stopped him.
The swordsman roars and counterattacks.
As a result, the giant bear’s arm fell off, but the destruction of heaven and earth was still averted.
And then I jumped in without even breathing.
“This guy!”
A swordsman who splits heads while shouting.
The pupils are visible.
I see myself, no, the commander, reflected in his dark brown pupils.
The atmosphere is strange.
The eyes are like glass beads, sparkling and white vapor rising in unrefined clumps.
A common phenomenon seen when a superhuman awakens.
This is what happens when uncontaminated moisture meets magic and evaporates.
But a level 7 superhuman awakens?
A level 7 ultimate superhuman who is neither level 0 to level 1, nor level 1 to level 2, but has perfect control over his own magic, blood, and bodily fluids?
‘This is it.’
Time seems to pass slowly.
The sword strike that used to flash like lightning is now approaching slowly.
But I was neither intoxicated nor triumphant.
It was just hot.
He swings his sword with fierce passion.
“Die, traitor!”
Swords clash with swords.
It’s not one-sided anymore.
As the wounds are carved into me, the body of the traitorous inspector is also filled with wounds.
Rather, it is being pushed forward little by little.
The black one is definitely superior in terms of swordsmanship.
In terms of skill, it is clear that Geomje has the upper hand.
The fierce energy that burned my body, the newly engraved magical circuits, gave me more strength.
“This, this is ridiculous!”
The swordsman cried.
“This is the Demon King’s trick!”
“No way. This is the will of heaven.”
I said coldly.
“Die. Traitor. All the people of this land are wishing for your death.”
The knife is stuck.
On the chest of the swordsman.
Piercing the heart.
Penetrating the torso and protruding out the back.
The swordsman’s face shook.
“This is a dream… … .”
“It’s a clear reality. Just go away.”
I drew my sword and struck the sword master’s neck.
A head that rolls around.
When I see that, all kinds of emotions come rushing in.
Refreshing, ecstatic, a sense of accomplishment, etc.
Of course, that’s not how I feel.
That was what the commander, the master of memory, felt.
“You did it! You did it!”
A one-armed bear that runs wild.
The world fades away with him.
When my vision darkened and then brightened, I witnessed a familiar scene.
“It’s getting boring, shouldn’t I just give in?”
A swordsman who asks while turning around Yodo Masamune.
Again, we return to the beginning of this memory.
“Eat your potatoes, you traitor!”
Recurring memories.
The second moment of birth of a hero trait you experience.
It was hot.
The commander’s emotions were so hot that just being with him made my heart burn.
but…….
I asked myself a question.
‘Goddess, what does this mean?’
Are you asking me to accept the life of a legion commander?
That was impossible.
I can understand the thoughts and emotions of the commander by feeling them firsthand.
Because the commander and I were completely opposite people.
The reason why the Legion Commander manifested the hero trait.
It’s simple.
Because I lived altruistically.
He charged forward, prepared to die, and eventually defeated his formidable enemy.
For your colleagues.
For the socially despised, monstrous-looking giant bear.
The process and the result were the characteristics of a hero.
On the other hand, what about me?
I too have overcome adversity and killed powerful enemies many times.
For what?
For me.
I fought to survive, I fought to protect what was mine.
Someone else?
It wasn’t even on my radar.
This is where the crucial difference comes in.
No matter what I do, I can’t create a hero trait.
You can use the hero traits given by the legion commander.
“You did it! You did it!”
“You did it! You did it… … .”
“I did it… … .”
A short life repeats itself infinitely.
The commander’s will becomes blurred.
Instead, my will awakens and I am able to move my body as I wish.
[Hero][Silent Invincible Sword Technique][Silent Invincible Heart Technique]
[Master of the Sword][Merchant of Virtue][Runaway Locomotive]
I died several times.
There were several times when the two died together.
I managed to kill the inspector several times.
Each time, the hero trait gave me strength, but I did not realize the goddess’ intention.
‘What could it be?’
What do I have to gain from this?
Oddly enough, only my swordsmanship skills are improving.
I used to rely only on characteristics.
By fighting hundreds and thousands of actual battles with sword masters, he was able to acquire the skills to be called a master of the sword and a master of the sword, even without any special traits.
Because we fought so much, we were able to overwhelm the inspector while thinking about something else.
‘I told you to reflect.’
I chewed over the words the goddess left behind.
‘Look at the life of the commander, feel his way, and reflect on the characteristics of the world.’
There is one thing I realized.
I can’t live like a legion commander.
Many people in this world idolize and idolize me, but I am a selfish person to the core.
In my life, I am the most important thing.
Yeah, it did help people.
The company did treat its employees well.
Even during redevelopment, they treated the residents well.
Actually, it was because there was something special to eat.
Or maybe there was another intention.
That doesn’t prove my altruism though.
It was just that I was exploited like those people in the original world.
I’m selfish, but I have empathy.
He is the epitome of an ordinary person.
Could that be me?
A completely different type of person from the heroic Legion Commander.
‘I am different from the commander.’
A small realization.
So what kind of will should I impose on the world?
What kind of subjectivity should we establish and what kind of meaning should we pursue?
‘… … I want to become stronger.’
A thought that suddenly pops into my head.
Yeah. I want to become stronger.
Both to survive and to have more.
More than now.
Beyond the ultimate, into transcendence.
Even transcending, transcending into the constellations.
I want to climb up to a high place like the stars in the sky and look down on the world.
“Getting stronger… … .”
I felt it intuitively.
That this alone is not enough.
It’s too vague.
A concrete method is needed.
At that moment, my eyes lit up.
‘characteristic.’
My everything.
That was my beginning and what brought me here.
‘Characteristics are the answer.’
Imagine.
A castle made by stacking large stones one after another.
It’s like that.
It’s about collecting and assembling stones called characteristics.
It’s like building a wall to create a higher trait, and then building another higher trait to create a top trait.
And so it becomes stronger.
I am.
By accumulating traits.
A warrior who truly builds up traits.
Flash!
Lightning struck.
A white flash passes by, turning my mind white.
Lightning is striking the world too.
This spiritual world.
A spark of light, which could be called the lightning of enlightenment, flashed across.
The nature of the world changed in that flame.
A world characteristic that sprouts slightly, very slightly.
I don’t know what the characteristics are yet.
It is impossible to fully enjoy its effects.
Anyway, it was a trait I created.
It was the seed and starting point of my divinity.
Phew!
The world is coming.
This is not the world of the commander’s memories.
It’s a private room in the Sky River that I’m familiar with, and that I’ve been in a few months ago.
[Congratulations.]
The goddess of the river greeted me with a swaying voice.
A strange sight appeared.
The transparent magic cauldron that should still be spinning fiercely.
It should have been filled with power beyond magic, but it was empty.
[Becoming a transcendent being.]
