Chapter 358
358. The first person in the world (4)
In the blink of an eye, the old man called the elder of the Volcano faction was silent.
“…”
Suddenly, the eyes of the Volcano Elder were filled with amazement.
A distorted expression as if he had seen a fictional phenomenon that could not exist.
And the old man opened and closed his lips quiveringly and repeated several times before finally being able to speak.
“Come to think of it, I’ve heard of it…”
The Volcano Elder’s face, wrinkled by his old age, showed awe.
“In the old days, when there was no one to remember, it was said that the one who stood at the end of the path could handle the blade of the mind…” Only
then did the Volcano Elder calm down his raging anger and spoke with only awe.
“I can’t believe that legendary technology like the sword really exists like this…”
It was not so different from the others inside the volcanic wave.
Even the disciples of the volcano faction, which seemed to number in the hundreds, were expressing feelings of astonishment everywhere.
It’s just that the shock of that feeling of awe is so great that I can’t even utter a word like the Volcanic Wave Elder.
“How did a sage come down to a world inhabited by insignificant mortals…?”
But even so, I answered calmly.
“It’s true that he used the sword, but I don’t know if he can be called a good man.”
“I guess so. If you come, the deceased will be able to tell you why he came here…”
“Didn’t I tell you that I came to destroy the volcanic waves?”
“….”
Was the situation properly grasped then?
Before he knew it, the elder of the Volcanic Wave shook his eyes violently and let out a drool while breaking out in a cold sweat.
It was as if he had realized that the Volcano Sect would truly perish if it continued like this.
Then, the Volcano Elder stayed still for a few seconds before finally opening his mouth again.
“…Heh heh heh. Are you doing this because of the rudeness of the volcano? Then, at Bindo’s discretion, I will reward you for your rudeness—”
But I didn’t like that either.
“Why do you decide the compensation for rudeness?”
“What is that…?”
“Anyway, as long as I take the reward anyway, that’s it.”
“…”
Even if you have to ask, that’s not all.
“And what I want is to break the volcanic wave.”
That would be the case…
“So…”
And then.
“In short, there is no room for negotiation.”
next moment.
“If you understand roughly, it would be better to call the volcanic faction master.”
Just like that, I said with a smile.
“That way, you’ll have a chance to stop the volcanic wave from collapsing.”
And in a very pleasant voice.
***
Time passed quickly.
Still, like an elder of the Volcano faction, he’s quick on his feet?
In the blink of an eye, the old man, an elder of the Volcanic Sect, displayed his light air and accomplished what I said.
“…the deceased.”
It’s nothing else…
“…Hwasan Jangmun Cheongunjinin ordered the deceased to be brought to Dalyeondang. Please, you said you wanted to learn a trick.”
It was only now that he was able to see the longevity of the Volcano faction.
‘They’re still playing dirty tricks.’
But even so, it did not fill the castle.
‘Isn’t it better to just come and fight?’
It was worth it.
The Volcano faction asked to learn a few things in Dalian Hall, but they were talking about what to do…
In fact, when I said that, I could only feel that I wanted to end the situation quietly.
In fact, even though the buildings of the Volcanic Faction collapsed, it was the same as asking to see them at the Dalian Hall.
‘It would have been nice if I could just blow away the entire volcanic wave…’
But that didn’t mean the volcanic wave could collapse at once.
In fact, since I entered the trial, I was severely restricted.
A situation with the condition that the ordeal must be cleared only by focusing on martial arts.
If that’s the case, you won’t be able to use skills that are beyond the level of martial arts, such as the holy light or the undying mortal flame.
‘But this won’t be bad either.’
Not even that.
Considering what we have to get from the Volcano Wave before long, we should treat it as peacefully as possible.
That way, you will be able to freely use the various gems obtained from the volcanic wave.
After thinking about it, I nodded and replied.
“Then let’s go to Dalyeondang.”
Did he really think that I would destroy the entire volcanic wave like this?
Only then did the elder of the Volcano faction show signs of great relief.
As if I’m glad things didn’t turn out the worst as I thought.
In fact, there was a sense of relief in the Volcano Elder’s emotions, which felt like a divine sense.
“…Thank you for listening to me. old man I will not commit any more filial piety.”
Only then did the old man quickly lead me to a place called Dalyeondang.
It’s probably a building built to practice martial arts with each other…
Following the guide of the Volcano Elder, six old men and one middle-aged man caught my eye.
‘This…’
And I had no choice but to narrow my eyes.
To be honest, the six elderly people in front of me weren’t particularly threatening.
At most, it would not be an exaggeration to say that if you throw a sword, you will not feel it and die.
However, the middle-aged man’s prayers mixed among the presumed elders of the Volcano faction were familiar.
‘Isn’t that divine?’
divinity.
The source of power possessed by the gods who can interfere with concepts…
was felt in considerable amount by the middle-aged man in front of him.
‘But it’s not a very high-level divinity…’
But that was short-lived.
‘In fact, is it just a level of pseudo-goddess, not formal deities?’
After roughly estimating the divinity of the opponent in front of me, I realized that the level of divinity was not high.
It’s just that the amount of divine power is slightly large, probably because of the accumulation of divine power over a long period of time.
To put it mildly, he was at a slightly lower level than the head of the Blood Demon Religion encountered through the < Blood Ceremony > quest on the 19th floor.
And while I was staring at the middle-aged man, he opened his mouth.
“…It’s called Blue Cloud, the long sentence of the Volcano Sect.”
And I nodded my head in response.
“I am Han Seong-yoon.”
“Where are you from?”
“The Baek family.”
“It’s interesting…”
Only then did Chungwoon smile and say with empty eyes as if he couldn’t understand.
“I’ve never heard of a hermit living in Shandongbaekga, but that’s all I can say.”
Chungwoon continued with his eyes closed.
“At first, I thought Elder Hyeonheo was senile because they said that a freshman had suddenly come to the volcano.”
Before I knew it, beyond the sunken eyes of Cheongwoon, a deep wariness flowed out.
“But now that I see it, I think it was enough to say that a freshman has arrived…”
Cheongwoon asked a question with his eyes that had calmed down.
“Is coming from Shandongbaek family a kind of revenge?”
“plural?”
“exactly. The Shandong Baekga gave grace to the Huashan faction by recovering one of the rising martial arts of the main faction. However, retaliation for abandoning that grace and neglecting the events of the Black Night League…”
“I don’t really intend to do that.”
“?”
What the hell is this all about?
Suddenly, Chungwoon gave off a wavering look as if he was confused.
As if he couldn’t understand the current situation at all. Then
I continued with a tilt of my head in the same way.
“Perhaps you are misunderstanding something…”
And then.
“What has been done so far in the Volcano Faction has nothing to do with revenge.”
next moment.
“I just came purely with the intention of destroying the volcanic wave.”
Hearing this, Chungwoon gritted his teeth and said as if he was spitting out rage.
“Then I have nothing more to say.”
Suddenly, Chungwoon raised a flashy sword with eyes engulfed in anger.
“Even if you are a heavenly being who descended from the other side to the underworld, an individual cannot defeat a group like the Volcano Sect.”
“Only an individual can’t beat a group…”
“I hope you don’t build up your foolish pride. Even this is actually a courtesy towards the master. If the Seven Elders of Hwasan and I work together, you will surely die.”
“Hmm…”
Does the man in front of you know who he is talking about?
‘Even a freshman who came down from the sky wouldn’t be able to defeat the volcanic wave?’
Really…
“So I’ll give you a chance. let’s rain If I compete against Hwasan Jangmun, Chungwoon, and win, I will accept any request, whether it be Hwasan Bongmun or something…”
It was fun.
“…that’s fun.”
I spoke to him without waiting for Cheongwoon’s words to be completed.
“Then let’s have a simple competition.”
“You mean you’re going to do a military service?”
“no.”
“?”
and.
“Let’s compete with something a little more raw than that.”
“What the hell is that…”
“Didn’t you guys say that you would ask me to do something?”
“So that’s what it was…”
“Simple.”
next moment.
“The volcanic wave.”
“?”
“Let’s compete against all the remaining masters of the Volcano Sect at once.”
“What kind of crazy thing is that talking about…?”
“Still, you guys will be at a disadvantage, so let’s put one more restriction.”
“under! Do you think there is any benefit to doing such a foolish thing—”
To that, I set one more condition as if it was nothing.
“Except for the Volcano Wave sword method, I forbid the use of any martial arts.”
“under…?”
“Because it will be easy to learn the Volcanic Sect swordsmanship anyway.”
“What is that… the volcanic sword is not so easy to learn—.”
And only then did I smile and point at a certain person with my index finger.
“no.”
It’s nothing else…
“You can learn.”
Volcanic wave master.
“Isn’t there such a great teaching material right in front of you?”
It was blue luck.
***
Kwaaaaaaang-!
In the blink of an eye, the building of the Volcanic Faction Dalian Hall collapsed.
It looked like a crater was formed as if a lightning bolt had fallen to split the world.
And beyond the place where the Volcanic Wave Dalian Hall collapsed, a shout of rage imbued with magic was heard.
“How dare you———! How dare you———!”
And I immediately knew who it was.
“How dare a bugger like you discuss the volcanic sword———!!”
blue cloud.
Suddenly, the volcanic faction’s leader was crying out with his red-hot eyes glowing.
Just by swinging the sword, the building flew away at once, and just by venting anger, vibrations spread widely everywhere.
“That’s amazing…”
And I laughed as I soared in the air.
“I never thought he would react like this with the fact that he said he would learn the sword of the volcano wave.”
Was it a scratch on his pride that he offered to deal with him using only the swordsmanship of the volcanic faction?
‘…But thanks to that, I was able to see the power right away without wasting time.’
Suddenly, Cheongwoon’s splendid sword was overflowing with purple sword steel.
It also emits a very bright light.
Even beyond the purple sword steel, the feeling of rage was growing.
To the extent that the divinity in Cheongwoon’s heart shuddered greatly.
As soon as I saw it, my eyes twinkled and I ate my mouth.
He would be like that too…
‘…If I dare to rage like this, I can see more benefits.’
The more angry the blue cloud in front of me is, the more I can gain.
「Shinhwa < The Nemesis of Everything > is activated.」
「From now on, the challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of the < Nemesis >.
」 「
※Those who do not have a will cannot resist your divine power.」 「
From now on, the effect of < Chaos > will be added to Challenger Seongyoon Han’s divine operation.」
「When < Chaos > is activated The enemy’s negative emotions are extracted with faith.」
「※ The greater the enemy’s negative emotions, the higher the efficiency of faith extraction.」
It was simple.
To win against the volcanic waves and countless unmanned people beyond.
The process of achieving it is a tale (屑話), and the emotions generated in the process can be formed into faith (信仰).
If so, isn’t the meaning that can be obtained at the end decided?
「The god of transcendence and death quietly smiles, revealing greed full of anticipation.
」
Exactly…
‘That’s also a myth specialized in martial arts.’
You can get a myth that exists only for martial arts.
