Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

much

She seemed somehow in a good mood.

Consistently since the last conversation with Rajin.

– I used to be confident, but after meeting Rajin, I suddenly don’t know. You know….

“As expected, it was a good thing I met Rajin. “This kind of luck again… hmm?”

Karen soon arrived in front of the large door.

“The smell of blood… it’s terrible.”

The door with the comb pattern engraved on it remained firmly in place.

A door whose mouth is closed so tightly that it looks like it will never open.

Sigh…

“It’s cheap to do something like this.”

Huuuu…

Once again, tremendous heat gathered in Karen’s hands.

Cheeeeeee…

When her hand touched the door, something strange happened.

The door that had been closed tightly was now in its place, with a wide gap already in place.

Kick…

A sneer was heard from behind her.

“You have more sense than the idiot who came before you.”

Jin’s voice and a human’s voice came out at the same time.

To be exact, Jinn ate humans.

“Ha… why does something always happen and appear? Are you being punished for being late often? “If you had sent me first, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“You seem pretty confident. “If you had come first, this body would have been satisfied without complaint.”

Bishin saw that Karen was not affected by the craze of corruption and realized that her opponent’s skills were much stronger than Lujie’s who came before her.

“The rain god is a rotting rain god.”

“Your name? I’m Karen. “You are the Jinn that was sealed here, right?”

“It was like that a little while ago.”

“Um… can you please go through that door again?”

“Are there any other options?”

“I told them to come back if they were behind the door, but they also told me to do something if the door was open.”

“Those are Rajin’s words. “What do you think?”

“I plan to do something. “Even though I’m like this, I tend to listen well.”

Tsk tsk…

Bishin laughed in Rujie’s body.

“I see… Rajin sent another idiot.”

“You seem quite close to Rajin? Can’t we just stop doing bad things? “It’s good to get along well.”

“You smell similar to Razin.”

“What what?”

Karen was startled, raised her arms and sniffed.

“I washed it, what happened?”

“… A hypocritical and arrogant person.”

“… You know it right away just by smelling it? “Gakone?”

Karen peeked open the door and frowned. It was filled with the corpses of the members of the council who had visited this place. It was full of traces of the animal taking a bite.

“It won’t work if you pick up anything.”

“Are you a colleague?”

“No, it’s the enemy.”

“You’re a hypocrite after all.”

“… Did you kill them all?”

Bishin did not answer.

Clap…

Karen put one hand on the sword.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-

_

“I can’t help it.”

“You’re making a fuss about a mere piece of meat.”

Any further conversation was meaningless.

Bishin opened one hand wide and pointed it at Karen.

“Rotten.”

[Let the rain god rot! Use.]

[Rotten! replaces the basic attack. All of the target’s attacks and abilities take on the trait of corruption.]

[Corruption stacks up to 100, and deals great damage once when the maximum stack is reached.]

Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Without warning, a corrupting energy rushed into Karen.

Pot-!

Karen tried to shake off the rain god’s energy by making a large circle.

“no use. “It’s only delayed, it’s inevitable.”

“Hmm….”

Whirrick-!

Pollution follows persistently.

Karen increased her speed.

[Karen uses a goblin walk.]

[Movement speed explodes, and damage taken from collisions in front is greatly reduced.]

[A remnant of fire remains in the movement path.]

Paaaaaaaa!

Cheeeee…

Bishin stretched out one arm more.

Hwaaaaa-!

Another ray of corruption spread out and engulfed the son-in-law.

Karen increased her speed and escaped from the two streams of pollution.

Bishin realized that Karen was spinning around him and left some energy to spare.

Paaaang-!

As expected, Karen took advantage of the gap where Rain God’s vision was obscured by pollution and came in, swinging her flaming sword.

[The rain god uses fungus.]

[It injects fungus into the target it hits, and it does not disappear easily.] [

Even if it is removed, it will grow again when exposed to the caster’s attacks.]

[The fungus accelerates the stacking of corruption.]

Whoa…

Whoa whoa!

Karen knocked Bisin away with a front kick, but he blocked most of the impact by crossing his arms.

Pusssss…

“… Tsk.”

A dark mold had formed on Karen’s gaiters.

Grumbling!

She wrapped flames around her body and blew away the fungus. However, the fungus was not completely removed and spread throughout her armor.

Patter…

Bishin, who had been pinned against the wall, shook himself off and got up. On the outside, there seemed to be no damage.

“I am Jin.”

“so?”

“As long as nothing special happens, you can live forever.”

“also?”

“You are a mayfly.”

“Where is this big mayfly? “I’m a fairy.”

“It doesn’t mean much. “It’s the same as a being that will decay and die anyway.”

“Even fairies live long… Don’t ignore them too much. Um… it’s more special than that…”

Karen grinned.

“We want to make something special just for us.”

[Karen uses Incomplete Combustion.]

[Armor made of flame is added to the armament depending on the amount of activity.]

Her Incomplete Combustion was originally a power that could only be used in the raven state. However, as she reached the highest level, these limitations disappeared.

Grumbling!

A helmet formed of flame was added to Karen’s armament.

Clap…

Karen, whose head was enlarged, laughed.

“Look at this, isn’t your head big? “Isn’t it funny?”

“… You’re out of your mind. Are you serious about giving it a try?”

“Do you think I’m going to lose?”

“Mortal strength and eternal strength are two different things. “How do you think it’s the same?”

Kick…

Karen’s appearance disappeared, leaving behind a haze.

When Bishin realized that he had missed her traces, he was startled and stretched out his hands in the direction where he felt her presence.

Paaaaang-!

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee of…

It’s a situation where I’m confused as to whether it’s burning or rotting.

Bishin held on to Karen’s sword.

“What… movement…”

Her sword became faster than before.

Karen’s face was hidden under the helmet, but her eyes were clearly conveyed.

Her eyes, as transparent as glass, caught fire.

Bishin, feeling cold, raised the power of his entire body and polluted Karen.

“Corrupt! “Life!”

[The God of Rain uses Aging.]

[Aging can only be used on nearby targets.]

[Maximizes corruption stacks while in contact.]

[Corroses objects in contact.]

Cheeeeeee…

This should never happen. Something happened.

The sword body of the sword that was created through the efforts of Xiamen and Kangseol was rotting away and disappearing.

If the sword body rotted and broke, everything was over. A knight who lost his sword would not be able to win against Bisin.

Bishin, who knew this well, smiled and strengthened the hand holding the sword.

“As expected, I won. “Mayfly.”

* * *

This is the story of Karen wandering around with her ankles submerged in the supreme lake.

She stayed in nothingness and agonized over how to advance to the true state.

He did not seek help from Jamard, who reached the supreme state first on his own will, or from Ur, who would pass by even the supreme state without much inspiration.

This is her own fight.

Furthermore, it was a matter that she had to experience directly in order to share enlightenment with her brother Karuna.

She fell into meditation all the time. Moving the body was a matter of later. Now was the time to sort out my enlightenment.

Karen was neither a shaman nor a wizard, so she couldn’t help but think of knights who were stronger than her.

‘… Lane.’

Knight of the Sun, Lane.

She tried to recall his teachings for long periods of time, except during her sleep.

A pretty difficult time has passed.

The supreme state that I should have reached a long time ago felt so far away. What was seen in Yasha’s Sword: Rain’s teachings.

The two were not clearly connected.

The more I tried, the more I struggled to remember the past, but because it was so long ago, I couldn’t recall all of Lane’s teachings.

It was frustrating and painful.

Does Rain not appear anymore?

Did something like escape from his shadow happen?

‘No, there is no choice.’

Rain was, so to speak, the biggest tree in the world. There was no way I could easily get out of the shade under that tree.

As I got used to thinking about his teachings even when I was sleeping, I eventually started thinking about his teachings even when I was sleeping.

Lane he appeared in my dream.

“Karen.”

“Seup… ah?”

thud-!

“Ugh! head! “Am I bleeding?”

“I didn’t hit you that hard.”

Karen stood up, stroking her head.

“The sun is high in the sky, are you still taking a nap, damn kid?”

“How did you know you were here….”

“You skipped the noon training.”

“It was so hard… I was just trying to get some rest!”

Sigh…

Lane’s hand traced Karen’s forehead.

Suddenly…

open your eyes and check your pupils.

Tsueook…

Open your mouth and check the condition of your tongue and ulna.

“You’re fine. Since I skipped the noon training, I have to train until the evening. come out.”

“Hey… haha… okay, Lane.”

Karen has no choice but to trudge to the training ground.

“under!”

“under!”

Even though it was late afternoon, the gymnasium was bustling with activity. Everyone was very sincere about becoming stronger.

“Your seat is here. “I’ll take care of it for you, so start with the first meal.”

“Yesterday I went out to 5 meals….”

“Starting from 1 meal.”

“Huh…”

It wasn’t that uncommon for Lane to directly attend training, but he usually didn’t have enough time for official knights.

It was to the point where people were complaining that they were pouring too much affection on Karen and Karuna, especially since they were not official knights.

Today, too, Lane was directly involved in Karen’s training, as if he were Karen’s father.

“Go away… everyone is looking at you.”

“You idiot, you’re looking at me when I grow up.”

“I’m not an idiot, I’m Karen.”

“Start stupid Karen.”

“Mr. Lee….”

Wow!

Faaaaaaaaaaa!

This man is clearly a ghost from the East.

It is said that the ghosts of the East always appear at the right moment and torment humans.

“How do you know that I missed training….”

“Give strength to your wrists! “If you swing it like that, your joints will be ruined!”

“Yes….”

“The answer is concise!”

“yes.”

“Be strong!”

“yes!”

Faaaaaaaaaaa!

Faaaaaaaaaaa!

I have now become quite proficient in the first form of Montra swordsmanship. Although I didn’t want to admit it, it was thanks to Lane’s teachings.

Still, it’s still hard.

‘It looks like it’s going to rain…’

Rumbling…

The sky looked suspicious from earlier.

The atmosphere felt like it was going to rain at any moment. The indoor training facility was under construction and only the outdoor training facility was available, so the heavy rain was a good excuse to stop training.

Tap…

tap…

‘It’s here! Rain!’

The knights who felt the raindrops looked up at the sky and said.

“Shower-kun. “Go in, training is over.”

“Oil the seeds! “If you do it wrong, your armor will rust.”

Just as Karen was about to put down her sword and go in, Lane asked.

“What are you doing?”

“huh? “It’s raining, right?”

“What does that have to do with you Karen?”

“… If it rains, you have to stop training, right?”

“Who said that?”

“That’s right… everyone said that…”

Lane bent his knees and was at eye level with Karen.

“Because you are not a formal knight, you do not have personal armor, so you will not rust. In addition, I skipped the noon training and took a break.”

“Training in the rain?”

“Are you not planning on fighting on a rainy day? “You’re so picky!”

“What a fight there is on a rainy day!”

He looked at Karen with eyes that seemed to know something.

“many. There are so many. You have to fight on any day, whether it’s raining or snowing. “The other person doesn’t pay attention to your various circumstances.”

Sigh…

Lane stood up and said.

“If you understand, raise your sword and take a stand.”

Resistance soared.

“Ugh… I hate it!”

“Raise your sword.”

“I hate it! I don’t know! I’m going!”

Pak-!

Karen, who struck the sword, turned her back to leave, but Lane spoke behind her.

“Karen I will be here.”

“….”

“I’ll wait here until you come.”

When Karen glanced back, Lane showed an expressionless expression.

“I will finish the remaining training.”

“I really hate Lane… I really hate it.”

Shoot…

Karen runs away, leaving Lane behind at the training ground.

Since my clothes were wet from the rain, the first thing I did was wash myself with hot water. Lane forgot the moment he soaked himself in hot water. Isn’t a child’s strength of quick forgetting?

Then I got under the blanket and laid down the pillow.
