<Episode 107: Opening of the Sun (2)>
-Pachichik!
The crimson lightning connects to the hundred or so swords like tree roots, and the events of the fuse come to mind.
[I have finally realized the sixth of the Seven Stars and Seven Moons, Gaeyang.]
[It's all thanks to you, Master.]
[How could your excellence be due to frequency?]
[You are too kind.]
The teacher was satisfied with me like this.
While I was at the fuse, neither I nor the Master could have predicted that the sixth of the Big Dipper, Gaeyang, would be opened.
The sixth, Gaeyang, was a power on a completely different level than before.
Although not long, it has the ability to receive help from all swords in the vicinity.
[Bin-do calls this the ten thousand swords principle of mind.]
It was indeed a fitting remark.
For countless swords touch my heart.
The Master said that he combined the powers of this Gaeyang and Noebyeokcheondun to defeat the evil dragon that was causing harm to the world long ago.
'The power to harm even the supernatural beings, the dragons.'
I intend to exert such power against the Golden Emperor, a being of half immortality.
The Master told him not to use this power on the humans of this world, but he has gone beyond that limit and entered the realm of the monster.
You deserve this more than anything.
“You bastard!”
The bastard shouted at me in a voice full of anger.
Looking at the shaking golden eyes, it seemed that he realized that this was difficult to handle.
But I have no intention of letting it go.
'The 5th form of the Thunderbolt Sky Strike is the Heavenly Sword Lightning Strike.'
I extended my sword towards the bastard.
At that moment, over a hundred swords, connected by crimson lightning like tree roots, all rushed towards Geumsangje like lightning.
-Shushushushushush! Pachichichichik!
The rushing crimson lightning was truly a spectacular sight.
Everyone who watched this scene was left speechless.
-Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!
The ground collapsed and fell even further downwards due to the tremendous power of the Heavenly Sword Lightning.
Because of that, the whole place shook as if there was an earthquake and the ground cracked.
“What, what is this!”
“Is this really the power of man?”
“Everyone step back!”
The royal guards and eunuchs, surprised by the aftermath, hurriedly retreated.
It was only when the lightning of the heavenly sword ended that the ground stopped cracking and shaking.
A large black hole showing how deep it had sunk.
There, dust rose.
It was such a great power that I thought it would be almost a miracle if I survived here.
I think I understand why the Master warned us not to use this on humans.
At that moment, I felt a faint sensation from behind.
“Yeonsaeng-ah!”
Someone ran towards where I was, and it was King Gyeong.
Seeing that he survived the chaos of the destruction of Daejeon, he is truly a great author.
I guess it's true that the emperor is sent from heaven.
King Gyeong-wang let out a gasp as he looked around at the ruins of his surroundings and the huge hole in the ground right in front of him.
"under!"
He also seems to have not predicted this outcome.
The face that had been tense and desperate was nowhere to be found, and King Gyeong looked at me and spoke with his gums exposed.
“You are indeed my comforter. I firmly believed that you would win.”
'What a surprise.'
I laughed inwardly at those words.
Even within Daejeon, he was a man of deep thoughts.
But how can you not hide your joy like that, as if you had completely forgotten about it?
But I think I know why he likes it so much.
“Hey, you’re His Majesty the King’s messenger?”
“Then that female comforter called Yeon-saeng?”
“That… that monstrous weapon is Your Majesty’s comforter?”
“At this level, isn’t he the best in the world?”
The voices of the royal guards and eunuchs can be heard all around.
Just hearing this, I can understand why King Gyeong-wang praised me so highly, calling me his personal comforter.
It's amazing that you're finding value in the midst of all this.
As I was sticking my tongue out like that, I whispered to the King.
“But Your Majesty, the others who were inside the palace…."
-Ouch!

I turned my head away without continuing the conversation.
And I looked into the deep, sunken hole through which the smoke was gradually disappearing.
'…….Tough.'
I thought that beyond just having his neck cut off, his entire body would have been destroyed by the lightning strike of the Heavenly Sword.
But I could feel some energy from below, even if it was very faint.
That is truly tenacious vitality.
“Why are you making such a serious face?”
“I’m not dead yet.”
"what?"
King Gyeong was dumbfounded by my words.
It was hard to believe that there was still life left in that sunken hole, as if a natural disaster had occurred.
“I have to kill you completely.”
You can't give him any leeway.
The lesson learned from the incident with the Self-Defense Forces was that complete annihilation was the only answer.
I tried to jump into the sunken hole.
Then someone's shout was heard.
“Stop!”
At this I turned my head.
In the direction of the collapsed Daejeon, a middle-aged man with a long, dusty beard was standing, holding onto two women.
They were the adopted daughters of the Empress and Mansasinui.
“Your Majesty the Empress!”
When the royal guard and eunuchs saw this, they were in an uproar.
The queen of the Yeon Empire has been captured and is being held hostage.
'You managed to survive.'
Even King Gyeong survived, but even if it was a situation where he couldn't use his internal energy, it was strange that a master under the Golden Emperor couldn't escape from there.
But they weren't the only ones who survived.
Another person from Daejeon walked out, grabbing two people by the neck with both hands.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”
He was a man with a bandage on his face.
I had recovered my internal energy, so there was no way I wouldn't be able to get out of that situation.
I was so focused on killing Geum Sang-je that I had completely forgotten about their safety.
'…..tsk.'
The distance is far.
No matter how much my lightness is like the wind, it is impossible to save all four people at this distance.
There are bound to be casualties.
“Yeonsaeng-ah. There are many eyes watching.”
The King gave me a small warning.
As he said, there were hundreds of people around him, from the Royal Guard to eunuchs.
From the King's perspective, if he were to give up someone in front of them, he would become a topic of gossip even before he became the emperor.
'Would it be better to put them all to sleep?'
I think it would be better to put the watching eyes to sleep.
So that we don't know what happened next.
At the moment I was thinking about it, Mongju shouted at me.
“If you let him go, I will let them live.”
"under!"
I snorted at that guy's words.
Do you think I'll let you go just because you're holding the guy you just caught hostage?
The bastard Mongju continued to shout at me.
“Nod your head if you accept.”
Are you telling me to show by movement that I can't hear?
I know it's desperate for you guys, but I have absolutely no intention of leaving any regrets behind.
Even if it costs me resentment…
At that moment, I heard someone's voice next to my ear.
[Look here.]
Hey, you?
I turned my eyes to the person who was sending the message.
He was none other than the man with his face bandaged.
Why did he, a master who had overcome walls and a subordinate of the Golden Emperor, call me this?
While I was wondering, the bastard's voice continued.
[You may not believe it, but Nobu is on your side.]
[My side?]
[He may look like this now, but he is known as a great warrior in the martial arts world.]
For a moment I almost showed my feelings.
A full-bore two-handed sword.
He was an acquaintance of Sima Zhao, one of the Eight Great Masters and a master craftsman of the Wolaek Sword.
I knew from Seolbaek that he, like Seobok, was being held captive by Geumsangje, but I didn't know it was him.
While I was surprised, the sound continued.
[They believe that the old man brainwashed them with poison, but the old man's poisonous martial art, Janghyeonnoegong (長賢腦功), can even change the blood vessels in the head.]
'under!'
This was a completely unexpected situation.
I thought that the man who was called the smartest in the world, along with his father-in-law, one of the five great villains, had been defeated by the enemy so pointlessly, but he had infiltrated the inside and was holding on like this.
[I was waiting for my chance, and thank goodness you subdued that monstrous author.]
With those words, he nodded to the monk and hostages in front of him.
And then he sent me a telegram again.
[Even if you are a peerless expert like me, there is still a distance between you and them. They will be saved by the old man. Just pretend to listen to him for a moment and buy him some time.]
I smiled broadly at his words.
[There is no need for that.]
[what?]
If the hostage was held by someone called Mongju, the situation would be different.
I met Mongju's gaze, who was staring at me intently.
At that moment, the bastard's eyes became blank, and he quickly released the hostages he was holding.
"ah?"
Then he immediately cut off his own neck.
-Whack!
He ended up committing suicide.
'!?'
Manbakja Du-gong, whose face was covered by a bandage as he rolled around on the floor, couldn't help but be surprised.
In the first place, it was possible to use the Stillness Mirror only with sight, even without sound.
However, the Emperor and the Minister of War were also captured, and the situation was not favorable, so he was just waiting for an opportunity to rescue them, as he might face backlash if he tried to do so rashly.
“Ahhhh!”
The empress and Mansashin's daughter, who had been held hostage, collapsed as if their legs had lost their strength.
Dougong, who was looking at them, stuck out his tongue and sent a message to me.
[Wow. You are really good……]
Before he could finish speaking.
I raised my head at the great energy I felt from above.
A huge dragon fist appeared, enough to swirl even the clouds, and soon it came rushing down from the sky at incredible speed.
-Pot!
I hastily stretched out my hand and pushed King Gyeong into the empty water.
But it seems like we won't be able to get out of range like this.
I swung my sword at the Yongkwonpung that was rising into the air in a hurry and trying to cover the surrounding area.
-Clang! Pachichik!
Then, the huge dragon fist was split in half by a sword strike covered in crimson lightning.
Exclamations erupted here and there as the sight was truly magnificent.
But my attention was elsewhere.
'Old man, you bastard!'
All the power had been put into the blow just now, but it was just an illusion.
Looking down, I saw that the old man, Bisun, was supporting the bloody gold statue that had crawled up from the floor.
Geum Sang-je muttered something or other, then pulled out the jade seal from his chest and smashed it with force.
Then the old man Biseon put his hand on his body.
'no way!'
Without even thinking, I hurled my weapon at the bastard.
The golden statue was glaring at me with eyes of blazing anger.
-Woooow!
'I can't miss it.'
-Pachichik!
Crimson lightning sparked in my flying footsteps.
But the bastard's body was already being sucked into the rippling space.
* * *
Chaoyang, northern Hubei Province.
A hidden house surrounded by cliffs.
Someone stumbled into the blacksmith shop inside the house, panting and panting.
He was none other than Geum Sang-je, covered in blood all over his body.
The blacksmith inside was startled and embarrassed by his appearance.
“What, what is this…..”
“It’s none of your business.”
“But I think I need to get my wounds treated…."
No matter how I looked at it, it wasn't normal.
Blue sparks were flying from what appeared to be a wound, and it looked extremely dangerous.
Geum Sang-je roughly grabbed the blacksmith by the collar and said.
“Black…what happened to the black?”
“That, it was already finished before half past ten o’clock.”
In the direction of the large incense burner that the frightened blacksmith pointed with his hand, there was a sword with intricate patterns that anyone could tell was the Blood Demon Sword.
Geum Sang-je let go of his collar and approached the sword.
Then someone called him.
“Your wound looks critical, my lord.”
Geum Sang-je turned his head away.
At the entrance to the blacksmith shop stood a middle-aged man with a kind face.
He was none other than Brain Jang, one of his three confidants.
“Brain……”
“It seems like the wound isn’t healing well. Regardless of the situation, I think it would be best for you to rest for now.”
At these words of the brain master, Geum Sang-je pulled out his blood demon sword with a distorted expression and said.
“There is no time to wait for recovery.”
"one……"
“I have to go there right now.”
Noejang's eyes became strange at Geumsangje's voice that sounded urgent.
It was only a very brief moment.
Soon, the brainwashed man bowed his head respectfully to Geum Sang-je and spoke.
“If you do that, I will take care of it.”
* * *
The tomb of King Ping of Chu in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
The space inside the stone chamber hidden deep inside the tomb rippled, revealing two human figures.
They were the gold medalist and the brain master.
Geum Sang-je, who was still limping as if he had difficulty walking, spoke to Noe Jang.
“Go outside and stay guarded, he might come.”
At his words, the leader obediently took the lottery ticket and went out of the stone chamber.
As he left, Geumsangje took out the five swords from the scabbards on his back, one by one, and inserted them into the engravings of the stone coffin erected in the pentagonal stone chamber.
-Okay!
The sword was completely stuck to the flaw due to the strong magnetic force.
-Kurrrrrr!!!
Then the organ mechanism started to move and soon black liquid flowed out from the floor of the stone chamber.
The black liquid that flowed out drew a curve on the floor.
"also."
Geumsangje then engraved swords into other stone coffins one after another.
Each time the swords were sheathed, the mechanism moved and black liquid rose from the stone chamber floor, drawing more curved patterns.
It was gradually taking the shape of a map.
“Ahhh.”
Now all that's left to do is fit the last sword.
Geumsangje approached the stone coffin in the north and engraved the demon sword, Geopsalgeom.
-Clang! Krrrrrr!
As the last sword went inside, something amazing happened.
The ceiling opened, revealing a small hole.
There was a luminous sphere in the hole, and the light from the sphere was directed in a straight line, pointing somewhere on the completed map on the floor.
"at las….."
It was that very moment.
-Phuk!
Someone stabbed Geum Sang-je in the heart.
“Ugh!”
Even though his injuries are serious, there aren't many who can fool his instincts and stab him from behind.
A voice came from behind him as he fell forward, kneeling on one knee and placing his hands on the floor.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Geum Sang-je turned his head with difficulty.
The one who stabbed his heart was none other than the brainwashing surgeon.
“Did you betray me?”
As Geum Sang-je, who was gritting his teeth in anger, pulled out the sword that had been stuck in his heart and held it to his neck, speaking.
“Betrayal… That would only be possible if you had pledged loyalty.”
"what?"
The brainwashed man said with the corners of his mouth raised.
“I thought I wouldn’t feel anything because I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long, but it feels good.”
“What? Are you feeling good?”
“Ah, how could I not feel good about keeping a promise with a friend?”
“What the hell are you talking about… Ugh!”
The brain master smiled and said to the suffering goldsmith.
“The police wanted to cut off your head with his own hands. But things in this world are not easy. The friend who lived for a just cause died in vain, and you continued your long life.”
Geum Sang-je's expression hardened.
“You…were you in cahoots with that guy from the beginning?”
“You’re only realizing it now, you’re dumber than I expected.”
A brain that laughs.
Geum Sang-je was speechless at the sight of his hidden side.
Then he spoke in an angry voice.
“Did you intend to betray Jim and gain immortality from the beginning?”
His question made the brain burst into rage.
“Hahahahahaha. What do you think of me that makes you say something like that?”
The brainwashed man shook his head as if he was foolish and spoke in a hoarse voice.
“In a way, you too have suffered for him, so I will answer your questions before I die.”
He spoke kindly, but his intentions were different.
Finally, it was to see her miserable face after learning the truth.
I wanted to see his reaction when he realized that all his three hundred years of hard work had been for nothing.
“Listen carefully. The ‘thing’ you have been struggling to obtain up until now is to revive my master, the Demon Immortal.”
“Masen?”
“He is the savior who will set this murky and dirty world right.”
"under……"
The leader couldn't hide his satisfaction at the sight of the golden statue.
I have endured this for over three hundred years, hiding this truth and working under him.
I am done watching this foolish being trying to satisfy his own selfish desires.
The brainwashing man spoke with strength in his sword.
“It’s a shame that you won’t be able to see him wash the world clean with his blood, but I guess your excessive greed will end here.”
Geum Sang-je, whose body is trembling.
"Goodbye."
Satisfied with his appearance, Noejang applied strength to his sword.
It was just then.
-Bam!
Geum Sang-je grabbed the blade with his hand.
The brain laughed hysterically.
“This is your last struggle. But with the state of your body… Huh?”
-Tsk tsk!
Before he could finish his words, a crack appeared near the sword that Geumsangje was holding.
The brainwashed man, who thought he still had some strength left, took his hand off the sword and tried to stab him between the eyebrows with the sword.
At that moment, Geum Sang-je grabbed his neck like a flash of lightning.
-Swish!
Then he immediately pushed him out of the stone chamber and threw his body against the common wall.
-Bang!
“Huh!”
The brainwashed man couldn't hide his bewilderment at the aerodynamic force that surpassed his imagination.
'What the heck is this?'
Unless he had awakened to the Magical Awakening, he should have had an advantage over him in terms of internal energy.
But it didn't make sense to push through even while injured.
Geum Sang-je said to him,
“That was the goal.”
"what?"
“The whole thing of putting the white sword of the self-defense force into the back of his head and striking it with it was all to revive that being called the demon ship.”
'!?'
At those words from Geum Sang-je, Noe Jang's two pupils shook.
The latter was something he said with his own mouth, but the former was something that Geum Sang-je didn't know about.
In that moment, the brain sensed something was strange.
“…….What the hell are you?”
-Knock knock knock!
As soon as he finished speaking, Geum Sang-je's face suddenly began to change and become clouded.
Then it changed into someone else's face.
'!!!'
He was none other than Jin Yun-hwi.
“Yes, how about you?”
When the brainwashed man found out about this, he was momentarily speechless.
It was no different from the way he spoke, from his knowledge of the location of the hidden base to his usual speech.
But what on earth is going on?
Jin Yun-hui spoke to him in a trembling voice.
“Did you think I’d just let you do whatever you wanted?”
