Trait Hoarder Chapter 214

Episode 214 Succession -1-

The road is visible.

It was the way of the sword, the way of power, and the way of war.

I threw myself at what I saw.

He drew the blazing black sword with his bare hands.

Boom! Boom! Kwaaang!

A loud noise erupts.

The sword is the purest crystal of power.

Also, the soul of a superhuman who has transcended the level.

A rough shock is transmitted through the sword.

Originally, it would have been normal to stop because of this elasticity.

But Mars’ gladiatorial combat even made use of explosions and recoil.

Sensually, as if foreseeing the future, he gains more power and charges at his enemies.

Like lightning.

Or like the greatest general of the era slicing through the battlefield.

An attack truly worthy of the god of war.

“Haha!”

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

The sword masters are breathing in empty wind.

Each person takes three or four steps back.

Their eyes were wide open as if they were going to tear apart.

Of course.

My silent sword, a black sword with a white sheen, passed threateningly in front of them.

So, in the end, he fell like a guillotine towards the old man.

Kwaaaaah!

The sword is burning.

Black flames rise from the roots that resemble white lightsabers.

Black and white rays of light brilliantly surround each other.

Transformed into the Nephilim sword in Mars’ sword fighting style.

At the same time, my prayers change and I transform from a seasoned veteran into a powerful magical warrior.

Guhyeongwon’s face changed abruptly.

He spreads his sword in a hurry.

What the Baekho Sword releases is a sword curtain.

The best defensive technique in the sword series, implemented with swordsmanship.

If it weren’t for the Nephilim sword I struck down, I would have been able to defend myself.

Kwajik!

Nephilim’s black sword is the pinnacle of all strong martial arts.

The black and white sword rips through the dark curtain.

It eats black tigers and shows off its vicious teeth.

The sword, a conglomerate of supreme power, passed through the old circle, scratching at it.

“Kwaaak!”

It’s shallow.

But it definitely felt like the magic circuit was being torn apart.

You may not be dead, but this makes you incapable of fighting.

I heard a scuffle behind me.

“Inom!”

“Who dares!”

“Kill him!”

Sword Master is Sword Master.

If you take three or four steps back, you can overcome it in one breath and then charge forward.

In the old days, you would have had to equip defensive traits and defend yourself.

It’s different now.

Phew!

Kalaratree activated.

My body evaporates.

It transforms into a single bolt of lightning and passes through the gap between the swords.

“her!”

“What now!”

I passed through the net in an instant.

Before my eyes could see anything, I was already behind the 2nd Division Commander.

He concentrated the power of Kalaratri, gathered the power of the lightning, and struck the 2nd Division Commander with a powerful blow.

“Ahhhh!”

A rush of lightning.

Kalaratri is the strongest of all my attacks in terms of instantaneous damage.

It was a blow that contained the power of a storm.

The 2nd Division commander rolled his eyes and screamed.

The faces of the remaining three turned pale.

“This is, this is… … .”

“It’s impossible. It’s impossible. It’s impossible!”

“How could this happen? This can’t be happening. This is ridiculous.”

Three people who deny reality without any particular reason.

I had no intention of just watching.

Using Mars’s sword fighting technique, he charges again.

The sword masters are trying to stop it quickly, but will it work?

He fell, covered in blood, from the attacks of Mars’ sword, the Nephilim sword, and the Kalaratree, which were freely switching between the three.

“Huh!”

“Keuh-uh-uh!”

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

I didn’t kill him.

Instead, he used the Nephilim’s sword to cut through the magic circuits.

Drinking top-tier healing potions and holy water will help you recover, but you’ll be struggling for at least a few months.

“I appreciate it.”

He spoke to the heads of five people.

“I ended it like this because I saw the commander’s face. If it weren’t for the commander, you would have died.”

I’m serious.

I received a sword and sword skills from the commander, but I cannot kill my own child.

“Ugh. Ugh.”

It seems like Ku Hyeong-won wants to say something.

He reached out to me, but I coldly turned my back.

‘Should I have caught him with a gun?’

There was something I was asked to do by King Jeongjo.

no.

They weren’t the kind of people who could be treated so leisurely.

It was so easy to win because the fight was so fraudulent while switching between the three major swordsmanship methods, but it wouldn’t be strange if I let my guard down and got my head cut off.

Never let your guard down.

As I came out of the office, chewing on those words, an old man was waiting for me.

The face is covered with wrinkles.

On the other hand, the eyes are heterogeneously clear.

It was Gu Jeong-ju, the old man.

“I have no face.”

The old man bowed his head to me.

“I heard that my younger brother and nephew were plotting something, but I never dreamed that they would act so swiftly. I came running as soon as I heard, but it was already too late.”

“It’s okay. I won.”

“I predicted that too. Wasn’t that the swordsman who defeated me at level 6? I was worried about something else.”

The old man took a quick peek inside.

Five of them are seen groaning and writhing.

Old man Koo looks noticeably relieved.

“You, Black Saint, have already reached the realm of the highest level. You have the ability to fight five people at the same level while keeping your hands full. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.”

“I’ll give it a try.”

“Huh? Hahahaha! That’s right. The swordsman hits a lot! No, not a little, but a lot!”

The old man goes inside.

Thump, thump, I hear someone knocking.

It wasn’t hitting, it was questioning.

He takes out elixirs from his magic pouch and feeds them little by little.

I didn’t finish the whole bottle, but it was enough.

Swordmasters recover quickly.

“Ugh, brother… … .”

“Brother… … .”

“Hey, uncle. That guy, that guy… … .”

Have you still not gotten over your foolishness?

The sword masters were glaring at me.

Then the old man sighs deeply and starts beating them.

Phew!

“Wake up!”

The old man gave a low scolding.

“Do you still think the world revolves around you? Don’t you know that if you harm the Black Star even a little, Father will be furious! No, you don’t even have the ability to harm him in the first place, so why are you acting so recklessly! It wouldn’t be enough to admit your mistake and apologize to the victims!”

“Hey, to begin with, giving the Mukho Sword to an outsider… … .”

“You idiot!”

Phew!

The old man kicked the sword master who responded.

“Geumseong is the true successor of Father. Why don’t you know that yet? Just because you inherited blood or DNA doesn’t make you the successor! Geumseong is Father’s disciple. Do you understand?”

“Blood, how can you do that to your own blood… … .”

“Is blood relative important? Skill comes first! With such a soft mind, with such a petty eye that can’t even recognize the opponent’s skill, with such arrogance and stubbornness, you make such a foolish attack, and that’s how you ended up like this. Good, good! You’re such a loser! How does it taste to be receiving real education for the first time since your hair grew?”

Thud! Thud thud!

The old man kicked several more times.

Then, as if he sensed my gaze, he looked at me and smiled.

“Geumseong. Could you please step aside for a moment? I think we need to have a serious conversation as a family.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Blood is thicker than water, and the arm bends inward.

Even though they are demanding and demanding bloody punishment, I decided to let it slide.

Anyway, the real punishment will be handed down by the commander.

Something similar happened in the game, and I know how it ended.

Considering the commander’s temperament, it would have been better to leave his injuries untreated.

The more sound you are, the more resolute the commander becomes.

I set up a temporary office.

The computer was brought in by the officer on duty.

It was worth protecting the data from the bomb, it’s still intact.

I continued working.

Use your understanding, intelligence, cool-headedness, and focus to find the shortcomings in your documents, and use Seo Woo-jin and Kim Cheol-kwon remotely.

“Black Star! You were attacked?”

While I was working, the commander barged in.

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“Of course! Would the King of the Mountains blink an eye when a pack of lynxes attacked? I’ll just leave these guys alone!”

“Please leave me alone. Instead, I would like you to increase my authority.”

“Your authority?”

“Yes. The right to inspect alone is not enough. I would like you to give me command authority, even if it is only a few battalions.”

“Okay. Let’s do that.”

The commander was certainly cheerful.

The three division commanders and two staff officers who attacked me.

I removed five of them from their posts and sent them to prison, tore three divisions apart, and created a special inspection brigade, which I assigned to me.

A whole brigade.

And it’s made up entirely of superhumans.

Although it was smaller than an ordinary brigade, numbering only 1,000 men, it was a formidable force.

A single brigade was far stronger than my own military security.

‘This is amazing.’

Considering that Jeil Security was created by mixing some of the Iron Fist faction with Jeil Security, it is truly a powerful force.

There was no inauguration ceremony or anything.

Put into practice right away.

I went around Seoul like an automatic expedition in a game.

[Loyalty! I am reporting. We have uncovered a black shop in Myeongdong. This black shop specialized in the trade of corpses, and many missing people were found there, and former Chief of Staff Gu Seong-ju is connected… … .]

[Loyalty! I report. We have completed the cleanup of the underground magic tower in Nowon-gu. There were many victims in the underground magic tower biological laboratory, and we also discovered the black magic soul road and the necromancy tower. There is evidence that the deputy chief of staff, Gumiju, was involved in this… … .]

Similar reports came in several times a day.

I stuck out my tongue inwardly.

‘The Eastern Army was like this?’

I knew it was going to be a mess, but I didn’t know it would be this bad.

That’s why things turned out like that after the commander died.

I conducted the inspection for about two weeks.

It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough.

I printed out the report and banged it on the desk.

As the A4 paper is aligned, a sense of pride rises in my chest.

A sense of accomplishment?

No it wasn’t.

It was a characteristic.

The contents of the report are clearly organized, and the operational plan on the monitor finally catches my eye.

[Operation] Characteristics.

If it was going to be made, it should have been made a little sooner.

I quietly counted the numbers.

‘Command, order, control, operation… … two up to general.’

Captain and supply.

Those two are all you need.

After thinking about this, I got up and picked up the report.

The adjutant who was assigned to replace the man on duty saluted me.

“Loyalty! Thank you for your hard work.”

“You too, Lieutenant, have had a hard time.”

It was certainly comfortable to have an adjutant.

It was on a different level from the soldier on duty.

Because you brought me what I needed like a ghost, and you also took good care of the internal affairs of the inspection brigade assigned to you.

I went out of the office.

The brigade’s leading officers waited and saluted.

“Loyalty! Thank you for your hard work!”

“You all have worked hard too.”

A lot has happened in the past two weeks.

It’s not important, so let’s just move on.

However, this is just my guess.

Maybe I’ll see you again with the people here.

So I politely greeted them, shook hands with the officers, and passed by.

The office of the commander we arrived at like that.

Everyone else was gathered together.

I can also see the five people who attacked me.

He was kneeling in the center of the office, his hair disheveled and haggard.

“You’re here.”

The commander sits in a high chair at the end of the office.

He looked at the report in my hand, blinked, and then tapped the chair next to him.

“Sit here.”

Isn’t this the seat I used to sit in?

The corps commander always sat at the head of a long table, with his staff on his right and the commander on his left.

Naturally, I was given a position among the staff.

But he made me sit next to him, in the highest seat… … .

He bowed and sat down next to the commander.

The commander reviewed the documents and sighed briefly.

Then, as if throwing it away, he handed the documents to the 1st Division Commander, Mr. Koo.

“Read it.”

“Yes, Commander. I am ashamed.”

“Do you know?”

“Yes. I will gladly accept whatever decision you make.”

The old man read the document to the end and then passed it on to the next person.

The Eastern Army consists of five divisions.

Considering that the ROK Army is made up of three divisions and one corps, it is an excessive organization.

The 5th Division commander read the document and lowered his head.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

“If you know something is wrong, you should fix it. Why do you live like this?”

“sorry.”

The atmosphere becomes heavy.

Every time I read each document, I feel like I’m sinking into a swamp.

“You also see.”

After going around once, the documents were also delivered to the five kneeling ones.

The head that was bowed down falls even lower.

Almost touching the ground.

That’s understandable, since four of these five were the worst.

Four, excluding the old one.

They committed the most serious crimes, wielded power most viciously, and produced the most victims.

All of these are things that the legion commander absolutely hates.

The commander sighed as he looked at the five, especially the four.

“What should I do with you?”

“Commander… … .”

“I also regret not being able to spend time with you when you were young. But that was the era. If I had been there to discipline you back then, this country, the Republic of Korea, might not have been founded.”

In the original world, liberation was honestly largely a result of the Allied victory.

It was different in this world.

World War II was more of a struggle of all against all rather than the Allies versus the Axis.

Eastern and Western Army Corps Commanders.

If it weren’t for these two, independence would have been difficult.

Is it all over just because you’re independent?

no.

The Korean War broke out, and the Eastern Army Corps commander made brilliant achievements.

Thanks to that, the Cheorwon city government was established.

“The king said to govern the country and bring peace to the world. I am not good at it, so I am saying that I will govern the country and bring peace to the world. Life is truly meaningless.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Commander! I was wrong!”

“It’s all my fault!”

“Please, save me!”

“Never again, never again will I do something in vain!”

Did you have a gut feeling about something?

Five men called out to the commander desperately.

But the commander’s face was cold and hard.

Pot!

Put a dot in the air.

Bring your index and middle fingers together and make a fist.

The wind blowing out of there.

No, it’s a sword energy emitted by fingers.

A transcendent flash of light transcended space.

What ends up there are four lower abdomens.

That is, Danjeon.

The magic training method mainly focuses on gathering magic power in the heart, but the warrior’s heart method centers magic power in the danjeon.

The Danjeon was crushed and the Sword Masters, or rather the ‘things’ that were Sword Masters, screamed.

“father!”

“You are going too far!”

“How, how could you do this!”

“Do you really like that little brat so much?”

Four people screaming in agony.

The commander shouted in rage.

“Are you still out of your mind?”

Thud! Thud thud thud!

A torrent of angry kicks pours out.

The sword masters who had become useless fell out, spitting out blood.

All that remains is one old circle.

Guhyeongwon looked up at the commander with a miserable face.

“Commander… … .”

Here even the commander paused.

Unlike the previous four, Ku Hyeong-won did not commit a serious crime.

Rather, there were many traces of attempts to rescue the victims or to dissuade their uncles and aunts.

The commander thought for a moment and then looked back at me.

“Black. You choose.”

Guhyeongwon has only one sin.

What ambushed me?

You can forgive me.

You can bring them back alive and treat them like slaves.

But my answer was set from the beginning.

Since they threatened my life, detonated a bomb, and attacked me with several people.

I never go soft.
