#1008. The Right World

He had talent.
If you learn one, you will have the natural ability to know heat and easily use any weapon.
He had passion.
A heart of patriotism and loyalty to one day become a great general to protect and prosper a declining country.
He had a family.
Even though they were a poor farming family, his parents and younger siblings gave their all to his learning and training.
Therefore, he learned and practiced everything with all his passion and sincerity in order to one day return to Geumui and repay his family.
After actually enlisting as a volunteer soldier.
He has made remarkable achievements one after another.
Everyone had no doubt that he would succeed.
…Until his country was destroyed overnight.
The reason was simple.
The king referred to himself as emperor.
Actually, it wasn’t a big problem originally.
It was a common occurrence in any country for politicians to exaggerate themselves and use all kinds of rhetoric in order to increase their authority even a little.
The problem is that in the process, the king undermined the authority of the Wei Black Dragon God Army.
At least the Seven Dragons Association thought so.
Punishment was imposed for that.
That’s how the country collapsed.
The Black Dragon Clan was torn apart simply by showing their discomfort without the Black Dragon God Army directly stepping forward.
And in the process.
He couldn’t do anything.
At best, I just took my family and ran away.
Still, although he may have been frustrated until then, he did not give up hope.
Although losing my country was bitter, I had the confidence to take care of my family by being employed in another country.
But he found out.
That it was pride.
The Black Dragon Clan, the longest of the seven clans, completely ostracized even the people of the fallen nation.
In particular, he was renowned for his military exploits, even if it was only a minor one, and was shunned by every country, treated as a plague patient.
Thanks to this, the family met a miserable end as they moved from country to country in poverty and hunger.
Even then he couldn’t do anything.
Even the country that needs to be protected.
I also dream of achieving a successful career and returning home.
A loving family too.
After losing everything in vain, there is only one thing left for him.
There was only a desperate desire for revenge against the dragon.
But he couldn’t actually take revenge.
No matter how talented he was, he was no match for the master of the Seven Dragons’ Order who dealt with the mysteries of psionics.
However, it was more meaningless to fight against the Seven Dragons, which ruled the world, through force or politics.
The hotter the desire for revenge burns.
The feeling of helplessness deepened.
Unable to endure that frustration, he decided to burn down even one branch of the Seven Dragons.
He met.
To the drinker.
It’s an open car section.
A sword speaks louder than words.
No matter how you look at it, she seemed like a brave girl, but unlike herself, who was helpless, she confidently faced the Seven Dragons on her own.
With the teacher who would later be called Geomje.
After meeting her like that.
His fate changed.
And….
“….”
A sigh.
He looked straight ahead.
The first thing you see are golden eyes.
Even though there is a knife stuck to his neck with only a single piece of paper at most, his eyes are so deep and serene that they do not waver even an inch.
As I slowly lowered my head following the gaze of those golden eyes, the next thing I saw were two swords.
One is his half-finished sword.
One is a carving knife whose light has disappeared.
The sight of the two swords, broken and damaged as they could not withstand the aftereffects of the immense power, shows how fierce their sword fight was.
Only after checking the sword like that.
Her own breasts are visible.
No, more precisely, I look at the last sword stuck in the middle of it.
Strong Demon Sword.
After the death of Geomje in the past.
A magic sword made from one of the two broken dragon swords was lodged in his heart.
And so, the moment the drop of blood that had been flowing down the sword body fell to the floor.
What I heard was a calm voice.
“This is the end. Death penalty.”
“…okay.”
Calmly.
After nodding.
He admitted it.
“It’s your victory.”
And…
“Cough!”
Limon quietly supported the Sword Demon, who collapsed on the spot and coughed up a handful of blood.
We were fighting to the death a while ago.
There was no resentment or hostility towards the other person in the eyes of Ben Limon or even the Sword Demon Bane.
In fact, it was the opposite.
“You’ve become stronger.”
It’s as if he’s proud of it.
The Sword Demon smiled.
When we had 7 duels in the past.
In the end, Limon defeated him, but he was no stronger than him.
If Dong Gui Jin had not taken his own life as a hostage and sealed the Strong Magic Dragon Sword, no matter how many times he fought, he would not have been able to defeat him.
But it was different now.
Pure swordsmanship and swordsmanship.
And the sword and the sword.
The results of pouring everything in and overwhelming him from the front proved it.
This time, Limon surpassed him.
And when the sword demon thinks.
The factor was clear.
“Because I had time.”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
-time.
Fair to everyone.
So something more absolute.
Even if the Sword Demon is the best sword in the world and has become stronger through death.
He, who was stuck in the past, was unable to catch up with the hundreds of years that Limon had accumulated.
However, the Sword Demon did not take Limon’s strength for granted.
“But not everyone can become as strong as you just because of time.”
Extensive combat experience accumulated against many powerful enemies.
13 swords collected by raising disciples and fighting sword masters.
And even the dragon psionics he gained by going through many encounters with the seven princesses of the Seven Dragons, recognizing them, and taking them as his bride.
Limon’s Yam Dragon King Sword was able to be completed because it had everything.
They say it is proof that he has fought for humanity with unwavering will for hundreds of years without stopping for a moment.
The Sword Demon laughed loudly.
“In the end, my revenge failed.”
“No, the revenge of death was already over when the seven dragons were killed. “It was just an obsession that remained.”
“Well, maybe so.”
Unexpectedly cool.
Geomma acknowledged that fact.
For a vengeful demon who killed a tenth of humanity just to avenge his revenge, his attitude was too kind.
But at the same time, it was also a natural reaction.
“Because revenge wasn’t that important to me anyway.”
okay.
It was just as Limon said.
When the seven dragons died.
His revenge is already over.
Of course, that didn’t mean the resentment disappeared.
When they killed the seven dragons and the Geomje was killed by the seven dragons, a new cycle of revenge was created.
However, he was not crazy enough to cause such a massacre just to avenge the Sword Emperor.
Nevertheless, there is one reason why he tried to eliminate the Seven Dragons Association by any means necessary.
“Do you still believe that this world is wrong?”
“Don’t you know the priest well?”
“….”
“No, rather, the priest who perfected such sword skills would know better than me.”
The Sword Demon smiled slightly when he saw Limon’s mouth closed as if he had hit the nail on the head.
Yam Yongsalgeom.
It was clearly a swordsmanship that was like every sword master’s nemesis, completely created to deal with him.
But is that all it is?
Why did Limon obtain the sword that cuts down all mysteries?
The Sword Demon, who knew more clearly than anyone else how deep and wide the swordsmanship that Limon had accumulated over the past hundreds of years, was confident.
That can’t be happening.
With Limon’s talent and experience, he could have made a simpler sword.
So he could be sure.
“?Our world is distorted.”
“….”
“And what represents that distortion is the mystery that humanity has built up.”
Yes, that’s right.
A sword master’s sword is not just a necessity, but is completed based on the life he has lived and his will.
In that sense, obtaining the sword sword that neutralizes all mysteries was proof that Limon was ultimately denying mysteries deep down inside.
Geomma knew the reason better than anyone else.
Because he was the one who told Limon about that fact.
“Skill is something you have to build from the ground up.”
“But our civilization didn’t start that way.”
“One day, the spirits suddenly came and we accepted what was distributed and dug in from above, so we have not yet overcome the spirits.”
Since the distant Golden Age, people with outstanding talent have succeeded in reproducing the technology by reverse engineering the parts and tools of the spirits.
But it is only a personal success.
With natural talent.
I just did it intuitively.
Actually, I didn’t know all the principles.
No matter how great a technology was reproduced, it could not be established as a theory and was often discontinued after the fact.
That’s why the technique was called magic and treated as a mystery that came from an individual’s talent.
But even though there were so many shamans and spiritualists… Or rather, because of that, humanity still could not catch up with the spirits’ technology.
There was no need to develop skills, just use spirit spheres or magic spheres.
Because of this, even the magic tools made by Eonryeongsa thousands of years ago were treated as valuables by Lost Technology.
“God must be a heavenly being.”
“But our gods came down to earth.”
“Because they gathered faith by directly showing miracles, we can no longer deny God even if we do not follow Him.”
God must be the savior of souls.
However, as the incarnations intervened in this world, humans came to pray to God for wealth and glory and miracles in this world rather than rest in the afterlife.
And when you get one, you want two.
If you want a good harvest, pray to the earth god rather than farming harder.
Rather than training an army to protect the country, he hopes for a miracle from the God of War.
Paying more tribute to priests than studying medicine to treat patients.
Humanity has come to take dependence on God for granted and has forgotten how to become self-reliant without miracles.
Just like children who live in the arms of their parents even after becoming adults.
“The most terrifying thing of all is the dragon.
“They left their lineage and spread martial arts among humans.
“In this way, only those who have mastered the martial arts of the dragon will succeed, and only those with the blood of the dragon will be able to monopolize wealth and power for generations.”
Spirit skills too.
Even the magic spread by God.
Basically, it is something that can only be learned if one is born with talent.
Therefore, as times changed, they gradually declined and were pushed out.
There were only 13 sword masters in history, and there was no need to mention the Sword Master, who barely survived as Limon was the only one left.
However, dragon blood and martial arts were different.
Even after the death of the seven dragons, the Seven Dragons Association continued to work so persistently that it was called the Demonic Cult and expanded its clan.
Like a plague that spreads constantly.
“That is why the Seven Dragons Association must disappear.”
“….”
“To return this world to its proper state.”
As long as mystery exists, humanity cannot develop on its own and cannot escape a life dependent on mystery and dominated by the Absolute.
A world without all mysteries.
That is the truly correct world that humanity should aim for.
Seeing the Sword Demon speaking with confidence even as he was dying, Limon had no choice but to remain silent.
