Episode 367
“Hmm… Is there still a long way to go?”
Shinhyeon muttered, glaring at the road where Snowfall came and went.
“Are you a dog? Hyeon-ah.”
“Hehehe… As I get older, my temper gets smaller.”
“Who are you worried about?”
“Ugh? “What does that mean?”
“I’m asking whether it’s Shinyu or snowfall that you’re worried about.”
“….”
Shinhyeon paused for a moment and then said this to Shinrip.
“I’m worried about Kang-seol, who will be overwhelmed and frustrated by the stars, and I’m also worried about Shin-yu, who will face someone else’s frustration again.”
“…Hyuna. Does Kangseol look like a person who would be frustrated?”
“I know. “Brother, in the world, the person who understands Shin-yu the best is Shin-kang, and the next one is Shin-hyeon.”
Shinhyeon scratched his chin for a moment and then started talking.
“Brother, have you ever been frustrated by Shinyu’s martial arts?”
“swarm? “Isn’t it Geomri (??)?”
“Hehehe… Everyone knows that he is good at swordsmanship. But that is unreasonable, not Geomri.”
“… You might think so.”
“This guy… understands everything about the other person. Everything from walking, stride, breathing, to body posture. You figure it all out in an instant. Do you know how much frustration it causes the other person?”
Shinhyeon becomes a bit angry and his tone becomes fierce.
“He said… This was before the river became his hand, right? “It was probably when the family just found out that this group of people was not normal.”
“… this.”
Shin Lip frowned as he guessed what Shin Hyeon had done.
“Did you show it to me?”
“Yes… I danced the sword dance with a half-confident heart because I wanted to show off my accomplishments.”
“Tsk tsk… it’s just you.”
“If I had understood his talent a little more deeply, I wouldn’t have made that mistake…”
“Did he do it the same way?”
“….”
Shinhyun shook his head and answered:
“After a few days, he was better than me. No, I was already at the end of the path I wanted to take.”
“…I can now expand to verse 3.”
“you’re right. Hehehe… I feel pretty dirty.”
If the achievement you have dedicated your life to achieving is nothing to someone else… there is no situation that causes more frustration than that.
“When I was young, I hated him for a while. “I think he put me down, his older brother, on purpose to show off.”
“That was careless. Shinyu is not that kind of child.”
“I know. Shinyu is a child who is far from harassing others or doing anything like that. Well, it may be different now. “I’m worried that Jiang Xue will misunderstand Xin Yu’s test and become frustrated.”
“Life in this wide labyrinth is all a lie. Except for Kangseol and Shinyu. If Kangseol wants to leave the labyrinth, he must receive Shinyu’s approval, and on the contrary, Shinyu must also help Kangseol grow.”
Shinhyeon wiped his nose with his finger and answered:
“Xinyu… might not want to leave.”
“… I have to go out. “A guy with potential can’t stay in the labyrinth forever.”
“That’s our opinion. “He… will think that leaving the labyrinth is an act of abandoning us.”
“That’s a childish idea.”
“Because he’s still young. I have never been taller than my brothers, and I have never been famous as a swordsman. “It’s just… he’s a guy who only lives for us.”
“Yes, even if I die…”
Shin Lip said firmly.
“So we, who are already dead, have to somehow let him go.”
“Hehehe… This is the origin of the story, right? In the end, Kang Seol shouldn’t be frustrated….”
“Stop that guy coming.”
Over there…
Snowfall was walking down the passage.
Hairless… It looks like it’s covered in a lot of dust.
The Shin brothers are full of pity.
At a glance, it looks like he was defeated by Shinyu.
Shinhyeon’s eyes narrowed.
The brother thinks that whenever Kang Seol says something, he should make up an excuse to cheer him up.
But Kang Seol raised his head, looked up at them, and said.
“You guys are here.”
“Uh… so, by any chance, Shinyu….”
“I have something to tell you.”
“Hmm? “If you have something to say, you can say it.”
Shinhyun and Shin Rip were a little surprised when Kangseol, who they thought would be depressed, actually came out actively.
And I was a little more surprised by Snowfall’s words that followed.
“I want to learn the sword.”
“… It’s a sword.”
“The time has come. Did you ultimately choose that path?”
Nod…
When Kang Seol nodded, Shin Lip and Shin Hyeon smiled and said.
“good night. It may be slow and it may be confusing. But if you continue to devote yourself to the sword, one day…”
“It’s not me.”
“… huh? Hehe… what now….”
“I’m not the one learning the sword.”
Sigh-!
Slurp…
A dark creature whose height had shrunk to that of an adult man was summoned in front of Kangseol.
“It just caught fire. “This guy.”
“….”
“You told me to tell you anytime if you need help, right?”
Shin Rip turned around and walked back to his living room, muttering.
“… crazy guy.”
* * *
Snowfall got a clue to the next step from the characteristics of darkness.
The clue is the quick learning speed of the shadows.
‘I’m definitely not asking you to become a swordsman.’
Is there a possibility that the Shadow Life suddenly becomes a peerless swordsman? If I get that kind of result within 1-2 years, I will believe in it and move forward with integrity.
But it probably won’t happen that way.
It took a lot of time to become a swordsman like Shin Yu or Shin Rip or Shin Hyeon.
‘But what if it’s imitation?’
I thought that it might be possible to ‘imitate’ a great swordsman in a short period of time.
‘Planting Seonjian was the right answer.’
At that moment when the light flashed, the darkness that was facing Shinyu’s sword saw how his sword moved.
It’s just that I’m not able to imitate it properly.
But this was a golden opportunity.
‘If it were me, I wouldn’t have done anything even if I had seen the slash.’
The fact that he can imprint it in an instant and at least pretend to imitate it means that the Dark Life has great potential.
“Hmm… Just one month?”
Anyway, Shinhyun and Shin Rip roll up their sleeves to tackle Kangseol’s outrageous plan.
First, Shin Hyeon explained about the Shin family.
“Except for Kang, the Shin family brothers are each born with special traits.”
What you know.
But if I said that to my teacher, he would lose his temper, so I listened in silence.
“My brother was born with strong physical strength that allowed him to lift 10,000 pounds, so he was born with lungs that were different from others and learned the rain sword. As you know, Xinyu is born with a sparkling sense.”
Since I knew this, I didn’t want to ask questions.
‘Oh no. ‘I have a question, but…’
Kang Seol asked a question she had been harboring for a long time.
“But why are the swords each brother mastered are different?”
“That is because it is a sword technique that was splintered from the sword of the founder who founded the Shin family.”
“inspection?”
“okay. The founder made a name for himself on the continent with his swordsmanship, and although he was perfect in swordsmanship, he was unable to perfect it due to lack of qualifications. “Well, there were some parts that were not used in practice, so the level of completion was low, so the predecessor divided it and reborn it into various sword techniques.”
“Wouldn’t it be less efficient?”
“Not like that. “Each sword technique has its own perfect technique, so it is not inferior to any other sword technique.”
but.
Kang Seol doesn’t think Shin Rip and Shin Hyeon can win even if they only have one sword, so maybe swordsmanship isn’t that important.
‘No, it’s important, but Shin Rip and Shin Hyeon are at a higher level than that.’
It’s not that craftsmen don’t care about their tools.
The tools a craftsman uses are ones you can trust and use.
So, I listened quietly without complaining.
“Hmm… Kangwoo Sword is not an ordinary sword. It is a swordsmanship that increases breathing to the limit and rains down blows on the opponent like rain. “Everyone left except me.”
“yes.”
“I won’t show you the third verse. You won’t be able to understand it anyway, so it will only be a hindrance. Yes… that… what he has to learn over and over again is the first verse.”
“yes.”
“Let’s get started.”
Phew…
boom!
Pak-!
Pak-!
After Shinhyeon caught his breath once, he made three thrusts.
Stinging at a steady pace.
Ordinary action.
“Is this the end?”
“Hey, focus and watch.”
I thought I could split the darkness into small pieces and look at it from several directions, but if I did that, the Seonjian would not work properly.
And the only things that can be split are the night beasts, and the creatures of darkness cannot be split even if they are split.
Paaaa-!
Paaaaat-!
Paaaaaaat-!
Shinhyun shows off a couple of clean thrusts.
Kang Seol thought for a moment and said this.
“Um… I don’t know.”
Kang Seol honestly felt like he wasn’t sure.
Maybe it’s because I’m not very knowledgeable about swordsmanship.
On the other hand, the darkness…
Paaaaaaaa!
Paaaaaaaaaaaa!
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
He stood up and imitated the same movement.
Some learning methods involve blindly following things rather than understanding them.
‘That’s exactly what happened in this case…’
Kangseol had a lot of thoughts, whereas Darkness had nothing to think about, so he blindly followed along.
And Shinhyeon found it quite interesting.
“Hey guy, take wider strides. Yes, I used too much force to stab it. The movements become simpler, making it easier to avoid. Yes, that’s right.”
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Paaaaaaaaaaaa!
Paaaaaaaaaaaa!
“….”
“… What is this guy?”
Darkness showed off his talent to Shinhyeon, just as he had surprised Kangseol in the past.
“Okay, okay. “I’m going to take a long breath here.”
Whoop…
The moment he swallowed, Shinhyeon’s energy suddenly changed.
Suuuu…
‘This…’
That scene that Shinyu showed me.
Shinhyeon’s sword pierced the tree.
Paaaaaaaaaaaa!
The tree that was broken by a single stab was not a very thin tree.
“…Are you just showing me this once?”
“What are you talking about, you idiot?”
Shinhyeon responded to Kangseol.
“You stabbed me three times.”
“… yes?”
“Look again.”
Paaaaaaaaaaaa!
same.
‘No, it’s different. ‘It’s really number 3, right?’
He made three moves at a tremendous speed, as if he were doing them all at once.
Pak… pak!
Shinhyeon had a serious expression on his face as he must have seen something in the darkness’s clumsy movements.
“Hmm… I guess I can learn enough to get to verse 2. “The first verse may be the limit for unfolding.”
“yes? Why…”
“It would be better to find out for yourself later. Even if you know, you can’t prepare.”
Shin Hyeon and Shin Rip’s swordsmanship was famous for its simplicity.
The swordsmanship consisted of only the first, second, and third verses, and even those consisted of short separate movements.
In other words, each sword technique has only three movements. Of course, since the people who handled it were Shin Rip and Shin Hyeon, it was not something that could be considered a weakness.
Kang Seol and Dark Life were taught by Shin Rip and Shin Hyeon for about a month. I practiced the same movements every day and learned swordsmanship.
Perhaps thanks to Kang Seol’s efforts in this process, he was also given the opportunity to grow.
[The grace of darkness falls.]
[Intermediate swordsmanship rises to advanced swordsmanship.]
…
And as I grew up, there was one thing I unintentionally noticed.
‘… The Shadow Life cannot imitate the swordsmanship of the two.’
Although I couldn’t replicate that depth, I knew I could at least imitate it.
But that wasn’t it, I couldn’t even follow along.
‘There’s a difference in physical ability!’
Shin Rip has strength that is beyond human, and Shin Hyeon has lungs so good that you wonder if he can even breathe.
At least the strength seemed promising, but the lungs had to be made just like the leather in the beginning.
By readjusting the amount of blood going to the muscles, we moved a lot of blood in an instant, increasing the strength that can be exerted at once, and since it was a dark creature that moves with darkness rather than air, we designed lungs that facilitate the circulation of darkness.
[The Shadowsaver can move faster using the Dark Pouch.]
[The Darkslayer’s muscles are strengthened.]
[The power the Darkslayer can exert at once increases.]
…
The original plan was for a month, but it actually ended up being a month. It was a schedule that took over three months. To see for yourself the phrase that appeared above.
And when the conditions met as expected.
Paaaaaaaaaa!
A tree bursting open when stabbed.
“… it is a success.”
The darkness was able to imitate the Shin brothers’ swordsmanship.
I didn’t know if I was as strong as them.
But at least you won’t be caught unawares.
The snowfall never stopped even for a moment.
“Hey. “Are you watching?”
Snowfall shouted into the deserted forest.
“come out! “Let’s stick together!”
For the first time, instead of waiting for Xinyu to visit, Jiang Xue went to see him first.
Thump…
Thump…
