Chapter 381:
I had heard of a man nad Yoohyeon.
The owner of the tent, currently inactive.
Therefore, Yoohyeon is currently the strongest among the active mbers of Jangmag.
“Are you hurt?”
As Yuhyeon approached Yurim, the crow that was attached to Yurim flew towards Yuhyeon.
Food deuk…
Yu-rim relayed information to Yu-hyeon.
“They… use three types of swords, Master. Also….”
“Start with the answer to my question. …Are you hurt?”
“That’s… yeah…”
She looked at .
“yes. “Seol… saved … I’m sorry. It was my fault.”
Yuhyeon put her hand on the shoulder of Yurim, who was blaming herself, and shook her head.
“It’s no one’s fault. No person can be perfect. That’s why I raise my sword.”
Sigh… Yoohyeon stood up again with her bent knees looking at Lucia and the others and said.
“To reach perfection one day.”
“… Yoohyeon. “You were indebted to , right?”
As the surprised face said, Yoohyeon left many scars on her face. Because he killed the hateful face and defeated the smiling face Jamad.
‘This person… Yoohyeon.’
It was a strange feeling to see the master of the tent, whom I had only heard about, in front of my eyes.
“be careful. Master, they use strange sword techniques. “If you put the three swords together… it’s difficult to block.”
Yoohyeon smiled and scratched her chin after hearing her words.
“That’s interesting. “Three swords beco one.”
“fun? “How dare you…”
“I’ll cut your mouth into pieces first.”
Paaaaat-!
Three people joined forces from the beginning.
Neither I nor Yurim could help Yuhyeon because we had spent a lot of energy in an instant.
“Danger….”
Kaaaaaaaaaa!
Lucia is the first to attack with her sword.
Touuung…
Yuhyeon knocked it out without difficulty.
‘Unusual sound…’
At the sa ti, two swords were aid at him.
Tudung-!
Yoohyeon easily bounces them off again.
Boom!
Touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Tudung!
‘Oh no… I can’t believe it…’
Yoohyeon dealt with all three people with one sword, with one hand behind her back.
In other words, he is suppressing three people with one hand.
“Ugh….”
“Here you go!”
Surprised faces gritting their teeth as loopholes were not revealed as expected.
However, people cannot be perfect.
A hole created the mont Belian’s vibration sword is removed. It wasn’t intentional. It was definitely a mistake.
The three decided that way.
The three swords beca entangled like a huge stream.
[Velian uses the vibrating sword.]
[The sword vibrates, making defense difficult.]
[Veldre uses the spreading sword.]
[The effect given to the sword gradually expands the range. It expands and spreads.]
[Lucia uses the Bloodletting Sword.]
[When the Bloodletting Sword inflicts a wound, it causes massive bleeding in the target.]
…
‘That’s…!’
Looking at the sa place at the sa ti.
Aim strongly at the target location.
The three of us will soon beco one.
It was their breath.
And against it…
a sword that was one from the beginning.
[Yoohyeon uses Jeolgi: Unified Cut.]
[Cuts down the target.]
At the point where the three swords et, Yuhyeon’s sword ca first and was waiting.
Standing at the intersection without any hesitation.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
Everything was cut down.
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
There was no trace of Veldre standing in front, and the other two were reduced to rags by fragnts of the broken sword.
Just one move.
He conquered everything with just one move.
“Ugh… wow….”
“Woo… wow….”
The sisters scattered and collapsed.
Now it has been reduced from three to two.
Even that number seed likely to decrease soon.
“I saw it well. As expected…”
Clap…
“You can’t do just one thing.”
Yoo-hyeon performs a lead sword.
‘Overwhelming skill…’
Yuhyeon looked like a god, crushing the approaching threat with only a sword.
“Master!”
Yurim’s face changed from surprise to emotion, and she approached Yuhyeon and hugged her.
“… I missed you.”
“ too, Yurim. “I’m glad you’re safe.”
The reunion of teacher and disciple.
We have already heard a lot about the relationship between Yurim and Yuhyeon. It is also said that he recognized Yurim’s genius and did his best to teach him.
“Ugh… Ugh….”
A fragnt stuck in Lucia’s chest.
She is still alive, but living is wrong.
I approached her.
With all the other sisters already dead, I was struggling to figure out what lingering feelings I had left.
“Uh… ah… I can’t… keep it like this…”
“Why are you doing that? “Do you have any regrets left?”
It was then.
Faaaaaaaaaaa!
She pulled my collar.
“This…”
“Listen… listen…”
What do you want to hear?
Is there sothing you want to say?
I put my ear to her as her voice gradually beca quieter.
“I… I… I rember you…”
“… What?”
“I rembered… I have to rember… you… or… everyone… dead…” “
… what are you talking about?”
“Deja vu… I forgot… If I forget… I won’t…”
Deja vu.
The words that ca out of her mouth kept ringing in my head.
‘no way!’
Maybe she knows sothing about the phantom pain I experience.
“Lucia! hey!”
Tuk…
there was no answer.
My eyes were dead and my breath was dead.
She won’t co back.
“Damn it…”
While she was biting her lip and thinking about her words, Yurim and Yuhyeon approached.
“are you okay?”
“Are you okay, Seol?”
I turned back and looked at them.
“That…”
At that ti, another illusion appeared next to Yuhyeon’s appearance.
“Ugh….”
Sigh…
Yoohyeon’s eyes were bloodshot and she was wearing a mask.
‘That… what the hell…’
tap…
Yoohyeon tapped my shoulder and asked.
“Are you… okay?”
Squeak…
The headache gradually subsided.
The evil illusion also disappeared as if it had never existed.
“… it’s okay.”
“Then let’s get out of here.”
Yurim responded to Yuhyeon’s words.
“But where is Lian…”
“I already checked where he is.”
Yuhyeon looked at us with eyes that seed to hesitate.
* * *
We visited a mountain cabin in a remote place with Yuhyeon.
Ryan was there.
He was poisoned and foam constantly flowed from his mouth. The marks on his body showed that torture had been committed here.
“Kick… I can’t believe I died like this.”
“… Lian.”
“Listen carefully, Yoohyeon…”
Siik…
“It would be best to leave the tent quickly.”
Lian speaks tremblingly.
Yoohyeon said with a grin.
“Where does a wanderer leave here and fly to?”
“Kick… Kihi… That’s right. That… it’s true….”
Uk…
“Ugh…”
Rian’s death pained even though I had never t him before.
I quietly walked out the door and stood on the cliff
.
It was snowing outside.
It was always winter when my birthday ca.
Whenever it snows like this, I think of the past.
What were the days at the loading dock like, what was the snow on Santos’ ship like, and what was the scenery at the mountain cabin where I t Yurim again?
When it snows, everything cos to mind vividly.
Squeak…
I looked back at the sight and saw Yurim approaching.
“Isn’t it cold?”
Her flushed cheeks and leaking breath. Winter gave a nostalgic feeling.
Still, the doubts in my heart did not subside. I wonder what Lucia was trying to say and why the feeling of déjà vu does not go away.
“What… happened?”
“Actually…”
When Lucia brought up the story to Yu-rim, Yu-rim pouted her lips and said this.
“Seol-ah, actually… I’m the sa.”
“… what?”
“I have two secrets I haven’t told you. huh? “I’m sorry, are you surprised?”
“Ah…”
I tried to get over the shock I just received. Was she hiding sothing from ?
“Honestly…”
“Ahaha… what is it?”
“What are the things we haven’t said?”
Yurim told facts I didn’t know.
“That sense of déjà vu. “I have one too.”
“… what? Is that really true?”
I couldn’t believe there was soone else besides who felt this sense of déjà vu. And the person who felt that sense of déjà vu was Yurim, the girl closest to …
“It’s a little different in my case…”
“Different?”
“The faces of the managers at the loading dock… and all the people in the tent.”
Yurim placed her hand on her heart.
“Every ti I see them, this place gets cold. Should I say it’s painful?”
“…is it painful?”
“Yeah, not as much as you, but… it’s kind of painful, but… I feel contradictory and happy.”
Unknown emotions.
Yurim smiled and said this.
“You are there.”
“….”
“I have you.”
She was right.
We have each other.
“Actually, I heard about what you went through… from the labor and managent.”
“…I heard.”
My world where Yurim left.
Everyone has at least one secret they don’t want anyone to know. To , it just looks weak.
I especially didn’t want Yurim to find out about my painful past. A
soft
feeling ca over .
“….”
Yurim hugged .
I gently stroked her head.
It slled good.
“Everyone in the tent is precious to .”
“okay.”
“But you are more important than all of that combined.”
“… why?”
The ti you spent with the mbers of the tabernacle must have been longer than the ti you spent with .
“They all do it for , but if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have t them in the end. “You gave the world.”
“… ah.”
She is loved by Jangmag.
It was I who guided her to that tent.
She brushed so of the snow off her head.
“What! Oh, by any chance… do you sll it?”
“Yeah, nice sll.”
“….”
I didn’t ask about her other secret.
There must be a reason for that secret too.
Yurim blushed and sat down on the cliff.
This is where I sat.
I also sat down next to her.
“I don’t know.”
“huh? what?”
“Why is everyone so strong?”
“… Seol-ah Rian’s death has nothing to do with us…”
“No, I’m talking about this regardless of the issue of responsibility. “Your master easily defeated the opponent we struggled with.”
“… “You are strong too, Seol.”
Her words were sweet comfort.
But I still couldn’t relieve this anxiety.
“No, I… I have to beco stronger than I am now.”
“why? “Why do you want to beco so strong?”
“In order to get out of the labyrinth and et everyone again…”
“… What?”
Yurim tilted her head.
“… What did I just say?”
“Labyrinth… I think you were talking about sothing like that?”
“labyrinth?”
What a labyrinth.
Why are you suddenly saying that?
“No, that’s not it. Sothing keeps screaming in my chest. You know, do you really need a purpose to beco strong?”
“Uhm….”
Yurim said, pouting her lips.
“Master said. “You don’t necessarily need a purpose to beco strong.”
“… Really?”
“Yes, you said this instead. Ahem… we need to talk.”
“… story?”
“huh! They say all strength cos with a story. Um… So I…”
Right then.
“… you’re right.”
A voice ca from behind.
“Uh oh… surprise! Master! “You almost fell from surprise!”
Before I knew it, Yuhyeon was standing behind .
Yoohyeon smiled and said this.
“Snowfall Not all strength needs a purpose. “If there’s one thing you need, it’s a story.”
“story…?”
“Grace or ti and effort… or even the pain of loss and intense hardship.”
“… ah.”
“Everything will beco a story.”
Aiming to beco stronger did not necessarily an becoming stronger. But every strong man had a story. The story of how I was able to reach that level.
“It may be a bit far-fetched, but only when we accumulate stories that the world can acknowledge… is it possible to overco the wall of state.”
Yoohyeon smiles.
“First of all, that’s what I experienced.”
A story…
do I have a story?
‘… there is.’
Not only did I experience it at the loading dock, but I also experienced all kinds of hardships to beco this strong.
So the thod was not wrong. There just isn’t enough story.
Sigh-!
“Now, shall we build a story together?”
“Is Seol with you too?”
“of course. The topic of the story is… let’s make it about ti and effort.”
Yurim’s face crumpled.
“… Is that sothing we can agree on?”
“It’s impossible.”
“Hi…”
Yurim looked like she was about to cry. I laughed for no reason.
It was a snowy winter when I was 20.
* * *
Ti flows like running water.
“happy birthday! Seol-ah!”
As I accelerated my training, the concept of ti beca increasingly blurry.
A past where the passage of ti was counted as each painful day.
Now I’m starting to asure it not by months… but by seasons.
“Has it already happened like that?”
“Now we’re twenty-three too!”
Pisik…
Yurim seed happy to be getting older.
No, he seed like a child, happy that he was the sa age as .
There have been many changes over the past three years.
We have experienced dozens of missions.
In the process, I collided with several faces. We survived and they died.
Well, there are so people who don’t die.
The biggest reason why I, or we, were able to survive was Yuhyeon. Yoohyeon gave a new direction.
His skills were absolute.
His strength, built up through effort and belief, was unassailable.
“Don’t be impatient. snowfall.”
He told countless tis.
“In the end, all roads lead to one.”
“All roads lead to one….”
“This is the so-called truth of the intersection. “No matter which powerful person you ask, the mory of tearing down a wall will always be the sa.”
Yuhyeon’s fingers stretched forward.
“There will be light emanating from far away. “You just have to go there… it’s a simple path.”
“Master, have you seen the sa path?”
Sigh…
Yuhyeon smiled and avoided answering.
His specialty was swordsmanship, but he definitely filled in what I was lacking.
I beca stronger.
Much more than I was before.
Ugh…
“Hmm…”
Yoohyeon held out a black glove to .
“This is….”
“Happy birthday, Snowfall.”
“….”
Twenty-three birthday.
Well, it’s my birthday again.
Now it has beco natural to celebrate birthdays. Everything I received from Yurim and Yuhyeon made happy.
It seed like all these days would continue.
Did soone say sothing?
It is said that the scales of life are always level.
Clink-!
When you are imrsed in happiness, unhappiness is bound to knock on your door.
“No… no…”
Yurim trembled after receiving the letter the crow delivered.
Sigh…
Yoohyeon takes over the paper she was holding.
“… okay.”
Yoohyeon looked back at .
“Toki is dead.”
“… yes?”
