Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 697

◈ 697. [STAGE 40] Man of La Mancha (2)

“‘What comes next after ‘one kill’??”

a long time ago.

After learning from the teacher the keynote of Bigeom [Ilsal],.

When Nobody asked, the teacher snorted and held the bottle in his mouth as if he was dumbfounded..

“There's nothing, you bastard. In the first place, this is the only sword technique I can teach you..”

The teacher has never taught Nobody swordsmanship before..

He took away Nobody, who was blind, and taught him how to sharpen his senses except for sight so that he could live his daily life..

We only trained him physically so he could handle a knife and corrected his basic posture. And I only trained the basics until I died..

10 years like that. The first and last swordsmanship taught to Nobody, who was now able to live as a human being even though he was blind, was this [Ilshin]..

“Isn’t this a very reckless swordsmanship? Instead of being able to cut down anything, you have to throw away your own life.…….”

“Don't be weird, you stupid eyed bastard..”

The teacher, who lost his eyesight during the war and is also blind, laughed and cursed..

“There is no prosecutor who doesn't risk his or her life while wielding a sword..”

“……!”

“Your life is already out of your pocket. The moment you decide to live by eating cutlery, it's like throwing your life away. All you can do is swing it as best you can.”

The teacher took a gulp from the bottle..

“After that, it's not up to you whether you live or die. The strength of the enemy you face will determine it..”

“…….”

“If you can cut down an opponent with your capabilities, they will die. If not, you die. It's that easy.”

From the beginning, it meant that a prosecutor should live every moment with the heart of Donggwijin..

This was especially true for a blind Nobody. If he swings his sword with a clumsy mind, he will only be defeated and die anyway..

In every fight, I must kill my opponent and draw my sword with the intention of dying to move forward..

“Always fight with the spirit of ‘killing one kill’. Anyway, with your idiotic talent and poor body, you won't be able to use this secret sword properly even if you die and wake up. If you grit your teeth and just follow along, you'll be able to do the job for one person..”

Nobody pouted and grumbled..

“Someday, if I complete this secret sword?”

“That means you've found the best place to die. It means that you cut down an enemy that you normally cannot handle, by using talents that you normally cannot reach..”

widely!

The teacher slammed his old sheath on the floor and chanted in a serious voice..

“But keep in mind. A knife is a tool. it was never the purpose.”

“…….”

“Don't focus on how to cut with a knife. After cutting down, think about what you will protect as a result. Money is okay, people are okay, and at least it's okay to have crappy beliefs that can't be changed..”

slap-

The teacher threw away the sheath. Since Nobody was blind, he hesitantly took it and took it just by his presence..

It was an old long sword..

It was an heirloom inherited from a teacher who was said to be a descendant of people from the Eastern Continent, and he was not allowed to touch it..

“In the end, a knife is a murder weapon no matter how many words are used. But, if you can protect what you need to protect with that sword…….”

After casually handing over the secret sword and heirloom to his disciple, the master smiled..

“……Well, it's okay if you call it 'one life' no longer 'one life'..”

***

Nobody suddenly came to his senses..

Was darkness infiltrating my weakened heart? The last day with my teacher passed before my eyes..

The world around was moving slowly.

It was a state of extreme concentration unique to Gigam users. It was also the reason why the blind Nobody could move on the battlefield on an equal footing with others..

Nobody felt tentacles raining down from all directions and darkness surrounding the ship..

“…….”

Nobody let go of the black sword he had been using - the Dragon Slayer, made with Aipian..

‘I got caught up in the act of cutting, forgot my purpose, and decided to stop borrowing the power of darkness..

Instead, I grabbed the very old sword that I always wore at my waist..

Since joining the front line here, Ash has continued to provide me with new equipment. Every time he went into battle and broke his sword, Ash got a better sword and gave it to Nobody.

However, this old long sword was always at Nobody's waist. Nobody always carried two long swords..

A nameless sword passed down to me by my teacher..

The moment I grabbed this old knife, which was full of teeth and had completely lost its balance due to using it for too long, to use it..

“……!”

With a lightning bolt of enlightenment, I understood all the principles in the nine verses that the teacher had recited..

Nobody noticed..

‘iced coffee.’

It's right now.

Nobody held the scabbard with his left hand and the handle of the old long sword with his right hand, and slowly pulled out the sword all the way.,

Clap.

I gently put the blade back into the sheath..

next moment,

flashing……!

A fleeting flash of light lit up the area, followed by a splitting of darkness..

Not only all the tentacles, grasps, and rakes that were pouring out around the airship, but even the curtain that was drawn in front of the airship. They were all cut horizontally..

Strangely enough, none of the allies on that road were cut..

Just as this sword distinguished Fiia…….

The darkness shattered around the ship, letting out a pitiful scream. Air Ham La Mancha pierced her veil and entered the next darkness..

“omg?!”

Warlock Chain was in a shallow nightmare, and woke up, holding his breath, due to the flash of light caused by Nobody..

“Nobody?! Hey, it's okay?!”

Chain hastily crawled across the deck and approached Nobody..

Nobody, kneeling on the floor, had gray hair. The blind swordsman grinned darkly, bleeding from his nose and mouth..

“When I was young, on the day of the fall festival when I first ate cotton candy with my teacher..”

“…….”

“It was so delicious that I asked what it resembled, and he said it resembled a cloud in the sky..”

After completing the secret sword, Chain cried in front of his dying old friend. Nobody muttered in a weak voice..

“But since I don't know what clouds look like, I used to imagine things as I wanted. The high sky will be full of cotton candy. Someday, I want to go up very high in the sky..”

“…….”

“You've come this high, so what do you think? Is the whole place a cotton candy field?……?”

In the still dark sky, Chain stopped laughing..

“Yes, you idiot. It's very sweet and vibrates. Colorful cotton candy everywhere.”

“haha. This is my lifelong wish come true…….”

Nobody's breathing became weak..

“Rather than a sky that is always dark and pitch-black, a sky full of cotton candy of all colors... … I think it'll be prettier.”

“…….”

“That kind of sky... … Even a guy like me, Jiji…….”

I'm speechless.

Nobody was breathing anymore.

Chain grabbed his dead friend's shoulder tightly while holding the knife, and then looked back, gritting his teeth..

After barely overcoming one hurdle, the next darkness was pouring down like a waterfall in the next darkness..

Just like an old friend, he also helped the rest of his colleagues… … to protect the world.

Chain shouted and activated his ultimate ability, turning into a huge dark giant and catching the waterfall with his body..

***

Kuilan patted his swollen belly with his hand..

“Oh, stop giving me food, bro! I can't eat because my stomach is full..”

“What does he mean? All that's left are bones and skin.”

One sunny fall day. Valley with clear water.

Kuilan's older brother, Kureha, was constantly grilling food in a hut built next to the valley..

“If you're coming to see your brother after a long time, you should gain some weight. Hang in there. Because I'm baking dessert pie..”

“Do it in moderation, bro... … If I keep doing this, I’m going to become a real pig.…….”

Kuilan held his full stomach and yawned profusely. He ate so much that he became drowsy..

The sun is warm and the wind is cool.

If you lie down on a mat like this and take a nap, what could be more pleasant?…….

It was just when Kuilan was starting to doze off..

flashing……!

A flash of light flashed in the distance..

It was a beautiful color produced by a sword that risked someone's life..

Kuilan's eyes, which had been drowsy after eating a lot, opened wide. Kuilan quickly got up from his seat..

“I have to go.”

“huh? Where? What to do?”

“to save.”

Kuilan clenched his fist and made a noise between his teeth..

“To save Yoon.”

Then Kureha chuckled..

“This guy, I finally found someone I like.?”

“……huh.”

“what kind of person are you?”

“It's a human woman. Very bold, sharp, and, um... … He said he liked me. a lot.”

Kuilan, who hesitated, spoke honestly..

“Actually, I was afraid. Getting close to someone. Connecting with someone.”

“…….”

“I'm afraid I'll lose him like I lost my brother. I'm afraid I'll develop another weakness when I'm already weak.…….”

After losing someone precious, I was afraid of experiencing the same pain again..

I tried not to love someone.

But in the face of Yun's unyielding barrage of affection, Kuilan eventually opened his heart..

“Actually, I missed you too.”

Kureha smiled as she brought out a freshly baked pie from the hut oven..

“A future where you get married, have children, and live happily ever after.…….”

“……brother.”

“But it's okay. Even though I couldn't see it in person, you saw yourself like this... … Just hearing that there was someone I wanted to save by sacrificing my body and soul. happy.”

Kureha picked up the pie and stuffed it into Kuilan's mouth..

“You're doing well on your own now, my little brother. Okay, then go quickly.!”

“…….”

“Leaving the girl you like to someone else to find, that kind of thing.…….”

Kureha winked slyly..

“It's so uncool?”

Kuilan swallowed the pie in his mouth in one go and smiled..

“That's so true, bro..”

Kureha raised her fist. Kuilan raised his fist to meet his brother's fist in the air..

“I will live happily until my stomach explodes, even to the extent of my brother’s share..”

“Of course it should be. Go, my miracle.”

The older brother in my memories smiled brightly..

“now… … Be a miracle for the person you love.”

Kuilan nodded loudly and turned back..

and…….

***

《Pfft……!》

Lunared, who barely came to his senses from the flash of light caused by Nobody, hurriedly got up from his seat..

《Out of shape, just in the dark... … lose consciousness…….》

I was just not in my best condition. Lunared couldn't understand..

《Why? I took away this perfect body, so why is it not working out the way I want it to?…….》

Lunared, who was shaking with anger, belatedly noticed that her body was moving against its will..

The right arm was raised upward, above the clenched right fist… … A dark red energy was swirling and rushing in..

That dark red energy is…….

《what?》

Wolf's Curse.

It was the curse itself that turned Luna Red into a werewolf and the Maple Clan tribe into beastmen..

A virtual 'vessel' was created in the air, pulsating like a heart, and the wolf's curse that escaped from Kuilan's body was swirling and rushing into it..

《What on earth is this??!》

Starting from the right arm closest to the bowl, the silver-red hair and hypertrophied muscles fell out, and it began to change into the appearance of an ordinary human..

In an instant, the right half of the body changed from a wolf to a human appearance..

And with the right face completely restored to human form - Kuilan said:.

“There is something I learned while fighting on the front lines, King Seonjo..”

《……?!》

“The martial law you passed down is powerful and subversive, but it is a little different from the direction I pursue..”

Kuilan chuckled. Luna Red was shocked..

“Even though it's like this, I'm a bit of a delicate type. Should I say that I felt the need to lower the power a little and increase the detail?.”

《No way, you, from the beginning……!》

“In order to grow further as a martial artist, in order to complete the form I desire, I need you... … If possible, it was necessary to fully learn the Wolf's Curse and then remove it cleanly..”

Now, not only the right half of his body, but most of his body has changed into that of a human. Luna Red was rapidly losing control of his body to his original owner..

“So I gave it a try on purpose..”

《You! How dare you use me?! Don't be funny! I think I will quietly disappear like this-》

“I'm sorry, but my brother already taught me how to get you out for good..”

Kuilan has inherited the power of the tribal god..

I was able to apply the 'vessel of curse' spell that Kureha showed me..

From the beginning, Kuilan created a small 'vessel' to prevent it from being completely eaten by Lunared, and used the part where the curse escapes as a breathing hole, looking for an opportunity to take over the body again..

Quaaaaa!

A 'vessel' pulsated above Kuilan's right fist, condensing all the curses on Kuilan there..

《Stop, descendants! Once you take the wolf's curse away from you, what's left??!》

Luna Red shouted urgently..

《you… … He becomes nothing more than an ordinary human being with a weak, glass-like body! You will never again be able to unleash the same beastly destructive power as before! Then what value is left to you?!》

“What makes me who I am is what I think and what I do..”

Now there is no trace of the wolf anywhere except part of the face..

Kuilan clenched his right fist..

“I am still a member of the Danpunglang tribe, a representative of all beastmen, and a member of the World Defense Front.…….”

A shy smile appeared on Kuilan's lips..

“Yoon's man.”

《you……!》

“Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. Thank you for working hard for future generations until the end..”

《you bastard-!》

Lunared was speechless..

The stance of the Maple Fist that Kuilan slowly prepared was significantly different from the one he had created. no…….

‘It's improved?’

Not like a wolf, but like a human - everything was trimmed to fit..

So that you can use it without having to borrow the power of the wolf anymore..

So that anyone, not just a prisoner, can learn and practice without relying on curses... … Without losing that basic principle. But it had a gentle and peaceful red color..

《This… … What?》

“It's a maple ticket..”

Kuilan, who stepped through each stance one by one and reached Oh's single-minded storm stance, responded..

“new generation.”

《……Haha, hahahaha!》

Light Lunared shouted loudly..

《Now you are no longer a 44-year-old writer, kid.!》

Kuilan wondered if this evil ancestor was going to declare excommunication..

but it wasn't.

《You are the new master of your martial art.!》

In an unexpectedly refreshing voice, Lunared acknowledged Kuilan..

《Go. Damn descendants. Beyond me, beyond my clan……!》

Luna Red's final words flowed into Kuilan's ears as he blinked in surprise..

《In a new era, go wherever you want to go!》

Eventually, everything, even the last curse, escaped from Kuilan's body and was transferred to the 'vessel'..

“after.”

Kuilan took a short breath and looked straight ahead with his golden eyes flashing..

Next, a curtain of darkness was approaching right in front of the airship. Kuilan took his stance and prepared..

The most powerful weapon that can be used only once in a lifetime, burning all the curses and blessings in one's body..

“super).”

No longer bound by the first form of the past,

Past resentments, past sorrows, all overcome)-

“Single-hearted wind storm)-!”

I changed my mind and pushed forward with a new sense of wisdom that I pioneered on my own path..

On top of Kuilan's improved martial arts, all the wolf curses taken from his body and Nightmare Slayer burned like fuel, adding to his power..

Whoa whoa-!

Dazzling red autumn foliage exploded, creating a huge hole in the veil of darkness..

“Wake up, Yoon.”

Kuilan whispered, filling the dark sky with his colors..

“It's morning.”
