The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 139
EP.139 Ten Chiefs - Blue Dragon Secretariat (9)
* * *
The season is turning red.
The panorama of infinity is also red wherever you go, creating a strange feeling of nostalgia and bitterness..
Even though it's that kind of season, the atmosphere is still hot as if we can't forget last summer..
No, it's not that I can't forget, it's that the heat is so hot that it hardly cools down..
The final round of the Blue Dragon Secretariat has begun, and the excitement among the powerful players will not subside until the end of this meeting..
“narrow neck.”
There was a man standing in the middle of it all..
Mokriwon turned his head at the voice he heard..
Danghwaseo was standing at the entrance to the training ground, and next to him, the field leader of Maeng, whom I had met a while ago, was smiling while holding a long bundle of joy in his arms..
There was a strange look in Mok Riwon’s eyes..
That is because Mokriwon knows better than anyone else in the world what that space is..
Anyway, isn't this something you've been waiting for?.
“at las!”
“It's been a while. Mukryong. I am very happy to be able to give you this sword in time for the start of my finals..”
It must have been a long time since he completed the requested sword..
The field leader came walking..
Mokriwon also stood in front of the field leader..
“Take it.”
When the field manager opened the box, Mo Riwon's eyes widened..
“This…!”
What was enshrined in the box was a sword with a pitch-black blade..
The part that reflects light is white and the part that does not is black, and Mokriwon was reminded of the feeling of looking at the night sky..
“I'm feeling inspired. After listening to my Inkryong's swordsmanship, I really wanted to make a sword like this..”
Mok Riwon was just dazed until then..
It would be safe to say that I was bewitched..
Would it be possible to explain it if the smooth sword body is so glamorous that it looks like a seductive woman who bewitches men?.
Mo Liwon stretched out his hand with his cheeks turning red..
As he gripped the handle, a chill rose up, but it only felt like a tingling sensation, so Mo Ri-won let out a long breath..
“Let me take a swing at it.?”
The weight is appropriate when lifted..
The feeling of holding it was quite comfortable, but Mok Ri-won wondered what it would be like to swing it, so he immediately drew a line in the air..
Huh―
The sword goes straight out, tearing the air..
The center of gravity was also perfect..
The field manager looked at Mo Ri-won's face and said,.
“I feel like I made my own work.”
It was a statement full of pride and satisfaction..
*
It happened right after the field manager visited..
Although Danghwaseo was happy to see Mokriwon receiving a new sword and making all kinds of fuss, he felt betrayed at some point..
there was no other reason.
“Sozer! Look at our dark night! Isn’t the sword body so pretty??!”
Even the fuss should be appropriate, I've already been thinking 'Isn't the sword body so pretty?!' for the dozens of times..
There was more than that.
It is said that the feeling of the mouse is so soft that it feels like it will melt, that when you hold it and sleep with it at night, you can hear its voice, and even that it feels like the sword is whispering love..
…What can I do by hiding it?.
Tang Hwa-seo felt ashamed of his own pettiness, but was also jealous of the sword..
The sword that monopolizes Mokriwon's whispered love all day long feels like an enemy of Cheolcheonji..
“is it that good?”
Danghwaseo asked coolly..
Normally, in cases like this, it would have been right to look at the situation and say no..
But did Mok Riwon have that kind of insight? Absolutely not..
“exactly! I really like the dark night! Do you think this is love?!”
Danghwaseo’s expression became a little darker..
Jegalsan, who was walking down the road, said, 'Hi!' I made a noise and ran away..
Even though he has such a scary expression, how can he not be like this without being tactful?.
Mo Liwon just rubbed his cheek against the sword again..
‘Should I break it??’
Should I break my sword?.
Danghwaseo erased the thought that was passing by for a moment..
Even with cancer, it was because I thought it was too much..
If you try, all you'll get is Mokriwon's resentment..
Let's change our thinking a little bit..
Danghwaseo tried to find a way to turn the attention to me, and soon came up with a pretty good topic..
“Come to think of it, isn’t tomorrow the announcement of the finals?.”
“Oh, I see.!”
“Are you ready??”
It was a topic of conversation that could not be discussed, whether it was dark or not..
The response that Danghwaseo roughly expected was that they would do their best, so the response that came back was a bit unfamiliar..
Mok Riwon grinned..
It was a smile you only see before something big happens, and Danghwaseo expressed a little embarrassment at the unexpected reaction..
“You did it perfectly..”
perfect.
It was a word that Mok Riwon rarely uttered..
Strangely, Danghwaseo felt something called anticipation welling up inside him..
*
The next day, the bracket was announced..
The members of the Yongbongdan all gathered together and checked the bracket..
The first name I saw was Mokriwon..
“I found it! First match in the finals!”
“Yes, you've been assigned to a high-profile match..”
Hyeun added to Danghwaseo's words..
“The opening is important, right? It's only natural that Lord Mok is the most talked-about person in the entire river right now..”
“That's definitely true.”
Zhuge Shan agreed..
Although Mok Ri-won was embarrassed, he looked at the bracket closely..
Then I discovered Ilwoon's name, and the opponent seemed to be a peak warrior..
Mok Ri-won wanted to speak to Il-un right away..
But Ilwoon had already discovered his name and just had a depressed look on his face..
Why is it like that?.
Mok Ri-won was able to find out the answer only after examining Il-un's match-up more carefully..
“…Ah, next is a dance with Seonryong..”
128If Ilwoon wins in the river, his opponent in the round of 64 will be Seonryong Hyeongong..
Mo Ri-won, who now knew what Il-un was aiming for at this secretariat meeting, kept his mouth shut without saying another word..
I'm just rooting for you.
I hope Ilwoon can achieve what he wants..
“It has my name too.”
Meanwhile, Namgung Jincheon said.
Mok Ri-won turned his head and checked the end of the bracket..
Namgung Jincheon's opponent was a transcendent warrior..
But he didn't seem to mind it one bit..
Confidence appears at first glance..
“Mukryong.”
Namgung Jincheon said.
Mok Riwon looked at him..
“Why are you doing that??”
“16It's a river.”
Namgung Jincheon’s index finger pointed towards the match..
“We'll meet when you make it to the round of 16..”
As he said, Mokriwon and Namgung Jincheon met each other only in the round of 16..
“this time.”
There was something resembling determination in Namgung Jincheon’s voice..
The eyes I looked at were full of speculation..
“I won't lose this time.”
A growling voice brought back a tickling feeling to Mok Riwon..
Passing by together were words that Mok Seon-oh once said to me..
-The existence of a rival who competes and grows together is very important to a martial artist. This is true regardless of whether it is an enemy or an ally..
-Because it serves as motivation for growth.?
-Yes, in fact, the best enemy is a close friend. So, Won, search with all your might. A competitor who sees your talent not just as an object of envy or awe, but as a wall to overcome..
‘Master, I think I found it..’
Mok Riwon smiled brightly..
Namgung Jincheon was a really stupid and nasty person, but he was still a pleasant friend to Mok Riwon..
That was it, Mokriwon also knew..
I realized that my growth was at an abnormal pace that was far from the normal track..
Overtaking them all is not difficult at all..
However, Namgung Jincheon was the only man who followed Mok Riwon's pace and grew together..
“I'm looking forward to it.”
“have a cocky way of speaking.”
“I win now, don't I? As a winner, I am saying this for granted..”
Namgung Jincheon showed signs of tears..
Veins appeared in the whites of his wide-open eyes, and he didn't seem to be angry at all..
Mok Ri-won giggled and continued speaking..
“Be the winner this time.”
Namgung Jincheon’s teeth chattered..
“…Let’s see how long you can be so arrogant.”
“It won't be easy. Now I have darkness.”
showed a sword.
It was the sword that was Mokriwon's greatest pride in recent times, and Namgung Jincheon began to stare at the sword on his waist..
That too was an object made of iron that lasted for 1000 years..
An expression of contemplating something appeared on Namgung Jincheon's face..
“…It's dark, it's childish..”
He left those words and turned around to leave..
Even at that moment, the look of contemplation did not leave his face..

The opening match of the finals has begun.
From the finals onwards, only one match will be held per time slot..
And as the level of the participants was so high, the size of the non-stage itself was at a level that was completely different from before..
“Wow!!!”
crucible of excitement.
There are no words that can describe this atmosphere better than that..
Their faces were full of expectations..
The longing was just as full as the expectations..
That's what a master's dance is like..
There were many mysteries and teachings contained in a single number or a single step that passed by in an instant, and I learned something just by looking at it..
In other words, most of the warriors who came here with a small amount of money did not come simply to enjoy the dance..
Of course, there were some who came just to have fun..
“Kwak Hyung! It's finally Mukryong's first match.!”
“Yes little brother! Even this powerhouse knows it! How much importance should be given to the Mukryong Daehyup?!”
It was Wang Heo, a follower of Mok Ri-won, and Kwak Chil-pyo, the author of The Tale of Gangho Hyeopgaek..
The two men, who met by chance at a guesthouse and became sworn brothers while having a drink, were about to spend all their assets to obtain scalped tickets for today's opening match..
Expectations were that high..
What starts right away is a boring opening ceremony and speech..
After they passed, Maeng's military personnel inspected the off-stage one last time..
Only then did the dancing begin in earnest..
“It's coming up over there.!”
“oh! I guess so!”
Mok Ri-won was coming up onto the off-stage..
He is so handsome that you lose all sense of reality..
At his appearance, as usual, the women's cries filled the demilitarized space..
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa―!”
Kwak Chil-pyo was startled and covered his ears..
Wang Heo-man, who was already familiar with this kind of experience, chuckled..
“Kwak Hyung too! Get used to it.!”
Experiencing this kind of measles during the Yongbong Branch was probably the biggest factor in why he was fine..
Wang He checked the man coming up from the other side of the off-stage..
“The fire sword of volcano! He's my opponent!”
“oh… If it's that guy, I know it. Isn’t he the great disciple of Hwasan?.”
Tension began to build up inside the two people..
They were strong enemies from the first time, and as two people who had no doubt that Mok Ri-won would win, it was at a level that made the thought of 'Perhaps?' come to mind..
The surrounding atmosphere became even more heightened..
A noise that now felt like a scream swept through the entire village..
“Hey, I can win.!”
Kwak Chil-pyo clenched his fists..
Wang He also nodded his head up and down like crazy..
[Both sides! to location!]
the referee shouted.
At that moment, the unarmed became calm..
Two warriors drawing swords.
The pressure of the transcendent climax rising between them was transmitted beyond the off-stage, making it a real phenomenon..
And the next moment.
[Open (open))!]
The silence ended in a way no one expected..
Chaeaeaeang―!
There was only one thing that Kwak Chil-pyo and Wang He, who were third-rate martial artists, could know..
Mo Ri-won swung his sword, and immediately after, Hwa-geom fell to his knees..
But that was all that was revealed.
“Wow!!!”
Unarmed went mad.
