The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 246
EP.247 Part Three Chapters – Namgung Jincheon (7)
* * *
Mok Riwon's sword has changed.
The sword blade, momentum, and ever-changing appearance remained the same, but Namgung Jincheon could immediately feel the change..
If I had to compare it, it was like that..
If the sword until now was the sword of a strong man who overwhelmed his opponent, the sword of now is the sword of a teacher who embraces gentleness..
Are you looking at me, or are you trying to humiliate me by dragging me along in the form of a map sparring or something?.
Whatever it was, it was something that hurt my pride..
Namgung Jincheon felt the fire boiling inside him becoming more intense..
Chaeaeaeang―!
The clean sword name distracts the mind..
Anger, self-destruction, and feelings of inferiority turn everything inside out, and naturally the sword is disturbed and the energy wave also shakes..
I felt like I was drowning in water..
Even if I struggle, I feel like I'm sinking, unable to advance or retreat..
Why, what is turning my stomach so much?.
Why can't we reach transcendence? Why doesn't this sama not subside?.
My worries are reflected in my sword..
The more this happens, the more unfavorable the situation becomes..
Even if you hold the sword with all your strength, it is no use..
Mok Ri-won swings his sword again..
Tap, step and swing your sword..
Namgung Jincheon, who was swinging his sword while looking at Mokriwon and the wall, suddenly felt like everything in the world was fading to gray and white..
Also, I felt like my field of view was stretched out very long and the things swimming in it were getting closer and closer to stopping..
A sense that consciousness straddles the border between reality and dreams..
Namgung Jincheon saw a vision..
*
“You were born with the luck of a king..”
I heard that when I was five years old.
In the middle of it all, there were happy families and people from all over the world..
Namgoonghyuk was not there.
At that time, the first moment that Namgung Jincheon remembered was the Hyeolsa of Hyeolcheongyo..
“You will be able to stand higher than anyone else in the world. Your sword will conquer the martial arts world.”
Namgung Jincheon believed those words without any doubt..
In reality, his life was a great and revered life in which he moved as the stars led him..
He had never been a loser in his life.
Even if I lost a match with a master that greeted me, I dismissed it as just an experience..
As a result, my mind was at peace and my sword was always unwavering..
Namgoonghyuk said.
-Among your peers, there will be no one who can beat you..
It was a fact I took for granted..
Maybe it was arrogance.
And now that you've noticed, he added the clue, 'among the peers of a prestigious family.'.
Namgoong Hyuk might have known.
The path to the stars is the path of cowards.
The reason I didn't tell you was because I just wanted you to realize it yourself..
It's so stupid that I'm only now realizing it..
A welcome illuminates Mokriwon as it was 7 years ago..
shines his sword.
‘I am….’
Even though Jewangseong cried out for him to calm down, he trembled with a sense of defeat..
I felt miserable about myself kneeling down..
The defeat I realized on my own was so bitter..
After that, it was a series of struggles..
Looking back on my life, the before and after defeat were so clear..
After losing my arrogance and gaining despair, I finally reached this point..
Struggling with the heart of a loser, reaching the end of the peak.
And so, at this moment when we face defeat again.
The Emperor is coming.
Aim for next time.
Use it as a stepping stone for growth.
It's not too late yet.
Time is fair to everyone and talent is special only to you, so you can win if you take the steps step by step..
It was a strange whisper.
It was an arduous defeat for the silent star to arrive..
What is the purpose of saying that after keeping your mouth shut until now?.
No, Namgung Jincheon knew the answer..
‘You're planning on wielding me..’
After the first day of defeat by Mok Ri-won, there was a confrontation..
This is because the road leading to the star seemed shabby for the first time..
Doesn’t a star who is only obsessed with reaching the top and ignoring the process look so cowardly and ugly?.
The whisper that he was the one who won in the end anyway seemed to be nothing more than a loser's excuse to rationalize defeat, so from that day on, Namgung Jincheon stopped listening to the star's whisper..
Namgung Jincheon also knew..
The Emperor's failure to show the way is its own form of rebellion..
It was an expression of a wicked intention to use the owner as a puppet for nothing..
Namgung Jincheon seemed to know why he was saying this now on such a topic..
‘Were you afraid?.’
You're probably afraid of the fact that you haven't broken down yet..
Maybe you're afraid of not being able to live as a star forever..
But what can I do?.
What Namgung Jincheon wanted was not the final winner..
His target was no longer the sky.
“I'll go one more time. Hang in there..”
Chaeaeaeang―!
It's the man in front of me.
I wanted to beat Mokriwon..
Ever since the day I learned defeat, the only opponent I wanted to beat by going crazy and risking everything was Mok Ri-won..
so,
‘Shut up.’
There was no time to invest in cowardly losers..
Kwaaang!
Air waves intertwine and cause an explosion..
The flow becomes a huge air current and distorts space..
Namgung Jincheon swung his sword even more frantically..
The more it goes on, the further away the star's whisper becomes..
Namgung Jincheon took a step forward..
‘Defeat the Inky Dragon.’
To do that, a higher level is needed..
‘overcome the wall.’
It took strength to do that..
The world regains its speed again.
I add strength to my whole body while glaring at the incoming sword..
The increasingly distant star screams.
Close your ears and stare at the garden in front of you..
The relatively recent past is recalled..
Ilwoon said.
-It's okay if you just accept it. It starts from there..
Namgoonghyuk said.
-Transcendence is something that can only be achieved by going crazy..
So put your mind down.
Accept without suffering.
It's a state that can only be reached if you're crazy, so I crave it like crazy..
I look at Mok Riwon again..
Read the path, extend your sword to block, and attempt a counterattack..
Wow!!
I can only think of one thing.
What must I do to overcome that sword?.
What should I do to get over the man who has become a wall?.
‘I must go crazy.’
I just have to go crazy and glow..
You shouldn't even waste the time you spend on useless worries..
What do you have to be so crazy about??
In fact, the answer was decided from the beginning.
Namgung Jincheon was just blinded by victory and defeat..
‘knife.’
I had to be crazy about the sword.
There was nothing else to crave so madly..
“Dad!”
At the moment of realization, my daughter's voice digs in and brings out another memory..
-happily!
‘okay.’
I will swing this sword.
More fun than anything in the world.
It was the moment when I made my decision and struck down my sword..
Damn it―!
Something strange happened.
The energy wave overlaid on Namgung Jincheon’s sword froze unstable..
It shattered like a piece of glass, regenerated and scattered over the space in a blue light..
Namgung Jincheon forgot all that and looked at Mokriwon..
I attacked Mok Riwon and Mok Riwon's sword..
A smile appeared on Mo Riwon’s lips..
I dug in without hesitation and focused solely on the swordfish..
It's a mess.
The body is gradually eroded by the energy waves and becomes a complete wreck..
Blood splatters on Namgung Jincheon’s cheek. The hero's tendon was cut, his clothes became rags, and one arm was already unusable..
Still it didn't stop.
a change occurred.
Forgetting about defense and attack, the shape comes off with a swing..
Just dealing with the sword moment by moment loses form..
I entered a trance and surrendered myself to only one emotion.,
“hot…!”
A smile appeared on Namgung Jincheon’s lips..
A bright smile that he had never seen before in his life..
Damn it!
Crystallized energy waves stick to the sword..
It glowed blue and blue again and gave off a creepy look..
And it hardened.
Strong Qi (劍氣成罡)).
It is the state of capturing stars in a sword, the ultimate expression of qigong, which is said to be proof of transcendence..
Nevertheless, it was a point I could not reach because I rejected the stars..
If you can't compromise, you can only overcome, so Namgung Jincheon cut down the star himself and captured its light in his sword..
“Khot!”
didn't stop.
Namgung Jincheon swung the sword at Mok Riwon..
At that moment, Mo Ri-won also fired a jet-black sword beam over the sword..
Jeaaaeaeang―!
Fragments of the sword were flying..
What was pushed out of place.
“Haha!”
It was Mokriwon..
Namgung Jincheon trembled as he felt an electric current flowing down his spine..
I felt like I was going crazy with fun. I smiled so brightly that all my teeth were exposed..
As I did so, what came to mind was my daughter’s words..
-Baby fairy appears!
I'm having fun imitating it.
“Sword dragon appears.”
This weapon, which did not know how high the sky was, has now truly become a dragon..

Namgoongyoung’s eyes widened..
“It's a star!”
A star shone above the swords of my father and uncle..
Even though it was still broad daylight, it was a dazzlingly beautiful star..
search
It was so amazing that Namgoong Young got up from his seat and jumped up and down, laughing out loud..
“Dad is smiling!”
Namgoong Young saw his father's bright smile for the first time in his life..
Seo Ye said while stroking Nam Gung Young’s head..
“Yeah, you're finally smiling now.”
Calligraphy made my smile brighter.
‘Anyway, I'm like a kid..’
How is it that he only becomes so lively when he swings his sword? I think he's a person who can't be stopped..
Meanwhile, the unarmed people were engulfed in silence..
I was shocked that something unbelievable had happened even after seeing it with my own eyes, and I was in awe of the beauty of the sight..
Some people sighed, some shed tears.
There was no way to refute it..
New people have appeared to take the vacant positions of top 10 masters..
In the expected order, a little early.
