The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 263
EP.264 Chapter 2 - Stars and Snakes (6)
* * *
According to legend, it takes a thousand years for an Imoogi to become a dragon..
It takes a long time to relieve evil thoughts and worries, build up practice, and embrace good energy..
That was the normal process of ascension, and the Imoogi in the cave was like that..
“I am voluntarily delaying my ascension..”
“Why??”
“Only you may know the exact reason. However, if I were to guess the reason, it would be a hassle..”
“hmm?”
“Before he accumulated good karma, he was more evil than anything else..”
Dan Ji-seon told the facts he knew..
“Heaven can only be reached by meditating and denying that one belongs to evil. But how could the process be easy since you lived as the center of evil? Even if you have already gotten rid of the nature of death, you will still feel guilty about the past. Only by feeling that can you reach a level where you can ascend to heaven. And this weapon is definitely at the level of ascendancy. It means that there is trouble inside..”
It was like an old story..
“No one knows how he got rid of the Cheonsal Castle. However, it is certain that an accident occurred during the process. Moobaek Lee. Don't you know the name??”
Mok Riwon’s expression darkened..
After all, isn’t he the one who knows the truth about Lee Moo-baek better than anyone else in the world?.
Lee Moo-baek was originally a citizen. It is said that he was tainted with evil and took on the name of the Heavenly Demon due to the karma he had borne, but in essence he was a man who was infinitely close to a commoner..
According to the memoir left by the founder of Seongnyeon's faction, he screamed in agony until the moment he died..
A life lived to die.
Lee Moo-baek’s life can be summarized like this..
“The purpose of this weapon was the annihilation of a thousand generations. However, that failed, and Cheonsalseong found a new owner. Three times since then. Heavenly Death has become a huge tribulation and has shaken the world..”
While we were talking, we came within a short distance of the cave..
“Couldn’t his agony have something to do with it? Isn’t the last bad karma that must be cut off in order to ascend to heaven related to life? That's what you guessed. Of course, this is irrelevant now..”
Standing tall, Dan Ji-seon’s steps stopped..
He calmed his eyes as he faced the entrance to the huge cave..
“Our purpose is one. Since he is the author of the Great Law of Reversal, he must also know how to reverse the Great Law. Shouldn't he figure it out??”
It was something I couldn't hope for..
Mo Ri-won looked at the entrance of the cave like him, knowing that a way to remove this mortal enemy had finally arrived..
The energy is now strong enough to press down on the entire body..
The intimidating feeling created by the intertwining of Seongi, Yeongi, and Nature Guardians is enough to make one think that the transcendent warrior is nothing... If I were to make an analogy, it could be compared to the energy of Lee Seon, the Heavenly Demon whom I met in the war seven years ago..
Mo Riwon’s gaze pierced into the cave..
It's not just about looking, it's about sending your will..
It was that moment.
[Come just the two of us.]
I heard a voice ringing in my head..
It was different from the previous sound..
It was a method imbued with a transcendental art that was one level higher than that..
“…narrow neck.”
Danghwaseo asked in a tense tone..
Mo Liwon nodded..
The two mentioned by the voice I heard.
I wasn't so clueless that I didn't know who it was..
It will be just yourself and Danjiseon.
“Teacher, what are you going to do??”
“It's a flash of lightning. Serve Moonju here..”
“honorary name.”
Seom-roi lowered his head, but Danghwa-seo didn't seem to understand at all..
Because it's really embarrassing from her perspective..
“It's suspicious. I have been visiting this area for several years, but I have never seen a cave like this before. I guess….”
“I just didn't have the ability to see this, right??”
Standing tall, Danghwaseo stiffened at Dan Ji-seon’s words..
Mo Liwon sighed..
“The fluttering ends there.”
“Small cooperative!”
“I've already met him once. I don't think there will be much danger..”
It wasn't just reassuring words..
Actually, the Imoogi there was not hostile to Mok Riwon..
On the contrary, it would be correct to say that they are reluctant to approach..
In the past, they said they didn't want the distance between them to narrow, so they kicked them out and even closed the door..
Mokriwon took a step into the cave..
I didn't feel the same repulsive force as before..
“I'll come back.”
The new forms of Mokriwon and Danjiseon were swallowed up in darkness..
*
I already knew how far I had to go through the cave to reach the Imoogi..
And I knew that the darkness of this cave would be lifted by the Imoogi's wisp..
In anticipation of the scene that would unfold, Mokriwon became more nervous..
But even that wasn't enough.
The moment he entered the huge cavity, Mokriwon held his breath..
“Did you come?.”
Grumbling!
A voice is conveyed by voice, and what is revealed beneath the blue will-o'-the-wisp light is a human shape..
He was a handsome man with characteristic vertically slit pupils..
A black dragon robe, long black hair that reaches its feet, pale skin due to not being able to see sunlight, and slitted eyes that are reminiscent of those of a snake..
It is a human shape.
Mok Ri-won, who already knew who he was, couldn't help but be embarrassed..
“Daehyeop, calm down..”
Dan Ji-seon said.
“Although it is still on the ground and is called an Imoogi, its power has already reached that of a dragon. That level of transformation is nothing..”
Despite his words, Mok Riwon could hardly calm down..
My breathing was that hard. This is because the moment I made eye contact with the Imoogi, all my senses were sharply awakened..
“I know what I came here for..”
Imoogi said.
“But I can't tell you anything. Because leakage of vital energy is a taboo,.”
Dan Ji-seon refuted the indifferent words..
“However, it is not a taboo for me who reads the chronicles..”
“In that case, leave a thousand years behind and come..”
“It must be heavenly energy that surrounds him, so how can we remove it??”
“Even so, we cannot reveal the will of heaven..”
“then….”
“step.”
Imoogi interrupted Dan Ji-seon’s conversation..
His eyes sank serenely..
“If you prove it, you will realize it yourself.”
It was an incomprehensible word..
This was especially true for Mokriwon..
The vibrations of such force that take my breath away are enough to make me grit my teeth..
His words are full of frustrating rejection, and I feel a thousand dollars inside..
“What do you want to prove??”
The voice naturally becomes fierce..
This is the tribulation he caused in the first place..
In that case, it would be right for us to take responsibility ourselves, so how can we continue to do so without knowing?.
Mo Liwon’s sword was pulled out fiercely..
The Imoogi stretched out its hand toward the air with an obviously calm attitude..
Tsuzuzuzu―
Black scales extend from his palms and take the shape of a sword..
What followed was a relaxed posture with shoulders slumped..
The Imoogi's gaze was aimed precisely at Mokriwon..
Mokriwon realized.
Just standing tall without doing anything.
However, that is the attitude of Shingeomhapil, which pursues the extreme of sword righteousness..
No, it's over that..
Only Mokriwon knew..
‘celestial life.’
If you see the end of Salo, led by the Heavenly Death, you will definitely be able to take the same posture as that..
From that stance, you will be able to unleash the sword of heaven and earth, and you will be able to unleash a murderous sword that rips through all vital points..
Then I realized.
The sword that Cheonsalseong tells us about was his sword in the first place..
“Heaven's will regarding the law of the stars, the heavenly signs of the stars, and all other matters of destiny..”
The Imoogi took a step forward..
At that moment, the Imoogi was already in front of Mok Riwon’s nose..
“Prove it. That you are qualified to handle it yourself.”
thud―!
Mo Liwon’s body was thrown away quickly..
Dan Ji-seon’s eyes widened as if they were torn apart..
Imoogi said to Dan Ji-seon.
“Perm, don’t disturb me..”
The Imoogi's hand touched Dan Ji-seon's head..
Dan Ji-seon took a deep breath..
‘formation…?’
No, it is a segmentation of space..
A tactic that is far superior to the basic method..
Taoism? Illusion? It probably spans that area.
What is certain is that spirit energy as a spiritual entity, not natural energy, is the basis of this division..
Dan Ji-seon became unable to move even a single step until the Imoogi was released..
“…What are you aiming for?.”
“not aiming for anything.”
“For something like that, it's too much for my hands..”
“It's not excessive. It is appropriate to have no shortcomings, so just check it with your own two eyes..”
The Imoogi’s eyes turned towards Mokriwon..
He was croaking and exhaling..
The eyes were brightly burning.
Imoogi scored one.
‘You've grown.’
It deserves points for not getting caught up in emotions and spitting out anger like before..
But it's not enough.
“come.”
When I raised my scale sword, a black energy wave appeared above it..
This weapon imitated human martial arts..
He confined his career within the framework of swordsmanship, exactly at the limit that Mok Ri-won could reach..
Because there was something that could only be confirmed that way..
“Prove it. That you deserve to overcome your fate.”
And so I rebelled against the star..
“Show me that you can completely achieve transformation..”
The new form of the Imoogi has become blurred..
This time too, the destination was right in front of Mokriwon..
bang!
The swords aimed at each other's vital points at the same time..
