Swordmaster of the Red Light District - Chapter 239

Encounter (3)

239

Rey stood above hell and raised a sword.

Rey treads on his shadow who would have walked this hell in the distant past.

Holding in my hand a fragment of transcendence that I had never been able to reach.

By sacrificing all the rest of my life, with the power of this type of person…

He forged a sword that cuts through darkness.

Rey swung her sword.

Following the sword’s trajectory engraved on the landscape, the earth was split and the sky was pushed away.

Rei did the transcendence with her own hands, but couldn’t put a smile on her face.

Because Rey wasn’t Harcia…

He knew that even if he had covered his shell for a moment, he wouldn’t have reached the end he had met.

Each trace of the sword engraved a scar on the landscape that could be praised as a miracle.

Nevertheless, the endless darkness came like a wave and engulfed the space.

Rey kept moving forward, and then, at some point, her body began to crumble and fall apart.

The huge force that separates the earth and the sky eventually leads to the owner’s self-destruction.

Harsia controlled this power until the last moment, but Rey couldn’t.

It was devoured by his power before he ran out of power, and Rey swung his sword nonetheless.

In the distant past, he stood alone on this battlefield.

In the distant past, he stood alone on this battlefield for them when everyone turned their backs.

Although obviously there were other choices.

He raised his sword for all beings who envied him, betrayed him, and tried to crush him.

Harcia, did you end up regretting it too?

Carrying a sword alone, heading towards death alone, did you also regret it?

Rey repeated the question that could not be answered forever, and cut the huge darkness that had been covering her face.

At the same time as the huge darkness split in half, Rey’s arm, which had swung the sword horizontally, was shattered and collapsed.

Mana flowed like water from the blood vessels of the severed arm and wet the ground.

Rey’s right arm, who was left alone, collapsed on its own before long.

As Moros fell on the ground and the trail of the sword engraved in the space disappeared, a sticky darkness covered the landscape.

Still, Ray kept walking.

Mana, which engulfed the surroundings, responded to Rey’s will, becoming a blade of light and piercing through the darkness.

Ray kept trying to walk forward, but he was picky and collapsed.

My ankle was broken.

Her waist was cut, and her body collapsed one after another from the inside out.

We still had a long way to go. In order to reach the ending that Harsia had reached, she still had to go a long way forward.

But Ray was unsuccessful.

He collapsed onto the battlefield without reaching his conclusion.

Rey, the only one who moved now, tilted her head and looked up at the sky.

Terrible malice covered the skies and approached Rey.

Rey exhaled slowly for the last breath, clasping her already crumbling hands toward the sky.

The will became a blade, and the blade became a miracle, splitting the dark sky.

That was Ray’s last.

“…”

One blink of a cloudy eye.

Suddenly, the landscape changed again.

Ray looked up at the sky.

As when I first stepped into this space, black rain was pouring down from the sky.

Rey felt the popularity and turned her head.

Only the blonde hair that the woman hung over the blackened earth alone shone beautifully.

“Your end will be more terrible and lonely than this.”

The woman was so mean.

“Is that decision still unchanged?”

“I’m sorry. I regret it, but…”

Ray looked up at the sky again.

Facing the pouring black rain, Ray answered calmly.

“If we go back to any point in the past, we are not confident that we will be able to produce better results than we are now.”

Ah… Of course, the birth of that f*cking little brother was something I wanted to turn back on.

But the real smile I couldn’t give her because that child was able to present her.

Rey couldn’t resent the child any longer, but only slightly shrugged it off.

“I don’t… I don’t.”

Rey, who had giggled once with a crying smile on her face, quickly erased her expression.

“I’ll do the best I can for the rest of the time. Just, that’s all.”

It was already too late to ponder the regrets, so Rei made up her mind.

The woman looked at Rey quietly and waved her hand.

Special- Tweak-!

The landscape splits.

The illusion began to crumble, and a blue light began to leak through the gap.

The woman opened her mouth with an expressionless face as if still covered with a mask in the crumbling illusion.

“I hate to see you. Don’t come to me again.”

“…I don’t want to repeat this experience over and over again.”

A strange sense of floating lifted Rey’s consciousness.

In the field of vision that spreads here and there like paints are mixed.

Rey saw the sight of a blue gem crafted alone in the air dwelling in her body.

Rey licked her lips to ask what it was now, but her vision darkened faster than that.

Soon, the illusion completely collapsed.

In the void where all illusions disappeared, only the woman took the next step alone.

“I wish you the most foolish and terrible death.”

The woman walked past the place where Rey had been and smiled coldly.

“By your death she…”

so that I can reach places I have not been able to reach.

to achieve what I have not achieved.

“please.”

The woman walked through the void.

Shortly thereafter, the illusion was reconstructed, and black rain fell again from the sky.

In the scenery of that day, where black blood became a river and a terrible stench vibrated.

The woman sat alone on the throne and crossed her arms as if it had been the first time.

Harsia, even if it’s a distorted shape you didn’t want.

I will fulfill your wish.

‘Cause I’m a wizard

*

On both sides of Ray, the sword is realized without a medium.

The two swords emitting flashes resonate with each other and distort the space.

“…!”

Nelson clenched it.

What was happening right before my eyes was beyond Nelson’s understanding.

It was completely beyond the understanding of everyone standing here, not just Nelson.

A chill enveloped me… Is this the power of the core?

Gumgang developed without a medium… Is that Gumgang correct?

If the mass of light that emits a strange and intense flash of light is a sword, then in what state is it possible to exercise such a power?

The instructors, knights, and wizards here had firsthand experience with one of the strongest men in the Empire, so they could not understand the scene in front of them even more.

That being at the center of the barrier…

It was close to reaching the level of a Lord-class Swordmaster if you just stretched out your hand.

Even assuming it’s really conservative, that’s about it.

What was going to happen next, no one standing here could be sure.

However, I couldn’t help but watch.

Nelson had to do what he had to do, and the priority right now was to evacuate the cadets.

“Everyone get up!”

Nelson caught and roused cadets who could not balance due to the aftereffects of the simulation device.

The majority of the cadets looked at Ray with eyes full of wonder and horror, then stood up a bit late as Nelson yelled again.

At that moment, a roar rang out.

Koo-!

Some of the mana supplied to the simulation device flowed back, further overheating the catalyst and magic circle.

With all the artifacts possessed by Nelson and other instructors deployed, they formed a formation with the cadets in the center.

The wizards eventually admitted that they had failed to solve the problem and hurriedly retreated from the barrier.

Nelson grabbed the cadets by the necks and pushed them towards the entrance.

If you look at the way things go, it’s not strange at all when something like an explosion occurs.

However, the moment Nelson was leading the cadets to escape in earnest, the overheated magic circle began to silence one after another.

“…?”

profit-

Smoke leaked out of several nearby mechanical devices, and the glowing magic circle subsided in darkness.

At the same time, the overwhelming momentum emanating from Rey gradually diminished.

The two swords that had flashed in the air were also broken down into light particles and scattered into pieces.

Before long, there was silence as if it had ever been in the underground plaza where the storm had raged.

Still, no one was reassured.

At that moment, everyone was quiet, raising the tension.

Rey, who escaped the illusion and returned to reality, gasped.

“Ugh…!”

Rey, who was nauseated, poured out a handful of blood one after another.

As Harsia’s shell was covered in the illusion, the recoil created by the separation between mind and body was too strong.

Furthermore, although Rey was not yet aware of it, the core was activated during the simulation process and her body suffered a significant shock.

Rey sighed and shook her head after clearing her stomach.

Of course, Ray believed that the instructors would welcome him kindly after completing the simulation.

However, it was the tip of the knights’ swords that greeted Rei.

“?”

Seeing the knights aiming their swords, Rey wondered what he was doing.

Rey only woke up after being consumed by the simulation device as the instructors told him to.

But when I woke up, I couldn’t understand the situation at all, as the knights were aiming their swords, spitting out momentum.

Rey, who blinked, asked in a voice full of resentment.

“What are you doing now?”

I didn’t break any orders, I just did what I was told, so why the hell are you talking about?

Ray’s remorse was justified.

However, the knights could not easily remove the sword.

The overwhelming presence that Rey showed in the barrier stimulated the knights’ alertness to the limit, making them unable to help but set their sights.

Even if they did not aim their swords in advance, the knights had no means of protesting against Rey.

Nelson, who had been watching the situation, finally decided to move forward.

“Lay.”

“Ah, yes, instructor. Why are you all of a sudden?”

“You… what did you do?”

“What do you do?”

“…in the vision, what did you see? What did you do?”

“…?”

Rey, who had not yet understood the situation, spoke of the illusion she should have experienced.

“I had a battle with a group of Wild Hogs…?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Silence fell everywhere.

Ray looked around.

The eyes of the cadets looking at Rey were full of fear and wonder.

Among the cadets, Darren, who was the only sane man with Yohana, motioned for Rey to and fro.

I couldn’t figure out the exact meaning of the hand signal, but I could understand roughly what it meant you were f*cked.

Only then did Ray realize that something was wrong in the process of experiencing the illusion and awkwardly corrected the answer.

“Uh… you fought a big wild hog…?”

“…”

Nelson touched his forehead.

Nelson once asked the knights to collect their weapons.

Although the knights were embarrassed, they took the momentum and backed away.

After instructing the other instructors to get the cadets out, Nelson felt a headache and frowned.

Why the problem occurred in the simulation device of the underground plaza should be investigated in the future.

Nelson asked Ray, thinking that he should report to the upper management first.

“Just in case, I’ll ask you again… Where the hell do you belong?”

“Do you belong to Aegis now?”

“…”

Nelson had no idea what the guy in front of him was doing.

Ray made a sick sound at Nelson, who couldn’t even argue or lift more because of twilight.

“That… I’m really sick right now, can you give me a bottle of potion?”

“…I’ll call a therapist.”

Nelson let out a long sigh .
