Defeat Nangong Se-ga.

There were a few things to consider in this operation.

First, civilians should not be killed.

Second, Nangong Se-ga’s warriors should not be killed. But if they attack us, we can use force to subdue them.

Third, we must obtain the evidence Nangong Se-ga possesses.

That’s it.

The first one is obvious.

The reason Nangong Se-ga is under attack in the first place is because he forced civilians to join the fight by claiming he found something.

The second is the most important justification. Killing them and starting the fight is different from discovering the evidence and attacking.

The moment the third issue is resolved, there will be unrest inside Nangong Se-ga, and the second problem will be solved as well.

“What’s wrong?”

Nam Hye-rin scrutinized my expression.

“Nothing’s wrong.”

Nothing’s wrong.

The principal desired Nam Gung-se’s faults.

Their faults were scattered all around, but the government would probably mention achievements worthy of them.

But do I really care about that?

However, there’s Yoo Eun-chae.

The principal knows that Yoo Eun-chae knows something.

‘The easiest way, too.’

Yoo Eun-chae smirked.

But that doesn’t suit his temperament.

‘And there’s a method.’

A method to expose their faults directly.

I’ve heard Yoo Eun-chae’s method.

But it’s not a good one.

‘Taking the long way around for no reason.’

I pondered upon Yoo Eun-chae’s method.

I believe my method is the most certain.

So, I broke through the main gate.

Seon Woo-hyun, Shin Yoo-ra, and Yoo Eun-chae were looking at me with incredulous expressions.

“…What on earth are you doing!”

Before Seon Woo-hyun could say more, I acted.

Thunk!

The door shatters. Carrying a wooden sword on my shoulder, I move forward.

Confused gazes surround me.

“It’s okay.”

A weapon can be crafted at any time.

Nam Gung-se-ga’s family head.

I could tell when I saw him. What kind of power he had wielded.

And.

How fatally it could act, I know.

“If there’s a problem.”

Something I have to fill with my own body.

Nam Gung-se-ga’s family head was impressive.

A master of the highest order.

Reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship, a solitary and outstanding existence.

“In contrast, I…”

My body is currently far from normal.

Physically, a top-class physique.

In terms of mana, at its peak.

And mentally.

“A transcendent being.”

In the local dialect, someone who has transcended or ascended.

From my previous life onwards, everything I realized in my past life.

I have fully embraced those things.

That’s why I am strong.

If they are like those who share a similar state as mine, I will undoubtedly win, and even if they are a bit stronger than me, I have confidence in winning.

But there was a problem.

What he possessed was a bit of a problem.

Saegong.

Martial arts considered as a scholar among martial arts.

From Noble mtl dot com

Because it devours the vital energy possessed by a living person.

A person who loses their vital energy slowly withers away.

And what he had hidden within.

“He has hidden something very interesting.”

Swaggering.

I walked forward.

Seon Woo-hyun and the children of Cheolhyeol Sword Clan, Han Yoo-rim and Han Joon-seok. And even the swords of Cheolhyeol Sword Clan followed me.

The atmosphere of looking at me in astonishment.

Yoo Eun-chae was no exception.

At first, she seemed bewildered, but soon she calmed down.

She was speaking with her eyes.

“I’m sure there’s something, Master, something you’ve done.”

Nam Hye-rin is the same.

After a month of intense training, she mostly came to believe whatever I said.

She pondered with a sword on her shoulder.

The method of breaking through Nam Gung head-on.

And there was only one move for avoiding an attack straight from the family.

‘Imperial Sword Formation.’

I’ve decided on you.

*

Imperial Sword Formation.

It contains the earnest desire of the inspector who wanted to encompass the sky.

It captured the azure sky of spring, the vast sky of summer, the clear sky of autumn, and the lofty sky of winter.

And it captured the Four Gods.

The sincere intentions of the gods known in the martial world as spirits performing roles under the name of the Four Gods.

That’s why the Imperial Sword Formation suited Nam Hye-rin.

‘Because she can handle spirits.’

A gift given by Yoo Eun-chae, the ability.

After the sword, I think it was called the Sword After.

The moment I heard it, I thought it suited her very well.

“Otherwise, I had no choice but to make them understand forcibly, like me.”

I could suppress it with force, but Nam Hye-rin couldn’t.

However, by utilizing the talent of a sword master, she could control the spirits.

The sword technique that can only be used by controlling the spirits.

That’s why there are few people who can learn the Emperor’s Sword Style.

It is a sword technique, yet not a sword technique.

Thud.

I took a step forward. The ground split open like a spider web.

“Hoo.”

I breathe.

I survey every aspect of Cheonan. Distinguishing between civilians and warriors.

“More than I expected.”

Nothing special.

There is only one influential figure directing the scene, but that’s it.

I raised my sword.

Kukugugung!

The presence of the Emperor’s Divine Sword was behind me. An unprecedented power was present.

My solar eclipse.

The Heavenly Blue Emperor’s Sword.

Kuwong!!

The blade of the wooden sword constantly circulates, moving without pause. Circulation and unbroken connection.

The foundation of the Imperial Sword style, everything.

The sword’s power roars, sending a thrilling sensation up the wrist.

The power of the spirits imbued the sword.

What I did was simple.

Lowering the sword.

‘Not sure what you’re searching for to move so swiftly.’

Seon Woo-hyun and Yoo Eun-chae acted as if they had to stop it no matter what.

If they act like that, there must be something extraordinary.

“The item must not fall into the hands of Nam Gung-se.”

“Absolutely should not go to Nam Gung.”

Recalling their earnest plea.

“Uwaaah!! Everyone, run away!!”

“No, there’s a better way!!”

“Darn it, everyone, be prepared!!”

Chaos everywhere. Can’t I control my strength even a bit?

The corners of my mouth naturally rise.

Cheongje swung the sword.

Quaaang!!

A massive roar echoed. Simultaneously, the form of the Emperor disappeared.

My hands still tingled. The aftermath of using the unfinished Celestial Green Sword with an incomplete body.

“Well, I guess this is fortunate enough.”

In the case of Nam Hye-rin, it takes at least three days of rest to return her body to normal.

Thud.

I moved forward, breaking necks.

The acrid dust. And the noise and commotion.

“Huh, what? Why am I perfectly fine? Didn’t that Divine General attack me with his sword?”

“Call for reinforcements immediately!! The enemies have invaded!!”

“We sent the signal, they will come soon!”

I move along with the sound. Quieter than anyone else.

I hold my breath. Slowly, I entrust the energies within me to nature.

The wind, the earth.

They show me where the enemies are.

“One minute! They will come in one minute… Click!”

“Everyone, stop! Strengthen our defense first… Click!”

I take down all the seemingly unharmed ones.

After taking down about fifteen, the sand and dust began to settle.

“W-What is this…”

“You’re the one in charge, right?”

The face that I said would regret a little while ago appeared right in front of my nose.

“What did you say to me earlier? Did you advise me to stop what I’m doing if I want to live quietly in Korea? If you don’t want to regret, that is.”

“Well… that…”

“Make me regret it quickly.”

“S-Sorry… *gulp*.”

He pressed his foot firmly against the stomach.

Whether he was the responsible party or the chief, the guy writhed in agony, making clattering noises.

Ah, maybe he’s not the chief.

Even if Nam Gung-se had deteriorated considerably, someone with this level of incompetence wouldn’t become a chief.

People who determine the fortunes of prominent families may lack strength, but when it comes to being a chief, they usually possess a reasonable level of martial skills.

“So Nam Gung-se is somewhat formidable.”

As I was having such thoughts, Yoo Eun-chae approached me.

“Oh, you’ve already captured the chief.”

“…Is this guy really the chief?”

“He’s definitely fast. Suppressing the chief in just one encounter. Anyway, we need to torture him to find that ‘thing.’”

“Why torture him?”

“Huh? Aren’t we torturing him to discover Nam Gung-se’s ‘thing’?”

“Is there something more certain than that?”

“…Is there something more certain?”

Seon Woo-hyun and Yoo Eun-chae focused their gaze on me.

“Are there others more certain than that?”

“They’re coming from a distance. The disciples of the Iron Blood Sword Clan are trying to avoid it, but the swords are being forced upon them.”

“Probably ordered to. Those guys are absurdly naive. Even in the midst of this chaos, they’re the ones who would follow orders.”

Sunwoo Hyun looked at me and said.

Thunk!

I swung my wooden sword because I didn’t like the way he looked.

“Hey!”

“Well, should I knock some sense into you?”

“…Ugh.”

Looking at Sunwoo Hyun, I turned my gaze to the cave-like place.

There was a commotion there.

‘Appearing in just one minute?’

It seemed like we, or someone, had some anticipation that they might be attacked.

People with swords rushed in.

Each had a flag tied to their backs, written as Changcheon Peak and Cheonryong Peak.

“Changcheon Peak and Cheonryong Peak. Seems a bit challenging.”

“Well, I’ll take care of half of Changcheon Peak.”

“If I join forces with the Iron Blood Sword Clan, we can somehow block Cheonryong Peak.”

“In that case…”

Sunwoo Hyun’s eyes turned to me.

Whether I liked it or not, I turned my eyes to the other side.

‘He looks dangerous.’

Nope.

If it’s just this much, I’ll manage somehow even if I have a hard time.

I gazed at Sunwoo Hyeon and his gang.

“Sunwoo Hyeon.”

“What is it?”

“You take care of Changcheon High. If you act up, there won’t be any casualties or serious injuries.”

“……Wait, are you serious?”

Before I could answer, I prepared to leap.

An intense aura was emanating from the entrance.

‘This won’t do.’

The others will manage somehow.

I only taught them for about a month, maybe a week, but I didn’t teach them half-heartedly.

Yoo Eun-chae wouldn’t just stand by and watch Sunwoo Hyeon’s power diminish.

‘Right?’

He knows how to distinguish between work and personal matters.

It’ll be fine.

“Hanseojin!”

Kwoong!

A powerful lion’s roar that makes the ears feel stuffy. It’s infused with tremendous skill.

With something peculiar.

“As expected.”

I smiled and moved forward.

I’ve had a lot of thoughts since coming here.

Should I show him my swordsmanship, or just beat him with my fists?

The satisfying feeling of pounding with my fists.

Swordsmanship isn’t bad either.

It’s a convenient martial art to use anywhere, but it’s the skill of the most exceptional wielder among all weapons.

But there’s something even more satisfying.

“A sword.”

Overpowering with a sword.

I discarded my wooden sword.

They say it’s made from some kind of special wood, boasting the strength of a steel sword.

“It’s a bit unsuitable for fighting that.”

I looked at him.

His physical energy is excessively inflated. His steps are a bit awkward. It’s subtle, but anyone who has reached this level can notice.

It’s like a forced elevation of status.

Qi master.

It’s the level where everything has to be aligned, but there’s not just one way to achieve it.

Making a deal with the devil, or forcibly taking power from others to inflate one’s own physique.

As easy to crumble as those guys from the next wall.

Just a bit of disgrace can make a name for oneself in the martial world.

With just that, clashes arise, and there are those who don’t care even if the village disappears.

And he is the latter.

“Did you betray our Daenamgung family for trusting in just one Imperial Sword?”

“Your voice is too loud. Claiming we attacked, acting like scared rabbits.”

“You won’t live a peaceful life.”

Growling like a beast.

“I really want to return those words. How much did you plunder in replacement for our monthly tribute? It seems like you devoured dozens. It hasn’t been that long since we met, right?”

“…I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“Well, I guess you can say that up to that point.”

Martial arts or magic. Reaching the pinnacle with those is, above all, an intense pleasure.

That’s why there were many who lost their humanity.

However.

Corruption is a different matter.

“You made a pact with a demon. The stench of them is so strong, it wrinkles your face.”

…”

Namgung Gaju’s expression hardened.

As if he expected me not to know.

“Gaju-nim!! We’ll join forces too!!”

Behind Namgung Gaju, about thirty warriors were lined up.

They bore flags with the emblem of Brain Sword Sect on their backs.

It felt different from the swords I had seen earlier; it was on another level.

If that sword were to be unsheathed, Seon Woo-hyun or Yoo Eun-chae could get hurt or even killed.

“I have to stop it.”

I glanced at the other side.

The ones who declared they would step forward the moment Namgung Sae-ga’s flaws were exposed.

“Trusting them would be fine, but…”

There’s something I want to test.

The eternity I possess.

The newly acquired attribute.

“You! Dare to touch us and pay the price!!”

The Brain Sword Sect charged towards me.

Gaju was guarding me as if to assess my skills.

“Even at a time like this, he only seeks his own safety.”

Seems like the previous Head Gaju made a wrong judgment.

Hwa-ak─!!

Energy began to rotate rapidly, almost reaching the point of breaking near my heart.

The circle engraved with the Martial Arts of the Moon and the Sky turned vigorously. The part engraved with the Creative Flame overlapped with the Martial Arts of the Moon and the Sky, activating to the extreme.

《Unique Attribute: The eternal mana possessed by the Eternity is bestowed upon you.》

The eternal attribute overlaid my magical attribute.

I reached out one hand towards the Brain Sword.

Moonlight Ice Heaven.

As if an azure orb resembling the moon lingered above my hand.

Ice Heaven.

The ice orb of destruction that could be called the essence of Moonlight Ice Heaven.

“Ha, using magic against us!”

The one who appeared to be the swordmaster of the Brain Sword pulled out a shield.

A blue shield.

The anti-magic property resisting the power of magic felt faint.

From Noble mtl dot com

Regardless, I prepared my magic.

Ice Heaven.

The essence of Moonlight, freezing everything.

Here, I infused the power I had newly acquired.

《Unique trait, Eternal Activation.》

The blue orb transformed into a single flower, like a lily crafted from ice.

Eternal Ice Heaven.

Immediately after, a blue light erupted in all directions.
