Episode 137. The Moon Rises

I looked up at the tranquil night sky, feeling the pleasant fresh breeze.

The wind came and played with my hair playfully.

Now that I think about it, the night sky has been spread out in my mind for some time now, and it was full of stars.

Somehow the stars seem to have increased in number and become brighter.

Are the stars brighter, or is the night sky darker?

I thought maybe it could be both.

Before I knew it, a bright moon was floating among the stars that were sprinkled finely like salt.

Although it was not as splendid as the countless stars that filled the night sky, the moon’s unique soft and cool moonlight drove away the parade of splendid stars and proudly reigned as the main character of the night sky.

Well, the moon in my inner world is like a cluster of stars, so of course it has a greater presence.

The scenery was filling up one by one.

My inner world is gradually becoming richer.

If I could control the power of ice like a cold one day, I could make an ice sculpture like Tina here. Or maybe I could freeze the lake and slide around on it.

“Hehehe.”

I feel excited just thinking about it.

As I was admiring the inner landscape, this thought suddenly occurred to me.

Since this place is in my imagination, wouldn’t I be able to move around as I please?

When I asked about this, Cheonma looked at me blankly and answered in a cold tone.

[Try it.]

I raised my finger and stretched it towards the sky.

Wheeeeew-

The wind began to pick up the updraft immediately.

Her clothes were fluttering and her hair was flying.

“oh.”

Let’s see the stars move in the night sky.

I touched one of the brightest stars with my fingertips and moved my hand, and the star followed my hand and flew here and there.

“Hahahaha… … .”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

I felt happy. I felt like a god. I thought it was funny that I had been running away from Simma the day before.

In a world where I can do whatever I want like a god, what were you so afraid of that you ran away into the darkness?

Suddenly, I thought of the person who showed me this world.

If it weren’t for him, I would never have been able to see this beautiful world or even know of its existence.

The one who led me to a world I didn’t know about.

A teacher who opened a new world before my eyes.

Is this why everyone serves the teacher?

I wiped away my smile and looked at Cheonma with a serious face.

“Master.”

[What is it?]

I said, pointing to the night sky.

“I can even pluck the stars from the sky for you, Master.”

[… … .]

I picked out one of the brightest stars and snapped my fingers.

The star fell straight down, drawing a long tail.

I caught the falling star and spread my hands.

“Ta-da!”

Before I knew it, a twinkling star was floating above the palm of my hand.

“Master. It’s my heart.”

After the fire, the star slowly moved towards the heavenly horse, twinkling.

Let’s float the starlight and send it to Cheonma…

Cheonma grimaced and then slapped the star away.

Pick!

The star that was slapped by Cheonma disappeared into the distance in an instant.

“… … .”

I stared blankly at the trajectory of the shooting star as it flew away, leaving behind a sad cry.

[Enough nonsense. Look at the nails.]

As Cheonma said, I lowered my gaze and looked at the cute pond that was located between me and Cheonma.

The pond was very transparent, so transparent that it reflected the night sky like a mirror.

Double the beautiful night sky!

During that time, I felt a sense of accomplishment in boldly discarding the negative energy and gathering only the purest energy and storing it in my danjeon.

As I was happily looking at the pond, Cheonma spoke in a displeased tone.

[What are you laughing at?]

I answered with a smiling face.

“You want me to check the results of my training? It looks good when I look at it like this. The water is really clear. It’s so clear that it reflects the night sky like a mirror.”

[That’s obvious.]

“hmm?”

[Not that. Look at the moon. Can you see it?]

I saw the moon floating like a small boat in a pond filled with the night sky.

“Can’t you see, then?”

[Look closely. Hasn’t the shape changed?]

“ah!”

Only then did I realize.

The crescent moon had already become a half moon.

It was so natural that I didn’t realize it right away.

Why didn’t I notice it sooner?

[The moon has risen to half a moon.]

“What does that mean?”

[What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. Have you heard?]

“I’ve heard of it.”

[There is a hidden meaning to this. In other words, it means that when you reach the brink of death, you become stronger.]

“… …Is that right?”

[right.]

“hmm.”

If you think about it, not being able to kill someone means you almost died.

I replayed my fight with the royal knights.

Silent Victor. Manly Victor. Victor of the flaming double axes.

It was a really hot and strong article.

I think he’s the strongest man I’ve ever faced, next to Hakhan.

His left shoulder was shattered by a flaming axe.

Two seasons that I pondered over all night.

I barely managed to defeat him using Mancheonheukhwoo (Full Sky Black Rain) and Wolhwanakhwa (Moon Flower Falling Flowers).

And… Van Dyke of the iron bars. The cautious Van Dyke. Van Dyke who knocks on the stone bridge until it breaks before crossing it.

It doesn’t give you as much distance as you use a window.

A man like an iron wall who creates an invisible wall with countless stabs, preventing anyone from approaching.

When you face that wall directly, the pressure is no joke.

Unless you can somehow break through that wall and get into the gap, you will likely be defeated without landing a single effective hit.

Even if you manage to squeeze in, new problems arise there.

Despite its large size, it moves with surprising agility, making it possible to land a powerful swing instead of a stab.

As someone who has experienced it myself, let me tell you what I think… Anyone who gets hit there will go down in flames. No exceptions.

The man stronger than the manly Victor is the bridge-breaking Van Dyke.

When I think about it, it’s really a miracle I didn’t die.

How did I defeat those monsters?

It still doesn’t feel real.

Of course, neither of them used their main weapons, so that wouldn’t be their full power… but anyway, they won.

When I think about it that way, it kind of makes sense.

“So, does that mean my realm has risen from the string moon to the half moon?”

Cheonma nodded.

[Yes. Try calling out the moonlight.]

I summoned the moonlight sword that had torn apart the red giant that had been chasing me, and held it in my hand.

The moonlight bloomed without any sound.

“… … .”

As I watched quietly… … .

Somehow, I thought it resembled the soft light that was floating around Tina.

A cozy yet somehow nostalgic feeling.

It felt like a light protecting me.

In that case, it would be like Tina’s power tore the heart apart.

I held the moonlight sword and danced in front of the stars, the split moon, and the heavenly horse.

The moonlight sword shed a soft moonlight like the light she was wrapped around.

It was a mysterious night.

* * *

When I woke up, it had been nearly 20 days since the day of the decisive battle.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Shushuruta’s eyes, as bright as the night sky, looking down at me.

She looked at me with moist, worried eyes, and I said to her, who had been worried the whole time,

“… …What are you looking at?”

Those were the first words out of my mouth after waking up.

Shushuruta was so touched that he started throwing cat punches, and I exchanged greetings with those who had gathered after hearing the commotion.

Then I got a general idea of ​​the situation.

It is said that the Black Prince has officially inherited the throne and is in the process of turning the royal family upside down.

I am so moved that I almost choke up when I hear that he is a model tyrant, with dozens of people being beheaded every day.

It seems that he is planning to start with the royal domain, which is his own, and then gradually expand his territory. Judging by his actions, it will not be long before the entire kingdom is conquered.

Well… it’s none of my business whether you turn it over or not.

When I asked when the teleportation magic circle would be available, I was told that it would take some time to gather new court magicians because there were quite a few magicians caught up in it while they were busy overturning it.

As I sighed, Sir Max quickly reassured me.

Don’t worry, I’m putting all my effort into activating the teleportation magic circle as my top priority.

What can we do?

I just nodded, saying I understood.

As soon as I woke up, the black knights who had been guarding me while I was sleeping rushed in. I told them to go do their business and drove them away, leaving only four people left.

While I was chatting about this and that with the others… … .

I heard some shocking news.

It is said that the bitter cold has visited the house several times.

“when?”

“It’s been a few days.”

Walpole tilted his head and answered.

“I think I came here three or four times in total.”

Sir Ashley corrected it.

“Four times.”

I blinked and asked.

“… …What did you do when you came here?”

Sir Ashley answered this question.

“When will you wake up? How is your health? He asked various questions and then stared at Ashvan Gong, who was still sleeping, before turning back.”

… … That cold guy came and stared at me and then left.

‘Suddenly I got chills… … .’

As I was shivering with goosebumps, Ashley reassured me.

“Don’t worry. We’ve been keeping a close eye on you to make sure you don’t do anything stupid.”

I looked at Sir Ashley like that.

“But is there anyone who can stop the bitter cold from doing something foolish?”

“Huh.”

I looked at Sir Ashley, speechless.

“… … Still, I just watched and didn’t do anything else, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Are you sure?”

“yes.”

Walpole intervened.

“Sometimes, an unknown halo would appear around Ashvand’s body, and he would look at it with curiosity and ask us about it.”

Linda jumped up and down.

“That’s right! My whole body just started sparkling!”

I looked at Linda, who was fluttering her legs wildly, and asked Walpole.

“So what did you say?”

“We said we didn’t know either. Because we really don’t know.”

“That’s a great answer.”

“yes.”

I looked at Walpole, who was wearing his bandaged arm as a necklace around his neck.

“Lord Walpole.”

“yes.”

“Is your arm okay?”

Walpole said with a smile.

“No problem. They say that if you continue with rehabilitation, you will be able to swing your sword like before.”

I nodded.

“That’s a good thing.”

“yes.”

Sir Ashley asked me.

“Is Lord Ashvan okay?”

She also had bandages wrapped here and there, but she still looked better than Walpole, who had lost an arm.

“What about me… … .”

My body was still aching and letting me know that it wasn’t normal, but it wasn’t too bad.

Where is the living?

I answered honestly.

“Not bad. I think it’ll get better if you get some more sleep.”

Sir Ashley nodded.

“I see. That’s good.”

I said as I looked around.

“Bok-sil doesn’t seem to be able to see the light. Neither does the Count.”

Shushuruta, who had been staring at the wall and saying nothing until then, answered.

“Bok-sil is walking around with Prince Black.”

“Oh, really?”

Shushuruta glanced at me and gave me a supplementary explanation.

“I heard that you are using the Demon Sword and its owner very well. You always bring it with you when you stand in front of people, and you also put it in front when you are threatening nobles.”

Well, I asked to borrow the magic sword after considering even that.

“As expected from Shushuruta. They say cats listen to what you say during the day. Has our thieving cat calmed down a bit?”

“……joy.”

Shushuruta snorted and stared at the road wall.

It looks like it’s been severely twisted.

But as always, I wasn’t too worried because it would all work out on its own after a little while.

I looked at Lord Walpole and asked.

“Your Majesty?”

“The lord of the house could not leave the house for a long time, so he received only simple treatment and then returned to the estate.”

“aha.”

At this moment, the sound of several footsteps was heard outside the door.

Judging by the particularly hasty footsteps, I thought I knew who the owner was.

The door opened wide and the protagonist appeared.

He was still wearing his black clothes.

“Our hot-tempered king has arrived.”

I welcomed him warmly.

The Black Prince glared at me and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

“……countryman.”
