Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 914

914====================

True empty hometown

Mangryang is dead…?

” ……”

I was momentarily shocked by Zhuge Liulong’s words.

Does that mean that Mangryang reached his limit by sending me to this deep place of Geumodo, and died immediately after sending me? Mangryang himself said that he would die only a few days later, so I couldn’t help but be shocked by his death.

But I soon responded to Zhuge Liulong’s words.

[ I won’t go back. ]

[Don’t do anything reckless. You are now in the innermost part of Geumodo Island. Even returning will cost you your life, and if you go through an even more dangerous situation inside, you will never survive.]

[ ……]

[Get out of Geumodo Fortress right now. Quickly.]

Zhuge Liulong’s words were logically correct. Originally, I had planned to return with the power of Mangryang’s Pacheonilwolseon, but now that Mangryang had died, it was safe to say that I was trapped in Geumohdo. Just returning would be a life-threatening adventure, so from the perspective of a strategist, Zhuge Liulong told me to give up the egg in Geumohdo in order to reduce further danger.

I understood what Zhuge Liulong said, but I had no intention of bending my mind because of that.

[Mangryang said. You must obtain the egg of Geumodo.]

[I wouldn’t have asked you to bring it if I wanted you to die.]

I gritted my teeth.

[ That may be true. But… if what I last heard was Mangryang’s will, then I must keep his word. ]

[That’s stupid. Come back now.]

[ I won’t do that. ]

[ ……]

After confirming that my will had not changed, Zhuge Liulong spoke after a while.

[Okay. Then I will devise a plan according to your wishes.]

[Really?]

[Promise me instead. Whether you get the egg or not, you will definitely use this strategy and escape the fortress.]

[Okay, what should I do?]

[If there is an egg of Geumodo within the territory of the Holy Mother of Gold, the Holy Mother of Gold can move it out of the way. The method is…]

I slowly listened to Zhuge Liulong’s plan and thought about it carefully.

[ indeed.]

The only way I could think of was to use force, but there was a method like this!

There was no doubt that Zhuge Liulong was one of the greatest strategists in the world.

I started to move according to Zhuge Liulong’s plan.

I left the area where the Virgin Mary was and returned to the location where I had first arrived, and called out to Dongcheon-gun loudly.

“Dongcheon-gun, Dongcheon-gun!! Come out and see!!”

After a while, Dongcheon-gun appeared using his teleportation technique at my shout, and he spoke with his eyes sparkling.

[Why, but Woncheongun. Did you find something?]

“Yeah. I found the place where the rat-like guy disappeared earlier. But there’s a problem…”

[ What’s the problem? ]

“It seems that that place is the territory of the Virgin Mary of the Gold Mines. The Virgin Mary of the Gold Mines told me to return, and I can no longer find her.”

[ Hmm… ]

Dongcheon-gun let out a sigh and said.

[ It can’t be helped. It might not be something worth digging into her territory to find out… ]

“Well, you see, I have a plan.”

[Huh? A good idea?]

“I picked up the thing that human child dropped earlier. Look at this.”

I quietly took out the Yicheon Sword from my bosom and held it. Then, Dongcheon-gun, who saw the sword light of the Yicheon Sword, was startled and said.

[ Oh… Ohhh…!! What a huge sword!! What is that?]

“I don’t know for sure, but I heard that kid is called the Yi Cheon Sword.”

[ The Sword of Heaven!! Isn’t it the best sword in the world?! Can’t believe it actually existed…]

“Do you know it well?”

[You’ve lived in the human world for quite some time, so you’re pretending not to know? Hmm… It seems like you’re also quite interested in that sword.]

Dongcheon-gun’s eyes met mine. I smiled back and said.

“Yes… Actually, I know everything. That kid probably has many treasures other than the Sword of Heaven. That’s why I have to get it even if the Holy Mother of Gold gets in my way.”

[ Is there any way? ]

“It’s a matter of pushing forward. If we take you, me, and two or three more people and ask the Virgin Mary to step aside, she won’t be able to do anything.”

[Do I really have to go that far…?]

As Dongcheon-gun’s eyes wavered, I spoke as if driving a wedge into his words.

“How stupid. Why would the Holy Mother of Gold not even think about looking for humans and just endure it? Of course, she wants to monopolize that human child and eat all the treasures.”

[ No, really? ]

“It’s clear that he’s acting all ignorant. I’m the same way.”

[ Hmm! Good. Then I will call Soncheon-gun and Jangcheon-gun. ]

Beep –

When Dongcheon-gun let out a strange whistling sound, Soncheon-gun and Jangcheon-gun appeared in the court a while later. Dongcheon-gun explained the situation to them, and Soncheon-gun and Jangcheon-gun also looked very greedy when they saw the Uicheon sword that I was holding.

[ It’s a great sword…]

[ Woncheon-gun. You don’t plan on keeping that sword just for yourself, do you? ]

I said with a shrug.

“Of course not. That human bastard must have more treasures. I’ll kill him and help divide them fairly. I’ll also hand over the Heavenly Sword later.”

[ Ohhh…]

[That’s cool, Woncheon-gun.]

They cheered me on and I walked ahead and said,

“Okay, let’s go!!”

I led the three of the ten thousand soldiers and came back to the Holy Mother of Gold. The Holy Mother of Gold frowned when she saw us.

[ You guys… What are you thinking? Why did you come here? ]

When I winked at Dongcheon-gun, he shouted loudly.

[Golden Virgin Mary! Are you hiding a human child? Get out of my way immediately! Don’t monopolize his treasure.]

[ ……]

The Virgin Mary had a look of absurdity on her face, but soon Son Cheon-gun and Jang Cheon-gun also raised their voices.

[Get out of the way if you don’t want to get stabbed!]

[ Suspicious!! Virgin Mary of Gold! ]

[ What, what did you say? ]

The Virgin Mary seemed to be getting more and more embarrassed. After a while, she looked around with a cold look in her eyes and said.

[Do you know why I guard this area?]

[ I don’t know though! ]

[Because it is an order from the previous leader of the Tongcheon sect! Trying to intimidate me into stepping down is no different from going against the will of the previous leader. If you still dare to attack, I will gladly deal with you.]

Shudder

Everyone looked surprised at the words of the previous sect leader. At the same time, the 10,000 soldiers who came without any particular reason and just out of greed for treasure began to hesitate. I quickly intervened when I sensed that the situation was not going well.

“Golden Mother! Then let’s do this. I will accompany you and look around for a while, and if that person is not there, I will retreat cleanly. What do you think?”

[Do you really have to do that? I swear I haven’t felt anyone hiding here.]

“If you cannot accept it, we will continue to doubt you… but you will be ostracized by us for thousands of years to come.”

[ Ugh…]

The Holy Mother of Gold seemed to be in great distress. If they attacked her head-on, she seemed prepared to fight to the death, but if we were to exclude the worst case scenario, being hated by nearly half of the Ten Thousand Army would be a great loss for her.

The Ten Thousand Army were evil beings who were ready to stab each other in the back whenever they had the chance. This was also a matter directly related to her survival.

The Virgin Mary had no choice but to nod her head.

[Okay, Woncheon-gun… Follow me.]

” okay.”

I began to explore her territory alone with her. When I got close enough that the other ten thousand troops were out of sight, I asked her a question.

“I don’t understand. We are free to act as the Ten Thousand Army, but the Great Leader gave you such an order and tied you down?”

[ Yes. ]

“Why did the leader give such an order?”

[I don’t know. But no one can enter here.]

” ……”

It seemed that Jin So-cheong had obtained the egg earlier due to greater coincidence and luck than expected. Even though it was something he had obtained by chance, if it was something that one of the Ten Thousand Army would risk his life to protect, it could not have been obtained by mere coincidence.

I entered the intimate corridor with the Virgin Mary of Gold, and after a while I could see that the corridor was blocked. I asked curiously.

“What? Is the road cut off?”

[ From here on out, I can’t go in either. This is because the area was sealed by the leader himself. If you look closely, you can see the seal that the leader himself placed there.]

I looked at the wall with the Hwaan Geumjeong. Then, I could see that thousands of ominous spells were densely engraved, and that there were multiple strong barriers. I thought as I looked at the sight.

‘It seems that the old Jin So-cheong broke the seal with force and obtained the egg.’

I thought about it carefully and then said.

“I see. It’s the seal of the previous sect leader, so there’s nothing I can do! Then let’s go back now.”

[ Are you convinced? ]

“Okay. I won’t argue any further. I’ll convince the rest of you.”

[ Great… Don’t bother me anymore. ]

It was the moment when the Virgin Mary of Gold turned her head and was about to go back.

‘Now is the time!’

When I realized that she had let her guard down, I quickly raised my sword at close range and, in an instant, stabbed the Golden Light Saint Mother in the back with a swift sword filled with will.

Pushup

[ ……!!]

The Holy Mother of Gold shivered greatly as if she had been hit hard. I swung my Heavenly Sword horizontally to strike her down, but I couldn’t feel the tip of the sword. Before I knew it, she had automatically activated her magic and teleported, and the Holy Mother of Gold shouted in an angry voice from afar.

[ Inom, Woncheon-gun!! How dare you ambush the 10,000-gun! I will never leave you alone… Kough.]

Jiiing

The Golden Light Formation of the Holy Mother of Gold tried to activate, but it only flickered faintly and did not activate properly. The one blow from the Heavenly Sword was so great that the Holy Mother of Gold was put in a critical condition in an instant. In the end, the Holy Mother of Gold lost the will to fight me and ran away in a hurry.

Swoosh

As the Virgin Mary’s presence disappeared, I looked at the wall in front of me with cold eyes.

Then he breathed all his spiritual power into the Yicheon Sword and swung it like a hammer.

Kwakwagwang

The fight

The glass in the passageway shattered and there was a loud crashing sound. Beyond the shattered glass wall, there was a dark space, and I strode into it. Since there was no light, I couldn’t see anything, so I groped around for a while before I felt something touch my fingertips.

“This is it.”

I picked up a round egg. Perhaps Jin So-cheong said, “picked up” at that time because she found it while groping around in the darkness like me. As soon as I picked up the egg from Geumodo, I put it in my wooden box and thought.

‘So far so good…’

Now the problem is getting out. However, since Zhuge Liulong had also given me advice on this method, I started the next action without worrying.

“I offer my spiritual power as food.”

After muttering, I cast the summoning spell.

“Come, you beast of the other world!”

Pfft!!

When I first learned magic from Jegalsa, the demon I had contracted with was immediately summoned to me. As soon as I summoned him, I climbed on top of him and gave a spell.

“Let’s go to the real world!”

Squeak!!

“Kuaaa …

Quagmire

After a while, I fell from the sky with terrible pain, and fell hundreds of sheets, and landed on the ground. Since I hadn’t drunk alcohol, I had to endure the super-light speed with my bare body, and even though I protected myself with my yin yang and self-defense skills, I was completely crushed. My whole body ached and trembled from the pain as if I had been stepped on by a giant hundreds of times.

“Kuluk, kuluk, kulraaaaa…”

Damn… This is why I didn’t want to use this method!

Originally, you had to drink alcohol to survive the shock of crossing dimensions when you got on this demonic spell, but since I didn’t have any alcohol, I crossed the dimension boundary halfway through. Since I almost died, I decided to get help from Mangryang and come back safely rather than using this method.

However, when I saw the blue sky of reality, not the blood-red sky of Geumodo, my mind was at ease a little. I somehow managed to obtain the egg of Geumodo and return to reality. After barely getting up from my seat, I used my flashlight to return to my base.

“You’re here.”

Zhuge Liulong and several of his colleagues were waiting in the waiting room. And on the large bed surrounded by them lay the body of Wang Liang.

” ……”

Is he really dead…

It didn’t feel real. I felt like crying, but I managed to hold it back and say.

“Mangryang. I brought you an egg…”

There was no answer. Then, Zhuge Liulong, who was sitting next to him, spoke in a calm voice.

“With this, the treasure collection is almost over. Now, what we need to do is to offer all of this to obtain causality and overcome the flood.”

I couldn’t stand it any longer and called him.

“Zhuge Liulong.”

“Why is that?”

“Isn’t it sad? Your son is dead…”

Zhuge Liulong’s expression did not change at all in response to my question. He spoke with a calm face.

“Both he and I knew that a day like this would come someday. It is an unavoidable fate as I work by your side as a strategist. If it were an unexpected death, then I would understand, but if I had always been prepared, wouldn’t it be an insult to him to mourn in a clumsy manner?”

” … That’s not what I meant. Mangryang is dead…”

I said, biting my lip.

“Don’t you hate me? Don’t you even say a word of resentment?”

I came here prepared to hear murderous intent and resentment from Zhuge Liulong and Zhuge Fu. It was only natural for them to resent me, since Mangliang died while giving his all for me. However, not only Zhuge Liulong, but also Zhuge Fu sitting next to him was indifferent and showed no change in emotion, so I was actually embarrassed.

Then, Zhuge Fu, who had been in the body of a woman, spoke in a slightly higher voice, mockingly.

“Hatred and resentment. You have already taken that from us. Who in this world can be angry and discuss death in front of you?”

” ……”

“To be honest, I didn’t like Hyun that much. I hated and detested him. But that doesn’t mean I don’t care that my blood relative died. After all, we were brothers…”

“Zhuge Fu.”

“Then will cursing you make me feel better? Of course not… because reality doesn’t change anything.”

After saying that, Zhuge Fu continued speaking while touching Wangryang’s hand.

“Don’t ask us for forgiveness because you want to be comfortable. That’s cowardly.”

“……!!”

I opened my mouth to say something in response, but I didn’t know what to say. So I closed my mouth again, and Seo Mun-hye said.

“Mr. Baek Woong.”

She slowly approached me, hugged me and said.

“Overcome your fate. That’s all we expect from you, Baek Woong…”

fate…

I couldn’t help but chew on those words.

‘Is there really such a thing as fate?’

If there is such a thing as destiny – does that mean that it was my destiny from the beginning to go against God?

Is that really true?

Is it also fate that Mangryang died?

But I didn’t think about it any longer and just stood up. Then I picked up the Pacheonilwolseon that was lying on Mangryang’s body and said.

“I’m going to see Cheon Woo-jin.”

To get rid of the uncertainties of my fate as Mangryang had wished and find a way to move forward.

That would be the only thing I can do for Mangryang.
