#Epilogue 03. Swordsman Cheongil

#Epilogue 03. Swordsman Cheongil

Cheongil has been honing swordsmanship for a long time, inheriting the legacy of the monks. He swung his sword when others were immersed in his studies, when he was playing, and when he was experiencing a heart-pounding love affair.

All he had was a sword.

Studying swords, enjoying swords, and dating swords… even if it wasn’t for the sword, I cherished it while imagining it becoming a beautiful girl. Eventually, he came to the labyrinth city to pursue the priest who betrayed the monk.

– Homos*xuality? If you want to be like me, come cut down white people.

-What does Lina like? assassination!

– Run! These bastards are bastards who only give biscuits for every meal!

And I became involved with the Black Mountain Society. By the time I noticed, I was already so deeply involved that I couldn’t escape. Eventually, he entered the Black Mountain Society and became an assistant in numerous events that would change the times.

Siege of Brahms.

kingdom war.

The pirate army is also a normal war.

In-depth assault.

The final battle with the Old Gods.

There were only five major events that none of them could be considered ordinary. It is a remarkable achievement that is often called a hero in the world.

He has the strength commensurate with his achievements, and has proven himself that he is not a party member A on which he rests.

So, at the end of a period of hardship, he arrived.

Sword God.

To the highest level that those who walk the path of swordsman can’t help but yearn for.

However, there is no law that says effort and achievement are necessarily proportional.

Now the sanctuary of the sword god is empty.

It’s even less popular than the reverse harem rookie Kuro.

‘Strange! That’s weird!’

Cheongil was nervous.

Was the promotion not working properly?

But prosecutors are mostly men.

Unlike women, men go to a destination unconditionally. There is no reason to build a sanctuary in the middle of downtown.

Even if a female swordsman walks the path of the sword, at that point, his patience is already nurtured to the extent that he can easily exceed that of a normal man. There is nothing wrong with visiting the sanctuary.

However, the sanctuary of the sword is not located on the cliff of Heaven and Earth, nor does it have a meandering lava path in front of it.

‘It’s just an outlying area!!’

Early on, he decided that it would be beneficial to save on publicity expenses and purchase training equipment, facilities, numerous swords, and various skill books. So, the place to build the sanctuary was selected in a moderately sparsely populated outlying area.

Until then, he was full of pride for the future. Since the sanctuary of the sword had entered, I thought that the price of the surrounding land would also rise rapidly, so I purchased the nearby land.

However, there are very few believers who visit the sanctuary, and there has been no movement to open shops, workshops, or training centers nearby.

‘It must have been the best weapon for the master to the point of being called the king of black panacea…’

In this labyrinth city, where dozens of absolutes, hundreds of supreme masters, thousands of supreme masters and tens of thousands of first-class masters abound, why are there so few people who use swords?

Cheongil went to Wilhelm Meyer to find the answer. With a bitter expression on his face, he replied immediately.

“It’s useless.”

“Yes!?”

“The sword is useless.”

It was an assertion like a blue sky.

“No, that sword is good. like. Good.”

“It’s not good.”

Wilhelm Meyer is the most powerful person in the world and the supreme ruler of the current labyrinth world. There is not a single individual stronger than him at the time, and it is questionable whether someone stronger than him will appear in the future.

When such a person asserts that the sword is useless without a single thought, Cheong-Il is captivated by a great sense of shame.

“Oh, I’m sorry. The expression was a little bad.”

“Am I still wrong?”

“Before deciding whether the sword is good or bad, the efficiency is terribly bad.”

In the end, it was said that the sword was bad.

Cheongil groaned.

“It’s that swordsman! Do you usually say that in front of the person involved?”

“Didn’t you ask first?”

“Yeah, though! Anyway, please stop the sword hate!”

“It’s not hate. Personally, I have no regrets about the sword.”

“Is that true?”

Wilhelm Meyer frowned. I felt my blood pressure go up as the dark boy came to me in the morning and frowned. Chong-il, realizing that his mood was getting dirty, quietly shut his mouth.

“There are many weapons in the world, and among them, the sword is the weapon most often involved in legends and myths. Do you know what that means?”

“It’s famous! I’m thinking of collecting all the legendary swords and mythical swords one by one as a collection in the temple!”

“Wrong.”

He did not view the sword as optimistically as he did.

“The large number of Legendary and Mythical swords means that swords are nothing more than worn-out remnants of the old days.”

“Old fashioned…!”

“Well, from the point of view of you who use a sword, it must be a story that will make you angry. Yet this is true. Even the swordsmanship used by the powerful who once dominated the world, is not now all the swordsmanships and sects monopolizing them.”

“This is the best way to keep the vision and safely inherit it from predators.”

“Your logic itself is not wrong. But now there are exceptions.”

“What?”

“Martial arts and summoning techniques are popular.”

Cheongil waited for the next word.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Wilhelm Meyer said nothing.

“Is that the answer?”

“Yes.”

“Shit! Isn’t it too far-fetched to say that you can’t gather believers even if you become a sword god because you are behind the trends of the times? If something is lacking, you can fix it. How the hell do you fix a fad?”

Wilhelm Meyer was bored.

“What do I know? Swordsmanship is a perishing martial art, and the sword is a perishing weapon. If you go to a remote village where you don’t know the fashion and learn a sword, you’ll give me food and try to entice me.”

“!!”

Cheongil was surprised. It was because he suddenly realized something from his words.

“Come to think of it, my master said that he and I had picked up the priest from a remote village.”

“Since I’m old, I must have known that business wasn’t going to work. Even when we weren’t there, Brahm’s mainstream martial arts were spears, not swordsmanship.”

“Ugh. Is there really no way for swordsmanship to revive? It’s so sad to see that you have reached the top on the Sword Path, but there are no followers to follow, so you lose your sanctity in a lonely way without divine power.”

When a god cannot periodically supply a certain amount of divine power, he loses his divine prestige little by little. If the loss of divine prestige exceeds a certain amount, it loses its divine prestige and its status as a transcendental person is lowered.

Still, it is called a demigod, and although it has a potential comparable to that of a god, it is inferior to the god itself.

At best, no one likes being a god and falling into a demigod.

“I don’t have anything. If it were you, would you learn the martial arts that the Demon King used during his human days and has proven its worth widely at the corps level? Or would you like to learn swordsmanship that is not very conspicuous and has no value.”

“Of course it’s swordsmanship!”

“Then I think there are a few percent of the adventurers who have a minor taste like you.”

Ching-il only muttered, but didn’t say anything.

“Stop admitting it. Swordsmanship was destroyed a long time ago. You are just the strongest among sword enthusiasts who practice swordsmanship with love.”

“I can’t admit it! I don’t want to end my life as a god like this!”

“If that’s the case, then you too have no choice but to become a giant.”

Wilhelm Meyer responded to his subordinate’s concerns quite seriously.

“Criminals fall when they hit a wall, and extraordinary people bypass it. However, the giant neither shuns nor sinks. They just lift their feet and break the walls.”

“!!”

“Do you understand what I mean?”

“understand.”

“Then I have nothing more to tell you. Go and do what you can.”

Wilhelm Meyer thought to himself. If he invents and spreads swordsmanship that surpasses Caesar’s fighting skills, or becomes a giant enough to defeat Caesar with a one-on-one sword, there is a possibility.

It will take a lot of effort, but the effort of Sino-Japanese is not normal. Didn’t he persevere like crazy among the talented worms who get stronger by 30% of the previous day every day?

There is no way that Sino-Japanese talents can be compared to those of genius or god-like talent. With genuine effort and extreme patience, he has built up the strength to stand with everyone.

“At that point, I will have no choice but to admit it even if I hate it.”

A guy who works hard doesn’t like it.

Let’s hope a little bit.

Wilhelm Meyer internally cheered for Korea and Japan.

* * *

a week later.

Wilhelm Meyer heard some rumors.

“You say swords are so hot these days?”

“I couldn’t help but admit that that little thing has grown so big.”

“You have to see it for yourself.”

From NPC minions to gamers, whenever and wherever there are three or more people, the story of Sino-Japanese has emerged. It seemed that he had made an effort close to self-denial.

Wilhelm Meyer felt a little shrugged. It was thanks to the fact that such a guy was my subordinate, and had something to brag about.

“There are minions.”

“Ugh! I will see you instead.”

“I want to visit the Sino-Japanese shrine. Guide me.”

The minions guided him without hesitation.

The Sino-Japanese temple was located in the same location as before.

It was also proof that he overcame the crisis with skill rather than luck.

Even the temple has a hole in the ceiling.

It looks like he smashed the ceiling while sharpening his sword.

If you look closely, the hard floor ceiling is also slightly smashed.

“boss! I was going to come see you, but I’m glad.”

“Were there any results?”

“Yes! Thanks to this, the number of giants entering swordsmanship has increased.”

huh?

It’s a bit absurd, but maybe the giants like swordsmanship.

Wilhelm Meyer did not dwell on trifles.

“It’s a rare outing. I want to see the demonstration.”

“All right. Please follow me this way.”

It seems that he has honed a special move that cannot be performed arbitrarily if it is not in a designated place. He must have invented a sword that was strong enough to defeat Caesar’s Martial Arts, but I wondered what kind of sword it would be.

“Ahhh!!”

As the Qing-Il cheered, the giant crowd gathered around them exclaimed, “Oh, oh!”

“It has begun! It’s big swordsmanship!”

Is it a swordsmanship that unfolds with infinite strength? As I watched with a pounding heart, Cheong-il’s body suddenly seemed to grow bigger. It’s not like it’s because of my mood, it’s really getting bigger.

Jumping over 10m and 20m, he became a giant that almost destroyed the 50m-class world at once.

“???”

Earl was lost and stared blankly, but Cheong-il pulled out the sword held by a nearby giant statue and showed off his powerful swordsmanship. As if the air were torn apart, a pounding sound sounded, and the whole world vibrated violently.

Gwagwagwang…!

With a roar like a wall, a large sword defiantly scraped the ceiling of the labyrinth. The audience cheered enthusiastically.

‘Shake. You’ve become a real giant.’

Not a figurative giant, but a real giant. But that appeal is paying off for giants.

“I didn’t know that a giant wielding a sword would look so exciting!”

“I thought it was a toothpick-like weapon, but the bigger it is, the better it looks.”

“Wielding that large weapon will also be a practice.”

After the demonstration ceremony, Cheongil approached with cheers from the giants.

“How are you, boss?”

“Uh… that’s impressive.”

“Thank you for a good look. I will continue to strive to become a giant who can trample on bigger walls without forgetting the boss’s advice.”

Stop it, you crazy bastard.

If you go further there, the labyrinth will collapse.
