Chapter Index

    At best it was probably an ant.

    At most it would have been dust.

    To that simma with superhuman strength, I would have been nothing more than that.

    That arrogance.

    The carelessness that he would not have had if he were a swordsman was holding him back.

    “Profit…!!”

    The momentum that was captured by accurately piercing the gap did not change easily. Sima was being pushed back by the sudden attacks of the Sword Saint.

    He tried to use a strong attack to somehow catch the lost momentum, but Geomseong did not miss it.

    Even if the opponent had the power of the Sword Saint, the person in front of him was also the Sword Saint.

    “Inhale!!”

    The Sword Saint’s sword flashes with low energy. At the same time, Sima’s sword bounced up and the sword star’s long legs stuck into her abdomen.

    -Cow!!

    A sound that did not sound like something a person would make when kicking came out of Simma’s body. The Sword Saint swung his sword in pursuit of Simma, who was thrown away by the force, and a powerful red energy burst out from Simma’s body, which was screaming in pain with a face distorted.

    Hongseong Shingong self-defense style. Sword wall.

    However, the Sword Saint, who destroyed it in one blow with Hongseong Shinkong’s great sword style, stretched out his fist, and dozens of blows from the fist struck Sim Ma’s body in an instant.

    “Yerin…”

    It was a difficult voice. The Sword Saint’s fist stops at that voice. Sima, who had suddenly changed her appearance to the black-haired woman from before and the Grand Master of the Sword Saint, spoke while bleeding.

    “Are you planning to kill me again…?”

    It was an attack that shook the heart of the Sword Saint. It was an attack that made her hesitate.

    I saw Geomseong.

    If I get pushed back here, I don’t have an answer either.

    Geomseong stopped his fist and stared at Simma.

    “…I’m sorry. Ambassador.”

    -Suddenly!!

    Hongseong Shingong Swordsmanship. Cool wind.

    The powerful herbivore used when dealing with the new Black Lotus was used to blow off Simma’s arm as he prepared to attack.

    “Aaaaa!!”

    A scream rings out. Geomseong, who was staring at it, walked slowly. Now, it seemed impossible for Simma to defeat her anymore.

    “…Are you really planning to kill me? Me again…?”

    Geomseong sighed towards the crying woman. And then, briefly, he saw me.

    “…What Master… wished for is coming true.”

    Simma did not answer.

    I just quietly look at the Sword Saint.

    “…That person is helping.”

    “…so.”

    “He is a good person.”

    Even though she knew that what was in front of her was her Simma, Geomseong was smiling warmly as if she was talking to her family or to her real sister.

    “This is the person who told me about my shortcomings.”

    “I see.”

    “And… I let you know that if I stay like this, I might lose the precious people outside again.”

    “…You are a good person.”

    “…Yes. And.”

    Geomseong, who looked as if he was about to say something, only slightly pursed his lips, smiled faintly at Simma.

    Seeing that smile, Simma closed her eyes, returning to the form of the Sword Saint instead of the Sword Saint’s Grand Master, and the Sword Saint placed the great sword on her chest.

    -Hook!!

    It was a blow. Simma’s body, with its chest pierced, turns gray and slowly disappears.

    Sword Saint, who had been staring at it briefly, approached me and sighed.

    “Really. Every time I thought it was too much, I said it was okay.”

    “If it’s like this… hehe. Isn’t that okay?”

    Although my left arm was broken and I suffered internal injuries, my insides were also crushed.

    That’s pretty good for blocking a blow from an enemy with the strength of a swordsman.

    Of course, I feel like I’m going out of my mind because of the pain, but whining isn’t the solution to the current situation.

    Geomsung sighed and placed his hand on my chest.

    “I’ll take care of the inside for now. It may hurt a bit, but please bear with it. And don’t do this again. I thought my heart stopped.”

    A powerful force rushes in like a tidal wave and sweeps through me. Is it because it hurts somewhere else? I didn’t think it hurt that much.

    The 30,000 times that Yujeong said may be correct. I can’t think about anything because I’m sick.

    “Can you wake up?”

    My left arm felt a little sore, but I was still able to get up.

    I stood up holding Geomseong’s extended hand and saw Hongseongmun Gate slowly falling apart.

    I guess it was right to go through this secret area to defeat Simma.

    Geomseong watched Hong Seong-moon starting to gradually turn white. In that light, one by one, they disappear while smiling.

    Her teacher.

    her private residence.

    Her sister-in-law.

    Her samaega.

    And her disciples.

    I could see him melting into the Sword Saint, not in death, but in life.

    “Honestly, I was confident.”

    “Is that so?”

    “…Actually, the moment I came here and met Simma, my confidence dropped.”

    It’s not that I don’t understand. It must have been the most terrible trauma for the Sword Saint.

    What’s more, when you have to fight and win against an opponent of the same level as yourself, you sometimes lose momentum.

    Also, no matter how you gain momentum, if you try to block it like you did earlier, you may not be able to attack even if you know it.

    “But you did it, right?”

    “…Haha.”

    Geomseong looked at the sky. She shook her head as she stared at the sky that was gradually collapsing.

    “To stop my simma, I asked for help from the people within me. But it wasn’t easy. No, rather, Simma took advantage of it.”

    The easiest way for Sword Saint to defeat Sim Demon is to the power source at Hongseong Gate.

    He uses the teacher, Sasuk, Samae, and his disciples as sacrifices to catch Simma, and gathers his strength until the end to defeat Simma.

    If he did that, as long as Simma had the same power as the Sword Saint, he was bound to win.

    But will that work?

    In the beginning of the story of Heavenly Moon, Sayun, she died to protect her students.

    She wanted to protect her people to the extent that even the Iron Blood Order decided that the only way to capture the Sword Saint was to use Hong Seong-moon’s disciples.

    She sacrifices those she wanted to protect for herself?

    Even if they were illusions, it would have been impossible for the Sword Saint.

    As she said, Simma would have created a gap for the Sword Saint by taking the weak ones as hostages.

    “I know. It’s kind of stupid. Still…”

    “I have no intention of blaming you.”

    A smile appeared on the lips of the Sword Saint. At the end of her gaze was my left arm.

    Geomseong stared at it and muttered with a sullen expression.

    “You should have given up on me. If I had, I wouldn’t have been so hurt… Jae, isn’t that fun? Don’t make that face. Haha… I guess I’ll have to learn more jokes in the future.”

    Silence continues.

    The white light was getting stronger. A gate announcing the passage of a secret area appeared behind us, and it was now time to leave.

    “…Aren’t you curious why I trusted you?”

    The white light is getting closer and closer.

    Geomseong, who was staring at it, slowly turned his head.

    Her eyes, dark and deep, were piercingly staring at me.

    “My teacher, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sisters-in-law.”

    “……”

    “People I couldn’t protect.”

    “I see.”

    “My disciples. People I have to protect.”

    A faint smile appeared on the corner of the Sword Saint’s mouth.

    “But you are different. Although you are the person I must protect…”

    A hand slowly reached out and grabbed my hand.

    A hand comes up and caresses my face.

    “A person equal to me.”

    “……”

    “A person like my better half who did what I could not do.”

    “Uh…”

    “A person who seems like we can accomplish anything if we work together. And, in the end, the person who made it happen.”

    This is the atmosphere.

    “That’s why. A good person who can only be trusted and trusted.”

    “Wait a minute. Sword Saint. I am not the one who came from within you… Eup.”

    Sword Saint’s hands grab my face, and her face gets closer.

    Lips that touch just like that.

    Small, soft lips touched mine.

    The raised tip slowly lowered, and Geomseong placed his hand on my chest.

    “I want you to walk with me.”

    “….”

    “The person I like. That’s why I trusted you.”

    “…uh.”

    “Of course, I would hate for you to get hurt.”

    “……”

    “…Because you said you could. But please don’t do this next time. Please.”

    Geomseong gently pushed me away and headed toward the exit. I thought to myself as I watched her getting further and further away and the surroundings turning pure white.

    Is it Hong Seong-moon’s characteristic to kiss first when confessing?

    When I came to my senses, I saw Geomseong sleeping comfortably.

    I put the heart scripture in my hand into my pocket and smiled at Yujeong who was looking at me.

    “What… did you do?”

    “It’s nothing special. It seems like the Sword Saint has stabilized a bit…”

    “That’s how I see it too.”

    I squeezed and opened my left hand. As the apprentice said, the wounds suffered in the Sword Saint’s image had not occurred.

    by the way…

    I looked down at Geomseong.

    I was dumbfounded to see her sleeping peacefully without knowing what was going on, but thinking that she must have been very tired in the process of overcoming her mental illness, that feeling quickly subsided.

    “Master!!”

    The time I spent inside the Sword Saint was quite long, but like last time, outside it was only a moment. Is that why? Hongseongmun’s disciples, unable to bear it after hearing the maniacal laughter of the Sword Saint, began to come inside.

    “Guest guest! What about Master?!”

    “You’re feeling much better. I think you will probably overcome your feelings…”

    Although the Sword Saint defeated Simma with a single blow…

    Should I consider this as helping or not?

    In the end, we will find out after the Sword Saint awakens.

    It will take some time until Geomseong wakes up.

    Since it didn’t seem like there would be any particular problem, Chaejin and I decided to go back to the guesthouse.

    “If the Sword Saint overcomes Simma, will he become one level stronger?”

    “Well… I’m not sure about that. Probably not?”

    “It’s surprising that someone who seems to know everything says he doesn’t know.”

    “I don’t know everything either.”

    Chaejin smiled bitterly and sipped her tea.

    “My father would be surprised if he found out.”

    “Doge will become stronger too. Don’t worry too much.”

    After returning to the guest room after chatting, I headed to my office.

    While I was there reading the documents and burning the pipe, I sighed.

    Thoughts of Sajedeopbap and other things keep popping up in my head.

    Anyway, I thought Geomseong liked me too.

    “Um…”

    …I guess I have no choice but to work harder.

    Looking at the job, which was one of the ways to work hard, I picked up the documents.

    ruler. Let’s work.

    I started before midnight and continued until the stars rose high in the morning, but the work did not slow down.

    Still, after finishing the work I had to do on my way to Hongseongmun today, I opened the window to light a cigarette.

    I saw a woman with dark blue hair wandering around in the backyard.

    She was startled when our eyes met, hesitated, and then spoke cautiously.

    “That. Can I talk to you for a moment?”

    I don’t know if I have overcome my mental illness or not because nothing seems to have changed.

    I went downstairs, faced the swordsman who seemed to be no different, and asked.

    “How do you feel?”

    “Well… I’ve become a little more free in handling Gang-gi… but I still feel very uncomfortable. Will it get better with time…”

    “Let’s wait and see. Still, if I became comfortable with handling strong energy, I think I would have overcome my mental state.”

    “I hope so.”

    I nodded towards her, who was staring at me with an expressionless face.

    “Anyway, thank you for your hard work. But shouldn’t you rest a little more?”

    “But he came out without the disciples knowing. Hehehe. If you’re a bad, ugly teacher, shouldn’t you do something like this?”

    Geomseong smiled and grabbed the hem of the old long gun.

    Wrinkle. The black eyes were wandering around in the air, and the body was twisting.

    “And… that. Well, you can answer slowly if you want. Because I’m good at waiting…”

    “…Yes?”

    What does this mean again?

    As I looked, Geomseong narrowed his eyes and spoke with a pouty face.

    “…he, still a virgin wife, first…he. mouth. I took a kiss. Isn’t that reaction a bit too much…?”

    She was looking at me with teary eyes.

    “No. wait for a sec. Rather than taking it, you should say it was forced upon you… That’s not true. Work in imagery. Did you know I’m real?”

    “The place you were inside of me was a different place, and the you back then was completely different from the you I saw…?”

    “……”

    ” Plus, you’ve always done things in ways I never thought possible. So I thought he came in through some method… Oh, wasn’t he?”

    “…Aha.”

    When I nodded, Geomseong smiled and patted my chest with a faint smile on his face with a blush on his face.

    “And. Please remember that that promise is valid.”

    After saying that, she turned around and disappeared as if running away.
