    Episode 130 – Hwangseong 2 –

    There are a total of 5 ducal houses in the empire.

    Duke of Crowfield.

    The Duke of Winterfield.

    The Duke of Waterloo.

    The Dukes of Childrey.

    and… House of Fraser.

    They are all families that were collaterals of the royal family in the distant past.

    Just one. A founding creditor who promoted the Kingdom of Helios to the Empire of Helium by winning the battle against the founder of the old empire. Except for the House of Fraser.

    And the family’s elder, Geomseong.

    He asked me to spar once again.

    And that too in the imperial castle where the highest ranking people in this empire are gathered.

    ‘I think I’m screwed.’

    Nothing else really matters.

    The problem is that my parents are there now.

    My fighting style is to spar while not sparing my body.

    Of course, if you intuit that, you will focus on a pleasant situation.

    That’s why we can’t proceed in a way that saves our bodies.

    According to the circumstances, it is presumed that the president visited Geomseong while he was away and had a conversation with Geomseong.

    Listening to the Sword Saint’s words, it is a given that he is trying to make me recreate the situation at that time.

    And the state I heard from Theseus was very warlike.

    I don’t even remember it, so I wonder if it can be controlled.

    ‘damn. I don’t know. It’s sparring anyway, so whatever. ‘He said that he wanted to hurt the knight who had reached the top because he was passionate about winning.’

    Making a fuss is my specialty.

    I got rid of the devil by speaking out, but I wonder if I can’t do that.

    “I understand. But I don’t know how to do it either. So don’t expect too much because it may not work out.”

    “I know. It’s just because Darmore asked me to. He said he called me because he felt like his skills weren’t enough to properly investigate.”

    Don’t lie.

    You just want to fight.

    When I first met Dante, the head of the Human Federation and close to the main character in the story in WFS.

    At that time, I ran in to see his skills.

    Since I am a later writer, I am only considering justification.

    Normally, he is a person who just runs away.

    “So are you going to make it public first?”

    The reason I asked this was very simple.

    Because if it isn’t made public, my parents won’t be able to see the sparring either.

    Considering that my concerns stem from his unique fighting style.

    It’s okay as long as the sparring isn’t public.

    Even if you are injured, you can just say that the swordsman failed to control his strength.

    My swordsmanship isn’t so mediocre that I wouldn’t even listen to that kind of request.

    “Why is that? Do you also want to protect the laws of heaven?”

    “Unless their parents are extremely talented, most children have special feelings toward their parents.

    Adopted children who are not related by blood also feel filial piety.”

    Even if the parents who gave birth to my soul are on Earth.

    They are also like my parents.

    Just as an adopted child’s adoptive parents are also considered parents. I also consider Caroline and Henry my parents.

    and… They could really be my biological parents.

    “Yes. Anyway, it won’t be a normal sparring this time. Do it privately. Follow me. Because there are a lot of things to experiment with.”

    I followed the Sword Saint’s words without any complaints.

    Few people use the world’s best facilities.

    It is an old saying of this land.

    Because it is already a place where the best stay.

    This is because there is no reason to use it paradoxically.

    This is said to mean guard against greed and give what you have to give.

    “There was a fight here last time. What do you think about the facilities?”

    The place I arrived was the place where I had sparred during the New Year’s ceremony.

    The funny thing is that no one has sparred since then.

    “I think it’s a good facility. It’s such a shame that these facilities aren’t being used.”

    “Haha. That’s a good response. Is that why? Because you are the only one who has used this place for the past two months.”

    “So. Where is the president? First of all, I think it will be porridge or rice only when the president comes.”

    “Why do you look for food here? First of all, Lord Darmore is coming soon.”

    Upon arriving to this land, Geomseong imposed movement restrictions on government officials.

    First of all, the order was to never let the situation spread to the surrounding area.

    I just wanted to ask if that was possible at that level.

    Geomseong says that among the civil servants there are marquess and dukes, so everyone will listen carefully.

    Among civil servants, rank takes precedence and orders must be followed.

    This is because the current guests cannot ignore their status.

    ‘It’s like a real command center. There, the battalion commander was having coffee and the brigade commander was running errands. The corps commander can also be seen occasionally.’

    In terms of role alone, it is much higher than the military headquarters.

    Thinking that it was possible, I stood down.

    “You were waiting first. Sir Marx. and… You.”

    “Can I not use honorifics here? It’s not a private space, it’s a public space?”

    “Then you… ! no. I wasn’t rude, but I was always treated with respect.”

    Sergei sighed and shook his head.

    Geomseong just watched, as if he was amazed by the relationship between the two of us.

    The president is probably quite close to Geomseong.

    I thought it was possible since he was the strongest wizard except for the Great Sage who was locked away in the Tower of Wise Men.

    “Then this is not a form of sparring. For now, let’s just give it a rough try. Abraxas. So what did you feel at that time?”

    “I’m not sure either? At first, I thought the president had erased it because all my memories had disappeared.”

    “Although my unique magic confuses my memory. Your case is out of the question. I didn’t use any follow-up magic after you fainted.”

    “Really? Then, can I use the unique magic on me? I think it happened because there was some kind of chain reaction between that and that?”

    “That could be possible. That’s it, if you experiment… That’s enough… !”

    Geomseong widened his eyes as if he was excited and winked at the president.

    The president imitated those words, closed his eyes, and created a bundle of magical power mixed with the light pink and white colors he had heard about.

    Unique Magic – Path of Oblivion –

    Can humans know that they have forgotten?

    It is not forgetting from the moment you recognize that you have forgotten. I just forgot.

    True forgetfulness is not even remembering the fact that you forgot.

    The beginning of something is awareness. Improvement, response, defense, attack. If the object is a living thing, it has no choice but to start with awareness.

    Therefore, living things depend on cognition and make decisions through cognition.

    Therefore, the possibility of the perception being manipulated is rarely considered.

    The more recent the recognition, the more recent it is.

    “Let me explain this technology. It makes me forget the skills I showed.

    Since it only applies for a short period of time, you can use your skills as is. The things I saw the moment the battle started are naturally forgotten.”

    “Then, even if we found a way to destroy the president’s technology, we have to find a way to destroy it again.”

    “Yes. And even if the opponent’s skill is high and the opponent destroys it again, it is within my scope. And in the end, I also forget my own magic.

    That’s why I tend to use unique magic often. Even if you write it, you will forget that you even wrote it.”

    The president is a being who has reached a very high level.

    As such, it is definitely a very deceptive unique magic spell.

    “Then… What are the disadvantages?”

    “What. Considering that you are asleep in your body anyway, there is no point in finding your weakness, so I will tell you.

    The higher your level, the less likely you are to forget. And even if you forget… In the end, if there is a difference in skill, it cannot be reversed.”

    “That’s the worst drawback. In the end, it only increases the odds of winning against an opponent who has a chance of winning. You can’t give a chance to an opponent who has no chance of winning.”

    In response to the president’s words, Geomseong directly informed him of the law of destruction.

    In fact, the president’s technique is a technique that gives an edge in psychological warfare.

    It’s not a technique that allows you to win.

    You may not know because I mainly use psychological warfare.

    The gap in farmland is not something that can be reversed if there is an all-out war.

    The whole reason for my victory was because my opponent wasn’t at full strength.

    If I had used all my strength, I would never have been able to win.

    Of course, I didn’t try everything.

    “It’s like multiplication. If the number is at least 1, it is possible to multiply it. Because the moment it is 0, no matter what you do, it will only be 0.”

    “That doesn’t mean it’s a weak skill. Rather, it is a great unique magic simply because it can defeat an opponent of the same level with a high probability.”

    Of course, that doesn’t mean that the unique magic power is weak.

    Just the direction is different.

    It will be even more noticeable when compared to the guardian’s unique magic.

    The Guardian’s unique magic skill, Living Spirit Water, is a type of special move.

    It shows overwhelming performance when used, and Guardians who do not use Living Spirit Water are on a completely different level.

    However, Sergei’s unique magic skill, Path of Oblivion, is not a special move.

    In game terms, it is close to a passive skill.

    This means that using it does not make it a different entity.

    “Think about it once. Why did these things happen?”

    After giving a brief explanation, Sergei poured magic on me.

    As time passed, I focused on my body.

    The magic continued to enter my body.

    It didn’t seem like anything special was happening.

    “You… Are you okay? It looks strange just by looking at it?”

    Are you okay?

    I don’t know what you’re talking about.

    I’m perfectly normal now.

    What on earth is the problem?

    if

    That doesn’t mean… I don’t think you’ve forgotten anything, right?

    The biggest characteristic of forgetting is the fact that there is no awareness.

    In other words, if you notice that you have forgotten something, it is no longer forgetting.

    I just forgot.

    “Well? I don’t think it’s something right? No matter how you look at it, there’s nothing strange about it, right?”

    My body seems to be shaking.

    But my body naturally trembles.

    Because the heart beats and pumps blood.

    It is a normal body function for the body to tremble and for the blood to warm the body.

    “I don’t think you know what the problem is?”

    “I guess so.”

    The president said it was strange looking at me, a normal person.

    weird? Am I normal?

    However, the president immediately chanted a simple magic spell and hit the only part of the body that I could not see on my own.

    A substance that makes objects appear to be inverted.

    It was a mirror.

    “Look again. Does this look normal to you?”

    Is it true?

    The image of myself reflected in the president’s magic was not the version of myself I knew.

    My eyes were open.

    His face was very flushed.

    His mouth was drawn into an arc, as if his muscles were stiff, and he didn’t even think about opening it.

    Even though I tried to keep a straight face, it was like that.

    Even Irene can tell that this kid is not normal.

    then…

    “Couple. Have you started?”

    “I waited to see when those words would come out.”

    Anyway, something is strange right now.

    Then why should I endure it?

    I decided to just do whatever I wanted.

    Anyway, everything that happens here… This is because it is a situation of ‘weakness in mind and body’, like behavior that occurs after being intoxicated with drugs or alcohol.

    “Yield first strikeㄱㅡ”

    Boom~

    Geomseong tried to give up the first strike as usual.

    It was a mistake.

    Unfortunately, the person I am now is by no means the person I thought I was before.

    “It’s a really amazing feeling, isn’t it? What on earth is it?”

    It’s a feeling I can’t quite figure out.

    To be honest, I thought it was a remnant of Ygrasil before.

    I thought Ygrasil’s techniques were passed down to me in the process of massaging the soul.

    If only I could read others through their souls.

    I will also be able to read the skills of my teacher, who is a spirit.

    I thought Ygrasil’s tendencies were also transferred during the process of communicating with the soul.

    However, there was no case like this for those who had learned the ghost sword method before.

    Considering that Ygrasil also never thought of such a thing, this does not seem to be such a case.

    in other words. This is another reason I don’t know.

    “Hmm… So what should we do here? what? Are your true feelings flowing out? and! I can’t stop thinking! This is also very interesting, isn’t it?”

    “Did you find something?”

    “I think so. It’s ambiguous. What should I do with this?”

    The more I thought about it, the more likely it was to catch fire.

    The Sword Saint thinks that my skills coincidentally resemble Ygrasil’s, like convergent evolution, so if my skills are fully revealed, there will be a big problem.

    That being said, we cannot just ignore it.

    Because eventually I plan to forget this skill.

    “Hmm. Then, Sword Saint? I have one favor to ask of you.”

    “What is it? haha. That attack just now was really close to perfect. So, except for refusing to spar, I will accept everything.”

    “It’s probably out of my realm and I’m going to pass out soon, right? But when healing me, can you leave the trauma intact as much as possible?

    I don’t know anything else, but can you please leave the wounds I inflicted on myself?”

    “I don’t know why. Let’s do that. I guess I can do that much.”

    done.

    I immediately took out the Heavenly Sword out of thin air and began carving letters on my body.

    I cannot inform the Geomseong and the President of this fact.

    But I will eventually forget, and I need something to write it down to prevent that.

    I use my body as drawing paper to leave traces.

    The president and Geomseong wanted to do something, but they just passed on.

    After all, there was nothing more foolish than asking an abnormal person about something normal.

    “Now… Did it work… ?”

    “Of course.”

    A sparring match that my future self will not remember has now begun.

    I have doubts about what kind of ending it will lead to, but I hoped that there was at least a decent chance of victory.

    Bang~

    As it was, their attacks clashed with each other.
