Episode 255 How to hold a sword (2)

How to hold a sword.

It was something I had heard countless times in sparring with my father in the past.

Enough to remember even the country with no talent.

My father’s guidance was deeply ingrained in me.

But even that was not enough.

The magic beast’s strength was beyond what I thought.

The gaping mouth of an A-rank monster. Saliva flowed from the wolf’s mouth.

Ugly yellow teeth that seemed to devour me at any moment.

It made my whole body go numb.

back back.

I hesitate and feel my body being pushed out. It was not a very pleasant experience.

Am I going to die here?

I tried to move on, but I couldn’t reach it and ended here.

The moment I thought so, someone’s rough hand lay on top of mine.

“Didn’t I tell you that you hold a sword like this?”

it belonged to my father.

He was still as indifferent and cold as I remembered.

I nodded and put my strength back into the hand holding the sword.

And I remember how to hold a sword that my father told me about.

Pick up your sword and accurately recognize the enemy.

Sharpen your blade toward the weakest-looking weakness and squeeze through the cracks.

It was something I could never do alone.

But with my father…

I can.

Chow!

A sword studded with antique decorations was thrust forward.

Blood spurted out and I felt the Demonic Beast step back.

The massive body of the Witchbeast, which had a body of black shadow, slowly collapsed.

“Haa…”

Killed an A-class beast with a sword.

I was seized with a sense of exaltation. It started to overflow as if the dam in my heart had collapsed.

It would have been a bizarre and unsightly landscape.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I lowered the sword to the floor.

“Huh… ah…”

Even though he knew his father was in front of him. Even though I knew he hated seeing me cry the most, I couldn’t help but do it.

But why?

My father didn’t say anything to me after crying for a long time. The scolding was also pathetic trash, so I didn’t even work.

he just said

“That’s your fight.”

As I looked up in disbelief, my father looked down at me warmly.

It was a face he had never seen before.

At least since my mother passed away.

‘The illusion of trauma. It was a level that the youngest could never get out of. I don’t really know… but the magic here is different from other dungeons.

However, the chancellor was the first to get out of the illusion and protect the brothers who had fallen together. Even though they were always bullying me and I could have run away if I was alone.’

Lee Jae-shin thought that while looking at his son who was lying on his stomach and crying.

I also resembled my wife.

It was a word he didn’t say out of his mouth, but Lee Jae-shin realized that his son had grown up.

It was also that it was his own point of view that was narrow-minded.

I also realized that I had ruined the child by being overly harsh with the thought that I had to protect it.

Of course, her attitude towards him will not change anytime soon.

The karma he had built up over the years was too much to rectify in an instant.

I should be able to get better little by little.

Just like the youngest did.

so.

“That’s your fight.”

I decided to admit my son’s fight.

The words of the chancellor who said he wanted to become a raider to help the raiders.

Because I’ve come to the realization that it’s not impossible.

“Ah father…”

“You are strong. no it got stronger Admit it. That you have your own fight.”

At Lee Jae-shin’s words, Lee Jae-sang wiped away the tears with his sleeve and stood up trembling.

“More and more more…”

Lee Jae-sang calmed down his trembling voice from beginning to end, then tightened his throat again.

And he spoke in a clear voice like never before.

“You will become stronger.”

“…okay.”

Jaeshin Lee just said that and smiled lightly.

* * *

Jae-hyun, who was watching them from behind, soon joined Jae-sang Lee.

Lee Jae-shin Lee Jae-sang. And a party of three was formed up to Jaehyun.

But the party didn’t last long.

It was because Jaehyun felt someone else’s feeling from the depths of the dungeon through magic detection.

“All the other coalition members seem to be together. The people of Yeonhwa and the members of Curator. I think it’s the same for us as well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Perhaps the boss is being dealt with by Yoo Seong-nim. My heart wants to go to help right away… but there are survivors on the other side as well.”

“…you can’t choose who dies.”

Jaesang Lee said so with a firm expression. He no longer stuttered, but he still had a warm heart for people.

The moment when no one could make a decision easily.

It was then that Jaeshin Lee spoke out.

“I will go with my son to help Yoo Sung-eun. The one who fell alone must be your colleague, right?”

“you’re right.”

Jaehyun said so with moderate respect.

Lee Jae-shin immediately nodded.

“Save and come. Because you seem to have enough power to do that.”

“But no matter how you are, it will be difficult for you to deal with the Witchbeast of the depths.

As you already know, the structure of the magic that makes up this dungeon is nothing like a normal one…”

“I’ll hold out as long as I can until you come.”

Jaehyun’s eyes narrowed.

That self-respecting Lee Jae-shin takes on a supporting role?

However, there was no time to worry.

Jaehyun sighed and started running in the opposite direction.

“It won’t take long. Please tell everyone that.”

“Of course.”

After Jaehyun said that, he quickly disappeared using magic.

Lee Jae-sang and Lee Jae-shin were left behind. Lee Jae-sang asked worriedly.

“But… is it okay to call it a reenactment? If you happen to get hurt…”

“No, he’s fine.”

Lee Jae-shin accurately denied his son’s words.

“He is a stronger radar than I am. In all respects.”

It did not simply refer to force.

On the other hand, Jaehyun, who was running through the maze of the dungeon, was feeling deeper and darker than ever after returning.

‘…Kim Yoo-jung. Shit, it looks like he’s wandering around the dungeon by himself.’

It was dangerous.

Kim Yoo-jung is long. She has a terrible trauma of being left alone.

There shouldn’t be a big problem in terms of power, but if she panics at the situation itself being left alone… she

will surely die.

When the thought goes crazy in your head. Jaehyun recalled a memory.

It was during the third trial.

At the time, Idun said.

The road will be opened with the blood of those who stand by the opponent of the prophecy.

However, Jaehyun had no intention of killing Odin at the cost of his comrades.

In order to protect mine forever, Jaehyun was getting stronger.

What if Kim Yoo-jung dies here?

In that case, representation could lose its recurring meaning.

‘It must be stopped. I will never tolerate it.’

When Jaehyun thought so and ran towards a deeper place in the dungeon.

A girl with orange hair was twisting and moaning in pain.

Her expression wasn’t good enough that anyone could tell she was having a terrible nightmare.

* * *

The girl watched as a boy and another girl walked arm in arm.

from very far away.

It was an area he could not reach.

The other girl with the boy was a familiar face she knew, and she thought they were in a relationship that was starting to deepen.

There was no room for himself to intervene.

For some reason, the girl felt a pain in her chest and her mind sank below the surface.

How else can I explain this feeling?

why do i suffer

At that moment, a message resonates clearly in the girl’s ears.

―Plays the trauma deep inside the user!

[Hey~ The relay racer said to gather!]

[Kim Yoo-jung, come quickly, too. Don’t be late for nothing.]

One afternoon under the scorching sun.

It was a little after noon. An elementary school playground filled with crowds.

Several familiar students with young faces were sitting there.

Kim Yoo-jung sighed and stood in line.

This is because she was the last runner in the women’s relay.

Her physical abilities were very outstanding, unlike those of the magical world.

He was also a rare Awakener among his peers, and his ability itself was very compliant.

Thanks to that, I was able to take charge of relay races at this sports event as well.

[It’s you again.]

“Why? boring?”

The person talking to her from the front is also a familiar face.

reappearance. He was a childhood friend who had grown up with him since childhood and had been hanging out with him for several years.

[Don’t fall while running. What do the kids say to me when I lose?]

“What are you saying? Don’t fall either.”

That’s how I prepare for the relay race. The blazing sun suddenly became too hot.

The teacher in charge of the sports day called the children together and said.

[Students who are relaying, please wait until the heat cools down a bit.]

[Ah, it’s better to finish quickly.]

Jaehyun grumbled.

“It’s better than running and falling.”

Kim Yu-jung muttered, covering her face with her hands.

“I’m going inside for a minute. If the relay race starts, come and find it. I’ll be in class.”

[hey. Am I your servant?]

She quietly ignored Jaehyun’s words and evacuated into the classroom for a while.

It will definitely be less hot than outside.

With that thought in mind, she opened the door to the classroom, when she suddenly saw the faces of some reluctant students.

[Ah, is that Kim Yoo-jung?]

[Hey~ Are your amazing parents finally coming today?]

[Of course. I was bragging about it then~]

They were female students in the same class.

After hearing that Kim Yoo-jung’s parents are doing great things at the time of announcing her parents’ occupations in the past, and after hearing that Kim Yoo-jung’s ability as an awakened person has blossomed.

They started to quarrel with Kim Yoo-jung in every case.

“…maybe.”

Kim Yoo-jung said that while enduring the feeling of discomfort.

Apparently, she wasn’t very close with the other students except for Jaehyun.

I had no intention of having a long conversation in such an uncomfortable atmosphere.

‘But their teasing ends today.’

Kim Yoo-jung thought about that as she closed the classroom door again and went outside.

She remembered the phone call she had with her parents yesterday.

[okay. My daughter asked me to come, but this time I must go! don’t worry! My daughter is also running the relay race, so I’ll be sure to go see it.]

[Mom is going too~ Do well and don’t get hurt~]

This time, she said her parents would definitely come.

The family has already missed school events several times, but this time they made a promise.

If my parents show their faces once, there will be no more teasing from other kids.

But at that moment, suddenly, a jingling sound came from the inside pocket of the gym suit.

vibration.

Why? What made me feel ominous about that vibration.

Kim Yoo-jung took out the phone and checked the sender.

was the father

Kim Yoo-jung answered the phone with a sharp voice.

“hello.”

[Oh, Yoojung. It’s my father…I don’t think I can go to the sports day today…]

Kim Yu-jung stopped listening and hung up the phone there.
