Chapter 736 – 737. I Promise. Lee Jae-Won Will Meet a Terrible End.

Autumn in full swing

In the middle of the forest, a huge maple tree that turned yellow stood in its place.

It is so thick that even if an adult man hugs him with his arms wide open, he cannot cover them all.

To a height where you can feel the wonder just by looking up

The nameless tree possessed an unusual magical power that made the beholder feel awe.

Jerk jerk jerk

Then, from afar, someone was walking towards a huge maple tree.

White hair with clear signs of age

Light fine wrinkles symbolizing the years of life

Strong body that seems to have brushed off the years

And a rugged sword sheath hung on his side, suggesting that he was a swordsman.

He was an elderly swordsman with a profound impression.

Jerk jerk jerk

The old swordsman began to walk with a certain stride.

Even if you just look at the steps you walk in line with as if measured with a ruler

I was able to guess that the man’s realm was not low.

He must be a swordsman who has reached a fairly high level.

How far did you go

Pop

Soon the man stopped walking.

Right in front of a giant maple tree.

Then, without speaking, he began to stare at the maple tree.

Then I slowly raised my head and admired the colorful maple leaves that were dyed yellow.

And soon, a small smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing the visible change of seasons

It didn’t seem too bad.

How long did you keep feeling like that?

Snap

The man put his hand on his scabbard.

Then stretch his left leg forward

He leaned slightly and lowered his stance.

And he began to breathe slowly.

One breath

Kkwaak

He gripped his sword tightly.

Two breaths

He began to strain his left leg out in front of him.

Three breaths

Saaaaa

He fired his sword and swung it at the maple tree.

Four breaths

Wearing

He retrieved the sword he had swung and immediately made a lead sword.

At an imperceptible speed.

Slippery

Soon, the old swordsman, who had a sword, slowly raised his lowered body.

And he gazed silently.

The maple tree that swung the sword.

How much did you stare

This profit

The maple trees started to make a grotesque noise, like something snapping.

And soon, leaning to one side, it began to fall as it was.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam

Not long after, a deafening roar erupted.

Woo woo woo

And the ground began to shake.

This is because the body of the huge maple tree collided with the floor, creating an enormous shock wave.

Soon, the huge maple tree, which had been standing there for hundreds of years, was passed over as it was.

By an old swordsman who is as old as he gets old.

“…”

The aged swordsman just stared at the scene he had created with a calm expression on his face.

As if nothing happened.

Mate mate mate

It was then.

A crackling sound of applause began to be heard from somewhere.

Swish

The old swordsman quickly turned his head toward the source of the sound.

And could see

A middle-aged man with a pleasant smile looking at him.

“Awesome.”

The middle-aged man looked at the old swordsman and opened his mouth.

“Have you come?”

After hearing the man’s words, the old swordsman continued with a calm tone.

“Your sword is very good, Sword Emperor.”

The man opened his mouth with a big smile on his lips.

“It’s just a dull knife.”

The old swordsman, sword master Yoon Je-gyeom, received the words in a calm tone.

Haha, too much humility.”

The middle-aged man continued with a look of amusement.

“It’s not humility. Don’t you think so too? Sword Demon.”

“Of course, compared to me, the sword is blunt. But this is because I am strong. You are by no means weak.”

Sword Demon, with a mischievous smile, comforted him in his own way.

“Is that what you call consolation?”

Yoon Je-gyeom asked him as if he was dumbfounded.

What kind of consolation is that?

“I’m sorry. I’m not good at lying.”

The Sword Demon continued with a smirk.

“Are you trying to make fun of it? It’s really difficult to be serious.”

Yoon Je-gyeom started shaking his head.

Even now, the playful attitude of the author made people confused.

“I’m always serious. Sword Emperor.”

“Then I’ll take it seriously.”

Yoon Je-gyeom spoke in a calm tone.

“Anyway, why did you come here?”

“You’re doing too much. Do you think I’m looking for you only when I have a business?”

“If not. Wouldn’t it be impossible for you to find an old man who is waiting for the day he will die?”

“Well, I had something to tell you, and I was thinking of seeing your face as well.”

“What do you mean?”

Yoon Je-gyeom looked at the Sword Demon and immediately asked the matter.

It was because I was curious.

About the reason why he came to find himself in the middle of the day.

“Take it.”

Suddenly, the Sword Demon took out a small note from her arms.

And then threw it at him.

Snap

Yoon Je-gyeom immediately accepted the note he threw.

“What is this?”

“Take a look.”

The Sword Demon continued with a calm tone.

Hearing those words, Yoon Je-gyeom began to unfold the folded note.

Then the letters that were written on the small note began to come into my eyes.

‘Command!’

Seeing this, Yoon Je-gyeom knew.

The fact that what was written on the note was a directive sent to him.

“Hmm”

Realizing that it was a directive, Yoon Je-gyeom kept his mouth shut and began to read it carefully.

As if he would not miss a single letter.

How much time has passed

“…Is it necessary to go this far?”

And he spoke with a heavy expression on his face.

It was because he hesitated about the more heinous plan than he could have imagined.

“I just judged it necessary.”

“But… No matter how much…”

“Don’t forget who your enemy is. Sword Emperor.”

The Sword Demon looked at the hesitant Sword Emperor and continued.

“…I haven’t forgotten…How could I ever forget? The rogue boat that took away the only joy left in life…But the one who is killed by your plan is Lee Jae-won. Isn’t that the only one?”

Yoon Je-gyeom continued with a puzzled expression.

The fact that his enemy is Lee Jae-won

It was a fact that I never forgot even once after witnessing the truth.

Wanted to kill him

He wants to soothe the soul of his granddaughter, who has already become a widow by killing him brutally.

That’s why he was able to join hands with the Demonic Cult.

He cried out for the fjord all his life and despised the Demonic Cult.

He was able to join hands with the Demonic Cult.

Only to kill Lee Jae-won.

He promised

In order to realize the plan no matter what command is given

I mean, I won’t hesitate.

But that promise began to waver.

It was because of the directive written on the note.

In the order, the actions to be taken on the day of the robbery were written in detail.

And I couldn’t quite understand those actions.

It was because it was a plan that would kill not only Lee Jae-won but also the majority of the leaders.

“Are you saying you don’t understand?”

Sword Demon asked while looking at Yoon Je-gyeom, who was making an expression of disapproval.

“…Does it need to go this far?”

His goal was always Lee Jae-won.

He wants to eliminate the direct culprit who killed his granddaughter.

But to kill even innocent leaders

How can you give such an order?

“No matter how much you think about it, it seems like a shallow trick from you guys who want to cut down the Cheonmu-maeng’s power in the face of the Great War.”

Yoon Je-gyeom spoke in a calm tone.

“You seem to be making a big mistake.”

The Sword Demon gently shook her head and continued.

“I won’t deny that I intend to reduce power. I intervened in your affairs to cause internal strife in the first place. But killing the leaders is not a simple choice to cut power. It is definitely for your revenge. I mean work.”

“…Let me explain in detail.”

“Your enemy is not only Lee Jae-won. The rotten leaders who knew everything but just stood by were also your enemies.”

“…What does that mean?”

“Didn’t you hear from Miss Soo? How they tried to protect the honor of Cheonmu-maeng by blaming Jang-sam for the murder case? Their ugly appearance. Perhaps your granddaughter’s case was also overlooked. I mean, I’m going to hit it.”

The Sword Demon continued with a dry expression on his face.

“Stop anyone walking down the street and ask. Does anyone know your granddaughter’s name? They controlled the information. And made your granddaughter’s existence completely disappear from people’s minds. Killed her twice. I’m talking about. But is it necessary to go this far?”

Sword Demon looked at Yoon Je-gyeom with her straight gaze and opened her mouth.

“Is your grudge only that much?”

And he spoke like a bruise.

“It wasn’t only Lee Jae-won that killed your granddaughter, but also the Cheonmu-maeng itself. It’s the rotten Cheonmu-maeng… And to eradicate the rotten thing, we need to overthrow everything.”

Sigh

Hearing those words, Yoon Jae-gyeom took his teeth and began grinding.

Not wrong.

Everything he says

It was Yoon Je-gyeom who was able to know how power-oriented the leaders had been through So-yang.

So he could empathize and be angry.

About everything the Sword Demon said.

The Cheonmu-maeng is rotten.

And because of those rotten things, her granddaughter’s death was completely buried.

It was Lee Jae-won who committed the crime, but

It is Cheonmu-maeng itself that buried the crime.

That’s why he needed to be overthrown.

Even if it meant killing all the leaders.

Soon, he began to live young in Yoon Je-gyeom’s eyes.

“It turned into a pretty cool look. Sword Emperor.”

Seeing that, the Sword Demon continued to say that he was satisfied.

Despite accepting the cooperation of the Demonic Cult

It was Yoon Je-gyeom who still couldn’t abandon his temperament as a twisted Jeongpain.

It was because it was not easy to abandon that temperament to him who had been running for cooperation all his life.

So he aroused resentment.

He, who had been seeking cooperation all his life, had a grudge so severe that he joined hands with the Demonic Cult he hated.

And the stimulation seemed to be successful.

His eyes changed.

It’s not the deep, dizzy eyes

With low-temperature, terrible, lifeless eyes.

“…I will.”

Soon, Yoon Je-gyeom continued to speak with his lifeless eyes twinkling.

He accepted the offer of the Sword Demon.

“Well thought of. Resentment is the law that must be resolved.”

The Sword Demon nodded her head with a satisfied expression.

Because I really liked his choice.

“Promise me one thing.”

At that time, Yoon Je-gyeom opened his mouth as he looked at the sword demon, who was smiling with satisfaction.

“Tell me.”

“I won’t stop using my grudge to cut down the strength of the Celestial Armed Forces. I won’t mind the plan to use my grudge to disrupt the gathering of factions. I won’t mind the plan to rule the midfield by creating a Demonic Cult.”

Yoon Je-gyeom spoke in a calm tone.

“However, no matter what happens, Lee Jae-won will take a terrible revenge… I will settle my grudge properly… Promise me.”

Yoon Je-gyeom looked at the Sword Demon with bloodshot eyes and continued.

In his eyes, there was a huge life force intact.

Ssik

Seeing this, the Sword Demon put a deep smile on her lips.

It was because the appearance of Myeong-suk Choi, the maddened faction of vengeance, was quite fun.

“I promise. Jaewon Lee will meet a terrible end. And your grudge will be settled no matter what.”

The Sword Demon promised him.

Lee Jae-won’s terrible end

And the perfect revenge of Yoon Jae-gyeom.

“I’ll make you believe it. Sword Demon”

Yoon Je-gyeom looked at the Sword Demon and opened his mouth.

His eyes were full of trust.

“I’m not a man who speaks twice with one mouth. Sword Emperor.”

Sword Demon continued her words with a funny smile.

“Oh, and.”

Then, as if he had remembered it, he spoke out suddenly.

“From now on, will you call me Swordsman instead of Swordsman?”

“The Swordsman!?”

“It’s because I’ve come up with a title I like.”

The Sword Demon, or the Sword Master, continued with a smile on her lips.

The title of swordsman, which is expressed as the sword itself, seemed to like it quite a bit.

“I will. Swordsman.”

Yoon Je-gyeom shook his head and immediately changed his title.

It was because it didn’t feel like a particularly difficult request.

“Thank you.”

The swordsman had a deep smile on his lips.

I thought it was a good sound to listen to at any time.
