Chapter 56 – 56. The 49th Day of the Priest

Jang Moon-in and the Maehwa swordsmen representing the Hwasan faction came out to meet Geomhu and his disciple Baekun, who were going to scout the Black Magician by hand. Baekwoon was the one who fit well, so there was nothing special to say within the Hwasan faction as Jang Moon-in declared that he had given permission.

No, even if I have complaints, I can’t say anything… It is a street where no one speaks because the moment they speak, they know that every threshing action under the guise of swordsman education will take place. It would be better for them if they went and searched.

‘Because if there are five people, there is one official, and if there are a hundred people, there are five madmen.’

How many people can there be in the Volcanic Faction, which is considered to be at the top of the Gupa Faction? Presuming that there are dozens of people who dislike Baekun or want to kill him, Baekun calmly ignored the stinging gazes sent by some Maehwa swordsmen.
I wonder where the dog barks.

Realizing the disregard, some plum swordsmen burst into flames internally, but did not show it any further.
It was because Na Ye-rin, the first female swordsman in Jungwon, and Jang Moon-in of the Hwasan faction were right in front of her. Their discipline was not foolish enough to openly cause an accident in front of the two of them.

Fast.

… Maybe not.

“Samae. Please be careful.
“Yes, a long writer. Just trust me.”

Na Ye-rin stuck out her lips as she watched the brother-in-law and the disciple playing drums and drums over herself.

“Does Jangmun look like a child to me?”
“Samae is like a baby. Isn’t he smaller than Baekun now?”
“…”

Geomhu, who was suddenly stabbed to the point, shut her mouth. Come to think of it, she was as tall as a normal woman before she was transformed into a half-lo, but now her height has remained the same even though 4 years have passed since she was transformed into a half-ro.
She guessed that if there was anything that changed, it was that she had awakened the power of the fox yokai, so she guessed that it might be because of that, and vowed to find out later, without saying a word, took Baekwoon’s hand and forcibly led him to the entrance of the Devil’s Palace.

The two priests, who had entered the demonic realm that gave off such an ominous black color, felt that the world had changed.

Tiddik. Tidy Dick.

An environment where sparks fly from all sides. As soon as she entered her demonic realm, Na Ye-rin, who acted in self-defense as Baek-un ordered, frowned as she saw the flames surrounding her and the resulting smoke.
Although I had heard about it beforehand, it was clearly more dangerous than 〈 Firebird’s Nest 〉.

‘Indeed. It’s not just a trap prepared by a freshman to kill Daeseong Jecheon.’

This demonic realm was originally the Eight Trigrams that were in the realm of the yogi for some reason. The stove for the podium that Taesangnogun prepared to kill Son Ohgong of Jecheondaeseong. It was the Palgwa-ro.

As it is a place for podiums, it is like an inferno that is extremely hot. Once activated, the inside is heated and burned with an unquenchable flame for 49 days. That is why it would not have been possible to endure it unless the body was close to being immune to the prefectural police level of self-defence or the flames of the pole. Hwagyeong or less must have been reduced to ashes shortly after entering.
If it wasn’t for Baekwoon from the future, the thought that people from the Volcano sect like her family would have been like that made Na Ye-rin after the swordsman feel like Songgol.

Thinking of that, she turned her head, and there was Baekwoon taking out the beak, claws, and feathers of a shujak that he had stole from a pouch enchanted with space expansion and preservation spells, as well as flame resistance spells.
Strictly speaking, some were secret, and some were already provided to the Volcano Sect, so there was no particular problem.

The problem was that he was taking out other equipment borrowed from a famous blacksmith.

“Disciple. Did you really intend to make it here?”
“Yes. I will make new swords and clothes for me to wear here.”

Na Ye-rin felt uneasy when she saw a disciple who would calmly make swords and clothes in a dangerous place where freshness would burn. It is because she did not know her own disciple, who was a member of the extreme polarity, but she, who was only a follower of the Hyeongyeong (?), Did not have the confidence to endure 49 days in this Palgwae Road, which was said to kill freshness.
Even as a police officer, there is a limit to his internal skills, and he cannot show self-defense for 49 days.

‘Even if I stretch it out and endure it as much as I can… Ten days is probably the limit.’

Unlike the Hwagyeong, it formed a trinity and reached the state of harmony, so it was possible to use self-defense with optimal efficiency.

In fact, this is possible because he has had sexual intercourse with Baek-woon and absorbed the energy he received from him to grow as a nine-tailed fox.
However, Baekwoon said that there was a way to solve it, so Na Ye-rin came here with strong faith even though she felt uneasy.

“For no reason, the Palgwae furnace is not a stove for making a podium. My flames are also very good, but in terms of production, they are not as good as the flames of this Palgwae furnace, so I have to make them here.”
“I see. But this master didn’t know that you had talent for production.”
“In the future, it was difficult to use a good blacksmith because I was being chased. So, since the flames were running fast, I became a human stove and supplied fire, so I learned little by little from everyone, and my skills only improved. It’s just the level of creation.”
“Just making a famous sword is enough to become the exclusive blacksmith of the prestigious Segana school, but…”

Na Ye-rin, who did not know that her student would be so versatile, was embarrassed, but soon came to understand as she recalled her past.

‘Come to think of it, there are no weapons that can’t be handled, and occultism is also excellent. Although Cheondun Sword is a swordsmanship method that requires magic, he handled magic well beyond the passing mark. Besides, the night, the night is also very good.’

Martial arts, sorcery, and even martial arts. Come to think of it, the swordsman nodded her head, convinced that she didn’t have to be too surprised, even if there was something she was better at here.

“Maybe the production itself won’t take too long. I’d guess at most nine days.”
“It’s fortunate. This master’s self-defense seems to last for about ten days, so from then on, our disciples must save this master. If his energy runs out, even this master will become a sacrifice to the Eight Trigrams.”
“Don’t worry about that. There’s a surefire way.”
“Of course I believe you.”

Full of her teacher’s trust, Baekun thought that as her disciple, he should hurry up and complete her production and help her. As Na Ye-rin said, if it takes more than 10 days, you have to give up her production or her, but she will of course give up her production and she will never get this opportunity again.

Baekwoon picked up the beak and claws of Jujak.
Then, in his hand, he raised a hammer made of meteorite over his head and struck it down with it.

Caang!

It was the beginning of announcing the production of Rookie Kigi.

***

The important thing in making weapons, especially swords, is the pure skill of the blacksmith himself, but what is more important than that is the material. His ability to make a master sword out of ordinary iron is amazing, but if the material is low, no matter how good his skills are, he won’t be able to reach it as a new recruit.

In other words, the most important thing in making weapons was the material to compose the sword body and the flame to smelt it.

In that sense, it was good to say that this Baguaro was the optimal environment for making swords. It’s not that my Cheonma Dragon Rinmu’s flame is inferior, but I don’t feel like it leans too much toward destruction.
On the other hand, this palguaro, which is said to be used by the freshman when making the dais, can create the best flame when striking a sword.

First, hit the beak with a hammer coated in black salt to shape it. If it is hard, it will only break with a stronger force, so I plan to hold the central axis of the sword with a slightly softer beak.
The part that will be the blade is the claw.

Since it is a body part of a living being, it is impossible to smelt it like a normal metal, but I am a wild blacksmith anyway. It only knows how to forcibly melt it with highly destructive black salt and hammer it to keep it in shape and balance.
So, when I melt the beak and claws of Suzaku with my black salt and hammer them again to shape them, I will use the flames of this Baguaro.

Kang. Caang!

Tap as hard as you can with the beak, which loses its shape and melts in the energy of the black flame. It wasn’t a direct hit, it was just a tap with a black dye on it, but with each hit, the hammer bent a little and lost its shape.
Seeing that such an expensive meteorite hammer had completely lost its shape without a few taps, I threw it around without regret and took a new meteorite hammer out of my pocket.

Although the fortune-telling hammers are quite expensive, I made a lot of money by investing in the Geum-Eon-Mark country, so buying dozens of them did not put a strain on my personal wallet. Besides, new equipment is far more important than all that money.

After melting it and changing the beak into a new central axis, I immediately put my claw on it and started hammering again.
The black flame, which focuses on destruction, melts the claws. Wouldn’t it be a surprise if the members of the Heavenly Demonic Church were to lose their eyes if they saw that they were crafting swords with such delicate handling of black salt mixed with dark attributes?
Even though I felt like a naughty boy wanting to see him, I immediately shook off my thoughts and focused on hammering.

Fire.

The claws melted in black salt are covered over the beak that has become an axis. Now, you have to hammer while using the fire of the Palgwaro well so as not to be disturbed.
With concentration raised to the highest level, strike the sword again.

Caen. Caan.

I deal with the flames of this palgwaro thinking of myself. I predict it thinking that I am the flame of this palgwaro.

‘Make.’

I, who have achieved perfect harmony, become the flame. Fall into no self and become completely one with the flame.
It does not reach the stage of unity with nature, but it reaches the material self that becomes one with this flame.

Although we have not reached the natural state, the confidence that the flames will not bow down anywhere comes out and weaves the flames into one.

I don’t know from what moment, but instead of a broken meteorite hammer, my fist strikes the claw that held the shape of the sword. My hand, which has already reached the adamantine Buddha, is clenched into a fist and fulfills the role of a hammer wonderfully.
As if time has stopped, as if I am alone in this space, my sense of time is distorted and I have fallen into selflessness, but I do not struggle and calmly refine my sword with flame.

-Kiaaaaa!

Suzaku’s evil thoughts resist from the refined beak and claws, but it doesn’t matter. Because I couldn’t suppress that thought with my overwhelming will and set it on fire.
It was a spectacle to see Suzaku’s thoughts of being the king of flames burn and disappear with the will of the flames.
When I filled up my will, the will of the flame, the sword was finally completed.

The name of this sword is

“…Red lotus phoenix sword.”

It was the birth of a new recruit to fill the vacancy of the Fire Dragon Sword.
