9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 419

Episode 419

Episode 134. Hwaan’s Guardian (5)

[Huh…. You speak the same way as Mr. Toh did in the past.

oh i’m surprised What? flame? Are you angry?’ Is the answer usually the average reaction of humans in this situation?]

That guy in the past meant Mantu.

[What is he saying now? Are you angry?] [Yes, the introduction is late. I am Kal Lium.] [Who is Kalium?] [The god of fire and ash.] [You’ve never heard of such a god?] [You’re strangely aggressive.] [Sure. It seems like you were the one who made me look like me, made me fight, and ended up killing me. Is there any reason for me to be kind to you? I’m so annoyed that I died without being able to say good-bye, but I’m going to die

…

The round flames spread widely and changed into a human form.

However, only the appearance was human-like, and the size was so huge that this dark and vast space seemed small.

[When you grow up like that, I’m a god!

Do you think I’ll get down on my stomach?]

[Really? Otherwise, I don’t think there’s any need to maintain this appearance.]

Marlon laughed at the sight of the small, round flames forming again.

A moment of silence passed.

As for my temper, I wanted to crush the flame right in front of my eyes and put it out, but I didn’t want to act so rudely when I died and became a soul. Because he was a soul, he couldn’t even grab the broken wooden sword lying on the floor.

[You passed the first exam.] [Ah yes. thank you That’s a good thing for the back yard. Get lost, motherfucker. Because I’m agitated right now.] [And I think I passed the second test just now…]

[What was the second crazy test?]

[Not worshiping me.]

[I’m not in the mood for puns right now.]

[It’s real.]

Not worshiping God after death.

From Kalium’s point of view, it was more important than the first test.

This was because Hwa-an could not be handed over to those who begged for life or asked for mercy from the god they met immediately after death.

The ‘road of succession’ was originally set up so that those who responded to the test would surely die.

If Marlon didn’t die and killed his present self, then his future self was scheduled to appear.

[Hmm… I don’t know what to say.] [Then don’t.] [I can save you.

Resurrection, so to speak. If you promise me one thing…]

It was just a round flame, so I couldn’t see his expression, but Marlon seemed to have a sullen face for some reason.

[I don’t need it.]

[No, why?]

[It’s just that I hate you.]

Upon hearing the answer, Kalium’s flame shrank and expanded repeatedly.

It was a feeling similar to when a human being gasps for excitement.

[I hate it. Is that… all?

They said they would revive you?]

[All. I don’t want to beg for my life from someone I don’t like.]

[You you bastard. Do you have regrets or regrets because you died so suddenly? There won’t be many of them!]

[That’s right. But I can’t help but hate it.]

[I’ll spare you if you make a simple oath! so simple! I’ll give you a hwahwaan too!]

[Are you and I sharing an oath? What kind of oath do you swear after killing everyone

? My friend said he was a boss in the underworld. He’ll take care of it.] Whoa!

Carly Leem, who had changed into a huge human again, stared at Marlon and burst into laughter.

[ha ha ha! Does that madman, Amanzo, even become your friend?] [No, my friend killed that demon named Amanzo and rose to power. I also got a magic sword called Ah Yeol La. Oh, thinking about it makes me upset. That Yuma wouldn’t have died even under these circumstances.]

[What did you just say… Amanzo died?]

[What is it, you don’t even know that a god?

] is this right? Are you saying he’s occupying it anyway? The sword of death?]

[It’s too troublesome to answer. Stop whining and let me go now. To the underworld.]

Silence passed again.

Marlon kept narrowing his brows as if his annoyance was not going away, and Ka Lieum looked as if he had hardened like a stone statue.

Callium is thinking.

Would it be all right if I handed over Hwaan without being sworn in by a bright yellow man who was as strong as or even more prolific than Mantu named Malone?

‘I made an oath pretending that I couldn’t even win that fight… Is it because this guy has a strong stomach? No, before that, humans could ascend to the throne of the underworld? Is that even possible? I can’t confirm it…

The last oath to get Hwa-an was originally this.

In the name of Kalium, I will defend the world against any dark force.

It was a responsibility given to a human being who had acquired the hatred of anger.

The reason why fighting oneself and dying is the first test is to see if the test takers are strong enough to withstand themselves.

The second test of not worshiping Kalium after death is to see if you have the will not to yield in front of an absolute being.

This part was especially verified by the previous conversation.

And the oath given after the two tests were made to prevent corruption.

It was because, if a human who gained transcendental power by receiving Hwa-an were to destroy the world, the karma would be the responsibility of Kalium.

‘But to just send this guy away… You don’t know when the next human will come. It may not come forever.

I have to accumulate balls and regain my status again. It’s not long now!’

Callium He was an exiled god.

For agreeing with Sheltion when he tried to destroy the world in the past.

The loss of divine status and exile was done under Mahatrisa’s initiative, and she put on one condition that Kalium could be reinstated.

-Leave your power to humans and benefit the world, Kalium.

That alone will make you a true god again.

-Mahatrisha! I’m truly repenting from the bottom of my heart for following Sheltion!

– I’m sorry, Callium. I hope to see you again in good shape someday.

– You don’t know when it will be! Please even if it’s due!

-hi..!

With the exception of Geil and Hwa, none of the gods has existed longer than Mahathrisa.

Even more so, Kalium, who was just a spirit in the mythical age, became a god through accidental growth, and could not be higher than Mahatrisha.

And she felt affection for all things in the world, but the more deeply she loved the object, the stricter she was.

If she hadn’t been so strict, Sheltion and Friga Matiu would not have been sealed, and the first dragon, Versis, would not have handed over the red dragon face to Hugo and died.

‘Ha, this Malone. I think it’s better than Mantu from the standpoint. Seeing that he refuses resurrection and reconciliation just because he doesn’t like me, I don’t think he’ll ever fall. Just give it away?’

While Kalium pondered, Marlon was rubbing his nostrils, meaning he was bored.

A human soul that digs its nose in front of a god who promises to save it and even give it to Hwa-an… Even that crazy monkey-like Mantu wasn’t like this.

[It really is. Won’t you let me go?] [Hmmm. In particular, I will perform resurrection without taking an oath from you.] [Ha, it’s light. Because I don’t need it.] [Damn you bastard, you don’t have a choice. Damn! Do you know that I want to do this? You know my position, confined in this dark space for over 10,000 years!]

At that point, Marlon just turned his head away without answering.

It was because the statement that he had been imprisoned for 10,000 years did not sound like a lie at all, and he felt a little pity.

[Listen up, you ignorant human being. Your resurrection is made possible by the power of my fire. Exactly, it’s not resurrection, it’s reconstructing the body by forging it with fire and putting the soul in it… They don’t even listen.

only my mouth hurts Huh?]

[Yes, listen. Keep talking.]

In fact, Marlon was acting intelligent in his own way.

At first, of course, he acted uncooperatively and sharply because he was really angry at being murdered, but after a conversation, it became apparent that Kalium had no choice.

‘I tried to show some guts like Yuma, and it works well, right? I don’t know why, but is it because he’s in a desperate situation?’

So, inside, I laughed out loud.

Fortunately, it was in the state of a soul without a body, so it didn’t show at all. Kalium was deprived of most of the god’s powers, so he couldn’t use ‘Insight’.

Marlon nodded his head as if telling Kalium to continue the story.

[Huh… Yes. be patient be patient Your original body has already been destroyed, and you will not be able to leave any remains after your next death. Instead, ashes remain. Also, from now on, you will be immune to all kinds of fire in the world.]

[End?]

Ah, this unbearably blasphemous thing…

But Callium held down that feeling and continued to explain.

[I think it will burn the soul and destroy it forever. That’s what happens when you don’t pass the original test?]

[What?]

[No, it’s nothing. And you will be able to use the power of fire, which will overcome the limitations of being a human vessel. You can become a transcendentalist.]

[Hmm.]

[I think this is enough to explain.

Even though I haven’t received an oath from you, you should definitely remember this one thing.]

You have been given a mission from today. The mission of protecting the world.

The moment you violate it, all the meaning of your life will also become ashes and disappear.

Sook…

Kalium put a hand to his chest and pulled out an ember.

It was a small fire, the size of a dandelion seed, but it was a fire that was brighter than the burning body of Kalium that was filling this space.

[This is a joke. But there is one problem.] [A problem? What else are you trying to do…] [No, you can’t get Hwa-an unless you feel pity for me. It’s not a trick, it’s a limitation on me.]

Mahatrisha thought that Kalium shouldn’t just hand over its power to a strong, uncorrupted human being.

That’s why he added a condition that he must be a human being warm enough to truly feel compassion for this foolish god.

[That’s why if you don’t receive this, it’s a story that’s a joke.

And since you don’t like me…]

Stroke.

Marlon snatched the eye from Callium’s fingertips.

[Ugh?]

“I heard you were locked up for over 10,000 years.

I was thinking it was a bit unfortunate.”

And, surprisingly, Marlon, who had just died from a body explosion, regained his original form again. Hwaan was immediately absorbed by him and his body was forged.

At the same time, Kalium’s huge body was rapidly disappearing.

Having handed over what was no different from the source of fire, he was now destined to lose his form and wait until Hwa-an was sealed again.

Or that Marlon be elevated back to god by fulfilling the merits allotted to him.

[Fire and ashes will always follow you.. Son of a bitch.]

“Yes. It’s a new kid who doesn’t have much to use well. Fortunately, my friend is a human guardian, so I’m sure I’ll join in saving the world anyway, so don’t worry too much.”

Hwaaak!

And a fire broke out.

A few seconds later, when the flames died down, Marlon realized he had returned to the seal’s entrance. Also, the fact that his own eyes are shimmering with flames.

“Did you pass the test?”

From behind, Yuma put her hand on Marlon’s shoulder and said. And it smelled of black blood. It was Yuma’s blood.

“Yeocha yeocha. why are you like that

Who were you beaten up while I was away?”

“I played a bit with the teacher I hadn’t seen in a while.”

“Did you win?”

“then! Congratulations, Guardian of the new Hwaan.”
