Sword Pilgrim - Chapter 150
Episode 150
Half a year later.
“Is this here?”
A majestically towering tower.
Agato too.
A new stranger who found the place.
The pilgrim was thrilled to see the tall tower.
Seeing the tower that has been standing upright for over a thousand years has made me know that this place is a sacred place.
“Trial of the Tower…”
“Hey Roland. Let’s go in together. Aren’t you very anxious alone?”
“Is that okay?”
“Anyway, there are 12 Masters scattered throughout Agato Island. They say it doesn’t matter as long as the number of challengers is enough to match the trials!”
“Ohh! Then it doesn’t matter! Let’s be together.”
Agatodo, which had been built for a long time.
They knew enough about the ordeal on the 1st floor of the tower that they had heard as a gift.
A wooden doll that appears.
and blinded vision.
A limited battle where you have to fight only with your senses and hearing.
But they were confident.
of course.
That was until I opened the door on the first floor.
“hmm?”
“Is it bright?”
Contrary to the determination to enter with nervousness, the first floor was lit by torches.
Quite a lot of space.
But there was nothing there.
Clearly there was nothing.
“uh?”
clap clap clap.
Knights in black armor appeared. The Black Knight Fever appeared without any warning to the extent that one wondered where they were.
Ten dark knights stood side by side in front of the challenger, each holding their own weapon.
The ordeal given to them is battle.
There was only battle.
“evil! oh my!!”
The skills of the dark knights were strong.
It was equal to one pilgrim.
However, since there were ten such people, not only were they outnumbered, but the sum was so good that they could not even counterattack properly.
‘I heard that there is no business in front of Daguri!’
Yes.
The ordeal on the first floor is a many-to-one ordeal.
It was an ordeal of gang fighting.
how painful it hurts
I hit my side with a wooden sword and a wooden spear so as not to get hurt, and hit the Daegaltong with a spear, but the pain was enough to bring me to tears.
“Cheak!”
“Ouch!”
of course.
They are the Ashen Legion of Colius.
Among them were ordinary articles.

clap clap clap.
Agato too.
top floor of the tower.
Behind the shade covered by the pillars.
Callius was sitting sideways at a large table sharpening a stick.
There were numerous wooden swords scattered beside it, all of which were carved by him.
Yes.
Callius proved to the tower’s owner.
own strength. showed willingness.
And he wanted
Orbire’s sword that struck Jae-Hwa.
‘A halo of light.’
to go through it again and again.
This was the price he paid for accepting her offer.
“Shit.”
Callius was sharpening her wooden sword because he had broken it.
This is the iron lord.
It was a wooden sword for the knights who belonged to the sword with the color of Callius, enough to be called the gray lord now.
“After all, my eyes weren’t wrong. Now suffer a little more. Your talent for sharpening wooden swords has also improved considerably.”
Orbire, who was seated next to him, laughed heartily and sharpened his wooden sword.
Orbire’s suggestion.
It’s his army’s rental.
In other words, it was to become the temporary manager of the tower.
When Colius led the gray army up the tower.
He destroyed every wooden doll without exception.
That’s why the Tower had a problem giving trials, and Orbire had something he wanted from him, so he took advantage of that and replaced the Ashen Legion of Calius with the Tower’s trial doll.
Of course, the results weren’t bad.
‘There are many people who can’t even break through the first floor.’
Of course, it wasn’t like that from the beginning.
He said that the level of ordinary knights is about the same as that of ordinary knights of the Empire.
So it wasn’t strong from the beginning.
However, in just half a year, the knights on the first floor grew remarkably.
half a year of growth.
It gradually raised the level itself.
But Orbire didn’t care.
Because he’s leaving anyway.
Now, the original training wooden dolls have been almost restored.
Colius grows his army.
It’s good that Orbire can continue the ordeal of the tower.
It was a so-called win-win.
[List of Gray Legion]
General General ―
General ―
Sanggun: 2
Generals: 16
Elite Knights: 659
Normal Knights: 514
347 regular Knights have grown into elites.
Two of the elite regained their original skills as generals.
General-class knights also regained some of the power they lost during this half year.
The same is true for the top ranks.
It was an amazing achievement.
If he had slashed and killed enemies with a real sword rather than a wooden sword, he would have achieved more growth.
But this is a holy place.
It was a place where killing was forbidden, so there was no choice.
‘Aside from that, it’s an achievement that goes beyond that.’
The army is getting stronger.
they don’t die
Of course, if he regained all of his former strength, his growth would stop or flow slowly after that, but that didn’t matter.
“A lot of your colleagues came up, too.”
“Because I’m focusing on it.”
Colleagues meant Serena, Aldu, and Philo.
They struggled on the 3rd and 40th floors for the first time, but for the past half year, they intensively trained with the Gray Legion.
So now Serena was on the 60th floor, Aldu was on the early 50th floor and Philo was on the late 50th floor.
Perhaps it was because they were people with high potential, their growth potential was high compared to others.
Perhaps in just one more month, Serena would break down the wall, and Alduna Philo would grow even more.
Above all, Philo’s growth was remarkable.
I thought he was crazy because he cut off his tail and sold it, but his potential was high.
Compared to the lowest average skill, it seems that the enlightenment he gained was different.
Besides, the last half year hasn’t been too bad for Colliers either.
top lord. with Orbire.
he learned a lot
how to breathe
How to break a habit.
How to clear your mind.
Also how to refill.
Shallow theories about her swordsmanship and so on.
I spent a lot of time watching and learning.
So, if you ask if Colius has grown tremendously, it is not.
He was learning to use what he had more effectively.
In the first place, the balance of the body and mind was bad.
Therefore, when using power, it is to train the mind and body to control the distribution of power or not to over-consume power.
Most of them started with meditation.
Sharpening a wooden sword every day.
looking at the blue sky.
Faced with the rising sunlight, he sharpened his wooden sword while gazing at the cold air and twinkling stars in the night sky.
of course.
He sparred with Orbire with that wooden sword and was defeated every time.
‘Adults are adults.’
basic swordsmanship.
understanding of the sword.
Purity of holy power.
How to use divine power.
All of them surpass Colliers.
In the first place, even the quality of divine power itself is classified as a special adult beyond the 1st level.
Jill itself is another divine power.
No matter how much Colius uses the remnants of the three energies.
It wasn’t enough to overcome the divine power of an adult yet.
Besides, she could be called a transcendental person just by manipulating divine power.
Not even a handful of divine power was wasted, and even when she was next to her, she didn’t show any energy at all times.
Just like normal people.
‘No, it’s just like someone who doesn’t exist.’
Is it a feeling similar to nature?
It’s even worse when sharpening a wooden sword.
When she sharpened the wooden sword as if they were united, there were many times when I was startled because I felt like I was no one in this world at all.
I even asked once.
why are you here
The place where he was born and raised is Carpe, and the god he worships is Balterus.
He asked why he didn’t help even though he was well aware of being persecuted by the Empire.
‘What did he say?’
Orbire suddenly looked up at the sky and answered his question.
“God is… only God.”
Many meanings were implied.
Colliers didn’t understand at first.
But now, half a year later.
It seemed to me that I knew a little bit about it now.
she has no sword
The only thing there is a wooden sword.
Orbire is a saint and a pilgrim.
At the same time, he is also the owner of the tower.
to her like that.
There is no big difference between Carpe and the God of Swords.
The meaning of this was complicated and at the same time simple and clear, so it was difficult to explain.
At least that’s what I understood.
The land on which I tread is my home.
What I hold is a sword, but it is not a sword, and God is the sky, so I interpreted it as meaning that wherever you go, if you have a heart for God, that place is a church and a holy place.
Simply put.
‘It doesn’t matter if it perishes or not.’
Seeing Orbire say such a thing, Callius remembered her setting.
adult.
Arrogance.
But loving-kindness also has its place.
That’s why Orbire wanted something that was a sword but not a corpse.
It was her arrogance that denied the power of the gods, and her pity for the mortgaged soul.
Among them, why a wooden sword?
“It’s easy to make.”
This answer came back.
Should I be a person who knows but does not know?
“Callius.”
“what.”
“Why do you want to be strong? The source of power is ephemeral.”
“Why do you think so?”
“God… just exists. In the empire, they say that they will absorb the holy relics of the gods of arms into Lactus, the god of the spear, and make him the main god to conquer the fallen land, but will that be true? I guess not.”
“…”
“God just exists. The power of a god will not be split and forgotten by such an act. Even those idiots cry for spears, but they are not ignorant of the utility of swords and the efficiency of axes. It’s going to be used anyway.”
Even if the corpse disappears, the sword is used.
It’s because it was created because there is a use.
So God will not be forgotten.
Even if the current church and country collapse, they will rise again after many years.
“So you’re saying it’s fleeting?”
“Not only. Do you know how a god is a god?”
“It is God, so it must be God.”
“There is some overlap among the doctrines of the other gods. For any god, this item is essential. Do you know what it is?”
“…an offering to God. you mean?”
“okay. any god I dedicate the best of all the weapons. Such doctrine is an integral part of any denomination. Have you ever thought about why that is?”
Callies didn’t answer.
I was just silent.
Despite his ambiguous attitude, Orbire opened his mouth without much doubt.
“There is no such thing as a sacred art that actually offers weapons to a god. But I have often seen and heard of so-called saints disappearing from the world.”
What could be the reason?
What is the message she wants to convey to Colliers?
This is probably suspicious.
It was a doubt that was nothing more than an unconvincing reasoning.
unholy faith in God.
It can’t be lamentable that such a person is an adult.
If it were someone else, of course.
“Have I ever told you that I was a Heretic Questioner before?”
“Was it the Heretic Questioner? dismiss it as bullshit To say that they were such crazy people, I must have misunderstood the person.”
“It was a long time ago.”
“Don’t do that.”
A conversation that has been fuzzy with laughter.
However, Colliers was well aware of the context and substance of this conversation.
-Where do saints go-
-Why such a doctrine exists-
Callius remembered Stella.
first virgin.
One day, she suddenly disappeared.
Even among the saints of the next generation, those who were so outstanding were similar.
Colius also thought of Fatalite in the link between thoughts and thoughts.
However, it was soon brushed off.
It is only in this world.
The answer you know.
It hadn’t come out of my mouth yet.
“Now you’ve got a bit of a useful cut.”
Callius, who had finished cutting off a wooden sword, grabbed it and swung it.
The balance was pretty good.
I felt like I had improved my skills after only sharpening a wooden sword for half a year.
Colliers did it.
He grabbed the sharpened wooden sword and headed towards Orbire.
“Use the halo. I’m going to try re-emulsion again.”
“bouncer. It’s not a season where you can see your own holy light sword carelessly because you want to see it. Don’t you know that Felice also becomes a calm puppy in front of me?”
“I am only fulfilling my promise.”
last half year.
His being here was purely Orbire’s suggestion and promise.
However, now the time has come.
“I’ll break it down for sure this time.”
Orbire’s Feast of Names.
halo of light.
A sword that erases all the ash in Colius’ re-emulsion with light.
Now half a year has passed.
Callius challenges once again.
“Nothing bad.”
and that day.
Colius left the Holy Land.

The top floor of the tower.
A pillar on the 61st floor holding a pole next to Orbire, who is alone.
Orvana came.
“Are you leaving?”
“okay.”
The eyes of the head of the tower looking at the distant horizon were profound.
Orvana didn’t know if he was pursuing the invisible man or what.
“Where did you go?”
“…do you intend to leave?”
“yes. I think the time has come for me to experience the world.”
“Aren’t you pissed off from being trampled on by that guy?”
“…”
Orvana did not object.
“okay. Now that you’ve reached your age, the time has come. Go see him.”
I went to the kingdom.
