The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 257
◈ Episode 257 Memories (2)
It’s really new, but Kim Joo-hyuk has heard similar things from several people so far.
The saying, ‘It’s not about learning, it’s about getting back.’
However, no matter how many times he heard those words, Kim Joo-hyuk did not understand what they meant.
Right now, he didn’t really understand that he had become a little stronger through his conversation with the previous sword.
In fact, in addition to that, the scene where Kim Joo-hyuk was fighting the underground person did not make me think that he had become stronger by finding something from the past.
I thought the reason he became stronger in the first place was because he gained a realization that was contained in that recovered scene.
Therefore, even though Kim Joo-hyuk has found his memories so far, he believes that he becomes stronger through realization within those memories rather than by regaining them.
Yeah,
until a little while ago.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s sword moves as if he has assimilated into his past self.
Although he was obviously just holding the sword to imitate his past self, his body began to move on its own.
Kim Joo-hyuk was not looking at his past self properly.
Nevertheless, Kim Joo-hyuk was moving like his past self.
As if I had 100% assimilated with my past self.
And that kind of movement was never what Kim Joo-hyuk intended.
Just naturally.
The swordsmanship he used in the past seemed too rough to be considered, but the current Kim Joo-hyuk was using it very naturally.
When his past self raises his sword and cuts, Kim Joo-hyuk also raises his sword and cuts.
When his past self twists his sword in a strange way, Kim Joo-hyuk twists his sword in the same way.
Kim Joo-hyuk moves without missing even the slightest mistake, as if he has completely assimilated into his past self.
And there was a moment when I swung the sword in accordance with my past self.
“!”
Kim Joo-hyuk suddenly realized that a red monster had appeared in front of him.
A monster that raises red thorns while looking at itself and mercilessly scatters overwhelming magical power towards its surroundings.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who saw the monster in front of him, realized that he had completely assimilated into his past self.
At the same time, his past self began to move his body, and at that time, Kim Joo-hyuk realized another new fact.
‘fence?’
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to realize that his past self was practicing swordsmanship.
Of course, that was something I had guessed before.
But guessing and really feeling are different.
Especially when I realized that what seemed to be nothing more than a random swing without any framework on the outside was actually a very elaborate swordsmanship.
“!”
The red monster in front of Kim Joo-hyuk was cut into pieces, just like he had seen several times before.
And right after that, what appeared before Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes was the same masked warrior he had seen many times before.
Kim Joo-hyuk of the past started fighting once again.
Fight, fight, fight.
On and on without stopping.
And in the process, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to change the definition of ‘not learning, but regaining’ that was stuck in his head.
At the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk could feel goosebumps every time he saw his swordsmanship.
‘I thought it was a mistake… but it wasn’t a mistake?’
Clearly, Kim Joo-hyuk felt that his swordsmanship was sloppy when he just copied his swordsmanship from the side before completely assimilating to his past self.
That’s because when Kim Joo-hyuk looked at it, his swordsmanship in the past clearly showed a certain amount of extraneousness.
However, after completely assimilating to his past self, Kim Joo-hyuk realized.
What was redundant was not the swordsmanship he was watching, but himself.
In fact, the swordsmanship that Kim Joo-hyuk saw before being completely assimilated and thought to be a bit unnecessary was not unnecessary.
Rather, it was absolutely perfect.
A move that appeared to be a mistake was actually like an anomaly created to hide a fatal blow, and the
strangely twisted path sometimes made the opponent make a move that could not be predicted.
In short, Kim Joo-hyuk only looked at the appearance of swordsmanship and described the swordsmanship he used in the past as rough.
In response, Kim Joo-hyuk once again reprimanded his foolishness and focused more and more on his past self.
The moment my past self dealt with the last enemy whose memories revolved around me.
“!”
Kim Joo-hyuk realized that in front of him was a monster whose entire body was covered in red thorns.
However, the only difference from before is that Kim Joo-hyuk has not assimilated to his past self.
thud-!
The red monster makes a loud noise and sprays overwhelming magical power in all directions.
■■■■■-!!!!
What is heard along with it is a noise that is beyond bizarre.
Although he had certainly seen it several times, the overwhelming presence of the red monster he actually encountered in front of his eyes was enough to make Kim Joo-hyuk flinch.
However, even under the pressure of such tremendous magical power, Kim Joo-hyuk.
Sigh.
Instead, he smiled.
The person he is now has not assimilated to his past self.
What this means is that the person standing facing the red monster right now is none other than Kim Joo-hyuk himself.
But even so, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to smile.
Anyway,
tsk-!
Kim Joo-hyuk is already there.
Wow!
Because I got it back.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s body pops out in an instant.
At the same time, the red monster tried to block Kim Joo-hyuk’s advance by shooting out thorns in all directions.
However,
it is clear that not a single red thorn fired to stop Kim Joo-hyuk’s advance could stop him.
Looking at Kim Joo-hyuk, who had come right in front of him, the red monster spat out its last thorn, as if it had been hiding it for now.
however.
Ka-ga-ga-ga-!
Kim Joo-hyuk so easily swatted away the flying red thorns that would have been difficult to follow with his own two eyes before.
At the same time, he very lightly swung his sword at the red monster.
Tsutsutsu-!
Not long after, Kim Joo-hyuk slaughtered the red monster just like he did before and smiled.
The next scene changes with him.
This time, what Kim Joo-hyuk saw in front of him was a masked warrior.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk was not particularly worried.
He did not memorize and follow what he had shown in the past.
Also, it wasn’t something I learned and followed.
Because he simply regained what was lost.
That’s why he grabbed his sword once again.
It wasn’t long before he was able to take the masked warrior’s head.
Tsuzuzu –
Of course, even if the masked warrior was taken care of, Kim Joo-hyuk’s self-immolation appeared again.
The next thing we see is a monster with six arms.
Next is a monster that looks grotesque even at first glance.
Next, a stone statue with a bizarre expression that would give anyone goosebumps stood in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk ran forward as if he was competing with his past self and took down the enemies that his past self had killed one by one.
When Kim Joo-hyuk defeated his last enemy like that.
Sigh.
Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the name of the swordsmanship that came to his mind.
I wanted to avoid taking any form.
On the contrary, he created a sword technique because he could not abandon his brother yet.
Therefore, it is a sword technique that has so many forms that it can take any attack and attack in any situation.
“Many swords (萬劍).”
I smiled.
####
“Uhhhh…!”
King Damuncheon came out of the sealed area of Sanjeo, looked at the smiling leader of Sanjeo, and showed an expression of disapproval.
I actually took out the Sanzers to get revenge on the damn guy who destroyed the Mandala, but to be honest, I was a little worried.
‘Well, even if they go on a rampage, their strength weakens the moment they appear in the seal, so they can’t go on a rampage like that again.’
King Damuncheon thought so and looked at the shipwrecks that were escaping one after another through the hole he had opened.
‘Obviously, at this level, we will have ample power to deal with that guy.’
If we were of the same mind, it would have been nice to destroy him together.
Sanje and Mandala were certainly in the same situation and had the same goals, but that didn’t mean their relationship was that good.
The same goes for the rest of the sealed group.
Although there were some specific groups that had somewhat aligned interests and acted together, most groups were not very friendly to each other.
Even Mandala, where King Damun Cheon belonged, was not particularly close to Sanjeo.
No, if we were to look at the relationship coldly, it was more convenient to think that Mandala and Sanjeo had an ill-fated relationship.
‘But this is an unavoidable choice.’
Admiral Lee Po-dok (以毒制毒) King Damuncheon recalled such an idiom and looked at the hole in the bottom of the mountain that was just beginning to close.
“hmm. Is it closed already?”
“I said it before, but even opening something like this is extremely difficult.”
The boss seemed to be disappointed with Damuncheonwang’s words and lost his appetite.
He turned his gaze and looked at the numerous subordinates who had not yet been able to escape from the seal, but soon he turned his gaze as if it were time to count the number of subordinates who escaped from the seal.
After counting the number of his subordinates for a while, Sanje looked at King Damuncheon with a very satisfied expression.
“Okay, middle bastard, since you kept your promise, I will make sure that I also keep my promise to you.”
King Damuncheon frowned slightly at those words, but then slightly closed his eyes.
In fact, he wanted to swear right away, but he knew that now was not the time to do such a foolish thing.
Therefore, after sighing lightly and confiding in his thoughts, King Damuncheon opened his mouth.
“…It’s good to be certain about that part.”
Sanjeo grins at those words.
“Hmph, did you ever think that I might be secretly thinking about something else like you idiots?”
“….”
“Hehehe, don’t worry. “Unlike you guys, we always keep our word.”
Wow!
After saying this, the Sanjeo leader draped his very large ax, which had been stuck in the ground just a moment ago, over his shoulder.
The ax is bigger than his body, which looks like it could easily jump 2 meters at first glance.
The leader of Sanjeo, who lifted it casually, looked at his subordinates who were smiling and looking around as if they wanted to run out in all directions at any moment.
“Then let’s talk about it again, bastard.”
Looking at King Damuncheon again.
“Then now, guide me to the place where the guy who imprisoned us on that trashy island a long time ago is.”
That’s what he said.
