The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

15 – Defense – 3

***

There was one existence. Existing alone in a world with nothing, he started kneading and kneading the world with an idea that came to him one day.

He laid down a piece of dough and called it the ground, and breathed the rest of the dough into the air. Then the dough became powder and embroidered the air, which he called the sky.

After creating heaven and earth, he was silent again.

And again, after a long time passed and his silence ended, the earth and sky could not overcome the flow of time and lost their original appearance.

In the damp land, rivers formed, and the rivers gathered to form the sea.

It was the same that the sky also changed. The dust that was scattered became the sun, and the two lumps that fell from the sun gathered other dust and became the moon.

Unlike the three large lumps, the scattered and small ones became stars.

A lot has changed since he first made it, but he doesn’t have any complaints. He just makes other things.

Awakening from silence, what he created was life.

Pure life is divided into heaven, earth, and sea, and many things are born there.

Another moment of silence followed. The lives he created grew on their own and became members of the world, and when he finally broke silence, small lives were settling in many places in the world.

The turmoil created by those little, lovely creatures was embarrassing to him.

So he decided to leave behind what he had made, but felt sorry for the voices of life that were waiting for him, so he made another one.

However, only one was made, but two came out. They look identical, but apparently the other two took care of life instead.

He said it was fine and left the world.

“… Is the creation myth.”

“Oh.”

A few days after defeating the first attack, the attacks of the monsters gradually became less frequent. According to Atram, there seemed to be no more raids.

That’s why they say they’re holding a harvest festival today.

It was a small festival to celebrate the harvest of all crops and give thanks to the Goddess.

My name is quite well known within the territory, perhaps thanks to my steady defense against monster attacks.

The other day, when I returned from a monster attack, the women and children of the village even scattered flowers.

The next day, the main party I drank with poured alcohol on me.

Anyway, I was going to participate in the festival today because I was asked to participate in the festival by the local people I became close with, but Cecil found me.

I’m sorry, but what can I do?

So instead of participating in the festival, I went to her room and the story I came up with was a creation myth.

I want to decline studying mythology instead of festivals.

“So… What do you want to say?”

“There are many questions that make it seem like a simple myth. Among them, scholars have the most questions about this. Where did he come from and where did he go?”

The Creator who created the world created the world and then God to take care of life.

I made one god, but two gods came out. I shrugged my shoulders as I recalled the story of a good god called a goddess and an evil god.

“I’ve played enough to play, so shouldn’t I go home?”

“It’s home. That opinion is fresh, so that’s fine, but… The academy’s research suggests he’s gone to another world.”

“Do you believe other worlds exist?”

“I believe. The results of the research so far are the same, and there are people who claim to have come from another world right in front of me. Oh. And I hope you don’t talk about what I’m talking about elsewhere. It could be blasphemy.”

Cecile took a sip of her tea and handed me a document. It was a thesis of sorts. There were a lot of complicated words written, but there was one that stood out among them.

“This is…”

It was a picture. The picture drawn in great detail was a sword familiar to me.

“It’s something I got accidentally at the academy a while back. It’s commonly referred to as ‘a demonic sword from another world.’ It’s a sword with a special energy. We haven’t been able to accurately analyze this sword yet. That’s why. If it’s okay with you, please come to the academy for a while and help with the experiment.”

“What is the purpose of the experiment?”

“What this sword is. And where it came from. And how it was made. Is it reproducible, etc. What we do know is that this sword was made with materials and methods from another world, and we can’t get it in the process of researching it. I wonder if you can return to your world if you use the results that exist.”

Ugh. What a terrible sound

“I don’t want to go back.”

“Huh? You said you came here unintentionally. Don’t you miss your hometown?”

“Don’t even say such horrible things. My hometown is now Starin Youngji.”

“That’s right? Hmmm. This is an unexpected remark. Then won’t you cooperate with the experiment?”

“That and this are separate stories, so I will cooperate. Of course, if I tell you to go back, I won’t go. And I know what this sword is.”

“… Huh?”

His head tilted. Satisfied with the change in her pretty face, I let go of the material I was holding.

“Taegeuk Demon Sword.”

“…What sword?”

“Taegeuk Magic Sword.”

A sword with a blade the height of a child, and the pattern of Taegeuk engraved on the hilt.

This is the Taegeuk Demon Sword, the sword used by the Taegeukjeomje who fought against the Blood Bridge like me in the past.

The Blood Religion bastards, who used unusual spells, tried to rule over Murim and use everything in the world as a sacrifice to summon the Blood God.

It was me and the Taegeuk Sword Emperor that stopped it.

Actually, I don’t have a good relationship with the shamans, so I did my best to hold hands, but the enemy of an enemy is not a friend.

I got goosebumps at Taegeukgeomje’s words that he would kill all blood ties first and then you.

I thought that too.

Anyway, both of them had plans, but in the end, they couldn’t compete with Taegeukgeomje.

It was because Taegeukgeomje became friends with the blood horse, the head of the blood religion.

Come to think of it, at that time, the Taegeukgeomjae used the Yigoeom to blow the sword, and the Blood Demon used a strange technique to annihilate it.

“You seem to know something… Can you tell me the circumstances?”

There was no particular reason for her to hide it, so I explained it to her, and she listened without blinking and nodded her head with a serious expression.

“Did that blood demon know about this place?”

“I don’t think so. The Blood Religion bastards said they didn’t know where they were sending them, too.”

They said so when the Shaman faction’s guru caught and interrogated the defeated remnants of the Blood Bridge.

Desperate for the death of the Taegeuk Sword Emperor, the shamans tried to find a Taegeuk Demon Sword, a treasured sword that could create sword energy just by wielding it, but the shamans of the Blood Religion laughed at them and said so.

The expression of the non-partisan guru back then was worth seeing.

“That would be if the Blood Religion bastards weren’t lying.”

“An unexpected harvest. Um…”

She started biting her mouth hard as if thinking hard.

She stayed silent for a long time like the creator in the creation myth, but opened her mouth only after the tea had cooled down.

“Anyway, I want you to go to the academy with me for a while.”

“Then who protects the territory?”

“Monsters don’t move easily in winter, so the number of people we have right now will be enough.”

The harvest season was almost over. Looking at the sky, the first snow will fall soon. Due to the chilly weather, people within the territory were also reducing their outdoor activities.

But aren’t monsters active in winter?

Are they even sleeping in the winter?

“Of course, it’s not that it doesn’t appear at all… But it can be considered that there are almost no insects or animals. Then, Elan and Atram will be able to solve the rest. And I don’t intend to take a long time. Hmm. .. There.”

“Is there?”

“If you come to this world, wouldn’t it be good to take a look at the academy? It’s a place where the cultures of four countries gather, so it’s a good place to look around.”

It must be that much of a fuss.

But even so, it wasn’t a bad suggestion. It would be better to go sightseeing than to scratch the floor of the bed in the corner of the room with nothing to do in winter.

There is also a request from Lucy.

“But is it peaceful there?”

She chuckled.

“There are many geeks among wizards and scholars.”

It’s not quite a peaceful place.

When I told him that I was on a short business trip to the academy, Atram couldn’t erase his confused expression.

Since he decided to learn from me the other day, his skills have become stronger.

Recently, I’ve been training for the fun of improving my skills, but it seems regrettable that I can’t train properly without me.

“Then are you taking a break this winter?”

“It should be while I go to the academy. It’s dangerous to train alone.”

What he is being taught is a martial art called Arhat Qigong of Shaolin Temple.

If you cook it steadily, it’s good for your body, and when it’s perfectly cooked, it gives you strength like Arhats.

And the most important thing is that the effect of training is fast up to a certain level, so it is good for immediate use.

“It is recommended that you continue basic training and physical training while I am away.”

Because no matter how hard you train the foundation, it’s not enough. Knowing that, he smiled and nodded his head.

Okay. Then there is nothing to worry about.

“There’s so much to see at the academy. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Oh, and this.”

Lucy passed one of his pockets to me. Looking inside, there were several gold coins inside.

“I don’t know how to say Geumilbong… But I think I’ll have something to spend money on if I go to the academy.”

“Ohh. To see you take care of me like this. Since it’s winter, you have a lot of places to spend money.”

“Whoops. Thanks to Unni and Cheonyoung, I was able to save a lot of money for the estate. Also, I was able to completely block the raid.”

It is said that some of the food was stolen each time by monsters that attack every year. But this time it’s not like that, so I’m pretty relaxed. Then there is no reason to decline.

“So? When are you leaving?”

“Uh… I’m leaving tomorrow.”

“That’s so fast! Then it can’t be like this!”

Atram suddenly stood up and shouted.

“Let’s go! The harvest festival is over, but the drinking party isn’t over yet!!”

Ah. I can’t stand drinking.
