chapter 62
62. Conflict and reunion
The sound of knocking in Yueun’s ears as she was squatting on the bed.
‘Is it one…’
She must have come because she couldn’t see herself,
– Smart smart
At the sound of knocking again, I wasn’t in the mood to meet anyone right now, but I was about to refuse.
Yueun felt something strange about her.
‘Location of sound…?’
The source of the knocking sound that I thought I heard at Yoo-eun’s door was the window of her room on the 7th floor.
Yueun walked towards the window, quietly picking up her sword, which she had placed beside her bed.
-…..
When Yoo Eun got up from her seat, she cautiously approached the window at the sudden knock.
‘There’s nothing…’
She glanced at the window, but felt strange at not seeing anything. When Yoo-eun pushed the window,
Wheeing-
“What?”
She reflexively closed her eyes due to the sudden strong wind, and Yu-eun, who opened them, stuck her head out to look out the window, but luckily there was no figure outside.
Did the wind shake the window frame? Yu-eun looked back at her and her whole body stiffened.
In the room where Yoo Eun stayed for a long time while she was staying in the capital, nothing was visible except for the furniture that was necessary for Yoo Eun’s personality, who likes things to be tidy.
But…
[The eye of insight sees through the unnatural flow!]
In Yoo Eun’s golden eyes, she saw a black figure standing in the shadows at the corner of her room.
“…Who are you?”
There was no concealment that could deceive Yu-eun’s eyes, which had even penetrated her blade’s prayers.
As she tensed her whole body and pointed her sword at the intruder, she seemed taken aback by her actions.
Sleep-
The intruder, who appeared as smoke dissipated in the sunlight, spoke softly.
“I’ve never seen him at the main school.. It looks like he’s at the pinnacle level.. Does he have a good feeling? Is it his choice too?”
“What are you talking about…?”
Yoo-eun asked in response to the intruder’s words, and when he took off the mask over her face, the elderly man’s face was revealed.
“Are you going to pretend you don’t know? You’re talking about the school’s new skill so openly…”
“If it’s a rookie…”
At the old man’s words, Yoo-hyeon’s request passed through Yoo-eun’s mind.
-Don’t use the Heavenly Demon Artifact anywhere at all. Tired things can happen…
Yu-eun, who remembered her teacher’s words, immediately knew the identity of the woman in front of her.
-Cheonma Shingyo (天魔神敎).
The undisputed No. 1 Guild on the Midgard continent and the largest single power, the name that came from that place…
“The Heavenly Demon God?”
At Yueun’s words, the old man twitched his eyebrows.
“Yeah..I know.
The old man with her tongue tilted her head at Yueun, who was still aiming her sword at her.
“Wouldn’t you like to clean up that hideous thing now?
“…”
Even when the old man said, Yoo-eun was still holding on, and the old man laughed and said,
“Heh heh! Come to think of it, you didn’t even introduce me! Nobu says he’s the elder of the school, Heukyeong. ..Count!”
Hey!
As soon as she had finished her words, Heukyoung approached Yueun and reached out her hand.
Kaaang!
However, as Yueun’s sword managed to cut off Heukyoung’s outstretched hand, his face was filled with surprise.
“Ohhh? You’re going to cut this off…? No matter how much Nobu puts things in his hands… He has the ability to stiffen his back. Yes, our school has everything. It’s not the time to come…”
As if satisfied with Yueun’s skill, Heukyoung nodded and began to speak hesitantly.
‘Damn it…’
On the other hand, Eun-Yoo was feeling awkward at the tightly twisted situation.
‘What should I do? Even though I just blocked a seemingly light attack, my arms feel numb.
Yu-eun, feeling the gap with her opponent with just one clash, thought of the heavenly sword as her last resort, but soon gave up.
‘Now they consider me to be on their side.
Thinking of the aftermath of using the heavenly sword, Yoo-eun, unable to pull out Yoohyeon’s swordsmanship, was in deep trouble for a long time.
“So these days, children are into it..! Ah..Oh, no, the old lady took up time again by talking nonsense.”
Hmmm, dark energy flowed from the body of the dark spirit who cleared his throat and pressed Yooeun.
“Coming back to the main topic, the school’s heaven has ordered you to come. You’re not going to disobey his order, are you?”
Yoo Eun responded by gripping her sword tighter at the appearance of Heukyoung, who instantly became serious.
“I’m not going. Never.”
“Hmm.. It’s a stroke of my childhood. I’m sorry.”
Heukyoung shook his head at Yooeun’s answer..
Spot-
It’s gone.
‘… Back!’
Even though he was clearly watching with his own two eyes, he sensed the presence of the dark spirit behind Yoo-eun before he knew it, and hurriedly swung his sword behind him…
Teouk-
Yoo Eun’s sword was easily blocked by his hand,
Tadak-
A black spirit’s voice was heard in her ears as her fingers caught in Yueun’s blood transfusion.
“Indulgence ends here, young master. I understand the desire to enjoy freedom… But the principal’s order is absolute.”
Looking at her darkening vision, Yueun thought with her dimming mind.
‘I couldn’t say sorry to my teammates…’
The whereabouts of Baek Yoo-eun, the main character of rumors that had been gaining popularity in the capital, disappeared without a trace in the capital.

-Chirp
A dense forest bathed in warm sunshine.
In a small village located in the middle of a dense forest, several figures were busy moving.
“This way! Gnomes!”
One of the elves, wearing bright blonde hair, the hallmark of most elves, swung her hand, and a small golem-like spirit sprang out from behind her.
– Hard as a rock!
As the spirit shouted vigorously and put his hand on the ground, the ground that had been hollowed out in the middle of the village began to fill up as if a bomb had hit it.
“Whew~ This town is over!”
When she looked behind her while wiping her sweat, as if the battle had just ended, a cold-looking male elf, Raven, was approaching her with her whole body covered in the blood of her demon beast. .
“I see… Good work, adjutant. Huh, let’s go back now.”
Raven’s eyes, which were looking at the village that had been restored so cleanly that it was hard to find traces of destruction due to the invasion of the Abyss monsters, began to shake rapidly as soon as they reached a certain place.
“Ah… It’s the sword god’s grace…”
“I never thought I would be able to come back to my hometown alive.. Sword God..”
There, the elves who originally lived in this village huddled together in a corner of the clearing and were bowing to a small piece of wood.
Raven, who saw that, wrinkled his brow slightly.
“Again… It’s the beginning…”
“Ah~ Captain, it’s not even a day or two, isn’t it time to get used to it?”
At Raven’s self-talk, the lieutenant who stabbed Raven said.
“That’s not… I’m a bit.”
-Does it have to be broken to enter?
-Do you think it is a spirit attached to a tree?
Raven shook his head, distracted for a moment by his absurd words that popped into his head.
“I don’t understand the captain’s reaction! I wish I could have seen that amazing swordsmanship in person! Literally, the god of swords…!”
Raven sighed as he saw the lieutenant hold his hand and his eyes twinkle.
‘Is this correct?’
When Elvenheim, the home of elves, is in crisis, the Sword god appears like a hero and literally shows off his divine prestige, wiping out all demons at once and disappearing.
His existence gained absolute support with the recognition of the World Tree within Elvenheim, and was believed as a god comparable to the World Tree, which was the sole god of the elves.
It even got to the point where a sentence like ‘The World Tree gave birth and the Sword God protected’ was being added to the scriptures in Elbenheim.
Raven, who was able to look at this whole process with a calm (?) Mind unwillingly, could not hide his complicated mind.
“Grow up!”
“No! That’s not it! My hair is longer!”
Looking at the elves discussing while making a statue of Yuhyeon in the middle of the village, Raven grew worried that his compatriots might fall into the wrong path today.
Chow ah ah-
The capital of Elvenheim, a little away from him.
“It feels like it’s been a while.”
The skies above the capital split apart, and Chun Yu-hyeon, the most popular protagonist in Elbenheim, appeared.
[Hello. Sword God. Long time no see.]
“Well, it’s been a while. I’m sorry I disappeared without a word the other time.”
When Yoohyeon couldn’t feel Rebecca’s connection inside Yoohyeon, he remembered that he had disappeared without any explanation.
[No. There is grace given by the sword god, how can I do that…]
“Hmm? Heh heh. That’s right.”
[…]
After a short talk, Yoohyeon asked World Tree.
“How are the children I care about? I must have been worried because they disappeared without a word…”
[As for those children… They seem to be doing well. I’ll guide you..]
A small light that flew along with the answer of the world tree guided Yoohyeon in the direction in front of him.
By the time Yoohyeon was clearing his throat after arriving at the promenade in the middle of the dense forest.
“Are you a little late?”
Elray approached from across the trail and smiled at Yoohyeon.
“I missed you.”
