Sword Pilgrim

Episode 143

‘Corruption? I?’

It’s bullshit.

It’s the devil’s trick

It is a sophistry born of low malice.

I can not admit it.

was not to be acknowledged.

that you have fallen

Are you the same as the monster in front of you?

It was an unbelievable bullshit.

“Nonsense.”

[Everyone does corruption. you humans too. Even those lofty dragons. And Shinto.]

Everyone corrupts.

Corruption is equal.

it is of its own will.

or through the interference of others.

[You, whose purpose was to end the war, what do you want now? You, who wanted peace, what were you crying out for?]

“….”

The war has finally come to an end.

countless dragons and demons. And the end of the war that piled up human corpses.

It was no one’s victory.

It was no one’s defeat.

All that remains is countless deaths and destructions.

In the meantime, Titeo cried out.

revenge.

To the dragons and demons that caused this war.

to those who hurt us.

Cold yet hot revenge.

[You stood up to end the war, but aren’t you trying to start a war now?]

Then that’s it.

[If not corruption, then what?]

Titeo’s breath stopped.

However, the devil’s tongue did not end there.

[And do they know? Even though I tried to protect you by sacrificing my own life, you actually wanted death. How ironic.]

“No…”

Titeo shook his head.

However, the devil calmly opened his mouth.

[You have already fallen. I just haven’t realized it yet.]

“No.”

[You want to die but you can’t? That’s bullshit. Why would you kill yourself? Is it because of human vulgar notions? To prove your worth? It’s your characteristic. Trying to give meaning to death.]

But, ironically, it sustains life.

When the devil saw it, Titeo was no different.

[Your corruption makes people around you sick and loses their lives. Ironically, you are sad. This is complete depravity and what is it other than plotting their deaths!]

Realize. be aware Admit it.

[Sorrowful corruption.]

Titeo took a step back.

Facial muscles moved irregularly.

He trembled as if in a convulsion.

couldn’t resist

‘Corruption.’

Are you saying I’m already broken?

The will to end the war with a noble spirit was nowhere to be found.

What remains for him is the peace of death and the revenge of his comrades.

However, the gap that cannot be established sustains one’s life and causes the deaths of those around him.

If this is not a fall, what is it?

You deserve to mourn their deaths.

‘Does it belong to me?’

The hand that had lifted the sword and shield slowly went down.

There is no strength in the hand holding the sword.

The mouth gradually opens.

A cracked voice escaped from his open mouth like a moan.

fluff.

Knees pinned to the ground.

The tears running down my cheeks dry up.

Dry eyes bleed.

Tears of blood flow down your cheeks.

[You deserve to be sad. Who else would be saddened by the death of a comrade he made.

]

Malice hidden in low laughter secretly shines on Titeo.

[Be sad. Fall is not a sin. Gods also fall. Even more so, wouldn’t he fall as a human being? Fall is equal to all things. Think carefully about what caused you to fall.] What

caused the fall.

the reason why you fell

[You are already corrupted.]

His voice kept ringing in my ears. Why?

Titeo couldn’t deny it.

I should have denied it.

Not denying it was proof that the death of a comrade was in vain.

but couldn’t

he couldn’t

death of those who saved him.

Titeo made it worse than a dog.

“Ah ….”

The guilt of being pushed like water.

Contempt and loathing of oneself.

The result of that was, for some reason, towards the vast land and clear sky.

“Why are you putting me through such an ordeal!! What have I done so wrong! why!! why! to me…!”

I just fought

just to save people.

A little bit. To save even one more person.

So I took up the sword.

So, I went forward with my comrades.

But since when?

My steps were for death.

My sword was for my satisfaction.

Recognize that you are wrong.

But I didn’t want to admit it.

He had to deny it.

「Even if it is true」

Titeo grabbed the sword with tears in his eyes.

Soon, the string of the shield was tied more tightly to the severed wrist.

I made a promise.

I didn’t want their deaths to be in vain.

This was atonement and a desperate resolution.

Even if the dragon tramples on it, even if the devil ridicules it, you die an honorable death.

I will seek the honor myself to make the deaths of my comrades worthwhile.

“I will end this war.”

He was corrupt but honorable.

I learned the value of life.

His resolve reached the sky, and he grew and made a name for himself even after several years of war. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

A knight who transcended humans, killed dragons and destroyed demons, knew right and wrong, avenged his comrades and found his own worth.

He was Titeo.

He was a knight and someone’s champion.

* * *

Whoa.

The door opened in front of Callius who opened his eyes.

It was the door to the fourth floor. I didn’t think deeply about what I just saw.

He went straight down.

4th floor.

Like the third floor, it was a door with intaglios depicting the devil’s cruelty.

He opened the door right away.

“also.”

As soon as I opened the door, a strong demonic energy poured out.

Magi overflowed as if the sea water was full.

On the fourth floor, it was the same as before.

There were Death Knights.

total five.

And there were about 10 people who looked like demons standing up.

[What did you raise your sword for?]

[What are you going for?]

[What is corruption to you?]

The demon asked.

They were demons with gray skin and black and red eyes.

Their questions touched the roots of human beings and shook the foundation.

[You’ve already been corrupted.]

[You’re no different from us.]

[It’s a corrupted sword.]

It wasn’t just bullshit. It was a voice imbued with significant magical power.

A psychic spell.

It was the voice of corruption.

No matter how strong the body is, if you answer even once to their words, you will be corrupted.

you will lose your sword

The goal would be shaken, the resolve would be broken, and the direction lost would be endlessly wandering.

However.

[Resists the mental attack.]

It didn’t do much for Colius.

Despite the appearance of the demons spitting out word by word, Callius strode forward.

The Demons standing on either side and the Death Knight standing in the center.

The one standing in the center held his sword in reverse and leaned it against the ground, while the others held swords, shields, and spears.

The entire 4th floor is under significant pressure from the momentum they emit.

The Death Knight’s red eyes looked down at Colius.

[What is your sword?]

The voice was low.

It was a voice that resonated in my head.

Unlike before, Colius couldn’t sit still.

Unlike the people talking next to me.

Because the death knight’s voice had a heart in it.

It wasn’t crude witchcraft.

It was the article’s question.

“…”

What is the thing that dwells in the sword?

To that question, Colliers was quick to answer.

That was also the reason for this journey in the first place. what to put in the sword

It was also to make the sword more clear and sharp.

So I pondered for a while.

[For honor.]

[For wife.]

[For colleague.]

[For self.]

If not him.

[Is it new?]

Thurreuk. clap.

The Death Knights spread to the left and right.

In the meantime, an article appeared.

Death Knight holding a spear and shield.

[Titeo’s sword contained the death of a comrade.]

The Death Knight said.

There was a will in his words.

Even though the soul knows that it cannot leave the dead body, it has a will of its own and stands against Colius.

Momentum felt in the voice.

The presence was extraordinary.

[He denied the devil’s deceit and became a knight.]

It was definitely a fall.

What can we call the old hero who tried to stop the war but started it himself without calling it a corruption?

That’s why everyone called him the devil.

Everyone in the world called him evil and wanted to kill him.

wanted to block

He tried to destroy the false tenacity with the belief in his sword.

Criticized and criticized him, and in the end broke his sword.

< Sorrowful Fall >

But there were definitely people who couldn’t call him evil.

his anger. his sorrow.

Those who watched his struggle.

Those who perished while protecting Titeo.

However, the soul remained and those who were by his side could not criticize Titeo’s actions.

Knowing that Titeo truly weeps for them.

Even though the color of the tears weeping sadly is marked by corruption, we know that the heart contained in them is the same as before.

they stayed with him.

to regain his honor.

For the one who will hand over the honor he will find.

asked again.

So, what is in your sword? What does it contain?

looking at them

Colliers thought.

‘Here, there is no such thing as a complete strategy like the second floor.’

There is no weakness like Vlady who couldn’t break the shield.

The demons would bite off the sore spot of Callius with their three tongues, and the Skeleton Knights who died because of Titeo were demanding proof from him.

Titeo, who had imperfect convictions.

Paradoxically, he despaired at the whispers of the devil and ended up completing a firm conviction.

‘However, he has fallen.’

In the flashbacks seen so far, it is clear that his convictions have been completed and the wall has been torn down.

But what about the results?

he has fallen

So they ask.

Even though he was determined and determined, Titeo again despaired and cried.

But only you

that it could not be

I was asking if I could beat him.

So, said Colliers.

“There is nothing dwelling in my sword.”

The faces of the demons are filled with joy.

The eyes of the Death Knights shook.

“That’s why it can nest in anything.”

whether it be human, dragon, or evil.

or.

whether god

“I am a pilgrim.”

A pilgrim is one who goes on a pilgrimage.

Or the one who seeks his own sword.

and.

“I am the one who finds my way.”

Fools wander on the road, but wise men travel.

I am going on a trip

There is no wandering in my path.

The end of the journey will be towards the end of the story.

The pilgrimage is to fill the bowl for me.

So there is nothing dwelling in my sword.

I’m looking for it and I’m filling it up.

So I can be anything.

[There is a god at the end of humankind, there is a god at the end of a dragon, there is a god at the end of corruption, but there is only corruption at the end of god.] [Are

you facing that?]

Callius nodded.

[Does your road lead to an end?]

“Yes.”

There is no hesitation.

Because my wish is only one.

[What is at the end of it?]

Callius raised the corner of his mouth.

I am a pilgrim

There is only one end for pilgrims.

“I have my sword.”

to find your own sword.

That is the meaning of pilgrimage.

This is why the moving foot does not break.

Woooooooooo!!

The momentum of those standing on the 4th floor changed.

A gale blows.

[Prove it.]

The knight’s spear pointed at Colius.

Right behind him was a sword and shield.

Finally comes the mace and axe.

Wow!!!!

The air is shaken by the clouds of their feet.

My skin goes numb at their momentum like an iron wall.

However, the challenger is Bondi.

one who proves

Colliers had to prove himself.

He had to convince them with his sword.

[Your nothing sword.]

[Titeo’s will can dwell.]

Prove it.
