-『Author』: Yes
Opened the chest
Gray Wolf died
Murderer died
It came out as a reward after clearing everything

They say if you clear this Destiny Quest, those bastards become hostile instead;;

So I just proceeded without overdoing it to save them, and this happened?
-: Outrageous crime is Recognition
-: Ugh, so refreshing, this is the cider pass
-: Wow, but a Wongeom Ego Sword is quite rare
-: Was Wongeom’s name Ronhart?
Isn’t that a name that comes up all the time when you read his Swordsmen Skill Book?
-『Author』: Ah, so is he the greatest Swordsman of all time?
Wongeom is
Does it mean NO.1 SWORD?
The old man is kinda hip
-He just perfectly established the basic system for orthodox swordsmanship.
Most Right Path Swordsmanship is based on him ㅇㅇ
Rather than Martial Prowess goat
More like a fundamental goat feeling

The Ego Sword is gone too?
Give me back my reward

You have to learn prerequisite skills to learn One Sword Style
『Link』

Now you understand the Creator’s intention properly

“Good heavens…”
A young swordsman looked around and exclaimed.
“Those people… no, those people were all Lord Ronhart’s disciples…?”
A single giant star has fallen.
Numerous stars gathered in one place to mourn the death of the giant star.
It was Wongeom Ronhart’s funeral.
There was no grief that would normally be present at a funeral.
Because everyone knew that Wongeom had met his peaceful end as if falling asleep.
Nevertheless, the atmosphere of the funeral was extremely heavy.
“So in the end, no one, is there no one?”
Sword Masters and other powerful figures of the era.
They gathered in front of Wongeom’s tombstone and discussed their loss.
“Truly, is there no one who has inherited that person’s sword?”
An uncomfortable silence replaced the answer, and soon deep sighs poured out from all over.
No one had inherited Wongeom’s sword.
There was something wrong with that statement.
Immediately, most of the swords they wielded were rooted in Wongeom.
Even so.
What that Sword Master said was clearly true.
“That’s right. As you said, due to our shortcomings, that sword has been lost.”
A Woman called Spirit Sword looked at Wongeom’s tombstone with eyes full of despair.
“Among the countless swords created by that great Swordsman, the most elaborate sword, that is.”
Wongeom. His sword is already complete.
It was a fact that the Swordsmen believed without a doubt.
However, from a certain day onwards, that fact was rewritten.
The combat with the Murderer Blue Lotus.
Wongeom experienced and overcame his limit in the combat with her, truly raising his sword to another level.
Wongeom called his achievement ‘completion’.
In the sense that there is nothing more than this.
Wongeom, who had completed numerous forms and styles but had never attached his name to them.
It was the moment when One Sword Style, the first style to bear his name, was born.
Wongeom wanted to share the Realization he had gained without reservation, as he had always done-
The Swordsmen also willingly asked him for Teaching, as they had always done.
“I should have done my best a little more…”
“Don’t say that. Who here wouldn’t say the same.”
Even so.
In the end, no successor to One Sword Style appeared.
“To make an excuse. That sword━ was quite different from the swords that that person had shown us so far.”
“…I’m not the only one who felt that way.”
A Sword Master drew his sword as if possessed.
With it, he slowly drew a line in the air.
“That is, rather than that person’s sword…”
The Sword Master trailed off and added strength to the sword.
Then, the sword, which had been drawing elaborate and graceful lines, went wild without rules.
Someone muttered quietly as they watched the sword.
“That is, rather than that person’s sword, it was far too… difficult.”
“Difficult, you say…”
Several people nodded at that Expression.
They could tell.
The fact that the Expression ‘difficult’ was a euphemism for ‘violent’.
“Just what did he Realize in that bloody battle with the Murderer.”
The Swordsman who left behind numerous Teachings.
In the end, he passed away without leaving behind a single direct descendant.
Of course, a great Will is not cut off by a single severance.
A rough hand, full of calluses, swept over Wongeom’s tombstone.
Then, other Sword Masters followed suit and placed their hands on the tombstone.
They made a Vow.
“We will definitely retrieve your lost sword.”
Wongeom is dead.
But still, many Swordsmen were following in his footsteps.
Because the foundation and essence of Right Path Swordsmanship was none other than there.
✦✦✦
Wongeom Ronhart.
He, who had borrowed Torben’s body, was looking at Lisir with shining eyes.
Thump!
Thump!
Ronhart felt his heart beating.
The reason why it felt so special was because it was a heartbeat he was feeling again after so long?
No. No.
This is clearly a Sensation that is different from that.
This Sensation, Emotion, which feels unfamiliar because it has been felt for so long.
It was none other than excitement.
He was clearly worried about Lisir’s future, who had a Murderer in his Inner World.
However. More than that, he was feeling Expectation for Lisir.
‘To achieve that level of accomplishment at that age…’
His innate Talent is overflowing, and his youth holds the potential for unlimited growth.
‘That Child might be able to inherit my sword.’
That was one thought that was driving Wongeom, the foundation of Right Path Swordsmanship, right now.
So, Ronhart had great Expectation for the answer that Lisir, who had gained Knowledge of his sword, would give-
And indeed, that Expectation was not betrayed.
-Uh… was that your Swordsmanship?
Ronhart, who pondered Lisir’s words for a moment, widened his eyes.
“Child. Do you have Experience gaining Knowledge of my sword?”
The Strike that Ronhart had just unleashed contained the Reason of One Sword Style.
‘Follow the forms and styles, but don’t be bound by them.’
It was a difficult Reason, Swordsmanship, that had confused the Sword Masters who had been Ronhart’s disciples during his lifetime.
If he felt something just by looking at that one Strike of Swordsmanship, that in itself was a great thing.
But, to go beyond feeling something and reveal Knowledge?
Thump! Thump! Thump!
This time there was no room for Doubt.
Ronhart felt his heart beating like crazy.
“Should I say I have Experience gaining Knowledge?”
Lisir drew his sword instead of speaking.
And, he reproduced the Strike that Ronhart had unleashed earlier.
“…”
Shiver.
Ronhart’s body began to tremble slightly.
“A, again━”
“Yes?”
“Child, can you show me one more time?”
“Ah, yes. Gladly.”
After that.
Lisir reproduced Ronhart’s Strike at his request, and the process was repeated several times.
“Huh? Wait a minute. This is more━”
Ronhart glimpsed an amazing Talent for gaining Realization in that short process.
More than anything-
“Ah, ah, ahh…!”
It was excellent.
Lisir was excellently Understanding the Reason contained in One Sword Style and unfolding it.
‘None of my disciples have ever reached that level of Understanding…!’
For example.
Right now, Lisir was closer to him than any of Wongeom’s disciples.
To the foundation of Right Path Swordsmanship.
Now.
Ronhart no longer harbored any Doubt or Doubt.
‘This is the Child!’
This Child was the Man who would inherit his Will and become the foundation of Right Path Swordsmanship.
Ronhart made up his mind.
“Child. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Ronhart Sha Mart. A Swordsman who was once called Wongeom.”
“I am Lisir.”
“Yes. Lisir. I would like to make a proposal to you. No. No, that’s not it. This is not a proposal.”
Ronhart politely extended his hand to Lisir.
“This is a Plea.”
“A Plea…?”
“Yes. Lisir. I earnestly Plead with you to please inherit my sword. You are the only one who can do it.”
Ronhart’s body trembled greatly at his words.
Now, the Grey Wolf, who was watching everything in the Inner World, Realized the gravity of that Statement.
“Good heavens…”
“Wongeom’s direct descendant…”
Gorein and Dray were the same.
Those who knew the weight of the name Wongeom knew the meaning of becoming his direct descendant.
If he accepted Wongeom’s proposal-
In the future, Lisir would be reborn as the foundation of all Right Path Swordsmen.
“So, will you grant my request?”
“…”
Lisir’s Expression was stained with Anguish at Ronhart’s proposal.
His mouth twitched.
‘Is he talking to the Murderer in the Inner World?’
Ronhart barely managed to resist the urge to shout at him not to listen to that evil Whispers.
Because it was up to Lisir to make the Judgment.
“To tell you in advance, I have already inherited someone’s sword.”
Lisir’s life was drawn in Ronhart’s mind.
He had been receiving Teaching from a great Master all his life, and then, due to some Circumstances, he had been possessed by the Murderer’s thought.
“I see. You wouldn’t be able to achieve that level of accomplishment with your own strength alone. The Swordsmanship you just unfolded was also taught by that Master?”
“That’s right.”
“Then, he must be a great person.”
Ronhart said without the slightest Hesitation.
“…”
Lisir avoiding his gaze with a flustered look.
Ronhart burst into laughter at the sight.
“There’s no need to be embarrassed. Nothing speaks of a Swordsman as well as his sword. Even if you don’t feel that way, the person who taught you the sword is essentially a very great person. I, Ronhart, guarantee it. So, you don’t have to harbor any confusion about it.”
“…I, I see.”
Lisir awkwardly avoided his gaze.
Ronhart thought as he looked at him.
‘He doesn’t seem to be on good terms with his Master!’
It was a good thing for him.
“By the way, I don’t think I’ve heard your answer yet? Ah. It’s because I interrupted you. I’m sorry. Keep talking.”
“…First of all, the person who taught me the sword also values Lord’s Swordsmanship highly. He says it’s definitely a Swordsmanship with advantages to take.”
Lisir was quite surprised.
It was the first time that ‘Master’ had recognized someone else’s Swordsmanship so much.
“Values it highly… There are advantages to take… This is… It’s hard to say this to your Master, but that’s a very bold Statement. From what I can see, he seems to be a very Pragmatic Personality. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm. I’d like to meet him someday if I have the Opportunity.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I guarantee that we’ll get along very well.”
Hahaha!
A very hearty laugh burst out from Ronhart’s mouth, who was looking forward to the meeting.
“Haha…”
Lisir could only smile bitterly.
“So, Lord Ronhart. Excuse me, but if I learn Lord’s Swordsmanship, it seems like it will be a way of selectively taking only the Pragmatic benefits.”
“What does that mean?”
“I won’t dare to call myself Lord Ronhart’s Disciple, nor will I be able to walk the Right Path that Lord Ronhart desires.”
“Hehe, like Master, like Disciple. You’re very audacious.”
“Lisir…!”
At that time, Gorein gestured to Lisir, looking restless.
Right now, his Statement was difficult to dismiss from the perspective of a Right Path Swordsman.
If the other person wasn’t Lisir, Gorein would have shouted ‘Get out!’ a long time ago.
“It’s okay.”
Ronhart stopped Gorein.
“What can I do, I’m the one who’s disappointed.”
Lisir.
Ronhart looked him straight in the eye.
“Then I will set one Condition as well. For the next week. I will give you intensive Teaching during that time. During that time, do not listen to the words of the Murderer in your Inner World at all.”
Ronhart remembers the Murderer’s Sword.
He doesn’t know the Circumstances of how the Murderer infiltrated Lisir’s Inner World.
However, judging from Lisir’s condition, it was clear that he had not yet been consumed by the Murderer’s Murderous Sword.
For the next week.
Ronhart was planning to help Lisir completely drive out the Murderer.
At this moment.
“…”
The Murderer’s Voice heard from the Inner World.
Lisir nodded.
“I understand.”
“Good! Then, go in and rest for today.”
With that, Lisir left the room with his Party, promising to meet again tomorrow.
“Ah…!”
Ronhart also returned the body of Torben that he had occupied.
Wongeom’s Will was imbued in Torben’s sword.
“Lord Ronhart, are you really okay!?”
Torben asked as if he was almost clinging to the sword.
Ronhart replied in a leisurely tone.
“That Child was born with innate Talent. Those upright eyes. Pure Energy. One week. That’s enough. During that one week, that Child will Realize his essence and Realize the direction he should move forward in.”
✦✦✦
The next Breakfast.
It was the time when Lisir would normally be doing his Breakfast Training.
At that time, Lisir faced Ronhart （who had borrowed Torben’s body） in the backyard of the Mansion as planned.
“Hmm?”
Ronhart examined Lisir’s appearance and said.
“What happened last night?”
He read the signs of Fatigue on his Expression.
“Ah. You can tell. I’m sorry for worrying you. It won’t interfere with the Training.”
“Is that so? Well, you know your body condition best.”
Ronhart said that, but he was inwardly displeased.
It was because he had great Expectation for Lisir.
‘I told him to be in perfect condition yesterday.’
To be born with such innate Talent and wander around.
‘There are countless people who are frustrated because they couldn’t even be born with half of that Talent.’
To be intoxicated with innate Talent and walk the path of negligence.
Ronhart had seen countless people who had been ruined like that.
‘He doesn’t seem to have been drinking… Did he spend time with those Woman yesterday?’
Ronhart spoke in a gentle tone, thinking of leading him on the Right Path.
That pure Swordsmanship Talent.
It was safe to say that he was born to walk the path of a pure Right Path Swordsman.
For Ronhart, Lisir was already the future of Right Path Swordsmanship.
“So. What did you do during the night? You don’t have to tell me if it’s difficult to say.”
“I trained in Astrology. Right now, I’ve almost mastered how to descend as a Guardian Saint.”
“…”
Ronhart, who had been carefully watching Lisir, averted his gaze.
“…Astrology, that’s a Swordsmanship I’ve never heard of.”
“Yes?”
