Eun Ha-In looked at Jin in surprise:
"Jin...did you go to find a sword...?
Jin turned around:
"Behind my back...Don't leave."
Tae Kang looked at his cut arm:
"You...are using quite strange powers."
Then he thought to himself:
"My body was created to be unkillable...But why can't my wound heal?"
"The Qi you have is quite unsettling...I need to make sure I get rid of you." He said and attacked towards Jin, Jin barely dodged this attack.
"Did he dodge it?!"
Tae Kang got angry and started to make rapid attacks one after another, but Jin was barely dodging them all.
"SON OF A BITCH!!!"
....
As Hin Mi-San went to help, he realised he heard a voice from the bushes.
"Who the hell are you?! Show yourself!"
Out of the bushes comes the Captain.
"Huh? Co-captain?"
"Captain? What are you doing?"
"What do you mean, what am I doing? I almost died!"
"What are you saying?! All our comrades were slaughtered by those bastards! Shouldn't we avenge them?!"
"What the hell are you talking about?! Now is not the time for that! We need to get away now!"
"Those men were loyal warriors who believed in you!! They were willing to sacrifice their lives for someone like you! You should at least do your duty for them!"
"Stop talking rubbish, what's it got to do with me?! Oh, for fuck's sake! Let's survive first. We'll take revenge later!"
Hin Mi-san got angry and kicked the captain.
"PIECE OF RUBBISH."
"Wh-What did you say, you bastard?!"
Without saying a word, Hin Mi-San set off for the Sect. On the way, he promised herself.
"I'll crush all the bastards who look down on me and survive! Fuck!!! I'll live!!!"
....
The sect was completely filled with smoke. Tae Kang and Jin were still fighting. Eun Ha-In was injured, watching them and thinking:
"Is he really...the Jin I know? Has he always been hiding his abilities? But even now I can't feel his Qi...Jin Hwan...what kind of martial arts did you learn...?!"
Tae Kang was going crazy as Jin dodged the attacks. He jumped into the air and unleashed another heavy attack.
"CHAOTIC RAIN OF DESTRUCTION"
Jin was surprised to see the attack coming at him:
"I don't think I can survive this!"
....
Hin Mi-San arrives at the sect and finds Yeop Wul on the ground covered in blood.
"YEOP WUL!!! YOU CAN'T DIE YET!!! IF YOU DIE, WHO WILL I VENT MY ANGER ON?!!!"
Yeop Wul breathed his last breath in Hin Mi-San's arms.
"Yeop Wul..."
....
When he saw the attack coming at him, he wanted to protect Eun Ha-In at first, but while he was looking for Eun Ha-In, he saw one of the writings on the wall, and he remembered a technique he had learnt.
"Shadowed Sword of the End! YEIS WAVES!" Shadows began to surround him.
....
Hin Mi-San came to the battlefield after leaving Yeop Wul there, and couldn't believe her eyes.
"Wait?! Isn't that Jin Hwan?! How...? It looks just like a shadow!"
Tae Kang took the opportunity to make an attack towards Eun Ha-In, but Jin was using his technique to block the successive attacks with his sword. He dodged all the attacks and suddenly appeared right in front of Tae Kang:
"I'm going to die...! He's not a normal child!!! I'm going to die...!
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!" He made a big attack towards Jin. Jin was thrown backwards.
"You're making me lose my head. Where do you learn such weird martial arts-" He suddenly realised that his body had received a large cut.
"Ugh...when did that bastard cut me?!"
Jin was struggling to breathe through the blood.
"Fuck...I can't breathe properly...! I'm at my limit...What do I do?!"
Tae Kang came to Jin on the ground.
"You're different from the previous kids and it drives me crazy that you hide your skills...What kind of martial arts did you learn, you bastard? You know...I enjoy fighting with warriors who can put my life on the line...It really drives me crazy to waste my time on someone like you...Other than killing you-" Eun Ha-In attacked Tae Kang with her last strength, but it didn't even hurt him.
Then Tae Kang made another attack on Eun Ha-In. Jin looked at Eun Ha-In lying on the ground in shock:
"EUN HA-IN!!!" Then Tae Kang kicked Jin, who was on the ground, and Jin's condition became more critical.
Suddenly, someone shot a large amount of ice attack at Tae Kang through the smoke. Eun Ha-In was surprised:
"SUN-RYUNG?"
Tae Kang looked at the other person in front of him:
"So...you've finally arrived...the witch of the White Night..."
The witch looked at Ha-In.
"Eun Ha-In."
"U-Master?"
"Tae Kang, you shouldn't have come to earth."
"It was Red Night who created me, witch..."
Sun-Ryung started to bandage Eun Ha-In's wounds, and thought to herself.
"Look at what my young lady has become because of this child, it wasn't supposed to be like this! It's all because of this boy."
Then he picked up a knife:
"I have to kill him."
At that moment, Eun Ha-In grabbed his cloak and said:
"Sun-Ryung...please don't kill him..."
"But my young lady...he's a frightening monster hiding his claws! A threat to our future-"
"It was he...who saved my life."
"Tch."
Meanwhile, the Witch and Tae Kang were fighting. Tae Kang was barely dodging the attacks.
"Shit...after being attacked by that kid's weird Qi...my wounds stopped healing."
The witch continued to attack. Suddenly, she whispered quietly.
"MOONLIGHT AXIS."
She sent out two circles blessed with Qi from the left and right sides. This attack was very bright. Everything was illuminated.
"Great Demon Tae Kang...my...sole purpose of joining...is to hunt people like YOU!!!" He wanted to respond to the attack by saying, "Everything was suddenly illuminated." Jin fainted at that moment.
....
When Jin opened his eyes, Tae Kang was nowhere to be seen, only the White Witch was in front of him.
"That man...escaped...You must be the last and only descendant of this sect...I'd better kill you here."
Suddenly, Eun Ha-In appeared and stood next to Jin.
"Please stop, master!!! He's someone I owe...Please, I'll do as you ask."
The witch had experienced something similar in the past, she suddenly remembered them and nodded.
"Fine, but...you will learn the techniques I want."
"As you wish, master."
"Jin, please swallow this." Eun Ha-In hands the life ball to Jin.
"Haha...I'm sorry for showing you such an embarrassing side of me-" Eun Ha-In hugs Jin tightly:
"Now...I have to go."
"Okay..." Jin couldn't hold back his tears either.
....
After everyone left, Jin was left there alone. And at that moment, he made another vow to himself:
"I swear on the heavens...I will be stronger."
While all this was happening, Hin Mi-San was quietly watching everything from behind a stone and was shocked.
"I suspected that you were not a normal person, but I never imagined that you would be so strong...I got goosebumps...I never thought in a million years that your swordsmanship would reach this level...I can't believe that you have been hiding your strength all this time!"
He suddenly remembered the day he had an epiphany, the voice coming from inside his brain seemed familiar to him for a moment.
"Wait...So he was the one who enlightened me before...? Why did he do that for me...?"
Suddenly Jin got up and started walking in a pool of blood.
"Where is he going? I wonder what he's planning..."
"If you're planning to kill me, isn't now the time? Are you hesitating?" Jin called out to Hin Mi-San.
Hin Mi-San came out of hiding, but Jin walked away without speaking.
....
Jin's wounds were getting better day by day, Jin and Hin Mi-San were the only ones in this rundown sect.
"After five days you finally got out, what are you doing?"
Jin starts to search the inside of the ruins without giving any answer.
"What are you looking for?"
Jin again doesn't answer, and finds the rock that Mr Zheng brought in amongst the ruins.
"A rock?"
Jin ties it tightly around his waist and moves closer to Hin Mi-San.
Hin Mi-San stands up:
"Ahem...! Are you leaving?"
"Yes, it's time for me to leave. What are you going to do?"
"Ah, I have to go back to the unit, if I leave here, I'll be the only survivor of this incident."
"If you do that, they'll torture you for information."
"Oof...Yeah, you're right. But don't worry, I swear on my life and the gods that I won't tell them you survived, and I'm really sorry about what happened before."
"No problem, I understand."
"Thank you for accepting my apology...And thank you for enlightening me at the time..."
"Ah...Well...Haha...I didn't do much."
Hin Mi-San suddenly stomps his foot on the ground, kneels down, and begins to speak out loud.
"I, HIN MI-SAN, FROM NOW ON I WILL BE MASTER JIN HWAN'S SERVANT!!! I SWEAR BY THE GODS, THE HEAVENS AND THE SKIES THAT I WILL DEDICATE MY LIFE AND DEATH TO MASTER JIN HWAN ALONE! FROM THIS DAY FORWARD YOU ARE MY ONE AND ONLY MASTER! MY LORD, I BEG YOU TO ACCEPT! I WILL BE YOUR SWORD THAT SLAYS YOUR ENEMIES!!!"
"Stand up."
"Yes, my lord."
Jin put his hand on Hin Mi-San's chest:
"I have listened to the voice of the will...I accept. You will be my first sword."
