5. Preparing for a duel – 07

A long time ago, a very long time ago. It is said that there was a bad dragon in this world.

A huge dragon with seven heads and ten horns topped with a crown.

The dragon, who was given power, throne, and authority by the ‘old serpent’ and allowed to exercise that authority for 42 months, is said to have ruled the entire world with its mighty power.

The dragon has the power to deceive people, and people worshiped and praised this beast that would destroy the world, and eventually drove the world to the brink of destruction.

At that time, it is said that the seven heroes rose up against the evil dragon, and after a fierce battle, they sent the dragon back to the depths of the abyss.

And the fighting technique that one of the seven heroes, Geomseong, used to defeat the dragon was the ‘Dragon Dance’.

A martial art that specializes in dragon killing more than anything else in the world to defeat dragons that humans cannot resist.

It was created to slaughter the dragon, but in fact, in order to defeat the dragon, it reproduces the dragon’s power, imitates the dragon’s breath, and imitates the dragon’s senses.

That is why ‘Dance of the Dragon’ can only be used by those who have inherited the lineage of the Duke of Pendragon.

This is because a mere ordinary human body does not have the capacity to fully reproduce the power even if it performs the dragon dance.

However, since the descendants of Pendragon are born with the supernatural ability of synesthesia, they are only capable of accepting and accepting him.

– But you are somewhat different.

“Why?”

– A descendant of Pendragon, who currently has the ability of synesthesia, dwells in your head.

Currently, Erekaya Del Pendragon is quietly nestling in a corner of Jin’s mental world with her soul intact.

A situation in which two souls dwell in one body. However, the two souls do not reject each other and are in a state of harmony to some extent.

– In other words, if you have my cooperation, it means that you can use the ability of synesthesia very little. Furthermore, it can be said that the minimum conditions for reproducing the ‘Dance of the Dragon’ are in place.

“By the way, isn’t synesthesia a very ambiguous ability to be honest?”

– What do you mean?

“No, it is. Others breathe fire from their hands, shoot thunderbolts, and move through space, but isn’t it too small an ability to share one sense with another?”

– Well, definitely not. The ability of synesthesia can’t be said to be such a grandiose ability when you look at it from the outside.

However, Erekaya added a word.

– You will feel it as you practice. Why did the Duke of Pendragon, who possesses the mysterious ability of synesthesia, become famous as the strongest warrior in the empire?

Saying that, Jin stood in the middle of the magic range that Claire had introduced to her as a place where she usually trained magic, and drew out her sword.

– Before starting the training in earnest, let me tell you in advance. Humans can never surpass dragons.

Dragons are the strongest creatures on earth. Dragons are incomparably gigantic, strong, and nimble, and can manipulate magical powers in the air casually.

The dragon’s eyes see into things that human vision does not allow, and the dragon’s wings enable it to fly to heights that humans cannot survive.

And the dragon’s ‘sense’, which oversees all of that, is said to far exceed hundreds of thousands of times the sensory capacity that humans can accommodate.

– The reason why the dragon dance imitates the dragon’s abilities is to meet the minimum fighting requirements. Not by any means to counter their power from the front.

The difference between a dragon and a human is like comparing a human to an ant. Even if dozens or even millions of ordinary humans attacked it, it would not be able to inflict a single scratch.

– The dragon’s scales are harder than anything else in the world. The dragon’s breath is hotter than anything in the world. The dragon’s claws are sharper than anything in the world.

And whoever dances the dragon’s dance imitates that dragon’s ability.

– Realize that you are strong. Realize that you are faster than anyone else. Realize that your own sword is sharper than anything in the world.

Then, at the end, the dragon’s soul dwells in the sword.

shake.

The sword in Jin’s hand moves freely. Erekaya applied her ability of synesthesia and transferred the ‘correct sense’ of wielding a sword to Jin as a whole.

A sword dance takes place. A beautiful sword dance that draws an incomprehensible trajectory that even the wielder does not know.

And at the same time as the dragon dance unfolded, Jin felt that the world around him expanded dozens of times.

“…!”

You can see ‘sound’ and ‘smell’ through your eyes. You can feel the ‘taste’ of the air in your ears. It becomes possible to ‘see’ objects that are out of reach of his eyesight with his fingertips.

And he felt that his sixth sense, which oversees all of it, was directly linked to the five senses, and the amount of information he could process increased endlessly.

Although the distance was limited, within that range he could be aware of everything. Even if he wanted to, he would be able to detect the sound of other people’s heartbeats and muscle movements.

‘Oh My God.’

Although it was not his own power, but an ability that Erekaya had lent him for a while, Jin’s entire body trembled as he tasted this feeling that expanded dozens of times over his existing senses.

How is it possible for a single human being to accept and accept such an enormous amount of information? It’s like… Isn’t it a sense of God, not just a human being?

If you can wield a sword while being surrounded by these senses, no one will be able to block Jin’s single sword except for those who have reached the level of a Master.

– Do you understand now? That’s the dragon dance.

And Erekaya smiled while looking at Jin’s reaction as if she was satisfied with it.

– It is a divine martial art created to approach dragons and eventually hunt them down.

****

beautiful.

That was the first thought Erekaya had as she gazed blankly at the sword Jin was wielding.

It didn’t mean that the sword he was currently wielding was beautiful. It didn’t even mean that the realm of swordsmanship he was using was supreme.

Outwardly, his sword was very immature and very crude, like a person unfurling it for the first time in his life today.

The black ‘dragon dance’ he was wielding was certain. Because Erekaya’s synesthesia told her that the swordsmanship she was using was the ‘dragon dance’.

However, his swordsmanship was literally poor.

The original subtlety of the ‘Dragon’s Dance’ disappeared everywhere, and instead, only crude and crude swordsmanship remained in its place.

If someone unfamiliar saw this scene, they would probably click their tongues and say that they would be drawn to the swordsmanship someone taught them, rather than practicing swordsmanship.

However, Erekaya, who possesses the synesthesia of those inheriting Pendragon’s lineage, could only look at the sword he was spreading as if something had spilled.

His sword was rough. But there was an unknown skill in it.

His sword was rough. However, there was an unknown sophistication in it.

His sword was crude. However, there was a far-off sword law that she didn’t know about.

The ‘dance of the dragon’ he is unfolding… Surprisingly, it was the ‘dragon dance’ that surpassed the dragon dance that Erekaya knew.

Yes, to make an analogy, should we say it is the ‘Dragon Dance’ that Erekaya, 10 years later, reestablished and completed after endless training?

It has very powerful power, but at the same time, it is an art-like swordsmanship that has been disassembled and reassembled at the end of the incomplete martial art called ‘Dragon Dance’ that cannot be mastered without the supernatural ability of synesthesia and genius talent. .

Even if he sometimes misses the sword, sometimes gets out of position, and sometimes loses his balance and falls down, his appearance was never to be disparaged.

“Ahh.”

Involuntarily, she let out a moan through her lips. How could I not be impressed? How could I not be ecstatic?

The tip of the sword she dreamed of, the ideal she had always hoped for, was right there.

My heart starts beating like crazy. My view of the world is extremely narrow, and I feel as if only that man and myself remain in the middle of the world.

“…!”

continued Her synesthesia connects with that man’s synesthesia. It starts to fuse very naturally, as if it had to be that way from the beginning.

‘why… ?’

I couldn’t understand. This must be a resonance phenomenon that only appears between close blood relatives among those who inherit Pendragon’s lineage.

But why is there a resonance phenomenon between herself and that man who has nothing to do with Pendragon’s lineage?

No, before that, how on earth does that man perform the dragon dance that can only be used by non-Pendragon blood relatives, and has the ability of synesthesia?

‘Stop, no way-‘

I was well aware that that man had something to do with the Pendragon family.

No matter how vast the world is and how many hidden strongmen there are, few have the potential to produce Masters at the age of a teenager at most.

In addition, Erekaya often sensed that the manners of the Duke of Pendragon could be found in the manners of the Duke of Pendragon.

Of course, all those etiquettes were meaningless in the face of such light and inelegant actions.

Considering all of this, it seems that he must have learned martial arts from a person with whom the Duke of Pendragon had a connection.

It’s really possible, but it’s a one-of-a-kind story, but I could have had the swordsman who disappeared 50 years ago as my teacher.

However, being taught martial arts by the person of the Duke of Pendragon and having the ability of synesthesia are completely different problems.

Synesthesia is a supernatural ability that only Pendragon’s blood relatives can possess. In the long history of the continent, there was not a single person born with the ability of synesthesia in a place unrelated to Pendragon’s lineage.

And now, even a resonance phenomenon has occurred. Until now, there was only one person who had resonated with Erekaya, her father, Duke Pendragon.

But why the hell is there a resonance phenomenon with that man who can be said to be a stranger, and how is such a perfect ‘dragon dance’ unfolding?

If you look at that man, why is your heart beating so fast?

And there was only one reason that could explain all this clearly.

“no way… he is.”

It’s a hypothetical story to the last, a story that’s too unrealistic, and no matter how much I think about it, it’s a story that makes sense…

he maybe really maybe

It may be a family that shares the same blood as Erekaya del Pendragon.
