Chapter 67
Baekyak shared the insight that the enemies’ tactics were meticulous. And Danwooseong engraved Baekyak’s intelligence into his mind.
Above all, I had never heard of a magical force called the Successors even during the King’s reign. After all, the King never waged full-scale war against magic. It was merely a time when, having become king at a young age, he strove to compete with those bearing the title of Emperor.
Ultimately, destiny would be decided by force once more.
Danwooseong proposed it.
“Miss Baek, it seems the time has come for us to test our skills against each other. Not just a single match, but a detailed contest—as detailed as when I observed every aspect of Lord Baek Moo-jin’s martial arts. For this, I too shall lay bare the martial arts of the Oryo Gate, a sect of the Four Schools, before you, Miss Baek. The martial arts of the Oryo Gate are those of the Fist King; I believe they will also be of benefit to you.”
Baek Yak gazed intently at Danwooseong.
It was no ordinary proposal.
Baekyak spoke with a faint smile.
“Surely you’re not asking me to teach you martial arts?”
“That’s impossible. I’m cultivating the extreme yang energy within me. I’ll never learn ice energy anyway. What we need to understand about each other is the techniques to kill, the methodology of death, the martial arts that lead to death…
These are the things.”
“Wouldn’t that be dangerous for both of us?”
