2000 Years Of Magic History In My Head-Chapter 104: The Incompetence (4)

Chapter 104-The Incompetence (4)

It’s by no means easy to destroy the prejudice of others. Even when the signpost of Byeokgyeokmun was smashed, some people claimed that Gu Gwang-mo lost because Kang Min-hyuk caught him off-guard.

“I don’t think there is a need to accept the defeat of Byeokgyemun as the defeat of the entire warrior; here is as much difference between the sky and the earth as between the four major forces. This is not the defeat of the reinforced warrior, but the defeat of the Wall.”

Kang Min-hyuk’s victory was great. However, the reinforced warriors’ excuses did not acknowledge his achievements; they simply couldn’t accept it. The possibility that wizards, who had been subordinate for a century, might rise above themselves was a predicament that sent subtle panic rippling through the collective mind of warriors worldwide. To dissociate themselves, people devalued Byeokgyemun and Gu Gwang-mo. Only shaving them down would lessen Kang Min-hyuk’s victory and reinforce their illusions of security.

The Wall was a force with a long history, but that was all denied with just one defeat. To highlight the meaning of the non-dance, one of the four major parties had to be destroyed. The four primary forces of Korean swordsmanship were dangerous opponents, and blood would certainly be shed. Kan Min-hyuk knew that he could gain recognition by challenging the small and medium-sized associations – that would be the practical choice, but it wouldn’t have the right effect. He wanted to be known as the most significant force globally and build a tower with that reputation at its foundation. Safe choices weren’t an option, so he took the rough road.

He chose to risk his life in the non-dance.

As the Changcheon Checkpoint’s door opened wide, people stood, waiting, as though they had expected the visit.
