[ The reason why Baek Jung-hyuk decided to make his own sword came from an incident.
when he was 18 year old.
At that time when the structure of the succession of the Magyo had not yet been decided, Baek Jung-hyeok spent many days working hard and drained his blood due to conflict between his brothers.(Translater note - Magyo is a name which mean demon cult, or devil cult or devil school)
Unlike his other brothers, he had no basis to protect himself, and he had no choice but to spend his night half awake because of the daily assassination attempts on him.
Then one day.
A guest came in the middle of the night.
It was his 11th brother.
Baek Chang-hyeon attempted assassination to kill Baek Joong-hyeok, and a bloody battle broke out between the brothers in the night.
The battle between them was very intense.
Baek Chang-hyeon was also a person who also claimed the bottomless cave, and even after he was badly injured and blood was dripping from his body, he tenaciously attacked Baek Joong-hyeok's vital points.
The physical power difference between the two was huge.
As Baek Chang-hyeon was born first, he showed physical superiority, and the sword that Baek Joong-hyeok had been cherishing for a long time started breaking due to Baek Chang-hyun's powerfull attack. ]
[ Kwajik!
And after a powerfull attack from Baek Chang-hyeon.
Baek Jung-hyuk's chest was cut in the attack and his sword was broken.
Blood started to drip from Baek Jung-hyuk's wounded area.
At that moment when the fear of death approached him, Baek Jung-hyuk boldly his chest as a opening and slashed his opponent's face with his broken sword.
Baek Chang-hyeon's face, which was filled with ecstasy, and was terribly crushed, seeing these Baek Joong-hyuk took the life of his opponent.
That day.
Baek Joong-hyuk thought.
He need his own sword.
He wanted a sword that would never break during battle and would fully utilize his current physical abilities.
After that incident Baek Jung-hyeok, became famous as a self-righteous man after dealing with the 11th brother, and learned the art of making swords by visiting blacksmiths unlike his other brothers from that day onwards.
From that day, whenever a decisive battle was going to happen ahead, he made a sword suitable for his current strength.
A sword that can elevate one's condition to the best by complementing things such as physical characteristics and the characteristics of the current preferred sword technique.
Decades have passed like that.
Baek Jung-hyeok rose to the apex, and fought hundreds or thousands of battles in the process of unifying Moorim.
Every year, Baek Jung-hyuk's changed his sword.
Every time Baek Jung-hyeok made a new sword, he passed down the old sword to his subordinates, and from a certain point on, The 39 swords where handed down from generation to generation, and where called 'The swords of the Heavenly Demons'.
A treasure that was priceless for the people of Moorim.
The moment the sword of the heavenly demon was released in Moorim, a battle was fought for it, and it is safe to say that Baek Jung-hyeok's production technology, which has developed through countless battles and years, had reached the pinnacle of the craftsmanship.
The act of making a sword.
It was familiar to Baek Joong-hyuk. ]
And now.
Roman was preparing for a battle with Barco.
His first sword in the new world.
Roman was hammering on the steel as the way as Baek Joong-hyuk.
In the warehouse where there had been no footsteps for a while, the sound of a strong knock on steel resounded around.
Kaang!
Fire was burning in the furnace.
Roman, struck the red-hot steel with the hammer, performed the same action over and over again with a certain force and rhythm.
In the warehouse where only the sound of a fire burning in the furnace and the sound of striking steel was coming, Roman sweated as he faced the scorching heat head-on.
Kaang!
Kaang! Kaang!
Roman fell in a state of trance.
Roman loved the moment where his goal is do a single thing.
What was just a piece of steel at first will be born into a wonderful sword due to his repeated actions.
Even when he made the first sword in the past life, his servent did not understand Baek's behavior.
There were many swords in the warehouse, and if he want he could pick up any of them and use them.
Rather than wasted time on making a sword, they thought it would be beneficial to hone his skills in that time.
They where not wrong.
However, Baek Jung-hyuk went beyond simply making swords and looked back at himself in his own world.
'What do I live for?'
His purpose of life.
Even after completing everything, he didn't realize it.
Because he had Chunma as his father, he had to live in a world where weak where pray of strong from young age, and as he passed the obstacles in front of him, people suddenly called him the best in the world.
He didn't think it was bad.
Human beings donot living there life as they originally planned from start to finish, but they are creating a story according to their instincts.
it's was still the same for him now.
Although Roman's was a new life for him, Baek Joong-hyuk was faithful to his reality and also to his past.
what he see in front of him.
He accepted the divorce for his new life.
The first step was when he subjugated Blood Fang.
In order to sort out the affair with Anthony Barco, he was now prepares a sword for himself and prepares for upcoming battle.
Baek Jung-hyuk, it was his new life.
'My current state is not at a level that can withstand all the variables. With the metamorphosis of the skeleton, I will be able to use the first three steps of the Celestial Swordsmanship', but in the Roman world, there will be many variables that he was not aware of. Therefore, he had to train himself harder because of the world he don't know, the powerful enemies he don't know. So that no matter what happens, he will always be the winner.'
Roman was like predator.
Defeat was unacceptable to him.
In the world where weak are pray of the strong, defeat means death, so Roman always wanted to remain as a predator.
Kaang!
A strong shock occurred.
Roman's face was drenched in sweat from the scorching flames, and the muscles of his naked shirt twitched and glowed red.
It was an unusual sight.
Normal blacksmiths wear protective gear in the process of working.
It is to protect there body from the heat of the fire from the furnace, but it also where because when they knock on the steel, hot pieces will jump out and they may get burns.
Hendrick also where protective gear, when he met him at the blacksmith's shop and was getting ready to work, but Roman, who is now pounding steel in front of the flames, was wearing nothing other than his trousers.
he knew it too that it was dangerous.
However, making a sword was also another way training of Baek Joong-hyeok, who at the same time made a weapon suited to his current self and also practiced martial arts.
Whoops.
gurgling rumbling.
With the suffocating heat, Roman accepted the heat.
He used Celestial Demon Godgong.( Translater note - Celestial Demon Godgong is a forging technic of Roman )
Roman's body was engulfed in flames.
Chloride Sacrifice.
It a martial art technic of Moorim that Roman uses the power of hot flames to quickly build up mana in a short time.
According to the common sense of the world, these methods cannot coexist.
It is common knowledge that people who use the Celestial Demon Godgong cannot use the Chloride Godgong, but Baek Jung-hyuk's, The Heavenly Demon has raised his affinity for energy to the limit as he progressed so he had no problem doing it.
This made it possible to coexist the two marital art technic. The Celestial Demon Godgong took his place in the danjeon and took charge of everything, and even if other forces from outside flowed into the interior, no harm occurred to his body.
coexistence.
Roman absorbed the heat.
He gradually made the heat rising from his danjeon his own, so that the hot flames could be nourishment for the his body.
'These training method was the best method that he can choose. If he use it too frequently, his lungs and internal organs will be damaged, but now that he had prepared everything in the same way, and as the metamorphosis of the vertebral column happen, he can fully withstand the fire of the furnace.'
Kaang!
Kaang! Kaang!
He started to swung the hammer vigorously.
' The act of making swords. '
Facing the fire with his body, Roman calmly and meticulously began to examine his body condition.
arm length.
strength of force.
The amount of mana that can be used.
While calmly examining the state, he recalled the shape of a sword suitable for him, in his head.
It was exactly the shape that suited him right now, and Roman thought it will be enough to do his job.
At the same time.
Mana was accumulated in his danjeon.
He had identified his enemies so far.
Considering the size of Barco and the mercenaries they hired, it would not be problem from him to face them in his curry state.
However.
Variables are invisible to the naked eye.
Obviously, the scale of mercenary and soldiers hired by the Braco had been figured it out by information guild, but it is impossible to fully understand what kind of preparations they made in the process of conquering Lawrence without the person involved in it tell others about it.
In Moorim he had known his lesson that every buddy hide there Trump card.
In a world where all kinds of humans are on rampant, fully revealing one's strength to other is a shortcut to death.
Barco.
They too may have there own Trump card, and Roman knew that such a variable could cost his life.
so that why.
He hoped for the strength to oppose all the variables.
In the process of subjugating the faction pf Moorim, the brains of the Zhuge Sega put Baek Jung-hyeok in a corner with numerous variables, but his overwhelming force disintegrated them all.( Translater note - Zhuge Sega is the name of enemy which he face in his past )
When he didn't fully understand his opponent's power.
The simplest way to solve the problem is by having enough power to prevent variables from working in the first place.
'I have not yet fully grasped this world. The strongest person I have ever experienced was the commander of the Knights Jonathan, and he said that the status of 3 stars aura swordman was ver big to that extent, that he was recognized by the Cairo kingdom. But in these world, there are also four-star aura swordsmen, five-star aura swordsmen, and even six-star aura swordsmen. And there are unknown beings who use the power of magic that they have never experienced before. Even if I can overwhelmingly defeat Captain Jonathan, there is no certainty that unknown beings are also something I can deal with them now.'
He took a long breath
He sucked in the mana of the surrounding and he slammed his hammer on the steel.
Kaang!
'I had to train'
'Because I had accepted new people around me.'
People like Hans lived in the fence he had built, so Roman had no intention of being defeated.
like that.
one day, two days.
Time passed.
Roman's body became stronger and stronger.
Just like making his own sword, he accepted the hot flames and trained his body.
And when ten days have passed.
tuk!
Finally the sound of hammering in the warehouse stopped.
Roman's first sword.
For many person, there first thing is very special to them.
Roman looked at the sword in the sun, and a smile appeared on his face as the light glided down smoothly.
'This sword is perfectly suited to me now.'
The production period was short.
Although ten days was not enough time, he succeeded in producing a sword at the level he needed thanks to the passion and experience of his past life.
It was not an ordinary sword sold in the market, but it was able to accept his mana better than any other lump of steel, and it had all the conditions of the sword perfect for his physical capabilities.
His first sword reparation is over.
Due to the heat boiling in his danjeon, Roman gave the sword a name.
"I will call you salamander after the name of this world."
He took the sword
It was now his turn to attack his opponent Barco.
