Episode 1302 What the heck is this guy? (2)
Paaaaat!
Hu Jiaming’s eyes were indifferent as he moved forward quickly.
The number of Jeonseo-gu flying in has been rapidly decreasing for some time now.
‘It’s close.’
This does not mean that the number of people conflicting with Haenam Cheonwoomaeng has decreased.
It takes time to face the enemy and send Jeon Seo-gu to report the situation.
This means that they are breaking through the area before Jeon Seo-gu, who is supposed to deliver the news, can take off.
They are just a stone’s throw away.
‘I didn’t get as far as I thought.’
The corners of Hu Jiaming’s mouth twitched slightly.
Should I say it’s amazing?
Or should I say foolish?
Breaking through the siege at this speed with children who have never been outside of Haenam is certainly amazing.
‘This is especially true when you consider that it is not possible simply because you are strong.’
Being strong in arms and being in command are completely different realms.
In particular, from the Hu family name’s perspective, the evaluation of this part is bound to be more relevant.
Because Hu Jiaming rose to his current position not through force but through leadership and resourcefulness.
Leading hundreds of people who have never worked together is no easy task.
However, Hwasan is doing it without difficulty even though it is clear that such an experience is rare for them.
‘Well, it’s nothing new.’
Hu Jiaming’s eyes darkened.
Now I was confident that Hwasan would not be surprised even if Cheongmyeong did something.
There is no need to guess and judge the opponent.
It is enough to adapt quickly like this.
As a result, they are now finally in range of that volcano.
“Hurry!”
“yes!”
It was time to accelerate the chase.
Hu Ga-myeong and those who followed him indifferently jumped over the bodies of the fallen Safa people.
“That’s terrible.”
“Come now?”
“I’m not talking about the body.”
The monster showed his teeth and said.
“Can’t you see it? “He died after being cut precisely in the vital area with a single blow.”
“…Does it look messy?”
“I guess so. “After killing him with one sword, I had to cut him a few more times to even cut off his tendons.”
Hu Jiaming’s face stiffened slightly at the unexpected answer.
“Is it the Volcanic Swordsman Association? That’s not like him. “He wouldn’t be needlessly cruel.”
“If I had been alone, I would have just cut a vital spot and passed by. This is for those who follow. “If the guy who I thought had taken care of him before stands up and swings his sword, he’ll fall without even using his hand.”
“….”
“Where on earth did I experience something like this? It’s not something you can say you’ve learned. Just looking at how he uses a sword, he looks like he’s been on the battlefield for decades. No, it’s more than that. “Even ronin who have lived their entire lives on the battlefield don’t do things like this.”
The monster spoke as if he was interested and showed his teeth.
“If there was a hell and there was a guy who spent his whole life fighting, he would use a sword like this. amazing. “I can’t believe such a swordsman emerges from a political faction.”
“Say unnecessary words in moderation.”
“Cluck cluck.”
The monster smiled softly and said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
“But…”
The monster’s eyes did not miss the bodies of the Haenam disciples mixed among the Safa people.
Their military uniforms, embodying the colors of the sea, stood out clearly even though they were soaked in blood.
“The damage is certain.”
“of course.”
“Well, it doesn’t mean much since they are insignificant people.”
Quack!
The monster trampled on the body of the Haenampa disciple at the same speed it was running at.
The body’s head was broken and exploded, and thick, hardened blood was sprayed everywhere.
“Ugh…”
The person following let out a suppressed moan.
The monster grinned as if it was amused and glanced back.
“why? “Do you feel sorry for me now?”
“….”
“Even though you betrayed your clan, does that mean your affection still remains? That’s funny. “From their perspective, the person they really want to kill is you, not us.”
Yugong was silent with his lips tightly pursed.
The reason I couldn’t bear to protest was because what Lee Jae-ja said wasn’t so wrong.
“do not worry. I’ll let you meet your executioners soon. “It will be a thrilling aftermath.”
Yu Gong was so scared just thinking about it that he trembled.
Those words didn’t sound like a simple threat.
If things continued like this, he would really have to face the death penalty very soon.
So how will they view Yu Gong?
Even though I gave consideration to him so that he could go down and live his own life without abandoning his martial arts skills, the person who pursues his martial arts skills.
I found myself becoming a hunting dog attached to the Sapaeryeon that came to annihilate Haenam.
I am not confident. If I die, I’m dead. I don’t have the confidence to face Haenam.
He can endure any criticism or humiliation, but he cannot bear the gaze of Haenam disciples looking at him.
“no. “I don’t think I need to wait?”
At that moment, Yugong was startled by the monster’s words and raised his head.
Have they already caught up with Haenam?
no. no.
As feared, it was not the situation that Haenam’s disciples faced.
But in a way, it
was just as scary… or even more terrifying.
“Uh…”
A defeated sound came out of Yugong’s mouth.
“You’re alive.”
A person was struggling to get up from a pile of corpses in a blood-soaked meadow.
It was impossible to guess what color the clothes were, with the dead blood dried black on them.
But merit was known. Because the shape and back of that clothing was so familiar.
The image of someone he knew well was superimposed on that miserable back.
“Ah…”
It seems he lost consciousness after being hit by an enemy, but was lucky enough to not die and woke up late.
His comrades would not have been able to look after the person with near-fatal wounds in the urgent situation of fighting the enemy, so they would not have known that he was alive.
The man must have sensed the presence of people running behind him and turned his head with difficulty.
The pupils seemed empty. The murky eyes stared at them blankly, as if they did not belong to a living person.
“Jong Priestess!”
A scream-like yell came out of Yugong’s mouth. It feels like a fire is rising in my chest.
live.
This is not the body I saw on the way here.
Although he looks like he might vomit blood and collapse at any moment, his priest Jonghyo is clearly alive.
“It’s okay….”
“You’re an unlucky guy.”
Slurp.
But at that moment, the sound of a monster pulling out a sword rang like thunder in Yugong’s ears.
“Now wait!”
I love you so much.
The monster with his sword drawn rushed forward and struck off Jonghyo’s head.
Suddenly!
The severed head rose into the air.
“Uh…”
Yugong’s eyes grew so wide that they couldn’t get any bigger.
His hands waved aimlessly in the air, unable to hold anything.
At that moment, Jonghyo’s eyes and Yugong’s eyes met each other in the air.
Jonghyo’s eyes contain nothing, and Yugong’s eyes contain emotions that cannot be expressed in words.
The eyes of a hero who died while fighting against the enemy met the eyes of a coward who became the enemy’s dog out of regret for his life.
He could only helplessly watch as the dull but faint light that remained in Jonghyo’s eyes suddenly went out.
“Ugh…”
Yugong’s hands trembled.
Did you see it? Did he recognize me in his fading consciousness?
If so, what would you have thought? What did Jonghyo feel?
Nice to meet you? Or disgust? hope? Or anger?
I can not know.
Because the person who can tell is already dead.
Because the severed head is already rolling in the dirty mud.
“Ouch!”
I felt nauseated for a moment.
“Uweeeeeek!”
Yugong held his stomach and retched repeatedly.
But there was no way he could vomit anything as he had not eaten anything for several days.
What comes up is just bitter water.
But the nausea didn’t stop.
As if he was trying to somehow push out something disgusting that wasn’t in his stomach but was stuck inside.
“Woo wow…”
At that moment, someone running from behind kicked Yugong, who was bent over.
Quang!
Yugong, who was thrown out, fell to the ground.
They rolled around frantically on the ground soaked with the blood of the enemy’s executioners.
“Keep running.”
“….”
“Or? Should I kill you here?”
Yugong grabbed his trembling legs and struggled to get up.
can’t die You must not die.
If Yugong dies after coming this far, there really is nothing left for Yugong.
All you have to do is lick the enemy’s feet to try to survive, and you end up as a bastard who loses his life.
If you’ve lost everything and can’t leave anything behind, shouldn’t you at least leave behind your miserable life?
Yugong stood up, staggering, and ran away again.
No tears fell.
The only thing that was accumulated was a stronger miasma.
He grinned as if he liked the monster.
‘It’s not malice that really makes people terrible, but a sense of guilt.’
That is why renegades become more cruel and rough.
Ho Ga-myeong spoke softly to Yu-gong, who was running while bleeding from his torn lip.
“I guess you understand.”
“….”
“Now there is only one way for you to live normally.”
Yu Gong turned his head and looked at Hu Jiaming.
Hu Jiaming said coldly.
“Everyone who will know that you have defected will die.”
Yugong’s body flinched greatly.
A complex light appeared in my eyes for a moment.
“Conscience is nothing more than moderately warmed water. When you first put your hand in it, it’s so hot that you want to pull it out right away, but if you endure the pain just a little bit, it soon becomes okay. Even if you submerge not just your hands but your entire body.”
When Yu Gong did not respond, Hu Jiaming took a quick glance at him and turned his head.
Yugong simply ran with his head down.
‘I have no regrets.’
Anyone would have made the same choice.
It is easy to speak the truth, whether it is consultation or justice.
But is there anyone in the world who would risk his life and the lives of his family to carry out that agreement?
So he wasn’t wrong.
So he is not wrong.
No, it doesn’t matter even if it’s wrong.
No one can live by making only the right choices.
It’s just that I was wrong once more.
So just close your eyes and cover your ears.
Then you can live. Then you can save it.
‘Criticize and blame as much as you want!’
A bright blue poison filled Yugong’s eyes.
Now that we’ve come this far, there’s no way back.
It doesn’t matter what he first thought.
All that’s left is to survive in this inescapable torrent.
okay. That’s all.
All you have to do is think about it.
But… no matter how much I promise or how hard I work on my mind, it won’t go away.
Jonghyo’s eyes were dazed and blurry, eyes whose light was fading out…
No matter how much I closed my eyes, blocked my ears, or how much I screamed, they were engraved in my mind and could not be erased.
