Episode 624 My territory, my person (1)
Tuduk-
duk-
drop by drop.
Raindrops fell through the blurry clouds.
Even as the ground became muddy, the heat of the battlefield was higher than before.
Like Philes, Hongyoung nodded again.
As if to adjust the posture.
Holding the sword tightly, she moved one step faster.
Kwaaaang-!
The two middle-aged men who tried to catch the Seonggi had no choice but to step back.
After that, Soyoung also clung to him.
It was quite a struggle to deal with her, who attacked her once in a while while dodging with her small body.
Without a moment to wake up to their connection that flows like water.
A shout came from one side.
“Wow!”
The eyes of the middle class gathered at him.
There, the powerful Leven Mercenary Corps was driving the goblins to their fullest.
For a moment, the goblins armed with weapons seemed to resist, but it was a futile effort.
As the mercenary corps advanced, led by the elites who fluttered their swords, the spirit of the goblin troops was weakened.
Seeing that, Hong-young and So-yeong were quite anxious.
Was it because I saw a gap for a moment?
After the two middle-aged men regained their swordsmanship, they immediately counterattacked.
“Haap!”
The upright sword stretched out with spirited spirit seemed burdensome to face.
As he naturally twisted his body to avoid it, Karan’s sword path twisted and bent as if he had already anticipated this.
Piik-!
“……!”
I had to finally give up my shoulder, and Hongyoung stepped back.
“Hongyoung!”
“If I turn a blind eye, I will play the sutra!”
“Aww!”
The two men who seized the victory were driven fiercely.
As the battle began in earnest, the blades formed naturally on the swords of Karan and Philes.
It didn’t matter to Hongyoung, but it was to death for Soyoung, who couldn’t fully raise the aura blade.
A smile spread across Philes’ lips as he faced Philes while pulling out the clumsily raised Aura Blade.
“It’s too much to say it was achieved at such a young age. It’s my sincere compliment, so the way to the end won’t be unfair.”
Along with the words, a thick aura welled up from his sword.
like a single flower.
slowly.
However, when the mana that arose without slowing down fully bloomed on the sword, a red aura blade bloomed.
Soyoung quickly opened up the distance.
There’s nothing good about facing them from the front.
It’s frustrating, but the opponent is a master.
It was self-evident that he would not be an opponent in terms of the power of the aura or the skill of the sword.
As soon as he ran back, Philes chased after So-young at breakneck speed.
An angry voice came from behind.
“If you are a soldier, fight like a soldier!”
“Sounds funny! I am Assassin!”
He replied in an angry voice, but his insides burned.
I had to abandon my colleague again.
On the battlefield where lives come and go.
I let go of the one closest to me.
Is it a reaction against him?
Soyoung gritted her teeth and ran away with all her might.
Among the receivers, she is the one with the fastest legs, competing for the top job.
As they decided to run away, the distance gradually widened.
In the end, Philes gave up chasing So-young and had to turn around.
* * *
Ray crossed the woods.
With overflowing mana at the forefront.
When the river comes out, it’s half a day again to show the skill of jumping up and down the cliff and jumping with both feet.
Running like that, I was able to enter the Duchy of Soleil.
“Where are you?”
He spread his senses widely and searched the surrounding area, but it was difficult to find the place where the goblins lived because it was such a wide territory.
“Search.”
When he uttered the starter word, mana created a wave and spread throughout the area.
Unfortunately, there were only signs of wild beasts in the vicinity.
Ray decided to let go of his impatience.
Before entering the center of the principality.
Dozens of times to spread the spirit around the outskirts.
Just as they were about to cross over to the center, they began to feel numerous presences from the north.
Ray hastened his steps.
Filled with mana and fired a new model, the tall trees came into view.
Soon after, I saw the poorly built castle wall, so this must be the goblin’s dwelling place.
I could see corpses left carelessly here and there beyond the bushes.
It is an unfamiliar sight.
The thick smell of blood made my head dizzy.
The smell of blood must be familiar.
It was not very pleasant to see a large crowd of people lying around with the corpses of goblins.
On the way to the center of the presence.
A small figure passed by.
Because it’s a very familiar vibe.
Ray hurriedly stopped his steps and called her to stand.
“Soyoung.”
It was a small voice, but it was enough to stop Soyoung.
The voice of the master and servant imprinted in his head.
At the call, the body stops on its own, and soon it makes me get down on one knee.
Soyoung raised her head.
Mysterious white hair.
Even the robes, now turning to sunset, discolored to green and light brown.
That impression is because he is the person he has been waiting for so long.
Instead of any words coming out of Soyoung’s mouth, only a gasp of ‘Ah…’ came out.
“…”
The hardships of the past.
The ordeal I endured.
Reconciliation with numerous emotions burst out at the same time.
Even the thought of asking him how he was doing didn’t dare come out of his mouth.
I just silently closed my lips.
How can you not know the complexity of subordinates that you have seen for a long time?
As a result, Ray’s atmosphere also calmed down.
“…Where are the other receivers?”
Soyoung lowered her head at the quiet words.
I was ashamed of myself for leaving my friends on the battlefield over enemies and finally showing my back.
Because I was miserable to face the person I served in the most embarrassing moment in my life.
His head fell as if it would touch the ground.
Looking at her like that, Ray was able to guess the situation to some extent.
Bondi’s life is a serious law for everyone.
How could he, who knows that better than anyone else, blame her?
“Soyoung.”
“…”
“Human beings are originally creatures struggling to survive.”
“…”
The answer still did not come.
After observing her reaction for a moment, Ray silently shook his head.
“Now is not the time to be like this.”
Leaving Soyoung alone, Ray moved toward the starting point of the uproar.
So-young fell on her knees, unable to raise her head until the end.
Shoot –
It rained hard.
Rain-soaked hair runs down indiscriminately.
The sword scars cut here and there must have been painful.
She did not move from her seat.
* * *
“Aww!”
Karan couldn’t help but struggle.
The woman named Hongyoung was strong but too strong.
To the point where my grip would start to ache after just a few clashes.
Her sword was so strong that even facing it was not easy.
When you can’t guarantee victory alone.
Philes, who had been chasing So-young, returned and joined them.
“I will help you!”
The tide of the war, which had been pushed back, was reversed in an instant.
Was it unreasonable for Hongyoung to deal with two masters at the same time?
Scars began to appear all over the body.
“…”
The two couldn’t help but admire Hongyoung, who didn’t groan even once he was cut and kicked in the stomach.
Are you saying the author is truly a woman?
“…Hongyoung. Also you are awesome You are stronger than anyone I have ever met.”
that it is strong.
It wasn’t just physical strength.
She had a spirit that could never be broken.
No amount of words or impact would bend her will.
That’s how strong she was with the sword, and the way she practiced martial arts was beautiful. I wonder if it was too much to step on and fight on the ground that
was
completely muddy because of the strong rain.
Hongyoung, who started to run out of mana while dealing with the two masters, had to give it a chance once or twice.
Piik-!
“…”
The side was cut quite deeply.
Hongyoung, who stopped the bleeding by covering her entire body with mana, threw herself again.
The attack was still fierce, but there was no momentum like the first time.
It must have been because he was tired of leading the fight with his wounded body.
“I’m going to have to put an end to it now.”
Instead of regret, there was relief on his face.
to fight the strong.
She went to the battlefield expecting only that, but in the end she was also human.
If the battle is prolonged, he gets tired, and if he is wounded, his swordsmanship is shaken.
Even the bitterness came over the sight of even the one who was called a strong man, unable to regain his balance and staggering.
In the end, even a master who is considered to be on the verge of becoming a god cannot escape the bonds of a human being.
While thinking that, I was about to share the last sword.
A quiet voice came from afar.
“Two people hitting one woman. Isn’t it too naive to be called a knight?”
At that, Karan and Pyles’ heads turned so quickly that they snapped.
Even though he only heard the voice, his whole body seemed to freeze for an instant.
Is it like this when a mere small animal faces a predator?
The leisurely prayer that flowed naturally was something that could never be seen from a criminal.
“Who are you?”
Asked by Philes, who parted his lips with difficulty.
The young man raised his eyebrows slightly in response.
“Zeke. He is leading the Duke of Trey.”
Duke of Trey.
It was a renowned swordsman in the holy kingdom.
Even the Lessian Empire, which is praised as the hometown of the sword, is a family with such prestige that Myeong-suk visits it once or twice to ask for lessons.
Zeke walked slowly toward them.
“I heard you are looking for a strong man. From now on, I will deal with you.”
He speaks and draws his sword.
The two of them were nervous when the sword body was pulled out without a sound of friction.
It was only an ordinary sword, but I couldn’t even imagine how much martial arts was contained in that one sword.
Originally, Sieg had few people to deal with.
Now that he had gained enlightenment and pioneered a new realm, he had become a monster.
Was he relieved that he was there?
Hongyoung, unable to control her slowly closing eyelids, eventually collapsed.
