EP.104 Just Dance
Historically, what tool has killed the most animals?
knife? window? Or an ax made of stone?
Not all.
From ancient times, the most brutal and simple tool for killing animals was none other than a rope.
A human weapon with blunt fingernails, fine hand skills, high intellect and consequently innate cruelty.
“Keep it! Cuckoo! Big!”
“Welcome~. To the land of fantasy~.”
The colonel’s seething voice and my hum are in harmony. I pushed his back with my foot and pulled the rope tighter.
Sudden strangulation can lead to panic. Instinctively, the colonel made a futile effort to free himself from the ropes that were strangling him.
‘What happened?! I’m strangling. whoever!’
The survival instinct awakened everything in the colonel. He followed the command of the lieutenant general and was firm in his thoughts. After coming down here, he started to think for himself.
Pull up the qigong and put it around the neck. Protecting his neck with Bantan Qigong and Strong Qigong and securing minimal blood flow, he thought with his eyes wide open.
‘Labourers! Dare to be a prisoner. Surprising an officer!’
Thoughts run intermittently. After holding his breath and assessing the situation for a moment, he became extremely enraged.
‘I just strangled myself! Do you think you’ll beat the officer!’
Despite being strangled from behind, hostility springs up.
I guess what makes me angry is not the combustion reaction. If you see it burning even though you blocked the oxygen.
‘I’ll show you the difference in strength!’
Fortunately, the back of the body is a place that is difficult to reach.
Attacking from the back requires a plan.
If you make a plan, it reads to me.
let’s dance
The colonel’s elbow flew at my shoulder. Turn back after being strong.
Step your right foot back half a step and bend your back lightly. Because of the limited range of motion, his elbow stopped just before reaching me. It was a risky move to the extent that it was thought that the sum was matched in advance.
I smiled and briefly lengthened the rope that was strangling his neck, then wrapped it around his right arm.
The colonel’s right arm was tied around his neck.
‘Right hand! This child…! Then how about this!’
Next is the feet. It’s about to shake me off with my hind feet now that I’m so close and my view is blocked. If I hadn’t read thoughts, I’d have been kicked out.
If only I couldn’t read your thoughts.
As much as he stretched out his leg, I took a step back. As if dancing a couple dance, the colonel and I moved step by step while holding close to each other.
couple dance?
It’s just a thought, but the analogy isn’t bad.
Except for the fact that the other person is a bear man.
Today is this. I whispered in the Colonel’s ear.
“I won’t let you go anywhere, partner.”
‘The bullshit…!’
I read the other person’s mind, respond to it, and follow it as it is.
I naturally keep pace with people I’m seeing for the first time, and I’m sure to be the best dance partner in the military.
‘Oh, no. Out of breath…’
Attempts to escape fail one after another.
If you try to turn your body, pull the rope tight and turn at the same time.
If you stir your arms and legs, you move your body just that much to accept the unreasonable motion.
The colonel who is trying to push me out with anti-tank air. But pushing and pulling is my field. If you gently release it and grab it again, stop.
No matter how riotous we are, the distance between the colonel and me is always half-half-step.
Through the rope, his pulse is transmitted minutely. The climax is over, and what remains is the finale, which gradually fades away.
This dance will not end until the song of life is over.
‘I’m dying…?’
A little or quite late, but death passed through the colonel’s head. Desperation comes to him along with fear.
I’ll finally be honest
“Grund McKinsey. You’d think you survived because you were brilliant. After going through all sorts of hardships, he must have become the lieutenant general’s henchman and become confident in doing something that could change the world.”
Saddam is indispensable in the couple dance. Pulling tight on the rope, I whispered in his ear.
“You’re Lieutenant Colonel Callis, who was only a little dumber and a little luckier.”
‘I… am… that… with litmus…?’
“Just because you are in a position to use someone else’s life doesn’t mean you have two lives. Sometimes people get confused.”
He lets out a sigh of relief. As if he boasts of a sigh he can no longer exhale.
“Now it is your turn to be tested. Are you ready to put an end to your life, Grund McKinsey?”
‘Oh, no.’
He had no intention of dying. No, he hadn’t thought too deeply about it in the first place. They just fell together according to the command of the lieutenant general.
The only emotion he has is the despicable sense of superiority he feels while beating Lieutenant Colonel Callis. The colonel felt a sense of relief and superiority as he put the chain that was supposed to be around his neck instead on Kalis.
The lieutenant general kept him alive, not because he was better, but because he was stupid.
The hand of the living instrument is stretched out in vain. His earnest gaze reached the butterfly.
‘butterfly…! help me! What a drug-sucking beast! I’ll give you medicine, so help me!’
Even if the butterfly had been slightly less poisoned, it might have reacted differently to this crisis.
A butterfly purring on top of a magical plant without even looking at this one. Calis was reflected in the abandoned colonel’s eyes.
‘Calis…! save me…! Don’t stay blank…!’
If he hadn’t put the chain around his neck, Calis might have pondered for a moment. But now, Calis has lost the will to resist and is only staring blankly at this side.
However, the karma the colonel has accumulated so far has already happened. No one can change the past…
except for one person.
‘No… no…’
The last, the last. The colonel tried to get me off by rolling on the ground miserably. It was at this moment that he tried to bend forward with all his strength.
Right before that power was exerted, I tripped on his leg.
The colonel’s heavy body tumbles unsightly. At the same time, I, who was strangling myself, also goes along.
But even in the middle of it, I rolled one lap without letting go of the rope. Falling to the ground, I lay on my back and pulled the rope up to my chest. He stretches out his left arm, but cannot get out of this condition with one arm.
The thoughts of the person underneath are gradually darkening.
“Goodbye, Grund McKinsey. He was once the main character of a brilliant world… but he survived thanks to abandoning his thoughts and becoming a tool. It’s always sad to see a book that has become a copy of something, but a summary from a different perspective would be worth it.”
After the finale, the music that gradually faded like that reaches the end of the sheet music.
it was cut off
A period was stamped on one book.
I let go of the rope. The pressure mark on his hand rose red. He sighed in exhaustion, took out the skewer he had hidden in his feet, and stood up.
The first thing that caught my eye after getting up was none other than Tyr. Tyr was watching me, accompanied by a blood horse. If I had fallen out during the dance, the blood demon would have rushed over and turned the colonel into mung bean cake.
I’m glad I didn’t. Because I didn’t want to bleed if possible. I raised my hand towards Tyr.
“I missed you quite a bit, Tyr.”
At my greeting, Tyr approached me with tears in his eyes.
“Are you okay? Are there any injuries?”
“A little heart?”
“Where did those reckless bastards do what! How is your heart hurt?”
“As the black knights I trusted to protect me were smashed, my heart was torn apart as well…”
I flinched.
Tyr, who was preparing for a touching reunion, stopped suddenly at my sudden bruise. The bloody eyes trembled in a different way than before.
“I’m sorry about that.”
“no. It can be. The dark knights are quite useless. It was a well-known fact… But they said that it was an authority that destroyed a city in the past. Excuse me, were cities made of sand back then?”
“That thing… was stronger than this in the past… and…”
Tyr blurted out his words, avoiding his gaze as if he had committed a crime.
After grunting for a while, Tyr wiggled his fingers and added a little.
“There is something I haven’t told you. My hematology is not perfect.”
huh? what is this sound?
At the sudden confession, I opened my eyes wide and shouted.
“yes? What do you mean?”
“If darkness is a vessel, the power of blood. Originally, I had to move with blood and a part of my power in the black knight, but… I don’t know why, but now I can’t freely handle blood.”
Come to think of it, when the lieutenant colonel was stabbed by a suicide packet and bled, the blood didn’t move for some reason. I should have doubted it, but it was too common sense, so I passed it.
than that! What the hell is going on! Why did I risk my life to get my heart back! Is your hematopoie weak?
Having been scammed for the highest price ever, I cried out in injustice.
“what? Are you weak because you are by my side? What the hell is this about?”
“That guy… I’m sorry.”
“No, this is all my fault! Aji is on my side, but he doesn’t help at all, and Tyr is on my side, so he suddenly becomes weak! At this point, I am the problem, I am the problem!”
I deliberately turned away from Tyr, who felt ashamed, and lamented while beating my chest.
“people! The walking inhibitor is here! If you want to be weak, come and be my ally! You can see what weakness is!”
“Oh no. There is nothing wrong with you. It’s all my fault… I should have kept it by my side…”
“It’s unfair, it’s unfair! If you’re going to do this, give me back your heart! Give me what I gave you!”
Tyr opened his eyes wide and held his breath. Tyr, who looked down at the ground with a sad and resentful face, closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind and raised a finger to his chest.
“…i get it. It’s yours, so I’ll give it back…”
“No, but what if you really want to give it to me? Do you take our jokes as jokes?”
If I had my heart removed and returned as a cold blooded vampire, I don’t know what they would do to me. No matter how weak you become, it’s better to be my ally. At least it’s not negative.
Thanks to my desperate attempts to dissuade him, Tyr’s heart was saved. But Tyr, whose confidence was greatly diminished, murmured gloomily.
“…I didn’t know that a single soldier could be that strong. Even though he is a lieutenant general lower than the captain, to think he would be that strong… It seems that the world has definitely changed. It’s hard to follow.”
“No, of course he is strong. It’s not even the name of someone’s dog, Captain.”
“A lot lower than that… a colonel? I never thought that even a single soldier could easily subdue the black knight.”
“No, I am not a soldier. I am an officer.”
“…? Aren’t they both the same thing?”
Somehow, this person seems to think that the term captain is synonymous with the nasty guys like the captain of the mercenaries or the captain of the bodyguard. The colonel below him is the 1st general.
If the colonel had barely been promoted while rolling around like a dog under the lieutenant general, his uniform would have exploded and he would have died.
dear. I should have told the colonel what the ‘real’ Tyr had to say instead of babbling like me.
After all, it is civilians who are outsiders to catch soldiers.
Anyway, explaining the organization of the military to a girl from 12 centuries ago is a bit difficult. I just nodded and changed the topic.
“Ego. What are we going to do with that drug-guzzling cat until Mr. Shay calmly organizes the lieutenant general, who is not a captain or anything?”
At my suggestion, Tyr asked in a less confident manner.
“Should I attack…? Hugh As you probably know, the king of beasts emits a roar at the threshold of death. The king of beasts that emits a malevolent voice is a very troublesome opponent. Shay just dragged a fight against the Cat King.”
what. When did I say I was fighting? I gave the face lightly.
“Why do you want to fight? Not very strong.”
“Yes…”
This reaction might be a little funny. He smiled at the shrunken Tyr and shrugged.
“You have to be good at coaxing. There must also be that magical plant. I’ll calm you down a bit with some medicine. ”
It was then.
A stream of blood flowed from the dead colonel’s mouth. It smells like fishy blood. Since Tyr could not control blood, the scent of blood slowly spread.
Hey, I died from strangulation, but why does blood come out?
The smell of blood can excite beasts, so I tried to keep it out as much as possible.
A little bit of blood would be fine…?
Unfortunately, that was when I thought so.
