Episode 234:
The room where the dead were gathered together. Nobaek looked at each person.
The moment I saw his bare face, I frowned and took a step back.
This was the same for Zhuge Un and Namgung Cheon.
“It’s… rotten?”
They looked at the blood righteous with a look of disbelief. It had a face so hideous that it could not be considered human.
It was not like a stab wound or burn, but rotted like a corpse.
However, they were not Gangsi.
Although it was similar to a jiangshi, it certainly seemed to be alive and moving with will.
Parr –
Bangnobaek’s mouth trembled.
“I’m sorry, but I have to move their bodies to the Murim Maeng.”
This is by no means ordinary.
I don’t know who created this, but if there is someone who uses such magic, it is definitely a threat to the martial arts.
This was not just a problem in one area, Honam Danga.
Zhuge Un also nodded, agreeing with Bang Nobaek’s opinion. It would not be a bad idea to use the power of the Murim Alliance in this situation where Dan Woo-hyeon is not present in the Honam Dan.
There will be something reliable that can protect unit prices.
“Then I will call for the Golden Ringmaster. “I will send it to Hanam as quickly as possible.”
At Zhuge Un’s words, Bang Nobaek nodded and turned his back. The completely unthinkable had happened, so it was time for the opening to move.
We had to catch them even if we had to search through all the information in the central region.
“Haa….”
Namgung So-hye sighed as she stayed in Dan So-mi’s room instead of her own. Although things were somehow sorted out, their images still did not disappear from my mind.
‘If I don’t get a little stronger…’ Namgung Sohye muttered with a bitter expression.
If he had been a little stronger, he would have been able to protect Dansomi alone. I thought that the reason I couldn’t do that was because I still had a weak heart.
Namgung So-hye sighed and stroked Dan So-mi’s face, still unable to wake up.
“Thanks to you, I survived. “If it weren’t for that, I really would have died.”
“…Consider yourself lucky.” Namgung Sohye smiled.
I glanced around and looked at Bicheonwoong hiding in the shadows.
“You know this kid, right?”
“…Why do you think that?”
“Because Sal Hwang, who is famous for being cold-hearted and cruel, showed up as if he wanted to protect this child, and nowhere else.”
Even though she always looked disheveled, Namgung Sohye was still Namgung Sohye.
With a quick judgment of the situation, he inferred the relationship between Salhwang and Dan Somi.
Her eyes turned sharp.
“It was a relationship at one time. “I stayed in the village where that child lived for a while.”
Namgung Sohye gently grabbed the sword.
“So you’re saying it might have something to do with this kid’s village getting to that point?”
“…don’t stop me. “It happened while I was away, and by the time I arrived, everyone was already dead and only that child remained.”
“Are you the one who removed the body?”
“…Yes.”
“Did you abandon Somi in Akyang?”
“Yeah… I couldn’t take him with me.”
Rain Cheonwoong appeared through the shadows and smiled bitterly. If I had been there, it might have ended without anyone dying.
But he was late, and all the kind-hearted villagers became corpses.
They organized and buried the bodies one by one, and placed the unconscious Somi in Agyang.
I couldn’t bear to take him with me.
The child was too bright for Bicheonwoong, who was walking down the road with blood on his hands, to take him in. I didn’t want to get blood on my hands.
So I thought it was for the good of that child to leave him alone.
Whether it was to die or to live, it was Somi’s destiny no matter what kind of life she would live.
“…He’s a good kid. “It’s a new feeling to see you again like this.” “But it seems my role ends here. “If we’re meant to be, we’ll meet again.”
Seuuuuu-!
Bicheonwoong’s body disappeared into the shadows.
It felt as if he had already disappeared from the world, as there was no longer any trace of him.
It was surprising that the world’s Salhwang was moving alone, but I thought that the relationship between him and Dansomi was truly a great one.
‘Maybe this kid dragged it in…’
thought Namgung So-hye, who was looking out the window.
What would have happened if there had been no Bangnobaek or Bicheonwoong?
Since Namgungcheon was there, it would have been necessary to block it to some extent, but someone would most likely have died and someone would have been seriously injured.
The martial arts skills of the people who attacked were outstanding.
Namgung Sohye let out a small sigh.
‘Is it your luck… or is it your lover?
It was late at night, but Jang Sam-tae couldn’t sleep.
I secretly left the manor and ran towards the nearby mountain.
Dan Woo-hyeon probably wouldn’t have known that Jang Sam-tae had gone out, but seeing as he didn’t come after him, he didn’t seem to be very interested.
“How can I hold on to things that even the imperial family couldn’t hold on to?”
Jang Sam-tae, who was climbing the mountain, complained.
I am desperately hungry to finish this arduous journey even just for a moment, but for some reason I am not satisfied with the fact that I am wasting time in vain.
Jang Sam-tae chose a place that didn’t seem to be frequented by people and stopped.
Then, he took a nose-down stance and increased his attack power.
Pangpangpang-!
He was chewing the cud over what he had learned, starting from Gyeonggong.
He was also learning how to use air power to complete the technique he had learned from Dan Woo-hyeon.
Recently, the closer I got to Changbai Mountain, the more anxious I felt.
That’s why I had to push myself a little harder and train.
Although it may not change the fact that it is a wastewater, Jang Sam-tae devoted himself to training for a long time.
The level of concentration was different from when I learned it in a leisurely way until now, and it felt like I was seeing a different person.
Perhaps because of the intense training that continued during the two sessions, my entire body was drenched in sweat. Only then did Jang Sam-tae stop dancing and begin to go down the mountain with a tired expression.
“I don’t know what I’m doing.”
Haha, I let out a long sigh.
At first, he simply wanted to live a comfortable life by sticking to Dan Woo-hyeon and Dan So-mi, but as he began to get involved in martial arts affairs, he ended up learning martial arts in order to survive.
Was it when the real start came when we went to the Demon School?
It was such an arduous journey that I still feel dizzy when I think about that time.
With that in mind, I started trudging down the mountain. It will soon be dawn, so if you don’t get some sleep, the day will be difficult.
Sreuk-!
Then I heard the sound of grass rustling.
Jang Sam-tae, who had been spreading his energy according to Dan Woo-hyeon’s advice, stopped walking and turned his head to the right. It was very late now, and this place was a remote place where not many people seemed to visit.
But can you hear the sound of something rubbing against the grass?
‘Is it a wild animal?’
I thought so at first, but then I shook my head.
It was loud for a wild animal.
I slowly approached there with a puzzled expression. The sound began to get louder and louder, and Jang Sam-tae’s heart also beat like crazy.
I even wondered if there was a ghost or a wild beast lurking there that I couldn’t handle.
I swallowed my dry saliva and moved forward, sensing the sound.
Finally, let’s clear away the tall bushes. There was a man.
Next to him, three children were seen unconscious, their entire bodies tied up. Jang Sam-tae’s gaze naturally turned towards the company, and the corners of his mouth suddenly trembled.
The man sitting down was taking off his pants.
Crunch crackle-!
The intense sound irritated my ears.
I could see a disgusting smell and foreign matter pouring out.
The moment Jang Sam-tae, who was disgusted by the shocking sight, took a slight step back! With a sound, a fallen tree branch broke.
The man who was doing his business quickly turned his head.
Jang Sam-tae and the man’s eyes met.
The two didn’t say anything to each other for a while.
I just stared and watched quietly.
Finally, Jang Sam-tae took a step back. Then the man sat down and secretly grabbed the sword that had been left by his side.
Jang Sam-tae, who was looking at it, sighed.
“Keep pooping, you bastard.”
The moment he heard those words, the man rushed over. The fiercely drawn blade flew towards Jang Sam-tae with such force that it seemed as if it would cut his whole body to pieces.
“Aaaah!”
Jang Sam-tae, who was startled, started running to avoid it.
However, the man’s movements were unusual and he seemed to be moving faster than expected, closing the distance in an instant.
After seeing that, I realized that he was quite an expert.
“It’s poop so cum! Why did you come after me without even cleaning it, damn it, damn it!?”
“Tsk!”
The man’s face blushed at Jang Sam-tae’s shout.
The man’s sword was imbued with a strong killing spirit, as if he was determined to kill Jang Sam-tae.
However, as he quickly ran away from here and there, there was nothing more frustrating than this from the man’s perspective.
Papapot-!
Jang Sam-tae tried his best to avoid the shower of blades. Although it didn’t hit the opponent, it was enough to pose a threat.
The man quickly blocked it and retreated.
Jang Sam-tae, who had gained a certain distance, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you trying to kill someone just because you saw him poop? “You damn newbie!”
“…die.”
“You crazy guy!”
The other person couldn’t communicate.
It seemed like it wasn’t just because I was caught doing it. Samtae Jang opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then I glanced behind the man.
Despite all the commotion, I saw children lying quietly as if they were dead.
The moment he looked at it, he seemed to notice something and sighed and waved his hand.
“Oh my, that smell… is my intestines rotten?” While saying that, I glanced at the other person. Although he was still expressionless, it was clear that he was agitated looking at his face, which was very red.
Jang Sam-tae slowly took a stance.
“I don’t think they’ll just let me go… I don’t think I can just go… There’s nothing we can do, so let’s give it a fight.”
It was clear that Dan Woo-hyeon would scold him if he went back like this, so he had to fight at least.
Return to War
