Episode 337
Dansomi slowly opened her eyes late at night and grabbed something. He quietly left the room with a determined look on his face as to what he was going to do.
Fortunately, Jeokmuseong, Sadohak Namgungcheon, and Majanggang were not visible.
Seeing that only Maehyang was sleeping soundly, no one was able to stop Dan Somi from going out.
Shoot!
It was a day with torrential rain.
The storm was so strong that I couldn’t even hear the surrounding sounds properly, and even the animals that had a sensitive sense of smell and hearing seemed like they would lose them all now.
Is that why?
The two spirit creatures that were always next to Dansomi were nowhere to be seen.
“I have to… go home.”
Dansomi, who was being hit by the rain, went ahead without even caring about the pouring rain and wind. Even though I couldn’t see an inch in front of me, I only had one will to go home.
The rain was so thick that it felt like being hit by a stone, but Dan Somi continued to move forward.
I fell over, rolled around, and fell to the ground.
The clothes were torn and tattered in an instant, and red blood flowed all over the body.
“If I don’t go… I won’t be able to welcome my dad.”
Dan So-mi’s lips even turned black due to the cold from the rain. Even though I was trembling, the only thing on my mind seemed to be about Dan Woo-hyeon.
The words of Dan Woo-hyeon, who told him to think of himself as the top priority, are still lingering in his mind, but in order to welcome Dan Woo-hyeon back, he had to be present at the manor. The reason Dan So-mi endured all the loneliness every time Dan Woo-hyeon went on a journey was because she knew that that was the only place Dan Woo-hyeon could return to.
If he doesn’t go to that place just because it was taken away, where on earth can Dan Woo-hyeon return?
Dansomi held back tears as she walked.
All of his actions were so desperate that even if someone had been around, he would never have been able to stop them.
However, since I couldn’t see even an inch in front of me, I had no idea where I was. Although I was just going by feel, the distance was too long to go to the manor just by that, and the weather was not good.
How long did it take to walk like that?
Running, walking, and falling for more than two hours. By now, Maehyang would have gone into an uproar upon realizing that Dansomi had disappeared from the house.
It wasn’t that she didn’t feel sorry for Maehyang or others, but it seemed like the only thing that came to Dansomi’s mind was Danwoohyeon.
At that time, I heard a sound from somewhere.
At first I thought it was thunder, but the sound that gradually came closer from a distance made me feel that something was approaching.
Dansomi suddenly raised her head.
It’s a ringing sound that is somehow familiar to my ears.
A tremor came from deep within my heart. Before I knew it, my body was shaking, and my pale face turned even bluer.
My breathing became rough.
bang!
A deafening thunder exploded.
Dansomi covered her ears and sat down on the spot.
The sight of him trembling gave me a sense of familiarity.
“please! please! “Please… help me!”
“help me!”
“Kukkkeok!”
“Kwaaaaaak!”
The sounds heard throughout the village were nightmares from the past that had not been heard since immediately after meeting Dan Woo-hyeon. A memory I never wanted to experience again or recall.
How come it comes up again?
Thump thump-!
The approaching sound, shaking the ground, still irritated Dansomi’s eardrums.
Finally, at some point.
It was as if they appeared, clearing away wind and rain.
Those approaching in black iron armor.
The energy flowing out of his eyes, flashing like a ghost, gave off a coldness that seemed to freeze everything.
“Ah…”
Dan So-mi, who had struggled to stand up, slumped down. My legs felt weak and I was panting heavily, as if I could stop breathing at any moment.
Tap, tap,
tap, those wearing iron armor slowly approached Dansomi.
They approached Dansomi and looked down at the small child, as if they were looking at something rare.
He doesn’t even feel the slightest emotion.
Their hearts seemed like armor they were wearing.
“Ahh!” He didn’t even try to hold a spear or swing a sword.
The moment I just stood there and watched, Dansomi started crying like crazy and screaming. It felt like I was going to lose my mind at any moment, and even my voice was going to explode.
“Sa… help me! Please… ooh… don’t kill my mom! “Don’t…don’t do that!”
Dansomi shrank back, muttering as if she had gone back a long time.
I forced myself to swallow the tears that burst out and cried like crazy in pain.
All the painful memories this little child had from the past were being brought out.
Chin_
Soon, one of the men rode a horse and approached Dansomi.
He looked at Dansomi who was quietly crying and pulled out his sword.
When those sparkling eyes stared at Dan So-mi, So-mi trembled like crazy and desperately searched for that one person.
“Ah… Dad… Namgung So-hye and Jang Sam-tae, who were staring at them from a distance, had no idea what was going on.
We couldn’t get close because they had good senses, and it was difficult to closely monitor the situation from a distance.
Even though it was a stormy day, it was impossible to see the situation clearly.
But…
‘What about that? kid?’ Nam Gung So-hye, who had been watching with as much concentration as possible, tilted her head. Why is there a child in a place like this, so late at night, where not many people go?
Even the men surrounded the child.
Although I couldn’t see his gaze, I felt an uneasy feeling for some reason.
Namgung Sohye grabbed the sword.
“what are you doing!”
“That child could die! “We have to go and save it right now!”
“This is crazy! “ If we leave now,
we’ll all die!”
“How can you stay still?” What Jang Sam-tae said is not wrong.
Although they cannot know the strength of their opponents, just by looking at their felt spirit, they are people who are at a level equal to or higher than Namgung Sohye.
Also, if the rumors about them are true, it would mean that they have a power comparable to that of the Nine Families or the Eight Generations.
It was clear that the moment I left, I would encounter the worst.
I could
also understand why Jang Sam-tae was so reluctant to do so .
But that doesn’t mean you can’t leave the child alone.
“Aaaahhh!”
Soon a sound was heard.
It’s a child’s scream.
The sight of him lying face down, expressing his rejection with his whole body, seemed like he was looking at someone he didn’t want to see.
The moment when Jang Sam-tae and Namgung So-hye stared at that and swallowed their saliva.
“Sa… help me! Please… ooh… don’t kill my mom
! “…don’t do that!”
I heard a voice.
The two people’s eyes widened as if they were torn apart by that all-too-familiar sound. I didn’t know why I was in this place or what I was afraid of.
The two people ran out as soon as they heard the sound. I ran without even thinking about it, as if my body was telling me to take it for granted.
One is far away.
No matter how fast Jang Sam-tae was learning the light attack, he could not close this distance in an instant.
The man grabbed the knife and swung it before I knew it.
“Somi—!”
I heard Namgung So-hye’s cry.
This must be prevented. We must save that child. Such thoughts filled her mind, but the distance was not narrowed as easily as she thought.
Suddenly!
That moment.
split in half
Blood sprayed and splashed in the storm.
The body was cut open and the internal organs were scattered on the floor.
It was only for a moment that the body of the man, who had been standing fine, collapsed.
“A million…”
And there was a man standing there.
He stood up and shook off the blood-stained sword. I looked at each of the people in front of me with a nonchalant gaze. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but his cold eyes don’t show a single emotion.
“All… Dan Confucius…”
Standing there was Dan Woo-hyeon.
The expression on his face as he held the sword was fiercer than ever.
Quickly!
These people, who had watched their comrades die, slowly took their stance, raising their spears and swords without any hesitation. It seems as if it is not a big deal that at most one person dies
.
Dan Woo-hyeon did the same, but they also seemed emotionless.
“Ah, Dad…”
A small voice came out in such a situation.
Dansomi had blood splattered on her face and didn’t even think about wiping it off. It seemed like he didn’t even know if Dan Woohyun in front of him was really the same person or if this situation was reality or a dream.
Dan Woo-hyeon turned his back.
Then he knelt down while looking at Dansomi.
I reached eye level and reached out to touch his small cheek.
When I felt that warmth, I smiled with relief without realizing it.
Dan So-mi’s eyes twinkled wide at Dan Woo-hyeon’s smile.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh… uh… ah….”
Dansomi seemed to have no idea what to say. I stuttered for a while, trying to find words, and finally burst into tears as if I couldn’t even find the words.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A loud burst of crying filled the place. This small child’s voice seemed louder than the sound of the storm.
Namgung So-hye and Jang Sam-tae had to stand there blankly, drenched in rain and listening to the sound of thunder.
at that time.
Pak-!
One of the men thrust a knife at Dan Woo-hyeon. At that moment, the blade unexpectedly broke and flew away, and the head of the person who had thrown the knife suddenly disappeared from view.
Sigh!
A fountain of blood poured out, but not even a single splash hit Danwoohyun’s clothes. I couldn’t believe this ridiculous phenomenon even when I saw it with my own eyes.
Slurp –
Eventually, Dan So-mi fell down as if she was falling asleep, and Dan Woo-hyeon carefully picked up the child and stood up.
“They are wearing iron armor…”
Dan Woo-hyeon stared at them gently.
For the first time, those who had not shown any signs of agitation were watching Dan Woo-hyeon with ominous eyes. The moment his eyes suddenly open. A strong storm struck again.
“Give up even one thought of returning alive.”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s quiet words pierced their eardrums clearly through the storm. There was no one who could not hear it and no one who could ignore it.
Without even having the option of running away while looking into the eyes of Dan Woo-hyeon, who was just standing there, he had to just accept death.
Death-!
A bloody wind blew in the storm.
