< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 90 >
“Wow!”
Dansomi let out a small exclamation and was unable to continue speaking. As well as the tall cliffs, the waterfall pouring down through them was enough to make you doubt your eyes.
The sound of a waterfall hitting your ears and the thick mist.
The sight, which was completely different from the pouring rain, was truly eye-poppingly beautiful.
It’s not that she hasn’t seen the waterfall until now, but since it was her first time seeing such a sight, Dansomi couldn’t take her eyes off her for even a moment.
bang-!
Kwa-kwa-kwang-!
“Ugh…!”
“omg?”
However, on the other hand, Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong could not keep their mouths shut for another reason.
The sight of the Emperor Wuhuangseong building seen from afar being split in half and collapsing.
Afterwards, I heard heavy drinking in succession, and even if I looked closely, I realized that something unusual had happened.
I was wondering if I should go back, but Dansomi, who was watching the waterfall, had no intention of moving.
“I… I think something is going on. “He passed away…”
“It’s been a while since you came out, already?”
Dan So-mi sighed with a very regretful expression. I came out to get some fresh air, but I didn’t feel like going back to my guesthouse without even being able to see the sights properly.
“But… it looks like something big has happened. It could be dangerous…”
But Jin Tae-gong was adamant.
Emperor Wu was attacked.
As the Safa people will start running rampant, there is no way to know where and what will happen. Moreover, isn’t the next place to go a little closer to Emperor Wu?
If possible, I didn’t want to go near it.
“It’s okay because I have Uncle Rain. Yes?”
“…okay. “I will protect you.”
Eventually, Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong realized that they could no longer stop her as they heard Bi Cheon-woong’s words. Since Salhwang, not another person, speaks like that, how could they, who are worse than ants, say anything?
I just had to nod my head in a cold sweat.
Kwa-kwa-kwang-!
“So where should we go next?”
“Big!”
“Ah… that one? Ho ho ho. This… If you go a little further from here, there is a Daru in a place with a nice view of Pu. Let’s have tea there and then move on.”
Dan So-mi smiled and nodded vigorously.
Enjoying tea in Daru is also tasteful.
There is nothing more to say if the scenery there is good. It would be much better than listening to the banging noises in a place like this.
And at that moment, Dansomi turned her head and asked.
“Are you okay, uncle?”
“…okay.”
A being that is always there but cannot even be felt unless you see it with your eyes. That’s why Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong swallowed their breath and lowered their eyes to the floor.
I can tell that my body is shaking without even realizing it.
A person who can not be discouraged even in front of Namgungcheon and Sadohak.
A human being who feels nothing, like a ghost.
Isn’t he one of the five emperors?
If I had known there would be a person like that, I wouldn’t have followed Dansomi. It would have been much more profitable to follow Maehyang, who had gone to look for Jang Samtae.
Jin Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong really wanted to cry.
* * *
Kwaaaang-!
“Kaaak?!”
“Hee hee hee!”
Emperor Wu’s city was truly in disarray.
The Imperial Palace, which was the symbol of Sapa, has collapsed so absurdly that the small number of people who have invaded are beating up people without any mercy.
Even if you cut with all your might, you cannot cut, and even if you pour out all your strength, you cannot inflict even a single wound. How can something like this happen?
For them, this current situation is truly terrifying.
All around us, our friends are bleeding and dying, pleading for help, but no one can save them because of one reason.
Fear
, they are fear.
The moment I face it, my whole body trembles and I can’t even put proper strength into my hands. As they instinctively realize that they cannot win no matter what they do, there are more people trying to run away than those trying to fight.
Kwa-kwa-kwang-!
One person in particular.
When lightly cut with a knife, the shrines fall apart.
Everyone watching was speechless and held their breath at the sight, as if they were about to blow up all the palace buildings of the Emperor Wuhuangseong without a trace.
How could a person….
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Is it possible to blow away an entire palace with just one sharp slash of a sword?
“Now…Elder! “Is this a dream?”
Kwon Hyeong-tae trembled.
Is the scene unfolding before your eyes really real?
If it’s not a dream, does that mean it can happen in reality?
A person can destroy a palace with a single cut of a knife?
Isn’t this something that even the Red Army couldn’t do in its heyday?
“We must run away too…. Musketeer, we must run away!”
“Running away?! Are you saying we should abandon Emperor Wu?”
Kwon Hyeong-tae frowned as he looked at the elder’s face.
Throwing away Emperor Wu is the same as saying that you should lose everything. Now that he has brought down Jeok Mu-seong and gained everything he had, is he going to lose it again?
The moment when Kwon Hyeong-tae grits his teeth at the nonsense.
“Have you tried turning your brain around a bit?”
I heard a voice.
I trembled without realizing it and looked toward the direction from which the sound came. The man who had been destroying the shrines one by one just a moment ago was standing there in silence.
The moment we make eye contact.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
From head to toe.
My breathing stopped with the feeling that even the fine hairs were standing on end.
Do not make eye contact.
The man’s appearance was so creepy that it made me think that way.
“Okay… what kind of nonsense are you going to make now?”
“What the hell… who are you…?”
Kwon Hyeong-tae had no choice but to ask.
This is because I couldn’t figure out what kind of grudge he had for destroying Emperor Wu’s castle and killing him.
But the man didn’t answer and just laughed.
Kwon Hyeong-tae raised his eyes and portrayed a red-faced look, full of ridicule, as if there was something really bothering him.
“…!?”
“It’s not good…”
Dan Woo-hyeon, the man, spoke while looking at the people standing in front of him.
They said it was the best group in Sapa, but they were full of disappointment.
I immediately realized why they were not being treated properly due to political factions and demonic religions.
Emperor Wu’s castle collapsed and many people took up swords, but everyone was different.
People were seen here and there trying to survive with their own lives, unwilling to unite against an overwhelmingly powerful force.
This is what happens when you lack pride in your belonging.
Although it has become a single mass, individual power and strength are more important than the sense of belonging. This was also the reason why no one was able to respond properly even though so many people were beaten and their palaces were destroyed.
“How about getting help from Cheonjigyo?”
“…!?”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who had lost interest, looked at Kwon Hyeong-tae again. When the name of Cheonjigyo came out of his mouth, his embarrassed expression was clearly visible.
Now, their expressions are filled with questions as to how they know about the Church of Heaven and Earth.
Dan Woohyun shook his head.
Phew!
“Gagging?!”
And at that moment, the neck of the elder nearby was pierced.
Even though he couldn’t even be seen taking a single step, he approached the elder’s side and extended his sword. The person whose neck was pierced grabbed his neck with both hands, hesitated, and then fell down.
The blood seeping out was soaking the floor.
“It’s only like this….”
“Huh?! What… what are they doing! “Hurry up and don’t kill the author!”
Only then did Kwon Hyeong-tae, who was so scared, raise his voice and urge those around him. The booming voice showed how urgent he was, but the strange thing was that despite the commander’s order, no one came forward.
“The lord of the castle… The lord of the castle must step forward….”
“Commander! Where on earth is Seongju!?”
“If we continue like this, we will all die! “Hurry to Seongju!”
Those who did not follow the commander’s words shouted and desperately searched for the enemy castle. Isn’t it strange that Jeok Mu-seong is the head and pride of Sapa?
They could only think of one person who could protect them in this situation: Jeok Museong.
“Huh?!”
However, Kwon Hyeong-tae could not bear to answer.
What do you do when you find someone who has already been poisoned?
And even if he were here, would he save me?
There has never been anything more disgusting than this, seeing that the people who shared the power of the Red Army and whined about it are now looking for him to survive.
“I’m telling you to shut up and stop it!”
Immediately, he shouted harshly and pulled out his sword.
He unleashed his momentum and rushed towards Dan Woo-hyeon. It’s as if he’s pouring out everything he has toward the person in front of him.
If interest cannot be prevented, Emperor Wu will no longer exist.
Because he heard such ominous feelings, Kwon Hyeong-tae risked his life.
Soon his sword swung violently.
Kang-!
“…!”
However, the situation that unfolded before my eyes was even more shocking. It was clearly a sword that he put all his energy and strength into, but Dan Woo-hyeon easily blocked it with just a quick movement of the sword.
Also, the concentrated power must have been completely transferred to him, so why is he still standing still?
“He’s not even half as good as the Red Army.”
“What… what?!”
Suddenly, a light flashed before my eyes.
I couldn’t understand the meaning, so I raised my eyes wide, but why was blood dripping down? Why doesn’t my body listen to me again?
The scenery before my eyes was gradually turning red.
It feels as if something has been cut and blood is flowing.
“Big… wow…!”
Sigh!
Soon, Kwon Hyeong-tae’s body split vertically and collapsed.
The sight of him sprawled out with an expression that did not even know that he had died was enough to bring extreme fear to those watching.
“Second… Musketeer…!”
“What… this is ridiculous…!”
“Is it the right person?”
Everyone looked at Dan Woo-hyeon, thinking the same thing.
Although his ability to destroy countless temples before his eyes was nothing short of amazing, he was able to not only overwhelm but completely trample on Kwon Hyeong-tae, the current second-in-command of the four factions.
This was enough to move the hearts of the Safa people who were not united even though they were not.
“I don’t want to die! “I… I don’t want to die like that!”
One person’s cry spread loudly.
That one word was like a word that spoke for people’s hearts and had the effect of pushing those who were unable to take their first steps naturally.
“Ugh!”
“Me… me too me too! “How are you supposed to stop something like that?!”
Everyone who was watching Dan Woo-hyeon began to run away.
