The court's face was completely bluish.
"Oh, how...….”
He would rather have denied all this sight, even though he could clearly see the approaching fleet.
How could you do that?
How does it have to be when Shaolin arrives here, of all people?
Coincidence?
It's a coincidence?
Then, there is no way to explain this but to say that it is a hoax in the sky. Only that the sky, which wanted to see how much more desperate he was, created this situation.
But the court thought all of this was no accident.
The reason is simple. It's not anyone else who showed up for that player, but a loser.
a losing battle
It showed a creepy return to the world from Janggang disaster. Isn't the shudder of hearing the news of Janggang still vivid in Hanam?
Coincidence? There can be no such thing as coincidence for that Jang Il-so. Never!
"Ba, Bangjang!"
“…….”
While looking at the ships as if possessed by the court, the ship was approaching plum blossoms more and more.
"Room leader!"
The legal community urgently called the court one more time. His nervous voice pricked the court's ear.
"The longer you wait, the more irreversible it really is! If that ship arrives at Maehwa Island...…!”
It's not a court that doesn't know what this means.
Namgung has already exceeded its limit. Even the word candle in front of the wind feels peaceful compared to the current palace. In that situation, wouldn't it be obvious if all the people, not Shaolin, arrived at Maehwa Island first?
We need to head to that apricot island right now. Before those ships get in the way of Shaolin.
"You must arrive first! Before all the people!"
That ship is definitely fast. But there is still a distance. If you jump into the water right now, you can get there before that ship. Aren't the enemies who disturb them on and under the water tied to that plum right now? Therefore, the player has not yet been missed. At least that's what the law community thought.
But…….
"…when I get there?"
"What?"
At the moment, the court said, "What does that mean?" and the legal community looked back.
The court alternately looked at the boat and the plum blossoms with a frozen face.
"We……."
He paused for a moment. The brief silence was felt by the law community for a long time.
"…what if we get to that island first?"
"He……."
The legal community was unable to speak easily.
Because you don't have anything to say?
No, because I knew there was something young in the voice of the court that he had never felt before.
"…What happened to Namgung? Because I couldn't get out of that island?"
"But the head of the room! If you leave it like that, the palace will be destroyed!"
annihilation
That remark clearly caused conflict in the court. The shivering shoulders of the court were proving it.
But…….
Crunch.
The court soon bit his lips. As the teeth dug in, red blood flowed down his chin and fell. The tips of the toes, which were full of energy, were also digging into the ground. He said so.
"Get back."
"Ba, Bangjang!"
"Don't you want me to back off! All Shaolin's disciples, stay away from the river! Stand by here!"
"What do you mean, boss?…!”
"Why don't you shut up?"
The law community screamed, but the court pressed him.
"Uh……."
It was impossible to resist, so a groan of anguish flowed from the mouth of the law community.To him, Namgung is not just a member of the Great Sega. It was a colleague who endured humiliation together in the humiliating debacle. But now his boss is telling him to just watch the extermination of such a colleague.
The fingertips of the court were shaking.
He also seemed to find it difficult to make this decision.
"……If we go to Maehwa Island like this, we will only fall into the trap of that defeated army. Maybe this whole situation is a defeat attempt to attract Shaolin."
The legal community really wanted to ask.
If the defeated planned such a scheme, why did Shaolin show up beforehand instead of attacking Maehwa Island?
But the legal community couldn't bring it out of mouth. Because I was afraid of the disciples around me listening to him.
And I thought maybe the words would reveal the true heart of the court under this bright sky.
I don't want to know. I don't want to check.
"We are…… Shaolin."
The court made a decision with blood-stained lips.
"What's going on here...…will be watching."
The last voice died down and was barely heard. However, there was no one who didn't know what the court had decided without having to listen.
"……Amitabul."
In contrast to the voice, the distinctive disapproval penetrated the ears of the Shaolin disciples who could not bear to look straight at the island.
“…….”
Namgoong Hwang looked across the river with stunned eyes.
Shaolin, who seemed to be about to jump into the water and come to save them, hesitated and stood back in line.
"What……."
What are you doing?
Why do you stop there? What the hell is there to do?
"Why…?"
I could hear someone muttering clearly.
There was silence.
A terrible silence fell on the island, incredibly, just a moment ago, when the crazed beasts were running around biting each other.
"Why... Why isn't he coming?"
"What the hell…."
Even then, the inspectors of the Namgung Sega still had a weak light of hope. There must be a reason. It's a little delayed now, but soon Shaolin will come across that river to support them.
I believed so.
No, there was no way left but to believe so.
Even Namgung had no doubt at this moment that Shaolin would go down the river to save them.
But…….
"Well, what's that ship?"
A word that came out of someone's mouth spread like a scandal.
The gaze that Shaolin had taken away, which had suddenly appeared, turned sideways. Only then did everyone see it. A fleet approaching this island.
At that moment, everyone here understood what was going on here. This was a judgment by the senses, not by reason.
Namgung Sega's eyes shook greatly. Filled with distrust and fear, he slowly turned to the other side of the river again. Shaking his chin pitifully as if he couldn't take the courage to check the reality he faced.
However, there is always a moment when you have to face the truth.
When the anxious gaze finally reached Shaolin again, they saw it. It's a sound that keeps its seat far from the river.
It was not Shaolin's toes that stepped back as if he had no intention of coming here anymore that drove those who used the name Namgung into despair.What really left them in despair was the absence of their eyes.
I couldn't see the eyes of the Shaolin monks who were supposed to stare here with their beautiful eyes.
Because I'm not watching.
Shaolin of the world, called Murim's Northern Bank. The people of Shaolin, who say they do not bow to any of the world's clans, are now bowing their heads like sinners.
As if they can't face each other.
Even with this distance between them, the guilt is so great that they can't even dare to face each other, turning a blind eye to the Namgung Palace.
How can you not know this?
You'll see what's going on at the moment.
They were abandoned.
"Uh……."
"Uh……."
It is always hope that pushes people into the greatest despair.
Humans do not despair where there is no hope at all. Because I take it for granted.
But a man who finds a faint hope does evil to seize it.
And when we realize that hope is nothing more than a mirage, we fall apart.
"Ugh…………….”
An indescribable great despair began to engulf Namgung Sega.
The fact that Shaolin had been abandoned by his trusted ally, and that Shaolin had turned a blind eye to their death, threw them into a pit of despair that they had never experienced before in their lives.
"Uh……."
A groan of the fatally wounded beast gasped out their lips.
Maybe it won't be much different. In fact, now they are wounded beasts, and now all they have left is death. As long as the rope called Shaolin has been cut off, all that remains is an endless fall.
There is no more will or evil to wield the sword. The arms and legs felt heavy as if they belonged to others. I just wanted to let go of everything.
Frustration is frightening because it makes a person sink. Everyone was being sucked into a terrible abyss that was too thick to even look into.
However, even at that moment, only one person exuded anger instead of despair.
"Stirring the law!"
A desperate shout broke out from the mouth of the wounded criminal and Namgung Hwang.
"The court, the law, the law, the law, the law, law, law, law! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
A blood-boiling cry broke out from his throat.
The veins of both eyes burst out, and the rest of the neck let out a scream as if the iron was twisting.
Just when everyone was moaning under such desperate frustration.
At last he reached this land. He who considers all this mud of despair a mere play.
Whoosh!
A large battle ship crashed into a sandbar.
Namgung Palace, Surochae, even Namgung Hwang and Heukryong Wang watched the scene.
"Well."
A low voice mixed with nasal sounds came out lightly. It was a very small sound, but it spread strangely throughout the island.
Soon after, a person appeared with a light step.
“…….”
Namgung Hwang stared at the scene with red-colored eyes due to a burst of blood.
Three years ago, this is the scene of a man who left the Janggang River teasing and laughing at them.
He hasn't changed a bit.
A strange embroidery carved with gold in a splendid red tarp. White skin, straightened hair, fancy cotton crowns, and over-dressed accessories.
Percussion.
Jang Il-so, who jumped lightly onto the land from the boat, slowly straightened his bent body.
It's jingling.
The sound of his accessories clashing together forced the memory of three years ago. That sound wakes up nightmares and calls fear.Namgung Hwang's eyes touched Jang Il-so's lips.
"That's weird."
Jang Il-so spoke softly with a friendly face.
"It's been quite a while, but I don't think it's a welcome face.”
His lips, red as blood, painted lines like the moon. The words pouring out of that truly ominous and bizarre mouth felt terrible.
Namgung closed his eyes tightly.
"I'm very……" It's nice to meet you. Hahahaha!"
And I thought.
It might have been better to die at the hands of that Black Dragon.
Rather than be fooled by this demon's hands...….
