Chapter 136: Diary of a Wanderer (9)

“Hurry up, please!”

As Jang Jeongho exhaled deeply at Seongbuk’s Strongest Sword Yoobin’s urging, he grumbled.

“Why rush like this? Gangnam will handle it well anyway.”

Yoobin from Seongbuk and Jang Jeongho from Dongdaemun.

The two Strongest Swords were now on their way to Paju to participate in the ‘North-South War’, which was the main agenda of yesterday’s meeting.

But in reality, it was closer to Yoobin dragging Jeongho forcibly into the battle.

Jeongho had just finished a battle with the mutant not long ago, and he didn’t want to help Jeong Yeongwoo in the first place.

However...

“So, as Jeongho said, Gangnam’s Strongest Sword will handle it well, so why aren’t we going? If we don’t go, it’s definitely a loss, isn’t it?”

“...?”

“If you stay still, you might regret it later. At least show your face. Anyway, since Yeongwoo will be doing a one-man show, we just have to watch.”

Yoobin, who was keenly aware of the situation despite not having seen it firsthand.

On the other hand, Jeongho, while following her to Paju, did not seem pleased.

‘Would there only be people like us in North Korea? There might be crazy people like Jeong Yeongwoo there. If that guy keeps kicking up a fuss, someday we might get into big trouble.’

Of course, this was only Jeongho’s hope.

Meanwhile!

Continuing to argue back and forth, the two eventually saw the signs of mutants not long after.

“Huh?”

“Uh...?”

It was a bright pillar of light piercing the sky over Paju.

That meant that mutants were still alive in Paju.

“What? How is that possible?”

With her mouth agape, Yoobin started running even faster.

Isn’t Paju supposed to be where the Strongest Swords of North and South are fighting?

But how can mutants be alive in the meantime?

“What on earth is happening?”

As it reached this point, Jeongho couldn’t help but increase his speed, and shortly after, the battlefield appeared before their eyes.

Clang, clang, swoosh!

The friction sounds of all sorts of equipment flying like bells.

And in the midst of it, a giant white tiger, as seen before, was fighting with North Korean Strongest Swords.

“...?”

For Yoobin and Jeongho, who had just arrived at the scene, it was something they could hardly believe, but what overwhelmed them more than anything was...

“T-Too many...?”

It was the number of Strongest Swords from both sides gathered here.

On the North side alone, there were a whopping nine, plus two corpses on the ground, totaling eleven, and there were also four Strongest Swords from the South.

A total of fifteen Strongest Swords were fighting in this place.

“No, the number is too uneven?”

As Jeongho, the Strongest Sword of Dongdaemun, hesitated at the much larger scale of the battle than expected, someone’s head bounced into the air in the middle of the battlefield.

Swoosh!

The newcomers didn’t know, but the owner of that head was...

『Pyeongnam’s Strongest Sword』

The Strongest Sword of the North Korean army, General Go Jeonhoon01.

* * *

“That bas*ard, that son of a...!”

Kim Jeongtae, the Strongest Sword from Hamhung, cursed as he saw Go Jeonhoon’s head flying.

And for good reason.

「The title of our country, Pyeongnam’s Strongest Sword, has been stolen!」

Even the position of the Strongest Sword of Pyeongnam Province has passed to South Korea.

And this means...

「A new Strongest Sword of Joseon’s Strongest Sword (Advanced) has been elected.」Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

It was no different than implying that the thief became the sole candidate for the strongest position in North Korea.

「A new Joseon Strongest Sword has been elected.」

To no one’s surprise, with no other Joseon Strongest Sword candidates to compete against, the sole candidate naturally took the position of the Joseon Strongest Sword.

“This is insane.”

“It’s unbelievable.”

“Oh, Pyeongnam is dead...?”

The northern camp became chaotic for a moment.

On the other hand, the southern side had a strong sense of foreboding upon seeing General Go Jeonhoon’s head severed.

“It’s all over! It’s time to retreat!”

General Kim Young-hum screamed towards the north, and indeed...

「The title of our country, Joseons Strongest Sword, has been stolen!」

As the worst possible notification message was broadcasted, the morale of the North Korean Strongest Swords hit rock bottom.

Swoosh!

But the astonishing thing happened next.

“....!”

The arrow didn’t explode.

It was only natural for Shinuiju’s Strongest Sword to twist his body to avoid the arrow.

‘A master is a master. It seems North Korea was worth waiting for.’

Seeing Yeongwoo’s surprised expression, Shinuiju’s Strongest Sword rushed forward with a confident smile and spoke in a bold voice.

“I came down here because of you, leaving the border empty. But if I can return as the Strongest Sword of Joseon, it should be enough for a bargain.”

Swoosh.

Shinuiju’s Strongest Sword was trying to pull something out of his bosom.

Since Yeongwoo had experienced various ambushes, he turned his upper body before the hologram of Joseon Swordsmanship was activated.

Swish.

Then, as expected, two small daggers flew in succession, and Yeongwoo’s vision momentarily turned navy blue.

‘Oh, this is it.’

The hologram color of Joseon Swordsmanship was navy blue.

Swish!

Continuing, as Yeongwoo grasped the sword following the navy blue hologram, Shinuiju’s Strongest Sword, who was rushing at him like a storm, flinched.

It was because he realized the completely different combat posture of his opponent from before.

It seemed to be a very refined posture, probably...

‘Joseon Swordsmanship...!’

Facing off against Joseon Swordsmanship, which should have been North Korea’s secret technique, directly was quite an experience.

“Son of a bitch.”

Whether it was because of overwhelming emotions or not, Shinuiju’s Strongest Sword’s face contorted viciously.

“This disgrace shall be repaid in blood.”

In response, although awkwardly, Yeongwoo raised the tip of his sword as directed by the Joseon Swordsmanship.

“Come in.”

With that, the other Strongest Swords who had been watching the meeting between the two men in a daze, also regained their vigor.

Shouldn’t they end this war?

“Yaaah!”

“Die!”

As the momentum of the North side surged with the appearance of the Strongest Sword of Shinuiju, General Kim Youngheum, who was already holding onto the four Strongest Swords, shouted with his mouth wide open.

「What’s with the fancy moves after killing one! Don’t you have any other magic?」

As he was large in stature, there were many places to strike, and this was a request for his own survival.

Even though they were enhanced mutants, facing the four Strongest Swords who were ready to fight for their lives was not easy.

“...Wait a moment!”

Likewise, facing the first encounter with Shinuiju, with death looming, Yeongwoo leaned back and brought his hand to the whistle hanging around his neck.

Then, Jo Sunghoo opened his eyes wide and screamed.

“Stop! Whatever it is, just stop there! Let’s fight fairly!”

I saw clearly that the monster in South Korea had another trick.

However, from Yeongwoo’s perspective, it was necessary to protect Baekho and the remaining Strongest Swords, which were South Korea’s valuable assets.

“I’m sorry. Let’s just match the numbers for now.”

“No, nooooo!”

Eventually, amidst Jo Sunghoo’s screams, the sound of Yeongwoo’s whistle rang out long.

Piiiiiiiiiiiing!

「...Huh?」

The sound of a whistle in the middle of the battlefield.

Most of the audience, including Kim Youngheum, looked surprised at the unexpected skill of the Joseon Strongest Sword.

And then, as the surrounding colors changed and the sky began to split...

Chop!

“Ah.”

“W-What...”

“The sky...?”

Except for a very few, no one had dared to anticipate.

「Yaaaaah!」

「Ughhh!」

It meant that two more mutants were about to appear in the sky.

Swoosh!

Two giant silhouettes swiftly approached the battlefield.

However, there was a variable that even Yeongwoo, who called them, hadn’t considered, and that was...

「That’s the one, sir!」

「What? Who...?」

Both of them were blinded by the official commendation for buying a television.

「That mutant! Kim Youngheum, that bastard!」
