Chapter 195: Black Rain (1)
Idiot.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t an incorrect expression.
Because both of Jeong Yeongwoo’s legs had yet to regenerate.
Unable to even walk properly, let alone stand up, he was clearly an idiot.
Moreover.
“Ugh...”
Gently touching his face that had been slammed onto the asphalt ground made for a ridiculous sight.
What kind of person worthy of the title “Strongest Sword” would be so dramatic about such injuries?
“What the hell are you doing...?”
The Gyeonggi Strongest Sword, with an incredulous expression, looked at the Joseon’s Strongest Sword in front of him.
Of course, this attitude stemmed from not knowing anything about the opponent’s background.
For Yeongwoo, injuries usually started with limbs being cut off.
So, in fact, rather than touching his face because it hurt, Yeongwoo was closer to pondering the vague pain he rarely felt.
“Oh, I forgot I don’t have feet.”
As Yeongwoo, who had been lying on the ground, lifted his upper body and sat down, the pattern of a Dogo’s wedge wrapped around his right forearm in the tattoo “White Space” came and then disappeared.
This was also one of the signals that Jeong Yeongwoo was a dangerous individual, but the sword of Gyeonggi, lacking insight, did not notice.
His gaze was simply on...
“....”
The golden sword floating in the air, the sturdy black iron horse, and the two alien creatures rushing back and forth between them were all chaotic.
– Keii...!
– Babat!
The Golden Goblin Artifact Slave and the Artifact Slave, Pofu Tenta and Negwig the Iron Horse.
“What are those?”
The Strongest Sword of Gyeonggi dared to point his sword alternately at Yeongwoo’s two slaves.
Swiftly.
In response, Yeongwoo also pointed to the opponent with the mythical weapon “Bastard”.
“Do you have equipment that becomes stronger the shorter you speak? Why do you keep doing that?”
At this, the Strongest Sword of Gyeonggi hesitated for a moment, unable to find a counterargument, and wrinkled his nose.
“Well... since we’re going to fight anyway, is there a need to be polite?”
“There’s no need not to be polite on purpose. I didn’t ask you to greet me properly.”
As Yeongwoo spoke like this, he glanced briefly at the “Golden Trail” still lying dormant.
“I know what you mean. Just a few days ago, I killed quite a few people collecting titles.”
Of course, there had been no unilateral attacks, but... he had never avoided a fight either.
It was unintentional and deliberate murder.
“But now it’s different... now I know how precious people are.”
“...What?”
“If you’re the Gyeonggi’s Strongest Sword, you’ve unified at least three regions, right? So, if you die, won’t there be a gap in security?”
“...Well, if I die, that might happen.”
“So what’s your point? I’ll let the informality slide, so while I’m still speaking kindly, keep your voice in check and leave.”
For a moment, the veteran Strongest Sword’s aura emanated from Yeongwoo’s eyes.
“....!”
In response, the Strongest Sword of Gyeonggi twitched involuntarily, but soon regained his composure and chuckled.
“Well, I’m sure it must have been easy at one time, but isn’t that why you’re a cripple now?”
He had known from the beginning that the opponent’s title and equipment were impressive.
However, he never thought he would lose to someone who couldn’t even walk.
Confidence in oneself.
And pride.
That was the characteristic of the Strongest Sword of a large region.
Yeongwoo hadn’t even attended Seoul’s Strongest Sword gathering during his time as the Strongest Sword of Gyeongbuk.
It was to challenge the reputed Strongest Sword of Gangnam in Seoul.
Therefore, Yeongwoo knew well that you could only find out who was truly stronger by fighting.
But.
“No.”
“...What?”
“Today, you’ve chosen the wrong opponent. I’m not just a cripple.”
“Heh.”
Before Yeongwoo’s words, the Strongest Sword of Gyeonggi tried to laugh again, but...
Hwa-ah-at!
Due to Yeongwoo’s display of power, he could no longer laugh.
“Kugh...!”
It was because his heart suddenly felt as if it were being squeezed tightly.DiiScover new stories at novelhall.com
“I have one obsession because I was born a lowly human. That’s... whoever tries to kill me...”
While using his authority, as Yeongwoo uttered his lines with glowing eyes, something incredible happened.
“Absolutely nothing, you bastard!”
Faaah!
The problematic Strongest Sword of Gyeonggi had released Yeongwoo’s authority.
“What...?”
In the face of the unexpected development, Yeongwoo widened his eyes.
The opponent was indeed a rascal, daring to attack despite seeing both his title and equipment.
With a thud!
Thanks to withstanding the authority of the Joseon’s Strongest Sword, the Strongest Sword of Gyeonggi’s momentum increased even more as he turned and rushed towards Yeongwoo.
“This stupid bastard.”
The strange Strongest Sword, who fought while sprinkling dirt in the eyes of the mutants, kept coming to his mind for some reason.
He seemed to be the only one among all the people he had seen who wasn’t living a tough life.
In any case, there was a strange addictive quality to the aura emitted by the so-called Joseon’s Strongest Sword.
‘If we meet again next time, I should ask him exactly how the situation in the North is unfolding.’
Since he was the representative of the Army Headquarters who claimed to monitor the North, his greatest concern could not but be the situation in North Korea.
“Sigh.”
After flicking off the remaining cigarette ash, he noticed that the windmills on the hill in the distance suddenly started spinning rapidly.
Whoooosh...!
It was also from this moment that a strong wind blew, almost folding his ears.
“What’s happening all of a sudden?”
“Why is the wind blowing like this?”
The swordsmen scattered around the military headquarters also began to rise one by one at the suspicious weather, and by this time.
Kwaling!
With a sudden thunderclap, the sky darkened in an instant.
“W-what is this...?”
Kim Kwangyong cautiously drew his sword while looking at Lieutenant Jo Seongsik.
He judged it wasn’t just a simple weather change.
The sky, which had been sunny just a while ago, was now filled with dark clouds as if it had always been like this.
And then.
Kwrrrung!
After thundering much closer than before, the incident began.
Shwaaa...!
“...Rain?”
Rain poured suddenly from the dark sky.
“I-It’s pouring suddenly!”
“Should we withdraw to Yeoncheon for now?”
The soldiers, who had started feeling extreme fatigue and discomfort for some reason, expressed their desire to withdraw towards Lieutenant Jo Seongsik.
On the other hand, Yeoncheon’s Strongest Sword, Jo Seongsik, instead...
Shwaaaat!
He raised his sword and shouted through the downpour.
“All units, prepare for combat...!”
Although it was purely an intuition-based command, his instincts were not wrong.
Kwrrrung!
Then, another thunderclap rang out, and lightning flashed from inside the clouds in the sky.
Paaat!
At that moment, a huge furnace appeared in the sky above the Peace Nuri Park.
“...!”
“Ahh!”
It was only then that the soldiers of Yeoncheon realized that something serious was happening and drew their swords in panic, and by this time, Kim Kwangyong, the Cheorwon’s Strongest Sword, also realized something was wrong.
“Oh, it’s rain.”
Feeling something sticky, he wiped his cheek, only to find that thick rain was oozing out.
“This, it’s not just rain...!”
As he was about to urgently report to Lieutenant Jo Seongsik...
Ssuaeaeeaet!
Two ominous creatures leapt down from the dark sky.
Kwack!
‘Damn it, it was a mutant after all.’
Jo Seongsik cursed.
Although there was no sign of the mutant’s emblematic pillar of light, the fact that they had appeared in front of him could not be denied.
Especially with this damn rain accompanying them.
‘I don’t know who they are, but they’re not your average assholes.’
He could already feel this fact in his skin.
“Squads 1 and 4, behind me! Squads 2 and 3, stick with Kim Kwangyong behind me! Everyone, stay alert!”
As Jo Seongsik began to wave off the rain pouring down in front of him, the creatures raised their heads to look at the furnace in the sky, as if waiting for battle approval.
“...!”
And seeing this, Jo Seongsik said,
“Private Kim Kwangyong, lift me up.”
Unlike before, he gave the order to Cheorwon’s Strongest Sword, Kim Kwangyong.
But Kim Kwangyong was not unaware.
“Yes, step on me.”
Immediately, he bent his knees and made a foothold with both arms.
Then,
Tap!
Jo Seongsik promptly stepped on Kim Kwangyong’s arm, and Kim Kwangyong threw Lieutenant Jeong into the sky with all his might.
Hwaeaeaeeaak!
“Who are you! Reveal your identity!”
Jo Seongsik, soaring into the sky, swung his sword and headed straight for the furnace.
And a moment later.
“...!”
As Jo Seongsik, who had approached right in front of the furnace, looked, a single name tag came into his sight.
It was none other than.
“What? How dare this bastard...?”
