Episode 263: Troubled times make heroes (3)
I also knew the legend well.
These are the true people who turned the once peaceful Haereung Island into hell.
One of the main culprits that caused the poor residents to suffer is right in front of us.
That’s why I had no intention of looking at it at all.
Yuseol, standing tall in front of the rock, began counting numbers.
“one.”
“....”
All that comes back is still silence. As expected, there was no reaction.
“two.”
“....”
Even if you do this, it won’t come out? Yoo Seol’s frown narrowed little by little.
The tip of the dragon lance trembled and let out a cry.
Jjieeeeing-!
“I definitely gave it a chance.”
The target was a golden monk wearing a golden mask hiding in the bushes behind a rock.
He was the first person to crawl out of the wall and could be said to be of great stature.
Finally, it was time to shout out three.
In an instant, Yoo Seol’s pupils dilated.
“...?”
This is because the huge rock split left and right.
And there was something that appeared through the gap.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
What it was, approaching at the speed of light, was a chain with a weight hanging from it.
If he was a decent expert, his body would have been pierced and he would have died instantly without even knowing what was going on.
However, it was not possible to fool Hyun-gyeong’s body vision to this extent.
Without even blinking, Yoo Seol twisted her upper body and let the weight flow in front of her chest.
Paang-!
Surprising ambush. And even strange weapons.
Yoo Seol became uncomfortable with the other party’s cunning tactics.
‘Are you cowardly taking me by surprise?’
The pen stretched out behind its back returned and attacked again.
And to make matters worse, someone appeared from a gap in the rocks in front.
The movement of approaching like lightning, with the hem of the coat fluttering.
It was a clear landscape. That wasn’t normal either.
Taaa-!
The guy who came right in front of me in an instant was flexing his left hand.
As attacks were coming from front and back, it was best to avoid them.
But Yoo Seol had no intention of backing down even an inch.
He stretched out the Yonghwachang he was holding behind his shoulder while thrusting his other hand forward.
The first attack to come was the chains on his back.
Crackle-!
It was the sound of Yonghwachang pushing the chain in a different direction.
Just as the two palms were about to collide in the air, a bitter strong wind instantly enveloped Yu Seol’s arm.
Whoa whoa-!!
It was a technique to throw the opponent away with Lee Hwa-seoppung (移花涉風), the Chilcho style of Yuga Geongonjang.
The level of power was different from when Yujinsan unleashed it.
With a tremendous roar, the Geumsa’s feet dragged across the ground and pushed back more than a dozen feet.
Rumbling-!
“Ugh!”
His eyes, reflected behind the mask, were full of embarrassment.
He seemed very surprised by his opponent’s martial arts skills, which were stronger than expected.
But there was no time to remain still and surprised. Because at this very moment, Yoo Seol was approaching him with great strides.
He urgently moved the chain and tried to check the approaching drift.
Chains stretching out along with blunt weights disturbed the air.
Whirring! Whirly lick-!!
A flashy movement with no place to avoid. It was truly a terrifying onslaught.
But it couldn’t even brush Yuseol’s collar.
It was so fast that I couldn’t even see the dodging movements.
Even in that situation, Yoo Seol continued to move.
“Who the hell are you?”
It was a cry that was slurred yet full of urgency.
“Oh!”
On top of a cliff on the coast.
There, the resistance’s elite warriors were watching with their mouths wide open. Everyone looked very surprised.
Yoo Seol made eye contact with them and made a signal with his hand.
After one breath. Thirty warriors holding ropes flew up at the same time.
Taaa-! fault-!
Some enemies still remained here in a stiff posture, but they were already consumed by fear and were in no condition to fight properly.
All that’s left is to finish it off and seize the supplies.
The resistance fighters who had come down to the ground began to rush towards this place.
The leader was Lim Pyeong-il, who had the greatest martial arts skills among them.
“Kill them all!”
* * *
The underground headquarters of the resistance group.
Eugene San was sitting across from the executives in the operation room.
The atmosphere seemed completely different from before entering the training center.
Everyone’s faces were full of composure.
Moreover, you could clearly feel that everyone was plump, as if they had eaten their fill.
“Now everyone looks like a human being.”
Il-gwang smiled and responded to Eugene-san’s joke.
“Fuhaha! It’s great that now I can eat as much as I want without worrying. Look at the supplies piled up in the aisles. “It contains a wide variety of spices and meat.”
Befitting his massive physique, Il-gwang eats five times more than the average person.
However, rations were extremely insufficient, and we had to always find food outside to satisfy our hungry stomachs.
But from now on, there is no need for that. It was a situation where I could eat real food, not just fill my stomach.
Is that why? Daylight seemed to be the most excited more than anyone else.
“It’s really good news that everyone can eat their fill.”
“Hmm! All of this is thanks to the Eumkai Daehyeop. “It seems like this horrible cave life won’t be far away now.”
He was happy as if the island had already been liberated.
It was an encouraging situation, but it was something I couldn’t just be happy about.
Crucially, the biggest problem was approaching right around the corner.
“Still, it’s not too early to raise a toast. “Based on the current situation, the warrior dragon will appear soon.”
“hmm. No need to worry. Doesn’t the Yanggeo Association know best? “I will put my neck on the line that the Yin Kai Daehyup wins.”
It seems that Il-gwang was completely fascinated by Yu-seol’s martial arts skills.
Jinsan Yu also did not deny his words. Because I had never even imagined the thought of my granddaughter, who had been invincible until now, losing to someone.
The problem was their subordinates.
“But I don’t think the warrior dragon will move alone. “How many absolute masters do you think there are under their command?”
“hmm. Recently, a surprise attack team led by the Great Hyeop of the Shadows has reduced the number, but it is understood that at least all of the government offices have been captured. “The problem is the golden angels wearing golden masks.”
They were the ones who said they saw the daylight when it entered the wall in the past.
I only heard that each one had great martial arts skills, but I knew nothing about them.
“How many people did the captain see?”
“In the past, when I was running away from there, I saw a total of four people. “I wonder if there are more...”
I guess even Daylight can’t be sure.
Jinsan Yu closed his arms and thought for a moment.
If the warrior dragon showed up with just one or two people, there would be no problem.
But what if you come out with all the golden knights? I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable thinking about the worst-case scenario.
‘If the circumstances arise, Captain Ilgwang and I can take charge of one person each. But the rest of them will stick to Seol along with the warrior dragon.’
If that happens, the outcome cannot be guaranteed.
We had to consider ways to minimize variables. But how can that be easy?
“Hmm...”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a clever idea right away.
When I was thinking about it for a while.
Suddenly, cheers were heard from somewhere in the central aisle.
“The raid team is back!”
“Waaaa!!”
Jinsan Yu jumped up from his seat.
It seemed like the granddaughter had returned.
I could be sure of this from the shouts of the warriors that followed.
“The Yin Kai Daehyup did it again!”
“But who are you arresting?”
I got up from my seat as if I was also curious about the daylight.
While they were going out to meet the raiding team, they heard Yooseol’s voice.
“Hey? “The warrior dragon wearing the golden mask is my subordinate.”
You caught the golden thread? Il-gwang and Yujin-san looked at each other in shock.
Then, I quickly ran to the place where I heard the voice.
