46 – Episode 46: Ninja of Salvation (Part 9)
The startled queen bee dropped Yukumgyeong to the ground in order to move her hand.
But it was too late. I had already come right in front of the guy.
One second before the intercontinental ballistic missile hit.
– Profit!
The queen bee moved a pair of antennae, desperately trying to survive.
It was the attack that had blocked the enemy’s move earlier.
I’m not a fool who falls for the same pattern twice.
0.5 seconds before an intercontinental ballistic missile hits.
Thud!
After spinning around, I kicked them. The speed has slowed down a bit, but it’s still fine.
0.2 seconds before an intercontinental ballistic missile hits.
As the queen bee spun around gracefully, our eyes met.
“- Surgeon Shen Nobi.”
My ninja sword spat out fire.
It didn’t actually spew fire, but it meant that I struck with such an impressive effect.
With a “shwing!” the ninja sword hit the queen bee’s forehead accurately.
– aaah!
The hand of the monster that was coming at me to crush me fell to the ground like a deflated balloon.
Any monster that gets hit by a ninja sword can’t move.
“- Splitting election posters.”
I put even more force into it and struck down to the chin.
The queen bee’s face split in half like a ripe watermelon.
Just like the faces of countless politicians I had torn apart to clean up our town.
– …
Kwoong!
The queen bee collapsed without even screaming.
Even the countless royal jellies she had consumed couldn’t save her from death.
If only she had gained regenerative abilities.
“-Evil has disappeared.”
The queen bee’s hind legs, which had been trembling intermittently, stopped.
And thus, a long and glorious battle came to an end.
After removing the ninja attire and putting it back in its sheath, I turned my steps in search of the relic.
“Aileen’s enemy-!”
Yugyeomgyeong swung the soul devourer towards me, blood dripping from his left shoulder.
Is this how I repay kindness? I saved him, but this is how he treats me.
“If you’re hurt, take medicine and rest. Summon a red flash.”
“Shut your mouth!”
A slow movement, in contrast to his terrifying posture.
I easily dodged and snatched the soul devourer from her hands.
Yugyeomgyeong, who was already exhausted and had suffered a major injury, is not my opponent.
“Oops!”
“Until you calm down, this will be confiscated.”
I wanted to keep it, but a runaway ninja doesn’t take away the possessions of righteous people.
I just wanted to scare her off and let her go.
“Give it back!”
Yoo Geomgyeong rushed forward, exhaling sharply. Maybe because she didn’t have a weapon, her speed suddenly increased.
Vroom vroom vroom vroom-
She attacked only with her right arm, but the movements continued without pause, making it difficult to avoid.
I thought I might get hit by a wrong move, so I threw the Soul Devourer far away and took a boxing stance.
“Hey lady, go to the hospital now. It’s all over.”
“Ah, lady?! Die!!!”
Yoo Geomgyeong threw punches faster, showing a sensitive reaction.
The sound of the air being split was not ordinary.
“Where did you learn to punch?”
“You bastard-!”
I tried to catch her with a golden technique (holding a fist with the hand), but it didn’t work well.
It wasn’t beneath me in terms of technique, just because I got hurt.
I should knock her down for real to end this mess.
“Huff, to this extent! I didn’t want to! Whack!”
I tried to deliver a cool line, but I kept interrupting my words trying to dodge Yoo Geomgyeong’s jabs.
I should really work on my form.
“Ninja Punch!”
Since I have a strong Chi, I can hit her as much as I want.
Without any compromise or concession, I threw a punch towards Yoo Geomgyeong’s abdomen.
Since I’m not pregnant, there are no political issues.
“What nonsense!”
“Shut up!”
Yugyeom blocked the punch with his left elbow and hit my nose.
Liquid splashed down, damn it, it’s blood?
“Look, look, it’s this spinster!”
“You murderer! Take off your mask and reveal your identity!”
Why are they making such a fuss?
They hit me while supporting trash like Irene, who is kind and just. I think I need to give them a proper education.
“If you want to get hit so badly, then let me hit you to pieces!”
“Come on! Try it once!”
Thud, thud!
“Palm Strike of a Hundred Steps!”
Shouting a technique that looks strong enough to intimidate, he swung his fist.
“What? What’s that…!”
Yugyeom was startled as expected. Unfortunately, the attack missed slightly.
“My Eighteen Palms!”
“…High-Speed Gale Strike!”
“Flowing Water Palm!”
“Raging Wind Fist!”
“Dragon’s Eightfold Strike!”
“The Cry of Hongyeom!”
“The Infinite Radiance of Mugujeonggwangda Rani-kyeong!”
“The name of that technique is strange!”
Now, even the names of the techniques I read in the book have slipped my mind.
I tried to finish it by squeezing in a few attacks, but it’s not easy.
But I am a skilled escape ninja. I patiently defended myself, waiting for an opportunity.
“Escape Ninja! Don’t step back, come at me!”
Attacks coming from below, from the side, from above, from below. I blocked them all and seized a brief opportunity.
When Yugeomgyeong, who had become confident, made a big move to deliver the finishing blow.
“-Jebi Leg Break.”
Also known as the Powerful Shinquan. I slightly twisted my body to dodge it and kicked to trip him.
Yugeomgyeong, who easily lost balance like a one-handed Delamion, unable to regain stability.
“Ugh…!”
Yugeomgyeong, whose back of the head was heavily struck, sprawled out like a corpse.
Wearing a helmet and with excellent physical abilities, he won’t get a concussion.
“This is the level we’re at.”
Now, there is no time left.
The warriors who were fighting elsewhere may arrive here at any moment.
It was the moment I turned my head to exit.
– Brooke.
A golden bead flowed out of the firmly closed mouth of the queen bee.
This brat had a relic stored in their belly?
Was there a relic right in front of us from the beginning? This is unbelievable.
“Lucky me.”
I didn’t like touching things with spit on them, so I wiped it off a few times with my sleeve and picked it up.
Anyway, the mission is clear.
Now I just have to hand this over to the savages and pretend to know nothing, then go back to the Evergreen Village to rest.
“Sto…p…!”
The lips of the exhausted Yoo Geomgyeong, gasping for breath, turned blue on the floor.
Did I apply pressure on the wound too late because I was focused on the battle?
Honestly, it’s their own fault. I decided not to touch them because I didn’t think they would die.
“Why… why did you save the people?”
“People?”
Under the circumstances, they’re like rice and friends. The reason is obvious.
“I fight for innocent people.”
“That’s ridiculous…! You killed Aileen!”
“She was a little b*tch. She tried to frame a good woman and kill her. Do you know why? Because it was fun, apparently.”
“Lies! Aileen is not that kind of person!”
“Don’t act like a hostage. Accept the truth.”
“Words won’t get through… Just kill them.”
“I refuse.”
“Kill me like you killed Irene!”
Yoo Geomgyeong shouted with a determined expression. To scream like that after searching everywhere.
How close were they that he would be this angry?
Love has a way of obscuring even the truth.
“You are not a samurai.”
There was nothing more to say. Without looking back, he confidently left the boss room.
Before leaving, I did search the room to see if there was any royal jelly left, but I did it very quickly.
If I ate it, there might have been a power-up event. What a waste.
***
“This, this is it! Thank you so much! Runaway Ninja! Thank you!”
“Woohoo~!”
“Mako Istako!”
Sanserif hugged the relic and sang a joyful song with the tribe members.
It was quite a distance from the beehive, so no one heard it.
“H-how can I repay you? I don’t know.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Just smile, I think.”
I said that there was no need for compensation, but it seems they didn’t understand.
I decided to let it go lightly, thinking it was because they were barbarians.
“I’m going now. Live a happy life.”
After giving a slight wave of the hand, I turned my body. A ninja should have a cool back.
“Just a moment!”
Sanserif grabbed my shoulder and stopped me.
I’ve been saying it’s unnecessary, but it’s annoying when it comes out like this.
I turned my head to say it sharply.
“Hey.”
“My name, Sanserif. Priest of the Brown Rock Tribe. Remember it.”
“What’s the point of remembering? I’m leaving.”
“When you need it. I’ll help you anytime.”
“It doesn’t seem like much help.”
“I obtained a relic. Now I’m getting stronger. Like my mother.”
So they say.
“Alright. I’ll believe it, so go. I’m a busy person.”
“A child of the tribe, the child of that child. Your name will be passed down. As a hero who fought without asking for anything in return.”
“Well, thank you for that.”
“They will worship you. I, too, will bless you. A sincere blessing, with powerful strength.”
“Do you have more to say?”
“The things I just said. They are not to be taken lightly. They carry the words of a priest, with supernatural power.”
“I’d rather have strength. I’m really going now.”
It’s a waste of time to change clothes.
I roughly greeted the tribal members and rushed out.
“Don’t forget! My name is Sanseleif! The priest of the Brown Rock Tribe! Spread the word when you meet other tribes! We will help you!”
I think I said something, but I didn’t hear it well.
All I could hear was the sound of the background passing by as I ran.
“Huff.”
Fortunately, the backpack buried on the ground was still there.
It smelled strongly of dirt, but it’s better than being taken by a mole demon.
“It’s time to return as the wandering swordsman, Robin.”
I’m starting to get hungry. I drooled at the thought of going back and eating lots of meat.
Orphe, Diana. Today, big brother will treat.
Treebo, you don’t have a mouth, so shut up.

“These damn bastards. They still haven’t found it?”
The gang member who was talking to him asked softly.
“It seems to be taking a long time. Should I go once?”
“Sure. Come back and report within 5 minutes. I don’t like being left alone.”
“Understood. Then.”
Veldergard watched the gang member walk away, trembling his fingers.
He was someone who became anxious when there were no people around.
Ziiiiing-
“Eo-eo?”
As soon as the Gangsaengdae member entered the beehive, Beldegard’s eyes filled with a red light.
“Ah, I am Beldegard, a Grade 3 employee. I will learn from the past, serve the present, and strive for the future. Matapju-nim? What’s the matter?”
Beldegard’s eyes turned towards the sky.
“The connection has been lost? I am right here… Has the interaction stopped?”
His expression twisted slightly.
“It’s incomprehensible. Is it the work of the monitors?”
Ziiiiing-
“I understand… It’s unavoidable. I will focus on finding the royals again. I guess the Swordsmen would be better than me. Thank you always. Have a happy day.”
After a moment, Beldegard’s eyes regained their original color.
When he checked the beehive again, Gangsaengdae members covered in mucus were coming out.
“Beldegard-nim! Yugyeomgyeong-nim has been seriously injured!”
“What did you say?”
It was truly a frenzy.
