292. East, Yue Dynasty (19)
“Never die. Don’t get hurt.”
“……”
I nodded to Izel’s new request.
She is also quick-witted.
In this urgent situation, ‘Go!’ Or ‘Come on!’ It’s nice not to have to shout things like
“Follow your goal.”
Yasui’s instructions follow immediately.
But you won’t be able to get over me easily.
I took a deep breath and slowly concentrated.
ㅡsssss…
Soon the world slows down.
Even while my eardrums were clogged and my ears were ringing, I quickly moved my body and aimed for the legs of those who were chasing Kaen.
Wait a minute.
Aren’t these people in a pitiful situation who are being threatened by the bloodstone necklace?
More than anything, they were the people of Wolguk.
In my past life, I thought that it was not right for me to leave my identity and kill the people of the Yue Kingdom.
After making that decision, I changed the ‘Sierra’ to a calendar blade.
It was enough to keep everyone’s attention focused on me for now so that I wouldn’t dare to pursue it any longer.
ㅡPeuok! Sigh! Wow!
Soon, the flow of time, which had slowed down for an instant, returns to normal, and the sound of the legs of the guys on the roof being crushed is heard in my ears.
“Kwaaa…”
“My legs…!”
Following their cries, Yasui opened his mouth.
“…Are you going to stop this large number by yourself?”
I tilted my head in response to his question.
Of course, I had no intention of stopping it alone.
It wasn’t like he had four arms, so it was almost impossible to stop Yasui and others.
[ Yasui… ]
Sierra quietly lowered her voice as she looked at Yasui, who was broken in some way.
“No questions or answers. If you try to stop me, I will cut you down.”
When I didn’t reply, Yasui attacked me first.
Well, his daughter’s life is at stake.
I thought it would come out that way.
ㅡSleuth…
What was strange was that I could hardly hear any footsteps. At the same time that I thought it was quite an amazing walking technique, a thought crossed my mind that he had already planned to deal with me.
ㅡChaeeng!!!
I barely followed Yasui’s sword and locked swords with him.
His sword was as faint as his presence, making it difficult to read his sword strokes.
‘As expected, you are not giving your best.’
First of all, he is a cadet at the academy, so it would be difficult to kill him hastily.
Now was the best chance.
It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t guarantee victory by fighting him alone, but if I waited any longer, it could have been difficult to catch up with Eisel.
From noble mtl dot com
“Golden, silver. Go and get the target.”
Yasui, who was crossing swords with me, gave another command.
Soon, Geumjeok and Eunjeok, who were standing there hesitantly, made eye contact, nodded, and then ran towards the direction where Aizel and Amon had disappeared.
“I did some research on you in advance. I admire your courage in trying to save your friends, but it would have been better to pick your opponents and attack them.”
“That’s what I’m going to say, General Yasui.”
“How could you…”
Soon, a subtle tremor appears in his eyes.
But he did not even tremble with his sword.
ㅡKikigeek… Squeak…
Anyway, the power is extremely strong.
If he releases even the slightest amount of force, red diagonal lines will immediately appear on his chest and abdomen.
In order to persuade him, the priority was to increase the distance.
ㅡChaeeng!!!
He barely escaped Yasui’s sword and took a big leap backwards.
I don’t know how fast Geumjeok and Eunjeok are running, but it would be better to end this situation as quickly as possible.
Yasui rushed at me again, and this time his subordinates around him also rushed at me.
I quickly took out the necklace from my pocket and threw it to Yasui.
“This is…”
Yasui’s steps stopped as he grabbed his necklace, and the remaining sword aimed straight for my neck.
ㅡChaeeng! Visor!!
I answered his doubts by lightly flicking their swords.
“When I went to the teacher’s dojo, I saw a girl there wearing that necklace, which was her mother’s keepsake.”
“……”
Yasui’s silence.
A lot of thoughts and inferences are probably going through his head right now.
ㅡQuad! Quad Deuk!!
I continued to break the swords of those who were interfering with the conversation, then jumped back and put the swords back.
It seemed like there would be no more fighting here.
I climbed up onto the roof and shouted to Yasui, who was smiling and looking in disbelief.
“So I took it away. I wonder what a father would do to let me wear such a dangerous necklace…”
“……”
Yasui’s pupils become noticeably larger.
Now there is some reaction.
“Sweetheart, name your teacher.”
“If I tell you, do you know who it is?”
“We need to check whether what you say is actually true.”
We’re almost there.
Now it will be enough to just deliver the final blow.
[ …Hmm. ]
I looked at Sierra, who was scratching her cheek out of embarrassment, and then opened my mouth to Yasui.
“The only daughter of Ayako, the owner of the Sakwol Dojo, and she was called Jawol in the past… She is my teacher.”
“…She was alive?”
Yasui, who was lowering his head while looking at the necklace, asked.
“That’s a bit… Vague. I’ll leave the explanation for later. I’m also busy.”
“……”
Soon Yasui fell silent.
It seemed like he was gathering his thoughts for a moment.
If what I said wasn’t true, it was a dangerous situation in which his daughter Shuri could die because he was judged to have disobeyed the order.
I also had some beliefs about him.
“It’s a bloodstone necklace with nothing special, but I can never forget this scent… That’s because it was a perfume I gave myself as a gift. Man, I thought you would have thrown away my gifts a long time ago.”
The scent that permeated the bloodstone necklace.
I thought that if he was really Shuri’s father, he would know something.
I heard that Shuri dislikes Yasui, but it seems she didn’t necessarily like that.
“Good. Don’t believe me.”
“Then these people won’t chase us anymore, right?”
“I promise that whatever you wish for, your wish will come true.”
Yasui raised his head and looked at me.
“Okay. Maduk, follow me.”
“Yes?! Yes, yes…”
Maduk, who was wearing a mask, was startled, read the atmosphere, and slowly approached me.
Ma Deok was necessary to find out Seo Cho-ryang’s plan.
“Did you already remove Maduk’s necklace? I hope I have a chance to clear things up with you later.”
“That’s what I was hoping for. Oh, by the way… It would be better if you didn’t bring Miss Shuri. She’ll probably try to kill me.”
“…Go quickly.”
Yasui burst out laughing and sent me away.
He would know.
How those wearing a bloodstone necklace can avoid dying.
***
After Zeto left, Yasui, who had been looking at the bloodstone necklace for a while, put the necklace in her arms.
Yasui turned his head and slowly scanned the people around him.
All of their faces were covered with masks, but Yasui was well aware of the faces behind the masks.
From retired soldiers and dojos, to disciples who have been with him, and promising young warriors who came to see the 3rd division commander, wanting to follow him.
They were all people whom Yasui, who had been threatened by Seo Cho-ryang, personally put on a bloodstone necklace.
They were shaken by the unexpected situation that suddenly occurred.
“You made me wait a long time.”
Yasui, who was quickly scanning them, gave them his final instructions before Seo Cho-ryang, who noticed the situation, took over the command.
“All those wearing necklaces, attack me.”
“”……””
In the silence that followed, Yasui slammed his sword down on the floor.
“I promise on my name. We will survive tonight.”
Declaration by Yasui, captain of the 3rd division, the five stars of the Yue Kingdom.
They entrusted their lives to him and jumped in all at once.
***
While persuading Yasui and quickly chasing after Aisel, he heard Seo Cho-ryang’s plan from Maduk, who was following him.
“…That’s how it happened.”
After finishing the explanation, Maduk sighs.
“Hmm… Then what if Wolyeonghoe gives up Baekdohwa’s reincarnation?”
“They said that wouldn’t happen. I don’t even know what the Wolyeonghoe is doing in the first place… What kind of fuss is this with reincarnation and all that…”
“Still, you did a good job researching the information I entrusted to you.”
“You have to pay for your life.”
Is that how it happens?
For someone I met by chance, Maduk was quite capable. If things go well, I think I could have him as Keraf’s subordinate.
Is it okay to say that a department in charge of information will be created?
“By the way, Seo Cho-ryang could have easily imprisoned Seo Yi-san, so why are you targeting Wolyeong-hoe?”
“I heard that Wolyeonghoe may have information about Baek Cheon-gyeol. I couldn’t investigate in detail, but Seo Cho-ryang seemed to be more afraid of Baek Cheon-gyeol’s reincarnation. If Baek Tao-hwa was reincarnated, Baek Cheon-gyeol would also have been reincarnated. “I said.”
“Hmm…?”
What information does Wolyeonghoe have about Baek Cheon-gyeol’s reincarnation?
Didn’t the short-haired girl from the Wolyeonghoe who I had been in contact with from the beginning threaten me and tell me not to touch Kaen?
‘There is no other reincarnation of Baek Cheon-gyeol other than me…’
It seemed like Wolyeonghoe was firmly on the wrong foot.
Well, that’s it.
It is said that the Wolyeonghoe will be moving around now, so I thought we could meet Kaen if we go to where he is.
Before that…
“Look, I can see it.”
…Let’s get the twins out of the way first.
“Let’s go together-!?”
I saw the backs of the twins in the distance and waved my hand, calling them with a clear voice.
“How could that bastard…! Eunjeok, you go and stop him.”
“My tongue, my brother is blocking it…! Doesn’t the fact that we’ve come this far mean that we’ve overcome the general?”
Anyway, why am I so happy?
After listening to their stupid conversation all night, I guess I became attached to them without realizing it.
