Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 248
◈ 248. [Side Story] Autumn leaves (2)
“The moon is bright today.”
Kureha's father looked up at the sky and muttered.
“It's a good night for the wolves to run amok.”
“What are you doing… … Are you trying to do this??”
Kureha asked urgently, her shoulders shaking with anxiety..
“Why did you bring me here today??”
“Tonight this child will be sent to the Imperial camp..”
The father walked slowly towards Kuilan, who was lying on the floor..
“This child has taken on the curse of the entire tribe. If you awaken it as a wolf and expose it to a full moon like today, it will become a huge monster..”
“……!”
“This kid will kill imperial soldiers until the end of his life..”
“After that?”
“I'll die.”
My father's voice was extremely calm..
“Either he will be driven out by the imperial army after running rampant as a monster, or he will collapse from exhaustion without being able to handle the manifested curse, and he will eventually die..”
“what…….”
“Then, the curse that escaped the child's body will return to this altar, this maple tree, the guardian tree of our tribe and the starting point of magic... … Then, they will kidnap the child who will become the next 'vessel' and place the curse on them again..”
Kureha asked back harshly..
“The child who spent his life trying to overcome the curse will now be used as a weapon.?”
“…….”
“It's not enough that we turned this child into a monster so that he could live as a human, and now he's giving up his life for us??”
My father silently took out a dagger from his chest. Kureha shouted..
“Please reconsider, father. This is not something people do.!”
“This child is your brother, but he is also my son..”
My father spoke in a stern voice..
“Do you think my heart is not torn??”
The father chanted a spell to activate the spell and stabbed Kuilan in the forehead with the dagger he had drawn..
At the same time, the branches of the maple tree wriggled out like tentacles and engulfed Kuilan's entire body! It dug in with the sound..
“…….”
Black blood flowed from the wound on his forehead, staining his face..
Blood poured from the whole body impaled on the tree branch, forming a puddle. But Kuilan didn't move..
But when his father pulled Kuilan and exposed his wounds to the moonlight,-
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Kuilan twisted his whole body in pain..
Countless red wolf fur sprouted all over the child's body as it was touched by the moonlight. Her mouth became elongated like that of a wolf, and her eyes flashed like those of a wild beast..
There was a terrible sound coming from all the bones in the body, and the child's physique became enlarged..
However, because of the chains tied to his entire body, Kuilan struggled but could not resist..
Eventually, when his father's dagger carved a clear.
Strangely overgrown toenails and ugly molars that do not fit together. And red hair sprouting all over the body.…….
A wolf monster bearing all the curses of its clan..
“Kureha.”
To Kureha, who was watching this scene in awe, her father turned around and gave an order:.
“Drag it away. This monster... … Throw it at the imperial army camp and come back..”
Kureha gritted his teeth and shook his head..
“I can't.”
“Should be.”
“I can't!”
“You idiot!”
The angry father roared..
“You must lead your clan in the future! Are you really going to be so shaken by just your little brother's life??”
“…….”
“Just because that one life is pitiful, are you going to neglect the thousands of lives you have to support? Kureha! Can't I judge clearly what is more important?!”
My father growled like a wolf.
“In order to protect the majority, you must know how to sacrifice the minority with tears of blood... … . that is a leader!”
“If this is the type of sacrifice I make, I will never be a leader..”
Kureha slowly raised her fist and took a fighting stance..
“This kid… … I can't let my brother die. I will stop my father.”
Anger flashed in my father's eyes..
“Are you going to abandon your clan and village now? Everyone in the village only believes in you.?”
“This way is wrong, father! You know it yourself!”
Her father, who was quietly looking at Kureha who didn't want to back down, put his hand in his mouth and whimpered! whistled loudly.
“……?!”
The warriors waiting in front of the altar streamed into the maple door, which was still open..
They were all members of the village chief's personal guard..
My father spat out coldly..
“The warrior Kureha protested against me, the village chief and shaman chief. Subdue it.”
“yes!”
The space was too small and there were too many people to deal with..
Kureha, realizing that resistance was meaningless, slowly relaxed her fighting stance, and the warriors immediately overpowered Kureha and forced her to kneel on the floor..
Her father looked down at Kureha grinding her teeth for a moment and gave an order to the warriors..
“It's just like I said before. Take the monster and release it into the Imperial camp..”
“yes.”
Except for the two warriors holding Kureha, the remaining warriors dragged Kuilan, who had become a monster, with chains and dragged him outside..
Kureha, who was watching the scene, lowered her head. His father let out a long sigh..
“Cool your head and think calmly. Kureha. You are the one who will rule our clan in the future. Without this scapegoat system, our clan would collapse..”
Kureha was silent. His father, who clicked his tongue, changed the subject..
“……I said I would pass on the secrets of the Maple Fist to you. Do you know why I didn't tell you all this time??”
“…….”
“This is because the final technique of the Maple Fist cannot be used by the human body. The curse of our ancestors that flows through our blood... … You have to accept the beast nature to use it. That's why it was sealed.”
My father took out an old book from his arms..
“The name of this five senses is Dansimpungrang (斷心風狼). It is said to be a martial law that can break even the invisible mind. Well, it might be a bit of a grand exaggeration..”
Swish.
The book her father threw landed in front of Kureha's lap..
“Take it. It is a book of law that summarizes all the judgments of the maple realm, including the five principles. It was passed down from generation to generation to the leader of the clan..”
Kureha slowly reached out and grabbed the old book..
“It is also a symbol that proves that the clan's generations are being continued..”
A martial art that is handed down but cannot be used.
So what on earth does this mean?.
“When this war is over, succeed me as the village chief. Kureha. lead the clan.”
“…….”
“You can do it well.”
Kureha heard her father's words like this.
After your brother dies today, find another victim and curse the entire tribe, turning them into monsters..
In order for everyone else to live as humans, create a scapegoat, confine them here, and raise them..
This terrible ‘peace’ that has been passed down for generations - you too, should contribute your hand..
“……I refuse, father..”
Fuu - Kureha caught her breath..
All the other warriors took their younger brother and escaped, leaving only the two warriors and their father..
Pow! What a joke-!
Kureha swung his fist and elbow like a thunderbolt, striking the chins of the two warriors who were pressing down on his shoulders..
The two warriors couldn't even scream and fell out, vomiting blood..
My father's face twisted with anger. Kureha declared, shaking her fist..
“I'm going to rescue Kuilan..”
“You idiot! Still don't understand? Your brother can't be saved. He's already a monster!”
“Dad, don’t you still know??”
Kureha lowered her posture and raised her fist forward..
“The real monster is you.”
“Inooooom-!”
As the enraged father cast a spell, maple tree branches pulsated like tentacles and poured out from all directions..
***
Kuilan, who became a giant wolf, was calm despite his appearance..
With his entire body wrapped in chains, he walked calmly as the warriors led him..
However, because its appearance was so hideous and intimidating, the warriors dragged Kuilan away without relaxing even an inch..
It was when we reached the border of the village, the outer gate surrounded by a wooden fence..
Paat-!
Kureha, who had stepped on a tree branch and approached from above, fell down and stretched out her fists and feet..
The warriors, who were focusing all their attention on the wolves, were unable to respond to the surprise attack and had to allow the attack..
puck! Powok!
“Wow!”
“Ku, Kureha?!”
“What is this!”
Kureha, who quickly defeated the three warriors, took a deep breath and raised her fist forward..
Although his entire body was covered in blood from shaking off his father, the rest of the warriors naturally swallowed their dry saliva due to the fighting spirit shown by Kureha, the strongest warrior in the tribe..
Kureha let out a quiet sigh..
“Free him. I will take you back.”
“Don't talk nonsense, Kureha.!”
“This is an order from your father, the chief and chief of the tribe! You do not have the power to revoke that order.!”
“If you don't have the authority, take it by force..”
Kureha gathered strength in her toes and shot forward..
“I will stop this crazy tragedy from my generation. My younger brother... … Give it back!”
a battle took place.
Kureha was the tribe's strongest warrior, but the tribe's warriors were also elites trained in actual combat. The battle was tense..
Since they were colleagues who had been together for a long time, they tried to avoid using each other as much as possible, but as the battle became more intense, their attacks became sharper..
Kureha's fists and the tips of the warriors' swords swung more and more threateningly..
Then at some point-
visor!
Kureha dodged the tip of the sword swung by one of the warriors, and the tip of the sword hit the chain that bound the wolf monster..
Sparks flew and the chain broke. Everyone looked there in shock..
《Crumbling……?》
Monster - Kuilan blinked and saw a broken chain..
Soon the monster twisted its body. As if trying to stretch.
OK.
Cheer up! Hood crackle!
The chains hanging from the body all screamed and fell down..
In the first place, it was not a monster that could be restrained with chains like this. I was just held captive all this time.…….
《Crrrrr…….》
The monster looked at his free body with curiosity..
Looking up at the monster, the warriors and Kureha swallowed their dry saliva without realizing it..
and.
Taat-!
The monster moved at a speed that made it unbelievable that it came from that massive body..
When she closed her eyes and opened them, the monster was standing in front of Kureha. Kureha couldn't even think of moving and looked up at the monster in a daze..
The monster's hand slowly stretched out and touched Kureha's neck. Kureha sensed death.
I thought those giant claws were going to rip my head off..
……But, it wasn't.
The monster tapped the coins on the necklace around Kureha's neck with the tip of its claws, then opened its mouth with ugly teeth and spewed out unclear language..
The slurred pronunciation was terrible, but Kureha could clearly understand it..
《……tongue, tongue?》
Kureha's eyes widened..
Does this child remember the coin toss from his childhood?.
The eyes of the wolf monster I faced were innocent..
Just like any other boy's.
“Kuilan, you…….”
Kureha spits out her younger brother's name and stretches out her hand toward him.,
“Kureha! It's dangerous-!”
Warriors with drawn swords rushed in..
From the side, it only looked like a huge monster trying to rip off Kureha's throat..
Although they had been confronting each other just a little while ago, Kureha was the clan's hero, the son of the village chief, and a comrade fighting the imperial army together..
The warriors raised their weapons against the monster to save Kureha..
Kureha screamed..
“No, not this kid! Kuilan is……!”
Phuwak-!
However, there was no time to stop it..
Warriors rushed in from all directions, sinking their swords into the monster's back and sides. The monster twisted its body and let out a terrible scream..
《Ahhhhh!》
Blood spouted like a fountain from the monster's wound..
Drops of blood soared and splashed onto the faces of the warriors. The hot blood was black and sticky and had a foul smell..
The warriors quickly wiped away the blood from their eyes, noses, and mouths and retreated..
“Huh?! What's this!”
“Cough, cluck! Shit, blood got in my mouth…….”
“uh……?”
One of the warriors who was hastily wiping his face winced. The warrior who had not received blood asked urgently:.
“Hey, are you okay? what's the matter?”
“Moon is…….”
With monster blood dripping from his face, the warrior looked up at the sky as if possessed..
“Moon is… … Was it that big?……?”
“what?”
“Bright, so… … I can't open my eyes…….”
Wow. Wood clatter.
The warrior's skeleton began to distort..
The back was bent, the jaw was open, the joints of the limbs were bent, and the claws were sprouting. and covered with fur.
All the warriors with blood on their faces began to mutate..
The other warriors who were watching this scene dropped their weapons one by one and sat down on the floor..
“Hee hee hee hee?!”
“What is this?……!”
Kureha also watched this crazy scene, then hesitated and took a step back..
“no way…….”
After swallowing the monster's blood and being covered in it, the ancestral curse within it manifests..
The wolf blood inherent in the bodies of the tribal warriors was awakened..
Ah ah ah ah ah-!
Under the pouring full moonlight, Hwiyeongcheong.
The warriors, who had completely transformed into werewolves, let out hideous screams all at once..
