The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association - Episode 12
〈 12Episode 〉 Village leader Kang-ho's first appearance, and the seductress (6）
* * *
The palace was in chaos..
Even though business had not yet started properly, it was crowded with rioters..
Mo Ri-won, who left the top floor with Hwa-seo, looked down the railing and rolled his eyes..
‘Where are you?.’
There was a feeling of energy.
A very refined life.
It was shooting towards us, calmly and secretly blurring itself, like a fish swimming under a lake..
Mokriwon has sharpened its spirit to become broader and sharper..
And only at the end was he able to find a man standing awkwardly at the entrance of Gyeonghwaru..
‘…There it is.’
His facial features could not be confirmed because his face was covered with a large hat, but the sturdy physique and rough hands covered with scars underneath clearly belonged to a military man..
In addition, the heavy energy and energy that emanated from him showed that his martial arts skills were not at an average level..
In a tense moment, the unmanned person raised his head..
Startle.
Mo Liwon’s fingertips trembled..
‘…A more mature state than me.’
Mokriwon knew right away..
That he is a master who has reached the peak of maturity.
brief eye contact.
As soon as the two people confirmed each other's presence, the man turned and left the palace..
Only then did Mo Ri-won feel the tension in his jaw relax and looked at Hwa-seo..
And I had to swallow my surprise.
“…soger?”
Hwa-seo was looking at the spot where the man had left with an expression that Mok-ri-won had never seen before..
Pupils shaking terribly.
A face turned white.
Mokriwon knew..
That expression was one of fear.
*
It didn't take long for the commotion to calm down..
This is because once the guards guarding Giru and Hwaseo's bodyguards began to attack in earnest, there was no way for them to stop them..
It went well.
It could have been expressed that way, but Hwa-seo's expression didn't really straighten when she returned to the top floor..
The reason was that Hwa-seo also saw the man that Mok Ri-won saw..
I wasn't able to find him out of fear or survival, but I was able to find him because I already knew the man..
‘…Table calculation.’
A gloomy complexion and washed-out wrinkles.
It was clearly the shadow of the hateful family that followed him throughout his childhood..
Lady, it's time..
The voice announcing the painful times is played again.
At the same time, a feeling arises as if all the organs in my body were being twisted..
It was a pain (??).
Even though it was a pain that she no longer had to feel, and even though she knew it was an illusion, Hwa-seo had to let go of the pain..
‘You found me….’
I finally got here.
Those damn things had finally found themselves by searching through them without missing even the slightest clue..
‘It's a failure.’
It seemed like the long run was coming to an end..
No, can we call this the end?.
‘It's probably the beginning of a more terrible time.’
Now that they know that you are thinking about escaping, they will become more persistent..
I won't leave anything behind, and I'll even try to erase everything I already have..
Hwa-seo bit her lip tightly as she still felt the presence on the ceiling and in front of the door..
‘…They must be allowed to escape alive..’
These are the people who gave up their names and faces for themselves..
If things continue like this, they will all be killed by Pyo-san's hands..
‘At least.’
If they can't escape, they must at least come up with a plan so that they can survive..
“Small cooperative.”
Hwaseo called Mok Riwon..
Only then did Mo Ri-won open his mouth that had been kept closed the whole time..
“speak.”
“Can I ask you a favor?.”
“What is it?”
“Please evacuate my children to a safe place. I will do my best to avoid offending Hyang, so please do..”
There was rustling movement everywhere..
Immediately after, seven masked people jumped out from the ceiling and one masked person jumped out from in front of the door and prostrated himself in front of Hwa-seo..
Sohyang, who was at the forefront, said.
“This won't happen.”
“It's an order, follow it..”
Hwaseo did not see them.
I just closed my eyes and said that.
It meant that no plea would be accepted..
It was ironic, but Sohyang and the masked men had no choice but to follow his words..
In general, she was a generous person in everything, but she had the quirk of never backing down from something she had made up her mind to do..
“please. Small cooperative.”
Words given again to Mokriwon.
Mo Ri-won quietly looked at Hwa-seo and asked a question..
“What are you planning to do with me??”
“I will go to them. They will be satisfied with giving that one away, and their lives will be intact..”
“Are you giving up? Without even fighting?”
Hwa-seo's eyes opened.
Not knowing what the words she just heard meant or their intention, she looked at Mok Riwon..
The man in front of me was looking at me with a calm expression..
“Why do you have to give up? And why do they have to run away??”
It was a naive question like always, but Hwa-seo thought that for some reason there seemed to be something different from usual in it..
That's because right now he's not smiling and showing favor like he usually does..
“Small cooperative?”
“I know. Sozer is not a person who has committed a sin. No, he is a person who accumulates good karma and not sin. The smiles of those on this staircase prove it..”
The words he spat out were in the form of praising her as before, but the tone this time was also different..
It was obvious.
This is why Mokriwon is not happy at all right now..
‘The reason was so simple that even the question ‘why’ felt like a luxury..
“A good man does not kneel. In fact, it's the opposite. It is the wicked who have to kneel and beg for their lives..”
It was because the current situation did not fit his thoughts at all..
Hwa-seo let out a laugh..
In my head, even at moments like this, I was thinking about punching that talkative talker..
In fact, it was an opinion that could be ignored..
All you had to do was give them money and tell them to pay off their debt..
However, Hwa-seo protested against those words..
This was because there was an anger inside her that even she could not understand..
That frustration was the reason why it occurred to me that I hated seeing that personality that only tries to be upright..
“Yes, you are very right. But do you know what? The world doesn't go the way it should. You need great power to prove your will. Just looking at the current situation, it is like that. Down there, you said there was a peak warrior, right? Judging by his appearance, his inaction must be more stubborn than yours..”
Mok Riwon did not refute.
It was an unspoken affirmation..
Hwa-seo clenched her fist and continued speaking..
“Even if that is the case, what would you do? Can you beat that drone? Do you think things will get better if we resist and confront those drones? Try this. Moorim is not as romantic a place as you think. If we face it like this, the end result will be a terrible defeat. Even people who can be saved will die..”
Have you ever talked this much lately?.
Hwa-seo was overcome by emotion, spilling out words and gasping for breath..
Hwa-seo still didn't know why he was talking like this..
She herself couldn't figure out what was making her so angry..
…No, actually, I didn’t know if I knew..
Hwa-seo frowned and smiled bitterly..
‘I guess I just fell in love with you.’
Maybe that's what I was worried about, whether that stupid person would die chasing that kind of romance..
Anyway, the thought that it would be nice to keep everything together may have occurred to me..
‘Have we become too deeply involved?.’
While Hwa-seo was thinking of regrets due to a sudden feeling of helplessness, Mok Ri-won said:.
“You won't know until you try.”
“…what?”
“I said you won't know until you try it. Um, no.”
Mok Riwon got up from his seat..
He still had a calm expression on his face..
For a moment he stared into space as if he was thinking about something, then he turned his head towards Hwaseo and smiled..
“I don't think I'm going to lose.”
The back of my head feels tight..
The moment Hwa-seo was about to get up to slap his face with anger that he could no longer bear, Mok Ri-won continued,.
“There is something you forgot..”
Stop.
Hwaseo’s body stopped..
The person who brightened her vision was Mo Ri-won, who had a trusting face that did not fit the theme..
“A thief will not lose to a villain. This is a line from the swordsman in Chapter 1 of Ganghohyeopgaekjeon..”
Knock knock.
After patting my arm and saying the words, Mo Ri-won walked towards the door..
“I'll come back.”
Squeak.
the door is closed.
*
A large manor on the outskirts of Suyang County.
Two men were sitting across from each other in the cabinet of a building with a sign that read 'Ilryunhoe (一？會)' written in stylish handwriting on the front door..
One was the head of Ilryunhoe, a giant bowing down with a servile face, and the other was Pyosan, who found Hwaseo at the entrance of Gyeonghwaru..
“Well, since you are here, I have no choice but to put myself where I should be.….”
“Stop talking nonsense. I feel humiliated enough just to be in the same room with dark people like you..”
flinch.
Hoeju Kang Byeok-un trembled slightly at the sight of Pyo-san..
Inside, I was filled with dissatisfaction..
‘A shameless bastard.’
He said he would come and help first, but he said the same thing, so it doesn't look nice..
The reason he cannot complain is because his inaction is so strong that even if everyone in the Ilryunkai attacks him, not a single hair of his hair can be touched..
“Si, I made a mistake.…!”
Kang Byeok-un bowed his head even deeper..
I had to endure it.
Gyeonghwaru is the largest monument in Suyang County..
The benefit to be gained by devouring that place was not enough to be distorted by emotional issues or anything like that..
Kang Byeok-un quietly filled Pyo-san's glass..
I will somehow get the job done in a way that pleases them..
While thinking about that and forcing a smile on my face,.
Suddenly!
“older brother! It's an intrusion!”
The vice president who was guarding the cabinet hurriedly opened the door and shouted..
Kang Byeok-woon and Pyo-san's eyes turned towards him at the same time..
“what? invasion? who?”
“No, I don’t know! that is….”
Buhoeju’s face was completely white..
The expression that came to mind was as if he had seen a ghost..
“…Ha, one person. There is one person.”
In context, it would mean that there was one intruder and that he ran all the way here because he couldn't stop him..
At that moment, Kang Byeok-woon's face turned red and he was about to yell, Pyo-san stood up..
“I guess it's him.”
Kang Byeok-woon looked at Pyosan as if he knew something..
Pyosan looked away and said.
“I can guess. I'll come back.”
He left only a few words and passed by Vice President to head to the place where the commotion was heard..
*
Wow!
Mo Ri-won walked inside, slashing the approaching black swords with the sheath of his sword..
Invasion carried out alone.
However, there was no one who could stop him..
It was obvious.
The ultimate warrior is a species that is definitely classified as a superhuman..
To that extent, there is nothing that can be done about him in the dark streets where criminals gather together to wreak havoc..
“Where is Hoeju?.”
Mo Ri-won, who had finally defeated all the black swords in the garden, asked the person who had fallen on the ground with a calm face..
That moment.
Sigh!
Something passed Mo Liwon's cheek, leaving a cut on his face..
Mokriwon’s head was raised..
What was there was a middle-aged man with a gloomy appearance wearing a hat and the peak of a warrior seen at the entrance of Gyeonghwaru..
“I guess I ended up here. No, should I say thank you for saving me the trouble of finding it?.”
Words spoken in a relaxed tone.
Mok Riwon’s eyes sank..
The moment I saw him, my doubts turned into confidence..
‘…also.’
The energy I felt from that man was so pure..
“I have something to ask you..”
“Ask me. Since you have achieved such feats at such a young age, I will show you that much mercy as my senior..”
You are a senior.
Mok Riwon pondered those words..
As I did so, I felt my head go cold..
“I said senior, senior..”
“Yes, but.”
“There was something I thought about the whole time I came here..”
chin.
Mokriwon has taken a step forward..
Then I spit out the question that came to my mind..
“There was something I didn't understand. The energy I feel from you is obviously pure, but why is someone like you helping the Black Island?.”
“That's a misunderstanding….”
“There won't be any. There shouldn't be any. It should never be there.”
chin.
Another step, Mokriwon steps forward..
The face that had been calm until just a moment ago began to slowly show signs of coldness, and at some point it became cold..
“How dare you say something that tarnishes the reputation of so many charlatans..”
It was close to a mutter..
It was also close to autosuggestion..
It was like that..
The emotion Mok Ri-won felt now while looking at Pyo-san was anger, something he rarely shows..
“You must not do evil things or say things that trample on good people..”
It should have been a sanctuary for Mokriwon..
In addition, it had to be a righteousness that would make even one who was born with the devil into a charlatan..
That's why he couldn't forgive Pyo-san..
“I'll get there.”
sreung.
Mok Riwon's sword came out of its sheath for the first time..
The thing that rises above is a silent star.
He was a swordsman, the symbol of a warrior who had reached his peak..
“Don't you dare discuss being a senior with that ugly mouth..”
For a moment, a blood-red glow passed through Mo Liwon’s eyes..
