Chapter 8
Exciting! Exciting!
My heart is racing. The hand holding the jungle island takes strength..
Victory close to certainty.
Gyedal, absorbed in that sensation, fluttered his nostrils and shouted at the top of his voice..
“Come on, let's go!”
Gyedal swung the jungle sword.
The warrior of the beast tribe who was right in front of me could not stop it and allowed me to enter the chest..
Pushushoo shoot!
Blood spurted like a fountain from between the open skin..
I passed between them and gave orders to the surrounding soldiers..
“This is the momentum! Let's use this momentum to inflict heavenly punishment on the barbarians.!”
Gyedal looked at Joo Seo-cheon's back and had hope..
Even though the distance was quite long, it was strangely visible..
Like a child who won an alley fight, I couldn't control my excitement..
‘I can finally get revenge.’
There have been many battles with major tribes. Most of them were defeats..
There were times when he ran away after being openly insulted, and there were times when subordinates who were like brothers were brutally murdered..
Every time that happened, I ran out of strength and retreated, shedding bloody tears. The moon is that circle
never forget one.
“Today is my day to fulfill my long-cherished wish so that those who have died can rest in peace.……”
Suddenly!
“……uh?”
Gyedal stopped his body and couldn't continue his thoughts..
It happened so quickly that my mind couldn't keep up with the situation..
I blinked and then turned my gaze to the side..
Paya… … - ?
does not exist.
There is no sword to suffocate the enemy..
The hand holding the knife is missing..
Cut cleanly up to the shoulder.
It was so clean, not a single drop of blood flowed..
It's at a slippery level..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
And binge drinking that followed later.
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
“Wow!!”
I heard the screams of my subordinates from the rear..
The scream woke me up from my daze and made me realize what had happened..
I imagined a double-edged ax flying from the front, spinning furiously with a whirling sound..
He cut off his own arm so easily that it fell into the middle of the troops behind him and devastated them..
“black……”
Know. I've only seen that ax once..
At that time, when I saw that axe, I suffered a blow that was close to destruction..
A nightmare came to mind and my body became stiff..
I remembered something I had forgotten.
Chief of the Beast Tribe.
“buffalo!”
“Gooooooooooooooooo!”
The owner of the axe, the roar of the black buffalo echoed throughout the battlefield..
The fierce fighting that was taking place everywhere came to a halt..
crackle crackle!
A sound is made when the jaw bones collide.
The hair stood on end, and the body began to fall like an aspen..
I tried my best to stop it, but it was no use..
As reason became paralyzed, my instincts rang an alarm to quickly run away..
A giant nearly nine feet tall.
A body that doesn't look human at all.
And the momentum is like a storm.
A spirit that reaches 100,000 per day.
I shuddered at the sight and couldn't even lift a finger..
“I saved it, but it climbed up without even knowing what it was. There's nothing to see anymore.”
Thump thump.
The ground shakes every time the black buffalo walks.
I didn't know if it was an illusion created by fear or if it was real..
Through the bone mask, I could see burning pupils resembling those of an animal..
Like a mouse in front of a cat, I couldn't move..
‘It would be dangerous to leave it alone any longer..’
Most of the beast tribe do not think and rely on their instincts..
But the black buffalo is different..
Becoming a tribal leader requires intelligence as well as strength..
‘If you leave it like this, you will be at a disadvantage in later battles between tribes..’
Although there were twice as many troops, they were not afraid at all..
I wasn't careful because everyone was in disarray..
However, as time passed, the damage to the tribe was worse than expected..
They will not be defeated, but if their numbers decrease, there is a high possibility that they will be looked down on by the Tokchung tribe or the Guhi tribe..
So I stopped watching and went out for myself..
No more joking around. It's time to show the power of the beast.
“It's over……”
“we are all dead……”
Despair flowed from the soldiers' mouths..
Cheonjinjang, who lost his arm, also became gloomy..
A forgotten fear. overwhelming force.
Even the screaming sound you showed me just now.
My head, my heart, and my soul did not listen..
I also forgot about the midfielder who was showing his performance from far away..
Not only would it take time for them to get through this melee and get here, but I doubted whether they would even be of any help in the first place..
“Come on, I'll sweep it all away..”
A black haze flowed over the body of the black buffalo..
The fluttering threads become one and become thicker..
What is especially noticeable is the huge horns of the water buffalo..
It felt like it belonged to a devil or a goblin..
It's over. The moment they saw that horn, no one survived..
I'm sure I'll lose my life to a black buffalo.
“Gooooooooooo!”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
The black buffalo kicked the ground. It was a wild boar, no, it was a water buffalo..
It raises a cloud of dust and turns the ground into a wasteland..
The wall of air was pierced, and a gust of wind blew behind it, blowing away everyone nearby, friend or friend alike..
“ah……”
Gyedal closed his eyes.
The subordinates next to and behind him were the same..
I wanted to avoid it, but I couldn't. That was death.
People cannot avoid death. must accept.
In my closed vision, my life up to now flashed like a flash of light..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A loud noise erupted. It's big enough to make your eardrums fall off..
It was almost as if lightning had struck a dry sky..
The aftermath of the shock was also unusual..
The bushes surrounding the temple were shaken to the point of being uprooted..
It was like a street where a typhoon had passed through..
“uh?”
However, strangely, I felt no pain..
I wondered if he had died before he could feel any pain, but that wasn't the case. My body still feels the same.
The wind blowing through the hair, the chicken meat growing on the skin, and even the fishy scent of blood remained intact..
Gyedal felt something strange and opened his eyes..
The moment the darkness cleared and the light came in, Gyedal could not close his mouth in shock..
“This, this……”
There was a person in front of me.
I saw a young man holding on to the horns of a water buffalo..
That back could never be considered wide..
It was very narrow compared to the water buffalo..
Strangely enough, that back felt bigger than any old tree or large leaf in the South..
“Why do you come to such an odd place and show off your strength?.”
Young man, Joo Seocheon curled the corners of his mouth and smiled..
“Yes this guy……!”
There was anger in the black buffalo's eyes..
No one has ever blocked his path.
Anyone who blocks the water buffalo's path is flattened like a rice cake..
The black buffalo did not forgive anyone who got in its way..
“Inoooooooooooooo!”
The black buffalo lost his cool.
The tranquility that was as calm as a lake collapsed..
My eyes were bloodshot and red from anger..
As my blood pressure rose, my skin turned dark red..
I snorted loudly and worked hard with my feet to move forward..
pabababat!
Step with your left foot, step with your right foot.
Step with your right foot, step with your left foot.
I run and run, crossing my steps.
“Whoop!”
Joo Seocheon takes a deep breath and stops..
I exploded my internal power and raised it to the maximum..
The upper arm muscles were swollen..
Boom.
“Uh oh?”
A muffled voice came from the warriors of the beast tribe..
Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were open..
I could hear the black buffalo always moving forward with the momentum of destroying everything in front of it..
Floated in the air and stood at a right angle.
Joo Seo-cheon increased his weight with the help of Cheon Geun-chu and used his two strong legs as pillars..
Then, using his explosive strength, he lifted the black buffalo by its horns..
“no way……”
Someone's murmur. And it may come true.
“Urapchaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A burst of energy came from Joo Seo-cheon’s mouth..
And the next action was to slam it to the floor..
Wow!!
“Wow!!”
Chief of the Beast Tribe, Black Buffalo.
Namman's strongest man was caught by his horns and slammed to the ground..
A large body measuring almost 9 feet tall fell down with all its might, and considering its weight, the force was unusual..
Vertical becomes horizontal. The ship hit the ground..
My ribs are strong! It broke with a sound..
The fragmented bone pierced my internal organs and made me vomit blood..
The circulation of inner energy becomes a mess..
The strength carried by the horn dispersed like fog..
‘Oh my, bitch……!’
The black buffalo cursed in pain..
I tried to struggle to get away, but I couldn't..
“Let's go one more time!”
Joo Seocheon did not let go of the horn..
The ground turned over, but I didn't lose my balance..
He lifted the body of the black buffalo and struck it down once more with all his might..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Wow!!”
A black water buffalo spits out blood..
It seemed like something was broken again, but that wasn't important..
Even the tough skin and muscles, which ended in scratches even when cut with a knife, were unable to withstand the overwhelming impact and ruptured..
A shock that shakes the brain. My senses are all broken..
I can't exert any strength properly. I couldn't continue my thoughts.
Eventually, I realized what the problem was, and the moment I tried to take off the bone mask, the heavy body floated away again..
And then you hear despairing words.
“buffalo swordsmanship!”
Joo Seocheon grabbed the black buffalo and started swinging it..
“Ugh, ugh.!”
Kkegaeng!
The screams of people and animals rang out together..
Joo Seocheon wielded the black buffalo like a weapon and swept away the enemies in front of him..
Because its body was so massive, it looked more like it had pulled out a pole and was swinging it rather than a person..
Of course, it didn't really cut me, but the force was not normal, so I was thrown away every time I hit it..
“Hey, what is that?!”
“Tribal chief?!”
A voice of astonishment erupted from the Beast Tribe camp..
Seeing the bizarre scene of people swinging wildly, using the leader of the tribe as a substitute for a sword, I felt like I was losing my senses..
“What, what……?”
It was the same with Gyedal, who lost his arm..
Maybe he was too embarrassed to feel the pain, but he still stood there blankly..
The soldiers around him were also unable to move due to embarrassment instead of fear..
“Hyaaaaaap!”
Whether the allies and enemies were embarrassed or not, Ju Seo-cheon did not care at all and instead took advantage of the opportunity to launch an offensive..
The warriors of the Beast Tribe were swept away by the black water buffalo wielded by Ju Seo-cheon, as if they were dolls gathered together..
It's literally autumn leaves.
Six or seven people ran away screaming, as if they were sweeping away leaves with a broom..
The speed of the kill was so fast that 80 people were killed in an instant..
“Come to your senses!”
While I was still dazed, Wanchae's voice hit my eardrums..
“Hut!”
Gyedal came to his senses late..
Now that I think about it, aren’t we still standing in the middle of the battlefield?.
This is not the time. I couldn't miss this opportunity now.
I took out a straw from my pocket, wrapped it around the cut part of my arm to prevent bleeding, and lifted it in the opposite direction..
It's not my dominant hand, but I can't complain..
I'm lucky just to be able to lift the jungle map..
“It's now!”
Gyedal raised his voice and shouted..
“The black buffalo was struck! Aim for this moment!”
His shouts echoed throughout the battlefield and woke up the dazed soldiers..
“Do not leave alone the evil thieves of the Great Forest! Let us show the power of the Allied Forces.!”
Undeterred, he raised his baton and gave orders..
Upon hearing the news of the Black Buffalo's defeat, the morale of the Blue and White Allied Forces soared..
A roar that shook the heavens and earth came from their mouths and filled the battlefield..
The flag fluttered with the momentum, and the drummer beat the drum, rekindling the fire in the soldiers' hearts..
Wow!
Perhaps because of the fierce fighting, the number of 3,000 was reduced to 2,500..
Including the seriously injured, the number is 2,000 to 2,100..
Truly a tribe of beasts.
It was amazing that this level of damage was inflicted even though the difference in power was twice that..
However, the beast tribe also suffered great damage..
The three hundred beasts were reduced to less than a hundred, and there were only five to six hundred warriors left..
Above all, the biggest loss is the absence of the tribal leader..
When the tribe's strongest warrior was defeated, the decline in morale was just as great..
In the world of beasts, strength is important..
As the symbolism of that power disappeared, the aftereffects were greater than others..
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Dan Ha-seong laughed when he saw Joo Seo-cheon running wild..
Still, I was able to just laugh it off because it was simple..
If he were an ordinary political figure and prosecutor, he would not have been able to hide his displeasure upon seeing Joo Seo-cheon's treason..
You swing a person like a sword. That's not swordsmanship or anything..
It was never a good thing to do.
Some people thought it was because Dan Ha-seong was a fortune-teller..
The Jeomchang faction, which was famous for its practical martial arts, had a mixture of political factions and sadistic factions..
As he considered actual combat on the battlefield more important than Taoist practice, he sometimes thoughtlessly committed acts that went against the etiquette of the political faction..
Of course, even from the point of view of the fortune-telling group, it was still bizarre, but since he was a benefactor who saved my life twice, I just ignored it..
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
The situation has completely turned over..
Just a moment ago, the Allied forces were frightened and hesitant, but now it is the opposite. The beast tribe was scared..
Looking down from above, the battlefield was clearly visible..
Victory was in the hands of the Allies..
Since there was no leader, it was easy to deal with the remnants..
Even if it is a major tribe in Nanman, it is difficult to do anything about losing its chief and doubling the difference in power..
In particular, the animal that was trying to hunt a group of people with its eyes flashing lowered its tail and slowly retreated..
Starting with that, the beast tribe grew tired and eventually began to retreat..
“where!”
“The Beast Tribe Runs Away!”
“Don't miss it!”
But it's not the Allied Forces that will miss it..
They had great resentment towards the major tribes and did not allow them to escape..
My body was creaky and it hurt like my skin was going to tear, but I threw myself away to suffocate the enemy..
And one o'clock later.
The Allied flag was raised above the temple..
The Beast Tribe was defeated. It was a complete defeat.
They weren't completely extinct like a cannibalistic tribe, but they lost their leader and dispersed, so it was practically ruined..
The black water buffalo, one of Nanman's greatest warriors, also died..
According to rumors, the black buffalo was caught by a certain Jungwon man and was swung like a bat before he lost his life..
It was a humiliating end, uncharacteristic of a great warrior..
Perhaps because of the aftermath, the morale of the beast tribe fell to the bottom..
In the end, they ended up running away as a ragtag group, only to be caught by the Allied Forces and brutally murdered..
And it was in an instant that this news spread throughout Nanman..
“What?”
The man's face was distorted with anger..
“What on earth are they doing?!”
One thousand and three hundred. It was never a small number.
However, they suffered damage that was no different from extinction, and compared to that, the damage from the enemy Allied Forces was very minimal..
Even if I lost, I shouldn't have suffered a complete defeat..
In order to achieve their goal, the beast tribe had to take some time..
No, even if you couldn't drag it, you should have at least caused damage so that they couldn't attack you hastily..
However, for some reason, the fierce battle ended in less than a day, and even the number of enemies did not change much..
If we leave it like this, it will collide with a force exceeding 2,000..
No matter how major the shortage was, the power gap was severe..
“When this is over, I will kill the tribal leaders, whether Dokchung or Guhee, with my own hands..”
When I heard that the already insufficient power would be divided into three and operated independently, I could not believe my ears..
I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't do anything because they were famous for their high pride..
I understand that the Blue and White Allied Forces do not seem very threatening, but isn't there a variable this time called the Central Plains?.
Above all, I looked at the number 3,000 too funny..
That was the loss.
“Did you know about the people of Jungwon??”
“It seems like a poisonous bong has arrived. Other than that, I found out that they are Tangga and fortune-teller..”
If this had been Jungwon, we might have known its identity more quickly and in detail..
But this is Namman..
Since we were not interested in each other, not much was known about it..
All that was widely known was that the inaction of the search party that came to find someone in the central region was greater than anyone could have imagined..
“Surely that doesn't mean it's the end??”
“sorry.”
“Pathetic guy.”
I'm too busy to check out the battlefield right now..
Because there were so few hands, each and every talent was important..
“Faith is?”
“It is said that he obtained dictatorship from Mandokji..
But I think it will take about five days to come back..”
Suha showed me a bug wriggling on his palm..
It's a bug called a sound bite, and it has unique characteristics..
During breeding season, males randomly store sounds around them and pass them on to females who are also breeding season. The Tokchung tribe took advantage of this characteristic and used it as a transmission system like the Jeonseogu of the Central Plains..
“Guhi's refinement technique, poisonous poison's poison.”
The man wet his lips with his tongue and laughed unpleasantly.
“There isn't much left. Once this is completed, this boring Namman will be goodbye..”
Nanman was a terrible place.
Since it was a tropical region, it was hot, humid, and irritable if I stayed still..
Anyone who said it wouldn't be hot if they stayed still had to be caught and kicked..
It was such an annoying place..
I just wanted to go back as soon as possible.
“What are you planning to do??”
“Leave it alive. And when the Allied Forces invade, report as much as possible. Let me focus on the podium.”
