Chapter 239: Side Story (6)
Chak!
“W-wait, what are you doing?”
The Emperor was shocked at Chun Yeowun’s actions, who cut the iron bars and entered. He couldn’t understand why he was doing it.
Clank!
“Kuaaak!”
The monster corpse only had one arm, the left arm, and it was tied. The body was rotting and disgusting.
Chun Yeowun approached it.
“Be careful. If you are bitten or scratched by it—”
Crack!
“Kuaaak!”
Before the Emperor could warn, half of the monster’s body was instantly buried on the floor. The rotten corpse made strange sounds which were probably because of pain.
‘Haa…’
The Emperor bit his tongue. He knew that Chun Yeowun was a monster and was called the Demon God, but he kept getting shocked. On the other hand, the Crown Prince looked at Chun Yeowun weirdly.
‘Hmm.’
Chun Yeowun touched the blood of the monster with his hand. It was to find out what state it was. He closed his eyes as he was inspecting it. He seemed like a doctor looking for something and found it strange.
‘Strange.’
The monster was neither alive nor dead; rather, it was in a subtle state. It was like both life and death existed at the same time. Typically, it shouldn’t be like that.
‘Nano?’
[ It is difficult to determine the truth from a biological point of view. The dead cells are moving. ]
It was the same when even Nano scanned. This was something more than artificial control.
But it was strange.
‘This energy… seems very similar to.’
The energy from the monster was something Chun Yeowun was familiar with.
“Did you say it was picked up in the ruins?”
The Crown Prince answered.
“… yes.”
“Hmm.”
Chun Yeowun stroked his chin. He couldn’t get much. It seemed like he had to ask her directly.
Chun Yeowun said, grabbing the neck of the monster on the floor,
“Let me take this one.”
“W-what?”
Shhh!
As soon as the Emperor questioned, Chun Yeowun and the rotten corpse were sucked into space.
The Emperor was flustered.
“Huh.”
The Crown Prince looked at the empty cell and spoke to the Emperor with a strange smile.
“Now that he has stepped forward, there will be good news. Especially to our Imperial family.”
That smile was more evil than kind.
The place is full of fog. There were sounds of flesh being cut off.
Chak!
There were also sounds from the crushing mouths of the people. Facing the worst situation, they struggled to overcome the fog, which didn’t let them see, and the monsters that kept chasing them. They were the prey.
“Kuak!”
“Back away!”
Yun Ja-seo cut off the legs of a monster. Since they don’t die, parts were cut to hinder movements.
‘Don’t be bitten.’
He saw two of his men turning into monsters. It wasn’t known what it was, but he could become like them if he’s bitten. It was necessary to avoid being bitten.
“Ahhh!”
“Shit!”
But that wasn’t easy. Another one of his men was bitten by the monster of his ankle. It was tough to deal with the rotten corpses that felt no pain and kept coming after them.
Clench!
“Nooooooo!”
Another had his wrist bitten.
“Damn it!”
Surprised, the man beside him found it and made a grievous expression as he cut the head off.
Chak!
He couldn’t help but watch his comrades turn into monsters. Maybe the others also understood it, so they dealt with them without another word.
Chachachacha!
Chun Woo-myung and the others, too, were going through the same. The monsters kept coming at them.
“Uncle Hu, we cannot keep doing this. There is no end.”
Chak!
Hu Bong cut one of its legs and kicked the body to answer.
“Euk! I have the same thought, Young Master.”
They were incredibly pressured not to be bitten by the rotten corpses that don’t die. No matter how strong they were, they couldn’t deal with it.
Even when they\'re put on fire, they still run!
Hu Bong made a wall of flames, but they still would come through it.
“They don’t turn to ashes?”
“It’s not difficult, but I will run out of Flame Qi before I can gather again.”
Burning a body needs a high level of qi, which meant he could run out until his body generated it again. And where there were endless enemies, this made no sense.
‘What do we do?’
Chun Woo-myung looked around.
People were getting tired because of the monsters, and they might get bitten at this rate. While looking around, he heard a woman’s scream.
“Kyaak! Don’t come here!”
It was Ko Wang-suk.
She grabbed the rotten corpse’s head, crushed it, and threw the body away at the others.
Thud!
The monsters fell because of the force. Here she was the only one dealing with the rotten corpses with bare hands and was taking them down faster than Hu Bong!
“Kyaak! Don’t come!”
Pak!
Ko Wang-suk grabbed the leg of the monster and swung it like a club.
Puk!
“Kuak!”
“Ack!”
The monster was now her weapon and hit the other monsters. It was as if a giant was beating her enemies.
“Don’t come! You bastards!”
Pak!
“Kuak!”
Contrary to the beginning, her voice was turning harsher.
She was like a tyrant.
Chun Woo-myung had a chill run down.
‘Who would live with her?’
The thought made him terrified, yet he saw how great she was at handling the monsters. It wasn’t something that could be done with only strong internal energy.
‘Ah!’
Chun Woo-myung came up with a good thought.
“Uncle Hu! Wang-suk!”
“Uh?”
“Young Master?”
Then he spoke about his plan to both of them. After hearing the plan, Hu Bong nodded while Wang-suk asked in shock.
“M-me?”
To her, Chun Woo-myung said,
“Yes. You are the only one I have.”
At the words of Chun Woo-myung, her face turned red. She rubbed her cheeks and nodded.
Fire!
And then, as if ready, her body began to heat up! A girl in love with the force of a fiery pit.
“You are handling her well, Young Master.”
Hu Bong praised Chun Woo-myung.
Chun Woo-myung bit his lip.
“We need to live first.”
Could he lose his life on his first trip outside?
On the other hand, only three of the eight rogues were left, and they looked at the monsters with tired faces. And among the monsters, two were their companions.1
“Kuak, how did it end up like...”
“That is why I said to not set foot in here!”
They regretted coming here, and Yun Ja-seo couldn’t say anything to them. It was for their dream to rebuild the clan, but that dream also collapsed.
‘Ahhh…’
It was then.
“Follow us!”
They heard a shout.
Wheik!
Boom!
“Kuak!”
“Kuak!”
Fire came with the screams of the rotten corpses. They saw two gigantic flaming clubs falling on the monsters.
‘T-that!’
It was like a gigantic being showing a miracle—an eye-opening sight.
And they were able to pierce through the path that was made.
“What is this?”
The rogue was flustered. That gigantic being was Hu Bong on Ko Wang-suk’s shoulders.
Hu Bong, on her, was using fire onto the clubs which Ko Wang-suk was wielding.
“Come on! Hehe!”
Hu Bong shouted in excitement.
‘S-so embarrassing!’
Ko Wang-suk was red as a beet at what they were doing. At first, it seemed like a simple plan, but she was dealing with enemies, and Hu Bong would use the flame from above her shoulders to cut off the monster\'s movements for a second. The one in charge of the rear was Chun Woo-myung.
“Hurry!”
At the shout, the puzzled men rushed to him.
They thought they were going to die, but now a path came in front of them.
Wheik! Bang!
“Kuk!”
“Ack!”
A number of monsters were being thrown out. Getting used to it, she too moved a lot more ferociously than before. And the ones behind her admired it. Before long, the monsters had lessened.
“W-with this way, we can leave the mountain!”
“We will live!”
They all cheered, but they saw a black shadow in the forest as they moved. Hu Bong frowned at it. This being looked like a shadow of a person holding a sword.
‘A person?’
He looked closer, but it had a half-rotten face like the monsters they faced.
“Is this the last one?!”
Ko Wang-suk held the flaming club.
Chak!
The body of the blazing creature she was holding as a club was split before she could move. It didn’t end there. The sword, which cut the weapon she was holding, aimed for her neck.
“Huh!”
Hu Bong quickly used his sword and blocked it.
Chang!
“Uh?”
The moment the sword and blade collided…
Bang!
Hu Bong and Ko Wang-suk were thrown back simultaneously, and thanks to that, those who followed them also fell.
“Ack!”
Everyone was on the ground in pain and barely got up.
Hu Bong mumbled.
“Young Master, that monster….”
“… is using martial arts.”
Despite seeing it, Chun Woo-myung couldn’t believe it. Using martial arts wasn’t the problem here. The problem was Hu Bong, who was known to be one of the best, and Ko Wang-suk were thrown easily at the same time.
“This is quite a horrible time.”
Chak!
Chun Woo-myung raised his sword and took the stance of the Sword Force of the Sky Demon. He had to deal with his monster and get out of this place. The monster\'s expression contorted as it looked at the movement of Chun Woo-myung.
‘Why is it doing that?’
It seemed like the monster was angry, and as he was puzzled by it, the monster yelled.
“Grrrrr… Sword Force… of… Sky Demon!”
‘!?’
I guess they killed three of their companions before becoming monsters/zombies.?
