First of all, I told him to close the guest room door. Because there may be an unexpected attack.

As I watched the servants and Jeomsoy coming out with their weapons, I turned my eyes to Sayun.

“Are you okay after getting hit earlier?”

“Yes. Sure. I can fight more.”

The sight of the little girl with her fists clenched was truly reassuring. I nodded to her and unfolded the map of Seomhwachon Village.

“There are government soldiers at the government office, so there won’t be any problem… The first place I should go is the village chief of Seomhwa Village. Since this road is connected to the road coming from outside, it will be easy to understand the enemy’s movements.”

I thought of the nice old village chief. Although he doesn’t know much about martial arts, he is wise and uses an easy tone to resolve disputes within the village. If he dies, there may be chaos within Seomhwa Village.

After making that decision, I headed towards the village chief’s house with Sayun. As I went, I saw several injured soldiers. As they gathered them up, left them to the frightened villagers, and continued moving, Sayun, who had been silent, pursed her lips.

“Who are they?”

“Well…”

There are too many possibilities.

The first is, of course, the Iron Blood Order’s masterpiece.

Hong Seong-mun made Seomhwachon his territory and lent them his name.

But Seomhwachon takes a big hit and falls into chaos?

From Hong Seong-moon’s perspective, it would be like tarnishing the honor he cherishes so much.

In that case, in order to restore his honor, he would send his disciples down and tell them to guard Seomhwachon for a while.

And in the process, the number of people who can protect Hongseongmun will decrease, so you will be able to target each faction.

second.

This can be thought of as the Demon Beast King’s attack as one of the regular events.

The Demon Beast King is one of the corrupted good men who can control monsters and at the same time tries to cause chaos in the empire by using the demons who have succumbed to money and power.

For half of the time I was absent from Heavenly Moon, I used this attack as an event. So the gallery went so far as to call this guy the king of tricks.

By the way, the Demon Beast King existed before the Iron Blood Legion, and he had been consistently vicious even before that, so he couldn’t be sure that this attack wasn’t the Demon Beast King’s attack.

The third is the aftermath of the Demonic Cult’s invasion of the empire.

When something happened in Moorim, I felt comfortable knowing that half of the stake was in the Demonic Cult.

There are people who use evil magic and control monsters, and they also try to cause confusion by using magic spells.

The area receiving the confusion is generally the territory of the world’s powerful people.

In addition, considering the movements of Sapa and other regular events that have occurred since ancient times, it was impossible to pinpoint whose work it was.

…

Should we just say it was Sangvis’s doing?

“Well. What does it matter who you are?”

Kuuk. Sayun held the sword tightly.

haha. This guy. ha ha ha.

Sayoon, who spoke while looking ahead with proud eyes, took a step in front of me with a stern expression on his face.

On the way to the village chief’s house, a guy wearing the same black clothes as before ran into us as he was heading towards the village chief’s house.

“…I can hear the sound of metal. It seems like the sisters are protecting the village chief. Let’s hurry and defeat that guy.”

” That’s how it should be.”

The person in black who saw me and Sayoon also seemed to quickly grasp the situation.

He raised his sword and growled at us.

“…Tsk. Looks like a stupid guy got hit.”

“Sure. You idiot.”

I immediately threw a stone.

Sayoon ran quickly, taking advantage of the opportunity to bounce back after being hit by his sword.

Seongryubo.

The man in black widened his eyes as if he was quite surprised by the strange footsteps that resembled the movement of stars.

-Chaeng! visor! visor!!

Three times in an instant, sword and sword collide. Even though there were attacks so strong that sparks flew, neither the man in black nor Sayoon showed any significant change in their expressions.

Is this just a level of check?

“Sweetheart…!!”

It was a voice filled with murderous intent. The dagger in his right hand is aimed at Sayun’s neck. When I twisted my body to avoid it, I threw the stone at him again.

-Suddenly!!

The outstretched foot tries to kick Sayun and kicks the stone aimed at his head. Sayun took a step back to take advantage of the opportunity, noticed a few strands of her hair falling in the air, and quietly placed her sword in the middle.

“…Memorization.”

“You wouldn’t call it cowardly, right?”

The sharp blade sticking out of the front of his right leather shoe enters the mugwort. Sayoon, who glanced at that, slowly took a deep breath and calmed down.

“You don’t seem to have much practical experience. My body is stiff. Is it because you never know where the memorization will come from? Hehe. young. young. Drink more of mom’s milk.”

“My mother is not here.”

“…Tsk.”

Sayoon was not excited by the pad lip. oh my god. Padrip immunity.

The man in black seemed taken aback for a moment, as if he didn’t know that his provocation would be blocked like this.

But I guess he didn’t think about stepping down out of regret for Padrip.

Because it just approached slowly, as if dragging the floor.

Then, he moves, licking his lips and smiling like a snake that has seen its prey.

A body that slides and swings from side to side. A dagger quickly aimed at the leash.

It was a black sabotage.

It is one of the favorite walking techniques used in Sapa and is easy to attack from both the left and right sides, but is weak against attacks coming from above.

He seems to have thought that since Sayun was shorter than him, he wouldn’t be able to attack from above.

“No?!”

Sayoon, maintaining her nervous expression, leapt lightly at the last minute. When the guy opened his eyes wide in surprise at her jumping to an adult height.

Sayoon spun around in the air and kicked his head.

A leap using Seongryubo, and a combo of Cheon Seong-gak!

Hey! I learned it well!!

That’s a combo that also appears in the tutorial.

After casting Cheonseongak as neatly as a picture, Sayun extended her sword towards the guy who was about to fall forward. The sharp tip of the sword shakes slightly.

Still, he didn’t seem to be shaken by being hit, as he wasn’t easy either. He quickly turned around and threw the dagger.

-Sure!!

Sayoon avoided it by simply twisting his head slightly. However, it wasn’t completely avoided…

What the heck!!?

You can’t believe you’re scarring that white face!!

-Fuuuk!!

Even though he had a sword stuck in his neck in return, he still couldn’t hold back his anger.

When I slightly twist the sword stuck in his neck and pull it out, a fountain of blood bursts out.

Sayoon, who stepped back and avoided it, took a deep breath and smiled faintly at me.

“I won. Let’s go!”

“Wound on face…”

“Huh? ah. This is okay.”

“It’s okay.”

I took out a handkerchief from my pocket. And Geumchang Yakdo.

“Ugh?! Is it really okay?! Isn’t that the golden pill? It’s expensive!”

“It’s not a waste of money.”

“…Uh. Yes.”

When I opened the box of Geumchang medicine, the medicine inside was revealed along with a spicy scent. Sayoon’s eyes widened when she saw the luxurious box.

It was worth it. Because this is really expensive.

It is a highly effective Geumchang medicine made by Shinui and costs only one nyang per bottle.

“Now. Just stay still.”

“I can apply it myself.”

“There is no yearning.”

“Ahaha…”

Sayoon smiled awkwardly and closed her eyes tightly. Is it because my eyelashes are so long? Even though she had closed her eyes, her eyelashes were sticking out delicately, giving her a beauty that was not appropriate for her age.

But does it matter now!

Sayoon has a scar on her face!

“You shouldn’t get a bad look…”

“For an unmanned person, a wound like this is a medal…”

“Take away that medal. ruler. That’s it.”

The good news is that the wound is not that deep. If you apply Geumchang medicine consistently, you will be fine.

I placed the remaining Geumchang medicine on Sayun’s small hand.

“?”

“It’s already been used once so you can’t sell it again, so it’s better for you to keep it than for me. Because you will fight more than me.”

The Geumchang medicine in the box can be used about ten times. Even considering the future fight with the Iron Bloods and other unexpected events, it would be better to give it to them this way.

I have a few more at the store. You can order more if necessary.

Sayoon thought for a moment, hesitated, then lowered her head.

“Thank you.”

“What. It also saved my life. It was the same at the guesthouse earlier.”

I pointed at the fallen guy.

“That guy is like that too.”

“Hehe… Ah. yes. I can’t wait to go!”

“Before that, just a moment. Let’s search that man’s arms.”

“Yes? Yes.”

Is it the Iron Blood Order, the Demon Beast King, or the Demon Cult?

Either that or he’s just a bastard.

I thought if I searched my arms, I might find something.

But still. There was nothing to prove my identity like the guy I met at the guesthouse.

“It’s a shame.”

“That’s right. ruler. Let’s go.”

The sound of metal is getting stronger, so it looks like a battle is taking place on the other side.

I ran with Sayun towards the village chief’s house, and there we found Yuhee fighting with four men in black.

“Sister’s residence!!”

The stone I threw, and Sayoon jumping out.

It was enough to make the faces of the people in black who were attacking Yoo Hee in a series of attacks become distorted.

“You guest drinker!!”

The village chief, who was shivering behind him, shouted urgently. I quickly headed to his side, and Yu-hee, perhaps relieved, started stroking the head of Sayun, who had broken Yeon Hwan-jin from the outside and came to his side.

“Oh my. Pretty thing. You came just when I needed it?! This is why I like my youngest!”

“Ehehe…”

“Now. Then shall we give it a try?”

When people who have learned the same martial arts fight against each other, the synergy becomes stronger. This is especially true for Hong Seong-moon’s students, who live like sisters, sharing room and board and practicing almost every day.

“Haaaa!!”

“Yap!!”

The girls’ movements were fast and sharp. Like the starlight that illuminates the wide, dark night sky, they dodged the attacks of the people in black and began to counterattack.

“Woman, of course Hong Seong-moon!”

Is it because he died and came back to life? The village chief clenched his fists and shouted.

“Kill him! Tear it down! Just show them that there is no future for them…”

“The kids are listening to this. Please refrain from saying harsh things.”

“Keuhm.”

Only then did the village chief clear his throat and hold me tightly.

“By the way, guest janju Yu. What are they?”

“Me too… What didn’t you say when you were about to attack the village chief?”

“Not really… You just said you should go together?”

This is true.

In the end, should we catch one person and torture him?

At that time, Yugi’s sword blew off the arm of Hana, the woman in black. Then, taking advantage of the opportunity when the enemy’s passing line was weakened, Sayun jumped on Yuhee’s shoulder and kicked him in the head with Cheonseongak.

While he groans as he rolls around on the floor, light shines from Yuhee’s sword.

Black energy.

It looks like they are trying to use Chosik in the latter part of Hongseong Shingong.

“Inhale!!”

What was shot out with low energy was starlight.

The power of destruction contained in the star destroys everything that blocks it and advances to its destination.

Star soul sword.

The soul of destruction contained in the starlight destroyed the sword of the man in black and even destroyed his heart in one blow.

“Gagging…”

Two people fell. That alone was enough to turn the tide.

“Holy shit.”

“You didn’t say it was to this extent…”

He hesitated.

Perhaps realizing that they are at a disadvantage, they begin to retreat.

“Damn… Why isn’t support coming…!”

support?

There’s more support?

When darkness begins to appear on Sayun and Yuhee’s pretty faces.

I asked the people in black.

“Support?”

“….”

“If you answer, I will save your life.”

“…he, he. excuse me. Actually, we came here upon request…”

request?

who?

As I looked, one of the men in black gritted his teeth and spoke.

“Damn it! I didn’t want to receive a request like this from the beginning! That person is so filthy…”

-Hook!!

Something long jumped out from the chest of the man in black who was about to shout.

It was a blade.

The man in black, who was looking down at it in disbelief, collapsed, and just as the person next to him was about to scream, a sharp blade protruded from his neck.

I, Sayun, and Yuhui looked in that direction.

“…Oh my.”

It was a woman wearing the same black clothes as the ones we had seen so far.

The woman was grinning while holding several long blades like the ones that killed them with one blow.

The momentum was different.

Just by walking, my whole body is emitting a tingling, deadly energy.

This.

I can’t win.

I froze.

I took a quick look and saw that the village chief couldn’t withstand the force and fainted, Sayun was clenching her teeth so hard that blood came out, and Yuhui’s eyes were wide open.

like that. Someone who made us all nervous just by appearing was approaching.

-Ttogak. Again.

There is power in each step you take.

sharp nose,

Black eye makeup.

Blood-red lips.

Black hair that goes down to the waist.

and.

-Ugh…!!

A black energy hovering over her body.

It was a demonic spirit, a symbol of the demonic cult.

In this critical situation, my mind was spinning rapidly, calculating the openings through which I would survive.

Anyway, I’m glad. Because I didn’t say it was the Iron Blood Order. I would have been embarrassed if I had done that…

“…Who are you?”

“Nothing to know…there. Men?”

It was a gesture filled with bewitchment. Lightly moving her sharp iron-clad hand, she twisted her red lips into a smile.

beautiful.

But it is that dangerous.

Eyes filled with darkness like an abyss were fixed on me. I glanced away and pretended not to see it, but as expected, it didn’t work.

“Don’t pretend not to know. ruler. You should come with me. If you refuse… you know? I’ll cut off at least one arm. Don’t make other kids die for no reason.”

Holy shit.

I can’t help it.

Now is the time for me to step in and take some time.

If we somehow hold out and pass the time through conversation, Chae-jin will come, and then we can survive.

I came up with 100 stories that demons would like to hear and then stepped forward.

“Guest guest?!”

“Stay behind!”

Guys.

I will be better at wasting time against the demon cultists.

“I’ll do my best to occupy the time, so go and bring me a vegetable picker.”

“Oh my? Was Moonlight Island here? Then I guess I should go quickly too? Do you think we’ll have time to talk or something?”

“Before that. I don’t know for what purpose you’re taking me and the village chief. There are a few stories that any magician will definitely find interesting. How about listening to that and deciding my worth?”

“Hmm?”

“You don’t seem so stupid that you don’t know how much value a single word has, right?”

Anyway, what should we talk about?

The location of Sima Jun, a former Demon Cult soldier who stole the Demon Cult’s sacred items and ran away?

Or the location of the other half of the half Heavenly Demon God?

Or is it the location of the Temple of the Forgotten Demon God?

A secret passage to the Demonic Cult?

Otherwise…

no way. I don’t know. Let’s talk about anything and take the time first.

“Ahaha. I always like a confident man like you.”

With a dangerous yet beautiful smile, she blinked one eye and licked her lips.

“I wish I could be confident even if an arm was cut off…”

– Quaaa!!

What?

Where has the person I was talking to just now gone?

Or rather, I wondered if this was something that could come from a person.

Like being hit by an angry, charging cow. When I saw a woman who was standing leisurely being thrown away with a loud sound, rolling around on the floor and moaning.

“There were some crazy people wandering around outside Seomhwachon, so I wondered what was going on… It was a good thing I took them out quickly and came running.”

The person who swung his greatsword and sent her flying away lightly stuck the large greatsword into the ground.

Then, she swept up her hair, as red as blood and as bright as a rose, tied it tightly with an old leather strap, and looked at us.

“Yu’s guests. I’m not too late, right?”

A woman who reassured us when we were nervous with just one wonderful smile.

Hong Seong-moon’s great disciple.

It was Hongryeon.
