Side Story Episode 128. To fate (3)
The speed of the enemy commander and his subordinates chasing from the rear was amazing.
‘Quick. It’s fast, but… … .’
They are not opponents that can be fooled by speed.
When exchanging attacks and defense face to face, I am confident that I can adjust the distance momentarily during a close fight. Because he has Bukcheonma Hyebo and the eyes and brain to thoroughly analyze the opponent’s reaction.
However, if we were to assume a long-distance speed battle, there was no difference between me and them.
‘It’s fast, but has room to spare.’
That’s the real problem.
Hongo and his subordinates were different from the blood-scented sword troops they had fought before.
I could sense that they were familiar with the chase. Even though it was chasing at speed, it did not follow in a straight line but took left and right directions, showing that it was cautious to prepare for an unexpected situation.
It wasn’t because I was nervous. It moves like that because it was trained that way.
‘There is a high possibility that he is from the Shinto elite combat unit. Especially that hound-like movement… … .’
I’ve never seen it in person, but I’ve heard about it.
He recalled Doheon’s words.
– The New Education Corps is not simply a unit that gathers talented and strong demons. Each unit has its own characteristics. For example, the dark horse unit is good at assassination and special operations, and our light horse unit is closer to a raiding unit that approaches regardless of the terrain and wipes out the enemy in one go. You probably already know this.
– … … .
– If I had to choose the most terrible unit among them, I would say the Blood Horse Unit. They are good at the chase. A hunting dog. Once you catch the target, chase it all the way to the midfield. It was so terrible that it was said that the inauguration ceremony for the new head would be held because the head had not returned for over three years.
– Are there still members of the Blood Demon Corps who withdrew from the Central Plains?
– It only knows the blood horse belt and the upper part. however… … We are sure so. The missions undertaken by the Blood Demons are classified as unfinished missions rather than mission failures unless the person in charge dies.
– … … .
– If the member chasing you dies, other members will be dispatched after the mission fails. However, if you do not die, your case will remain unfinished for between one and three years.
– How many unfinished missions do the Blood Demons have?
– Only thirty-five have been confirmed.
If what Doheon said is true, the former Demons of the Blood Demons are still traveling throughout the central plains, carrying out unfinished missions.
It is unknown whether they are from the Blood Demon Corps. In the first place, the fact that he entered the Blood Demon Corps means that he is the best among the demons of the Protestant religion, so he may not be a Blood Demon Corps.
However, you must approach it with the mindset that you are fighting a unit that is at least the equivalent of a blood horse unit.
‘That’s strange.’
As he ran to the targeted point, Lee Cheon-sang felt a change in himself once again.
It doesn’t matter whether the opponent is a blood demon or not. Such thoughts have no effect on the battle. All you have to do is deal with the opponent in the most efficient way.
Are you joining with the idea of fighting the Blood Demon Corps? Since when did I go into battle thinking these unnecessary thoughts?
Lee Cheon-sang, who had been running for a while, suddenly passed next to a sharp rock larger than a human body.
His left hand glowed reddish.
Quang!
The pile of stones supporting the rock collapsed and the sharp rock fell forward.
Hong Oh’s eyes sparkled.
Kwarung!
The moment the Blood Wind Twin Blades flashed, the rock that had exquisitely blocked the path shattered and shattered.
I swung a hard and sharp knife, but it broke instead of cutting. This was a scene that showed that Hong Oh’s understanding of Qigong was extremely excellent.
When the understanding and concentration of true energy, and even the ability to unleash power, reach their peak, one can demonstrate cutting power similar to that of a master swordsman with a bare hand strike, and with a punch, a penetrating power sharper than that of an awl.
Hongo had reached exactly that level. Regardless of his level of inner strength or magic, he is an expert with a very high level of understanding of martial arts.
bang! Ujikkeun! Fuuuuuuu!
While fleeing, Lee Cheon-sang attempted to block the pursuit of Hong-oh and his men by exploding another rock, a beautiful tree, and river water.
However, Hong-Oh’s reflexes and martial arts, who were chasing Lee Cheon-Sang at the forefront, were extremely excellent, and he was able to bounce off all the falling rocks and large trees that fell down, losing their function as obstacles.
How long did it run like that?
‘There you are.’
I could see an open place in the distance. It was a place where there were no obstacles to movement except for the river water coming down from upstream.
‘If you don’t notice, you will pass. But if you notice… … .’
Lee Cheon-sang has his sights set on it.
Hong Oh’s face gradually became irritated as he chased after Lee Cheon-sang.
‘He’s like a loach. ‘You run really well.’
It feels like I can get caught, but I can’t.
Of course, it’s not that fast that you can’t catch it if you chase after it at full speed, but the problem is that there’s no way to know what kind of trap that guy has set up.
The appearance of the enemy was suspicious to anyone. It seemed to have a secret plan of its own as it openly showed itself and killed the searcher, and ran as if it was telling people to follow.
In particular, Hong-oh, who had a lot of experience in these matters, never let down his guard even though he felt annoyed by Cheon-sang Lee.
When a person falls into a trap, this is usually the moment when they feel reassured that everything will be okay.
The law was the same for any type of trap. So Hong Oh was chasing Lee Cheon-sang by looking to his left and right.
Hwaaaaaaa!
The texture of the wind has changed.
After passing through a forest that was not dense but full of quite a few trees, an open area appeared in the distance.
The fishy smell got worse. The wind was humid, and the sound of the rolling waves became clear.
Hong Oh’s eyes deepened.
‘Is it that place?’
His intuition, which had a lot of experience in pursuit, was telling him. That something will finally come out.
After Hongo sheathed the left sword, he raised his left hand and flicked his index finger and thumb. It was a hand signal instructing the men who were running in a straight line along the forest path to spread out in ten rows and pursue.
Since the place is open, there is no choice but to change the formation to one that is easy to search. In addition, if you are on the chased side and look back at the approaching enemies even once, you can feel much more psychological pressure than pursuing in a row.
Sasasak.
I could hear my men moving behind me.
A wry smile appeared on Hong Oh’s face.

‘No matter what we’ve prepared, we won’t be in trouble… … .’
It was then.
‘what?’
The moment I entered the wide open space, Hongo felt strange.
‘Why the sound?’
The sound of the footsteps of subordinates chasing from the rear.
The sound of those footsteps was quieter than I thought.
It was not easy to determine whether the sound was small or the number of footsteps was small.
‘… … !’
At that moment, Hongo felt a strong premonition running up his spine.
danger signal. The overdeveloped survival instinct that had been present since birth was sounding an alarm.
The problem is that I don’t know what signal it is. I couldn’t tell if I shouldn’t follow the enemy any further, or if I was already in danger.
‘Damn it!’
Whatever the reason, the discomfort I felt toward my subordinates had to be confirmed.
Hongo maintained his speed and looked back.
‘… … !!’
Hong Oh’s eyes widened.
A wide, horizontal line.
We have to run in ten rows, but there are only about twenty people left.
The twenty or so men formed a line, but the people who were supposed to form another line behind them were nowhere to be seen.
‘Where is it all…’ … ?!’
It was then.
Creepy!
Hong Oh finally realized.
What did this discomfort, this danger signal, indicate?
‘I shouldn’t have looked back.’
In a split second, Hong Oh’s eyes caught someone wearing a black military uniform.
As the panicked subordinates glanced at each other and behind them, there was one man in black who was not particularly embarrassed.
And the man in black was pretending to throw the dagger he was holding in his hand.
Hongo shouted without realizing it.
“Avoid!”
Flash!
A black dagger shot out like a thunderbolt, piercing the back of the neck of one of the subordinates who had formed a horizontal line, and flew straight at Hong Oh.
Even in a moment of embarrassment, Hongo could tell that the dagger targeting him was a rare new recruit in the world.
Chaaaang!
He turned briefly, drew out his left sword, and crossed his blades to block the dagger.
Kaaaaang! Pabababak!
Heukyeongbi, which hit the Blood Wind Twin Sword, bounced high into the air.
Quaaaang!
The echoing sound of the explosion was truly vivid.
It was the sound of the game being chased turning into a hunting dog and attacking its back.
Hongo shouted.
“Kill the enemies!”
Paaang!
Hongo immediately turned around and swung his twin swords at the attacking enemy.
At that time, Hongo realized once again.
That he made a mistake.
What the enemy wanted, who he thought was a hunting dog and was attacking him, was not him.
Wow!
Lee Cheon-sang, who flew high in the sky, caught the bouncing black spirit and threw it back to Yu I-sang, the man in black.
Crump! Percussion!
Yu Yi-sang, who killed one of Hong Oh’s subordinates by breaking his neck, exquisitely received the black spirit and stabbed the heart of the demon next to him.
Two enemies defeated in an instant.
Yu Isang shouted.
“What are you going to do!”
“debacle.”
“Good!”
Yu I-sang moved like a ghost to the left side of the line, and Lee Cheon-sang, who jumped through the air, rushed to the right side of the line and began sweeping away the demons.
Puff poop! Suddenly!
What a bloody sound.
Even though they were not embarrassed by most things, they could not help but be embarrassed by the fierce attacks that these two attackers used.
In an instant, the lives of seven demons were lost. There were only four Mines who, although not dead, were incapable of combat.
In an instant, half of the row collapsed. Lee Cheon-sang and Yu I-sang’s attack was quick, concise, powerful, and fatal.
Hong Oh’s face distorted.
Finally he realized. When I chased after that blunt enemy, I had already fallen into a trap.
The forest path was isolated and their group was moving in single file. At that time, one of the assassins in the rear was already quietly and surely chasing after him, killing his men and burying them in the ground.
The men who were concentrating on running to the left and right of the front to see if there were any other traps were killed one by one without knowing what was happening behind them. The number of subordinates killed in this way was thirty.
‘crazy!’
The reason why his sixth sense, his instinct, was constantly sounding the alarm was not because there was a trap set up around him, but because he had already fallen into the trap.
Murder bloomed in Hong Oh’s eyes.
“You bastards!”
Paaaaang!
Hongo rushed towards Yu Isang at once and swung his twin swords.
“Yikes!”
Yu Isang, who was rushing to kill another demon, retreated in an instant with a phantom-like divine law.
It is difficult to win in a head-to-head match, but when it comes to new techniques and surprise attacks, Yu Isang is one step ahead. Considering what kind of unit the Black Devils were in the first place and why the unit’s leader recognized Yu Isang as a genius, there was no way Hongo’s surprise attack would work.
However, Yu Isang was also not easily approached. He shouted again.
“The captain is here!”
“Deal with your subordinates.”
“This guy won’t fall!”
hook!
Before I knew it, Lee Cheon-sang, who had smashed the sternum of a demon, approached Hong-oh with Bukcheon Demon Hyebo.
Lee Cheon-sang’s calm voice penetrated Hong-oh’s ears.
“Your enemy is me.”
“this guy!”
Bababababaak!
The swirling twin swords make the blood rush out of Lee Cheon-sang’s body, and Hong-oh’s breath is caught by the heavy pressure of the recommendation.
A battle that quickly became dizzying. The outpouring of screams and blood began to turn the once beautiful vacant lot into hell.
