Episode 60: Desert Island Survival Training (7)
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
The man in the lead suddenly clapped his hands, and the applause echoed unpleasantly. Then he scratched his temple and opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.
“Kid, what are you? Even though I threw it gently, it wasn’t something that could be easily dodged. What, are you also a hired hand who has gone undercover?”
I frowned deeply at the sight of his serpentine tongue flickering strangely. Then the man burst into a raspy laugh. Then he immediately turned to the leader next to him, Ray Shen.
“Captain, that kid is no ordinary kid. How can a kid make that kind of face in this situation? He’s funny, that kid. Captain, what do you think about scouting him?”
“… … .”
Ray Sean didn’t respond to his words, her arms folded. Then she immediately focused her cold gaze on me. Her eyes narrowed as if she was assessing me.
A woman with a striking appearance among the men. She may look like a noblewoman, but her true nature is that of a bloody assassin.
‘Lay-sion.’
At the time of her play, she was not human. Humans who gained the ability to control magical powers through direct contracts with legion commanders were called ‘villains’ in the world.
They did not have much of a role until the first half of the story, but in the second half, they became the henchmen of the legion commanders and were the first to threaten humanity.
I opened my eyes wide and looked at her. She was in a completely different state than when I first met her during the ‘Miracle of Protection M’ playthrough.
The expressionless face made my skin tingle with the murderous intent that was clearly being sprayed, but it was definitely human. It seemed like it was still before he had fallen into villainy.
‘Well, the first time we met was probably around the end of Leon’s third year.’
Ray Sean must have sensed my gaze as he spat out monosyllables that were eerily poisonous. Yet, I felt a sense of discomfort in his noble eyes.
“… Where do you belong?”
“… … .”
What the fuck are you talking about?
It was shocking that the Undertakers suddenly attacked me, and then they immediately questioned me about my affiliation.
The summer heat can make you feel uncomfortable, but when your head gets caught up in emotions, it tends to invite mistakes.
In this situation, momentary excitement can lead to your own destruction, so you must regain your senses as quickly as possible.
I tried hard to suppress my emotions and began to quietly swallow my breath. Soon, my reddened mind quickly cooled down.
I rolled my eyes and scanned the enemies to assess their strength. There were seven enemies I could see, but my intuition told me there were probably two or three hiding.
‘About ten people.’
In the meantime, the snake-like man smiled faintly and moved his mouth.
“Hey, you punk. You’re not dead yet, but you think you’re amazing, right?! Isn’t this the first time the captain has taken an interest in prey? Right, vice captain?”
As if seeking sympathy, the bastard poked the side of the man called the vice-captain. The vice-captain let out a short sigh and nodded.
“Certainly, judging from his movements, he’s not ordinary. I thought he was just a kid, even though he was the top student this year, but he’s at a level where he could jump right into this industry. And that guy dodged all of Parik’s attacks while carrying his bag. Well… he didn’t dodge perfectly, though.”
The vice-captain laughed at me with a crooked smile. Then, the hazy emotions that had been rising like smoke suddenly subsided, and something eerie began to run through every corner of my blood vessels.
A feeling as if your consciousness and heart are stopping. A paralyzing sensation that starts with an overwhelming sense of helplessness that is overwhelming you infinitely, and suddenly engulfs your entire body from your fingertips.
‘This feeling… … .’
A dull ache as if the back of my head had been struck. It was similar to the inexplicable elation I felt during my duel with Knox.
With the intoxication that enveloped me, coupled with the rising blood temperature, I soon threw the bag I was carrying on the ground and spoke.
“Body disposal team, judging by the fact that you guys came, the one who ordered this must have been at least a senior level.”
Then, the faces of the Undertakers are crumpled without any reason.
In fact, it was just a random remark made after gathering information from the past, but judging by the reaction, it seemed to have been accepted. The deputy chief, who had a particularly fierce expression, immediately became angry.
“You little shit, where the hell are you from?! How dare you investigate us!”
“stop.”
Before the vice-captain could finish speaking, Captain Ray Shen cut him off. Then, he twisted his mouth loudly, spit out a curse, and clicked his tongue. Ray Shen looked at me and asked coldly.
“It seems like you know something about us.”
“That they are just a bunch of bastards who kill people for money?”
A tone full of provocation. A faint dryness seeped into her eyes.
“That crazy kid. The thing the captain hates the most.”
The expressions of the members, including the vice-captain, gradually turned into confusion. I know Ray Shen’s disposition well.
As the story progresses, it is revealed that she was originally born into a high-ranking noble family.
He was driven out of his family due to the betrayal of his relatives, and due to his sense of betrayal and resentment towards the nobles, he eventually chose the life of a contract killer.
That resentment grows with each passing day, and he eventually sells his soul to the commander of the legion, becomes a villain, and is an unfortunate character who is defeated by Leon…
However, I did not feel any sympathy for her who chose an inhumane life.
Where in the world is there a person without a story? To begin with, it is not normal to choose murder because there is a flaw in the environment.
If you look at it that way, my family was torn apart in my past life because of my father’s debt guarantee.
First, I lived a straight life, slicing fish, not a derailment. I even rejected the temptations of the underworld that offered me a lot of money.
‘But when I think about it, I was such a pitiful kid too… … ?’
Hey, that guy, he’s way more than a hitman.
“… … .”
Ray Sean was staring at me with his ringed eyes wide open.
I went out of my way to tease her to break her composure, and judging by her reaction, it seemed to have worked.
They may be human, but they are professional killers. Not only that, I have not even drawn my weapons yet, so I have to take advantage of the enemy’s gaps.
I added with a low laugh.
“Why, you don’t want to hear people call you a human barbarian just because you’re from a noble family?”
Ray Shen’s pupils trembled more than before, and the vice-captain among them ran towards them, shouting as if he was about to have a seizure. His fingers were covered in bloody knuckles.
“이 개새끼가!”
The vice-captain flies his body with a sharp sound. His face is filled with nothing but anger and murderous intent. The members all stiffen at the vice-captain’s sudden action.
‘It’s now.’
I deliberately scratched Ray-Sun’s insides for this moment. It was a moment that could change the situation of one-on-many. As I took out the sashimi from my bosom, the vice-captain came up to my nose, cursing at me.
“Get behind!”
A heavy knuckle aimed for my face, and I quickly flicked my wrist to expose the blade. Meanwhile, a vicious regime filled my retina.
Slurp-
A brief slash and a flash of light slid past the vice-captain’s neck. The positions where the vice-captain and I were standing intersected.
The vice-captain pursed his lips a few times and then ran his fingers along his neck.
“What, what?”
An elaborate scarlet bruise appeared on the neck, and then the head fell off with a thud.
The vice-captain’s pupils, which were gradually emptying as they rolled on the floor, stopped and turned towards the members.
“… … !”
“What is this!”
“What the hell, Vice-Captain!”
The screams and cries of the members burst out belatedly.
They looked back and forth between me and the vice-captain several times with blank eyes, as if they didn’t understand the situation.
A thrill that was hard to describe in words filled my heart. It was my first time directly cutting a person.
“after,”
This strangely rising sensation wasn’t so bad. Rather, it felt like pleasure was covering my body.
I took a deep breath and ran my hand through my hair. Only then did I hear a familiar woman’s voice ring in my ear.
[The protection of the Sword God is manifested.]
The Undertakers looked at me in a panic and pulled out various weapons and aimed them. Ray Sean stood there for a moment, dumbfounded. Then he pulled out two knives from his holster.
“That little kid, get kicked!”
“shit!”
Those guys were screaming out curses. Droplets of saliva were flying everywhere from between their yellow teeth. I took a step toward them.
++++++++++++++++++++++
《May God bless you.》
++++++++++++++++++++++
The 50 seconds to swing the sashimi were already running out.
* * *
Kwajik-!
An eerie sound of flesh and blood echoed, and another head fell off.
“Kkaaaaaaah!”
“Oh, shit! What the hell is this kid doing!”
The members were swearing in a panic. Even in the midst of all this, the nimble blade swept through their bodies at a speed that made it impossible for them to react.
“Hey, where is this kid⏤”
Thud. Thud.
The bodies of the sturdy men were cut to pieces, as helpless as tofu. Parik shouted, his neck bloodshot.
“Hey, kids! Get your mind right! Your opponent is just a kid, stab them all at once!”
At those words, the members instantly reorganized their formation and launched a combined attack on Kanggeomma. A number of sharp skewers rushed towards Kanggeomma.
But Kang Geum-ma seemed to have expected it, and he dodged it by leaning his waist back and using the elasticity of his knees.
“crazy!”
A merciless attack that pierces the air. The empty gazes capture the movements of the strong sword horse in their pupils.
Whirlyrick.
Kanggeomma swung his arms while holding the sashimi in that position.
Sigh!
A burning sensation ran down their arms, and then the hands holding their weapons were cut off one after another.
“Ugh, ugh, shit! It hurts, it hurts!”
“You little rat, come and find me!”
One of the dogs swung a knife with his remaining arm.
The swordsman displayed his strength and instantly straightened his back, twisting and pushing the sashimi.
The blade that had dug into the ulna came out through the back of the neck.
“Ugh!”
The unit let out a single groan, then fell to the side helplessly as Kanggeomma pulled out the sashimi. At that moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on their former comrades.
Sasa Sak.
The blood-soaked blade swept through the remaining members’ cries like a wave.
It was a death that could not be seen with the eyes. Their necks rolled naturally on the floor.
Bloody— Bloody— Bloody—
Arrows flying from far away, behind.
Kanggeomma, who sensed the presence, tilted his head back slightly and looked away without looking back.
Immediately, Kanggeomma’s eyes caught the archers among the trees. When they met his cold gaze, their pupils opened wide as if they were lanterns.
“What the—”
Only then did they try to avoid the blow. At the same time, there was a swoosh-like sound of air being cut, and the sashimi flew in a straight line, striking the vital points one after another.
The three archers writhed in convulsions and fell down the tree, breaking their necks.
The Undertakers were speechless. What the hell was going on? They had become accustomed to the pungent smell of blood, but this was their first time facing such an opponent.
The target they had assumed to be prey was actually the one who was being hunted mercilessly.
And the opponent is a cadet.
I thought it was a request that I could receive for free, beyond convenience, but in less than 10 seconds, how many necks did that idiot lose to sashimi?
The moment the members of the unit scattered in the aftermath of the shock, Kanggeomma flew straight ahead.
Ta-da-da-dak!
Before I could even take a hasty step back, the cool sensation of iron struck me.
Thud-thud-thud.
““““Ewwwwwwww!”””
There was a sound of something snapping, and the screams that had been echoing like background noise died down.
The only remaining members are Parik and Ray Sean.
“All right, Captain!”
Parik called out to Ray Shen in a voice filled with fear. A colorful, new scream escaped from between his forked tongue.
Ray Sean just stood there blankly, thinking, oppressed by an indescribable sense of oppression.
You want me to kill that thing? Thinking about it again, that wasn’t human work.
No matter what adjectives you use to describe that kid – monster, ghost – they’re not enough.
It was a feat. Not only the movements, but also the swordsmanship that dug in without resistance was a magical skill that made one lose sense of reality.
Thud, thud.
In the meantime, Kang Geum-ma approaches, holding sashimi in his hand. Parik, who is breathing heavily and shaking his shoulders, has a seizure.
“오, 오지 마, 개새끼야! 씨발, 회칼로 사람 써는 백정 새―!”
Crunch!
