Episode 179
Destiny (4)
The magician’s eyes widened.
‘arrow?’
I don’t know if it’s an arrow or something.
What’s important is that his forearm was blown off, and what hit his forearm went right through his thigh.
“Aaaah!”
The magician screamed in pain and fell down.
Pasaruk’s eyes wavered.
“what!”
At that time, as many as a dozen flashes of light flashed.
Burbubbubbuk!
The beam of light that was fired precisely pierced between the eyebrows of the magic enemies standing around the hostage.
Pasaruk’s eyes flashed as he turned his head.
‘excuse me!’
It is a hillside that is 150 feet away from here in a straight line. The arrows fired from there were aimed precisely at his subordinates.
“What kind of manipulation is this…!”
Flash!
Another flash of light flashed.
What that flash was aiming for was Pasaruk. It was a much faster and sharper blow than before.
Pasaruk instinctively raised his hand and struck.
pop!
The arrow struck by the burst of tension grazed Pasaruk’s cheek.
Grumbling.
Blood flowed from Pasaruk’s cheek. Although the direction was broken, the power did not die.
‘strong!’
A heavy impact remained in the hand that struck the arrow.
It was unimaginable that an arrow could be loaded with this much force. It was a skill that was not inferior to his own.
Pasaruk shouted.
“Kill all the hostages!”
Mo Yong-woo shouted.
“charge!”
Rumbling!
The two hundred warhorses in the lead began to charge.
The remaining two hundred warhorses lined up behind him did not move. Instead, the Tangma soldiers on top of him rushed at him with agility.
It was an offensive centered around the leading cavalry, with the addition of infantry capable of flexible combat. It was a tactic of a combat unit composed of outstanding martial artists capable of quick combat based on excellent martial arts skills.
“Wow!”
Behind the dead magic bandits, other magic bandits approached and swung their swords at the hostages.
Burbubbubbuk!
Before the swords even touched the hostages’ bodies, the magicians fell, spouting blood.
It was truly a series of divine techniques. Even if I could see the situation here accurately from such a distance, it was just amazing how they were able to use the archery skills of a hundred people.
‘Holy shit!’
I had no idea that the hidden weapon was such a high-level archer.
‘It wasn’t a diversionary operation, it was just a bold move to trust that archer?!’
It was my first time. I failed to read my opponent’s hand properly.
Pasaruk shouted.
“Leave the hostages alone! “Get to the rear!”
Hee hee hee!
At that moment, a warhorse let out a roar like that of a dragon.
The one who ran ahead of any horsemen or infantrymen was Mo Yong-woo. Mo Yong-woo rushed towards the front of Pasaruk.
Pasaruk’s blue eyes radiated flames. There was a clear sense of embarrassment in those eyes.
Mo Yong-woo said coldly.
“They said they would definitely kill you.”
Tangma (蕩魔).
These are words spoken directly by the leader of an army that eradicates demons. That bloody voice sent chills down Pasaruk’s spine.
“Don’t think about dying in peace.”
Flash!
The sword power coming in like a wave was so vicious that it seemed as if it would split the Pasaruk in an instant.
A red glow appeared on Pasaruk’s fist.
Quang!
Surprise appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s face.
“Didn’t I underestimate him too much when he said he was the leader of a bandit group?”
Pasaruk holds out his log-like arms with a strong thrust.
The dark red energy creeping up from his whole body looked very strange.
Although the energy was different, the power contained in the single hand was enormous. It was enough to push back not only Mo Yong-woo but also the war horse that Mo Yong-woo was riding.
“Consider yourself lucky, kid.”
grasp!
Pasaruk threw himself away.
It was a very agile new technique that did not suit its enormous size. It crossed the outer edge of the top in one go, and it felt like it was flying.
Pasaruk shouted.
“What are they doing! Tear down the north wall! “Go to the mountain path!”
It was then.
Paaaaaaaa!
Pasaruk felt the surroundings becoming dark. A shadow followed him all the way to his back.
“I would have said it clearly.”
Mo Yong-woo jumped off his war horse and caught up with Pasaruk in an instant, raising his greatsword high.
“You will die here.”
“You little brat!”
Flash! Quang!
The two people bounced off in different directions.
The magic enemies that hit Pasaruk’s body fell down. Mo Yong-woo, who was buried in the wall of the building, quickly escaped and rushed.
At that moment, the hostages appeared in his eyes. Their faces, n.a.k.e.d and trembling, were extremely pale.
‘I will protect you.’
Clap! Clap!
Mo Yong-wu took off his shoulder armor and helmet, took off his long cloth, and threw it at the women. A long gun filled with magic fluttered and fell in front of the women.
‘Director Mook will protect them.’
They were told not to fire arrows until a signal was given. In other words, staying silent is disobeying your superior’s orders.
But Mo Yong-woo had no intention of catching her.
It was a truly close situation. They came forward without a plan and a melee broke out, but thanks to that, the hostage survived, so they should be thankful.
Now all that’s left is the fight.
bang!
Mo Yong-woo, who took a strong step forward, threw a powerful punch.
Pasaruk’s eyes sparkled.
Fuuuuuuu!
One of the magic enemies fell, vomiting blood due to the strong tension. Pasaruk threw his men and used them as shields.
It was an incredible thing, but Mo Yong-woo was not surprised. He is a crazy man who killed an innocent woman by decapitating her alive. It is not surprising that any atrocities are committed.
Pabababak!
Pasaruk ground his teeth.
Mo Yong-woo’s movements, which narrowed the distance with his magical walking technique, were exquisite, even if they were not realistic. It was a miraculous move that completely blocked the possibility of slipping backwards or to the left or right.
I guess we have no choice but to clash now. And if possible, it is right to end it quickly.
Kugugoogung.
Dark red energy surged from Pasaruk’s body again. This is a performance of Sumireok Bulgong (須彌逆佛功), which is the festival of Seojang Soroeumsa Temple.
And against him.
Mo Yong-woo also unleashed the powerful sword power of the strongest sword technique, Geongonbaekpalgeomhae (乾坤百八劍解).
The swords of the two men collided head-on.
Blah blah blah!
When the rough competition between the leaders began, all of Tangma’s army broke down the outer tier and entered.
Whoa! Pow!
One by one, the magic enemies fell, vomiting blood.
It was a melee situation. It might have been different if they had all come together as one, but in this situation, Tangma’s army, which had high individual strength, had no choice but to have an advantage.
But the Corridor was not easy either.
Whoa whoa!
“Oops!”
One soldier collapsed, vomiting blood. His chest was pierced by an exquisitely thrown javelin.
It was the first casualty of Tangma’s army. They said it was inevitable that casualties would occur during missions, but it was too early.
One of the magic bandits shouted.
“Unite! “These guys are a ragtag bunch!”
“Wow!”
Magic bandits are simple. Although they are a hundred warriors who have gained experience by crossing all kinds of lines of fire, their essence is ultimately nothing more than magic bandits.
That’s why it’s scarier.
The momentum of the corridor group completely changed when they heard that the opponent was a ragtag group. Their simplicity was as much an advantage as peak martial arts in this situation.
Kwaaaaang!
It was an amazing sight.
Large demonic enemies rushed in, breaking the outer wall at the top and pushing back the horsemen with body blows.
Their power, which included innate divine power and mastered martial arts other than Sae, was unparalleled. It is often said that the strength of horsemen is ten times that of infantry, but such games of numbers were meaningless in front of them.
“Kill! “Kill it!”
“Kaaaaak!”
The Corridor Corps, which had been pushed back at first, now gradually began to mount a convincing fight against Tang Ma’s army.
No, on the contrary, it was gradually overwhelming.
Pow! Whoa! Bye!
About a dozen of Tangma’s cavalry fell on the spot.
Suddenly! Sigh! Sigh!
The head of the fallen horseman is cut off and spears are driven into the bodies of the soldiers riding on it.
Even if I want to move, I can’t move properly. Although all of the Tangma Army were quite famous in the Gangho, they had never experienced a group-on-group fight like this.
Without training and experience, one cannot utilize even half of one’s outstanding martial arts skills.
That is what group warfare is all about.
Quaaaang!
The blade of the great sword was raised to block, but Pasaruk’s fist was intact.
It was a fighting technique that boasted the purity of steel. The strength of the fist itself was surprising, but the destructive power created by the psychic energy surrounding the fist was also amazing.
‘It can’t be like this.’
Chiri riri ring! Pow!
Pasaruk hesitated and took three steps back.
Although he said he didn’t use his full strength, he only took three steps back despite hitting his stomach with a sharp angle. His defense power was enormous, as if he had mastered the ultimate external skill.
‘It cannot continue like this.’
Hahaha!
The great sword that struck down cut off Pasaruk’s forearm.
It was cut, but it was only skin. As soon as the blade struck, he twisted his arm and avoided being cut.
It was a practical fighting technique that was trained not just in the head but also in the realm of instinct. His skills were so great that it was hard to believe that he was the leader of a magic bandit group.
‘The advantage of surprise was fully obtained. ‘Now is the time to step down.’
Even while competing with an opponent that cannot be ignored, he accurately grasps the situation on the battlefield.
However, it was a little late. If he had seen it in time, he could have minimized the damage to Tang Ma’s army.
It is impossible to make judgments based on one’s first expedition, but it was clear from this point that Mo Yong-woo’s talent was unrivaled.
Mo Yong-woo shouted.
“Chief Jin! “Get your troops to the rear!”
Jinpae, who had been slaughtering demonic enemies for a while, his eyes lit up.
I didn’t want to back down. I wanted to eliminate all these crazy people.
But it was an order from the military commander. I had no choice but to follow.
The reason he gave that order only to himself and not to all the commanders was probably due to the belief that he would definitely follow the order.
“All Tang Ma forces retreat!”
Chiri riri ring!
The soldiers who were vigorously pushing back against the magic enemies saw their defeat with eyes filled with heat.
“But leader!”
“This is the commander’s order! “Get back now!”
Gyubyeok gritted his teeth.
“This whole group retreats!”
The soldiers hesitated.
It was late again this time. Although Mo Yong-woo’s judgment was somewhat late, if it was certain, the soldiers could not immediately respond to their superior’s orders.
The reason was simple.
Because it got hot. They knew that their superior’s orders were absolute and did not ignore them, but the martial arts’ unique pride delayed their reaction by a beat.
And the results were quite dire.
Burbubbubbuk!
The arrows of the magic bandits, who were aiming for the perfect moment, rained down on the cavalry of this group of Tangma’s army.
Bub bub bub! Hee hee hee!
Although he blocked more than half of the arrows, he could not block the rest. About thirty cavalrymen fell on the spot.
“no!”
“retreat! “Retreat!”
Only then did the falling speed accelerate.
But the Corridor was persistent. They knew from experience that an unintentional retreat greatly undermines the enemy’s morale.
Kagagaga River!
Pasaruk grabbed Moyonggun’s great sword.
My palm was cut and bleeding, but thanks to the powerful power of Sumeryeok Bulgong, the bone was not cut.
“How are you?”
Pasaruk smiled brightly.
“Who is going to kill whom?”
“…It doesn’t work out as expected.”
“Hahaha! “Do you know that now?”
Phew!
A powerful force pushed Mo Yong-woo even further. In terms of strength, Pasaruk was clearly superior.
“It was fun for the first time in a while. “Goodbye, Captain.”
It was then.
Bye!
“Oops!”
Pasaruk stumbled, clutching his nose.
“What is this son of a b*tch doing now…?!”
“I just want to leave.”
Mo Yong-woo wiped his forehead. He broke the bridge of Pasaruk’s nose with a headbutt.
“Now that I don’t have to worry about my subordinates, I will be different from before.”
“개새끼가 뭐라는 것이냐!”
It was then.
Rumbling!
All the trees on the southern hillside were blown up. A group of people could be seen running, cutting down rocks and trees indiscriminately.
Pasaruk’s eyes widened.
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes were shining with death.
“You catch it here today.”
Hehehe!!
With an angry roar, a white storm came crashing down on the southern wall of the outer edge.
It was an army of extinction.
