Chapter 66 (2/2)

Crash!

Even though it was dodged, the shock was huge. Yeon Ha-rin stumbled back.

There was no more time to relax. If they delayed any longer, they couldn’t get on the passing boat.

Yeon Ha-rin shouted.

“Leave me and cross over!”

She cried out and swung her sword fiercely at the giant.

Clang!

The giant laughed as he stopped the attacks.

“I could let go of everyone but I can’t let you go. I should at least get one loot. Seeing you up close, you really are a treasure. Hahaha.”

The giant laughed slyly, but Yeon Ha-rin didn’t blink. She quietly swung her sword again and shouted.

“Go first!”

However, the Homuryeon warriors did not do that. How can they leave one woman behind, a prospect at that, and escape?

With a determined expression, the Homuryeon warriors squeezed their molars and swung their swords.

Soon all the ships passed.

And the ships of other pirates gathered around.

Anyway, they survived, so if they run to Homuryeon and ask for help, something will be done.

“What is that expression? Do you think they can all run away?”

The giant laughed again.

Suddenly, those dressed in black were rushing to the riverside where the boats were heading.

It was all half Kang-shi.

Even after seeing that, Yeon Ha-rin was not despaired or disappointed.

She fixed her sword and glared at the giant.

The giant trembled at the appearance.

“It’s the best! It’s too wasteful to offer her as loot!”

The giant said so, swinging the cleaver round and round.

Intense and violent energy emanated from his body.

The Geumokruju was in charge of guiding Byeoktaesan.

In fact, the Baekhwaruju was going to do it, but Byeoktaesan specifically pointed out the Geumokruju, so they couldn’t help it.

In fact, the Geumokruju handled most of the work here in Uichang, so the Geumokruju knew better than the Baekhwaruju of the ways to the pirates.

She was active in Uichang for a long time as well.

The Geumokruju didn’t say a word and quietly just moved her feet.

She quickly traveled along the river.

Byeoktaesan moved closely behind her, and Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon followed behind him.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon insisted to follow and help Byeoktaesan thinking he would ask them to just go back and continue training.

Because there were a lot of pirates, they argued that it would be right for them to take care of the small fries.

Byeoktaesan obviously knew what they were thinking on the inside, but he allowed them to come.

It was true that they can be useful when taking care of the small fries.

The two were actually a little surprised.

The speed at which they are moving was considerable.

Geumokruju did her best without giving any circumstance.

She was the branch manager of the Hao guild, no matter how much she has fallen in title because the headquarters disappeared.

As she started to run in earnest, Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon could not be not vigilant.

The moment they didn’t focus, they felt like they wouldn’t be able to keep up.

However, it was really amazing that Byeoktaesan was following the pace casually.

There were a lot of things he had shown them.

Il Chim Gui was taken care of with one hit, and when the masked man who was among the half Kang-shi exploded his latent powers, he managed it simply.

However, such a fight and running like this were completely different.

This was impossible without inner strength.

And as the two of them knew, Byeoktaesan didn’t have an ounce of inner strength built up.

A mysterious thing was happening right in front of them, but the person in question was Byeoktaesan, so somehow they just learned to accept it.

When the two were filling their minds with their thoughts on Byeoktaesan, Byeoktaesan increased his speed and stuck next to the Geumokruju.

“Hey.”

The Geumokruju looked at Byeoktaesan in amazement.

“Yes? Did, did you call?”

“By any chance, do you know me?”

“You are the second son of Gold Wall aren’t you?”

The Geumokruju replied as if she had been waiting.

“Not that.”

The Geumokruju looked ahead again.

“I do not know.”

“That means you have an inkling yeah?”

The Geumokruju’s face turned pale. She shook her head.

“No. Honestly, I don’t even have a guess.”

Byeoktaesan was trying to say something again, but a forest appeared in front of him.

The Geumokruju said urgently.

“There is a house in that forest.”

Byeoktaesan smiled.

“Let’s talk again later. Taking a long time very slowly.”

The Geumokruju has a look as if she was about to cry.

“It’s really nothing.”

“Why do you decide that?”

Byeoktaesan left with that and ran straight forward.

Shortly after entering the forest, a house quickly appeared.

A small river led to the forest, and a house was erected by the river.

Half was floating on the river, and the other half was built on the shore.

“What, it looks like it’s empty?”

The Geumokruju was surprised at the words of Byeoktaesan.

“It can’t be. Even just yesterday, It was full of pirates… … !”

“Yeah? So where did all those pirates go?”

The Geumokruju’s face turned blue.

“The prospects are in danger!”

“Guide me.”

The Geumokruju paused at Byeoktaesan’s words. And she said as she looked at the small river that flowed away from the house.

“Because there isn’t a single ship left, it looks like they went out along that river.”

Byeoktaesan nodded at her words.

“It makes sense. Then can I run along the river?”

“I think we need to hurry.”

The Geumokruju spoke after recalling the departure times of the prospects in her mind, calculated where they could have been.

Byeoktaesan first started running along the river.

The Geumokruju, Cheon Gyeong-wan, and Yoo Seo-yeon followed.

Yoo Seo-yeon’s face turned white.

“I should have followed… … .”

Cheon Gyeong-wan tapped on Yoo Seo-yeon’s shoulder. As Yoo Seo-yeon turned her head and looked at him, he said heavily.

“Stay focused.”

Yoo Seo-yeon woke up with those words and nodded.

And she ran while looking at Byeoktaesan’s back. However, staying focused did not mean that the urgent mindset disappeared.

As if reflecting the heart, she became faster. Cheon Gyeong-wan could match her speed, but the Geumokruju could not.

Little by little she fell behind.

However, despite increasing the speed, the distance from Byeoktaesan was gradually increasing.

Suddenly, Byeoktaesan turned into a dot on the horizon.

The astonishment hardly disappeared in the eyes of the two.

* * *

Byeoktaesan arrived at the confluence of the small river.

Then he saw ships clustered in the distance.

There were a lot of half Kang-shi on the boats.

“I finally found them.”

And pirates were mixed in along with the half Kang-shi.

In the meantime, a muscular giant was wielding a huge sword that suited his body.

And it was Yeon Ha-rin who was fiercely fighting the giant.

As he focused, the fight between the two was magnified and engraved on the retina as if it were taking place right in front of him.

Byeoktaesan, who saw that, tilted his head.

“Something… It feels a bit familiar?”
