Chapter 67 (1/2)

Yeon Ha-rin fought like crazy.

It was enough that the Homuryeon warriors who remained behind with her were scared of her.

So, how would the giant facing Yeon Ha-rin think?

“I underestimated you.”

He had to admit it. He underestimated Yeonharin thinking she was an easy target.

Yeon Ha-rin was far better than he expected.

Her martial arts were also strong, but she had a better sense of improvisation and fighting.

She had already passed crisis moments with that several times already.

However, the giant did not doubt his victory. The result was decided. It was just how long it would take to get there.

The giant glanced around.

Still, he had the upper hand, so he had breathing room.

And it was also one of the two reasons he couldn’t deal with Yeonharin yet.

The Homuryeon warriors were dealing with the half Kang-shi, but things were still tense.

But that wouldn’t last much longer.

The other ships were still full of half Kang-shi after all.

When the half Kang-shi on this side died, the guys on the other ships came over.

So, the number of half Kang-shi continued to be maintained, but the Homuryeon warriors were getting tired.

He checked a little further away.

The ship carrying the prospects arrived safely on the shore.

But that didn’t mean they got out of the crisis.

There were a lot of half Kang-shi there as well. They will never get out of there.

The important characters will be captured, and those who are not will all die or be reborn as a half Kang-shi.

There was a reason why the giant was so optimistic about the situation over there.

There was a real master over there on the ground.

There were also half Kang-shi that were much stronger than those here.

“If I don’t finish it soon, things might get complicated.”

This side needed to finish before that side. Otherwise, his abilities would be questioned.

“I wanted to get my loot without hurting it, but I guess I can’t. Even if it hurts, be patient.”

The giant said so and swung the sword roughly.

Woosh!

A huge cleaver aura spouted out and struck Yeonharin’s sword.

Clang!

There was an explosion powerful enough to shake the ship.

And Yeon Ha-rin slid back. A stream of blood flowed from her mouth.

However, Yeon Ha-rin’s fighting spirit did not die at all.

She rushed at him even harder.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even though she could not properly stop the giant cleaver aura slashes, she never withdrew.

She was instinctively grasping that she shouldn’t step back now.

Yeon Ha-rin barely dodged the slashes.

In the meantime, her physical strength and inner strength were rapidly consumed.

Yeon Ha-rin’s movements gradually became dull.

Then she heard someone calling.

“Hey! there!”

The giant was amazed at the sound as if someone was speaking directly into his ear.

No, it wasn’t that much. It was as if someone was slapping words directly into his head.

This wasn’t the kind of technique that uses the air to transmit sound from far away.

It was a much higher-level technique.

The giant hurriedly stepped back. In his eyes, he saw Yeon Ha-rin who was also confused.

It was evident that Yeon Ha-rin had also heard it.

The giant looked around and confirmed the identity of the voice.

Someone was standing by the river and looking his way.

It was Byeoktaesan.

The eyes of Yeon Ha-rin, who found him, widened. Tears almost came out.

However, she thought it shouldn’t be acting like that right now. Tears get in the way of battle.

“Yeah. Pig, You.”

The giant raised his finger with absurd eyes, pointed at himself, and opened his eyes wide.

“Is there any other pigs there other than you? Why do you keep asking? It’s bothersome.”

The giant snorted.

“Ha! You bastard, do you even know who I am talking to me that way?

“Should I know you? Then how about you, do you know who I am?”

“I do not know, you bastard.”

Byeoktaesan laughed coldly.

“Then you have to die. Wouldn’t it be considered good business if you died for the sin of not knowing me?”

The giant stood confidently and stared at Byeoktaesan.

“Oh yeah? You are going to kill me? Then come and try it.”

The giant’s gaze turned to Yeon Ha-rin this time.

“Before you come here, I’ll show you clearly how I deal with that.”

The giant aimed at Yeon Ha-rin. An unusual energy began to sway.

“If you get caught here, you’ll want to die anyway, so die beforehand.”

The giant’s cleaver with enormous energy plunged toward Yeonharin.

Yeon Ha-rin urgently tried to stop it. However, no matter how much she looked at it, it was unlikely that she could prevent or avoid that.

Still, shouldn’t she try as far as she could? Even Byeoktaesan was able to come here.

Yeon Ha-rin clenched her teeth and swung her sword.

The moment the sword and the cleaver were about to collide, something broke through.

Clang!

A clear sound rang and the giant staggered and retreated. His palm was torn and bleeding.

The giant cleaver shook back and forth in the giant’s hand. He was shocked to the point that he couldn’t properly control his cleaver.

The giant urgently confirmed the identity of what made himself this way.

“A stone?”

A pebble fell nearby.

“Don’t explode your latent power in vain. I didn’t bring the doctors so I can’t even save you. I can’t let you die so easily can I?”

The giant looked at Byeoktaesan, talking slowly by the river, with scared eyes.

Did you mean that he threw a stone from there and left this much of an impact on him?

“Does that make sense?”

The giant mumbled like that, then stumbled and sat down.

He was just about to explode his latent powers, but the energy was disturbed by the stone, and the power flow reversed.

Paradoxically, because of that, the body was safe.

Although because his gimaek was twisted, the latent power was not dispersed outside, but rather became trapped inside.

Of course, it became impossible to fight any more.

When the giant fell, Yeon Ha-rin helped the rest of the Homuryeon warriors to fight the half Kang-shi.

Even so, she checked on Byeoktaesan constantly.

She saw Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon arriving behind Byeoktaesan.

Yeon Ha-rin was relieved for some reason. Even though it absolutely wasn’t a situation to be relieved yet.

* * *

Byeoktaesan was standing by the river and measuring the distance.

He checked if he could jump and get on the boat at once, but the distance was a bit vague.

This was because the pirates worked in a place as far from the land as possible, to prevent people from running away.

“Hah, it wouldn’t even be a half step if it was the me from before, but how did I end up like this now.”

Byeoktaesan mumbled like that, looking for something to step on.

He thought if he put a few wooden planks between him and the boat then he will be able to get on the boat.

At that moment, the Geumokruju arrived.

She brought a few pieces of wooden boards.
