42 Episode 42 - Daedongyeojido, Part II (2/2)
It was a kind of evidence that this world had become so much more miserable than they had imagined.
But there was something else they had to worry about right now; an orange light and a red light were moving on the map!
That meant the monsters were moving!
”Take only what's important.”
”Yes.”
5.
It was Brown Goblins, attacking the cleaners who were working the road cleared by Kim Tae-hoon. They were familiar monsters to the Mac Clan's soldiers and Bang Hyun-wook.
”Everybody, get on the truck!”
A Brown Goblin itself was weak. An ordinary armed adult man could sufficiently deal with it.
Kieee!
The problem was that Brown Goblins moved under the command of a Hobgoblin, not individually. Moreover, the unique spell of the Hobgoblin took away the pain and fear from Brown Goblins.
The monsters who lost their pain and horror were terrifying over the imagination. The ferocious waves of the monster groups, numbering more than a hundred, destroyed the fighting spirit of those who faced them, before the fight.
”Awooo!”
In front of this scene, Bang Hyun-wook used the Howling power which he had acquired by eating the monster stone of a Black Wolf given by Kim Tae-hoon.
He dashed toward the Brown Goblins running at him, with the Howling. It was to earn some time and to express his confidence at the same time.
”I'll kill you all!” At the shout, Bang Hyun-wook's Energy churned. The Energy made his whole body grow stronger.
Except for Kim Tae-hoon, he had the highest stats in Strength and Health among the Awakeners. Therefore, being stronger than before would be a terrifying thing for the Brown Goblins that had to face him.
Moreover, he was wrapped by the leather armor of the Black Orc.
The leather of the Black Orc was not as strong as the leather of the Black Snake, but it was not the leather which the teeth or the nails of the Brown Goblins could do anything to. Therefore, the battlefield that Bang Hyun-wook threw himself into was like a free batting practice for him.
'Free batting is that you set the ball and hit it with a bat, free.'
There only difference was that a Brown Goblin's head was in place, instead of the ball.
Bang! So Bang Hyun-wook started to go crazy. Meanwhile, the Mac Clan's soldiers in the truck also passed Bang Hyun-wook, and began to pull the trigger at the approaching Brown Goblins.
Tutu! Now their shots were controlled, not wasting bullets, and not pointing guns at allies. No one was as frightened as before and just fired blindly toward the Brown Goblins.
”Kieee!”
Of course, the Goblins that ran into controlled gunshots began to fall rapidly. Nevertheless, the rush of Brown Goblins gradually narrowed the distance to the truck. There was no stopping them. They seemed to be getting faster every time they stepped on a dead colleague.
Kieee! The same was true of the anger in their eyes. The death throes of their companions fanned their anger.
It was a featherless arrow from somewhere that reversed the situation.
Swish!
The movement of the arrow that appeared was similar to that of a skilled person sewing beads. The arrow began to move like it was sewing the heads of the Brown Goblins.
Bloosh! The running Brown Goblins began to fall to the ground like puppets with cut strings, some falling on them and others falling on them again, then a wall was made.
Kieeek!The remaining Goblins fell to the ground, piling onto the bodies of their fellows. It was total chaos. In this ridiculous situation, the survivors were surprised at this absurd jaw-dropping scene, but not for long.
”Wooooooow!”
There was no reason to doubt who created this ridiculous sight.
”Master! Master is here!”
The main character was like a savior to those here now. A real Messiah.
There was no one who would not be proud at the appearance of their savior.
”Master is here!”
”Kill them all!”
So now the eyes of those facing the Brown Goblins began to burn. The spirit they created reached the Hobgoblin, who was commanding the Brown Goblins far away.
Kirr kirrk!
The Hobgoblin shuddered at the spirit that crushed the madness it had created. It was its last act.
His shivering head fell to the ground. A well-prepared Sword had sliced through the Hobgoblin's neck. At the same time, the pain and horror taken away were returned to the Brown Goblins.
Kiee! Kii, kiii! The Brown Goblins, again feeling pain and horror, began to run away speaking weak death throes.
Bang Hyun-wook looked at the Goblins who ran away silently, and he saw Kim Tae-hoon, who came back after finishing everything.

Jang Sung-hoon carefully wrapped Daedongyeojido and the writing of Choosa Kim Jeong-hee with silk. However, he didn't need to. When they became the relics, they gained new lives. There was no need to worry about them getting worn out. But he could not dare do otherwise.
'I never thought I would get this treasure.'
To mistreat a relic which could be only described with the word 'treasure' dared not be done by those who devoted their passion and dreams to art.
Jang Sung-hoon prepared a bag to put the precious treasure in. The bag was also a bag containing important things that he always had to carry.
”Eh?”
For example, it had a crystal glass decorated with gold that contained red liquid.
