Chapter 125: Territorialism (3)

10:48 AM.

North Korea was in an uproar.

Just minutes after the stigma of ‘territorialism’ had occurred, another unpleasant news followed.

「Our country’s title, the Hwanghae Strongest Sword, has been robbed!」

In the morning, or practically the beginning of the day, two major regional titles from North Korea were being sucked into South Korea.

This was a significant problem regardless of whether the counterpart was South Korea or not.

Was the country’s assets being leaked abroad?

Although it was a world where even countrymen pointed swords at each other, at this moment, everyone was outraged by this incident.

And that’s the same for Sinuiju’s Strongest Sword Jo Seonghu 01.

“What? This son of a bitch.”

Looking across the Yalu River while having breakfast, he unconsciously crushed the rice cake he was holding in his hand.

“What on earth are you doing? Southern bastards.”

The ‘Southern bastards.’ that Jo Seonghu was talking about referred not to thieves from South Korea but to the entire south, including Kaesong and Hwanghae, which had consecutively lost their titles.

How much of an indignity can one have to be mentally lax to suffer?

How can you lose a fight like nothing else to a South Korean guy who has never experienced the slightest hardship in his life?

“Damn it.”

Seonghu furrowed his brow as if frustrated.

Yet, he couldn’t hide his ominous expression.

This was because yesterday, even at the Sinuiju, Chinese thieves were discovered crossing the border.

However, since they were clearly unrelated to the Chinese authorities, Seonghu decided to cut off one of their arms each and send them back.

But now, titles were being taken away by South Korea…?

While the intruders from China were mere riffraff, that thief was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Kaesong and Hwanghae Strongest Swords were weaklings, but… Anyway, isn’t it the Strongest Sword?

‘What on earth is going on down there, that the Strongest Sword level has already started crossing the border?’

Whoosh.

As Seonghu raised his hand into the air for a signal, a person waiting behind him hurriedly approached.

“Yes, give me the order.”

“Only dispatch one Pawel to Pyongyang. I guess I have to catch that rat myself.”

* * *

At the same time, Yeongwoo, unaware that a flood was being prepared from the Yalu River, was relentless in shooting arrows.

Twang!

「White Fire」 – Epic Bow

【Sensory perception applies to arrow power.】

【Power increases with arrow distance.】

Thrilled by the fact that he could unilaterally attack enemies hundreds of meters away.

“Oh, my goodness!”

Yeongwoo was on the Negwig running towards Paju City Hall, aiming at the traffic light in the distance.

Then.

Thud.

He pulled the bowstring with all his might.

Thwack!

He released the hand holding the bow.

The silver-white bowstring flashed in the forefront of the silver-white bow, and from that spot, the arrow shot out like a flash of lightning.

Thunk!

It took practically no time for Yeongwoo to shatter the red traffic light nearly 400 meters away.

Of course, if his opponent were of a decent level, like Park Seolhwa, they could probably react adequately to this attack, with a probability of about 70%.

「Illusion」 – Unique Shoes

【30% chance of detection evasion.】

But what if a stealth arrow, undetectable even by local forensic examination from outside the field of vision, came at high speed?

How many could react to that?

‘It’s terrifying just to imagine.’

However, as the impact point exceeded 500 meters, he had to slightly elevate the bow to shoot, indicating that extensive practice would be necessary.

‘So that’s why Park Seolhwa’s arrows seemed to fall just above the brow.’

Although her shooting angle might not have been perfect, it would have been close to 40 degrees.

Strength.

The stronger the force pulling the bowstring, the farther the arrow could fly even at low angles.

Conversely, if the shooting angle was too high, the range would decrease.

‘Archery is practically a matter of instinct. I’ll have to shoot a lot to get used to it.’

But where was he?

This was the world after the reset.

With Yeongwoo’s sensory index reaching 1,400, it rapidly improved his archery skills.

Twang… thunk!

He had just succeeded in a precise shot at 700 meters.

‘I may not be able to account for variables like wind yet… but I’ll get more accustomed to it today.’

As expected, since the arrow’s range was related to strength, Yeongwoo’s realistic maximum range was about 2 kilometers.

So how could he identify and snipe enemies beyond 2 kilometers?

That’s where one of the loot items, “Clairvoyance,” came in handy.

「Clairvoyance」 – Mutant Earring

【Visibility is amplified up to 5 times.】

The hologram above Park Seolhwa’s right eye was this item.

Moreover, it was a piece of jewelry, so it could be added to the inventory.

‘Since the bow was a Epic grade, she must have acquired it herself. As for the Clairvoyance, it’s a mutation item, so she must have decided to use the bow after obtaining it.’

In other words, obtaining the Clairvoyance, a core item enabling bow operation, marked the start of her “bow build.”

So how many merchants did Park Seolhwa meet to find a bow in her lifetime?

Even the third loot item she obtained seemed to be deliberately prepared for proper use of the bow.

「Shoes」 – Sole Shoes

【When there are no adjacent enemies, movement speed doubles.】

‘I need to quickly obtain an armor encyclopaedia to make good use of this.’

Right now, it’s not too disappointing because I have Negwig, but in places like dungeons, it’s impossible to bring a mount, so there will come a time when it’s needed.

‘And lastly.’

「Poison」 – Mutant Dagger

【Neurotoxin】

|Decreases the target’s senses by 10%.

This was the dagger that Park Seolhwa carried with her.

It was probably her last resort to use when she inevitably allowed the opponent to approach.

Of course, for Yeongwoo, who was overflowing with weapons, this was just another factor that awaited the acquisition of a new encyclopaedia . If he were to obtain a weapon encyclopaedia, wouldn’t the neurotoxin be released whether it was Black Sword or Dragon’s Legacy?

‘I want to get to the dungeon quickly.’

Yeongwoo thought such crazy thoughts as he pulled the bowstring and precisely hit the center of one of the signs on the other side.

Twang… boom!

Thanks to his rapidly increasing archery proficiency, Yeongwoo could make quite accurate shots even while riding a horse.

‘So this is how the sensory equipment is used.’

Currently, Yeongwoo’s basic strength index was 3,100.

If bleeding started in this state, his strength would increase by 25%, and if he also used blue blood doping, his strength index would be further amplified by an additional 30%.

In other words, the power and range of his arrows could increase by almost 60%.

‘Since the locations of the mutants are clearly visible, it’s possible to take positions in advance and snipe them.’

As Yeongwoo thought this, he began to see the building of the Paju City Hall, the meeting place for today.

With that in mind, Yeongwoo pulled the bowstring for one last shooting practice before the meeting.

* * *

Around the same time, in the parking lot in front of Paju City Hall.

Contrary to Yeongwoo’s expectations, several Strongest Swords were already present in front of the city hall, and they were all barefoot.

This was in response to the shocking statement made by Gangnam Strongest Sword regarding their visit to North Korea.

“It’s probably something you’d hardly see twice in your lifetime.”

Mapo’s Strongest Sword Yang Wutaek07 chuckled as he scanned the “barefoots.”

In response, Dongdaemun’s Strongest Sword Jang Jeongho01 sat on the ground, grumbling.

“What’s going on that they’ve summoned these high-level talents here? It must be something serious.”

Then, Seongbuk’s Strongest Sword Lee Yoobin16 mocked him.

“Serious? Are you planning to shake hands again?”

This reminded everyone of the incident yesterday when Jang Jeongho challenged the newly appointed Gangnam’s Strongest Sword to a power struggle and got severely reprimanded.

“But still, the employees haven’t arrived yet, right? Shouldn’t we at least bring out some chairs? Or go inside? There are new people joining today, and their appearance seems…”

Pointing to the inside of the city hall was Lee Hanwook09, Dongjak’s Strongest Sword.

And a few meters away from him was Kim Hyeonggyu11, Eunpyeong’s Strongest Sword, who was attending the meeting for the first time, holding a very large and flat two-handed sword stuck into the ground.

Although he was also a Strongest Sword from the Seoul area, he looked very grim due to joining the meeting late.

“….”

Therefore, he was making a rather cautious expression, as he was unfamiliar with the structure and atmosphere of the meeting and didn’t want to seem underestimated.

“Gangnam’s Strongest Sword… is the strongest right now, right?”

When Eunpyeong’s Strongest Sword asked with a somewhat heavy voice, the bustling crowd suddenly fell silent.

Everyone present here had witnessed the moment when the strongest Strongest Sword changed firsthand.

The newly appointed Gangnam’s Strongest Sword, Jeong Yeongwoo.

The monstrous giant who came from another world, riding on a steel horse, and tackled Jeong Hyunsik in a wrestling-style, toppling him over.

“He’s strong, incredibly so.”

After a while, Seongbuk’s Strongest Sword Lee Yoobin said with a wistful look.

Right now, she was recalling the sight of Jeong Yeongwoo swinging his elbow and cutting off Jeong Hyunsik’s neck.

On the other hand.

“He’s strong, but he’s a bit strange, so be on your guard. He’s a guy who eats people’s organs.”

Dongdaemun’s Jang Jeongho made a disgusted expression, recalling the scene where Jeong Yeongwoo opened Jeong Hyunsik’s abdomen and swallowed his entrails.

“He eats human organs…?”

The concept of a newcomer meeting momentarily shattered.

Kim Hyeonggyu11, Eunpyeong’s Strongest Sword.

Although he was a hero who had protected Eunpyeong-gu against mutants every day, he couldn’t help but be surprised at the idea that the strongest person in this meeting ate human organs.

‘What kind of person is he…?’

As Kim Hyeonggyu imagined the worst-case scenario, Yongsan’s Strongest Sword, who had been looking around anxiously, pointed to the south.

“Oh… That person is the second-in-command of our meeting.”

At this, Kim Hyeonggyu’s head turned involuntarily, and soon he saw a woman with a sword, holding an Woldo.

Ta-tat!

She was none other than Songpa’s Strongest Sword, Oh Yeonhee04.

Behind her were Seocho’s Strongest Sword, Choi Namhee11, and Gangdong’s Strongest Sword, Kim Juwoo13, sticking closely.

Gangdong was especially the farthest area from Paju among the Seoul regions.

“It seems like almost everyone is here. Now, all we need is for the host to appear…”

As Yongsan Strongest Sword, Kim Doha, said this, everyone waited for the moment when Jeong Yeongwoo would enter from the north.

Twang!

A strange sound, unfamiliar to everyone, rang out.

Thwack!

Along with the sharp sound, a silver arrow flew through the Strongest Swords and embedded itself into the ground.

Thunk!

The arrow had such a powerful force that it pierced through the hard asphalt like tofu.

“What…?”

“What’s this, where did it come from?”

“What is this…?”

The Strongest Swords in the crowd were bewildered, staring blankly at the arrow, and only reacted belatedly when it disappeared into thin air as if melting into the air.

Shwooosh!

Thud!

Drawing their weapons from their waists, they began to search for the direction from which the arrow had come.

Then.

– Twang!

Along with the distinctive cry of his iron horse Negwig, Yeongwoo’s voice was heard from across the city hall.

“Oops… Sorry! Was anyone hit by the arrow?”
