Chapter 134: Diary of a Wanderer (7)

‘Fuck, what kind of situation is this?’

Life’s greatest crisis.

Park Jeongjin, the Strongest Sword of Goyang, looked around with widened pupils.

“Aaaaah!”

“Kill that basta*d first!”

“Chase him, you damn bastar#s!”

It was because three of the Strongest Swords from the north were rushing towards them.

Thanks to this, he was sweating profusely, and his back was already wet for a long time.

“….”

Although he usually referred to himself as the guardian of the northern part of Korea, when it came to actually playing the role of a ‘guardian’, he felt so weak that it was pathetic.

Because.

“Goodness.”

Right now, he was trying to avoid the northern Strongest Swords and hide behind the mutant.

Of course, this was merely a tactical move.

Who in the world could face three Strongest Swords simultaneously?

An overwhelmingly disadvantageous battle of 1 vs. 3.

In such a situation, anything that could be used had to be utilized.

Even if it meant dealing with mutants.

‘But still, there’s no way to avoid some crumples.’

Damn it!

When Jeongjin swiftly took shelter under the mutant’s huge shadow.

「What on earth are you doing?」

On the fourth day of the mutation in Paju, Kim Younghyeom, with a silvery-white beard, growled.

[Soldier – Kim Younghyeom]

As a mutant, his body reached about 6 meters in length and 2.5 meters in height, resembling a white tiger.

Jeongjin couldn’t help but tremble unknowingly when he looked up at him.

Just looking at him was terrifying.

Perhaps it was because the fear of tigers was ingrained in his genes from his ancestors.

It’s said that in the old days, people were really bitten by tigers.

However.

‘I can’t die in such a ridiculous way.’

There’s also a saying that if you keep your wits about you, even if you’re bitten by a tiger, you can survive.

In the face of the fear of death, Park Jeongjin remembered the identity of his opponent.

“General! P-please help us just once. After all, aren’t we fellow countrymen! They are from North Korea!”

「…….!」

At the sound of “general,” Kim Younghyeom, who had become a white tiger, twitched his white eyebrows.

Kim Younghyeom, a colonel in the army.

Former director of the Army Headquarters Policy Office.

He is probably the most famous figure among the soldiers currently alive.

When he was active as the director of policy, he became a topic of discussion for saying, “If North Korea fires one missile, we should fire two,” but later it was revealed that he was involved in military procurement corruption.

However, it was not the missile corruption that the public ridiculed at the time, but the suspicion that he exerted indirect influence in selecting the suppliers for supplying field rations.

Although there was no definitive evidence as his duties were not directly related to supplier selection, several circumstantial evidences were found.

Above all, it had been confirmed that 1.3 billion won had been received from the problematic supplier, so Kim Younghyeom’s name had been plastered all over television and the internet for a while.

Moreover, this incident had occurred just two months before the reset date.

Therefore, before the trial results came out, the judgement of the public had already been passed.

They had nominated Kim Younghyeom as a candidate for eradication voting.

「Do I look like a moron? Anyway, you’re here to kill me just like they are.」

At the words of the Goyang’s Strongest Sword asking for help, Kim Younghyeom twitched his silvery-white beard.

“Well… that’s true, but! General!”

As Park Jeongjin was desperately trying to explain himself, he suddenly widened his eyes.

“Now’s the time!”

“Kill him!”

While the two exchanged a brief conversation, the trio from the Southern faction were targeting Kim Younghyeom.

Naturally, they had resolved to take out the mutant with the most significant presence first.

However, the mutant in Paju was ultimately a possession of the South.

“How dare you!”

Enraged, Park Jeongjin managed to engage each of the three opponents, albeit narrowly.

Clang!

But could miracles happen one after another?

“This damn bastard.”

“We got him!”

Just as the second engagement was about to start, Park Jeongjin was soon overwhelmed.

And this was as natural as arithmetic.

In a fight between swords of similar levels, wouldn’t there be a difference of three to one in numbers?

Swoosh!

Eventually, when Park Jeongjin couldn’t pass the second engagement and received a wound on his arm, flames sparked in Kim Younghyeom’s eyes, who had been silently watching the fight until now.

「Hey, you pathetic bastard.」

Although both sides were attackers who had come to kill the mutants, Kim Younghyeom’s mood soured when he saw the Strongest sword of his own faction being beaten by North Koreans.

「So, as I always say. When they hit us once, we should hit them twice!」

Crack!

As Kim Younghyeom lifted his front paw and struck the ground hard, an instant gust of wind arose, pushing back all four of the nearby Strongest Swords.

「To think I’d have to prepare for another armed conflict while still alive.」

A mutant of army general rank, Kim Younghyeom, with his head covered in white fur, looked up at the sky.

He couldn’t tell how long it had been since the reset.

Judging by the fact that the Strongest Swords were brandishing their swords, it seemed like it had been several hundred years, but…

“General!”

Just by looking at the guy who was pathetically calling him ‘General’ while lying down, one could tell that the world still remembered him.

Surprisingly, it was clear that not much time had passed.

“Hyaaah!”

“Uwah!”

While Kim Younghyeom briefly lifted his head to look at the sky, Pyongyang and Anak’s Strongest Swords did not miss the opportunity and swung their swords.

「……」

At that moment when Kim Younghyeom was about to demonstrate his skills in earnest.

Fuuuuuut!

Somewhere, only a very faint sound, barely perceivable by Kim Younghyeom, could be heard.

「What?」

And then.

Swish, boom!

A sharp movement and a purple explosion occurred almost simultaneously.

Right in front of Kim Younghyeom.

“Aaargh!”

“Cough!”

Thanks to that, although the Northern Strongest Swords were thrown to the ground, the appearance of another powerful figure, from the perspective of the mutants who saw everyone as enemies, was a disaster.

「Who’s there?」

Kim Younghyeom, who had not yet identified the source of the sound, whipped his head around, and the Strongest Sword from Wonsan, who had not been caught up in the explosion yet, pointed somewhere.

“T-There! That bastard!”

The fingers of the Strongest Sword from Wonsan trembled.

It was because the ‘stamp’ left on the one who plundered the assets of North Korea was clearly visible in his eyes.

-Kweeee!

And then, a strange cry erupted from the south.

「Huh?」

When Kim Younghyeom turned around, he saw a man riding a horse from afar, holding a bow in his hand.

「What is that…?」

Such an unreal appearance that the term ‘that’ came out of the mutant’s mouth involuntarily.

Swish!

Moreover, as the horse began to gallop, the black cloak worn by the ‘mounted archer’ fluttered, revealing the golden armor hidden underneath.

「What is that, and is that also a Strongest Sword like you?」

As the distance with ‘that’ shortened rapidly, Kim Younghyeom glared at Park Jeongjin, and the pitiful Strongest Sword from Goyang.

Swoosh.

After glancing briefly at the mounted archer.

“I-I don’t know! I’ve never seen anything like that before!”

He blurted out a useless line.

Because there was no title visible on ‘that’ which should have been above the head if he were a Strongest Sword.

And in the meantime.

Kwaaat!

-Kweeek!

With the piercing sound of the horse, the problematic mounted archer rushed into the scene.

「Uh…!」

Feeling threatened, Kim Younghyeom crouched down and assumed a defensive stance.

Swish, swish!

The opponent passed by without a care, then stopped between the Strongest Swords from the North.

And then.

“Ah, I’m really sorry. These are people who came looking for me.”

With a truly nonchalant tone, he bowed his head to Younghyeom and Jeongjin.

However, what could be said to the two who hadn’t even properly grasped the situation yet?

「…….」

“Um, well….”

The two blinked their eyes and exchanged glances for a while, finally breaking the silence when Kim Younghyeom asked a question.

「S-So, who are you…?」

“Oh, right.”

As if the opponent had forgotten, he looked up at his own head, then suddenly tapped his chest.

Hwaaat!

『Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword』

The identity of the mounted archer was finally revealed.

「Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword…?」

As Kim Younghyeom slowly read the strangely named title, the opponent drew a sword from his waist and introduced himself formally.

“Yes. I am the strongest in Gyeongbuk, Gangnam, Kaesong, and Hwanghae, the strongest on Earth, Jeong Yeongwoo 07.”

「Huh?」

“And this battle is supported by the intergalactic weapon brand, Dogo.”

「W-What are you talking about?」

Feeling uneasy, Kim Younghyeom instinctively flattened his ears, while the Goyang’s Strongest Sword, Park Jeongjin, opened his mouth with a pale face.

“G-General! This is really strange. The Strongest Swords don’t say such things. It’s just…”

However, Park Jeongjin couldn’t finish his sentence.

While he was speaking, Jeong Yeongwoo of Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword swung his sword at Pyongyang’s Strongest Sword, who was lying on the ground.

Hwaeeeak!

And with that, due to the splendid spike pattern drawn along the path of the sword, everyone in the area realized a beat late.

Thud.

The fact that Pyongyang’s Strongest Sword’s head had just been severed by that blow.

「This…!」

“Ah!”

Although Younghyeom and Jeongjin were greatly surprised by the overwhelming display of skill, the other two Strongest Swords from the North were even more shocked.

“You bastard!”

“P-Please spare us!”

Anak, Wonsan.

While the two showed different reactions, they both unconsciously looked towards the North.

As if waiting for someone.

So, Yeongwoo sensed it.

Clank.

“There’s more, right? The people who came to capture me.”

It was probably true.

Considering the time, it was too early for the main force to arrive.

Since they didn’t even react to the arrow that was shot earlier, the three who were already here were just makeshift pawns.

In other words, there was a high probability that it was an unexpected attack that had not been agreed upon by some sort of alliance in North Korea.

Having lost two major regional titles earlier, it was unlikely that they would send only a few sacrificial pawns again.

“Do you know anything at all? Otherwise, you’ll die right away.”

When there was no response from the opponent, Yeongwoo raised his sword again, and at this, Anak’s Strongest Sword, lying beneath his blade, attempted to plead for mercy.

“St-Stop your actions!”

From afar, a voice echoed loudly from a rugged mountain.

“….?”

Turning his head to look in the direction of the voice, Yeongwoo saw people standing in line on the mountain.

There were as many as eight of them.

‘…That’s quite a lot this time.’

They were likely the main force from the North.

The narrative compass, the “Fearful Cat,” also trembled thinly, indicating a threatening presence on the other side.

At this point, Kim Younghyeom spoke up again.

「Isn’t that a bit challenging for you too? Aren’t there eight more people coming now?」

“Ah.”

At Younghyeom’s words, Yeongwoo realized he needed to explain to some extent.

Just then, a swift movement came from the south.

‘Huh, could it be…’

As Yeongwoo turned his head, he saw people coming from the south as well.

They were the Strongest Swords of the Seoul Federation.
