A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 221



Only Noblemtl

Episode 221. This kind of thing

The giant lay on the ground, bleeding.

People were singing and dancing in an exciting atmosphere.

The man who had been dancing more excitedly than anyone else in the center of the commotion suddenly looked at a man who had just entered the store with his expressionless face.

The man was wearing his hat pulled down low, and he smiled faintly when he received the Dauphin’s murderous gaze.

The man’s face was darkened above the nose because his hat was pulled down low over his head.

Only his mouth is visible.

A mouth that smiles like a crooked moon.

“… … .”

Dauphin, who had been watching him for a moment, quickly came down from the bar he had been standing on and slowly walked towards him.

The Dauphin smiled again.

“Friend, it seems like you’re one of those flies who wants to challenge me after hearing about my fame in the city. The provocation was pretty good. No, it was great. I almost got a little angry. But you know what? Provocation requires preparation. The determination and skill to not get torn to pieces by an opponent who gets angry at the provocation. From what I see, you don’t seem to have either of those two things.”

The man replied, his ears twitching.

“That’s a lot of talk.”

Ugh.

For a moment, the veins on Dauphin’s temples stood out, but he forced himself to smile and suppress his anger.

It wouldn’t have mattered much if he had just gone over to the other side, but his pride wouldn’t allow it.

He threw his head back and burst out laughing.

“Hahaha! Hahahaha!”

Then he looked at the unidentified man with a leisurely smile.

“Yeah, I admit it. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a provocation. It’s probably the first time since that guy jumped off the cliff. I don’t know where you heard that, but you used it at the right time and in the right place. Excellent!”

Compared to his lengthy speech, his opponent’s response was concise.

“Hey, you piece of trash.”

“Retirement, retiring?”

“Stop talking and attack me. Or are you scared?”

Dauphin looked at the man with a blank expression for a moment.

To think that just a few words could shake me up like this.

He was no ordinary guy.

It’s not ordinary for someone to rush in even after knowing your true identity, but this level of provocation?

Are you saying that there is another person like this in the Kingdom of Maya?

As the Dauphin hesitated for a moment, the man opened his mouth again, the corner of his mouth tugging to one side in a sneer.

“I heard that guy fell off a cliff and died. He was a silver rank, right?”

The Dauphin’s hand twitched.

“Sherwood is torn apart by the death of one of those rascals. They were more shabby than I thought.”

For a moment his hands glowed.

The blade hidden in his sleeve suddenly shot out and caught his finger.

The Dauphin’s lips formed a curve.

“Friend, your tongue is quite sharp. Didn’t you learn that if you tease the dead, you will be stabbed to death? I’ll cut off your tongue three inches long so you won’t talk any more.”

The man simply responded to the Dauphin’s bloody threats.

Flicking my hands.

“Try it.”

A sharp look passed between the two.

The singing of drunken, revelling people seemed like a distant noise.

The man grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the Dauphin grabbed the knife he had hidden in his sleeve.

The moment they were about to run towards each other.

The door flew open and a bunch of fierce men rushed in.

“Begin!”

As soon as they came in, they looked for someone.

He soon discovered the giant lying on the floor, examined his condition, and then immediately drew his sword.

The people who were singing and dancing were startled and retreated at the murderous sound of swords being drawn in a group.

They pointed their swords at the people and asked,

“How dare you… How dare you! Who are you? What kind of cowardly bastard did this to Begin?”

Before anyone could say anything.

A man wearing a hat raised his hand and pointed at Dauphin.

“This kid!”

Dauphin looked at him with bewildered eyes.

“No, this kid?”

The back alley thugs wielding clubs quickly surrounded Dauphin.

Standing among all the gloomy men, the Dauphin in his splendid attire looked like the star of the stage.

“Did you kill Begin?”

Dauphin admitted it

“Yeah, I brought that big guy to Naruto myself. He was quite rude.”

The men were furious.

“… … This kid dares to begin!”

“Where did you come from? Did the Butcher send you?”

“No, you don’t have to answer. I’ll pull out your fingernails one by one. I’ll make you want to talk.”

Dauphin sighed slightly and apologized.

“Friends, I’m sorry. If you want, I can send you after me. Could you please wait a little bit? I have a passenger. It’ll be done soon.”

But of course, the men who were blinded by the death of their comrades had no idea what they were talking about.

“Kill him!”

The Dauphin clicked his tongue briefly.

For a moment, his appearance became blurry… … .

The men who had been rushing in fell down almost simultaneously.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

They all fell to the floor, groaning, their eyes wide open in disbelief, their hands clutching their throats.

There wasn’t even a lot of bloodshed.

All it did was flash the blade and they all fell down like rotten pieces of wood.

Dauphin, who had cleaned them up in an instant, looked at the man who had been swearing while swinging his butterfly knife around like it was his habit.

“Friend. You have to take responsibility for your actions. Nobody likes a snitch.”

The man scratched the ball.

“That’s right.”

“Let’s try again.”

The moment when the two people regain their composure.

There was a commotion outside, and then the door opened wide again.

“I heard there was a guy messing with Trammy Par on Parcelson Street!”

“Get out now!”

“It’s war!”

Dauphin sighed.

“They’re coming in a long line. It would be faster to just settle down and come.”

The man sitting across from him blurted out:

“Can I help you?”

Dauphin looked at him.

The man shrugged.

“I’m going to relax. I’m not the type of person who has a lot of free time.”

“… … As you wish.”

The Trammy gang, who discovered the family members collapsed inside the store, immediately rushed at the two people with their blades drawn.

“Kill him!”

“It’s war!”

The two men quickly cleared out the rough men.

Dauphin glanced at him as he fought while he was taking down the men.

He leisurely dodged the attacks of the Trammy gang without even drawing his sword, poking them here and there with his fingers.

Strangely enough, those who were stabbed in this way would immediately faint.

‘What is that… … .’

At first glance, it looks like a magical attack, but it is clearly not magic.

I’ve never heard of magic that works that way.

then…….

‘Black magic?’

“Get behind!”

Crunch!

Even in the moment when Dauphin glanced away, his hands moved of their own accord to lead Trami and his men to the ferry where the boatman was waiting.

After everything was sorted out like that, the man shook his hands and nodded toward the door.

“What are you doing? Let’s just take care of it quickly and then get back together.”

“… … That’s right.”

Dauphin followed the strange man out the door.

Although it was my first time seeing the man, I felt somehow familiar with him.

‘What is this feeling?’

A vague, tingling feeling tormented Dauphin.

The Dauphin followed him, throwing off the feathered hat he had been wearing askew and tossing his hair wildly.

That day.

The underworld of Milgard, the capital of the Kingdom of Maia.

One of the great powers of the underworld that was responsible for one of those axes.

The Trammy drug dealers’ gang was wiped out.

By just two men.

* * *

Squeak… … .

The door opened and two men came out, shaking off their clothes.

“It didn’t take as long as I thought.”

“That’s right. It’s surprisingly easy to kill someone.”

As they came out, I could see inside through the open crack in the door.

A scene of chaos unfolded.

The two people who came out after killing the Trami gang took a moment to straighten their disheveled clothes.

The man grimaced as he dusted off the bottom of his trousers.

“Hey, I was careful not to get any blood on you.”

“… … .”

“No, Master. It was a long way. It’s all because that bastard Dauphin stabbed me with his sword. I didn’t even pull out my sword on purpose so that no blood would splatter.”

“… … ?”

“Oh, really? Your acupuncture skills have improved quite a bit, right? Hehehe. It’s fun to mix in not only bloodletting but also blood transfusions and horse bloodletting. It’s quite fun to use this in actual combat.”

Dauphin stared blankly at the man muttering to himself for a moment.

‘Isn’t this guy just crazy?’

It was the Dauphin who felt even more familiar.

Dauphin spoke to the snickering stranger.

“Hey. Have we met somewhere?”

The man pulled his hat down even lower and avoided answering.

“well.”

Even the corners of the lips curved like a waning moon at meaningful words.

Dauphin’s sense of foreboding grew even more intense.

Dauphin was lost in thought for a moment and then looked around.

The man’s attack came without warning.

Dauphin immediately rolled forward and dodged the attack.

The man muttered in a smiling voice.

“Never let your guard down.”

Dauphin jumped up and glared at the enemy who had launched a surprise attack.

“What a fearless guy. That was a great surprise attack.”

The other person responded briefly.

“I didn’t ask.”

Ugh.

Dauphin felt anger surge through his calm mind again.

But he tried to calm himself down and spoke in a very calm tone.

“I changed my mind. I won’t kill you. Instead, I’ll make you beg to be killed.”

The man simply smiled bitterly.

“Come at it.”

Before Dauphin fired his weapon, he looked at the sword in his hand.

He had never drawn his sword while fighting until now.

That was the first time I had ever seen him draw a sword… and oddly enough, it was cut in half.

‘Half sword?’

Dauphin doubted his eyes.

Because it was the first time I’d seen a crazy guy carrying around something like a sword that was broken in half.

‘A swordsman with a half-sword? I’ve never heard of one.’

At that moment, a red aura rose from the bastard’s half-sword.

“… … !”

Dauphin’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to tear.

At that moment, a nickname I had heard somewhere in passing came to mind.

‘No, maybe you’ve heard of it.’

Ashvan of the Half-Sword.

‘… … Ashvan?’

At the time, it was a name I hadn’t heard in a long time, so I hesitated for a moment, but soon let it go.

There isn’t just one person with the name Ashvan.

I also vaguely heard rumors that Sherwood had risen again.

But I didn’t believe it.

Because before, some scoundrels had stolen the name Sherwood and formed a mercenary group.

But is this all just a coincidence?

This eerily familiar feeling. The appearance of a swordsman with a half-sword named Ashvan. The sudden news of the re-establishment of the Sherwood Mercenaries.

‘no way?’

Even though I was telling myself that it couldn’t be true.

A ray of hope suddenly appeared and tormented him.

‘Is that guy really dead?’

I remembered Guston’s roar as he cried out against the cliff where he had been taken.

-No, that can’t be. He’s not the kind of guy who would die in a place like this.

-There’s no way he would have gone away so pointlessly. Of course not.

-Ashvaaaaan!!!

Hope is such a cruel thing that it grabs onto even the faintest possibility and won’t let go.

‘Come to think of it. Did I see that guy die with my own eyes?’

He had fallen from the foggy cliffs from which no one had ever returned alive, and the voice of reason told him that he was not this strong.

The Dauphin didn’t hear it. No, he ignored it.

‘The real Ashvan. That guy?’

The thought didn’t last long.

Because the bastard ran at me swinging his sword.

Instead of dodging, Dauphin quickly raised his aura and wrapped it around his knife.

Zzz!

My palm rang.

Dauphin saw red eyes flashing under his hat.

Ashvan’s eyes were not red.

Of course, it was bloodshot and red from swinging the sword late into the night, but it was definitely not this bright red.

Still.

‘I’ll have to check.’

Dauphin had to check.

Even if a ray of hope that suddenly appeared turned into despair, I had to check.

Why are you wearing your hat so low in the middle of the night?

Chae-chaeng! Chae-chaeng! Chae-chaeng!

Dauphin exchanged sword fights with the bastard, waiting for an opening… … .

Chomp!

He swung his sword like lightning.

From bottom to top.

The bastard tilted his head back and narrowly avoided the knife.

but.

wickedness-

The hat he was wearing could not avoid the Dauphin’s sword strike.

The hat that had been covering half of his face fell down, revealing his face under the faint moonlight.

“… … !”

Dauphin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“… … Ashvan?”

“ah.”

The man belatedly fumbled with my head, where my hat was resting, and frowned.

“this.”
