Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 43
Only Noblemtl
Episode 43
Dream Shadow God’s Hijacker, Dumunrang.
As his nickname, Shadow in Dreams, suggests, he is an elusive character.
How could I not have a grudge when I have spent my entire life stealing the world’s most precious things?
So, Salmak was also flooded with requests related to it.
The requests ranged from requests to bring him a neck to requests to just return a lost item.
There was a lot of money at stake, and the job was given to me, a top talent.
I have been following the footsteps of Mongyeongshintu for three years, so I am the person who knows him best in the Central Plains.
In the end, it remained one of the few missions I failed.
“Are you going to look for that person? There’s a Mongyeongshintu here in Namman?”
The little one was already excited.
“If we’re lucky, we’ll meet.”
I chased him for three years, but I never saw his face.
All they found out was a few hiding places scattered across the Central Plains and his past that no one knew about.
One of those hideouts is here in Namman.
He has stolen a huge amount of stuff, and the whole of Central Plains is in an uproar with people looking for him.
Whenever the Central Plains were noisy, he always headed to Namman’s hideout.
It is likely that he is still there now.
Otherwise, there’s no choice.
Fortunately, it’s not far from here, so it’s worth a visit.
“But even if we find him, he’ll run away, of course. Will we be able to catch the one who possesses the best magic in the Central Plains?”
“I can never catch it.”
But I do have some expectations.
He is not a person who steals things out of greed.
No matter how precious an object is, the moment I hold it in my hand, I lose interest in it.
There was something else I was truly searching for as I wandered the world.
No, not ‘thing’, but ‘person’.
I know where the person he is looking for is.
In fact, even if he wasn’t the Millennium Doll Seol-sam, I planned to tell him when I met him someday.
Although I never saw his face, I felt sorry for his past.
In fact, there was an aspect of him giving up on the request to kill him.
“Kid, it’s too late.”
“The Lord of Sodong is fast. Gasp gasp.”
My new technique that I learned during my time as a killer is also pretty good.
Of course, compared to the dream world, it would be like crawling at a snail’s pace.
“Come here and hug me.”
I came all the way to Mokreung Village carrying a box of dried pollack on my back.
Running around carrying just one little kid is nothing.
So I ran towards Myoa Mountain where Mongyeongshintu’s hideout was.
Holding a little boy whose face was red and whose eyes were tightly shut.

Namcheon Damdong Dongjujeon.
“I found it.”
Cheolyeongdaeju Kwak Deung-un is reporting.
“What kind of kids were they?”
The veins on Dammuhun’s fist stood out.
Finally, I found these guys who were going to tear me apart.
“They are the Heuksabang of Guangxi Province. And as Dongju said, it seems that Yonghomun-dong is involved.”
Even if it was a kidnapping of a southern woman, his conclusion was that it was impossible to escape to the Central Plains without help.
So, he gave instructions to Cheolyeongdae to secretly watch the movements of other families.
“Are you sure?”
“It has been confirmed that the Black Ark has come and gone several times, but there is still no concrete evidence.”
“hmm…….”
It is none other than Yonghomun-dong.
Although they are not currently a family of Pal-dong, they are a family with a long tradition of guarding the battlefield together with the first Beast King.
If you touch it rashly, you may end up providing an unnecessary excuse.
There must be solid evidence.
“What kind of place is Heuksabang?”
“They’re just some of the so-called Heukdo sect. They’re the kind of guys who commit all sorts of bad things. Only the owner of the room, Galdugyeong, seems to have some ability.”
Dammuhun opened his mouth after gathering his thoughts for a moment.
“Clean up all the bastards!
This isn’t just talk.
Even if it’s not necessarily to get information, it’s natural to want to skin those who have done dirty things.
Especially the scumbags who kidnap women and molest children.
Dammuhun really thinks so.
“Do you need assistance?”
“The iron fence is enough.”
A secret unit organized for secret missions.
At least the strongest masters of Namcheon Damdong gather here.
A day would be enough to master even a shabby black sword sect.
“But you know. No matter how much trash they are, they are part of the Sapa sect. I wonder if it would be okay to sweep them away… … .”
“I will take responsibility. If I am delayed even by one day, there will only be more victims.”
I have never been afraid of the Central Plains for even a single day.
If there are people who protect trash, then they are trash too.
Just sweep them all away.
After confirming the instructions, Kwak Deung-woon left.
Soon, he will lead the Iron Corps and head to Guangxi Province.
‘I have to inform the palace first. When I sweep away Yonghomun-dong, I’ll have to take that guy with me. He has to know how much of a headache Dongju’s position is.’
The first time the two rich brothers went out together was to destroy Yeonghomun-dong.
But it doesn’t matter.
Originally, if you break the heads of trash and peel its skin while it’s still alive, the affection between the rich and the poor will build.

Myoa Mountain.
We arrived at Myoa Mountain after running for half a day carrying the little one in our arms.
I was lucky because it was close to Mokneung Village.
It’s already been ten years since I started chasing him.
Perhaps because it was a place where few people had set foot, it wasn’t much different from my memories of that time.
“There is no road from here.”
He said, putting the little one down.
The little one’s breathing was ragged, as if he had been running.
“Ah. Oh, thank you for your hard work.”
Judging from the fact that his face is red, it looks like he has a lot of body heat.
“I thought about it while running, but I didn’t run. You could have just left me in Mokryung Village, so why did you bring me here? Up until now, I’ve just been a burden.”
“Are you telling me to leave a woman alone in a village where she doesn’t know anyone? Why? Do you want to go back?”
“Oh, no.”
This guy’s face is getting red again.
It’s good to apply a decoction of purslane to the face for flushing, but it seems like you don’t know much about it.
I walked slowly, pushing through the tree branches.
He didn’t even bother to hide his presence.
Anyway, the meeting is his choice.
I just hope you’re curious about the big savage and the little Central Plains woman climbing the rugged mountain path.
Did we walk for about half an hour?
I stopped in front of a large rock.
An ordinary rock that you might have passed by dozens of times by now.
But the air is not flowing and is still.
This is where his strategy to hide his hideout begins.
You may have to destroy it by force, but then you will never be able to see him again.
I shouted loudly at the dream god who was watching us from somewhere behind the invisible curtain.
“Mongyeongshintu, let’s talk.”
I waited for a long time for an answer, but there was no response.
It’s one of two things.
Either I’m the only one talking when no one else is around, or I haven’t piqued his curiosity enough yet.
But one thing is certain.
If he’s in that formation, he’s definitely watching us.
I shouted again.
“Demon Spirits, Dumunrang! I have brought you what you have been looking for.”
After a long time, I finally heard his answer.
“What did a man who came empty-handed wearing only a bear skin bring?”
His voice echoed from all directions.
I’m glad it elicited a reaction.
Now is the time to make him reveal himself to us.
The person he had been looking for his entire life.
I shouted the person’s name.
“Duyeo-ok! I know where she is.”
There was no answer for a long time, but it didn’t matter.
He will appear before me soon.
I sat on the rock and waited slowly.
About half an hour had passed in silence?
The moment when the little boy, unable to overcome his frustration, was about to open his mouth.
His shadow stretched out from under the tree, casting a long shadow.
As if it had been there from the beginning.
The fact that no one in the vast Central Plains knows his face exactly means something simple.
Either no one has actually seen it, or no one has survived after seeing its face.
He opened his mouth.
“If it’s a lie, you will die here!”
An icy, cold murderous aura filled Mt. Myoa.
* * *
Duyeo-ok is his only daughter.
Of course, she doesn’t know that her father is the famous Mongyeong Shinto, Dumunrang, the best Shinto warrior in the Central Plains.
Maybe he doesn’t even know that he has a father.
“… … There were a few guys who approached me, bringing up that kid’s name. None of them are still alive today. Tell me the name first.”
What he said must be true.
Although he is famous for his divine techniques that are considered the best in the Central Plains, his martial arts skills are also of an exceptional standard.
It’s too much of a hassle for me right now.
“I am the manager of Namcheon Damdong.”
“I am Mokye-rang from Bangrimpyo-guk.”
The little boy followed me and identified himself.
The two-faced man asked the little boy.
Where did the cold murderous tone from before go, and the voice became soft.
“Oh. I know the Bangrimpyo-guk well. I think I’ve had a connection with their stuff a couple of times.”
“I heard it’s four times.”
If stealing things is fate, then Mongyeongshintu probably has a connection with all the symbols of the Central Plains.
“Haha. It was a long time ago so I can’t remember clearly. So, I think I turned twenty this year?”
“I’m nineteen.”
Although it was not intentional, Dumunrang’s daughter and Mok Yerang are similar in age.
The small ones have a similar feel.
Perhaps looking at the little girl reminded him of his own daughter.
Anyway, it helped me get into the conversation.
It was good that you brought me.
Although you can’t see it, his eyes must be filled with regret for the past.
“I know where she is.”
“I said I would kill you if you lied.”
“Okay then.”
He was silent for a moment at my confident answer.
It’s the words of a man who tells me to kill myself without changing my expression at all.
I’m sure you’ve thought about listening to her story at least once.
“Why should I believe you?”
“Three little dots on the sole of my right foot!
Few people know that Dumunrang is looking for his lost daughter.
But I am the only one who knows the characteristics of the body.
After a while he asked in a trembling voice.
“… … Where are you?”
“Before that, I also want something.”
It’s not my style to exploit people’s weaknesses to get what I want.
But for him, it is a lifelong goal.
So, wouldn’t it be okay to ask for a small price?
“Tell me.”
He answered confidently as if it didn’t matter, but I knew full well that he didn’t have much.
Dumunrang never kept the stolen items for himself, but always sold them at high prices.
In some cases, the original owner had to pay several times the price to get it back.
And he gave all that enormous money to homeless children.
Thousands of beggars have survived thanks to his help, so the Gaebo should give him at least one position as an elder.
There was only one reason why he did such an outrageous thing.
The hope that his daughter, whom he had not found until now, might be among them.
And regrets about the things I couldn’t do for my young daughter.
Of course I still have what I want.
“Millennium Doll Seol-sam!”
“Haha. That young kid is too greedy. Judging from his energy, he already has more than enough.”
“There’s one more.”
“You look so normal, but you’re crazy. Come on. Tell me. I don’t have anything, but I’ll get you whatever you need. That is, if the information you’re about to tell me is true.”
“This is what you have now.”
“I’m empty-handed now?”
“A flash of lightning.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp murderous aura engulfed all around.
The Thousand-Sum Sword is a new technique he has mastered.
The world’s best technique that is as fast as lightning and contains the secret of not getting tired even after running for three days and nights.
Dumunrang, who was wandering the world in search of his daughter, reached the great desert of Xinjiang, where he met and learned new techniques from Seomo.
The prologue is led by Ma Mun-ryang, the King of the Sharks, one of the new kings of the Sharks.
Dumunrang walked slowly out from under the shade of the trees.
Two narrow, squinted eyes were glaring fiercely.
After a while he opened his mouth in a low voice.
“That young boy is too greedy. He didn’t know that this Myoa Mountain would become a place of death… … .”
