Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 66

Episode 66
Everyone was looking at me with curious eyes at my sudden actions.
“What, what is it? Why is that man taking off his clothes all of a sudden?”
“Ugh. Just leave it alone. It must be hot.”
I took off all my clothes, even the ones I was wearing inside.
A situation where the upper body is completely removed.
Solid muscles, like twisted wire, were revealed.
The large and small scars visible above.
Evidence of intense training.
and…….
A pitch-black dragon covering the left shoulder.
It was an unexpected situation, but no one could stop it.
Everyone watched in silence.
I walked towards the front of Dongsimgak, leaving behind the surprised looks of Jegal So-hye and Murong A-gyeong.
Slowly, looking into each and every one of their eyes with a gaze that overlooks the world.
The red eyes of the female dragon carved into her shoulder also glared at them.
Awaken the power of the red dragon.
Hiding one’s strength and calculating things in one’s head is not what a warrior of the Beast Palace is.
It’s the same with taking a step back and planning for the future.
They are the ones who make fun of Namman and ridicule the warriors of the Beast Palace.
I should have done this a long time ago.
Finally, when I reached the very front of Dongsimgak.
Sling.
I extracted the rock salt.
In an instant, all the guys who had been watching raised their hands over their swords.
It’s only natural, since he dared to draw his sword in the middle of the martial arts alliance.
A huge, dark-colored sword.
Above it, a blazing flame blazed.
In an instant, a hellishly hot heat spread in all directions.
Dozens of people put their hands on the sword hilt, but not a single one pulled it out.
Kwajik!
Rock salt was embedded in the solid stone floor.
A huge sword made of heavy iron was planted like a flag on the battlefield.
Oh my god!
Cracks spread in all directions.
Just like the shock the guys in front of me are feeling.
There is no need to hide your strength.
I came here to show you the power of the Beast Palace.
At least for this moment, there was no other purpose.
Gooooooo.
I let out all the energy from my body.
The red fog that flowed from the entire body flowed down to the shallow floor.
Everyone froze as if they had witnessed some kind of magic.
The guys who were chattering and swearing at others were also unable to say anything.
He shouted loudly at those fools in the Central Plains.
“I am Damyeong, the warrior of the Beast Palace!”
My voice, which sounded like it had been grinding gravel, resonated through the hall.
In the heart of the Central Plains.
In the middle of the Murim Alliance, the symbol of the martial arts world.
The warrior of the Beast Palace raised his sword like a flag of victory and shouted.
The two words, ‘Yasugung’ and ‘Dammyeong’ continued to echo.
iced coffee.
My chest, which had been tightly clogged, suddenly felt relieved.
Everyone was silent, waiting for my next words.
I shouted at them again.
“Come out, you guys who want to fight! The fight starts now!”
okay…….
This is how you become a warrior of the Beast Palace!
Jegal So-hye and Murong A-gyeong are gaping in shock.
Peng Ja-ho and Dang Wi-myeong, who are making impressions as they are.
And then the Meng warriors who had been mocking Nanman and the Beast Palace until just now were seen to be silent.
And behind them, the smiling faces of Nok Seung-seo and Umochi were visible.
* * *
The Battle of Mengju.
The leader of the clan, Murong Tian, is receiving a report from the head of the clan.
It’s been a hectic few days preparing for the first event held in Maeng in a long time.
Of course, I should have shown up at the banquet that was supposed to be held by now, but I was a little late because I had to take care of some urgent matters.
After receiving the final report, I plan to head to Dongsimgak.
“Namgung Se-ga will arrive tomorrow.”
Namgung Yu-bin, the grandson of the head of the household, Namgung Yu-baek, is now only thirteen years old.
Attending a banquet would be burdensome, so I’ll arrive in time for the martial arts competition.
If he hadn’t been so young, he would have been able to become a match for Baekgajang Sogaju.
We received word that the owner of the house, Namgung Yoo Baek, would not be attending.
“And Baek Ga-Jang has told me that he is scheduled to arrive on the last day of the martial arts competition.”
Yongbongjihoe is a place where people of similar rank can get to know each other and show off their skills.
A meeting that would not be of much interest to Baek Moo-gyeom, who had already reached his peak at a young age.
I guess I’ll arrive around the time the tournament ends and just take home the title of winner.
He thought that would happen to him too.
Until I heard the news that Dammyeong of the Beast Palace had burned and killed Gilpiljong, the Seven Blood Demon Sword.
‘That would be fun… … .’
The report continued.
“The North Sea Ice Palace may be significantly delayed.”
“Why not? I’m sure we left with plenty of time to spare.”
“Ah, that’s because the princess stopped by for a moment because she really wanted to see the Baekmasa Temple in Luoyang… … .”
He forgot his promise to attend the Yongbong branch meeting and is now sightseeing.
It was only natural that he would be upset by the behavior of taking the Yongbong branch meeting lightly, even though it was not an event, but the leader, Mo Yongcheon, did not react at all.
‘I think you said it was a nine-syllable syllable? You said that this trip to the Central Plains also reflected the Princess’ strong will. Tsk tsk. There must be a lot of things she wants to do and see. The Princess’s heart must be heavy.’
The princess of the North Sea Ice Palace, who was said to be the best in the world at handling yin energy, died young because she could not handle the overflowing yin energy.
I heard that they tried every possible means and method, but were unable to free the nine blocked blood vessels.
He had managed to suppress it with strong elixirs he had collected from various places in the Central Plains, but now even that was no longer enough.
“No matter what the schedule, he is an important guest of Maeng. Make sure you prepare accordingly.”
“All right.”
“Are you treating the guests from Nanman well?”
“It’s time to attend a banquet with other followers at Dongsimgak. Many of the young warriors of the Murim Alliance are also present, so they’ll probably be exchanging greetings.”
In fact, the lord’s greatest interest was a man named Dam-myeong who came from the Beast Palace.
‘I have to meet him first. Then I can know for sure what kind of person he is.’
At that moment, a member of the crowd burst open the door and rushed in.
“Your Majesty! I think you should go to Dongsimgak right now.”
“Oh my. What are you doing making such a fuss about? Why are you daring to open the door and barge in without making a sound in the presence of the leader?”
The leader of the party asked the host family leader with a gesture.
“Dongsimgak? There must be a banquet going on right now. What on earth is going on?”
“That, that is causing a ruckus.”
“Oh my. This is the middle of the Murim Alliance. And who would dare cause trouble at the Yongbongjihoe’s banquet?”
“Actually, it’s not a riot, but if anyone wants to fight, come forward… … .”
“Oh, you’re young. But still. Tomorrow is the martial arts competition, and I can’t wait another day. So who is that guy?”
“That, that is Dam-myeong from the Namman Beast Palace.”
Murim leader Murong Cheon suddenly stood up from his seat.
* * *
Silence flowed through the concentric circle.
“What a disappointment.”
This is the Murim Alliance.
Besides, this is a banquet where talented reviewers gather.
We must not just tolerate the provocations of the barbarians whom we so disregard.
But contrary to my expectations, no one came forward.
They were busy looking at each other, only raising their hands on the hilts of their swords and flinching.
“There you are. Don’t look back. That’s you.”
“Me, me? Why, why but?”
“Didn’t you say you would nominate me for the match tomorrow?”
“Well, that’s because the rain starts tomorrow… … .”
Those guys who are only noisy with their snouts.
I walked slowly towards the guy who was talking about being a skinning savage earlier.
And then he put his hand on the guy’s shoulder.
I felt a slight tremor.
He lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
“Is our Murim Alliance friend a coward?”
“Ah, how dare you call me, a man from the Jincheon Swordsman family, a coward?”
I can tell you’re a coward because you can’t even make eye contact with me.
“Don’t worry, I won’t peel your skin. How about it? The honor of being the first to face the uncivilized barbarians who came all the way from the South?”
“… … .”
As expected, you’re a coward.
Everyone here is a guy who has heard that he is talented in some way.
I’m sure you’ve had enough training.
So, anyone can do something like sticking a sword into a stone floor.
So the reason they are looking at each other now is not because they are overwhelmed by my inaction.
He is literally a coward.
Not the power of mere savages, but of cowards who fear failure.
He muttered as he turned around.
“You’re all cowards… … .”
As I was about to turn around, I heard a familiar voice.
“I will deal with you, uncivilized savages. Don’t even think about running away now.”
Of course, it is Pengjaho of Habuk Pengga.
“The wound on the ground probably hasn’t healed yet?”
He opened his mouth and looked at others, perhaps feeling that he would be at a loss if he talked to me.
“Anyway, since this is the Murim Alliance, I will yield the turn to the first warrior of the Alliance. I, Peng Zihou, will go last.”
When I ask how the stab wound is, you’re talking about something else.
Does coming out at the end mean you want me to be exhausted, or do you want to come out at a dramatic moment?
It doesn’t matter.
Whether it’s the first or the last.
“By the way, did you get the bear skin?”
“… … .”
“I don’t know if I’m stupid or shameless to forget the promise I made with my own mouth.”
The warriors of the Murim Alliance, who did not know English, were gossiping about the bear skin.
Anyway, Peng Zhao stepped forward as the non-combatant opponent.
The tense atmosphere suddenly changed and several people stood up from their seats.
“You uncivilized savage. Do you know where this is? I will stake the honor of the Murim Alliance on you and throw you to the floor of the stage.”
“I’ll go first. I can’t stand seeing a stupid savage relying only on his strength.”
“Know that you can’t walk back to Namman.”
The number of guys who came out to fight was six.
Including Pengzaho.
Among cowards, the ones with the most courage.
For example, should we say that among the ugly kids, they are the ones who are relatively handsome?
Guys who believe that raising their voices will give them courage they never had before.
He shouted at them.
“It’s noisy!”
My voice, which sounded like it had been grinding gravel, resonated widely throughout the neighborhood.
“Stop talking and follow me to the stage!”
* * *
The distance from Maengjujeon to Dongsimgak can be reached in one meal even if you walk slowly.
But now, Mo Yongcheon was running while unfolding his new method.
If you count the crowd of people gathered there and the crowd of people, it comes to nearly a hundred.
It’s just a disturbance by one person, so there’s no way anything bad will happen.
So, I don’t run because I’m worried that an accident might happen.
It’s the anxiety that the fun might be over before you get there.
“Where is everyone?”
Dongsimgak, which we arrived at in a hurry, was empty.
In the huge room, there are only empty glasses lying around.
“I think everyone has gone outside. Where the stage is set up. Dam-myeong said to rush in. Towards all the later index members and the martial arts alliance members.”
“This is crazy… … .”
As I was about to hurry out, something caught my eye.
The floor was split in all directions, as if a giant dragon had clawed at it.
‘What on earth are you doing? In a place where all the Jeongpa’s later index and the Moorim Alliance’s warriors are gathered.’
I hurried towards the stage.
It was originally a stage created for free competition.
It is welcome to see young, passionate warriors testing each other’s martial arts skills.
What’s concerning is that the guy named Dammyeong of the Beast Palace is provoking everyone.
‘No matter how great he is, it’s hard to take on multiple people. If we’re not careful, our plan to establish a relationship with the Beast Palace will be disrupted. And Baek Ga Jang hasn’t even arrived yet. Sigh.’
At that moment, the host who was running ahead stopped and pointed somewhere.
“My lord. Hey, over there… … .”
I squinted my eyes and turned my gaze there.
In the distance, I could see a stage surrounded by people.
It was so quiet that it was hard to believe that this was the place where a fierce battle was taking place.
I flew up onto the stage in one step.
“grandfather!”
He heard his granddaughter, Mo Yong-ah-kyung’s voice from under the stage, but he didn’t even turn his head.
It looks like there have already been several fights.
One of the guys who had just come up onto the stage and was aiming his sword at Dam-myeong froze when he saw himself.
“Yes, my lord.”
Looks familiar.
Maybe it was the Sungmu Swordsmanship?
A guy who has already been recognized for his talents at a young age and is already being mentioned as a potential next big thing.
“What happened? The rain was supposed to start tomorrow, right?”
“Ah, that’s because the author of the Beast Palace provoked everyone during the banquet, so there was nothing we could do… … .”
“so?”
“Even though he was a new guest, I couldn’t just stand by and watch him ignore Maeng’s orders.”
“That’s not it. I’m asking about the results of the non-combat.”
The guy hesitated and couldn’t answer.
Instead, Mo Yong-ah-kyung answered from under the stage.
“This is the fifth time that Maeng-ui’s unmanned team has come up. The next one to come up will be the last one for Ha-buk-pang-ga’s So-ga-ju.”
In the end, it means that all four young warriors of the Murim Alliance lost.
This guy is the fifth now.
Turned back.
A huge man with his upper body exposed stood there, holding a large greatsword in his hand.
With a smile on his lips.
“I am Murong Cheon, the leader of the martial arts world. Are you Dammyeong?”
My first impression was that he was very large.
It felt like coming face to face with a wild bear.
‘No, rather than a bear, I should say a tiger with hidden claws. No, that’s not it either. It’s more like… … .’
Mo Yong-cheon looked at him carefully once again.
A figure standing alone on the red fog flowing on the floor.
As if I was hovering above the clouds, looking down on the whole world… … .
“Dam-myeong. Dam-myeong of the Beast Palace.”
A young, unmanned drone who is not yet twenty years old.
He was looking down at himself, the leader of the martial arts world.
‘Ah. It’s a dragon… … .’
