Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 91
Only Noblemtl
I saw something moving over the ridge in the distance. Episode 91
Behind the flames, where they had already died down, the Blood Demons and Wall Demons were chasing us like a swarm of ants.
There is no way back for us now.
Hundreds of bloodthirsty demons are waiting for us in front of us.
These guys have been through hot fire, so they are definitely stronger than the others.
Moreover, as the fire died down little by little, their number continued to increase.
In comparison, all the warriors of Namcheon Damdong were exhausted.
There was not a single person who was uninjured.
In particular, my father, who had been at the forefront of fighting the Blood Cult guys, was already in shambles.
Dozens of wounds, including a sword stab wound on his left shoulder, appeared serious at first glance.
I too unleashed all my dragon power.
Now is the time to fight with only my own strength.
“Step back! Who will lead Namcheon Damdong without you?”
My father shouted at me as I ran alongside him.
“Well, then why are you trying to get over that troublesome situation already?”
The moment my father was about to open his mouth to say something, Nok Seung-seo’s voice was heard from behind.
I told him to follow me closely, but he kept chasing me even on the way to his death.
“Dongju, it’s ridiculous that this guy Dammyeong is taking the position of Dongju of Namcheon Damdong.”
As expected, Nok Seung-seo.
Tell him clearly that I am not yet qualified to take the position of Dongju.
My father’s thick eyebrows twitched as he ran forward, holding a huge sword in his hand.
But Nok Seung-seo paid no attention and continued talking.
“Shouldn’t this guy Dam-myeong ascend to the throne of the Beast King? So, Dong-ju must continue to lead Namcheon Dam-dong.”
His father thought about his words for a moment, then nodded and answered.
“Did you say Nok Seung-seo? Our Myeong-i has a good friend.”
And then he turned his gaze towards the bloody wall in front and continued speaking.
“Then let’s all three of us clear the way together.”
Then a voice is heard from behind.
“Dongju, what path will you take with these young guys? Come with me. Whether you live or die.”
Iron Age Lord Kwak Deung-un.
Contrary to his dismissive remarks calling us kids, the look in his eyes as he looked at me and Nok Seung-seo was warm.
Perhaps they saw their past selves in us.
Because before he became a great lord, he was like my father’s real brother.
The friend who grew up with him since childhood became the Dongju of Namcheon Damdong, and he himself became his shadow and looked at the same place.
Now I plan to face death with you.
“Father, and Lord Cheolyeongdae. I think Namcheon Damdong is now receiving the reward for sticking to the right path and living his life.”
The two people looked at each other as if wondering what was going on.
He pointed to a place with his finger without answering.
A small hill located beyond the bloodthirsty mines that await us.
From beyond, a loud, timely cry was heard.
Khuu …
The roar of a beast suddenly heard on the battlefield!
A tiger as big as a house appeared on the hill.
Mountain army!
A Gwisu Bangdong who handles all kinds of wild beasts in Namman.
Dongjuin Bang Myeong-haeng was running down, shoulder to shoulder with Sangun.
Hundreds of wild beasts appeared after that.
Dozens of tigers roaring along with the mountain army.
A herd of bears running wild, seemingly pushing away everything in sight.
And packs of leopards and wolves baring their fierce fangs.
Birds of prey flying leisurely above, searching for prey.
Kwaaaaak!
Everyone was howling as if they were chasing away the enemies who had invaded their territory.
“Go! Go and bite off necks and tear off limbs. Show your power to the enemies who invaded this land!”
The beasts of Guisubangdong rush forward without fear.
At this moment, he is more powerful than hundreds of warriors.
Namcheon Damdong’s Dongju Dammuheun and Cheolyeongdaeju Gwak Deungun.
And me and Nok Seung-seo.
Kuuung!
The four of us stepped on the ground at the same time and flew up.
Oh! Of course, including tofu, it’s five.

Beast Palace.
The fighting paused for a moment.
We were now gathered in a wide open space in front of the gates of the Beast Palace.
I can’t leave the battlefield because I don’t know when those bastards will come back.
Was it a reward for creating a huge flame that spread across the battlefield?
Or was it because the warriors of Namcheon Damdong, who thought they had completely isolated the enemy, cut off hundreds of the heads of the Byeolkkeulma and escaped the battlefield?
Anyway, the fierce battle came to a halt for a moment as the Blood Demons retreated at the order of the Blood Cult Leader.
The green meadows were dyed red, and corpses were piled up like mountains.
Most of them were corpses of Blood Demons, but there were also quite a few Beast Archer warriors.
Roughly three-tenths of a warrior lay down here.
But not a single warrior escaped from the overwhelming force of enemies.
“Thank you, Gwisoobangdongju!”
“No. Rather, I am the one who feels sorry. If it weren’t for the guys I met on the way to the palace, I would have gotten there faster… … .”
On his way to the Beast Palace, he encountered blood demons who were slaughtering people everywhere.
I couldn’t just sit by and watch those bastards tear out the hearts of the living and drink their blood.
The reason for the delay in the arrival of Gwisubangdong.
“No. I would have done the same.”
It is certainly my fault for creating the path, but Gwisoo Bangdong played a big role in making me stray from that path.
But the two Dongjus’ expressions were dark.
There were a total of thirty-three warriors from Namcheon Damdong who did not return.
Gwisubangdong also lost a considerable number of warriors and wild beasts.
The problem is that an overwhelming number of Blood Demons still remain outside the Beast Palace.
And there are still true masters of the Blood Cult who have not yet been deployed to the battlefield.
Monsters who do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves or absorb other people’s energy in order to become stronger.
Compared to that, the Demonic Cult that emphasizes self-respect can be called a sect.
“If there is another battle, it will be difficult.”
My uncle opened his mouth to my father.
“What should I do?”
“I guess I should get a hair cut… … .”
The only way to end this war.
Killing the blood cult leader.
“Let me take a look at them first.”
When Gwisoo Bangdongju nodded to Sodongju Bang Yakjin, he quietly closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes a little later, the black pupils were gone and only the whites of my eyes remained.
And then his head moved as if he was looking at something in empty space.
“I’m observing the battlefield through Chihyo. I’m an owl that’s subordinate to my brother.”
A familiar voice comes from behind.
When I looked back, she was there.
Two large eyes under thick eyebrows.
Red, plump lips.
The woman who gave me a connection with tofu.
“Bangyakran. It’s been a while.”
Nok Seung-seo also gave a brief greeting with a nod.
We celebrated our farewell together.
They all received great impressions.
“I saw the two of you in action earlier. What on earth happened in the Central Plains? One of you was spitting out flames from your sword, and the other one was moving like lightning. Did you two fall off a cliff or something?”
“It’s not something you should be saying, with ten fortune tellers. By the way, the priestess and the old man’s condition is… … .”
“Ah. The priestess was just a little surprised, and Master Mujinbaek hasn’t come to his senses yet. He’ll wake up soon, since the priestess is taking care of him.”
Of course, you will shake it off and get up soon.
Because Nosa is a strong person.
“Anyway, I heard that you and your fortune tellers were a great help. The lives of the priestess and the old man were almost in danger.”
“No. I was just lucky. After Master Mujinbaek beheaded nine of the blood demons, the remaining one was badly wounded.”
However, the fact remains that Bang Yak-ran saved their lives.
They are people who are especially precious to me.
He looked straight into her eyes and said.
“Thank you, Yakran. When the war is over, I’ll visit Gwisubangdong. Then… … .”
The moment her large eyes looked at me, waiting for my next words.
Bang Yak-jin, who was observing the battlefield through the eagle owl, opened his mouth.
Both eyes still show only the whites of the eyes.
“Hmm. There’s a man who looks like the leader of the blood cult sitting on a large chair on top of the hill. And there are about a hundred people wearing red robes around him.”
Blood Sect Leader Gokcheonjin has risen to the position of absolute master with the Blood Sect’s secret sword technique, the Blood Demon Soul Sword.
A peerless swordsmanship that earned him the nickname Blood Demon.
“Aside from being chewed, Gokcheonjin can’t be ignored.
He cut out the hearts of a thousand people to complete his Blood Demon Soul Sword.
That too, the heart of a living person.
“Dealing with the Blood Cult Leader would be a problem, but approaching him would be even more difficult.”
The red robed masters that Bang Yak-jin mentioned are clearly bloodthirsty.
The leader’s bodyguard, consisting of one hundred of the cult’s highest ranking members.
They never leave their leader’s side no matter what happens.
“What we have to do is… … .”
Dammu-gun opened his mouth.
“After breaking through the thousands of blood demons you see over there and facing the hundred best masters protecting the cult leader, I will cut off the head of the absolute master, Gok Cheon-jin!”
I’m not saying it’s impossible.
He says he will achieve it no matter what.
But it’s not easy.
Even if I regain my energy and open the way to get there, not many people will eventually get there.
No matter how powerful the Red Dragon is, the flames will eventually die down.
“That’s the only way. If you can get close, you can kill them.”
My uncle is right.
If I open the way, and my uncle and father run with all the warriors of the Beast Palace, we can reach that hill.
If you do nothing, you die.
Even if you move according to plan, you will die.
If so, there is only one conclusion.
A warrior of the Beast Palace is not one who sits still and waits for his day to die.
At that moment, a noise was heard in the forest behind the Beast Palace.
Everyone looked back and saw that the remaining troops from Paldong were arriving late.
Judging by the wounds here and there, it seems like he came from a battle with the Blood Demons scattered here and there.
The moment I thought it was fortunate that one warrior had been lost.
“Ah, ah. Sorry I’m late. I was a little late because I was cleaning up the blood demons around here.”
Jin Cheol-seung, the master of Changcheonjindongju, stepped forward and opened his mouth.
After that, the figure of Yeongpungmo Dongju following him was also seen.
That’s a lie.
Your clothes are too clean to have been used against blood demons.
Surely, somewhere far away, someone must have been watching the warriors of the Beast Palace fall.
If the Beast Palace had collapsed, each person would have returned to their own house and locked the door.
A bunch of trash who are both cowardly and stupid.
Everyone who looked at them was filled with contempt.
If it weren’t for the unfortunate loss of one warrior, my uncle and father would have fought and threatened to kill each other.
Besides, Changcheonjindongju had attacked me using the Red Cloud Gap as an excuse during Mansu Sik.
“hmm…….”
My father’s hand, which had been holding the sword hilt, returned to its original position with difficulty.
I’m sure you have a lot to say, but now is not the time for us to argue among ourselves.
It’s time to end this war.
“I will open the way!”
“The flames you showed me were truly great, but the Blood Lord is too far away. The flames will surely die down before we reach him.”
That’s right.
If enough warriors don’t get to that hill, it’s meaningless.
Maybe it’s possible… … .
I could tell instinctively after I poured out the Red Dragon’s flames earlier.
If you pull everything out, ready to risk your life, you can burst out once more.
Of course, you have to be prepared to collapse in the middle of the battlefield from exhaustion.
“Maybe… … . Twice would be possible.”
After that, he never said anything about losing consciousness and collapsing.
Because this is the only way for us.
I must somehow send my father and uncle, the best warriors of the Beast Palace, to the Blood Cult Leader.
Of course, the Iron Heroes of the Beast Palace and the Iron Youngs of the Namcheon Damdong are also included.
I don’t know how long I’ll survive until I get to the top of that hill.
My uncle shook his head as if he had seen my solemn determination and answered.
“If you can unleash that great flame twice, you can definitely reach the hill. But what about you, Myung? How can someone who unleashed that much power twice be intact?”
“I’ll figure it out somehow… … .”
At that moment, my father cut me off and spoke firmly.
“No. Are you saying that you will risk your life to open the way? Brother, there must be another way.”
At that moment, Changcheonjin Dongju, who had been quietly listening from behind, intervened.
“Dam Danju, let’s do that. You said you would open the way. That’s what a warrior of the Beast Palace should do. Wouldn’t it be an honor for warriors like us to die as a hero who protected the South?”
“what!”
My father jumped up from his seat and half-pulled his sword.
The moment the atmosphere started to turn tense.
“I will open the way!”
A voice long forgotten.
That voice I thought I would never hear again.
Everyone stood up and looked back.
