Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 95



Only Noblemtl

I lost consciousness feeling the tofu rubbing on my face. Episode 95

A time when I was alive in a previous life.

It’s not like I haven’t dealt with enemies who use sorcery.

All kinds of bizarre monsters popped out of the fantasy.

My throat was cut and blood gushed from my heart, but I never wavered once.

Because I knew that it was all an illusion created by witchcraft.

I kept committing murder without any emotion.

A dry life where one does not show affection to anyone and only endures for survival.

Gyarrur.

The tofu in my arms squirmed.

Warm warmth.

Alive.

I knew that the sight of Tofu’s decapitated head was an illusion.

It was clear that the guy who was dyed red with blood wouldn’t turn white so quickly.

He is not a tofu who would disobey my firm order to stay still.

But I was shaken.

In my head, I was telling myself that everything I saw was a lie.

But the moment I witnessed the scene where Tofu’s neck was cut off.

I was so angry that I thought my heart would burst.

A strong murderous intent was gushing out.

Now I feel truly alive… … .

The last strike that Gokcheonjin made was blocked by the black scales that were placed on my chest.

These are the scales of the black dragon that nothing in the world can penetrate.

If I had delayed the death of Seol Seol-rin of the North Sea Ice Palace, the black phosphorus she gifted me would have saved my life.

I guess I should at least say thank you next time we meet.

And the power of the red eyes.

An Gong, who gave me the name Hong An Gui in my previous life.

As a result of struggling while trapped in an illusion created by the Blood Cult Leader’s sorcery, he regained the power of Hongan.

The ability to show the optimal path to pierce the opponent’s heart with a red line.

The final stage of the dark soul.

Of course, there may be a next level that I haven’t reached yet.

The secret of the dark soul that I had obtained was a hastily scribbled manuscript, but the latter part was missing.

Perhaps the final state of the dark soul is in that part.

Something tremendous beyond the power of Hong-an.

The Blood Cult, having lost its leader, quickly collapsed.

To begin with, the Blood Cult is closer to a religious group than a sect.

What meaning can be found in this war when their leader, Gok Cheon-jin, is dead?

Of the ten thousand Blood Horsemen who first set foot on the land of the Southern Man, only three thousand survived.

A tremendous victory in which only about 1,500 warriors killed 7,000 people.

Of course, in return, more than half of the warriors of the Beast Palace lost their lives.

He chased the fleeing blood demons to the end and beheaded them.

They are people who should not have existed in the first place.

“Not a single one should be sent away alive!”

Despite his uncle’s abstract orders, their numbers were still large and the warriors of the Beast Palace were all exhausted.

Most of them left the southern bay and headed north.

I don’t know how long I’ll survive until I reach Mt. Giryeon where I originally stayed.

There were quite a few blood demons hiding in Namman.

My uncle gave orders to find and kill those bastards as his top priority.

They say that what we need to protect is people, not the land.

“The Beast King is looking for you.”

My uncle’s voice was dark.

Regardless of the victory, too many warriors shed their blood on this land.

And the Beast King Jinjungak… … .

“How are you?”

My uncle shook his head.

It means there isn’t much time left.

Although I was the one who killed Gokcheonjin, it was the Beast King who dealt with the Bloodthirsty Army that was with him.

Of course, Nok Seung-seo and Bang Yak-ran also played a bigger role than expected.

The Beast King was badly wounded in exchange for sending dozens of Bloodthirsty men back to Hell.

It would be strange for an ordinary warrior to even be breathing.

This might be the last time I see him… … .

* * *

A piece of red.

This is where the Beast King resides.

Squeak.

The door opened.

It was the same as when I first met him.

The white hair covering her shoulders was disheveled.

The large fist that had been spewing flames just a moment ago had reverted back to the old man’s fist.

His whole body was covered in wounds.

The king of this land was dying on a great throne.

The people gathered were his uncle, his five brothers, and a priestess.

Everyone has a gloomy expression.

Jin Jung-ak opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Ji, Jinbaek, I don’t see that guy.”

Mujinbaek Nosa.

A veteran warrior who fought alongside the Beast King on the battlefield until his left arm was cut off.

But at this moment of death, he is just a dear friend whom I miss.

The priestess came closer and whispered.

“He is still unconscious, but he will wake up soon. After all, he is none other than Mujinbaek.”

I heard that you always ran in front with the Beast King.

If he hadn’t lost consciousness while protecting the priestess, he would have certainly done so during the final battle.

He survived with his left arm cut off and survived numerous near-death experiences.

I’m sure you’ll shake it off and get up soon.

“So, everyone is here except Jinbaek? And Dammyeong?”

“I regained consciousness a little while ago and came here.”

“Thank goodness. Truly fortunate. Knock knock, knock knock.”

Jin Jung-ak’s breathing is so precarious that it seems like it might stop at any moment.

After a long time of trying to calm his heavy breathing, he opened his mouth.

“Cheolseung… … .”

Surprisingly, the first person he called was his son.

Jin Cheol-seung, the owner of Changcheonjindong.

“Yes, Father. I am here.”

He was clearly told to take the lead, but soon after the charge began, he disappeared.

And then after all the fighting was over, he came back with a body without a single wound.

He said that he was fighting so mindlessly that he fell behind in the ranks.

He said that he barely managed to return alive after beheading countless blood demons, but no one believed him.

Yeongpung Modongju, who had been at the forefront, was found dead far away from the line.

He ran away and was found with his back cut with a knife, as if he was dead.

“Chulseung-ah. Hey, come closer… … .”

But a blood bond that cannot be broken.

No matter how bad a child is, a child is still a child.

“Yes, father. I am here. Everyone is listening, so if you have anything to say, please say it now.”

Jin Cheol-seung bowed his head to the Beast Palace, which seemed as if it would stop breathing at any moment.

His face was flushed, as if he was anticipating the next Beast King’s seat.

At that moment.

Kkwaduk.

The wrinkled hands of the Beast King Jin Jung-ak grabbed Jin Cheol-seung’s neck.

“Ugh. Ah, no, why all of a sudden… … . Ugh.”

It’s unbelievable that this is the strength of a dying old man.

Jin Cheol-seung tried to free himself with both hands, but the hand holding his neck would not let go.

“You bastard! And you can still call yourself the Dongju of the Paldong? Aren’t you ashamed of the name of the warrior of the Beast Palace?”

A voice so loud that it made the enemy’s chambers rattle.

“Keeeek. Keeek.”

Jin Cheol-seung groaned as if he was about to lose his breath, but no one in the room moved.

After a while, Jin Jung-ak slowly released his hand.

Still hesitating as if he still has regrets.

dump.

Jin Jung-ak muttered as he looked at his son, who was sitting on the floor and groaning.

“Ah, I’m so embarrassed… … .”

He squeezed his eyes shut.

He arrived at the Beast Palace late, saying that his only son wanted to live alone.

He, who should have been at the forefront, fled the battlefield, leaving behind the warriors who were fighting with their lives at stake.

It’s a shame for everyone.

But the current Beast King is probably ashamed of himself.

That he could not cut off his blood ties from the position of king leading the Beast Palace.

I couldn’t twist the neck of the cowardly warrior who turned his back on the battlefield because he was my only son…

The Beast King opened his eyes wide and said.

“I command the Iron Troop Commander!”

“yes!”

My uncle stepped forward and answered.

“From today, Changcheonjindong is no longer part of the Paldong family. All land and property owned by the family will be transferred to the Beast Palace, and all status enjoyed as Paldong will be revoked.”

“I will follow your orders.”

Jin Cheol-seung’s face turned pale.

“Ah, no, father… … .”

The Beast King interrupted him and continued speaking.

“And one more thing! The name Changcheonjindong will never be mentioned in Paldong again for the next hundred years.”

It’s like he’s abolished his own family.

This is the message that the Beast King is sending to all the families of the Nanman.

A family that has lost its warrior pride cannot exist in this land.

“All of you, come closer.”

All the Dongju, including the father of Namcheon Damdongju, gathered and knelt before him.

This may be our last meeting.

The Beast King looked at each of them one by one and then opened his mouth.

“… … It was possible because you guys were there.”

The power to protect the South does not come only from the Beast Palace.

The eight guardians who have protected the palace for a long time must come together to achieve full strength.

“Especially you, Dammuheun… … .”

Father knelt down and bowed his head.

“Dammuhun, the leader of Namcheon Damdong, listens to the words of the Beast King!”

The Beast King placed his hand on his father’s head and opened his mouth.

“You must have had a hard time leading this difficult position.”

My father’s shoulders were shaking.

He had silently endured the pressure to bring in the women of the Central Plains and come down from Paldong.

And proved it to himself.

That he is a warrior greater than anyone else.

And that it is a family superior to any other family in the South.

“Namcheon Damdong has clearly demonstrated the strength and will that a Beast Palace warrior should possess. He was truly amazing. Cool.”

He ran towards the enemies at the forefront and remained on the battlefield until the very end.

Among the eight groups, the one that showed the most outstanding performance was definitely Namcheon Damdong.

That fact cannot be denied by anyone present here now.

“You have raised the warriors of the family very well. It is all thanks to you, Dongjuin.”

My father had his head down and was unable to answer.

As the head of a family that supports the Beast Palace, it is not an easy task to be recognized by the Beast King.

My father wanted to live as an honorable warrior of the Beast Palace.

Now that your hard work has been recognized, how can you not be moved?

“… … It is only natural for a warrior with eight arms to follow the Beast Palace.”

The Beast King looked at his father, who had his head bowed, for a long time.

With warm eyes, as if looking at one’s own well-raised child.

The look in my uncle’s eyes as he watched from the side was also like that.

After a while, the Beast King continued speaking.

“And that guy… … .”

The Beast King lifted his trembling hand with difficulty and pointed at me.

“You have truly raised a great son. He is a blessing not only to the Namcheon Damdong but also to the Beast Palace and the entire Namman. If that child had not existed… … .”

Everyone in the room turned their attention to me.

In the final battle with the Blood Cult, everyone watched as I ripped out Gokcheonjin’s heart.

Not only the Dongju of Paldong, but all the warriors on the battlefield.

I can’t say that it was I who led the war to victory.

But everyone will have to admit that I have accomplished something that no one else could.

A huge flame spread across the battlefield.

Blood demons melting away while engulfed in flames.

The sight of him risking his life to fight against the Blood Cult Leader.

And the moment he raised his heart high and shouted our victory.

All of this will remain in your memory.

Perhaps because of that, the gazes looking at me were filled with awe.

Those eyes, as if looking at the Beast King.

My father and uncle’s faces were a mixture of pride and dignity.

“The other person, come here too.”

The two brothers of Namcheon Damdong stood side by side in front of the Beast King.

“From now on, the two of you will have a big role to play. It will be a difficult position to handle alone. Besides, aren’t you still young?”

It’s a position that’s difficult to endure alone.

My father and uncle looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

The same goes for other comrades.

“It means that I want you to protect that child well even after he ascends to the throne of the Beast King.”

A moment of silence flows through the room.

The Beast King? Me?

I always thought that one day I would ascend to the throne of the Beast King.

Because it was meant to be.

But I didn’t know that moment would pass so quickly.

“Yes, I will do so.”

My father and uncle answered at the same time.

As if it were a natural thing.

The other eight-legged brothers were no different.

I hesitated, not knowing what to say, and then I met the priestess’ eyes.

She, who was watching the situation from a distance, smiled happily at me.

The eyes of everyone gathered here were telling me this.

I am the new king of this land.
