Chapter 61: Their Own Path

“What an arrogant man.”

Shahit said as he rose from his chair.

“Who are you to order us around like this? Do you think you have the right?”

“Did you have the right to block the river and extort money?”

Sirius retorted mercilessly.

“You have no rights to claim in this area.”

If Shahit’s gang had built a landing stage here and operated a rest stop, their right to do so would have been guaranteed.

However, these guys hadn’t done anything.

Therefore, they had no rights to guarantee.

“This is our territory. We rightfully acquired it through bloody battles.”

“Who recognized your right to it? Did the river?”

Sirius said coldly.

“Go into the river and get a certificate of confirmation, and I’ll recognize it.”

“You’re not listening.”

Shahit raised his hand.

Then, one of his aides handed a large greatsword to Shahit.

It was a greatsword with a wide blade, resembling an axe.

It was a weapon befitting her, who was larger than most men.

“It seems that further conversation is unnecessary. I shall correct the insolence of Cheonrangpyo here today.”

Her aides hurriedly stepped back.

Not to interfere with their leader’s fight… no, to avoid getting caught up in it.

“Master, we…”

“You too, step back.”

Sirius gave instructions to Allion, Vellid, and Verdian.

“You probably won’t need to step up.”

As he said that, Shahit moved.

Despite her large size, she was fast. It was as if a large rock was flying towards them.

The blade of the greatsword was already imbued with magic.

It would have enough destructive power to crush a person in one blow.

However, it was ineffective against Sirius.

“……!”

Kaboom!

The ship shook with a loud noise.

It was due to the shockwave generated when the blades clashed.

Shahit’s heavy blow was completely blocked by Sirius’s blade.

However, Shahit did not widen her eyes in surprise.

Instead, she narrowed her eyes and quickly analyzed Sirius’s abilities.

“You’re no ordinary man.”

Clang, crash!

Shahit swung her sword violently.

It was a fierce attack that didn’t care about destroying the surroundings.

As Sirius used his footwork to evade the attack, Shahit immediately raised her left hand.

Then, a magic bullet of neutral attribute burst out from there.

A magic bullet is a basic magic originally used by low-level mages.

Since they don’t have the ability to form complex magic formulas, they just shoot out a lump of魔力.

It’s a simple magic and its power is weak, but its activation speed is fast.

Shahit used this magic bullet to牽制 Sirius.

“You’re quite skilled.”

Sirius thought that Shahit fought quite well.

She didn’t just engage in close combat with a magic sword, but also used magic bullets to skillfully牽制 him from a medium distance.

Shahit possessed a considerable amount of魔力.

With this amount of魔力, even a simple magic bullet was quite powerful.

However, if one could properly anticipate the direction of her gaze, it was possible to predict where the magic bullet would fly.

“L, leader, the ship…!”

Kaboom!

A magic bullet pierced the wall, creating a hole.

Shahitt’s men were bewildered at the sight.

Fighting so roughly would break the ship.

However, Shahitt had no time to worry about such things.

He had already realized that he was fighting an opponent he had to fight with all his might.

“Haaap……!”

Shahitt drove Sirius against the wall and swung a decisive blow.

However, Sirius dodged the attack by a hair’s breadth. Shahitt’s greatsword only broke a pillar.

それでもシャヒートは攻撃の手を緩めなかった。

“Ah, Aleion, this is probably….”

“It would be better to run away quickly.”

Immediately after Velid and Aleion exchanged words.

The ceiling began to collapse with a crackling sound.

“Ack……!”

“Captain!”

Bam!

Sirius and Shahitt continued their fierce battle, not caring about the ship breaking apart.

His men screamed, but Shahitt paid no attention.

In order to subdue the young man before him, he attacked with all his might.

“How about this……!”

Crash! He charged so strongly that the wooden floor collapsed.

Sirius tried to block it head-on, but the ship tilted at that moment.

The moment he collided with Shahitt, who was charging at him, Sirius’s body was pushed back for the first time.

“Haaap!”

Shahitt pushed with all his might.

Not caring about the ship breaking apart, he tried to crush Sirius somehow.

“……!”

However, Shahitt opened his eyes wide.

That was because he realized that Sirius maintained a calm expression, even while being pushed back like this.

“Is this all?”

“……!”

Then, this time, Shahitt was pushed back.

This time, Sirius’s offensive began.

Sirius’s longsword looked small in front of Shahitt’s greatsword.

However, every time the blades clashed, Shahitt’s greatsword was knocked back. He was being overpowered.

“Ugh……!”

Shahitt hurriedly corrected his posture and tried to defend himself.

However, he felt fatigue in his arms and legs.

That was because he had used too much strength in his charge just now.

He tried to distance himself by firing a magic bullet, but this time, Sirius did not dodge.

“……!”

Clang!

Sirius swung his sword and blocked the magic bullet.

Sometimes he intercepted it by releasing a sword wind, and sometimes he cut it in two with the blade itself.

Anxiety began to appear on Shahitt’s face.

Sirius’s offensive forced Shahitt to take a step back.

Soon, she escaped to the collapsed deck.

“B-Boss!”

“How can this be……!

The surrounding subordinates also realized that Shahitt was at a disadvantage.

Some tried to jump over the ship to join her, but Shahitt stopped them.

“Don’t interfere!”

The men who had drawn their weapons hesitated.

Shahitt had noticed that their joining the fight would be of no help.

“That’s right.”

Sirius said, standing on the tilted deck.

“There’s no need to sacrifice your subordinates for nothing.”

If Shahitt were a villain, she would have summoned her subordinates and used them as meat shields.

After sacrificing her subordinates as scapegoats, she could have escaped to another ship.

The fact that she insisted on fighting one-on-one without doing so… seemed worthy of being the leader of a group.

“Whew…….”

Shahitt took a deep breath.

And glared at Sirius.

Her eyes were still alive.

“I see now. You are Sirius Canisルート.”

Sirius had never introduced himself since coming here.

However, after showing such skill, even Shahitt had to notice.

“I never expected you to come here aboard a Cheonrangpyo ship.”

“I wanted to see the river too.”

“See the river?”

“I’m on my honeymoon.”

“…….”

Shahitt blinked after hearing Sirius’s words spoken in a light tone.

“You’re quite the joker.”

Shahitt took Sirius’s words as a joke.

And she adjusted her breathing and got back into position.

She still hadn’t given up on victory.

“Hya……!”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Shahitt’s blade began to burn.

It was a magic sword of flame.

“So you were hiding such a trick. Why have you been holding back until now?”

“If I were to use fire magic in a wooden ship, even I would be in danger.”

“That is true.”

Sparks fell from the blade, setting the deck on fire.

However, Shahit ignored it and increased the firepower of the magic sword.

“It seems to be an uncommon technique. Did you develop it yourself?”

“Do I look smart enough to be able to develop magic on my own?”

“Then who did you learn it from?”

I had fought against many magic swordsmen before, but this was the first time I had seen a magic sword that burned like this.

It seemed to be an application of fire magic, but who on earth had taught Shahit this magic sword?

“Was it the Alliance?”

“……”

Shahit smiled without answering.

Then he kicked off the deck and jumped up.

Even without it, Shahit’s greatsword had a wide attack range.

With the addition of the magic sword of flame, it became possible to sweep an even wider range.

Even if Sirius defended, the bursting flames would engulf Sirius’s whole body.

“……!”

Thud!

The flaming greatsword struck Sirius.

The greatsword itself was blocked by Sirius’s longsword, but a tremendous amount of flame was released, engulfing Sirius.

Shahit poured out all his magical power.

He intended to turn Sirius into a piece of charcoal with this attack.

However… Shahit soon realized.

Even in the midst of these tremendous flames, Sirius stood unscathed.

He was not enduring the flames.

A pure white defensive barrier surrounded Sirius, completely blocking the flames.

“What… is that?”

“Sword Curtain.”

Sirius answered curtly.

“A Sword Curtain, deployed with the force of the White Wave.”

The moment the flames subsided.

Sirius moved his sword without delay.

The blade, imbued with the White Wave’s chill, pierced through the flames.

Swish!

The sword pierced Shahit’s chest.

It was a fatal wound.

“……”

With a thud, the greatsword fell to the deck.

On the burning deck, Shahit staggered backward.

“Whew…”

Shahit moved his gaze, checking the blood gushing from his chest.

His men watched Shahit’s end with wide eyes.

Shahit squeezed out his last bit of strength and left his men with these words.

“Surrender. That’s the only way to save your lives.”

And with those final words,

Shahit’s large frame collapsed sideways.

Since the ship was tilted, Shahit slid across the deck and plunged into the river.

The leader of the Shahit Pirates disappeared into the river.

“Ah…”

“aaagh!”

Sighs and screams erupted here and there.

But that wasn’t all.

Some raised their voices like evil spirits.

“Kill that bastard!”

“We must avenge our leader!”

They ignored Shahit’s last words and charged at Sirius.

How ironic.

Shahit was a man who didn’t want his men to die in vain.

But because he was such a man, his men were now rushing to avenge Shahit.

Even if it meant dying in vain.

“If you’re men of the underworld with that much loyalty, then you deserve my respect.”

Even the underworld of the martial world had their own code of honor.

If they were willing to risk their lives to avenge their respected leader, then that was their way.

As the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, Baek Moo-rang often found himself in a position to subdue the underworld, but he never looked down on those who had their own code.

On the blazing deck, Sirius raised his sword.

That was his way of showing them respect.
