◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

 

I was momentarily stunned by this insane situation, but survival instincts kicked in immediately.

“No, that son of a bitch!!!”

I roared, glaring at Go Seok-sam’s back.

“You fucking bastard! Where do you think you’re going?! Get back here!”

This crazy trolling asshole abandoned his comrade mid-battle and ran away?!

“You son of a bitch! Come back!!!”

I yelled at the top of my lungs, but Go Seok-sam didn’t stop.

No, he seemed to be running even faster.

Using me as a sacrifice to save his own skin!

I swear I’ll kill that bastard!

“Ushwiiik!”

“Ushishit!”

About half of the Soseonggwis initially chased after Go Seok-sam, but then turned around and charged back towards me. They decided it was better to attack the lone target.

“Damn it!!”

Because of that, I was completely surrounded. All the Soseonggwis were rushing me. If I had to fight them all alone, my chances were…!

“Go Seok-sam, you fucking asshole! Come back here now!”

Whoosh!

There was no other choice.

I ran, following the path Go Seok-sam had taken.

“Come back here, you son of a bitch!”

“Uwaaaagh!”

The Soseonggwis pursued me, and Go Seok-sam fled. Could I catch up to him? But there were too many Soseonggwis…!

“Ushwiiik!”

“Shiik!”

Finally, the Soseonggwis that had caught up attacked me from both sides.

Slash!

Their sharp claws ripped the threads of my clothes.

“That goddamn bastard!”

I swung my tagu bong to keep them at bay and kicked out like I was kicking a soccer ball, but due to my unstable posture, all my attacks missed.

“Ushwiiik!”

Taking advantage of the opening, other Soseonggwis jumped on my back and started pulling my hair.

“Uwaaagh!”

My hair, damn it!

“Go Seok-sam, you fucking bastard! Come back! Help me! Uwaaagh!”

Thud!

I immediately threw myself to the ground, performing a forward roll.

“Ushik?!”

I crushed the Soseonggwi clinging to me with my weight and quickly got up to run. This was really bad. I couldn’t do this alone!

I had to go after Go Seok-sam!

“Go Seok-sam, you bastard! Stop!”

“Huff, huff!”

“Stop running and fight!”

Go Seok-sam, who wasn’t in good shape to begin with, started to stagger from exhaustion.

That damn bastard!

If he had the energy to run, he should use it to fight!

Thump!

Finally, Go Seok-sam collapsed, and I ran to where he fell.

“Hey! Get up!”

“Huff, huff!”

He sounded like he was about to die.

He had collapsed from exhaustion.

“Ushwiiik!”

“Shishit!”

I was getting winded too. But the Soseonggwis weren’t going to give us a break. They chased us relentlessly, intent on killing us.

My partner was a useless piece of shit, and there were too many enemies.

So I…

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

I screamed like a shrieking monster and recoiled. My scream startled the Soseonggwis, causing them to hesitate momentarily, and then…

“Ushwiiik!”

“Ushishit!”

They started to attack the collapsed Go Seok-sam.

“Uh, uh, aagh! Help! Help me!”

Go Seok-sam, finally coming to his senses, screamed for help and struggled.

I hadn’t intended for this to happen.

But he ran away first.

Anger and hatred welled up inside me.

“Kyaagh! Help, help! Aagh!”

“Should’ve fought back, you bastard!”

“Aagh!”

Completely distracted, the Soseonggwis began to bite Go Seok-sam. In other words, all their aggro was focused on him. In the meantime, I quickly recovered my breath, and then, on the back of the Soseonggwis’ heads who were frantically attacking Go Seok-sam…

Whack! Whack!

I brought my club down, crushing their skulls.

“Full Power!”

I couldn’t win alone.

But with a meat shield? It was doable. The Soseonggwis were currently preoccupied with Go Seok-sam.

“Go Seok-sam! If you don’t want to die, get up and fight!”

“Gasp, gasp…!”

My words seemed to bring him back to his senses somewhat, but he was still exhausted. He managed to reach out and push the Soseonggwis away. But that was all he could do.

But it was enough.

Whack!

While Go Seok-sam served as a meat shield, I diligently smashed the Soseonggwis’ heads.

“Kyeik?!”

“Ukkiik?!”

I unleashed all my rage against Go Seok-sam on them, beating them to death!

“Die! Die, you bastards!”

I literally beat the Soseonggwis like a madman. If they clung to me, I threw them off; if they were on the ground, I kicked them with all my might. And while I was at it, I kept smashing their heads with my staff technique.

“Ushiik…!”

I saw the Soseonggwis, having lost their comrades, backing away in fear.

Alright.

Finally, their spirits were broken!

“Kraaaaaaaaaaah!”

Everything was a battle of momentum. To instill fear in the Soseonggwis, I grabbed one of them.

“Ushwiiik?!”

I grabbed its long tail and swung it like a flail!

Whoosh!

And slammed it into another one!

Splat!

“Keeek!”

Imagine a giant appearing and grabbing one of your comrades by the ankles, swinging them around like a club. Seeing such a brutal display, the Soseonggwis that had swarmed us finally fled en masse.

I won…!

I finally defeated these monstrous bastards!

I survived another day!

“Ha!”

I guess I killed about half of them?

As the realization that I had survived hit me, my strength drained away, and my head spun. If I hadn’t used Go Seok-sam as a meat shield, I wouldn’t have made it.

I almost died after managing to survive this long; it was absolutely unacceptable.

“Go Seok-sam, you son of a bitch!”

“Aagh…!”

I couldn’t hold back any longer.

I grabbed the blood-soaked Go Seok-sam by the collar and pulled him up from where he lay sprawled on the ground.

“You bastard, you dared to run away?!”

“So, sorry…”

“Sorry, my ass! If we came here together on a life-or-death mission, you should cooperate! You frustrating idiot!”

Slap!

I slapped Go Seok-sam across the face.

“Kraaagh!”

One hit wasn’t enough to satisfy my rage.

One more!

Slap!

“Aagh!”

“What happens to me when you run off?! You son of a bitch, you tried to get me killed?! Did you want to see me die?!”

I treated him like a comrade!

I intended to fight alongside him to the end!

I planned for us to happily part ways after receiving our 200 mun each!

But the moment things got dangerous, he abandoned me and ran!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

“Kwaagh! Kwaagh!”

I kept slapping Go Seok-sam until my anger subsided, yanking hard on his sideburns, pulling out his hair.

“Huu…!”

Of course, I wasn’t completely oblivious to the potential consequences of beating someone up.

Let’s think rationally. This bastard admitted he was a nobody when we talked earlier. He said he had no money and no backing, so even if I beat him to a pulp, there wouldn’t be any repercussions.

In this martial world, being without backing meant being nothing more than a sucker.

A sucker I could beat up without consequences.

“Hua!”

Go Seok-sam slumped over, seemingly drained of all his energy.

He wasn’t dead, but he’d be in a lot of pain.

I wouldn’t worry about what happened after.

Swipe.

I immediately started cleaning up the Soseonggwi corpses. I had killed at least ten of them myself. Including the ones further away, I had reduced their numbers by more than half today.

The Soseonggwis, having lost so many of their comrades, would likely flee to another area. They were capable of learning; when their unit was decimated, they would immediately change their hunting grounds.

This matter was settled.

“…”

I felt completely drained.

Thinking I needed some rest, I leaned against a suitable spot and closed my eyes. I needed to recover my stamina. I needed to circulate and restore my energy.

“This is utterly devastating.”

Morning.

An official, witnessing Go Seok-sam’s battered state, the scene of the battle, and the Soseonggwi corpses, gasped in astonishment.

“I didn’t expect there to be so many. But you managed to defeat them all.”

“You did an excellent job. So many… And that friend of yours looks half-dead.”

“It was a fierce battle. It felt like a war, truly. Heh.”

“Indeed… Anyway, here. Your payment. 200 mun each.”

“Ooh!”

A heavy money pouch!

“Received!”

I counted it to make sure!

A hefty sum of 400 mun was in my hands!

Could such a joyous weight even exist?

“Hehehe, farewell then!”

As I pocketed the money and turned to leave…

“My, my money…”

Go Seok-sam mumbled something strange from behind.

“What?”

Hearing his voice made my blood boil. But I suppressed it. It was morning, and there were people around.

“Something to say?”

“Th, that is…”

I moved closer to Go Seok-sam and said,

“Seeing your face flush red like that, it seems you do have something to say? What is it?”

“…”

“You little shit. Don’t you remember what happened last night? You ran away without even putting up a fight, abandoning me!”

“Mo, more monsters than I thought…”

“We came here to work for money, so what does that matter? Did it feel good to use me as bait and run off on your own? I almost died because of you!”

“Gasp…!”

I immediately grabbed Go Seok-sam by the collar and lifted him up. He trembled, completely terrified, muttering something.

“I, I apologize…”

He looked pathetic.

But there would be no mercy, no forgiveness.

Even in modern-day Earth, this guy would’ve gotten the beating of his life from me. This was the martial world, no less.

I wouldn’t show any leniency to someone who tried to screw me over and get me killed. If he hadn’t collapsed there, I might have actually died.

He had some merit for being a meat shield, but since he ran, this was what he deserved. Moreover, this guy hadn’t killed a single Soseonggwi. I killed them all.

And he was demanding his share?

“Do you really want to die?”

“Sp, spare me!”

“I’m taking the money. You tried to kill me, so you have to pay the price. And I killed all those monsters, didn’t I? Now get lost, you son of a bitch!”

“Gasp!”

As I yelled and released his collar, Go Seok-sam scrambled away, running for his life. He looked exactly like he did when he was being chased by the Soseonggwis yesterday.

Even an idiot like him was pretending to be a demon hunter, seriously.

“If I see you again, you’re dead.”

Time to head back.

The money in my pocket felt heavy.

“Oh, right.”

I should collect the corpses and exchange them for money.

I should be able to get a few coins for them.

“Huu.”

Despite the large sum of money I had acquired, I wasn’t entirely happy.

From now on, I’d fall asleep every night imagining myself beating up Go Seok-sam.

I had a lot of injuries.

So, for the first time, I visited a physician.

“Eat these anti-inflammatory pills and apply this Golden Wound Salve, and you’ll be healed in no time. With your strong constitution, you won’t get any infections.”

The physician, with his long white beard, spoke with such authority that it sounded completely believable. This was the power of visual appeal.

“Ooh, is that so? What are anti-inflammatory pills?”

I knew what Golden Wound Salve was.

It was like the Madecassol of the martial world.

“Pills made from herbs that reduce inflammation. Here. 50 mun for one anti-inflammatory pill. And 20 mun for the Golden Wound Salve.”

Expensive, damn it.

But I had the money. I’d grit my teeth and invest in my health.

If I neglected my injuries, my health stats would decrease.

I paid the price, applied the Golden Wound Salve to my injuries as instructed, and swallowed the anti-inflammatory pill with some water.

If I ate and slept well, I should recover quickly.

After that, I returned to the inn.

“…”

After eating some noodles and Hawhajak, I went back to my room and lay down.

Go Seok-sam… Thinking about that bastard made me angry again.

Should I have beaten him more?

No, that was enough. He got messed up by the Soseonggwis and got a good beating from me, so I should let it go.

Anyway., how should I live from now on?

“…I need to get stronger.”

A sudden thought.

No.

It was a realization I had last night.

Strength.

I needed strength.

I faced a horde of Soseonggwis alone and almost died.

What if I had been stronger?

I could have dealt with them easily on my own.

“Yes…!”

A thrill ran through my body as I thought about it.

“Martial arts!”

Martial arts!

To gain strength and skill, I had to learn martial arts! This was the martial world, after all! Learning martial arts in the martial world was a perfectly natural thing to do!

I had to learn martial arts and strengthen myself!

“Time to learn martial arts!”

If I had money, I had to invest it!

If this were Earth, I would have invested in real estate, but this was the martial world! So, I would invest my money in martial arts!

I would use this money to learn martial arts!
