“What the hell is this nonsense! Dying?!”
“The Hayagriva is at least a demon of the Jungwon Hyungsalsal level… It can’t be defeated unless you’re a skilled peak martial artist. Moreover, it’ll be even stronger inside the labyrinth. We’re all dead…”
If it’s a Jungwon Hyungsalsal, it’s stronger than the Baekpal Yokwae Gundo!
“Puhihihing!”
The Hayagriva snorted, drawing aggro.
“The sweet scent of humans excites me! Are you my offerings?! Let me taste some fresh flesh!”
The Hayagriva, wielding a large sword, shouted in a frivolous voice. Even amidst the rampaging Great Ghouls, its voice rang out clearly.
“My Lady!”
“Run!”
“We’ll take care of this…!”
The Hacheondae martial artists, who had been slaughtering the Great Ghouls, rushed to the Jade Flower Sword’s side. Fortunately, more than half of the Great Ghouls were already dead.
The enemies in this space were just the sorcerer, the Hayagriva, and the few remaining Great Ghouls.
Can… can we win this?
“Go! Do you think I’ll run away?!” The Jade Flower Sword shouted.
A shout filled with pure inner energy.
“There’s no retreating in the face of the enemy!”
“My Lady!”
“Form a formation! We will slay the Hayagriva!”
She wasn’t just a beautiful knight-errant. The Jade Flower Sword, upon seeing the Hayagriva, exploded with fighting spirit and scattered a fierce aura.
That’s right.
The Jade Flower Sword was also a peak martial artist.
Then she could kill the Hayagriva.
“Puhih! The human wench is spouting some arrogant nonsense! A mere human daring to slay this Madu! Truly foolish!”
The moment the Hayagriva shouted, the Hacheondae martial artists leaped forward. At their center was the Jade Flower Sword.
Just as the confrontation was about to begin.
Kugugung!
More Great Ghouls emerged from the ground!
“This…! The sorcerer! He’s controlling the Great Ghouls! I’ll kill him! Hacheondae, hold back the Hayagriva!”
“Yes!”
“You think I’ll let you?!”
The Hayagriva swung its greatsword at the martial artists, and a Great Ghoul in its path was sliced clean in two, instantly killed. A cruel display of casual team-killing. As the greatsword flew, about to strike the Jade Flower Sword, the Hacheondae martial artists formed a sword formation and blocked it.
Tang!
“You vermin!”
The Hayagriva roared, and the Jade Flower Sword seized the opportunity to sprint towards the sorcerer.
It was truly a chaotic battlefield.
“Uwaaaack!”
“Aaack!”
I moved around the weary administrator, eliminating Great Ghouls with Jaemison. The wandering swordsmen, having regained their senses, also attacked the Great Ghouls.
Of course, there were still quite a few who remained panicked or were trying to flee.
However, every single Hacheondae martial artist was confronting the Hayagriva, and some of them were diligently attacking the Great Ghouls.
“Even if you vermin gather, you cannot defeat this Madu!”
“You!”
One of the Hacheondae’s martial artists slipped inside the Hayagrivas guard, but…
“Puhihing! You’ve been tricked!”
The Hayagriva cried out gleefully, and at the same time…
Ppeogeok!
“Keuhuk!”
The horse-headed monster’s powerful knee kick slammed into the martial artist’s upper body!
“Heok!”
A martial artist of that level taken down in one blow!
“Sonsikhu!”
“Block, block it!”
“You, rescue Sikhu!”
The Hacheondae martial artists fought hard, but the Hayagriva was too powerful. As it began to swing its greatsword in earnest, the Hacheondae started to get pushed back, and the slaughter began, starting with one martial artist whose waist was severed.
“Uwaaaack!”
“Aaaack!”
The martial artists were being pushed back…!
“If they lose… it’s over.”
“No!”
A demon!
Is that truly a demon?!
A single powerful demon was single-handedly slaughtering the Hacheondae’s martial artists, who were in formation! How could such a being exist?! The Hacheondae must have honed their skills through harsh training and real combat!
And yet they were being defeated like this!
It was so overwhelming that it felt despair-inducing!
“Ah!”
Jade Flower Sword?!
What was she doing?!
“Haaaap!”
The Jade Flower Sword was struggling against the sorcerer.
The sorcerer used all sorts of mystical techniques, seamlessly blending offense and defense, and the Jade Flower Sword was breaking through them head-on, but it didn’t seem like she could finish him off easily.
Furthermore…
Kugugung!
More Great Ghouls rose up.
“Heok!”
“Block the Great Ghouls!”
“Damn it allll!”
The Hacheondae martial artists cried out in despair. They were already being pushed back, and now they had to split their forces. To make matters worse, martial artists who had suffered internal injuries from clashing with the Hayagriva’s immense power began coughing up blood.
The situation wasn’t good.
I tried to escape, but the rear passage was already blocked.
What should I do?
Was there nothing else I could do but hunt Great Ghouls with the squad leader?!
Tsupat!
At that moment, the Jade Flower Sword’s blade flashed.
Deonggeong!
The sorcerer’s head flew off.
She did it!
“Hayagriva!!!”
The Jade Flower Sword, having taken the sorcerer’s head, shouted.
“Puhihing?”
“I’ll kill you!”
“Kill, no! Wait a minute, you’re a pretty wench! I’ll take you as my concubine!”
“Damn it, what nonsense! Shut up!”
“This impudent wench has a sharp tongue! Tonight, I’ll show you some affection by ramming my thing into your holes all night long! Puhing!”
“You disgusting bastard!”
Thus began the great battle between the Hayagriva and the Jade Flower Sword. The uninjured Hacheondae martial artists also joined the fight.
“There aren’t many Great Ghouls left! You just kill those!”
Following the weary administrator’s orders, I yelled and attacked the Great Ghouls.
“Greeeeck!”
They were things that died just by stabbing and ripping their big bellies. Their attacks? My agility stat was more than enough to dodge them. Aside from their numbers and their interference in the fight, these bastards were nothing special.
“Jaemison! You’re not dead yet!”
“You either…!”
“Forget it!”
I just had to diligently eliminate the Great Ghouls.
Then the Jade Flower Sword would somehow manage.
“Kuhuk!”
I held onto that hope as I surveyed the battlefield, but the situation wasn’t good.
Despite fighting one against many, the Hayagriva was steadily picking off the Hacheondae’s martial artists.
Could it be… we’re losing?
Was the Jade Flower Sword really going to be defeated?
I was anxious, but I believed in her and kept killing Great Ghouls.
“D-Done! All the Great Ghouls are dead! You! And you! I’m joining that fight, so tend to the wounded and get them to the entrance!”
“Squad leader!”
Leaving those words behind, the weary administrator ran towards the Hayagriva.
“No choice…! Jaemison! Let’s get the survivors!”
“Kuk kuk! Rescue work on the battlefield!”
We immediately started tending to the wounded scattered across the battlefield. Almost all of the collapsed wandering swordsmen were dead. The ones who were alive were hiding, exhausted.
Therefore, our rescue targets were limited to the Hacheondae martial artists, and we discovered two bodies.
“Heok!”
It was incredibly shocking.
To see the seemingly powerful martial artists of the Namgung in such a gruesome state. It was so horrifying I almost collapsed and clutched my head, but there was no time to mourn the dead. We had to attend to the living first.
“Kuhuk…!”
Even those alive weren’t in good condition. They had all collapsed from internal injuries sustained in the battle with the Hayagriva.
There were five such martial artists.
“Are you alright?!”
“My Lady…!”
“Worry about yourself!”
Jaemison and I carried the injured martial artists to the entrance.
“Jaemison! How is that Hayagriva so strong?!”
“It’s originally a powerful demon…”
I felt the sheer power of the Hayagriva deep in my bones. Two Hacheondae martial artists were dead, and five had collapsed with internal injuries.
And over there.
Kwaang!
Kuung!
The Jade Flower Sword and two martial artists were joining forces to fight the Hayagriva. There were two more collapsed martial artists nearby.
One of them was none other than weary administrator, who had just bravely joined the fight.
“Squad leader!”
Our squad leader had fallen!
“Shit!”
An immense rage surged within me. But pathetically, there was nothing I, a mere third-rate nobody, could do.
I couldn’t rescue the squad leader lying there, nor could I join the Jade Flower Sword’s fight against the Hayagriva.
Because I was weak…!
Because I was a fucking useless worm, I couldn’t do anything!
“Puhihihing! Is this all humans are capable of?! Your martial arts are a joke!” The Hayagriva cried out joyfully.
“The age of this Madu will now come!”
“You lowly horse-headed bastard spouting nonsense…!”
“Let’s see if you can still talk so boldly after giving birth to ten of my offspring, wench!”
“Damn it! Such disgusting talk!”
“Tonight, I’ll give you a night-long breeding session! Just thinking about copulating makes my thing throb! I’ll play with those big breasts of yours to my heart’s content!”
“You goddamn bastard!”
The Hayagriva pressed the Jade Flower Sword, openly expressing its lust.
“How dare you talk like that to My Lady!”
“I’ll kill you!”
The Hacheondae’s martial artists seemed enraged at seeing their Lady insulted, but they seemed to be struggling just to deflect the greatsword.
Only the Jade Flower Sword was properly parrying the Hayagriva’s greatsword, retreating and waiting for an opportunity.
“Fierce wench! How long do you intend to just defend?! Come on, swing that cute sword of yours some more!”
“Your arrogance won’t last! We’ll see if you can still talk like that after your limbs are severed, you disgusting horse-headed demon!”
At that moment.
“Puhihihing!”
The Hayagriva roared powerfully!
Hwaaack!
A demonic shriek!
A tremendous demonic energy surged around it!
“Heok?!”
“Keup…!”
At the same time, the Hacheondae’s martial artists rolled their eyes back and vomited blood…!
No! Inflicting internal injuries with just a roar!
“Now the vermin protecting you are all gone! Now, be a good girl, soak your holes, and become this Madu’s concubine!”
“Damn it…!”
The Hayagriva swung its greatsword again, and the Jade Flower Sword stumbled slightly, dodging the attack.
But the moment the Hayagriva stomped its foot powerfully…
“Kyaak?!”
Her body momentarily wavered. The Hayagriva didn’t miss the opportunity. Maintaining its stomping stance, it launched itself towards the Jade Flower Sword and began a flurry of attacks.
“Horse-Head Onslaught!”
“Heut!”
The Jade Flower Sword was being pushed back.
Like this.
Was the Jade Flower Sword really going to be defeated like this? If she lost, everyone here would die. There was no way I could beat that crazy horse-headed muscle giant.
Not just me, but Jaemison too, we would all die.
I would never see my aunt again, and the chance to become friends with Song would be gone forever.
Did I really have to accept such a future?
“Puhihihing! If you take off your clothes now and lewdly shake those big breasts of yours while you fight, I might go easy on you!”
“Bullshit…!”
The Hayagriva was preoccupied with taunting the Jade Flower Sword. But there was no one to save her.
The available forces were me and Jaemison. Just the two of us.
Kuung!
The Jade Flower Sword, having lost her breath, was clearly losing.
“Haa, haa!”
I had to make a decision before it was too late.
“Jaemison.”
“Hmm…?”
“Let’s make a big decision.”
If I didn’t want to die, I had to struggle.
I made a big decision.
