Chapter 210 : Night Goblin (5)
"Heeyah!"
Baaaang!
When Sim Jae-gyeong swung his red-headed mallet with both hands, the member who received the attack flew far away.
"Keouk."
The member with multiple bone fractures immediately lost consciousness.
"This bastard!"
A were-lycaon with raised claws aimed for Sim Jae-gyeong's nape, but.
"Heup!"
Sim Jae-gyeong easily threw him off using a ssireum technique.
'Now!'
Yu-jin, spotting an opening, rushed toward Sim Jae-gyeong.
"Haha! Willingly jumping into my arms, wife!"
'Disgusting bastard.'
Kkirik.
Yu-jin gripped her sword tightly and lowered her stance.
Although Yu-jin was no match for Sim Jae-gyeong in either speed or strength.
"Please understand, I have no choice but to hurt my wife a little!"
Bwoong!
Focusing her mind as she watched the straightforward and easy-to-read trajectory of the mallet flying toward her, she skillfully deflected the attack while successfully inflicting damage to his body with mana penetration.
"Keuhuk!"
Struck by the penetrating scene that directly pierced his heart, Sim Jae-gyeong spread his arms and said in a theatrical tone:
"This thrill! Is this love!"
'Shallow provocation.'
There was no sense of crisis on the Ma-in's playful face.
Instead of lashing out in response, Yu-jin retreated.
"Hooh?"
Sim Jae-gyeong tilted his head at Yu-jin's calmer-than-expected reaction.
"Rookie, fall back!"
In the meantime, the Squad Leader and Deputy Squad Leader simultaneously launched a joint attack on Sim Jae-gyeong.
"Oh my, gentlemen, how cowardly!"
While Sim Jae-gyeong was handling their attacks.
Bwoong!
A flying strike containing the subtlety of penetrating scene slightly cut Sim Jae-gyeong's tough skin, momentarily stopping his movement.
'Hooh!'
The surprise was brief.
Bwak!
Sim Jae-gyeong's head snapped back as he was hit by the Squad Leader's roundhouse kick.
"Haha. Sir, this is quite painful?"
Bbeogeok!
Sim Jae-gyeong first kicked away the Deputy Squad Leader.
"Wandering Spirits!"
Then he summoned will-o'-the-wisps to attack the Squad Leader.
"Tsk!"
Seeing the Squad Leader retreat to avoid the will-o'-the-wisps, Sim Jae-gyeong immediately rushed at Yu-jin.
"Your movements are as nimble as a water-soaked swallow, wife!"
It was a speed difficult to imagine from such a large frame, but.
'Su-hyeon was faster.'
Recalling her sparring with Su-hyeon a few days ago, Yu-jin relaxed her body and extended her sword energy.
Kagak!
Once again deflecting the attack at an angle, Yu-jin felt an impact that seemed to tear her hand apart.
'He's strong.'
Moreover, the sturdiness of the mallet, which didn't get a single scratch from sword energy without an aura, was not ordinary.
However.
"Heup!"
Sim Jae-gyeong inhaled sharply at the pain that once again precisely touched his heart.
"I don't know what trick you're using, but I like you even more!"
But the stark difference in strength, enough to disrupt her balance just by deflecting attacks, couldn't be overcome with technique alone.
"Euk!"
Sim Jae-gyeong's hand, having spotted an opening, flew in to grab Yu-jin's clothing.
'In that case!'
Yu-jin, prepared for mutual destruction, extended her sword for a simultaneous strike instead of defending.
However.
Bwak!
Once again, an attack from behind twisted Sim Jae-gyeong's head, causing both sides' attacks to miss.
"Ah, these gentlemen. Really annoying like mosquitoes."
Irritated, Sim Jae-gyeong spread his robe and flew into the sky.
"Tsk!"
Whiririk!
Each time Sim Jae-gyeong swung his mallet in the air, Ma-in jumped out opening dimensional doors.
"Now, kids. Give these gentlemen a proper kneading!"
"Kiyaho!"
"I need to kidnap my wife!"
"Cut that impossible bullshit, you bastards!"
Just as the members, blood rushing to their heads, were each preparing to attack.
[Finally caught you, you goddamn son of a bitch!]
The roar of a small-statured dwarf made the air tremble.
"...!"
Sim Jae-gyeong tensed at the ominous power.
'That strength, that mask, that stature. Could it be?'
There was only one person it could be.
'Damn it all, is it Ahn Byeong-jun!'
For a figure as significant as the 4th Unit Captain to appear so quickly?
'They were prepared!'
Apparently, the members he had kidnapped last time belonged to the 4th Unit.
'I didn't know that either!'
Sim Jae-gyeong, whose playfulness had disappeared completely, straightened his posture.
"Just die, you bastard!"
"Oh sir, I'm not a red Ma-in yet! You shouldn't kill me!"
"Bullshit!"
Kwaaang!
Sim Jae-gyeong, who parried the massive war hammer with his mallet, was sent flying tens of meters.
"Wook!"
Sim Jae-gyeong's immense strength, which could destroy buildings, was nothing before the power of a transcendent like Ahn Byeong-jun.
'As expected of a Captain!'
He thought he could manage somehow, but the gap was bigger than expected.
Moreover.
'Damn, he's frighteningly fast!'
Relentless attacks continued without a moment's respite, unimaginable for someone wielding such a heavy and large war hammer.
A goblin with a large frame holding a club.
And a dwarf with a very small frame holding a war hammer.
Yet the one being pushed back was Sim Jae-gyeong, whose frame was much larger.
'Damn, what's with that hammer? It's more annoying because it keeps changing size!'
Unable to withstand the offensive, Sim Jae-gyeong put on his hat, becoming semi-transparent, but.
"Bullshit!"
Kwaang!
When Ahn Byeong-jun struck the ground, broken asphalt blocks flew like shotgun pellets, pelting Sim Jae-gyeong's body.
"Aigoo!"
Sim Jae-gyeong made a fuss, saying it stung.
"That hat of yours makes your body somewhat transparent, but it doesn't particularly let attacks pass through, does it?"
"Yees, sir, you're right. You figured it out well. Right, Wandering Spirits?"
Puhwak!
Will-o'-the-wisps flew in trying to burn his mana, but.
Cheeeeeek!
A Mana Barrier projected with a density high enough to make the air ripple blocked the fire's entry and evaporated it.
'What the hell!'
Sim Jae-gyeong's eyes widened like droplets at this unheard-of skill.
"Hey."
Ahn Byeong-jun, with veins popping out between his eyebrows from anger, said each syllable as if chewing it:
"Do you finally feel how fucked you are?"
Tadak!
Ahn Byeong-jun, who had instantly circled widely behind Sim Jae-gyeong, spun his body once and swung his war hammer with centrifugal force.
Kwaaaaaaang!
Sim Jae-gyeong, who parried with his mallet held in both hands, was pushed far back again.
"Damn it!"
Indeed, a Captain was a Captain.
Even while wielding such a large and heavy weapon, his striking point was perfect.
'Despite the large movements, I can't see and avoid them. I don't know what skill it is.'
And what about that strength?
'My skull is ringing. Damn!'
If hit directly, even his physical body would undoubtedly not be safe.
'My goodness. I can't even engage in ssireum with that dwarf gentleman.'
If he couldn't overwhelm with strength, there was no solution for Sim Jae-gyeong, who hadn't learned martial arts.
"Strike, mallet!"
The red-headed mallet, with a will of its own, charged like a sword possessed by a spirit.
"Look at this bastard."
Ahn Byeong-jun struck down at the mallet, but it dodged the attack with tremendous speed and instead tried to smash his head.
Chang!
Drawing the arming sword from his waist to block the attack, Ahn Byeong-jun slammed the mallet to the ground with incomprehensible hand movements.
Kaang!
He then struck the mallet as it bounced up from the floor, like hitting a baseball, sending it flying.
"I'll dice you up too!"
"Who's going to be diced, sir!"
Sim Jae-gyeong, who retrieved his mallet which had been flying at a perfect launch angle, struck the ground, opening dimensions from which zombie-like Ma-in poured out by the dozens and hundreds.
"Hehehe, first you have to deal with these guys!"
'This bastard.'
Captain Ahn Byeong-jun became even more enraged at Sim Jae-gyeong's action of bringing out cannon fodder.
"What do you think of your subordinates?"
"What else? I just think of them as subordinates!"
Regardless.
'No choice. I need to retreat.'
Sim Jae-gyeong, licking his lips, pulled out a bead from his bosom.
'I need to revise the plan. Let's avoid this downpour first.'
If there was one thing he regretted.
'I finally found a wife candidate.'
She was truly his ideal type that he had dreamed of.
Judging by mentions of Sword God and Sword Warrior, she seemed to be of quite good status too.
'Hehe. See you again, gentlemen.'
The bead he pulled out was one that could let him enter his phantom dimension.
While the goblin club was sufficient to let others in and out, a medium like the bead was necessary for the magic user himself to enter.
'Well then, goodbye everyone.'
Just as he was about to recite a spell while rubbing the bead.
"I can't allow that."
"!?"
Su-hyeon, who had appeared behind him without warning using 'Chukji,' said.
'What is this...!'
Before Sim Jae-gyeong could react.
Janggerang!
Su-hyeon's fist, surrounded by a hardened shield, shattered the bead.
"Aaaarggh!"
Aghast, Sim Jae-gyeong reached out to Su-hyeon.
"You bastard!"
Bwoong!
Activating Eye Power, Su-hyeon easily dodged the hand and instead planted a counter punch between Sim Jae-gyeong's eyebrows.
Bwakak!
Then, avoiding the hand trying to grab his collar by retreating, he delivered a calf kick.
Sim Jae-gyeong swung his mallet as if it tickled, but Su-hyeon stepped back on a Mana Shield and launched a flying strike, cutting off Sim Jae-gyeong's hair.
"You bastard, do you even know what you've done!"
"I know. I've just blocked your escape route."
"Huh? Huuuh! You! Youuuu!"
Meanwhile, Captain Ahn Byeong-jun, who had noticed Su-hyeon's identity, came running with wide-open eyes.
"...Hello, sir."
"Wooow, meeting you here!"
Ahn Byeong-jun momentarily expressed delight, forgetting the situation, then cleared his throat.
"Let's talk after this is over."
"Yes."
"First, let's catch that bastard."
Sim Jae-gyeong's condition, trembling violently, didn't look good.
"Y-y-you little bastard, how could you...a bead I made...!"
Gugugu.
Sim Jae-gyeong's shaggy hair stood on end.
"Hey, Su-hyeon! Come with me!"
"Captain Ahn! Squad Leader Yu!"
Jo Sujin and members of the 1st Unit's A Squad also arrived at the scene a little later.
"You bastard, you're completely surrounded! If you don't want to get beaten to death, strip to your underwear and surrender right now!"
Jo Sujin shouted haughtily.
"Hey, they say you're a goblin! Does that mean your underwear is super sturdy too?"
"Wahahahaha!"
The 1st Unit members burst into laughter, following their Senior Squad Leader.
"Ha."
Ahn Byeong-jun, who had retrieved his war hammer, sighed.
"Alright, gentlemen. Let's play properly as you wish!"
"Oh my?"
Jo Sujin's eyebrows twitched.
'He's not running away even after meeting the Captain?'
The reactions of those expecting a chase turned strange.
'He still has something he believes in.'
Only Su-hyeon knew this fact.
But.
'So what?'
Su-hyeon's eyes narrowed.
"Come out, all of you, kids! Let's do some work!"
Whiririk!
All the Ma-in of the [Night Goblin] faction jumped out from the dimension Sim Jae-gyeong had opened.
"Let's have a blood festival today!"
Sim Jae-gyeong shouted.
"If we win, our faction gets new family members, and if those gentlemen win, they get friends to eat prison meals with!"
"Boss, the latter doesn't sound too bad?"
"Wahahahaha!"
"You fools, they say even if you roll in a dog poop field, it's better to roll in this world!"
Sim Jae-gyeong tilted his head sideways.
"Hmm? Is that right?"
"You mean this world is better."
"Ah, you're a smart gentleman."
Sim Jae-gyeong grinned at Jo Sujin's correction.
"Then, shall we play again?"
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
"Su-hyeon!"
I approached Yu-jin, who was examining injured members in the rear while the fight was unfolding.
"Yu-jin."
"...You came."
Yu-jin hesitated awkwardly, perhaps because she had heard something from Sim Jae-gyeong.
"Why, did something happen?"
"Well..."
"Wife! I'll come for you soon, so wait just a little!"
"......"
"......"
Yu-jin's and my expressions hardened simultaneously.
'That bastard.'
I asked, turning my head.
"Yu-jin."
"Yes."
"What do you want to do with that guy?"
"...First."
Yu-jin said in a cold voice.
"First, to make sure he never says such things again, I want to XX and XX his fingers, then..."
"......"
The intensity was more brutal than expected.
"I-I see."
I found myself stuttering a bit without realizing it.
