Red Dragon Corps leader Kun.
He was watching the entire situation from a hill overlooking the prisoner camp.
When five unidentified soldiers with great power were on the verge of death, Kun spotted Hyeon walking over in a brown coat.
The decisive factor that would bring peace between the two nations.
When he controlled 20, then all 70 members of the Red Dragon Corps with telekinesis, Kun let out a small gasp of admiration.
But Kun mocked him.
‘He’s struggling.’
Infinitely foolish.
Does he not know the basic elements of combat because he’s a blacksmith?
The grape he put in his mouth. It must be a precious grape grown from a small World Tree.
‘He should have applied it to an offensive technique.’
As he thought this, a shabby arrow was created around him.
He who had been looking at his subordinates.
His coat fluttering, he swiftly aimed at the sky and nocked an arrow to the bowstring.
“The end.”
That arrogant and absurd voice.
After shooting that arrow, he turned around and walked toward his subordinates.
At that moment, Kun saw it.
One arrow became seventy arrows and struck the Red Dragon Corps members.
But the damage from those arrows was far too shabby.
However, soon it was as if 1,000kg weights were attached to their ankles.
In other words, they crashed to the ground like bombs.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-bang-
Around Hyeon-su walking toward his subordinates, about 70 Red Dragon Corps members crashed down from all directions.
Each time they crashed down, the ground was deeply gouged and dust clouds rose thickly.
The dust briefly obscured Kun’s vision, and when all the dust cleared, Kun was shocked.
All 70 Red Dragon Corps members were buried in the ground, writhing.
“Uuuugh…!”
“Gaaaah!”
“Ugh…!”
Fortunately, there wasn’t a single death.
But he knew that their HP had dropped by at least 40% from this single attack.
Also, even if they didn’t die, receiving a strong impact all at once would naturally cause them to faint.
Some were unconscious, foaming at the mouth.
“…!”
Kun was surprised.
‘Did he find the most efficient way to attack in that short time?’
He’s no ordinary person.
But Kun soon saw the Red Dragon Corps members rising with high mental fortitude.
Even so, Hyeon would die here.
Excluding him, most of the forces were essentially unable to fight.
“1 versus 70?”
Soon Kun couldn’t help but laugh.
“No, it’ll soon be 1 versus 110.”
Red Dragon Corps leader Kun was a cautious man.
He makes plans in advance for any contingency.
70 Red Dragon Corps members.
He thinks this number isn’t insufficient.
However, he prepared for a just-in-case, really just-in-case situation.
Among the Outsiders of this land, there’s a group that will do anything for money.
Murder Guild.
Among them, the Red Hood Guild is a group of high-level bad-mannered guild members, about 90% of whom are archers.
They are mainly deployed in massacre battles.
They are those who can kill the most people in the shortest time by rapidly drawing bows in massacre battles.
Kun hired them with money and they would soon come here.
Of course, Kun expects Hyeon and those soldiers to all die before they arrive.
Also, the Red Dragon Corps members were his precious subordinates.
Kun descended the hill and quickly moved to the camp.
Khan and the other Gale Corps members couldn’t believe the scene unfolding before their eyes.
70 assassins were buried in the ground.
And their lord had given them each a potion.
After drinking it, they only recovered 15%.
It was only enough to breathe life into them while they were dying.
The assassins, each with something broken or damaged somewhere on their body, rose from the ground.
Crack
Crackle
They set their displaced bones themselves.
Then all 70 of them charged simultaneously.
From all directions, they rushed in targeting only Hyeon-su.
Swish, swish-swish-swish-swish-!
Wounds rapidly increased on Hyeon-su’s body.
Khan and the corps members rushed in to minimize his damage as much as possible.
And Khan knew.
The lord he remembered wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.
At that moment, eight assassins charged at Hyeon-su from all directions.
“My lord…!”
Khan’s vision went dizzy.
He knew that if his lord was attacked in eight places, he would die instantly.
‘What is this…!?’
Suddenly his spine went cold.
Khan finally realized.
It had been nearly a month since he had seen his lord’s power.
He hadn’t seen it except when fighting the giants in the Araham territory.
But that month was merely a brief moment in time.
However.
“Ghost Step.”
In an instant, the assassins gathered around Hyeon-su.
He moves like a ghost toward them.
Every time he moves, his afterimage is carved in mid-air.
Kwajiiik
Pueok!
Seugaaak
Kwakwak!
Pushuuk
Kwaeng
Udeuk
Kwaeng-!
Exactly eight people.
Eight assassins were slashed, broken, and slaughtered in 1.4 seconds.
Furthermore.
Kiiiiiing-
The sword he held cried out as it pierced the bodies of assassins emerging from other places.
Pushushushushushuk-
Making blood gush forth.
Peolleoek-
Hyeon-su moves freely with his coat fluttering.
Sometimes he was like a Sword King, sometimes like Changcheon.
Puhwaaaak-
He who cuts down an assassin with arrogant eyes.
At this moment, Khan and the Gale Wind members realized.
‘…Did he continue growing endlessly even in moments we couldn’t see?’
At that moment.
“Extreme Kill.”
In an instant.
Kun appeared leaving a black current and forcefully stabbed a dagger into Hyeon-su’s solar plexus.
[Extreme Kill]
[Unconditionally reduces HP by 80%.]
[You have been afflicted with the bleeding status ailment.]
“Keuuk!”
Hyeon-su staggered.
Hyeon-su saw the man called Kun who stabbed a dagger into his solar plexus and then pulled it out.
[Red Dragon Leader Kun Lv.351]
“It’s all because of you. I’ll kill you last along with your subordinates.”
Kun, who pulled out the dagger, disappeared instantly.
He appeared at a distance of only 12m and began massacring the prison soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, he killed all the soldiers, and furthermore began killing the Hell’s Cradle soldiers as well.
[All prison soldiers are killed in action.]
[A considerable number of Hell’s Cradle soldiers are killed in action.]
Hyeon-su felt dizzy.
‘It reduces HP by 80% at once?’
Due to the status ailment, it was difficult to even keep his eyes open.
Hyeon-su hurriedly put a small World Tree grape into his mouth with his intermittently trembling body.
[Recovers about 60% of HP and MP instantly.]
His HP filled up again, but Hyeon-su noticed.
‘There’s no chance of winning.’
Out of about 70 people, he had only killed 10.
Hyeon-su recalled the notifications he heard each time he killed assassins.
[Negotiation power increases.]
[Negotiation power increases.]
[Negotiation power…]
The death of assassins was connected to double negotiation power.
But there was something more important than that.
‘I’ll lose all the Gale Wind members.’
Hyeon-su took in the sight of them struggling against the Red Dragon members attacking from all sides.
Though they might be considered NPCs, they were precious people absolutely necessary for Gwangmyeong.
Then Khan, who was nearly dying, approached.
“Please hurry and tear the return scroll.”
“…I can come back to life even if I die.”
Hyeon-su looked at Khan with incomprehensible eyes.
Khan knows that he comes back to life.
But why does he wish for his safety to this extent?
Also, Hyeon-su had heard notifications while coming here.
[Retainer Khan overcomes his limits.]
[Retainer Khan overcomes his limits.]
[Retainer Khan overcomes his limits.]
[Retainer Berem overcomes his limits.]
[Retainer Berem overcomes his limits.]
[Retainer Berem overcomes his limits.]
[Retainer Pelo overcomes his limits.]
[Retainer Pelo overcomes his limits.]
[Retainer Pelo overcomes his limits.]
They had overcome their physical and mental limits several times.
It wouldn’t be strange if they died.
Also, the achievements at Hell’s Cradle. Hyeon-su knew they had done their best.
Khan choked up.
“My lord, we want to protect you even if we die. What saddens us most now is that we couldn’t protect our lord.”
Hyeon-su’s lips parted.
And though Hyeon-su didn’t understand, the kindness he had received from Khan and the Gale Wind members flashed through his mind.
On the first day the Gale Unit members came to Hyeon’s Forge, Nel said.
‘I’ve secured a room at the inn. For now, stay there together.’
‘I’ve secured a room at the inn. For now, stay there together.’
‘I’ve secured a room at the inn. For now, stay there together.’
Her words, as someone who worked as a minister, were cold.
But all the Gale Unit members were satisfied.
Raised by the state, abandoned by nobles throughout their lives. They had never slept warmly since childhood.
For those who were treated as living dead, even that was more than enough.
But Hyeon-su, who was doing blacksmithing, said.
‘I’ll give you money, so please find them a large house to live in.’
‘I’ll give you money, so please find them a large house to live in.’
‘I’ll give you money, so please find them a large house to live in.’
‘Hyeon-su, you haven’t even paid off your hospital bills yet, to go that far…’
‘Hyeon-su, you haven’t even paid off your hospital bills yet, to go that far…’
‘Hyeon-su, you haven’t even paid off your hospital bills yet, to go that far…’
‘Please do that. I have confidence now. At least confidence that I can protect my people.’
‘Please do that. I have confidence now. At least confidence that I can protect my people.’
‘Please do that. I have confidence now. At least confidence that I can protect my people.’
Hyeon-su, who had said that, smiled as he looked at them.
“It’s frustrating. We who want to protect but cannot protect, it’s too despairing. These damn bodies of ours!”
Hyeon-su knew.
They were born with bodies that were mana incompatible.
And they were those who burned their will even in situations where they faced death and could only lose.
Suddenly, something flashed through Hyeon-su’s mind.
“Thank you, Kan.”
[All Hell’s Cradle soldiers have fallen in battle.]
Total number of allies: five.
Excluding the Gale Unit members, all had fallen.
Hyeon-su looked again at Kun and the assassins coming toward them.
Kan couldn’t understand.
‘Thank you?’
Hyeon-su smiled slightly and patted his shoulder.
“You gave me inspiration.”
Ore shoots up beside Hyeon-su.
Kan and the Gale Unit members stagger and stand in front to block them.
Kun stood at the center of about 60 assassins.
He flicks his finger.
Kan sees all 60 coming at once.
Soon a massive blade is created above Hyeon-su’s head.
That blade glowing red with heat.
That massive blade combines with a single grip.
Hyeon-su passes by them to face the enemies and says.
“There was a great general in a small country.”
Kan and the Gale Unit members take in the weapon he created with their eyes.
Before they knew it, an unidentifiable great sword descends to him.
“The enemy nation was much stronger and the king felt he had lost the war.”
Hyeon-su grips the vertically descended sword with both hands.
Clank-
He shows the sword blade to the enemies defiantly.
“The king of the small country knew.”
Chinese characters fill the sword blade.
[ (If you are prepared to die, you will live)]
[ (If you are determined to live, you will die)]
“That we had lost, but the great general of the small country said.”
Hyeon-su pulls that sword back with all his might.
At that moment.
Thump
Thump
Thump
All five Gale Unit members felt an unknown power surging from their bodies.
A power warm like a mother but sometimes surging strongly. And that great general Hyeon-su admired.
“I still have…”
Hyeon-su brought down the sword he had pulled back with all his strength.
Swoooosh-
“Five retainers remaining.”
[ is activated.]
[Applied to retainers.]
[Mana surges from the body.]
[HP recovers to 50%.]
[Surpassing limits.]
[Surpassing limits.]
[Surpassing…]
[The Gale Unit members are comparable to knights but cannot use mana.]
[Mana dwells in those with Named NPC-level skills.]
[Measuring level.]
[Cannot be measured.]
[Cannot be measured.]
[System completes measurement.]
Ding!
[Kan Lv.341]
[Berem Lv.336]
[Pelo Lv.339]
[Ganya Lv.330]
[Pon Lv.338]
Blue mana swirled from the bodies of Kan and the Gale Unit members.
When they regained their senses after going berserk, 50 assassins had turned to ash.
