Chapter 149
Episode 149
Previously, that is, when Baekseol was a baby(?) divine creature.
Back then, Baekseol used gigantification to fight against the Nammantae Daehyeolseo.
Thanks to that, Namgung Cheon-gang’s party was able to claim victory without major casualties.
And now.
“Piiiik!”
Baekseol became giant again.
To fight against the massive blood-red fox that suddenly appeared.
‘Does Baekseol assess the situation and gigantify on her own?’
Since the Dongryang County incident, Baekseol had never gigantified.
There hadn’t been any particular need for it either.
So he hadn’t paid attention to it.
‘Certainly, to fight against that massive frame, giant Baekseol is necessary.’
There’s a saying that size is everything.
No matter how skilled a warrior might be, facing a mountain-sized giant fox would be quite a stretch.
It might be different if hundreds charged at once, but it’s not like there are no enemies around.
‘If it were the Master of the Muyong Family, one of the Ten Martial Arts Sages, it might be different.’
With that level of power, a one-on-one might be possible?
But right now, that Ten Martial Arts Sage is busy.
He’s dealing with that vicious assassin who was aiming for Namgung Cheon-gang’s side, trying to stab him.
Though he barely avoided the meteor-like sword strike and didn’t suffer fatal wounds.
With one arm gone, the tide of battle had already turned decisively.
‘Still, seeing how he’s somehow holding on, he must not be an ordinary person.’
Well, he does look like the leader of obviously bad guys.
Even his clothes are the most luxurious, right?
‘Seeing how the Master of the Muyong Family called him a disgusting rat bastard, that guy seems to be the head of Hyeorin-gak.’
He’s the boss of the assassins, so if left alone, he’d definitely cause all sorts of trouble.
It’s right to let the Ten Martial Arts Sage handle him and properly cut his throat.
So, the only being who can face the giant fox is giant Baekseol.
‘Yes. That’s right. Our Baekseol gigantifies after assessing the situation.’
His doubt became certainty.
To think she gigantifies on her own when an opponent appears that only she can handle.
‘My clever little one.’
I could tell from when she was just a sprout.
How could a father just stand still when his child is fighting?
‘In that case—’
It’s time to be a Pokémon trainer again after so long!
“Baekseol, body slam!”
Namgung Cheon-gang stretched out his hand while holding the woman and shouted spiritedly.
Even though, unlike in Dongryang County, he wasn’t on her head so his voice wouldn’t reach her at this distance.
Baekseol and Namgung Cheon-gang were of one mind.
They communicated not with voices, but with their hearts.
What Namgung Cheon-gang desired.
“Piiiik!!”
Baekseol understood perfectly and immediately executed a body slam.
Kuuuung!
“Queeeek!”
The giant fox got hit by Baekseol’s left fist and was in a dazed state.
Because it took a proper hit to the jaw.
It would take some time to recover.
But without even a moment to catch its breath, the North Sea Albatross rammed into it with her giant frame.
Kwaaaaang!
“Keheng!”
Letting out a death-rattle-like scream.
It flew backward with a whoosh.
Kuuuung!
Falling like that and collapsing the enemy formation.
“Baekseol! Jump high and drop down!”
Also known as a body press.
“Piiiik!!”
Baekseol folded her whole body, extended it, and jumped high.
Then, toward the fallen giant fox, she—
Fell.
“Keeeng!! (No, don’t!!)”
“Piii!! (Do it!!)”
Kuuuuuung!!
An attack that landed squarely on the fox’s white belly.
“Kieeeng!!”
The ground crumbled.
Dirt shot up.
And dust spread like fog.
The fox, curved like a shrimp, let out an even more intense scream than before, spilling it out with blood.
“Now’s the chance!”
An opportunity to press the attack.
Namgung Cheon-gang doesn’t miss it.
“Baekseol-a, get on top and pummel its face with your fists!”
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
The earth trembled and the sky wept.
Giant Baekseol’s black wings swung like the wind.
The fox’s face swayed left and right repeatedly.
Blood splattered and fox fur flew.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
“….”
“….”
Both allies and enemies.
Everyone was at a loss for words.
They stared blankly at the giant monster battle.
‘What the hell is that.’
‘What the, damn, is this a kaiju battle.’
‘Wow. Humans are truly such small beings.’
Even Muyong Wu was staring blankly.
“…In all my life, I’m experiencing all sorts of strange things….”
The enemy leader who was about to be grabbed by the hair and beheaded by Muyong Wu was the same.
‘Wow, what is that thing.’
Even the bloodlust in his eyes had faded.
Seeing mountain-sized monsters fighting.
He felt like a mere insignificant creature and became naturally humble, falling into self-loathing.
Thwack! Thwack!! Thwack!!
That’s how violent Baekseol’s consecutive strikes were.
But would the giant fox just keep taking hits?
“Keeeng!!”
Crunch!
It bites Baekseol’s right wing that was hitting its face like a stress-relief doll.
“Piiiik!!”
Baekseol screams in pain from having her wing bitten.
How’s that? You hurt too!? It stings!
The attack pauses momentarily due to the very painful sting.
This is the chance!
The fox’s two red eyes flash like its own body.
It bursts energy through its entire body.
Kaaaang!
Baekseol gets blown back by the red energy and falls backward.
“Baekseol-aak!!”
Namgung Cheon-gang screams in shock until his throat nearly tears.
Meanwhile, the fox springs up and leaps toward Baekseol.
“Kyaaaak!!”
A beast’s attack aiming for the neck, trying to sever the throat in one strike.
“Good, well done! Our side!”
“Go! Giant fox!!!”
The Blood Cult followers are already waving their weapons and cheering for the giant red fox.
Even from their perspective, the giant red fox is on their side.
If that giant fox wins?
They too will likely achieve victory.
That’s how it feels somehow.
“Bite the neck!”
“Just tear the throat right off!!!”
“Don’t use those sharp teeth as decoration!!!”
“Gooooo!!!”
So they have no choice but to cheer at the top of their lungs.
“No, North Sea Albatross!!!”
“Baekseol, get up!!”
The warriors of Namgung and Muyong are the same.
They’ve become united in cheering for Baekseol.
Though they had the upper hand.
With a giant red fox present, who knows how the situation might turn.
Cheering for Baekseol, who could easily defeat the giant fox, naturally arose.
“Baekseol!! Front kick!!”
Namgung Sohye shouted with inner energy.
Namgung Cheon-gang heard it.
“Baekseol!! Just like Sister Namgung Sohye said!!”
“Piiiik!”
Yellow foot front kick!
Thwack!
The giant fox that was charging with its mouth wide open to bite Baekseol’s neck.
Gets hit in the jaw by the front kick, and its head jerks up greatly.
“Kehup!!”
A scream comes out.
But the struck jaw automatically swallows as it closes.
“No, no!!”
“Foooox!!”
The Blood Cult followers tear at their hair.
“It got hit properly in the jaw!”
“Perfect counterattack!!”
“Great!!”
“North Sea Albatross is the best!!”
Namgung and Muyong cheer, pulling both fists toward their bodies.
However, this time the fox doesn’t just take it lying down.
Using its mental strength, it forcefully brings down the head that was knocked upward.
A giant fox headbutt falling onto Baekseol’s plump belly!
Thwack!!
“Piiiik!”
“That’s it!!”
“What indomitable spirit!!”
“Foooox!!”
This time intense joy erupts from the Blood Cult side.
“No, nooooo!”
“It hit straight in the abdomen!!”
“Ah, this one’s big!!”
Sighs burst from the Namgung and Muyong side.
After that, Baekseol and the fox exchanged blows with each other once each.
Headbutt for headbutt.
Tail swipe.
Wing slap to the jaw.
“Fox, fight on! Fox fight on!”
“Our side is doing well! Our side is doing well!!”
“That’s right!! Use your tail!!”
Each time they exchanged blows, from the Blood Cult.
“Baekseol’s plump belly strike attack is good!!”
“Beak! Use your beak to peck the eyes! That’s right!!”
“Kieeeeng!!”
“Ah, the North Sea Albatross’s beak attack! It went right into the eye! The red fox is almost in an exhausted state!”
“It seems the early consecutive hits had a big impact!”
“Now’s the time! Time for the finish!”
And from Namgung and Muyong.
Cheering, sighs, joy, and emotion burst out consecutively from both factions.
‘Wait, are these people watching some kind of monster battle right now!’
And who the heck is doing commentary!?
Namgung Cheon-gang was dumbfounded.
‘Ah, no, the suddenly appearing commentator isn’t what’s important right now!’
As someone’s commentary said, the blood-colored giant fox had just entered an exhausted state.
‘If it’s in a groggy state!’
A chance to finish it!
‘Since it’s turned out like WWC anyway!’
If that’s what people want!
‘I’ll give them a proper finish!’
Baekseol’s finishing move.
‘Going for the silk thread bind and slam!’
Of course, he just thought of it.
Anyway, to deliver the finishing blow as planned.
“Baekseol-a! Wait a—”
Namgung Cheon-gang tried to shout with all his might.
Kureoeok!
Unable to finish his words, he coughed up blood.
Thud.
He fell to his knees.
His whole body trembled, and all his strength drained away.
As Namgung Cheon-gang collapsed.
“Piiik!!”
Something strange happened to Baekseol, who was about to deliver the finishing blow.
Her body began to shrink.
“Kyaaaak!”
The opponent with a similar build suddenly began to shrink in size.
The blood-colored fox, writhing in pain with its eye pierced by the beak, watched this scene with its remaining good eye.
A golden opportunity to finish off the opponent!
Not missing the chance, enduring the pain, it rushed forward and bit down hard on Baekseol’s neck.
“Piiiik!!”
Baekseol, with her neck caught, screamed in terrible agony.
“It got her good!!”
“Tear her apart!!”
“Now’s our chance! Let’s rush in and kill that thing!!”
The moment that seemed like defeat suddenly turned around.
The Blood Cult followers’ eyes turned blood-red as they cheered.
Then they grabbed their weapons and rushed to help the fox finish off Baekseol.
“No!!”
“Help the North Sea Albatross!!”
“Stop them!!”
The warriors of Namgung and Muyong cried out in despair at the suddenly reversed situation.
At the same time, seeing the Blood Cult warriors rushing to finish off Baekseol, they deployed their martial arts to stop them.
The two forces clashed once again.
However, unlike the initial overwhelming dominance of Namgung and Muyong.
This time they weren’t so easily defeated.
They blocked and even counterattacked.
It felt as if they had been influenced by something and grown stronger.
“They’ve changed!”
“Don’t let your guard down!”
The situation intensified.
Even amid this, Baekseol was in danger.
The giant blood-colored fox had her neck in its jaws, shaking and refusing to let go.
Piiiik!
“No, no, Baekseol— Cough, cough!”
Hearing Baekseol’s screams, Namgung Cheon-gang tried somehow to help.
But he was in even greater danger.
He knew why this was happening.
His internal energy had been rapidly depleted.
The internal energy used for Baekseol’s enlargement came entirely from Namgung Cheon-gang.
Of course, Baekseol had her own natural energy, but seven out of ten parts came from Namgung Cheon-gang’s internal energy.
He had maintained it for a long time and unleashed countless powerful attacks.
It was natural for his internal energy to be rapidly consumed.
Moreover, being too absorbed in the fight, he didn’t realize his internal energy was nearly depleted.
Since his innate energy had been significantly drawn upon.
His insides were in chaos, and blood inevitably leaked out.
‘To only realize this now… I was too careless!’
No, that wasn’t the problem right now.
He could somehow fix himself later.
Right now, Baekseol, who was crying in pain with her neck caught by the beast, was the priority.
For now, no flesh and blood were flying.
But seeing the blue energy bursting from the bitten area, it wouldn’t be long before a brutal scene unfolded.
‘I’ve already used my innate true energy? Let me use more.’
Baekseol, whom he had saved with his own hands.
All this time chirping, being held, and snuggling.
Since their hearts were connected, she was truly like his own child.
For such a Baekseol, what would his own body matter?
‘I’ll just sleep a bit and eat some nutritious food to recover.’
Namgung Cheon-gang gritted his teeth.
Just as he was about to use his innate true energy to fill his empty dantian.
“Master.”
The woman in his arms called to Namgung Cheon-gang.
Even when falling to his knees, Namgung Cheon-gang hadn’t let go of the woman in his arms.
“Yes? Oh, was it Lady Hoyeol?”
Looking down at the woman at the sound of her voice, Namgung Cheon-gang only now realized that the woman in his arms was Hoyeol.
“It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Let’s save the greetings for later. Something else is more urgent right now. First, please don’t misunderstand.”
“Yes? What do you— Mmph!”
Hoyeol pulled Namgung Cheon-gang’s neck toward her and kissed him.
Namgung Cheon-gang’s eyes widened.
He wanted to ask what this heart-fluttering behavior was about!
But the internal energy filling his empty dantian explained the reason for this unexpected act.
There was no need to ask.
Smooch.
The unexpected act that occurred in an instant also ended in an instant.
“You can’t just stand there dazed, can you?”
Any dazedness from the unexpected act vanished.
Namgung Cheon-gang nodded and sprang to his feet.
Hoyeol remained in his arms.
When Namgung Cheon-gang stood up, it became a princess carry with one arm.
“Oh my, oh my?”
Hoyeol’s coquettish voice.
Namgung Cheon-gang couldn’t hear it.
His upright and clear eyes looked at only one place.
Baekseol.
Fed by the full internal energy of his dantian.
Growing vigorously again and increasing in size, his child raised with his heart.
“Piiiik!”
Her thickened neck became solid.
Power overflowed.
Baekseol raised both wings and grabbed the jaws of the fox that was biting her neck.
Namgung Cheon-gang’s eyes flashed.
“Grab it and tear!”
“Piiik!!”
Riiip!
Baekseol grabbed the fox’s mouth and pulled it apart to both sides.
The fox’s mouth helplessly stretched open up and down.
“Keeeng!”
The fox screamed as its mouth was forced open wider than it could naturally stretch.
However, Baekseol’s attack wasn’t over yet.
“Baekseol! Grab the jaw and lift!”
“Piiiik!”
She grabbed the opened jaw and lifted it.
“Spin it around!”
“Piik!!”
She spun it around.
“Throw it!!”
She threw it.
“Double Silk Thread!!”
“Piiiik!”
Baekseol spread both wings and folded them.
Pichuwwwwwk!!
Silk threads poured out from both wings, swiftly wrapping around the fox’s body that had shot up into the sky.
The fox instantly became a cocoon.
“Grab the silk thread!”
Baekseol firmly grasped the end of the silk thread that had turned the fox into a cocoon.
“Slam it down!”
“Piiiik!!”
She slammed it down as commanded.
Kwaaaaang!!
“The other way!”
“Piiiik!”
Understanding perfectly.
Slamming it the opposite way.
Kwaaang!
“Repeat!!”
Kwang! Kwang!! Kwaaaang!!
The ground shot up.
Rocks rose up.
The ground caved in.
An earthquake occurred.
Kwang! Kwang!!
The sky rumbled.
Jeon-gak collapsed.
“Keep going!! Kuleok!!”
Namgung Cheon-gang coughed up blood as he screamed at the top of his lungs.
“Piiiik!! Kullek!”
Baekseol also coughed up blue energy as she continued the slamming.
What Namgung Cheon-gang had envisioned.
Just as Namgung Cheon-gang had thought.
Baekseol perfectly demonstrated the ‘Silk Thread Slam.’
Kwang! Kwang!!
“…”
“…You want us to catch something like that?”
They might as well hold a funeral and tell us to die.
The Blood Cult followers who had briefly.
Gained the upper hand and felt encouraged.
Immediately lost their fighting spirit.
Kuuuung!
The final slam.
The fox didn’t even have a scream left.
It just had its tongue hanging out long.
Only panting heavily.
Baekseol placed her bright yellow feet on top of the fox’s body.
Then she folded both wings up and shouted.
“Piiiik!!”
The WWC victory pose that she did well without being taught.
A smile naturally bloomed on Namgung Cheon-gang’s face.
“As expected, that’s my baby.”
It was a spectacular finish.
Namgung Cheon-gang smiled brightly and collapsed with a thud.
