Chapter 29
Episode 29
“…You are amazing.”
Gyeongin looked at the trembling bow and spoke in a low voice.
“I was lucky. “It’s a good bow.”
Shooting an arrow accurately at a target hundreds of meters away was a skill that was almost magical.
‘As expected… it’s the same bow, but it’s completely different from when I shot it.’
But what thrilled Gyeongin more than the amazing skill was the person who shot the bow.
‘I never thought I’d see him using a bow again…’
This was because it was his father, Jeon Tae-ho, who was in a coma.
“It was blurry, but I was conscious. But it didn’t move. So, I thought about it every time I regained consciousness. “I wonder if the world changed so much when I was able to see my son again.”
Jeon Tae-ho handed the bow to Gyeong-in and said.
“But I had no idea that the world would change in this way. “It’s nice to be able to see you though.”
Then he slowly came down the rooftop stairs and said.
“I never thought the moment would come when I could walk the world on my own two feet again. I received great grace from a person named Namgung. And to you too.”
Gyeongin shook his head at his words.
“What I did was nothing special. But it’s clear that we owe a debt to Uncle Namgoong.”
“okay. “It’s something you have to pay back.”
Then he handed him the bow he was carrying on his back.
It wasn’t as good as the [Shooter’s Bow] that I used a little while ago, but the bow was bent quite flexibly.
“Of all the bows I can get, it’s still the most expensive…”
“Hmm. “It’s well balanced.”
Jeon Tae-ho took the bow his son gave him, looked at it a few times, and nodded as if he was satisfied.
The feel of the bow in my hand wasn’t too bad.
“Or would you like me to give you this?”
“done. This is enough. Rather, stay alert. “You should shoot better than Abby, who just woke up.”
“Hmm… I’ve been putting away my bow for the same amount of time as my father, right?”
Jeon Tae-
ho laughed and drew his bow. At that moment, Gyeongin could see that his eyes changed.
Paang—!!
When I let go of the hand that was pulling the string, a sound like a tearing roar erupted.
[Keeeeek!!!]
The arrow flew like a flash and pierced exactly through the top of the monster’s head.
“hmm.”
Jeon Tae-ho pulled out an arrow as he watched the monster falling helplessly.
Creepy –
The moment he saw that scene, Gyeongin’s shoulders trembled slightly.
Those eyes that I have seen countless times on TV’s cathode ray tube, but have never seen in person.
It was not the gaze of his father Jeon Tae-ho, but of Jeon Tae-ho, the national Olympic archer.
The myth of archery’s invincibility has returned.
* * *
“It’s called Katsumata.”
A man wearing a black mask appeared next to Erica and spoke to Namgung.
“It looks like you prepared quite a bit for this. “I never thought even the head of Biwol would come here.”
“I guess that means it’s such a serious issue. Or the assumption that the person you just met is an equally dangerous enemy.”
“It’s reassuring that you evaluate me that way. “You already know the name well, so I don’t think there’s any need to introduce it.”
Tung-
Namgung said while lightly tapping on the large glass window.
“I’m going to tell you now how to close that thing.”
“Hunting the world boss. “I will cooperate, but I have no intention of offering the head of my prey to you.”
“Are you confident?”
“of course.”
Namgung chuckled at Katsumata’s words. The small dagger strapped to his waist was not common.
‘That scabbard made from carved horn… I think it’s probably a mammoth’s ivory dagger.’
It was a fairly expensive magic grade weapon.
‘I guess Erica gave the author all the heads she had collected.’
The blade most trusted by Ninagawa Erika.
That was Katsumata.
“Then let me give you one piece of advice. Hunting is only possible if your hands and feet work together. “You don’t have to worry about the gates of hell opening above you.”
“…?”
“Because there is someone who can take care of that for you.”
Namgoong pointed to 63 Square and smiled strangely.
“The Gate of Hell is an important medium that announces the summoning of monsters, but not all monsters come through that gate.”
As he said, the goblins summoned from the first hell gate also appeared from the ground and underground, although the gate was floating in the sky.
“Then where does the world boss appear?”
“Look carefully from now on. Because you will find out why I chose this meeting place. What’s important is not the sky, but the sky below. “It’s under the water.”
Wow…!!
At that moment, a whirlpool began to form in the center of the Han River and gradually began to grow in size.
Kwakagaga River—!!
Something came out of the whirlpool, which was sucked into an inverted cone like a drain draining water, and spewed out a huge stream of water.
“That…”
Although he was covered by a mask, Katsumata’s voice alone was enough to imagine his distorted expression.
“Serpent. “The boss of the second Gate of Hell and the monster that ate the oceans of the world.”
[Crrrrrrr….]
Namgung looked at the huge sea snake floating on the lake and spoke in a low voice.
“Are you saying we have to catch that…?”
The serpent’s eyes were as big as those of an adult man, moving back and forth as if searching for prey.
“Don’t be scared. We’ll have to hunt more in the future. “I’m not a low-ranking person like that, but over time, I’ll have to hunt dragons as well.”
“…yes?”
“Anyway, it’s an absurd size, but there are still hunting methods. “Snake monsters all have a common weakness.”
“What is that?”
“Cutting off the groin under the chin.”
As Namgung pointed out, there was a scale growing in the opposite direction on the neck of the giant serpent that broke through the Han River.
“It’s not impossible to remove just one scale.”
“okay. Dragon hunting is simpler than you think. Besides, the intelligence of a serpent is not as smart as that of a dragon.”
Katsumata nodded at his words.
“But the problem lies elsewhere.”
“What is?”
“The weapons we have are so inferior. “I wonder if I can hold out until the fifth gate of hell opens… The Serpent’s scales don’t have a scratch unless it’s a rare level weapon or higher.”
“So…”
Erica frowned at Namgoong’s words.
“As far as I know, there is only one person who has a rare or higher level weapon at the moment…”
Alek Traman’s Star Sea Sword.
“that’s right. Actually, the second Gate of Hell is more of an event for him. “After he hunted the Serpent, he became a hero to the whole world, just as he had hoped.”
“Is the reason you called Alek Traman to use him to kill Yeokrin?”
“no. If that happens, you’ll give him the ball. “The reason I called him was just to take care of my back.”
“Well ….
”
Wow!!
It was then.
With a sharp sound, the window where Namgung was standing shattered, and an arrow flew out and got stuck.
“…!!!”
Katsumata hurriedly pulled Erika back and backed away.
“What are you doing…!!”
“There are always variables that cannot be known even with foresight.”
Namgung pulled out the arrow stuck on the floor and cut the rope that was tied to it.
“There is one more weapon that can cut the enemy.”
He looked down outside the broken window. Gyeongin greeted him and quickly started walking across the road.
‘Seeing as the weapon was handed over to me, it seems that Myeong-hoon is also safe.’
Slurp –
Namgung drew the penitent’s sword and spoke to Katsumata.
“Then, shall we take a look at Biwol’s skills?”
Damn…!!
Namgoong threw himself out of the broken window.
“Protect Erica well.”
As soon as Katsumata finished speaking, three assassins appeared behind her.
* * *
Coogggggggg…!!
The waters of the Han River overflowed like waves and overflowed into India.
“…It’s even more amazing when you see it up close.”
“You’re going to have to do some acrobatics.”
“yes?”
Shoo! Shush…!!
At that moment, two arrows flew from the intersection above. There was a thin wire attached to the end of the arrow.
[Kaaaaagh—!!!]
Two arrows hit the serpent’s skin between its scales.
“Are you fine? “It’s your specialty.”
Before hearing Katsumata’s answer, Namgung jumped over the Han River with all his might and grabbed the wire.
Jiiiing…!!
There was a small device in his hand. Namgoong threw the other one to Katsumata and pressed the button on the device, and it started running along the wire at high speed.
“…crazy.”
As Namgung climbed the wire and headed towards the monster amidst the turbulent serpent’s rampage, he shouted as if he were dumbfounded.
“That wire…”
“I know. Everyone stand by. “From here on, I’m going alone.”
“But…”
“It’s too dangerous.”
The fifteen secret assassins hiding in the dark shouted at Katsumata’s command.
“It’s too much for you. Instead, there will be archers above who fired arrows just a moment ago. Watch them. “For the evacuation, their safety comes first.”
Katsumata wore the device Namgung gave him on his ankle.
“I guess that’s why I called you.”
He didn’t want to admit it, but he couldn’t help it.
“It seems that the author knew not only Erica but also me.”
His face behind the mask smiled.
I don’t know how they got it, but the wires and devices attached to the arrows were all things they had used.
“Ride the rope… I’m good at it, just like you said.”
It felt like something had happened, but somehow Katsumata didn’t feel too bad.
Ride, ride…!!
At that moment, surprisingly, unlike Namgung, he got on the precarious wire and started running.
Paaah-!!!
A sense of balance and speed that cannot be considered human abilities.
Zuiiiing…!!
As he ran on the wire, he passed Namgung in an instant.
[Crrrrrrr!!!]
Katsumata climbed on top of the Serpent, pulled out an ivory dagger and stabbed it between the scales.
Phew!!! Deep!! Green onions! Faba Park!!
I stabbed the dagger through the scales several times, but the wounds caused by the dagger to the huge serpent were only a few scratches.
“What the…”
“It really deserves to be called swallow wings. “You’re quick.”
Namgung climbed up the wire and plunged his sword into the Serpent’s head, then took a breath and said.
“But that doesn’t work?”
“Then what do you plan to do? Even if you try to cut down Yeokrin, it’s impossible to hang on to the inside of the neck. “If you fall by mistake, you die instantly.”
“I guess so. So, we need to lower the height of the inconvenience. So that we can reach.”
“What is that….”
Coogggggggg—!!!
At that moment, the Serpent began to stir his body to get to land.
“Ugh…?!”
Katsumata lost his balance and stumbled due to the shaking servant.
Wow!!
Just as he was about to fall from the monster’s head, Namgung grabbed his hand.
“Huh huh… huh…”
“Nothing. “All you have to do is dig into its stomach.”
“…!!!!!!!”
As if he knew his eyes were trembling behind the mask, Namgoong grinned and raised his hand that was holding him with all his strength.
[Kaaaaagh…!!!!!!]
And then, the cave-like maw of a huge snake swallowed them both up.
