126. Land of the Blind (5)

Myeong-il and Yeo Hong-yang were staring blankly in the empty room. It wasn’t that dark because there was a lamp, but they would have preferred it to be dark. They had been in conflict recently and were not talking.

“……hmm.”

Only awkward silence flowed. In fact, Tomorrow wasn’t much different from usual. Usually Tomorrow didn’t talk much.

However, Yeo Hong-yang was a little different. As a merchant, he was extremely uncomfortable with silence. In the end, it was Yeo Hong-yang who spoke first.

“Hey, Dojo.”

“why?”

“Those kids, do you think they’re confident?”

Yeo Hong-yang said, scratching her cheek in embarrassment.

“oneself?”

“Yeah. I didn’t even take the sword from the dojo.”

“That’s right.”

Myeong-il looked at the sword hanging from his waist. After all, Yeo Hong-yang didn’t have a sword, and Myeong-il was still a child. Myeong-il’s sword didn’t pose much of a threat to the Black Swordsmen.

“But I can still protect you.”

Myeong-il said nonchalantly. Yeo Hong-yang also knew. Myeong-il was originally that kind of person.

I felt a little embarrassed that I had not spoken to him because I was fighting for no reason. Of course, Myeong-il was the same, but they were different ages and had different paths to take. If I had been a mature businessman, I would have made peace with Myeong-il somehow.

Suddenly, I thought I understood why Muk Hwi-yeong insisted on becoming friends with Myeong-il. If you embrace the contradictions and they cease to be contradictions, then in the end, a person’s capacity will grow. If he had that kind of thought in mind when he put them together, then how big of a capacity did Muk Hwi-yeong have?

“coating.”

“huh.”

“I’m sorry.”

“……not really.”

Myeong-il turned his head. Myeong-il was also slightly reproaching himself for not being a proper Taoist priest.

They could confirm each other’s feelings through the conversation just now. And now was not the time to be quiet and not talk.

“But what is Mukhwiyoung thinking?”

“well.”

“Shouldn’t we help?”

“I don’t think either you or I can help you.”

Myeong-il cut off the words coldly. It might not be the case for other black magicians with their eyes open, but among the blind, there were many masters whose sunken veins suddenly appeared. Muk-hwi-yeong probably wouldn’t be able to defeat them all. So Myeong-il was curious about Muk-hwi-yeong’s intentions for doing this.

At that moment, a scream echoed from afar along with the sound of weapons clashing. Because it was a cave, the sound was three-dimensional and the scream seemed to be even sharper.

“……crazy.”

Yeo Hongyang muttered absentmindedly. The only people who could make such noise here were foreigners. However, Myeongil and Yeo Hongyang remained silent, so it must have been Muk Hwiyeong who caused the noise.

Myeongil immediately pushed open the stone door. But the door did not open. It seemed to be blocked from the outside.

Yeo Hong-yang pushed with her shoulder and kicked with the sole of her foot, but the door did not budge.

“Don’t even think about coming out!”

There was a sound of someone guarding outside the door.

“Get out of the way.”

Myeongil ignored those words and sent Yeohongyang aside. Yeohongyang stared blankly at Myeongil.

‘It’s beautiful.’

It’s funny to think like this from the perspective of someone who just made peace, but Myeongil’s tai chi was so gentle that it reminded me of dance. How could he possibly push a thick stone door with such gestures?

The palm of Myeongil’s hand, which had been elegantly cutting through the air, pushed the stone away as if it was being pushed away.

“… … Dojo, is that right?”

Yeo Hongyang asked as if it was ridiculous. She just put her hand on the person in front of her as if calling them. Do you think that thick rock will break with that?

Crack. The stone door cracked and collapsed. Yeo Hongyang opened her mouth wide. She knew that the unmanned people lived in another world, but she could never get used to breaking the stone door with such movements.

“What, what is it!”

Naturally, the blacksmiths guarding the stone gate were also in an uproar.

However, most of the black swordsmen only know how to swing a sword and have never learned systematic martial arts.

He was no match for Myeong-il, who had been learning martial arts in earnest since childhood.

In an instant, Myeongil used the golden sword technique to snatch the weapons from the black swordsmen, then stabbed them in the back of the neck to knock them down.

“Hey, they’re out!”

“Catch him! He said it was okay to kill him!”

At that moment, several black men appeared at the end of the road. Their blood-stained faces were clearly full of murderous intent.

“under.”

Yeo Hongyang felt a pang in her heart when she saw that. She felt like all the strength had drained from her legs and her entire body.

It was so strange for him, a young master from a wealthy family, to be subjected to such raw murder.

“in action!”

Myeongil shouted and grabbed my hand.

Yeo Hongyang, who didn’t know what to do with her feet, started to jump in the opposite direction at the shout. Fortunately, the black thieves who were chasing her hadn’t mastered the lightness of rising, so they couldn’t go beyond the jumping level of an adult male.

Myeongil stood behind Yeo Hongyang and blocked the flying daggers and swords.

“There it is!”

At the end of the road they were running on, black magicians appeared. However, this cemetery was at least connected to all four directions, so there was always a way out. Myeong-il and Yeo Hong-yang immediately turned to the side road.

Yeo Hongyang’s breathing became increasingly rapid. As a shaman’s disciple, she had at least minimal physical training, but it was natural that her stamina would be lacking compared to the black thieves who lived off of knives.

Before she knew it, she saw Myeong-il running next to her, matching her speed. Yeo Hong-yang decided to use up some of her precious breath.

“Dojang. Did you see the stairs in the darkness earlier?”

“I don’t think now is the time to say that.”

That’s right. Behind them, the clanging of iron was still coming closer.

“answer.”

Yeo Hongyang barely managed to catch her breath again. Myeongil looked at Yeo Hongyang’s face. Yeo Hongyang’s complexion was changing from red to pale. In that situation, it was impossible for words to be meaningless.

“Yeah. I saw it. That’s why I held your hand and went down.”

“good.”

As Yeo Hongyang ran, she grabbed the lantern attached to the wall and threw it to the ground. The flame burning in the small lantern went out immediately.

“From now on, we’ll run hand in hand. Dojo.”

Yeo Hong-yang grabbed Myeong-il’s hand first. Her sweaty hand was hot. Myeong-il knew right away what Yeo Hong-yang was going to do.

Among the people with their eyes open here, there aren’t many who have the power to see through the darkness. It was natural, since Marahyeolbul had gathered together various dark people.

“Isn’t it hot?”

Myeongil asked as he ran. Yeo Hongyang was carelessly striking and putting out the burning lantern with his bare hands. If he was a martial artist wearing a self-defense weapon, it would be understandable, but Yeo Hongyang was just an ordinary citizen.

“There’s no way it wouldn’t be hot!”

It was not that Yeo Hongyang’s skin had already turned red. However, Myeongil could not turn off the light. This was because Myeongil had to use his sword to ward off the weapons that were flying intermittently from behind. Since he was holding onto one hand, each person could only use one hand.

“Eww!”

As the lights in several alleys went out completely, there was the sound of people crashing and falling.

Certainly, Yeo Hongyang’s number was enough to hinder those pursuing from behind. Also, in the dark road where the lights had already been turned off, Myeongil could easily cut ahead.

“You crazy guys!”

Behind them, the black knights could be heard making indignant sounds. Yeo Hong-yang and Myeong-il continued to run like that.

“Haa, haa.”

But that strategy also had its limitations. He didn’t know the way out, and Yeo Hongyang’s physical strength was only that of a commoner.

In the end, it meant that she would have no choice but to wander around and get stuck. Yeo Hong-yang looked at the road at the intersection where the intersection was open. She had wandered around so many times that four out of the five roads were dark.

Yeo Hongyang exhaled deeply and released the hand she was holding. Myeongil looked at Yeo Hongyang.

“What are you doing?”

“Dojang. I think you’ll have to go alone from now on.”

“what?”

On rare occasions, Myeongil’s brow furrowed.

But Yeo Hong-yang, on the other hand, burst into laughter. It was because she was extremely happy that she had cracked the icy face of the dojo.

“I’m already at my limit.”

Yeo Hongyang raised both hands. She spoke as if she was relaxed, but Yeo Hongyang was really at her limit. Her legs would not move at all, and she was dizzy from breathing too much in a short period of time. The skin on her palms was completely white and blistered. Even to Myeongil, it certainly seemed that Yeo Hongyang had no more strength to move.

“I’ll carry you.”

“Hey. How is that going to work? Just go alone.”

“A shaman doesn’t abandon people.”

“A rule without exception is a bad habit. At that age, you’ve already become an old fart.”

“Get up.”

“Rather than dying together, you should go out alive and take revenge. Wouldn’t that be more reasonable?”

“There is no choice but to live together.”

While Yeo Hong-yang and Myeong-il were arguing, the black knights gradually came closer. The black knights were in a state of high spirits.

“go!”

Now, Yeo Hong-yang was no longer laughing. When she hit Myeong-il on the back and shouted, Myeong-il raised his voice in return.

“Why are you hitting me!”

“Does that matter now? Go away!”

Myung-il’s eyes wavered. Should he really abandon him like Yeo Hong-yang said? Was that really the right choice? If he ran away now, he could run away.

But is that right? All the things I learned from the shaman. All the things the shaman gave me. All the things I experienced from the shaman. All the things I felt from the shaman. I was shaking my head and saying that it wasn’t true.

Myeongil gripped the sword tightly with both hands and shook his head to clear his mind of distracting thoughts.

“no.”

“what?”

“I didn’t say that to you. I said that to me.”

You shouldn’t run away. That’s not how I was taught.

Before we knew it, the black magicians had blocked all the roads leading to the intersection.

“Those little rats. I finally caught them.”

One of the black swordsmen came out with his eyes wide open. Myeong-il clenched his lips. He was confident that he could win if they fought one-on-one, but he couldn’t win against at least twenty people. And he also had Yeo Hong-yang behind him to protect.

As Myeongil focused on his sword and poured all his energy into it, a leisurely voice that was completely out of place was heard from somewhere.

“Wow. You did a good job.”

Everyone turned to where the voice had come from. There, covered in blood, was Mukhwiyeong, holding a sword.

“… … ?”

It took some time for everyone to accept the situation.

The Black Swordsmen knew how strong the blind men who had been here for a long time were. The fact that the one who should have been killed by the blind men was there meant one thing. Mukhwiyeong had killed all the other blind men.

As Muk Hwi-yeong took a step closer, the black demons all took a step back as if they had conspired. Right now, Muk Hwi-yeong still had the killing power from having killed many people.

The black people even made way for Muk Hwi-yeong as he walked slowly. Soon, Muk Hwi-yeong was able to approach Yeo Hong-yang and Myeong-il, who were standing there blankly.

“You held up well.”

Mukhwiyoung smiled brightly as she looked at the two.

And then, in the middle of the intersection, fog began to rise.
