Episode 789. The Great Stronghold, ‘Hwagwasan (Flower Fruit Mountain)’ (1)

“Ugh… .”

“Coolook! Kk! Keuk… .”

“Hey, save me!”

“Move the wounded over here!”

“Water, bring me clean water right now!”

A battlefield filled with screams and shouts.

A large number of monkeys were lying on the ground, covered in blood.

The fighting, which lasted more than five hours, resulted in a huge number of deaths and injuries.

The beautiful Hwagwasan Mountain has been dyed red.

“Your Majesty, you must step down.”

Seong-sun, one of the elders, shouted.

A situation where there is a huge difference in numbers.

In the meantime, continuing to wage a war of attrition was crazy.

“… … .”

Jecheon Daeseong bit his molars until they broke.

He tried to overcome his lack of numbers by pressing down with overwhelming force, but the primordial beings blocking him did not easily give him a way.

It is a strategy to slowly reduce strength through joint attacks.

“It’s really amazing.”

“That’s right. I didn’t know monkey hunting would be this hard.”

“Hahahaha! Well, to be honest, you have to be at least this good to be worthy of that arrogant title.”

The hounds of Tindalos, including Barabys, each spoke a word.

Three of the elders of the twelve zodiac signs were killed, and hundreds of the shoggas that were brought with them were turned into pieces of meat.

As the saying goes.

It’s hard to believe that this was done by just one individual.

but.

No matter how strong you are, there are limits to what an individual can achieve.

Jecheon Daeseong could not cover the entire battlefield by himself.

“… retreats inward.”

Jecheon Daeseong made a difficult decision.

It was painful to give up the gateway that could be called the entrance to all territories, but if we pushed it any further, we could lose the entire Hwagwa Mountain.

Immediately, the large army began to retreat into the mountain in a single movement.

The monkeys, who knew the terrain perfectly, disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

“Don’t chase me!”

One of Tindalos’ hounds cried out.

If we follow them to that dangerous terrain for no reason, we will only end up losing more troops, and just securing this place will already have achieved all of our original goals.

It is no exaggeration to call it a victory.

but.

“That can’t be!”

“If we don’t catch those guys now, there will be big trouble!”

“I agree.”

A strong backlash erupted from the twelve zodiac signs who had lost their elders.

Having lost so many of my own kind, I felt like I would only feel better if I tore apart the monkeys that turned their backs and ran away.

“Those idiots don’t even understand the topic and dare to spit on someone’s words….”

“Okay. Leave me alone.”

Barabys, who had been watching, waved his hand.

Far from being disappointing, he actually seemed to find it amusing.

Revenge is a good motive.

There is no need to throw away firewood when a great victory has been achieved.

Even if they suffer damage, it is their own fault.

If the main force was intact, it didn’t matter how many of those guys died. Above all, there wasn’t enough blood to make me feel better.

*

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A pursuit force was immediately formed.

The twelve zodiac warriors, mad with rage, approached the inside of the mountain from different directions.

“Kill them all!”

“Not a single one should be left behind!”

In particular, the warriors of the four tribes who suffered the most damage were in a state of high spirits.

After injecting a lot of poison, it seemed like I would have to swallow it alive in one bite to feel any relief.

How far up the mountain did you climb?

Although there were enormous casualties, they managed to chase down a fairly sizable group of monkeys.

“Ugh.”

Seong-sun, one of the elders.

In order to safely evacuate the injured, they chose the most dangerous and tricky route.

“elder….”

“There is a cliff ahead.”

“I guess this is it.”

A shadow fell over the faces of the warriors who had been with him.

They instinctively realized that this was their grave.

“It’s a shame that I lost my main force, Seongsun. Now that I’ve caught you, I’m not in such a bad mood. Anyway, the ones who ran away are just going to be found and killed one by one.”

“Aren’t you ashamed to say something like that? Those guys who normally wouldn’t even look at each other in the direction of Hwagwasan are acting like crazy.”

Kaak tho.

Seongsun spat out a curse.

“It’s the flow of a new era. They decided to move because a cowardly man came here.”

so.

Don’t complain, just die regretting going against the trend.

Clank!

All kinds of weapons were spewing forth aura.

But, at the very moment when a one-sided massacre was about to take place.

Kwakwakwakwa!

A colorful storm swept through.

“Kwaaah!”

“Shhh!”

High-density magic power that transcends common sense.

When the abilities that utilized each of their characteristics were concentrated in one place, a terrible disaster occurred.

“I am the enemy!”

“Left side. There’s one on the right too. All of them… strong men!”

The warriors who sensed the change a little late reorganized their formation.

However, the damage had already been so great that it was irreversible.

Because there were hundreds of casualties rolling around.

“Hmm. I guess this is Hwagwasan. It’s not a bad sight.”

“Fortunately, I guess it’s not too late.”

“I will focus on protecting the injured.”

Led by Ellis, Teresa, and the Frost Spirit.

[The machine legion switches to ‘annihilation mode’.]

[aye aye sir.]

A huge number of drones have switched off their invisible mode in the sky.

Blue light gathering at the main gun.

“Mosquitoes!”

“Miyooooo!”

Two ancient bells roared in the sky.

“Please take care of the elders and executives. I will take care of the ordinary warriors.”

Lee Tae-min dominated the battlefield.

Bombing drones blocked all routes, including the escape route.

Boom!

The fighting girl standing in front clashed the gauntlets on her two hands.

“Snake wine and snake meat for dinner?”

The flexibility whetted my appetite.

like that.

“I’m here to help.”

The old people’s corporation, including Jinhyeok, joined Jecheon Daeseong’s side.

***

A new wind blowing on the battlefield.

The one-sided chase came to a lull due to the intervention of a force that no one could ignore.

The elite of the Sajok were completely wiped out in less than an hour… .

… … Naturally, it is impossible to continue with the next number.

The hounds of Barabys and Tindalos, who despised everything, also showed extreme wariness at the name Kang Jinhyeok.

A monster that hunts even primordial beings.

No matter how strong one was, one could not help but feel nervous in front of him.

“Thanks to you, I didn’t lose my loved ones. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my clan.”

Jecheon Daeseong put his hand on Jinhyeok’s shoulder.

A warm and contagious energy.

It means that I truly feel that I have been blessed.

“Don’t mention it. I was just doing what I had to do as an ally.”

Jinhyuk especially emphasized the word ‘alliance’.

This is how a relationship is formed where you can stay together without having to gamble.

As soon as you acknowledge this, you will have a justification to thoroughly exploit the yolk-top stronghold called Hwagwasan.

And of course.

Given the atmosphere, Jecheon Daeseong also had no choice but to go with the flow.

“Thank you for saying so.”

good.

With this, we have passed the first hurdle.

Next is….

“By the way, my comrades suffered a lot of injuries from having to come here to protect the ‘alliance’.”

Ahem! Big!

Try to clear your throat.

Ah. No, not this one, lower it by about 2 tones.

You should show signs of emotional surging and your throat becoming hoarse.

“It’s called a symptom of a runaway magic power. You’ve probably heard of it. There are people who suffer from it. There’s nothing I can do about it. My heart… is torn apart.”

Jinhyuk took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes.

Of course, nothing got on the dry, fluffy handkerchief.

“… … ?”

“horsepower….”

“Runaway?”

Everyone tilted their heads.

Jinhyuk was the one who told us to just sit back and watch, as he was creating a dramatic situation rather than an explosion of magical power.

Getting enough rest and even viewing the autumn foliage at Mt. Hwagwa was a bonus.

Right then.

Poke!

“Kkaaaah!”

Undine rolled on the floor, clutching her shins.

“Look. This is a side effect that appears when magical power runs wild. How painful it is… I believe you will know right away when you see it. If we leave it alone, the same tragedy will happen to the rest of the kids.”

Jinhyuk looked at the rest of the spirits with cold eyes.

Just crawl on your own.

If you don’t want everyone to end up the same.

The effect was immediate, even without saying it out loud.

The rest of the summoned beings fell down, one by one, clutching their limbs.

“I’m dying. I’m dying!”

“Mosquito!”

“Master, please save me. My body, my body feels like it’s going to burn!”

“Miyooooo!”

If you don’t notice, you’re a corpse.

The acting skills of the employees who had fully adapted to the harsh corporate life were at their peak.

“Did you have to go through all that because of us?”

Jecheon Daeseong’s expression darkened even further.

Because he knows better than anyone else how heartbreaking it is to sacrifice his subordinates and people.

“If there is anything we can do to help, please tell us. We will provide full support to the extent we can.”

“Are you serious about that?”

“Of course. You are no different from the benefactors of the clan. I promise you this in the name of the King.”

Hoo.

I got caught.

Jinhyuk dropped his handkerchief on the floor.

“By the way, I heard that there is something here that is excellent for increasing magical powers. It tastes good and is a delicious fruit with good effects.”

“no way….”

Yeah, that’s true.

Peaches of the heavenly land.

It is a heavenly fruit that is commonly said to extend one’s lifespan by 3,000 years if eaten alone.

The effects of nectar, ambrosia, or holy water in the middle layer. However, in terms of usability and difficulty of acquisition, it had an incomparable advantage.

If done properly, this could be one of the sweetest rewards you can get from level 49.

“That, that is….”

Jecheon Daeseong trailed off, as if he was troubled.

“No!”

“It should be written solely for our clan!”

The voices of opposition poured out like a flood.

I understand.

To put it simply, it meant the same thing as asking for a spear or a magic wand.

However, it is impossible for Jecheon Daeseong to be bitten since he has already put his name on it.

Do you think I’m just making up excuses for nothing?

“Yes. Well. Then our children should just die. Children. Your lives are not even lives, so just blame the heavens and return to the dust.”

“Mosquitoes… .”

“Miyooo… .”

“Okay… I’ll go first, master.”

Everyone hung their heads helplessly.

It’s a scene that would have caused animal protection groups around the world to rise up in protest at any moment.

“Wait, I get it. I get it.”

In the end, Jecheon Daeseong decided to keep the promise he had made.

“How many peaches do you need?”

“Hmm. That’s it.”

Jinhyuk folded his fingers one by one.

I think from memory there are about 1,256 peaches.

I have a conscience too.

I don’t intend to ask for everything.

“1,200.”

I think that would be a good amount of physical and mental compensation.

There won’t be any complaints since they left about 56 of them for you to eat as snacks.

Remember.

Leaving behind the jaw-dropping Jecheon Daeseong and the elders, Jinhyeok began to calmly draw out the things he would do with Cheondo Peach.
