The World of Sound - Chapter 19
Only Krnovel
“Oh my, great heroes! Why did you come out here! Now we are all dead!”
“There was no choice. They were all here with the intention of killing you from the beginning. If you want to die, I won’t stop you, but if you want to live, call the unmanned personnel on board.”
As he paused for a moment with a look of disgust on his face, the captain misunderstood and let out a dying sound.
I had hoped for him when I heard that he was the Iron Lion Margin, but when I saw him so unsure, my eyes went dark.
Besides, honestly, I didn’t think Margin would be able to handle the Jang River waterway in the middle of Dongjeongho Lake, let alone on land.
It’s the same even if it’s just one water lily that’s attacking, not all of the water lilies.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are absolute beings in the water.
So, even though he called everyone on board as Margin had said, he couldn’t hide his anxious expression.
I couldn’t decide whether I should sail the ship as fast as possible towards land or wait quietly and hope for their mercy.
“Iron Lion? Is that really Margin?”
“But even if you are a steel lion, fighting the Jang Gangsu River here… … .”
“Which side should I join? If I surrender, won’t I be able to save my life?”
Other drones were also confused.
They are agonizing over whether it is right to fight against the Jang River waterway along the margin and whether they can survive if they surrender.
If they really are determined to annihilate us like Margin said, then I might just surrender and die a dog’s death.
Also, it’s something that can really win the margins or drive them out.
Therefore, only a few of the crew members with upright minds came up onto the deck.
The rest stayed on board, or pretended to be unmanned and even abandoned their weapons, while their ships quickly approached.
“I’ll take care of Chaeju. Can you take care of the others here?”
“It’s not difficult. I used to go fishing often. But… … You don’t want to do it all by yourself, do you?”
“… … .”
But their help was actually quite helpful.
Margin, who had been thinking about the level of support from Cheonhwa and the envoys of the non-responsive country from the beginning, asked Cheonhwa to take charge of the defense of the passenger ship as the enemy’s ship approached. Cheonhwa responded with a tone that he was slightly displeased, but did not refuse.
Although they said that their pockets were light, the pockets of the people they looked into were quite thick.
“I may be weak, but I will help.”
At that time, Aksomyeong stepped forward to offer his help.
“Are you okay?”
“If you don’t step forward after seeing their reckless behavior, you will be severely scolded by the elders of the family. That’s okay.”
Although his family could have been involved in the Jang Gangsu River scandal and suffered difficulties, he came forward regardless.
Even though it’s only a first-class review index, it won’t be a hindrance since he’s a descendant of a prestigious family.
“Guard the ship! Don’t let them come on deck!!”
Thanks to that, this side also gained some momentum.
As the three ships of the enemy approached, the number gradually decreased, but it was still a fight in a limited space.
If Margin could just catch up with the creditors quickly, the numerical disadvantage could easily be reversed.
“Then, please take care of this.”
Pfft!
And when they came within striking distance, Margin was the first to fire a missile at the ship that was presumed to be carrying the water cannon captain.
The aim was to divert the enemy’s strength and attention by making their ships the battlefield.
“Everyone, prepare for battle!!”
At that moment, the tension among the remaining crew members on the ship reached its peak. They had all heard of the infamous Jang Gangsu River.
As the saying goes, the evil spirits that live in the water, even Akso-myeong’s body was already stiff from the burden of dealing with the strongest and most vicious creatures in the water, but Cheon-hwa sat on the railing as if she was not under any tension or pressure and took out her jade flute.
“The audience has grown quite a bit.”
His gaze was not directed at the two ships approaching quickly. The ships were just bait, and there were more black figures swimming quickly in the water than those seen above them, approaching the ships.
“The performance fee will also increase!”
But it doesn’t matter.
His performance will be heard very well even by the audience underwater.
And of course, the performance fee was all they had.
Cheon Eum Shin Gong.
The head of Gwanak.
dissonance.
Strange sound waves that could not be considered musical spread around the ship.
Among them, the most concentrated one is underwater.
It is common for cold weapons, bows, and firearms to be greatly weakened when they come into contact with water, but it is a different story when it comes to sound energy.
Because water is an excellent medium for transmitting sound.
“Cough!”
“Coolook! Cluck!”
“Kueeeeek!”
At the same time, the guys who were approaching the water while unfolding their skills capsized and twisted their boats.
As I was confidently practicing my skills, the sudden cut off of my inner strength was a huge blow.
“Okay, shall we start fishing then?”
Cheon Eum Shin Gong.
The receiving area.
A storm of destruction.
With that appearance, Cheonhwa’s lips parted briefly as if she had slightly loosened her mouth, and then her playing began again.
The waves of the calm lake suddenly began to stir, and a turbulent storm arose around the passenger ship.
The water current became stronger and more destructive as it played like a strong breath.
“Gurrrrrrrr!!!”
It’s not just the water that ripples.
Instead, a strange change like a whirlpool occurred in the water, swallowing and tearing apart everything within its range.
It was as if Cheonhwa was controlling the water with her music.
“The boat is rocking. Hold on tight!”
“It’s not even the sea, what the… …!”
“The lake, the lake spirit is angry!”
Of course, not a single person noticed that fact.
Margin had already crossed over to the main ship and was engaged in a fierce battle, while the unmanned personnel on the passenger ship were barely able to hold on, holding on to the railing and relying on each other to avoid falling from the ship that was rocking back and forth in the rapids.
“Okay. Is this still too much?”
Meanwhile, the color of the water was turning red, telling of the fate of those swimming in it, but Cheonhwa did not look very satisfied.
The power of receiving, which directly moves the energy of water, is still too much for him.
It wasn’t that hard, but compared to the amount of internal energy consumed, its power was far inferior to that of other herbivores.
It is a technique to directly move the natural power that he has not yet fully realized, and it is the first step to ascending the Cheon-eum Shingong, so he has not been able to fully draw out his power.
If it were possible, I would have been able to drown not only them but the entire group in one day.
“Even so, aren’t they pretty persistent friends?”
However, it was not a skill that could be called clumsy.
In particular, I thought it would be possible to completely drown those who had lost the art of watercraft and whose internal energy streams were cut off one by one, but as expected, there were quite a few who survived by displaying all kinds of skills, as if they were the so-called water ghosts of the Yangtze River.
They hid their bodies among the corpses of their comrades and approached the passenger ship stealthily like a water sprite, but they could not deceive Cheonhwa’s senses, which were already communicating with the water through sound.
“But which one comes first?”
But something was approaching the ship even faster than that.
There were two ships approaching the passenger ship through strong waves.
It must have been difficult to move the boat, as they were indeed the ones who could control the Yangtze River, but they immediately found a waterway and steered the boat.
“Put your stomach on!”
“Throw the hook!”
“Don’t delay, let’s go right ahead!”
There was a risk that the ships would collide and create a dangerous situation, but as soon as they got close enough, they all threw their hooks and grabbed onto the railings and other parts of the ship.
I safely landed on the boat by pulling it in using my internal energy, and before that, I flew up onto the rope connected to the hook.
“Stop them from coming over!”
“Get me off the boat!!”
But the resistance of the passenger ship was not easy.
The drones, who had been waiting in anticipation of close combat centered around the symbols of the non-responsive country, launched an offensive against the pirates crossing the ship.
Even though the enemies were not skilled in water, their martial arts skills were quite high, but even so, they were mostly second-rate to first-rate.
If they were determined to block them, it would be possible to buy enough time unless a high-level expert jumped in, so they desperately brandished their weapons and started throwing items from the ship to stop them until Margin returned after cleaning up the waterway.
“Huh!”
“These pyramid-like bastards!”
That desperate resistance was surprisingly effective.
Since there were only a limited number of paths one could jump into in order to board the ship, the most skilled of them took charge of blocking those paths, so that even the pirates could not jump in recklessly.
Among them, the one who boasted the most outstanding skills was Aksomyeong.
Because a spear is a weapon that originally had a great advantage in length.
Furthermore, he was the second-generation leader of the Shandong Academy, a master of spearmanship, so it was only natural that he would not be able to overcome two or three enemies of similar level flying at him at the same time.
Even though they are both first-class, Akso-myeong is close to the very end of first-class, and his martial arts skills are so deep that even without this geographical advantage, he is able to wipe out two or three enemies on flat ground.
“Roll the boat!”
“Show them who we are!!”
Then the enemies changed their methods.
After the classic incursion and close combat failed, some grabbed the upper part of the boat with hooks, while others jumped into the water and began shaking the lower part of the boat.
“Huh?!”
“The center… … !”
“Get out of the way! I’ll fall over!!”
Their methods certainly worked.
The reason why it was relatively easy to block the enemy’s attacks on the passenger ship was because they were able to move freely.
They have always practiced and fought only on flat ground, so there is no way they can exert their strength on a rocking ship.
The foundation of all martial arts comes from a strong lower body.
When you properly supported your feet on the ground, you could step on the Jin-gak and transmit your strength and internal energy to your fingertips, but in a situation where your center of gravity wavers at any moment and the foothold that was supposed to support you dissipates your strength, you could not properly use your strength or perform martial arts.
“let’s go!!”
On the other hand, the pirates were used to such shaking and fighting on the ship.
Rather, it was natural that the results of their training would stand out, as they were accustomed to boats enough to cause tremors on flat ground.
“Get out of here!!”
Chaeng-! Chaeng! Chaeng!!
The situation is much better for those with outstanding martial arts skills, including Aksomyeong.
They too are unable to fully display their martial arts skills, but they improvise and move as if flying, stepping on other objects and people to block the enemies.
However, the second-rate and lower-level warriors with relatively low martial arts skills were busy just taking care of themselves.
It was natural that the passenger ship’s power was greatly weakened, and some of them could not hold out and fell into the water, causing the people attached to the passenger ship to lose their breath or start to struggle without being touched and run out of breath.
This was probably because it was rare to find people who had learned how to swim, let alone how to do handwork.
“Margin, Margin?”
When things got to this point, there was only one thing that came to everyone’s mind.
The iron lion margin clears the captain’s line and quickly comes to the rescue.
Because of this, while struggling to prevent the invasion of the enemy forces, I kept a sidelong glance at the captain’s ship, but my morale only dropped.
I expected that Margin, who was famous as one of the top 100 masters of Sapa, would quickly take care of them as he had boasted, but surprisingly, he too was unable to avoid a fight.
