Chapter 606 : First Christmas (17)
Cheonshin responded to Baekho’s request and granted him strength.
A pure white energy wave sprang from the Ungryeobjo in Baekho’s hand.
Ungryeobjo, a dark red claw that Baekho used to hunt the Bear Clan in the age of myths.
It was a symbol of humiliation, and fear for the Bear Clan.
The bears shuddered as they saw the rugged Ungryeobjo shining.
Kwaaang!
When Baekho swung it once, the boundary broke into pieces and scattered.
Only after the remnants were swept away did the bears stop looking at it as if they were possessed.
But before they completely came to their senses, Baekho wielded his power first.
Shwaaak!
The Ungryeobjo scratched something and made it bleed dark red.
The bears stood in the wind in a sudden change of scenery.
Those who saw the water waste-colored energy waves on the ground belatedly grasped the situation.
“D-don’t tell me, the minions I put were extinguished with a single…!”
The hands of the female bear, who held the double-edged knife, trembled.
She was wielding a blade too, but Baekho was at a different level.
She thought that she could narrow the gap with Baekho by getting power from Beonmin, one of the Eight Real Bears.
However, far from catching up, it turned out that she was ignorant of Baekho’s true power.
After all, how can she know the height of the heavens when she’s looking up from the ground?
That Ungryeobjo is a weapon specialized in killing bears.
However, if someone other than Baekho wielded it, they wouldn’t have collapsed this vainly and disastrously.
Even at the moment when the bears lost their fighting spirit, Baekho was tearing up the enemy minions in front of him.
Kwaang!
Beonmin struck the floor with his weapon.
“Get a grip. Are you going to show weakness in front of the Tiger Clan?”
Despite Beonmin’s words, his men rarely regained their morale.
Beonmin clicked his tongue as he thought his men were pathetic.
He picked up his weapon and pointed it at Jeokho and Kim Shinrok.
“Jeokho is hung in a trap, and the descendant of the Tiger Clan is in our hands. Do you think Baekho will turn a blind eye to his friend and his son? Take them as hostages!”
Shwaaak!
At that, Baekho released pure white energy waves and swung the Ungryeobjo more heavily.
The power scattered as particles of light all around.
While he stared at Beonmin through the wind, Baekho’s eyes shone brightly.
“You are right. I won’t turn a blind eye to my friend and his son. You’d better hurry if you don’t want to end up like that.”
Kukuuukuu!
Baekho’s Ungryeobjo reacted to his anger and began to give off a heavy energy wave.
Even the bears had to catch their breath in front of the powerful wave of light that was so strong that the dark red color of the Ungryeobjo almost can’t be seen.
“Would it be faster to rip you with the Ungryeobjo, or would it be faster if I used my hands?”
Kwaaaa!
Baekho rushed through the strong wind and swung the Ungryeob jo.
There was only one target — Beonmin, the Bear of Anguish, who spoke ludicrous statements to his friend and his son.
“Stand down!”
“Hurry!”
Shwaaak!
Even though they knew they were no match for Baekho, the bears desperately tried to block the attack.
They knew that they had no chance at victory if Baekho had appeared.
The only way left was to use Jeokho and his son as hostages.
“I’ll move first!”
The sorcerer who trapped Jeokho tried to move the ash tree.
However, even when he gathered his energy waves, the tree wouldn’t budge.
‘What in the world… Don’t tell me it’s because of the wind!’
The wind has been blowing like crazy since Baekho appeared.
It blocked the bear’s movements and interfered with its energy waves.
But that graze gale didn’t just interfere with Baekho’s rush and sword attacks.
When the bear sorcerer somehow tried to send energy waves through the wind.
Tok.
“Enough— Ah, aaaahk!”
The hand that the sorcerer used rolled on the floor.
His vision tilted the moment he screamed in severe pain.
The sorcerer’s knee was torn by the Ungryeobjo as he screamed while rolling on the floor.
“Ahk, cough, my arm, my leg…!”
“C-come on let’s get that father and son— Ahhhhk!”
The bears couldn’t stop Baekho at all.
Whenever Baekho swung the Ungryeobjo, arms would fly away with the weapons that they held.
Legs were cut off preventing them from running away, and their throats were cut so that they couldn’t recite spells.
Beonmin looked back for a moment while advancing through the gale and noticed an eerie fact.
‘…He’s only killing the minions. All the bears are alive!’
Baekho was steadily disarming the Bears without killing them.
It was more eerie than a mere slaughter.
‘He’s trying to capture us to get information!’
The fact that Baekho is in Eungwang High at this time suggests that he, who had been wandering for a long time, joined hands with Hwangho again and was prepared for their attack.
If so, it would be hard to expect mercy from Baekho.
Hwangho will not let the bears who attacked his territory off the hook, but he will hold back until he gets information.
If they collapse here, they will be taken by the Tiger Clan deep underground where they will tater on the line of life and death.
Beonmin made another attempt of going after Jeokho and Kim Shinrok.
However, the wind that kept blowing since Baekho’s arrival kept preventing him from moving.
‘The wind is in the way. Don’t tell me this is another trick of the Tiger Clan!’
Swaaak!
Fwaa…!
An afterimage left by Beonmin was cut down by the Ungryeobjo.
He thought that the debuff would hold back Baekho for a second, but it was useless.
As if purifying an unclean thing, the wastewater-colored energy waves were washed away by the wind and turned transparent before being pulled by Baekho.
‘We’ll have to get rid of that wind’s source first if we want to take hostages.’
Beonmin gritted his teeth and vowed to blow away one of Jeokho’s limbs and kill the sorcerer who was making the wind.
In the meantime, his attempt was cut once again.
One by one, the attacks he launched were torn and broken by the Ungryeobjo.
In time, all his attacks had collapsed.
However, Beonmin had almost reached his target point.
‘Almost there…! I need to get to the child first so that Jeokho will do whatever he wants!’
His view was blocked by the wind carrying light, but the cyan space was faintly visible.
The space of Yong Jegun and the red-haired young man beyond it came into view.
“…!”
Kim Shinrok seemed to have noticed that Beonmin was approaching.
A face that looked exactly like Jeokho was looking at him with a tired face.
However, instead of running away, Kim Shinrok stood before Yong Jegun.
Seeing that, Beonmin felt relieved.
“Thank goodness. It would’ve been annoying if the Dragon King’s favorite shielded you.”
Yong Jegun was tired enough to not be able to use his spatial skills, but the body of the Cintamani wasn’t ordinary.
Being the incarnation of the Cintamani, the most cherished by the Dragon King, Yong Jegun’s body is more rigid and more durable than a decent otherworld ore.
He created numerous miracles, so his body can express powerful abilities.
Before “that person’s” order, the shamans of the Dragon King even wanted to recover the body of Cintamani.
Thinking of the shamans behind the cloudy sky, Beonmin reached for Kim Shinrok.
Kim Shinrok had no choice but to take a step back with Yong Jegun.
At that time…
The Bear of Anguish felt a chill in his spine.
Sweook!
Kwaaaa!
Baekho’s Ungryeobjo rushed toward Beonmin.
Because he noticed it in time, Beonmin quickly flew away and voided the attack.
Unfortunately, Baekho suppressed its energy waves so that it wouldn’t affect Kim Shinrok.
Kim Shinrok was still right below Beonmin’s nose.
With a triumphant face, Beeonmin reached for Kim Shinrok.
“Ha! Now the hostage is in my…!”
Bang! Bang bang bang!
Bullets poured into Beonmin’s hands.
He hurriedly retracted it, but blood was already flowing from his tattered hand.
It was no ordinary bullet seeing that it tore through his skin like this.
And Beonmin didn’t detect a sniper’s movement or a gun that can shoot energy waves.
‘A sniper? Is there someone from the Tiger Clan that can use a gun?!’
Somehow, Kim Shinrok also looked flustered.
It seems that the sniper was someone that the descendant didn’t know either.
But the attack didn’t stop there.
Jiiiik!
“…!”
Red lightning pierced the weapon of Beonmin.
He quickly released energy waves to protect himself, but his palm was already burned.
“You plan to do what with me and my son?”
Jeokho was released from the trap.
His appearance was so complete that it was hard to recognize him.
‘So Baekho’s attack wasn’t aimed at me but at…’
Baekho was aiming for the trap that held Jeokho after all.
But something was odd.
Even if he was released, there was no way that he could emit that much lightning.
It was as if Jeokho wasn’t damaged at all.
“Take you as hostages, Jeokho-ssi.”
Then, someone else replied to Jeokho.
“I wanted to pay you back the same, but they’re not worth it as hostages, are they? We should increase the subjects that Shinrok can torture.”
Wooong…
A cyan-colored energy wave shone brightly.
The jade-colored light that protected Eungwang High from the snow was also rising around here.
“How in the world…!”
Yong Jegun raised his body from being supported by Kim Shinrok and stood in front of him.
Ddak! Fwaa! Fwat! Fwaaa…
Yong Jegun flicked his fingers and dozens of spaces were created around Beonmin.
The spark in the cyan space made his skin sting.
The wind died down when Yong Jegun stood up.
‘That wind was for recovery!’
Beonmin was shocked at the belated realization.
Yong Jegun rose about a meter up into the air and looked at Beonmin.
He returned the bear’s words.
“I’m going to be shielding Shinrok now, and it’s going to be annoying for you.”
