Chapter 153: Father (2)
“Why, of course....”
Yeongwoo naturally recalled the orphan achievement, but soon closed his mouth.
[Complete Orphan]
|Find and eliminate parents. (1/2)
He realized it wasn’t appropriate to speak in front of the mother and baby he had just met today.
However.
‘Finding and eliminating parents as an achievement means I have to kill them myself to complete it, right...?’
Yeongwoo believed that he had to personally perform the task of removing the parents for the achievement to be fulfilled.
Otherwise, the achievement system wouldn’t have used the phrase ‘find and eliminate.’
‘Of course, if Mother is already counted, I could be wrong.’
Yeongwoo hadn’t even decided whether this achievement should be completed.
However, if his father was destined to die, he thought it would be better to kill him himself to fulfill the achievement.
‘Is this thought too insane?’
[TL/N: No shit sherlock.]
[PR/N: ofc not kafka, it’s totally normal to want to kill your father with your own hands, for he is your hero and your villain.]
In fact, to Yeongwoo, ‘father’ was more of a hypothetical figure, so he didn’t feel guilty about the idea of killing him.
He had never met him once in his life, nor had he ever felt his presence indirectly.
At this point, the only realities that resonate with Yeongwoo are things like the mythic class weapon Bastard and the universal weapon brand Dogo.
‘But soon, the existence of a father will become a reality.’
So wouldn’t it be better to meet a living father rather than a dead one?
“I really need to hurry. I want to see Father alive and moving, if possible.”
“You’re just...”
As Yeongwoo directed Negwig toward the prison, Choi Jongseon tightly embraced the baby.
This was because she had become more determined not to make her child an orphan.
-Whizz!
Finally, Negwig began to run toward the prison in the east, following Yeongwoo’s command.
Whoosh!
The scenery of Uijeongbu city passed by quickly.
Occasionally, people appeared on the streets, but none could stop the giant running like lightning.
And Choi Jongseon could finally catch a glimpse of the orphan Strongest Sword, right before her eyes, and how he had been doing so far.
‘He must have been invincible. I don’t know when it started, but...’
A golden greatsword floating in the sky, a steel horse from another world, and the ridiculous title of the Strongest sword in Joseon.
With one person possessing all of this, who could argue with him?
For Choi Jongseon, who had faced numerous challenges in Yangju, Yeongwoo’s existence itself was surreal.
Such a life, with such a powerful human existence... And now.
‘The moment when such a person goes to find his father, I get to witness it. Truly, human affairs are unpredictable.’
Whoosh, whoosh!
Finally, Negwig, which had been running straight to the southeast, slowly changed direction.
Yeongwoo sensed that they were approaching Uijeongbu prison.
‘...Two more people have joined.’
In the meantime, Uijeongbu’s Strongest Sword Gwak Seongwon’s defense count had increased by two.
|The current area is ‘Uijeongbu.’
|The Strongest Sword of this area is ‘Gwak Seongwon04.’ Rank 2, defense 98 times.
This meant that in a short period, two more people had challenged Gwak Seongwon.
Evidence that the battles in the prison were being fiercely waged.
“Baby, hold on tight.”
“.....!”
With Yeongwoo’s warning, Negwig’s front legs sliced through the air fiercely, and for a moment, the scenery blurred and shifted backward.
“Wow! J-Just a little slower!”
While Jongseon was astonished by Negwig’s sudden acceleration, a large outdoor parking lot appeared to the left as the road narrowed.
‘It seems to be up there.’
Yeongwoo sensed that they were nearing the prison because there were sporadic corpses lying among the abandoned cars, some with clean cuts like they were sliced with a sword.
Also, the scattered corpses on the ground became more numerous as the road gradually turned into a mountain path.
Huah!
As Negwig swiftly jumped twenty meters, the shadow of Yeongwoo’s group was cast faintly over the inner wall of the prison.
And then...
“.....!”
The scene of dozens of swordsmen scattered around the prison yard engaged in battle came into view.
Click, click, click!
Moreover, the battle was almost coming to an end.
From the air, it was clear that the Uijeongbu side was being pushed into a corner.
‘All three of the Gangbuk Strongest Swords are still alive.’
As Yeongwoo found the words Nowon, Dobong, and Gangbuk inside the stadium, Dobong Strongest Sword, who was wiping the blood off his sword, noticed the strange shadow on the ground and looked up.
Swoosh.
Then...
“....?”
His eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe it.
-Whizz!
Because something unidentifiable was falling, screaming.
“What the... damn it....”
Together with the bewildered exclamation of Dobong Strongest Sword.
Boom!
Negwig, carrying Yeongwoo’s group, landed in the middle of the playground, stirring up dust.
-Whizz!
Strange cries, heavy footsteps, and waves of dust.
Everything was exactly like the scene of the appearance of a mutant, so all the swordsmen in the stadium reflexively turned their swords towards the intruder.
And then.
Swoosh...
Amidst the dust cloud that filled the air, a metallic sound rang out first.
Clank!
It was the sound of Yeongwoo’s footsteps, wearing the Unique Grade Boots. Illusion, but no one present could discern it.
After all, metallic boots were not common equipment.
-Wheeiiing...
Following that, the characteristic vibrating sound of the “Golden Trail” softly reverberated.
“What, what is it... a mutant?”
“At this hour?”
“Where on earth did it suddenly appear from?”
The three typical Strongest Swords from Nowon, Dobong, and Gangbuk checked if there was no pillar of red light rising above the dust.
However, naturally, there was no sign of a mutant, but instead...
“Hmm.”
As the dust settled a bit, something faintly glowing, resembling a name tag, was visible at a height of over 2 meters.
The letters were not yet clear, but under the circumstances, it was undoubtedly...
“It’s, it’s a real mutant.”
“Fuck! What’s going on all of a sudden?”
Everyone present, including the Gangbuk Alliance, was convinced.
Despite the absence of the pillar of light, all other characteristics pointed to a mutant.
“Ah... no matter how much we’re in the midst of war, mutants are the bigger enemy.”
“Let’s deal with the mutants first.”
At the sudden appearance of the mutant, there was a momentary moment of cooperation between Uijeongbu and the Gangbuk Alliance.
“Waaaah!”
A human baby’s cry burst out loudly from the dust.
“...?”
“What...?”
At this, everyone in the vicinity fell into a momentary panic.
Clank.
After the initial metallic sound was heard again, someone asked,
“Father...? Are you here?”
