Chapter 92: Yongsan Park (2)
Where does fear really come from?
“What, what is that?”
“Run away!”
The elite police officers of Yongsan let out newly born screams.
While doing so, they asked themselves.
Why am I afraid?
That... is nothing more than a title.
But it couldn’t be ignored.
The fear signals that his brain desperately sprayed.
Shi-ah-aat...!
The title that appeared above Yeongwoo’s head seemed like a living creature.
Because the characters wriggled as if they were really alive.
Moreover, unlike other titles, something was overlaid on the background, which was clearly part of another dimension.
No one explained it, but anyone could intuitively feel it when they saw the title.
Definitely not from the normal world...
No, what should I call it?
“Something wicked.”
One of the police officers murmured, nodding his head, thinking of the appropriate word.
He couldn’t keep looking at the opponent’s title anymore.
Although he had already run away dozens of times in his mind, for some reason, his body didn’t move.
He had never dared to challenge the Strongest Sword, so he didn’t even know what the prestige of the Strongest Sword was.
“Ugh!”
As twenty or so police officers stood rooted to the spot wearing dragon helmets, Yeongwoo looked up at the title in his eyes with a malicious feeling.
『Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword』
Shi-ah-aah...!
Once a title that shone brightly was now shrouded in a purplish fog-like substance, and within it, a profound evil emanated.
‘What’s with changing even the form of the title?’
Whether to call it a distortion or contamination.
Anyway, the only fortunate thing was that he could recognize the characters written on the title.
“Um... first of all, please calm down, everyone.”
Yeongwoo cautiously spoke to the Yongsan police officers under the prestige of the Strongest Sword.
“Can you see the contents of the title? I am not a mutant. And certainly not here to harm any of you.”
Of course, it was a complicated situation in many ways, as he had killed the son of Gangnam’s Strongest Sword on his way up to Seoul.
He didn’t necessarily want to harm the police officers, but he came here with the intention of being willing to even take the life of Gangnam’s Strongest Sword if necessary.
Swoosh-
As Yeongwoo pointed directly at the title with his finger, the gazes of the officers finally landed on the letters ‘Gyeongbuk Strongest Sword’.
“Gye... Gyeongbuk Strongest Sword?”
“The Strongest Sword...?”
“Uh...!”
Instantly, the atmosphere changed dramatically.
From fear of the unknown to a clear dread.
As the prestige of the Strongest Sword was gradually diminishing, starting with the officer closest to Yeongwoo, one by one they began to kneel down on the ground.
Hwaet!
“We... We have committed a grave offense!”
“We didn’t know!”
“Please forgive us!”
It was an unbelievable turnaround from just moments ago when they were ready to draw their swords.
To them, the Strongest Sword was a more terrifying presence than a mutant.
‘What’s this?’
Yeongwoo couldn’t help but be bewildered.
Hwaet!
“I apologize!”
“Please forgive us!”
“...”
The most awkward one in this situation was Yeongwoo.
Because they might soon find themselves in a situation where they couldn’t kill each other.
After all, he was the culprit who had killed the son of the Gangnam’s Strongest Sword, who was the axis of the assembly.
He didn’t come here expecting a warm reception.
“Um... By any chance, is the Gangnam’s Strongest Sword present at the assembly now?”
When Yeongwoo asked, Kim Doha’s stiff expression softened slightly.
“Ah, so you know to some extent. Excuse me, but may I ask what relationship you have with Jeong Hyunsik?”
“That... well...”
It seemed that the other party didn’t quite grasp the situation.
Yeongwoo initially hesitated to speak, but then changed his mind.
Was there really a need to awkwardly hide something that everyone would soon find out anyway?
“It’s a matter of enmity. I killed his son.”
“What...?”
“The son of Gangnam’s Strongest Sword.”
He didn’t even remember the guy’s name.
Even though he knew the man’s father was the Gangnam Strongest Sword, he didn’t regret killing him.
“...”
Despite making a terrifying confession, he had an unusually nonchalant expression.
It was actually Kim Doha who wore a puzzled expression.
“No, I mean, sir...”
Kim Doha, who was trying to recall what he had heard, suddenly fell silent.
He was at a loss for words at such an unbelievable story.
But he didn’t doubt its truthfulness.
《If you encounter an outsider riding a horse, please bring them to the assembly, alive. I request it.》
The strange message spread by the Gangnam Strongest Sword was evidence of this, and given the bizarre appearance of this outsider, it wouldn’t be surprising if they were involved in whatever it was, whether it was chopping up the son of Gangnam’s Strongest Sword or not.
“So, let’s clarify... You killed Jeong Hyunsik’s eldest son, and now you have come here with the intention of killing Jeong Hyunsik as well?”
The summary seemed slightly twisted.
Upon this, Yeongwoo corrected a few things.
“I killed the son of that Jeong Hyunsik person, and now, it’s more accurate to say that Jeong Hyunsik has come here to kill me. I don’t particularly want to spill any more blood.”
“...I see. But if you don’t have any feelings for Jeong Hyunsik, couldn’t you have just left the scene after killing his son?”
Intrigued by the conversation between the two Strongest Swords, everyone in the audience was silent and focused.
And soon, an absurd line popped out of the problematic outsider Yeongwoo’s mouth.
“It’s my job, after all. I have to wrap things up somehow, don’t I?”
“...”
Thinking of it as his job, he came here to duel the Gangnam’s Strongest Sword.
It was a motive that was difficult for the cowardly Strongest Sword Kim Doha and the Yongsan police officers, who were just here to make a living, to understand easily.
Swoosh!
The current time was 2:34 PM.
Kim Doha, checking his wristwatch, let out a deep sigh.
“Hoo...”
There were about 26 minutes left until the start of the Strongest Sword assembly.
If this monster’s words were true, it wouldn’t be long before Jeong Hyunsik made his way to Yongsan with vengeance in mind.
‘Today, with new attendees coming in, it will be quite a spectacle.’
After some contemplation, Kim Doha finally made up his mind.
Whoosh!
With arms outstretched towards the outsider, he spoke.
“Once again, welcome! Today might become a very important day. I’ll inform the other Strongest Swords as well that there might be a duel for the position of Gangnam’s Strongest Sword today.”
