– Kwadangtang!

However, the moment you land, your toes slip in the mud and you roll over.

“…”

The moment he emerged from the wind and rain was cool, but the ending was clumsy.

Seolran, swallowing back tears, stood up again and spoke to the captain of the guard of the Crown Prince’s Palace.

“This is Seolran, the star maid! “Is His Royal Highness safe?”

“Bye, Byeolseon maid…! Oh, did you bring a horse from Anwoljeong to here?! “In this situation?”

“I’m naturally quite resistant to crises!”

Is that what you mean?

The guard captain opened his mouth in bewilderment at the sight of the girl speaking confidently in the rain and wind.

Even though I was stuck in Anwoljeong Pavilion, I was about to yell at him, asking what a dangerous thing this was, but I realized that now was not the time.

“His Royal Highness is currently in the wine cellar in the basement of the Crown Prince’s Palace! “It may be a shabby place, but it is the deepest and safest place!”

“All right! “I will take His Majesty the Crown Prince and inspect the inside of the Crown Prince’s Palace!”

The hand of the girl who rolled on the floor is full of scratches. However, the girl paid no heed and ran into the palace.

Inside the Prince’s Palace, the maids were gathered together and trembling in fear.

If the military officers blocking the ghost from the outside break through, these maids will then use their bodies to block the ghost.

The sight of the maids praying to the Emperor and praying for the military officers to be safe is very heartbreaking.

When Seolran, drenched in rain, entered the prince’s palace, the maids were startled and asked about Seolran’s well-being.

“Everyone stay where you are!”

Seolran just ran and headed toward the kitchen in the back.

The kitchen entrance was blocked with all kinds of junk. I climbed it, broke the shutters, and succeeded in getting inside.

Running deeper into the magnificent kitchen, past the furnace, you can see a door leading down to the basement next to a warehouse piled with firewood.

He kicked down the wooden door and went straight down, sandwiched his small body between the piled up security walls, and opened and closed the floor door leading to the liquor storehouse.

-Kwadangtang!

“aaah!”

It’s so dark and my whole body is so wet that I just slip away.

As we reached the deepest part of the liquor store, scattering dust, we saw Crown Prince Hyeonwon accompanied by two elite guards.

In the fluttering dust, I can see the appearance of my star ship maid.

Crown Prince Hyeonwon, who was stuck in a corner of a dusty liquor storehouse, suddenly opened his eyes wide at the sudden appearance of Seolran.

His arms are full of scratches, he is covered in dust, and he looks like a drowned rat.

It wouldn’t be strange if he passed out immediately from exhaustion.

However, Seolran smiled brightly and spoke as if that was something.

“I’m glad you’re safe, Your Highness!”

At this moment, when the whole world is filled with demons, even the most elite soldiers are filled with fear.

The news that Crown Prince Hyeonwon is safe is not such good news…

However, Seolran stood up firmly, blocked the entrance, and spoke firmly.

“Have you heard about the situation outside?”

When Seolran said that, Crown Prince Hyeonwon answered in his characteristic soulless voice.

“I heard that a huge ghost appeared… and destroyed the enemy palace building. “That’s it.”

“It is a huge special ghost called Ilkwi. “Maybe that monster’s purpose is… me.”

“…what?”

Princess Ahyeon of Cheondo, Geomjon Seol Taepyeong, and middle school maid Seolran.

Those monsters are the three people they want to kill. If I, one of them, were in this palace, Ilgwi might come here in person someday.

Now that Wang Han was taking my time, I had to quickly finish what I had to do and leave again.

“As the royal maid of honor for His Majesty the Crown Prince, I had to make sure that His Majesty was well protected in a safe environment. However, my presence here at this point would actually put His Royal Highness in danger.”

Seolran bowed her head and said hello.

“I will go out of Cheongdo Palace with all the nobles and spirits of the area in tow.”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Above all, why would a monster of that size move to kill just one maid?”

“I will definitely give you a detailed explanation once the situation is over. “The situation is urgent now, so have your armed forces watch the outside, and when the power of the group of ghosts weakens, ride your horse with the guards and ride towards the main palace.”

“…”

“On the side of the main palace, there is the main body centered around General Seong Sa-wook. This place, which is closely related to its etymology, is too dangerous. “You have to make a decision quickly before the outside forces break through.”

Although Seol-ran is prepared to die, there is no sadness on her face.

Rather, it feels like I am doing what I am supposed to do.

“You must survive, Your Majesty.”

After greeting her like that, Seolran quickly looked away and climbed back up the ladder to the upper kitchen.

“wait!”

“sorry! “Time is running out!”

Seolran is full of spirit as she casually disobeys the crown prince’s instructions and runs out to sacrifice herself.

*

General-level officials spread out to the palace with soldiers who can be immediately mobilized and begin to subdue the ghosts.

Buildings close to the main palace were able to quickly receive military support and ensure safety. Little by little, the system within the military began to be established, and the leadership began to function properly.

However, that is only a story around the main palace.

Cheongdo Palace is much larger than any other village. It takes too long to cut down all the ghosts inside.

The enemy palace in the west was attacked by ghosts. It feels like it has already become a hotbed of ghosts.

The main palace in the center, the concubine in the north, the official palace in the east, and the Imperial Palace in the south were somehow holding on, centered on the general-level officials who had been dispatched to each, but… the number of ghosts was endless, and the rain and wind showed no signs of stopping. , Above all, the ilgwi pyeongryang at the center is intact.

– Crack! Crack! Crack!

Wang Han gritted his teeth as he rode towards the active room with his maids.

Ilgwi Pyeongyang is deliberately not narrowing the distance. This guy is planning to make Wang Han reach Seolran’s location.

Even though he is a ghost, he is using his head. That fact is truly terrifying.

His sheer force alone is superior to that of a deputy general in his prime, and he commands these countless ghosts like an army, even judging the situation in his own way and making strategic moves… I really think there are ghosts like that in the world.

Even as I run like crazy, I have a certain intuition.

You will soon realize that you are just a stopgap measure to attract Ilgwi Pyeongyang’s attention.

If you can at least get out of the palace, the damage can be greatly reduced.

Gritting his teeth and holding onto the reins, Wang Han somehow managed to control his trembling hands.

At the very least… I had to go outside Taeseongmun in the south.

If you can’t get there, at least as far as the tomb site, which is used as a garrison for soldiers.

It may already be full of ghosts, but it will also be full of soldiers capable of combat.

It is meaningful enough just to lead the enemy to the battlefield rather than the main palace.

‘I’m afraid… Is this the fear of death…!’

Wang Han’s stomach tingles at the sight of Ilgwi chasing after him, glaring at him.

He is a bureaucrat who uses his head, not a person who uses his body. I didn’t want to do something like this, but the situation has come to this and I can’t help it.

“aaah!”

At that time, a maid following Wang Han fell from her horse.

It is an extremely tense situation.

There is no one who is not nervous in a situation where wind and rain is blowing like a typhoon and ghosts are everywhere.

Perhaps the same was true for the maid, as her whole body trembled like an aspen tree and she ended up falling under the horse.

– Kwadangtang! Clap!

If a delicate maid falls under a galloping horse, it is not surprising if she dies instantly in some cases.

Fortunately, the maid who fell from her horse was coughing and somehow managed to collect herself.

However, I cannot get up. The maid writhed in pain, wondering if a bone had broken out somewhere.

“…!”

Wang Han stopped for a moment and looked behind him.

My intuition shouts.

You have to throw it away.

In this extreme, extreme situation, falling is death. No matter how precious the manpower that Seolran, the maid of honor, gave her, if you tried to save her, you would only end up dying together.

However, it is inevitable that the body and thoughts play separately.

Even the smartest king in the world sometimes makes foolish choices.

That was the race called humans.

“Hey Sipal!”

Wang Han quickly turned his horse’s head and ran towards the maid, who was looking around with fearful eyes.

So I quickly jumped out of the rain and picked up the maid.

The maid screamed in pain due to the wound, but it was not time to worry about that.

It was a moment when I was trying to somehow climb back onto the horse amidst the raindrops hitting my body.

– Kwaaak!

The horse’s throat was cut.

No, I think it would be more accurate to say that the head was blown off.

Ilgwi Pyeongryang’s attitude is that even though the blade is sharply forged, it destroys the shape of a living thing with its physical power alone.

It’s not like being cut, it’s more like being swept away and disappearing.

When Wang Han raises his head, the figure of Ilgwi blowing his breath is right in front of him.

Looking at Il-gwi’s angry eyes, he seemed to realize that Wang Han had deceived him.

“I really… can’t live…”

It was the moment when Wang Han closed his eyes.

– Kaang!

At the moment when Ilgwi’s attitude was swung, there was someone who appeared as if he was going to jump in and raised his sword blade.

The fact that he was able to strike and bounce off that huge sword, which seemed to be several hundred muscles long, was quite an extraordinary amount of strength.

Wang Han opened his eyes wide.

The future of the Red Palace’s warrior general. He was standing in the rain right in front of him.

The brave-looking general raised a sword and threw it away.

“Ugh!”

However, that expression is not good.

I was successful in throwing the sword up once, but my arm felt like it would break from the impact.

It was this much of a shock just because he didn’t throw away the sword he was swinging, but when he even struck down the sword he picked up quietly.

“Kaaa!”

Ilkwi roared and swung his sword again.

Mirae kicked Wang Han and sent him flying far away, then lowered his stance to avoid Ilgwi’s sword.

However, the aftermath of the sword passing by was enough to cause it to be swept away and fall.

“Keuheook!”

Ilgwi grabbed his sword again to cut down Mi-rae, who had fallen to the ground.

──And then, Ilgwi’s head was cut off.

That section was frozen cold.

– Tuk!

Wang Han gaped as he looked at Ilgwi’s head falling to the ground in the rain.

A glimpse of Seol Tae-pyeong is seen inserting his sword into the place where Il-gwi’s severed head was.

Looking at him floating in the air, he was in the middle of a big leap.

In that brief moment when Mi-rae caught his attention, he climbed up Il-gwi’s back and cut off his head with a single blow.

Geomzon Seoltaepyeong.

The speed of the sword can easily be called swift.

– Woe!

– Kwaaak!

However, the headless body of Ilgwi swung its fist and struck Seoltaepyeong.

There was no way to avoid it while floating in the air.

“Wow!”

– Quang!

Seol Taepyeong was hit by Ilgwi’s fist and was sent flying, standing still and crashing into the wall of the building.

– Kwakagak!

– Coo! Perseuseok!

The remains of the collapsing building hit Seoltaepyeong.

Dust rises and rubble falls.

“This is crazy!”

Wang Han quickly regained his composure and stood up to take care of the maid.

If you stay still, you die. I don’t know what happened to the monster, but that monster moves even if its head is cut off.

Ilgwi’s head, which fell to the ground, turns into smoke and disperses.

And then… the neck rose again from the headless body.

As if he had never been cut in the first place.

It’s a real monster.

How can you kill something like that?

While swearing, Wang Han placed the maid on his back and examined the future situation.

Mirae struggled to get back up and held on to his sword. He too seemed to have realized it intuitively.

That ilgwi pyeongryang is not a monster that can be dealt with at his level.

Despite this, he does not turn his back like other enemy military officers did.

Even visibility is limited due to the increasingly heavy rain. There is a murderous look in Ilgwi’s eyes that can be seen at the end of the field of vision.

Ilgwi took control of his attitude again and lowered his posture.

One leap, one sword strike. With that alone, your future life will be in vain.

A sword that cannot be traced with the eyes cannot be easily defeated by even the greatest warrior of the enemy archery.

Mirae gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on her sword.

Don’t try to stop it. It will just turn into minced meat.

I can’t shed it. Even the slightest impact will cause your bones to crumble.

Must be avoided. However, how can one avoid a sword attack that cannot be seen with the naked eye?

Mirae was clenching her teeth as if they were about to break and concentrating all her attention on her eyes.

– Kwaaak!

-Tap!

There is one more person who cannot be chased with those eyes.

It seems as if time passes slowly.

When I came to my senses, I saw Seol Taepyeong jumping out of the rubble of the building and landing in front of Ilgwi, holding his sword sheath.

Perhaps because of the collar, which fluttered even in the rain, it took on the appearance of a butterfly landing on a blade of grass.

For a moment, it felt as if time had stopped.

Seol Taepyeong pulls out the heavy Hancheoljung sword and strikes down Ilgwi’s sword.

The shock is different from when Mi-rae was hit.

The sword, which seemed like it was going to fly at any moment, bounced upward in a big way.

– Kaang!

– Woe!

The raindrops in the area trembled just as the impact of that single cluster spread out.
