Chapter 227: Epilogue (2)


Seol Young used his footwork to change his direction in the air. However, as he was trying to land safely, he strayed a little and brushed past this mother and daughter walking from the other side.

The candy the child was eating fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, and Seol Young’s face went pale.

“Sorry! Sorry!”

He fell flat right there and apologized.

The mother and child were both taken aback.

“Ah, no. You don’t have to.”

“Seol Young!”

Baek-Song-Wol rushed over. After helping Seol Young stand up, they gave the child sweets, said goodbye and smiled.

“It’s okay. Everyone makes mistakes in life. Usually, things are resolved if you sincerely apologize and compensate for the damage.”

“Yes, Third-rang.”

Seol Young nodded with a red face. Although there were minor accidents, they managed to reach the right place while camping happily and caught demons along the way.

The White Tiger Spirt Troops Hwarangs and trainees all went to the village in Mount Song. The atmosphere was unusual.

The roofs and walls of each house were densely fenced with thorns, and strong men with clubs glared at each other.

“We heard rumors of demonic beings harassing poor people. What is happening?”

To Baek Eon’s question, the villagers answered with concerned faces.

“At night, the henchmen of the demon come and take the women of the village one by one. More than 10 people have been taken away and are being held in the fort on top of the mountain.”

When they looked up at the top of the mountain, there was an iron fortress. All the surrounding trees were pulled, and the rocks were polished to make it look like a tower one couldn’t climb.

Even from this distance, the Yin-Yang plaque was trembling.

“...”

The faces of everyone changed.

They had thought they could simply deal with a single demon collectively, but the situation was more serious than they had anticipated.

Baek Eon calmly said,

“Everyone must be angry at it, but never lose your reasoning and move carefully. A demon of that level would require us to be at our best.”

“Hwarang trainees. First, do not advance tonight and protect the village.”

At the earnest pleas of the villagers, the troops borrowed clothes to disguise themselves and blended in with the crowd.

‘Try taking these people.’

A girl from the village cautiously asked Seol Young, who looked trustworthy.

“Trainee, my family doesn’t have drinking water. Could you accompany me to the well?”

“Yes, of course!”

Seol Young moved as an escort to the girl. And seeing how she was still shaken, he noticed her trembling hands drop the gourd into the well, and he quickly stepped ahead and said,

“Give it to me. I will do it.”

As Seol Young was fetching water, suddenly, there was a flapping sound in the air.

Here they come.

Seol Young immediately drew his sword and swung it. But the demon’s henchman was so fast that it attacked before he could blink.

Unexpectedly, the target was not the girl but Seol Young himself. It seemed to have misunderstood, seeing him fetching water.

‘Is this one out of his mind?!’

Seol Young was enraged and tried to stab it in the heart, but then, a thought came to his mind.

‘This idiot, not knowing anything, is trying to capture me. It’s actually better this way. It would be difficult to sneak into that fortress. I’d rather stay captured and work from the inside.’

Seol Young sent determined glances to the trembling girl, indicating to play along, and allowed himself to be captured. This winged demon flew in the night sky and then dropped Seol Young in the middle of the fortress, surrounded by rocks.

“Oh my! Someone else was caught!”

“Look who it is!”Find new stories on novelbin(.)com

The women who had been captured earlier rushed over, crying.

But upon realizing that this time it wasn’t a young girl or a villager, they were surprised and stepped back.

“Who is it?”

Seol Young silenced them with a gesture and pointed to his sword.

The women immediately recognized him.

The demon and his henchmen were getting their senses back. Realizing what happened, they rushed in.

Baek-Song-Wol came ahead as if waiting.

“Is it you who caught our youngest? How much suffering has the child endured at such a young age, yet you dared to kidnap him again!”

In a fit of rage, the three pulled out their swords and attacked.

-Never lose your reasoning, and move carefully.

The Great-rang must have said something like that...

Seol Young frowned, but when he saw the demon’s club flying towards Baek-Song-Wol, all thoughts vanished instantly.

“Hyungs!”

He also drew his sword spirit and rushed ahead. The demon was completely surrounded by the light of the swords pouring in from all four directions.

It was like when they first met. When Seol Young led his hyungs to the swamp.

The four of them misunderstood and confronted each other, but at some point, in front of a strong opponent, they always got together.

Just like now.

Puak!

The body of the demon was simultaneously pierced by four swords.

“As expected!”

A bright smile appeared on the face of Seol Young.

“What?”

Baek San asked, unable to believe it.

“Did you climb a cliff-faced fortress, which was heavily carved out, without a foothold?”

“Yes. We relied on ropes.”

Baek Eon said, showing the rope and how they reached such a height.

“Strange.”

Beside Baek Eon, Song Ok and Hyo Wol swung their swords at the rock.

But not even half of it broke.

The two boys muttered in confusion.

“Weird. It worked then.”

Baek San was shocked

When Seol Young vanished, they must have rushed ahead using their full force, but they couldn’t do it now.

Even if they were told to do the same now, they couldn’t.

They had demonstrated superhuman abilities to rescue their youngest.

‘They cannot be stopped.’

Seeing Baek San shook his head, the four of them asked,

“Did we do something wrong?”

“No, no. You did well. You did well.”

He glanced behind them, and there was this cart with demon on it.

This time, the White Tiger Troops cut off everything that could let the demon rise again. And his first mission, which the former ‘Ghost Demon King’ did, was done.

Baek San looked proud.

He proudly took the kids to the palace and reported about it.

“No, how can just four boys do that?”

“Did they use sorcery?”

Baek-Song-Wol-Young heard what the people were talking about. The four of them were angry and turned their heads.



“What sorcery? It was done out of love.”

“If you don’t know, stay out of it.”

As they walked out of the palace side by side, the four brothers held hands as promised. Through their tightly held hands, a warm bond was conveyed.

This feeling would never change.

The four of them looked at each other and smiled warmly.
