Chapter 258

– BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

– BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

As the Yakum group approached, I felt an earthquake-like vibration under my feet. Some even fell due to the stifling pressure.

“Hargan! Hargan! Wake up.”

“…….”

Despite Diur’s urgent call, Hargan looked blankly into the air.

“Lord Gastra…… Why… Why are we…….”

“Hahahaha. You Fools!! I never cared what you guys were trying to prove in the first place. You were all just a tool to fulfill my purpose.”

“Was it a lie when you said you’d lead the tribe to its glory, away from the clutches of the Demon Lord?”

“Tribe? Hahahaha! Why should I care about such trifling beings? The Red Scales tribe means nothing compared to my great goal.”

Gastra seemed happy looking at the frustrated appearance of Hargan.

“I…Why!?….”

Hargan completely lost his will.

When Diur realized that there was no hope for him, he turned and looked at the warriors behind him.

“Hurry up and get into formation!”

“Huh, but…….”

“The crime of leaving the village against orders isn’t an issue now. For now, we have to stop those Yakums from heading to the village. If you haven’t forgotten your oath as a warrior of Red Scales, fight with us for the safety of our village!”

“We will!”

Diur showed his prowess as a leader, leading even the warriors who followed Hargan. In an instant, many people joined and the formation became stronger, yet, the Yakum group still rushed without hesitation.

Soon, Yakums and Dragon demon warriors faced off in earnest.

– Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

– BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

BANG BANG BAM!

There were a lot of crash sounds.

Yakum’s cry and the screams of the warriors filled all around. As the chaotic mess continued, the tide began to tilt toward the Yakums.

“We need to join.”

Ryan joined the battlefield with the soldiers to help the Dragon demon warriors.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve used my strength.”

Dozens of golden lights gathered around Ryan. The gathered lights quickly rushed toward Yakums, causing a powerful explosion.

BOOM

-Booo Woo wooooo…

With the explosion caused by the group of lights, a huge Yakum stumbled. It was a blow powerful enough to halt the violent charge.

“Ryan….”

I’ve always seen him as an office worker, so I never imagined he would have this strong side.

Ryan smiled awkwardly, with a sense of shyness looking at my surprised reaction.

“Compared to monster-like members, I’m weak, but still, I was also once a member of the Black Hawk team.”

I belatedly remembered that Ryan was a member of the Black Hawk.

‘What kind of place was the Black Hawk…?’

The fierce battle continued while I was immersed in useless thoughts for a while.

Yakum’s overwhelming power severely injured the warriors but they endured.

I couldn’t stay still looking at their desperate appearance, I used every cell in my brain to come up with a solution to this chaotic situation.

And at that moment…

POW WO WOOOO

A familiar cry came to my ears amidst the loud noises. It was the little Yakum who had been following me for the past few days.

He was running at people with his eyes stained with madness, not his usual cowardly and innocent appearance.

“No Sihyeon! Wait!”

I jumped into the chaotic battlefield without thinking, leaving behind the bewildered Ryan’s voice from the back.

“SI, SIHYEON? Uh…… Listen, soldiers! Cover Lord Cardis right now!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

In the distance, Diur was seen trying to attack the little Yakum.

“Mr. Diur! Hold on! Don’t attack!”

“What?”

Running past the flustered Diur, I hugged the little Yakum as if I was covering him.

Not long ago, he was this cute little guy who followed me around, but now he didn’t recognize me at all and struggled strongly to get out of my hands.

POW WO WOOOO

KACHH

Little Yakum bit my arm hard to get out of my arms. A groan came out of the stabbing pain in my arm.

“Ugh!”

“SIHYEON!”

“Lord Cardis!”

Ryan and Diur’s startled voices came from the back.

I suppressed the groan that tried to leak out of my mouth, and shook my head, signaling to them I was fine.

– KACHHH

Rather than the pain rising in my arm, it felt more painful to look at the innocent little guy forced to do what he doesn’t want to.

“It’s alright… It’s alright. Everything will be fine.”

I patted the little Yakum gently on his fur, reassuring him. And I used my communication ability to look deep into him.

-CLING! -CLANG!

An ominous red chain surrounded the heart of the little Yakum filled with purity.

It stirred the little guy with madness, like a snake.

To turn back the little Yakum tainted with madness, I thought I needed to get rid of that red chain.

As soon as I felt the need to get rid of the red chain, another red chain emerged from both of my arms.

-CLING! -CLANG!

-CLING! -CLANG!

The red chain that corrupted the little Yakum and the red chain I summoned intertwined, and began to fight each other like living creatures.

After a fierce battle between two chains, my red chain began to subdue and absorb its opponent. In an instant, the red chain that ate up the enemy chain returned to my arm leisurely.

– Pooooo…?

As soon as the red chain was removed from the inside, the little Yakum returned to his usual innocent appearance. When he realized that he was biting my arm, he was surprised and opened his mouth.

I felt a sharp pain in my arm. Blood gushed out of the bite, making my clothes drenched in red color.

Little Yakum trembled thinking about what he had done.

I hugged him once again and comforted him gently.

” I’m fine, little guy. Don’t worry about me. It was really scary, right?”

-Pow wo wooooooooo…

Little Yakum shivered in my arms and made a grieving cry.

The joy of returning him to his original state made me forget the pain of the wound, and I continued to stroke him gently.

Smiles also bloomed on the faces of Ryan and Diur, who were watching the scene next to me.

“Ho-ho-ho? I didn’t know there was a guy who had the ability to deal with the Chaos chain.”

“……!”

“……!”

“You are…!”

The Dragon demon Gastra approached and looked at the little Yakum with interest.

“I guess it’s my lucky day today. I didn’t think while achieving my goal I would also get a fun toy to play with.”

“SIHYEON, step back!”

Ryan and Diur came forward and faced Gastra.

“Gastra. Red Scales is the hometown where you were born and raised. How could you do this?”

“Are you the son of Bardan?”

“Release the Yakums and leave this place right now! We have not yet forgotten the sins you have committed.”

“Your tactless and confident behavior is exactly like your stupid father…… Get out of my way! I’ll give you a chance to live in consideration of my past relationship with your stupid father.”

Instead of answering, Diur quickly swung the weapon in his hand. Ryan, who was next to him, also summoned a group of lights and attacked them.

BANG

BAM!

Unfortunately, the two men’s surprise attack did not do any damage to Gastra.

“These worms…….”

The frowned Gastra shook his hand roughly. Huge red energy followed the path his hand moved and swept the surrounding in an instant.

“Ugh?!”

“Uhhhh!”

Ryan and Diur were swept away by the red energy and bounced off. The Dragon demon tribe warriors and the soldiers from the Castle, who were nearby, could not overcome the energy and collapsed on the spot.

Only me and little Yakum could get away without being affected by the red energy.

Gastra approached, looking contentedly at us.

– POW WOOO

“It’s all right, it’s all right.”

The little Yakum trembled with fear at Gastra’s dreadful appearance.

I muttered to him that it was all right, but my eyes looking at Gastra shook greatly with fear.

“Lord Cardis or…. Is it Sihyeon? I think I’ve heard of it somewhere.… Well, let’s talk about the details later. For now, how about relaxing in the world beyond that crack?”

The moment Gastra tried to reach out to me.

BANG!

A red flash passed before my eyes and struck Gastra.

“Don’t touch him fu*ker!”

Red-scaled tail and sharp nails.

The back of a familiar Dragon demon stood in front of me. Hearing the harsh tone, I soon identified who it was.

“Sis!”

She turned her head, checked my safety, and stared forward again with cold eyes.

Gastra, as if slightly shocked, shook his arms and smiled brightly with his mouth widening from one ear to another.

“Oh, is my cute daughter angry because her father didn’t come to visit her often?”

“Don’t say Father! My mother and brother are my only family.”

“Hahahaha, it’s no use trying to deny it, my dear daughter. You and I are connected by Destiny. Destiny is the one that controls every world. It’s like this cursed chain that hangs around your neck, drags you around, and leads you in the path you should take, even if it is something you don’t want to do. Our paths are connected by that Destiny, my dear daughter. No one is destined enough to break our inseparable chain. “

“Stop talking nonsense! I’m going to fu*king cut it off with my own hands today. Even if I had to kill you for that…….”

Sis emitted a rough energy that I had never seen before. It was even more terrifying than the one that was oozing out from Gastra.

“Yes, that’s it, my daughter! Fill your heart with that fury and burn it with anger. The more you use that power, the more complete you will be.”

“Shut the fu*k up!”

Sis rushed to Gastra, creating a red afterimage. Soon, the two got entangled like a lump and bounced off to a faraway place.

I relaxed a little at the thought of escaping the threat while looking anxiously into the distance.

After barely escaping one threat, it was followed by another threat.

– BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The rampaging Yakums rushed toward me. There was no one around me to help me this time.

“What should I do… What should I do… What should I do…”

As I was rummaging through my head for some kind of plan to escape this crisis, the little Yakum in my arms jumped and stood in front of me.

– Pooo Woo Wooo! – Pooo Woo Wooo! – Pooo Woo Wooo! – Pooo Woo Wooo! – Pooo Woo Wooo!

He desperately tried to stop the Yakums with his cry, but the Yakums, who were engulfed in madness, did not care about that cry.

Rather, they rushed with the momentum to trample even the little Yakum.

“It’s dangerous!”

I threw myself around the little Yakum. I crouched down and closed my eyes in preparation for the upcoming shock.

-THUD!

-…….

“……Hmm?”

When I didn’t feel anything for a while, I quietly opened my eyes and looked forward.

-CLING! -CLANG!

“Why on earth are these guys making a fuss in the middle of the night? Here goes my plan to sneak a drink in the hot spring…….”

“Real piece of work nyaa!”
