Chapter 100: Strongest Sword Assembly (2)

Thunk! Thunk, thunk!

As the heavy footsteps of the mutant echoed, most of the Strongest Swords wore expressions filled with anticipation.

“What on earth is this…?”

“So, how will the distribution work then?”

On the other hand, Yeongwoo’s worries took precedence.

‘No matter what, didn’t they start causing trouble from outside Yongsan District? Then the path we’ve taken so far…’

It was inevitable that numerous citizens had suffered, and the loss of the ‘residence,’ a resource as rare as human lives at this point, must have been significant.

Since the destroyed buildings were no longer designated for ‘temporary shelter services.’

In other words, the more land the mutants tread upon, the less space there is for people to live.

“……”

Looking around, Yeongwoo noticed that only Jo Sangik, Oh Yeonhee, and Seocho’s Strongest Sword Choe Namhee were wearing grim expressions.

At least they realized what it meant for surviving mutants to be coming this way across the city at this hour.

“First… let’s deal with the mutants.”

Jo Sangik spoke, his tone firm.

Regardless of who brought those mutants here, it must be to seek help from the meeting.

Thwack!

Soon, the person causing the problem by bringing the mutants was within the meeting’s visible range.

“Huh…?”

“Gangdong?”

And some members of Strongest Sword were taken aback.

The identity of the other party was none other than…

『Gangdong’s Strongest Sword』

It was Gangdong’s Strongest Sword, who had never attended a Strongest Sword meeting.

Then Yongsan’s Strongest Sword, Kim Doha, added a brief explanation.

“We did send someone to ask them to attend the meeting today.”

Of course, they didn’t expect a visit like this.

Perhaps they had sent the envoy before the appearance of the mutants.

‘Or maybe, after fighting with the mutants, they realized it wouldn’t work out and hurriedly sent someone.’

Whatever the case, the deed had already been done.

“Let’s discuss distribution after resolving the matter.”

Everyone nodded at Kim Doha’s words, and the mutants chasing Gangdong Strongest Sword were revealed on time.

「Krrraaaaa…!」

On the third day, the mutant that appeared in Gangdong was a giant wild boar.

The length of its tusks alone seemed to be about 2 meters, and its body length was at least 5 meters.

And the shadow extending widely from this physique was already encroaching upon Gangdong’s Strongest Sword’s feet.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

The face of Gangdong’s Strongest Sword, who had been running at full speed for dozens of minutes, was a mess drenched in sweat.

Especially, his gaze was so weak that it was hard to consider him a Strongest Sword.

It was understandable, even being defeated by mutants alone was a great disgrace as a Strongest Sword.

In addition, during the time it took to bring that monster here, Gangdong’s Strongest Sword must have caused all sorts of trouble, so his pride must have been shattered to pieces by now.

“P… Please help me!”

Finally, Gangdong Strongest Sword pleaded for help from the Strongest Swords at the meeting with a helpless voice.

At that moment, even the mutant in the form of a wild boar chasing him hesitated for a moment and stopped moving.

「What’s going on?」

From Dongdaemun to Seocho.

It was discovered that there were as many as nine Strongest Swords standing in the middle of the park.

Moreover,

「Huh?」

He even recognized one of the members of the meeting.

「Oh Yeonhee…?」

The opponent was none other than Songpa’s Strongest Sword, Oh Yeonhee.

It was someone who had been so exposed in the media that even the mutants recognized her.

Upon this, Oh Yeonhee laid down her sword and took a step forward.

“Seyeol, nice to see you again like this.”

As she smiled broadly, the heavy shadow of the mutant shook violently.

[Actor – Park Seyeol]

The third mutant in Gangdong, actor Park Seyeol.

He was a former male idol who gained popularity and successfully transitioned to a career as a drama actor, but later he plummeted after being accused of sexually assaulting a waiter at an entertainment bar.

Because the roles he used to play were righteous and upright characters, the fact that he frequented entertainment bars dealt a significant blow to his image.

Of course, although he was acquitted of sexual assault through trial later, the public’s perception of him remained unfavorable.

As the reset began, the name Park Seyeol was immediately included as a candidate for oblivion.

「…Fuck!」

Park Seyeol’s long tusks leaned threateningly at an angle.

What emotions was he feeling right now?

Shame?

Anger?

Whatever it was, his chosen solution seemed to be ‘killing all witnesses.’

Thud thud thud…!

He immediately started rushing towards the Strongest Sword meeting hall, or more precisely, towards Oh Yeonhee at high speed.

“Ah, sir.”

“Let’s fight a little closer to the front.”

It was an opponent that Gangdong’s Strongest Sword could not handle and ran away, but the Strongest Swords of the Seoul Federation relaxed enough to carry their chairs and slip away sideways.

For one thing, there was a newcomer, Jeong Yeongwoo, the Strongest Sword of Gangnam, and there were also eight Strongest Swords, including the existing strong ones like Oh Yeonhee, present.

[Translator – Night]

[Proofreader – Gun]

It was a situation where they couldn’t afford to lose in battle.

“Cough!”

Adding Gangdong, who collapsed almost vomiting, there were a total of ten Strongest Swords.

Kugugugu!

While the most courageous mutant in history was charging straight ahead, Yeongwoo finally stood up from his seat.

Swoosh.

He held ‘Underdog’ in his right hand.

「Underdog」 – Mutant One-Handed Sword

【Increases damage by 25% against targets larger than the user.】

Seeing this, the rest of the Strongest Swords rushed towards Park Seyeol.

Crack!

Slash!

They all aimed to thrust their swords into Park Seyeol at least once.

Because they needed some accomplishment to claim their share in the loot distribution that would happen soon.

「These bastards!」

Feeling like he had become just a prey, Park Seyeol was furious, but it was almost impossible to block attacks coming from eight directions with the body of a boar, his main weapon being frontal attacks.

Kwaah!

In an instant, several sword blades pierced Park Seyeol’s flesh, and soon, red blood gushed from the wounds.

Fwaaaah!

「Aaargh!」

Finally, making a beast-like sound, Park Seyeol, with several Strongest Swords clinging to his body, suddenly thought it wouldn’t work out like this, so he rolled on the ground.

Thud thud!

Although it was indeed a beastly move, it was quite effective.

“Ugh!”

“Grrrrgh!”

The Strongest Swords hanging on were all dropped at once.

After rolling on the ground for a few laps like that, Park Seyeol snorted angrily and quickly got up on all fours.

-Chwiik!

Then,

Thud!

He began to run forward vigorously by stomping the ground.

Considering it impossible to face all the Strongest Swords here, he decided to flee this time.

“Park Seyeol…!”

As Oh Yeonhee, who was the first to stand up from the left, grabbed her sword again, a distant silhouette passed by her side like an arrow.

“…?”

As she followed the silhouette with narrowed eyes, she saw the back of the newly appointed Gangnam’s Strongest Sword riding a jet-black iron horse.

“…Ah!”

“No way!”

Other Strongest Swords also realized the situation belatedly and got up from their seats, gritting their teeth in anger.

If things continued like this, it was obvious that the outsider would monopolize the mutant.

* * *

Kugugugu…!

Park Seyeol, the third mutant in Gangdong, was now heading back in the direction he came from, that is, to the east.

It was because he knew that at least there, the Strongest Swords wouldn’t be as active as they were in the park earlier.

He didn’t want to risk facing another disaster by turning his head in the wrong direction.

‘He completely wrecked everything.’

Thanks to that, Yeongwoo would witness firsthand what this mutant had done while crossing the eastern part of Seoul.

People lying flat dead on the streets, buildings crumbling down miserably…

‘Oh my god.’

Who should take responsibility for this disaster?

Was it Gangdong’s Strongest Sword for not defeating the mutants alone?

‘No. Mutants seemed unusually strong today. Just look at Kim Taejoon’s case.’

If Yeongwoo hadn’t arrived on time, it was evident that both Jo Sangik and the forces of Seoul National University would have been annihilated, not just Gwanak.

In other words, this situation wasn’t because the Strongest Swords in a specific area were weak, but rather because abnormally strong mutants had started to appear.

So perhaps…

‘Maybe those who haven’t attended the meeting yet aren’t just late…’

Could it be that they had already become casualties and couldn’t make it here?

“…”

Yeongwoo stopped his thoughts there for now and looked back at Park Seyeol, who had succeeded in overtaking the Negwig.

At that moment, Park Seyeol looked at Yeongwoo with a perplexed expression, his eyes filled with resistance.

「You… what are you?」

“Stop.”

「What?」

Yeongwoo’s next response wasn’t words but a sword that flew towards Park Seyeol.

Thwick!

It was a fairly fast attack, but as a mutant who had overwhelmed Gangdong’s Strongest Sword, Park Seyeol dodged Yeongwoo’s sword with a short jump.

And then.

Thwick!

Another sharp sound of a blade came from Yeongwoo’s direction.

In fact, it was something he had been waiting for.

Park Seyeol’s body momentarily reached a state of suspension.

「Huh…!」

Park Seyeol, sensing something, spat out an exclamation, and at the same time, the long blade of the Underdog pierced through his chest.

Squelch!

「Kkek!」

Struck by the sword in mid-air, Park Seyeol collapsed to the ground without making any evasive maneuvers.

Thunk!

Despite the asphalt being upheaved and dust flying everywhere, the silhouette of his bulky figure was clearly visible due to his large size.

Thunk!

At this, Yeongwoo approached Park Seyeol with Negwig and said softly to him, who was trembling in pain from the golden punishment of the blade.

“Those people will soon come and torture Seyeol.”

“…?”

To the unexpected demonic dialogue, Park Seyeol raised his eyelids heavily.

“But if you decide to become my prisoner, I will spare you from dying a miserable death.”

Then, Park Seyeol revealed a resentful expression with eyes resembling those of a human in the boar’s body.

「W… What nonsense are you talking about now?」

“If you want to use the return function, use it now.”

「How could you…」

Park Seyeol, understanding Yeongwoo’s intention, showed a surprised expression, then suddenly changed his gaze and twisted his large nostrils maliciously.

「Don’t bullshit me, no matter how much you… I… Kek!」

Instead of continuing his speech, he clenched his jaw tightly.

It was because Yeongwoo had pierced his throat with the “Dragon’s Legacy.”

「Dragon’s Legacy」 – Epic One-Handed Sword

【Classist.】

| Increases damage against targets of rank 2 or lower.

‘He was indeed a rank 1 human. The sword doesn’t change.’

After glancing at the completely unburned Dragon’s Legacy, Yeongwoo finally shifted his gaze to the Strongest Swords rushing from the other side.

As expected, Oh Yeonhee was at the forefront, but she soon realized that the situation had ended and wore a disappointed expression.

It was probably because she saw Park Seyeol’s body melting into the air already.

However, since everything hadn’t ended yet, other Strongest Swords arrived in haste after Oh Yeonhee.

Because…

Shirring!

A golden sphere appeared in the place where the mutant’s body had disappeared, just like usual.

「The mutant has been defeated.」

「Select a reward to complete the process.」

It was a binary-choice quest that established mutants as the main stakes for Strongest Swords.

Soon, Kim Doha, the representative of the majority of the members present here, stepped forward.

“Hehe… Thank you for your hard work. But since we fought together, you’ll divide the karma fairly, right?”

Here, he meant to smoothly yield the fixed reward, mutant equipment, as Yeongwoo was the strongest here.

Instead, he suggested dividing about 3 million karma per head.

Upon this, Yeongwoo readily accepted Kim Doha’s proposal.

“Yes. We will divide it fairly.”

[PR/N: Lmao they gon get scammed.]
