Chapter 102
Episode 102: I’m So Scared (2)
Yu Jin-san has never seen such a scary-looking woman in his entire life. If it’s a person.
Red eyes without pupils were glaring at this place.
It was clearly a human shape. One peculiar thing was that he had a strange tree branch wrapped around his waist like a whip.
Behind his back, Yoo Seol grabbed his collar and groaned.
“Grandpa…”
“There is no need to be scared. “There is no such thing as a ghost in this world.”
Jinsan Yu took the lead and approached her step by step.
At that moment, the tip of the dragon’s spear that was being grasped let out a strange wailing sound.
Hmm-!
What on earth is going on?
A Shinbyeonggi, which only reacts to spiritual objects or divine beasts, is making a sound?
As the distance got closer, an unknown anxiety rose in Jin-san Yu’s heart. This is because no energy was detected from her squatting on the tree branch.
All Yujinsan could feel was the bitter cold.
“Who are you!? Why are you staring at us!?”
“….”
At that moment, the neck of the woman wearing the tattered uniform turned to the side.
The sight of him smiling and frowning with his neck bent horizontally was even more creepy.
After a while, the distance got closer to about a dozen.
She, who was glaring at them, suddenly flew into the fog.
Taaa-!
The movement was so fast that I couldn’t even guess its location.
Behind his back, Yu Seol’s index finger pointed somewhere in the fog.
“It was over there and then disappeared.”
Yu Jin-san looked around and saw that no one was there and sighed.
“Did you see it? “You ran away when you saw your grandfather.”
“Grandpa, I’m scared….”
When Jin-san Yu played with his granddaughter, he would sometimes tell her scary stories.
In response to the child’s reaction, who was surprised but eager to hear it, he made fun of it by adding exaggeration to the legend.
I regretted those things, but I couldn’t turn them back now.
“Don’t worry. “We can get out as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
With that one word, Yoo Seol’s expression became even darker. Because it also meant that we had to stay here until tomorrow morning.
“What if a ghost catches me?”
“How can we catch Seol when Grandpa is here?”
“Hey.”
After hugging his granddaughter once, he moved to a suitable place.
“Grandpa will be watching, so you can take a nap. “When you wake up, you can leave.”
“…huh.”
Yu Seol closed her eyes tightly and buried her face in her grandfather’s chest.
Eugene San patted the child’s head and looked around.
Contrary to what I said, I couldn’t let my guard down even for a moment.
‘Did you say she was a white-bone witch?’
The old man who warned them not to enter this place also seemed to be an expert.
What on earth made even a martial arts expert in hiding tremble with fear?
Although I was full of doubts, I could not cower in front of an unknown being.
‘Just try coming closer again. ‘I’ll put an end to it.’
A master who has achieved Hwagyeongjiche can control his sleep at any time.
The granddaughter in my arms seemed to be fast asleep.
As the night deepened and dawn came, the fog became thicker.
Yu Jin-san sat quietly and looked around, remaining alert.
When the gloominess reached its peak.
“…?”
Yu Jin-san’s eyes opened brightly.
Red eyes flickering in front of the tree about twenty pages in front. It was clearly a white bone witch.
Yoo Seol opens her eyes just in time due to an inexplicable feeling of despair, but she cannot tell her trembling granddaughter to fight.
“Wait here for a moment. “Grandpa will kick you out.”
“Be careful…”
Yu Jin-san stood up and grabbed the dragon spear and ran towards her.
As the distance got closer, the White Bone Witch’s face became more distorted and she glared at her as if she were going to kill her.
“I can’t really get out of there!”
Despite the warning, she did not back down.
No, rather, they were approaching towards Mt. Yujin. It was clearly a gesture of fighting.
Someone I can’t communicate with anyway.
Even for the sake of safety, we could not give up going first.
‘Don’t blame me.’
The tip of the dragon spear, filled with red energy, shot towards the white bone witch’s chest.
Shoot~!!
It was an attack made with the intention of killing him in one blow.
But the opponent was much stronger than he expected.
For a split second, Jin-san Yu saw the White Bone Witch’s left hand engulfed in a milky-white halo of light.
And the fact that it struck the blade of his spear.
Kaaaaang-!!
As soon as he faced Ilhap, Jinsan Yu instinctively lowered his head.
I felt something cold passing over my head.
Paang-!
For a moment, I was relieved that I had avoided it. He quickly pulled out his spear and raised it diagonally.
The speed is so incredible that it is difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
His heart pounding, he urgently injected energy into the handle of the spear he was clutching. Otherwise, you won’t be able to defend against subsequent attacks.
There seemed to be a flash of cool light, and a blade-like claw was striking the shaft of a spear in front of my nose.
Kwaaang-!!
I pursed my lips and let out a moan automatically.
“Ugh!”
Eugene-san’s feet dragged along the ground and continued to slide backwards.
He was only able to stop after being dragged for a long time.
‘This is a disaster.’
It was absolutely not a level I could handle.
The other person continued to attack without caring about his feelings.
Strange nails that look like they have blades embedded in them. And then the gloomy energy that lingered there descended mercilessly from above.
Yu Jin-san, balancing on his left foot, gritted his teeth and raised his dragon spear.
Tsk-!
“Tsk!”
Breaking pain felt in both arms.
Not only that, but his feet were dug into the ground by about an inch.
Yu Jin-san felt devastated in the face of this enormous power.
Before he could regain his bearings, a milky-white glow approached him in a curved line.
Quang-!!
I managed to stop it, but the situation wasn’t that good. This is because the dragon slayer was lost due to its immense power.
At the same time, a perfect loophole is clearly visible through the front chest.
I wasn’t the type of person to miss it.
Eugene San had no way to block the approaching grasp.
It was the crisis of a lifetime, but I didn’t feel like I was going to die. Because I felt something approaching like a thunderbolt from somewhere.
A fist-shaped wind blowing through the wind and approaching at the speed of light.
It was the Shaolin Temple’s Ascending Martial Arts, Baekbo Shinquan (百步神拳).
Shoot~!!
In the blink of an eye, a wind blow struck the White Bone Witch’s side.
Wow-!!
As she was about to attack Yujinsan, she slipped and stumbled as if she would fall.
“Grandpa!!”
The granddaughter, holding Yonghwachang diagonally, was running like crazy.
Are you embarrassed by the unusual momentum? The White Bone Witch glared at Yu Seol for a moment and then slid backwards.
It was very strange to see him hiding in the fog like a footless ghost.
“You haven’t escaped yet, so don’t let your guard down!”
Jinsan Yu instinctively sensed that the other person remained here.
Yu Seol also seemed to know that.
“….”
Although Yoo Seol was afraid of ghosts, he picked up a spear to protect his grandfather.
A nervous look was evident on Jo-Son’s face as he slowly looked around.
After a while.
Suddenly, Yu Jin-san’s expression darkened drastically.
‘When did the fog get so thick?’
Visibility is rapidly shortening.
It was clearly not an ordinary fog.
It was a fog so bizarre that even my own eye light, a transcendent expert, could not see through it.
What kind of trick did they pull?
“This is a big deal. “I can’t see in front of me….”
“I can see clearly, so I’m hiding behind.”
Fortunately, the rumor seemed to be visible.
Is it because my vision has darkened? The tension in Eugene Mountain gradually reached its peak.
As he looked around, he could see red eyes passing through the hazy fog.
At that moment, a loud noise erupted from behind.
Quang-!!
I knew it without even having to check. Yu Seol and the White Bone Witch competed in unison.
And that was the beginning.
Lightning flashed one after another in the fog, like clouds filled with thunder.
Kwaang-! bang-! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!!
The fight between the two must have begun in earnest.
There was nothing Yujinsan could do to help. Except that I am rooting for my granddaughter in my heart.
A strong wind blew in all directions, and the sound of trees splitting did not stop.
The fight became increasingly fierce, and soon someone was screaming.
“Kyaaaak!!”
A bizarre scream, like the cry of a crow.
What was certain was that it was not the granddaughter’s voice.
Eugene San raised one hand and cheered.
“Good job!”
But his joy did not last long.
This is because in a split second, something wrapped around his waist.
“…?”
Whirring!
He felt his body floating. And that I am being dragged somewhere mercilessly.
I couldn’t tell what was wrapped around my abdomen, but it was so powerful that I couldn’t shake it off.
As time passed, I became more and more out of breath.
“…Keuuuuu.”
No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn’t escape.
As he was taken away by the White Bone Witch, his eyes grew red as he worried about his granddaughter who would be left alone.
‘Baby…’
* * *
“Grandpa!!!”
Yu Seol’s shout shook the ghost forest.
No matter how much I shouted, all I got in return was silence.
The joy of defeating the White Bone Witch was short-lived. Who could have imagined that a wounded woman would kidnap her grandfather and run away?
The child despaired when he realized that he was alone.
And it soon turned into fear.
Tears poured out constantly.
“Huh….”
When was the last time you were left alone like this?
Yoo Seol, who was standing still and crying, wiped away her tears and looked around.
Although there was a thick fog, it could not block the view of Hwa-gyeong.
The first thing I found was the dragon spear that my grandfather had missed.
“Grandpa….”
Yoo Seol, holding two spears, continued to look around.
How can I find my grandfather in a forest where I don’t even know the direction?
I was about to burst into tears again in this helpless situation.
At that time, the advice my grandfather usually gave me lingered in my mind.
『You can find a way to solve any problem if you just come to your senses.』
‘You have to find a way.’
After calming down, Yuseol jumped up a nearby tree.
Next, as he raised the Confucian mind law to its peak, a dazzling light poured out from his eyes.
Hwa-kyung’s superhuman vision is hundreds of times that of an ordinary person.
And that keen eye soon discovered something colorful.
“marble?”
A heterogeneous purple glow that is different from the surrounding colors.
Yu Seol quickly approached and gave it to him, then rolled up his arms.
‘Our friendship bracelet?’
It was identical to the one hanging on his wrist.
It was a jade bead bracelet that Donggu’s uncle, the head of the family, had given him as a gift when they parted ways.
Yoo Seol’s expression brightened slightly and she looked around.
As expected, another bead was found not far away.
“Grandpa!”
Yu Seol continued to move forward, following the traces left behind by the beads.
But how much is there to see when there are beads hanging on a bracelet?
The bead that showed the direction of Mount Yujin soon changed into another trace.
It was a seashell with artificial colors.
“…?”
The first gift I ever bought for my grandfather.
He even cut off his seashell necklace.
I thought that all of this was because of a white-bone witch who didn’t know if she was a ghost or a person.
Suddenly, both hands holding the spear began to tremble.
“Ssi…”
The feeling of fear no longer existed in Yu Seol’s mind.
Unbearable anger.
A anger so strong that it felt like my blood was boiling welled up from deep within my heart.
Yu Seol, furious to the core, chewed her lips.
“…How dare you take my grandpa? “You are dead now.”
Yoo Seol, clutching the twin dragon spears, looked around for traces and continued moving forward.
After going a certain distance, it was not difficult to find the direction, as the two new recruits responded.
