How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 7
Chapter 2. First Battle (1)
“No. Go, what are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Naturally, Im Chung was embarrassed and stuttered.
There’s a limit to being out of the blue, what are you talking about all of a sudden?
Of course, Jegal Hyunmong also knew that what he was doing was sudden.
“Didn’t you find it strange?”
What other people saw as strange was Jegal Hyeonmong.
Isn’t this just a story with no beginning or end?
This is a story that even Jegal Hyunmong would have laughed at if it weren’t for the information provided by magic.
So, I decided to be even more shameless.
As if to ask why I don’t know this obvious thing.
“The road is really bad today. It must have rained yesterday, but it’s ridiculous that the mountain road is this bad.”
“… … !”
“Besides, the ground around here is solid, so a little rain wouldn’t have caused a log that big to fall. It must have been done by human hands. Someone must have tried to slow us down or lead us to another path.”
‘It’s strange how well you speak.’
I didn’t really prepare what I was going to say, but once I started saying it, the words just came out smoothly.
And it worked.
Im Chung’s expression became serious, and he could feel that he was listening to Jegal Hyunmong’s words attentively.
“What nonsense are you talking about! I don’t know about you, a cowardly idiot, but when you’re on a mission, things like this happen quite often. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and help me out!”
Lim Jun-gyu shouted like that.
That wasn’t entirely wrong.
The original planner goes through various things.
The problem of a wheel getting stuck in a hole or a fallen tree blocking the road was something I had experienced more than once.
Although the words were a bit harsh, Im Chung-do agreed with his son’s opinion. If you react too sensitively to various things, you won’t be able to act properly.
Then, Im Chung looked into Jegal Hyeonmong’s eyes.
His eyes were too calm and cold to be speaking in fear.
Jegal Hyunmong opened his mouth.
“Two thieves.”
“… … .”
“Rumors of the two thieves have already spread. There are even specific reports that they were originally in the same group. If that’s the case, the authorities cannot help but be concerned. Naturally, the thieves cannot help but be concerned about him.”
“And now that they’re back together, they’re going to want to make one last big splash.”
“father!”
When Im Choong nodded, Im Jun-gyu shouted as if he found it hard to believe.
Im Chung waved his hand to silence his son’s objection and asked.
“Zhuge Xuanmong. What you say makes sense. But do you have any evidence that can convince the people around you?”
At this moment, Jegal Hyunmong was once again thankful that his surname was Jegal.
Jegal Hyunmong, who put both hands together and lightly covered the corners of his mouth, spoke as if he knew and guessed everything.
Just like Zhuge Liang in the old tale.
“If my guess is correct, there will be a pursuer following us from behind, watching us. Let someone nimble and stealthy check it out. If my guess is wrong, I will take responsibility for the delay.”
“Then, will you cut out my tongue?”
“You stay still!”
Lim Jun-gyu pouted at the shouting of Pyo Guk-ju.
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
“If only I could believe it.”
“what……?”
Im Jun-gyu was actually surprised by Jegal Hyeonmong’s assurance.
Of course, he had no intention of actually cutting off Zhuge Xuanmong’s tongue.
I was just whining, but I didn’t think you would accept it right away.
‘That’s good.’
Jegal Hyunmong smiled brightly.
Wasn’t it true that there was a pursuer in the first place?
On the contrary, thanks to Im Jun-gyu saying that, the atmosphere immediately shifted to Jegal Hyeon-mong.
Not only Im Chung, but other signatories also began to take his words seriously.
“Anyway, if what you say is true, what should we do?”
“Of course we have to fight against thieves.”
After about a week, the envoy who had been sent out for reconnaissance returned.
“I, it’s true! Jegal Hyunmong… … No, just as Master Jegal said, two bandits on horseback were chasing us! I overheard their conversation and they said they were going to attack at midnight today.”
The moment they heard those words, everyone’s eyes turned to one place.
At the end of his gaze was Jegal Hyunmong, still with a relaxed expression.
“Then let’s start preparing.”
“What preparations do you mean?”
“Shouldn’t we prepare to defeat the thieves?”
* * *
“What was their reaction?”
“I don’t think you’ve noticed yet. I guess you’re planning on camping while you’re tied up.”
The leader of the bandits, Kyojin, nodded.
‘You’re lucky.’

I was already thinking of leaving this place soon.
It wasn’t because the government was chasing them.
‘Maybe that crazy guy heard our rumor.’
First-class experts trust their intuition.
That feeling was telling Kyojin that if he stayed any longer, it might be dangerous.
But I had no intention of just leaving.
Even when they split into two and committed separate thefts, they made a decent profit. Then they came back together, but with their increased power, they couldn’t commit small thefts like before.
In that respect, Pyo-guk was a decent opponent.
‘I think I can feel the taste quite well.’
It’s good to kill innocent people, but it’s also fun to fight.
But in the end, it’s better to fight against someone you can beat.
Of course, the resistance from the flag bearers will not be easy, but in the end, they will win.
Because both brothers, Kyojin and Kyo-eom, were first-class masters.
“Jina.”
“Oh, brother.”
“Those guys?”
“They say they’re preparing to set up camp. They’re on basic alert, but they probably don’t even dream that we’re chasing them.”
“The bow?”
“It’s going to be difficult because it’s a forest and they’ve blocked it well with carts.”
Kyo-eom clicked his tongue.
Unlike his energetic younger brother, Kyo-eom had a cautious personality. That’s why he wanted to break the momentum of the flag with arrows if possible, so he felt sorry.
But Kyo-eom shook his head.
Even with these numbers, the raid will be successful.
“Then let’s go ahead with the plan. Jin, you strike first, and I’ll support you from behind. Be sure to take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry, brother. Don’t you have this?”
As he said that, Kyojin lifted the large axe hanging on his back and showed it to me.
Kyo-eom felt pleased to see it, but at the same time, he felt complicated.
The old man was clearly an excellent weapon, but thanks to him, his brothers ended up in debt.
‘After I finish this one, I’ll go west.’
Kyo-eom nodded and led his men on an attack before disappearing.
After a while, Kyojin looked up at the sky.
The moon was covered by clouds and it was getting close to midnight. Kyojin woke up his subordinates who were taking a short nap and slowly led them towards Daeryongpyo-guk.
‘I’ll kill you all.’
Kyojin licked his lips with his tongue.
I can already smell the scent of blood.
But after a while, Kyojin felt something strange.
‘Still?’
It seems like it’s been quite some time since we set out, but we still haven’t reached a position where we can attack Daeryongpyo-guk.
No, that’s not all.
At some point, the Daeryongpyo guys disappeared from sight.
As if exquisitely obscured by something.
It’s like being in a fog.
A thunderous shiver ran through Kyojin’s body.
“… … !”
The moment he pulled out his godfather from his back and took a defensive stance, a sword suddenly appeared and struck his godfather.
“What are you, you little punk… … !”
“I don’t know, little one.”
After saying those words, Im Chung pushed Kyo Jin away with force and disappeared into the forest.
Strangely enough, it disappeared without a trace, even though it didn’t seem like it was that far away.
“This fu*king thing. Everyone is okay… … .”
Kyojin was speechless for a moment.
Kyojin was a first-class master, so he could deal with a sudden attack, but his subordinates could not.
In that short engagement, his men were lying down in pain, having suffered cuts to their limbs, stab wounds to their stomachs, and other injuries.
“Unite!”
Kyojin shouted without thinking for long.
Because we don’t know when or where the enemy will appear and swing his sword, I thought it would be better to stick together and be prepared.
And the next moment.
Shhhhhh-!
Raindrops flew from the sky.
“There you are!”
He knocked away the flying dagger aimed at his chest and ran as if he was flying, but there was no enemy there anymore.
Meanwhile, other subordinates were hit again and groaned.
“You idiots! Avoid or block it!”
“Even if you say so… … .”
The subordinate spoke as if he felt wronged.
If it were possible to stop the rain that flew in without warning in the dark, I wouldn’t have committed theft.
“This fu*king thing!”
Kyojin gritted his teeth and swung his sword, instantly cutting down the surrounding trees that were blocking his vision.
It was half-assed sway, but at that moment, Kyojin was able to see.
A tall, clean-faced man looking at me with a cold gaze.
‘Are you laughing?’
And there was a smile on his face.
At that moment, Kyojin didn’t like that smile at all.
“You’re the one who did this!”
Without thinking twice, Kyojin ran out and swung his sword around like a storm.
Jegal Hyunmong left the meeting behind and moved his body lightly.
Then, Jegal Hyunmong disappeared again, but Gyojin did not hesitate.
He charged forward without stopping swinging his sword.
Pavababak!
As trees and branches were cut down, the surrounding space began to shake.
It felt like the foggy sense was gradually returning.
and.
Kyojin was able to see again.
The image of Jegal Hyunmong running away while waving his white robe.
“You’re there, this baby!”
“yes!”
Kyojin put strength into his legs.
Although I wasn’t particularly good at light combat, I was confident that I could catch up to something like that in one breath.
There was a little dwarf next to me, but I didn’t pay any attention to him.
‘If you catch my eye, you will definitely die!’
The moment his foot touched the ground, Jegal Hyunmong looked back and said.
“Watch your step.”
“Underfoot, huh?”
There is nothing.
Not understanding Zhuge Xuanmong’s words, Jiaojin stepped on the ground again.
At that moment, Kyojin’s world spun around.
It wasn’t just Kyojin.
The men following him also fell and were pushed, and the bandits poured down on the fallen Kyojin.
“I really fell!”
“Go, attack! Attack!”
The people of Daeryongpyo country, seeing the chaos caused by the bandits, became more courageous and began to attack them.
“I warned you. That’s too bad.”
When Lim Jun-gyu heard those words, he looked at Jegal Hyeon-mong as if he were a crazy person.
‘What’s this guy?’
