Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 55

The Three Kings’ Disciple (56)

055

Cheon In-mok trembled, his fists clenched.

“…….”

Kang Eun-ha had suddenly come to him.

‘Shall I tell you a way to live?’

But at that whisper, Cheon In-mok was compelled to listen to her story as if he were possessed.

And when he heard all of it, Cheon In-mok was certain.

‘It’s them.’

The situation of the Iron Sword, which seemed to be going wrong somewhere, was only getting worse.

And in the meantime, he suddenly learned the truth.

‘Do Sang-mok.’

The truth that Do Cheon’s young master had dishonored his precious daughter, Yeong-ah.

The source of that mysterious information was also them.

“You guys….”

Eun-ha.

“You orchestrated this whole thing.”

A nameless guild that suddenly appeared had orchestrated this entire situation.

“You have to settle the score.”

Kang Eun-ha said.

“Now that we’ve caught the real culprit who dishonored your daughter, you must receive the price. Of course, that will….”

She was smiling.

“Guild Leader Cheon In-mok, no, it will be a way for Cheon-in to live.”

A way for Cheon-in to live.

That was right.

The timing of her visit was also perfect.

He was being threatened by the Iron Sword while having his mortal enemy right in front of him.

In the end, the only options he could choose were to accept the Iron Sword’s proposal and coexist or perish with Do Cheon, whom he could not live under the same sky with.

It would be fortunate if they could at least perish together, but the moment he rejected the Iron Sword’s proposal, the Iron Sword would surely join hands with Do Cheon, and it was clear that only Cheon-in would be annihilated.

‘A way to live.’

Kang Eun-ha had shown him a way to live.

“Can I trust you?”

Normally, he wouldn’t even listen to such nonsense.

But now it was different.

‘Eun-ha.’

Their name felt too big.

Even though they were at war with Do Cheon, it wasn’t like he was deaf or the communication was down.

The fact that Eun-ha had overwhelmingly defeated the Iron Sword and occupied the Iron Sword Building.

The fact that a guild named Eun-ha had done something that even Cheon-in couldn’t do so easily.

Moreover.

‘Namgung Mu-jin.’

He also knew that the head of the Azure Dragon Unit, Namgung Mu-jin, had visited Haenam for some reason.

Of course, he didn’t know the reason why.

“Haenam has agreed to Eun-ha’s control of Gyeonggi Province. Namgung Mu-jin was the one who negotiated that.”

Moved the head of the Azure Dragon Unit?

‘That’s something even Cheol Jong-hwi can’t do.’

But Kang Eun-ha’s face and the situation were too clear to dismiss it as a lie.

“Revenge.”

A sweet voice tickling his ears.

“Don’t you want to take it?”

He knew.

That this was the only way to get revenge.

“This is the only path left for Cheon-in anyway.”

He also knew that.

That’s why Cheon In-mok closed his eyes for a moment.

Finally.

‘I know.’

That Eun-ha’s whisper was not only beneficial to Cheon-in.

That this was also a new shackle and a fall into a deep swamp.

But he also knew that it was the only way.

“If I accept the proposal….”

A tickling that drove the wedge.

“Cheon-in will be able to maintain its lineage.”

Yes, that would be enough.

If he could get revenge and survive, there would be another chance someday.

“I accept the proposal.”

Kang Eun-ha’s proposal.

To pretend to give in to the Iron Sword’s threat and retreat.

And then, to take back the Iron Sword Building that Eun-ha was occupying and go to war with Eun-ha.

That was what Kang Eun-ha wanted.

“Good.”

Kang Eun-ha also clenched her fist tightly.

She felt like she would be caught trembling if she relaxed her strength even a little.

It wasn’t because of the burden of a huge mission or the joy of succeeding in it.

‘That person….’

She was amazed by Lee Ro-woon’s ability to orchestrate and match this whole situation.

Kang Eun-ha’s face turned red.

‘Shall I tell you a way to live?’

It was because she belatedly realized that she had been imitating that person.

***

-The Cheon-in Guild has decided to retreat.

He received a call that the Cheon-in Guild, which had accepted the Iron Sword’s proposal, was lifting the siege of Do Cheon and heading to Hanam.

Hanam was not far from Suwon.

However, the story was that they would retreat in a few days under the pretext of negotiating with Do Cheon.

That was part of what Kang Eun-ha had proposed to Cheon In-mok.

“Leave it to me.”

Lee Ro-woon answered and ended the call.

This was a trap.

A trap to wipe out the rest of the Iron Sword.

They could not be incorporated into his world anyway.

‘Iron Sword Clan.’

Their world was already under the control of Hwasan.

The reason why the Iron Sword, which lacked history and reputation, could become the master of the Iron Sword Alliance.

The reason why they could become one of the three major powers in South Korea.

It was because of Hwasan.

The price for giving everything to Hwasan.

‘They even handed over their world to Hwasan.’

Was the world integrated like the Blood King Castle?

He didn’t know.

But it was clear that the martial artists of Hwasan would be in the world of the Iron Sword Clan.

Their world could not be touched.

-Preparation is complete.

Contact from Bondeno.

In the Iron Sword Building, there were now Eun-ha’s martial artists and newly deployed martial artists.

‘Blood Wolf Unit.’

The newly converted ronin were in place.

Nearly three hundred of them.

Even if they didn’t release the restrictions, they would be able to sufficiently deal with the Iron Sword due to the blood arts that allowed them to enter a new world.

In particular, the Iron Sword Building was already turned into a dungeon by the magic circle of the mage, Bondeno.

Moreover, Kang Eun-ha and Do Mu-seong would lead them.

Lastly.

‘Cheon In-mok.’

They would be ambushed by those whom the Iron Sword trusted, so the downfall of the Iron Sword was now a foregone conclusion.

“It’s my turn.”

Now it was his turn.

The promise with Cheon-in.

‘The destruction of Do Cheon.’

It was his turn to keep that promise.

“Are you ready?”

At Lee Ro-woon’s languid voice, Jeong Chi-soo slowly turned his head and answered.

“It’s done.”

Behind them stood ninety-eight martial artists.

Twenty of them were players, including Kang Cheol-woo.

They stood there with firm expressions.

“Good.”

Lee Ro-woon looked ahead.

This place, where they had carefully moved through various routes overnight.

Right here.

“……….”

It was Goyang, where the world of Do Cheon was located.

It was no different from when he had to find Bondeno in Armo.

The act of invading and conquering a world.

Eun-ha would not have imagined it.

They, who should have conquered Asia by connecting to a new world called Earth.

The structure that had solidified due to the gap between players and martial artists.

That the structure could change.

That they too.

“We’re going in.”

Could be conquered.

He would not be taken away anymore.

“It’s time to take it back.”

The work of the Iron Sword Alliance was coming to an end.

And this was signaling a new beginning.

Lee Ro-woon took out the key he had taken from Do Sang-mok from his pocket and began to walk forward.

* * *

“Hoo.”

Do Cheon-hoo let out a small sigh.

‘How did….’

He didn’t know how things had gotten to this point.

He was a pillar of the successful Iron Sword Alliance, and Do Cheon was without shortcomings.

He thought that with the power accumulated over a long time, he no longer had to fear even Haenam.

He thought that gaining a cause against Haenam because of Do Sang-mok’s actions was an opportunity.

But everything had gone wrong.

“……….”

It was the worst move to think that he would stand at the forefront of the battle with Haenam and strike the East Sea.

The Nine Great Sects.

The main axis of the meeting was indeed a powerful force that could not be compared to the Iron Sword Alliance.

Also, weren’t there those who had made them retreat even though they were not them?

“I admit it.”

Do Cheon-hoo said, clenching his fist.

“That this is a world. That I did not know the world.”

He had lost a lot.

He had lost some of Do Cheon’s elite.

And.

He had to give up his son, Do Sang-mok.

The conditions that Cheon In-mok had set.

None of them were not fatal.

The moment he stamped his seal, everything that Do Cheon had built on Earth was as good as handed over to Cheon-in.

Even so, Do Cheon-hoo’s eyes were burning.

“Even so, I survived.”

The war with Cheon-in was truly the worst.

The worst of the worst, where he would lose everything of Do Cheon, and even all the martial artists and his own life.

Even so, there was a way to live.

“Eun-ha….”

They had given him a way to live.

Unexpectedly, they had attacked the Iron Sword’s headquarters, and the Iron Sword, which had abandoned Do Cheon, had become a useless burden.

Those who had lost their leader wanted revenge, and those who had sided with Cheon-in made Cheon-in retreat.

Although there were many conditions attached, in the end, it was Eun-ha who made Cheon-in retreat and saved Do Cheon.

“Eun-ha.”

They would also become a stepping stone for Do Cheon to rise again.

More brilliantly and gloriously than in the past.

“I will have Eun-ha.”

A twisted desire was burning.

He would have Eun-ha.

The reason they attacked the Iron Sword must have been because of Do Cheon.

To be in Do Cheon’s shadow, or to save Do Cheon.

They, who had just set foot in a new world, must have thought that it would be better to be with Do Cheon, with whom they had some connection, rather than an unfamiliar person whom they could not easily trust.

That might not be the case, but it didn’t matter.

He would have Eun-ha.

He would find out the weaknesses of those who were still ignorant of the world and put them under his command.

With that alone, he would be able to get revenge on Cheon-in and do anything.

“Did you send someone to Eun-ha?”

“Yes.”

He had sent someone first.

To let them know what they were lacking and to offer help.

“Good.”

They would accept.

When that time came, Do Cheon would rise again.

But before that, there was something he had to do first.

“For the time being, we will cease all activities outside the world. We….”

Do Cheon-hoo said, staring ahead.

“We will return to our base and reorganize.”

It was time to retreat for now.

In front of Do Cheon-hoo, there was an ordinary wooden door.

That was the door to the world connected to Do Cheon’s base.

Do Cheon-hoo, who was pulling out the key, stopped like a broken robot.

“……?”

His face slowly began to change.

“……!”

Soon, Do Cheon-hoo’s eyes widened like a goblin.

“What’s wrong? Guild Leader!”

“Open the door!”

Do Cheon-hoo shouted urgently.

“There’s an intruder!”

The strange sensation coming from the door.

It was a trace of someone who had not been authorized touching the door.

Creak-!

The door began to open.

Do Cheon-hoo jumped into the door without hesitation, holding his large sword.

The strange sensation felt when crossing a world.

His vision blurred, and his mind became dizzy.

But after that moment, he would arrive at his hometown, which was so full of life.

“…….”

Do Cheon-hoo, who had arrived at his longed-for hometown.

His eyes were burning again.

No, the image reflected in his pupils was actually burning.

Do Cheon was.

“Ugh… Ughaaaaaaaaa!”

Burning.

“Who is it-!”

A shout filled with inner strength.

“Who dares to invade the land of Do Cheon!”

The martial artists of Do Cheon, who had followed him in, quickly lined up and prepared for battle.

In front of their eyes, the flames flickered again as if they were dying out.

Shatter.

The debris shattered under his footsteps.

“You… you are…!”

Do Cheon-hoo shouted, pointing at his opponent with his large sword.

“Eun-ha’s… ?”

The guild member of Eun-ha who had been fighting alone against the Blue Sword Formation of the Blue Unit.

He was standing there with a face that was too calm, so much so that he even looked sleepy.

“You came on time.”

“Why is Eun-ha… ?”

“It’s a relief. Is it because it’s a small world? It was a bit of a headache because I couldn’t find the core.”

Swoosh.

The afterimage disappeared.

But soon, a large presence stood in front of Do Cheon-hoo, staring straight at him.

“I didn’t know you would carry it around yourself.”

He couldn’t move.

His whole body was paralyzed by the terrible killing intent.

In that state, Lee Ro-woon’s hand grabbed Do Cheon-hoo’s great sword.

“The main world integrates the world of the Blood King Castle and Do Cheon’s base.”

Unintelligible gibberish.

The world began to twist strangely again.

When he felt the sensation of crossing the door, Lee Ro-woon’s voice pierced Do Cheon-hoo like a dagger.

“You can’t be incorporated into my world. Trash.”

“Ughaaaaaaaaa!”

Only then did Do Cheon-hoo regain his sense of reality and shouted, infusing his great sword with energy.
