Episode 116. The Last Struggle (1)
After Park Ji-soo’s attack on Ilbeon-ga failed, the commander of the area devised a defensive strategy and deployed a large number of troops to Beomgye Station.
But at the crucial moment, the monarch of the time, Park Ji-soo, did not show up.
“Your Majesty… …! Where on earth are you!”
“No matter how much I look for it, I can’t find it… … . Ah… … . It’s all wrong… … !”
“What should we do… …? Without the monarch’s edict, it will be difficult to gather our scattered troops… …!”
The supreme commander during that time listened to his subordinates and thought.
Absence of the monarch.
The blow was quite big.
Park Ji-soo has been involved in everything up until now.
In a word, the military during Park Ji-soo’s absence.
It was just a child’s game they played among themselves.
The meantime has now completely fallen apart.
It was Park Ji-su who managed to win back the hearts of the warriors who had been wavering through the past few wars.
There is no longer a Park Ji-soo like that… … .
That means one thing.
The supreme commander during that time clenched his fist.
And with a very excited expression on his face, he muttered.
“Run away… … go.”
Because it’s over for now.
* * *
While the government was collapsing, the city center was a lawless zone.
The warriors now became bandits, stealing supplies wherever they could find them or running away.
Meanwhile, a woman was walking along the asphalt.
The path she had walked was littered with bloody footprints.
The woman wearing the torn coat was the monarch of youth, Park Ji-soo.
The surroundings were rippling.
Even the solid asphalt bubbled like boiling water.
And then it started devouring all the warriors around it.
“From the beginning… … . the method was wrong.”
Park Ji-soo thought and thought again.
A dream that you originally wanted to achieve.
And finally, about the man she met.
“Just with that man… … I’ll be… … done! With that man… … alone… … in a place where there’s no one else… … . Yes. Just like a deserted island… … ! We’ll create a world just for the two of us. If that happens… … ? How will that happen… … ?”
Park Ji-soo’s artifact devoured not only the people around her, but also other buildings.
The path she walked along turned into a barren land, as if there had never been any civilization there before.
“… … I will be happy. Finally.”
Park Ji-soo walked.
Towards a deserted island in the city.
Towards a space where you can create your own paradise.
* * *
The Ogre’s advance speed was incomparable to that of the bus tanks of the time.
In fact, it was closer to a raid than an advance.
Kang Shi-on’s punitive force, which had rushed into Beomgye Station, easily destroyed the enemy’s defensive positions.
In addition, he hastily advanced towards Hogye-Pyeongchon and occupied most of it. As a result, Dongan lost all the territories he had practically controlled to Man-gyeong.
Despite being outnumbered, Man-gyeong used his powerful firepower to destroy Dong-an’s castles one after another.
It was all thanks to Kang Shion’s strategy and the Ogre’s powerful destructive power.
Some of the defeated warriors were scattered, but most were captured by the Man-gyeong soldiers.
The procession of prisoners of war being dragged to Man-gyeong filled the eight-lane road.
Nevertheless, Park Ji-su and his escort, determined to fight to the end, retreated to the edge of Anyang City, their final defensive position.
Anyang Prison.
Surrounded by a 3-meter high barbed wire fence, this place was a natural fortress with a view beyond compare.
It was an area that Park Ji-su had a hard time with until the end when he conquered Ho-gye, and after he occupied it, it became Dong-an’s last defensive base.
And Kang Si-on, who heard the news that Park Ji-soo was in Anyang Prison, hurried his advance.
As the sun rose into the middle of the sky, giant ogres from within the city walked towards their master’s command.
Thump, thump, thump… … !
The ogres’ footsteps created a vibration so great that it could be felt from afar.
* * *
The exercise yard inside the prison.
The commander of the warriors shouted to the remaining troops.
“In order to become a dog of those damn policemen, I’d rather kill one more person! Remember! You’re all here! It’s thanks to the monarch! It’s revenge! It’s killing!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”
“Eww!”
The surviving warriors shouted.
It was a show of unity that might be their last.
One, it’s useless.

Even the three-meter-high prison fence, which seemed high enough to a human, was nothing more than a low wall to an ogre.
At that moment, the iron fence shattered into pieces with a loud noise.
Kwaaaaang-! Thud thud thud.
An ogre broke through the fence with incredible ease.
And then he suddenly grabbed one of the warriors and started to rip him apart.
A woman held captive by an ogre screamed in fear.
“Eww! Aaaahhhhhhh… … !”
After a while, the human body was easily torn into two pieces.
Hot… … . Thump thump!
The ogre, who had split the woman’s body in two, howled at the warriors.
-Kuaaaaaaaaaaah!
As the ogre shouted, spit and blood spurted out of its mouth in all directions.
The sight was truly terrifying.
Additionally, the stench of blood and blood filled the prison.
The warriors gathered in the exercise yard looked up at him with the aforementioned expressions.
And during that time the commander gave his final orders to his warriors.
“… …All charge!”
“Kill him!”
“Eww!!!”
The warriors rushed forward.
At that moment, Man-Gyeong’s soldiers, led by Ogre, also began to rush into the prison.
The armies of both camps raised a cheer.
The sound filled the prison sky.
Soon the two groups met in the center and engaged in a slaughter.
“… … .”
In the middle of it all, Jin Jae-hee calmly walked towards the warriors who were rushing in.
Her black hair fluttered in the wind.
A calm gait.
It was a stark contrast to the tense situation at the front.
“Die-! Die!!!”
At that moment, a warrior discovered Jin Jae-hee and ran towards him.
She held out her hand, looking at the warriors rushing toward her.
Soon, with a flash of silver light, the holy sword appeared in the air, and she fired the sword at the warrior in front of her.
Phew-!
“Ugh… … !”
The holy sword pierced straight through the warrior’s body.
The warrior fell forward, spitting out blood, and the holy sword returned to Jaehee.
The holy sword moved on its own.
This time, three swords rose around Jin Jae-hee.
Again the swords were fired forward.
Pok, pok, pok, pok, pok, pok, pok-!
“Kahak… … !”
“Keuk… … !”
“Eww… … !”
The holy sword pierced through warriors one after another, but did not stop there. It flew around the battlefield, weaving its way through the air.
As if a skewer were piercing multiple pieces of meat, her holy sword continued to pierce the warriors’ bodies without stopping.
A warrior holding an iron pipe rushed at Jin Jae-hee.
“This is a fu*king dog!”
The warrior swung the iron pipe at Jin Jae-hee with all his might.
Boohoo-!
But the warrior’s iron pipe cut through the air.
Jaehee ducked his head to avoid the warrior’s attack and immediately kicked the warrior in the stomach.
“Keuk… … !”
The first warrior lost his balance and staggered.
Jin Jae-hee pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed the thigh of the second warrior who was running towards him.
Phew-!
“Ugh… … !”
The movement was so fast that the second warrior couldn’t even react.
Her black hair blew wildly with her dynamic movements.
Jin Jae-hee didn’t stop.
He grabbed the second man who was about to fall and stopped the arrow flying from the front.
Pok, pok, pok!
Arrows continued to strike the warrior’s back.
At that moment, the first man who had fallen forward ran towards Jin Jae-hee again, and she pushed the second man towards him, causing them to fall as well.
“evil!”
And then a holy sword flew in from somewhere and pierced the bodies of two warriors at the same time.
Phew!
Even though he had brutally killed a person, Jin Jae-hee moved his eyes forward again without any change in his expression.
She then rushed at the third, fourth, and fifth warriors.
Like a wild beast fearlessly rushing toward a gathering of herbivores, she swung her sword mercilessly.
He slit her throat again, twisted her joints, and tripped her legs.
Then he smashed his face with the heel of his shoe, stabbed him in the side, drove a straight punch into his stomach, and then turned around and kicked the warrior in the chin as he was aiming from behind.
Phew-!
The warrior’s lower jaw, struck by her hind legs, was separated from his upper jaw and tattered.
“Hoo… … !”
Jin Jae-hee let out a deep breath that he had been holding in until then, took a deep breath again, and ran forward.
It was a truly brutal scene for the enemies, but it was a truly astonishing scene for Man-gyeong’s soldiers.
She was swallowing everything up all by herself, like a hurricane.
Warriors who were struck by Jin Jae-hee’s sword or fist were blown away like sheets of paper and fell to the ground, their entire bodies cut to pieces and they died.
Even though the fight continued several times, Jin Jae-hee ran forward again without showing any sign of fatigue.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
At that moment, the ogre rushed at her.
-Kuaaaaaaaah!
The ogre was moving towards the main building to devour more warriors.
Jin Jae-hee didn’t miss the opportunity and climbed onto the ogre’s calf.
Then the scattered holy swords returned to her, and the ogre ran straight to the main prison building.
-Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
If you capture the king, the battle will end.
Jin Jae-hee, who was standing on the ogre’s shoulders, fell onto the roof of the main prison building at the right time.
Bam.
Jin Jae-hee, who lightly landed on the rooftop, slowly looked around.
On the roof of the prison, dozens of warriors who had been shooting arrows there looked startled and raised their heads stiffly.
The warriors hesitated at the sight of the woman suddenly barging into the rooftop.
“Huh… …?”
“What, what?!”
“Hey, hey. Hey!”
Jaehee wiped the blood on his cheek with the back of his hand and ran forward again.
* * *
Deep inside the prison.
This place used to be a place where executions were carried out.
Since 1997, when South Korea effectively stopped carrying out executions, the place was left abandoned for a long time.
But there were still leashes and a chair for the condemned.
Park Ji-soo sat on the chair and drank soju from the bottle.
Honey rice cake, honey rice cake-.
There were already numerous bottles of soju scattered around her.
Park Ji-soo barely managed to calm her staggering head and got up from her chair.
Park Ji-soo let go of the bottle of soju she was holding weakly.
Tank-. Tank-gurur… … .
The soju bottle rolled weakly and hit another soju bottle.
Park Ji-soo staggered forward again and leaned against the iron bars.
A great number of shouts could be heard outside the prison.
I think I can hear the sounds of monsters, and I also think I can hear my parents’ voices calling me when I was little.
Park Ji-soo spoke weakly, her face pressed against the iron bars.
“Open the door… … .”
At the king’s words, a man with one arm walked up silently and opened the iron bars with a key.
Squeak-.
A loud hinge-closing sound echoed throughout the prison, and the monarch slowly walked over and crouched down on the table.
This used to be a hallway leading to the execution chamber, but now there was a long table there.
Park Ji-soo, who had fallen on the table, barely managed to get up and sit down on the chair again.
“Phew… … . Phew… … .”
He was breathing heavily, probably because he was very drunk.
Park Ji-su’s escort frowned as he looked at the weakened monarch.
The escort was a woman who had been by Park Ji-soo’s side since the second round.
Although he had one of his arms cut off by Jin Jae-hee some time ago, he was still active as Park Ji-soo’s closest associate.
Park Ji-soo was lying face down on the table, shivering.
Even though winter was over, the wind was still chilly.
The escort ordered a nearby warrior to bring a blanket, then received the blanket from his subordinate and carefully covered Park Ji-su with it.
Park Ji-soo seemed to be shaking a little more, but soon became quiet.
Inside a dark prison.
Only the candles on the Queen’s table softly illuminated the surroundings.
“Over there… … . I.”
At that moment, two warriors who were next to the escort spoke to him.
The escort looked at the two warriors.
“Shouldn’t I… run away? Now… it really seems like it’s over.”
“That’s right… …. Your Majesty. Even your majesty who was so proud couldn’t do anything in the end. It’s over now. Dong-an-gu.”
“… … .”
The escort lowered his head at the two warriors’ pitiful voices.
Then he asked instead.
“……where?”
“yes?”
“Where are you going? Where are you going to run away to? Uiwang? Gwacheon? Seoul? Suwon? Where? Where are you going to? Japan? China? America? Tell me.”
“that…….”
“There’s nowhere to run. The only choices are death or dying in a fit of rage.”
“… … .”
“Did you really think you could survive when the league started? That’s ridiculous.”
“… … .”
“We’re all going to die anyway. Except for a very small minority. But we’re not one of those few. This girl, you, me.”
The escort took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.
He held up the candle, lit a cigarette, and took a deep inhale.
“This woman saved us. Think of all of you, struggling in the snow, begging for your lives. And this woman gave us the chance to live freely. True freedom.”
At his voice, the other two warriors fell silent.
There was silence between the three of them for a while.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that all members of the force during that time were saved by Park Ji-soo.
Park Ji-soo’s greatest ability was understanding the emotions of people who were driven to the edge of a cliff and making them his own.
Park Ji-soo was able to comfort them because she knew well what it felt like to be on the edge of a cliff in life.
And those who were saved by Park Ji-soo decided to stay here until the end and carry out their duties together with the monarch.
The same was true for all the hundreds of fighters in the prison.
The escort concluded with a determined voice.
“Don’t try to live. We just have to die for the monarch.”
And that was when it happened.
The screams of warriors echoed from a nearby hallway.
The screams grew closer and closer, and the escort grabbed the kitchen knife that was on the table.
Thud-!
His face was distorted in a haphazard manner.
My heart rate increased and my breathing became more rapid.
The escort put the cigarette he had been smoking into his mouth and chewed it.
It didn’t matter how hot the cigarette was.
“Yeah… … . We’re all going to die. All. But I won’t just die. I have to let that guy who’s killing me know. What kind of person I am. I won’t die easily. I can’t die easily. I have to leave something behind. I have to remain in at least one person’s memory. Okay?”
At that moment, the iron door leading into the hallway opened.
Creak… … .
There was a man there with his back turned, and soon he fell backwards, spurting blood.
Crunch!
The person who stabbed the man and came here alone was none other than Jin Jae-hee.
“… … .”
Jin Jae-hee took a deep breath and looked at Park Ji-soo and the three warriors.
She had cut down dozens of warriors without exception and arrived at the monarch’s chambers.
At that moment, the corners of the escort’s lips twitched as he looked at Jin Jae-hee.
“It seems like God has given me one last gift… … . Revenge… … Revenge.”
In the past, one of the escorts had his arm cut off by Jin Jae-hee.
Backed into a corner and facing his enemy, the escort was grateful to God for giving him this opportunity.
Jin Jae-hee trudged into the hallway without showing any sign of fatigue.
Jin Jae-hee’s eyes were focused solely on Park Ji-soo, who was sleeping face down on the desk.
“Let us protect our monarch!”
“Eww!”
The two warriors rushed at Jin Jae-hee.
The escort, who was looking at Jin Jae-hee, bit her lower lip until it bled.
He has defeated countless players so far.
His ability is to instantly enhance his physical abilities.
Although its duration was short, its destructive power and speed were comparable to those of the Goblin Mask and Monarch Park Ji-soo.
The determined escort ran forward, holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
Taat-!
The escort approached Jin Jae-hee at a speed that was unthinkable for a human.
Jin Jae-hee was busy dealing with two warriors at the moment.
You will definitely not have time to take care of yourself.
The escort focused all his energy on speed and his left hand.
Now his blade was so powerful that it could cut through even thick trees with just a touch.
‘No matter how strong that bitch is… … ! One hit will do! One hit… … ! If I get hit with just one hit… … ! First, I’ll chew off that pretty face… … !’
The escort swung the kitchen knife he was holding towards Jin Jae-hee’s neck.
And at that moment.
Whirik-. Crunch! … … Thud. Thud-thud… … .
* * *
“… … .”
The escort’s head spun around in the air and then fell to the ground and rolled.
Next to it were the corpses of warriors, torn to pieces in an instant.
The eyes of the beheaded escort looked up at Jin Jae-hee.
“… … .”
Jin Jae-hee approached Park Ji-soo without even looking at the corpses of the fallen warriors.
