Chapter 96: Flute Of Foreboding (16)

There was a downpour.

The Hwarangs had no choice but to walk through the rain.

As the Yin qi increased, the spirits started moving, so everyone began to draw their swords to cut them down.

This is it. We have run out of luck and cannot do much now.

Right.

Seo Jun said while looking at the other Hwarangs.

Jae Tae, Nap Oh, Cheon Jin, and Juk Hyung.

The four of them kept touching their chests while cutting down the spirits. At first glance, it looked like they were wiping down the rain, but nothey were clearly scratching themselves.

However, they were totally unconsciously doing it.

The rain got stronger, lightning flashed, and the sky split.

Cheon Jin shouted,

Isnt that a hut?

Fortunately, they still had some luck, so everyone hurriedly ran toward it.

The inside of the hut was the same as the last time Seol Young saw it.

Hae Cheon-rang, we can sit here.

Seo Jun sat down first.

The corners of the hut had higher places, so sitting there would give them more space.

I think we will live now.

After drying their clothes and filling their stomachs, they laid down.

Seo Jun also laid down.

He seemed carefree as he put his head on his arm to rest, but his eyes were constantly looking at the other Hwarangs.

When I return to the capital, I will take a bath first.

I want a bowl of soup. I am sick of dry food.

Everyone was talking about random things, but Jae Tae was silent. At first glance, it looked like he was relaxing, but that wasnt the truth.

His body was twitching, and he would occasionally stretch out his limbs.

However, no one else noticed this except for Seo Jun.

Seo Jun looked at Hae Cheon, who was asleep.

Lets just continue to watch for now.

One by one, the voices stopped. The others began to fall asleep, and Seo Jun was the only one awake.

In the pitch-black darkness, Jae Tae suddenly got up, feeling frustrated and struggling to hold his neck.

Seo Jun also jumped up. He approached him and grabbed him by the shoulder.

Look at me, Jae Tae-rang.

At that moment, Seo Jun stiffened.

He realized that this wasnt Jae Tae-rang.

It took his form and attacked Seo Jun right away. Then they exchanged blows.

What are you doing?

Seo Jun barely avoided the attack and tried to press him down. Sensing that he wouldnt be able to subdue him, he drew his sword with one hand and stabbed him near his shoulder blade.

It was then

Seo Jun-rang!

Hae Cheon woke up in shock. The other Hwarangs, who were in deep sleep, also got up.

What happened?

Turn on the lights!

And then the hut shone. At that time, Seo Jun was twisting Jae Taes arm from behind and suppressing him.

Help! Jae Tae-rang is acting weird!

But nobody even listened.

What is that?

What is with his face?

Seeing what Seo Jun was doing, his opponents also did the same.

All sorts of objects were being thrown and hitting his body.

But he didnt know how to avoid them.

If only I had learned it correctly If only I worked a little harder!

Seo Jun mumbled.

Still, he gritted his teeth and fought. Considering his skills and physical condition, he looked like a superhuman.

Eventually, the Hwarangs fell one by one.

Hae Cheon was the last.

Sorry. Sorry.

Seo Jun had stabbed him enough times to prevent him from escaping. Soon, Hae Cheons body went limp.

Seo Jun slowly got up. During the fight, he was cut and stabbed in dozens of places. And there wasnt a single part of his body that wasnt hurt.

He sat there for a long time in the dark and then sighed.

He struggled to raise his severely injured body and fumbled around the floor. Seo Geom asked,

What are you doing?

He is trying to check the faces of the corpses. He cannot see them with his eyes, so he is trying to feel them.

Zaha said,

Right.

When they die, the human-faced sores will vanish.

Seo Jun carefully touched the corpses, and after checking them, he removed the cloth. Everyone was back to normal.

He touched the ground.

Ritual items and their other belongings were all strewn on the ground. Among them, he found the lantern and lit it.

And then the hut shone.

A horrific sight was revealed, with blood splattered everywhere. It was as if someone had painted the walls and floors with blood.

Ha

Seo Jun stood still for a long time, as if stunned. He had a horrified expression on his face as he looked at his allies. And he soon said,

I will head back to the capital and bring more people.

Seol Young looked at Seo Jun.

Right now, he couldnt say anything because he was playing the pipa to maintain the vision. But if he could speak, he would have asked him,

Why?

The more he saw it, the more he questioned it.

Seo Jun was injured to the extent that his body was terribly hurt. However, he wanted to call the people from the capital to help his dead comrades.

So why did he kill himself?

It felt so stupid.

It was the same with the other two who were watching.

At that time, Seo Jun, who was looking at his dead colleagues, stiffened.

His gaze was nailed to one spot on the bloody floorthe place strewn with ritual items. There were signs of a struggle. But there was one thing that stood out.

Paper.

The moment Seol Young saw it, his blood went cold.

He couldnt see what was written, but he knew what it was.

That

Zaha mumbled,

The report that Cheon Jin-rang and Juk Hyung-rang drew. The report they drew to bring back to the capital.

What?

Seo Geom was shocked.

Ah! No!

His complexion turned pale. He looked at his older brother with trembling eyes.

NO! DONT LOOK!!
