Its teeth were spooky, like a cogwheel.
“Hey, go away.”
He ignored me. The goblin warrior roared again and rushed to me while holding an ax in his hand.
I extended my right foot a little and swung the knife sideways.
My knife and his ax collided and sparked. The palm of my hand rang as if I had hit the baseball wrong.
Ignoring the pain in my palm, I grabbed the hilt tighter. Then I swung it down, aiming at the Goblin’s shoulder. The Goblin grabbed the ax with both hands and raised it to block the knife.
Pak-
The knife sliced the ax halfway and then stopped. I wished I had cut its shoulder, but I split my shoulders instead. Then the Goblin kicked my stomach with my heels.
I rolled back. This time, the Goblin hit the ax. I grabbed the hilt with my right hand and lifted it up with my left hand. The ax head hit the blade.
The blade was totally broken. The Goblin Warrior’s mouth opened wide.
Are you laughing at this?
I felt bad. I tried to swear, but he hit the ax again. I strengthened my arms and held up.
The ax struck the knife with force, and the impact transmitted to my arms. It hurts so much like my arms will fall off, because of blocking the Goblin’s strike continuously. I was getting sick. He persistently aimed at my head, but suddenly changed his target. The trajectory of the ax changed and fell to my stomach.
Damn it.
I hurriedly moved my knife towards my stomach.
I blocked it, but it didn’t move quickly enough. The ax that passed by hitting the knife impaled my stomach. My clothes were cut, and my abdomen was cut open. The pain flared intensely. The
The next attack seemed to be unstoppable.
But I need to act quickly. I raised my foot and hit the Goblin’s arm; then the ax fell from his hand. I swung my knife to hit the falling ax to the side.
The Goblin flew to catch the ax. I quickly stood up and threw myself in front of the knife. I pierced the Goblin’s ass.
“Great!”
The Goblin cried bitterly. I pushed the knife as hard as I could. The knife dug deep. The Goblin’s
limbs trembled and stopped moving.
After I pulled the knife out of its ass, I turned the Goblin and pulled the dagger to its stomach. This guy was not just a goblin, but a warrior goblin. Something good will come out.
“Come out, come out, come out. Come out of good beads.”
I frowned as I saw the lumpy beads. When I ate this, my stomach seemed to hurt very much. I gathered the goblins I caught and plowed them. Only one of them had a bead.
“The blue beads came out.”
It was really nice. I swallowed it immediately. As soon as I ate it, a signal came. My spine tingled, my body warmed up. I felt that my body was getting stronger. I shouted for joy.
“Woah!”
I am not weird! The marbles are working!
I became courageous and rushed to the goblins.
I beat the Goblin because I was much stronger than before.
After 30 minutes, the Goblin was all gone. After eating the blue beads, I caught six more, but no beads came out.
I was sitting on the Goblin’s body, but my hands trembled. I was confused as to whether I was shaking because I was running out of physical fitness or because I was hungry.
I waited for the angels to appear and fill my hunger. Moaning and crying were heard from all over the place. The gangsters also seemed to be waiting too. Some of them expressed their frustration by punching toward the sky.
“Demon, give us rice.”
“If it doesn’t work, give me bread.”
“No, give me meat.”
The angel did not appear until sunset. Even those who did not greet the angels were nervous because it did not appear. This is because only the angel knows about this place and can take us back.
As time went by, the rumbling increased, and the number of restless people increased. Kim Byung-woo moved. A broken wooden fence was split into firewood, and a fire was set on a vacant lot outside the wooden fence to create a kind of crematorium. Then he threw the bodies.
Fighting together creates Jeon-ae-ae. It’s only been two days since we met, but in the meantime, people stopped Kim Byung-woo.
“What is this?”
A large young man blocked Kim Byung-woo’s front.
“There are no hospitals, no doctors, no drugs.”
“What is that?”
“If the body rots, there will be an epidemic. It smells bad too. You’ll have to bury or burn the body, will you bury it?”
The rebellious person hesitated. Burying them will take all night.
“Will we move there then?”
It makes no sense to abandon a sturdy house and camp in the forest or on the streets of dangerous creatures.
That was a dumb idea. Kim Byung-woo pushed him out and burned the body. I ripped my clothes to cover my nose and mouth and helped Kim Byung-woo.
The smell was terrible. It wasn’t nasty because of the disgusting smell, but it was dirty because of the mouth. It was because I was hungry.
I spat on the floor and said.
“Should we clean it all up?”
Kim Byeong-woo robbed his hand and went to the well and beckoned to the groups. They did not rebel and responded to the call. Through their reaction, I could confirm the huge presence of Kim Byung-woo.
He opened his mouth after he glanced at the leaders of the four groups, Kang Dong-Taek, Choi Yoo- mi, Seo Su-Myeong, and Kang Yoo-Sik with intense eyes.
“Let’s burn the body.”
Kang Dong-Taek seemed to be offended by Kim Byung-woo’s orders. He raised his chin and lowered his eyes.
“Why should we?”
He looked pathetic.
“If all of us will help, it will end quickly.”
Kim Byeong-woo did not deal long. When he turned his back and stepped forward, Kang Dong- Taek cursed and stopped in front of him, then backed up with his bloody eyes. Kim Byung-woo added, passing by Gang Dong-Taek.
“Leave about thirty goblins.”
“Why?”
“There is a need.”
Then a rumbling sound came out from my stomach, and a good idea came to mind. I spoke up.
“We’ll eat goblins.”
“It would be better not to eat as much as possible.”
Kim Byung-Woo moved past the crematorium to the forest. My heart was like a chimney, but I was too hungry.
The light shined on Kim Byung-woo’s back and gradually moved toward the bridge. The last light on the heel missed him.
I took fire from the crematorium and made a bonfire in the square. Then I put the chopped Goblin’s legs into the fire.
Choi Yoo-mi frowned and asked.
“Are you going to eat?”
“Yes.”
“Kim Byeong-woo told us not to eat.”
“I sat in front as much as possible. I think this is rotten. People who have a strong stomach won’t get sick from eating.”
Modern civilization argues that monsters were not food. However, my stomach was empty for a day, and my thoughts became different. I could even eat stones.
As I stepped in, I ran into the goblins one by one and started burning them. I apologized to Choi Yoo-mi, waiting for the Goblin to cook.
“Sorry.”
“What are you sorry about?”
“I went there in the morning. To be honest, some of what you said was true.”
“Some?”
Her eyes narrowed.
