Invincible Mumu - Chapter 145
Chapter 145 – True King (4)
The True King, Jong Myung-in, had tears welling up in his eyes.
He had thought that it might be the end of his life as he desperately stood here, so how did this miracle happen?
The daughter he had been pampering all his life, suddenly appeared here?
“Father!”
“Na-yeon!”
The two hugged each other tightly with tears of held back emotions flowing down as they met after many crises.
The sight of this made the fight stop.
At this moment when the two welcomed each other, they had no choice but to feel for them, but not everyone was like this.
‘Just how?’
Ki Nan-hang, the vice commander with the mask, couldn’t hide his shock when Hong Na-yeon was brought here.
He sent his own men and Captain Gu along with the troops to where she was. Even with her escorts, he was sure they would get the job done.
It was because he told them to use the surest formation. That being the case, how did she manage to get here?
Furthermore—
‘How did they get here when they were supposed to be eight kilometers away?’
No matter how much he calculated and thought about this, it didn’t seem right. Even if they managed to escape with luck on their side, coming to this place would take a lot of time. It was a situation he couldn’t understand in the slightest.
‘Is he the variable?’
Swish!
—the middle-aged man with a rough face and white steam being released from gis body.
The tremendous intimidation rising from that black skin and clearly defined muscles made even Ki Nan-hang unsure of this.
However, unlike the sense of intimidation, the energy within the body of the man strangely felt less than that of a first rate warrior.
‘What is this?’
Due to the unexpected variable coming here, Ki Nan-hang felt a bit hesitant, but there were those who didn’t.
It was the Fierce Wind Troop’s captain, Mok.
‘Princess!’
The daughter of the True King was right in front of him.
Who brought her here and how they appeared weren’t so important. There was a chance to deal with the True King and her at the same time, so there was no need to stare about this situation.
Pat!
Captain Mok, who was determined, moved to the left.
At first glance it looked like he was going in a different direction, but he turned left because that was the only way he could get away from other’s view.
Pak!
Using the ground for support, Captain Mok tried to throw his blade at both the king and the princess who were hugging each other.
‘Got them!’
He thought his sword would definitely cut the woman down at once.
Clang!
But his sword soared high and was prevented by the thin blade.
‘Twin Swords.’
Captain Mok’s expression crumbled as he realized who stopped his attempt.
If he had been just a little faster, his attack wouldn’t have been prevented, but it felt like he had been too hesitant and wasted too much time.
The True King was also startled at the metal sound which came from behind.
“Huh!”
“Get back, father!”
Pak!
Hong Na-yeon was pushed back behind her father as she moved as light as a butterfly.
Wheik!
Pulling out arrows with her quick hands, she was ready to use her bow.
As a martial artist, the basics in archery were quick shots. And in this situation where she moved back, she immediately shot at Captain Mok, who was a bit shocked.
Pang!
‘This!’
But the guy immediately avoided the arrow and, not missing the chance when he avoided it, Ah Gong moved with his blades.
It was to cut him down at the throat.
Srng!
In that short moment, Ki Nan-hang swiftly blocked the blade of Ah Gong.
The moment the blade and sword collided, a sharp wind rose around the collision.
Chachachacha!
Ki Nan-hang’s eyes through the mask narrowed as the weapons collided.
He knew right then that the both of them had equal internal energy. Ah Gong was surprised too.
‘As I thought.’
The man with his odd evil mask—he expected it to some extent, but this man was too much.
Then, the only person who could deal with him was this man.
Ah Gong looked to the side at Mumu and said,
“I don’t know who you are, but I am sure that you are an ally, so please. Please protect his highness, the True King, and the princess. Ha!”
Boong!
As soon as the words ended, Ah Gong swung his right hand.
Ki Nan-hang, who had the mask on, retrieved the sword that was colliding with the other sword and blocked it.
Chachachang!
In an instant, both weapons collided constantly with sparks rising up. There was no sign of anyone being pushed back.
“Captain Mok!”
Ki Nan-hang shouted as he clashed. It was just a shout, but it meant two things.
One was to command everyone on his behalf, and the other was to capture the father and daughter.
Knowing this, Captain Mok nodded and aimed for the target, the True King, again.
“How dare you!”
Hong Na-yeon, who was ready for him to come back, lowered her body and shot three arrows at the same time.
‘Enhanced three living Arrows!’
Swish!
Three arrows moved high up, in the center, and down low at the man.
“Huh!”
Captain Mok wasn’t some young warrior. Even if the arrows came from close range, he could stop them.
Chachang!
Captain Mok, who hit the arrows back, closed the distance between them, and Hong Na-yeon only felt shocked at this.
“Puak!”
‘If only I could catch the girl!’
He could change the situation, but there was something he overlooked.
Tak!
Someone grabbed him by the head when Hong Na-yeon was being approached.
Pat!
“Huh?”
It was Mumu with the skin mask.
He believed that the situation would end with Hong Na-yeon being captured, but he was too confident in himself.
“Let me go!”
He swung the blade at Mumu and assumed it would cut him down.
But—
Clang!
‘!?’
The moment the blade touched the neck, it was the blade which split in two, thoroughly shocking Captain Mok.
“Diamond Body?”
“…”
Regardless of whether it was or not, Mumu had lifted him up.
Crack!
“Acck.”
With a horrid scream which was short, Captain Mok’s head was crushed, making Hong Na-yeon shocked at the sight of the man going limp.
It wasn’t martial arts but sheer force which killed the man.
And this was something she could never adapt to.
“N-Na-yeon. He is?”
Chachang!
She wasn’t the only one shocked at this.
Even if he didn’t learn martial arts, the True King had witnessed it many times, so he was aware of the difference between martial arts.
“The kid is, no, this is master Yu from the academy.”
“Master from the academy?”
Hong Na-yeon couldn’t reveal Mumu’s true identity right then, and her father bowed with both hands clasped at the chest.
“Ah! You must have been the master of the academy! I am the father of this child. I don’t know how to repay you for this favor.”
The True King was humble despite being a member of the royal family, and seeing him like that, Mumu’s eyes changed.
The imperial family and people around them were usually known to be arrogant and misuse their power as they pushed his father Yu Yeop-kyung into exile, but he seemed different.
‘He seems like a nice person.’
In response, Mumu also put his hands together and bowed. He wanted to say something but he remembered what the deputy said about his voice.
Mumu acting like this might be perceived as arrogant by the True King and the members around, but here the man didn’t seem to care.
It was because the situation hadn’t been taken care of yet, so he instead asked for help.
“Master Yu. I am sorry, but if you do not mind, Ah-hyung there, can you please help the man over there?”
The True King pointed his finger to the side where Ah Gong was fighting Ki Nan-hang fiercely.
There was no retreat from the fight between the two who were of equal level.
Chachachang!
Rather, the clashes made the ground crack below, and everyone else avoided them.
This fight, blade energy and sword energy constantly went against each other.
“I-is that a fight between top warriors?”
“They don’t seem like humans at all.”
“Do not get close. If we get caught our limbs will get cut off.”
No one dared to get close. Even the two warriors who were fighting were extremely precise with their movements.
A single mistake could cause them defeat and cause havoc to the rest of their allies.
‘They aren’t known as the best for nothing. Strong. So strong.’
‘This is not something to be taken lightly.’
The two warriors fought but they admired the skills of the others too. As much as the fight was between two opposite sides, they were still skilled people.
And they felt it.
‘It might take a while.’
If they fought like this, the confrontation would take half a day or maybe even a few days. However, their expectations were wrong.
Pat!
It was because someone intervened between the two warriors.
‘Who?’
‘Ah?’
To get in the middle of this was suicide, but the one who intervened was none other than Mumu.
‘This!’
Chak!
At the sudden appearance of Mumu, Ah Gong couldn’t pull back his blade as he was too close to making contact, and even Ki Nan-hang was in the same situation.
‘Foolish man!’
Of course, Ki Nan-hang had no intention of stopping his attack either.
But—
Chchch!
‘!?’
The sword energy and blade energy which touched Mumu’s body wouldn’t penetrate the skin at all. At this, Ki Nan-hang and Ah Gong’s eyes widened.
It could be said that the energy was condensed and refined for the most precise kill.
‘T-this…’
‘He withstood this with muscles alone?’
Shh!
Mumu raised his hand up and lightly punched Ki Nan-hang in the head.
Crack!
At that moment, the man spun like a top.
Thud!
And he fell to the ground.
‘!!!’
Ah Gong saw this and was so shocked that his mouth opened wide. Even the True King was shocked and asked his daughter,
“… T-that person is the master of the academy?”
