Book 3-4.4 Yulians Plan (III)

The Red Storms four horsemen, as well as a couple others, were already at the Greatest Warrior level. Although they still could not compare to the third generation Greatest Warriors of Pareia, they were at the level of the other Greatest Warriors. Two to three Wikaly warriors were falling at their hands each time.

They really are amazing.

Abham could not help but be marveled at the sight.

No matter how strong they are, they will not be able to escape. As long as they are human, they will not have infinite stamina.

Runa spoke as if he was mumbling to himself and quickly waved the flag to move the warriors.

Although it looked funny that they were moving 20,000 warriors to handle less than 60 warriors, the opponent had that much value.

Who knows, they might not be human.

Runa was having some thoughts that were contradicting what he had just said, but quickly shook his head. Whether the opponent was human or not, they still needed to catch him.

I must move as well. There is too much injury to the warriors. Wouldnt it be better for me to defend them?

Runa urgently grabbed Abham as he started to speak.

You cannot do that. I believe their goal is Abham-nim.

Abham could only watch the warriors being slashed with despair at Runas opposition.

As Runa mentioned, Yulian was aiming for Abham.

He determined that Abham was the Commanding Greatest Warrior as he was the first to step forward and wanted to catch him, but there were too many warriors in the way.

As he continued to move here and there to avoid being completely surrounded, he was starting to get further and further from Abham.

He even started to worry that the Red Storm warriors stamina will fall before he could get to Abham.

They were still moving vigorously so that kind of worry was not needed right now, but they will eventually reach their limit. He needed to push forward even if it was reckless.

Huuuuuuu~!

Yulian took a deep breath. After that, once his body had enough ki, he shouted out loudly.

One breath, that will be the end.

The moment Yulian made up his mind, his movement started to change.

Oowooooooo~!

Like a flag fluttering in a hurricane, Yulian continuously started to swing his greatsword as he moved forward.

If there was something in his way, he slashed and stabbed past it without lowering the speed of his pirma.

He was moving so fast that the Red Storm warriors were starting to fall behind.

Abham-nim, please escape!

Runa shouted loudly, but Abham shook his head.

This was an opponent who was showing great strength to fight him. Looking past the warriors etiquette, he could not escape while watching the Wikaly warriors fal one by one trying to prevent Yulian from getting closer. That was not something Abhams pride would allow him to do.

Fine, I will think that I am dead and take you on. If we can catch you even at the cost of my life, we will win this war. Our Wikaly will still have Runa.

Abham started to let out a loud shout.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, come. I will not retreat!

Oowaaaaaaa~!

The Wikaly warriors started to forget about their fear of Yulian and Red Storm thanks to the shout of their Greatest Warrior and started to increase their efforts.

Yulian could not hear anything at that moment. Well, he could hear it, but it was so quiet that you could barely call it noise. The sound of his heart beating that was ringing through his chest and head was the only thing he could hear.

The distance between Yulian and the warrior he was aiming for was not very far now. Yulian jumped off from his pirma high into the air. Although he didnt fly high like a bird, the height of his jump in the midst of a fierce battle stole everyones attention and made the shamshirs stop moving for a moment.

Although the amount of time it took Yulian to jump up and land back on the ground was only long enough to blink twice, the only thing everyone could remember was the memory that Yulian had flown like a bird.

Yulian started to dance as he was running. He was swinging his arm around and jumping up and down. That kind of dance. Maybe it is best to describe it as feeling free moving on his own two feet after being on top of the pirma for so long. Now this may be hard to believe, but he was actually running faster than he was moving while riding the pirma. That was the truth.

The Red Storm did all they could to follow behind him, As they continued to swing their swords, arms and legs started to fly away as a mist of red blood flooded where they were standing.

As Yulian and the rest of the Red Storm became covered in blood, they truly embodied their name of Red Storm.

Yaaaaaaaaaa!

Abham shouted toward Yulian who had almost instantly arrived in front of him and ran toward him on top of the pirma.

I will kill him with a single slash.

The shamshir that he was swinging wildly held that type of desire.

Boooooooong.

The unique noise of the greatsword rang through the air and Abham could feel his shamshir that arrived at Yulians side widely being pushed away. Although he had not moved his eyes from Yulian, the sight in front of his eyes was changing.

This warm feeling that hit his face. Abham felt like it took him quite a long time to realize that he had fallen off of his pirma. Yulian, who had broken the legs of Abhams pirma, tried to get toward the fallen Abham, but the Wikaly warriors protected him with their bodies.

The Red Storm warriors tried their best to get to Yulian who had advanced far far ahead, but the Wikaly warriors did not easily let them through. Although the Red Storm had strong abilities to charge through, they still did not have enough experience to pierce through a dense formation like this one.

Until now, Yulian had used his overwhelming strength to create even the smallest of gaps for them to push through, but right now, Yulian was far ahead of them.

Warriors who cannot move end up being captured. The reason they were able to come so far was because they were running and Yulian was leading in the front.

The Red Storm warriors continued to shout and used whatever strength they could muster, but as they were starting to become overwhelmed by the Wikaly encirclement, they heard Yulian shout loudly once more.

Oowoooooo! My warriors, what are you doing! Come to me! It is time to show them your strength!

Oowoooooo~

The Red Storm started to respond. They started to ignore the shamshirs and started to run forward.

I will gladly take the hit from your shamshir. There is no way it is going to hurt more than my greatsword!

Haisha shouted in a loud voice as he started to rile up the warriors.

Damn it, I told you we needed a proper plan!

Although Shubeon shouted in an annoyed voice next to him, his actions were faster and stronger than anyone else in Red Storm that all the warriors who were hit by Shubeons greatsword lost either an arm or a leg. The Red Storm started to sustain some injuries all over their bodies. But they continued to move forward and managed to successfully get rid of the warriors who were around Yulian.

With nothing to get in his way, Yulian once more started to approach Abham. Everything happened in an instant.

Booooooong.

The Wikaly could hear that terrifying noise once more.

All of the warriors around Abham ended up dead, and although other warriors were running toward them, Yulian had already broken Abhams shining shamshir into two pieces. Runa quickly tried to lead 500 warriors to prevent Yulian from getting any closer, but Yulian was already too close to Abham.

Tap.

Yulians greatsword finally landed on Abhams shoulder. The moonlight made the dark blade shine as the tip of the blade inched closer to Abhams neck.

Abham-nim!

Runa was regretting that he could not convince Abham to get to safety, and looked toward Abham and Yulian with a shocked expression.

Order them to lower their weapons.

Yulian started to speak after seeing the Red Storm warriors who were covered in blood and starting to slow down.

Kill me. I will not be lonely as there will be many of you joining me in death.

As Abham answered with a cold smile on his face, Yulian slightly turned his wrist and the blade created a small injury on Abhams neck.

Didnt I tell you already? I came here to make a deal. I will trade you for my warriors.

Seeing Yulian speak so casually, Abham clenched his teeth and started to shout.

Have the respect of a warrior! Do you mock me and kill me.

Abhams shout stopped the battle. The Wikaly warriors finally saw that their Commanding Greatest Warrior was captured, and looked at each other with shock.

What are you doing! I told you to kill them all!

At Abhams shout, the Wikaly warriors started to pick up the pace that they had slowed down. The expression on the face of the Red Storm warriors started to turn dark. Their stamina had already hit rock bottom, and they were just persevering with their mental fortitude. They would not be able to last much longer.

Yulian decided there was no need to see anything else. He had made a mistake. He tried to smudge a warriors honor.

I guess I was wrong. It will be hard to capture you. Then I will cleanly kill you. You will have died on the battlefield and since we have ended up in danger for your life, Im sure you will not regret it.

Yulians sword quickly went up and was right about to come down. But at that moment.

Wait.

Yulian stopped his sword at the voice and looked to his side. It was a young warrior who was not over 30 years of age. Well, his body was too small and did not have much muscles to call him a warrior. He might actually be a priest.

All units stop!

The lead flags started to move at the young mans voice, and the oasis instantly became quiet.

He is an amazing individual. Is he another Greatest Warrior?

As the young man in front of him had more authority than he imagined, Yulian was slightly surprised and carefully waited for the young mans next move.

Runa, what are you doing?

How will we protect an oasis without our Commanding Greatest Warrior? I can only agree to his request.

This is an order. Kill all of them right now. As you mentioned, if we do not take this opportunity, there will not be another one. Didnt you see it with your own eyes?

We cannot defend this oasis without you Abham-nim. I also wont have the desire to defend it without you.

What are you talking about, Runa?

Do you think I would have remained here if Abham-nim was not here?

As Abham closed his mouth and glared at Runa, Runa continued to speak.

There will be no problems even if those two Greatest Warriors are returned. Please do as I ask.

As Runa said that last thing only loud enough for Abham to hear, Abham looked toward Runa with a complicated expression before lowering his head.

I speak to the Pareias Glow. In return for letting the two Greatest Warriors go, release all of the Wikaly prisoners.

They say that a deal is advantageous for the one who agrees later. It is already too late. You must return the two Greatest Warriors as well as all of our warriors you have taken captive.

Fine.

Runa!

Seeing Runa agree so easily, Abham loudly called out to him.

What are you going to do if you let their warriors go as well?

Runa spoke to Abham once more.

Just trust me. We are just returning to the beginning. I was feeling a bit iffy about using such a scheme to catch such a large fish in the first place. All we have to do is properly capture all of them again.

Iffy? He feels iffy after capturing two Greatest Warriors?

Yulian was listening to Runa not with shock, but a feeling of admiration.

You must be greater than you look, arent you?

As he subconsciously asked Runa, Runa looked toward Yulian and started to smile.

How could I compare with the Pareias Glow and the warriors who came this far with just that many people? No matter how it goes from here, please take good care of me from here on.

Thrilling!

Yulian shouted loudly as his body started to shiver.

Yulian and Runa, the two mens gaze made each other start to shiver.

End of Chapter 4.

Runa Brink

A warrior who could not complete his coming-of-age ceremony.

A warrior who could not even properly swing a shamshir.

But in some aspects, his name was the same as fear itself.
