Chapter 1848. If there is such a thing as fate. (3) ❀ ❀ ❀ When is the moment of greatest fear for one who stands on the battlefield? Is it when they witness a person’s head being severed right before their eyes? Or when they see the limbs of a friend—who had once promised to return alive with them—fly through the air? Or perhaps when defeat is inevitable and no path of escape remains? No. While these may be moments of despair, they are not the ‘most’ terrifying. Mere difficulty in a situation doesn’t automatically bring fear. Then when does someone on the battlefield feel true terror? Now, everyone who stands on this land can answer that question. It is when there is no hesitation in the enemy's attack. A wolf chasing a sheep does not hesitate. Because it is certain that it will not suffer any harm from this hunt. This is not a charge risking life for honor or ambition. It is a rush for slaughter, a charge without even a flicker of hesitation—purely to hunt. E...

Chapter 1847. If there is such a thing as fate. (2) ❀ ❀ ❀ Jo Geol swallowed dryly. His throat was so parched it felt like a knife was being forced down it—he could even feel pain. Though the exhaustion from using up all his stamina and depleted internal energy was difficult, what truly wore him down was the ‘anxiety’. His eyes kept scanning the sky restlessly.

He didn’t even need to mention the ever-busy Baek Ah. But despite his firm belief, the blood-draining anxiety refused to fade. It was the certainty that sacrifices were still being made at that very moment—and the fear that someone he knew might be among them. ‘No more. Please.‘ He’d already lost too much. He couldn’t take any more. Jo Geol would rather become a cold corpse himself. He didn’t want to witness the death of anyone ...

  Chapter 1846. If there is such a thing as fate. (1) ❀ ❀ ❀ “Ooooooh!” Sparks flew as swords clashed. Fierce sword energy and deep hatred poured toward one another. The moment he faced it, Baek Cheon’s mind went blank. ‘Why…?’ He hadn’t even imagined it. Yet at the same time, he had no choice but to accept it. What would the Heavenly Comrade Alliance warriors have thought if they had seen them while tracking Jang Ilso? Those masked men radiating extraordinary energy, clearly fighting on the side of the Evil Tyrant Alliance. If they witnessed those same people escaping the battlefield without much harm… ‘No need to think twice.’ Of course, they would have pursued them. Unlike the others who scattered and fled, these ones still maintained a collective identity. From Heavenly Comrade Alliance’s perspective, they had to be concerned about what kind of future trouble such a group might bring. Even Baek Cheon would have thought the same in this situation. He would hav...
