The Bloody General Sword
The Eps 49
Late at night, the footprints in the meadow made a man standing there look fragile, he had accepted his destiny, if it would bring kindness to his generals then he was willing to betray.
The night wind and cloudy suddenly came to cover the full moon. The light gradually extinguished, the footprints getting closer to him. Rui turned around and watched as his General was standing before him, his two eyeballs had turned ghastly jet black.
"You are here Rui Akai" said the general.
"Yes the general."
Rui's pale face did not make General Kimi have any compassion for him. He then chuckles.
"The wind blows it tells me, if one of Akai has betrayed me, so are you Rui Akai?" tanyakanya.
"I'm ready to accept the punishment, General." He bowed and knelt before him.
"You know exactly how a traitor punishes, don't you? I don't need to hear your sentimental reasons. Do you have any last words? Because my sword can't wait any longer." A terrifying face with black eyes stared at the kneeling figure who was smiling resignedly looking at his General with a look of affection and pity.
"Kimi ga's. I hope in your next life you will change, live a happy life and...."
A sword slash rang out a terrifying tear right in front of Rui Akai's body. A deep and thick red blood smeared through the general's sword, blood splattered across the expanse of grassland, as well as blood coming out from Rui Akai's mouth. He raised his hand, looking at his General on his knees, he looked at him one last time.
"I..I am Rui, your little friend, don't you remember?" Those were the last words from him, the body lowered its head while holding his sword.
General Kimi ga just stared at him for a while, he then left one of his loyal soldiers dead in his own hands.
***
The four Akai jumped up and surrounded the lifeless body, the four Akai were saddened by his death. Hatachi cried bitterly when he saw that Rui was lifeless.
Otaru kneeled down, she held onto Rui. His face showed a surprised expression.
"He's alive" he said.
Hatachi approached and held it, deftly pulling his sword and releasing his own hilt.
"Hatachi what are you going to do?" ask Otaru.
"It's still not too late, he has to fall back asleep into a chunk of rock, it's still not too late" he said with a trembling voice and hunting breath.
"But that's impossible, haven't we swallowed the last stone that turned us into a chunk of stone?" Tutsima.
"I just found out about this too. I read it from the royal book of Ochtosk. If you've swallowed a drug that's gonna turn you to stone, then you just need to drink this and you're gonna go back to being a chunk of ice."
Hatachi rushed to drink the strange water he had taken from his butut bag.
The first hiccup made the sky dark for a moment, the second gulp of wind blew very hard. Hatachi gave Rui a third gulp, slowly hardening his body and turning into chilly chunks of stone and looking perfectly sculpted. Rui turned back into a chunk of stone with a kneeling position.
"What's that drink, Hatachi?" ask Otaru.
"Water of the Kyusu River, I brought it just in case something like this happens later."
"Now help me hide Rui, before the general finds out" Hatachi said. The four of them carried Rui on the riverbank, the four of them hid the chunks of Rui rock joined with other river stones.
"Wait for Rui, you'll be with us again in our next life" Hatachi said, staring sadly at Rui's face, which had turned to stone.
***
The main barracks have been completely empty, today the general and some people will return to Hangjang.
General Geem's face was pale, since last night he could not sleep because he thought about Renzai and about the prince's plan to kill his daughter. Will he let it? He knew that Renzai could not enter the kingdom of Hanjang, so the only plan he had in his head was to follow the prince's plan before General Kimi did not fully control his daughter's body.
Everyone was amazed when the Prince changed course, they would pass through the famous village of Gem and the famous river, the Kyusu river.
"We will rest a little, when we arrive at Gem village," said the prince. At that time, the Gem general ordered the soldiers to take some of the people away from Geem village, only a few people were there.
There were only five of them left, the Gem general's face was as pale as paper. They were standing near the Kyusu river, suddenly the wind was back strong, the sky started to darken covering the clear weather in the sky, the raindrops started to fall. That horrifying laughter sounded from behind on the river rocks, they were all staring at him.
The four Akai were also on the left and right side of the General.
"You will all be my precious collection" he told them. Before he attacked, the Akai had surrounded his generals, they surrounded him and were about to strike back.
YOU'RE ALL TRAITORS."
The sound of a huge shout emanating from the darkness sounded terrifying, the four Akai tried to cripple the general Kimi Ga with his strength. While the Gem general was staring at his daughter with his tears, he could not see those horrible eyes emanating from his daughter's face, the swords hitting them one by one, the Akai falling easily, he said, his sword force was unable to resist the might of their great general, blood filling their bodies horribly.
You traitors, you better die in my hands.
General Kimi ga was about to thrust his sword at the wounded Otaru, but from behind, the Yamagashi prince attacked Renzai until his arm was injured.
"This is not your era anymore General Kimi Ga, our era is gone, you and I cannot live in this era anymore" said Prince Yamagashi.
The sound of the clang of the sword rang out in the swiftness of the flowing river water. Physician Jang and Vice Cheon simply stared at the battle without being able to do anything about it, they were but silent witnesses to the rise of the famous general Ochtosk.
The madness of General Kimi's swordplay was nothing compared to him, with one swing of the sword, the prince's sword fell, now he was cornered, soon his life will end in the hands of General Kimi ga. The hand was about to slash, but without anyone expecting it, the Gem general ran behind him and thrust the sword into his own daughter.
"KIMI GAAA!"
He screamed loudly while crying miserably, the sword was now stuck on his daughter's back.
Blood flowing from behind his back fell on the rocks of the Kyusu river. This happened again, in ancient times, when Gem was pursued by the warrior Ochtosk. A woman helped him until she gave him the water of the Kyusu River and turned it into foam and flowed with the clear flowing water. Now, that happened again.
Renzai knelt down with a sword piercing from behind his back to the front of his body.
Weeping and running towards his daughter, General Gem laid his daughter on the rocks, blood pouring from her mouth.
"Renzai ... Renzai. Renzai forgive me." The cry of General Gem seemed to make himself suffer.
Those eyes were still black and chuckled in his last moments.
"You. You're the little boy I saved, what an irony. Now you're the one who's back to make me hurt like this, hehehe."
He coughed, his black eyes slowly turning white. He returned out of the shackles of General Kimi ga. The father stared in all directions asking anyone for help to help his daughter.
"Please .. help my daughter, hang on Renzai, I'll help you. Hang in! Prince, please prince. Please my daughter, help her" said the father in despair.
Prince Yamagashi shook his head.
"Renzai cannot be saved anymore, but there is one thing that can help him" he said, looking down at the river.
"W-what is a prince?" Before Prince Yamagashi answers the General knows his point. Slowly putting his daughter's head on the rocks, he went down into the Kyusu river and took the water in a container.
The roar of the wind was very strong as if shaking the Gem village, the lightning struck the trees inside the forest, the afternoon looked darker than usual. With trembling hands he gave the kyusu river water slowly in Renzai's mouth, the first gulp made the wind blow very hard, and, makes healer Jang and deputy Cheon try to open his eyes in order to see with his own two eyes that the legend of the Kyusu river is true.
Second hiccup, second hiccup, Horrible lightning struck each other bound in the sky and the three gulps of the sky darkened as if the sun had set with the rain falling along the body that would soon flow with the swift water of the river. The body slowly disappeared.
"M-I'm sorry Renzai's father ... I pray in your next life, we meet again. Go quietly, until you return." Before his daughter disappeared, General Tetsu's sword was removed by General Gem.
The rainwater that soaked the body slowly flowed along with the swift water of the river. The general did not stop crying looking at Renzai who turned into foam.
Physician Jang and Vice Cheon just fell silent watching all that. Suddenly Prince Yamagashi moved, he took the water of the river and drank one by one the Akai.
"Go in peace, when the time comes, your general will rise again, try to change it for the better, I believe you Akai are capable of this task."
After drinking the water of the river, one by one Akai turned back into chunks of stone, beautifully carved on the river. The faces of healer Jang and Vice Cheon now gaped wider to his surprise, the four of them had turned into stones that would fall asleep sometime, perhaps tens, hundreds or even thousands of years.
"It's my turn now" said prince Yamagashi.
General Gem, healer Jang and Vice Cheon stared at the prince, with a clueless look.
"Prince. What did you say?" ask General Geem.
"I told you before, I'm like Lee Renzai. I didn't live in the Juseon era. I'm from the Ochtosk kingdom."
"But prince, you are the crown prince of this kingdom, why can you live in the same age as General Kimi ga?" Ask the General.
Prince Yamagashi only smiled faintly, he took out his sun sword, then pressed it, the stone just coming out of his sword.
"I'll see your daughter again in the next life, goodbye General Gem."
Prince Yamagashi swallowed the stone, now slowly his body changed, his body now hardened like a beautifully sculpted stone with a sword holding position. Before closing his eyes, he recalled the reason he lived in the same age as General Kimi ga.
My reason is quite simple General Geem, because from a long time ago until now I loved your daughter.
Slowly the sky began to change, which was once terrible black with lightning striking is now replaced with beautiful weather in the afternoon. The three were still fixated on the rocks, their bodies still felt stiff to move.
General Gem stared at that flowing river, he was the only one who turned into foam. Only the King, the general and the ruthless man changed as did the fate of his daughter Lee Renzai. The Gem General looked at the sky then slowly stared at the river.
"Dad hopes we meet again Renzai, until that time comes, Dad will be waiting for you."
Turtle chants represented a bereaved heart, the clattering of horse legs made the inhabitants hide trembling in search of shelter.
A boy named Lee Geem ling was asking his parents, telling them the sad story that happened in a river, the story was a legend in the past, he said, a lesson to those who are cruel.
What is the general looking for? it is a mystery to anyone who wants to know his story
