Chapter 333 – Do Hee VS Do Ye Hee (3)
About an hour had passed since the confrontation between Doshihee and Doyehee in the Black Mud Swamp was established.
The battle between the two, which seemed even up until the beginning, was clearly changing in terms of battle to one side after about 30 minutes had passed.
Of the two, it was the younger sister, Doshi-hee, who was obviously breathing heavily.
“Ha ha, ha, ha…”
“Is it just this much? Sihee, don’t you know if you can win?”
“Agari… Shut up!”
“Again, again unrefined words… I’ll have to say something to her mother later. Sihee, you said that your mouth became nasty after hanging out with a Hunter from the Guild.”
“If there is a reason for my bad mouthing, you are the cause!”
This time, Do Ye-hee leisurely blocks the arcane arrow that extends from her hand with the body of a mud golem.
Do Ye-hee dodged the mud golem that was immediately rushing towards her, and after dodging her fast steps, she regained her stance.
Most of the battles between the two went this way.
When Do-hee’s arrow flies towards Do-hee, Do-hee creates a mud golem or earth wall to block the arrow.
When Do-hee shows her gap to replenish her lack of energy, her Do-ye-hee’s mud golem rushes in to subdue her.
At first glance, it seemed that each other’s turns of attack and defense were repeated, but in fact, the reality of the battle was flowing with a completely different feeling.
Even though Ye-hee Do blocked all of Do-hee’s attacks by sitting still and manipulating the soil.
In the process of avoiding Do Ye-hee’s golem, Do-hee had to roll on the mud floor and run short of breath.
Unlike Doshi-hee, who gets tired as time goes by, Do Ye-hee, who still looks relaxed, seemed to have clearly won.
It was the same with Eunbyeol’s thoughts as she watched the duel between the two as a witness.
“Master…”
In my heart, I wanted to intervene right now and mediate this fight, but I couldn’t bear it in Eunbyeol’s situation, knowing the gravity of the duel.
A duel between hunters is a time-honored tradition.
In this era when dogs, cows, and hunters can become, it was actually just an old custom that has been abandoned, but at least for the sisters of the Dokyung Group, who have continued the Hunter family for a long time, it was not a culture that could be dismissed as a simple old custom.
Eun-byeol knew very well that even in a clash of forces that seemed ignorant at first glance, each person’s beliefs and wills were contained in it.
Because she, too, was once a girl of the Geumhyang Group, an experienced person who had been trained as a hunter.
Wouldn’t it be better if it had been a 2 to 1 confrontation from the beginning, but if he now intervened in the duel, that alone was a sufficient reason to claim Doshi-hee’s corruption.
If so, in the end, he would not be able to guarantee the safety of himself and Kim Seong-chul, whom the master wanted to protect.
So, all Eunbyeol could do was pray earnestly in her heart that her master, Doshi-hee, would somehow win.
Contrary to Eun-byeol’s expectations, the battle between the two was running dangerously as if it would end at any moment.
“… Kaheuk!”
Doshi-hee’s body, which was hit by the mud golem’s fist as her physical strength gradually dropped, rolled onto the dirt floor.
After rolling on the muddy floor several times and being attacked by mud golems, her body had turned into a muddy mess.
Doshi-hee’s worn-out clothes also indirectly expressed how desperately she is fighting the current battle.
“Stop giving up now, Si-hee. You already know that you have no chance of winning.”
“I told you to shut up… !!”
“Not wasting effort on useless things is also a virtue that a lady of Dokyung should possess. Why don’t we invest the resources we would have spent there in something more efficient?”
“Sister eight years old… !!!”
“…”
Do Ye-hee shoots abusive words at Do Ye-hee.
At the same time, she took another sip of energy supplement from her small bag at her waist.
Several empty potion bottles were scattered around her legs, as if to indicate that she had already replenished several times.
Do Ye-hee, who watched her, shook her head and moved the golem created by her earth magic towards her.
“If I eat that much at one time, will it hurt me?”
“It’s better than a life of being swayed and robbed by you for the rest of your life!”
“It wasn’t stolen. It was stolen.”
“Sir! Just! Search for it!!”
“… Uh?”
The appearance of Doshi-Hee, who has been distributing and fighting several times so far, with the momentum to pour out all the energy in one shot.
The blow, which even Do Ye-hee did not expect, suddenly created a huge gust of wind and flew toward her.
An arrow pierced the bodies of the two hastily erected golems in place of the barrier, and was deeply embedded in Do Ye-hee’s arm.
‘Poo-wook!’
“It’s great… !”
“Okay… !”
The intense pain felt in her right arm caused her body to tilt slightly once.
The moment when Eunbyul, who couldn’t hide her joy after seeing her, opened her mouth with a bright smile.
“Kheugh!”
Suddenly, several mud golems spawned around Doshi-hee, completely trapping her limbs and pinning her to the ground.
“… Master!”
“Ha… It hurts…”
Red blood trickling down from the spot where the arcane arrow had been scattered into fragments of energy flowed slowly down the shoulder.
Seizing on the first injury suffered in this duel, Do Ye-hee slowly moved her steps towards Hee, a city that had been completely overpowered.
“It was a good try. Sihee, you could have used a blow like this.”
“Keugh…”
“But you should have saved energy to use when dodging. It is the cause of your defeat that you rushed in without thinking back.”
From an objective point of view, the fact that Doh Shi-hee fought so hard against Do Ye-hee was actually close to a surprise.
In terms of timing, it was Do Ye-hee, who had already been ranked as A-rank hunter more than two years ago and achieved A+ rank not too long ago, so Do Shi-hee, who had been ranked as A-rank hunter for less than half a year, fought with each other for a while.
Even in her final moments, to the point of delivering a properly effective blow, she poured all her abilities into it.
Of course, Doshi-hee knew that defeat would inevitably be reached by taking the final blow, but despite this, Doshi-hee did not regret the act of making the final attack itself.
Anyway, in my heart, I vaguely felt that if time passed like this, I would be defeated, and the fact that I had scarred the body of my hated half-sister for the last time was a satisfactory ending.
“… Haaaaagh!”
Of course, the result of hurting Doshi-hee at the end was only ‘at least’ satisfactory for Doshi-hee.
Her actual reality was herself struggling on her floor, her body battered by her multiple attacks.
Do Ye-hee slowly steps towards her sister who struggles with her limbs restrained on her floor.
A maid quietly blocked her way.
“What is it, get out of the way.”
Do Ye-hee muttered in her nervous voice to Eun-byeol, who stopped her on her way.
Her bereavement against her like that had persuaded her to be her last in her own predicament.
“Do Ye-hee, could you please reconsider just one more time?”
“I said Vicky.”
“… From what I can see, both of you are psychologically very excited. So, if possible, talk calmly after the two of you have calmed down… Fhh?!”
“I don’t want to tell the same story three times.”
A mud golem approached Eunbyeol before she knew it and, following Do Yehee’s command, grabbed her body and threw her body into the mud.
Do Ye-hee moved her steps, quietly avoiding Eun-byeol lying on her floor, and moved her body again towards her own sister.
“Keuheuk, kuh…”
“You’ve calmed down a bit now.”
Do Ye-hee, who smiles at Doh Ye-hee, who is lying with her limbs restrained by the golem she made with magic, shows a satisfied smile.
Then she slowly squatted down on the floor and pushed her face as close to Doshi-hee as possible.
Towards her younger sister who was weeping hot tears, Do Ye-hee simply opened her mouth with her calm voice.
“You must have used up all the energy you had filled up with just that once, and now it’s time to admit defeat…”
“Two.”
“… Really, not even a speck of culture has disappeared.”
A lump of saliva protruded from the blonde girl’s mouth and ran down Do Ye-hee’s cheek.
Do Ye-hee’s head was filled with all kinds of emotions when she faced the act, which was already inconceivable as an aristocratic lady’s face.
A stick as thin as wooden chopsticks was aimed at Doshi-hee’s body from close range.
“… Sleep for a while Let’s talk about the rest at the mansion.”
“I won’t say a word to you… !!”
“First of all, when I go back to the mansion, I have to start with etiquette education again. And that hunter from the union, hurry up and clean up around you.”
“You said you didn’t care!!!”
The red magic that leaked from the tip of Do Ye-hee’s wand was aimed squarely at Do Hee-hee.
The moment when the blonde girl, imagining the pain to come, closes her eyes tightly and tenses up.
“With peace of mind, a deep sleep in the bosom of the earth… Kkehehehehe?!”
Due to the shock that suddenly hit Do Ye-hee’s body, her last order could not bear to be continued and was cut off.
“… Uh?”
Doshi-hee, unable to comprehend what was happening all of a sudden, slowly opened her eyes and muttered in a low voice.
When she opened her eyes again, what appeared in front of her was not the face of her hateful half-sister, but the one she loved.
“Shihee, are you okay?!”
“… Mr. Seongcheol?”
Doshi-hee still hasn’t fully grasped what the hell is going on.
Obviously, today’s appointment should have been canceled last night, but why is Kim Seong-cheol’s face right in front of my eyes?
Where did the mithril greatsword he usually carried go and why was he holding a shield he hadn’t seen before?
And why is the half-sister, who had been overwhelming her until just now, tumbling around in the distance?
Confused by the amount of information coming in at once, Si-hee’s mind quickly came to a simple conclusion.
“… By any chance, is this a dream?”
Fortunately, it wasn’t a dream.
