I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 51. Call me an archery genius (1)

Humans and beastmen were not on good terms from the beginning, but a full-fledged confrontation began with the Samael Empire.

200 years ago, there was a craze for slavery in the Samael Empire. Various sports using handmen were popular, and nobles who did not have handman slaves could not join the social world.

Despite this violence, the prisoners could not resist. There are various species, they do not communicate with each other, and because they insist on tribal life, there is no place where the number exceeds 100 people.

Furthermore, since the prevailing opinion among the carnivorous beast tribes was that ‘being enslaved by humans is also the law of the jungle’, the herbivorous beast tribes with poor fighting ability had no choice but to live as slaves of humans.

However, due to an incident, the anger of all the beast tribes exploded.

‘The case of manslaughter at the Letwood Suin Racecourse.’

What happened here was so brutal and horrific that even records were expunged.

However, due to the cattle tribes who escaped from the beast racecourse, the horrors of the time were heard by the carnivorous beast tribes.

“This is not ignoring the Uma tribe. You are ignoring all of us beast people.”

The two major mountain ranges of the Suin tribe, the elder of the Birang tribe and the elder of the Gumiho tribe visited the emperor as representatives and informed them.

He told them to abolish beastman slavery right now, or he would destroy the empire.

Thus began the war between the beasts and the empire, and ended with the defeat of the beasts after 50 years.

The emperor and his army had no mercy, and at this time, countless beasts were annihilated.

Among them, the beast tribe, fearing extinction, chose to surrender, and the emperor accepted them, calling them the Hang tribe.

The emperor gave the Hang people three options.

Live forever as a slave, or enlist in the Imperial Army and gain freedom after 50 years of service.

Or will they bring back the defeated soldiers of the Seven Beasts, the Seven Evils, who led the Inhuman War?

Most of the Hangang people chose to enlist. No matter how much he surrendered to the emperor, he didn’t want to capture a beast like himself and offer it to the emperor.

He decided that it would be better to enlist in the Imperial Army and kill humans.

Moreover, to the Beasts, who generally live for 300 years, 50 years did not feel so far away.

However, that was a complacent thought that looked down on the emperor too much. Only three out of 100 people were discharged after completing 50 years.

Horses are soldiers, but they were not treated the same as human soldiers.

Unreasonable missions and death-forced battles. An old barracks with a hole in the ceiling. poor food. scarce supplies.

There was only one way to stay safe in this environment. Recognizing yourself as a human pet.

One of the surviving races was the Geomik Tribe.

“Father, what? Enlist in the army!?”

“Why do we have to bear the sins of our ancestors? I can’t admit it!”

Ga Ran and Maran, the twin brothers of the sword tribe, screamed out loud. Cozy wings sprouted from their backs, and their soft feathers hardened like steel when they were angry.

The father of the two sons continued to persuade calmly.

“Even if you enlist in the military, you will not be discriminated against. Because we swore allegiance to General Carlos. You too will be assigned to the General’s direct unit. If you just listen to the general, nothing will happen. No, rather, you will be able to live a comfortable life incomparable to other beastmen.”

“A comfortable life? look at your father Is that what living a comfortable life looks like now!”

The father of the twins is 90 years old, a young individual who has just become an adult. However, its lifespan is almost over. It was thanks to being rolled too harshly during my military days.

The brothers didn’t even know who their mother was. Because I was not born out of love, I was born out of necessity.

“Karan, even though I look like this, I am happy. I want you to know that too.”

“That’s Okay. We’d rather find the Seven Evils. I don’t want to be like my father!”

Thus, Garan and Maran recklessly left the empire and began to search for the Seven Evils.

But it couldn’t have been easier.

All the seven evil species that could have been discovered and caught were all sacrificed and hung in front of the city gate. The seeds of the seven evil species have dried up completely, to the extent that rumors about the extinction of the seven evil species are heard from time to time.

The two brothers were given a 10-year grace period. It was the result of his father’s connection to General Carlos.

Externally, the Geomik tribe was treated as a semi-nobility as a beast tribe that was pardoned by the emperor. That’s why it wasn’t difficult to get help from the investigation to find the Seven Evils.

The problem is that the seven evils themselves are not visible.

“Let’s stop now. Time is running out. Why don’t you try to find another way?”

The younger brother, Maran, declared giving up in the ninth year, but the older brother, Garan, did not.

“There are traces of the Birangs in the Adeus Kingdom. There is no record of finding their bodies. They must be alive. We were chasing them down to their chins.”

“brother. I’ve heard eyewitnesses too, but they’re dead. You were mortally wounded and fell thousands of meters off a cliff. The reason we couldn’t find the body on the floor was because the beasts ate it.”

“Does it make sense that you couldn’t find a single piece of flesh or bone? Alive!”

“If you escaped alive, there must be a trace! Since there are no traces, humans didn’t close the case either!”

“shut up! If you want to go to the army, go alone. I will find it!”

Garan held the dust-like clue tightly in his hand and did not let go. In his eyes, he could clearly see his future self who had become like his father.

Maran couldn’t bear to leave his brother like that. Anyway, 1 year left. I had already wasted nine years, so there was nothing I couldn’t do for another year.

A year passed by just like that.

“brother. Today is the last day. You searched the entire mountain range.”

There were no Birangs.

However, Karan said in a more confident voice.

“Hey, look at that town. will definitely be there Are you sure. He disguised himself as a human and is hiding there.”

The village he pointed to was the village of Hakoz in the territory of Sephira, the realm of Lillian Kingdom.

Maran sighed and said.

“brother. Do you think humans didn’t search there? Of course I did. The Imperial Intelligence Agency is responsible for making things that don’t exist and finding them.”

“Even if you say the Imperial Intelligence Service, you’re a human after all.”

“Whoa.”

Maran decided to accept his brother’s insistence. After all, there is only one day left. When this night is over, Garan will also give up.

It was the time when he was monitoring the village of Hakoz from above the clouds. I saw humans fighting in the middle of a bean field.

Maran was not interested in fighting humans. The level was low, and the technology was insignificant.

But isn’t his older brother Ka-ran closely watching the fights between humans?

“Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Karan suddenly bursts into madness.

Maran wondered if his brother had finally gone mad.

“You’re not saying you won’t go back to the Empire, are you? Then father… … .”

“no! I found it, I found it! The Seven Evils!”

“What are you talking about? I can’t even see the dust of the Seven Evils. Everyone is human.”

“Look at the humans fighting in the bean field!”

“So, I’m looking there too.”

“Can’t you see it, in your eyes? well, you don’t know But I saw.”

“So what did you see?”

This wasn’t the first time this has happened. Garan’s hallucination symptoms.

“It’s the Moon Myo tribe! It’s the spearmanship of the Moon Myo tribe! It matches the one I saw in my father’s study perfectly. I thought it was long, but I was convinced when I saw that human. That guy is a mimic Moonmyo!”

Garan was pointing at Zordyk.

“You wait here. I alone am enough!”

Garan folded his wings and descended quickly to the ground, before Maran had time to stop.

* * *

“Everyone got caught, Moonmyo. If you surrender meekly, I will spare your human helpers.”

Zordyk naturally denied Garan’s words.

“I am a pure human being.”

“I thought you would deny it. But did you know that I don’t know the technology you’re using? That is the spear technique used by the Moon Myo tribe. I would have reconstructed it as a degraded version to avoid getting caught, but my eyes can’t be fooled.”

“… … .”

Zordyk’s eyes narrowed.

If you find traces of the Yulmyo tribe in spearmanship, this side really has nothing to say. Besides, it wasn’t even the eyes that would listen to him even if he persuaded him.

There is only one option left.

It was just killing and destroying evidence.

After reading Zordyk’s will, Garan said with an eerie smile.

“My name is Garan, I will catch you and get my life back!”

Karan flew up without any preparation. A shower of steel feathers fell on his flapping wings.

Zordyk stepped out confidently, but the pressure of the iron plume gave him goose bumps.

‘This, this!’

It’s not just feathers that look like steel. In addition to having the same strength as real steel, it was coated with a sticky aura.

T-D-DD-DDING!

From noble mtl dot com

Zordyk puts all his energy into shedding steel feathers by playing with the stretching spear. It took quite a bit of physical strength and aura, but soon Zordyk laughed.

‘It’s worth holding on.’

You can’t beat the Sword Wings by holding on.

However, there was a corner that Zordyk believed.

Just Keter.

If we fight in cooperation with Keter, the odds of winning are high. If you take the lead and the archer Keter assists you, you will have nothing to fear.

It was a perfect plan indeed. Only from Zordyk’s point of view.

“I heard that among the Beasts, the Sword Wings are the strongest in aerial combat, is this feather really the secret?”

Rather than fighting, Keter was picking up the feathers of the sword-wings that had bounced off.

‘This, this guy?’

Zordic tried to tell Keter to help, but hurriedly rolled forward. It was because of Garan’s attack.

Garan didn’t just fling feathers in the air, he also came down like a glide and performed swordsmanship.

Chew!

There is a long cut on Zordic’s arm.

“Chap!”

Zordyk thrusts a spear at Garan’s back as he passes by. However, the blade of the spear only cut the air in vain.

Karan soared above the sky, where the window could not reach, fluttering feathers nonstop. Then, when the opportunity arises, he falls and performs swordsmanship.

Each time Garan fell, Zordyk inevitably received one more wound.

It wasn’t a fight anymore.

hunt.

It was also a hunt that felt the will to take them alive.

“Keter!”

“Keter ball!”

Luke and Karn, slow to grasp the situation, found Keter. It was a cry filled with questions about why they did not participate in the fight.

Keter shrugged and said.

“I don’t know.”

To Kether’s words, someone from heaven answered.

“It is a wise decision.”

Another Swordwing Tribe suddenly descended from the sky without a sound or sign. It was Garan’s younger brother, Maran, who was watching the situation from the air.

Arms crossed, Maran notified Keter.

“My name is Maran. He is a nobleman of the Empire who has permission to hunt the Seven Evils. you know? If you interfere with the Seven Evils’ hunt, you will turn the Empire into an enemy.”

“Two sword tribes… … !”

A vein formed in Karn’s neck.

Among the Hang people, it was the Geomik people who found and killed the Birang people the most. How can he maintain his reason when he has someone like Cheolcheon’s enemy in front of him?

Of course, a completely unrelated Kether was possible.

“Okay, get that guy right now. We really have no connection whatsoever.”

It was a good opportunity for Keter, no, Sephira.

Zordyk doesn’t have to be a Moon Myo tribe. They will be able to know that he is related to the Yulmyo tribe, and that the Vident family is also related.

Even the nobles of the Senate, the Vident family, could not survive without the emperor’s breath.

‘Isn’t this an opportunity to blow your nose without touching it?’

Luke also finished grasping the situation. The fact that Keter doesn’t come forward is related to the fact that there is some benefit to it.

But the question was, what was that ‘something’?

In my head, I know that not helping Zordyk is to my advantage. Even the sixth sense was extremely reluctant to fight the swordsmen.

But this anger welling up in my heart. What the hell is this anger toward the sword-wings I saw for the first time today?

Is it simply anger at those who betrayed their own people, or is it because of their beliefs as a knight who cannot tolerate injustice?

An incomprehensible rage made Luke’s blood boil.

“Jenjaang! Keter! Do you think I will die alone?!”

Zordyk, who managed to catch a breath from Garan’s attack, shouted at Keter. It was a threat to reveal Karn’s identity if he didn’t help.

Keter clicked her tongue.

‘Try it. Can you, who came to save the Birangs, sell them out?’

If Zordyk had been that determined, this situation would not have been created.

‘It’s over, boy. Take it quietly.’

It doesn’t matter if Zordyk, who was captured, exposes the Virangs. It’s enough to hide the Birang people in that gap.

Unlike Vident, who learned the spearmanship of the Wolmyo tribe and made a connection, Sephira did not leave any traces of the Birang tribe.

‘This is hopeful. You have to taste Leganon to know.’

Anyway, if you send the Virang people who are visible right away to the liqueur and hide them, you will never find them. After that, if you go there and think about it, it will be enough.

As Keter, the leader of the group, stood by, Maran nodded.

“You have a good eye. you may leave I won’t allow it.”

Maran turned his back.

There were countless steel feathers embedded in Zordyk’s exhausted body.

Holding his sword straight, Garan increased his altitude and speed in the air. It seemed that he was determined to put an end to Zordyk with this blow. Of course, it doesn’t kill. It only cuts off limbs and renders them incapacitated.

Even Zordyk, who had no place to retreat, prepared for the final blow, the lunar eclipse.

“Kwaaa!”

A strange thing happened.

Karn howled like a beast, then suddenly grew large and furry.

Karn, who instantly became a werewolf, leaped towards the back of the defenseless Maran.

Maran, who looked behind him, widened his eyes at the unusual sound.

“The Birangs!”

Maran blocked Karn’s claws by folding his wings.

“I will tear you guys apart from here and avenge my ancestors!”

Karn roars and declares vengeance-

Keter rubbed her forehead and murmured.

“That sh*t bastard… . I must marinate the body with salt and pepper… … .”

The reason why Keter didn’t bother fighting the swordsmen wasn’t because they were strong. because of their mobility.

If you want to kill them, you have to kill them for sure to prevent information from leaking out, but if these guys go up thousands of meters into the sky, even magic bullets won’t help.

When they run away and bring the Empire’s troops back, Keter gets a headache too.

‘I have to make sure they don’t feel like running away.’

If you show the magic bullet from the beginning, of course the two will run away. If you miss either one, it’s over. So, pretending to be moderately disadvantageous, fight, and at the crucial moment, kill your breath with magic bullets all at once.

Taking the remaining arrows from Luke, Keter fired them without hesitation.

Peeing.

For Garan, who is facing Zordyk.

Karn’s stupidity meant he had to fight for his life, but Keter wasn’t angry. Rather, he was smiling.

Fighting isn’t the best way, but if you have to fight, don’t avoid it.

survival of the fittest. survive and become stronger

Because this was his life.

Because it is the source of power.

Garan pushed aside the dying Zordic and threw a steel feather at Keter. To him, compared to Zordyk, Keter seemed insignificant.

Keter grinned and let go of the bowstring.
