Chapter 120 Choice-1
As soon as the Sword of Light vanished, Dang Yeo-eun spoke first, her expression urgent.
“Master Seonwoo, we must hurry. We need to pass through the checkpoint before Mak Woo-jeon does.”
Seon Woo-jin nodded immediately.
“That’s right. Let’s move.”
The two immediately dashed toward the burning village. Whether to rescue people or pursue the man known as the enemy of the Broad Sword, they had to reach the village either way.
Then, Dang Yeo-eun asked as she ran like the wind.
“Catching that man as quickly as possible is the way to pass through the gate, right? Earlier, Gwanggeom even called himself a fool for letting that man escape while trying to save the villagers.”
At her words, Seon Woo-jin let out a low growl.
“Hmm.”
Considering the nature of the Sword of Light she’d observed so far, and piecing together what she’d said earlier, Dang Yeo-eun’s words seemed undeniably correct.
But Seon Woo-jin couldn’t bring himself to agree with her. He could only mutter solemnly.
“I don’t know.”
At that, Dang Yeo-eun slowed her running pace and asked with a surprised expression.
“You wouldn’t be thinking of saving the villagers first, would you?”
Seon Woo-jin couldn’t bring himself to answer.
He hadn’t yet made up his mind about what to do.
Then, with a worried look, Dang Yeo-eun spoke again.
“Master Seonwoo, I understand your principles, but this time our very lives are at stake. Moreover, if we fail, it won’t just be us who die—it could mean handing over the secret manual of the Broad Sword to villains like Mak Woo-jeon. So this time, I think prioritizing the urgent matter is the right thing to do. Besides… those people in that village aren’t even real humans, are they?”
