It was only natural.
The masters of this war were, without question, Nine Dragon Castle and the Lion Clan.

“…This madman!”
The coach is now playing the role of a losing pitcher.

The master intends to use his own death to give Kuryongseong the ‘opportunity’ to admit defeat and retreat.
“Damn it!”

Or, while the two fought, should we ambush the leader and take a hostage?

I ran with all my might to find Mun Sang.
Fighting alongside my master would come after I persuaded him.
