Damned 13th Regression – 206
by Jessie@AFNCC
<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 206>
The two people crossed the barbed wire and bowed their heads.
“Gitan son of the great wolf warrior Gicheon challenges you to a duel.”
“Disciple of Wolf Head Gitan. “Guardian God Ginran will accept the duel.”
The wolf tribe’s traditional duel etiquette goes back and forth.
Kaang!
The iron bars collided with each other and sparks flew.
As Gitan pushed the iron cage a squeak was heard and Ginran’s iron cage was pushed.
“Hoo?”
Yuan Xin was impressed.
The monster woman who was said to be exhausted from dealing with the two chieftains but who had been sitting up even when Jeokgon pushed her was being pushed back slightly.
The wolf muttered softly.
“Didn’t you hate training?”
“Who forced you to do it?”
“…I hate fighting. “Why not just run away?”
“That doesn’t make sense Master. Rather…”
Geek! Geek!
“There is no way I would lose in a power struggle right?”
Shinsu took a step forward.
Gitan’s elbow creaked and the iron blade gradually bent.
It was realized long ago that he was pushing with his skills in power distribution rather than his strength.
Kagagak!
In an instant three claw marks appeared on the breastplate.
Ginran said to Gitan who widened the distance.
“Master we are in the midst of a duel.”
“…Yes we are dueling.”

Gitan fiercely exposed his molars.
“Then fight with the intention of killing.”
“Thank you for the teachings.”
The two beasts collided again.
Yuanshin whistled as he watched the iron bars crossing at the speed of a flash of light.
“I didn’t know it was on the opposite side of the grassland. Black Wolf Gitan. “You’re strong right?”
“This is my body’s sworn brother. of course!”
Hu Tae-ro crossed his arms and chuckled.
The winner of the duel is Gitan.
Guardian God Ginran knelt down.
“Just as I thought the winner is Master.”
“Get out.”
Gitan growled like an animal.
“It’s not a duel if you don’t fight with the intention of killing.”
“That’s why I lost.”
Ginran shook his head.
“Master and me. I think it is a creation touched by the hand of the Heavenly God. “That feeling disappeared.”
Gitan grabbed her neck and lifted her up.
“You’re not suited for this kind of fight either. “I taught martial arts for no reason.”
Puzzle
Gitan broke Ginran’s horn.
The spiritual energy of the guardian spirit flowed into Gitan’s body and Ginran’s body became transparent.
You have lost the right to be in heaven.
“Go back. “To where your child is.”
“Master….”
Gitan threw her out of the clouds.
Myoshin shouted in an angry voice.
“what! “Why are you saving me?”
“You cat! How about one? All you have to do is win!”
As Hoshin widened his eyes Myoshin turned his gaze to the dragon.
It was a signal to say something.
The dragon god opened his mouth.
“It looks like they have no intention of saving me next time.”
Gitan said showing his molars.
“Next guy. “Come out.”
What just happened wasn’t a duel.
Neither Ginran nor Gitan had the desire to kill each other.

But the wolf’s eyes changed.
He longed for a proper struggle not a half-baked imitation.
“Kyaaaaa!”
A barbed wire was caught on the belly of Nurang the guardian spirit.
Three cuts were made the peritoneum was torn and the internal organs were caught in the blade.
“Ugh…”
A barbed wire was placed on the back of the neck of the staggering Shinsu.
A roar of victory shook the heavens.
This was a battlefield where victory had to be achieved.
‘Unless it’s Ginran.’
Wolves were able to make up for what they lacked in struggle.
* * *
Noah the strongest guardian spirit and his last opponent the Heavenly God also fell at the hands of the dragon and tiger.
Puzzle-
The Dragon God pulled out the Heavenly God’s horn embedded it in himself and distributed the Heavenly God’s fragments to his companions.
Colleagues who received the power of the Heavenly God gained greater magical powers than before and the Horn of the Heavenly God was so magical that the Dragon God’s horn and magical powers were passed down from generation to generation.
The dragon god spoke to his comrades who fought together.
“We achieved a great victory.”
They fought against the gods in heaven and won achieving timeless glory and eternal victory.
“Now we are the gods of the world.”
The sky of the divine beast was closed.
Incomparable in heaven. They made heaven theirs and came down to the underworld.
The people did not know why the guardian spirit disappeared.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A thunderstorm struck with a single slash of a sword and a mountain range collapsed with a single punch.
“I will become the god of my tribe.”
“I will make myself the first Sajosin and tell my feast days to 11 people.”
It was the appearance of the Four Josin Gods and the Twelve Red Characters designed by Yongsin to replace the belief in the Guardian Gods.
They were very busy after winning.
A jade bead was made from the horn of a guardian spirit defeated in heaven.
This was packaged as ‘jade containing the souls of ancestors’ and a shaman was created to pass on the spirit of the guardian spirit from generation to generation.
The tribe’s vision and five senses were redefined into 12 to utilize the magical reiki and the newly opened Dandanjeon and it was a troublesome task to make it possible for descendants without reiki to learn them.
Then one day the dragon god called the chieftains together.
“I will hunt down the living ones.”
Yongshin poured hot liquor down his throat and raised his scimitar.
“They may take revenge on our descendants. Or someone may appear who wonders why the guardian spirit disappeared.”
The conclusion of Yongsin is Sakchojegeun (削草除根).
They thoroughly hunted down the divine beasts that had run away from the dragon tribe’s territory to remote places.
Having absorbed the fragments of the Heavenly God they no longer needed the spiritual energy of the Divine Beasts but the Dragon God did not want to leave behind any regrets.
Gitan followed quietly but was filled with skepticism.
‘If it were Yuryeo I would have stopped him.’
My wife kept reminding me of her.
This was the wife who raised Ginran and her child as if they were her own.
She couldn’t kill a child even on the battlefield so she stayed up all night worrying from the day the young beasts disappeared.
‘He prepared a breakfast table early in the morning to thank the children for raising him… and then disappeared without a trace. ‘Do you know anything?’
I couldn’t answer.
“I found it.”
A group of people who hid their home using magical powers was discovered in a cave.
There were more than ten guardian spirits and among them was ‘Ginran’.
“I’m scared ma’am.”
“Mom what should I do now?”
“It’s okay.”
Ginran who lost her horn smiled weakly while embracing her children.
“Supreme warrior gods who conquered the heavens. “This lackadaisical and arrogant beast offers his apology.”
Once the most majestic beast knelt down and bowed to the chieftains.
“Your victory shines in the heavens and is acknowledged by all things. “Please with the magnanimity of a winner show three pennies of mercy to these needy beasts.”
Myoshin giggled and winked.
“It’s the prey you missed so you have to deal with it.”
“….”
Gitan came out in front of Ginran.
She still spoke with her head down.
“O god Gitan. You deserve my head. But please save the children.”
The children’s crying grew louder.
The sound of crying was annoying.
The great warrior gods who conquered the heavens surrounded the children who were no more than a few years old and brought the mother to her knees.
‘This cannot happen.’
It shouldn’t have happened.
Gitan calmly closed his eyes.
“Ginran you called your fight with me a duel.”
“That’s right.”
“With duels comes responsibility.”
“…please.”
She slowly raised her head.
“Please take my life Master.”
Not even a single drop of blood fell.
Just like a smiling face. Her head fell lightly to the ground.
The children burst into tears.
The baby who had just been weaned tried hard to crawl to its mother whose head had fallen.
The moment the blade sliced through her throat she let out a small cry.
‘Please. knight errant.’
visor!
The bullet crossed the barbed wire.
Hu Tae-ro who was standing behind shouted lowly.
“The winner of the duel is the son of Gicheon the great warrior of the wolf clan. Gitan. This is not a heavenly god. “I inform my spiritual ancestors.”
thud! thud! thud!
Some of the chieftains stamped their feet as per tradition.
With the end of the duel Gitan felt.
That his struggle is over.
“Well done.”
Yongshin raised the scimitar.
“If it’s difficult to handle the rest I’ll do it for you.”
Kang─
Gitan hung the barbed wire on the dragon god’s scimitar.
The chiefs’ bodies stiffened.
Blocking a warrior’s weapon which meant his life was a sign of a duel and a sign of rebellion.
The Yongshin looked down at the Nangshin with emotionless eyes.
“What are you doing? “Nangsin Gitan.”
“The struggle is over. Isn’t it a bit lame to even mess with children? Yahuhon the dragon god.”
“It seems there is a difference of opinion.”
Yongshin explained regretfully.
“Our eternal victory will be completed only when they are destroyed. “It is not simply a matter of power struggle dividing the top and bottom or organizing the hierarchy.”
“It seems there is a difference of opinion.”
The wolf glared at the dragon with wild eyes.
“The struggle is over. We won. There is no such thing as eternal victory in this world. “It only exists in your head.”
Geek!
The force exerted on the barbed wire and scimitar became increasingly stronger.
“Is it necessary to do this? Gitan.”
“The mother of these children owes something.”
“Ginlan? “What did she do for you?”
When Yongshin asked curiously Gitan gave a simple answer.
“…when you get tired from training. “He always gave me a glass of water in a gourd.”
“so?”
“What kind of harmony did you do? “It was as cool as ice water.”
The Dragon God’s eyes became as cold as ice.
“Is that the end?”
Gitan shook his head.
“They even floated willow leaves in a bucket of water. “He was a bright kid.”
Kaang!
As Yongshin swung the scimitar Gitan widened the gap.
Yahuhon chanted setting the scimitar in a straight line.
“Because you cannot forget your old master you are more like a dog than a wolf.”
“…Yahoo horn. You are not a dragon you are a hunting cat. “I would rather live like a dog than live like a wild cat like you.”
Yahoohorn’s beard twitched.
He was so angry that he even showed his teeth which was rare for him.
“In that case die like a dog Gi-tan.”
The dragon’s sword that splits the sky was blocked by the wolf’s iron sword that splits Mount Tai.
Surprisingly the victory was not easy.
Originally he was a dragon god that no one thought could compete with him.
In the past Gitan himself also admitted it.
However Gitan surprisingly held out against the Dragon God who had inherited the Heavenly God’s magical powers.
A chieftain exclaimed.
“Kitan’s spirit of cooperation has reached the sky.”
Like a thief he fills the gap between nothingness with guile.
I had no choice but to think that way.
However even though the skills were equal the situation was not equal.
Phew!
The tip of the Scimitar sword grazed Gitan’s left eye.
One eye to protect one child.
Kwasik!
I lost an arm protecting a child.
When there was no winner Yongshin tried to end the battle by killing the child.
The tiger gritted his teeth.
“It really sucks.”
It was not a right sight for anyone to see.
It was a fight where morality was not maintained.
Hosin (虎神) Hu Tae-ro picked up the bakdo.
“Stop it you damn thing.”
Fierce killing power is directed to the dragon god.
In the eyes of the Dragon God images of self-defense attacking in thousands of ways were drawn.
In reality there were possibilities of an attack that would materialize if Yongshin did not retreat.
The scimitar which was swinging like a storm gradually stopped.
Ho-shin trudged over with his sword and stood next to Gyeon-shin.
“Why do you have to go to such lengths to accuse these bastards of a crime?”
Myoshin raised his voice sharply.
“Self-defense! “Are you going to fight us?”
“Yeah fuck. “If you’re dissatisfied attack me.”
Clutter-clutter–
An unusual force emanated from the hand holding the bakdo.
“Normally when we fight I win. “I will kill them all.”
The figure of self-defense showing fighting spirit seemed even bigger than it originally was.
Myoshin swallowed his saliva and ran behind the Dragon God.
“What are you all doing? “I need to punish those idiots….”
“Then I’m this way.”
Yuanxin Wushan scratched his head and came out from the group of chieftains.
“Wow. don’t cry “Baby.”
Wonsin stroked the heads of the trembling children.
Gitan asked stopping the bleeding in his left eye.
“…unexpected.”
“what.”
“I didn’t know that even you my sworn brother would take risks.”
“I guess it’s just me.”
One by one the chieftains gathered next to Gitan.
Wooshin Five Bangs Yangshin Takjun and finally Seochan Sochan.
The heavenly warriors were suddenly divided into two groups.
Yongshin looked at the faces of the chieftains standing next to Gitan.
“It was my mistake.”
Yahoo Horn won the scimitar.
Unless it is a heavenly world if two groups of gods fight each other the lower world cannot withstand it.
If you think about it the duel with Gitan was a hasty decision that wasn’t like you.
‘I was conceited because I ended the New World War in just one year.’
He mistakenly thought that things in the world were going the way he thought.
Thanks to this I was unable to understand the feelings of my colleagues and pushed forward with the work resulting in divisions.
‘But it can’t end like this.’
Yongshin looked at the children with his characteristic emotionless eyes.
“If you want to live break off your own horn. “Do not come out into the world without losing your spiritual power or lifespan.”
The dragon god spoke coldly to the trembling children.
“Let’s leave at least an opportunity for our descendants to reach the same level as us. And Gitan….”
Yongshin glared at Gitan.
“Don’t forget. No matter how proud you are you killed those children’s mother. “We exterminated all of those children’s parents and compatriots.”
“….”
“We have changed the rules of heaven. Shinsoo is a beast that follows heaven’s will. There will be a child learning ‘revenge’ from our sky. “Those children will not forget their resentment even after 100 years.”
Yahoo Horn has turned his back.
“In the future our descendants will resent our sloppy cleanup.”
The Dragon God said so and disappeared with the chieftains.
Gitan smiled bitterly.
‘Maybe so.’
It was quite common for people to risk their honor to avenge their father’s death or duel due to family grudges.
It would be naive to believe that these children are not the only ones who do this.
“Great godfather.”
But one child grabbed the hem of his clothes.
He was Ginran’s child raised by Gitan.
The child spoke clearly while wiping away the traces of tears.
“My brothers and I will never forget how our godfather risked his life to protect us.”
“…You can forget it.”
Rather I wanted you to forget everything.
The image of himself killing his mother in front of the children.
But the child said.
“No I won’t forget. Mother said. “What is done through injustice smells like filth even after a hundred years but what is done with a righteous heart is fragrant even after a thousand years.”
“Cheonchu of righteous energy….”
A righteous heart lasts a thousand years.
It was a practice and it was what he said when he was dragging Ginran around.
“okay. “I really hope so.”
The child raised his gun awkwardly but politely.
“I will tell you this so that it will not be forgotten even after a thousand years.”
In this way those who followed Yongsin went north and formed the Northern Dynasty and Nangsin Gitan changed the name of the tribe to Gyeonjok and went south with Hoshin to form the Southern Dynasty.
* * *
“Well that’s the story.”
Ji-an a twenty-one-generation self-defense god sipped his drink and shook out the gombangdae with one hand.
Ki Soo-ah thought to herself.
‘Then Gonghyuk and Solbaragi were descendants of those guardian spirits?’
Hoshin continued speaking while looking at Gisooah’s troubled expression.
“At this point you know what a hybrid is right?”
“…They were guardian spirits with broken horns.”
“okay. Since then the condition of the divine beasts scattered across each tribe has not improved. Most of the tribes were trapped and only produced offspring or there were tribes that were completely cut off. Phew~”
The smoke from the gombangdae fired by the self-defense agent lingered in the room.
“But in the ancestral succession ceremony a guardian spirit was always needed. “It was rare for someone to learn all the twelve seasons created by the Sajo gods but it definitely came out once every hundred or two hundred years.”
Ki Soo-ah insinuatingly asked Ho-shin’s subtle tone.
“Is something wrong?”
“There was a problem 100 years ago. It was my first time trying to inherit my ancestors and the successor lost to a hybrid. The successor who learned all twelve seasons lost to a prisoner who had been imprisoned all his life. “It was unexpected.”
Hosin’s expression hardened as he remembered that time.
“The problem grew bigger and bigger. The hybrid ‘Solguru’ who killed the heir of the dragon tribe retrieved the horn of the guardian spirit and escaped the tribe. There they attacked other tribes and rescued their trapped compatriots. So the position of the dog people became very difficult.”
Ki Su-ah’s movements became as stiff as stone.
“What does it mean to be in trouble?”
“The hybrid ‘Solguru’ was borrowed from the canine tribe. To help the Dragon Clan succeed to their ancestors. “They sent me one of the two hybrids.”
Ki Soo-ah was speechless.
The clues about the hybrid rebellion that I had only vaguely heard about were being revealed.
Why did the Dog family have to take responsibility?
And who is the other hybrid that was not sent?
Gonghyeok the guardian spirit of the nine generations said this.
‘I am the successor of Gio the guardian spirit beast of the Dog clan and a thousand-year-old ally…’
Ki Su-ah calmed down and asked Ho-shin.
“What is the name of the other one?…”
“hmm. Hybrid Geo. It was a monster. What kind of entity is a Guardian God? “I was able to understand the details.”
Origin of Gonghyuk and Solbaragi.
Ki Soo-ah unaware of the fact that it was a mistake thought that he was getting closer to Gong-hyeok’s true identity in his own way.
