I, the Weakest Traveler, Start by Taming the gods of the Old World.
Chapter 51 - 51: Ambush

The carriage jolted over the rough terrain as the group made their way towards the nearest farmland.

Yawwwwnn~

Ha Joon placed his hand under his jaw as he looked outside the window.

'Damn, I don't know if I should feel excited or just be mad. Ever since this freaking quest, everything has been so damn serious, work here, work there…'

He covered his mouth to hide his tears, 'Even Yukio won't play house with her master. I'm this close to yanking my meat out and just stroking it'.

"Uhm, Ha Joon, you never exactly told me where we are going. Are we visiting more merchants?" Merlin, sitting opposite him, asked.

With a side eye, he looked at Merlin, "You're right, I didn't tell you, must have skipped my mind. Thing is, I need to check up on what the farmers are doing, too much neglect and you're simply feeding the corrupt minded".

"I see… must be where we made our mistake." Merlin looked to the floor, clearly feeling a bit down.

Ha Joon could tell; it wasn't that she wasn't happy about the changes occuring, it was more of the fact she felt she had been useless and was only then realizing it.

Looking back towards the outside window, he spoke, "You don't have to worry too much about it, there's a saying, two heads are better than one, and …"

Silence took over.

Both Mordred and Merlin looked at him, curious to know what the saying was.

'Shit! I actually forgot the saying! It's been so long since I heard it, I thought it would just flow out of my mouth!!! Dammit, school is failing so badly right now… eh?'.

Ha Joon's eyes accidently slipped down towards Merlin's exposed thick thighs. She had crossed her legs which made it even sexier.

He gulped down his saliva, his dick slowly rising under his trousers. Oh to touch her thighs right now, was what he thought to himself as he stared.

"Ha Joon?" Merlin called out, snapping him out of it.

"Sorry, what was I saying?" He asked.

"Typical, you've burnt your brain, what you get for being an idiot." Mordred chimed in.

"Hey! You know what, I've had enough of your yapping! And for the record, I don't like your condescending tone, you can shut up or I'll make you run behind this carriage!" Ha Joon shouted.

"Now you're threatening me? So much for being a noble man." Mordred spoke back.

"You're sounding a lot more cocky these days, what? Have you forgotten the things I can do to you? Or perhaps I should remind you." Ha Joon nimbled his fingers with a lust smile as he moved closer.

This caught Mordred off guard, she shifted back a bit, her cheeks red, but she couldn't do much or she would risk Merlin seeing her in a different light.

So instead she simply sat there, her eyes opened as she silently prayed that he doesn't do anything. Her thighs cramped together, her body reacting; it felt like he had begun to touch her all over even though he hadn't.

But that was still his plan. Even though it started as a joke, he was horny, very horny, and right now, an opportunity presented itself.

Ha Joon was locked in, his eyes fixed on the piece and he was about to touch her boobs. The excited look on Merlin's face as she watched from the sidelines was evident.

But then, something shattered the window of the carriage.

As Ha Joon turned to investigate the noise behind him, a sudden sharp pain shot through his shoulder.

A black arrow had pierced him before he could react.

'Ehh…?'

A surge of adrenaline flooded his system, and before he could comprehend what was happening, a violent force yanked him out of the carriage.

The door was torn clean off its hinges, and Ha Joon's body slammed into the ground, dragging him across the rough road into the shadows on the opposite side.

"Ha Joon!!!" Merlin's shock was evident.

She immediately leaped out of the moving carriage, wind lifting her body as she charged forward, chasing after him.

"Under attack?! Freaking assholes!" Mordred yelled, doing the exact same thing.

She pulled out her blade before landing on the ground and running down the hill, taking large leaps that covered a huge amount of distance.

When Merlin and Mordred finally saw the people who had taken Ha Joon, they were immediately hitched with fear.

These people were dressed in all black, with a cloak covering their entire body. About twenty in numbers, and they all blocked the path leading to Ha Joon.

Not only that, even Ha Joon's body had disappeared, not a sight of him anywhere.

'A cult?!' Merlin whispered to herself. Her concern wasn't there though as she quickly dismissed it; she needed to find Ha Joon, she was in the air, so she had an advantage there.

Just when she wanted to increase her speed and search the far front-

Whooosh!

One of the members suddenly appeared in front of her, an evil smile on their face as they placed their hand on Merlin's shoulder.

"Where do you think you're going, beautiful?" The figure uttered in mid air.

Merlin was startled.

She wanted to raise her arm to attack, but the individual turned into dust and rushed past Merlin, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground.

Merlin managed to land on the ground safely, using her magic, but before she could even find her balance, she was already surrounded by more of them.

Mordred on the other hand, placed her blade on her shoulder while working calmly towards the ground.

"The Rebellious Knight." the individual in front of the group who had blocked Mordred's path uttered sinisterly.

Looking closely, Mordred was able to see the tattoos drawn on their skin, something about them didn't seem…human.

"So what are you bastards supposed to be? Seeing as you know who I am, you must be stupid to still try and attack me, death wish perhaps? Or maybe you're just stupid enough to not tell what a real threat it." She continued walking towards them.

"Oh no, we would never dream of battling a knight of the round table, our business is with the boy, you need not worry." The individual replied.

"That boy happens to be someone I'm protecting. It would be wise to hand him over, I have little patience for your kind..."

She swung her blade before pointing it at them, "Hand him over, and I will let you leave with one of your limbs intact".

"I'm sorry, but mother needs him, that is simply something…we can't do for you."

One by one, each cloaked individual began to pull out their double blades, the dark aura their body increasing as they stood together.

Mordred scoffed, "Bunch of amateurs, allow me to escort you to the afterlife".
