I, the Weakest Traveler, Start by Taming the gods of the Old World.
Chapter 33: Stop that bull! II

"Fall back! Do not engage, I repeat, do not engage with the demigod!!!".

Merlin alerted the beast men who were charging after the fast moving bull.

She gently landed on the ground, spinning her broom as she walked forward. Her gaze was fixed on the bull.

The beast man all listened to her, obviously none of them wanted to face the wrath of a demigod.

Stepping back, Merlin began to walk forward, her steps slow and steady.

'The Trio demi god uhn? They are impossible to stop if they start running, quite the trouble. And it's trying to meet up with its other halfs. I haven't studied much on this god, but if it's this desperate to get to the others, then it's probably best we don't allow them to meet'.

Merlin sighed, a small smile on her face.

"Honestly, just when I had decided to not use combat magic for a while… Camelot really owes me a lot." Merlin stretched her broom to the sky.

Immediately, purple energy began to swirl around it, the sky responded to her gesture by also changing its color to her energy, lightning sparking as the sky turned dark.

"Come, defend your master once more, and engulf the world in your lighting. Thunderbird, fall from the heavens and take down my enemies!".

Skrrrr!

A loud scream echoed from the sky, and lightning formed, taking the shape of a fast huge bird made entirely out of lighting.

This bird was so huge, its shadow covered the whole ground, Merlin and the beast looked like mere ants compared to it.

The lightning bird, an ancient powerful beast surged forward, charging directly at the moving beast.

The beast in question didn't look back, even as the huge bird was chasing after it with magic dancing around its body.

The demi god kept focus… just ahead, it could see its other partner running towards it from a distance.

But this other partner had a chaser just like it does… Ha Joon was hot on the chase, grabbing hold of the Bulls tails while his own legs scraped against the ground.

'Damn, it's actually true, once these freaks start running, it's impossible to stop them… I've tried everything, but nothing is stopping this bull!!!'.

Ha Joon looked up ahead, and noticed another bull was charging towards him.

'Would you look at that, just as the system predicted. Which means I can't let these two love bird meat… what the hell is that?!'.

He was shocked when he later noticed the huge lightning bird chasing after the bull. Just beside the bird, was Merlin on her broom.

She had already spotted Ha Joon, and was also gesturing at him; she had warned him not to engage, the anger on her face was proof that she was pissed he didn't listen.

Ha Joon simply waved at her with a smile, before focusing back on the main task. The bulls were pulling close, and he needed to stop them from making contact, even though he didn't know what would happen if they did.

Ha Joon released his hold on the bull's tail and began to run, racing past the bull as if he was headed to the second bull Merlin was chasing.

Suddenly, once he had gotten some distance from the bull and was right in the middle of where the Bulls would have met.

He stopped.

Merlin was definitely worried at this point, what was the idiot doing standing in the middle of two demigods?

"If they can't be stopped, then I'll lead them to a different path." Ha Joon said out loud.

Taking in a deep breath, Ha Joon punched the ground, causing only the right side of the earth to implode; creating a different underground route for the bull he was chasing, while the one Merlin was chasing remained on the main path.

But for some reason, even as he did this, Merlin still had a worried look on her face, gesturing her hand back and forth, urging him to run away.

"Ha Joon!!! Go away from there!!!" Merlin screamed out.

The demi gods were getting closer. Ha Joon could feel the ground tumble beneath his feet as they approached, the power behind their charge growing stronger with each passing second.

There was no way they were going to fall for such a trick. Either one of them stopped advancing, waiting for the other to leap down, or, the other kept charging while the other demigod jumped to evade the tunnel.

Still, Ha Joon remained calm.

'Now, I just have to replace a way to make them fall into my trap… and there's only one way I can think of… it's a risk, but still worth it'.

Taking in another deep breath, he stretched both his hands to the different sides, a red magic circle showing.

"Burn them."

He uttered, a huge flow of flames pouring from the magic circle and speeding towards the demigods.

The flames were hot, anyone could tell, so hot Merlin and her lightning bird had to back off.

Ha Joon was right in the middle, his clothes burning from heat as he tried to push the demi-gods back with a high rush of fire power.

The ground could be seen melting as the flames surged; everything and anything in its path turned crisp, melting into lava.

Everything but the two charging bulls headed towards one another.

The flames couldn't harm them; the energy around their body was constantly absorbing the flames like it was nothing.

"Idiot! Get out of there!!! Those demigods can't be stopped when they start running?!".

Merlin yelled, she tried to move closer, but the flames were so enormous, if she set foot there, she knew she would be dead instantly.

The gods moved at top speed, splitting the flames in two in their unstoppable drive to meet one another.

But then, all of a sudden, the demigod was no longer blinded by the flames, instead, it found itself in the underground path Ha Joon had set for it before.

Ha Joon, still on the high ground, smiled when he noticed this, even Merlin was a bit shocked as the demigod disappeared.

All that was left was the demigod charging towards him at full speed. One he knew was the next big problem, the bull was already dangerously close.

Ha Joon immediately canceled his magic circle, getting ready to jump to the side.

He had already completed his mission, to make sure the other god entered the path he had created so he could trap it there while Merlin handled the other one.

But the moment Ha Joon leaped from the ground, the bull's body twisted like it was made of gas and it showed up behind Ha Joon, its horns slamming against Ha Joon's spine, which sent him flying and tumbling on the ground.
