Episode 210
Amin Galak, archduke of the Galak family.
He had probably never been hit like this since he was born.
If there were people around him who beat him up to this extent, he wouldn’t have lived like an idiot until he grew up.
“How does it feel to be hit like this?”
A very strange question.
However, Amin has been taught to answer any question immediately.
If there was a delay in responding, I immediately resorted to violence.
“article… … good night!”
It doesn’t matter what the answer is.
Silence is the worst thing. This is how I brainwashed Amin.
“I got hit, but it’s good? “Don’t you have to filter and then answer?”
“ah… … no! The word came out wrong! hate!”
“okay. “Then, once this barrier is lifted, what should you do, Grand Duke?”
“Keep silence! “I will never reveal what happened with you!”
“That’s a great answer. And you should. “Today, I learned something about the Archduke’s weakness.”
“Well, that is!”
“Rest assured. I won’t reveal it either. “Do you believe it?”
Whoa whoa!
“Again, you are late in answering.”
“Believe!”
After turning Amin into Pavlov’s dog, I collected a lot of his personal information.
Because I have to give an immediate answer, secrets of this kind often get caught.
Some of them are quite fatal and shameful to Amin.
“But, I cannot trust you, Grand Duke. So, we plan to put two safety measures in place.”
“safety device?”
“yes. Until the demon attack tomorrow, my wife will stay close to the Grand Duke. “To prevent anyone from revealing what happened today.”
“Even in the middle of the night?”
“yes.”
“Are you saying we should be alone in one room?”
“of course. “Wherever you go, my wife will always keep an eye on you.”
For a moment, Amin’s lips seemed to twitch.
Crazy guy.
It’s clear that he thinks of this as a reward.
“What is the other one?”
“Please stay alone in the annex until the demons attack tomorrow.”
“That is something that requires your father’s approval! “Because it will change my personal security.”
“I believe you can persuade me to that extent.”
“i get it!”
With this, the design is almost complete.
The condition for clearing this quest is for me and Shin Joo-ah to kill the leader of the demons directly.
The demons’ highest priority target will be the family’s heir, Amin Galak, so a significant portion of their forces will be heading to Amin’s villa, and all I have to do is find the leader around there.
Currently, the mission I have been assigned is outside of my position.
But now the mercenary leader has no choice but to reconsider my mission.
Because my wife is being held captive by the world’s bastard.
Srurr.
The item’s time limit passed, and the barrier disappeared.
As instructed, Amin’s behavior is very discreet.
“Shinju, please take care of me.”
“I didn’t know you would sell your wife like this.”
“Whenever I have a hard time, I think of 500,000 gold.”
“What should we do then?”
I immediately handed Amin over to Shin Joo-ah.
The expression on the face of the bastard who was freed from me suddenly brightens.
Not knowing that a new hell awaits.
* * *
Amin was moved to a separate building, and there was a change in the arrangement of the mercenaries.
Everyone grumbles at the sudden move.
“What kind of fuss is this because of that bastard?”
“Everyone stop complaining! “There’s a guy who lost his wife, so why would moving a barracks tent be such a big deal?”
Of course, the guy who lost his wife refers to me.
The story immediately began to circulate that Shin Ju-ah was with Amin in his annex.
Thanks to this, I was given a new position by the mercenary leader.
I was given the role of guard near the annex where Amin was staying, and everyone looked at me with pity.
“He’s a good guy on the inside.”
“You mean me?”
“Then, who else here is a good guy on the inside besides you?”
“Oh, that’s a misunderstanding. “Do you really think the Archduke would make fun of a mercenary?”

“and! This guy is really funny! “Is that what you’re going to do after sending your wife to a bastard?”
“I believe that nothing will happen.”
“If I had lost my wife, I would have killed the mercenary and all, and split that bastard’s skull first!”
The excited guy next to me right now is Jerome, a B-class mercenary.
The mercenary leader was considerate of me as a rookie and assigned an experienced gunner to me.
Of course, this consideration also stems from pity for losing his wife.
“Please stop talking about my wife here and tell me about the devil. “I am a newcomer from the countryside, so I am ignorant in this area.”
“Devil?”
“yes. “Does reality really exist?”
“Not only are you good on the inside, but you are also empty-headed.”
“I hear things like that a lot.”
“Of course, in our generation, no one has experienced the true nature of the Demon King. “Because it disappeared 600 years ago.”
“Did something happen 600 years ago?”
Jerome looks puzzled at my question.
The look in their eyes is as if they are asking because they really don’t know.
“Do you really not know the story of the 64 heroes who went on an adventure to catch the Demon King?”
“This is my first time hearing it.”
“600 years ago, the heroes succeeded in temporarily sealing the Demon King after a bloody battle. However, because it was literally a temporary seal, it was unknown when the Demon King would reveal it to the world again.”
“It appears that the Demon King has awakened again after 600 years.”
“okay. And the ancestor of this Galjak family was one of the 64 heroes who sealed the Demon King at the time.”
“Then it couldn’t be… … .”
“Unlike your empty head, your head is spinning a bit, isn’t it? But it’s not certain yet. “There are not enough cases to quickly determine whether the Demon King is truly taking revenge on their descendants.”
Still, at this point, it’s worth jumping to conclusions.
Top’s story usually goes like this.
“Then are the demons strong?”
“It varies greatly. “The strong ones require several S-class mercenaries to rush in to catch them, and on the other hand, I can catch several of the weak ones by myself.”
“okay.”
“But there is no magic that an E-class like you can catch alone. So, when the battle begins, stay close to me.”
“yes. But how do you distinguish between the weak and the strong?”
“Even among demons, the strongest ones have a very high affinity with monsters. “I usually ride it too.”
“So, if you are a demon that can ride a wyvern, what level is it?”
“Wyvern? hey! There’s no need to think about that. “If a guy of that level shows up, it’s best for him to just run away.”
The guy who flew in on a wyvern at the beginning of the 31st floor.
It will definitely be strong.
Although I used the blessings bestowed by the monarch and killed him in one blow.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I learned a lot of new things.”
“What is gratitude? But are you really okay? “You don’t know what’s going on inside the annex right now!”
“Nothing will happen.”
If there are any signs of something really happening, Shin Joo-ah will split Amin’s skull.
“It feels so good!”
Since there was nothing special to do after the barracks tent setup was completed, I planned to do some training.
Since the wisdom buff is in effect, the effectiveness of training should be very high.
Perhaps it may be possible to break through the wall that was blocked by the achievement of the martial arts soul sword.
“Hey, newbie. “You want to go outside?”
“yes. “I want to do some training.”
“training? Then let me give you special help. “At the level of an E-class mercenary, training alone is of little help.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. “The mercenary leader didn’t attach me to you for nothing.”
Jerome grabbed his sword and followed me out.
It’s already a moonlit night.
It was a time when everyone was locked in the tent barracks except for the mercenaries who were on guard.
‘These are perfect conditions for quiet training.’
Even in my daily life when I wasn’t wielding a sword, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so there were a lot of things to check.
I personally recreated the scenes that unfolded in my imagination.
The wisdom buff is fully activated, and the gap between imagination and reality begins to close.
Errors are corrected immediately, and my movements become more sophisticated little by little.
I thought that if I could practice under these conditions every day, it wouldn’t be a dream to reach the level that Master reached.
‘Is this the greatest talent of all time that the master said?’
It’s so deceptive.
I wish the journey to the 31st floor was much longer. So much so that I want to think about it.
“Is it pretty good?”
This was Jerome’s impression as he watched my swordsmanship in silence.
“Is that so?”
“okay. The movements make me feel like I’m a beginner. But there were still a few clumsy scenes.”
“Where exactly?”
“For example, the movement of stabbing the sword at the end. The management of mana there was so unnatural. When mana is steadily loaded onto the sword, the area around the blade becomes half air and half mana. “Like this.”
Jerome demonstrated stabbing himself with a sword.
I don’t know about half the air and half the mana, but I think he’s about half as good as Seo Jun-ho.
“The easiest way to improve your skills is sparring. “Would you like to try something light?”
“With the real sword?”
“of course. Sparring should always be done as if it were a real match, so your skills will improve quickly. Attack first. “Let’s give up Sehab.”
Jerome looked at me and gestured with a relaxed expression.
For me, it’s an opportunity I’m thankful for.
I can test my achievements.
‘Over there.’
I fixed my gaze on the tip of the sword Jerome was holding.
I plan to infuse mana by docking the tip of Elysion’s sword at exactly one point.
Of course it won’t be easy.
Because we have to accurately predict the trajectory of Jerome and the sword.
“going!”
Jerome said he would give up Sehap, but he plans to end it right away with Ilhap.
“Come and see!”
I approached Jerome, stepping on cotton wool.
Perhaps embarrassed by my light movements, Jerome hesitates for a moment and unconsciously takes a back step.
Still, seeing the tip of the sword stably pointed at me made me think that I had not become a B-class mercenary for nothing.
‘Half mana, half air… … .’
I was stabbed by Elysion.
Tick!
A kiss between the tip of the sword and the tip of the sword.
The one-point docking happened very naturally, and I pumped mana in an instant.
Since the goal is not to inflict damage, you don’t need much.
“Huh up!!”
Jerome lost sight of the sword in his hand for a moment.
Chaeae!!
It reproduced exactly what I intended.
I didn’t accomplish anything great, but I felt like I had complete control over my opponent’s and my movements.
If this kind of domination can last for dozens or hundreds of times without stopping at one level, that will be the path to the state of Master.
I think it would be nice to feel a little satisfied.
“Your hand slipped!”
Jerome scratches his head with an embarrassed expression.
“I thought so.”
“Then shall we start again?”
“great. “Are you giving up Sehab again this time?”
“of course. Then come in!”
“yes. going!”
The goal this time is control of Sehap.
I plan to produce the same scene in the last third.
To be considered successful, you must perfectly control every detail of your and your opponent’s movements and even the space. I moved forward again, stepping on the cotton pad.
