Episode 239
‘What kind of guy is he?’
Kinley Fusell’s nerves were on edge.
A strange man in his own barracks.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out who it was.
Tall and stocky physique.
He was trained so well that his muscles were clearly visible through the clothes he was wearing.
Although it was hard to see because of his thick black hair, he seemed to have quite an exotic appearance.
But what’s really strange isn’t the appearance.
‘When did you get here?’
How did this strange man get here?
The barracks where Kinley is located is the center of the pursuit force.
To reach this place, you must pass through thousands of paladins and priests surrounding the area.
‘And you’ve got my back perfectly.’
And that’s not all.
Not only did this man enter the barracks, he also completely fooled Kinley and followed him.
This is impossible.
At least, there was only one person Kinley knew who could do this.
Only the legendary Ethan O’Flaherty, known as the greatest assassin on the continent.
And Ethan O’Flaherty has been dead for over 60 years.
It is certain, as Kinley himself confirmed his death.
‘Who is he? Could he be Ethan’s disciple? No. I haven’t heard anything about that bastard having a disciple. Could he have been hiding it from everyone…?’
The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes.
At that time, the wrinkles on Kinley’s forehead gradually deepened.
The man opened his mouth.
“I asked if you were Kinley. Why aren’t you answering?” “It would be polite to introduce yourself before asking who the other person is.”
“Oh, right.”
The man scratched his head as if he had forgotten.
He said, smiling in embarrassment.
“Legendary warrior.”
“Um, what?”
“You are a legendary warrior.”
Kinley’s forehead furrowed.
A legendary warrior.
Are you talking about the warrior who is the material for the puppet?
Even so, what does the childish adjective ‘legendary’ mean?
“If you came here to make a joke like that, you’re in big trouble.” “No kidding. I’m a legendary warrior. Right, Rachel?” “That’s right! Our warrior is a legend!”
For some time now, a small fairy has been peeking out from behind the man’s back.
Kinley knew what it was.
A dedicated fairy accompanied by several warriors.
That man was truly a warrior.
‘I see… Now I understand.’
Only after confirming that he was truly a warrior did a man come to Kinley’s mind.
“You’re Choi Hyun-seok.” “Oh~ As expected, people have to become famous to see that.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled faintly.
As if Kinley was really happy that he recognized him.
Kinley felt a flash of heat at the audacity, but calmed himself down.
‘The last reported strength of Choi Hyun-seok was legendary. And he hasn’t been seen for half a year.’
Choi Hyun-seok is a warrior with an unusual history.
He grew up in the Demon King’s Army and became stronger dozens of times faster than others.
It took him less than two years to reach the level of Legend, so it’s hard to imagine how fast he’s growing.
To be honest, Kinley didn’t believe the story, but he couldn’t help but worry when he saw himself appearing before his eyes.
‘It’s a ridiculous story, but even if only half of the rumors are true… there’s no way to estimate how much stronger he’d become in the past half year.’
If rumors are true, Choi Hyun-seok may have already passed the threshold of legend.
At least mid-to-upper level among legendaries.
Perhaps he might have become so strong that he could rival the greatest warriors in the legend.
‘It’s not good to overestimate your enemy and be afraid, but it’s not bad to be cautious.’
Anyway, the bastard managed to get through the tight security and even got his tail completely caught.
This fact alone was reason enough to be cautious.
Because it was something that was absolutely impossible for a mediocre person.
“Okay, I told you my identity, so you should tell me yours too. Kinley Fusel. Is that right?” “Yes. I am Kinley Fusel.” “I heard that you are one of the top three legendaries. Is that true?”
Kinley chuckled.
Three fingers.
I’ve certainly heard stories of people evaluating themselves in that way.
“I’m not particularly interested in such childish rankings, but I’m confident that I won’t lose to anyone I fight.” “Fine. That’s enough.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded and suddenly disappeared from that spot.
“Die now.”
A voice heard right next to me.

Kinley instinctively raised his mace.
Kwaaaaang-!
A loud explosion and a strong impact shake the whole body.
But, one blow.
They only collided once, and the entire barracks were blown away.
Kinley straightened his posture and gripped his mace more tightly.
‘As expected… this is no ordinary bet.’
In the attack just now, Choi Hyun-seok did not use speculation.
A heterogeneous force, perhaps called mana.
I just used that power to attack, but it was so powerful.
Regardless of the nature of the power, the amount it possessed was enormous.
Just looking at the sheer quantity, I thought it might exceed my own magical power.
While she was analyzing the power.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had come closer without me noticing, smiled brightly.
“As expected of the legendary top three. They’re holding up better than I thought.” “Don’t make fun of me!”
A huge burst of light erupted from Kinley’s mace as he ran forward.
Jese Gyeoksegi (All Worlds Strike Technique) Type 1 – Splitting Head
A simple motion of swinging the mace down from above.
Choi Hyun-seok instinctively chose to evade rather than block.
Almost as soon as he steps back, the mace passes by his nose.
Kwaaaaaaaahh …
The mace hit the ground and there was a loud noise unlike anything before.
The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and everything around it was blown away by the shockwave.
In an instant, it became a scene of chaos, with not only the central barracks but also the soldiers who had gathered in the commotion being swept away.
“Wow, this is no joke.”
Choi Hyun-seok gave himself over to the wind and distanced himself.
Looking down at the ground, a huge crater appeared, as if a meteor had struck.
He shook his head with a weary expression.
“What kind of magic is that? It’s much more aggressive than magic.”
In general, the advantages of magic power, magical power, and divine power are clearly distinguished.
Magi is extremely aggressive.
Magic is versatility and balance.
Divine power is safety and resilience.
But that Kinley Fusel’s magical power was more aggressive than Magi’s.
It is something that goes beyond the limitations of the nature it basically has.
“That’s no ordinary troll. It’s definitely higher than Hyuna noona.”
Among the magic users that Choi Hyun-seok has seen, the most aggressive one is Park Hyun-ah.
She was so aggressive that she was incomparably overwhelming and invincible compared to anyone else.
But Kinley Fusell seemed to be more aggressive than Park Hyun-ah.
It’s fortunate that he was born as a human. If he had been born as a demon and wielded magic, he would have caused a huge accident.
“Well, at least it’s worth a try.”
Choi Hyun-seok lightly shook his arms and legs.
It was a brief collision, but it was enough to allow for some power analysis.
The enemy’s destructive power was high-level, but that was it.
It didn’t seem like it would be impossible to deal with.
No, I was confident that I wouldn’t be pushed back in a one-on-one match.
“You little rat! You’re so good at avoiding things!”
On the ground, Kinley shouted and grumbled.
Choi Hyun-seok was speechless.
“Is this old man losing his mind? I should avoid that ignorant thing. Is that right?”
“Shut up, you little rat!”
“That’s…!”
A vein appeared on Choi Hyun-seok’s forehead.
You call me a rat just because I barely avoided an attack once.
This is also a provocation, but it is bad to feel bad.
Choi Hyun-seok kicked the air with an evil smile.
“Let’s see how tough you are.”
Choi Hyun-seok arrived in front of Kinley in the blink of an eye.
A purple aura emanated from his body.
Nobilis
Type 4 – Authoritative Death
An extended fist.
Along with it, a vast amount of mana is released in a swirling manner.
Kinley opened his eyes wide and quickly kicked the ground.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa-!
Hundreds of meters of scorched earth are left along the path of the fist.
When Kinley saw that, cold sweat ran down his back.
‘This is unexpected…’
In terms of power alone, he was in no way inferior to himself.
No, to be honest, it felt like he was above me.
If I had tried to block it instead of avoiding it, I probably would have suffered great damage.
At that moment, a playful voice came into Kinley’s ear.
“Whenever that little rat does something, he runs away without looking back.” “That’s right! Hehe! Now, who’s the little rat? Huh? Who’s the little rat?” “Rachel. That’s not just any little rat! That’s a heartless, arrogant little rat!” “Adultery! That’s an adulterous little rat! Hehehe!”
The warrior and the dedicated fairy giggle.
Kinley’s face turned bright red in an instant as he heard their conversation.
Surprisingly, there are many people who are vulnerable to such childish and primitive attacks, and Kinley Fusell is one of them.
“I’ll kill you!”
Magic power gushed out from her body like crazy.
The momentum alone makes my skin tingle.
Choi Hyun-seok whistled lightly and turned his shoulder.
“Then shall we get into the main game?” “I’ll destroy it without leaving a trace!”
The moment Kinley was about to kick the ground with his mace.
Someone grabbed her arm.
“Kinley Fusel! Stop!” “Geling! What are you doing!?”
Another legendary gelding.
He shouted with a rather stern expression.
“What are you doing? I would rather ask you! Are you planning to kill all the knights and priests here?” “That’s right. Come to your senses and act calmly. Kinley.”
Kinley was urged to come with Asmund, who had come with Geling.
Kinley sighed and calmed down.
Only then did the surrounding scenery begin to come into view.
“Hey, save me…”
“Priest! Where is the priest!? There are wounded here!” “Form up! Don’t run!”
The Abigail Return itself.
Howling, running away, struggling for life.
A few commanders who had finally come to their senses tried to control the situation, but it was not enough.
Limbs were flying around haphazardly, and some people were seen picking up spilled intestines and then putting their heads down.
‘What did I do…’
They say that when whales fight, the shrimp’s back gets broken.
Even if you are a knight, if you get caught up in a fight like this without preparation, you will die a miserable death.
At least you have to be heroic to be able to hold out.
Kinley bit his lip tightly.
“I’m sorry. I got too excited.”
She calmed down and looked at her colleagues.
It’s true that he’s excited, but that doesn’t mean he can stop fighting.
Now that my colleagues are here, it’s time to corner him.
“That guy is Choi Hyun-seok. I don’t know where he’s been hiding, but he’s no ordinary guy. You have to be careful. If you’re not careful, you’ll be defeated in an instant.” “He’s already escaped.”
“what…?”
Kinley quickly looked around.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was clearly in front of me, couldn’t even see his nose.
As Gelling said, he ran away.
“This son of a bitch!”
“Leave him alone. Right now, we need to take care of this place.” “What are you talking about!? He’s dangerous! We need to kill him right here!”
As Kinley was about to get excited again, Geling grabbed her shoulder.
“You know that, don’t you? You can’t catch someone like that just by chasing them. You have to set up a solid trap and lure them in.” “What’s your evidence for that?” “Sarah Dunphy and Park Hyun-ah.”
Kinley shut his mouth tightly as two unforgettable names came out.
“Didn’t you learn something while chasing them? You can’t just blindly chase them. The damage will only increase here. What if the author is in league with Park Hyun-ah? While we’re away, all the troops here could die.”
“that…”
Kinley, who was about to say something, lowered his head.
Gelling was right.
Paladins and priests are valuable human resources.
They may have just made a fool of themselves in a sudden situation, but if they move on a properly prepared stage, they can be quite powerful.
We couldn’t risk that kind of power with an unsafe operation.
“First, let’s settle the situation and then retreat. I’ll report to His Holiness later. Choi Hyun-seok has reappeared.”
“i get it…”
Kinley sighed and washed his face dry.
For a while, it seemed wrong to fall into a comfortable sleep.
