Regular Chapter

“You, what’s your name?”

When he was walking with Heelong, Sungmin asked the apprentice mercenary that was following him

They were together for half a day, but Sungmin didn’t know the name or age of him . The only voice he heard really was the tired breathing .

“Yes? Me . . . me?”

The apprentice mercenary looked at Sungmin with surprise . His face was filled with sweat and dust . He could also see the wrinkles on the faces beyond that grime . It was the wrinkles that came with hardships than age .

“Who else could it be?”

Sungmin asked . Heelong looked at Sungmin, but didn’t say anything . Sungmin grumbled as the mercenary hesitated .

“It’s not a big secret to tell your name or anything . Why are you so hesitant?”

“Ah . . . I’m sorry . ”

“There’s nothing to be sorry . I’m not in your guild . ”

He could feel why the mercenary was so timid . Heelong or Renis was probably giving him trouble many times . Probably, not just them either, many of the guild members gave him trouble as well .

“So, what is your name?”

“It’s… Braus . ”

Braus answered . Sungmin clucked his tongue at the timid Braus . It was his past self that he was seeing .

“Braus . To be fair, I have no confidence to protect you from the orcs . ”

Braus whitened at that .

“Choose . Run away, or follow us . ”

Sungmin was telling the truth . Sungmin was barely between the first rate and second rate . He could pull himself out of the fight, but he had no confidence to help Braus .

‘Don’t think Heelong is going to help . ’

Heelong was just not listening . Sungmin thought that Heelong had a friendly and nice first impression, but that was just a first impression . It didn’t mean that Heelong was a friendly and nice person .

“Ru . . . n . ”

Braus hesitated . Sungmin said to choose, but he knew that Braus wouldn’t run . Of course, Sungmin wouldn’t try to catch him if he did .

But where would he go . He can’t live in the forest, so he would have to go back . However, Braus didn’t have enough power to go back safely . If he somehow survived, what would he say to the guild?

“I can’t . . . run . ”

Of course . He would get punished by the guild if he went back to Genavis . Why he asked Braus was,

“If then, don’t blame me if you die . ”

It was to make an excuse for himself . Braus said that he was going to follow . Sungmin gave him the choice . Even if the answer was obvious

They were lucky . There were no guards . Heelong, Sungmin, and Braus arrived at a pretty far away place . Sungmin pulled out the flare .

He had used it a few times before . When people were split apart, this does wonders . When people found something, when people used it to pull away monsters, when people used to ask for help . And .

When people were dying .

It was a simple reason . Get the body . Sungmin didn’t use it when he was dying . It was just too sudden . He went into a dungeon that wasn’t discovered, so there wouldn’t be anyone coming anyway though .

‘Hopefully no other mercenaries come . ’

There was probably no one that morally good . Maybe if it was a teammate, but mercenaries weren’t that morally good to help a person who let out a flare .

Smoke rose above .

“Do you think they will come here?”

Heelong asked . Sungmin turned his head towards Heelong as he saw the smoke .

“They will come . ”

Sungmin knew that orcs were going to come, but Heelong didn’t know orcs that well .

Orcs were very careful about their territory . If something occurred in their area, they will come . They were completely simple creatures, so they wouldn’t think that this was a trap .

‘If we had more people, we could have used a trap . ’

Three people can’t build a trap for orcs . It would take way too long, and if it became night, it would be way too dangerous .

Even if they did succeed, they would lose a lot of strength building a trap .

“Let’s hide . ”

Sungmin said . He then pulled out his interdimensional pocket .

“That…?”

Heelong said surprisingly . It was that face that he didn’t know Sungmin would have one himself .

“I had an opportunity . ”

Sungmin pulled out a huge water bottle . Then he poured in on the ground . The dirt became mud .

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going to mask my smell using dirt . ”

“Ahh, good idea . ”

Heelong complimented him . Sungmin rolled around the mud . Then Braus rolled, and then lastly, Heelong did as well .

“You seem to have a lot of experience for your age . ”

“ . . . I learned it from my master . ”

“Great master . ”

Heelong glanced once more at the interdimensional pocket . Sungmin remembered Heelong’s glance .

Braus’s body was shivering . He was terrified . Sungmin ignored that Braus and pulled out a spear from his pocket .

“You use a spear?”

“Yes . ”

“I see . ”

Heelong didn’t say anything . Sungmin breathed as he looked around . Braus was lying between Sungmin and Heelong, and that was intentional .

Sungmin didn’t trust Heelong .

Sungmin knew that glance of Heelong as he glanced at his pocket . Greed . It was plain greed . He couldn’t trust someone like that .

“Uck!”

A sound came .

About ten orcs were coming out towards the smoke . Sungmin checked the equipment of the orcs that were coming . They all looked strong and had weapons . They were young orcs .

‘It was about 50 orcs . If half are girls and young and old orcs… that’s still a lot of orcs . ’

Orcs were a male dominant society . The girl orcs didn’t fight and were not warriors .

The old ones were the same . Orcs usually held a large body for a long time, but then old age catches up to them quickly . Orcs don’t care about the old people and have no respect to them . They are considered useless and, if in an emergency, are used for food .

Orcs do eat other orcs as well .

‘A clean sweep is better… but leaving girls and the old ones still make it easier . ;

The number of orcs did bother him, but the plan was a success because he pulled the warriors out . The guild request was the subjugation of the orc village .

“Let’s go . ”

“Wait . ”

Heelong stopped him .

“How about we put the porter first?”

“ . . . yes?”

“Using the porter, we can distract them . Then we can attack them . ”

Heelong’s offer wasn’t a bad idea . If they sent Braus, orcs would definitely kill him . Their attention will be divided, and Sungmin and Heelong could easily defeat them .

Braus’s face whitened . His lips were shaking . He probably wanted to scream . . . but he couldn’t . Heelong’s hand was suddenly covering Braus’s mouth .

“ . . . ”

Sungmin stayed silent . He didn’t have any obligation to save Braus’s life . But he didn’t want to agree on a plan that would push Braus into death .

Because Sungmin was also a No Class .

“Is there a reason to?”

“This is better . ”

“I’ll go first . ”

Sungmin said . To that, Braus’s eyes widened and Heelong looked at Sungmin . Sungmin confirmed again with that glance . Heelong wasn’t a good natured guy .

“Do that then . ”

Heelong said . Sungmin ignored Braus’s attention and swallowed his breath . There were thirteen orcs .

Can he do it?

He had to .

Generosity, or was this pity . He didn’t really have any relationship with Braus . They were just No Classes . That was just the reason .

He had no obligation to save him .

He did say that, but if Braus was being attacked, Sungmin would have helped him .

He was that sort of person .

Sungmin ran forward . The Amethyst Cloud filled his body . The inner strength boiled inside of him and ran through his blood .

This was the truth . If Sungmin didn’t get the inner strength from Wijihoyun, he wouldn’t have tried to help Braus . That was it . If a situation didn’t harm him, if he could survive it, he could help with his goodwill .

It wasn’t also just goodwill . There was point to show his strength first .

When the orcs had turned around to Sungmin, Sungmin had already broke through an orc’s throat with a spear . The orc died without a scream . He pulled it quickly and swung it against an orc’s head . Bap! The orc’s head broke .

“Ack!”

“Ack!”

The orcs screamed . Sungmin took his posture . The orcs didn’t try to rush him . Even if they were stupid and dumb, they weren't dumb enough to rush a person who just came out the bush and killed two of their kind .

The orcs came forward . The front line was filled with young and brave orcs . They wrinkled their face and pointed their weapons threateningly . .

Sungmin held his spear carefully . The spear was long . Since that was the case, he could attack first with the length . That was the basics of spear techniques . How to use the length and how to keep it .

It was basic . Before the opponent comes close, kill them first .

That was Wijihoyun’s explanation . That was easy to say but not to do . Something easy for Wijihoyun is not easy for Sungmin . They were just different people .

“Ack!”

An orc ran forward . Sungmin widened his eyes . Sungmin strengthened his posture .

Chase Soul Technique .

Babap! A spear broke through the three orcs . He didn’t have enough strength . Or timing . It was the body’s weakness . He broke through 2 people’s chest, but not the third .

He intended for ‘that’ . An amateur spear technique . He was showing that to Heelong . He was showing the rank of the technique to him . It would leave an impression on him .

If he would use the impression or not . Sungmin didn’t care either way .

He used the Chase Soul . Speeding up his body, he pushed the spear with his left hand . Bck! The spear that was half way in broke through the orc’s body .

‘I killed five . Ones that are left…’

Eight . The bush behind Sungmin shook .

“I will help!”

Eun Heelong . That cheeky b*stard yelled with bravery .
