Chapter 42

Behengeru

Sponsored chapter by Ryan Temples .

Thank you . And have a nice labor day weekend .

Behengeru .

The city that Sungmin wanted to go to . He became a mercenary at this city . He was 17 and he wasn’t even a third rate back then .

According to his original plan, he was going to train at the mountain for 2 years, but the plan was twisted . He trained for 3 years, and now he was 18 .

That wasn’t the only thing that was different . Past him was only a third rate . Now, he was already an apex master . Didn’t the man from Ereburisa say that, he had already passed the apex .

Everyone would say that looking at Sungmin's age . That he was a genius . It wasn’t false . Unlike WIjihoyun who was a complete genius, someone in their 10s who was a master would be called a genius .

But Sungmin .

He had a tendency to be harsh on himself . He felt it was less hurting ot always think about the worst instead of trying to cheer himself . It was basically inferiority like Wijihoyun said, but he have no intention of getting rid of that .

He knew that inferiority could be help to him . The 3 years that he spent on the mountain, the inferior made him move instead of falling in despair .

A master at 18 . That would be considered a genius . But in reality, Sungmin had 13 years of experience . It was experience that would help him reach the second rate easily .

That wasn't it . He had 2 grace techniques that he was bestowed upon . Like Wijihoyun said, they were techniques that guaranteed rising up at least to the apex .

Adding on to that was the No Class’s growth rate and the martial skeleton . Those increased the growth rates . And on top of that, he trained at the Mountain of Mush . He spent 3 years suffering like that .

He was a master after all that .

If he didn’t go into the mountain, how long would it have taken for him to become a master . If he didn’t receive the High Heavens or the Amethyst Cloud, he wouldn’t have even been able to look at the limit of the apex .

‘A common man… not a genius . ’

Sungmin bitterly smiled and descended . Even with the 3 years that he lived here, he didn’t have any attachment to this place . But he didn’t dislike it either . It was nice place . In the 3 years that he spent here, Sungmin had more devotion than his entire previous life .

Sungmin used Shadowless .

The speed was faster than anything he had done before . He had practiced it multiple times but everything was practiced under the weight penalty . But now was different . His body was light and free .

He was at the 5th level of Shadowless . Amethyst Cloud was level 6 and the HIgh Heavens was also 6 .

The inner strength affected Sungmin’s body . The strength that he used twirled in his body . It made his body faster and speedier . Sungmin descended in a second . He ran for a while, but his breathing was constant . Like his skills were past the apex, his inner strength increased to the point where it matched his techniques .

‘He would reach Behengeru in no time . ’

It would take about 4 days to get there . But if he used a speed technique, it wouldn’t even take 2 .

But there was no reason to hurry . He slowly started to walk in the direction . It was awkward trying to sense directions after staying in the mountain for so long, but it wouldn’t hard to fix that .

He organized his thoughts . The things that he had to do .

He wanted to stop Sogo’s death . There was only 6 years left until she entered the same dungeon with Wijihoyun and died . Sungmin knew that even though he was an apex master, Wijihoyun would be stronger than him no matter what .

It was obvious . Wijihoyun was already past the apex when she left Genavis . Wijihoyun wasn’t probably just playing around for 3 years . And for 6 years later .

The 6 years that she would spend and the 6 years that he would spend were completely different . 6 years of a snail walking wouldn’t move more than a year of a human walking .

He wondered if it was better to train more in the mountain, but he left the mountain first .

There were things he needed to get .

In half a year . The guild would get a mission to wipe out a black magician’s dungeon . It was artificial, but the magician was strong so the guild received a lot of harm . They would gain many spoils after succeeding, however .

There was one thing that he wanted . The barding Devilnark . It was an armor that a C rank mercenary received by coincidence . It was later classified as a A rank artifact, and the guild couldn’t even take it because the armor made a blood pact with the user .

A C ranked mercenary rose quickly to the point of apex with just the armor . He didn’t know what the armor did, but he had to get it first .

Luckily, Sungmin remember how to get it . The mercenary that gotten it always spoke about how his life changed when he got drunk . Sungmin listened carefully to him in the corner of the bar .

The opportunity that would change his life . Sungmin was waiting for that in his past life .

With his current skill, he would be able to get an S rank in any city’s guild . If a martial artist was past the apex, he would be rewarded an S rank .

An S rank would be able to choose his missions . He had funds coming in monthly, and there would be sanctions on him if he didn’t take any missions . S rank mercenary had that much worth .

After he became an S rank, he was going to enter other missions before taking the mission with the black magician’s dungeon . If it was possible, he wanted to get the other artifacts as well in there .

Sungmin started to get ready for sleep when it became dark . He quickly caught two rabbits and lit a fire . Sungmin breathed loudly as he placed the rabbits on top of the fire .

To be honest, Sungmin was waiting for this moment . He didn’t have the restriction of taste anymore . And smell as well . Sungmin swallowed as he felt the odor of the rabbits . How long was it since he felt this smell . The meat was roasted quickly . Sungmin immediately picked it up and took a bite .

It was delicious .

It was just meat with no seasoning, but it was delicious to the point that he was about to cr . It was nothing compared to the horrors of eating in the mountain . He then understood how happy eating was .

And he promised himself . Even if he went back in the mountain, he wouldn’t take the taste penalty ever again .

Sleep was comfortable with no nightmares . He did wake up a few times in his sleep like a habit, but he wasn’t afraid of sleeping back again . Like that, Sajangnim was able to rest for a long time without nightmares The headaches that he felt when he woke up wasn’t as painful as before . It was the result of sleeping well .

Sungmin woke up and lifted his body . He wanted to practice his spear techniques, but it was important to get ot Behengeru first .

The next day, he arrived . His figure wasn’t that clean after walking through the forest . Since he caught a few monsters on the way there and gotten spoils, he smelled with odor .

“Where did you come?”

“Genavis . ”

The officer asked and Sungmin answered nonchalantly . The officer wrinkled his face at that . Coming from Genavis meant something simple . He was an otherworlder .

“Go in . Don’t cause any trouble . ”

The officer reluctantly let him through . Sungmin nodded slightly and walked in . Behengeru . It was similar to what he had remembered from before . Sungmin felt a really , really slight feeling of gladness .

‘Where was the mercenary guild…’

Sungmin looked at his memories and walked towards the guild .

He planned to be a mercenary right away . He got slightly lost, but he started to have memories come back . Sungmin stayed here in his past life for the longest, so it wasn’t that hard to find his way around .

Just he didn’t have that many good memories . Sungmin’s life here wasn’t that happy . He had to do everything to survive here . To be honest, he didn’t want to remember them .

When he stood in front of the guild .

Sungmin thought of a small memory . Small… memory . Was it the senior mercenaries that bullied him in the guild . Those people’s memories . Sungmin laughed and took hold of the doorknob .

Trivial .
