Chapter 52 (1/2)

Inside the personal office of the Highest Tier Knight Kihts Order’s HQ

”I’ve told youthe phone”

As if she was getting really frustrated, Yu-Rin pounded her chest while coo, as she was finishi+ng up her paperwork, Chae Young-Ho suddenly barged into her office

And as usual, he proceeded to advise and lecture her for the next fiveabout Kim Sae-Jin She already told this man yesterday that she could not reach hi leech he was tenaciously questioning her - going so far as to question whether she was lying to him or not

”Hu-uh Just how poorly do you take care of your personal connections that you le dinner?”

He ended up accepting her words as truth after seeing her frustrated expression that verged on tears But rather than going away, he began to take issues with her interpersonal skills instead

”What do you …”

Yu-Rin was about to fire back, when one thought entered her mind inexplicably

During the dinner, she identified Kim Sae-Jin as a prideful person, and that he also had a lot of pride in his Society, The Monster

But she refused hi the Society Since she had legitimate reasons for the refusal, they just chuckled and let it slide, but…

‘Could that be it?’

”I knew it See, after all Of all people, you just had to go and make a ht now… I repeatedly said this to you, didn’t I? You and your father just lack the ability to treat other people properly I should have…”

”I said, it was not like that!”

Yu-Rin sla her father with a shtly intimidated by her outburst, his body trembled imperceptibly

”Fuu You just wait and see”

Still fu, Yu-Rin pulled herto call hiht this instance”

Then, she called one number out of many, many saved numbers on her phone

‘Please pick up, please pick up, please pick up, please pick up Please’

The hand holding her the phone shook noticeably, and before she knew it, sweat drops were for on her forehead

And 40 seconds later

”…He’s not answering”

In the end, Kim Sae-Jin didn’t answer and all she could do was quietly put her phone down

Chae Young-Ho watched this scene with an expression showing conte his loud lamentations

”Ha-ah Didn’t I tell you this repeatedly before? If you continue to look down on people just because of your talents…”

”Why do you accuse in with!”

”I don’t have to be there to know You probably did so it yourself And that’s why you fail to even recognise that you did it”

”No, that’s not…”

Yu-Rin gritted her teeth

Whatever the case er contact Ki excuses and lowered her head Might as well, since if she kept on ht up her own justifications, this torture would only be prolonged for her instead

She decided to endure for now Endure, then she’d try to call Sae-Jin tomorrow

And around the same time

”Eu-hhur-urk!!”

Oh Dae-Soo fell on his butt froht of the shock wave that stopped just short of hitting his nose

The scene in front of his eyes were truly hellish The ground was split apart in a terrifyingchas steadily

Gulp

Oh Dae-Soo unconsciously sed down his saliva after witnessing this awesoined ould happen to him if he was struck by that shock wave… he didn’t even want to think about it Most likely, all his liht have been ripped asunder

SFX for so footsteps

And fro footsteps could be heard When he glanced back, the two fe a hasty retreat One of the, utterly not giving a damn whether it looked pathetic or not

And Oh Dae-Soo felt resentht then, the low frequency growl of the Orc resounded in his ears; Oh Dae-Soo’s heart stopped beating for a second

His entire face covered in perspiration, he slowly turned his gaze to take in the sight of the Orc standing atop the hill, looking down on hiap in their strength ruthlessly tra down on his body

‘…It’s ht’

And in thequite shocked at the phenomenon he had just created

The ‘Fierce Strike’, an active skill he earned after endlessly pounding Monsters to death with his mace When activated, each of the hits would contain three times more explosive power and a special shock ould occur as well

At first, he thought of it as one of those additional buff skills but hell, now that he used it, wasn’t this on the level of being just too damn deadly?!

This was the fruit of his hard labour for the past ten days, indeed

Currently, his Trait level was at 12 And all the equiph Quality or above Even though he was nouar, his combat prowess alone should equal that of a Great Orc Warrior

”Euh… euh!” (TL: No idea what this sound is supposed to be Left as is)

As Sae-Jin stood there adround finally e to stand

”Geuh, Fu-euh, euh, euh!!” (TL: wait, is this supposed to be how an Orc sounds? H the back of the escaping Knight as uy would take a few steps, then collapse on the ground He then forced hilance back at Sae-Jin, and tried hard to push forith his shaking legs It was a rather pitiful sight

However, the previous attack with the Fierce Strike was nothingto kill that fat Knight with a bulging stomach in the first place

SFX for the Orc’s roar

Sae-Jin let out a roar that ot shocked and fell down again, but he continued his desperate escape while crawling on all fours

‘…So, why did you try your luck withthe hunting party go if they moved to escape on their own volition, anyways

He put behind the pathetic appearance of Oh Dae-Soo and began searching for his next prey with his heavy footsteps

‘Ah My body’s aching all over the place’

After achieving the daily hunting quota, Sae-Jin returned to the cave

These past ten days, Sae-Jin in his Orc Forht His reasons were simple Maybe the conditions for his evolution were related with battles, somehow

But that didn’t mean he killed people, no He did break their weapons and armour and sometimes made them faint but always let the he could do about the injuries they got from these battles, but since no one lost a limb or stuff like that, he wasn’t too worried about it

‘But I ended up with a plethora of skills, instead’

Unfortunately, rather than the actual evolution, he ended up earning soe skills in droves

The Active Skill that boosted his strength momentarily, the Fierce Strike

The Passive Skill that hardened his body like metal, the Indomitable Hard Body

Etc, etc…
