Chapter 199 (1/2)

I sent a whisper to Zhen Sulong, who was playing the match. Now that Park Muyeol had woken up, there was no need to delay the time. Thus, I sent a whisper to him to fight as best as he could and the reply arrived at a rapid pace.

-Zhen Sulong: I’ve been waiting for this.

It was the end. The words were short, but there was a subtle heaviness to them. This was why I liked him. Even in the North Pole, Zhen Sulong always stood silently beside me, behind me, and sometimes in front of me. Once again, I felt that I had a really good brother.

Park Muyeol wondered, “I don’t think this is nothing? Mido is being carried.”

Mido was being carried on a stretcher. I heard the priests talking. There seemed to be a clinic room right next door. I shifted my gaze toward Park Muyeol in front of me. A faint red star spirit was surrounding his body. This was the red energy that symbolized a first-grade constellation. It soon shimmered like a haze and disappeared. I guess he really had a conversation.

“She was a bit hurt. It was poison. There is no need to worry anymore.”

“Umm, I told her to be careful.”

“The opponent was too bad. It is a bit like our side.”

“Our side...?”

Park Muyeol’s eyes widened slightly and I nodded. “Yes. The use of daggers is very natural. He had been fighting with daggers for a long time. In all likelihood, he is like us.”

“He is an interesting guy. Is he a growing bud?”

I declared, “That’s why I’m going to step on him.”

“Kuhahahaha! He is dead! He touched Choi Chuntaek’s granddaughter! Hahahaha!” Park Muyeol laughed vigorously with his head tilted back.

Hutton turned his head toward this place from where he had been watching the screen projection floating above the crystal ball. Then he looked back at the screen again like he wasn’t interested. Reinhardt and Mido were so injured that they were transferred to the clinic next to the waiting room. Therefore, the only ones left were Hutton and Mad Dog. I didn’t know where that damn clown went. Then Mad Dog walked out of a corner.

...I was just talking about this person. He turned his head toward me and frowned with a meaningful expression. This damn thing. Why was he looking at me like this?

I asked, “What are you looking at?”

“...Che.”

“You rude bastard.”

Mad Dog entered the corner with a shit-eating expression and sat down in a cross-legged manner. I didn’t know what I would meet him in a fight, but I hoped it was as soon as possible. I wanted to kick his face right now. Well, that and...

“Muyeol.”

“Huh?”

“What did you talk about with Hercules?”

“Huh? How do you know?”

“I told you. I’ve had conversations with them.”

“Ah, I see. That’s right.”

He sighed lightly and looked at the screen with a serious face. I shifted my gaze there and saw Zhen Sulong beating the protective film of light made by Kim Hyeonu using his fists wrapped in blue lightning. At first glance, it seemed that Zhen Sulong had the advantage, but as a ranker of South Korea, Kim Hyeonu’s counterattacks were quite challenging. His class was a combination of a priest and knight. He had a lot of health and recovery skills so it wasn’t easy for him to die.

Park Muyeol glanced at Hutton once and spoke in a quiet voice. “He and I are...”

Kim Jebok sat down with crossed legs and looked at the screen carefully while lost in many thoughts. He had been drinking a potion to heal the sword wound caused by that woman. However, Kim Jebok’s mood wasn’t good because the fight wasn’t as easy as he thought.

Then he had received a whisper when he arrived at the waiting room. It was from Supreme Fire Dragon. After hearing some bitter words about holding Kim Jebok responsible for ruining his work the other day, Kim Jebok didn’t get along with Supreme Fire Dragon. He opened the whisper window they had previously shared and contemplated the conversation again.

-Supreme Fire Dragon: Kim Jebok.

-Mad Dog: Yes.

-Supreme Fire Dragon: Change the operation.

-Mad Dog: Huh...?

-Supreme Fire Dragon: The old man is more powerful than I thought. You won’t be able to win against him alone. Therefore, I have decided to pull out of the surprise attack outside. The ongoing cigarettes business is already being sorted out by the children. So don’t rush to die. Just fight a bit before directly escaping the field.

“Crazy bastard. If you’re afraid then just say so. Why say so many words?”

Kim Jebok bit his lip and closed the conversation box. He was furious just thinking about it again. Obviously, the old man’s previous match was great, but he was still confident about winning. Kim Jebok lifted the dagger in his hand, Arachne’s Fang.

It was a very rare dagger that Yoon Seowon, the youngest son of the Holy Spirit Group, had bought for him. Originally, it was just a fang. Then Supreme Fire Dragon asked Yoo Seowon to hire a blacksmith user to make this and gave it to Kim Jebok. It was only to kill that damn old man.

“In any case, the rich are very generous. I just don’t understand why he is so close to Supreme Fire Dragon. What good is that bastard with a bad character? Tsk. Well, this gift is pretty good.”

The Arachne’s Fang blade shone with a purple light. The hilt had a spider-shaped ornament on it that Kim Jebok liked. He heard that this fang originally belonged to a giant spider monster. It was a huge and dangerous boss-class monster. He thought the performance was really great.

‘I want to take it into reality... it is really a waste.’

Kim Jebok clicked his tongue and looked at the old man with angry eyes again.

‘Why the hell does he use a mask?’

He licked a dagger that didn’t contain poison and vowed to get revenge. Supreme Fire Dragon asked him to deliberately lose the match, but he had no intention of doing so. There were still a lot of debts he had to pay back to that damn old man.

‘If he is Dark Wolf, then he is Dark Wolf. Let’s see what sound comes out in front of Arachne’s poison. I’m looking forward to it. I’m going to tear all his limbs off.’

-The match is over! Zhen Sulong will advance to the top four!

The third match didn’t deviate from expectations. Zhen Sulong triumphed like I had already foreseen. One of Raitra’s lethal moves, Lightning Dragon, hadn’t even come out so it was probably a natural result. Even so, Kim Hyeonu endured well. Indeed, Koreans had a persistent spirit. I thought he was a pretty boy with no guts, but he was actually quite manly.
