Apocalypse Reconquest Chapter 116 of the Return of the King

Episode 116

As we attack as instructed, we narrowly miss the monster’s attack, which requires about 20 people to stick together and barely withstand.

They had no choice but to admit it.

This newbie is truly one step ahead of them.

The fact is that the upstarts are actually mercenary warriors.

“Wow, that’s amazing! I might be able to survive soon!”

Eventually, the tiger sage was cornered, and Cheon, who had been fluttering and escaping the warriors’ hands, was left with no choice but to stick to the wall.

The moment Sehyuk had been waiting for had arrived.

And Sehyuk gave them another order.

“Okay! Now just burn that cloth!”

At that moment.

An unexpected variable has arisen.

The blazing fist of the captain reached out towards the sky.

However, the cloth fluttered and brushed the captain’s hand.

“Oh, oh, oh!”

No matter how hard the captain tried to grab it, the cloth fluttered and evaded him, seemingly within reach.

And Sehyuk felt that things had gone wrong as he watched the scene.

‘Damn, I should have used the fire blast attack.’

If he had just exploded with heat instead of swinging his fist full of flames, he would have caught him for sure.

‘I guess the deputy commander is also unmanned, so he probably tried to deal with it in the most familiar way.’

Sehyuk could also understand that feeling.

But the consequences of that choice threaten the lives of others.

Kwaaaaahhhhh!!!

Taking advantage of the gap, the tiger sage swung his dark-energy-filled claws long.

“Roll to the left!”

Kkudang tang tang!

Since they were skilled warriors, they were able to avoid the attack by listening to Sehyuk’s words.

But to avoid the attack just now, I flew away.

Warriors lying on the floor.

If things continued like this, the attack would fail.

‘Is it something I have to do in the end?’

Sehyuk could do it too.

However, since I brought her here, I just wanted to make her comfortable without having to do anything myself.

Sehyuk sighed.

Then he pulled out his silver sword and raised it.

Step, step.

In the quiet room, Sehyuk’s footsteps echo.

Phew!

The beast-like sage, noticing Sehyuk’s approach, swung his long claws at Sehyuk, tearing through the air.

The tiger’s claws dance, drawing blade-like, sparkling lines in the air.

The attack was so fast that the afterimage looked like a series of still lines.

Attacks from the claws, woven together like a spider web, that trap the opponent.

And Sehyuk crossed the line created by those elaborate claws.

Cleverly and accurately.

Just like special forces.

The death line created by the claws.

The brief gap created when those lines disappear and reappear.

Putting his body between them, Sehyuk slowly approached the beast that was a sage.

And he stretches out his sword.

It is said that a great swordsman can even cut down a fallen leaf.

Keeping that feeling alive, Sehyuk’s sword slowly heads towards the fluttering cloth.

See you later!

The sword slips and fails to cut through the cloth.

A sound like scratching the surface of a rough cloth.

At the same time, it was a screaming, ear-piercing sound.

‘Oh my, even with the Silver Light skill, it still can’t cut that.’

A cloth dyed in an ominous black light flutters.

Sehyuk fixed his gaze on the sky.

‘Then, I guess I need to put in more magic power.’

The sparkling gray-white magical power surrounding the sword begins to shine a more brilliant and sharp silver-white.

And Sehyuk’s mind is focused on the sword.

The tip of the sword shines sharply.

And then, a brilliant silver line, incomparable to the line the tiger had made, was drawn horizontally.

One-shot.

In that day’s work, the cloth was cut horizontally, just as it had been from the beginning.

And then, the atmosphere began to change.

The sky begins to glow with a dangerous crimson light.

‘Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!’

‘Save me…!!! Kill me…!!’

Unintelligible screams, audible curses.

With that sound, the cloth disappears in an instant as if rotting away.

thud!

And the beast-like body of the sage falls to the ground.

The body soon turns into a sparkling light and scatters.

The warrior party was speechless as they watched the flower petal-like process of disappearance.

Meanwhile, Sehyuk was not watching the sight of the fallen sage he had defeated being destroyed.

His gaze was fixed on the center of the room.

Click!

An altar placed in the center of the room.

There was a sound of a lock being unlocked on a box that was lying there.

Sehyuk walked over and opened the box.

A pure white light bursts out from within the box.

‘bingo.’

The contents inside were definitely what Sehyuk was looking for.

No, it was more than that.

Sehyuk turned his head towards the warriors.

“Ugh. Ugh.”

The warriors were lying on the ground, collapsed.

Everyone looked as if they had lost their minds, as if they were possessed by a ghost.

I think it looks like that because the tension has completely eased.

“What are you so dumbfounded about? Come and look at this.”

“Huh? Oh? Got it.”

The deputy commander walked unsteadily toward Sehyuk.

To that captain, Sehyuk held out a pair of white leather gloves that shone with clear light.

“Look at this item carefully. Doesn’t this seem like it could be worth the price of two strongholds?”

“Oh, that’s definitely true.”

Interest appeared on the warriors’ faces as they saw the leather gloves.

That would be the case, since these were very special, Unique+ grade gloves.

‘Team 2’s leader had exactly 2 of them.’

When it comes to special items, the item itself is given a unique name.

So naturally, it became famous as someone’s signature item.

The special grade arm armor currently held by the mercenary vice-captain, the ‘Golden Feather’, is an item with the special ability to heal allies and move them at will.

Before the return, after the death of the mercenary vice-captain, the mercenary captain took it with him and it became his representative item.

‘Before the vice-captain’s death, the public’s assessment of the mercenary captain was that he was someone who had no interest in running the mercenary group and only pursued his own strength, to the point of seeming immature.’

After the mercenary vice-captain died, the mercenary captain took up the vice-captain’s legacy and fulfilled the work he had done for him, becoming a true master of mercenary arts.

The golden feather was considered to be the item that best suited him.

It has to be to that extent that it can be called special.

As it is such an item, warriors cannot help but be interested in it.

It goes without saying that having two bases called a business is worth it.

If it doesn’t interfere with your ability to make a living, a special item can be worth more than that.

The deputy leader of Mercenary Team 2 smiles broadly.

“Now that we’ve gotten our reward, let’s go back quickly!”

The deputy team leader dragged Se-hyeok away. Se-hyeok shook his head.

It would be sad if it ended here.

Actually, the real reward for this dungeon is not these gloves.

Didn’t I clearly say that?

I will give these mercenaries more power.

Gloves are a precious item, but they can only make one person stronger.

The real reward from this dungeon is something much more than that.

“There’s one more thing. The thing that will ultimately make you stronger.”

Sehyuk showed me another item that was deep inside the box.

And as soon as they saw that, the warriors’ faces were filled with surprise, admiration, and desire.

A rolled brown parchment with a gold border that emits an intense white light.

A magnificent string of light, seemingly out of the ordinary at first glance, ties together and holds the parchment in place.

‘I think the name was [The Art of Metamorphosis].’

This is the legendary secret that the tiger has been training for.

As it is an object that records legends and passes them down to future generations, its level is also given to it as a legend.

It is said that if you recite this secret recipe exactly three times, the recipe will break apart and the training method that will allow you to have the body of an immortal and the enlightenment of an immortal will flow into your body.

Although it is a disposable item, the true value of this item is that the first person to attain enlightenment can preach the law to others.

In short, it means that you can teach others and make them stronger.

‘You wanted power, right? If you have this, you can easily attract a mercenary group.’

In fact, the one who obtained this emergency before the return was none other than the mercenary captain.

After losing his vice-captain, he wandered aimlessly and jumped into this area with the resolve to die, which led him to find the secret and attain enlightenment.

‘In this life, perhaps, since I was the vice-captain, I wouldn’t have had to wander around.’

Something that has changed in a positive direction and has become unattainable.

Sehyuk is going to set things right again.

‘I saved the vice-captain’s life, and I gave him something he couldn’t get in this life, so I guess I can ask him to hand over the bundle. It’s much earlier than when I got it.’

To the mercenary captain, the vice-captain is a precious family member.

If the mercenary captain before the return had seen the current scene, he would have been grateful to Sehyuk just for saving his vice-captain.

‘It’s okay if you don’t listen because I’ll be the leader of these guys and I’ll beat you like a dog if you don’t listen.’

With that resolve in his heart to commit violence.

“I will take this separately and deliver it to you personally.”

Sehyuk rolled up the parchment and put it in his bosom.

The warriors look envious.

“You wouldn’t think of stealing it, would you? Haha. After all, I did for you. If you had the slightest conscience as a human being.”

“I didn’t mean to do that!”

The commander and soldiers blushed in embarrassment.

Sehyuk didn’t even try to scratch it seriously.

I’m just joking.

Just looking at the faces of these warriors, I can feel that they are purely envious.

The deputy commander coughed loudly, scratched the back of his head, and approached Sehyuk.

“It was a great fight. I apologize for my attitude so far.”

Accordingly, the other warriors also bow their heads to Sehyuk.

“I’m so embarrassed that I ignored you just because you had only just arrived in Suwon. If it weren’t for Sehyuk, I wouldn’t have survived.”

“I apologize for being rude.”

Huge, blushing figures who don’t know what to do with embarrassment.

Sehyuk saw that and snickered.

“You know, that’s enough. Just take that to heart and don’t do it again. I’ve seen many people before you who had to live their whole lives with guilt, so I’ll forgive you generously.”

Sehyuk teasing the warriors.

The warriors pursed their lips in discontent, but offered no rebuttal.

After finishing up the work, return to the inn.

The inn had an unexpected guest.

“Oh! It’s later than I thought?”

The inn, which had been destroyed by Sorae Fisheries and the mercenary group, had been neatly restored.

And, in the center of the tavern on the first floor of the neatly restored inn, a large man is looking at the door, drinking, and laughing heartily.

Sehyuk knew whose face it was.

He was the leader of a mercenary corps.

“You brought me something that will satisfy me, right?”

It was natural.

Sehyuk was planning to completely suck the soul out of the mercenary captain from now on.
