Apocalypse Reconquest Chapter 117 of the Return of the King

Episode 117

The vice-captain was a large man with a sharp and intimidating appearance.

Compared to him, the mercenary captain had a more cheerful, rough, and friendly impression.

Typical cheerful guy style.

It doesn’t look easy, but it doesn’t feel threatening either.

But Sehyuk knows too.

The fact that in this industry, mood is not a reliable measure of fighting power.

The mercenary leader is strong.

In terms of combat power rankings, he is the third strongest man after the innkeeper and the leader of the vigilante group.

If we only look at the group’s capabilities, it cannot keep up with Sorae Su-san’s quantity and the organizational power of the other side that is competing with Sorae Su-san for water resources.

That doesn’t matter though.

Sehyuk is the one who can even defeat the innkeeper.

“Hurry up and give us something that will make us much stronger. Surely you’re not lying.”

“That can’t be true.”

Sehyuk took out the secret of metamorphosis.

It is literally the epitome of legend.

“Please understand that I cannot show you everything.”

Untie the light string from the old scroll and slowly unroll the scroll.

As the rolled up scroll is unwound, a mysterious light spreads out from within it again.

Show only the front without unfolding the back.

Reaching out, he grabs the scroll and slowly reads the secret that Sehyuk is showing him.

Soon, the mercenary captain’s face hardens.

“oh my god.”

The mercenary captain looked at Sehyuk with a surprised expression.

“How do you know this?”

“It’s a trade secret.”

Then, Sehyuk rolled up his sleeves and showed the mercenary captain what was on his arm.

A glove that emits a sacred golden light, signifying that the legend has become a reality by becoming the Trinity.

The Samsin-gi, the Gloves of Punishment, wrap around Se-hyeok’s hands like scales and emit a radiant light.

As if it were a shame that the light was usually covered by Sehyuk’s suit, a sacredness that was stronger than usual spread out.

The mercenary captain’s face turned red with surprise at that sight.

“Is that the one you used when you fought the boss of Sorae Fisheries?”

“okay.”

This is my first time seeing it in person.

The mercenary captain must have heard the story of the duel between the Sorae Fisheries boss and Sehyuk, so he must have thought that he had something valuable, but he probably didn’t guess that it was this powerful.

It is indeed a legendary item.

Where can you go to get something like that?

“Do you want it?”

“of course.”

His gaze travels between Sehyuk’s gloves and belt.

The cloak is transparent as it is made from the hide of a ghost beast, but it seems that he can guess from the way his gaze passes over it.

The mercenary captain’s goal is to become stronger and protect those around him.

He had no choice but to react when the most powerful thing he had ever seen appeared before him.

“This is something we made. We already have the technology to create legendary items, as long as we have the materials.”

It’s a story that’s even more surprising because it’s not a lie.

But it is a plain fact.

Because there is a data box given by a spaceship, a divine being, in the dimensional rift.

“lie!”

Suspicious eyes. Sehyuk simply gave the answer he had thought of.

“Okay. Then believe me it’s a lie.”

As he said that, Sehyuk rolled up the legendary secret parchment and put it in his bosom.

“Then you will lose the opportunity to see this secret and reach a higher level, not to mention a higher level.”

“If someone has already brought two of these, why can’t they bring three or four? What do you think?”

Sehyuk’s gaze turned to the mercenary leader.

He looked like he was in agony.

Sehyuk, who was watching him, decided to help him one last time.

If you refuse even that, there is nothing more he can help you with.

Anyone who is suffering must eventually attain enlightenment on his own.

No matter how great people may feel pity for him and try to teach him, it is of no use if he does not accept it himself.

Even if the rope of fate flutters before your eyes, you cannot move forward unless you grab it yourself as you seek enlightenment.

If he refuses here too, it means that he is still blinded by delusion, his judgment is clouded, and he is not ready to attain enlightenment.

Sehyuk supported his chin with his fingers and placed his hands on his knees.

In that position, Sehyuk’s gaze is directed towards the mercenary captain who is slightly bowing his head.

The mercenary captain looks at Sehyuk with a start.

“There’s a saying I really like. One time might be the end of it, but the moment a second one appears, a third is destined.”

The original meaning of this saying is that human greed is endless, so from the second time on, one can desire a third and even a fourth time.

But after returning, Sehyuk preferred to turn those words around and think a little differently.

One time was a stroke of luck.

But more than twice is a skill.

If you can do it twice, you can do it three times or four times.

It has such power and potential.

“My goal is to create a world where countless people can live better lives.”

“I’ve changed a lot so far, so I can do more in the future. This time, I just want to change things so that you can live a better life.”

As he said that, Sehyuk began to explain the secrets of swordsmanship that he had discovered.

Complex stories that ordinary people would not understand even if they heard them flowed out of Sehyuk’s mouth.

But the person in front of Sehyuk is Muin.

People who share the goal of being able to move their bodies perfectly, without missing a single part.

Although the weapons they wield are different, they seem to want to live similar lives, developing their bodies and minds to pursue a higher realm than humans.

That’s why the mercenary captain, who heard Sehyuk’s enlightenment, was surprised and at the same time, drawn into his story.

The first time he was surprised, the second time he opened his mouth wide, and the third time he listened to Sehyuk’s enlightenment without moving an inch.

The moment when the story coming out of Sehyuk’s mouth stops.

The mercenary captain got up from the inn table where he was sitting and bowed to Sehyuk.

“I will take you as my teacher.”

“From today onwards, my subordinates and I will follow Sehyuk.”

Sehyuk smiled softly at him.

* * *

The mercenaries who decided to follow Sehyuk with their hearts.

After the mercenary leader’s sincere greeting and initiation ceremony for all mercenaries, as well as the voluntary head-banging event, were held.

The mercenary leader, Sehyuk, and the inn owner were sitting together on the third floor.

“You even made the mercenaries follow you. Huh. It seems I wasn’t wrong about you.”

The innkeeper briefly exclaims in admiration as he stands next to Sehyuk and looks at the mercenary leader who is sitting next to him at Sehyuk’s suggestion and waiting for orders.

“I appreciate your consideration.”

As he said that, Sehyuk drank the tea the innkeeper had given him.

After a delicious dinner, we gathered together to chat.

Having a pleasant chat.

“Haha. Just this morning, the mercenary group came and surrounded my and my colleagues’ beds while we were sleeping, and they just kept yelling, “Hey! Give us your money!”

“Haha. I was already a bit angry because the Sorae Fisheries people destroyed the furniture and building of the inn a few days ago, and then the mercenary group came and started causing trouble, which made me a bit angry. So I even thought about kicking them all out.”

“I’m really sorry about that… I hit my head once, so please forgive me.”

A scene that seems like an unpleasant conversation for some people.

Still, the atmosphere is pleasant.

Both Sehyuk and the innkeeper are cheerful people and like to tease others.

The mercenary leader keeps apologizing while sweating profusely.

Despite this, Sehyuk and the innkeeper’s teasing does not stop.

The light atmosphere passed like that for a moment.

The innkeeper turns his gaze to Sehyuk.

“Oh, right! While you were out working with the mercenaries, I sent a personal message to the outlaws. I’ll probably hear from them soon.”

“Good.”

Suwon’s king’s plan is progressing steadily.

Suwon’s King Plan.

The first is to bring the numerous and powerful forces of Suwon to Sehyuk’s side, which will make Sehyuk the king of Suwon.

The mercenary group will become Se-hyeok’s feet, and the vigilante group will become his hands.

‘Once you eat Suwon, things will be a little easier in the future.’

Saving Cha Ye-seong and Go Jeong-hwan’s family would also be easier if he became the king of Suwon.

And, one rather important goal was created.

A stronghold that was relatively village-sized.

There is a huge difference in the weight of being the leader of such survivors and the ruler of a huge city like Suwon.

That would be almost like being a king in the Middle Ages.

‘What he can do is no different from a king.’

More private soldiers. More resource extraction and production. More wealth that can be accumulated through taxes.

However, there is only one thing that Sehyuk wants from the title of King of Suwon.

That’s honor.

An incredible feat to be the leader of Suwon.

The reason is simple.

It is now time for the darkness to lift from Seoul.

Seoul is a densely populated city and a concentration of the wealthiest people.

A disaster of considerable difficulty has even arrived there.

That’s why, on average, there are more strong people than in other regions.

But, the darkness of Seoul is lifted.

Now, it is time for people in Seoul who have lost their light and cannot use machines to slowly become aware of the existence of the community and communicate with people outside.

What this means is simple.

This means that the Seoul Survivors’ Association and Seongsu-gyeol are crawling out of the darkness and starting to become active in earnest.

And, Sehyuk planned to secretly contact Seongsugyeol with the title of leader of this water source.

To extract information from his entourage.

‘I wish I could contact the vigilantes soon.’

It’s not time yet.

Now is the time to work hard to build up your foundation before then.

Sehyuk looked at the mercenary leader sitting next to him.

I already told you.

The mercenary group was to accept requests as usual, but to take down the remaining forces of Sorae Fisheries one by one.

On the surface, it seems like it was handed over to Sehyuk and his group, but there are only five of them.

You can’t manage all the so-called ‘businesses’.

Perhaps, there will be more and more traitors emerging one after another.

The mercenary group is to clean up and absorb the areas of those guys.

Make it seem like there is no relationship between the mercenary group and Se-hyeok, while at the same time making it seem like the mercenary group is going to eat Su-won.

So, one of the rooms was left to the mercenary group.

Sehyuk had something else to do while waiting.

“By the way, didn’t you say you had something to tell me? What was it?”

The innkeeper looks at Sehyuk with a playful smile of curiosity.

This time, the tea room interior is to raise the innkeeper’s favorability rating.

Although I still like him enough, this is more of a personal issue.

The innkeeper is a powerful wizard and an explorer of existing beings.

That is why he has a gift for powerful insight.

And before returning, the innkeeper was still looking for someone he liked.

A disciple to whom he can impart the enlightenment of insight he possesses.

‘Go Jeong-hwan also needs to gradually learn how to use more powerful techniques.’

In short, it is the beginning of preparations to acquire the talent to teach to Go Jeong-hwan.
