Chapter 21

Subjugation Request

5th sponsored chapter by Thanh Kim . Still have a lot more left .

Like starting a car .

Vrrm! The Amethyst Cloud moved through his body . Sungmin opened his eyes wide and looked at Heelong’s movements . Heelong didn’t try to attack when Sungmin moved back .

Heelong’s actions came to be a waste, but there was no backing off . They had already killed Renis . I’m sorry . It was an accident . It was our fault . Even if they laid out excuses, there would be no convincing the guild .

Kill to shut the mouths of witnesses .

Heelong and Wangpe chose that . They wouldn’t be able to take the pocket, but they would be able to take the spoils they had collected .

Heelong thought of the pocket that Sungmin had . He didn’t know how good the magic was, but it would be good money if he sold it .

“Ack!”

Wangpe and Do Sangrang were fighting in the back . Depending on who wins, either Sungmin or Heelong was in a bad situation .

Heelong was nervous . Sungmin was turned around so he couldn’t see the fight, but Heelong was looking at the fight . Wangpe used throwing knives, and it was very bad in close fighting . It was too short to be swung around .

Throwing knives were also used once and were gone after being used . The true masters had ways of collecting the used knives and had ways of close fighting with them . Wangpe just wasn’t that skillful . He was also just a second rate .

Seeing that Wangpe did not kill Do Sangrang in the beginning with his throwing knives, it had basically shown the result . The only thing Wangpe could do was to hope that Heelong kill Sungmin quickly and come and help him .

‘Do Sangrang is in a better position . ’

Sungmin knew without even looking back . Seeing the throwing knife user missing his first knife called the end . With Wangpe's skill, it would just be stalling .

‘Nervousness . ’

Heelong’s face had that . Unlike the calm Sungmin, Heelong was nervous because he was seeing the fight . He wouldn’t be able to keep calm .

That makes him attack first .

“Hac!”

Heelong moved forwards . The distance was 7 steps . Heelong had to move 4 steps to get to Sungmin .

If Sungmin was fully grown, he would be able to fight outside of Heelong’s range . But his body wasn’t fully grown yet .

Still, the spear had an advantage that he could use .

He looked at Heelong’s stance . He predicted how he was going to attack . Heelong’s arm moved to the side and started to move . Sungmin moved his foot forward and shot his spear .

“Huck!

Heelong moved back awkwardly . Sungmin moved his hand’s position on the spear and moved his feet . Sch!!! Sungmin’s spear shot out multiple times .

Heelong could only dodge when he was moving backwards in the attacking position .

His spear techniques were trash according to Wijihoyun, but they still worked on similarly skilled foes .

Sungmin had better power than Heelong’s . Amethyst Cloud gave an explosion of inner strength, which would flow through the body, strengthening the body . His inner strength wasn’t that great before, but it became better with Wijihoyun’s help .

Kang! Heelong’s knife hit Sungmin’s spear . Heelong was attacking to try and stop moving backwards . Sungmin firmly held onto the spear . Pale faced, Heelong quickly ran forward to Sungmin . He moved his right arm and tried to stab him .

That moment .

Sungmin stabbed his spear forward and let go of it . The spear moved forward outside of Sungmin’s grasp . Heelong’s eyes widened . He didn’t think that Sungmin would let go of the spear in this time .

Heelong quickly twisted his body . To that, Sungmin pulled out a knife on his back .

He didn’t borrow the knife from Braus for no reason . Sungmin had a knife, but there was a reason that he couldn’t use it .

“Uck!”

Heelong’s stance tilted . Sungmin’s knife barely slicked Heelong’s arm . After that, Heelong tried to counter immediately .

“ . . . Ugh!”

Heelong’s face paled . His hand shook hard and suddenly let go of the knife .

“Y . . . you… what…”

“Poison . ”

Sungmin answered . He put a strong immobilizing poison on the knife on his back .

Sungmin walked towards Heelong .

“ . . . wa . . . it . . . please…”

“Shut up . ”

Sungmin swung the spear . The spear broke Heelong’s shoulder . Heelong screamed loudly . Sungmin did the same thing to Heelong’s shoulders and knees .

He wanted to kill him, but it was probably best to bring him to the guild . The guild would do whatever they wanted to him .

“Are you done?”

He heard a voice from his back . Do Sangrang was looking at Sungmin with a tired face . Wagpe was lying bloodily on the ground . He had thought he had not heard any fighting, Do Sangrang had beaten Wangpe to death .

“Yes . ”

“ . . . amazing . I ignored you because you were young… you seem stronger than me . ”

“You’re very modest . ”

Sungmin answered . Do Sangrang sighed . He looked at Renis’s body with sadness .

“ . . . what do we do about the orcs?”

“Let’s clean them up after we rest for a bit . ”

Sungmin answered .

“We should be able to clean them up with only two of us . The warriors are mostly dead . ”

“ . . . ok . Let’s do that . ”

He answered, but Do Sangrang was already scared of Sungmin . At the age of 14, who was that cold? Even if it was only for half a day, a companion that they had been talking to was dead and two had betrayed them .

“Heelong . I’m going to take him to the guild . ”

“ . . . yes . ”

“Renis and Wangpe . Let’s put the bodies in the pocket . Ah, and put the orcs near here . Braus . Stay here so Heelong doesn’t do anything stupid . ”

“Ah, yes? Ah… yes . ”

“You don’t have to be scared . I broke his joints, so he won’t be able to move at all even if the poison stops . ”

“Uh . . . uh…”

Just then, Heelong fell and wiggled on the ground as if to prove it . Do Sangrang had to ask .

“You . Are you really just 14?”

“Yes . ”

Sungmin answered with a casual tone .

*

The sun had almost gone down when they cleaned up the village . They would have burned the village, but the guild didn’t request that so they left it alone .

‘I don’t know how long it would last . ’

Sungmin rubbed his nose and thought . He did kill the orcs in the village, but the orcs nearby would move here knowing that the village orcs was gone . They reproduce fast . The village would be repopulated again .

Sungmin didn’t care too much . The guild, or the hunters, would take care of that .

“Let’s go . The sun is going down…”

Do Sangrang opened his mouth when he moved the corpses in the bag . Sungmin came towards Braus . Braus was standing on guard cautiously . Heelong was wiggling beside him .

“Disgusting . ”

Do Sangrang grumbled . He spat out looking at Heelong’s butt, reeking of odor .

Braus and the other apprentice mercenary carried Heelong, and they left the forest quickly . Then, Sungmin and Do Sangrang carried Heelong from the middle . It was to escape the forest quickly before night .

“Are you going to report as soon as we get there?”

They had gotten out of the forest . Do Sangrang nodded . He was tired because he hadn’t stopped to eat or rest, but there was no reason to not report .

The guild was near the north wall . The first floor was the restaurant, and the second floor had the office .

“You should eat something . ”

“I’ll eat when I get back to my inn . ”

Sungmin answered . He felt that Wijihoyun was waiting for him .

“ . . . Uh…”

When Do Sangrang was carrying Heelong up to the second floor, Braus went up to Sungmin . Looking at the other apprentice, he bowed his head to Sungmin .

“ . . . Thank you for everything . ”

“Why?”

Sungmin asked .

“If… it weren’t for you . I would have died to the orcs . Even if I did survive, I would have died to Heelong or Wangpe . ”

“Don’t be thankful to me . Just think that you were lucky . ”

Sungmin said . Then Sungmin wondered slightly .

What would happen if he gave the Genuine Heavens to Braus?

He didn’t really need it because of the Amethyst Cloud .

‘No . ’

Braus was already becoming 30 . Even if he did learn it… there would be no use . It was the matter for most No Classes . Unless they had a great opportunity, they wouldn’t be able to fix their terrible situation . Especially for older ones like Braus .

“Sungmin . ”

Do Sangrang moved down from the second floor . He didn’t know when they became so friendly, but Sangrang acted close to Sungmin .

“Go up . ”

“Yes? What is it?”

“That is…”

Do Sangrang had a strange expression .

“The president wants to see you . ”
