episode_0103
by adminA quiet inn. Everyone held their breath, alternately watching Jeong Yu-shin and the rough-looking men.
“Hehehe…Kyahahaha!!!”
The bearded man snickered and finally burst into maniacal laughter. Then his subordinates started laughing too.
“Pfft…Hahahaha!!!”
“Koo…Pfft! Exorcism ritual, you say!!! Isn’t this guy completely a crazy bastard?!”
Jeong Yu-shin slowly brushed his hair back.
“Come outside.”
The bearded man gave a disgusting smile.
“A bastard like a complete lunatic…Alright!”
Jeong Yu-shin went out into the street.
The men swaggered and followed.
Hot scorching sun. Jeong Yu-shin and the men faced off in the middle of the street.
Then, not only the guests at the inn but also people on the street started peeking one by one.
“A fight broke out!!!”
“Oh dear. Even if the festival day is near, how many times has this happened already?”
“Because of guys like that, I can’t do business and am going to die before this festival even comes.”
Complaints and grumbling burst out from the crowd.
Soon, a considerable number of people gathered around Jeong Yu-shin and the men. One of them pointed at the men.
“Huh?!”
“What’s wrong?”
“Aren’t those guys the Pighead Mercenary Group?”
“Are they famous?”
“Not that much. They’re a mercenary group that only those who know, know. I heard they were active in the Western Empire, but how did they get all the way here…?”
“They came a long way from far away. Did they come along the pilgrim’s road?”
Jeong Yu-shin heard the people’s whispers with one ear and let them pass. He wasn’t really curious about where these guys rolled in from.
The bearded man smiled crookedly.
“Innkeeper, are you scared?”
“…”
“It’s not too late now. What we want is money and women. Let’s end this quietly.”
Jeong Yu-shin ignored the bearded man’s words and looked around.
In the middle of the street.
It was already bustling with people who came out to watch the fight. He heard that many people gathered because of the festival, and indeed, there were disgustingly many.
Jeong Yu-shin turned his head again and looked at the men.
Brand new newbies. And possessed by demons.
There was only one cure.
“You filthy evil spirit. Come out of that body.”
At Jeong Yu-shin’s declaration, numerous question marks floated above the heads of the spectators.
“What in the world is that mixed-blood Barbaroi talking about?”
“How would I know? How can we understand him when he’s a virgin at that age?”
The bearded man snickered.
“I’ll beat you just enough not to kill you. Guys.”
Four men rushed forward.
Jeong Yu-shin stood still and watched the charging men intently.
“He’s so scared he can’t even move! Idiotic bastard! Die!!!”
A man shouted and swung his fist.
The fist aimed for Jeong Yu-shin’s jaw.
Hwooooong!!!
The man smiled. He was a guy with a disagreeably handsome face. A bastard he didn’t like from the start. His heart pounded as he imagined the guy with his jaw shattered, rolling on the street floor.
Right at the moment the man’s fist was about to directly hit Jeong Yu-shin’s jaw.
Jeong Yu-shin turned his jaw.
Wheeeek.
The fist passed by without even grazing his jaw.
And.
Jeong Yu-shin clenched his fist and took a step.
Lightly at first.
Holy One-Two.
Pak! Pak!!!
A jab and a straight punch imbued with divinity shattered the man’s nasal bone and teeth.
Broken teeth flew through the air.
“Kuaaaaak!!!”
The man grabbed his face and screamed.
Jeong Yu-shin nodded inwardly. Good. The evil spirit was trying to escape.
He kicked the waist of the guy whose face was smashed with a middle kick and sent him flying.
The next guy rushed forward and swung his fist.
Jeong Yu-shin quickly pulled his body back.
Sway.
The fist brushed past his nose. He smelled faint alcohol.
Absurd.
‘He drinks alcohol before fighting?’
The next guy seemed to be truly and utterly possessed by a demon.
Bending his body slightly with a ducking motion, he took a forward step and stuck close to the man.
“Wh-What?!”
Lightning-fast speed. The man couldn’t even react and flailed his hands.
Holy Liver Punch.
Bbok!!!
The fist broke the ribs and embedded itself in the man’s liver.
Ppudeudeudeuk!!!
The sensation of the ribs crushing and shattering was felt beyond the fist.
“Heok!!!”
The man immediately fell to his knees. His eyes were bloodshot, unable to breathe properly. He knew it well.
It was the notorious liver blow that drained strength from the body with just a graze. Since it hit directly, this guy was finished.
Jeong Yu-shin grabbed the man by the hair.
Even in the Bible, it said. If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you than for your whole body to go into hell.
“You can’t drink alcohol anymore. You bastard. I saved you. Your suffering liver. From your body.”
“Kkeoeok…!”
Foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes back, the man.
Suddenly.
A straight punch aimed at his cheek.
It was the next guy.
He let go of the man’s hair and raised his hand.
Tak!
Jeong Yu-shin’s hand caught the man’s fist.
The man’s eyes widened as much as they could.
“What…?”
The man whined, trying to pull his fist away. But he couldn’t move.
Jeong Yu-shin put strength into his grip.
Ppadeudeudeuk.
“Kkeuuuuuaaaaaaaak!!!!”
As the bones in his clenched fist were crushed, the man screamed at the top of his lungs.
“Look at the scream. He’s shouting in agony. It’s clear he’s possessed by an evil spirit.”
Pak!!! Pak!!! Pak!!!
He threw punches.
One blow. Two blows. Three blows.
Each time the punches struck the man’s face, something was crushed, and blood splattered.
There was no scream. The man lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The last guy rushed forward. He was wearing savage knuckles on his fist.
Jeong Yu-shin stepped back and threw a Holy Low Kick.
Jjeoeeoeeok!!!
The whip-like kick struck the top of the man’s knee. His thigh bone was utterly shattered. The man, whose leg bent in a strange direction, fell like a scarecrow.
Seureureung.
The bearded man drew his sword. At that sight, Jeong Yu-shin clicked his tongue.
“Tsk. Crossing the line.”
“You son of a bitch!!!”
The bearded man charged. Had he learned sword fighting quite a bit? He seemed to have spent a lot of time in battlefields, as killing intent overflowed.
However.
[Sacred Weapon]
An arming sword forged from light flashed for an instant.
Taaaaaang!!!
The man’s sword flew into the sky. It wasn’t a parry. He just dropped the sword, pushed back by sheer strength.
Once again.
[Sacred Weapon]
What he wanted was knuckles.
As he willed it, they appeared.
Jeong Yu-shin took a step and quickly approached.
The bearded man glared with wide eyes.
“W-Wait!!!”
Holy Uppercut. Hook.
Ppabak!!!
The bearded man, whose jawbone and teeth were knocked out by the cross combination, fell backward.
Couldn’t end it here.
He quickly reached out and grabbed the bearded man by the hair.
“Snap out of it.”
Jjaaaaak!!!
A few teeth flew out of the man’s mouth as he was slapped on the cheek.
Only then did the man manage to open his eyes.
Jeong Yu-shin opened his mouth.
“Friend, why did you come to our store and act violently? With such utterly idiotic cripple-bastard-like skill, what were you counting on to swagger around? Isn’t this guy completely a crazy bastard?”
Jeong Yu-shin grabbed the man’s hair and shook him.
“Kkeueuuk!”
The man groaned as he was shaken back and forth.
Jeong Yu-shin raised his hand again. It felt like he wouldn’t feel better unless he slapped his cheek one more time soundly.
The man flinched and waved his hand.
“Hand. Hand. Hand! You bastard. Put your hand down.”
“Kkeueek!”
“This idiotic bastard… Can’t speak human language. Hey, Beard, are you possessed by Satan?”
Jeong Yu-shin asked, looking into the man’s eyes.
Then the bearded man trembled violently and peed his pants.
Idiotic guy.
Jeong Yu-shin let go of the hair and looked around.
No one was standing.
The fight was over. Compared to the labyrinth, it was utterly bland.
“Tarman, bring a chair.”
Jeong Yu-shin looked around and said to Tarman.
“Yes!”
Tarman, who was standing at the inn entrance, quickly brought a chair from inside.
Jeong Yu-shin sat on the chair and crossed his arms.
The men on the street floor were wriggling like earthworms, shedding tears of penitence and joy.
Well, they had been freed from evil spirits, so it was probably natural to be happy.
Jeong Yu-shin sat on the chair, watching the mercenary group, then opened his mouth.
“Karin.”
“Uh?”
Karin replied, flapping her tail.
“With your skills, couldn’t you just crush these guys?”
“…I didn’t want to cause trouble for the store by acting on my own.”
Jeong Yu-shin nodded. It seemed Karin had to be passive since she was new to working at the store.
It was also his fault for not giving clear instructions.
“Karin, didn’t the others stop you?”
“The guests? I stopped them. I told them not to do it.”
So that was it.
There was a reason why people who were favorably inclined towards Karin hadn’t sweetly stepped forward.
“Karin, next time there’s a guy like this, kick his butt. It’s okay.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Karin suddenly replied using polite language.
Just then.
The crowd parted, and people wearing plate armor appeared. They were the guards of the labyrinth city.
But.
Their condition was strange.
Everyone had deep dark circles under their eyes. Some guards even had matted hair (which was okay) and dried foam around their mouths.
Should he say they were like assistant managers working themselves to death in a family-like small company?
Wearing plate armor in this scorching sun and carrying heavy halberds, they seemed to be having a terrible time.
Behind the guards, people who had been tied up followed one after another like sausages.
Jeong Yu-shin knew at a glance.
These kinds of rowdy guys were not just one or two.
One guard approached.
“Barbaroi, thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. Tarman, bring a cold glass of beer.”
“No. Water, please.”
“Give him water.”
“Yes!”
Tarman quickly brought water.
The guard gulped down the water and let out a deep sigh.
“Hoo. It wasn’t a knife fight. You fought well. If it’s okay, we’ll take these guys.”
“Yes, please do. But it seems many guys like this come?”
“They come every festival, but this time it’s ‘especially’ many. Anyway, thanks for the water. Keep up the good work.”
“Yes. You too, please work hard.”
The people on the street murmured and dispersed. They didn’t forget to glance at Jeong Yu-shin’s face once in a while.
“Let’s go inside. It’s hot.”
He took Tarman, Ann, and Karin and went inside the inn.
Jeong Yu-shin sat down at the counter.
Thump!!!
Immediately, the inn door opened.
Iron Mask was standing there.
“Ska, did something happen? People are talking about you?”
Jeong Yu-shin crossed his arms with an indifferent expression.
“Just some utterly pathetic guys had evil spirits clinging to them, so I just drove them out.”
“Is, is that so.”
Iron Mask was flustered and couldn’t speak further.
“Tarman, bring Iron Mask some juice.”
“Yep!”
Tarman brought Iron Mask some juice.
Iron Mask skillfully drank the juice and nodded.
“Iron Mask, is something wrong? Didn’t we say we’d meet again after the festival?”
“I was going to, but I called you for something important.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about promotion.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
He had completely forgotten. With this trip to the labyrinth, he had met all the promotion requirements. He could be promoted to Intermediate Explorer anytime.
“It’s about going to the Explorer’s Guild together. I heard there aren’t many people, so it’s quiet. It’s a chance to get promoted quickly.”
“What about the other party members?”
“Priest Kubo is busy with temple work. Mas is…”
“What about Mas?”
What happened to that guide rat-beastman?
“He was caught stealing a priestess’s underwear.”
“…”
He had nothing to say and closed his mouth.
Crazy guy.
Iron Mask continued speaking.
“He said he was secretly rummaging through her pocket, and a string inside her priestly robe got caught, so he pulled it.”
“Got it. Stop talking.”
“…”
The two men sat at the table for a while.
“So what happened?”
“Didn’t you say not to tell you?”
“My mind has settled down. Tell me the rest.”
“He got thoroughly beaten. He’s in jail. I’m on my way back from visiting him just now.”
“Is there a way we can help?”
“Well, if the imprint Mas has is verified, it might count as extenuating circumstances. But I don’t know.”
Is that so. Thinking about it again, it was outrageous. While one person was having a fistfight with crazy guys, another was caught untying a priestess’s thong in broad daylight. It was only right that he clear his karma.
“But is it okay for just the two of us to go?”
“I got confirmation from Priest Kubo and Mas. They said no need to feel sorry. They said they’ll go after this festival ends.”
“Really? Let’s go.”
It’s better to strike while the iron is hot.
Before Jeong Yu-shin left the inn, he looked back at Karin and Tarman.
“I’ll be back from the Explorer’s Guild. If some riff-raff shows up and causes a disturbance, don’t hold back. Just beat them up.”
“Okay.”
“Yes!”
Jeong Yu-shin and Iron Mask left the inn and went to the Explorer’s Guild.
There were just the right amount of people in the building. It wasn’t crowded.
He went closer to the receptionist.
“I’d like to be promoted.”
The dog-beastman receptionist wagged her tail and smiled.
“Ah! Yes! Understood. Could you show me your tags?”
“Here you go.”
Jeong Yu-shin and Iron Mask simultaneously handed over their tags.
“Are both of you being promoted?”
“”Yes.””
“Confirmed. Iron Mask and Mr. Ska, you have met the promotion requirements. Please wait for a moment.”
“Will it take long?”
“Ah! There are some parts of the documents that need review. Also, they need to be checked by the Guild Master, and the Guild Master is currently out for a bit, so it might take some time. Of course, it won’t take too long.”
“Understood.”
Jeong Yu-shin and Iron Mask moved away from the reception desk and took a seat at a table in front of the guild request board.
Whispering voices were heard nearby.
“That mixed-blood Barbaroi is here again.”
“Tsk. He showed up without dying.”
Jeong Yu-shin ignored them with one ear and looked up at the ceiling. Iron Mask tried to get up from his seat, but Jeong Yu-shin grabbed his arm and stopped him.
He judged that there was no reason to create a fuss since they weren’t directly causing harm.
Jeong Yu-shin and Iron Mask sat quietly at the table without a word, waiting.
How much time had passed?
Thump!!!
The door on the second floor of the guild building burst open. The explorers who were spitting and talking instantly fell silent.
Footsteps descending the stairs were heard in the quiet silence.
Stomp. Stomp.
Jeong Yu-shin raised his head and looked up.
A giant human was carrying someone down.
Familiar hair color?
Jeong Yu-shin sprang up from his seat.
“Black Hair?!!!”
A height well over 2 meters.
Thick muscles that writhed, radiating heat.
Long, flowing black hair.
The man, dressed only in pants, was carrying a naked woman on his shoulder.
The woman’s buttocks were facing forward, so her identity could not be confirmed.
“…”
All the explorers in the guild froze, unable to breathe.
The woman’s buttocks twitched, and a sticky stream of semen was ejaculated once.
Pudadaak!!!
Yellow semen spilled onto the floor, making a splat! sound and splashing everywhere.
The black-haired man looked around once and smacked his lips.
Chyu-reup.
As a red tongue licked his lips, some weak-minded explorers lost consciousness and slammed their heads onto the tables.
Stomp. Stomp.
Every time the man’s footsteps echoed, the explorers trembled, unable to move. Like prey before a predator.
The man slowly approached Jeong Yu-shin.
Jeong Yu-shin immediately stood up and glared at the man.
Tak.
The man stopped walking and stood, looking down at Jeong Yu-shin.
Beast-like eyes flashed between his long hair.
“Are you that mixed-blood virgin guy?”
A voice as low as the abyss boomed through the guild.
“…”
Jeong Yu-shin glared at the man without a word.
The black-haired man opened his mouth again.
“Crazy guy. Who’s the father?”
