Chapter 116: The Commotion


    Eom Jun-seok?


    Ryu Min remembered his nickname.


    He was the one who had caught the boss attention during the High Orc battle.


    Not intentionally, but because he had been frozen in fear.


    You, you remember my nickname?


    I just saw it briefly, but it seems Im right.


    After all, he yed a significant role in achieving a 1-second record in the time attack.


    But why is this guy approaching me?


    He had never spoken a word to Ryu Min before, yet here he was, approaching nervously.


    -Oh, ck Scythe-nim remembers me I did good speaking to him!


    Ryu Min read his thoughts and saw no ulterior motive.


    It seemed like a simple greeting.


    Even knowing this, Ryu Min bluntly asked, What do you want from me?


    Ah, well, you saved me back then, and Ive been feeling guilty for not thanking you.


    Eom Jun-seok bowed solemnly and seriously.


    Thank you for saving my life.


    I should be thanking you for drawing the High Orcs aggro.


    Ryu Min swallowed these words and simply nodded.


    Alright, you can go now.


    Although it was a dismissal, Eom Jun-seok didnt move, looking disappointed.


    Ah, wait. Dont tell me?


    Ryu Min nced back and forth between Heo Taeseok and Um Jun-seok.


    Their gazes seemed simrly devoted.


    It feels like Ive gained another follower


    Ignoring Ryu Mins offer to leave, Eom Jun-seok continued, Its an honor to party with ck Scythe. Im looking forward to working together.


    Hold on. Youre Eom Jun-seok, right? What do you mean ck Scythe-nim saved you?


    Oh, that was when


    Interrupted by Heo Taeseok, Eom Jun-seok detailed the perilous situation he had faced.


    Ah, that time when ck Scythe-nim appeared.


    Yes. It was truly fortunate. But you are


    Sorry for thete introduction. Im Old-Man-No-Gay. Are you interested in religion?


    Religion?


    Im recruiting people for a new cause


    The two continued their conversation, leaving Ryu Min aside.


    Hes trying to recruit followers even now.


    Heo Taeseok, usually awkward, was eloquent in front of Eom Jun-seok, especially when it came to ck Scythe.


    Let them be. More followers for me isnt bad.


    Although their whispering felt a bit like being a third wheel, it didnt matter to Ryu Min as long as they didnt bother him.


    Then, Elf Yugrito used the wind spirit to announce to everyone, We will start moving now. Please take care of us, warriors from the other world.


    With that as the signal, the caravan started moving.


    Clip-clop, clip-clop.


    The white horse pulled the wheel-less carriage.


    Following the procession of 30 carriages, about 700 yers also moved, naturally dividing to escort the carriages on both sides, vignt for any monster attacks.


    Despite their appearance, these yers had survived up to the 7th round.


    The forest was beautiful, but they werent lost in appreciation, aware that anything could emerge in this otherworldly realm.


    However, Ryu Min was distinctly rxed, as if on a neighborhood stroll, already knowing when and what monsters would appear.


    Harpy, Lizardman, Werewolf. These three types will attack alternately, every 10 minutes.


    Like the Dwarf Guild, there would be 30 attacks, but with half the number of monsters, stronger than orcs.


    We should kill at least 10 per yer. It wont be easy for the others.


    Despite the medium difficulty, only Ryu Min knew the tough journey ahead.


    Its a monster! Everyone be careful!


    Squee!


    Squawk!


    Harpy attacks began, catching the yers off guard facing flying monsters for the first time.


    But soon, seeing Ryu Min effortlessly ying Harpies, they realized they could attack when the monsters descended.


    Since they use their beaks and ws to attack, you just need to slice them when they get close.


    Inspired by Ryu Mins prowess with his Death Scythe, yers wielded their weapons and skills to protect the elves.


    Heo Taeseok and Eom Jun-seok didnt idle either.


    Chains and ck arrows restrained and pierced the harpies, while Eom Jun-seoks sword cleanly sliced through them.


    Thank you, Jun-seok.


    Be careful, No Gay.


    By the way, have you considered my proposal?


    Lets finish this and talk.


    The harpy hunt ended smoothly.


    Though swift, they were manageablepared to orcs and even gave more experience points.


    yers sighed in relief after the unexpected flying monster attack.


    Whew, flying monsters, what a surprise.


    But they werent that tough, right?


    Experience points are so little though.


    With 740 of us, what can you expect?


    Discussions continued, including admiration for ck Scythes role.


    Did you see ck Scythe in action?


    He split them right in two.


    Its the first time I felt sorry for the monsters.


    Amidst the chatter, Ryu Min knew, This ease will soon turn to sighs.


    If they could wish, they would long for a rest, but a grueling journey awaited them.


    Soon theyll realize.


    About three minutes into the walk, Lizardmen ambushed like thieves.


    After battling them, and before they could rest, Werewolves attacked.


    Huff, puff


    After defeating them, Harpies and then Lizardmen struck again.


    Isnt this insane? So many monsters are attacking us?


    Must be like game respawns.


    Hunting was fine, but they needed breaks.


    Every 10 minutes, a new wave of monsters appeared, leaving no time to rest between battles and marches.


    yers only realized the relentless nature of the mission after five waves.


    Pant, pant. Are you alright, ck Scythe-nim?


    As you see.


    Ryu Min, unlike his exhausted followers, was energetically distributing stat points, not from leveling up, but from the beads of eternity.


    One stat point per 100 monsters. Is there a better item than this?


    Considering the slow leveling at higher ranks, it was a treasure.


    His stats from the beads were even surpassing his level-up stats.


    In any case, Ryu Min was pleased.


    With so many monsters and the ability to recover durability Ill be busy allocating stats.


    Ryu Min was evenly distributing the four types of stats, considering the Rune of Bnce.


    Even without the rune, bnced stats is the key.


    Through trial and error in his regresses, he found out that bnced stats were strongest.


    Just as Ryu Min finished allocating stats, Yugrito urged, We have a long way to go, warriors from the other world. The monsters seem cleared, lets move.


    Damn, no rest.


    Monsters will probably appear again soon.


    yers grudgingly stood up and resumed escorting the guild.


    Failing to protect the Elf Guild meant yer extinction.


    Despite their reluctance, they had no choice but to move.


    It wasnt just the escort group moving.


    The traitor group is starting to make their move too.


    Realizing they could be eliminated first, four traitors plotted to strike the Elf Guild amidst the monster chaos.


    It wont be easy. These arent ordinary elf merchants.


    The merchants driving the carriages were knights guarding the princess.


    Moreover, the carriage carrying the princess was protected by two spells.


    One spell creates wind des if the handle is touched, and the other throws intruders into the air.


    But what if they sessfully capture the princess?


    Thats game over.


    Threatening to kill her would be enough to make the elf knightsply.


    Capturing the princess would surely swing the victory to the traitors.


    Just threaten to kill her and you will stop the guild.


    Targeting the princess was the most efficient way.


    The traitors wont know shes inside, though.


    They suspected that the decorated carriage contained valuables.


    Well, the princess is valuable, so theyre on the right track.


    As long as you reach Seoul, the path doesnt matter.


    The traitors agreed to target the princesss carriage.


    And isnt the next monster to appear the Werewolf?


    Timing their attacks with the monsters appearance could create the desired situation.


    They might not seed, but I should be prepared.


    Ryu Min subtly moved to a spot out of sight.


    Then, shouts erupted.


    Monsters!


    Werewolves!


    As the Werewolves appeared, Ryu Min activated his skill.


    Night Death.


    Darkness swiftly enveloped the forest.


    yers initially flustered, calmly faced the monsters, knowing it was ck Scythes skill.


    Looks like ck Scythe used his skill, but it doesnt matter.


    I can see still fight, even in the dark.


    But they overlooked one thing.


    Werewolves be 30% stronger at night.


    Awwooo!


    Their eyes turned red, and their ws grew bigger.


    Uh?


    As they moved more agilely, the yers panicked.


    For the traitors, though, it was an opportunity.


    ck Scythe used his skill for us to operate in the dark.


    Youre the best ck Scythe!


    They rushed to the decorated carriage, suspecting valuables inside.


    It must contain something to threaten the elves!


    Approaching the carriage, they went unnoticed in the darkness.


    But that was short-lived when one of them touched the carriage handle.


    Whish! Swoosh!


    Ahh!


    His hand was sliced off by the wind de.


    Aaaaah!


    His scream alerted the elves, and Yugrito, the elf knight captain, rushed to the princesss carriage.


    Whats happening?


    A warrior dared to attack the carriage!


    Another traitor tried to open the carriage, triggering a reverse-gravity spell that threw him into the air.


    Wha?


    He plummeted to a gruesome death.


    Yet, two traitors remained.


    Opening the carriage, they found the princess, Eufinelcia, with rabbit-like eyes.


    We thought it was valuables, but


    Something better! Hehehe.


    With the princess captured, the game seemed over.


    The princess is in danger!


    Hearing themotion, Yugrito drew his sword and ran over.


    What are you doing! Protect the princess!


    He stopped mid-sentence, seeing the two traitors already lying on the ground.


    What happened?


    The darkness had lifted, and sunlight bathed the carriage.


    A man was kicking the traitors with his foot as if to check if they were unconscious.


    It was none other than ck Scythe.
