Supplementary Story 51
âNow, letâs go to where Mason is.â
Hyeonuâs voice was very casual. It was hard to believe he was someone who had just fought a battle.
âWhat are you doing? Arenât you going to guide me?â
Despite Hyeonuâs urging, Cancun showed no signs of moving.
âWasnât it said that Teika and Yeongchan told him?â
The current battleâit was a thoroughly woven play. The original plan was for Hyeonu to defeat Cancun and reclaim Mason.
âPerhaps...?â
Hyeonuâs eyes narrowed. For some reason, he got an ominous feeling. Hyeonu recovered the Mixed Sky Sword he was holding to Cancunâs neck and stepped back.
âIt isnât over yet!â
The moment Hyeonu stepped back, an intense wave burst out from Cancunâs body. It was incomparable to before.
âThere is so much that I havenât shown you!!â
Fighting energy and magic power gathered behind Cancunâs back and took on a pale form. It was a bit clumsy, but it was similar to what Raccoon had shown in the past.
-Wow, isnât this a bit cool?
-It looks like a skill used by the orc great tribe chief in the past. Maybe it is a skill that orcs learn.
-Will Teika be able to use it later?
-Do you think so? Although I donât know how many levels I need to gain ã ã
The viewers were busy admiring what Cancun was showing. Visually, it was really cool. However, Hyeonu had to deal directly with Cancun, so he had a completely different reaction.
âHe is using everything.â
Hyeonu sighed lightly and shook his head. He didnât like Cancunâs behavior of using up everything.
âShould I use a buff as well?â
At the same time, he was worried. Should he use the buffs he hadnât used yet?
âHe looks pretty strong.â
Nevertheless, he was sure to beat Cancun. He was able to win as he was now. He just felt that it was a bit lacking to win in an overwhelming manner.
âYes, letâs just use one.â
It wasnât much. Only one buff was enough.
âTang-E, what are you doing? Give me the buffs now.â
Tang-E appeared at Hyeonuâs call.
âUmm... Are you fighting against my friend again?â
Tang-E looked worried when he saw Cancun exuded a fierce force in the distance.
âHe is obviously going to lose again.â
It was almost certain that Cancun could never beat Hyeonu. Hyeonuâs strength was now closer to Raccoon than to Cancun.
âTang-E will give you the buffs. Instead, you should be gentle, Master dude. Understood?â
A tricolored energy flowed from Tang-Eâs paws to Hyeonu.
âHow can I do anything else? Arenât I afraid of Raccoon too?â
Hyeonu received Tang-Eâs buffs and shrugged. He was thinking about doing it in moderation. Just in moderation.
âYou shouldâve done your best from the start. You canât come and act so pathetically now.â
Hyeonu put his sword away. Then he raised his magic power and injected it into a ring. A luxurious spear was held in Hyeonuâs right hand.
-That weapon has come out.
-He told Tang-E he would be gentle...
-Looking at it, that isnât Alley Leader ã ã
The viewers burst out laughing when they saw the spear. Hyeonuâs words and actions were contradictory. Hyeonuâs spear was a better item than the sword.
âStill, I am generous, so I will give you one more chance. Come.â
Hyeonu raised a finger that wasnât holding the spear. At the same time, Cancunâs body shot at Hyeonu like a bullet. Cancun swung his axe from top to bottom. Then the red figure behind Cancun struck down with the same huge axe. Hyeonu lightly aimed his spear at the approaching axe. It was a neat stab with no messiness. Yet it felt too light compared to Cancunâs attack. It looked like a praying mantis blocking an incoming carriage.
Hyeonuâs spear, which seemed like it would be pushed badly, completely blocked Cancunâs axe. Then while the spear and axe were stuck together, the spear pushed the axe away.
âOhhhh!â Cancun screamed and added more strength to the axe. Despite his efforts, Cancunâs body started to be pushed back little by little.
âUnbelievable! Am I being pushed in strength?â
Cancunâs expression distorted. It should be impossible for a human to push an orc with strength. Anger boiled up inside him. It was helpless anger at himself. There was also anger at Hyeonu for making him powerless.
âYou canât do this!â
The color of the red figure behind Cancunâs back became darker. It felt black-red, not red.
Cancun once again swung his axe. It was stronger and faster than before.
âWhy not?â
Hyeonuâs response was consistent. He didnât dodge Cancunâs attack and just blocked it.
Strength and skillâhe didnât show signs of being pushed in any of it.
âI have to wrap this up...â
Hyeonu, who had been playing around with Cancun for a long time, looked around.
It was the atmosphere of the battle coming to an end.
âI think it was over there.ââ
Hyeonu had watched the surroundings carefully while fighting Cancun. As a result, he was able to find Mason, Teika, and Yeongchan. Since then, Hyeonu had pretended to be pushed and lured Cancun. Cancun didnât know this and followed Hyeonuâs intention well. He thought he had a chance to win. Therefore, Hyeonu and Cancun naturally broke away from the battlefield.
âWell, you could say there was an error.â
Hyeonu roughly checked the distance he moved and ended the live stream. The thing that was going to happen shouldnât be shown to the viewers.
âThis is enough. The spar is over,â Hyeonu said while taking back the spear.
âListen to Master dude, my friend. Thatâs it for today. You have fought enough,â Tang-E also persuaded Cancun. It was time to stop. Nothing would change if he did more.
âFriend...â At Tang-Eâs words, Cancunâs fierce aura disappeared. âI lost again.â
It was only then that Cancun could see Hyeonu properly. He was perfectly fine. There wasnât a single scratch.
âEven though I used everything?â
Cancun had poured out everything he learned from Raccoon. However, the result was right in front of his eyes.
âThatâs enough.â
Cancun put the axe on his back.
âIt is a good decision, my friend. I think you are a lot stronger today than you were before.â
Tang-E ran to the somewhat sullen-looking Cancun and started to comfort him.
âNo, I didnât become stronger at all. I lost again today, friend.â
âNo, you are great. You are doing well enough. Just ignore that human. There is no comparison.â
âI canât do that. I have to overcome him. I have to become the great tribe chief and lead the orcs.â
Cancun shook his head. His friendâs comfort was good, but that didnât mean he could give up the struggle here. If he gave up on ever going beyond Hyeonu, then what about those who were higher than Hyeonu?
âThen I will just cheer for you. Do whatever it takes.â
Before he knew it, Tang-E was on Cancunâs shoulder and stroked Cancunâs head.
âThey are having fun.â
Hyeonu smiled happily at the scene.
âBy the way... long time no see, Teika.â
Hyeonu waved at Teika, Yeongchan, and Mason.
âIt has been a while? Didnât we meet at the arena a few days ago?â
In fact, Teika had met Hyeonu a while ago. It was during the PvP training of Crescent Moon.
âIs that so? I thought it was quite a while ago.â
Currently, Hyeonu was living very split days. He paid more attention to Arena than before and the number and times he met Reina increased. In the meantime, he also had to keep in touch with Nike Management. He had no idea how the days went by.
âI thought you were only in the imperial palace... I was surprised to see you so much stronger than before.â
Teika was thrilled by the strength shown by Hyeonu today. Hyeonu used to be monstrously strong, but today he was more advanced than before.
âI canât win for the rest of my life.â
He had no confidence. Months had passed in real time, but he didnât feel like he could win even before Hyeonu became an emperor.
âIt is the emperor who becomes stronger just by sitting down and stamping. Teika, are you going to challenge the position of orc great tribe chief? Or perhaps lead the League of Different Species,â Hyeonu took off his mask, smiled, and made Teika an offer.
âThatâs fine. Iâm told the decision is made with mana or a knife. I donât have the confidence to beat that guy. He might be helpless against Alley Leader, but he is like the mafia to me.â
Teika shook his hands violently. In order to become the orc great tribe chief, his biggest competitor was Cancun. Teika had sparred with Cancun numerous times at Raccoonâs order. Unlike the first time when they were similar in strength, he was gradually pushed by Cancun over time. In particular, he was pushed badly ever since the creation of the orc figure.
âYou still donât know, so you should give it a try. It is nothing to level up.â
Hyeonu didnât give up and kept pushing the fishing line to Teika.
âThatâs fine. I am satisfied enough.â
However, Teika avoided it lightly. He wasnât caught by Hyeonuâs fishing attempt.
âHow are you? Youâre not in pain?â Hyeonu smacked his lips together like he was sorry and turned to Mason.
âIt is here and there. It is all the same. In any case, I have been busy recently and havenât been able to participate in the battle properly.â
Mason was really busy. Nike Managementâs business has become bigger than ever, so there were more things he needed to pay attention to.
âNevertheless, thank you for being willing to listen to this request.â
âIf you want to thank me, then do more advertising. Even once or twice a month is good.â
âAdvertising? All of a sudden?â Hyeonu asked with wide eyes.
He knew that there were many ads coming in, but among them, Hyeonu did almost none.
âI donât need more money.â
There was only one reason why streamers advertised. It was money. However, Hyeonu was already making too much money.
âIf I make money here, I just need to pay more taxes.â
He was already paying a huge amount of taxes. Nike Management managed it as much as possible, but this didnât mean he had no taxes to pay.
âWho told you to do it for money? Youâve been doing some outdoor streaming these days. Just try it. Have I ever recommended something weird? Additionally, Hyung has to do this for others to get advertisements as well.â
âLet me think about it.â
Hyeonu left some room rather than flat out refusing.
âYou... just work hard.â
Hyeonu patted Yeongchanâs shoulder and cut off the rope wrapped around Masonâs wrist.
âLetâs go.â
The moment Hyeonu grabbed Masonâs hand, a notification window popped up in front of Hyeonu.
[Rescued the disciple of Great Magician Suped 1/1]
At the same time, Mason and Hyeonu disappeared.
âYou arenât going to challenge the great tribe chief, right?â Yeongchan stared at the spot where Hyeonu disappeared and opened his mouth.
âProbably? I donât really want to do it. I want to play games, not work hard.â
âThen I'm glad. Letâs go quickly. We have to clean things up.â
âIsnât that our specialty?â
Teika and Yeongchan laughed and quickly left.
