◈ Episode 202. The big guy comes down. (3)
In the now familiar training room of the new Valhalla.
“… … “Why doesn’t this guy come down?”
Barce responded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s muttering, frowning as if he did not understand.
“Sure, it’s a little late this time.”
“Isn’t it a bit late?”
It was about a month ago when Kim Joo-hyuk first heard that the hole had opened.
one month.
In terms of days, it is about 30 days.
When looking at the time they usually come down after the hole is opened, they come down to the ground about 3 to 4 days after the hole is opened.
but now?
“I’ve never had anything like this before.”
one month.
They hadn’t come down for a month.
“Well, isn’t a good thing a good thing?”
Barce answers Kim Joo-hyuk’s words with a shrug.
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk had no intention of denying Barce’s words.
For Kim Joo-hyuk, the more time he had, the better.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who started training by sparring with Barcet in earnest, has been focusing on training these days and has absorbed several names so far, quickly filling his expanded limits.
And Kim Joo-hyuk knew very well that his increased skills would definitely be of great help in future fights.
‘Well, even though I was training so hard, I didn’t feel the same feeling as when I fought the black dragon.’
Nevertheless, at some point, Kim Joo-hyuk stopped paying much attention to that part.
In the end, it was concluded that even if he wanted to somehow recreate that feeling, that feeling would not be recreated in the form that Kim Joo-hyuk wanted.
Anyway, over the past month, Kim Joo-hyuk has been training hard to prepare for someone.
The conclusion is that thanks to this, the Kim Joo-hyuk of a month ago and the Kim Joo-hyuk of today are very different.
“At this level, do you think you can deal with the guy who comes down this time?”
“hmm.”
Barce thinks for a moment about Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“I’m not sure, but assuming that Yeo Dong-bin comes down unscathed, I think we might be able to secure the victory if Moo-gwang joins in.”
“What about the other guys?”
“… … “They’re different guys.”
Barche thought again, then shook his head and spoke.
“Those guys will definitely be helpful, but I think it’s better to leave them out.”
“… … Is that really the case?”
“As you know, your disciples’ contractees are definitely getting stronger quickly. “Honestly, it’s surprising how ordinary humans can become so strong so quickly.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at Barce’s words.
Certainly, the guys around Kim Joo-hyuk who are currently getting stronger to help him are getting stronger overall quickly.
“But it won’t be that helpful now. “Last time, her attack only worked because Yeo Dong-bin came back mortally wounded, but she probably wouldn’t have come down mortally wounded.”
“On the contrary, all of our children would have suffered?”
Barce nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
“You can’t stop ten hands with one hand, but there are always exceptions. And if Yeo Dong-bin, who we were dealing with, had not been fatally injured, she could well have been one of those exceptions. furthermore-”
Barce continued speaking with a serious expression.
“Probably, if Yeo Dong-bin’s strength had been intact, there would have been casualties on your disciple’s contractor side as well, if not on you.”
“… … “It certainly is.”
Kim Joo-hyuk agreed as if Barce’s words were right, but then spoke as if he was disappointed.
“If lotus petals could be used again, I wouldn’t have known.”
“Then this time it’s you and me…” … And is it matte?”
“okay. “I’m sorry about the rest, but it will be helpful when we increase our strength a little more or when other constellations come down like last time.”
Barce’s words.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded in agreement and looked up at the sky again.
“It will come down slowly now, right?”
“Well, honestly, now that I’m at this point, if I think about it calmly, it doesn’t seem strange no matter when I come down.”
“Tsk, now I just want you to tell me when you’re going to come down.”
Kim Joo-hyuk clicks his tongue and speaks.
And that moment.
“!”
Kim Joo-hyuk realized that his vision was distorted.
####
It is a sight that feels and is now very familiar.
“long time no see.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who saw the old boards, immediately turned his head at the sound of a voice and looked at the guide sitting in his seat.
“?”
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to notice the difference in the guide.
“Where did your hat go?”
That was because the guide’s cone hat, which he always wore whenever he met Kim Joo-hyuk, was gone.
After the conical hat, which is much larger than the others and looks like a witch’s wear, disappears, what is visible is long wavy red hair.
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked while looking at that, the guide looked at Kim Joo-hyuk intently.
“… … Nothing.”

He soon shrugged his shoulders, showing disappointment for some unknown reason.
At this, Kim Joo-hyuk slightly tilted his head, but then shrugged his shoulders like her and sat down in front of the guide.
The guide let out a small sigh and immediately started talking.
“It’s dangerous this time.”
“suddenly?”
Kim Joo-hyuk responds to the guide’s words as if it were sudden.
However, the guide looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with an extremely serious expression and spoke.
“Really. “The being coming down this time is truly dangerous.”
“No, that much?”
At least until now, when he thought about it, the guide had never called him like this and warned him that it was dangerous, so Kim Joo-hyuk looked a little more serious, just like the guide, and the guide continued talking.
“The Lord of the Labyrinth hired a watchman.”
“warden… … ? “What is a watchman again?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand, the guide remained silent for a long time with an expression that seemed to show complicated feelings, and then explained about Watchmen.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who soon heard her entire explanation, spoke.
“… … So, you’re saying they sent a professional team down to kill me, an irregular?”
“That’s right, he’s also quite strong.”
“who?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
But the guide shook his head.
“I don’t know who it is.”
“I don’t know who it is, so why are you making such a fuss?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer, the watchman sighed and spoke.
“It doesn’t matter that you don’t know who it is, what matters is that the watchman was hired by the Lord of the Labyrinth. “In the first place, watchmen are professional hunters who deal with irregulars.”
“In other words, you’re saying you’re never someone to look down on, right?”
“Yes, as I said over and over again, you could end up in a dangerous situation. “Anyway, you can’t avoid this fight, but you have to be careful.”
The guide opens his mouth with a very worried expression.
Kim Joo-hyuk thought about it for a moment.
“If I were to get stuck with that guy called the watchman right now, wouldn’t I be able to even write a page?”
We talked soon.

Training room.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who came back after talking with the guide, immediately called Moo-gwang and Barche over to talk.
“… … warden?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded to Barce’s question.
“I heard so.”
“warden. A watchman… … .”
“Do you know anything?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Barce shook his head at that.
Moo Gwang-eun was thinking for a long time next to him.
“We’ve never met, but I know everything.”
“Uh, really?”
Moo-gwang nods his head at Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
“Unlike the owner of the Tower of Destruction, I did not receive a new name, but I originally had this name even when I was ‘out there.’ In short, the external information is really minimal, but we do have it to some extent.”
“That’s very good news to hear, unlike Barce who always knows nothing.”
“greatness.”
Barce blatantly clears his throat at Kim Joo-hyuk’s gossip.
“So, what do you know about Watchmen?”
Moo-gwang thought briefly about his question and then immediately began to open his mouth.
“First of all, as far as I know, they are professional hunters whose job is to deal with the Mavericks that appear in the Labyrinth.”
“Well, are they like paid services?”
“That’s right. However, in the case of watchmen, they do not receive money, but rather their name.”
“name?”
“yes. And any other information that comes to mind… … “I think I heard that the Watchman has a lot of power overall.”
“… … “It is a strong force.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk muttered, Barche opened his mouth.
“Now that I think about it, didn’t you say you asked the guide? What will happen if we fight? “What kind of answer did you get?”
“They say they don’t know.”
“what?”
“I don’t know.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk said that, he recalled the conversation he had with his former guide earlier.
‘To be honest, I don’t know. Although your growth potential is visible right now, I think it’s unclear whether it will work for the Watchmen. That’s why I’m telling you to be careful.’
‘As you said, I can’t give you an honest answer to the fact that I will lose without even being able to use any strategy. To be honest, I don’t really understand the capabilities of the watchmen who are coming down right now because I don’t even know who they are.’
In the end, the information obtained from the conversation with her is that the being coming down now is a guy called the Watchman and is very strong.
Kim Joo-hyuk summarized it that way and told it to Barche.
“… … “It seems like it could be really dangerous.”
Five days after Barce’s words.
[The Butcher of No Newspaper says that as soon as the black hole disappears, someone has gone to this world!]
When exactly one month and a week had passed, Kim Joo-hyuk received news from Ji-ral that the watchman had arrived.
Kim Joo-hyuk soon used the power of the master behind him to move towards the place where the watchman had come down.
“… … .”
Soon I could see a man standing in a huge meadow as if he had been waiting for me to come.
The first thing you see about the man is the dark red prayer beads hanging around his neck.
The next thing I saw was a beard growing in the center of the prayer beads as if it had not been maintained.
However, unbalancedly, the next thing that caught Kim Joo-hyuk’s gaze was a fan.
A man with a massive appearance was holding a fan made of feathers that looked like something only a strategist would carry.
Each item has an old-fashioned feel to it, but when you look at it as a whole, it looks like a very strange combination of a man.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not dare to laugh even after seeing the unbalanced and seemingly funny appearance.
The same goes for Barce and Matte.
Upon hearing the news that the watchman had come down, the two who came over to the grassland with the help of the ruler behind them kept their mouths tightly shut.
That’s right too.
“oh.”
This was because everyone who was facing him, including Kim Joo-hyuk, instinctively realized one thing.
“Is that you?”
The man right in front of me.
“The guy who killed my student.”
The fact that he is a strong man is absurd.
