.”
“I don’t care what he is saying.”
He would be turning into a corpse soon, and then all he would be able to do was scream.
I grabbed his shoulder, and two things happened simultaneously.
He kicked my chest to push me back at the same time as I broke his two legs, causing him to collide with the wall. Because of that, he couldn’t land well. He lifted his head to look at me, and he was sneering.
That didn’t matter. I looked over his body and saw that he was recovering. It seemed to be something like So-Eun’s ability. I think there had been a healing skill inside him.
However, that would be of no use to him. I had met these types of enemies before, and I knew just how to crush them.
My red aura was flowing freely from my body.
After completing his recovery, Balmung once again rushed toward me. His blade was aiming for my forehead, and I dodged it easily. I grabbed his shoulder and simply ripped one of his sword arms off his body.
What was interesting was that his blood was red. I thought that he was not human, but he did have the same blood as us.
“Urgh…”
I ripped off his other sword arm.
Balmung tried to resist and launch a counterattack, but I dodged it again and ripped his leg off.
After a short while, both of his legs had been regenerated. Just as I thought, he had a healing skill. What I didn’t expect was how fast it was working.
I grabbed his leg and exerted great force until I managed to get to the bone inside. I tilted my body to the side and kicked his chin. As his body flew up into the air, I pulled on his leg and ripped it off.
He fell with a loud thud and tried to raise his head weakly. Before he could do anything else, I used his severed leg to attack him.
Crash!
I smacked him so hard he collided with the wall, leaving a broken hole in the shape of his figure imprinted on the surface. I threw his leg to him and noticed that his mouth was bleeding. I ignored it and walked forward.
This guy was a battle junkie. Even after all that, he was still charging toward me.
Interesting.
I raised one arm to block his approaching fist and the other arm to guard against his sword.
Mr. Han had told me that this place is related to Nibelungenlied. He also told me that Siegfried and Gunther were here. I could suppose that he was one of them. I clenched my fist and punched the monster hard.
Balmung’s sword was smashed into pieces. A piercing scream came out of his mouth, but I ignored it and kicked his chest.
Crash!
Again, he collided with the wall.
I rotated my body and kicked him again, this time aiming for his head. He fell down to the ground, writhing in pain. I stepped forward, and as he tried to get up, I stomped on his neck so that he could not rise.
He rained punches on my leg, but it was no use.
I put greater and greater force on the foot that was holding him down until I heard his neck bone break. Again, I stomped on him.
Crash!
When I looked down at Balmung, he was shivering.

Chapter 5

This view was also familiar. Even in Valhalla, whenever someone were to see me fighting, they tended to leave me alone. I looked at the monstrous man I had just killed and sensed that something was not right.

I picked up the black sword that had fallen to the ground. It had a length of approximately eight feet, a very long sword that an orc or a giant might use.

I stood up and inspected it. This didn’t look like a sword.

I turned around to look for Jang Hyeok, but I suppose he misread my purpose.

“…The sword is yours, Mr. Lee. We won’t say anything about…”

I shook my head. That was not what I meant.

“What is the key to clearing this S-rated gate?”

Jang Hyeok was evidently trying to be calm. He was now the leader of the guild, so he had to be strong for the others.

“There are two ways to do it. One way is to kill the boss monster, the more conventional way to clear the gate.”

“What about the other?”

“It’s to discover the dungeon’s secret…”

“Discover?”

“That’s why we set up a camp to do research. If we find all the hidden secrets and collect the artifacts from the gate, then it will be cleared.”

“I see.”

“As a company, we chose to do the latter way. What you are holding is one of the artifacts. I assume it’s a Balmung, the sword from the legend.”

This was going much simpler than I had thought.

Discovering the secrets of the gate? I didn’t care about that. History? I was busy studying for the GED. What did you expect?

I would rather just kill the boss monster. How simple was that?

“Let me get this straight. If I kill the boss, then that’s it. Am I correct?”

“…Yes. The strongest monster is the boss.”

I then called the interpreter over.

“Repeat after me in their language.”

“Oh… sure.”

I turned back, holding Balmung in my hands. Then I said what I wanted to say.

“Don’t waste my time. Come out now.”

Everyone was quiet. They didn’t understand what I was trying to do. I urged the interpreter to translate it quickly, and so he did.

I didn’t know what he was saying, but I could hear him shouting out some words.

I then spoke again. “Come out. Now.”

That was enough. I put the sword down and told everyone to step back.

I took a deep breath and stomped on the ground. It fractured below my feet. As I did it once more, the sword Balmung began to glow.

A blinding light shone brightly, and after a moment, the atmosphere changed.

As the light dimmed down, we could see the figure of a man in front of us. He didn’t have hair or reproductive organs. He was evidently not a human. In fact, instead of arms, what came out of his torso were two sharp swords. To be more specific, his arms were two Balmungs.

Yes, the sword Balmung had indeed transformed itself into a man.

All of the Ko-gu-Rea guild members gaped in surprise to see this monstrous show. It looked even worse than the previous enemy.

He opened his mouth, and a long, screeching sound rang out.
