Chapter 142: Three Norns (1 . 1)
At the same time, Yeon-woo activated his Shunpo and stuck Vigrid deep in the Martial King’s direction .
“Nice!”
The Martial King exclaimed and spun his body around . As he pushed Vigrid aside, he attacked Yeon-woo .
Yeon-woo quickly flapped his wings of fire and stepped back . The Martial King followed him right on his heel and Aegis popped out from Intrenian to block the Martial King .
Even if the Martial was strong, he couldn’t break Aegis . And since 6 different plates were spinning around, he slowed down .
Yeon-woo didn’t miss that chance and attacked the Martial King’s blind spot .
The Martial King realized what he was doing and responded to him . The Eight Extreme Fists unfolded in order .
Rumble, Bang!
Boom!
Eight Extreme Fists collided with each other . Vigrid was confronted by a fist .
Yeon-woo did his best to swing Vigrid around .
Blood dripped from his bitten lips, and the veins in his Draconic Eyes were blood red . His Magic Circuit was hot from being overused .
But the Martial King didn’t let him off the hook . He responded to Yeon-woo’s attacks one by one without even batting an eyelash, and continued to push him in a corner . His attacks tested his limits and almost took his life .
Everytime he did that, Yeon-woo barely pulled together his Dragon Body and avoided the danger . And he focused to look for a chance to attack .
From far away, Phante and Edora shook their heads looking at the scene .
They were definitely training . But their surroundings were being reduced to trash .
Walls broke, and hills were becoming plains . The river that flowed by had dried out a long time ago because of the heat .
If they hadn’t set up Jinbup around them, then the Tower’s outside territory would’ve been a mess .
“… . . He’s become an even bigger monster . ”
Phante let out a deep sigh .
“… . . I lost . ”
Yeon-woo plopped down with an extremely tired expression .
Tiredness and helplessness weighed him down . His warmed Magic Circuit was completely empty like it had never been filled with magic power before .
A week had already passed since the Martial King offered himself as a sparring partner for training .
Yeon-woo was planning on immediately climbing the Tower after some recovery .
However .
-Disciple? Even if you go, you should get checked by your teacher before you go, right?
Right before he left, Yeon-woo nodded at what the Martial King said .
It was hard to deny his teacher, who wanted to see how much he learned, and he wanted to see how much stronger he had become with the Dragon Body .
So he started training with a light heart .
‘But I didn’t know it would end up like this . ’
The Martial King required everything of Yeon-woo .
He didn’t speak . He just pushed him down with his immense strength and left him defenseless .
Like his life would really be in danger if he didn’t give it his all . The Martial King really pushed Yeon-woo like he was going to kill him .
So he had shown all his cards .
But Yeon-woo was able to completely understand his limits and what to do when he was met with them .
And he was able to show a greater strength than before .
And he considered it deeply .
If it was really okay to reveal himself like this .
He still hadn’t shown the power of the Black Bracelet, which was his last card, but even showing the power of the Draconic species was a lot for Yeon-woo .
But Yeon-woo quickly folded those thoughts .
He thought of the Martial King at the time when he said he would leave the One-horned tribe . He still remembered his words not to forget the relationship between a teacher and their disciple .
On one hand, it was relieving .
It was still a bit uncomfortable, but the Martial King didn’t dig into it .
Like it didn’t have anything to do with him, he didn’t take any interest in it . And he didn’t accidentally let it slip anywhere else either .
He only focused on breaking it during the sparring .

So Yeon-woo was able to comfortably test his limits . He grew thanks to that, and even though only a week had passed, he was already more experienced,
The Martial King’s eyes were mixed with something else other than respect when he looked at Yeon-woo now .
Wariness .
Not of a teacher to their disciple, but from a player to a player . The desire to break him with his skills was able to be seen .
The Martial King smirked seeing Yeon-woo had read his mind .
He was satisfied every time he saw his smart disciple understand more than what he taught .
But on one hand, he felt a bit bitter as well .
He had nothing else to teach him .
Thinking those thoughts, he crossed his arms and raised a corner of his mouth .
“Cain . ”
“Yes . ”
“Now, you can leave . ”
At his teacher’s words that he could now take care of himself, Yeon-woo widened his eyes and bowed .
With a short goodbye saying thanks .
“You’re already heading up, Oraboni? It would be nice to go together . ”
“Exactly . What’s the rush?”
Looking at Edora, who was upset, and Phante, who complained with a pout .
Yeon-woo grinned unconsciously seeing the siblings .
They were scary monsters to other players . But to him, they seemed like innocent lambs, and they felt like his real siblings .
After the Martial King had announced that he had nothing to teach him anymore, Yeon-woo started to get ready to climb the Tower right away .
Of course, the Martial King probably still had some things to teach Yeon-woo .
But he thought that it was more important for Yeon-woo to learn and experience things for himself for his growth .

Since he had set a firm foundation, it was up to Yeon-woo to build on top of it .
So Yeon-woo began to move as the Martial King ordered him to,
However, Phante and Edora couldn’t budge because their work to finish creating a Legendary Beast hadn’t ended yet .
If they wanted to simply finish the trial, they could easily leave, but a lot was required of them to create a Legendary Beast, so they couldn’t just give up on it .
So while the two remained in the village to take care of their eggs, they were planning on catch up on their training as well .
Watching the players and the Summer Queen and Sword God fight each other, they felt the need to work harder .
But like it was a shame just letting him leave like this, Phante and Edora didn’t easily turn back .
Looking at them, Yeon-woo chuckled . And he patted Phante’s shoulder and spoke .
“I’ll slowly head up, so come quickly . ”
Yeon-woo put the good luck wishes of the tribe members behind him and left the One-horned tribe’s village .
But Yeon-woo didn’t head straight to the Tower .
He went on a detour to the marketplace outside of the Tower .
Past the crowds, the place he arrived was a humble smithy decorated with hammers and anvils .
It wasn’t too different than when he last saw it .
But unlike the shabby appearance from before, now, it was ringing with loud hammer noises and heat was coming through the door .
‘I ended up coming here . Should I go back?’
Yeon-woo stood still in front of the door and was deep in thought .
The place he had arrived was Henova’s smithy .
Actually, when he had left this place before, he didn’t plan on coming back here .
Thinking of the dangerous path he would walk on, he didn’t want to hurt Henova, like with what had happened to his brother .
But the reason why he came back was simple .
‘I hope he’s doing well . ’

Because he was curious .
And he thought he might be distressed by Bahal’s death .
Henova said he had cut off ties, but Bahal was one of his disciples whom he had taught how to deal with metal and fire . As much as he was affectionate towards his brother, that’s how much he opened his heart towards Bahal .
Yeon-woo had killed that Bahal . And the news that Bahal had died in battle in a war with Cheonghwado had already spread everywhere . Henova would definitely have heard the news .
Even if he couldn’t confess what he did to Bahal, he couldn’t help but worry about whether Henova was distressed or not .
So he had rushed over here . But upon arriving, it hesitated .
Yeon-woo repeatedly grabbed and let go of the door handle and eventually turned around with a sigh .
He thought nothing good would come of meeting him .
However .
Creak-
The door suddenly opened, and he was facing an iron-carrying Henova .
“What’s this? What are you doing there?”
Henova frowned .
Yeon-woo uncomfortably scratched his cheek with awkward eyes under the mask . It was weird heading back now that they had seen each other .
“It’s been a while, Henova . ”
