Chapter 67 – Elder Brother
“You arrogant….”
Just before the smiling goblin’s face turned grim, Lee Lee Se-min shouted loudly.
“By Badurbarok!”
The goblin looked down in anger, and when he recognized the character ‘nim’ at the end, his eyes teared up.
“Yours?”
“Because I really want to see John in person.”
“Huh, huh….”
Obviously, it’s just a saying. Just now, this human had a disrespectful expression and tone and told him to bring Badurbarok. It was not an attitude of respect for anyone.
However, he was Khaolak, a warrior from the Sawtooth tribe.
Even though everything had changed from before, mercy for the weak was still the number one virtue of the Sawtooth tribe.
“I’ll let you go for once. Don’t even mention Badurbarok’s name carelessly. If you do that….”
Khaolak looked back and said.
“Because these guys won’t listen to me.”
A huge demonic beast that was looking down at them growled and opened its dozens of eyeballs.
A cry resembling the sound of a boat horn shook the earth.
Lee Lee Se-min seemed to be able to understand that people from other worlds who were stronger than people from Earth were afraid of demonic beasts. The scale was different. Demonic beasts the size of a building were surrounding them, breathing wetly.
On the outside, the short Khao Lak was the most manageable.
“I see. Anyway, it’s too early to talk about him now. I just defeated old Germanos and toyed with him to become champion. I need time to think.”
“You played a trick on Germanos? Is that true?”
“Of course.”
“I heard he was a member of the emperor’s personal guard and an undefeated gladiator who was never defeated.”
“What does it mean to be the emperor’s personal guard or an undefeated gladiator?”
Lee Lee Se-min pointed at himself with his thumb.
“I am the peak.”
“Oh…”
Khaolak clapped his hands. He was also a warrior of the Sawblade Tooth tribe. I didn’t like the arrogant attitude of someone with that level of skill.
“I see. Anyway, Badurbarok is busy. He is carrying out conquest projects in places other than here. There is quite a bit of resistance.”
This time, Lee Lee Se-min’s eyes became sharper.
“Anything but here,” would mean the Earth. Looking at the expression that resistance is strong, it seems that it has not yet been completely destroyed.
Lee Lee Se-min nodded, recalling the image of the director trapped in the capsule.
“That’s why I left Sargasonia alone. Champion, what’s your name?”
“This is Lee Lee Se-min.”
“Lee Lee Se-min. I will wait for your decision.”
“You’re a polite goblin.”
“The Sawtooth tribe is polite. The only time we lose our manners is in battle.”
Khaolak grinned. As the lips were parted, the exposed teeth looked like saw blades, as the tribe’s name suggests.
“Lee Lee Se-min, you must be worried a lot, right?”
“That’s right. So give it a lot of time.”
“Don’t worry, we will give you not only time, but also help to make your decision easier.”
“Help?”
I could feel the nobles standing nearby getting nervous. Lee Lee Se-min looked sideways at them and then asked Khaolak again.
“What kind of help do you mean?”
“There are a lot of people around Sargasonia who couldn’t get in. It’s so crowded, can you think clearly?”
Lee Lee Se-min realized the meaning and opened his eyes wide.
“No way…”
Khaolak leapt from his seat. He rose high in the sky and landed on the head of the demonic beast standing behind him. Khaolak stuck out his face, looked down, and shouted.
“Until we return, choose wisely!”
The beast carrying Khao Lak turned and started to go back.
The others just stood there.
Lee Lee Se-min said while staring at the retreating beast and the back of Khaolak riding on it.
“Could it be that the reason these friends aren’t going is for the reason I think?”
“That’s right.”
Spina answered.
“So we should go in quickly, right?”
“Yes?”
“If you don’t want to get involved, let’s go.”
The nobles were turning around.
Lee Lee Se-min called them.
“You’re saying it goes back like this?”
“Lee Lee Se-min.”
Yuria was next to him and held his arm. His expression was dark.
“I can’t help it.”
The demonic beasts began to move.
A little distance away from the city’s outer wall, there were rows of shabby tents and buildings. This was a village of immigrants waiting for their turn to enter Sargasonia. Furthermore, the surrounding mountain ranges were dotted with small villages and cities.
Residents noticed the incident and fled.
The movement of the magical beasts became faster. Several individuals spread their wings, took off, and rushed towards them.
“You said you were planning to fight against Badurbarok, but you just left it alone?”
“Now is not the time. We haven’t found the throne yet and we don’t have enough power…”
Lee Lee Se-min shook off Yuria’s hand and walked forward.
“Lee Lee Se-min!”
The demon beasts sensed his life and began to turn around one by one. Lee Lee Se-min set up Rufus. The aura rose up in a wedge shape.
Lee Lee Se-min stood alone facing the army of demonic beasts.
Lee Lee Se-min’s aura glowed white in front of their shiny black bodies.
From afar, some of the demonic beasts could be seen attacking people. There was no more time to waste. Lee Lee Se-min cut Rufus horizontally while memorizing Wuju-ryu’s gugyeol.
Slow, slow, but firm sword.
Cracks appeared in the bodies of the demonic beasts standing in front, and soon the sections slipped.
However, like Fersen’s Heart Sword, it was not possible to erase everything.
The demons in the back row were wounded but not dead. On the contrary, he seemed to be even angrier because of that and began to scream and rush towards Lee Lee Se-min. Behind him, demonic beasts continued to jump out from the back row. Lee Lee Se-min raised a lot of aurors and resisted them.
Soon his white body, engulfed in aura, was surrounded by demonic beasts and became invisible.
The demonic beasts began crushing them with their huge bodies.
At that moment, white light leaked from the gap again and the demonic beasts fell away. The light was sharp and passed through the area. The demonic beasts were cut into pieces at the same time, scattering blood and debris.
Lee Lee Se-min swung his sword without hesitation and passed through the demonic beasts.
But there were limits. The number of demonic beasts was large, and their strength was not easy.
In particular, when huge magical beasts the size of buildings began to block Lee Lee Se-min, it was difficult to defeat them. Hands and feet with enormous mass came down towards Lee Lee Se-min. A crater appeared wherever he avoided it.
“Damn it.”
Lee Lee Se-min spit out a curse and grabbed Rufus.
Although he was wiping out the demonic beasts with Wuju Stream, there were too many for him to handle them all alone.
According to the old Earth method, each demon beast was at the level of a black mark. It was fortunate that Khao Lak, which could be considered a disaster level, did not directly participate in the war.
Lee Lee Se-min, who was dodging sideways, hit a bunch of tentacles and rolled on the floor.
Somehow the shape seemed familiar.
Black Castle was located behind the group of demonic beasts.
Lee Lee Se-min chuckled. Even after coming to the other world, the situation did not change much. He was strong, but there were too many cowardly or foolish people. So he had to step up and protect others.
“No matter where I looked in this world, I was always alone.”
Lee Lee Se-min hummed a song.
The magical beast blocking his path was torn apart. The huge body split open and blood poured out. Lee Lee Se-min dodged the filth and jumped up from the floor, slamming Rufus into the beast’s head.
“I walked my way shaking hands with the bitter loneliness.”
I tried to pull out the sword, but it didn’t work. As if the head muscles were tightening, the sword body began to be sucked in. I raised my aura to the fullest to pull it out.
That took time.
While he was retrieving the sword, the demonic beasts surrounded him again. Lee Lee Se-min could not move forward as he was blocked by the wall of demonic beasts. I could see people dying in the distance.
“Damn it!”
It was the moment when Lee Lee Se-min burst into anger.
Sword energy flew in and struck down the demonic beasts blocking Lee Lee Se-min.
The road had been opened.
When Lee Lee Se-min turned around, a familiar face was running there.
“Angel Lee Lee Se-min!”
It was the gladiator Shozen. A young man whose reputation was ruined by Lee Se-min because he was accused of being a pervert, had now ran out of the city to help Lee Se-min. The moment Lee Lee Se-min saw his face, he felt sorry.
“Shozen!”
“I came after hearing the story. I will open the way, so you must save the people first.”
“Can you stop it alone?”
Shozen grinned.
“Are you ignoring me?”
He was also a strong gladiator. Lee Lee Se-min nodded. After the decision had already been made, thinking any further was a waste of time. Lee Lee Se-min immediately started running, and Shozen dealt with the magical beast that blocked his path.
Still, it wasn’t feasible.
But Shozen wasn’t the only one who came to help him.
“Angel Lee Lee Se-min!”
There was a voice calling him again. When Lee Lee Se-min turned around, this time a grim face was running towards him.
It was Goulard.
He roared and swung his axe. Then a powerful energy passed through the area. The demonic beasts that had been blocking them collapsed.
“I am Gullard, a warrior of the wolf tribe!”
Fighting against demonic beasts was a task he was familiar with. Gullard quickly cut down the demon beasts. When he joined, Shozen also relieved his burden, and Lee Lee Se-min was able to get past the siege of the demonic beasts.
Lee Lee Se-min kicked the ground and ran.
The village had already been destroyed, and the residents were scattered here and there.
Those who could fight resisted with swords, but their numbers were small.
Every time the demonic beasts stretched out their feet, people were trampled and exploded. Lee Lee Se-min just killed two people by stepping on them and cut down the crying demon beast.
“Everyone run away!”
Lee Lee Se-min shouted and cleared out the demon beasts.
There were too many demons and too many people to protect. The demon beasts may had changed their strategy now, but rather than chasing the residents, they gathered together and started targeting the civilians and gladiators.
There was more bad news.
“I was trying to help you think, why are you interrupting?”
Khao Lak was back.
He jumped off the head of the demon beast he was riding and came back towards Lee Lee Se-min.
The demonic beasts around Lee Lee Se-min retreated.
“Do you really want to die?”
Khaolak’s words became shorter. He was no longer respectful. Lee Lee Se-min recalled what Khaolak said earlier.
‘The Sawtooth tribe is polite. The only time we lose our manners is when we are fighting.’
He held two axes that fit his small body and cried at Lee Lee Se-min. There was life in his eyes. Khaolak, which walked on two legs and looked similar to a small human at first glance, now truly looked like a magical beast.
“It seems like they’ve forgotten how important it is to become a champion in a small city that stayed away from us…”
When Khao Lak gave the signal, the horseman carrying him raised his head and began to cry loudly. The sound spread far away, as if it could reach the distant horizon.
“You have to know the topic.”
As soon as those words were finished, demonic beasts began to appear from the ridge surrounding Sargasonia. They came down the ridge and joined Khao Lak’s forces.
The number of demonic beasts increased several times.
It was an enormous army.
Lee Lee Se-min had never seen so many demon beasts.
Khaolak grinned.
“I tried to treat you kindly, but you are so arrogant, so I will open your head and make you loyal to Badurbarok.”
The siege expanded in layers. A huge number of people surrounded him. Lee Lee Se-min realized that he could not escape. There was a dark shadow and it was dark before my eyes.
Shozen and Gollard were thrown out among the demonic beasts.
The two wriggled on the floor. They were already in a mess after being attacked by the demonic beast.
“Lee Lee Se-min. Give me your head.”
Next to Khaolak, a demonic beast similar in size to him appeared. It had a hideous appearance, as if it was made of brains, and had countless long, thin tentacles extending out.
“It won’t be taken kindly, so I’ll have to kill it halfway first and then open its head.”
Seeing Khaolak spewing out deadly force and the demonic beasts looking down at him, Lee Lee Se-min realized that it was truly a crisis.
Lee Lee Se-min heard about lupus, but could not see a way.
The sun suddenly moved above his head, breaking through the demonic beasts and shining its rays on Lee Lee Se-min’s head.
The bright light reflected Lee Lee Se-min’s face like a mirror on Rufus’ sword body.
Yes, it was like a mirror.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s about cleaning the sword before the final battle. It’s a gladiator’s ritual. A great warrior of the Irontooth tribe would understand this much, right?”
“It’s a saw blade tooth.”
“Anyway.”
Lee Lee Se-min’s hand ran over the sword body. It was a very urgent move.
“Get up quickly. There is no time.”
“Just wait a moment.”
And at that time, a post was updated on the idle Transcendent Network bulletin board.

Title: Please save me
Please save me
“Eight!”
Khaolak put out his short leg and kicked Lee Lee Se-min. Lee Lee Se-min fell down while holding Rufus.
“Taking time doesn’t work.”
“Yes you bastard!”
Lee Lee Se-min jumped up and shouted.
Even though he was on the verge of death, Khaolak was embarrassed by his attitude of yelling and opened his eyes wide.
“Aren’t you a great warrior of the Irontooth tribe? Khaolak! How dare you interfere with the sacred ritual of a gladiator!”
“It’s a sawtooth! And you’re just wasting time!”
“I am! Huh? I am on friendly terms with your tribe’s great warrior Kirakk, huh?”
“What?”
In the past, just before crossing over to the other world, Lee Lee Se-min had a battle with the disaster beast goblin. There were heartbreaking sacrifices, but in the process, the goblins revealed the existence of Badurbarok.
Looking back, the goblin at that time called himself Kirakk, the great warrior of the Sawtooth tribe.
I sold his name because I thought we might know each other, and it worked.
“How do you know Kirakk?”
“Didn’t I tell you? We were friendly friends! Kirakk was someone who respected my gladiator rituals!”
“Don’t lie. Kirakk went to attack the second colony and lost contact. How can you, a human, know him?”
“I am from the second colony.”
“What?”
“Isn’t that a planet where science is developed?”
“How can you do that!”
“Just before he died, Brother Kirak asked me to pass on his will to his beloved younger brother named Khaolak. To keep my promise to him, I crossed the mountains and crossed the water and barely reached the level of the first colony here, but was tricked by the wicked wizard Killa and became a gladiatorial slave of Sargasonia.”
“……!”
“I never imagined that my brother’s younger brother, whom I just met, would be such a bastard without the pride of a warrior!”
Anyone who looked at Lee Lee Se-min’s unwavering eyes would mistake it for truth.
Even Khao Lak seemed to be no exception.
“Eight!”
However, he ran quickly and hit Lee Lee Se-min with a short leg again. Lee Lee Se-min fell once again and rolled on the floor.
“Don’t lie! Kirakk-sama has never even met me!”
“Ugh….”
It went too far.
Lee Lee Se-min wanted to slap himself for overdoing it. It seemed to work, so I started mixing in exaggerations, but a hole appeared in the setting.
“You bastard! How dare you even sell the name of Kirakk, the clan’s great warrior!”
“…….”
“Why don’t you make an excuse!”
Lee Lee Se-min closed his eyes and decided to exercise his right to remain silent.
“Yes, that’s right. It’s you. You’re the one who killed Kirakk! Not only that, you even insulted Kirakk’s name just to kill a few minutes!”
Lee Lee Se-min was surprised and denied it.
“Oh, no!”
“It’s true, seeing as you’ve hit the nail on the head and are getting angry!”
Despite his appearance, Khao Lak had extraordinary intelligence. He deduced the facts in an instant and even saw through Lee Lee Se-min’s tricks.
“I won’t just kill you.”
The demonic beasts sympathized with his emotions and let out terrible cries. It felt like my eardrums were shaking as countless demonic beasts surrounded Lee Lee Se-min and roared. Lee Lee Se-min took a step back holding Rufus.
At that time, Shozen, who had fallen, slowly got up.
There was a look of resignation on his face.
“Lee Lee Se-min. You told me.”
“Huh?”
“Fighting is the process of subordinating the enemy’s universe to my universe, and a swordsman must never waver.”
Shozen raised his sword, looked back at the demonic beasts, and grinned.
“Everyone dies. Lee Lee Se-min. It was an honor to work with a prosecutor like you.”
“Hey….”
Lee Lee Se-min tried to stop him, but he already had a death-ready look in his eyes. Lee Lee Se-min reached out to him, but Shozen had already turned his back on Lee Lee Se-min.
It was the same with Goulard.
“Run. And survive. You are not the one to die here. I see a guiding wolf in you.”
With those words, he stood side by side with Shozen.
Just because they rush in doesn’t mean Lee Lee Se-min can ran away. But still, they were attempting a last stand. The way he did not give up even in despair made Lee Lee Se-min blame himself.
Yes, they were right.
Lee Lee Se-min held Rufus. This situation will not be reversed just because one article was written on the Transcendental Network.
There was a long, long gap between him and the transcendents. They do not had an obligation to help the common people.
It’s just that the time had come.
Just as his precious people left in an instant, death came without warning.
If I had to die anyway, I wouldn’t be servile.
Lee Lee Se-min held Rufus and raised an aura.
I was just about to make a final struggle with them.
The wind.
It blew.
It was a cool breeze that was unbearable in this place surrounded by gigantic demonic beasts.
“Why are there so many?”
Lee Lee Se-min couldn’t move.
An intangible keeper was controlling the entire space.
“Are you Lee Lee Se-min?”
There was a wind and a voice playing freely inside. Lee Lee Se-min looked back.
I could tell who he was just by the way he spoke.
For some reason, my eyes became tearful.
“You didn’t come for no reason, right?”
Lee Lee Se-min nodded.
He looked like something Lee Lee Se-min had never imagined. Her curly light brown hair flowed softly, and her eyes were bright green. Her skin was flawless and the bridge of her nose was straight. There was a confident smile on his cool mouth.
A man of peerless beauty who would be enchanted even by a man like him.
“I have to have a drink with Lee Lee Se-min, but I’m in a hurry so all I have is a knife. Are you okay?”
Lee Lee Se-min couldn’t bear it anymore and hugged him tightly.
“Brother Fersen!”
Sword Demon Fersen, he had arrived.
He patted me on the back. Lee Lee Se-min felt like crying and buried his face in the hem of Fersen’s clothes.
At the moment of crisis, there was someone who rushed to save him.
It was an unfamiliar sensation to Lee Lee Se-min.
“Yes. You’ve worked hard. My brother doesn’t have much time.”
“Brother….”
“In the future, I will accumulate points and pay back to my brother. Understood?”
He ruffled Lee Lee Se-min’s hair, then pulled away from his body and moved forward.
Khaolak and the demon beasts were still unable to move.
After Fersen appeared, the entire space stopped. Everything was under his control. Even the air was blocked by his control and could not flow.
“Look carefully.”
Ferzen raised his sword.
It was a long sword with nothing special.
“I don’t know much about Dokgo Cheonma’s martial arts skills, but I’m sure they won’t be much different.”
The back view was the same as when Lee Lee Se-min saw it on the video bulletin board of the Transcendent Network.
In this simple task of looking straight ahead with his eyes, he breaks down the world and grasps their reality.
Soon the sword flowed.
Enemies began to be erased in a slow flow.
It was completely different from what you see in the video. Lee Lee Se-min could feel with his whole body the process of miracles occurring in the world. He didn’t simply swing his sword and erase the mountain.
The world was being deleted.
The demonic beasts that filled the surrounding area evaporated without a trace.
Lee Lee Se-min realized that Ferzen’s sword went beyond the Heart Sword and resembled a distant realm he had learned about through Ujuryu.
Everything was connected.
Once Fersen’s stroke was over, all that remained was Khao Lak, who had come forward.
He was unable to sit down on the floor and was trembling, looking at Fersen. The pupils were constantly shaking. He seemed to want to say something, but Fersen’s intangible guardian did not allow it.
As Ferzen approached Khaolak, his whole body trembled like an aspen.
Instead of cutting down Khaolak, Ferzen simply tapped the goblin’s bald head a few times and then looked back at Lee Lee Se-min.
It was a beautiful movement, like a painting.
“Lee Lee Se-min.”
A space opened above his head.
The gate was waiting for Fersen.
He annihilated the army of demonic beasts in one blow, and in return, he consumed all his pointed.
Couldn’t stay longer.
It was a short meeting.
“Don’t lose.”
Lee Lee Se-min gritted his teeth once, then looked at Fersen and nodded firmly.
“I will definitely repay this favor.”
“Are you coming?”
He disappeared, leaving behind a cool breeze, just like when he appeared here.
He was a man like the wind.
There was nothing where he left. The plains of Sargasonia had once again become vast, a goblin, Lee Lee Se-min, and two men were all that existed.
Only after Fersen disappeared were Shozen and Gollard able to move again.
“Angel Lee Lee Se-min. What about that just now….”
“Who was it?”
They couldn’t see much because they were frozen by Fersen’s power. All I knew was that someone suddenly appeared, organized everything, and then disappeared.
Even Fersen’s language was incomprehensible to those who had no connection to the transcendental network.
When they looked at Lee Lee Se-min and asked for an answer, Lee Lee Se-min grinned, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his hand.
“Just….”
Lee Lee Se-min walked forward and slapped the bald head of Khaolak, who was standing alone, and continued.
“I know this brother.”
***
Lee Lee Se-min returned to Sargasonia, dragging Khaolak with him.
The guards who were watching the battle inside the barrier saluted Lee Lee Se-min in respect. Since they were unable to see the inside of Lee Lee Se-min and his group after they were surrounded by demonic beasts, they thought that everything that happened was Lee Lee Se-min’s achievement.
“If you don’t send me back… Kiak!”
“If you use your mouth any more, I will keep hitting you.”
“It’s insulting….”
Lee Lee Se-min hit Khaolak on the head with his palm every time he opened his mouth.
“The nobles are waiting.”
As if they had heard the news, servants from noble families were waiting to take the people. Lee Lee Se-min shook his head and sent it away.
There was a lot going on today, so I just wanted to rest.
Lee Lee Se-min led Khaolak towards the Vatikaros gladiators. Shozen and Goulard each parted ways midway through. They left strange words to Lee Lee Se-min.
“Angel Lee Lee Se-min, I want to watch what path you take in the future.”
Shozen still preferred dialogue that sounded like the protagonist of a youth movie. It was a little cringy, but Lee Lee Se-min just nodded instead of teasing him, having seen his podium showing no fear of death.
“My eyes were not wrong.”
Gullard glared at Lee Lee Se-min with wide eyes, still calling him a guiding wolf, then nodded to himself and turned around. Goulard wasn’t a very normal person either.
Lee Lee Se-min looked at the last remaining Khaolak.
The residents of the street were afraid of goblins.
“What are you looking at? How dare you, a warrior of the Steel Tooth Tribe…?”
Lee Lee Se-min hit his head with his palm again. It felt soft and felt great in the hand.
“Stop hitting me!”
“You say there’s a lack of saw blade teeth?”
“Yes, I was confused because of you too.”
Lee Lee Se-min arrived at Vatikaros Street.
Today he defeated Germanos and became a champion, and was no longer a slave. But that doesn’t mean there’s nowhere else to go.
The guards of the Vaticaros family showed him respect and opened the way.
“Congratulations, champion.”
“You did an amazing job.”
“This is the basics.”
Several rumors about him were already floating around Sargasonia.
His fellow gladiators welcomed him and were frightened when they saw the goblin standing next to them. Khaolak’s pride was hurt and he emphasized how handsome he was from a goblin’s point of view, but was hit on the head again by Lee Lee Se-min.
“If you do something foolish, I will kill you.”
“…….”
Khao Lak, who was alone, was obedient.
Lee Lee Se-min lay down on the bed and held up a small hand mirror.
Khaolak looked at him with startled eyes, probably thinking he was admiring his face, but Lee Lee Se-min ignored him.
I thought about the Fersen I saw today.
It was strong.
Plus, surprisingly, he’s incredibly handsome.
It was a visual that could not be imagined from the tone of the Transcendent Network.
“As expected… it was strange that it even worked….”
In the past, Fersen had asked Lee Lee Se-min for advice on dating. Lee Lee Se-min, who had never been in a relationship, talked nonsense as much as he could, but Ferzen expressed his gratitude to Lee Lee Se-min, saying that he got a girlfriend through Lee Lee Se-min’s coach.
That was foreshadowing.
From the beginning, Fersen had a face that one could say anything about. Plus, the specs were outstanding. The strongest on the continent. He was truly a perfect man who came all this way to save Lee Lee Se-min because of his warm heart.
Lee Lee Se-min unconsciously smiled happily and accessed the transcendental network through the mirror.
And I was moved again.
