When a Genius Mercenary Regressed to get Revenge! - Manhwa Recap

The protagonist of this story gizan perum has a reputation for being an uncontrollable swordmaster a man stuck in his room out of his mind and to top it off the useless oldest son of count perum with all these glorified titles you might think he's just some spoiled brat but nope that's not the case at least not anymore and his opponent is finding that out the hard way this bearded bastard can barely believe his Eyes as he's getting his ass handed to him by this so-called useless son of a gun gizan on the other hand is

as cool as a cumber during the battle he's actually pretty glad that all the money he spent on setting this trap is finally paying off so he asks this bearded bastard if he's enjoying the surprise of course this infuriates the bearded bastard because it's like gizan knew exactly what was going to happen well gizan doesn't hesitate to own up to it It's not just that he knew his enemy plans he knew everything from the start he knew how many soldiers there were who the spies were and who helped this guy with reinforcements he knew literally

everything the bearded bastard can hardly believe it he starts shouting in disbelief he is mad that his Ace card has also been exposed by someone he thought was useless trash but gizen isn't having any of it he shuts the guy up with a solid kick to the face making It clear that this yapping fool can keep talking all he wants but no matter how many battles take place gizan is certain that he is going to win you might be wondering how he is going to win every time well it is because my guy literally knows

everything now let's rewind a bit almost a year ago in the Kingdom of Lithuania near the perum estate gizan perum wakes up to a shock he's alive but he shouldn't be he was supposed to be dead the last thing gizan remembers is Being in the middle of a losing battle facing off against one of the continent's top seven noble knights a guy named edun who was supposed to be the one to take him down gizan on the other hand was no slouch himself he held the title of one of the continent's top seven Mercenary Kings

known far and wide as gizen perum before ending gizan life Iden remarks how he did not expect to encounter the trash of a fallen perum household as far as edun knows gizan had Left the family after his sister's death so it seemed like his name had faded from memory gizan is surprised to hear this and asks this bastard how he knows so much about him in his past Eden claims that he had known this for a long time he'd worked tirelessly to track gizan down because he was one of them someone who had worked alongside

the deline household to bring the perum family to its knees the mention of one of them catches our boy off guard Because this means that it wasn't just the deline household behind the downfall of his family there were others involved and now one of them was standing right in front of him it was then that his disdain and thirst for Revenge skyrocketed and right at that moment Eden cut his head clean off but when our boy woke up he found himself in one piece even though his head was decapitated not only does he not have

a single scratch on his body but he also Looks quite young he starts looking around unsure of what's going on and right at that moment someone calls out to him with the title of young Master telling him to come on out this man is actually perum Soldier Ricardo but but the poor guy finds a sharp sword pointed at his neck while our boy demands that he quickly answer his questions of course the soldier on duty has no idea what's going on so he just agrees to answer anything his master asks of him Though he wonders

why his master has to point a sword just to ask a few questions well gizan is also quite surprised by this because he wasn't expecting this kind of reaction from someone he considers an enemy Ricardo quickly Yanks himself out of his master's grasp reminding him that he tired himself out from his tantrum earlier and fell asleep he was stressed out about about how he is going to command the group to raid the Orcs as You can imagine this doesn't make any sense to our boy while the soldier tells him to grab his stuff and get

out because the people are waiting for him outside our boy has no clue where they're going to which Ricardo reveals that they're heading to the perum estate the mention of his family name completely baffles him because as far as he remembers the perum estate had fallen as they reach the place gizan takes a bird's eyee view from the hill which Clears up any lingering doubts that it's definitely the perum estate even though he had already seen it reduced to ashes back then Ricardo under his breath tries to inquire why our boy keeps calling his own

house a fallen one as he might get kicked out if the count hears it just like any sane person gizan pinches his cheek to see if he's dreaming but well the pain is very real so he guesses he's not he reflects on how he now has a younger face his estate is also in good Shape and if he can piece all things together this only means he's traveled back to the past you see his younger self resented the household and the immaturity born from feeling inferior led to trouble as more time passed more people from

the household started to avoid him and he couldn't withstand the criticism so he ran away from home but several years later he became a mercenary he survived countless battles built up his skills and made a name for Himself he returned to the perum country to make up for his past mistakes but by the time he got back his household had already been crushed to dust so our boy lost everything but it's all still here once again all the people he held dear are still here he can barely contain his excitement to see that he's gotten

another shot at life but it's too early to Rejoice from what he's learned from Ricardo they're here to raid the Orcs he vividly remembers that day it was the Day most of the people in his raid Squad would die in his past life he had followed the orc raid Squad in an attempt to make a name for himself at that time the report had said there were only three Orcs so gizan had thought it would be easy enough for someone like him who had no experience commanding a squad but when he got there there were

more than 20 Orcs almost all of them ended up dying because of his foolishness and stubbornness right now My guy is confident that it should be doable enough since those Orcs don't really have a strategy but the problem is whether his soldiers will trust him considering they all think he's some useless bastard it looks like he does not have any time to prepare because a watchtower is just obliterated as The Horde Of Orcs comes charging in my guy is absolutely boggled out of his mind at the sight because he was not expecting these damned creatures

to attack so Early the Orcs are literally demolishing the soldiers left and right and each orc is strong enough to take down multiple foot foot soldiers on its own without much effort The Raid Squad Commander scov also jumps into the scene and tells everyone to get into a defensive formation but it doesn't seem like any formation or strategy would work against these brute monsters who are literally slaughtering people left and right even scov is sure they're screwed because Seriously getting ambushed when they weren't even prepared at all is just brutal not only that but there

are way more of these damned monsters than expected and the way things are going he's certain they're all going to die for sure suddenly someone calls out to the commander and when he turns around he notices a massive monster about to crush him with its axe it seems like the commander doesn't have much time to move away to save his life that's when our Guy launches himself and Yanks the commander away then brutally cuts through the monster's hand like it's nothing more than a cucumber everyone is absolutely jawd dropped to see how effortlessly gizan pulled

off that move after all he is supposed to be a trash the monster finally falls down while gizen feels annoyed that his body still can't use Mana he then walks back to the commander extends his hand and demands the Commander's rights but it seems like The commander doesn't think some useless idiot should be commanding the soldiers when everyone's life is on the line so he flatly refuses he further asks our boy if he actually thinks this is some kind of game even if gizan is the young Master scov simply just can't give up the authority

that the lord gave him that easily well our guy already figured that no one would trust him and he's pissed another monster comes charging at them but scen quickly gets in the middle Of things since he considers our boy an inex experienced idiot to lead their troops well it looks like gizan has no choice but to show these damned fools what he's got so he sends his sword flying at the monster with Godly speed the commander quickly starts to berate gizan for the insubordination but his yapping is immediately shut up when he notices that the

orc charging at them has been dealt with with literally a single Blow from The Sword it drops dead Right away of course this leaves the bastard looking like he's going through some serious constipation meanwhile our Guy questions this fool if he even knows the most important thing in battle of course the commander doesn't know since he's the actual useless trash here so gizan shifts his attention to the terrified soldiers and reminds scov that there's no hope in winning a battle when their troops are filled with fear the first thing they should be doing is to

Gain momentum with that said our guy dashes once again grabs his sword that was lodged in the monster's head and leaps into the air he lands right on top of another orc and thrusts his sword into the monster's skull scov can barely believe his eyes but our boy on the other hand just tells all the monsters to just come at him if they want to be killed of course These Foolish creatures quickly start charging at our boy and he swings his sword like a ninja on caffine Cutting through every one of these bastards who tries

to get in his way his speed movements reflexes everything is so fast and everything is happening so quickly that scov has no reaction but to stare in utter disbelief even as a Mana User it's hard for him to do anything so how that skinny young Master is even doing all of this though scen can tell that our boy is getting tired he's still using the smallest of movements to dodge attacks and his swordsmanship is Striking their weak spots like a manaless swordmaster or perhaps even something greater but our guy isn't ready to give up yet

he tries to trigger these mindless Monsters by asking if this is all they've got since they're not living up to their reputation as a warrior species the other soldiers also stare in utter disbelief seeing that all the Orcs are charging at the Young Master everyone calls to their Commander for his next order but this bastard is Too cowardly to show the courage our boy is displaying he can't get over the fact that our boy boy ran into a group of Orcs And Drew their attention in order to make them chase him he doesn't seem to

understand why he is running now and why he's running toward the edge of a cliff it doesn't take long for him to realize that gizan is planning to send those Orcs plummeting off the cliff acting fast he orders his troops to raise their Shield wall as they prepare To follow the young Master's lead meanwhile the Orcs are hot on our boy's heels he's pretty sure skoven being a skilled Commander will figure out his plan although he'd love to slice all those Orcs down himself his crappy stamina won't allow it still this idea is not bad

either once he finally reaches the edge of the cliff the Orcs notice soldiers position behind them in a defensive stance without hesitation our boy jumps off the cliff signaling to Scov Van to execute the plan the soldiers charge at the monsters and with one push the Orcs are sent tumbling off the cliff to their bloody deaths the effort pays off and every last one of them is taken out the soldiers are left exhausted but scov is completely stunned when he notices our boy still hanging onto the cliff side his sword lodged into the Rock despite

the situation there's not a hint of fear on his face just a confident smirk aimed straight at His Commander for a moment the big mustached scen is startled but then he breaks into a proud smile he quickly extends his hand but it's too short to reach the young master and the grip our boy had on his sword eventually loosens the boy starts to fall leaving everyone bewildered by this unexpected turn of events meanwhile gizan begins to descend into the realm of unconsciousness where he hears his sister's voice and fragments of memories of her he's not

Sure what's going on and right at that moment his sister grabs his hand and he is yanked out of his dream he wakes up to find himself in bed and the first thing that comes to his mind is how he's even alive he tries to sit up but his entire body hurts like hell from the movements making him crawl up in pain his whole body aches it must be the consequence of pushing his limits at least this pain assures him that he is alive right at that moment a maid walks Into the room looking quite

happy to see her master awake it doesn't take our boy long to recognize her as Belinda while the girl expresses her frustration through her words talking about how much stress he's caused her that's when giz Lin rushes at her and hugs her tightly she has no clue why he's acting like this but we all know he's just glad to see her again after so many years you see she used to be his personal maid Belinda had been by his side since he Was little despite the mess he used to cause she was the only one

who stayed with him but after the family fell to ruin she went missing and he never thought he'd get to see her again like this that's when he decides to tell Belinda the truth he starts dropping some serious truth bombs saying that a catastrophe will soon strike perum and that the truth is he died and came back to life but of course Belinda doesn't take him seriously she agrees that the Orcs nearly killed him but she doesn't believe his wild story he tries to explain it to her again but she just starts berating him for

his Reckless moves eventually he decides to give up since she's not going to believe him anyway she reminds him of the upcoming Festival something he might have missed if he were injured the mention of the festival catches our boy offg guard and seeing his clueless reaction the lady de decides to remind him that lady Elena Has been waiting for the day to go to the festival with him it would be a great chance for the two siblings to get close to each other again finally gizan remembers that there was always a festival around this time

of year and in his past life he didn't have time to enjoy it because of his traumatic experiences he then asks her how much time left before the festival starts to which she responds that since it's next week he has about a week left the fact That he remembers this seemingly random Festival is because it was the day A traumatic tragedy Happened One that haunted him for the rest of his life apparently on the day of the festival his sister Elena is supposed to die with the speak of the devil his sister enters the room

and our guy rushes to hug her as soon as he can the young lady is bewildered to see such a passionate hug coming from her brother out of the blue she starts to blush and asks him if he's Trying to pull some kind of prank but little does she know his brotherly love for her is sincere but since he's not letting go the lady herself Yanks him out of her Embrace this leaves gan's weakling body struggling for a moment because his sister has got some crazy strength it seems like Elena and he don't get along

because she flat out makes it clear she's only here to visit him because Belinda invited her apparently these two siblings don't have The best relationship and Elena vividly remembers the time he insulted her of course gizan is pretty clueless about when he insulted her but now that he remembers he realizes he wasn't exactly close with Elena in his past life let's be real he was kind of a total piece of trash so he actually apologizes which catches both ladies completely off guard gizan admitting his mistakes is totally unheard of naturally they assume it must be

because he got smacked around by the Orcs And received some brain damage but my guy shuts that down real quick saying he actually did get them right at that moment though pain shoots through him and he doubles over this gives Elena the perfect chance to mock him even more as it's pretty clear who really got who as much as those remarks might seem a bit sharp they're not really insulting at all in fact gizen feels totally warmed by their characters and smiles in response thinking everyone is exactly as He remembers them he can't help but

wonder why the old hymn wasted so much time on pointless things you see during the festival next week gizan rejected Elena's offer to go together and made an excuse that the events from the raid Squad had upset him that was the last time he saw her and after that Elena's body was found shredded to Pieces along with her bodyguards even to this day gizen regrets not being with her at that time suddenly a knock on the door Catches their attention it's a bunch of knights apparently her bodyguards the the guy with dark brown hair is

Jamal and the one standing just behind him is Phillip Elena asks why they've come since they were told to wait outside the man apologizes and says that the servants want her to oversee their work on the festival supplies hearing this gizan gets confused he wonders why they'd ask Elena to do that Belinda once again seems a bit disappointed to see Gizan acting clueless so she reminds him that there's a shortage of workers in perum and even the young lady needs to help out this is actually news to gizan because back then he never really cared

about was going on so it's obvious he doesn't know now that he's here though he decides to help out once again his little sister is surprised to hear this and both of the girls wonder if he really did get hit over the head later we arrive at the bustling Festival area Where everyone is rushing to prepare their stalls before the festival kicks off but all of them start getting a bit creeped out when they hear that gizan wants to help too meanwhile his sister is still trying to push him away asking how they can treat

someone who wants to help the best way he can help she says is to stay out of their way and out of trouble but gizen is not ready to leave her alone here her body was found near the slums far from the festival grounds Someone must have called her out there or forcibly moved her to prevent that from happening again he needs to learn the ins and outs of the castle first right at that moment a knight comes rushing in calling out to gizan it's one of the knights known as old man Fergus the old

man is out of breath but doesn't take a moment to rest he starts crying mentioning How concerned he was when he heard about the orc incident his sister chimes in too mentioning how he's been Acting really strange lately she thinks it' be better if Fergus takes him back well it looks like gizan has no choice but to give in he tells the old man to take him to the abandoned training field in the castle the old man asks a bit curiously why he wants to go there giz Lin just responds that he wants to train

the big mustached man is not sure what the young Master is up to but he doesn't question gizenk judgment any further he takes him to the training Hall upon Entering the first thing gislin notices is that the training Hall is in much better condition than he expected it's perfect location for him to train and the equipment is something he's never seen even in his mercenary days the old man explains that they've kept it maintained in case gizan ever wished to use these facilities the old man has always had faith that gizan would recover from whatever

mental struggle he's been going through seeing how Concerned the old man is our boy is forced to reflect on how much the old man has tried to help him all along he literally had no clue about any of this and now he feels sad for not realizing it sooner he then gives the old man a pat on the shoulder and assures him that dying feels like crap so he plans to live long enough as usual the old man is bewildered to hear him talk as if he's already experienced life and death but gizan quickly agrees

casually telling Him that he did in fact die and was resurrected but of course the old man finds this nonsense anyhow gizan decides to start training dismissing the old man and telling him he can go seeing Fergus paying so much respect to him gizan reflects on how he's always treated everyone around him like they were his enemies but now looking back he realizes he was just shortsighted whatever the case gizan gets back to the main work he has to do in his previous life he has Heard that one behind Elena's death was a lord from

a neighboring territory because of that perum got caught up in a war which eventually led to its downfall Elena's death was essentially the starting point for his House's collapse this means he needs to set things right from here on out first things first he needs to get a better physique it sucks that he doesn't have a lot of time but he's sure he can at least get control over his mana mana is a supernatural Resource that allows humans to break through their limits and most people say that noticing and absorbing Mana is the hardest part

but for gizan he was able to do that even on the chaotic Battlefield he has to connect the Mana particles floating in the air and bundle them up almost like spinning a spool for someone like him who's experienced thousands no tens of thousands of battles creating a manacor is a piece of cake but if it were that easy he Wouldn't be part of the strongest seven of the land using the method from that half bured book on Magic he picked up and with the natural man core humans have gizan is able to create a second

and even a third he connects them in a mesh of multiple cores to create an explosive force all this pushing his limits causes blood to leak from his mouth and nose his face drenched in sweat I guess he's reached his current limit although he was able to reach five Cores in his past life this technique is all about creating an explosive force in a short time the catch is that it requires an extremely large amount of Mana in return this was the main reason he lost to Eden in his past life who had brought an

entire night order when he was already out of Mana if it had been a fair fight he definitely would have won the technique is inherently unstable but for now it's good enough besides this time he has a youthful body and plenty Of time to master it he's determined that he'll claim Eden's head this time and those bastards backing house Deli who helped destroy their country they're going down too fast forward a week and the day of the festival finally arrives our boy is ready fully equipped and walking through town with unshakable confidence but as he

strolls he spots his sister standing there who is surprised to see him she's shocked that her brother who's never been a fan of Festivals actually showed up not only that but he's been acting super odd lately and she's heard he's done nothing but train for the past week gizan tries to brush it off reminding her that as the next in line of a night family training is just a natural thing for him but she throws a brutal curveball reminding him how he's always hated the idea of being Lord which is one of the main reasons

he never got along with their father despite the jab she starts To walk away with a smile over her face as she is glad to see him finally acting like he was supposed to her remark forces gizan to reflect on how his actions have started to change not just how people perceive him but also the trajectory of his future the general flow of events might still be the same but it's becoming harder to gauge the impact of his actions on the smaller details making good use of his knowledge of the future is now his responsibility

And he needs to respond to each situation effectively with that said he is ready to face his sister's Killers later he spends time with his sister staying on high alert after a while though Elena gets tired commenting that there's nothing special about the festival it's just like every other year meanwhile gizan is deep in thought realizing the festival is almost over and yet nothing significant has happened this leads him to believe that maybe the Future has shifted because he's been sticking close to Elena but just as that thought crosses his mind her bodyguards show up

they suggest taking her to a livelier area of the festival to have some fun as they begin escorting her away gizan quickly pieces things together he deduces that it must be these bastards the traitor of their house Elena's escort Knights Jamal and Phillip are the most trusted Knights In The Family they've been protecting Elena Since she was a child and it was known that they were murdered while protecting her in gizenk past life but now gizan has lingering doubts it must be a trap and he is sure that these guys are the traitor of their

house so he decides to follow the knights the place they arrive at is completely empty which leaves Elena clearly annoyed and she starts complaining while she complains giz Lin suspicions grow even stronger at first the street might seem like a simple Deserted one but looking at the way the obstacles block the Escape Routes it's clear that preparations were made in advance he's soon shaken out of his thoughts when his sister starts dragging him with her seeing how strong her grip is gizan can't help but to ask her if she has been hitting the gym lately

because she is too strong for a young lady but just then Jamal stops her and the look on his face makes it clear that he doesn't have good intentions Elena Starts to shiver and begins to panic wondering why they're acting so strange Jamal quickly apologizes for the scary look but then his expression twists into something even more unsettling he tells her that he just wants her to wait a little longer it's only a small request Elena feels scared and hopeless and just at that moment someone walks into the scene it's a guy with glasses followed

closely by two of his goons the guy's name is Frank and he's clearly pleased To see how effectively Jamal has executed the plan he then questions Jamal about gizan because he does not remember requesting this sucker to be here Jamal reassures his boss that he'll take care of this brat and that Frank doesn't even need to pay for it he explains that gizan foolishly followed his sister without realizing he was walking straight into his own grave finally gizan speaks up the first thing he wants to ask this filthy bastard how He is going to get

away after betraying perum family the bastard just Snickers with little to no fear claiming that all he has to do is run away to some far off place besides he's tired of this poverty-stricken land that's already been torn apart by barbarians he's sure that it's not just him but plenty of others want to leave perum too but before he can finish speaking my guy cuts him off instead of words blood pours from his mouth the sight is enough To shock everyone watching as the Traer falls to the ground in two pieces my guy looks at

him Furious he reminds this sucker that even if people are leaving this place they never betrayed them he is absolutely livid and shoots a deadly glare at the other bastard who in a panic pulls Lena closer hoping to escape the same fate as his friend but well he doesn't make it a sword pierces his skull and the bastard trembles choking on his last breaths the lackes who came With Frank start second guessing whether they should even fight what baffles them more is if this guy is really the eldest son of perum as far as they

know he doesn't have any real Combat experience or basic training Frank though is convinced he's the eldest son but he still can't wrap his head around how this guy managed to take down two men so effortlessly and more shocking his attacks were infused with Mana meanwhile the girl clings to her brother trembling But he knocks her out with a quick hit to her neck telling her to take a little rest Frank the bastard shows his gratitude to our guy for taking down the two knights claiming they were planning to handle them themselves he even compliments

our guy on his god-like skills and can't help but ask where he learned them but gizen is not obligated to reply to them so he shuts them down immediately reminding them that it is none of their business he then sizes Them up three in total but only the one in the middle is radiating any significant Mana but whatever the case my guy is ready to finish this quickly before making a move he demands to know who hired them for the ambush Frank with a smug grin brushes off the question implying that someone about to die

shouldn't care about such things well gizan knows these bastards Won't Give Up the information easily but he has his own ways of making them talk one of the Lackey suggests severing his head but the boss shuts him down because he wants him alive as he plans to break every limb in his body until he's completely helpless his goal is to leave him in agony unable to do anything but writhe in pain believing that the suffering must be as drawn out and excruciating as possible with with that the two of the goons charge at him anticipating

this gizan pulls out a firecracker and throws at them the unexpected move from our boy Startles one of the lackes for a split second leaving him confused as to why someone would use a firecracker that brief moment of distraction is all gizan needs in the blink of an eye he strikes killing one of the goons instantly the second Lackey charges next but gizan is ready he quickly blocks the attack with ease disarms the attacker and Yanks the sword from his hands finally he follows through cutting the man down as if it's nothing as soon as

the Lackey drop their Leader doesn't waste any time and tries to attack our guy from behind like a coward but my guy's reflexes are on another level and he blocks the attack without much effort the bastard is left stunned realizing his nearly perfect sneak attack has been completely ruined not wasting any time my guy decides to retaliate he moves so fast with his sword that Frank barely has time to react the sword Cuts deep across the bastard's throat and the pipe he had in His mouth falls to the ground the bastard tries to recover and

launches another attack but once again my guy blocks it with ease Frank quite frankly admits that his throat would have been completely sliced if he hadn't used Mana even my guy is impressed realizing that this bastard concentrated all the Mana around his neck to reduce the damage it's insane how he managed to pull that off that's when Frank finally decides to show what he's really got gripping his Sword as tightly as he can he launches himself at our boy but then he notices the grin on our boy's face that grin catches him off guard for

a moment it's almost like my guy wanted this to happen and that's when gizan overpowers this bastard and lands a solid kick straight to his face Frank manages to land on his feet instead of tumbling over and smirks claiming that with his Mana levels that kind of move won't work but then he's proven dead wrong when he suddenly Starts coughing up a copious amount of blood Frank's face twists in confusion as he has no idea what just happened even with thick Mana reinforcing his entire body he's in disbelief how did gizan manage to pierce through

his enhancement with sheer skill alone meanwhile gizan thinks about how he never found out about the culprit behind his sister's death but now that he knows he's ready to make this bastard pay he warns Frank to prepare for the worst With that gizan activates his third core the bastard just stares in disbelief but he doesn't have time to process it because gizan is already in his face the two Clash at a speed so intense that all you can see are the trails left by their blades Frank is giving it everything he's got but it's clear

he can't keep up his hands are already going numb and no matter how much Mana he draws it's not enough his sword begins to crack under the pressure he's never heard of a Technique that can boost Mana so explosively let alone with this level of precision it's like gizan has become a completely different person and that different person lands a devastating blow that gives a nasty cut on Frank's Body but gizan isn't done yet he drives his blade into his sister's killer with full force but he doesn't let him die there are burning questions he

needs answered through gritted teeth he demands to know who ordered the hit on Elena but it looks like gizan isn't about to get his answers easily from this bastard the sucker quickly pulls out these sneaky ninja daggers but before he can throw them at Elena some sort of threads block his hand from moving further and the one holding those threads is our boy gizan decides to give this bastard another chance to talk if he answers everything right he promises to sheath his sword meanwhile Frank's mind is once again officially blown when He realizes that the

threads our boy is controlling are made of Mana meanwhile gizan is sure someone of his caliber would know how to patch himself up but well not that it would matter if my guy destroys this bastard's an aor so without a second thought gizan starts pouring some magic energy into the sword he's already stuck in the bastard's belly the bastard screams in pain as he feels his Mana core shattering this is one hell of a move our guy is pulling Off because one wrong step and the backflow of Mana could cause an explosion and blow this

whole area to Pieces it literally feels like gizan is trying to self-destruct but you see my guy isn't some unskilled amateur he can handle it pretty easily even this long-haired bastard can tell that gizan isn't bluffing with the way things are going he knows he's as good as Dead when he stares into gizenk eyes all he sees is a bloodthirsty Reaper so Frank Decides to be a little wise for once and finally slips out the name of count Desmond the real Mastermind Behind These assassination orders he further admits that this whole setup is supposed to

be a pretext to start a war against perum and degard families seems like gizen doesn't have a good impression of this name because in his previous life such underground work was left to the families allied with the dukal houses and if his guess is right he is sure That it's Duke deline who orchestrated this nonsense anyhow the fact remains that this glasses guy was here to take his sister's life so my guy makes sure to take this bastard down as well to get his revenge from his previous life Frank is in disbelief thinking gizan is

backing down from his previous words but our hero just reminds this bastard of all the sins he's committed so this sucker has no right to feel terrified when it's finally his turn to become the Victim but to our boy's surprise the bastard begins snickering even in his last breaths this bastard is sure that nothing will change even if our boy kills him since he's already finished the work with the degard family he makes it clear that perum will perish due to the war no matter what gizan quickly puts his hand over this bastard's filthy mouth

to stop him from yapping he lets this [ __ ] in on a secret that he has reawakened after dying so he's not about To let the past repeat itself this time those were the final words Frank heard before our guy cranked up the manacore shattering process the Mana inside back flows and gizen directs it into the sky causing it to explode with a big bang like some twisted firework gizan is also out of breath but at least all of the people involved have already been dealt with he then takes notice of his unconscious sister

who seems safe and sleeping soundly as he just closes his Eyes to relax his muscles a mouthful of blood leaks from his mouth and he doubles over because of the pain he reflects that exploding three cores wasn't an issue at all back when he was the mercenary King but his weak body is limiting his potential this time but this is still not enough to make him back down he quickly rushes to a nearby home where he finds a dead body in his previous life the officials had found another body besides Elena at this place And

according to what Frank said earlier this body is apparently the son of degard there's also another dead body the escort Knight who was killed in the process this is apparently how the perum family in his previous life came to the conclusion that degard family must be the one involved in the assassination of Elena the moment these bodies were found the war would start so gizan decides to leave no evidence behind after torching the entire house he takes his sister and Begins to walk away that that's when we notice this [ __ ] cap guy in

the shadows keeping an eye on our boy later he arrives at the Council of all the Shady people running this game and reports back that the mission has failed it goes without saying that the big shots are not thrilled to hear this and the hooded guy tries to argue that it was all because of gizen perum the name catches their attention because how could a useless bastard from the north Pull off such a big move one of the big shots also claims that as far as he knows gizan is a useless piece of [ __

] so he's not sure why this reporter is using him as an excuse for their fail Mission but the guy tries to argue that gizan was completely different from the information and rumors they had about him the way he handled everything with such finesse made him feel like a completely different person he tries to assure his Masters that he has already Taken care of things with degard so starting the territorial War won't be an issue he begs for one more chance to prove himself but the big shot gets angry because the setback from this failure

has caused immense trouble and everyone in the council is losing their minds over it they all collectively tell this bastard to just eliminate that that bastard gizan that's when the big shot among the big shots speaks up and breaks the tension he asks the hooded guy how He plans to handle that kid to which the hooded guy states that he's going to make a duel happen naturally and the one who is going to fight against gizan is quite powerful they ask who that guy is to which the hooded guy explains that his name is Cain

loes and he's famous for his strength-based swordsmanship despite his young age he is the epitome of strength and he's confident that there is no one in the north who can match his power not to mention Kane is Is's cousin so the hooded guy is sure it won't feel forced to have them meet everyone goes silent as they begin to consider this plan the big shot however makes it clear that if this Mission also ends in Failure there will be no next time terrified the hooded guy quickly promises to deliver promising results this time the scene

transitions to the perum castle Training hall where we see Fergus who is here to announce meal time to our boy that's when Fergus notices a Rope of Mana coming at him it grabs the sword hanging right beside him and the Mana rope quickly starts retracting back back with the sword attached to it after enough practice gizan is glad to see he's making progress that's when he notices the old man who promptly bows his head in front of our boy apologizing for interrupting the training session but the old man can't hide his curiosity and asks how

gizan just did that gizan nonchalantly explains that it's Mana Threads using Mana like string in his previous life he used it all the time but at his current skill level he needs to implode his core to use it like he used to because he currently lacks enough Mana however if he just makes one thread to use less Mana my guy is confident he can still use it effectively despite having a limited supply of Mana Fergus is sure he's trained his Mana for a long time but he's never seen anything like this Before now that the

old man thinks about it he remembers that just a while ago gizan didn't even use Mana let alone train with it he can't figure out how our boy came up with the idea of using Mana like this anyhow Fergus snaps his attention back to the task he came for he humbly tilts his head slightly and expresses his gratitude for protecting the young lady but gasan doesn't see any need for anyone's gratitude she's his sister and he would have done the same Unconditionally a few days pass after that and the festival is paused it only makes

sense since a guardian Knight tried to traffic the young lady we then meet Elena whose face is far from Pleasant she seems quite annoyed that no one believes her when she says gizan is the one who saved her she asks her brother why he doesn't try to convince them to which my guy just shrugs it off he doesn't care and besides they wouldn't believe him either Belinda's Blood is boiling just thinking about how the culprit were actually Jamal and Philly the ones who tried to take Elena out whatever the case gizan is glad his sister

survived and that he was able to stop the war from happening but he is sure that those bastards won't give up that easily and he can't stop them on his own forever so he needs to grow his military force right at that moment a maid arrives with food when the maid serves him gizan finds it odd that he is Being served a dry piece of bread instead of something delicious he asks Belinda about it to which she explains that it's one of the consequences of the recent mess right then a fat sucker starts screaming out

loud demanding compensation for the damage caused by the festival's cancellation and it's not just one fatty there's a whole group of merchants protesting outside the castle their demand is simple they want compensation for their losses our boy Looks out the window and inquires about the angry mob that's when Belinda reminds him that this country is full of merchants who make a living from the profits brought in by the festival last year the merchants had a great season but since the festival was canceled after just one day it makes sense that their curious gizan didn't realize

until now just how badly his country is doing economically he knows that if he doesn't meet the merchants demands the situation Will only get more aggressive so he tells Fergus to command the soldiers to calm the angry mob down but the old man casually replies that they don't have any soldiers he explains that most of them have been dispatched to the forest of monsters for reconstruction because of the damage caused by the orc raid well it seems like gizan situation is even more dire than he had thought you see perum is basically in a state

of Eternal War to the north they constantly Have to deal with barbarians and on the other side there's the forest of monsters from which monsters can appear at any moment since he doesn't have money he won't have soldiers either which only adds to his worries he takes Belinda with him for a talk and under his breath he reminds her that since she's the one managing his money they need to calm the merchants down somehow but the lady breaks it down to him that there is no money left when he asks why She reminds him that

the Lord cut off his allowance because he always spent the money like water the thought of of being broke disgusts him so he demands that she lend him some money but the lady says she doesn't have any either all the odds seem to be against him no money no soldiers what the hell does he even have without even the smallest amount of money there's nothing he can do even with his knowledge of the future he's going to need funds first to make Any of it work just as he's thinking about it Ricardo comes rushing in

at full Sprint he's completely out of breath and our boy quickly asks him what's going on and why he's in such a hurry Ricardo practically shouting at the top of his lungs says there's a problem apparently young Master C wishes to see our boy The Mention Of C catches gizan off guard that's when we see one of our boys Knights Commander scov getting absolutely destroyed by Cain Can's jacked up muscles and sheer strength are literally crushing the knight's face like it's a tomato each punch lands with the force of a hammer and it's clear Cain

isn't holding back the last punch finally knocks the poor Knight out cold gizan arrives just in time to see his Knight on the ground totally injured the look on giz Lan's face makes it clear that our Bo is not thrilled to see his Knight in such a state anger burning in his eyes he turns To face his cousin the bastard in front of him is so huge that gizen literally looks like a puny Punk the smile on the big guy's face is even terrifying along with this jacked up dude there's also his escort Knight you

see the heir of the loes county with whom house perum had an alliance is Cain loes he was both gizenk only friend at the time and his enemy the big guy walks toward gizan after beating up his Knight but gizan doesn't Flinch he calmly asks Ricardo What exactly led to this situation Ricardo quickly explains that they responded to a report of a disturbance at a Tavern where they found Cain and his escort Knight it is when Cain asked Commander scov if the rumors about young Master gizan were true so commander scov explained the details of

the rumors about our boy but that's when Cain grabs the commander by the mouth because Cain believes the commander is lying under his breath and he would not tolerate Someone lying in front of the air of logis with that Ricardo wraps up the flashback at that moment kan's escort Knight speaks up since Ricardo isn't telling the full truth he decides to explain it himself according to him Commander skoven claims that giz lane who never even trains took down an orc with his bare hands and dealt with the traitorous escort Knights all by himself that's why

skoven got beaten up which was meant to be a wake-up call for him For his lies the Knight smugly claims that none of this would have happened if scov hadn't lied in the first place gazan doesn't speak out loud but in his thoughts we learn how much he hates Cain apparently Cain used to be his subordinate and whenever he visited perum he always caused a mess even after causing all that trouble no one could say anything because he was basically one of the Allies for house perum no one ever looked down on Cain unlike gizan

Who always had an inferiority complex Cain's confidence and bold demeanor were praised as qualities befitting of an heir which is why our boy was criticized more let's now turn our attention to C's perspective this big jackass is amazed at how much patience gizan is showing because usually he would have charged at him with this much provocation we then flashed back to a little while ago in Lois County there Cain got an order to kill gizan the one who gave him the Order was the same hooded guy who had gotten a lot of slack from his

leaders for failing his previous Mission the hooded guy promised Cain that if he succeeded in this task the esteemed one would support the loes family Cain assured him that he could easily defeat gizan since he was just a weak brat but what bothered Cain was that gizan was also an heir to this land so he wasn't sure how he was going to eliminate him without complications the hooded guy Suggested they could lure giz into a duel making it look like an unfortunate accident it would simply appear as a trivial dispute between heirs the hooded guy

also promised to support Cain by disguising himself as an escort Knight to orchestrate the situation so there would be no need for concern the thought that he gets to kill his own cousin fascinates Cain and the bastard agrees with this right away in the present Cain is thinking about why they want gizan Eliminated he wonders if perhaps gizan has changed a little and that's the reason for the order but in any case Cain proceeds with the plan in order to provoke gizan he calls out to him asking why he's standing still since they're facing each

other he better make arrangements gizan has no clue what Arrangements he's talking about C reminds him that he's heard the festival has been interrupted so why not liven up the mood and have an amazing time he Further reminds how they've always been in sync when it comes to things like this gizan doesn't react much and cryptically asks if he's talking about alcohol you see this bastard always had gizan prepare alcohol and women every time he came here gizan granted his request back then because he didn't want to get beaten up but he's not going to

comply with this bastard anymore because of Cain he had to waste a lot of money which is also why his father cut off his Allowance but it looks like giz Lane has finally found the root cause of his money problems and he's sure Cain is also the solution to this issue Cain on the other hand keeps on demanding telling him to bring the goods right now of course gizan plays along and tells Cain that he'll bring them right now but first he wants this bastard to repay the debts he owes the hooded bastard can feel

the aura and Vibe gizan is exuding even Cain gets serious and asks what Debts he's talking about gizan just flashes a pleasant Smile as he reminds him that he had been handling and arranging everything Caine asked of him with money so now he wants that money back at least 1,000 gold of course the jackass is bewildered to hear such a ridiculous demand Because he believes that all of that should have cost no more than 100 gold besides C always thought that gizan did all of that because they were friends it was like a Friends with

Benefits situation but well gizan wouldn't call their relationship friends because he had been this bastard's doormat for the longest time but now he wants this jackass to pay up if he values his life he's in dire need of money and he won't let this bastard get away without taking the dues silence fills the room and even giz Lan's Knight Ricardo is sweating his balls from the bold declaration gizan just made the big guy furiously stands up clearly enraged He doesn't like the idea of gizan getting too full of himself he's sure that all the rumors

gizan is spreading about his deeds have gone to his head which is why he's acting so so bold now to Cain gizan is still nothing but a parasite feeding off this land so the bastard balls up his fist ready to kill this leech once and for all but even as the fist comes directly at gizen he doesn't even Flinch let alone move and before the punch can connect he just Tilts his body slightly and lets the punch slide harmlessly past him the whole scene is nothing short of shocking Cain swings again in full Fury but

gizan Ducks down and delivers a sharp open-handed punch straight into the big guy's belly the force of the punch is is so intense that it nearly causes Cain to cough up blood our boy attempts to retaliate with another swing but Cain stops him Mido motion even though Kan does not take any damage he still Pretends as if he in pain the hooded figure rushes over asking Cain if he's all right but it's clear that the massive man is far from fine his pride the only thing larger than his body is now shattered gizan nonchalantly tells

him to stop whining because that punch did not do any damage but Kane keeps on pretending as if he is suffering the onlookers in the HB are left speechless unable to process what they just witnessed gizen the so-called weak air Just took down C loes with barely any effort and the entire room is unsure of what to think my guy can obviously tell that this bastard is pretending and he can clearly tell what Kane is trying to achieve by doing this the big bastard then quickly turns to his hooded Knight asking if he liked the

acting of course the hooded bastard gives him props for the Stellar performance C has set the stage perfectly to make it look like the fault lies with gizen in everyone's ey Eyes so this should be more than enough to justify a duel Kan is more than ready to seize this opportunity because helping the big shots to eradicate gislin means he'll have backing from those in authority and he must want the support of those above him not only that it'll also help him cut off the perum household so he plays along pulls out the glove and

with some verbal foreplay he sets the scene to demand a duel but before this bastard can throw the glove In our boy's face my guy acts first and throws the glove at this jackass's face challenging him to the duel since Cain insulted the air of perum in front of everyone and assaulted his Knight my guy demands to have a duel silence Falls over this big jackass's face but that straight face quickly shifts into a smirk because he thinks gizan has dug his own grave by demanding The Duel so it goes without saying that he accepts

The Duel on the other hand The Sassy Smile stays plastered on our boy's face as he calls out to his Knight Ricardo and tells him to bring all the merchants protesting in front of the castle he wants them to know that giz Lin the young Master of the perum House is about to make them some fat cash you see the Festival was suddenly cancelled and the atmosphere which had heated up to its peak suddenly cooled down this left behind a bunch of tourists who couldn't leave out of regret they're probably in A state of incomplete

combustion not able to spend their money or time in such a situation if an event were to take place to soothe them everyone would be over the moon and so as my guy stands in the ring against that bastard the crowd is going absolutely Bonkers with cheers people are gathering from far off places and the merch merchants in the market are finally able to make some cash out of the tourists that fat Merchant who was at the front of the Line during the protest has set up his table for people to bet on their respective

players many of them simply put their money on Master cane which is understandable because they think it's the safest bet the big bastard is also ready with his giant sword to start the duel but he's kind of annoyed that gizan has turned a serious duel into a Marketplace like this he makes one thing clear before starting his sword won't stop even if our boy surrenders gaslin Isn't terrified or surp urised to hear this since he can tell the bastard's motive is to kill anyhow since it seems like they have enough people gathered gizan decides to

officially start the duel that's when the hooded bastard butts in and states that the proper bet can't proceed at this rate everyone is confused about what this hooded guy means so the fat Merchant explains that nobody has bet their money on young Master gizen the crowd starts to murmur Among themselves believing the result is already pretty obvious and that gizan doesn't stand a chance C finds it amusing to think that even the marketplace doesn't want to be associated with gizan in any way since the BET isn't balanced they decide to change the criteria of the

BET to make it somewhat fair but that's when Commander scov brings out a bag full of cash and Bets it on young Master gizan not only that lady Elena also fetches a Bag full of money to bet on her brother everyone wasn't surprised when Commander skoven showed up but seeing Elena herself even our boy is a bit bewildered as are the people in the crowd she then asks the merchant if this much money is enough for the BET and the fat Merchant humbly says yes now that there are people betting on gizan Cain decides to

start the duel without wasting any more time though he looks a bit annoyed by the turn of events anyway the duel Begins and our boy gives Cain the chance to attack first after all Cain is younger so as a big brother gizen would love to give his little brother the first chance to strike this cheap copy of Hulk is bewildered to hear this but my guy just swings his sword as he un sheeds it and confidently challenges Cain to come at him silence Falls over the big bastard's face and it looks like he's taken the

bait he gets into stance and leaps forward like a giant Bull and Comes crashing down with his massive sword the swords of both contestants Collide and this cheap Hulk pours every ounce of power Into The Clash but nothing much happens to our boy so the bastard once again swings his sword without thinking and once again my guy Dodges the fatty then leaps into the air to kick but once again his effort is effortlessly dodged by gizan after that little back and forth exchange of blows both contestants fall back while this Creepy sucker Smiles with his

equally creepy grin my guy can see how full of himself Cain is feeling Belinda is sweating after seeing the young Master Clash like this with that Behemoth she even urges the young lady to stop her brother meanwhile the hooded guy feels really confident that gizan is as good as dead he believes that the moment our hero decided to cross swords with Cain he fell for the Trap he's sure that gizan will be overwhelmed by Cain's Immense power and will become consumed by the thought that there's no chance to Counterattack he will end up using all

their energy just on evasion in the end the exhaust Ed gizen will leave an opening and eventually meet his end this is how Kan has won countless battles his strength is unmatched but my guy is just as much a match for this bastard with his agility dodging each and every attack effortlessly even Kan is forced to admit that gizen is quite the Slippery guy and it seems his skills have indeed grown since before so the bastard cranks up his strength even more he literally grabs his sword by the sharp side with his bare hands and

tries to hit gizen with it full force Although our boy manages to evade the direct hit by using his own sword he gets stuck in the sword's cross guard Cain with all his might swings our boy into the sky everyone is left with their jaws hanging when they see the young master in the Air and the only guy who's excited is the hooded bastard who's sure that gizan is done for but it looks like this hooded guy is about to get his expectations subverted while gizan is midair he quickly channels Mana into his legs after

gaining his balance he lands perfectly on the ground at first my guy was just going easy on the bastard but since this [ __ ] has crossed the line he's ready to teach him a l he dashes at this bastard with Godly Speed and Zips past him the hooded guy is completely dumbfounded to see that this guy safely landed back by condensing Mana into his legs gizan on the other hand calls this cheap Hulk an ignorant swordsman he believes that this sucker must have thought he was the strongest just because the opponent would get scared

if he showed a little bit of his strength but my guy is ready to open this bastard's Eyes by making him realize that brute force is not Everything the fatty feels mocked so being the brute he is he charges at our boy once again asking how he's going to do that that's when my guy takes a firm grip on the ground and after kicking over the hilt of the sword he quickly leaps into the air and lands multiple strikes on this gorilla but the gorilla retaliates with his own sword gizan quickly s side steps and

then steps right over the sword itself once the bastard is momentarily rendered Weaponless gizan takes his chance and swings his sword and lands a hit after that deadly Dance of the blade my guy dramatically stops and the bastard starts to leak from every place he was hit by gizan sword all the spectators are left in awe and people suddenly erupt in disbelief when they finally realize that our boy has indeed improved a lot they start to panic if he's actually going to win the battle meanwhile Elena is feeling proud as she Confidently reminds Belinda that

she was scared for no reason Commander skoven is equally proud to see our boy Stellar performance but the only person sweating his balls is this [ __ ] in the hoodie he can clearly see that the wounds are shallow even though our boy could have easily made them deeper if he had wanted this makes him believe that gizan didn't deliver a deep wound on purpose the fat on the other hand is feeling mocked to see such god-like swordsmanship from our Hero gizan then turns his attention to the defeated bastard and throws his sword away because

he intends to fight without a sword you see he believes that the skill Gap is too wide to Warrant further weapon use so he'll fight barehanded from now on this much humiliation is enough to boil the Fatty's blood gizan is ready to take this opportunity to teach Cain a hard lesson and he plans to drill those lessons with his bare Knuckles gizan Believes that this small brained big bodied idiot is no match for him in swordsmanship so he decides to take a handicap and fight bare-handed a style in which the fatty excels this time my

guy wants to bet 2,000 more gold which is twice the amount he had initially demanded from Cain the crowd is unsettled to hear the mention of 2,000 gold in a bare-handed fight even though it was supposed to be a duel let's not forget about this hoodie bastard he can Barely control the sweat dripping from his face to think that our boy dares to challenge C to a bare-handed fight he literally never thought he'd see this day though somewhere in the back of his mind he thinks there's still a chance for Cain to win after all

the fat Merchant quickly tells everyone to place their additional bets announcing that the event is now a bare-handed fight between young Lord gizen and young Master Cain this time many people are Betting on our boy as their opinions are starting to shift they realize that sheer force isn't always the winning factor and for that reason they're putting their money on gizan the cheap Hulk is still full of himself but he nonetheless accepts gizenk challenge however he refuses to let go of his sword and decides to use it against our boy Belinda panicking at this unexpected

turn of events quickly urges the young Master to pick up his sword as well but The big bastard has already started to swing his sword down while my guy stays as cool as a cucumber ready to knock some sense into this brute as soon as that sword comes crashing down gizan Ducks moving so fast that his silhouette seems to lag behind he delivers a crushing blow to the sucker's overgrown leg following it with a devastating uppercut under the chin the bastard's face is left leaking blood that one punch was enough to scramble his brain And

one of his knees hits the ground this was Unreal C didn't even see those punches coming the audience is just as surprised as everyone else thoroughly enjoying this unexpected turn of events meanwhile gizan exudes confidence and Charisma claiming he hasn't even started yet and wants to play some more this bruises the Fatty's fragile ego making his jaw clench as he rushes at our boy once again but my guy just keeps dodging left and right effortlessly the Choreography of this fight scene is insane even as the narrator I can't keep up with all those Godly movements

no matter what the fatty tries every move gets countered and overpowered in return he's met with one crushing blow after another as Cain reflects on his situation he remembers how gizan used to avoid looking him in the eye always bowing down whenever Cain showed up but now everything has changed the fatty keeps taking hits an endless barrage of Blows from our hero he's playing the perfect role of a punching bag at one point his entire body is covered in bruises his face is so banged up that even his own mother would refuse to recognize him

as her son gazan grabs the bastard by the hair and as he looks at this stubborn fatty he feels genuine pity for his family count logos had supported the perum house relentlessly even when it was on the verge of collapse simply because he was a close Friend of our boy's father however gizan can tell that Cain is nothing like his father the scene transitions to a few years ago where we hear Cain shouting at his father for being overly supportive of the perum house Cain is annoyed arguing that his father is wasting Resources by continuously

investing in a land that's withering away it hasn't even been a week since logos returned home but he's already preparing to head back to help perum Cain begs his father Not to go visibly frustrated by what he perceives as his father's blind loyalty but his father politely yet sincerely responds that he's doing all of this because they are friends and there's no other reason than that in the present seeing this fatty gizen balls up his fist but surprisingly this isn't a punch meant to obliterate the Fatty's face it's actually a hand of friendship extended from

our boy this hand of friendship is something none of us Expected and what's even more unexpected is that Cain warms up to this gesture and admits defeat everyone is left absolutely a struck to see Cain admit his defeat and the referee promptly announces giz Lin as the winner everyone from house perum is fascinated to see the young Master win while Elena is quite happy and Overjoyed to see her brother finally bag the victory that's when the hooded guy rushes toward the defeated Cain and starts berating him he Asks how Cain could admit defeat so early

just because he was at a slight disadvantage Kane doesn't respond he simply turns his head away stating that he's not playing that game anymore since Kan has failed to take down gizan the hooded guy is not sure how he is going to face his seniors right at that moment our boy also pops up in the scene and decides to play a little dirty with this sucker the hooded guy has no clue what gizan is even Thinking but we soon get to know when our boy shouts at the top of his lungs that this man here

is volunteering to pay for all the meat and drinks for everyone gathered here while the hooded bastard is losing his mind the crowd erupts and pure happiness at the thought of getting meat and drinks for free the hooded guy quickly argues back telling gizan that he never agreed to any of this and demands that he withdraw his statement but my guy simply places a Reassuring hand on this bastard's shoulder and lets him know that this is the price for losing the duel and just to be clear it won't be deducted from the bet he tells

him to remember to add 2,000 gold to the original bet of 1,000 gold and if he tries to run the consequences will be severe when gizan says this he means every word of it the menacing picture of our boy qu quickly burns into the bastard's eyes later the next day in gizan room we find gizan Staring at a treasure chest full of glittering gold coins the amount of money he has is actually pretty huge to give you an idea of how much it is you could easily hire a small mercenary core with this amount of

money but it takes a lot of time to grow money and those bastards who want him killed won't wait for his forces to grow so he only has a limited amount of time to execute the business plan he has in mind that's when Belinda and his sister come up to him With satisfied Smiles on their faces the way they're looking at him feels like they have some ulterior motive hidden behind their smiles he quickly questions why they're here to which his little sister politely asks where he plans to spend all this money of course gizan

catches on to what she's implying so he directly asks her if she wants some to which the lady responds that she's just asking Belinda then speaks up stating that she has a pretty good idea of where He's going to spend it all she is sure that since lady Amelia's birthday is coming up soon gizan must be planning to put on a grand show to buy his fiance an expensive present but we all know that our boy isn't thinking about this at all however the mention of a fiance catches gizan completely off guard he literally does

not even remember if he even has fiance the maid laughs softly thinking he must be feeling shy they know he's pretending to be clueless because he's Embarrassed that they figured him out still since Elena is noticing that her brother is quite absent-minded lately she decides to remind him that they're talking about Amelia of rold County finally the name triggers some memories in gizenk mind but they're not exactly fond ones you see Amelia rold is renowned as a noble among Nobles known for her kind nature and selfless actions she's deeply admired in her territory garnering the

unwavering support of her People regardless of their social status but gizan knows another side of this story in his mind she isn't a celebrated Noble woman but a traitor why because Amelia rold who once stood as a shining Beacon of nobility would later incite Rebellion she would become infamously known as The Witch of the North aligning herself with the deline duy to deliver the final blow to peri's downfall to gizan she is no gentle fiance but the very woman who betrayed everything his Family stood for he then asks Belinda when his father will return to

which he responds with uncertainty saying probably in a week this is good enough for gizan with a full week ahead of him he decides to take a trip to rold County Belinda isn't sure why he's leaving already since it's not even her birthday yet but my guy says he's going to get some money from them later we finally see the lady in question Amelia rold at first glance she looks dead-eyed but I Can't take my eyes off her major assets nonetheless she's in this town where she's offering a poor little girl a pair of sandals

Amelia is apparently offering her own sandals so the little girl isn't sure whether to take them or not but Amelia assures the hesitant girl that if anyone has to walk Barefoot on her land it should be her she then commands her soldiers to provide food and shelter for them right away and the soldiers quickly jump into action as she walks away with Her Entourage of soldiers all the civilians Echo their gratitude later we arrive atace fold County in Amelia's Garden where we see this guy washing her feet with such Dedication that you might feel jealous

of he's really proud of the great job she's done this guy is actually Amelia's escort Knight berf Amelia responds to him that her father had always demanded absolute obedience from the people of his territory but the common folk will always follow the one Who keeps them warm and wellfed the guy then says that with this she has won the people's hearts and that it will definitely prove favorable in her future successor competition but it looks like Amelia is not on the same wavelength as him so she quickly puts her feet right over his face like

a sadistic [ __ ] she questions him about what happened in the duel against the finest sword of the north to which the guy apologizes saying he lost intentionally to avoid Unnecessary attention if he had stood Victorious people might have started paying attention to her and it's not yet the time for her to reveal her hidden claws he then kisses her feet passionately while expressing his full support and loyalty to her but the lady believes that this is how it should be since she has invested so much to raise him and she definitely would never

allow him to be a weakling she then starts questioning him about the merchants the Knight assures her there is nothing to worry about with the arum merchant Guild all the materials used for the Reconstruction of the forest of beasts Outpost which was recently half destroyed by the orc attack and perum are being purchased through their merchant Guild in essence her Merchants are recouping all the support funds that count rold sends to perum each year moreover he is recruiting all the soldiers and knights who are leaving Perum many of those soldiers are great Knights who are

well trained from battles against Barbarian tribes basically her plan to squeeze everything out from perum is a total success so far the lady is glad to hear this and as she said before she tells him to maintain the appearance of an ordinary Merchant Guild and be thorough because she cannot let their true identity be exposed until they have fully built up their strength that's when her Butler arrives the Knight is annoyed to see the butler entering the garden without permission but the butler quickly delivers urgent news he received from the castle gate apparently young Lord

gizen perum has come to visit although we were told he is her fiance she definitely doesn't look even a little happy At The Mention Of His Name she questions the butler about the reason for his visit and the butler gets all sweaty when he reveals that gizan is here to discuss the Merchant Guild both the lady and her Knight berf are wide-eyed upon hearing this we then arrive in the visitor's room where we find her sitting in front of our boy my guy sits as casually as he can and greets her in the same laid-back

tone but the lady responds with a contemptuous expression to his greeting she's clearly annoyed that he came here without prior notification leading her to believe he still hasn't learned proper etiquette my guy reminds her that Since it's her birthday soon he thought he'd give her a gift in advance he places a flower on the table and explains that he picked it up from a merchant Guild nearby he mentions the fragrance is quite nice and that he plans to buy flowers from there from now on if his memory serves him right the merchant Guild is called

arcum of course the lady immediately knows where he's going with the conversation but she plays clueless and says she isn't sure What he's trying to imply now that she's received his gift claims she'll take her leave and begins to walk away but that's when my guy calls her name with a serious look on his face he tells her to sit down the girl instantly picks on the pressure gizan is exuding what bothers her the most is how such ominous pressure could be coming from a guy who used to squirm and barely speak whenever he stood

in front of her my guy then decides to get straight to the point and Demands money around 10,000 gold coins not surprisingly she's not vibing with the idea of him showing up out of nowhere and asking for such a large sum from his fiance she wonders if he is here on behalf of his father but gizan clarifies that his father has nothing to do with this besides he already knows that she is not planning to marry with him anyway he is sure that she might become the Lord of this land given her preparations he indirectly

threatens her That if word about her secretly building power spreads in rold she might lose the succession fight this makes her quite angry of course with some death glares she tells him not to even joke about something like that not even as a joke to which my guy assures her that he will keep her secret for now but of course he might not keep his word if he leaves this room empty-handed but the lady remains sassy with her words because she has already figured out how to deal with Gizan she quickly calls out to her

Knight berf and that feet licker promptly walks inside the Knight doesn't forget his manners and promptly greets Lord gizen meanwhile when we peek into gizenk mind we learn that this guy has always stayed by Amelia's side and he's a skilled individual with the potential to be compared to the finest sword of the north at the time our boy quickly reminds the lady that if she tries to kill him here a war might break out he Questions whether she really has the time to be fighting Wars when the succession ceremony is so close but Amelia has

already thought it through she has the perfect Alibi a sudden Ruffian barged in caused chaos and was killed by her escort Knight that's the story the world will hear about his demise with that plan in mind she doesn't hesitate before ordering her Knight to kill this brat the feet licker is more than happy to comply with her Command and quickly un sheathes his sword but my guy isn't about to take any crap either if that's how she wants to play it then he has no choice but to get little serious as well the stage is

set for yet another Godly duel between two skilled individuals so grab your parrots and brace yourself for what's coming next but well as much as we wish to see a manly fight between two Warriors this piece of [ __ ] Knight has some other plans suddenly gizan notices some Rustling behind him and before he can react an assassin pops out from the empty armor and thrusts a sword directly into the sofa in an attempt to pierce our boy along with it but this bastard was too slow and my guy just rolls to the ground kicks

the B bastard hard and throws him out of the window the lady in that sucker stand in disbelief because they didn't expect our boy to react with such finesse gizan expresses his disgust at this [ __ ] for feigning politeness While launching a surprise attack he then quickly lunges toward the night and they both engage in a sword fight My Guy questions this [ __ ] of a knight asking if Rael doesn't know the way of chivalry the Knight apologizes but reminds our boy that he was the one who was rude by arriving unannounced and

unsettling the lady with his shallow threats the two go toe-to-toe trying their best to tag the other with their sword first but it looks like my guy has the upper hand With his ninja likee reflexes he even manages to push this bastard back with a single kick this Knight definitely didn't think much of our boy assuming he was all talk with no real skill to back it up but now he's learning the hard way that our boy is No rookie at all Amelia on the other hand is losing her temper watching her Knight get overpowered

by this brat she menacingly demands that he finish the fight quickly and bring her this bastard's head if he really Considers himself her Knight the feet licker decides to get a little more serious because this is now a matter of his mistress's honor and he doesn't want to disappoint her he boldly tells our boy to come at him my guy keeps that Sassy smirk on his face mocking how an escort Knight dares to order him around like that but now that this Knight is asking for it gizan is more than ready to give this bastard

exactly what he's asking for the two once again engage in A deadly dance of Swords but this time the Knight isn't holding back a single bit he even manages to graze gizenk face with a nasty cut both of them are moving so fast past it's hard to follow their movements all they leave behind are silhouettes of themselves Amelia on the other hand is growing more frustrated and Restless watching gizan fight like this she can't believe how a guy who was once called a lousy Punk is now fighting her Knight berf on equal footing the Fight

itself is incredibly intense and if you blink you miss it both Fighters are too fast when our boy tries to tag this bastard he Dodges and when this bastard tries to tag our boy he Dodges this back and forth continues relentlessly gizan then tries to use the same attack he did before but this time he gets slammed hard onto the ground while he's caught off guard the Knight charges at him with his sword in hand but gizan quickly reacts pulling off a Series of acrobatic moves before landing back on his feet by now gizan has

figured out that this dude is enduring attacks by using mana on the other hand the Knight is also forced to admit that gizan is quite different from what they've heard about him the way he wields his sword doesn't look like something systematically taught it seems more like he picked it up through real Combat experience the Knight asks if gizen has perhaps fought with barbarians So often that he naturally adopted their style he believes that such a method might work in a chaotic battlefield but claims it won't work against him this time the Knight vows to

end this gizan also knows that this is not proving to be easy the narrow precise thrusts of the blade constantly targeting his head can mess with sense of distance and timing and at close range the difference in opponent's size makes it hard to overpower this bastard with technique Alone in the first place this Knight wasn't an opponent gizan should have tried to take on gone yet it's basically like trying to defeat a final boss with level one gear but well gizan didn't have much time to prepare for all that so he decides to take the

fight up a notch he conjures up a Mana string which Zips past the knight's ear before the Knight can even figure out what's going on my guy pulls a sword from behind knocking the bastard hard at the back of His head then gizan follows up with a kick to the knight's face berf momentarily loses his senses after getting hit twice on his head leaving the spider lady in disbelief my guy then leaps into the air and comes crashing down but the Knight quickly throws him away with a powerful push of his body Force berf swiftly

tells his mistress to get out of here because he can no longer guarantee her safety at this rate and from this point onward he vows to give It his all warning her that she might get caught in the collateral damage gizan is also fired up for this fight because he hasn't faced such an entertaining opponent in a long time meanwhile Amelia is running down the corridor with her cat for her life she looks visibly distressed because how dare our boy cause her such humiliation she has no clue who could be the idiot who leaked information

about the merchant Guild to gizan there's no way He would know about it in such detail at least not without help the rumors about him about slaying Orcs protecting his younger sister from assassins and even defeating the heir of Lois judging by that Rascal's past she had thought it must have been either luck or exaggerated information but now she is forced to believe that he might really have improved she then notices that all of the guards are missing which annoys her further but she soon finds all the Soldiers scattered on the ground and the one

one who took them down is none other than Belinda Amelia is startled to see pums maid and before she can react further Belinda places a dagger right over her throat that's when Belinda notices the spider hanging over her face she grabs the Little Critter in her hands and expresses her dislike about this [ __ ] Belinda then reminds this bastard of a lady that she remembers the day of the engagement ceremony where she Eaves dropped on the conversation between count rold and the Lord of perum she apparently overheard that all of Amelia's siblings picked on

her for having creepy spiders around her so she raised the spiders herself and took her revenge Belinda isn't sure if that action was perhaps an attempt to overcome trauma or a display of self assertion Belinda then apologizes if this might come off as harsh but she reminds Amelia that it doesn't suit her With that she crushes the spider under her feet after crushing the spider brutally Belinda requests that this [ __ ] cooperate with her a little but before we can learn what kind of request Belinda wants to make we're back to the fight between

the boys and it looks like the Knight has started to exude some serious ominous power already the air has gotten rough and the overwhelming amount of Mana is really making our boy quite concerned the Knight is really Pissed that our boy isn't taking him seriously and had called him an entertaining opponent previously because that sounds almost like something a lowly mercenary would say he despises the very idea that someone as lowly and non-serious as our boy dares to call himself a noble and tries to stand on equal status as Amelia well of course our boy

is a noble and he doesn't think this is something a mere escort Knight like himself should say berf takes his First step and they start clashing their swords he is absolutely livid because he thinks gizen is mocking the nobility he continues to throw one blow after another my guy is amazed that this bastard is moving forward with such strength and fierceness but gizan has also had enough he responds with equally aggressive swordsmanship this time the Knight is definitely not messing around with a single swing he pushes our boy backwards then quickly follows up with Another

blow to land a critical hit the time freezes as the final Blow from that bastard is deployed and blood splatters as the blade grazes the shoulder of our boy berf on the other hand is absolutely boggled out of his mind that this bastard braced himself for the injury and used his shoulder to push away the blade our boy then quickly retaliates pushing the Absurd Knight backward a little but bernu quickly delivers a kick to our boy while mocking him saying this Is the difference between him and a brat who wields his blade for entertainment the

kick sends gazan flying backwards but it still isn't enough to take him down he still finds this whole situation quite entertaining with with overwhelming speed range and consecutive attacks the Knight controls the flow of the fight any attempt to counter him in close quarters through grappling is instantly shut down in a locked Clash it seems like their swords are bound Together making the Knight believe they can't be separated with giz land's current Mana he can't counter the knight's strength but he's playing a long game knowing that the Knight has still yet to see the asce

our boy has up his sleeve which is giz Lan's unique Mana cultivation technique in an instant gizan unleashes his third core and sh shifts the balance of the fight one powerful strike is enough to knock the sword out of the knight's hand leaving Him bewildered the only thing in bnf's mind is how this guy wields such explosive Mana during combat with berf now defenseless gizan places his sword over the knight's head freezing him completely at that moment Belinda drags Amelia into the scene as well the once cocky lady is literally in tears and quickly agrees

to give the 10,000 gold urging them to Simply vanish from her sight afterward while gizan is glad to have gotten what he came for He's also irritated that it had to come to this it would have been so much easier if she had just agreed earlier anyhow he withdraws his sword and walks toward Amelia to deliver some bad news the fee just went up to 20,000 gold in the aftermath Amelia's entire Palace is in shambles she's throwing stuff around out of frustration not only did her Knight lose but now she has to Fork over 20,000

gold the Knight tries to apologize admitting that gizan turned Out to be a much stronger individual than the rumors suggested he owns up to his mistake saying it's his fault for not assessing him properly beforehand gizan had admitted Mana surpassing that of an advanced level Knight Amelia is clearly not thrilled to hear this when bernu asks if she wants to report this to the deline duy she slaps him across the face she grabs him by the collar Furious because what he says isn't practical seems like she is terrified of Duke deline because if he finds

out about today's incident she knows she's done for the reason she has secretly allied with Duke deline without her father's knowledge is because of a covert agreement she had with Duke he he promises to support her rebellion and she is supposed to help him by bringing down perum if this Alliance is exposed it's certain her siblings will kill her if our boy knows about the secret of the merchant Guild then Amelia is sure he Might also know about her agreement with the Duke as well she knows he has to be stopped so she must do

whatever it takes to take down that bastard the Knight acknowledges this she then asks him how gizenk body is to which he shares that he managed to inflict light injuries on many parts of his body with a heavy one on his shoulder not only that but because gizan spent an explosive amount of Mana he won't be in the best condition for some time since they are Thinking of getting rid of him without leaving any Trace they cannot use knights from their land Amelia had already figured that much which is why she had some extra Knights

trained for these kinds of situations it seems even berf doesn't know about these Knights so she reminds him about the wild cats this group apparently consists of War orphans those without Kings and those without status only the most talented natural-born Specialists are among them Known as the wild cat tra aiers she tells her Knight to go to the location she marks on the map and assemble a dozen or so of them only those who are proficient with Mana the choice of location for troop deployment makes sense to berf you see that Ravine is the only

narrow path from the rold territory to perum it's an ideal place to quietly handle things since the area is remote and the terrain is tight berf decides to get started on the plan right away this Time Amelia is absolutely determined to make our boy pay for the humiliation he has caused her meanwhile gizan has already left Amelia's p Palace inside his Carriage he carefully wraps his injured body with bandages we also see old man Fergus and Belinda are accompanying him they ask if he's all right and he assures them there's nothing to worry about the

cuts aren't too deep and it's not that bad considering he had pushed himself to its Best gizan is just relieved that the 20,000 gold he received from Amelia is enough to cover the base funds needed to rebuild their territory that amount of money is like saving a few years worth of effort of course it would have been great if he could have killed Amelia too but doing so would have made War un avoidable he can't risk the safety of his territory just because of a momentary whim perum is already struggling to deal with the barbarians

So it's wiser to withdraw quietly without stirring up more trouble the fact that he knows the secret of the arctia merchant Guild is already enough to put a burden on Amelia Belinda watches him with concerned eyes and asks if everything is going according to his plan she remembers that he had instructed her to subdue the guards once she heard fighting noises inside and he also told her to take lady Amelia hostage once she came out of the room Gizan confirms that's exactly what he said right at that moment he feels a sharp pain and coughs

up some blood it's actually The Recoil from opening up his third core though his condition is still much better than last time still it would be Troublesome to go through this every time he decides to use his power he needs to find a way to increase his Mana quickly Belinda quickly grabs his hand noticing that the flow in his body is completely messed up she grabs a Needle and starts piercing it into the back of his hand with Godly speed gizan finds it surprisingly therapeutic once she finishes he exhales a cloud of smoke from his

lungs and feels a sense of relief he can feel that his Tangled Mana Road has opened up a bit what's even more mind-blowing is that the method she used on him isn't something you can do without a deep understanding of Mana it's understandable that Belinda can do this considering it was his mother who Brought her into the palace but the question Still Remains who exactly is she gizan has no clue why such a skilled individual is working as a headmate in the countryside but it's good to have as many skilled people as possible in his

land after all the enemies he's encountered so far are just the beginning that's when Belinda speaks up assuring him that she'll help with anything because she trusts him unconditionally but he better tell her Why he took such a huge amount of money from Lady Amelia gizan states that he needed to spend the money and since Amelia is the only rich person he knows he decided to extort her both of his subordinates are bewildered to hear this they find it odd that he literally broke the engagement just for the money and because of this he'll be

in trouble once count rold finds out this makes gizan break into a smile and he rhetorically asks her if she actually trusts him Belinda barely contains her annoyance at him asking the same question again even though she just confirmed it since she trusts him she sure he'll at least tell her what he plans to do with the money gizan answers with one word The Forest of beasts that single sentence leaves her silent and shocked our boy on the other hand goes on to reveal that he's going to use it to Pioneer The Forest of beasts

the old man Fergus nearly jumps out of his skin at this and reminds Gasan that development has been attempted there ever since his great-grandfather's time but but there hasn't been much progress gizan reminds the old man of the request he made the old man quickly understands what gizan is referring to but hesitates before responding eventually he admits that the person gizan asked him to find is indeed at the location he mentioned however the old man is not sure if they even visit that person but gizan has already made Up his mind to meet him at

any cost Belinda however objects stating that they need to return home for now she argues that in his current condition gizan shouldn't be wandering around despite her protests gizan points out the reality of their situation he questions whether Amelia would let them leave so easily after everything they've done to her knowing her personality he is certain she will try to kill him to silence him ensuring her secret about Her alliance with Duke deline is never revealed Belinda tries to flex her scrawny muscles confidently assuring her young master that she can easily take down anyone who

comes their way not to mention they also have the old man Fergus as their Knight though gizan has no doubt that Belinda is a reliable person he knows that's not her role what he needs is a Vanguard and they're on their way to meet him later they arrive at this place with just one Shack In sight The Carriage driver knocks on the door but there's no response it's almost as if the house is abandoned but Fergus points out that this is the address they're looking for finally someone answers the door out comes this guy with

a face fully covered in facial hair he immediately questions the identity of the visitors while everyone is a bit freaked out by this unusual man my guy shows no expression at all Belinda even asks him if this is really The person they've been searching for because she doesn't think this guy looks like he could fight let alone survive what's coming tomorrow but gizan confidently assures her that this is the man they're looking for the old man stares at the Young master and bluntly tells him to stop wasting his time and leave that's when my guy

addresses him by his real title the ex- captain of The ratatosk Mercenaries Gillian the old man perks up at the mention of his title When he turns back to look gizen warmly extends his hand inviting him to join them both the Old Man and the carriage driver are shock to hear The Mention Of The ratatosk Mercenaries here's the thing The ratatosk Mercenaries were a legendary group that only Master Warriors skilled with most weapons could join though they no longer exist their reputation is so strong that knights from even distant lands have heard their name at

least once and the captain of That legendary group is Jillian that's the man gizan has come all this way to meet the old man throws his axe with full force but my guy just tilts his head slightly and the axe Zips past him everyone else immediately goes on high alert they quickly surround their young master and take fighting stances ready for whatever comes next but Jillian is all business he's not here to waste time he bluntly asks gizan the reason for his visit Belinda steps in front of our guy Believing this man is a complete

nutcase but gizan keeps it short he only says one thing the Eternal punishment and further claims he knows the cure to the incurable illness his daughter is suffering from well that's enough to Peak Jillian's interest apparently his daughter's condition causes her high fever frequent coughing up of blood and red spots blooming like flower petals on her skin the sight of her pain similar to a prisoner enduring punishment gave This incurable disease its name Eternal punishment finally we see the girl in question she screams at the top of her lungs in pain and the mercenary rushes

inside the shack to tend to his daughter Rachel gizan can see that it's not too late for her in his previous life our boy had tried to find Gillian to recruit him but the man had taken his own life shortly after his daughter passed away judging by the state of this house it's clear that all of Jillian's assets must Have been spent on her treatment Now All That Remains are his weapons the poor girl cries out pleading with her father saying she's in pain and can't bear it anymore seeing her suffer gizan decides to act

quickly he quickly tells Jillian that he's going to start the treatment right away but Belinda immediately steps in to stop him before he can go any further she doesn't understand what he thinks he's trying to do but she knows this isn't something strength alone can Solve this disease is so severe that even priests have failed to cure it and they called it a punishment from the gods for a reason she doubts there's anything he can do but my guy just Yanks her hand off his shoulder and makes it clear he can fix her he reminds

Belinda that since she claimed to trust him she'd better stick to her words with that it seems Belinda has no room left to argue he then hands her a paper listing all the medicinal herbs they'll Need and tells her to come back with them when she reads the ingredients she's stunned for a moment the reason my guy knows all this is because for wandering mercenaries without a home knowledge is directly tied to survival you see Eternal punishment might be incurable right now but a cure will be discovered in the future back then it became quite

a Hot Topic especially because the method was relatively simple thanks to that my guy remembers it Clearly the only problem is that the exorbitant cost of the ingredients and one of them is a rare herb called Fair's blessing now that he has the fair's blessing and the other herbs he carefully chops them packs them tightly into a bottle and pours distilled alcohol over the mixture he shakes it thoroughly to blend everything and lets it sit for a while once ready he adds the remaining ingredients stirs them together and prepares the potion with That the remedy

is complete he presents it to jilan and instructs him to have his daughter drink it since Gillian has no reason to refuse he quickly pours the medicine into his daughter's mouth the moment it reaches her stomach the effects begin to take hold her bruised red body starts returning to normal leaving everyone speechless it's just unbelievable no one not even Gillian expected the medicine to work but gizan was already confident in the results Gillian turns to him and asks how he knew about this cure when even divine power couldn't heal her to this gizen explains that

the priest's Divine Powers aren't omnipotent they enhance the body's vitality and strengthen its regenerative abilities helping it fight the illness but that's different from offering a fundamental cure the man's hands tremble as he reaches out to our boy asking if his daughter will actually be cured gizan gives the Father the Positive response he's been longing for he reassures Jillian that it will take a couple of months but guarantees that his daughter will be complet completely cured the Man's eyes widen in disbelief as big and strong as he is he falls to his knees bows his

head and humbly asks what our boy could possibly want in return since gizan came all this way there must be a good reason however the old man tells him upfront that he has nothing much to offer other than his Useless body if gizan needs him to become his dog so be it he'll follow every command and be his slave but gizan makes it clear that he doesn't need a slave what he needs is Gillian the captain of The ratatosk Mercenaries when the old man looks up he's shocked to see The Familiar Eyes of a dreamer

Jillian quickly stands up picks up his ax and removes his long ponytail now he looks like an absolute giant exuding an aura of power and confidence he asks if Anyone else has come here aside from him and his party gizan confirms that it's just him and his three companions the man then asks if there's anyone with a grudge against him to which gizan confidently replies that there is and there will be more in the future with that said the giant man grabs his Harpoon and after imbu with Mana he launches it with Godly speed the

Harpoon drills straight through his Hut and into the forest moments later as he pulls the Rope back the prey caught on the Harpoon emerges a man lodged in its barbs Gillian grabs the intruder with his massive hand his grip like a vice and demands to know who sent him the Spy however seems more interested in how Gillian even knew he was hiding in the woods turning to our boy Gillian asks what he'd like to do with this one gizan calmly replies that he already knows who sent the man but he'd prefer not to stain his

blade on a day like this still He admits it seems he has no choice that's when Jillian stops him from un sheathing his sword and Promises to take care of the Intruder himself with that said Jillian tightens his colossal grip and the screams of the Spy echo through the forest once the deed is done the mercenary respectfully bows to his master meanwhile Belinda is visibly unsettled seeing Jillian kill so effortlessly without hesitation leaves her shaken she can't understand why the Young Master would recruit someone so dangerous the big guy on the other hand falls to

his knees and vows that from now on his life belongs to gizan in response our boy offers a confident smile eager to work with him the scene then shifts to a lone Hut standing in the middle of a swamp inside the hut the Wildcat traffickers are in a state of confusion as the report reveals that a reconnaissance unit has been killed that's when the senior member speaks up Urging everyone to simmer down this man is Virgo the captain of the squad Virgo then states that according to bf's Intel gizan shouldn't even have been able to

find the reconnaissance unit let alone kill them he wonders if the unit was incompetent or if the intel was wrong it's then the reporter reports that Jillian has joined gizenk group the captain becomes enraged grabbing the reporter by the throat and angrily demanding confirmation the poor guy Barely manages to respond confirming once again that he saw it with his own eyes Virgo is fascinated by this news because he never expected that big guy to get back into killings again and apparently it looks like Virgo was also part of ratatosk mercenaries group the scene transitions back

to our party where this time Gillian is driving the carriage inside Belinda finds herself suffocating from all the Weaponry loaded into the carriage she wonders if Jillian Really had to bring so much stuff couldn't he have just brought a sword or two she wonders if he's some kind of arms dealer in the other Carriage Fergus and Ricardo are acting as rear guard keeping watch from behind meanwhile our boy tries to remind Belinda that Jillian will definitely put these weapons to use so she'll have to bear it for now the most important thing is to escape

this Rift safely the lady then speaks about the Spy they Captured mentioning that she's sure it must have been sent by Amelia she finds this troubling because the mask that the Spy War was a symbol used by the Wildcat traffickers a powerful Guild in rold their main trades are smuggling assassination drugs and human trafficking among others they are filthy scum who take on all the vile work among them are many skilled former mercenaries making them a shadowy guild with considerable combat power gizan is quite Bewildered that Belinda knows so much especially since she only stays

in the castle in response she simply states that she heard a lot about it before she started working here in any case she explains that the enemy is persistent so he better be careful gizen warms to her concern noting how much she values him he reassures her that he will be fine because now they have Gillian with them suddenly the ground beneath them starts to shift two assassins emerge and start Following their Carriage from both directions in the next moment they spring out of the sand to strike at Gillian but this gigachad of a man

grabs a sword in one one hand and an axe in the other effortlessly blocking both attackers strike simultaneously not only does he block them but he twists his weapons so quickly that the Assassin's arms are torn off from their bodies and with his next move Gillian cuts through both of them like they were nothing more Of these men appear quickly activating the traps they've set up giant logs start to fall toward them but before they can be crushed Jillian takes control of the rains he Yanks the bridal and the horses slam on the brakes in

a matter of seconds the area is crawling with these creepiest assassins all armed with weapons embedded in their hands that's when Virgo mentions Jillian as the former captain of The ratatosk Mercenaries he calls him a coward for Disbanding the entire group just because of his daughter Jillian doesn't seem to Vibe with the accusations this unknown bastard is throwing at him Vergo continues saying that after the group was disbanded he had to live a life he never wanted he tells Jillian not to act scile as if he can't even remember his former peer it seems that

Jillian actually doesn't remember this creepy man but Virgo is convinced that he's just pretending to play dumb but Virgo Is looking forward to making Jillian remember his old colleagues and promptly signals his lackes to charge our boy asks if he should step in to help but Virgo simply replies that it's all okay these bastards clearly have business with him so he assures giz Lin that he doesn't need to bother as soon as those creepy bastards get close to Pierce Gillian with their swords this gigachad of a man cuts through them like their vegetables a few

more charge from the Other direction but Jillian prepares himself and cuts down the first one in line when the second tries to attack he too too has his hands ripped apart Virgo watching from the sidelines had expected this outcome after all Jillian held the position of Captain for a reason since direct attacks are pointless against this brood of a man Virgo orders his units to split into two groups and take him on from both sides but Jillian quickly hops onto his horse Axe in Hand Charging at these bastards with a single swing of his axe

he obliterates them not letting a single one come close seeing no chance of getting closer the men then decide to aim for the horse first but they stand no chance Jillian is swinging his axe like a blender cutting down everyone in his path leaving the ground a bloody mess finally Virgo himself jumps into The Fray but Gillian quickly safeguards himself with his shield Virgo seething with rage since Jillian ruined His life declares that he won't let him ruin his plans as well for that Gillian Must Die the bastard quickly kills the horse Gillian was riding

but our big guy quickly jumps off unharmed Virgo doesn't waste any time and comes charging with his blade but the old man quickly blocks the Direct Hit with his axe in the middle of the fight he reminds this bastard that he's no longer the captain of The ratatosk Mercenaries one crushing blow from our old hero leaves this Sucker in pain and gilean further throws him away with ease Virgo is in shambles after just one hit blood leaks from his mouth as he questions who the captain is if it's not him in response gilean begins to

channel his Mana calmly stating that he has discarded his past he is now nothing but young Lord gizan subordinate this leaves Virgo utterly Bamboozled he furiously charges like a madman realizing that this bastard is acting so nonchalant after destroying His life the exchange of blows begins again both Warriors pushing themselves to overpower the other but it's clear that the one struggling is Virgo who is only acting out of sheer frustration he reminds Jillian that the mercenary company was disbanded after he left and thanks to Gillian's decision Virgo lost his power and ended up living a

disgraceful life just to survive the old man doesn't respond to Virgo's words instead he continues to swing strike After strike relentlessly attacking Vero go but finally Virgo manages to render the old man's Shield useless with a powerful kick Virgo makes it clear that he had been prepared to sacrifice his entire life to make the ratos mercenaries the best in history but Jillian threw it all away only to end up as a mere Pawn of a spoiled Noble for that Virgo isn't sure he can ever forgive him he finally throws his deadly ninja daggers but the

old man swings his Axe around and deflects three of the blades right then Virgo charges in with a dagger in hand but it zips past Jillian as their Clash continues no matter how strong Jillian may have been Virgo is confident that he is not as powerful as he was when he was Captain just a few years ago while Jillian wasted his time trying to cure his daughter Virgo is glad that he put himself through countless battles to grow stronger he's pretty sure this Walmart version of Zeus is no match for him now Virgo quickly picks

up the three daggers from the ground and throws them directly at Gillian but the gigachad Gillian stops them with his bare hand as if they are nothing when Virgo charges again Gillian swings his axe once more Virgo avoids the the hit coming mere inches away from the old man's skull Jillian quickly imbus his hand with Mana and stops the dagger midair he then spoke to Virgo asking if this was really All the reason he had for seeking Vengeance Virgo is caught off guard after seeing Jillian Channel Mana just to catch the dagger it does not

take him long to realize that Gillian had not been showing his true strength until now before Virgo could react Gillian's ax struck him brutally in the face sending him flying into a nearby tree with great force the old man approached his voice calm but firm as he questioned why Virgo hadn't come for him earlier if all he Wanted was Revenge Virgo sneers and admits that he has already visited Gillian's old home but there's no trace of the ratatosk mercenaries Captain all that's left was a feeble old man too weak to be worth killing the thought

that the man Virgo once looked up to is gone now was brutal Jillian can clearly see the spirit of a warrior in Virgo so he tosses his sword to him and un sheathes his other blade he reminds Virgo about how he is now bound to Another's will but for this moment he's ready to show his former comrade the highest level of respect as the captain of The ratatosk Mercenaries for Virgo this feels like a dream come true he quickly grabs the dagger and launches himself into battle the two Clash with all their might their weapons

exchanging blows at such speed that only Sparks Fly they seem evenly matched standing on equal footing until Jillian strikes he thrusts his blade into Virgo's ribs with Brutal force despite the Savage blow Virgo refuses to give up he pushes forward and retaliates back but his last attack is feudal and Jillian is on the verge verge of severing Virgo's head in that moment Jillian speaks he promises his former comrade that he will remember him as the fifth unit commander of the ratatosk mercenaries Virgo valanos for Virgo it's a heartwarming moment to be recognized by the captain

of The ratatosk Mercenaries fills him with Pride he smiles one last time before Gillian's sword ends the life of this proud warrior once the fight is officially over Gillian grabs the dagger his comrade was using gizan also comes out of the carriage with Belinda and the first thing they notice is the [ __ ] ton of Limbs and dead bodies scattered around Belinda comments how they could easily bring in quite a bit of money by looting these dead bodies Jillian bows his head in apology for the unnecessary Delays but our boy reassures him that there's

no need to worry about it he then can't help but recognize just how exceptional Jillian is far more than he had originally thought you see in gizenk previous life when he first left home to start his mercenary work the stories about Gillian were a significant influence in laying the foundation for him to eventually become the mercenary King now he's grateful that his quick actions have earned him such a reliable Comrade he then notices Jillian holding on to the dagger Virgo was using so he asks the big guy if he knew that person Jillian quickly confirms

that he does remember this person he even mentions that they were once old comrades The Mention Of Old comrades causes gizan to reflect on his friends from his previous life he wonders what they might be doing now since he had not met them at this time in his previous life he sure they are living their own lives but he plans To find them and recruit them into his party as well anyway now that everything is cleared he decides to follow Belinda's suggestion and gather anything valuable these guys have the lady happily acknowledges it and commands

Jillian to take the lead and collect them for us but the brute Warrior reminds her that he is not her subordinate 2 days later we find ourselves in perum territory after many days our party has finally made it into Their land after riding for what feels like forever The Brute asks if this is perum to which our boy confirms when gizan Peaks at his territory through the carriage he feels good to have a home to return to when he first ran away from home he thought he would be able to come back at any time

but he was dead wrong he then turns to Jillian and asks for his opinion about this place The Brood is momentarily caught off guard to hear this and is not sure how to respond so He just says it's great but our boy knows that this place is awful and as much as Gillian hates to admit it it's indeed in a bad State all the houses are outdated Renovations are out of the question and the fields are completely uncultivated all the farmers have been conscripted into the military leaving the land forcibly fallow gilean then reveals the

rumors he has heard that perum is always at War because of the northern barbarians but after seeing it Firsthand the situation is worse than gilean had expected to which my guy states that this is one of the many problems he wants to resolve and this is precisely why he needs the strength of the ratatosk mercenaries Captain he's sure it will be a long battle a battle to eliminate everything connected to Duke deline and to protect what was taken for granted our boy will revive this land no matter what once they finally make their way through

the Pavement of the castle Belinda is shocked when she notices something unexpected in their way the man in front of them is actually our boy's father the man who had been missing since the beginning of the series
