< King of Forest 1 >

Mupalun stares at the sky with a blank expression. He was currently stretched out onto the floor.

My whole body ached. And it was hard to find a place without bruises.

‘What the……. ’

It was ridiculous. It was devastating. And the extreme helplessness wrapped around my whole body.

I've never been so miserably shattered before.

Moreover, I hardly remember being hit by anyone since I became a Great Warrior.

Even the strongest warriors can win with their eyes closed.

A large number of strong warriors attack simultaneously in order to get a whiff of Mupalun. That too, at the risk of his life.

So I missed the existence of the enemy.

‘Because of that…… No, no. That's not it. It's pride. I was too arrogant to believe in one such power. ’

I couldn't even count how many I got hit. Besides, I couldn't hit a single one.

The stone blocks all attacks on Mupalun and avoids them all. And that's one paper difference.

With the opposing Pokémon so tightly avoiding, there is no way to clear the gap after the attack.

Once you swing your sword, you have to endure more than ten strokes with your body.

And I found out when the fight was over. Hyun-seok was taking care of himself a lot.

If you really had the heart and the right fight, it would be a fight that would end in one blow.

“Hnng.”

Mupalun rises slowly. My whole body ached, but I could still move my teeth.

Fortunately, the bones were not injured. Muscle shock. What was even more surprising was that it hurt, but it didn't hurt much.

It really hurt. It was so painful that I didn't know when it would hurt like this.

Nevertheless, there were no areas where my body was badly injured and had to be treated for a long time or I could not use the function at all.

You are not in bad shape enough to be able to fight again even if you endure the pain.

The problem is that you have to endure a lot of pain.

After enduring the pain like that, Mupalun stands a little distance away and looks at the stone looking this way.

He slowly clenches his fist again and starts walking towards himself, shaking his hands fiercely.

“Enough! I've lost! Let's stop now!”

Watchers were so desperate that they shook their heads.

Hyun-seok stopped walking and pulled his strength from his fist.

“Any promises?”

Mufalun nods immediately. Just like if you're a little late, you'll get in trouble.

“I'm a man of my word once and for all. You don't have to worry about that. ”

Lila smiles brightly at Mufalun's declaration.

“Thank you so much, Mufalun! ”

Mufalun smiles bitterly.

“You're just keeping your promise. What's there to thank me for?" I should thank him for beating me. ”

“Absolutely. I'm going to thank him and reward him separately. ”

Hyun-seok silently watches over the sheep of Lyla and Mufalun, then suddenly asks.

“But can only two really be kings? ”

The words make Mupalun look confident. He believed that if he didn't do so, he could change the direction of power in a heartbeat.

However, Lyla's expression was thoroughly discreet.

“I can't guarantee that……. ”

Lyla looks at Mufalun closely and says:

“There are many warriors following Mufalun. With their support and strength…… there is enough possibility. ”

Hyun-seok looks at Lyla and Mupalun alternately. Then I looked at Lyla again and asked.

“Those snoopers I caught earlier, how good did you think they were? ”

“Yes? Yes……. ”

I honestly don't know. The string is so easy and simple to catch.

However, when I saw the appearance of the strikes against Mupalun, I thought that they might be a great force.

“Once the three of them are together, we can defeat Mufalun. ”

“No way! ”

“That's ridiculous! ”

Lila opens her eyes wide, startled. Mufalun stares at the stone.

But soon they both came back to reality. It's because I now know that it's not impossible.

Mupalun couldn't understand. How did you end up in the forest when you were chosen?

Hyun-seok waited for the two of them to calm down.

No matter what alternative you offer, it doesn't matter if they can't make a cold decision.

Hyun-seok knew exactly what they had captured earlier. I've checked their levels, stats, and skills with my mind.

Mupalun and Lyla say something prepared that they think they've recovered their cool.

The gaze of Hyundai turned on Mupalun.

“You think you're the only one who's been chosen in the forest, but you're not. ”

“What?"

Mufalun is surprised.

How does a stone know the choice of the forest? Besides, there's another chosen one, not alone. What are you talking about?

He asked with a bold expression and tone.

“I thought you knew. You're not the only one chosen, you're the only surviving warrior. ”

Then Mufalun nods and accepts. That's right. There are a lot of chosen ones. You just have to inflict pain until one of them is left to filter out the other.

Lila shakes her head as she listens.

“The shadows of the forest are great, but I didn't know it was that great. ”

Mufalun's eyebrows twitch in her words.

“Forest Shadow? They're here? ”

Forest shadows were an organization specialized in infiltration, surveillance and assassination. It was the best for all three areas.

“How many are there? ”

“Twenty of them. ”

“Really?"

Mupalun's eyes widen. He also knew that there was a lot of money in the shadows of the forest.

“That means a lot of money is being spent to make a king. ”

Mufalun nods. His expression was not that serious.

“It won't be easy for those who want war to come together. ”

Lyla nods as if she agrees with Mufalun.

“That's right. When they get together…… power is power, but it won't make a difference in funding. ”

At that time, a string of stones was interrupted.

“Can you win by filling the gap in funding? ”

The question silences Mufalun and Lyla. And I thought with a serious face. I tried to calculate in my own way whether there was really a possibility or how many others.

“As expected... I can't be sure. So...... there's a big difference in power. But I'm not gonna get beat up. ”

Lyla's eyes sparkle like a star. Her eyes were burning with determination and unwavering conviction.

Mufalun looks at her eyes and nods.

“Combining all the warriors who follow me will not bring the enemy to power. But it'll be worth a shot. I'm over here. Ah, those shadowy forests are gonna be a problem. ”

Mufalun frowns. The shadows of the forest were a very tricky organization.

Until now, I had no idea they were so strong, but now that their strength has been added and calculated, I've become a more difficult opponent.

Mufalun looks at the stone and asks.

“What in the world is that forest shadow? How else did you know they were chosen for the forest? ”

Of course, I checked through my mind. Not to mention the shadows of the forest, but to Mufalun.

[Mupaloon-Medina Toon's Great Warrior. One of a thousand warriors chosen by the forest. He survived the forest trials to the end and earned the title of the Great Warrior. You've mastered the Forest Martial Arts, which is only given to Great Warriors.]

This was Mupalun's information, which he confirmed through his mind. Of course, there were more descriptions of stats or titles, but the information was meaningless to him.

And the information about the forest shadow was a little more unusual than Mupalun.

[32nd Forest Shadow- a member of the secret forest shadows. One of a thousand warriors chosen by the forest. The test of the forest was unsuccessful, but a forced awakening awakened the power of the melted forest to its potential.]

The metaphor for this information is that there is a way for an organization called the Forest Shadow to mask the warrior chosen by the forest.

It was also found that the warrior could be forcibly Awakened and exploded in a single moment.

If you really mustered all those thousand warriors and forced them to awaken, the Forest Shadow would be the most powerful organization in the entire forest, not to mention Medina toons.

‘But you can't have all the warriors. ’

It takes a lot of money, time and effort to recruit thousands of warriors and train them to become members of the organization.

Moreover, the personnel who enter there will be enormous.

So it's inevitable to pull the rest out from the top to some degree.

About 100? 300, at most. ’

That was the number of people that Hyun-seok thought about. Maybe less.

The most reliable calculation was to use 50 people as forest shadows and to gather 100 reserve warriors to train them and prepare them for deployment at any time.

Of course, the support for them will be quite poor.

Until then, he glanced at Mupalun, shining his eyes.

“Can you teach me the Martial Arts of the Forest if I can find the chosen warriors and unlock their potential?" ”

Mupalun opens his eyes wide to the question of the stone.

“How... did you know that? ”

No one knows that he has mastered the jungle. He was the only one who knew.

In fact, everyone in Medinatun knew that the city was chosen to become a Great Warrior, and that they could enter the Stone Chamber where only the Great Warrior could enter and gain power.

However, it was only Mufalun, the Great Warrior, who knew that the only thing he learned there was Forest Martial Arts.

In fact, only Mufalun knew that he gained power when he was given a choice in the forest and that he learned how to use it effectively.

But someone else knew about it.

“What exactly are you? Maybe……. ”

Mupalun wondered if Hyun-seok was a full-grown warrior. But soon, I shook my head. To do that, the appearance of the stone was too young.

And the whole battalion is definitely dead. Mufalun makes sure that the burial was well attended, and that he was lying there in peace.

Then what the hell is he? Was it a warrior who was chosen by the forest at the same time as himself and survived the test to the end?

“Just think of it as someone who knows it well, and it's easy to move on, so do it. What's the answer anyway?”

Mupalun pauses. It was a martial art reserved only for the Great Warrior. But can I teach it to other warriors?

It was difficult to decide. However, Mufalun nods heavily.

I promised Lyla I'd be with her anyway. Then it is the heart of the right warrior to strive to make her king.

“Fine. I'll do it if I can. But is that really possible? ”

Hyun-seok laughed.

Why not? Here in Medina toon, there's even a giant enchantment to make that possible.

Looking at his smile, I felt relieved for some reason.

Mupalun and Lyla are secretly smiling along the fence.
