Chapter 139
Critics of Mountain King Kim Jong-pil always have their go-to arguments.
― Is he more destructive and impactful than the Fighting King?
― More dazzling and versatile than the Ten Thousand King?
― Brainy? Commanding? Changing the paradigm of the battlefield? Honestly, that’s all an illusion. Show us the visible stats.
― Good stats? Pfft, that’s only because he was with the Fighting King and Ten Thousand King. Without those two, would there even be a Mountain King?

Luxury supporting actor, eternal second place…
Even though every hunter who fought alongside him praised him to no end, these haters never acknowledged him.

How wild must they have gone when Mountain King joined Mir Guild?
― Mountain King is washed up now.
― His descent to League 4 is proof he’s obsolete.
Especially when Mountain King pledged not to reveal his full strength until League 1, they drooled like strays starved for three days.
Ẽ nüm̂.а
― He admitted he has no competitiveness!
― Watch, when they fail promotion, he’ll just excuse it as “because of the pledge.”
Like this, Mountain King had been doubted his entire career.
However,

Here, Kang Malsuk and the raid team thought:
If anyone dared spout that crap in front of us right now, we’d gladly smash their faces in.
Е́nú m̊а̄ . і̄ d
Doubt? The fuck, after seeing this, you still doubt!?
“Uwaaaaaagh!!”
“Sa, save… kukkuhgk!!”
A colossal stump strike sent Team 2’s juniors flying.
A fully formed formation of tanks, dealers, and supporters collided head-on with the charging stumps — and were pulverized.
A few from Team 1 tried rushing forward through the gap, but the grass surged like waves and vines shot upward.

“Fuck!!”
“Dodge!!”
The vines danced like snakes, and the raid team was tangled, forced into a death waltz.
There was no hope.
Vines, roots, branches, stumps — even the grass carpeting the ground.
All of it was an enemy.
W̃ë b̄nоv̀ е l̀ Е́ň ũ.m̌ ȧ
Every shade of green in this world was both Mountain King’s weapon and his fortress.
Look — another young tank from Team 2 just got smashed by a stump blow.

The hand holding the shield bent backward. That’s retirement.
With this, all of Team 2’s young hunters were wiped out.
Looking back, Team 2 was screaming and crying, and the healers ran to their side.
Kang Malsuk thought:
Ӗǹ um̊ а̀ . і̌ ḋ
Were the seven healers meant for this purpose…?
“Heh heh. Daydreaming while fighting me?”
“!!”
In that instant, Kang Malsuk noticed a shadow beneath her feet.

Massive stumps, nearly the size of trucks, were barreling toward her like high-speed trains.
Five of them! It had only taken two to crush Team 2, and now five were aimed at her!!
Еn̂ ūḿа. і̂ d
Kang Malsuk gripped her shield until it nearly cracked and clenched her teeth.
Kwa-jijijijik─!
“Hhhkk!!”
With a thunderous crack like splitting wood, Kang Malsuk staggered, her shield rattling. The impact rattled her mind.
When was the last time she’d felt such a blow?
When she blocked a level 7 boss’s strike alone? Or when she faced a ranked friend’s level 8 magic head-on?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
One thing was certain: this was greater, not lesser, than those.
Then came another scream nearby.
“Uwaaagh!!”
A man, the dealer who had opposed her earlier, was bound in tree vines, shrieking.
Like a giant squid’s tentacle, the vines twirled him around before slamming him down.
-Thud!!
Ё ǹŭ m а.і̃ d
Dust puffed up from the ground.
She clenched her eyes shut. No doubt, that was a forced retirement too.

If she hadn’t blocked the stumps, she would’ve ended up like that herself.
Even now, screams echoed nonstop. The forest moved like a living creature, catching humans like mice.
Even while dealing with Kang Malsuk, Mountain King was smashing everything around him.
Perfect multitasking. Bone-chilling area control. And limitless mana.
Ẁе̊ b̃ nо́ṽ ē ĺ Е̂ n um а́
So this is Mountain King…
A living legend. A one-of-a-kind commander. The brain of the Three Kings.
Kang Malsuk shivered at the sheer weight of the word “legend.”
But then a voice chilled her blood.

“Oh ho, but you’ve trained well. Even off guard, your core held firm.”
“!!”
Ѐ n̆.u ṁ ӑ
The voice was right in front of her.
Kang Malsuk tried to lower her shield and ready her mace—
But her eyes widened. Right in front of her, a white robe fluttered.
He was already here!?
“Malsuk-ah, you know…”
“!!”

She hurried to draw her mace, but—
Kim Jong-pil’s foot kicked her hand away before she could grip it.
“…In metrics like area control, maintenance, and defense, you’re not lacking at all compared to top-tier tanks.
But do you know why you can’t play in arena battles?”
“…?!”
“It’s because…”
Ẃѐbn оv ѐ ĺ Ёǹu̇m̄ а
Kim Jong-pil’s arm, reinforced with tree vines, shoved aside her shield and gripped the seam of her armor.
“…you’re weak in close combat.”

Kwaaaang―!!
With spirit power cloaking his body, Mountain King grappled, and the ground quaked. The impact was so strong it caused a small earthquake.
Kang Malsuk, embedded in a massive crater, mumbled with blurred consciousness:
“B-but… you… said… you couldn’t… do close combat…”
Е̂n úm а̇
“Heh heh, erase that preconception. On the battlefield, anything can happen.”
The standard was the Fighting King and Ten Thousand King.
Mountain King wasn’t lacking — it was just that those two were monstrous.
Watching Mountain King turn away loosely, Kang Malsuk thought:

Washed up?
Not washed up. Monster.
W еb no̊vе l Е ṅùm̄ а
[Not at all lacking compared to rankers…]
Kang Malsuk, buried in the ground, fainted.
It wasn’t only those on the receiving end who were shocked.
Park Su-bin and Yu Rira sat crouched on the hill, mouths hanging open in dumbfounded awe.
“Ah, ah……”
“Ah……”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Perhaps this side was even more shocked.
They’d been together every day for years, but it was their first time seeing him like that!!
“O-our grandpa was that strong?!”
If Yu Rira couldn’t adjust to the fact that her supporter, who always laughed “hoho” and granted any request, had been hiding his strength……
“Wow…… perfect……”
Then Park Su-bin was simply amazed.
Ẅ.е b̊n оv́ el Ėn̆ u m а̂
Territorial domination using various plant magic, CC chains that flowed naturally, attacks with stumps and vines and finally finishing off Kang Malsuk with a surprise grappling move—there was nothing to say but admiration.
“That was possible because.”

“The one who made that possible was.”
Both spoke at once, and their gazes turned in one direction.
Beside Mountain stood a stag whose antlers shone with a mysterious green light.
The strongest plant spirit in existence—‘Vita.’
Wе bn̄оv̊ еľ Е̂n üm̃å
“Top-grade wood spirit Vita. The highest-ranking spirit of the plant system. Guardian of the ‘World Tree.’ Specialty……”
Catching the gazes of Rira and Su-bin, Lee Shin crunched on his popcorn and said:
“Everything that can be done with plants.”
“!!”

KWAANG―!!
The forest rose up.
W еb̊ n̆оv̈ ѐl̇ Еñu m̈а̌
Startled, Rira and Su-bin turned to see Vita howling at the sky.
I am nature.
I am the mountain.
Thus my master is the king of this mountain.
Behind Kim Jong-pil, who soared with his robes fluttering, vines shot upward like a waterfall.
Jack of “Jack and the Beanstalk” climbed to the heavens with just one bean plant? Vita intended to lead them to the heavens with these countless vines.

The vines began thrashing the ground.
“T-that’s broken!!”
With trembling eyes, Yu Rira pointed at Vita.
“T-that’s way too strong! It’s broken!! Wasn’t Grandpa an intelligence type? A commander! Th-the unparalleled commander!”
“He is a commander. Commander of the trees.”
“How does that look like a commander!!”
Е́ ñ u̇ m̃ а. і d̄
“Why isn’t it? To the elder, those trees are soldiers. That’s why he's the Mountain King.”
“That’s right, noona……Captain is controlling everything you see there.”

“Eh?!”
Park Su-bin could see it. In truth, Mountain King battle was very similar to his own.
If Park Su-bin manipulated his orbs for ‘defense first’ and then used mana-formed giant arms for ‘counterattack’—
Then Kim Jong-pil manipulated spirits to alter the terrain, cornered his enemies, and then struck with powerful blows using stumps or vines.
Ẁ еb ṅо̊ v̂ ѐ l Е̌ n̆ um̆ӑ
Park Su-bin could guarantee—that was not something just anyone could do.
Strategy and tactics were just the basics. Test knowledge, understanding of distance, effective range of mana, total amount of dominion that could be projected.
And finally, the brainpower to handle a massive ecosystem like a forest.
Without being Mountain King, such feats were impossible.

Suddenly—Park Su-bin turned his eyes to Lee Shin. Don’t tell me he knew this and paired me with Mountain King……
Yet even under that gaze, Lee Shin only kept munching on popcorn.

“Hehe, now you see why no one ever complained about the elder’s exploits?”
Even if he performed astonishingly with four-man airborne combos and all sorts of CC, nobody ever accused Mountain King of breaking the rules.
Why? Because he hadn’t summoned Vita.
Wind spirits? Water spirits? Those were just branches.
Vita was Mountain King’s Alpha and Omega.
As the ground was being devastated, Baek Yeon-woo, who had calmly been watching, opened his mouth for the first time.

“Hyung.”
“Yeah?”
“Mountain King captain. He’s way stronger than in the League Matches, isn’t he?”
“Ah, Yeon-woo said it well. I forgot to explain that.”
In truth, there was a difference between League Matches and real combat power.
You could say it was slightly regulated by the Bureau.
Еń u̇ m̊ а
“See, top-tier combat is really over in an instant. A single lapse in focus and it’s done. But if you showed that in the League Matches it’s not entertaining, right?”
“……So they make it weaker, why?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
“What the Bureau wants is a ‘show’ and a ‘sport’ to make Hunters widely known. Sports need competition, right? A good example is them.”
“……?”
Lee Shin’s finger pointed at the busy healers.
“Even they fix fractures and external injuries in a snap. That’s why battles like this are possible. But think carefully? If they can do this already, what about top-tier healers?”
Е̃nůṁ а̂. і d́
“……!”
“They’ll revive you as long as you’re still breathing. They’re basically zombies. And then what happens to balance in League Matches?”
“……I get it.”
For more intense matches, League Matches had to be regulated. Starting with debuffs at the beginning, and gradually releasing them over time.

It was a kind of balance patch.
“So, in short, combat power in these ‘unregulated gates’ is the true combat power!”
Е.n ǔ m а. і̂ d̂
“Wait, so the reason Representative hyung came here to North Korea was for this?”
At Su-bin’s words, Lee Shin smiled with his eyes.
“Only going into Bureau-regulated gates isn’t a good choice. You’ve got to drag your potential out to the bottom like this. That’s how you become a great Hunter.”
This was real combat.
Every character had stat limits, and you couldn’t grow beyond them even by spending points. The only way to raise them was through ‘training.’
And nothing trained you better than real combat.

“All right, explanation over.”
Lee Shin jerked his chin toward the battlefield.
“You guys go.”
“??”
“??”
“??”

There? Into that mess?
“For real? Really?”

“You want us to go fight?”
“……There?”
Yu Rira dumbly let out a “heh,” Park Su-bin tilted his head, and even Baek Yeon-woo looked a little surprised.
Lee Shin burst out laughing loudly.
Е̊n ùm̈ а̊
‘Cute kids.’
“Better to see once than hear a hundred times, and better to get hit once than see a hundred times. What are you doing not getting up? Think I’m joking?”
Go and get beaten.
Lee Shin grinned wickedly and shoved them forward.

Awkwardly, the kids were pushed onto the battlefield.
Not long after they left, a voice came from behind.

“You said you had a method, but I never imagined it would be something this ‘direct.’”
“Oh, Yushin-hyung, you’re here.”
Kim Yushin plopped down beside Lee Shin.
“At first I was surprised, but the more I think about it, the more effective it seems. Battles in the Rift are qualitatively different from real fights in the field. The only issues are pain and injuries……but we have plenty of healers.”
Kim Yushin’s gaze turned to the healers. Sacred, magical, shamanic, even pharmaceutical healers were gathered like a general hospital. Fractures, even organ damage, would be no problem.
Then Lee Shin shook a pouch proudly.

“I filled a subspace pouch with top-grade potions. They’ll hunt monsters by day and spar by night. An endless cycle. Isn’t it great?”
Breathing? Teamwork? Chemistry?
If they fight side by side, they’ll sync up.
If not?
No, Lee Shin was certain. They’d sync up. They had no choice.
Because they’d keep getting beaten until they did.
Еn̊ um̆а̇
“Hehehe. Syncing up by taking hits together. Beautiful!”
And on that note—

“Hyung, you should get ready too.”
“Really…… I can’t handle you, Representative.”
Kim Yushin shook his head but Lee Shin saw the corners of his lips raised.
That hyung was excited.

The next day.
After being ‘forcibly’ beaten into shape in just one day, Kang Malsuk and the strike team stood there with soulless expressions.
Before them stood a silver knight.

“Let’s see your skills.”
