Chapter 336 – Long Ago for a Crazy Bitch (3)
After I challenged Do Ye-hee to a duel with her in order to protect her heir’s right to inherit her city, Hee-hee, and accepted her duel request on her own terms.
We agreed to start the duel after a bit of maintenance, to be precise, time to temporarily heal Do Ye-hee’s injuries from the previous battle.
You might say that it was necessary to give time to heal the wounds, but this kind of thing had to start in a fair state to each other so that there would be no back talk.
It was a necessary procedure in order not to come out behind the scenes like a cowardly victory over the injured after winning at best.
Listening to Sihee and Eunbyeol, it seems that a duel victory against an injured person is sometimes called a ‘disgraceful victory’.
In the first place, there were only two people who could be called witnesses, Si-hee and Eun-byeol, so if only the two of them kissed each other, there would be no dishonorable victory or anything leaked out.
I stopped because I didn’t want to tarnish the honor of the two because of the duel I started.
If you spread false information like that, you don’t know what kind of disadvantage it will come back to the two later.
Do Ye-hee poured a self-healing potion on the wound on her shoulder, and soon after, the wound on her shoulder healed in an instant, as if it had been washed with water.
A recovery potion that works that fast would probably be quite expensive.
It was certainly unrestrained spending like a woman from a chaebol family.
Actually, if I used my recovery magic, I should have been able to heal much faster and more reliably, but I didn’t bother doing that.
I didn’t want to let that woman know that I could use recovery magic, and even if I did, I didn’t really want to use it.
Whether it’s a sacred duel or whatever, it doesn’t change the fact that that woman hurt Doshi-hee.
It was like robbing Doshi-hee, who should have had a good time with me, so I couldn’t help but be doubly excited.
Even if it wasn’t an excuse to duel, he probably still had a desire to defeat that woman at least once.
In the meantime, the legal duel… It wasn’t, but the chance to strike arose under the agreement, so I had no reason to hesitate or run away.
In the process, it would have been better if Si-hee could protect the successor’s right to inherit, which was in danger of being lost.
“It’s a duel that you walked in first, so don’t say anything else later. When this duel is over, you, who only adversely affects Si-hee, will disappear from that child’s side forever.”
“If you ‘win’ the duel, she would ‘disappear.'”
“… Well, it might be.”
Do Ye-hee confidently answers with a shameless attitude as if she had already won.
She stood facing her, her scutum shield in one hand, and her mithril greatsword in the other, in her stance.
“From the depths of the earth, I call a creature to do my bidding, here with magic and natural power…”
As the woman facing me summoned mud golems from the floor with a chant, my body also leaned forward.
With the heart in his heart that he would give back just twice as much as what Sihee suffered.

The duel between Do Ye-hee and Kim Seong-chul, which suddenly began.
Si-hee and Eun-byeol watched the fight between the two people from a distance a little farther away.
“Uh, what should I do… Farewell? If Mr. Seongcheol were to lose, then I…”
“…”
“Ah… I didn’t mean to create a situation like this… Why did it end up like this…”
Seeing Sihee muttering to herself with a very uneasy voice next to her, Eunbyul also began to feel bad feelings in her heart little by little.
Earth Mage, Do Ye-hee.
Since the years I worked as an employee of Dokyung Group were not short, I had a lot of opportunities to meet Yehee Do, and since I was Eunbyeol, I knew her magical skills well before that.
Even if it was Kim Seong-cheol, he naturally felt that it would be difficult to win easily against Do Ye-hee.
I already knew his skills from the Kraken subjugation and the battles we had together in the last meeting, but it was only a battle against a monster without intelligence.
Eun-byeol quietly guessed in her heart that perhaps Do Ye-hee had far more duels with Hunter vs. Hunter.
“…”
Even so, she knew better than anyone that there was nothing she could do in this situation.
If she had the power to protect Shi-Hee, she would have challenged Do-Hee to a duel without hesitation in the same situation as before.
Before that, in the internal competition of the Geumhyang Group, there would have been no such thing as being treated as a throwaway horse and being alienated.
Once again, Eunbyul was acutely aware of the powerlessness of her own power, and at the same time, respect for Kim Seongcheol, who challenged Yehee Do to a duel without hesitation, rose in many ways.
He wasn’t sure how much his opponent’s capabilities were, but he didn’t hesitate to raise his sword and shield to protect something precious.
In this situation, if you compare it to yourself who doesn’t even have the spirit to go out, you can’t help but feel more confident.
“Sir Seongcheol…”
“…”
… Even so, in the end, all these actions would only be meaningful if he won the duel.
Eunbyeol also witnessed the duel with her own two eyes with a trembling heart while holding Sihee’s hand as she was shaking in anxiety.
Please, with earnest desire in my heart for Kim Seong-cheol to win.
“A creature that will do my bidding in the depths of the earth…”
The duel between the two begins with Do Ye-hee’s mud golem summoning technique.
As soon as a mound of earth rose from her floor due to her earth mage’s magic, Seongchul Kim’s body with her sword and shield also sprang toward her.
Skillfully pushing the body of a mud golem rising in front of his eyes with his shield and then splitting it in half with his mithril greatsword.
It was a neat movement without any superfluities, as if he had used a sword and shield to deal with a mud golem before.
“From the heart of nature I cry out. Arise, vines of the earth…”
As Seongcheol Kim slashes the mud golem and moves forward, this time dozens of mud vines rise from the ground.
He dodged the vines rushing towards one person from all sides with a high jump, then swung his greatsword filled with sword energy in the air and cut through the mud vines at the point where he would fall.
Half of the dozens of mud vines returned to the ground as they were, due to Kim Seong-cheol’s explosion, which was split crosswise twice.
Then, as soon as he landed on the ground again, he quickly swung his greatsword and cleared the rest of the mud vines in a clean move.
At this point, Si-hee and Eun-byeol could also notice that the current battle was going in a completely different way from the previous battle.
“… Mr. Seongcheol?”
“Seongcheol Kim…”
I don’t know if he heard the voices of the two people calling his name behind him, but after removing even the mud vines, Kim Seong-chul moved toward Do Ye-hee again.
Do Ye-hee, who began to show embarrassment, hurriedly continued to try to block him with a new summoning magic.
‘Gig gug gag…’
A gigantic mud golem that rises from the ground with a huge vibration that makes the ground vibrate slightly.
Unlike the previous golems, it boasted a size of a different dimension, reminiscent of a mudrello.
In the battle between the two, the summoned mud giant threw a huge lump of mud from the floor towards Kim Seong-cheol.
‘Quaak!’
“… !!”
A huge lump crashed to the floor with a loud noise that made it impossible to believe that it had just come from a pile of mud.
Although Kim Seong-cheol responded with momentary quickness and avoided it, it was a blow that would have undoubtedly resulted in serious injuries if it had been hit head-on.
In addition, the mud giant’s attack was pouring down with furious speed several times as if it didn’t end with just one.
As if denying the popular belief that the larger the size, the duller it is, Do Ye-hee’s summoned beast picked up piles of dirt and rocks from the floor several times and threw them at him.
Kim Seong-cheol narrowed the distance little by little by dodging all the attacks raining down on him with quick steps, blocking them with his shield, or cutting them with his sword.
“… Now, get down!”
It was Do Ye-hee, who did not give up even in the unfavorable war situation and created attribute magic several times to somehow tie him down with new attacks.
For Kim Seong-chul, who has already skillfully avoided and dealt with even magic, which could be said to be his main weapon, the last attacks were so crude that he could not even buy time.
Kim Seong-chul, who approached Ye-hee Do while avoiding rocks and piles of dirt falling from the sky, was able to narrow the distance to the point where his sword strikes.
As soon as she swung her sword at her once, her sword spirit flew from the tip of his sword and flew in a straight line towards Do Ye-hee’s body.
“Kuhhh… !”
Although he was able to block Seongcheol Kim’s blow by using a mud shield created instantaneously, it was impossible to completely absorb the damage as it was a shield created instantaneously.
“Aww!”
Do Ye-hee’s body, hit by the sword that could not be stopped, tilted slightly backwards for an instant.
At the same time, her concentration is scattered and her magic is scattered without being completed.
While watching the battle, Eunbyeol definitely felt that this moment was the most appropriate time to win.
It was the same content that Kim Seong-cheol, who was in the middle of the battle, also remembered.
‘Fuck!’
“Kyaaaaagh!”
After getting hit by Kim Seong-cheol’s shield bash, Do Ye-hee’s body flew through the air for a while.
This time, she couldn’t even afford to use earth magic to shake off the mud clinging to her body, so her body rolled across the floor of her dungeon.
Before Do Ye-hee came to her senses, another strong shock hit her body.
“Aaaaagh!”
The body of the captured young lady flew through the air once more.
The shock was so great that she couldn’t keep her concentration properly, so her last summoned creature, the mud giant, also collapsed to the ground as a huge pile of dirt.
In fact, in that situation, Sihee and Eunbyeol could be sure of Kim Seongcheol’s victory.
“… Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!”
Just when I thought that all that was left was Do Ye-hee’s declaration of surrender, her clear voice rang in the dungeon.
The third time, Seongcheol Kim’s scutum shield, which was about to blow away Yehee Do, stopped in front of her body.
“Sir Seongcheol… !!”
“Kim Seong-cheol!”
Certain that the duel was over, Si-hee and Eun-byeol quickly moved to the two who were rolling on the mud floor.
“… Gee, aaaaagh?!
What came back was not Kim Seong-cheol’s declaration of victory, but Do Ye-hee’s bright scream.
“Hey, what is this?! Surrender, surrender!”
“…”
“Could it be that the Guild Hunter is so ignorant that he doesn’t even know what the word surrender means?! It means admitting defeat… Turn it off, cuckaaaaa?!”
Do Ye-hee’s second declaration of surrender did not lead to the end and stopped with pain.
Because Kim Seong-chul’s sharp fist, with the tips of her fingers raised slightly, dug deep into her stomach and made her scream out.
“Hey, what is this! In a duel, it is only natural for the winner to accept the surrender of the loser… Evil, ah!! Aagh!!”
About ten minutes from the moment the duel between Kim Seong-chul and Do Ye-hee began.
Even though it was a close battle between the two, who had already clearly won, Do Ye-hee’s surrender was hardly accepted.
