Chapter 438

Right after Siegfried collapsed

Woooong!

Brunhilde used her mana to summon her Holy Sword: Phoenix from the weapon rack.

Clang!

Then, she jumped right between them and blocked Chae Hyung-Seoks attack.

Are you alright, honey?

I-Im alright Argh! Siegfried grimaced in pain as he forced himself back to his feet.

Brunhilde pointed her sword at Chae Hyung-Seok and said, I will make you pay for hurting my husband.

Chae Hyung-Seok smirked and replied, You will make me pa

Heuuuung!

Verdandi frowned and extended her hands toward Chae Hyung-Seok.

Woooong!

A powerful burst of mana shot out from the hands of the baby, who was only a few months old, and the mana was powerful enough to pressure Chae Hyung-Seok.

Argh!

Chae Hyung-Seok grimaced, seemingly in pain and retreated a few steps.

Heuuuuung! Verdandi continued to apply the pressure on him, and her face seemed to be saying, dont hurt my papa!'

!

!

Siegfried and Brunhilde were shocked, but they immediately snapped out of it.

They didn't have the luxury to stand around and watch their baby in awe.

The enemy of the kingdom and Siegfrieds mortal nemesis had managed to invade the royal castle.

I dont know how you managed to come here, but Siegfried said while clenching his fists. However, he was genuinely curious deep inside, But seriously How the hell did he get in here?

He racked his brains, but he could not think of a method Chae Hyung-Seok could have used to infiltrate so deep inside the kingdom.

If he was being honest, he was absolutely horrified. What if Chae Hyung-Seok managed to sneak in while Brunhilde and Verdandi were all alone?

A chill traveled down Siegfrieds spine just from thinking about it.

Hey, Hyung-Seok. I have no idea how you got in, but youre not getting out as easily as you came in. This isnt somewhere you can simply waltz in and out, you know? Siegfried said.

You will pay with your life, Brunhilde added.

Siegfried and Brunhilde walked toward Chae Hyung-Seok, who was still being immobilized by Verdandis mana. When they were about to kill the intruder, Deus suddenly appeared and stopped them.

Halt! Stop that at once! he shouted.

Huh? S-Stop? Siegfried tilted his head in confusion.

Are you deaf? Deus asked in response.

No, I am not, Master.

Good.

But, Master This bastard is my mortal neme

Deus flatly ignored him and turned to Brunhilde.

Yes, Grandfather? she replied with a bow.

Take her and leave, Deus said as he picked up the baby and passed her over.

Surprisingly, Verdandi smiled brightly and acted like a baby once again, as if she had never shown such a fearsome mana just a few moments ago.

Guu? Gwanpa! Gwanpa! Kyaaah!

Meanwhile, Siegfried couldn't make heads or tails of the situation. W-Whats going on?

I wonder what Grandfather is thinking Brunhilde wondered as well. However, she did not retort or ask anything as she knew that Deus was not someone who would do something without a reason.

We will be taking our leave now, honey, Brunhilde said.

O-Okay, he replied.

As expected, Siegfried did not stop them from leaving.

Master, may I ask what is going on right now?

Its nothing special, Deus curtly replied. Then, he added, Think of him as a sparring partner who will help you obtain the new skill.

S-Sparring partner? Siegfried was in utter disbelief.

Chae Hyung-Seok was his sparring partner who would help him learn a new skill? What kind of nonsense was this? Why would Chae Hyung-Seok, of all people, be his sparring partner?

Is this some sort of prank? Siegfried started to doubt if this was even real, but he soon realized that it was very much real.

Then, have fun, Deus said nonchalantly before leaving.

Argh Keke! No ones here to protect you now, Han Tae-Sung, Chae Hyung-Seok sneered as he stood up.

Protect? Who said I need any protection from you? Siegfried grumbled in disbelief.

Who was stronger between them? It was Siegfried, without a doubt. In other words, why would Siegfried need any protection from Chae Hyung-Seok? Anyone could tell that Chae Hyung-Seok was talking nonsense right now!

Well, I guess this isnt bad at all, Siegfried said as he cracked his knuckles. Then, he cracked his neck and said, Ive been looking for a sandbag these days, and youre perfect for it.

So please stop disturbing me and continue elsewhere. I am quite busy as it is, Michele said.

Pat! Pat! Pat!

He dusted off his files before continuing with his work. It was amazing how he could still focus on his work, even though a section of his office walls had just been destroyed.

Chae Hyung-Seok snickered and sneered, I already told you, Han Tae-Sung. No ones going to protect you now.

You crazy basta

Lets stop disturbing him and go out, Chae Hyung-Seok cut him off and dragged him out of the office.

***

Siegfried was dragged around the entire castle and beaten to a pulp by Chae Hyung-Seok.

Did he retaliate? Well, he did, but it was to no avail.

He was unarmed, but Chae Hyung-Seok was unarmed as well. Chae Hyung-Seok deliberately chose not to use his hammer and only used his fists to beat him to a pulp.

Siegfried placed down all of his debuff fields and tried to resist, but they were of no use.

Does this make sense?! It doesn't make sense at all! Siegfried couldn't help but be shocked at what was happening. He hunkered down while being subjected to a barrage of punches. Then, he sneakily flashed his Rune of Insight at Chae Hyung-Seok.

[Desire]

[Type: N/A]

[Race: N/A]

[Class: N/A]

[Level: N/A]

[Titles: N/A]

Unlike before, Siegfried could not get any details on Chae Hyung-Seok even though he had used his Rune of Insight on the latter. It was a fact that astounded Siegfried, but if there was one thing sure of, then it would be the assumption that Chae Hyung-Seok was no longer a Buffer but had become more like a player with a fighter-type class.

In fact, Chae Hyung-Seok managed to fight very well without relying on any weapon or skills, and he was overpowering Siegfried with his bare fists alone.

Keke! Hey, Im coming back for you after six hours, Han Tae-Sung, Chae Hyung-Seok smirked and said while looking down at him.

Six hours?

Get ready to be beaten to a pulp again. Got it? Keke! Kekeke! Chae Hyung-Seok said before he walked away.

What the hell is going on? This doesnt make any sense! Siegfried exclaimed as he plopped down on the ground, extremely confused.

***

Five hours and thirty minutes later, Siegfried was waiting for Chae Hyung-Seok at the training grounds.

Deus appeared and asked, Do you like your new sparring partner?

Frankly speaking I do not, Master.

Is that so?

Yes, Master.

He did not bother lying to Deus.

Why?

Because he truly loathed the fact Chae Hyung-Seok, of all people, was the one beating him to a pulp! Why did it have to be Chae Hyung-Seok when there were plenty of other candidates for the job?

Keke! It seems this great being has made an excellent decision, judging by how upset you are! Deus exclaimed, cackling to show his satisfaction.

Huh?

Anyway, have fun today, Deus said and left.

Siegfried couldn't understand Deus intentions, and he could only stare at Deus' departing figure.

Exactly five minutes later

Oh? How brave of you not to run away, Han Tae-Sung. Kekeke! Chae Hyung-Seok sneered as soon as he came back. Then, he immediately provoked him, Are you trying to prove that you got guts? Well, thats all an insect like you will ever have. Kekeke!

You bastard!

Its time for another round of beating, right? Chae Hyung-Seok said as he lunged at him.

Ha! A beating? For who? Me? Siegfried scoffed. He then gritted his teeth and swore to himself, Im going to rip you to pieces!

Siegfried simultaneously placed down Blaze Field and Shadow Swamp before taking out two rainbow-colored disks.

Chwak! Chwak!

The disks separated into one thousand rainbow-colored projectiles that rained down on Chae Hyung-Seok.

Torrential Flower Rain!

But

Heh. Chae Hyung-Seok smirked.

Wooong!

A wave of mana burst out of him, neutralizing all projectiles in mid-air.

Shwaaaaaaa!

Then, the projectiles turned around and flew toward a brand-new target.

I-Impossible! Siegfried screamed from absolute shock.

The brand-new target was none other than Siegfried.
