12. beast king
“They say they’ll let you go without suffering if you’re quiet… that’s why humans.”
“If you’re going to say that, you shouldn’t be laughing.”
Guys with faces like that usually seem to enjoy revenge. That too, with emotions twisted from the ordinary.
“So what do you mean? It doesn’t change that you die.”
At the same time as we spoke, the beastmen surrounding us hurled their spears. But the spear couldn’t reach us.
“Broken…?!”
It was faster for them to kneel than for the spear to reach us.

Manly Men.
How long have you been using this skill? These days, there is no one to argue with, so there is little to use, so I have been putting my S-grade skills on hold like a wardrobe license.
If I counted the soldiers, how many would I count? Except for S-class monsters, isn’t there anyone stronger than me? It’s already over level 200, but where are you going to rub soldiers?
“what······!”
“Yes, that’s it. Your position is perfect for that.”
I said, slapping the soldier kneeling in front of me in an unpleasant way.
“I don’t know what you did, but fight fair and square!”
“Seriously, he’s funny.”
They tried to go all out in a surprise attack, but what about the political parties?
“Luna, are beastmen originally so retarded? Or even their brains are animals.”
“…it’s just that these people are weird.”
Well, Luna is snappy, but if that’s the case, they’re just stupid. I smirked as I bowed my head to the soldier who was grinding his teeth.
“You guys. How many times have you had an audience with the Beast King?”
“···what?”
How many chances will a lowly soldier have to meet the king? For details, you’ll have to consider the Beast King’s personality, but even if you do a rough calculation, it won’t be too much.
“I’ll give you a free audience with the king you respect.”
As a gift.
– Pudeuk!
“Click ah ah ah!”
“Yes! Be more happy! Cheer with a louder voice!”

After defeating the pouring soldiers, we were able to safely enter the Suin-guk. Upon entering, there were beasts with their own characteristics, quite different from humans.
Some are tall with bear ears and tails, some are short with rabbit ears and tails, and some are ferocious like hyenas.
“He looks cute. I want to hold him tight and pet him.”
“Mr. Riche. Even though she looks small, she is a married woman over 50.”
“that rabbit
“Rabbit beasts, be careful, Yui-san.”
Look at the carefree kids. Anyone who sees you will know that you are on a trip. Just like us sightseeing in a country we are entering for the first time, the attention of the prisoners was also focused on us.
-That’s… a human…?
– Behind, behind, isn’t that a security guard?!
But I don’t really like being a spectacle.
“What are you looking at, you bastards. Are you seeing humans for the first time?”
Normally, if it were a human being, if it was a threat like this, it would have quietly avoided its gaze and left, but each of the beastmen was confident in their own skills, and instead sent their lives straight away.
“Luke, being behind you seems to play a part…”
“This is how you don’t carelessly fold it.”
Currently, I am dragging around soldiers who have all their limbs broken and rounded, roughly tied with ropes.
Of course not alive. I have folded my limbs, but can I still be alive? Organs were punctured by broken bones, causing internal bleeding, and muscles were torn, so you wouldn’t be able to move even if you were alive.
Since it’s dead, you can put it in your inventory, but the reason why you drag it around like this is to create a sense of fear and prevent it from being recklessly folded.
From our point of view, we may be just travelers, but from the beasts’ point of view, except for Luna, we are enemies.
In other words, we are in the middle of enemy lines. Fighting is inevitable, so I used a method to reduce fighting as much as possible.
Just as some monarchs used overwhelming force and primal fear as the way to govern their people, by showing them the soldiers they killed, they instilled fear in them so that they would not regenerate.
“hey.”
Of course, this does not mean that there is no quarrel.
Suddenly, the beastman approached me and said in a growling voice.
A body that had no fat and seemed to be made entirely of muscle, black mane-like patterns all over the arms, white hair, a long cat-like tail and tiger ears growing on top of its head.
Just looking at the appearance, you could tell that it was a tiger beast.
– It’s a king! King Ho has come to avenge the soldiers!
– Ho-wang! Tear and kill humans in the most brutal way!
-Don’t kill, live and torture! Let me avenge my son who was sold!
The noise around him gave him a vague idea of the extent of his position.
“Luna, what is Howang?”
“The Beasts select their representative one by one through their own methods. As far as I know, the Beastman has the strongest power as its representative.”
“What’s the difference between the Beast King and the King?”
“Beast King (獸王) means the king representing all the beast people, and Ho King (虎王) means the representative of the Huin people.”
Since when did the title of king become so vain?
“It’s really nice.”
At my words, the king’s eyebrows twitched. I must have been proud of that pseudonym.
“Is that the end of the strategy meeting?”
Before I could answer, his fist flew right in my face.
“Tet-Kai.”
“Keuk?!”
Considerable power… But I can’t even begin to think about it. It must have been that he was thinking of turning my face into a concave face with the attack he had just made.
But don’t you know what happens when a person hits a wall with their fist? It doesn’t matter if you hit the wall with a hard punch and the wall collapses, but if you don’t, it’s at least a finger fracture.
Just like him, the king who hit me now didn’t scream even though his fingers were swollen. He’s tougher than you think.
“Gruaaa!!”
However, King Ho did not back down and continued to hit even with his broken fingers. Even when his fingers turned from blue to purple, twisted and peeled and bled, he didn’t stop punching.
“Why aren’t you dying?!”
“It’s an iron ingot, kid.”
Blood splattered all around me, but it wasn’t all my blood. After a while, Howang let out a rough breath. Finally, his fist stopped. I guess I’m tired.
it will be hard He attacked with all his might, but he was the strongest among the tigers, and he should have been like that in the future as well. It’s because his fists just don’t work on people he despises.
But I hope you do that frustration when I’m not there. We’ve wasted a lot of time getting here anyway.
“Okay, shake hands.”
I grabbed the hand of the dazed King Ho. and crushed it with a grip.
“…Kuaaa?!”
Howang grabbed my wrist and struggled to escape.
-That’s a lie… Did King Ho lose…?
-Nonsense! It’s a scam! The human must have cheated!
The beasts surrounding us also acknowledged King Ho’s defeat.
“Hey, since you lost, guide the Beast King.”
“Turn it off…”
“Guide me, bastard. Why is this guy called King Ho so mean?”
“Ahhhhh.”
When he was attacking, he was aggressive, so why is he now disabled? It’s annoying.
Even if Luna was a beast, Luna’s position in the past would have been inferior to that of a low-level soldier. If that’s the case, you need someone to guide you to the place where the beast king is, but didn’t a guy who seemed to have a good relationship with the beast king just come out? So, I want you to stop hurting and guide me quickly.
“What’s the fuss? I heard screams from the castle.”
At that moment, a man broke through the crowd and appeared.
-Su, Suwang-nim came!
Judging from the sounds around us, that man who resembles a lion in front of us must have been the Beast King we were looking for. Just as he was about to receive guidance, the Beast King appeared on his own.
‘Thanks to that, I don’t have to go looking for it.’
-Soowang! Please avenge the king!
– Please retaliate as much as we have suffered from humans!
Cowards who had no intention of coming forward shouted loudly. Let’s see how the beast king reacts.
Hung. The beast king only let out a big snort. And,
Kwaang-!
A lion’s roar, as it is often called, came out of the Beast King’s mouth. A loud roar like a lion that threatens opponents. The sound instantly quieted the surroundings.
“Everyone, get out of here.”
I thought he would ask to fight right away, but unexpectedly, he bit the onlookers.
“It looks like I have something to do, but I’ll change places first. There are too many wildcats here.”
“Ah, before that. I brought a present for you.”
He pulled the string and threw the folded beast soldier to the beast king.
“What reaction do you want from me?”
But he had no reaction. I’m not really looking for a reaction. Just literally a gift. I feel like I came and picked it up.
“It’s only natural for losers to die in a world of the law of the jungle. They just died because they were weak, what can I say?”
“That’s a reaction I like.”
Out of all the people I’ve ever met, I think he has the most similar personality to me.
We followed the beast king ahead. How confident in his skills can a man called the King go around without an escort?
Well, it doesn’t make sense for a dog to escort a lion. The leading Beast King spoke without looking back.
“It’s an unusual combination. A beastman and a human. It’s like watching a grand unification.”
What is the Grand Unification? Is it similar to the unification of North and South Korea?
“Are you satisfied with your life now?”
“… is that what you said to me?”
“Then shall I do it to a human?”
“Uh… um… I’m satisfied.”
Hey, why are you stuttering?
Feed them, put them to bed, have sex with them. It satisfies the three major human needs: appetite, sleep, and sexual desire. Where is the master who is better than me?
“is it.”
Nothing was said after that. We just met, what do you have to say privately? Even me and Yui are naturally close, so when someone I don’t know talks to me, I can’t even have a proper conversation.
“Arrived.”
I arrived at the moment when I was about to become awkward.
But… the place where they arrived after the beast king was neither a castle suitable for a king nor a space suitable for receiving guests.
“Where is this?”
“It’s an arena. It’s a strong man who came after a long time, but don’t you feel sad just talking to him?”
oh right He was like this I was hoping the conversation would progress.
“The seats are always ready, so let’s stick together.”
hey fuck. why didn’t you say that
