◈ Episode 275: The Dwarf and the Fish King (4)
“?”
As soon as he heard Barce’s voice, or rather Baekho’s voice, Kim Joo-hyuk turned his gaze to look at the two women behind him.
One was a beautiful woman with a very sharp impression.
On the other side is a beauty with a subtly relaxed mood.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at the two for a moment, soon realized that the reason Barce was sending the SOS sign to him was because of them.
“Let’s talk about this later.”
Currently, Kim Joo-hyuk had a lot of things to deal with other than this story.
You need to know how long it took you to get your name right away.
I needed to know why on earth the dwarves, the fish kings, and Mandala had attacked this place.
Not only that, but Kim Joo-hyuk had to talk to Dowang and Moo-gwang who came right away, as well as the monster who came to help them as reinforcements, so Kim Joo-hyuk decided to put off talking to Baekho first.
“… … “It seems like I have a lot of work to do, so I can’t help it.”
Baekho agrees.
Kim Joo-hyuk tapped Baekho’s shoulder to encourage him to cheer up and immediately turned around to meet the guide first.
Soon Kim Joo-hyuk was able to meet the guide sitting in the labyrinth office.
“I’m here? “I didn’t know the timing would be as good as I thought.”
“I wasn’t expecting this situation at all, so what happened?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide began to explain step by step what happened after he went to look for his name.
“To tell you the situation briefly, after you went to find the name, I was trying to figure out the situation of the groups within the Zhongli Realm and the continent and turn them into allies. But then suddenly the dwarves, the fish kings, and the mandala teamed up and charged into the labyrinth.”
The guide who said that shrugged his shoulders.
“So, first of all, I tried to stop it by quickly calling the friends whose names I had somehow obtained, but I didn’t expect it to work out this well.”
“You didn’t know if things would work out?”
“It is true that I brought in Daowang and Mu-gwang at the request of Zhong Li-quan, but I did not bring in the monsters and white tigers waiting outside right now.”
“… … okay?”
The guide nodded in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“In the case of the white tiger, I think the timing was right, and in the case of the monsters, I think we should talk about it.”
“… … Anyway, the bottom line is that things worked out well, right?”
“yes. Of course, even if we had originally planned, we wouldn’t have had a big problem just because we wouldn’t have been able to beat them, but it’s still good to reduce our power in advance like this.”
The guide nodded as if the current situation wasn’t that bad, then looked at Kim Joo-hyuk and spoke.
“Now that you think about it, because of the situation, I couldn’t ask you first. Did you find your name?”
“of course.”
The guide smiles at Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
“Then the goal was achieved.”
“That’s right, I found the name first. “So is my job now done?”
“hmm. Right now?”
Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head at the guide’s words.
“What do you mean right now?”
“Now that I have received the name Kalki, that is enough. “Anyway, even if you find a name, you haven’t completely adapted to it yet.”
The guide said that, looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, and continued talking.
“Don’t you feel like you’re suddenly getting stronger little by little?”
“… … “You’re getting stronger?”
“huh. Perhaps, if you just stay still for now, you will continue to get stronger. “As the name becomes more and more established.”
At the guide’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk clenched and unclenched his fists for no reason, but then shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t really know because I haven’t fought properly. Anyway, after you’ve fully adapted, there’s something else you need to do, right?”
The guide nodded.
“Now that I’ve found your name, I need to find your flowering ability as well.”
“… … “My flowering ability?”
“Yes, in fact, you have already become strong enough just by finding your name, but your flowering ability is absolutely necessary to deal with the incarnations that will come out in the future. But the problem is… … .”
“Is there a problem?”
The guide thought about Kim Joo-hyuk’s question for a moment, then shook his head and spoke.
“I’m not going to talk about this right now because I’m not sure. “Anyway, even if I tell you, it doesn’t mean you can go find the ability to bloom right away.”
“So you’re saying we have to wait until the name is properly established?”
“yes?”
“Approximately how long does it take?”
“Umm… … .”
A groaning guide.
“I don’t know about that…but it won’t take long. After all, it’s your name. And perhaps by then we will be able to draw some conclusions about your flowering ability, so just wait leisurely for now.”
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk responded to her continued words by nodding his head and changed the topic.
“So are they going to be of some help?”
“Those guys?”
“Them. A dwarf and a heavenly king.”
The guide thought about Kim Joo-hyuk’s words for a moment and then spoke.
“Actually, since we already know everything about who the other person is, it wouldn’t be of much help… … “There’s something a little puzzling about it.”
“… … okay?”
The guide nodded at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words and said.
“Anyway, if I find out anything else about that, I’ll let you know, so first of all, just say hello.”
####
Kim Joo-hyuk, who immediately turned around after hearing the guide’s words, first met Do-wang and Moo-gwang, whom he had briefly seen before when he handed over the dwarf and the Heavenly King, exchanged greetings for a moment, and then headed straight to the monsters.

Dowang and Mugwang had a lot of time to talk later.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was able to talk to Bulgari, the leader of the monsters, was able to hear why the monsters came here.
“therefore… … In the end, if you sum it up, you see that the dwarves and fish kings were moving here and followed them, right?”
“exactly. “We decided to stick with you.”
The answer of the fire.
Kim Joo-hyuk asked as if he was momentarily curious.
“why?”
“what?”
“No, I was wondering why you decided to stick with me.”
To be honest, when you look at it from the outside, this fight was not at all favorable to Kim Joo-hyuk.
This is true just by looking at the difference in numbers.
There are eight of them, and Kim Joo-hyuk is two.
Considering the power that each incarnation possesses, it is clear that the amount is greater than it is now.
In short, when evaluated calmly and objectively, Kim Joo-hyuk was fighting at a disadvantage.
As a result, Kim Joo-hyuk was curious about why the monsters decided to attach themselves to him, so he asked a question.
And in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Bulgari spoke.
“To tell the truth, several incarnations, including King Damuncheon, have already visited Cheonaksan Mountain. They all said the same thing. “I won’t oppress you like before, so just stay quiet.”
“But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t believe that. In the first place, they think of us as impurities in this world that must be weeded out unconditionally.”
“… … “I thought I might get kicked out if I just waited like this anyway, so I stuck here?”
“Besides, didn’t you already help us once in the past?”
At Bulgari’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded, chuckled, and then spoke.
“It’s reassuring.”
“If you think so, it would be perfect.”
After receiving Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Bulgaris immediately talked to him for a while.
“First of all, the guide will probably be here soon for more details, so talk to him.”
After saying those words, he started moving somewhere again.
The Bulgari was looking at the back of Kim Joo-hyuk.
“… … “There was a reason why the old man said he would join that guy.”
I soon heard Shuten’s voice coming from next to me.
He opened his mouth with a slightly horrified expression.
“Is that guy definitely the guy I met back then?”
Of course, even after asking such a question, Shuten knew.
That the man in front of him was the one he had once fought with.
However, there was only one reason why Shuten asked Bulsai that question.
‘Such ridiculous growth… … .’
It was because of his ridiculous growth rate.
No, it cannot be said to be growth speed.
At least the current Shuten knew why that man was so strong.
But even so, the thought that it was outside the standard did not leave Shuten’s mind.
For a while, he couldn’t take his eyes off Kim Joo-hyuk, who was walking in the distance.
####
After briefly talking with the monsters, Kim Joo-hyuk headed straight to the place where Baekho was.
‘Originally, I was planning to meet up after checking a little bit of this and that.’
No matter how much he thought about it, he could feel the sincerity in Baekho’s voice that he heard earlier, so Kim Joo-hyuk headed to meet him.
Not long after, Kim Joo-hyuk took Baekho with him and came down to the bottom of the labyrinth with Baekho alone, saying that he was going to get out of trouble for the first time in a while.
“long time no see.”
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered this as he looked at the view of the market as soon as he came down from the labyrinth for the first time in a while, then turned his gaze to look at Baekho, who was letting out a complicated sigh.
“So, even though I found your name like this, why are you so worried about death?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Baekho looked like he was about to die and finally opened his mouth.
“Various things happened… … .”
“Various things?”
“Yes, it’s something you can’t even imagine now.”
“What happened?”
Baekho sighs once again at Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
To what extent did he remain silent?
“… … “My stomach hurts and I feel like I’m going to die.”
Baekho suddenly said that.
“what… … ? “Does your stomach hurt?”
“okay.”
“… … you?”
Baekho nods his head silently.
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to easily figure out that the two women behind him were giving him trouble, but he tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk could feel it all at once when he saw Baekho and the two women.
It certainly wasn’t that the women behind him were weak, but on the contrary, they didn’t seem much stronger than the white tiger.
The sharp-looking woman seemed to have a strength similar to that of the white tiger, but that’s about it.
In the end, it was said that there was nothing Baekho could do in terms of force, and that also meant that Baekho could be controlled by force if he wanted to.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth.
“okay. “If you’re just going to clear it up, you can just do it like you said.”
“then?”
“It’s a problem because it’s not clear… … !”
Soon, Baekho denied Kim Joo-hyuk’s words and soon began pouring out his own story.
And it was only the day before yesterday that Kim Joo-hyuk began to understand in earnest why Barce was suffering because of women.
At the same time, I was able to understand why Barce was thinking about dying.
however.
After that, exactly 4 hours and 36 minutes later.
“That’s why. Suddenly, I was just sitting still and they started fighting like crazy behind me-”
“… … .”
‘this… … ‘When will it end?’
Kim Joo-hyuk slowly began to feel fear.
