Chapter 330
“H-Hyung-nim!”
The bald man looked at Siegfried before shouting.
“Oh! Did you come to save me, hyung-nim?!”
“W-Who are you…?” Siegfried asked. He could swear that he had never met this frail bald man before.
“Hyung-nim!”
“Hyung-nim? I think you are twenty years older than me—at least.”
“It’s me, Seung-Gu! Your brother, Seung-Gu!”
“S-Seung-Gu…?” Siegfried muttered as he blinked a few times while staring at the frail bald man claiming to be Seung-Gu.
He had huge bald spots on his head, and both of his cheeks were caved in.
There was also a dark circle beneath his eyes.
“Ah… But you look like some homeless guy on the subway…”
“Hyung-nim! It’s really me! I’m Seung-Gu!”
“You’re really…?”
“Yes, it’s me! Your brother, Seung-Gu!”
“Hmm… You kinda look like him on second look… but how is it possible for someone to change so much in such a short period of time?”
Siegfried was still skeptical as Seung-Gu had turned into a mummy in less than two days. In the end, he flashed his Rune of Insight at the old man to check if he really was Seung-Gu.
[Seung-Gu]
[HP: ⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜]
[Mana: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛]
[Stamina: ⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜]
The frail bald man turned out to be Seung-Gu.
“Hey! What happened to you? Why is your HP and Stamina so low?”
“H-Hyung-nim… that is… sniff… sniff…!” Seung-Gu started tearing up before he ran into Siegfried’s chest. “Waaah! Hyung-nim!”
“Hey, what’s up with you…? Just what in the world happened to you?” Siegfried grumbled while patting Seung-Gu’s back.
“That is…” Seung-Gu muttered, but he hesitated and stopped. He could not bear to tell Siegfried about the humiliation he had gone through until now.
“Huh…?”
Siegfried was quite confused about what was going on.
“Who are you?! Give me back my man this instant!”
A large Amazoness Warrior suddenly appeared from behind the bush and blocked Siegfried’s path.
“H-Hiiiiik!” Seung-Gu shrieked out in horror as if he saw a ghost.
[Sandra]
[The strongest warrior of the Amazoness Tribe.]
[She is the second-strongest after the chieftain, and she is strong enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the chieftains of the other tribes.]
[She never slacks off in training her muscles, and her strength rivals that of an ogre.]
[Type: Semi-Named NPC]
[Level: 250]
[Affiliation: Amazoness Tribe]
[Rank: Commander]
[Class: God Strength]
“H-Holy muscles! What the hell is that?!” Siegfried exclaimed as his jaw dropped.
Sandra was at least 185 cm tall, and she looked like she weighed at least one hundred kilograms. However, she did not have an ounce of body fat on her as her bulky muscles were extremely prominent.
Her muscles would make most men cower in shame in front of her, and she definitely looked stronger than the majority of men claiming to be strong on the continent.
“H-Hyung-nim! Save me! That woman… me… Kuheok!” Seung-Gu exclaimed as he hid behind Siegfried and broke out in tears.
“Hmm? Are you the one who did this to my brother?” Siegfried asked.
“We simply shared our love for each other,” Sandra replied with a shrug before saying, “That man is my property, so hand him over this instant. I will spare you if you do as I say.”
“S-Share your what? Property who?”
“I love him. He seemed hopeless at first, but he is quite cute now that I have grown fond of him. That is why I have decided to spend the rest of my life with that man!”
“Haha… Hahaha…”
“So move! Don’t get in the way of our love!” Sandra shouted. Her voice thundered throughout the woods.
Siegfried looked back at Seung-Gu and said, “H-Hey, that woman says she loves you.”
“I-I don’t! I was forced… She forced… Kuheok…!”
“Ah…” Siegfried muttered as he closed his eyes and nodded out of sympathy, and then he said, “So you had a good time—”
“NO! I did NOT have a good time! I was forced!”
“Really? Are you sure you didn’t secretly enjoy it?”
“H-Hyung-nim!”
“Haha, alright, calm down.” Siegfried snickered. He turned toward Sandra and said, “Excuse me.”
“What?”
“I understand that you have your culture, but my brother doesn’t want to go with you. Why don’t you just give up? I think you had your fun with him, right?”
“No.”
“No?”
“I love that child.”
“Eh?”
“And I want to spend the rest of my life with him.”
Surprisingly, Sandra seemed quite serious about Seung-Gu.
“He’s scared of me right now, but he will soon learn to love me later on,” Sandra declared.
“W-Whoa…! I need some of that confidence…” Siegfried muttered in awe.
“Enough chatter. Hand him over while I’m still being nice.”
“What if I don’t want to?”
“Then we will have to fight for him,” she said as she pulled out her gigantic battle axe.
“Wait, Sandra! Stop!”
“Amazoness Sandra! Stop this at once!”
“You can’t fight him now!”
“Calm down, Sandra!”
Then, the chieftains who had lost to Siegfried blocked her path.
“You are the chieftains of the other tribes, but why are you…?”
“You need to forego your personal matters, Sandra!” Dwaitka exclaimed. Then, he acted like Siegfried’s representative as he explained, “This esteemed person right here is currently challenging the Great Jungle Challenge!”
“The Great Jungle Challenge?!”
“This esteemed person has defeated us chieftains, and he is here to challenge your chieftain, so move!”
“Argh… Alright…”
Sandra reluctantly paved the way for Siegfried to pass. Then, she declared, “I will not stand in the way of the challenger, but wait here, chieftains, challenger! I shall go and inform my tribe of your arrival!”
Siegfried initially thought that the warrior would not easily give in, but he was surprised to see that not only had she easily given in, but she was also willing to become the herald of his arrival.
“Hey, Seung-Gu.”
“Yes, hyung-nim?”
“She’s a total badass, don’t you think so? She’s straightforward, confident, probably strong, and she knows how to separate her personal matters and business. I think most people will find her quite cool.”
“What are you trying to say, hyung-nim…?”
“Good luck,” Siegfried said as he patted Seung-Gu’s shoulder.
“H-Hyung-nim!” Seung-Gu cried out as he shed tears of blood.
***
Siegfried’s party arrived at the Amazoness Tribe’s village with Sandra as their guide.
‘I saw them before, but they are truly amazing,’ Siegfried thought while inspecting the warriors who greeted them.
He could tell in a single glance that the Amazoness Tribe was the strongest tribe among the five tribes of the Great Jungle, and all of their warriors were quite muscular as if to show off their strength.
A person’s strength was the core foundation of their combat prowess, and it seemed that these tribeswomen were not lacking in that.
However, these women did not seem to be only strong as their bulky arms and calloused palms showed just how much they had trained to perfect their skills with the spear.
The Amazoness Tribe was truly worthy of being called the strongest warriors in the Great Jungle, regardless of their gender.
None of the tribeswomen sneered or jeered at Siegfried or at the chieftains who had lost to him. If their odd culture of abducting men and using them as breeding stallions were excluded, they were indeed honorable warriors.
The tribeswomen lined up shoulder to shoulder on both sides with their spear in hand, and none of them uttered a single word.
Siegfried could tell from the atmosphere alone that this challenge was not going to be an easy one.
‘I have a feeling this is going to be extremely difficult…’ he thought.
“All kneel and show your respect to the chieftainess!” Sandra shouted at the top of her lungs.
Boom!
The tribeswomen slammed the butt of their spear on the ground and knelt.
Soon, a woman emerged.
Shwak… Shwak…
The woman was barefoot, but it didn’t undermine her beauty that pervaded the air.
[Antiope]
[The current chieftainess of the Amazoness Tribe.]
[She is the seventh granddaughter of the first chieftain, and she is the most beautiful person in the Great Jungle.]
[The only thing rivaling her beauty is her strength, as she is the most powerful chieftain among the five chieftains in the Great Jungle.]
[Type: Named NPC]
[Level: 270]
[Affiliation: Amazoness Tribe]
[Class: Wild Spear]
[Title: Beauty of the Wild, Spear Expert, Sexy Queen (19+), Hunting Chieftainess, Rich Swag, Master of Bondage, Rope Maestro, Sex Appeal Supremo.]
The Chieftainess of the Amazoness Tribe, Antiope, truly deserved to be called a beauty.
If Brunhilde possessed the innate beauty of an elf as well as the image of a good wife and wise mother while Ingrid was like a wildflower blooming in the harsh tundra, then Antiope was more like a rose blooming in the wild.
Her brown hair, tanned skin, sexy figure, and blessed assets definitely stole not only the eyes of men but even their souls, and describing her beauty to others was quite difficult to put into words.
Sex Appeal Supremo!
‘Huh? Why is she showing so much skin? Is she an exhibitionist? Nah, it’s probably because she’s a barbarian,’ Siegfried thought.
He was uninterested in Antiope’s body, as Brunhilde was the only woman in his eyes. He did not have the luxury to wander around ogling other women’s bodies because he had come here to look for the cure that would save his wife and child.
“How do you want the challenge to be?” Siegfried asked.
Kwachik!
A vein popped on Antiope’s forehead after hearing Siegfried get straight to the point.
‘What’s with this outsider? How is he so indifferent to me?’ Antiope was flabbergasted at the treatment she was getting for the first time in her life. An Amazoness needed to possess both strength and beauty to become the chieftain, and she possessed both to call herself the rightful leader of the tribe.
Every single man fortunate enough to have laid eyes on her had failed to suppress their desire and had thrown themselves at her feet, but most of them lost their lives to her spear for not knowing their places.
Therefore, Siegfried’s indifference was more than enough to disturb her.
“What’s the rush? We haven’t even introduced ourselves?”
“The challenge?”
“…”
“I’m busy, so let’s hurry up,” Siegfried grumbled.
“A-Alright…” Antiope awkwardly stuttered in response, and then she proceeded to explain the rules of the challenge, “We, the Amazoness Tribe, don’t really have a particular challenge. We settle things in a one-on-one duel where nobody can interfere.”
“Sounds good to me,” Siegfried replied while seemingly satisfied with the rules.
“But you will become my slave if you lose,” she added.
“Slave?”
“It’s a shame to kill you if you’re strong enough to attempt the Great Jungle Challenge. Well, I would kill you without hesitation if you were a woman, but that’s not the case.”
“T-That sounds a bit scary…”
The law of the Amazoness Tribe dictated that women were to be killed while men were enslaved.
“But what if I win?”
“Then, I will hand over our tribe’s insignia to you.”
“Alright,” he nodded and said, “Let’s do it.”
“Okay.”
With that, the duel between Siegfried and the chieftainess, Antiope, started.
***
At the training grounds of the Amazoness Tribe.
‘I should wrap this up and fight the Hunterian King,’ Siegfried thought as he felt pressed for time.
“Can I make the first move?” he asked.
“By all means,” she nonchalantly replied.
Woooong!
Siegfried immediately placed down Blaze Field and Shadow Swamp. He could not afford to drop his guard when he was up against an extremely powerful individual. He knew very well that he had to throw everything he had on the first attack and catch his opponent with their guard down to win.
‘First strike wins the fight!’
He lunged at Antiope.
Whoosh!
His +15 Gaia’s Fist cut through the air toward Antiope.
Woooong!
Antiope channeled her mana and raised her weapon, Theseus, to block Siegfried’s attack.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing against each other reverberated.
“Keuk!”
Siegfried felt pain travel up his hand holding his weapon.
‘What incredible strength!’ Siegfried shocked.
The mana infused into Theseus was extremely strong, and just clashing against it was more than enough to inflict excruciating pain on him.
“I am an Amazoness, but I prefer the spear rather than the bow,” Antiope said with a smile, and then she added, “I’m also the best when it comes to the spear.”
“…”
“Allow me to show you how terrifying the Spear of the Amazoness is.”
Antiope swung Theseus before thrusting it toward Siegfried.
The spear lunged forward like a ferocious beast going after its prey.
