My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 80

Episode 80. Land of Eternal Day (1)

Kargon fell into deep thought after hearing my proposal.

Stroking his chin hidden beneath his helmet with his thick gloved hand, he slowly turned his gaze.

“It would be quite difficult if you came with me, but would that still be alright?”

“Of course.”

Even if it’s difficult, I’ll stay with him.

I have to.

The clear condition for the 4th Floor is to stick with him for 168 hours, so what am I supposed to do if we separate?

To prevent the future where he becomes a disaster, and to clear the 4th Floor before that happens.

No matter what happens, I must stay with Kargon.

Kargon let out a small sigh as he watched me respond casually, then nodded his head.

“Do as you wish.”

“Please take care of me.”

I smiled as I looked at him.

Kargon still looked down at me with his helmet on.

What kind of expression is he making inside that helmet right now?

Is he making the same expression as me?

I still can’t tell.

[Remaining Time: 167.8 hours]

* * *

“Would it be alright to move right away?”

“I don’t mind.”

After accepting to travel together.

He said he wanted to start moving again immediately.

“Make sure to stock up on water.”

“Got it.”

Nodding my head, I took out an empty water bottle from deep in my bag and headed toward the trees.

Then I raised my hand and lightly struck the tree.

“Huh?”

The trunk was deeply gouged, but no water came out from inside the trunk.

It looks exactly the same as the tree from before, but is it somehow different?

At that moment, Kargon, who had been watching me with his arms crossed from behind, clicked his tongue and spoke.

“That’s not how you do it. Use mana.”

“Use mana? How?”

“Didn’t I tell you? Berdine is a barren land. The environment here is so harsh that there’s no mana left in the ground.”

Instead.

He cut his words short and pointed with his finger at the stagnant water behind us.

“There’s mana remaining in the water and trees. The trees in Berdine have the property of reacting sensitively to mana.”

“So?”

“Scatter your mana lightly and find trees that react sensitively. Only trees with abundant water inside won’t react to you.”

Nodding my head, I calmly scattered my mana.

“If the mana concentration is too thick, all the trees will be wary of you, so it would be best to keep it as weak as possible.”

Following his advice, I scattered my mana as lightly as possible.

But this is harder than I thought.

Since I’ve only used mana for aggressive purposes until now, this is my first time intentionally releasing mana so weakly.

Closing my eyes tightly and concentrating all my nerves, the surrounding trees gradually began reacting to me one by one.

Among them, I found the one tree that uniquely didn’t react to me and opened my eyes.

“It’s you.”

I placed my hand on the trunk of the thinnest tree.

This one alone didn’t react to me.

Wrapping my hand in mana, I split the tree trunk with my hand.

Clear water flowed out from the split tree trunk.

As I filled the bottle with water, Kargon spoke to me.

“In Berdine, it would be better not to stop scattering mana. You can detect enemies by what reacts to your mana, and you can also find oases like this.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

The first time was difficult, but after trying it once, I think I’ve gotten a bit used to it.

Of course, Kargon meant I should keep scattering mana even at an unconscious level.

After filling the water bottle completely, I tightly closed the cap.

“Now that you’ve gathered water, let’s move.”

Saying that, Kargon turned around and began moving away from the oasis.

He told me to gather water but didn’t gather any himself.

‘He’s not planning to steal mine and drink it again, is he?’

Muttering to myself, I put the water bottle in my bag and followed behind him.

“Ugh…”

As soon as I left the cramped space between the trees, my skin began burning up.

I had gotten used to the brief respite and forgotten, but this place is one of the Five Great Forbidden Realms where sunlight blazes.

Taking a calm breath, I stepped on the hard ground and followed Kargon forward.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Don’t underestimate the stamina I built up doing manual labor.

“So, where are we going?”

“…To hunt orcs.”

“Orcs?”

“Yes, I’ve been preventing the orcs here from going outside and occasionally dealing with rampaging orcs.”

I see.

As I was nodding, a thought suddenly occurred to me and I asked him a question.

“Then you must have been here for a long time?”

“Much longer than you think.”

“…Then you must have heard that roar from earlier too?”

“…”

Thud.

Kargon silently nodded his head.

“Then do you happen to know who the owner of that roar is?”

“…Orc Lord. That roar belongs to an Orc Lord.”

An Orc Lord?

The Orc Lord I know was just a guy who smashed other orc heads to maintain discipline.

It seems the Orc Lord here is quite different.

‘Even ordinary orcs are incredibly strong here…’

As I was thinking that, Kargon’s heavy voice settled down from above my head.

“Never encounter the Orc Lord.”

“Is the Orc Lord that strong?”

“…The Orc Lord is a monster. An uncontrollable monster.”

There wasn’t even a hint of playfulness in his voice.

It contained only seriousness.

“No matter how strong you are, you cannot stop an Orc Lord consumed by madness.”

“…”

“I really wish someone would kill the Orc Lord.”

Kargon muttered in what seemed like a bitter voice, then raised his head to look somewhere.

“There’s an orc over there.”

“Can you feel that?”

“As I said earlier, if you keep deploying mana continuously, you can sense it. Try harder.”

With a playful tone in his voice, he began striding forward with large steps.

I followed behind him, walking in his footsteps.

* * *

Drip, drip.

Thick blood soaked the dried earth.

I quietly stared ahead without even daring to breathe.

‘…Insane.’

The ground was scattered with pieces of orc flesh.

The owner of the dark armor stood proudly above it all, wrapped in an overwhelming aura.

‘What the hell just happened?’

It was just a moment.

Something green caught the edge of my vision.

The instant I was about to open my mouth to say there was an orc over there.

Kargon, who had been beside me, vanished in an instant.

And now.

“Ah, you’re here.”

The one who had disappeared had turned all the distant orcs into chunks of meat with a single strike.

The intimidating aura that I couldn’t dare approach had vanished without a trace, and Kargon approached me as if he had never been wrapped in such a menacing presence.

With each step he took toward me, the red blood that had soaked his armor evaporated and disappeared.

And by the time he stopped in front of me, the blood on his armor had vanished without a trace.

“How dare you walk all the way out here. You’ve got some nerve.”

Kekekek.

Laughing aloud, he lightly stomped his foot.

At that moment, the parched earth rose up and swallowed the corpses of the dead orcs.

“Return to the earth and repent.”

As if nothing had ever been there.

The risen earth disappeared below the ground along with the orcs.

And nothing remained on the surface.

Not the scattered flesh.

Not the splattered blood.

Everything, all of it.

Had disappeared by his simple action.

“Did you see what I did and how I did it?”

“…I couldn’t see it.”

“Haha! You don’t need to speak formally. I much prefer it when you don’t think of me as someone difficult.”

Gulp.

I closed my mouth and looked at Kargon with confused feelings.

Even when I first met him while he was falling, I could tell he wasn’t an ordinary person.

Who would be so relaxed while falling from such a height, as if they were in their own bedroom?

Even a flying bird would panic if it fell from there.

But Kargon was different.

He had approached me with jokes in an extremely relaxed posture.

I had felt he was extraordinary from that moment.

‘But this is beyond what I imagined.’

He was a far more powerful person than I had imagined.

Even with the Black Dragon’s eyes, I couldn’t perfectly follow his movements.

Kargon clicked his tongue softly as he looked at me, frozen stiff.

“I see, I handled that too flashily.”

“…It was excessively flashy.”

“I’ve been wandering around trying to find and return your bag, so I couldn’t keep many orcs around. The moment I saw the orcs, I was so eager to deal with them quickly that I failed to control my strength.”

Kargon spoke as if making a very light joke and burst into laughter.

“From what I can see, the power dwelling in your right hand seems quite formidable too. Am I mistaken?”

“No, you’re accurate.”

“But if you couldn’t see my actions, it’s safe to say your strength isn’t very strong compared to that right hand of yours.”

Kargon’s invisible gaze from within his helmet swept over my body.

Though I couldn’t even see his pupils hidden away, somehow my body was realizing in real time where his gaze was directed.

From head to toe.

After scanning me once, he nodded his head.

“You’re a lad with a long way to go.”

Speaking with a voice mixed with laughter, Kargon lightly patted my shoulder with his thick hand.

“Since it’s come to this, I’ll personally make you into a warrior who can handle more than one person’s worth.”

“…Huh? What do you mean by that?”

“What do I mean? I mean this.”

Thump!

Kargon stomped his foot hard.

Strong mana flowed like waves through the ground.

“…”

Something feels ominous.

Ominous premonitions keep bubbling up.

Kargon gave me a thumbs up as I stood there awkwardly frozen.

“There’s nothing better than real combat for making a warrior.”

“What? No, wait-“

“Handle hundreds of orcs well by yourself.”

Kargon instantly disappeared from my sight.

Having suddenly become someone reaching out toward empty air, I creakily turned my gaze.

“…Ha.”

Dust clouds visible in all directions in the distance.

The ground rumbled wildly as if an earthquake had occurred.

[Emergency!]

[Kargon grants you a trial.]

[Deal with all the orcs swarming toward you single-handedly.]

[※The moment you break this condition, your companionship time with Kargon will be reset.]

This basically means don’t use the ‘Roster’ either.

Letting out a hollow laugh, I clenched my fist tightly and took my stance.

“Well, it’s not like I’m going to die.”

With a crooked smile pulling up the corner of my mouth, I threw my bag far away.

Then I kicked off the ground and charged at the orc in the closest position.

“Die!”

It was the beginning of the second battle with orcs.

* * *

In a distant place.

Kargon, so far away that the small human wrapped in black mist looked like a mere dot, quietly watched that human.

“…”

Despite the considerable distance, his eyes were seeing everything as if he were right next to him.

“Oh my.”

Han Mi-reo blocked the club swung by an orc with his left arm and thrust out his right hand.

The orc couldn’t block the right hand and burst to death, but Han Mi-reo’s left arm was also shattered.

I should go save him.

Kargon took his stance with that thought in mind, but.

“…!”

Han Mi-reo, who had recovered quickly as if his left arm had never been shattered, swung his leg and sent a black slash toward the orc.

“To think he’d have regenerative abilities superior to orcs despite not being one himself.”

By now, a quarter of the orcs that had swarmed in had fallen.

Honestly, I was surprised.

I had thought he was just a kid with tremendous power but no foundation whatsoever.

But after watching him, not only were his fundamentals solid, but his combat talent was also flawless.

However, there was just one thing.

There was one problem that caught his eye.

“He lacks combat experience.”

Outstanding power?

He has it.

Fundamentals?

Not solid, but they’re there.

Yet he still allowed effective hits like just now.

This means only one thing.

It means he’s overwhelmingly lacking in combat experience.

“He must have dealt with most enemies in one blow with that strong right hand of his until now.”

From what I can see, it seems only his right hand can produce that tremendous power.

And he must have had that right hand from the beginning.

“Does this mean all his enemies died in one hit, so he couldn’t accumulate proper experience?”

Look at that.

Isn’t he staggering again after taking an orc’s attack?

Still, his durability must be considerable, as even when hit, he only staggers briefly before immediately turning around to counterattack.

Even when that succeeds, other orcs’ attacks come rushing in.

“He must have fought relying on talent and power until now.”

Talent so clear it could be seen at a glance.

In combat situations, that talent would have become an even stronger weapon than that right hand.

“It’s a side effect caused by his right hand being too strong.”

Chuckling, he looked at Han Mi-reo allowing another attack.

Despite allowing quite many attacks, Han Mi-reo showed no fear whatsoever.

Kargon knew very well those who acted like that.

“…Is he not afraid of death?”

One who doesn’t fear death.

Only such people could choose that kind of approach.

“As a warrior, he’s truly a coveted talent.”

How long has it been since I’ve seen such a kid?

Kargon, who momentarily recalled the past, clenched his fist tightly.

For him, the past held only memories he didn’t want to remember.

He released the strength from his right hand that was trembling from gripping too tightly.

“….”

Oh no.

Frowning, he looked at his right hand.

A hole had been punched through the gauntlet covering his right hand.

“I’ll need to repair this before that kid’s battle ends.”

Muttering that, he removed the gauntlet he was wearing.

His bare hand that was revealed like that was.

“…I’ve been wearing this armor for quite a long time too.”

A very vivid green color.
