Auto Looting Range Too Wide Episode 149

Episode 149: Tooshin’s Maze (3)

Mincheol blinked his eyes repeatedly.

It wasn’t because he didn’t recognize Ursongbarsong.

“Manager, why are you here…?”

He had called upon Tooshin, but Ursongbarsong appeared instead?

To the bewildered Mincheol, Ursongbarsong spoke in a calm voice.

“I’ll explain the details later.”

Saying so, Ursongbarsong turned to look at the Grand Warlord.

At that moment, the Grand Warlord’s body trembled slightly.

“You… who are you.”

“I don’t want to waste my breath talking. You wouldn’t understand anyway.”

“Shut up! Am I not asking you! Answer who you are!”

The Grand Warlord shouted in rage.

But he only shouted, unable to approach Ursongbarsong.

Anyone could see he was clearly on guard.

Meanwhile, Ursongbarsong calmly checked the time on his wristwatch.

“It’s almost meeting time. Since my schedule is tight, I’ll finish this quickly.”

Ursongbarsong approached the Grand Warlord.

The Grand Warlord reflexively stepped back, then his face contorted in fury.

“How dare you!”

The Grand Warlord brought down his raised fist.

Ursongbarsong casually held up his palm to block the attack.

Kwang-!

The already shattered ground was destroyed once more.

But Ursongbarsong was unharmed. Even his clothes didn’t flutter.

“The power is decent, but there’s no technique. Utterly pathetic.”

Suddenly Ursongbarsong disappeared.

The next moment, Ursongbarsong appeared above the Grand Warlord’s head and struck down with his fist.

Kwang-

The ogre-like massive body was driven head-first into the ground.

His whole body trembled briefly before going limp.

The monster that the warriors couldn’t even scratch had died in a single blow.

“Awakened, please remember this well. This is how you use power. You must concentrate everything into a single point.”

Mincheol nodded blankly with a dazed expression.

Seeing the Manager’s power firsthand, which he had only heard about, sent chills through him.

Then, messages appeared before Mincheol’s eyes.

【The Grand Warlord has died!】

【The war has ended in victory thanks to your efforts!】

-You obtain 1 ‘Skill Level Increase Voucher’.

Even seeing the messages, it didn’t feel real.

It was probably because he had witnessed Ursongbarsong’s unrealistic power.

Then, he sensed people approaching.

Before he knew it, warriors were running toward Mincheol and Ursongbarsong.

“T-Tooshin has truly descended!”

“To see Tooshin with my own eyes…!”

“Tooshin! Our hero!”

The warriors facing Ursongbarsong showed reactions as if they might die from overwhelming emotion.

But there was one exception.

“Tooshin? Really Tooshin?”

Alcamalca.

She, who had served Tooshin for so long, was different.

“But this aura… no, that can’t be. It’s impossible.”

As she muttered in bewilderment,

“Sir Mincheol!”

Kurmakdurumak’s voice could be heard from far away.

Three or four soldiers were carrying Kurmakdurumak’s wheelchair and coming this way.

“Uhahahat! You’re safe without a scratch! As expected of Sir Mincheol!”

Mincheol also waved his hand in delight.

He felt relieved that he could protect the castle as Kurmakdurumak had requested.

“Is that person Tooshin? He really looks like an orc as I heard! I want to greet him right away!”

Kurmakdurumak said excitedly.

Just as Mincheol was about to personally introduce Ursongbarsong to Kurmakdurumak,

Suddenly the entire world turned gray.

At the same time, everything stopped.

Kurmakdurumak, the warriors, even the clouds floating in the sky.

“Awakened, it’s time to return.”

“What? Already? At least let me say goodbye…”

“Awakened, they are residents of the Tower. There’s nothing good about getting attached.”

His tone was still polite.

But somehow it sounded strangely cold.

“Let’s go now.”

When Ursongbarsong gestured, a dimensional gate opened.

With his firm attitude of not listening to any words, Mincheol had no choice but to enter the dimensional gate.

Before leaving, Mincheol looked back at Kurmakdurumak and the warriors.

Now that he was actually leaving, he felt a wave of regret.

Though their time together was short, it seemed he had grown quite fond of them.

Mincheol suppressed his feelings and turned around.

* * *

The inside of the dimensional gate was dark.

Despite there being no light at all, Ursongbarsong walked without hesitation.

“By the way, I didn’t know you handled this kind of work too, Manager.”

Mincheol asked while following Ursongbarsong.

“There’s a reason. I’m from Aksria, you see.”

Mincheol’s eyes widened at Ursongbarsong’s words.

He had thought the naming pattern seemed similar, but he never expected him to actually be from Aksria.

“Then were you Tooshin, Manager? I thought you seemed incredible when I saw you earlier.”

Mincheol recalled the attack that had killed the Grand Warlord in one blow.

It was swift, precise, and without waste. Truly a strike worthy of an orc called Tooshin.

“Hahaha, I am not Tooshin.”

Ursongbarsong laughed cheerfully and shook his head.

“What? You’re not?”

“An existence at the level of Tooshin cannot be easily implemented even by the Tower. That’s why I intervened pretending to be Tooshin.”

Ursongbarsong continued with a smiling face.

“When you challenged the defensive layer, Awakened, I had expectations, but I never thought you would actually receive an EX grade.”

“I was just lucky.”

Ursongbarsong shook his head.

“When luck repeats, it becomes inevitability. It’s all possible because you are challenging enough not to avoid danger, Awakened, and have the skills to back up such reckless actions.”

Mincheol made a bitter expression.

Challenging? Reckless? These were all words that didn’t suit him.

He felt like he should set aside a day sometime to clear up these misunderstandings about himself.

“Even if temporary, Tartamartha Castle has been saved. That guy would have been happy if he knew.”

“That guy?”

“I’m talking about Tooshin.”

“Oh, you seem to know Tooshin well?”

“Know him well indeed. We were close enough to be desperate to kill each other.”

For a moment, Mincheol felt puzzled.

Desperate to kill each other with Tooshin?

Wasn’t there only one being in Aksria who could be called that?

“Just to be sure, Manager, you couldn’t possibly be…?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Ursongbarsong said with a grin.

“I am the Grand Warlord.”

* * *

Mincheol couldn’t think of anything for a moment.

His mind was too confused.

“What? But the Grand Warlord died earlier…”

“Ah, you mean that guy. Sometimes there would appear fellows who became overly intoxicated with the blessings I bestowed and mistook themselves for the Grand Warlord.”

Ursongbarsong scratched his cheek as if embarrassed.

“Originally they would act up and die quickly so they weren’t well known. But that guy must have had talent. Seeing that he lived this long and even formed an army.”

Mincheol was so dumbfounded he couldn’t say anything.

‘No wonder his skin was red for Tooshin…!’

Mincheol, who barely accepted the truth, asked Ursongbarsong.

“Then where is Tooshin?”

Suddenly Ursongbarsong closed his mouth.

“Aksria wasn’t greatly developed in civilization, but it was a strong planet. We orcs were natural-born warriors after all.”

And he brought up something out of the blue.

“And I was an existence no different from a god in Aksria. I possessed such mighty power.”

Mincheol nodded.

Having fought directly in Aksria, he knew well.

He knew how high a position the Grand Warlord and Tooshin held.

“But Aksria was absorbed by the Tower, and all the orcs became residents of the Tower. And I became a manager and am serving.”

Ursongbarsong’s steps stopped. He turned to look at Mincheol and asked.

“Do you understand what this means?”

Mincheol couldn’t say anything.

Content he had once seen in a YouTube video came to mind.

-Hello everyone~. Tower is life. Life is Tower. This is Record Geek!

-Today we’re going to look into the purpose of why the Tower appeared on Earth.

-Of course, the reason has never been revealed. But we can speculate.

-Countless dimensions exist inside the Tower, right? But they’re all in a state of destruction.

-Why exactly did those dimensions perish?

-We can’t know the clear reason. The races and levels of civilization development are all different.

-If there’s one common point, it’s that the Tower appeared in those dimensions too.

-So many scholars are speculating like this.

-Perhaps the Tower’s existence might not be a blessing…

Snap.

At the sound of fingers snapping, Mincheol awakened from his thoughts.

When he raised his head, Ursongbarsong was looking at him.

“Oh right, I haven’t given you the Hidden Quest reward.”

Ursongbarsong said with a grin.

At the same time, messages appeared.

【You have cleared Hidden Quest ‘Glory of the South’!】

【This is an unprecedented Achievement! You inherit Tooshin’s legacy!】

An axe appeared before Mincheol’s eyes.

Mincheol, who received the axe, couldn’t help but be bewildered.

It was too small for Tooshin’s legacy.

It was small even for Mincheol, who was human, so needless to say from an orc’s perspective.

【Grunbarunkadun】

-Grade: Legendary

-Description: An axe beloved by Aksria’s Tooshin. Contains the power to split mountains and cleave the earth. However, it has greatly weakened due to its master’s death.

-Effect 1. Can activate skill ‘Weight Control’.

-Effect 2. ??

-Effect 3. ??

※The weapon is in a greatly weakened state. Most of its powers are sealed.

※Powers will recover as you engage in battles.

It was the second legendary grade weapon after Sharbahan.

Moreover, it was a weapon used by Tooshin.

It was worth risking his life to progress through the defensive layer.

“Please try using it once.”

“Here?”

Ursongbarsong nodded.

Mincheol used the first skill, weight control.

‘First, let me maximize the weight…’

The moment he thought that, the hand axe suddenly expanded.

To the extent that it could be called a large axe even by orc standards.

“Uh, uhh?”

Mincheol couldn’t bear the weight and dropped the axe.

The axe that fell to the ground made a heavy sound.

“When you activate the first skill, you can control weight and size simultaneously. Depending on the master’s capability, it can be enlarged to the point of splitting mountains.”

Mincheol looked at the axe in admiration.

Drip, drip drop.

Then, something flowed down from his nose.

When he wiped it with the back of his hand, blood came off thickly.

“Huh?”

At the same time, dizziness rushed over him. Mincheol collapsed to the ground.

“However, it doesn’t come without a price. It consumes the user’s stamina. If used incorrectly, you could lose your life.

Snap.

When Ursongbarsong flicked his finger, his physical condition returned to normal.

Rising from his position, Mincheol examined the axe from all angles with a surprised expression.

It was certainly a tremendous skill, but the risk was great. A weapon that could cost your life if used incorrectly.

‘But it’s attractive.’

It was a skill that could demonstrate tremendous power in both close combat and ranged combat.

What if the axe suddenly grew larger during battle?

What if an axe flying toward you suddenly enlarged?

From the enemy’s perspective, it would be utterly bewildering.

‘If the first option is this powerful, how amazing must the remaining options be?’

Since it was a weapon used by Tooshin, he couldn’t imagine what kind of power it might display when it fully regained its strength.

“Can I really accept this?”

Mincheol asked Ursongbarsong.

As the Grand Warlord, he must have had a special relationship with Tooshin, whether good or bad.

“That fellow would have wanted this too. Weapons are only useful when they’re bloodied, after all.”

How very orc-like. Seeing such chilling words come out so casually from someone in genteel attire.

“You’ve worked hard. Rest well today.”

Ursongbarsong drew his finger through the air.

The darkness split and light poured forth.

Just as Mincheol was about to enter the light.

“Awakened, please become stronger. Don’t be satisfied thinking this is enough, but greedily pursue strength.”

Ursongbarsong’s voice reached him from behind.

“So that you won’t regret it in the distant future.”

Without time to respond, Mincheol was sucked into the light.
