Chapter 68: 68

Episode 68: The Dark City of S-Class Dungeon (3)

Six years ago, a saying originated at Suhomun: “The Guardian Gate has been blessed by a god.”

That was before the succession system had been shaken. Kang Min-hyuk showed tremendous talent and swept deftly through martial arts competitions, and Lee Jun-ho was always beside him. If Min-hyuk was first, Jun-ho Lee was his right-hand-man. Kang Min-hyuk consistently triumphed, but Lee Jun-ho was the son of a vassal, so the interplay was perfect.

Although Kang Min-hyuk’s swordsmanship skills exceeded those of Lee Jun-ho, there was no competition in mana battles. The latter was the true test of strength, so Kang Min-hyuk cast aside his place as successor.
