Episode 110
Today’s menu was an unknown type of meat.
Put the meat, seasoned with salt in advance, on a long skewer and place it over the fire.
Cheeeeeee…!
The surface was cooked until golden brown in the hot fire.
Choi Hyun-seok quickly turned the skewer to prevent the meat from burning.
“Whew! Whoosh!”
“Stop making weird noises.”
“Whew!”
If you tell me not to do it, it gets worse.
It was strangely irritating to have someone snorting right next to me.
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed Rachel by the back of her neck and roughly threw her away.
“Whoa! Why only me…!”
“What are you saying?”
Leaving behind the noise of the distance.
Choi Hyun-seok focused on grilling meat again.
“Whew… Whew…!”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyebrows furrow sharply.
Clearly Rachel had thrown far away, but the sound of snorting could still be heard.
At this point, I had to assume that this was done on purpose.
“Hey! Take it easy!”
Choi Hyun-seok looked back and shouted.
Then Abelson, who was staring at the meat with his fist clenched, is startled.
“yes…?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Please continue.”
“What do you continue doing?”
“Uh… Okay, I understand.”
“yes?”
Choi Hyun-seok kept his mouth tightly shut.
I don’t know what to say when I see Abelson, red in the face, clenching his fists and snorting.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was worried, decided to change the subject.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to ask something I’ve always been curious about.
“Mr. Abelson.”
“yes.”
“Why do you keep carrying that mace around?”
Choi Hyun-seok asked, looking at the mace tightly held in Abelson’s hand.
For some time now, Abelson has not let go of his mace, and it is not a particularly pleasant sight.
Because it wasn’t properly managed, the sticky, dried blood was visible.
“Me, me, Mace!?”
“Yes. Mace.”
Abelson’s response to the question is quite strange.
Her breathing began to become increasingly ragged.
“This, this, this, this, this, this!” “Calm down! I’m going to lose my breath.”
He looked like a broken robot, glaring and repeating the same words.
This is the first time that Abelson, who always has a blank expression on his face, has been this flustered.
“This, this is…!”
“therefore?”
“This is, that…!”
Abelson’s eyes wander here and there.
Choi Hyun-seok knows what that means.
‘I think I can hear the sound of your head rolling all the way here.’
For some reason, Abelson is desperately looking for an excuse.
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes narrowed with suspicion.
“This is! It’s for self-defense!”
“aha.”
All I did after much thought was for self-defense.
Choi Hyun-seok made a face like Kim Sanda and turned his gaze back to the meat.
Abelson wiped the sweat from his forehead with a sigh.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been looking at the meat, continued speaking casually.
“Mr. Abelson, please put it down now. There is no need to carry that heavy thing.”
“yes…”
“If you really need a weapon for self-defense, why don’t you learn something like a sword? I can teach you martial arts.”
“I don’t like that!”
Abelson shouted.
An unexpectedly violent reaction.
Choi Hyun-seok nodded his head sheepishly.
“Yes… well, do whatever you want…”
I guess I won’t have to worry about Mace anymore.

“Okay! That’s it!”
After a while.
The deliciously cooked meat was cut into large pieces.
A lump in front of Abelson.
One dot in front of Rachel.
In front of Bobo, he cut it in half and left it as a large piece.
“Then I will eat well!”
Just as Choi Hyun-seok was about to put the meat into his mouth.
“Choi Hyun-seok! You were here.”
A familiar cow head approached.
Choi Hyun-seok greeted me with a warm smile.
“Would you like to come and have a bite, Raidrun?” “No. Now is not the time to be leisurely eating meat.”
“yes?”
“The commander is looking for you. Let’s go quickly.”
“…”
Despair descended on Choi Hyun-seok’s face.
‘I cooked all the meat…!’
When he turned around, he saw that no one was looking at him.
Everyone is only interested in eating meat.
“Rahel.”
“Have a nice trip. I’ll be eating.”
Rachel waved her hand and gave the order to the guests.
Without even raising his head.
“Wow, it tastes like honey!”
Choi Hyun-seok stared at Rachel.
I really don’t like the idea of chewing meat in small pieces.
In an instant, he quickly grabbed Rachel by the back of her neck.
“Whoa!”
“I can’t go alone!”
“Why!? Why only me!”
“just!”
I couldn’t stand to see Rachel having fun.
***
The 8th Division Commander’s office used by Grat.
This place used to be Hemis’ office.
She twisted her lips when she saw ‘8th Division Commander’s Office’ written in large letters on one wall.
“I still have this left.”
With a flick of the hand, the letters are erased and rewritten.
Hemis turned around as he saw the words ‘3rd Corps Commander’s Office’ written on it.
There were three men in front of her.
Raidrun, Choi Hyun-seok, and Royger.
“Choi Hyun-seok. Was the gratte delicious?”
Hemis asked.
Without her help, Choi Hyun-seok would never have been able to catch Grat.
The best-case scenario is that you get lucky and get the last blow.
In this situation, I couldn’t help but be thankful that thanks to Hemis, I was able to catch Grat and rise to level 32.
“Haha…! Yes. Thank you so much again!” “Thank you, what can I say? I had fun too. And when you get stronger, there will be more fun things to do in the future.”
A deep smile appeared on Hemis’ lips.
Choi Hyun-seok smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
I was definitely grateful for the help, but I couldn’t shake off this uneasy feeling.
“Anyway, do you know why I called you today?”
“…”
There was a brief silence after Hemis’ question.
Raidrun was the first to speak.
“Is it because of the reorganization of the unit?”
“Correct answer!”
Hemis spread out his pure white hands.
Then, the 3rd Army Corps organization chart created by magic appeared.
“There are five divisions under our 3rd Corps. The 6th Division, the 7th Division, the 8th Division, the 9th Division, and the 10th Division, in that order.”
Five branches extended out from the 3rd Corps, which was located at the very top.
Each branch was transformed into a pattern representing a division.
“The 8th Division was the one that fought the most fiercely at the front.”
The crocodile emblem representing the 8th Division gradually became distorted and soon disappeared completely.
“We can’t leave this important division commander position vacant, so we’ll appoint a new one.”
Hemis looked at Raidrun.
“Raidrun. Can you do it?”
“yes.”
“The vice-captain is Roy.”
In an instant, Roger’s eyes opened wide.
“Can I be the deputy commander?” “Of course. I have enough skills. I also like the fact that you’re smart.”
Hemis said calmly.
Choi Hyun-seok nodded without realizing it.
I sympathize with what she said.
‘Roger is great.’
Last checked, Royger’s combat power was over 110,000.
At this level, he was a senior commander even among regimental commanders.
“A smart subordinate is always welcome. I’m thinking of completely reorganizing the 8th Division since I’m changing the commander this time.” “I’ll do my best!”
“good.”
Hemis looked at Choi Hyun-seok, who was the last one left.
“Choi Hyun-seok.”
“yes.”
“Do you remember the promise we first made?” “I remember.”
In this situation, it’s obvious what she would ask.
Not long after Choi Hyun-seok arrived at the Black Giant.
She proposed a deal.
“I’ll protect you from now on.” “One month. Fight the guy I choose and win within that time.” “You’ll gradually rise through the ranks by killing the higher-ups.” “If I just make you a battalion commander, wouldn’t you be useful?”
Hemis protects Choi Hyun-seok.
Instead, Choi Hyun-seok fights the opponent she designated.
The ultimate goal is the battalion commander.
‘At the time, I thought it was absolutely ridiculous…’
It was achieved in less than a year.
“Am I going to be a battalion commander?” “No, I’m going to be the commander of a regiment under our corps.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened.
Not only did he suddenly skip the battalion commander position and become a regiment commander, but he was also given direct command of the corps.
In general, the legion direct units are of a higher level than other units.
“It’s a waste of energy to put someone of your level in charge of a battalion.”
“thank you.”
“Honestly, I didn’t expect it. I never thought you would survive and become a regimental commander.”
“…”
“Even if that day were to come, I never thought it would come this quickly.”
Hemis approached.
He reaches out and strokes Choi Hyun-seok’s chest.
“Thank you for your hard work. This concludes the contract.”
Something felt off.
It was also strange that Hemis would say something like that.
It felt awkward because these people, who were so high up that I couldn’t even look up, felt so close to me.
“What should I do from now on?” “What should I do? I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing.” “Yes. That’s true… haha!” “In the future, try to broaden your scope a bit. When you become a regimental commander, you won’t have to go anywhere and get beaten up even if it’s not in my shadow.”
There is something strange about the atmosphere in which Hemis speaks.
Choi Hyun-seok was gripped by anxiety.
Are you planning to throw yourself out?
That just won’t do.
It is still a time when the shade of Hemis is needed.
Until you reach the rank of division commander at least, you’ll be stuck like a lice.
“I still have a long way to go! I can’t even imagine how I would live without the shadow of the Commander!” “Oh ho ho ho! You don’t have to worry so much, Choi Hyun Seok. You need to look at your own level more objectively.” “Objectively?…” “Do you not know what a regimental commander is?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked puzzled.
If you are a regimental commander, you are above the battalion commander and below the division commander.
Is there anything else besides that?
“You do know that in the Demon King’s army, a position represents military power, right?”
“yes.”
“Did you know that the only positions higher than regimental commander are division commander and corps commander?” “Uh… that’s right.”
Only then did I guess what Hemis was trying to say.
“To put it more intuitively, even if all the humans and demons on this continent were gathered together, there wouldn’t be more than a thousand beings stronger than you.” “Are you that strong!?”
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
There aren’t even a thousand people stronger than you in the entire continent.
I don’t know how many people there are in this land, but I never thought I would be that strong.
To be honest, I can’t believe it.
Here, Choi Hyun-seok was still the weak one.
It was inevitable since the only monsters that usually followed me around were monsters like Raidrun and Hemis.
“But this is just the beginning. There is still room for you to grow.”
“thank you!”
“That’s not a compliment. I’m just stating an objective fact.”
I don’t know why they suddenly started gilding it, but I didn’t feel bad.
Hemis held out his pure white hand.
“Anyway, I ask for your continued support, Lieutenant Choi Hyeon-seok.” “I will be loyal to you, Corps Commander!”
The hands we held were cool, but it was a coolness that made us feel good.
“Oh, by the way, I’m telling you this. I’m going to be busy soon. Just accept that, even if I’m not around.”
The three men looked puzzled at the word busy.
Hemis is busy.
This sentence doesn’t match at all.
For the past hundred years, the only thing on her schedule has been the occasional meeting of legion commanders.
There have been a few incidents recently, but I haven’t been able to say I’ve been busy.
“What’s the matter with you?”
Raidrun asked.
“Well, I’m planning on going around here and there by myself. In the meantime, this guy will take care of the unit.”
Hemis’s lips part.
Oh my god!
Lips spread open to a whopping 2 meters.
I’ve seen it several times, but it’s a sight I’m not used to.
Clang, clang! Clang!
I can hear the sound of metal clashing inside my lips.
Soon a black shape began to appear.
