Episode 114
Choi Hyun-seok cheered sincerely.
If I had been alone, I would have jumped up and down and screamed.
‘As expected, Raidrun! There’s no one else but you!’
Red nightmare!
Choi Hyun-seok’s guardian!
The hero Raidrun appears and stops the evil villains.
Choi Hyun-seok secretly looked at Motem.
‘You’re behind now. How strong is Raidrun!’
Raidrun and Mortem were walking towards the center of the parade ground.
Choi Hyun-seok checked the two with a combat power meter.
[ Combat Power: 199,958 ]
Motem’s combat power is in the range of 200,000, which is barely measured by the meter.
[ Combat Power: 168,302 ]
In comparison, Raidrun’s combat power is about 170,000.
This figure is about 30,000 lower than Motem.
But it doesn’t matter.
‘At that level, 30,000 isn’t that big of a difference.’
If a battle force of 10,000 and 40,000 fight, it is safe to say that 40,000 will definitely win.
But the fight between 170,000 and 200,000 is different.
‘It’s more important how you use the power you have.’
It is clear that having 200,000 more combat power is advantageous.
Because it means that the basic specs are better.
But no matter how good the specs are, if the user is ignorant, it is useless.
Unless the difference is overwhelming, there is a good chance of winning even if the fighting power is low.
In fact, Choi Hyun-seok has also defeated countless beings with higher fighting power than himself.
‘Raidrun is a demon tribe I know.
Among them, he is the one who fights the best in proportion to his fighting power.’
I recently realized this clearly after seeing demons or humans of similar level.
Raidrun is really strong.
Far more than the fighting power he possesses.
Even Choi Hyun-seok has never seen Raidrun’s power.
Because in the last battle with the Holy Empire hero, we saw Raidran fighting in an exhausted state.
But I know that Raidrun is strong.
I couldn’t even imagine what kind of power he would have if he fought at full strength in peak condition.
“Fighting! You must win!”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted at the top of his lungs.
Then, Mortem and Raidrun looked back at the same time.
“Ah… Fighting to both of you! In a duel, everyone can be a winner… Hahaha…!”
Choi Hyun-seok said with a bright smile.
Rachel, who was watching from the side, let out a deep sigh.
“Hero. Isn’t that too cowardly? You’re a regular warrior now, so you should take care of your pride.” “Does pride feed you? If you lose, you won’t have any pride or anything.” “Well, that’s true!”
“Okay, now stop talking. Let’s get started.”
Choi Hyun-seok stared ahead with a serious expression.
‘I have to concentrate.’
It’s not often you see someone this strong fighting.
Hemis is so out of the norm to begin with that you can’t really tell anything, but if it’s a fight between Raidrun and Mortem, you might be able to glean something.
Although warrior Choi Hyeon-seok was a coward, he was always a professional who took anything related to combat seriously.
***
Motem rolled his shoulders and relaxed his body.
“I won’t give in to the first attack.”
It was a relaxed attitude.
He didn’t even take out the greatsword on his back.
“Aren’t you going to draw your sword?” “I only draw this sword against true warriors. I feel bad about cutting down just anyone.”
Motem said, tapping his sword lightly.
“At some point, there was no reason to pull it out at all, so I’m a little worried.”
It was a fairly strong provocation, but Raidran’s expression remained the same.
He nodded indifferently.
“Then let’s begin.”
“Come.”
Raidrun kicked the ground.
The new model flies away with a loud bang.
He arrived in front of the mortar and stretched out his fist.
Pavabavat-!
Hands and feet crossed.
Raidrun and Mortem engaged in a ceaseless exchange of attacks and defenses.
The hands are so fast that the watching demons can’t tell what’s happening.
Only Choi Hyun-seok could roughly figure out what was going on between the two.

“It’s more than I thought. Is there a reason why Hemis took it away?”
Motem said, slightly distancing himself.
Dozens of attacks took place in the interim, but neither of them allowed a clear shot.
Raidrun loosened his body by turning his shoulders as Mortem had done.
“It was just a warm-up. I am the type of person who does not use all my power unless my opponent is a true warrior.”
A provocation using what Motem said a little while ago.
One corner of Motem’s mouth twisted.
“Even your jokes are top-notch.”
“I am serious.”
“I don’t expect you to be as good as you are at talking.”
The two began to clash again.
Faster than before.
They collide more passionately.
Kwakwakwakwang!
The parade ground shook with the clash of magic.
Both of them were overwhelmingly powerful even though they didn’t use speculation.
Fight!
In that moment, Raidrun’s fist struck Motem’s stomach.
A shallow groan escapes Motem’s mouth.
One punch dented his armor.
Bam, bam! Pavabavat!
Raidrun continued to attack without stopping.
Gradually, the number of times Motem’s fist cuts through the air increases.
The more this happens, the more accurately Raidrun’s fist strikes the target.
It is to monitor the movements of the mortar in real time while fighting.
“Phew…”
Before we knew it, Motem was in ruins.
The black armor he was wearing was so damaged that it couldn’t function properly.
For a moment, Motem stepped back.
At that moment, Raidrun made a puzzled expression.
Motem bowed his head.
“sorry.”
Raidrun paused at the sudden apology.
“What are you talking about?”
“I was arrogant. I didn’t think there would be demons like you in this day and age.” Slurp…
Motem pulled out his greatsword from his back.
At the same time, his damaged armor returns to its original state.
Since it was a magical armor made from Mortem’s magic, it could be restored at any time before his magic ran out.
“You are a warrior.”
The momentum of Motem, who was taking a stance while holding a greatsword, was on a different level than before.
“Warrior to warrior. I will engage in battle seriously.”
“great.”
A deep smile appeared on Raidran’s lips as he clenched his fists.
***
Choi Hyun-seok watched the battle with his eyes wide open.
As if I couldn’t miss a single moment.
His head was spinning nonstop as he watched the battle with wide eyes.
‘The level… no, the dimension is different.’
Motem and Raidrun clash in the parade ground.
The battle between the two was much more intense than Choi Hyun-seok had expected.
It was much more advanced.
‘To be honest, when we first got into a fist fight, I thought it was doable… but I was completely wrong.’
Early days of Dalian.
Before Mortem draws his greatsword.
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok was impressed, but not that surprised.
I thought that even if he was much stronger than I was now, I would be able to catch up someday.
However, things changed after Mortem drew his sword.
‘Raidrun has also become more advanced, but that Mortem guy is truly… a monster in and of himself.’
Suddenly, I remembered what Hemis had said before he left.
“At least in our legion, there is no one who can beat Motem except me.”
It is said that in the 3rd Army Corps, except for Hemis, there is no one who can defeat Motem.
It’s true that I was a little curious at the time.
Among the division commanders, there were many with a combat power of over 200,000.
Even the crocodile head grattman was like that.
The division commander wasn’t chosen by a trick.
It took countless battles to win and defend that position.
How can one be sure that Motem can defeat the other division commanders among such people?
It was hard to accept, but now I understand.
Hemis was right.
‘I can’t help but be confident. How can I defeat such a monster?’
The mortem seemed like a magic trick.
Their speeds were almost the same, but Raidrun’s attacks barely reached Motem.
Even though we are using speculation.
Mortem destroyed everything just by swinging his sword and moving his body.
Crunch!
The wounds on Raidrun’s body increase.
Motem moved as if he knew everything.
How Raidrun moves.
How should I move so that Raidrun can’t respond?
You can’t do that without predicting and moving forward one by one.
He is such a gifted person that it makes you wonder if he really has the ability to see the future.
‘Can something change that much just by holding a sword?’
Choi Hyun-seok seriously suspected that there was some kind of magical power in Motem’s sword.
But, that is a wrong idea.
Although it is true that Motem’s sword is a famous sword, it does not have the ability to predict the future.
It’s just a black sword.
In fact, the reason why Motem’s movements have changed is simple.
Because he never learned how to fight with his fists.
As a swordsman who had only wielded a sword for hundreds of years, the difference between holding a sword and not holding one was bound to be stark.
In other words, Mortem’s combat sense was so excellent that he was able to briefly compete with Raidrun, an expert in a field he knew nothing about.
“Phew…”
Raidrun let out a labored breath.
Before he knew it, his body was covered in red blood.
Thanks to our best efforts, there were no fatal injuries, but the bleeding is too severe.
My muscles were so torn that my movements began to become dull.
There was no point in fighting any further here.
“I lost.”
Raidrun bowed his head.
Mortem lightly patted Raidrun on the shoulder.
“You don’t have to bow your head. It was a good fight.” “Why did you lie?”
“What do you mean?”
“You said you were serious, right? But you weren’t, were you?”
Moments ago, as he drew his sword, Motem had said:
“Warrior to warrior. I will engage in battle seriously.”
I will take the battle seriously.
Raidrun didn’t think Mortem would do that.
Because while he actively used the Raidrun style of fighting, Mortem never used fighting techniques even once.
“Do you think you would engage in battle seriously without even using speculation?”
Raidrun asked.
It wasn’t like he was particularly angry or arguing.
Just a question bordering on self-mockery.
Then Motem laughed.
“If you hit me like that, you weren’t taking it seriously, were you? I know you have a hidden plan.”
“…”
“And then scolding me, your superior, is unwarrior-like.”
“haha…”
Raidrun shook his head.
“I’m sorry. I’m completely defeated.” “Completely defeated? Didn’t that guy over there say that? This is a duel.”
“…”
“In Dalian, everyone can become a winner.”
Motem held out his hand.
“It was a good match.”
Raidran smiled and took her hand.
“It was an honor to be able to compete.”
In the warm atmosphere, the two men had a feeling.
This sparring will not end with just this one time.
***
Barena Forest.
In this territory of the Holy Empire, an untimely scream was heard.
“Kyaaaaah! Run away!”
Thousands of heavily armored humans run around.
Their faces were all filled with fear.
“Hero! Where did hero Sir Jerena go!?” “Idiot! She’s already dead! They’re all dead!” “I, I don’t want to die… Please save me…!” Kwajik-!
The upper body of a soldier screaming in fear disappears.
Kkwaduk, kkwaduk…!
The soldier started getting chewed by something, even with the armor he was wearing.
Gulp…!
Something that had swallowed the soldier smiled.
“Hmm~ I’m starting to get full.” “Eww! This monster! Die!”
The commander, who witnessed the death of his subordinate, draws his sword and rushes forward.
If someone saw it, they would say it was quite brave, but reality is cruel.
“A monster? Isn’t that too harsh?” Paaaaat-!
With a light gesture, the knight is oxidized into a handful of blood.
The soldiers who had been watching with a glimmer of hope fled again in panic.
The commander they followed was a knight whose fame was well known even in the empire.
There is no hope now that he has fallen.
“Eww!”
“Run! We have to run!” “It’s too late. We’ll all die… The Gourmets can’t win… The Empire will fall…”
A being that brought despair to everyone.
Hemis, who was called a gourmet, stroked his chin with his snow-white hand.
“Hmm~ Where should we go next?”
From a human perspective, they are a legendary demon tribe that only appears in history books.
Gourmet.
Her appearance made all humans tremble in fear.
