Episode 115
“Eeeeeeeeeee!”
Choi Hyun-seok screamed loudly.
Because they were running through the parade ground at incredible speed.
“This is too fast!”
“Hero! There’s a wall ahead…!”
As Rachel shouts urgently, Choi Hyun-seok collides with the wall.
Phew!
In the end, it was slammed into the wall like a large letter.
It slowly slid down to the floor.
Choi Hyun-seok was unable to get up for a while and wriggled on the floor.
The impact was severe because it hit at a fairly fast speed.
I wipe my nose with an unpleasant feeling and blood comes out.
“Oh my… my nose is bleeding.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who got up from his seat, looked very different.
There were crater-like holes all over his body, and magical energy was exploding out of them.
“It’s harder than I thought.”
In fact, this wasn’t the first time Choi Hyun-seok had hit a wall.
He had been running around the parade ground all day, crashing into something.
Rachel, who could not stand to watch, tried to stop him.
“How about giving up today? If you keep doing this, you’ll end up breaking something.” “No. You have to hurry up and finish one more and finish the warrior quest.”
There was a reason why Choi Hyun-seok went through such hardships.
To create a new speculation using body transformation.
A few days ago, I completed the blade and current-flowing pulminium, but I needed to make one more sphere to complete the warrior quest.
“The difficulty in controlling it is a problem, but the flow of magic is too unstable. I don’t know what’s wrong.”
The goal is to create speculation in the form of a demon called ‘Crepitus’.
The now extinct demon Crepitus was characterized by its ability to cause explosions with its magic.
It is said that he not only attacks enemies using explosions, but also flies in the sky.
“It is said that no one can keep up with the speed of Crepitus, who flies through the sky with explosive magic… Isn’t this good?”
The first thing that came to Choi Hyun-seok’s mind after reading the material was the airplane engine.
So I tried transforming my body and using my magic as I felt it, but it was much more difficult than I thought.
“It seems like it’s the right way to do things, but what’s wrong with it?”
As Choi Hyun-seok was trying out various variations of the magic flow, he heard a familiar voice.
“Does it look fun?”
A beautiful voice that will make you dizzy just by listening to it.
First, Choi Hyun-seok’s mind became clearer than ever.
“Meet the Commander!”
The waist bends automatically as a reflex.
Hemis approached with a smile.
“Long time no see. How have you been?” “Yes! Is the commander okay?”
“I’m always good~”
Hemis was more tense than usual.
A strangely excited look.
She came over and placed her hand on Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder.
“Let’s see…”
Hemis’s magic flows in.
I forced myself to hold back the dizziness caused by the unfathomable power.
“Is this based on Crepitus?” “Yes, yes…! That’s right.”
Although no explanation was given, Hemis accurately sensed Choi Hyun-seok’s situation.
“I know Crappies well because I’ve had them a few times in the past.”
She began to guide Choi Hyun-seok’s magic.
To be exact, it was closer to grabbing the magic and forcibly dragging it away.
As a result, the flow of magic changed and Choi Hyun-seok’s body began to change again.
“Ahem~ This will do.”
The back of Choi Hyun-seok’s calf changed into something like a jet engine exhaust pipe.
Both palms also change into similar shapes.
“I’ve improved the Crepitus’s engine. This way, it will be able to move more stably.” “Aha… Thank you.”
The moment when Choi Hyun-seok expressed his thanks with a bewildered expression.
A system notification was heard.
[Congratulations! You’ve completed a new form of speculation!]
[Name your speculation! It will be registered as an official skill]
[As a reward, physical transformation due to magic is stabilized]

Normally the notification would have ended here, but this time it wasn’t.
[This is a speculation boasting overwhelming perfection!]
[Special rewards will be paid!]

[Hidden ability magic increases]
Choi Hyun-seok blinked at the repeated notifications.
‘What happened…?’
It had only been about five minutes since Hemis had touched it.
Then, not only was the warrior quest completed, but additional rewards were also paid.
A speculation that boasts overwhelming perfection.
It was the first time the Warrior Quest had been praised like that since the first time he had created his own spec.
“How is it? Did it work out well?” “Uh… yes! Thank you!”
Choi Hyun-seok bent his waist 90 degrees once again.
‘I knew he was a monster, but… he’s really at a level that I can’t stand.’
It was a moment that made me realize once again how great Hemis is.
‘Anyway, it’s a huge win!’
Thanks to Hemis, not only was I able to quickly resolve a problem I had been struggling with for a long time, I also received additional compensation.
Choi Hyun-seok shouted loudly.
“Thank you so much! It’s all thanks to you, Commander!” “Oh ho ho! I’m glad it went well. But you know.”
Hemis suddenly chuckled.
“Where in the world is there such a thing as a free lunch?”
“yes…?”
“I helped you, so shouldn’t you help me?” “Oh, that’s right! Of course! Where in the world is there anything that doesn’t come with a price! Hahaha…!”
Choi Hyun-seok laughed heartily with all his might.
The moment I let my guard down, it felt like a shit-eating face would pop out.
“Don’t be so nervous. What I want is very simple.” “Yes! Just say the word! I’ll do my best!”
“good.”
Hemis raises his hand.
He poked Choi Hyun-seok’s chest with his long, pure white fingers.
“Don’t trust anyone.”
“yes?”
“Remember that the only thing you can trust in this world is yourself.”
“All right!”
Although it was an unknown language, Choi Hyun-seok answered forcefully.
“That’s fine. Since you made a promise, you have to keep it. Do you understand?” “I’ll engrave it into my bones!” “Oh~ Should I engrave it right now?”
“That, that…”
“Oh ho ho! Just kidding.”
Hemis turned around, smiling.
“I have something to take care of. See you later~” “Yes! Go ahead and take a look!”
Choi Hyun-seok made a complicated expression as he watched Hemis’s back moving away.
“Hero. Lip Monster. Don’t you think you’re acting a little strange today?” “That’s right. Something’s different than usual.” “They say that when a person suddenly changes, it means that it’s time for them to die. Aren’t you going to die soon?”
Choi Hyun-seok burst into laughter at Rachel’s words.
“Die? Make sense. Who the hell kills that monster? He’s not even a human being in the first place.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Okay. I guess I should just keep training.”
I had to practice my newfound speculation thanks to Hemis.
Because speculation doesn’t end with just being able to use it.
There was no end to learning and mastering speculation.
It started off strong, but the training didn’t last long.
‘The more I think about it, the stranger it gets.’
For some reason, it was a day when the back of Hemis leaving kept flashing before my eyes.
***
A state of emergency was declared in every country on the continent.
The emergence of a gourmet.
She, who had not been seen for nearly a hundred years, was stirring up the battlefield again.
in result.
The damage suffered by humans in just one week was indescribable.
Among them, the Holy Empire Gatren suffered the greatest damage, with half of the total casualties coming from Gatren.
“We need to come up with a solution. A solution!”
Commander of Gatren, Brian Balkatz, shouted.
He spoke passionately as he looked at other Allied generals and commanders.
“Are you just going to watch this gourmet run wild!?”
Those attending the meeting let out a deep sigh.
“Do you think we would want to be the ones to suffer?” “That’s right. We have no countermeasures.” “There’s no one who can deal with a gourmet.” “Are you just going to watch like this!?”
Brian Balkatz’s face turned bright red.
At that time, he was the commander-in-chief of another great nation, the Dracaen Empire.
Olaven Grimier raised his hand.
“If there is a countermeasure, doesn’t the Gatren Empire have one?” “What do you mean?”
Brian Balkatz’s eyes narrowed.
The Gatren Empire and the Dracaen Empire have been at odds for a long time.
Because of this, the relationship between the two commanders could not have been good, and Olaven Grimier was a person that Brian Balkatz particularly disliked.
‘What on earth is that rascal trying to say…’
As expected.
As expected, Olaven Grimier asked sharp questions.
“Isn’t there a legend from the great Holy Empire, Sir Asahel Bald? I think he would be worthy of fighting the Gourmet.” “Are you saying that?” “Yes. Isn’t it natural that a legend should come forward to take on the Legion Commander?”
Brian Balkatz gritted his teeth.
At first glance, Olaven Grimier’s words seemed reasonable.
To deal with the Demon King’s army commander, a legend must come forward.
The problem is that legends should not be used carelessly.
The existence of legend is a strategic weapon.
It was nothing short of the ultimate weapon that would change the course of war.
An example of this on Earth would be nuclear weapons.
He threatens, “Shoot? I’ll shoot!?” but doesn’t actually shoot.
Likewise, there were only a few instances where the legend actually moved.
Because it was difficult to handle the ripple effect when the actual legend moved.
A bigger problem is when a legend dies during an operation.
Then, the country’s power suddenly drops to half or less.
No country wanted to take that risk.
In the first place, the reason was that legendary beings did not move according to orders.
Brian Balkatz, who had been thinking, slumped down in his chair.
“Let’s stop this pointless argument. You do know that you cannot call upon Lord Asahel Bald, do you?” “I do not know why.” “Then let me ask you the opposite. Can the Dracaen Empire call upon the legend, Lord Basel Scott?” “Lord Basel Scott only acts when the Dracaen Empire is in danger. Not even the Emperor of the Empire can act carelessly.” “The same goes for Lord Asahel Bald.”
Graben Olimia tilted his head.
“How strange. I understand that Lord Asahel Bald is obedient to His Holiness’ orders, is he not?” “… Only in cases where our Holy Empire is in danger.”
Brian’s voice was calm, but he couldn’t help but feel his eyes tremble.
‘How does that rascal know that…?’
There are quite a few legends on the continent.
Most of them live in seclusion or are confined to their homes.
Even if it was an order from a king or an emperor, it was not easy to move.
The only time they move is when their country is in danger.
However, Asahel Baldman is different.
He is bound by some agreement to absolutely obey the orders of Pope Orban IV.
It was questionable how the commander-in-chief of the Dracaen Empire, which was practically an enemy nation, knew of facts that were considered confidential even within the Holy Empire.
Brian Balkatz secretly clenched his fists.
“Um, I understand. If that’s the case, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Olaven Grimier smiled as if he knew everything but let it slide.
Brian Balkatz was furious, but it was best to let the tide go.
Now he had to play the role of a commander who was frustrated with a helpless situation.
“Anyway, this can’t go on. We have to stop this gourmet somehow!”
In response to Brian’s words, everyone in the meeting gave their opinions.
“Let’s pull back the front lines.” “Are you saying we should give up the land!?” “This is a temporary retreat. There’s no need to increase the damage, right?” “Are you saying that when you know how far we’ve already pushed back the front lines?” “Then come out of the Kingdom of Domis and confront the gourmets.”
“What did you say?”
“Why. Are you afraid to confront the gourmets directly? It seems that the Knights of the Kingdom of Domis were just a sham.” “How dare you! You sailors who fish in the sea look down on the Knights of our Kingdom!?” “Are you just calling the navy of the Kingdom of Agros sailors!?” “That’s right! The Kingdom of Agros is the rear anyway, so it has nothing to lose, right!?”
The meeting was going completely awry.
The level was too low to be considered a gathering of a country’s generals or commanders.
It soon got to the point where the commanders asked each other about the well-being of their parents.
Brian Balkatz stood up as someone pulled out a knife and started swinging it.
‘You pathetic bastards…’
From the perspective of the Gatren Empire, it was infuriating to see these weak nations raising their voices and fighting each other.
Brian Balkatz, returning to his barracks, suddenly smiled.
‘This f*cking crap will end soon.’
The day when we can sweep away all the unsavory guys in one go is not far away.
