Episode 13
Choi Hyun-seok escaped the castle with the cooks.
The destination was a large forest located behind the 3rd Corps headquarters.
“I wonder if Bobo is okay…”
Bobo was now left in the kitchen.
Because Chef Kulkan was against Bobo being with him.
“Bobo can’t come with you.” “Huh? Why is that?” “Because if Bobo goes, the demons will run away and we won’t be able to hunt.”
Choi Hyun-seok had no choice.
If it’s too much trouble, then there’s no choice but to do it.
‘Bobo, don’t get into trouble. Please…!’
I don’t worry about Bobo getting hurt or anything.
In a situation where rumors about Bobo and Choi Hyun-seok have already spread like wildfire, no one is crazy enough to mess with Bobo.
But I wonder if Bobo will go somewhere and eat the Demon King’s army officers…
That was what worried me the most.
‘By the way, where are you going?’
Choi Hyun-seok looked around.
It’s a fairly thick forest.
It felt like I had walked for thirty minutes after leaving the castle, but I still felt like I had not reached my destination.
At that moment, something flashed in Choi Hyun-seok’s mind.
‘Wait a minute… If I do this well, I can run away, right?’
That’s the situation.
A good forest to hide your body in.
There are no intruders here.
There are also lip monsters that give you goosebumps just by looking at them.
A little head that turns a knight into a blood cake with one punch.
There are no giant dogs that treat the rough-and-tumble Demon King’s army like snacks.
There are some large and somewhat stupid-looking cooks though.
It’s just a joke compared to the threats we’ve faced so far.
‘A golden opportunity to escape the Demon King’s army! The heavens have not abandoned me after all!’
For now, all I can think about is getting out of here.
After that, he seeks advice from Rachel and goes to the human world.
Sure, the road will be rough, but it doesn’t matter.
That would be 100 times safer than being stuck with this crazy Demon King’s army.
If there’s even the slightest opening, let’s move immediately.
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes began to sparkle.
Then one of the cooks shouted.
“There’s a Villder up ahead!” ‘Villder? What’s that?’
Choi Hyun-seok’s doubts were quickly resolved.
“Queeeeeek!”
Appearance similar to a wild boar.
The only difference is that it is as big as an elephant.
‘Crazy… You want to catch that now?’
It is powerful enough to kill even a common wild boar if struck properly.
But that demon named Boyder was as big as an elephant.
‘The moment we hit each other, we can’t even pick up the bones.’
To be exact, it will be a tiring porridge.
Because it was obvious that if a guy like that got hit, his body would turn into a flat dumpling.
But the cooks were brave.
“It’s dinner tonight!”
“Cut it down!”
“Wow!”
The cooks, wielding huge knives, rushed at Boyder with shouts.
“Gulp, puuhh!”
Boiler snorts loudly and runs towards the cooks.
Kookung! Kookung! Kookung!
Every time Boiler stepped on the ground, it shook as if there was an earthquake.
“Stop!”
At that moment, a cook bravely stood in front of Boyder.
‘Oh… is it showing me something?’
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up.
How dare you stop a wild boar as big as a house with just your body.
You can’t do that unless you’re crazy.
Choi Hyun-seok expected that the brave cook would have some kind of tremendous power like Raidrun.
Kuung!
“Kkaaaak!”
The cook flew into the sky.
It seemed as if his life had ended with a short final cry.
“He killed Morgon!” “Let’s avenge Morgon!”

“Wow!”
The cooks rush towards the boiler with shouts.
The sight was like a moth jumping into a pit of fire.
Choi Hyun-seok sighed and touched his forehead.
“ha…”
As he had expected, the cooks did not possess any great abilities.
Just being stupid and without a plan.
Kuung!
“Ugh!”
The head was crushed by the boiler’s front paw.
Kuung!
“Ouch!”
He flies through the sky, exhausted from the back kick.
‘What the hell is this…’
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes shook like crazy.
He just came to the kitchen to get ingredients.
I’m saying that I’m not here to join the suicide squad.
If I had known that the chef was a gathering place for such idiots, I wouldn’t have come near him.
“What are humans doing?”
Then, Chef Kulkan, whom I had met for the first time, approached me.
“yes?”
“If you just watch, you’ll leave without getting anything. Look. The first hunt is already over.”
As Kulkan said, Boyder had already collapsed.
‘What the…? You caught it already…?’
When I first saw it, I thought the hunt would fail and we would all be wiped out.
But the cooks quickly hunted down the boilers.
Their abilities seemed to be more advanced than expected.
“Chief Kulkan! The hunt is over!”
“What about the damage?”
“Death is twelve.”
There were no injuries.
Because it was an instant death the moment it was attacked.
“Okay. That’s great!”
Although quite a few soldiers died, Kulkan smiled instead.
“Take good care of the body. Don’t let your comrade’s death be in vain.”
“yes.”
The cook leaves to clean up.
Coolkan placed his hand on Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder.
“Human. If you want to take meat, you’d better try harder.”
“yes…”
I began to feel very anxious about the journey ahead.
***
A brief period of maintenance after the battle.
Choi Hyun-seok said he was going to take care of business and moved to a secluded place.
As the surroundings became quiet, Rachel appeared out of thin air.
“Hero, hero, hero!”
As soon as Rachel appeared, she started barking like crazy.
“Why are you making such a fuss again?” “You don’t look like you’re making a fuss!? What are you going to do now?” “What am I going to do… I have to hunt.”
Rachel was startled by Choi Hyun-seok’s words.
“Are you crazy!? You want to catch that unstoppable demon? You absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot do it!” “Then why don’t you try running away? I guarantee that before you even take a few steps, you’ll be known as a great place to eat raw fish.”
The thought of escape was neatly abandoned.
If I were to get out of this forest alone, I would need ten lives.
“It’s better this way.”
“How did it go?”
“Anyway, if I’m going to duel in a month, it’s impossible in my current state. I need to level up and improve my skills before then. I’ll also get some ingredients while I’m at it.” “But I think becoming a famous raw fish restaurant is more important than leveling up.” “I have a plan for that.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled confidently, which was unusual for him.
“Rahel. You said that last time, right? The fastest way to level up is to kill demons or beasts.”
“Right…?”
Rachel made a face as if she was wondering.
“Does that give you experience even if you just hit the last one?”
“…”
“I let those idiots do the fighting while I just hit the last blow and splurge on experience points!”
“ha…”
Rachel sighed deeply.
This warrior was more… no, more clever than she had thought.
“Perhaps, just like you said, you can level up just by hitting the last attack. But there’s a problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Is it easy to precisely cut off the demon’s breath in a chaotic battle situation? And you’re a beginner, warrior.”
“That’s right.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded at Rachel’s words.
Because he also thought the same thing.
“I’m sorry. I misunderstood you all this time.”
“Huh? A misunderstanding?”
“Just. I thought you knew how to think.” “Ha, it makes me feel twice as bad to hear that from a warrior.”
“what!?”
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel both crumpled their expressions.
It seemed like this showdown would end in a draw.
“Anyway, I don’t think it’ll be easy to strike the final blow like you said. No, it’ll definitely be difficult.” “Then do you have a separate method in mind?”
“no.”
Choi Hyun-seok said confidently.
“We have to rush in, no matter what. What else can we do?” “That’s truly worthy of a warrior…”
Rachel sighed deeply.
‘To be honest, it’s not like I have nothing in mind.’
In fact, Choi Hyun-seok had thought of another way.
That’s right, use the warrior shop.
However, this plan has not been concretely developed yet.
Information is also very lacking.
Since it would cost quite a lot of warrior points to execute the plan, I decided to put it on hold for now.
“Then let’s go back. If we’re too late, people will think it’s strange.”
“yes.”
Rachel disappears again.
Choi Hyun-seok headed to where the cooks were gathered.
***
Coolkan said as he watched Choi Hyun-seok return.
“Did you have a good time?”
“yes!”
“I was worried that you might be stupid enough to try to run away, but luckily you are.” “How could that be! Hahaha!”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was secretly hurt, laughed exaggeratedly.
“Kulkan-nim. So when is your next hunt?” “Huh? Are you planning to man up and join the battle this time?” “Of course! After all, I am also a member of the Demon King’s army! Just watching the blood-boiling battles is making my body shiver. Hahaha!”
When it came to flattery and lies, Choi Hyun-seok would spit out words in a smooth, flowing manner as if his tongue was greased.
It’s so suspicious that he might actually be a fraud rather than a fighting champion.
Perhaps because it was a matter of survival, hidden talents seemed to shine quickly.
“You…!”
That was when.
Coolkan’s expression hardened after hearing Choi Hyun-seok’s words.
It was a completely unexpected and cold reaction.
‘Did you make a mistake? Or maybe you don’t like flattery…’
Choi Hyun-seok bit his lips tightly, looking very nervous.
“You’re talking about something quite pleasing to the eye, human! Hahahaha!”
Kulkan smiled brightly.
“Hahahaha! No, you’re still a rookie compared to the great chef!” “No, you have the qualities to become a great Demon King!” “This is… Thank you!”
Choi Hyun-seok scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed face.
“So I’ll leave the lead to you in the next hunt!”
“yes…?”
“The leader is the most honorable position. Normally, it would never be given to a newcomer… but this time, it’s an exception.”
At Kulkan’s words, Choi Hyun-seok’s face hardened coldly.
‘If you’re the leader, then no way…’
When I first encountered the Boiler, the soldier at the very front came to mind.
The name was probably Morgon.
“Stop!”
Morgon, who stood alone and bravely in front of Boyder.
“Kkaaaak!”
The result was a bloody mess so thick it was hard to find any trace of it when it was alive.
‘f*ck! Absolutely not!’
Choi Hyun-seok quickly waved his hand.
“Chef Kulkan! Thank you very much, but I cannot accept such an honorable position!”
“Why?”
“How can I, a human, have the decency to take the honorable and glorious lead? Furthermore, if a human like that takes the lead, the other cooks will be dissatisfied! Please reconsider!”
My tongue turns as if it were a motor.
They say that even rolling in dog shit is better than this life.
If it was for the sake of living, I would have thrown away all that pride.
‘I am not a suicidal person!’
Choi Hyun-seok desperately tried to persuade Kulkan.
“Hmm… This is not an opportunity that comes easily. Think about it again.”
Kulkan said with a serious expression.
‘I don’t need it! You crazy bastard!’
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head urgently.
“No. No matter how much I think about it, being in the lead is too much for me. I should give up such an honorable position to the other cooks…”
At that moment when Choi Hyun-seok was speaking.
“Chef! It’s a demonic attack!”
“what!?”
The sound of crying began to be heard.
It sounded almost like a wolf howling.
“Aww!”
“Awww!”
The sound was not one.
Kulkan took on a serious expression as he heard crying coming from all directions.
“Why did it have to be Urun? They’ve already surrounded the area.”
We were suddenly surrounded.
Choi Hyun-seok’s expression also became serious.
“Is this a dangerous situation!?”
Kulkan shook his head at Choi Hyun-seok’s question.
“No. It’s not dangerous.” “Huh? Then why…?”
“Our meat doesn’t taste very good.”
“ah…”
It was truly a worry befitting a cook.
“There’s nothing I can do. I’ll get rid of it quickly!”
He shouted at Kulkan and the cooks.
“Let’s add urun stew to the menu tonight!”
“Yeah!”
“Everyone, extend your extension!”
The cooks lifted their blood-soaked knives.
“Dolgyeo Station-!”
“Wow!”
The cooks run, shouting loudly.
Meanwhile, Choi Hyun-seok also picked up a kitchen knife that had fallen on the floor.
‘Is it finally starting?’
Although there were many twists and turns, fortunately things went according to plan.
‘Whew… I can do it.’
Choi Hyun-seok took a deep breath and calmed his mind.
There’s already enough mob violence.
There are enough tanks that can draw aggro.
If you can’t accept it, you’re stupid.
‘It’s totally awesome!’
Choi Hyun-seok gripped the kitchen knife tightly.
And then he ran out screaming at full speed.
“Wow! The final blow is mine!”
The time for leveling up was quickly approaching.
