Episode 142
Abelson was breathing heavily.
His legs were trembling, and the mace in his hand felt excessively heavy.
‘How much time has passed…?’
She looked around.
The surrounding area was filled with the remains of the undead.
There were still more undead roaming around than that.
It was certain that a considerable number of enemies had been defeated.
‘You used your divine power too much.’
The root of the problem was the excessive use of divine power to protect the villagers at the beginning of the battle.
In just two emissions, about half of the entire divine power was consumed.
This is clearly an overpowering output, considering that you usually don’t even use a tenth of your total inventory when using magic.
It’s not even proper magic, it’s just something that was released without much thought.
It was practically the same as doing something that was intended to ruin one’s body.
After fighting nonstop for hours in such dire circumstances, Abelson’s body was at its limit.
‘Is Mr. Choi Hyun-seok okay…?’
Abelson turned his head and looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
“Hahaha! Leveling up again!”
Choi Hyun-seok was laughing like a crazy person and swinging his fists over and over again.
A huge horn had grown on its head.
The environment filled with magic seemed to give him strength.
Although he looked far from being a warrior, it was fortunate that he seemed to have no problems with the battle itself.
“These bastards are really good at cooking!”
I tried to avert my gaze from the warrior who was spouting out crazy words.
‘… It’ll be okay.’
Although he seemed a little mentally ill, it was much better than being physically ill.
Abelson next checked out Bobo.
“Kwaang!”
Bobo was still in good spirits.
As time passed and the number of high-level undead increased, he was not slow in destroying his enemies.
In fact, this is a natural thing.
Because Bobo was the strongest among the group to begin with.
Aghak, aghak!
Bobo was so hungry that he would chew up enemies in the middle of the battle.
But soon after, I just blurted it out.
“Tch!”
Bones and flesh protruded in heaps.
He seems very angry because he is growling lowly.
Perhaps he was annoyed because it didn’t suit his taste.
‘Anyway, it should be fine to hold out until a dominant entity appears.’
Thick magic is giving strength to Bobo and Choi Hyun-seok.
It’s the worst situation for Abelson, but those two are the key forces anyway.
If they’re okay, that’s fine.
‘Maybe really…’
Hope is beginning to appear.
The enemies are still numerous and are even getting stronger, but still.
‘I might be able to win.’
It failed to prevent the destruction of a village.
One, it might prevent it from becoming a bigger disaster.
Abelson gripped his mace tightly and steeled his wits.
Gooooooo…!
Suddenly, magic began to swirl.
A huge amount of magic energy was gathering in the center of the village.
Abelson bit his lip.
‘no way…’
The magic that had been floating in the air suddenly crashed down to the ground.
Hwaaaaah!
Abelson frowned at the oncoming storm of magic.
‘It’s begun.’
The magic that seemed like it would swallow everything disappeared in an instant.
Instead, the ground began to shake and something began to rise.
Fusuk…!
A huge bone emerged from the dirt.
It was the devil’s.
Even though it was made of only bones, it was of enormous size and had an intimidating feel.
‘Dragon!?’
For a moment, I thought of the legendary Demon Dragon, but then shook my head.
‘It’s not a dragon. What is it?’

It was small for a dragon and its appearance was different.
Crucially, the giant wings that symbolize the dragon are nowhere to be seen.
‘That’s…’
Abelson’s eyes narrowed.
There was something resting on top of a giant demon made of bones.
Judging by its size, it’s human.
In his hand he holds a long stick, presumably a weapon.
‘okay!’
Abelson’s eyes opened wide.
Finally, the enemy’s true identity was discovered.
At the same time, the worries that had been lingering throughout the battle were resolved.
‘This is where the Stancana Forest used to be.’
Abelson had been worrying about this for some time.
What on earth is this place?
What happened in the past that there are so many remains buried here?
It’s not even just humans.
Rather, more than half of the remains were presumed to be of the Demon Tribe.
If so, then it is the place where the demons and humans fought a war.
‘A battle fought in Stancana Forest 250 years ago.’
Looking at that giant demon and the human riding on it, I finally realized.
This is the place where a great war took place 250 years ago.
‘And the man on the horse is probably Lopar Dozer.’
Lopar Dozer was the greatest hero of his time.
A man who was not simply a hero of the Mariott Kingdom, but was called the greatest hero on the continent.
People had no doubt that he would soon become a legend.
However, unfortunately, he died young at the age of thirty-seven.
Right here, in the Stancana Forest.
‘He sacrificed his life to win the battle and ultimately became a legend.’
When he died, those who survived the battle all said the same thing.
Lopar Dozer was no mere hero.
He was already a legend in and of himself.
***
Choi Hyun-seok was surprised.
Suddenly, magic swirled and a giant monster made of bones emerged from the ground.
“What is that…”
“I don’t know either…?”
Choi Hyun-seok frowned at Rachel’s answer.
“What the hell do you know?” “Now you know full well that the warrior is screwed.”
“f*ck.”
It is as Rachel said.
The situation right now was not very good.
‘Magi is on a different level from other guys.’
It was a powerful magic that would make the hairs on your skin stand on end just by facing it.
Choi Hyun-seok hurriedly took out the combat power meter.
[ Combat Power: 192,450 ]
“As expected.”
It barely touched the combat power meter that can measure up to 200,000.
It wasn’t as high as I thought, but it was still no easy opponent.
“Mr. Abelson! Is that monster the dominant entity!?”
Even though it was obvious to anyone who saw it that there was a dominant entity, I asked just to confirm.
But the answer I heard was unexpected.
“That demon is not a dominant entity!”
“yes?”
Choi Hyun-seok blinked.
A gigantic body that is 10 meters tall and has a fighting power of 200,000.
If that guy isn’t the dominant entity, then what the hell is the dominant entity?
“Look at the devil’s hand!”
Choi Hyun-seok raised his gaze.
Then a skeleton appeared on top of the demon’s head.
“What is that?”
“Ropar Dozer! A hero of the past, whose military might is virtually legendary.”
“yes…?”
Choi Hyun-seok made a dumbfounded expression.
The force is legendary.
This is a completely unexpected development.
Choi Hyun-seok has never even seen the legend before.
Looking at the commander of the Demon King’s army, who is treated as a legend, there is no answer.
‘Rat. Park Hyun-ah. Lip monster…’
They are all just monsters that can’t get along.
There didn’t seem to be even a glimmer of possibility.
Just in case, I checked the guy with a combat power meter.
[ Combat power: Unmeasurable ]
“What the heck…”
The swearing comes out naturally.
As Abelson said, the real thing was the skull on top of the head.
“It may be funny to ask this now, but can you win?”
“well.”
Abelson also looked tense.
Can you beat the legendary Lopar Dozer?
She gripped the mace tightly.
“Your chance is now. Since you’ve just woken up, your power will be much weaker than it was when you were alive. Besides, Lopar Dozer is someone who became a legend after he died. He’s not a complete legend, so it’s not impossible.” “Hmm… I understand.”
Choi Hyun-seok understood Abelson’s words in his own way.
‘Just looking at the Nicolo warrior party, it was like that.’
Even though he was resurrected as an undead, it seemed that he did not have all the power he had in life.
No matter how close to being a legend that man, Lopar Dozer, was, he probably isn’t in perfect condition right now.
“But it still doesn’t change the fact that they are stronger than us.”
“…”
“He will regain his strength over time. Before that, we must deal with him here and now.”
Abelson said with a determined look.
The appearance of an unexpected giant.
With most of the core power now located at the edge of the demonic realm, the interior is bound to be weakly defended.
If the Lopar Dozer is released like this, it won’t end with just one or two cities being blown away.
In the worst case scenario, a country could be blown up.
“All right.”
Choi Hyun-seok loosened up his body.
“Now is the time to run away. Let’s give it a try.”
***
The demon swung its huge forelegs.
It was an agility that did not match his size.
Choi Hyun-seok quickly stepped back.
There was a loud noise as his front paw slammed down on the spot where he had been.
“By the way, what is that demon beast!?” “It was a demon beast raised by the division commander of the infamous 3rd division of the Demon King’s army at the time. It died at the hands of Lopar Dozer.” “Ha! It’s not even funny to play as a god on top of a demon beast that you killed yourself.”
Choi Hyun-seok clicked his tongue as he looked at the Lopar Dozer that still hadn’t come down from the top of the Demon’s head.
“Anyway, now we’re all the same undead.”
It was a strange irony that those who had bitten each other while alive had become unified as undead after death.
“By the way, why does that guy Lopar keep acting like that?”
I couldn’t understand why Lopar Dozer didn’t participate in the battle even after a considerable amount of time had passed.
Abelson shouted urgently.
“I’m regaining my strength! We must quickly defeat this demon and bring down Lopar Dozer.” “Understood. Let’s go! Bobo!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo ran.
The demon was so big that even Bobo, who was the size of an elephant, looked small.
“You caught my eye! I believe you!”
“Kwaang!”
If you only look at the fighting power, Masu and Bobo are at a similar level.
Choi Hyun-seok trusted Bobo and ran.
‘Drag him into battle before he can recover any further.’
If Lopar Dozer is recovering his strength as Abelson said, then this cannot continue.
I had to somehow drag him into battle and finish him off while he was in his incomplete state.
‘Anyway, if we just finish that guy off, this situation will be resolved.’
You don’t need to worry about other undead.
If only the dominant entity, Lopar Dozer, were to die, all the undead would stop.
Choi Hyun-seok finally caught the devil’s tail and started to ride it up.
“Oh! Warrior! You look just like a gymnast!”
It wasn’t easy to climb atop the demon’s swaying body during battle.
There was nowhere to hold on to, since there were only bones.
However, Choi Hyun-seok continued to run over the water without falling precariously.
‘Over there.’
Finally, the appearance of the Lopar Dozer began to come into view.
He was still sitting comfortably atop the demon’s head.
‘Is that a spear in your hand?’
He was holding a long stick, the end of which appeared to be a spear.
‘I’ll deal with him right away while he’s turning around.’
Choi Hyun-seok activated his magic.
[ Crepitus Mode ]
The back of my calves and the palms of my hands changed into exhaust pipes.
There, magic exploded and Choi Hyun-seok flew away at incredible speed.
‘I have to succeed no matter what.’
In Crepitus Mode, Choi Hyun-seok can fly and move at much faster speeds than before.
It was still dangerous to use it in real combat because the controls were still immature, but now was not the time to worry about this and that.
Choi Hyun-seok flew straight towards the Ropar Dozer.
‘Go…!’
Finally, Choi Hyun-seok arrived on top of the Ropar Dozer.
He twisted his body 180 degrees in the air.
Grit your teeth and increase your magic output to the max.
Kwaaaaah-!
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred at the back of my calf.
Choi Hyun-seok’s legs fell vertically.
‘It went in exactly!’
Choi Hyun-seok cheered quietly.
It was an act bordering on the miraculous, but fortunately it was successful.
The bridge was flying straight towards Lopar Dozer’s face.
The speed was so incredible that even Choi Hyun-seok himself had difficulty reacting.
‘It’s too late to avoid it.’
A sitting Lopar Dozer cannot avoid attacks.
That’s when the bastard started to move.
In a completely unexpected way.
chin.
Lopar Dozer grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s leg.
‘This is crazy!’
It is an attack that is not only fast but also powerful enough to rival any other attack.
He held it with his bare hands.
As if nothing happened.
Sparks shot out of the bastard’s empty eyes.
-Are you… a demon?
Instead of answering, Choi Hyun-seok blew the other leg.
Nobilis
Type 2 – Expression of Respect
Originally a type of leg kick that attacked the opponent’s lower body.
However, since Choi Hyun-seok is currently positioned relatively higher up, the result is that he is aiming for the enemy’s head.
-this…
This attack was unexpected, and Lopar Dozer was a little slow to react.
Kwaaaaah-!
There was a purple flash as his shin and temple collided.
“Demon?”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled faintly and only then answered the bastard’s question.
“You are a warrior.”
