Episode 148
Korkan doubted his ears.
What were those apostates talking about just now?
Trash? Criminal?
Rather than anger, I was overcome by bewilderment.
“You are the worst of the wastes who have betrayed the Deusis Church and the Holy Empire Gatren, and even turned your back on humanity. Who are you to say such things to someone now?” “Waste is too harsh. It won’t be easy for that guy to rehabilitate.”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head with a sigh.
The sight of him babbling was disgusting just to look at.
However, instead of getting angry, Korkan laughed.
“Hahahaha! This is funny. This is funny! It’s so funny to see you blabbering on without even knowing the topic. I’m looking forward to the future!”
What on earth is confidence?
Even though Korkan was alone, he could never be defeated.
‘The Empire’s Intelligence Service has already figured out all of Choi Hyun-seok’s powers.’
Recently, two heroes of the Holy Empire died.
Byron Hahn and Washington Gessred.
These are the heroes who died in the operation to capture the Red Nightmare Raidrun.
The Holy Empire Gatren conducted a thorough post-mortem to avoid repeating that failure.
‘The battle at that time was a failure due to not properly assessing the power of the Red Nightmare Raidrun.’
The empire dispatched sufficient force.
The problem is that Raidrun’s skills are much better than expected.
Choi Hyun-seok, who appeared later, is also clearly a factor in the failure, but he was dispatched with such an emergency situation in mind from the beginning.
If Raidrun’s power analysis had been done properly, there was absolutely no way it would have failed.
Anyway, what’s important is that Choi Hyun-seok’s power in that battle has also been completely analyzed.
‘The power of Choi Hyun-seok that has been identified is that of a knight commander of a mid-level territory. It hasn’t even been a month yet, so even considering his unusual growth rate, there is no chance of me losing.’
It’s not that the commander of the mid-sized territory is weak.
It is certain that he is a capable person who will be treated well and treated well wherever he goes.
However, it was nothing compared to Korkan.
Korkan possesses powers that could be called a quasi-hero.
A strong man who might become a hero within a few years.
It is not a position to do anything at the level of a mere knight commander.
‘There were giant demons in the battle at the time, but they are no longer visible. Abelson was originally a power player, so there were no variables.’
It’s perfect.
At this point, we should be able to subdue those apostates without much difficulty.
As I was thinking that, Choi Hyun-seok’s voice was heard.
“Hmm, the combat power is 97,000. It shouldn’t be that difficult.”
It seemed that Choi Hyun-seok was also conducting his own analysis of the situation.
Korkan pretended to know the word ‘battle power’.
“Combat power? Are you talking about the numbers that the warriors see?” “Oh, you knew that?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked a little surprised.
Because Korkan was the first non-warrior to know about combat power levels.
“How high is the number 97,000?”
Korkan asked.
Since he didn’t know much about combat power, he was curious about his level.
It is true that I am secretly looking forward to it.
I wonder how that guy will react.
But the answer I heard was completely unexpected.
“It’s shit food.”
“What…?”
“By my standards, anyone with a combat power of less than 150,000 shouldn’t walk around with their shoulders hunched over. But why is a kid with less than 100,000 people holding his head up so stiffly?”
I don’t know exactly what Choi Hyun-seok is talking about.
However, he could tell that he was being ignored.
“Quickly call a bunch of your friends and subordinates. I don’t think I’ll be able to gain much experience if I just capture you.” “Stop talking nonsense!”
Korkan screamed.
“I can’t possibly listen to you. I’ll sew your absent-minded mouth shut right now!”
Korkan kicked the ground and ran.
‘You cheeky brat. I’ll show you the difference in class.’
Korkan is a hunting dog.
The Hounds of the Holy Empire are a group created to keep humans, not demons, in check.
Because of this, they receive training that is completely different from that of general reporters.
Most of the training is focused on interpersonal combat against humans.
The training process includes even the most petty and brutal methods that a knight would never imagine.
It means not being picky about the means and methods to achieve the goal.
Even within such a group, Korkan, who was considered an elite, could not help but be strong.
If the conditions and circumstances are right, even an average hero can be defeated.
‘Start off lightly.’
Korkan’s magic power has been activated.

For a moment, it accelerated to the point where I had the illusion that the new model of Korkan was stretching.
At the same time, his sword struck hard in a diagonal direction.
‘Oh, you dodged it?’
The black Choi Hyun-seok’s body could not be divided.
It just brushed past the hem of my clothes.
Even if it was an honest attack from the front, it was quite surprising that it was able to avoid it at this speed.
“Let’s see how far you can follow….”
At that moment, a fist flew into Korkan’s face.
Kwajik-!
It was a fist that flew at me so unexpectedly that I couldn’t dodge it.
Even though I turned my head to let out the shock, I still felt a buzz in my head.
“Whew!”
When I spit, red blood comes out mixed with it.
Korkan laughed ferociously.
“It’s pretty good.”
“You too. You’re the best I’ve ever met.” “Don’t be so cocky just because I hit you once. I just let my guard down.” “Yeah, yeah. Stop fighting with your mouth and attacking me.”
Choi Hyun-seok waved his hand.
It was an obvious provocation.
If it were before, I would have let it go, but not now.
A situation where Choi Hyun-seok’s movements were noticed to be unusual after one collision.
Korkan’s head was infinitely cold.
“Ugh!”
The sword flies in with a shout.
A sword that cuts through the air with great precision.
Taking advantage of the gap, a fist flew in.
Raise one arm to block the punch and kick at the same time.
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up as he blocked Korkan’s foot.
This was the first time a sword-wielding opponent had attacked with something other than a sword.
Boohoo!
The sword flies again.
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed the sword with his magically-powered hand.
Korkan let go of his sword without retrieving it.
He bent his upper body in that position.
Sirend Martial Arts
Type 5 – Persistent Death
Sirend Martial Arts is a martial art used by the Sirend clan, who were enemies of the Holy Empire long ago.
It is said that the Holy Empire, sensing the danger of this speculation at the time, thoroughly trampled on it and cut off the pulse of speculation.
One, it is only a fact known to the public.
The truth was different.
The empire, having realized the utility of speculation, was secretly teaching it to its hunting dogs.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Korkan began to strike with his fists at incredible speed.
A path that is difficult for the opponent to block.
A lethal attack designed to target only vital points.
Choi Hyun-seok frowned and tried to step back, but Korkan grabbed his arm.
“You can’t run away!”
Korkan’s magic boils over once again.
Sirend Martial Arts
Type 3 – The Reversal of Death
He grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s arms and body, tripped him, and threw him down.
Because it was a strong movement using speculation, Choi Hyun-seok was unable to resist and was slammed to the floor.
Boom!
The sword Choi Hyun-seok was holding flew into the air as it crashed roughly to the floor.
Korkan picked up his sword as he kicked the sand from the floor and splashed it in his face.
Gatren Divine Sword
Type 5 – Divine Judgment
The sword held in reverse is thrust vertically downward.
Choi Hyun-seok avoided the situation by twisting his body even when he couldn’t see ahead because of the sand.
Kwajik, kwaaaaah!
The ground where the sword was stuck exploded in the shape of a cross.
Choi Hyun-seok, who couldn’t avoid the aftermath, flew far away.
“Phew! This guy is so fierce.” “Are you still pretending to be relaxed?”
Korkan quickly closed the distance.
You can’t give them time to recover.
I was thinking of just pushing through and ending it.
Gatren Divine Sword
Type 6 – Punishment for Fanaticism
The fastest and most spectacular fighting technique in the Gatren Divine Sword.
This technique of pushing the opponent back continues with sword strikes from a minimum of five times to as many as several dozen times, depending on skill level.
It was a representative martial art in which the number of consecutive swings of the sword was considered a measure of the overall proficiency of the ‘Gatren Sacred Sword Technique’.
Kwaaaa!
Magical power surged from Korkan’s body, and the sword barrage began.
More than 5 strikes per second.
The sword strikes, too fast to follow with the eyes, doggedly pursued Choi Hyun-seok.
WHEEW! BOOM! CHAE-AENG!
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes sank low.
Observe the sword’s movements carefully with great concentration.
Dodge, block, and dodge again.
A series of processes were repeated at incredible speed.
The speed increased to the point where an afterimage appeared between the two.
‘this guy…’
Korkan bit his lip tightly.
His pupils were trembling slightly.
‘Avoiding everything…?’
They don’t even fight back.
Choi Hyun-seok only focuses on defense, dodging and blocking the sword.
‘How far do you think you can follow?’
Korkan’s movements become slightly faster.
Swaaaaaaah!
The wind swirled as the sword was swung.
31st strike. 32nd strike. 33rd strike.
In just a few seconds, more than thirty sword strikes followed.
Choi Hyun-seok dodged all the attacks on the spot.
At first, the sword grazed Choi Hyun-seok, but now it wasn’t even cutting through his collar.
‘Something’s strange… This can’t be happening!’
The shaking of the pupils becomes more severe.
The tip of the sword also shook in response.
However, the attacks did not stop.
47th hit. 48th hit. 49th hit.
Almost reached its limit.
The maximum swing that Korkan can make is 55 hits.
Originally, Choi Hyun-seok had expected to die before coming here, but the reality was completely different.
chin.
Choi Hyun-seok blocked Korkan’s attack.
He grabbed the wrist before the sword could be swung.
Korkan’s eyes opened wide, and Choi Hyun-seok smiled faintly.
“Is this the end? Then I’m disappointed.” “Wow, don’t be ridiculous!”
Korkan was shaking.
That’s understandable, as there are over 50 sword strikes.
A sword strike of terrifying speed that flew by in just a few seconds.
It wasn’t something I swung around haphazardly.
It was swung along the optimal path that had been modified and supplemented over the long history of the empire.
There is no doubt that this is the Gatren Divine Sword Technique, which is considered one of the most versatile and highly complete swordsmanship.
And yet, I can’t even brush past it.
Something is wrong with this.
“Now that I look at it, this is a total catching technique.”
“Okay, catching technique…!?”
Korkan gritted his teeth.
“Stop messing around! It’s just getting started!”
Korkan’s magic boils over again.
Gatren Divine Sword
Type 4 – Holy Steps
His body glowed white and afterimages spread out in all directions.
Numerous afterimages circle around Choi Hyun-seok, blurring his vision.
Gatren Divine Sword
Type 3 – Waves of Light
The remnants swung their swords simultaneously.
A horizontal slash that cuts sideways in a large sweep.
It was a ranged attack that attacked from all sides.
“If it flies horizontally, then it’s fake, right?”
Choi Hyun-seok dodged by turning his body upside down as if he was performing a stunt.
Korkan didn’t stop.
Gatren Divine Sword
Type 2 – Divine Ascension
He came closer without me noticing and swung his sword strongly upward from below.
A strong magical force is shot along the path.
Choi Hyun-seok dodged by spinning around while flipping his body over.
Gatren Divine Sword
Type 1 – Deity
The first speculative deity used.
It is a fighting technique that involves rushing forward and striking down the enemy.
This time, the attack came from behind Choi Hyun-seok, not from the front like before.
“Die!”
Choi Hyun-seok quickly twisted his body to avoid it.
The sword did graze my skin, but it was literally just a graze.
It was far from fatal.
“It’s a catching technique after all.”
“Yes, you will… until the end!”
Korkan glared at Choi Hyun-seok as if he was going to kill him.
I wanted to rip it to pieces right away, but I couldn’t.
‘Ma, magic power…’
How much speculation have you used in a short period of time?
Before I knew it, I had less than half of my magic power left.
A sudden surge of strength in a short period of time washed over me, and I felt helpless.
Because no matter what I do, my attacks don’t reach Choi Hyun-seok, my mentality is already shaken.
“hey.”
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok opened his mouth.
“But since you’ve seen a lot of different things, I’ll show you something good in return.”
“what…?”
“Real speculation learned from real people.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled and took a pose.
Korkan’s eyebrows furrow sharply.
‘That’s… Magi!’
Choi Hyun-seok is a magic user.
I forgot about it because I didn’t use my magic properly, let alone my magic, throughout the battle.
“Listen carefully.”
“…”
“The real thing is strong.”
The magical energy that was seething in Choi Hyun-seok’s body exploded in an instant.
Like a spring that has been stretched to its limit is released.
Choi Hyun-seok’s fist shot out like light.
Raidrun style fighting techniques
Type 1 – First Battle Destruction
The storm of magic is blowing away.
It can neither be avoided nor stopped.
Korkan did not move.
No, I couldn’t move.
No matter what you do, you won’t be able to avoid that huge storm.
‘This is like… a nightmare…’
It was such a horrible nightmare.
