Episode 159
Choi Hyun-seok, who was staggering, knelt on the floor.
He raised his head and checked the spot where the speculation had passed, then swore.
“f*ck…”
Kiaran was alive.
The final blow that risked everything went astray.
“Hero! Are you okay!?” “I can’t move…”
I can’t move my body.
Even though he still had about half of his magical power and magic left, his body was reaching its limit.
This is because too much output was used at once.
Generally, when using speculation, use about 3% of your total horsepower.
But Choi Hyun-seok hit half of them.
That too, in a state where magic and magical power were forcibly fused together.
My body and mind can’t handle it.
My head felt like it was going blank and every blood vessel in my body felt like it was bursting.
If not treated immediately, life will end in no time.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok! Come to your senses!”
“Kwakwang!”
Abelson and Bobo’s voices are heard.
They came running to save him.
“I have to fight too…”
A battle broke out.
Rachel kept casting spells.
Abelson used magic to protect Choi Hyun-seok while swinging his mace to stop the enemy.
“Kwaang!”
As expected, the one who showed the best performance was Bobo.
They attacked using all sorts of means, including swinging their forelegs, chewing and swallowing, and striking with their tails.
Since there were enemies on all sides anyway, if I swung my sword, I would just get hit.
However, despite everyone’s efforts, the situation was very unfavorable.
‘If things continue like this… it’s the end.’
The enemy was strong and overwhelmingly numerous.
Gradually, wounds began to appear on the group’s bodies.
It was visibly evident that he was quickly growing tired from dealing with so many people.
“Ugh…!”
Abelson groaned as he was stabbed by the sword.
At the same time, the protective magic that protected Choi Hyun-seok disappears.
“Mr. Abelson!”
“I’m okay! Rest easy!”
“Ugh…!”
Choi Hyun-seok clenched his fist.
We can’t give up here.
We have to fight somehow.
“Kkaaaah-!”
Choi Hyun-seok stood up, cursing.
My legs are shaking because I have no strength in them.
The swinging fist felt heavy like wet cotton.
Still, we must fight.
If that doesn’t work, fight by biting the enemy with your teeth.
“Eww!”
The momentum was good, but fighting isn’t something you can do with just spirit.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was already covered in wounds, could not fight properly.
Squeak-!
The sword that I couldn’t dodge in time cuts through my skin.
Pfft!
A sharp spear pierced his leg, causing blood to spurt out.
Kwajik!
The blunt object hit his shoulder.
Choi Hyun-seok was being mutilated alive.
Rachel looked at him with tears in her eyes.
“Profit…! Get away from the warrior!”
At that moment, the enemies suddenly began to retreat.
“Ugh…?”
Rachel looked around in confusion.
Not only the enemies around them, but all the enemies were retreating.
They gathered near Kiaran and began to regroup.
I don’t know what happened, but I bought some time.
The group gathered around Choi Hyun-seok.
“Eww! You’re a warrior!” “Mr. Choi Hyun-seok! Are you okay!?”

“yes…”
“I will treat you now.” “Mr. Abelson before me…”
Abelson was also covered in wounds.
The clothes he was wearing were torn and soaked in blood, to the point where it was embarrassing to even call them clothes.
“No, I’m fine.”
However, she poured out her divine power to cure Choi Hyun-seok.
“Suddenly… why did those guys… retreat…”
“Don’t talk.”
Choi Hyun-seok forced his heavy eyelids up.
The masked men were seen gathering together in a large formation, gathering their magical power.
I don’t know for sure, but it seemed like they were preparing some kind of large-scale magic.
‘What? Are you trying to finish us off? But, there’s no need to do it like that…’
If the battle had continued a little longer, the party would not have been able to hold out.
There is no need to go through all that trouble.
‘By the way, it’s hot…’
Choi Hyun-seok suddenly felt hot.
Come to think of it, the surroundings are unusually bright.
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
“What is that…?”
Since when has this been happening?
A giant fireball was falling from the sky.
The fireball that was slowly approaching soon collided with the barrier.
Kwakwagagagagag…!
The ground shook with a strange noise.
A brief struggle ensues.
Chae Ae Aeng-!
The barrier shattered and the fireball fell again.
It was the direction where the enemies were gathered.
At that moment, the magic of the warriors forming a large formation was completed.
A gigantic magic created by hundreds of octagonal defensive shields.
There was a loud noise as it collided with the fireball.
Kwaaaaah-!
In the end, the two magics that had exhausted their power disappeared at the same time.
“What’s going on…?”
Choi Hyun-seok was dumbfounded.
I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on.
“Hey. Long time no see.”
Then a familiar voice was heard.
When he looked back, he saw a woman looking down at him, Park Hyun-ah.
“Okay, Commander…?”
“When did that brat fold up his legion business?”
Park Hyun-ah smiled faintly.
“Call me sister.”
***
Kiaran’s eyes shook wildly.
His condition was panic itself.
‘Park Hyun-ah… Why is Park Hyun-ah here?’
A few years ago, a warrior who single-handedly turned the Holy Empire of Gatren upside down.
Even after many years, Park Hyun-ah remains the number one priority for elimination.
When Park Hyun-ah fled to the Demon King’s army, the war of nerves between the Pope and the Demon King intensified and the secret pact that had lasted for over a hundred years was on the verge of breaking.
To that extent, Park Hyun-ah’s presence was huge.
‘Why is a girl who should be stuck in the Demon King’s Army here!? Why on earth!?’
No matter how much you struggle, reality won’t change.
Anyone who saw it could tell that what was in front of them was Park Hyun-ah.
Kiaran took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.
‘We must run away. No matter how many warriors gather, we cannot defeat Park Hyun-ah.’
When looking at individual strength alone, the commanders of the Demon King’s army are usually considered to be one level above human legends.
Park Hyun-ah is the person who rose to become the commander of the Demon King’s Army.
That means it is stronger than some legends.
No matter how many great forces are gathered here, they will be no match for us.
A legend is something outside the norm.
You either have to drag them into a battlefield where you’ve made full preparations, or you have no choice but to face them as fellow legends.
“Damn it! You’re throwing ashes on rice that’s already been cooked!”
Kiaran shouted, unable to control her anger at having to let go of Choi Hyun-seok, whom she had caught.
At that moment, Park Hyun-ah looked back at him.
“There, you crippled leg.”
“…”
“Stay still. I have a lot to ask you.”
Kiaran’s breathing became ragged again.
He screamed as if he was having a seizure.
“Hit! Hit! I’m telling you to buy time somehow!”
The warriors run out.
Meanwhile, Kiaran began to run away with the support of the remaining warriors.
‘Just survive. This isn’t my fault anyway. It’s a natural disaster! Even the Pope will forgive me. Just survive…!’
As I was absentmindedly thinking, I heard an explosion from behind.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The ground shakes and strong winds blow in the aftermath of the explosion.
“Eww!”
Kiaran and the warriors rolled around on the ground in a pitiful state.
Kiaran, who had barely managed to pull himself together and turned around, couldn’t help but be surprised.
A huge crater with a diameter of a hundred meters was visible on the ground.
“What is that…”
The warriors inside that crater would have disappeared without leaving even a trace.
“Ugh! My body is still a bit loose, but I guess I should move anyway.”
Park Hyun-ah stretched once and drew her sword.
And then the massacre happened.
Choaaaak!
Dozens of body parts, such as arms and legs, fly in the sky.
Blood spurted from the cut surface, wetting the area.
Park Hyun-ah’s movements were so fast that I couldn’t even see them properly.
All I could guess was that she swung her sword in a slaughterhouse that would put a slasher movie to shame.
Kiaran stared blankly at the blood and flesh that splattered about.
I realized that I couldn’t run away anymore.
Before we had time to have a cup of tea, all the warriors were dead.
“Hey! These guys are total event mobs (MOBs)! Why do they give so much experience?”
Park Hyun-ah smiled brightly.
It was quite exciting to level up after such a long time.
“I guess we’ve finished tidying up the surroundings. Should we start talking?”
Park Hyun-ah kills all of his subordinates and approaches him.
Looking at her, Kiaran bit the medicine he had hidden in his mouth.
Crack-!
As the medicine breaks down, the spell engraved in his body is activated.
“Park Hyun-ah…”
“Hey hey! What are you doing!? No!”
Park Hyun-ah ran in a hurry and casted a healing spell, but it was already too late.
Once the spell was activated, it could not be stopped.
“First, go and… wait…”
Kiaran lowered his head.
My heart has completely stopped.
“Ha, this is why I hate those Gatren brats.”
Park Hyun-ah scratched her head nervously.
She hated all vested interests of humanity, but she had a reason to hate Gatren in particular.
***
Park Hyun-ah used teleportation magic to move the group.
The place we arrived at was a log cabin located on an unknown mountain.
This was one of the safe houses she used during her time fighting the Empire.
“Phew… thank you.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who recovered thanks to Abelson’s treatment, bent his back 90 degrees.
“Thanks to you, I survived.”
Park Hyun-ah waved her hand as if to tell her not to worry.
“That’s enough greetings. I also lived thanks to you. We exchanged greetings every once in a while.”
“yes?”
“I told you, watch your head and your feet.”
Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes wide.
To be honest, I completely forgot about it after that.
As she spoke, it was only then that I remembered communicating with Raidrun after the necromancy incident.
“It turned out those guys were preparing to marinate me. But thanks to you telling me, I was able to quickly put the plan into action.”
A plan to capture Park Hyeon-a was being prepared within the 4th Army Corps headquarters.
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok announced the crisis through Raid Run.
The enemy, who had been eavesdropping on the communication, had no choice but to hastily carry out the unfinished plan.
“If I had been just a little bit later, I would have been completely trapped.”
If Choi Hyun-seok hadn’t told me.
So, if time had passed and the plan had been fully completed, Park Hyun-ah would have been defeated without even being able to put up a proper resistance.
“Wait a minute. Then isn’t that putting you in danger too, Raidrun!?”
“What are you talking about?”
“If they had been eavesdropping on the communication, wouldn’t they have heard your voice too?”
Anyway, it was Raidrun who relayed Choi Hyun-seok’s words to Park Hyun-ah.
He might even hack Raidrun for interfering with his plans.
However, Park Hyun-ah’s reaction was indifferent.
“Even if you know, what can you do?”
“yes?”
“What crime are you going to charge against Sodaegari?” “I’ll do it somehow…”
Park Hyun-ah clicked her tongue.
“Don’t you know? The one who was messing around in the first place was the Demon King. After all, I was the official commander. The Demon King was trying to hit the back of the head of the commander. If this gets out, it’ll be the Demon King who’ll be in trouble, right?” “But… wouldn’t it be a problem if Lord Raidran found out that I was talking to him?” “This kid is secretly overly self-conscious.”
Park Hyun-ah smiled faintly.
“Hey. You’re just a deserter. Nothing more, nothing less.”
“…”
“It’s not like we’re colluding with the enemy, and what can we do if the division commander just contacts a single deserter?”
“ah…”
After being chased for so long, he naturally assumed that the Demon King’s army would chase him as well.
In fact, no one is interested in Choi Hyun-seok right now except for the Holy Empire.
“And the cow head back is nice.”
“What is Baek…?”
“They say he has a strong back. The commander of the 5th Corps, Ozges, is also a platoon leader. He was probably my uncle? Anyway, the two are very close.”
“aha.”
The 5th Corps Commander and Raidrun were relatives.
That was something I didn’t know.
“Anyway, you don’t have to worry about the little head. There’s already a power vacuum left by the departure of that snout bitch and me. There’s no way the Demon King would cause any more trouble at a time like this, so he’ll just quietly cover it up.”
In fact, Park Hyun-ah, who is speaking so calmly now, also had similar worries as Choi Hyun-seok.
Before she left the 8th Division where Raidrun was.
When I was worried that something might go wrong with protecting myself, I copied exactly what Raidrun had said.
“Enough with the story about the cow head.”
Park Hyun-ah took out a cigarette and lit it.
“How have you been? It seems like there are still incidents going on wherever you go.” “I guess this story will be a bit long. Is that okay?” “Speak comfortably. All I have left now is time.”
“All right.”
Choi Hyun-seok explained in detail what had happened.
The story of Abelson and his involvement with the Holy Empire Gatren.
Leaving the Demon King’s Army and witnessing the necromancy.
From brainwashing warriors in Gatren to creating an army.
As I explained each step of my journey, quite some time passed.
“Hmm, have I been stuck in here for too long…”
Park Hyun-ah nodded after hearing the whole story.
“If those guys were warriors earlier, then that project must be nearing its final stages. They’ve been doing that for a long time.”
“Was it so?”
“Oh. It was before I fought Gatren, but those guys were trying to trick me into doing that.” “So what did you do?” “I noticed it right away and tricked you.”
“ah…”
In a way, you could say that that incident was the turning point when the relationship between Park Hyun-ah and the Holy Empire really started to sour.
“Anyway, this repays my debt to you.”
Park Hyun-ah stood up from her seat.
Choi Hyun-seok was flustered at the sight of her trying to leave and called out to her.
“That… Ms. Park Hyun-ah…?” “This kid is going to fall for me. I told him to call me older sister.” “I look older than you.” “Honey. I’ve been rolling around in this f*cking land for at least fifteen years.” “… Let’s compromise and call me older sister.” “Come on, whatever.”
My older sister looked a bit old, which didn’t seem very nice, but I didn’t really think there was anything wrong with her, so I just let it be.
Although she appeared to be in her mid-20s, she was actually much older.
“Excuse me, Sister. Can I ask you a favor?”
“What favor?”
Choi Hyun-seok swallowed once and continued speaking.
“Will you be my teacher?”
“huh?”
Park Hyun-ah showed a puzzled expression for the first time.
