Episode 161
Demon King’s Army Temporary Corps Commander Meeting.
Demon King Tegrad and the three legion commanders gathered.
1st Corps Commander Dorritugs.
4th Corps Commander Onyx.
Ozges, commander of the 5th Army Corps.
The previous 4th Corps Commander was Park Hyun-ah, but after she left, Onyx, who had been the deputy corps commander, took back the position.
The positions of the 2nd and 3rd Corps Commanders, which had been occupied by the dead Rotak and Hemis, were still vacant.
“The reason we have called this meeting today is to begin an all-out attack.”
The Demon King Tegrad said.
A declaration of all-out attack without warning.
First Corps Commander Dorritugs looked back at the Demon King with his arms folded.
“Is this the full-scale attack I understand? The entire Demon King’s army is moving.” “Yes. They plan to annihilate humans.” “I object. The Demon King’s army is currently in an unprecedented state of weakness.”
The commander of the 5th Army Corps, Ozges, intervened.
“There are two vacant legion commanders, one of whom is Hemis. It is an obvious fact that Hemis holds a significant stake in the Demon King’s military power.”
“…”
“I dare say that in this situation, an all-out attack is deemed unreasonable.”
Dorritugs nodded at Ozges’s words.
Even though he was the arrogant commander of the 1st Corps, he acknowledged Hemis’ strength.
When the all-out attack begins, the human legends that have been hidden for so long will crawl out.
It was too much of an adventure to face them without Hemis.
‘Maybe they’ve already started working.’
I have already received reports that some legends have begun to stir.
The original legend doesn’t reveal much about them, but Hemis’ influence was largely responsible for their complete disappearance over the past hundred years.
With such a Hemis dead, it was only natural that the frequency of legends appearing would increase.
‘I’ve been feeling this way for a while now, but I feel like I’m not in my right mind. Am I getting senile as I get older?’
Even if we focus on defense right now, it’s not enough, so why are we launching an all-out attack?
Dorritugs couldn’t help but doubt the Demon King’s mental state.
At that time, the 4th Corps Commander Onyx opened his mouth.
“It is not true that there is a power vacuum.” “What do you mean?” “It is necromancy. Rotak and I have been preparing to use necromancy throughout the continent for a long time.”
Ozges frowned at the word necromancy.
“Necromancy is taboo. You should know better than anyone why we avoid it, Onyx.” “Necromancy is taboo? Who decided that? I’ve never heard of it before.” “Are you kidding me?” “How long are you going to keep your old-fashioned taboo on necromancy?”
Onyx’s hood was pulled down so that his face could not be seen.
One could tell that he was in a bad mood by the even more subdued voice.
“Ozges. As you said, the Demon King’s army is currently weak. There is no way to know when the vacant position of the legion commander will be filled.”
“…”
“Before you start babbling about how necromancy is taboo, how about we first come up with a way to fill the power vacuum?”
Ozges clenched his fist.
Even if I wanted to refute, I have nothing to say.
This was because there was no immediate plan to fill the power vacuum at the corps commander level.
Moreover, Ozges does not know exactly why necromancy is taboo.
Long ago, I heard from the older generations that necromancy was a dangerous and dishonorable power.
I didn’t hear the detailed reason.
This is the demon of this era
It was the same for everyone.
A power that has been naturally avoided since it was taboo in the past.
‘There must be a reason why the previous generations avoided the practice of necromancy. No matter how urgent the situation, it is not right to use that forbidden power.’
Ozges looked at the Demon King Tegrad.
“Have you already given your permission, His Majesty?” “I didn’t tell you in advance because I thought there would be opposition like this.”
Ozges shut his mouth tightly at the Demon King’s words.
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, he opened his mouth again.
“… I understand the reason. However, I think that an all-out attack is a bit hasty.” “The humans have noticed the necromancy and are preparing for it. If we delay any longer, the operation that has been prepared for decades will be abandoned before it can even begin.”
“…”
“This is your first and last chance to eliminate humanity. Ozges.”
Ozges sighed.
The flow was already beyond his control.
“All right.”
“Good, Doritugs. What do you think?”
When Ozges agreed, the Demon King asked the First Corps Commander, Dorritugs.
“I had nothing to be afraid of in the first place. Rather, I am looking forward to the opportunity to eliminate humans.” “It’s been decided. We will begin an all-out attack now.”
Demon King Tegrad smiled for the first time.
His eyes were flashing with a strange madness, a mixture of emotions.
“Destroy the humans.”
***
This is the Nemo Sheet.
This is the region where the Demon Tribe first appeared on the continent.
Naturally, it was the main stronghold of the early demon tribe, but now, after a long time, only demons remain as residents.
“Kuaaaah!”

“Kyaaaaak!”
Humans and Demons
A land abandoned by everyone.
The remaining demons killed each other.
Demon kills demon.
A stronger demon dies to a stronger demon.
This place, which was originally rich in magic energy, became an area abnormally rich in magic energy as demons continued to die.
It is said that there are still many undiscovered demons living in the depths of Inemosit, and that new demons are continuously being born.
“Please! Get out!”
Choi Hyun-seok screamed.
His forearms were bulging with angry muscle and veins.
“Clara!”
“Eww!”
The mouth of the devil that was trying to swallow Choi Hyun-seok is gradually being torn apart.
Kkwaddeuk… swoosh!
Finally, the mouth is completely torn open.
Masu and Choi Hyeon-seok collapsed at the same time.
“Ugh, ugh…”
My breathing is ragged due to the intense fighting.
At that moment, an alarm rang in my ear.
[Level up!]
Choi Hyun-seok, who had completely confirmed his victory, lay down on the floor.
“f*ck… I really can’t eat this.”
It’s been a week since I joined Inemosit.
Choi Hyun-seok devoted himself to battle without even being able to sleep properly.
It was all because of Park Hyun-ah.
“Right now, the best thing you can do is level up by working hard without any knowledge.”
“yes?”
“I just told him to roll around like crazy.”
Suddenly, he throws me into the Inemosit and tells me to survive on my own.
After that, I never saw Abelson, not even Bobo.
His only companion was a dedicated fairy who only knew how to talk.
“Congratulations, warrior! Your level is rising so quickly!” “Haa, it’s nice to level up, but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do.”
Choi Hyun-seok let out a grumbling voice.
Then Rachel opened her eyes wide and retorted.
“What are you talking about!? You’ve leveled up 30 times in a week! How hard is it to grow like this at your current level!” “But still. Is leveling up like this the right way?”
Choi Hyun-seok was worried.
It’s true that you get stronger as you level up.
But is that enough?
‘There are more than one or two things to do.’
The biggest concern is speculation.
None of the speculative weapons currently used by Choi Hyun-seok were properly completed.
Although Flomot’s proficiency is high and he can use it up to stage 3, it is the final secret technique.
The usual Raidrun-style fighting techniques and Nobilis were still in an unfinished state.
‘I heard that there are 10 types of Raidrun-style fighting techniques.’
There are ten types of ‘Raidrun Martial Arts’, the most fundamental technique.
Among them, there are seven types that Choi Hyun-seok can use.
Types 8, 9, and 10 only saw Raidrun demonstrate.
‘The types that can be used are still lacking in proficiency except for a few main ones.’
Even the Raidrun-style fighting techniques that were relatively good were like this, and in the case of Nobilis, it was even worse.
There are only three types available.
The rest of the types were never even created.
‘Aside from that, I haven’t learned any of the Raidrun-style martial arts or the martial arts that change your body with magic.’
As a result, all speculations except for the plomot are either incomplete or of low skill.
The most difficult plomot has a high degree of completion.
It was ironic.
“And that technique you used at the end… I realized something while using it.”
“What do you mean?”
“You know, the one where you poured everything out in one room?” “Ah! That damned strong super-destroyer!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel recalled their battle with Kiaran a few days ago.
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok combined his magical power and magic energy to use the Raidrun style of fighting, producing tremendous power.
“Combining magic and magical power. This is the direction I must take from now on.” “That’s incredibly difficult.”
“yes.”
The problem is that this is too difficult.
Combining magic and magical energy is extremely difficult and requires extreme mental power.
Because of this, it is impossible to properly use that power without Nobilis.
Choi Hyun-seok always wondered how to solve this problem, but the answer was surprisingly simple.
“So, what I’m saying is, wouldn’t it be better to save it from the beginning as a combination of magic and magical energy?”
“Is that possible?”
“You don’t know until you try.”
In the first place, magical power and magical energy are stored in the body as one power.
Then, the complex conversion process disappears, so you can exert your power much more comfortably.
I didn’t know if it would be possible, but it was worth a try.
“There’s so much to do, but don’t you feel frustrated when you can’t sleep and just hunt all day?”
Honestly, I expected that if Park Hyun-ah became my teacher, I would be able to learn various things.
However, the reality was quite the opposite.
It’s been a week since I came to Inemosit.
I learned nothing from Park Hyun-ah.
It’s only natural since I haven’t even seen your face except for the first day.
“I need to find a place like a hideout and train separately.”
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok was planning the future direction of his training.
A voice came from above my head.
“What a mess.” “Oh, you’re here…?”
When I looked up, I saw Park Hyun-ah looking down with her arms crossed.
She came down from the air with a very frowning face.
“What is that kid who can’t even use his strength properly with his paper-thin body? Speculation? Skill? Just take a shit, kid.”
Choi Hyun-seok kept his mouth shut at Park Hyun-ah’s blunt words.
“I heard that our great warrior with SSS-class potential doesn’t like my methods right now.” “T-That’s not it…” “No, it’s not like that. His dissatisfaction is through the roof.”
Choi Hyun-seok rolled his eyes around with his mouth closed.
‘You’re not a pervert, so why are you eavesdropping on that…?’
I didn’t even feel its presence, so how long has it been there?
Maybe I was just watching the whole time.
“Okay, now I’ll tell you why you need to clean up and level up.”
Park Hyun-ah raised her hand and wiggled it.
“Come at it.”
“yes?”
“Come at me.”
“How could I…”
“Okay! Okay, then use whatever you have, speculation or whatever, and come at me, you punk.”
“… All right.”
Choi Hyun-seok clenched his teeth.
Since I was the one who ordered it, I am not responsible.
‘Surely you wouldn’t kill me for complaining.’
He uses his magic and magical energy to kick the ground.
Nobilis
Type 1 – The King’s Walk
Choi Hyun-seok accelerated with a purple afterimage.
I circled around her to blur her vision.
It was a flashy move, but Park Hyun-ah’s reaction was cynical.
“You are being so annoying.”
Choi Hyun-seok attacked Park Hyun-ah, who was standing still in that spot.
Nobilis
Type 2 – Expression of Respect
A sudden blow with a fake throwing a punch.
Choi Hyun-seok’s leg kick hit Park Hyun-ah’s leg straight in the eye.
Quaaa!
Choi Hyun-seok, who was about to continue his attacks with purple flashes, stopped.
‘What are you thinking?’
Park Hyun-ah didn’t move.
He just took the attack without even defending himself.
However, there was another reason that really stopped Choi Hyun-seok.
‘Why are you so fine!?’
Even though speculation has entered full swing, it does not budge at all.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was nearby, could tell.
Park Hyun-ah didn’t even use her magic to defend herself just now.
Just stand there and get attacked with your bare body.
“Is the massage finished?”
“…”
“You take one too.”
Park Hyun-ah also threw a leg kick.
Choi Hyun-seok instantly surrounded himself with magical powers to brace himself for the impact.
Crunch…!
A pain so severe that it feels like my knees are going to break comes rushing in.
‘What the heck! What power…!’
It’s not speculation.
I didn’t even use magic power.
This much power was put into an attack that was launched purely with physical ability.
“Do you think you know why you need to level up now?”
Park Hyun-ah said calmly.
“I know what you’re thinking. You’ve only ever fought against guys stronger than you, and each time you’ve won because you had the technical advantage over them, rather than physical strength.”
“…”
“However, no matter how excellent your skills are, they mean nothing in the face of overwhelming physical specs.”
Park Hyun-ah raised her hand and pointed to Choi Hyun-seok’s chest.
“No matter how much you fly and crawl, do you think you can defeat a combat power of 300,000 or 400,000? There’s no way. Inma.”
It hit me harder because I experienced it firsthand.
As she said, nothing means anything in the face of overwhelming specs.
Even flashy techniques are only effective when the attack hits to a certain extent.
What good is skill if no matter how much you hit it, it doesn’t even get scratched?
“You have the best conditions for leveling up right now. So, first, get to level 1,000. Then, you can learn skills.”
Choi Hyun-seok was surprised at the mention of level 1,000.
“Can you upload it like that?” “Soon. Looking at what you’re doing, I think you’ll be able to do it in less than a year at the longest.”
“A year…”
“If you understand, then roll. If you’re going to do it, you might as well put in all your blood, sweat, and tears while also increasing your additional abilities.”
“yep!”
Choi Hyun-seok answered forcefully.
After hearing her explanation, I thought it would be better to just focus on leveling up for a while.
‘Let’s rest a bit and then hunt again.’
I just finished hunting.
I was thinking that I needed some rest and would continue hunting a little later after Park Hyun-ah left.
“Oh, just a moment.”
Park Hyun-ah came closer.
She came right up to his nose and reached out her hand to Choi Hyun-seok’s chest.
“Stay still and don’t move.” “If you suddenly do this, I’m not mentally prepared yet…” “What is that crazy kid saying?”
The magical power that escaped from Park Hyun-ah’s hand was engraved into Choi Hyun-seok’s chest and body.
“It’s a magic circle that attracts demons. It’ll take about five hours.”
“…”
“You won’t be able to erase it anyway, but there’s a dedicated fairy inside.”
At Park Hyun-ah’s call, Rachel, who had been hiding in Choi Hyun-seok’s arms, peeked her head out.
“yes…?”
“If you erase this, you’ll be forgotten.” “Oh my! No way! Thank you so much for always taking care of our warrior! Loyalty, loyalty!”
Park Hyun-ah snickered at Rachel’s father-in-law and turned around.
“Then hit me.”
With those words she disappeared.
Soon a growling sound began to be heard from one side of the forest.
“Kurrrr…!”
Not one or two. At least five.
Choi Hyun-seok sighed and wiped his face.
“What good will it do if you just rest a little…!”
