Episode 162
Another month has passed.
During this time, Choi Hyun-seok perfectly adapted to life in the primitive era.
His beard is bushy and his unkempt hair flies wildly.
Rachel’s magic helped keep her clean, but that was it.
The clothes made by roughly weaving together the skins of demons were no different from those of ancient primitive people who lived a hunting life.
“Hero! What level are you now!?”
“Eight hundred and twenty-one.”
“Wow! It’s gone up a lot!”
Before we knew it, Choi Hyun-seok’s level had passed 800.
Before coming to Inemosit, I was level 740, so I went up 80 levels in just 6 weeks.
That’s why I had hopes of reaching level 1000 even half a year before Park Hyun-ah mentioned it.
‘That’s ridiculous.’
Recently, the leveling speed has started to decrease rapidly.
It seems like it will be difficult to reach level 1000 in a short period of time.
As expected, nothing in this world is easy.
“Hero! What if I become so strong that I defeat the Demon King in an instant!?” “When that happens, we’ll just abandon the dog and the witch and go for the macaron.
“Let’s go on a trip!” “I’ve been thinking lately, what if I were born as a human… .”
Rachel was really chattery and nonstop.
For over a month.
Why do you have so much to say…
At first it was annoying, but now I think it’s better because it’s not so lonely.
It felt like listening to a high-energy radio broadcast, so it had its own unique flavor.
“Hero!”
Rachel called Choi Hyun-seok again today without fail.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was lying on the floor, slowly opened his eyes.
“why.”
“I just called you. Hehe.” “If you call me for something useless one more time, I’ll hang you upside down in the middle of a bunch of Riarks.”
Choi Hyun-seok closed his eyes again.
We’ve been fighting for nearly ten hours already.
I was just about to rest with my tired body, but I couldn’t speak nicely because you bothered me.
Just as he was about to fall asleep.
“Hero, hero, hero!”
Choi Hyun-seok jumped up and grabbed Rachel.
“You thought I was joking? Huh? I’m the kind of person who will do whatever I say. I’ll go every dollar right now. Just wait.” “No, that’s not it! Let me say something…” “Our customer! You chose the Riak Belly Tour Package! It’s an excellent choice!”
Madness flowed from Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes.
I wasn’t in my right mind after being stuck in extreme combat situations for over a month.
He laughed heartily as he tied Rachel with the tendons of his hand.
“But you’re blonde and beautiful, so Riak will like you too.”
At that moment, Rachel’s journey in Liak’s womb was about to begin.
“Oh my god, that crazy kid.”
A familiar voice was heard at the entrance to the hideout.
When I looked back, Park Hyun-ah was standing in an awkward posture.
“Ah… when did you come?” “Since the time you rolled your eyes and tried to kill that fairy?”
“…”
“Okay, follow me. I have something to tell you.”
“yep.”
Choi Hyun-seok jumped up and followed Park Hyun-ah.
No matter how crazy he was, he was a regular soldier who thoroughly followed the principle engraved in his bones.
Rachel, still tied up, ran after him, jumping up and down.
“Ah, warrior! Let me go! Take me too!”
***
When I came out, Abelson and Bobo were waiting for me.
Choi Hyun-seok met Abelson’s eyes and his eyes welled up with tears.
“Mr. Abelson…”
After a month of fighting with demons, I felt like my heart was at peace when I met a beautiful woman.
‘I didn’t know how precious air was…’
When you get used to something, you tend to forget to be grateful.
When Abelson was always by my side, it was just okay, but when he was gone, I realized how much comfort it was to travel with a beautiful woman.
“It’s been a long time!” “It’s been a long time, too, Mr. Choi Hyun-seok.” “How have you been? I’ve been… for a whole month.”
“Wow!”
“Yeah, yeah. I missed you too, Bobo.”
Bobo ran up to me in the middle of the conversation.
Bobo, whom I met after a long time, seemed to have grown bigger than before, and the magic flowing out of him had also become thicker.
“I’ll stop the useless greetings later. I don’t have time, so just concentrate and listen.”
Park Hyun-ah said.
Then, Choi Hyun-seok and Abelson suddenly fell apart and took up the correct posture.
Even Bobo sat on the floor with his butt pressed against the wall, waiting for Park Hyun-ah to speak.

“Something came up, so I’ll be out for a bit. Not for long, maybe two days?”
“Where are you going?”
“Even if I tell you, you won’t know.”
“yep.”
“Until I get back, the three of you move together. It’s not the center, but this is Inemosit anyway. You never know what might happen, so don’t let your guard down.”
Park Hyun-ah played a big role in the group’s relative safety while hunting.
She blocked strong enemies in advance, and if they really looked like they were going to die, she stepped in and saved them.
Sometimes, when he looked free, he would deliberately corner him and harass him.
Anyway, Park Hyun-ah, who had been protecting and raising the group for a while, was worried when they were about to leave.
‘They’ve grown quite a bit in the meantime, so it’ll be okay if the three of them stick together.’
After looking at Choi Hyun-seok, Abelson, and Bobo one by one, Park Hyun-ah turned around and waved.
“Then let’s go. Don’t be lazy when I’m not here, and level up.”
“yes!”
With those words, Park Hyun-ah disappeared.
At the same time, Choi Hyun-seok spread his arms and cheered.
“Freedom! Freedom!”
At that moment, I felt a strong shock on the back of my head.
“You little brat. I told you to be on your toes.”
“…”
“I’m really going. I’m always nervous.”
“yep.”
Park Hyun-ah really left.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was about to spread his arms and cheer again, glanced around.
“Okay…”
Somehow I had a strong feeling that I shouldn’t do it.
Afterwards, the group lightly shared in Hae-woo’s joy.
We talked about what had happened, but Choi Hyun-seok didn’t really have anything to say because all he had experienced was a fierce battle.
But Abelson was different.
“Huh!? Is that true?” “Yes. He taught me a lot of things.”
Unlike Choi Hyun-seok, who was left to fend for himself for a month, Abelson received one-on-one tutoring.
‘Come to think of it, your clothes are different too…’
Unlike Choi Hyun-seok, who looked like a primitive man, Abelson was very neat.
A pretty, clean appearance with neat hair.
When they were together, there was no difference between Beauty and the Beast.
“Oh, these clothes were given to me by Park Hyun-ah. They fit me well since we have similar builds.”
“I see.”
Contrary to his indifferent voice, Choi Hyun-seok’s lips were slightly protruding.
“Anyway, what specifically did you learn?”
Park Hyun-ah is a legendary strength.
I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of education Park Hyun-ah received.
“From general knowledge about combat to using the body, how to handle divine powers, and even offensive magic. It was really comprehensive.”
“Ugh…”
“It’s not just wide, it’s also incredibly deep. Especially when it comes to divine power and magic, I’m always amazed every time I hear about it…”
Abelson spent some time raving about how excellent Park Hyun-ah’s education was.
Thanks to that, Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth protruded a little more.
“… Thanks to that, I feel like I’ve become stronger, even if it’s only for a short period of time.” “It definitely feels different.”
Abelson’s demeanor was different.
A sharper and more refined feel than before.
Divine power also became more vast and deep.
Choi Hyun-seok stroked his chin and pondered Abelson’s changes.
‘It seems like it hasn’t been that long since you last grew up.’
Abelson had awakened to save Choi Hyun-seok in the previous necromancy incident.
At that time, he had defeated the legendary Lopar Dozer who had become an undead and his divine power had grown greatly, but now it seemed to have become even stronger than before.
“Mr. Abelson. May I check your combat power?” “Yes. I’m curious, too.”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Abelson while wearing a combat power meter.
The results were shocking.
[ Combat Power: 132,430 ]
Choi Hyun-seok blinked his eyes repeatedly.
‘It’s strange. Why is it so high?’
Either the combat power meter is broken, or your memory is faulty.
One of the two was clear.
“Mr. Abelson, what was the combat power when you last measured it?” “I think it was about seventy-eight thousand.”
“…”
“Why are you doing that?”
“No. Haha…!”
Abelson tilted his head.
Her hair, which had returned to its original silver color, falls downwards.
“What is my combat power?” “One hundred and thirty thousand.” “It’s gone up quite a bit.”
“Quite. Quite…”
In a short period of time, my combat power nearly doubled. That’s pretty good.
Choi Hyun-seok held his stomach, which was starting to hurt.
His lips protruded a little more.
“While we’re at it, should we also take a look at Choi Hyun-seok?” “Yes… please.”
Abelson received the combat power meter and put it on.
Choi Hyun-seok waited for the results with a nervous expression.
“It came out high.”
“Oh, how much did you get!?”
Abelson read out the numbers on the meter.
“Ten thousand.”
“yes?”
“It’s one hundred and forty-seven thousand twenty-eight, to be exact.”
[ Combat Power: 140,728 ]
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a trembling expression.
‘It definitely went up a lot…’
The original combat power was 110,000, so it increased by a whopping 30,000 in a short period of time.
It is certainly a great growth, but…
Having just seen Abelson’s incredible growth, I couldn’t help but feel like something was missing.
“While we’re at it, should we also check Bobo?” “Bobo will probably be unmeasurable anyway.”
Choi Hyun-seok, whose lips were protruding, spoke in a calm voice.
Bobo’s last measured combat power was 190,000 units.
Since the measuring device that Choi Hyun-seok had could measure up to 200,000, there was a high probability that it would not be able to measure.
[ Combat power: Unmeasurable ]
“That’s right.”
After checking Bobo’s fighting power, Abelson returned the measuring device.
Choi Hyun-seok made a promise as he put the measuring device in his bosom.
‘You said you would be my teacher in the first place, but you only educated Mr. Abelson… I’ll have to take this up with you when I get back!’
Park Hyun-ah neglected her official(?) disciple and only educated Abelson.
Even Bobo seemed to have received better care than she did.
‘This is clearly dereliction of duty as a teacher!’
Choi Hyun-seok vowed that this time he would never back down.
***
Somewhere on the continent, deep in the mountains, untouched by human hands.
There was a log cabin standing alone in the middle of the forest.
Park Hyun-ah, who arrived in front of him, opened the door familiarly and went in.
Squeak-
A crudely made hinge squeaks.
When I went inside, there was a woman sitting on a chair.
The woman looked back at Park Hyun-ah and smiled.
“It’s been a while. Thank you for coming.” “Sullivan. It’s been six years since I last saw you.” “Yes. That must have been about that long.”
The woman named Sullivan nodded and continued.
“I heard that you came out of the Demon King’s Army.”
“You found out quickly.”
“After all, information from the Demon King’s army is bound to be late.”
Despite Park Hyun-ah’s somewhat aggressive tone, Sullivan smiled brightly throughout.
“So. Why did you call me all of a sudden?” “I wanted to ask for your help.”
“help?”
“The continent is in danger because of necromancy.”
Park Hyun-ah’s eyebrows twitched at the word ‘sorcery’.
She also heard about the necromancy from Choi Hyun-seok and was aware of it.
But it was strange that the continent was in danger.
“No matter how much you fight like a bastard, you won’t be able to stop the Holy Empire if they move.”
Magi is weak to divine power.
In particular, necromancy and the undead were particularly vulnerable.
No matter how many undead poured in, it was clear that they would be dealt with in an instant if the Holy Empire stepped in.
“That’s right. If the Holy Empire steps in, then yes.”
“no way…?”
“Yes. The Holy Empire is just watching.” “Those bastards… Did they just clean up their internal affairs and wipe their mouths?” “No. The Holy Empire has not even seen any necromancy. Thanks to that, the entire continent is in an uproar.”
Sullivan held out a piece of paper with sad eyes.
Park Hyun-ah accepted it and read the contents, then chuckled.
“Only nations that receive God’s grace can enjoy peace? Anyway, you brats. I’m telling you, you’re smart in this regard.”
It was a kind of flyer.
To announce the greatness of the Holy Empire Gatren.
“Are you conspiring with the Demon King and the Pope again?” “I don’t think so. The Demon King’s army launched an all-out attack. The one currently suffering the most damage is Gatren.” “Then what? How is the situation going?”
Sullivan took a sip of his tea and began to explain in detail.
“The Demon King has been preparing for a necromancy attack for a long time. He probably intended to use necromancy to create chaos in the inland and then push back the front line in an instant.”
“…”
“However, Gatren noticed and prepared for it, so he was able to block the necromancy in advance.”
Only the Holy Empire’s Gatren was not affected by the necromancy.
Even in this situation, the Demon King pushed ahead with his full-scale attack as planned.
“Normally, humans should help each other, sort out the internal necromancy, and block the oncoming Demon King’s army.” “But Gatren didn’t do that. They only focus on defending their own country?” “Yes. I don’t know about Gatren, but other countries won’t be able to withstand the necromancy and the Demon King’s army’s attacks.” “Those Gatren guys. What the hell are you thinking?”
It is a crisis that could easily lead to the collapse of all human power.
And yet, they don’t help other countries because they only want to survive for themselves.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange.
“I think Gatren is probably thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to absorb other countries.”
Park Hyun-ah made a dumbfounded expression at Sullivan’s words.
“So since the Demon King’s army can be stopped by itself anyway, why don’t we make other countries collapse and swallow them all up at once?” “Let’s sum it up.” “They’re really crazy…”
While fighting the demons, they also swallow up other kingdoms.
He was bold and yet infinitely arrogant.
“Well, those guys have been like that since the old days. They act all nice in front of you, but behind your back, they can’t catch their own people, so they’re impatient.”
In reality, the opponents that Gatren hated the most were not the demons, but fellow humans.
This is because the divine power is strong against magic, but weak against magical power.
The reason why they put so much effort into the large-scale warrior project was to deal with fellow humans, not demons.
The Holy Empire has long been preparing to overthrow the other kingdoms.
“This is the time to wipe out the Demons, swallow up other countries, and eat everything. Your ambitions are good, but… don’t you think that if you eat too much, your stomach will burst?” “Gatoren is strong. Even if they destroy themselves, the continent will suffer an indelible wound.”
Sullivan looked straight at Park Hyun-ah.
“So please help me, Park Hyun-ah.” “Haa, it’s annoying…”
Park Hyun-ah, who was scratching the back of her head with a troubled expression, suddenly snapped her fingers.
“Ah! Then that will work.”
“yes?”
“Just open a single teleportation gate at our base.” “A teleportation gate? Where do you plan on connecting it to?”
Park Hyun-ah answered with a sly smile.
“This is Nemosit.”
It was a great opportunity to both level up and get practical training.
