Episode 163
Same time.
Choi Hyun-seok, Abelson, and Bobo were gathered in a cave, their hiding place.
“What are you doing now…?” “Please wait a moment.”
Choi Hyun-seok suddenly started digging the ground.
There was soft dirt in one corner of the cave, and the dog dug there madly as if possessed.
“Whew… I found it.”
After digging for a long time, Choi Hyun-seok finally straightened his back.
What he took out was a yellow fruit that I had never seen before.
Choi Hyun-seok brought the fruit with care as if he were holding it as a sacred offering.
“Mr. Abelson, do you know what this is?”
“no.”
Abelson said with as indifferent an expression as possible.
It seemed as if a pitiful expression would appear the moment he let his guard down even a little.
‘You didn’t go crazy fighting the devil, did you…?’
Choi Hyun-seok is a hero who will save the world.
It was a huge problem for her that such a warrior’s spirit was gone.
“Hehehe… This is it! This is absolutely incredible!”
It was when Choi Hyun-seok was stroking the fruit with a strange smile.
Rachel, who was next to him, ran toward the fruit.
“Kuaaaah! Give it back!”
“Are you crazy? Where did you get the spit from?”
Choi Hyun-seok swung his hand like lightning and hit Rachel.
Rachel crashed into the cave wall with a crash.
Even as she fell to the floor, her gaze was still fixed on the fruit.
“Hey, warrior… just one bite…” “I’ll wait.” “I’ll do anything you tell me…” “Then hold your breath. I’ll give it to you if you hold it for about an hour.”
“yes…”
Rachel pinches her nose with her hand.
Abelson watched the two blankly.
‘They’re crazy. They’re definitely crazy in pairs.’
It seemed like Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel had gone crazy together.
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok came over, coughing in vain.
“Ahem, if we’re going to talk about this fruit, I guess I’ll have to talk about old times for a moment.”
“yes?”
“It was exactly one week since I got here.”
Choi Hyun-seok started talking about a story that he wasn’t particularly curious about.
“Oh, I can’t even cook meat… There’s nothing to eat.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who fought with the devil every day, clutching his hungry stomach.
He accidentally discovers a yellow lump hanging from the top of a tree.
“Rachel. What does that look like?” “Well, maybe it’s a fruit?”
“Bring it and see.”
“yes.”
Rachel flew away with curiosity, carrying a fruit as big as her body.
“Ugh… It’s so dirty and heavy… Eww!?”
Rachel, who was trembling and flapping her wings, accidentally dropped the fruit.
puck!
The fruit that fell to the ground hit a rock and broke its skin.
At that moment, a sweet fragrance began to spread throughout the world.
“What is this…?”
“Warrior… It smells so sweet…”
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel approached the fruit as if possessed.
And when I came to my senses…
After all the fruit had disappeared into my stomach.
“Of all the fruits I’ve ever eaten in my life. No! Of all the foods I’ve ever eaten! It was by far the best!”
Choi Hyun-seok said with his eyes wide open.
“That’s right! It’s crazy delicious!”
Rachel also glared and joined in.
Abelson nodded with a trembling face.
“Oh, yes… This is that fruit?” “Yes! But, there is one more sad story about this fruit.”
“What is that…?”
Abelson wasn’t particularly curious, but asked out of courtesy.
“It was about ten days after I first discovered the fruit.”
That’s how Choi Hyun-seok’s story began again.
“Hehehe… Rachel! I found it! I found it!”
Since I first ate yellow fruit.
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel searched the forest every day to find fruit.
As a result, we were able to find the fruit again after ten days.
“Kihihi! Warrior. Eat this sparingly! Last time, I ate it all, so I couldn’t even taste it properly!” “Okay. Let’s eat it sparingly every day!”

It was a little smaller than before, but that didn’t matter to the two of them.
The two just laughed purely out of joy at having found the fruit.
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel’s eyes sparkled at the thought of eating fruit.
“Hey. You have something good?”
Park Hyun-ah appeared out of nowhere.
“This is something that even demons are after, so it won’t be easy to find. Where did you find it?”
She came up to me naturally and snatched the fruit.
Agh!
He takes a bite of the fruit in one breath and makes a happy expression.
“Hmm~ This is the taste.”
Park Hyun-ah, who ate the fruit in an instant, smiled with satisfaction.
and…
“Hey. Tell me next time you ask for it.”
He waved his hand and left.
On the floor, only the fruit peels were strewn miserably.
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel trembled with anger.
“f*ck… F**k! How did I find that!” “Sir. Should I kill it? No! Just kill it! Cut open its belly and take out the fruit! It might not be fully digested yet!”
Unfortunately, Park Hyun-ah’s ears were everywhere.
“What did you just say? You want me to cut open your stomach?” “Ahaha! No, I’m just kidding… Hehe…”
This is a world of survival of the fittest.
Inemosit, the land of the devil.
If you are not strong, you cannot protect the fruit.
“I still get goosebumps when I think about that day…!”
“Me too!”
After finishing his story, Choi Hyun-seok clenched his fists and trembled.
Rachel also responded by swinging her fist in the air.
“That woman! I won’t leave you alone the next time I see you!” “Oh, yes… You must have had a hard time…”
Contrary to the words of comfort, Abelson’s face was expressing a look of deep disappointment.
There was also a hint of disgust in her gaze.
‘It’s irreversible.’
Isn’t it too late to turn back?
The two of them seemed crazy, but not ordinary crazy.
“And just yesterday!!!”
Suddenly, Choi Hyun-seok shouted.
“I found this again by accident! Then I went straight back to my hiding place and dug a hole in the ground to hide it!”
He explained yesterday’s situation using gestures and footwork, and then he stroked the fruit with a loving face.
Rachel also came near the fruit and rubbed her face against it.
“Whew, even thinking about it now, I’m so grateful. If even this had been taken away… Rachel might have died!” “Ah, yes… Thank goodness…”
Abelson sighed deeply.
“Ha… So, are we done with the fruit story?” “No. There’s more to come.”
“also…?”
Although Abelson showed that he was obviously bored, Choi Hyun-seok pushed the story forward at his own pace.
“Do you know what I saw yesterday when I was looking for this?” “I don’t really want to know…” “There were ten fruits similar to this one! Ten of them!” “Wow… That’s amazing…” “That’s right! But I couldn’t take any more. There was a scary beast guarding it…”
As Choi Hyun-seok spoke, he secretly observed Abelson’s expression.
Abelson narrowed his eyes.
“Surely… you’re trying to tell me to go get that fruit right now… .”
“That’s it!”
Choi Hyun-seok suddenly stood up.
“Without Park Hyun-ah, now! It has to be now! We have to get the fruit right now and hide it here!” “Mr. Choi Hyun-seok, calm down for now. It’s foolish to risk your life for a piece of fruit.”
“Wow!”
Bobo also nodded his muzzle and barked vigorously, seeming to agree with Abelson’s words.
“It’s just a fruit! No!”
Choi Hyun-seok sat back down and carefully held out the fruit.
“Mr. Abelson and Bobo will change their minds once they taste this.” “No matter what…”
Abelson was questionable.
Can a person become so damaged even after not eating proper food for a long time?
‘No matter how delicious the fruit is, how delicious is it?’
But I was still secretly curious.
I wondered, “How delicious must it be that they go to such lengths to make it like that?”
“Be careful not to spill a single drop…”
Choi Hyun-seok carefully cut the fruit with his magic.
That moment.
Wow~
A sweet fragrance spread throughout the cave.
Abelson and Bobo looked at the fruit with wide eyes.
“Oh no! No, wait. I’ll distribute it fairly.”
Choi Hyun-seok divided the fruit into exactly four pieces and gave one piece each to Bobo and Abelson.
Then he took a big bite of one of the two remaining pieces and handed it to Rachel.
Rachel opened her eyes wide as she was handed the half-fruit.
“Why are you giving me the small one?” “You’re small. It’s not fair to split it equally!” “Stop whining! I want my fair share!” “Oh, stop whining.” “I want my fair share too! I want my fair share too! I want my fair share too!” “If you keep doing that, I’ll take what’s left over too.”
“Eek…”
Rachel lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
She, who had been looking so wronged, took a bite of the fruit and smiled brightly.
“Kihihi… so delicious!”
The sadness of receiving the smallest piece is instantly forgotten, it is literally the best in the world!
Choi Hyun-seok also had a happy expression on his face as he bit into his own fruit.
“Haa~ This is it…”
“Hero. If you have this fruit, macaron.
“You don’t have to eat that kind of stuff for the rest of your life.” “Compare what you can compare.” “Right? I made a mistake. Hehe!”
Abelson gulped as he watched the two of them chattering so earnestly.
‘Wherever I am…’
Abelson opens his mouth slightly.
Then I took a bite of the yellow and scarlet flesh of the fruit.
“This is…!”
She felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her head.
Kururururung!
No, it’s really lightning striking!
Abelson shuddered at the tingling sensation inside his brain.
“uh…?”
When I came to my senses, the fruit was gone.
“…”
Abelson and Bobo looked at each other.
The two nodded and stood up from their seats.
“Let’s leave right away.”
It was the moment when the yellow fruit collection expedition was formed.
***
“The operation is as follows.”
As they moved to where the fruit was, Choi Hyun-seok explained the operation.
“Bobo and I will buy time for the demons, while Mr. Abelson and Rachel pick some fruit and run away.” “Why don’t we just hunt the demons? I think the three of us could catch any demon.”
Abelson’s proposal seems reasonable at first glance.
Because everyone in the group had become strong enough to play their own role in the Inemosit food chain pyramid.
One, Choi Hyun-seok shook his head firmly.
“It’s absolutely impossible.”
“Why?”
“It’s a feeling.”
“persimmon…?”
“The magical energy I felt from that demon easily surpassed Bobo. Even if the three of us gathered together, it would be difficult to fight him head-on.” “Hmm… I understand.”
These are the words of Choi Hyun-seok, the only person who directly witnessed the demon.
Moreover, he had a keen sense of smell for the strong, so I trusted him even more.
“First, let me describe its appearance.”
Choi Hyun-seok held a branch and drew a picture on the dirt floor.
“Overall, it feels like a fat orc. Although the body is much bigger.” “If it’s an orc, it’s not a demon, it’s a demon tribe.
“No, right?” “Hmm, but there’s no way a demon could live here, right? And he’s too big to be an orc. It’s also strange that he’s fat and has no muscles. Orcs are usually very muscular.”
“ah…”
“Anyway, aside from the fact that it looks like a fat orc, there’s nothing special about it. As for its abilities…”
Choi Hyun-seok stroked his chin for a moment, lost in thought.
He nodded as if he had finally gathered his thoughts.
“I don’t know about ability.”
“yes…?”
“I’ve seen him fight, but he doesn’t really have any special abilities.”
“…”
“All they do is beat them to death with a club.”
Choi Hyun-seok said with a serious expression.
“I know this sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. Mr. Abelson should have seen that guy swinging his club…” “That’s right! One hit would be enough to turn you into a rat cannon!”
Rachel, who was standing next to him, intervened.
“If by any chance that guy follows Mr. Abelson, don’t even think about fighting him and just run away.”
“yes…”
“That’s true. At that time, you should throw away all the fruit and everything and run away without looking back.”
“all right.”
Even while moving after that, Choi Hyun-seok continued to receive assurances.
“You must! You must run away! You must!”
When Abelson’s irritation reached its peak due to the continued warnings.
“Shhh! It’s ahead.”
Choi Hyun-seok stopped and lowered his posture.
“Do you see that forked tree over there?”
“yes.”
“If you walk a little further in the direction of that tree, you will see the fruit.”
“all right.”
“Bobo and I will move first, so Mr. Abelson and Rachel, hide and move.”
Abelson and Rachel nodded with nervous expressions.
This was the moment when the fruit frost operation began.
***
Oak Cardlock.
He was formerly the deputy commander of the 3rd Army Corps of the Demon King’s Army.
The reason why Deputy Commander Cardlock is sitting on the Inemosit is because of his superior, Hemis.
“Cardlock. What did I say I hate the most?” “Well, that idiot.” “Yeah, that idiot. And that idiot is here? Hohohoho!”
Absurdity within the military.
Hemis was terribly bothered by Cardlock.
It was routine to send Cardlock out to the front lines alone to fight.
They were also set up as shields during the retreat of the unit.
This was practically the same as ordering Cardlock to die.
Yet the card lock barely survived.
Somehow I got back to the unit and got cussed out by Hemis again.
“You really are a tough guy, aren’t you~?”
“Go, thank you!”
“Are you stupid? I can easily live for five hundred years! Hohohoho!”
Someone might think this way:
Can’t you refuse such an unreasonable order?
Unfortunately, Cardlock didn’t have a choice like ‘Refuse the order!’
Because I was so scared of Hemis.
Cardlock, who had been watching her powerlessness from the side, was unable to even think of resisting and suffered from the absurdity.
Then an incident occurred that decisively caused him to leave the military.
“Hey, Hemis.”
“why?”
“This, this, human, is attacking, attacking…” “Cardlock. Didn’t I tell you not to stutter?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“Huh~ Are you ignoring what I’m saying? Is that so?” “That, that, that’s not it…”
Cardlock was scolded that day too.
In fact, Cardlock doesn’t do it because he wants to stutter.
I used to stutter a lot, but not to this extent.
It was just that I was nervous just standing in front of Hemis, so my usual stuttering habit got worse.
“I’m not feeling well today. The meat I ate for breakfast didn’t taste good.” “I’m sorry…”
“Go out and block it yourself. If you come back without blocking it, it’s your dinner tonight.”
On that path, Cardlock left the Demon King’s army.
The humans that invaded at that time were a legendary force of over 50,000 soldiers.
Are you going to face such a large force alone?
The dog’s death is confirmed.
He had no other choice because if he said he couldn’t do it, he would immediately become dinner.
There is no choice but to run away.
“Hey, Hemis… bad girl…”
More than 200 years have passed since then.
Still, whenever I thought of Hemis, I felt a strange mixture of anger and fear.
“My treasure… I only need treasure.”
Anyway, Cardlock, who was hiding in Inemosit, accidentally finds out about a very delicious yellow fruit.
Afterwards, you will discover a place where there are a lot of trees that bear that fruit.
At the time, a very strong demon was guarding the area, but Cardlock, who was at the peak of his power as a deputy commander, was able to kill the demon after a life-threatening fight.
From that day on, guarding the tree that holds the treasure became Cardlock’s life and everything.
“My treasure… Touch it and I’ll kill you…”
Cardlock rolled his eyes here and there.
Over 500 years old, fat body, and wrinkled skin.
Although his white fur grew here and there, his eyes still shone coldly.
“If you touch…”
Suddenly, Cardlock struck down a thick club.
“I’m gonna kill you!”
Kwajik!
The head of the devil who was sneaking up on me to get the fruit was sunken in.
The demon known as ‘Sleebrapa’ was a cunning and cruel demon known as the Forest Ravager, but he was nothing more than a mutt in front of Cardlock’s club.
“Sweet gold. I eat it alone.”
Cardlock took a bite of the fruit and smiled contentedly.
That moment.
“Human…? Human thief!!!”
A demon was seen approaching another tree and a human was seen climbing on top of it.
The eyes of the human picking fruit and the card lock meet.
“If you touch me… I’ll kill you!”
A new type of card lock shot out like a flash of light.
