Episode 165
“Install it around here.”
“All right.”
People started moving busily at Park Hyun-ah’s words.
They were specialists in installing space movement gates.
‘It would be better to make it further inside, but… it can’t be helped because it could be dangerous.’
The place where Park Hyun-ah is currently standing is the entrance to Inemosit.
The place where Choi Hyun-seok and his party are is a little further inside.
For convenience, it would be better to create a space movement gate inside, but doing so carries with it several risks.
‘There are those who come out in the depths and rush at me even though they sense my magic.’
If you spread Park Hyun-ah’s magic power, even the most evil beasts won’t come near.
But that’s only true at the beginning of Inemosit.
As you go deeper into the Inemosit, you will encounter demons that ignore the reverberations of such magical power and rush in.
In the worst case scenario, those who smelled the strong and were difficult to deal with might swarm you.
So, even though it was a bit inconvenient, it was right to install a gate on the outskirts.
“By the way, why is it so noisy?”
Park Hyun-ah frowned and looked to one side.
I felt the forest stirring for a while now.
If it was detected from quite a distance, then there must have been a big commotion.
And that direction matched where Choi Hyun-seok, Abelson, and Bobo were left behind.
“These kids. Did they get into some trouble?”
Park Hyun-ah flew into the sky.
I felt like I had to check it out myself.
Crossing the sky at high speed, we finally arrive at the source of the noise.
Park Hyun-ah made a dumbfounded expression.
“What the hell is this?”
It was literally a crucible of chaos.
All the demons in the vicinity had gathered, and there were probably over a thousand demons engaged in a bloody battle.
There are demons with a fighting power of over 100,000, who are known to exert some strength, all over the place.
Even difficult ones with a combat power of over 200,000 were often seen.
But the most impressive thing is the giant chunk of flesh that is breaking the heads of all the demons.
“Orc? Is that an orc…?”
Park Hyun-ah stared at the giant oak card lock.
“What kind of orc is that big?”
It was twice the size of an average orc and had a lot of flesh, so I thought it might be an ogre, but no matter how I looked at it, it was definitely an orc.
Park Hyun-ah checked the card lock with a combat power meter.
[ Combat Power: 336,200 ]
A fighting force of over 300,000.
The figure was much higher than expected.
“At that level, even if it’s difficult for a legion commander, it’s almost on par with a legend… Where did that guy come from?”
Although there are individual differences, human legends generally have a fighting power of between 300,000 and 400,000.
The Demon King’s army commander has around 400,000 to 500,000 troops.
The giant orc may not be a legion commander, but his abilities are almost legendary.
And Choi Hyun-seok and his group were being chased by that orc.
“Haa, what did that kid do again?”
Park Hyun-ah sighed as she watched the group running away while riding on Bobo.

“Kraaaaah!”
“Kyaaaaak!”
“You guys! Stop following me!”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted, throwing away the attacking devil.
More than an hour has already passed since the battle began.
Over the years, countless demons’ heads have been broken, but their numbers seem to be increasing rather than decreasing.
“Kill me! Kill me! Kill meeeeeeeeeee!”
Cardlock was still running wild.
It seemed as if things had gotten more brutal than before.
‘Should I be thankful that the devil has come?’
The demon focused more on the card lock than the group.
Because the guy had a lot of flesh on his body.
Thanks to that, the card lock’s speed was slowed down, so I was able to escape like this. If not, I might have turned into jerky a long time ago.
“Mr. Abelson!”
“Huh!? Did you find the fruit!?”
Abelson’s eyes were still fixed on the fruit.
Choi Hyun-seok slapped Abelson on the cheek.
slap-
Abelson’s eyes, which had been hit on the cheek, gradually began to focus.
“Mr. Abelson! Come to your senses!”
“Uh, uh…?”

“If we keep going like this, we’ll all die!”
“ah…!”
Only then did Abelson look around and take stock of the situation.
“Why am I doing this…?” “That’s not important. I have to shake off that pig orc somehow!”
The group was currently on a precarious tightrope walk.
If Bobo makes even the slightest mistake, or if the party falls off Bobo, death is certain at that moment.
“I’ll blow it away with divine power!” “Divine power won’t do. It’s more likely to have the opposite effect.”
“Why?”
“The devil will retreat in the face of divine power, but that pig will follow to the end.”
“ah…”
“If the demon disappears, it will be easier for him to chase after me and I might even catch up with him….”
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok was talking.
A huge demon appeared in front, rivaling Bobo.
“Pwwww!”
The one who was howling strangely ran towards me and started to slam me.
Thanks to that, the group riding on Bobo flew into the sky.
“Eww!”
“Whoa!”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was flying quickly, unfortunately hit a hard rock.
“Ahh… it’s a sack.”
It’s practically the same as being in a traffic accident.
Even though he was Choi Hyun-seok, he couldn’t help but feel his bones ache.
“Human! Got him!”
“What the heck…”
Before I knew it, the Oak Cardlock was right in front of me.
It felt like a huge wall was blocking my way as a large man, probably about 3 meters tall, was standing in front of me.
“Treasure thief! Die!”
Cardlock swings a club.
It’s already too late to avoid it.
Choi Hyun-seok activated his magic.
‘If it comes to this, it’s a do or die situation!’
Whether it worked or not, we had no choice but to fight.

He extends his fist towards the approaching club.
Fists and clubs clash.
Soon, a pain as if every bone in my body was breaking came over me.
“Cough!”
Choi Hyun-seok flew into the air again, spitting out blood.
‘Isn’t this foul play…’
Even though it was clearly offset by speculation, the impact was enormous.
His right arm, which had been hit head-on with the club, was completely reduced to a rag.
“Human. Quite a bit. But it kills.”
Cardlock, who had been chasing after him in an instant, picked up his club again.
Choi Hyun-seok glared at the club raised high into the sky.
‘I have to avoid it somehow…!’
At the last moment, extreme concentration was demonstrated.
The falling club appears to be in slow motion.
However, his own body was slower than that.
The club came closer and closer.
Choi Hyun-seok was still defenseless.
Death is getting closer.
I have no choice but to cross my arms and take a defensive stance.
“What are you doing?”
It was then that a familiar voice was heard.
A woman with her hair tied in a ponytail was standing in front of me, not knowing when she would appear.
“Die!”
Kwaaang!
The club in the card lock fell.
***
Park Hyun-ah, a woman who had stretched out her arm to block the club, frowned.
“f*ck… this is so dirty.”
Except for his magical power, his physical specs seemed similar to mine.
Add to that the massive size and the force of falling from a great height, and the impact felt quite large.
“Human woman. Who are you?” “I’m the former commander. You new guy.”
Park Hyun-ah swings a sword.
Cardlock instantly raised his club and blocked it.
Cardlock’s eyes lit up at the unusual shock he felt beyond the club.
“Human. Strong!”
“I’m a bit strong. But who are you?” “Ugh…! I don’t know!”
After finishing their exploration, Park Hyun-ah and Cardlock began to clash in earnest.
Boom! Boom! Kwaaah!
Every time the sword and club clash, the sound of a bomb exploding can be heard.
Cardlock swung his club like he was possessed, and Park Hyun-ah blocked and dodged all of his attacks, stabbing him with her sword through the gaps.
Pfft, pfft!
Cardlock’s skin is cut and blood spurts out.
However, it doesn’t seem to have taken much of a hit, perhaps because of the thick fat.
Rather, it seemed to only make Cardlock more angry.
“Kwaaahhh! Treasure! You’re after the treasure too! I’ll kill you!” “This is really shit! Where the hell does this freaking bastard come from!”
Park Hyun-ah frowned and quickly backed away.
“Hey. Pig. What are you, really? Are you part of the Demon King’s Army?”
Suddenly the card lock stopped.
“Ah, no! Cardlock! T-It’s not the Demon King’s Army!”
They are a group of demons who want to hide the fact that they are part of the Demon King’s army, even if anyone can see that they are at a loss.
Park Hyun-ah narrowed her eyes.
‘There was a guy like that in the Demon King’s army?’
She examined the card lock closely.
‘He’s old. In human terms, he’s at least 80 years old. Why is this kid, who should be dying, so energetic?’
It’s probably a demon that’s over 500 years old.
Since Park Hyun-ah hasn’t been in the Demon King’s Army for very long, I thought that she might have been a corps commander or deputy corps commander in the past.
‘for a moment…’
At that moment, for some reason, a conversation I had with Hemis in the past flashed through my mind.
“I’m so tired of all these idiots. There’s no one I can trust with my work.”
Before the start of the Corps Commander’s Meeting.
One day, Hemis said something in a complaining tone.
Park Hyun-ah thought it was right and started an argument.
“How stupid! You can just have the deputy commander do everything for you like me.”
“Huh~ Deputy Commander?”
“I heard it’s been vacant for quite some time… Oh no! Are you saying that you can’t get one even if you want to?”
Park Hyun-ah didn’t know the details either.
The position of deputy commander of the 3rd Army Corps had been vacant for a very long time.
I just heard that for some reason, no one wanted to go there.
“Well, who would be able to handle your annoying personality? There’s no way anyone would want to be a deputy commander.”
For a moment, a vein appeared on Hemis’ forehead.
“You don’t know, you who have no blood on your head, but I also had a deputy commander.” “Pfft! There’s no need to make something up.” “Oh ho ho! It’s true. He ran away later, but…” “The deputy commander ran away? What kind of crazy talk is that?”
Instead of answering, Hemis raised the corners of his mouth.
Anyone could see that it was a smiling face, but Park Hyun-ah could tell.
That there was anger in Hemis’ smile.
“Someday, when I catch that pig, I’ll cook a full course meal with orc meat~”
“…”
“I have no idea where he’s hiding. He must still be alive…”
The last image of Hemis muttering while licking her lips with her tongue…
Park Hyun-ah’s flashback has ended.
“That bitch!”
If the giant orc in front of you is the deputy commander of Hemis’ army who ran away, then it makes sense.
Suddenly, an interesting idea flashed through her head.
“Hey. Pig! Hemis is looking for you?” “Heh, heh, Hemis!?”
Cardlock’s eyes widened.
‘bingo.’
Park Hyun-ah smiled faintly.
“Yeah~ That big-mouthed bitch. You know her, right? She used to be your superior.” “Oh, oh, oh, no. I don’t, I don’t know Cardlock! That monster! I don’t know!”
Cardlock stepped back, sweat dripping down his face.
The more this happened, the deeper the smile on Park Hyun-ah’s lips became.
“Why are you stuttering? Huh? Hemis is looking for you. We should go back to the Demon King’s army together.” “W-W-Don’t make me laugh! I, I… I…!”
Cardlock panicked.
Even after 200 years, the fear of Hemis has not completely disappeared.
Rather, it was the card lock that was slowly eating away at his heart.
The fear that Hemis might come at any moment.
The fear that he would be dinner the moment he was caught had been growing in his mind for two hundred years.
“I, I, I, I, I, I…”
The card lock keeps repeating the same thing like a broken robot.
Park Hyun-ah took up the sword.
“Hey, there are days when I get help from that snout-bite bitch.”
Thanks to Hemis, things went smoothly.
If you cut off Cardlock’s neck like this, the situation will be over.
The moment Park Hyun-ah was about to swing her sword.
“Ghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Suddenly the card lock let out a loud roar.
The muscles buried under his flesh swelled fiercely, and rough magic energy gushed out in all directions.
“Cardlock won’t die… I want to live!”
Cardlock raised his club and glared at Park Hyun-ah.
“To live. You must die. If Hemis finds out, it’s a big deal.” “Huh… This isn’t it…?” “Human. Die here.”
The cardlock kicked off the ground and flew up.
