Episode 19
“Everything jumps out!”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted loudly.
As if that shout were a signal, the cooks started running.
“Eww!”
“It’s a monster!!!”
The cooks scattered in all directions like a swarm of cockroaches scattering with a swoosh when the living room light is turned on.
Of course, Queen Talas was not watching the scene.
The Queen’s legs, more than ten meters long, shot out.
Push! Push!
The cooks start to skewer their legs like skewers.
“Kelton! I’m sorry! I’ll make sure to boil your body!”
“Turn it off, turn it off…!”
The cooks fled, leaving their dying comrades behind.
There was no sense of camaraderie to begin with, so there was no sense of guilt.
“Kurururuk…!”
The Queen growled softly as she watched the fleeing cooks.
I must kill all of these guys and avenge the bastard.
But she can’t do it alone.
The queen screamed when she realized that fact.
“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!”
The whole forest trembled at the queen’s shout.
Several of the cooks fell to the ground at the shout filled with magical power.
Choi Hyun-seok also staggered and grabbed the tree.
“What’s with the loud voice?”
At that moment, I was looking at the queen in confusion.
Sha sha sha sha…!
The sound of grass rustling could be heard from all directions.
Choi Hyun-seok looked around with anxious eyes.
“This isn’t good…”
Sha sha sha sha sha sha sha sha!
A gradually increasing noise.
The trees and grass all around were shaking wildly.
It’s as if the whole forest is moving.
“Keeeek…!!!”
Eventually the source of the noise was revealed.
“What the hell!”
Hundreds of Talas!
And it was a fully grown adult, not the young one that had been hunted a little while ago.
Although it wasn’t as big as an elephant like the queen, it was still about the size of a mid-sized passenger car.
Hundreds of those guys were running from all directions, and my vision went dark.
“Hey, warrior! What do we do now!?”
Rachel threw away her five-legged hoe.
“Kulkan! We have to find Kulkan!”
Choi Hyun-seok bit his teeth.
The combat power of Talas that is visible now is around 8,000 on average.
In contrast, Kulkan’s combat power exceeds 30,000.
It would certainly be possible to clear a path.
“Keeeeee!”
Then a Talas came swinging his leg.
Choi Hyun-seok quickly threw his body back.
Phew!
A sharp foreleg passed before my eyes.
Talas did not stop attacking.
WHEEK! WHACK!
A sharp foreleg flies in.
The moment you get stabbed, it’s guaranteed to be a raw skewer.
Choi Hyun-seok narrowly avoided the attack and his eyes sparkled.
‘The difference in fighting power is quite large, but… it might be worth a try!’
He is the one who knocked out Golbakum with one blow.
Maybe even Talas could be a match.
Ta-tat, blame!
Choi Hyun-seok dodged and watched for an opportunity.
‘now!’
The moment the bastard’s legs pass before my eyes.
He swung the kitchen knife at his leg.
Kyaaang!
There was a noise like the crash of iron.

Choi Hyun-seok shivered as he felt electricity run through his whole body.
“Wooooooo…”
The hand that was holding the kitchen knife almost got torn off.
I clearly attacked, but it feels like I was attacked.
“This won’t work! Let’s get out!”
That was enough to get a grasp of the topic.
Choi Hyun-seok turned around just like that.
“Where did that Kulkan kid go!?”
The only answer is to find Kulkan.
I looked around frantically.
Kwaaang!
“Over there!”
Luckily, we were able to spot the noisy Kulkan not far away.
Phew!
Even though he was the first to escape, Kulkan was still the chef.
Talas exploded as if hit by Kulkan’s fist.
It is a strength that is on a different level from other cooking skills.
Kulkan was advancing, destroying Talas with such tremendous force.
“As expected, a combat power of 35,000 doesn’t just come out of nowhere!”
Choi Hyun-seok hurried to where Kulkan was.
I was planning to run away when Kulkan opened the way.
However, Choi Hyun-seok was not the only one who thought that way.
“Ku, Chef Kulkan! Please save me!” “Aaaaah! Chef!!!”
The cooks were also running towards Kulkan.
Some of them were strong enough to fight Talas and win, but no one dared fight him.
Because the number of enemies was so great, and the queen possessed a strength that no one dared approach.
In this situation, the only person they could trust was their captain.
“This, this…!”
Kulkan was startled when he saw his subordinates running towards him.
“Don’t come! The Queen is coming this way!” “I’m the chef! Please save me!”
“Eww! Get out!”
Kulkan started to open the road even more crazily.
Choi Hyun-seok quickly followed behind Kulkan.
“Keeeeeeeeeeee!”
The Queen was also approaching this place where the largest number of cooks were gathered.
Thump thump thump thump thump!
The sight of a spider as big as a commercial building sprinting towards you was horrifying in itself.
The queen, who caught up with the cooks in an instant, started stabbing them one by one.
“Kueeek!”
“Kkaaaang!”
The screams of the guards impaled on the Queen’s legs echo.
Choi Hyun-seok became anxious.
‘If this continues, we will all die.’
With the Queen following him, Kulkan’s rear is no longer safe.
Choi Hyun-seok looked around like he was crazy.
‘Where can I hide…’
At that moment, something caught Choi Hyun-seok’s eye.
‘It’s a cave!’
A fairly large cave was visible through the grass.
It was a cave large enough for an adult Talas to pass through.
‘The Queen will never come in.’
It would be a big deal if an adult Talas were to follow them, but it would still be better than having a queen follow them.
I couldn’t just run away and die, so I decided to take a gamble.
‘It’s worth a try.’
Since everyone was running away in a frenzy, it seemed like no one would care about him falling behind in the line.
“Eww! Get out, everyone!”
Moreover, Talas’ gaze is also fixed on the rampaging Kulkan.
It’s a great situation for a sneaky escape.
Shash!
Choi Hyun-seok secretly changed direction.
No one followed him.
“Ugh, ugh…”
Choi Hyun-seok, who entered the cave in an instant, was breathing heavily.
“Did you shun me…?”
Choi Hyun-seok carefully looked outside the cave.
“Kkaaaaaaah!”
“Keeeeeek!”
“Stop following me, you little ones!”
Outside, it’s still chaos itself.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to this place.
It seemed like no one had discovered it because it was hidden in the grass.
“Haa… I survived…”
Choi Hyun-seok let out a sigh of relief.
I feel like sitting down and resting right now.
‘But we still have to move.’
But there is no time to rest.
I had to run away quickly because I didn’t know when another cook or Talas would come here.
“Sir, are you going to come in here?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you know what’s inside?” “Then shall we go outside?”
Rachel looked outside at Choi Hyun-seok’s question.
“Kkaaaah!”
“Keeeeee!”
Another cook turned into a skewer.
“Let’s go inside!”
“okay.”
It was a very quick acceptance.
***
“How long does it take?”
“That’s right…”
Choi Hyun-seok slowly entered the cave.
Every step was very careful, not knowing what was inside.
“But that’s fortunate. It seems like no one is chasing us.”
Quite some time has passed since I entered the cave.
Now, even the noise outside can be heard faintly.
Fortunately, there seemed to be no other visitors in the area.
“Hero. What if there’s an incredibly powerful demon living in here?” “What are you talking about all of a sudden?” “It’s strange that no one came in when there’s a cave right here.” “Everyone was in a hurry. And it wasn’t even there right away. I guess I just got lucky and found it.” “Hmm… But if there’s an incredibly powerful demon living in here and no one’s coming in…” “Tsk! Are you going to keep saying unlucky things?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at her with a frown.
Rachel turned her head with a pointed expression.
“I said that because I was worried…”
I also understood Rachel’s feelings.
Although Choi Hyun-seok has become stronger in a short period of time, he is still a beginner.
This forest is swarming with demons that even the cooks can’t handle on their own, so it would be strange if you weren’t worried.
“What is this…?”
Choi Hyun-seok stopped.
Because a huge void appeared in front of him.
“It doesn’t seem like just an ordinary cave…”
At first glance, the size of the common area appeared to be as large as a soccer field.
A space of unknown identity.
“I’ll take a look and come back.”
Rachel went in first and looked around.
“What do you see?”
“No. It’s just an empty space with nothing in it.”
“okay?”
Choi Hyun-seok slowly entered the room, looking around.
“It’s really spacious.”
“That’s right.”
The height alone is enormous.
“Even Queen Talas could pass through this space.”
“I know…”
A space where even Queen Talas, with her enormous size, can move around without difficulty.
Choi Hyun-seok was curious about the identity of this space.
At the same time, I was very anxious.
“It won’t work. Let’s go back.” “Huh? Why all of a sudden?”
“I don’t think a cave this big would have just formed. And this sticky thing too…”
Choi Hyun-seok ran his hand along the cave wall.
Oh my…!
Something unidentifiable is clinging to me.
It was a very unpleasant feeling.
“I think I saw something similar on my way here earlier… Anyway, since there are things like this everywhere, there must be something…”
At that moment when Choi Hyun-seok was speaking.
“Keeek, keek…!”
An ominous sound was heard from behind.
Choi Hyun-seok turned around and was surprised.
“What the hell!”
“Keeeeeeeeee!”
Suddenly, an adult Talas appeared and rushed at me, screaming.
“Hero! Jump!”
“I know!”
There is no choice but to fight.
Because I already realized it when I swung my sword at Talas a little while ago.
This is definitely not an opponent you can defeat in a head-on confrontation.
Choi Hyun-seok ran away with all his might.
‘What kind of warrior’s life is this!’
Since he was the best fighter, I thought he would naturally become the best warrior.
But the reality is that he is a slave A who fell into the hands of the Demon King’s army.
Then, all of a sudden, he became a slave trader, and at some point he joined the Demon King’s army and became a dog breeder.
Recently, I hunted demon beasts with the Demon King’s army’s cooks.
Now, I am running away from the devil.
All this happened in less than two months.
‘If I had known this was what it meant to be brave, I would never have done it!’
Dreams and hopes.
blond nobleman
I dreamed of marrying Yeong-ae and living in a big mansion in my old age.
Reality is an endless cesspool.
“uh…!?”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was running away, suddenly stopped.
“Haa… Shit…”
It’s a dead end.
As I kept running, I arrived at a room, but it was a dead end.
“What is this?”
There were round, unidentifiable things scattered all over the floor.
It was probably the egg of Talas.
“The place I ran to was Comrade Talas, and the place I ran to was the dead end of the hatchery…”
Even if I have no luck, how could it be this bad?
“I’m so f*cking unlucky.”
Unlike the depressed Choi Hyun-seok, Talas looked very happy.
“Keeeeeeee!”
It seemed like Choi Hyun-seok knew that there was nowhere else to run.
Choi Hyun-seok bit his teeth.
“I feel like shit too, I can’t eat this anymore!”
“Keeeeeeee!”
“Come at me, you little spider!”
I wonder if you understood what Choi Hyun-seok said.
Talas charged quickly.
‘What should I do!? Think quickly!’
Choi Hyun-seok racked his brain like crazy.
Although he shouted curiously, he did not want to die.
I haven’t even met the blonde, pretty Ariatang yet.
I have never seen a bastard like that.
I absolutely did not want to end this life as an old bachelor.
In the meantime, Talas, who had come within striking distance, slammed his leg down at incredible speed.
“Huh!?”
Crunch! Crunch!
A bloodcurdling sound was heard every time the sharp legs struck the ground.
Choi Hyun-seok rolled around on the floor and dodged frantically.
Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik!
A bridge that is being hit repeatedly.
The terrifying momentum made cold sweat run down my entire body.
‘If this continues, I’ll really die! I have to do something!’
Just before becoming a spider leg skewer.
Choi Hyun-seok noticed something strange.
‘The movements are unnatural?’
Talas was a little strange.
The guy who had been kicking his legs like crazy until now was suddenly swinging his legs unnaturally.
Choi Hyun-seok narrowed his eyes and ducked back.
‘What? Why are you doing that all of a sudden?’
Talas swings his legs, but hesitates as if he is confused.
At that moment, something caught Choi Hyun-seok’s eye.
‘no way…?’
His gaze was fixed on the egg on the floor.
As I quickly picked up the egg, Talas froze as if frozen.
“You. Are you concerned about this?”
An evil smile appeared on Choi Hyun-seok’s face.
