Episode 233
The fist flies in quickly.
The power contained within is overwhelming.
Even if you block it, the shock will be huge.
‘Still too honest.’
However, no matter how strong the attack is, it is meaningless if it doesn’t hit.
Choi Hyun-seok perfectly avoided the punch by simply twisting his head.
Then he slightly extended his leg and stepped forward.
“Eww!”
The unbalanced Cidriel staggers, unable to overcome her own strength.
Choi Hyun-seok drove his knee into Cidriel’s exposed abdomen.
Phew!
For a moment, Cidriel’s eyes widened as if they were going to pop out, and then he flew at a terrifying speed and crashed into the rock.
Kwaaang-!
The rocks shatter with a loud noise, sending up clouds of dust.
Choi Hyun-seok stared at the place with sharp eyes.
“Not yet!”
As expected, Sidriel appeared through the dust and attacked.
‘I guess I have to give him some credit for his tenacity.’
Choi Hyun-seok faced Cidriel with tired eyes.
Even though he had been getting beaten for over an hour, his eyes were still alive.
Judging by the unnatural and sluggish movements, it seems like a lot of damage has been accumulated.
However, the fact that his momentum was not broken was proof of the strength of Cidriel’s will.
‘Well, I don’t intend to accept that though.’
Choi Hyun-seok dodged the flying attack and raised his mana.
Nobilis
Type 4 – Authoritative Death
He throws his fist at the rushing Sidriel.
An exquisite attack that targets the moment when the body is floating in the air.
It is impossible to avoid.
Sidriel quickly surrounded himself with magic to brace himself for the impact.
Soon, the fist strikes Cidriel, sending shockwaves in all directions.
Kwaaaaang-!
Sidriel flew away again at incredible speed and crashed somewhere.
‘The response was late.’
I used magic to prepare for the shock, but it was unstable.
It felt like Sidriel’s magic was piercing through and directly striking his body.
This was also something that happened because of her inexperience.
“Eww!”
Even though he must have been very shocked, Cidriel still flew at him fiercely.
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head and held out his hand.
“That’s enough. Let’s stop here for today.” “I can still fight!” “It won’t be effective if you keep hitting me like that.”
“but…!”
Choi Hyun-seok kicked the leg of Sidriel, who was trying to refute him.
Even though the impact wasn’t that strong, Cidriel collapsed.
“Look at this. Why do you want to fight anymore when your legs are already weak?”
“I am…”
Cidriel clenched his fists with an indignant expression.
He already knew that Choi Hyun-seok was stronger than him, but he didn’t know he would be defeated so helplessly.
Even he himself became the Demon King and became stronger than before.
If you just look at his simple abilities, Choi Hyun-seok is far below him.
“But why…!”
Even though he was clearly faster and stronger.
Choi Hyun-seok treated himself like he was playing with a child.
It felt like I wasn’t even using half of my power.
How did it turn out like this?
“First, take a deep breath. When you feel better, I’ll tell you about the problems I noticed while sparring today.”
“i get it…”
Cidriel bowed his head.
Choi Hyun-seok clicked his tongue inwardly as he looked at her.
‘I knew it, but it’s more serious than I thought.’
Today is the first day of Dalian.
The showdown with Doritos is in two weeks.
Meanwhile, Choi Hyun-seok decided to receive special training at Inemosit with Sidriel.
The reason why they went all the way to Inemosit was because they couldn’t let Choi Hyun-seok be seen.
“But is it okay for the Demon King to be away for two weeks?” “It doesn’t really matter. The war is over anyway.”
Training started after that.
As expected, Cidriel was too weak.

To be exact, he was strong, but he couldn’t even use half of the strength he had.
“Have you calmed down a bit?”
“… It seems like you’re feeling better.” “As expected, your body is strong.” Could it be that you are indeed the Demon King’s bloodline?
It is an incredible resilience.
It’s amazing that it’s come back to this extent even though it was so right.
This is a good sign.
Sidriel’s low resilience will be of great help in the upcoming training.
Before starting training in earnest.
First, Choi Hyun-seok pointed out the problems with Cidreel that he felt while sparring.
“First of all, the biggest problem is that it is too honest.”
“Honest?”
“The attack is obvious. There are no variables. No matter how fast or strong you are, if you attack honestly like this, it’s not hard to dodge.”
Although Sidriel is obviously stronger, Choi Hyun-seok also has physical abilities equivalent to a legion commander.
This means that the power gap between the two is not so great as to be overwhelming.
Then how to fight becomes important, but Sidriel was too immature in most situations.
“That Doritugs guy will dodge easier than me. He has almost the same ability as you.”
“I see…”
Currently, Sidriel’s combat power is 630,000.
Last Demon
The combat power of Doritos confirmed at the time of the competition was 650,000.
‘Even I, with a combat power of 420,000, was able to dodge this easily, so that guy is nothing to behold.’
I don’t know if Dorritugs is as good of a fighter as Sidriel, but that’s unlikely.
Because he was said to be the strongest of all the legion commanders, excluding Hemis.
‘I understand that you want to have a fair fight if possible, but it’ll be difficult.’
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Cidriel, who had her head bowed with her face completely dry.
She had decided to confront Dorritugs head-on without any help, but it was obvious that she would not be able to hold out for long before she was knocked out.
Even now, the magic corps of the Dracaen Empire is diligently preparing, so there will be no problems with the operation.
I kept feeling sad when I thought about her being left alone.
Choi Hyun-seok deliberately smiled exaggeratedly and patted Cidreel on the back.
“But the fundamentals are solid! Variables are things that can be filled with experience. Even if it’s just two weeks, if you train with me, you’ll definitely get better!”
“Is that so!?”
“Of course! In two weeks, you will be completely reborn!”
Cidriel’s expression brightens immediately.
She looked at Choi Hyun-seok with great expectations.
Being reborn in two weeks.
Common sense would have it that such a thing was impossible, but Cidriel truly believed Choi Hyun-seok’s words.
“I see! Choi Hyun-seok! You know a special training method that can make you stronger in a short period of time!”
“that’s right.”
“What is that training!?”
Rather than Choi Hyun-seok lying, Cidreel expected that he knew some great training method.
Choi Hyun-seok chuckled at her question.
“What the heck. This is f*cking right.”
“huh…?”
“Anything that gets hit increases.” “No, that’s not training, is it?” “You’re strong, so it’s good that I can hit you easily too.”
Choi Hyun-seok already seemed to have no intention of listening.
A flustered Cidriel waved her arms and retreated.
“Choi Hyun-seok. Let me talk for a moment…” “Then. Grit your teeth.”
Instead of an answer, a heavy fist flew at me.
***
Same time.
The Marriott Palace was busy preparing to welcome guests.
In fact, he was more like an uninvited guest than a guest, but since he was the other person, I had no choice but to treat him with the utmost respect.
“It’s been a while, Abelson.”
Saint Morial of the Deusis doctrine.
And the three legends of Gatren who played the greatest role in this war.
They found the palace of the Kingdom of Mariott.
“Are you comfortable, Saint?” “Yes. Because I have the protection of God.”
Saint Morial, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly took on a sad expression.
“That’s a shame, Abelson. You too were once a faithful servant of God.” “I am content now.” “Content… that’s a rationalization.”
“What does that mean?”
“I can see it. Your anxiety and nervousness. It’s a common trait among those who have sinned.”
Abelson leaned back against the chair and stared at Saint Morial.
“That’s interesting. Did God say that?” “Yes. He’s whispering in my ear right now. That you’re hiding the undead.”
Abelson knows.
Saint Morial can no longer hear the voice of God.
To be exact, God is refusing to talk to her.
This must have been God speaking directly to Abelson.
‘And yet, you shamelessly bring up God. How rotten are you?’
As someone who once admired Saint Morial, I can’t help but feel sorry.
“Tell me now. Where are you hiding the undead?” “Undead? That’s a religious speculation. We have no relationship with the undead.” “You plan to lie to the end.” “Lies. If that’s what you think, why don’t you ask God yourself? Where the undead are hiding.”
For a moment, a deep smile appeared on Abelson’s lips.
“I don’t know if God will answer that request.”
Even with the words that hit the nail on the head, Saint Morial’s expression did not change at all.
She stood up calmly and clasped her hands together.
“It is also a sin to seek God in such a private matter, for I can know it myself without having to ask God.”
A vast amount of divine power began to emanate from Saint Morial.
An enormous amount of divine power that would overwhelm even Abelson.
Abelson watched her quietly.
‘What are you planning to do?’
Saint Morial, who had been emitting divine power for a long time, nodded.
“As expected. I can feel the afterglow of magic.”
“What did you say…?”
“I can sense traces of someone with powerful magic staying in this palace. Such sticky magic. It feels like bugs are crawling on my body.”
Abelson unconsciously clenched his fist.
‘The remnants of magic? That’s a baseless statement…!’
In reality, it is not impossible to feel the afterglow of magic.
Because it was possible for Abelson too.
If you are like Saint Morial, you will not miss even the smallest trace.
However, the opponent is Sarah Dunphy, known as the Magical Mother.
She had already completely erased all traces of herself before she left.
So cleanly that even Abelson couldn’t find any trace of it.
Even if Saint Morial was outstanding, there was no way she could have found the traces that Sarah Dunphy had erased.
“There must be an undead hiding somewhere in this palace. If Abelson won’t cooperate, we’ll go find it ourselves.”
Abelson sighed deeply.
‘That’s what it was.’
The afterglow of magic and such.
It wasn’t important to begin with.
I just needed an excuse.
After all, if the saint said that she felt the afterglow, no one would be able to refute it.
‘To think that you could be so petty…’
From now on, they will sit in the palace and commit all kinds of evil acts.
Tampering with the evidence.
He will cut off each of your limbs, one by one, for colluding with the undead.
At this point, even Abelson couldn’t help but notice.
‘From the beginning, the goal was me.’
From the beginning, Sarah Dunphy was a secondary character.
Their real goal is to dethrone Abelson.
‘What should I do…?’
Unfortunately, Abelson was powerless to stop them.
No matter how far-fetched it may be, their authority and force are their justification.
A trio considered to be the absolute strongest among saints and legends.
If you put your mind to it, you have the power to turn the entire Mariott Kingdom into rubble in one day.
All Abelson can do is hold out as long as he can and wait for them to tire out and fall apart.
Even from the perspective of the Gatren Empire, it would be impossible to keep that much power tied up in one kingdom for a long time.
‘I guess I can only wait for time to tell…’
At that moment, Abelson gave up and lowered his head.
The door opened and someone came in.
He was not a person from the palace, but rather one of the priests who had come with them.
“Your Majesty! This is an urgent report!”
“What’s going on?”
“Undead! The undead have appeared in the empire!”
***
“Your Majesty, is it really necessary to do this?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Why would the King take upon himself such a task… I don’t know why.”
Liam, the greatest warrior of the Kingdom of Balington.
He wasn’t happy with the situation right now.
His master is just a ‘bait’ trying to help others.
Even this was an extremely dangerous thing.
“If you are not careful, His Majesty may be in danger.”
“I guess so.”
“But why…!”
“Liam.”
Sarah Dunphy looked back at Liam.
But those eyes clearly contained Liam.
For some reason Liam had the feeling that she was looking at something beyond himself.
Soon Sarah Dunphy opened her mouth.
“What do you think is the meaning of existence?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Meaning. Meaning. Value. Whatever you call it, it doesn’t matter. It’s what allows you to exist as you are. What is the meaning of your life?”
Liam couldn’t answer the sudden question.
The meaning of existence.
The meaning of life.
Because he had never thought about such a thing.
Sarah Dunphy snickered when Liam couldn’t answer.
“Liam. As you said, this is dangerous. We might die. No one knows what kind of world awaits us once we die as undead.”
“…”
“So I won’t force you. If you want, you can go back.” “I’m just following my lord.”
Liam bowed his head.
Sarah Dunphy, who had been quietly watching him, suddenly stretched.
“Okay. Then let’s get started.”
Magic seethed within Sarah Dunphy’s body.
Within, the magic spreads out roughly.
Swaaaaaaah-!
Sacred City of Gatren, the Holy Empire.
The sky over the city, which is counted among the ten largest in Gatren, has turned black.
