Episode 242
Take down Gatren!
Choi Hyun-seok, who shouted curiously, ran into difficulties from the start.
“What should I do first?”
Gatren isn’t the name of a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall store.
One of the two largest empires on the continent.
The size of its territory alone was comparable to that of the United States on Earth.
I had no idea where to start when trying to bring down such an empire.
We can’t just destroy the city.
Invading the capital and beheading the Pope does not seem like a very realistic plan.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was worried, contacted Olaven Grimier of the Dracaen Empire.
– Sir Choi Hyun-seok, no! It was true that you came back. I thought you had died since I hadn’t heard from you for half a year.
Olaven Grimier welcomed the return of Choi Hyun-seok.
The reaction was so intense that the excited voices could be heard even through the communication port.
“Yes. It’s been a while.”
After exchanging greetings with him for a while.
Choi Hyun-seok got straight to the point.
“Isn’t there a Gatren stronghold that I can easily destroy on my own? I’m trying to move, but I don’t know where to start.” – Then a military stronghold would be best! Just wait a minute!
Olaven Grimier rattled off information about Gatren’s major military strongholds.
“Let’s meet up sometime and have a drink.”
Write down all the information he tells you.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was about to end the call, was caught by Olaven Grimier.
– Sir Choi Hyun-seok. I don’t know if you know, but Sir Park Hyun-ah is also quite active.
“Is this Hyuna’s older sister?”
-It’s been three months since we started the war with Gatren. We might meet on the battlefield. Keep that in mind.
“I will keep that in mind.”
And end the communication.
Choi Hyun-seok carefully examined the information on Gatren’s military base.
“Clubby Fortress. Let’s go here.”
The final choice was the Kluvi Fortress.
I thought it wasn’t a bad start when you take all the conditions into account.
“Sir, why are you so noisy?” “Yes. What’s wrong?”
“Let’s go for now!”
On the way to the Kluvi Fortress.
Suddenly, the surroundings became noisy, and I was moving around to see what was going on.
“I never thought I would run into my older sister here.”
I vaguely thought that I would meet him someday while fighting Gatren, but I didn’t know that I would meet him before the first battle even started.
“It’s fate, after all.”
“I know.”
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel kept nodding their heads, saying, “The world is so small.”
A knight came swinging his sword.
“Die!”
“If you advertise and wave it around like that, even a blind person will avoid it.”
Twist your shoulder to dodge the sword and then punch your enemy in the jaw.
puck-!
The paladin’s head turned with a heavy impact.
The blinded knight fell to his knees like a puppet with its strings cut off, and slammed his head into the ground.
“Rachel. Get things sorted out. I’ll go talk to your sister.”
“Yes!”
Rachel took a polite salute as if to ask him to leave it to her.
At the same time, I felt my mana being sucked out.
Rachel can use Choi Hyun-seok’s mana.
Currently, Choi Hyun-seok has 632 mana points.
At this level, it would be difficult to find a rival even if you searched the entire continent.
Of course, a few common priests and paladins would never be able to stop Rachel.
“Kkaaaah-!”
“Save me!”
While Rachel was running wild.
Choi Hyun-seok approached Park Hyun-ah.
He waved his hand and grinned.
“Sister! It’s been a while.” “It’s been a while! You punk! Where have you been sucking honey and why are you only showing up now!?” “There was something going on. There was something going on.” “Okay. Let’s get going. Now is not the time to be idly talking nonsense.”
“You want to run away?”
“Oh. There are guys chasing me.” “Come on. Let’s handle them here.”
Let’s run away from this situation.
I wondered if it was really necessary to do that.
Given the circumstances, it is clear that Park Hyun-ah has completed her recovery.
He himself is also in top condition.
If we join forces with her, wouldn’t we be able to quickly make two or three legends?

It seemed better to deal with the enemy through a counterattack rather than running away.
Even though Choi Hyun-seok conveyed these thoughts, Park Hyun-ah strongly insisted that he leave the place.
“Just follow me! I’ll explain as we go.” “Understood, Rachel! You stop playing around and follow me!”
“Yes!”
Choi Hyun-seok had no choice but to run after Park Hyun-ah.
Rachel, who had been playing around with casting spells at the knights and priests, also settled down on the shoulder of Choi Hyeon-seok, her designated seat.
“Warrior Unit 1! Let’s go!”
***
Park Hyun-ah began to explain as she quickly left the battlefield.
“Do you know the Legendary Trio in Gatren?” “Isn’t that the Legendary Trio with that Kinley or something woman as the leader?” “Yes. They’re right behind us.” “If that’s the case, shouldn’t you and I be able to handle them together?”
Choi Hyun-seok had a brief fight with Kinley.
It was certainly a formidable opponent, but it didn’t seem like it would be unbeatable.
If you join forces with Park Hyun-ah, you could easily have a go at the legendary trio.
“Well, if there are three of them, then we have a good chance. But how many enemies do you think will get caught here?”
Choi Hyun-seok felt the magical power and divine power coming from all directions, but then gave up.
As Park Hyun-ah said, there were too many enemies.
“It’s not just a lot. What you feel right now is only a small part. If you stay in one place, they’ll keep coming through the teleportation gate.” “That’s definitely a problem.”
It is difficult to have enemies that are constantly replenished.
No matter how strong this person is, there is a limit to his physical strength and magical power.
A situation where even spatial movement is blocked due to the station master.
If you keep fighting endlessly, you will eventually lose your strength.
If you get surrounded when your stamina is low, that’s the end.
“There is another problem.”
“What else is left?” “This is actually the biggest problem.”
For a moment, Park Hyun-ah’s expression hardened.
“Do you remember the warrior unit we fought before?” “Those doll-like guys?” “Yeah. You never know when that warrior unit will show up. If we run into them, it’ll be really hard.” “Yeah. Those guys were pretty strong, huh?”
The warrior squad.
On the battlefield, he was called an iron ghost, but Choi Hyun-seok mostly called him a doll.
Choi Hyun-seok also knows well how strong their military power is.
Because I almost died fighting those guys in front of the Demon King’s Castle.
If Park Hyun-ah hadn’t woken up at that time, she would have been beaten by those guys.
But now things are different.
She and Park Hyun-ah have become much stronger than before.
“Now that we’ve gotten stronger, wouldn’t it be easy to win if we fight again?” “Would they have been playing around while we were getting stronger? On the contrary, they’ve grown even faster than we have. They’ve been wallowing in the battlefield for the past year.”
“aha…”
It’s been almost a year since I last encountered them.
They probably weren’t just playing around during that time.
You must have leveled up considerably while fighting the Demon King’s army.
“I’ve encountered them before, and I’m not kidding. I rank the Warriors above the Legendary Trio.” “That strong?”
No matter how strong the warrior unit is, it’s above the top three legendaries.
It was hard to believe, but Park Hyun-ah’s expression was serious.
“A fraudulent level of linked magic. Not only is it capable of dealing with individual strength, but it is also effective against close combat, which is the weakness of magic units. And the number of enemies is also enormous. Just four thousand have been confirmed. I guarantee it, even the old snouts will have a hard time with this level.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s expression became serious.
If we are talking about the old snout, we would probably be talking about Hemis before it became weak.
How strong that Hemis is can be seen when we recall her past fight against 2nd Corps Commander Lotak.
‘Even thinking about it now, it’s ridiculous. And it wasn’t even my full power.’
At that time, Rotak showed tremendous dancing skills.
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok’s level was lower than it is now, but it was so long ago that I’m not sure.
It seems that even if the current Choi Hyun-seok were to fight, it would be impossible to guarantee that he would win.
Hemis played with such a Rotak.
‘When I think about it again, he really is a monster.’
Choi Hyun-seok suddenly became curious.
Just a hypothesis, but what would happen if Hemis before she became weak, herself now, and Park Hyun-ah fought?
“If me and my older sister were to fight Hemis in his prime, who do you think would win?” “If we were to fight 2 on 1… the odds of winning would be around 40% at best.” “Is that all?” “No. After thinking about it again, it’s less than 30%. It can’t be more than that.”
Park Hyun-ah said in a firm voice.
“30%… That’s a lot more severe than I expected.” “You wouldn’t know since you haven’t tried it. That bitch is a real monster. If she had wanted to, she would have eaten up the Demon King and everything a long time ago.” “Hmm, why did you get defeated by Gatren when you were at that level?” “Because you fell into a trap prepared by Gatren’s best elites at the time. If you hadn’t fallen into a trap and just fought her, you wouldn’t have lost so much.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded slowly.
Even the mighty Hemis eventually fell into a trap and was defeated.
A battlefield that was prepared to that extent was a terrifying thing.
I was reminded once again that just because I’ve gotten stronger doesn’t mean I should just go out and do it, but that I need to be even more careful.
“Anyway, the point is this. The warrior force will be strong enough to make even that monstrous mouth tense up. So don’t show off and be a little more careful.”
“yep.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded and looked around.
I no longer felt any divine or magical power.
As we talked, it seemed like we had completely left the battlefield.
“The stationmaster has disappeared too.”
As the distance increased, the enemy’s field of attack became unable to reach them.
From here, you can escape using teleportation magic.
“Okay. Let’s get going.”
Park Hyun-ah used teleportation magic to take Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel to the hideout.
***
“The traces were cut off here. The reverberations of the magical energy indicate that teleportation magic was used.” “Track the coordinates immediately.”
“yes.”
Kinley Fusel gave the order and turned around, kicking the ground while cursing.
“shit!”
I lost Park Hyun-ah again.
How many failures have there been?
No matter how much you prepare, you can’t catch it.
This time in particular, I had no choice but to let it go.
Because an unexpected intruder intervened.
“Choi Hyun-seok. Things got more complicated because of that guy.”
Choi Hyun-seok appears after being stuck in an unknown place.
He’s a problem too.
Kinley, who has only briefly mixed his hands and feet, knows well how dangerous the bastard is.
“It’s true that Park Hyun-ah is a threat, but that guy is no less.”
Clearly, Park Hyun-ah is a dangerous enemy.
The continent’s highest level of magical skill.
The amount of magical power that supports him is endless.
His close combat abilities are also among the best in legend.
The head is also smart, so it knows its strengths and limitations clearly and moves accurately.
Choi Hyun-seok’s level of danger was not inferior at all to that of Park Hyun-ah.
“No, from our perspective, Choi Hyun-seok is more dangerous than Park Hyun-ah. His close-range combat ability far surpasses Park Hyun-ah’s.”
In some ways, Choi Hyun-seok was much more dangerous than Park Hyun-ah.
In terms of close combat ability alone, Choi Hyun-seok overwhelmed Park Hyun-ah.
If Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah were to work together, they would perfectly complement each other’s slight weaknesses.
Needless to say, Kinley and his colleagues are now in a much more dangerous situation than before.
“This can’t go on. We have to do something.”
Kinley, who had been pondering, got up from his seat.
Geling and Asmund, who had been talking together, looked at her.
“Kinley. Where are you going?”
“Gratium.”
“Why the capital?”
Kinley clenched his fist.
“I need to meet the Pope and have a talk.”
