Episode 249
During a conversation with Emperor Lambert.
There was an incident where Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah stopped at the same time.
The warrior quest has been activated.
The two exchanged glances and realized that the quest before them had been activated for both of them.
★☆★☆ Warrior Quest! ★☆★☆
This is a crisis for humanity!
Ta-da!
It’s the turn of the legendary warrior Choi Hyun-seok!
Drive out the evil Gatren and Deusis and bring peace to the continent!
· Objective: Stop the Pope’s plan ‘Imperial Devotion’ · Reward: A large amount of experience and 200,000 warrior points
The quest was simple.
It will stop the Empire’s devotion.
The reward is 200,000 warrior points.
Actually, at this point, warrior points weren’t really necessary.
Choi Hyun-seok still had some points to spare, and Park Hyun-ah had some left over from the beginning.
Rather than points, the large amount of experience that comes with it is the key.
Since experience points are generally proportional to reward points, you will probably be able to level up incredibly quickly.
‘Are we finally getting to the point?’ ‘f*ck… this was so f*cking long.’
The two who saw the quest contents instinctively felt it.
That their life as warriors was now coming to an end.
“So. How are we going to defeat them?”
Emperor Lambert asked.
Park Hyun-ah’s last words were about ‘defeating the villain like a hero’.
“For now, I’ll buy time. Hold out as long as I can. In the meantime, I’ll dig as deep as I can into the magic of that empire’s devotion.”
“What after that?”
“When you drag it out like that and decide you can’t stand it any longer…”
Park Hyun-ah and Choi Hyun-seok looked at each other.
The two nodded and Choi Hyun-seok answered.
“Please send us to the capital of Gatren.”
***
Pope Orban IV called on the Dracaen Empire to negotiate under duress.
Kill Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah.
Otherwise the continent will perish.
It’s already been two weeks since I told you that.
“Still no contact?” “I’m sorry. The Dracaen side is asking for time.” “Give me time? Even at this very moment, they are rampaging through the sacred ground. How much longer must we wait?”
For two weeks, Drasen did nothing but ask for time.
Meanwhile, Park Hyun-ah and Choi Hyun-seok were still running wild.
The Pope’s patience is gradually reaching its limit.
“We can’t wait any longer. Notify the Dracaen side. Tomorrow. If they don’t give us an answer by then, we’ll put our plan into action immediately.”
Just then someone knocked on the door from outside.
The Pope sighed and said.
“What’s going on?”
“This is a letter from the Dracaen Empire.”
A letter arrived from the Dracaen Empire.
It was exquisite timing, as if he knew that the Pope’s patience would run out here.
The Pope was inwardly displeased, but he could not help but check the letter.
He checked the contents right away.
Three days later.
I will send Park Hyun-ah and Choi Hyun-seok to the capital city of Gratiam.
Drassen’s magic corps also moves as bait.
Take care of everything at Gatren.
This letter will soon disappear.
After reading the contents, the Pope calmly threw the letter down.
The subjects were momentarily confused as they looked at the letters rolling on the floor.
Hwaruk-!
The letter was immediately engulfed in flames and was consumed in an instant.
“You, you outrageous bastards! How dare you tamper with a letter that His Majesty is about to receive!” “That’s not it. It was a measure taken to keep it confidential, so don’t worry about it.” “I’m sorry! Because I didn’t check it properly, His Majesty’s body could have been damaged…” “Will you take responsibility?”
The Pope interrupted in a flat voice.
The subject who had been displaying excessive loyalty and showmanship immediately shut his mouth.
“I’m joking. Go away.”
Get rid of the useless servants.
The Pope was lost in thought as he reviewed the contents of the letter.
‘There is no problem with the content itself. The request was to pass two in the first place.’
I would have liked to have Drasen deal with them both, but that was impossible.
There is no way that the arrogant Dracen would accept such an outrageous request.
If you push too hard, it could actually have the opposite effect.
So the best compromise is to pass both.

It took some time, but eventually the Dracaen Empire accepted the request and decided to send the two.
With the magic corps, the pride of Draen.
‘The Magic Legion was a decoy to deceive them. They probably thought it was a plan to attack Gatren.’
In the letter, Drasen also asked that the Magic Legion be dealt with.
It seemed like he wanted to clean things up neatly so that there would be no aftereffects.
‘I doubt he’d sacrifice his precious magic list. It’s probably a legion of clones.’
Clones are the essence of magic and magical engineering.
Users can possess and control a clone that looks exactly like them.
If he really is a clone, Dracaen can complete this operation without any damage.
‘However, there is a high possibility that Park Hyun-ah will notice the clone.’
Would Park Hyun-ah, one of the best magicians on the continent, not even notice the clones?
If you notice, Park Hyun-ah will come to Gratiam even though she knows that the unit she’s with is a clone.
No, maybe this whole thing is a deception.
Even though they said they would come to the capital, they might attack the empire’s main strongholds while the troops are gathered in the capital.
My head became more and more complicated.
“Phew… I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
The Pope stopped worrying.
It’s not a problem that can be solved by worrying about it any more.
Now we can only believe that the enemy is coming to the capital Gratia.
What if this was a lie and was actually a deception operation?
‘At that time, everything could be swept away.’
That’s when the continent will be finished.
I would like to avoid using Imperial Devotion as much as possible.
Rather than seeing Gatren destroyed, it would be better to destroy the entire continent.
“Three days later. They’ll be here. Until then, finish your defenses.”
The Pope, having made his decision, began to move in earnest.
Three days was just the right amount of time to set the perfect trap.
At the same time, the Pope did not forget to install safety devices.
“And… contact each of the great temples. Be prepared to rush to the Imperial Devotion at any time.”
If the enemy broke their promise and showed signs of attacking, then that was the moment to turn everything upside down.
***
Park Hyun-ah, who had packed her bags, looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
“Are you ready?”
“It ended a long time ago.”
The two will now head to Gratiam, the capital of the Holy Empire of Gatren.
We are going to put an end to a war that has been going on for a long time.
“Will I be able to see the Pope’s face if I go?” “Well, I don’t think I will be able to. What’s the point of looking at an old man’s face anyway?” “I’m just curious.” “Well, I’d like to see it before I lose it. I’m really curious to see what kind of waiting table he’s in.”
Before I die, I want to see the Pope’s face one last time.
If possible, it would be better if you could hit it once.
Choi Hyun-seok laughed.
“Who is going to die?” “We. We’re going to die.”
“I’m not going to die.”
Things are different now.
We will put in all our efforts to make perfect preparations.
It is clear that they have prepared a trap that even Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah cannot escape.
“Are you sure?”
“of course.”
“Instead of just surviving, you should first think about how to survive for an hour.” “Just survive for an hour. Once the time is up, you’ll get out.”
“Easier said than done.”
Moreover, this operation does not involve running away immediately after the attack.
You must last at least one hour on the battlefield.
While Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah are fighting in the capital city of Gratiam, the Dracaen Empire is planning to move and destroy the great temples in various places.
“It is impossible to simply destroy the Great Hall. It would be a disaster if the enemies cast magic before it is destroyed.” “Then what should we do?”
“You will be the bait and buy us time. One hour. If you can hold out in the Imperial Capital for just one hour, we will disable as many of the Great Temples as possible.”
It’s simple logic.
The enemy still doesn’t 100% trust what this says.
Even now, I’m still very tense, ready to cast my magic at any time.
So, first, throw your body at the enemy as he intended.
Afterwards, at an unexpected point, the Dracaen Empire moved quickly and planned to destroy the Great Temple, which was the stronghold of the ‘Imperial Devotion’.
This is also why I’ve been wasting my time for the past two weeks.
It took a considerable amount of time to figure out and analyze the enemy’s magic and devise a plan on how to stop it.
“Are you ready to go too?”
“yes.”
The man wearing the robe over his head spoke in response to Park Hyun-ah’s question.
He is the commander of the 1st Drassen Magical Corps.
The 1st Magical Corps of 1,000 men will be deployed for this operation.
The Magic Troops will act as bait while also supporting Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah on the battlefield.
Even though it’s a clone, it can’t even display half of its original strength.
As it is called the Dracaen Magic Corps, it would be more helpful than nothing.
“Then let’s go!”
“Let’s go!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah start off strongly at the front.
They looked too bright for someone who was about to die.
***
“One hour until arrival at Gratiam. Please be ready.”
The magic troop commander said.
The party is currently heading to the capital of Gatren, Gratiam.
First of all, we needed to appear to be a special forces unit moving secretly to surprise the enemy, so we moved slowly and hid our presence as much as possible.
“Sister.”
While moving.
Choi Hyun-seok called Park Hyun-ah.
“why.”
“If you survive, what will you do next?” “What are you talking about all of a sudden?” “I just wonder what you’ll do when everything is over and you have nothing left to do as a warrior.”
Park Hyun-ah said after a brief moment of thought.
“Well. Haven’t you thought about it?” “Think about it now. You can either become rich and live a luxurious life. Or you can go back to Earth. Isn’t that the case?” “Is it even possible to go back to Earth?” “You’re a god, so you wouldn’t even do that.”
“That’s true.”
Park Hyun-ah nodded without realizing it.
Now that I’ve brought you here, there’s no way you can’t go back there.
“Earth…”
More than 15 years have passed since Park Hyun-ah came here.
How would the Earth have changed?
How much time has passed?
From talking to the warriors, I know that the flow of time here is different from that on Earth.
Although it is not exact, it is certain that this world is moving at least three times faster than Earth on a yearly basis.
‘Maybe it’s been five years at most. Maybe it’s been less than that.’
Although the five year difference was significant, it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t adapt.
If only I could really go back to Earth, I could enjoy my normal life again.
‘No, is that really so…’
Park Hyun-ah looked at her hands.
Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of drops of blood soaked these hands.
Even the most vicious criminal would not have killed a person like this.
By Earth’s standards, he was not only a murderer, he was Satan himself.
Park Hyun-ah smiled bitterly and looked back at Choi Hyun-seok.
“I still don’t know.”
“Is that so?”
“And what about you?”
“yes?”
“When it’s all over, what are you going to do?”
“Hmm…”
Choi Hyun-seok stroked his chin and fell into thought.
At that moment, Rachel suddenly appeared and hit Choi Hyun-seok in the chest.
“Warrior! You should live happily with Rachel!” “Huh? What do you mean?”
Choi Hyun-seok asked back with an expression that was so absurd that it was beyond belief.
Rachel opened her eyes sharply, placed her hands on her hips, and shouted.
“What are you talking about!? Were you planning on abandoning Rachel!?” “Of course! Then were you planning on following her around for the rest of your life!?”
“of course!”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about!?” “Ha! Hero! You’ve been defiling me like this!” “Wait a minute. Defiling me? Let’s not say things that could be misunderstood.”
Despite Choi Hyun-seok’s dissuasion, Rachel did not stop.
“You’re sick of it now, aren’t you!? You’ve had enough of playing around, aren’t you!? Sir! Were you really such a worthless person!?” “Stop talking nonsense!” “Trash! The end of humanity! A womanizing psychopath!” “This sociopathic fairy…!”
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed Rachel and shook her.
Rachel clung to Choi Hyun-seok and cursed him.
Park Hyun-ah snickered as she watched the two screaming loudly.
‘I don’t know if there will be a next time, but if I were given the chance…’
I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hang out with those two.
At least you won’t be bored.
