Episode 25
The 3rd Army Corps has hundreds of thousands of Demon King’s troops assigned to it.
Legion Commander Hemis is the supreme commander at the top.
What would happen if she, like that, went to the barracks filled with ordinary soldiers without warning?
“Heh, heh, heh, Hemis!”
The barracks were in an uproar as if a beehive had been stirred by Hemis’s sudden visit.
“Everyone, just ignore the distractions and do your work. Even so, there’s nothing to do but eat.”
It’s a pretty sharp tone.
But no one shows any sign of being offended.
Because it wasn’t wrong in the first place.
“Where is Kurken?”
Hemis found Kurken, Choi Hyun-seok’s duel opponent.
“Here it is! Commander!” “Oh, you were training?”
“yes!”
Kurken was drenched in sweat.
“Since the day the commander gave me the opportunity! I have devoted myself to training without a single day of rest!”
Kurken spoke in a tone that was unusual for an orc.
“Huh~ You’ve definitely gotten stronger since then.”
It wasn’t just Choi Hyun-seok who improved over the past month.
Kurken had also become considerably stronger than before.
‘I barely made it over the wall.’
Growth always has its moments of stagnation.
This is something like an inevitability that all beings cannot avoid.
The same was true for the Kurken Hemis saw.
When Kurken was chosen as Choi Hyun-seok’s duel opponent, he was blocked by a wall.
It seemed like he had found a way to break through the wall through his recent arduous training.
‘It’s quite special, but… this isn’t enough.’
Hemis’s huge lips twisted.
Compared to Choi Hyun-seok, Kurken is much stronger.
No matter how much Choi Hyun-seok has become stronger recently, the gap between the two is still large.
Still, Hemis had a hard time predicting Kurken’s victory.
‘Raidrun is a special guy. He’ll definitely use whatever means necessary to make it so that Choi Hyun-seok can win.’
Below the rank of corps commander, Hemis, is the division commander.
And the closest thing to that division commander is Raidrun.
In other words, he can be said to be one of the ten strongest within the 3rd Army, which consists of hundreds of thousands of demons.
‘Especially if you look at Raidrun’s specialty, Boxing, it’s no different from the best.’
The most primitive fight.
In boxing, where he fights with his hands and feet, Raidrun shows off his superior side.
Such a raider guides Choi Hyeon-seok, a warrior with outstanding talent.
No matter what happened, it wasn’t strange.
So Hemis needed to make Kurken stronger.
For a more fun board.
“Kurken. What did I promise to give you if you win this duel?” “You said you’d let me eat delicious meat until I die!” “Yes. That’s right. But…”
Hemis placed a hand on Kurken’s shoulder.
“At this rate, it looks like it’ll be hard to eat meat forever?” “Commander! I’m confident I can tear that human to pieces in an instant!”
A panicked Kurken shouted.
“That’s your opinion.”
In that moment, a chill dripped from Hemis’ voice.
Kurken trembled as he realized his mistake.
His large muscles were trembling pitifully.
“That’s what I mean.”
Suddenly Hemis’ voice brightened.
His mouth was split horizontally, which probably meant he was laughing.
“Kurken. I will give you strength.”
“Strength… you mean?”
Kurken rolled his eyes here and there.
You’re suddenly giving me strength.
It was hard to tell what the intention was.
“Okay. I’ll share my magic. Can you accept it?” “The Commander’s magic…”
Magic power that has been altered by the demon race.
To put it simply, it’s a demon tribe
You could call it dedicated horsepower.
If someone as strong as Hemis were to inject magic into Kurken, he would be able to become stronger in an instant.
The question is whether it can be endured.
The moment you are exposed to Hemis’s magic, there is a high probability that you will go crazy or your body will explode.
That means you have to risk your life.
“What do you think? Will you do it?”
Hemis’ lips approached Kurken’s ear.

“The choice is yours.”
A voice whispering softly.
Kurken swallowed hard.
‘The choice is mine…?’
Actually, he knows it too.
This is coercion.
The choice Kurken had to make was already decided.
“I will…”
***
Leaving Hemis’ office, Raidran was lost in thought.
‘There is already a considerable amount of magical power dormant within Choi Hyun-seok’s body.’
All living things have magical powers.
However, Choi Hyun-seok went beyond that level.
If we have to compare, it is a magical power comparable to that of a low-level human knight.
The problem is that Choi Hyun-seok has that much magical power, but he doesn’t know how to use it at all.
‘Well, that’s not strange.’
This is ultra-fast growth that occurred in just one month.
It is understandable that the parties involved cannot keep up with the pace of growth.
‘Hmm… How can I make Choi Hyun-seok use his magic power?’
Raidrun’s eyebrows furrowed.
There are 4 days left until the duel.
I had to use whatever means necessary to make it so that Choi Hyun-seok could use his magic powers.
‘I guess I’ll have to resort to drastic measures.’
There is only one way to awaken dormant magic power in a short period of time.
You just need to use your magic power to strike Choi Hyun-seok.
If you repeat this, Choi Hyun-seok’s survival instinct will naturally draw out magic power.
‘I guess I need to concentrate for the first time in a while.’
It’s simple to explain in words, but putting it into practice is a whole other matter.
Preventing an opponent who cannot use magic power from dying by striking them with magic power.
This required near-mysterious magical control and tempo adjustment.
It was a method that would have been unimaginable if it hadn’t been for Raidrun.
‘Still, the problem remains.’
Up until this point, it’s a problem, but there’s an even bigger problem.
This is Choi Hyun-seok’s talent.
No matter how exquisitely Raidrun induces magical power, it is useless if the person in question lacks talent.
If you don’t have talent, no matter how many days you beat it, the magic power won’t move at all.
‘I have no choice but to trust Choi Hyun-seok…’
There is no other solution here.
The only answer was to simply trust Choi Hyun-seok and act accordingly.
“Hmm… have we arrived?”
As he continued his thoughts, Raidran arrived at his destination.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was dragged in without even knowing English, made a puzzled expression.
“Where is this?” “This is my personal parade ground.” “Yes? Is there such a thing as a personal parade ground?” “The corps commander specially prepared one.”
“okay!”
Choi Hyeon-seok was amazed as he looked at the wide parade ground.
It was surprising that a parade ground of this size was being used by an individual, especially at the corps headquarters.
“But, Lord Raidrun. Why did you come here?” “I will teach you how to use magic.”
“Ah! Thank you!”
Choi Hyun-seok said with a smile.
Seeing her smiling brightly without knowing what would happen next made my heart ache for some reason.
‘Ahem…! I need to calm down.’
Choi Hyun-seok cannot defeat Orc Kurken without using magic power.
If you lose, a pain worse than death awaits you.
‘Choi Hyun-seok. If you want to live, you have to use your magic.’
Raidran approached Choi Hyun-seok with tears in his eyes.
“Choi Hyun-seok. Bite down on your wisdom teeth.”
“yes?”
“The fastest way to learn is to get hit.”
Raidrun’s training has begun.
***
Raidrun lightly kicked the ground.
A huge amount of dust rose from the floor.
‘Coming…!’
At the same time as I thought about it, Raidrun was already right in front of me.
Raidrun extended his fist.
‘We have to stop it.’
Choi Hyun-seok raised his arm and guarded.
The fist and arm lightly collide.
Bam.
But the results were not light.
“Crash!”
Choi Hyun-seok flew away like a cannonball, spitting out blood.
“Choi Hyun-seok. If you don’t block it with magic power, you’ll die.”
Raidrun didn’t stop.
I ran quickly and caught up with Choi Hyun-seok, who was flying away in an instant.
“You already have a considerable amount of magical power within you. Bring it out.”
Kick while talking.
Choi Hyun-seok instinctively raised his arms to protect his torso, but it was no use.
“Ugh!”
It feels like every bone in my body is breaking.
Raidrun didn’t stop.
“It takes a long time to learn to control magic with will. Surrender to your instincts and use magic. Then, you will be able to move naturally according to your will.”
Choi Hyun-seok was going crazy.
You’ve been acting like that since a while ago.
He suddenly blows himself up and tells me to use my magic power.
Otherwise you’ll die.
I don’t know how many times I’ve crossed this large parade ground.
‘Honestly, it’s a wonder my body can still move.’
It didn’t feel strange even if all the bones in my body were shattered.
But strangely enough, the body moved.
Raidrun never inflicted fatal injuries.
They just beat you up so much that you feel like you’re ‘going to die’.
“Your concentration is scattered. Are you still fit to fight?”
“No…!”
Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t answer.
Before I knew it, the leg of Raidrun that had flown in was hitting my back.
“Khaha!”
He vomited blood again.
‘It really hurts so f*cking much…’
Is this what it feels like to confront an adult in the body of a child?
No, it’s more than that.
It was so overwhelming that I couldn’t even guess what to do.
Red blood followed the path Choi Hyun-seok took as he flew.
“Don’t think about it. You have to instinctively use your magic to block it.”
Raidrun’s voice pierces my ears.
“Me too… I want to do that… Kukuk!”
Choi Hyun-seok was lying face down on the training ground, coughing up blood.
“If you don’t use your magic power here and now, you’ll lose to Kurken. You don’t need me to tell you what happens after that, do you?”
“Ugh… Ugh…!”
Choi Hyun-seok was out of breath.
I want to answer, but I don’t have the strength.
I just think about it.
‘I lost the duel…’
What happens if you lose a duel?
I know the rest.
“I guarantee you that you will know, deep down, what it feels like to want to die.”
Hemis said.
If you lose the duel, I’ll make you want to die instead.
She will definitely keep her word.
“Choi Hyun-seok. I guarantee you that if you lose the duel, it would be better for you to die here.”
Raidrun also seemed to be well aware of this fact.
“So if you don’t want to die, use magic.”
Raidrun moves again.
Shush!
Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t even tell where he was going.
Now I don’t have the strength to lift a finger.
The side was exposed and defenseless.
“Have you given up on guarding?” Bam!
A crazy pain surged through my side.
A groan escapes me without me realizing it.
“Ugh!”
Flew across the sky.
It looks like a slow-motion video of Raidrun looking up at himself.
‘It really hurts so bad…’
This time it’s certain.
My ribs are broken.
‘I think about three generations have gone out?’
I’m not sure.
Maybe the entire left rib cage was shattered.
Raidrun flew up without stopping, kicking the ground.
‘You’re continuing in this situation…? Don’t you know what moderation means…?’
At that moment, I felt a surge of anger.
‘You’re really going to die, you little brat!’
I could tell instinctively.
If I get hit just a little more, I’ll really die.
He’s already been hit enough times that it wouldn’t be strange for a normal human to die dozens of times.
‘If you’re going to help, you should at least explain it properly… How can you beat someone up like this and then kill them?!’
I felt wronged and angry.
‘Still a blond nobleman
Youngae! I’ve never seen a kid like a rabbit…’
What about the mansion of old age? It’s like living in the house of the commander’s pet dog.
‘It can’t go on like this…’
That moment when my consciousness gradually became blurred.
‘See…?’
Why is that?
Raidrun’s movements, which had not been seen until now, suddenly came into clear view.
A slowly approaching cow head.
The guy clenches both his hands tightly.
I will strike my own back.
‘If it hits there, it’ll stick to the floor.’
It will fall down like a shot and crash into the parade ground.
Then you really die.
‘f*ck… Is it magic or something? Please move…’
As soon as I thought that, Raidrun’s fist struck my back.
Kwajik!
Choi Hyun-seok, who was hit by a punch, fell to the ground at an incredible speed.
Wedge!
A training ground that gets closer in real time.
Choi Hyun-seok closed his eyes tightly.
‘Please move…!’
With a final prayer.
The magical power that had been dormant within his body began to stir.
