Episode 26
‘There’s something strange about Choi Hyun-seok.’
Raidrun thought.
An hour has passed since the beating in the name of education began.
Meanwhile, Raidrun observed Choi Hyun-seok’s movements closely.
‘Clearly, Choi Hyun-seok’s physical abilities are not that great.’
Choi Hyun-seok has become stronger than before.
But objectively speaking, they are still considered weak.
If you go out into the battlefield right now, there are so many people stronger than Choi Hyun-seok that you’ll be able to kick them.
‘But your movements and reactions look like those of a knight who has been training for a long time.’
What Raidrun finds strange is Choi Hyun-seok’s fighting sense.
Body balance. Movement. Reactions, etc.
The level of everything related to combat was extremely high.
Sometimes, he even showed great sense that impressed Raidrun.
‘What I felt on the first day was not an illusion.’
Raidrun recalled their first meeting.
The kick that Choi Hyun-seok delivered at that time.
Raidrun had no choice but to helplessly allow the attack.
Even though I was defenseless, I thought it was strange.
Now I know why.
‘To conclude, Choi Hyun-seok’s physical ability cannot keep up with his mental ability.’
To put it simply, it’s like this.
Choi Hyun-seok’s software is excellent.
No, it’s not just excellent, it’s top-notch enough to make even Raidrun admire it.
But the hardware doesn’t support it.
In other words, it means that you are not able to fully utilize your abilities because your body is weak.
‘This is something that could never happen.’
Generally, combat sense comes from rich experience.
The more such experiences a warrior goes through, the stronger his body becomes.
It means that something so out of balance between body and mind does not happen.
Why is that?
There is a secret here.
The fact is that Choi Hyun-seok was a fighting champion before becoming a warrior.
When I was on Earth.
Choi Hyun-seok, a former champion of the world’s largest fighting league, was called the strongest man in the world.
Natural talent. Constant effort.
And training methods accompanied by 21st century technology pushed his movements to the limit.
Thanks to this, Choi Hyun-seok, who possessed outstanding physical abilities and senses, was able to become the strongest among ‘Earthlings’.
But this place is different.
The mysterious power called magic.
Magic power allows humans to achieve powers far beyond their limits.
Superhumans and heroes that you only see in movies actually exist in this world.
So there was an unbridgeable gap between Earth and this world.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had just recently come into contact with magic power, was unable to close the gap.
Anyway, Raidrun realized once again that his thoughts were right.
‘Choi Hyun-seok can become stronger.’
All it takes is time.
A time for him to learn magical powers and enhance his physical abilities.
If he can secure just that, Choi Hyun-seok will be able to become much stronger than Commander Hemis expects.
‘To do that, I need to use my magic power as quickly as possible.’
No matter what your future growth potential is, it’s useless if you die now.
Raidrun had to make Choi Hyun-seok handle magic power as quickly as possible.
‘It’s impossible to learn it in one day. But at least I can somehow make it possible to use magical power within three days.’
A human who didn’t know anything about magic can use magic in just 3 days?
This is actually close to impossible.
But it didn’t matter whether it was possible or not.
Now was the time to make the impossible possible.
“Choi Hyun-seok. If you don’t want to die, use your magic.”
Raidrun moved again.
Choi Hyun-seok, who is so exhausted, doesn’t seem to have the strength to move even a finger.
But it can’t be stopped.
As Choi Hyun-seok’s life is in danger, the possibility of magical powers moving increases.
“Have you given up on guarding?”
He kicked her exposed side.
“Ugh!”
Choi Hyun-seok flew into the sky with a groan.
For a moment, Raidrun’s eyes lit up.
‘The magic moved…?’

Even though it was just a little bit, I could feel the magic power within Choi Hyun-seok stirring.
Raidran swallowed a laugh without realizing it.
‘Not even a day, but an hour…’
It occurred to me that maybe Choi Hyun-seok was more of a monster than I thought.
Taat!
Raidrun kicked the ground and ran.
Choi Hyun-seok is still flying.
‘Let’s bring it down like this.’
I was thinking of shooting down the flying Choi Hyun-seok.
If Choi Hyun-seok can’t use his magic this time, he’ll die.
But Raidrun was sure.
He can do it.
Kwajik!
Choi Hyun-seok, who was hit by a punch, falls to the ground at incredible speed.
Iron fist!
A terrible sound was heard as Choi Hyun-seok collided with the floor.
It was a situation where you would clearly think he was dead, but Raidran laughed instead.
He approached Choi Hyun-seok.
“Are you okay?”
“Coolook! Coolook…!”
Choi Hyun-seok coughed up blood.
“How… are you alive…” “You succeeded in moving the magic. Did you know?” “The prayer worked… Hehe…”
Choi Hyun-seok laughed heartily like he had lost his mind.
Raidrun looked at Choi Hyun-seok with a pleased face.
“Wow, you’re great. I’m proud of you!”
It was my honest feeling.
I didn’t think Choi Hyun-seok could move his magic this quickly.
Just because you push them to the limit doesn’t mean you can use all your magical powers.
“It’s all thanks to the guidance of the wonderful… Lord Raidrun…”
Choi Hyun-seok said in a trembling voice.
It was truly Choi Hyun-seok-like for him to flatter others even while he was dying.
“Ahem…!”
In that moment, Raidrun’s large eyes became moist.
He turned his head away for a moment, wiped his eyes, and then came back.
“At this rate of growth, you should be able to defeat Kurken for sure…” “I’m sorry, but… I can’t breathe… gasp…” “Oh, it looks like your lungs are damaged from the broken bone. I’ll treat you right now.”
Raidrun reached out.
The dense magical energy of the highest level demon flowed out from his thick hands.
‘Just wait. I’ll wake you up right away.’
A simple spell to heal wounds.
With his magical power, he could heal wounds of this level in an instant.
However, the result was completely unexpected.
“Kkaaaaaaah!”
Choi Hyun-seok screamed.
The magic that touched him was causing a fierce rejection reaction.
Raidrun quickly realized his mistake.
‘Oh no! Choi Hyun-seok was human!’
I had forgotten that he was human and not a demon.
To be honest, my appearance was not inferior to that of any other demon.
‘This is a big deal!’
The demon tribe uses magical power by converting it into magic.
And to humans, magic is like poison.
No matter how much healing magic it was, humans and demons were fundamentally different, so there was nothing that could be done.
“Take it…!”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes fluttered and then rolled back in.
“Choi Hyun-seok! Come to your senses!”
“Ugh, ugh…”
Choi Hyun-seok doesn’t move.
A tear flowed down from Raidran’s round eyes.
“Ah, no! Choi Hyunseo, oh my!”
***
Demon King’s Army 3rd Corps Headquarters.
Commonly known as the Black Giant, it is one of the most important strategic points for the Demon King’s army.
In the room located deepest within such a black giant.
There, strangely enough, was a human female alone.
Long silver hair that reaches down to her waist.
Her skin is pure white and her eyes are silver, just like her hair.
The well-sculpted facial features were enough to elicit exclamations of admiration just by looking at them.
The service also has a dazzling beauty.
For some reason her pupils were worn like those of a dead fish.
A face completely devoid of life.
The woman sat expressionless, like a doll.
Her name is Abelson Marriott.
She is the next saintess of the Holy Empire Gatren.
He had been held captive deep within this black giant since being kidnapped by Raidrun some time ago.
The status of the next saintess is a useful bargaining chip for the Demon King’s army.
That’s why Commander Hemis took care to ensure that she could live comfortably.
“…”
Only silence hung over her room.
Abelson sat quietly without saying a word.
I don’t even pray to God.
The condition for becoming a saint is to be able to hear the voice of God.
She too can hear the voice of God, but she does not seek God in this place.
Because I knew it was all useless anyway.
thud!
Just then the door opened wide and someone barged in.
Abelson looked at the intruder with a blank expression.
‘Raid Run.’
Red Nightmare Raidrun.
famous high-ranking demon
was one of them.
While most high-ranking demons do not directly participate in battle, he was well known for having fought on the front lines for quite some time.
“Ugh! Ugh…! Saintess!”
Raidran was out of breath, perhaps because he had come running in a hurry.
Abelson looked at the anxious face and wondered.
‘What’s going on?’
Red Nightmare Raidrun is known to have no emotional changes.
Raidrun slaughters countless humans on the battlefield.
He showed no emotion even when he killed children and women.
Just swing your fist and smash their heads together fairly.
There is no emotion in that action.
It’s like a machine that carries out orders.
On the day he was kidnapped, Raidrun had also slaughtered high-ranking knights without expression.
“Follow me.”
I still can’t forget the sight of him holding out his blood-soaked hand and speaking dryly.
That Raidrun was now fidgeting like a cow that had run out of fodder.
“Yes, there is something you have to do!”
“What is that…?”
Instead of answering, Raidran immediately surrounded Abelson.
“Whoa!?”
For the first time, a look of confusion crossed Abelson’s face.
“There’s a person who needs to be treated! I don’t have time, so I’ll bring him there myself.” “What the…, Gyaaaaah!”
Raidrun suddenly started running.
***
My head hurt so much it felt like it was going to split open.
Choi Hyun-seok slowly recalled his memories.
The last moment.
I remember getting hit by Raidrun and being knocked to the ground.
‘Raidrun said he would cure me… and I was in excruciating pain.’
That was the extent of my memory.
‘What the hell was that little brat doing!?’
He did something crazy like injecting magic into a human.
Choi Hyun-seok, who didn’t know the details of the situation, could do nothing but curse Raidrun.
‘I’m not dead, am I…?’
Choi Hyun-seok carefully opened his eyes.
He was confident in his thoughts.
‘He’s dead after all.’
There was an angel before my eyes.
An angel with silver hair and silver eyes.
The angel, who was reaching out to him with an expressionless face, said nothing.
But Choi Hyun-seok seemed to be telling her that she had worked hard for him.
A warm feeling was seeping into my body.
Choi Hyun-seok opened his mouth.
“Angel. I will never do something this crazy again. Do you know what I mean? I will quit being a warrior.”
“…”
The angel did not answer.
Choi Hyun-seok continued speaking without paying attention.
“I think it would have been better if I had died. I was starting to get tired of doing this f*cking shit.”
There is nothing I cannot say in front of an angel.
“Oh, Angel… I have a favor to ask of you. You must tell God. Please!”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.
“Rachel. Please throw that woman in hell. She is not an angel. Even an angel has such a bad mouth. Every time she opens her mouth, she curses.”
“…”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been thinking about something for a moment, continued speaking.
“Hmm… Is hell a little too much? Let’s just do this. I’m going to heaven anyway. Just put me in charge. That seems okay too. You really have to tell God about this.”
“yes.”
The angel opened his mouth for the first time.
As expected, her voice was as beautiful as her angelic appearance.
I grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s angel hand tightly.
“I… Angel. I have one last request…”
Choi Hyun-seok’s face turned pink as he spoke.
“Can you please kiss me…?”
“…”
“I’ve lived this life twice with this body… It would be too sad if I died as a bachelor both times.”
“…”
“The blond nobleman
Young-ae too. And her five rabbit-like children too. They didn’t even get to see the grand mansion of old age and just rolled around like dogs and died. So…”
Choi Hyun-seok closed his eyes gently.
“Consider this as your final farewell gift and give me just one kiss…!”
However, what came out of the angel’s mouth was completely unexpected.
“The worst…”
“yes?”
Choi Hyun-seok doubted his ears.
That moment when I blinked my eyes and made a stupid expression.
bang!
The door burst open and Raidrun barged in.
“Choi Hyun-seok! You’re awake!”
Raidrun hugged Choi Hyun-seok with tears in his eyes.
Kwaaak…!
I felt like my body was going to burst from the immense pressure.
“Ugh, ugh!”
I had no idea what was going on.
But one thing is certain.
If this continues, I’ll die again.
“S-save me…!”
“Ah! I’m sorry. I was so happy that I didn’t realize it… Ahem!”
Raidrun stepped back in embarrassment.
Choi Hyun-seok looked around, out of breath.
The angel was still there.
The cow’s head was still there.
“ha ha ha…”
Little by little, the situation began to make sense.
“Choi Hyun-seok! I’m so glad you’re alive!” “Yes… that’s right…”
Choi Hyun-seok wiped away the tears that were flowing.
In fact, he was not dead, but alive.
And this place is still hell.
But there was something sadder than that.
‘Shit…’
The woman in front of me was not an angel, but a human.
‘I’m going to get really annoyed…!’
Choi Hyun-seok wished he had just died like this.
