Episode 48
“Keuh-euk! Keuh-euk!”
Doras breathes heavily.
It seemed as if my breath would stop at any moment.
‘Damn it! How did I end up being chased by a human being!’
Choi Hyun-seok is chasing from behind.
You yourself, fooled by that guy’s lies, are cornered.
I just felt resentful about everything.
“Keuheuuk! If you give up now! I will spare your life!”
Doras gasped and screamed.
“Ugh, gasp…!”
Choi Hyun-seok was also tired, as his breathing was rapid.
“Stop being so annoying!”
But it can’t be stopped.
If we don’t catch Doras now, Choi Hyun-seok himself will die.
In order to live, Doras had to die.
“Stop falling! You filthy little bastard…!”
Doras threw her fist.
Choi Hyun-seok also did not back down and extended his fist.
There is no evasion.
Since both of them are exhausted anyway, they don’t have the strength to avoid the attack.
Phew!
Choi Hyun-seok and Doras, who were hit by the punch, retreated to either side.
Doras could feel herself being pushed back a little further.
“Ugh!”
This would not have happened normally, but he was pushed to his limits by the use of speculation and was becoming weaker in real time.
“Damn it! Let’s just wait and see!”
Doras started running back to the unit.
“Stop! Turn it over nicely!”
The two men continue their run again.
This situation has repeated itself several times since then.
Fight for a while, then run away again.
They fight again and the chase begins again.
Choi Hyun-seok shouted, gasping for breath.
“Huh, hul…! How is that pig still running!?”
He too was now pushed to his physical limits.
Even though I leveled up, this is reality, not a game.
There is no miracle where all wounds are healed and stamina is restored by leveling up.
So far, I’ve run away, fought demons, chased Doras again, and even fought.
It was natural that my physical strength and magical power would run out.
“Hero! That pig is also very weak. Just try a little harder!” “Yes…! Just a little further!”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok was about to move again thanks to Rachel’s encouragement.
“Kwaang!”
A familiar roar came from behind.
“Boboya!?”
Bobo followed along, covered in wounds.
“You’re alive! Our Bobo…”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened as he spoke.
“Kyaaaaah! Save me!”
“Keeeeeek!”
“Craa!”
Why is that?
A chase was taking place between the demons and the soldiers.
Behind the fleeing soldiers, a line of giant demons followed.
“What, what!? What’s going on!?” “Is that important right now!? Let’s run!” “But if we keep going like this, the demons will storm the unit!?” “The hero is going to die, so what does that matter?”
“Oh, I see…”
I don’t know what the hell is going on, but what needs to be done is the same.
“I don’t know either!”
Run to the base like this.
After that, we kill Doras who is pushed to his limit.
I decided to think about what would happen next when the time comes.
***
Hemis was looking at papers in his office.
The situation on the front lines. And a report on the recent movements of the Holy Empire Gatren.
“Hmm~ Is there something noisy?”
The corners of his huge mouth slightly went up.
The unit’s magic began to distort a little while ago, and soon a noise arose outside the window.
“What’s going on?”

I was already bored.
At that moment, Hemis, whose interest was piqued, got up from his seat.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
The person who came in was one of Hemis’ secretaries.
“what?”
“Commander. The unit has been attacked by demons.”
“Huh? The devil?”
“Yes. They are quite strong as well.”
Hemis was a little embarrassed.
I knew there was a commotion, but a sudden attack by the devil?
The forest demons do not touch the places where the demons are.
Because I know it as a concept of a kind of area.
It’s so weird that these guys, who usually don’t come out of their own territory, are attacking our unit in a group.
It was impossible.
“Shall we go out and try it?”
It smelled funny.
Hemis left the office straight away and headed out of the castle.
There was already chaos there.
“Hey! It’s a demon!” “Kill them! The unit that kills them first gets the body!”
Giant demons and soldiers were fighting.
“That’s interesting.”
Hemis chuckled.
There was no need to step forward and help.
If the high-ranking officials here step forward, they will deal with something like that in no time.
What Hemis wonders is why this happened.
At that moment.
“Waaaaaaaaa!”
A giant ogre appeared before Hemis.
The bastard was wielding a club in his hand that was larger than Hemis’s torso.
“Wooooooo!”
The club soars into the sky.
Just before falling on Hemis’ head.
Oh my god!
Hemis’s lips opened wide, as wide as the ogre’s body.
For a moment, confusion flashed through the ogre’s eyes, but it was already too late.
widely!
The lips are closed.
The giant ogre just disappeared.
“Well, it tastes pretty good.”
Hemis continued walking with a satisfied smile.
“Choi Hyun-seok. Where could he be~?”
Choi Hyun-seok will be somewhere around here.
The reason is clear.
The reason why the demon invaded the unit was because something provoked the demon.
And the only person who would do something like that in the unit is Choi Hyeon-seok, who is always out hunting as the cook.
“I was wondering what you were doing and you were planning such a cheeky thing. Hohohoho!”
I was so curious as to what on earth he was thinking and how he could do something like this.
How far did it move like that?
“Okay, Commander!”
A familiar pig ran in front of me.
“Ah… your name was Doras?”
This is a battalion commander I remembered because I heard he’s been getting along well with Choi Hyun-seok recently.
“Commander… Please save me…!”
Doras was wounded and half-dead.
Even walking is difficult, and as soon as he gets in front of Hemis, he collapses.
“What’s going on?”
“Ugh… That bug-like thing…!”
“worm?”
Hemis’ doubts were quickly resolved.
“Ugh, ugh…!”
This is because Choi Hyun-seok, who is also covered in wounds, appeared.
“Oh my, Choi Hyun-seok. You were there.”
“Commander…?”
A slight look of bewilderment appears in Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes as he discovers Hemis.
But he soon came to his senses and assumed a stern expression.
He approached Doras and said:
“Whew… Commander. I have captured the battalion commander as you said.”
“What, what did you say!?”
In an instant, Doras’s eyes opened wide.
How are things going?
He came to see the commander to save himself, and Choi Hyeon-seok said that he was arrested as ordered by the commander.
Could it be that the commander of the legion ordered him to be dealt with?
No, that can’t be.
There’s no way that Commander Hemis would make a human do such a bothersome job.
Doras looked at Hemis with questioning eyes.
“Commander! What is this…!”
“shut up.”
At that moment, a strong magical energy shot out from Hemis.
Doras just kept her mouth shut.
“They caught the battalion commander… That’s true.”
Hemis’s huge lips were torn horizontally.
“Ohhohoho! This is so much fun!”
Laughter breaks out.
“I told you to catch the battalion commander, and this is what you did?” “I used every method I could think of!” “That’s why you turned the unit into a mess?”
“…”
Choi Hyun-seok had nothing to say about that either.
Hemis spoke to Choi Hyun-seok, who had his mouth tightly shut.
“But it seems like the mission isn’t over yet?”
“yes?”
“I told you, capture the battalion commander. That means kill him.”
There was no need to kill Doras originally.
The battalion commander is a valuable resource.
Choi Hyun-seok has practically completed his mission.
Killing Doras was just because Hemis felt bad.
‘You pathetic little pig.’
Doras is strong.
As this is the headquarters of the legion, it is stronger than a normal battalion commander.
It means that he is a strong man who ranks high among the battalion commanders.
If Doras and Choi Hyun-seok fight like that, Choi Hyun-seok won’t be able to defeat Doras even if he wakes up from death.
That’s why Hemis didn’t really take part in this mission.
Because there was no chance of Choi Hyun-seok succeeding anyway.
‘You lost to a human on that subject?’
Doras was eventually defeated by Choi Hyun-seok despite being such a strong subject.
How stupid do you have to be to be able to do that?
A commander with strong arms but an empty mind.
The commanders who made up the majority of the Demon King’s army were the type that Hemis hated the most.
“Commander! No! Save me! Please!”
Doras pleaded, holding onto Hemis’s trouser leg.
It was quite unsightly to see tears and snot running down my face.
“You have no pride. I’d rather just…”
The moment when Hemis tried to strangle Doras himself.
Kwajik!
Choi Hyun-seok’s kick hit the back of the head.
Doras, who was already dying, died with her head on the floor.
Until yesterday, he was reigning as a battalion commander and living a life of luxury.
It was a miserable end.
“I’m sorry. I’ve caused you trouble, Commander.” “No, it’s nothing. You did well.”
Hemis turned around with a smirk.
“Come with me. I have a lot of questions.”
***
Hemis, who returned to his office, heard the whole story from Choi Hyun-seok.
She didn’t stop laughing throughout the story.
“Ohhohohoho!”
Choi Hyun-seok’s trickery was far beyond her expectations.
Are humans originally like this?
Maybe it’s just Choi Hyun-seok.
“It was funny that you dragged the battalion commander in to fight the demons, but in that situation, the demons of the entire forest rushed at you?” “That… was something I didn’t expect.”
Choi Hyun-seok spoke honestly.
Luck played a big role in the success of this effort.
If the demons hadn’t attacked in a group at that time, Choi Hyun-seok wouldn’t have been able to defeat Doras even if he had fought together with Bobo.
“I told you, it’s really fun. What on earth goes on in your head that makes you come up with such brilliant ideas? Can I take it apart and check it out?”
“That, that’s a bit…”
Choi Hyun-seok was sweating profusely.
If it was Hemis, he could really split his own head open to check.
“There’s nothing I can do. Anyway, I’ll acknowledge this incident as a success. This happened because I didn’t give clear instructions. You exploited a loophole. This is a very humane way of handling things.”
Choi Hyun-seok simply bowed his head to express his gratitude.
“It’s good that you succeeded in your mission, but you still haven’t risen above the rank of company commander?”
“that…”
Hemis’ goal is for Choi Hyeon-seok to rise to the rank of battalion commander.
However, since you caught Doras with such a trick, I cannot officially give you the position of battalion commander.
Even if I were to give it to him, if it were at Choi Hyun-seok’s current level, it would be taken away before he could keep it for even a day.
“Hmm~ Well, next time, if I give the order to defeat the battalion commander in a duel, it’ll be resolved. Right?” “W-That’s right! Hahaha! If the Corps Commander gives that order, I’ll rise to the position of battalion commander no matter what!” “Oh ho ho! Very good. Thanks to you, life is really worth living!”
Hemis, who was laughing happily, continued speaking.
“Okay. I’ll make sure there’s no damage to the unit this time.”
“thank you!”
Choi Hyun-seok answered forcefully.
I was secretly worried that I had brought the devil with me, but it seemed like it would be resolved amicably.
At that moment, Hemis’ lips twisted.
“But there is no next time.”
“…”
“If you do something this annoying again, you’ll know, right?”
“yes.”
There is no next.
Choi Hyun-seok chewed on those words as he left Hemis’ office.
***
Bobo’s house is back.
Choi Hyun-seok collapsed on the floor.
“Whoa… I really thought I was going to die.”
It was such a tiring day.
It can’t be helped, since we’re walking on thin ice every moment.
“Hero. You’ve worked hard.” “Thank you. I somehow managed to survive today.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Bobo, who was resting at home, stuck his head in while listening to the conversation between the two.
“Yeah, yeah. You worked hard too, Bobo. I’m sorry I couldn’t take care of you properly.”
“Wow! Wow!”
Bobo barked vigorously as if nothing was wrong.
“Oh my! How cute!”
Choi Hyun-seok kept patting Bobo’s head.
“By the way, I feel a little sorry towards Doras.”
“To that pig?”
“Oh. I treated you well, but you tricked me.” “There’s nothing I can do. After all, you’re a hero, and that pig is the Demon King’s army. I don’t think he’ll feel wronged.” “He looks very wronged.”
“Is that so?”
Rachel laughed heartily.
“Then, warrior! Shall we pray? To the pig who gave us gifts until the end!”
Doras’ last gift.
It was a massive level up.
“Okay. Thanks to that, I was able to level up an additional 15 levels.”
The last moment.
The reason Choi Hyun-seok stepped in when Hemis tried to kill Doras was because of Level Up.
[Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!]… .
The level-up notifications that I heard one after another are still vivid in my ears.
The previous level was 33, and after fighting the demon, an additional 15 levels were gained.
As a result, thanks to Doras, I was able to level up 48 in just one day.
“Pig…”
Rachel closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.
“Eat lots of delicious food in heaven!”
“…”
“I don’t know if there’s anything to eat in hell!”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head at the human nature that he could not dare to look down on.
“You are truly the best.”
“What is it?”
“It’s just the best.”
It was Rachel, the strongest person in the universe.
