Episode 51
“Ugh…”
Choi Hyun-seok clenched his teeth and held back a groan.
Black sweat continued to flow from his body.
About an hour passed like that.
“Phew… It’s over.”
Abelson said with a tired expression.
Choi Hyun-seok bowed his head.
“Ha, thank you again.” “You don’t have to thank me in particular. It was Choi Hyun-seok’s own will that helped him overcome this.”
It wasn’t a lie.
It was clear that Choi Hyun-seok was cured thanks to Abelson’s ability, but it would not have been possible without Choi Hyun-seok’s will.
“I actually think that Choi Hyun-seok’s obsession with life is nothing short of creating a miracle.”
“ha ha ha…”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled awkwardly at Abelson’s words.
“It helps to know that there are still a lot of things I want to do.”
Things that Choi Hyun-seok always said.
blond nobleman
Youngae, rabbit-like children, and the mansion of old age.
Choi Hyun-seok sincerely wanted to achieve all of these things.
That’s why I can’t die yet.
This sticky(?) will seemed to have ignited a spark of life.
“But don’t be at ease. Your body hasn’t stabilized yet.” “Not stabilized?” “Yes. Right now, it wouldn’t be strange if Choi Hyun-seok died at any time. You have to receive treatment like this every day until your body reaches a complete stability.”
“Every day…”
“No one knows when the body will stabilize. It may be today, or it may never come.”
What this meant was that from now on, Abelson would come and visit me every day and I would have to suffer like this.
“sorry…”
“No. I didn’t really have anything to do anyway. And.”
Abelson muttered softly.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok is also our only hope…”
“yes?”
“It’s nothing. I’m finished with the treatment, so I’ll go now.”
Abelson stood up.
“Are you going to go already!? If you don’t mind, I can treat you to a meal…” “No. If you move around unnecessarily and stimulate your magic, you’ll get even more tired.”
“yes…”
“Then that’s it.”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Abelson leaving with eyes filled with regret.
“He’s gone…”
“Yes! He went!”
At that moment, Rachel appeared from somewhere and stood in front of Choi Hyun-seok with a smile.
“How are you, warrior?” “I’m fine, but I’m quite tired.”
It must have been hard for Abelson, who was being treated, but Choi Hyun-seok, who was being treated, really felt like he was going to die.
This was because every time Abelson’s divine power entered, the magical energy inside his body would react and run wild, causing extreme pain.
“Do I have to receive this treatment every day from now on…”
The corners of Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth slightly went up.
“I rather like it!”
“yes?”
“I see Mr. Abelson every day. Isn’t that rather lucky?” “Isn’t that…! Are you saying that now!?”
Rachel repeatedly punched Choi Hyun-seok in the chest.
“Oh, it hurts! Didn’t you hear that I absolutely had to rest!?” “I don’t know! Just die!”
At this moment, Rachel was sincere.
***
Some time after that.
At the very moment when Choi Hyun-seok, who was lying down resting against Bobo’s back, was about to fall asleep again.
The door burst open and someone barged in.
“Choi Hyun-seok! You’re finally awake!”
The attacker was Raidrun.
He came running at full speed, smiling brightly.
Choi Hyun-seok smiled awkwardly and got up from his seat.
“Thanks to your concern, I survived.” “No. It’s all my fault. I should have paid more attention to the fact that you’re human…” “No. It’s because I was stupid.”
The atmosphere was quite warm.
“Are you really okay, by the way?” “Yes. I still need to continue receiving treatment, but I’ll be completely better someday.” “That’s right…”
Raidrun continued to check various parts of Choi Hyun-seok’s body as if checking if he was really okay.
He squinted his eyes.
“By the way, you’ve gotten stronger, haven’t you? In particular, your magical power and magical energy have increased considerably.”
“yes?”
You suddenly got stronger.
Choi Hyun-seok tilted his head at the incomprehensible words.
“You don’t know yet… Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. Anyway, let’s rest for a while and not think about things like training.”

“All right.”
“Oh, I almost forgot. Choi Hyun-seok. I was on my way because Hemis called me.”
“ah…”
“I originally asked you to come with me after checking your condition, but… if it’s difficult, rest more. I’ll tell the commander.”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head at Raidrun’s words.
“I think it would be okay to just move around.”
“I see.”
To be honest, I wanted to lie down again right away.
Although it wasn’t as bad as before, the pain still felt like my whole body was going to break apart.
‘But I can’t help it since the commander is looking for me.’
What if I told Hemis that I didn’t go because I was feeling a little sick?
Maybe he’d eat me in one bite and tell me to rest in his arms forever.
“Let’s leave right away.”
“Well, then… maybe…”
Then Raidrun spoke cautiously.
“Would you like to ride on my back?”
“yes…?”
“If it’s hard, you can carry me!”
Are you feeling unwell?
Raidrun’s red skin color seems darker than usual.
“Okay, come on…”
“Okay, it’s okay… haha…!”
Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t help but tremble in horror at something.
***
As I entered the familiar office, a beautiful back was seen.
Hemis turned his back and looked out the window.
She said without turning around.
“Are you here?”
“yes.”
“I have a question. What is your relationship?” “What are you talking about…?” “Raidrun. I saw you carrying Choi Hyunseok.”
Raidrun kept his mouth shut.
Choi Hyun-seok sighed and touched his forehead.
‘f*ck… I saw it.’
I feel like I want to hide in a mouse hole.
‘I couldn’t help it either…’
Choi Hyun-seok also had no desire to be carried on a man’s back.
If it were Abelson’s back, I wouldn’t know.
However, I declined Raidran’s offer to carry me, and while I was moving.
Suddenly, the strength left my legs.
“Ugh…!”
“Choi Hyun-seok! Are you okay!?”
Even though my physical condition was not normal, I didn’t know that I would not be able to even walk as I pleased.
In the end, Choi Hyun-seok had no choice but to be carried by Raidrun.
If you insisted any longer there, it would have been a nuisance.
‘I thought you wouldn’t notice since I got off at the door…’
I thought you were looking out the window.
It was an unexpected development.
‘Should I commit suicide… No, more importantly, where are the eyes of that lip monster?’
I had a useless thought, “How on earth can you see without eyes?”
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok’s distracting thoughts were spreading out in all directions as usual.
Raidrun opened his mouth.
“There was nothing we could do because Choi Hyun-seok was not feeling well.”
“Aha, I see.”
Hemis turned around.
Her face was finally revealed.
The huge lips were split horizontally.
“That could be true! Hohohoho!”
As usual, he just covers his mouth and smiles, but today he can’t help but be so annoying.
‘I don’t know what you’re imagining, but that’s not it. That’s not it…!’
It was humiliating.
I felt like I was being used for some wrong desire.
“Enough joking. The reason I called you today is because I have something to tell you.”
Hemis returned to his usual self and said.
“I will be away from my post for a week starting today.” “A week… is that the regular meeting of the legion commanders?”
“that’s right.”
Raidran stroked his chin as if thinking about something.
“It’s quite early this year. Normally, the meeting would be held in December.”
Regular meeting of the legion commanders.
It is a regular meeting between the Demon King and the five legion commanders.
It is held every December and its main purpose is to report on the work of the past year and make plans for the next year.
“Yeah. There was a meeting not long ago, even though it was irregular.”
Recently, Hemis attended a ‘temporary meeting’ of legion commanders.
The main agenda was about who would be allocated Bobo.
Anyway, since all the legion commanders were gathered together, all sorts of stories were exchanged.
It hasn’t even been a few months since then, and suddenly they’re holding a regular meeting of legion commanders, and they’re even bringing the schedule forward?
It was a strange thing.
“Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do. Since it’s not an emergency meeting but a regular meeting, I have to attend.”
The rule was that one could refuse to attend an extraordinary meeting, but one had to attend a regular meeting.
“That’s why I called you to tell you that I would like you to take charge of the unit while I’m away.”
“All right.”
Raidrun nodded without much thought.
The Demon King’s 3rd Army Corps led by Hemis had no deputy commander, and since the most trusted person was Raidrun, they had already carried out similar missions several times.
“And Choi Hyun-seok.”
Hemis, who had finished his business with Raidrun, looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a nervous expression.
“I heard the story. Not only was there magic, but there was also a demon tribe.
“You used a dedicated speculator, right?”
“yes…”
“You and Raidran both seem so smart, but you strangely become stupid. Hohohoho!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Raidran bowed their heads in silence.
Even if I had ten mouths, I would have nothing to say.
“Anyway, originally I was going to give you the next mission right away…”
At that moment, Hemis’ voice became low.
“Looking at the condition, it doesn’t seem to be possible.”
“Is that so…?”
You don’t have to take on a mission.
Choi Hyun-seok pretended to be disappointed on the outside, but he was cheering on the inside.
Then Hemis continued speaking.
“I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s so strange to be alive.”
“…”
“I guess there is a reason why humans call her a saint.”
Hemis looked at Abelson again.
I thought he was just a idiot with a lot of divine power, but he seemed to have more abilities than I expected.
“Hmm~ Should I help you out a little?”
In an instant, Hemis’ lips were torn horizontally.
She approaches with a smile.
The huge lips are getting closer and closer.
“Okay, Commander..?”
“If you die, it’ll be difficult for me too. I’ll help you just this once.” Squeak…!
Hemis’s lips parted, and something tentacle-like emerged from inside.
The tips of the tentacles were covered with ugly teeth.
“I, I… that…”
The moment Choi Hyun-seok was about to step back.
A tentacle flew in and bit Choi Hyun-seok on the back of his neck.
Chomp!
“Ugh, ugh…”
Consciousness fades with intense pain.
“It’s okay… When I wake up… I’ll feel refreshed…”
The voice sounded distant.
‘Ah… It’s been so long since I woke up and now you’re talking nonsense again…’
I just woke up after being unconscious for a while, and now I have to lie down again.
“Consider it an honor.”
With the last words in English unknown.
Choi Hyun-seok’s consciousness was completely lost.
***
A few days passed after Hemis left.
Fortunately, Choi Hyun-seok, who had fallen, was able to get up quickly and move around vigorously.
In fact, he even appeared healthier than before.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
Raidrun looked at Choi Hyun-seok with a worried face.
“Yes. I have also received permission from Mr. Abelson to do so, as long as you do not use any magical power or magic.”
Choi Hyun-seok asked Raidrun to start training again.
No matter how sick I was, I couldn’t just lie down forever.
I couldn’t waste a single day, not knowing when or what would happen.
“Then there’s nothing I can do…”
Raidrun trained not only to not move his magic, but also to avoid using his body as much as possible.
As a result, it was inevitable that the education would be theory-oriented.
“… can be said. This is the end of the explanation of the plomot.”
Today’s training is about the demon tribe that we tried before
It was a dedicated speculation, about the plomot.
It was training to deal with the demons who use the plomot, not for Choi Hyun-seok’s use.
“thank you.”
“If you’re thinking of using the Flomote, stop. Your body hasn’t stabilized yet.” “Yes. Of course! Haha!”
Choi Hyun-seok also said that he had no intention of committing suicide.
Looking at him smiling, Raidran had other thoughts.
‘As expected, Choi Hyun-seok has become stronger.’
Raidrun thinks.
For some reason, Choi Hyun-seok was getting stronger little by little.
It seemed like he wasn’t aware of it yet.
‘Does the body adapt and develop to magic?’
Maybe Choi Hyun-seok’s body is adapting to the magic and changing.
At that time, I was thinking about the cause of growth.
Suddenly, Raidrun’s expression hardened.
‘This is… divine power?’
A divine power is felt in the black giant castle, the headquarters of the Demon King’s 3rd Army Corps.
It was a strange thing.
Of course, there is the next Saint Abelson Marriott here.
Her divine power is so great that it can be felt anywhere in the black giant.
However, the divine power felt now was not Abelson’s.
‘Hiding his power. The number is three. Or is it four…?’
A secretly hidden divine power.
If it weren’t for Raidrun being exceptionally sensitive to divine power, I would never have detected it.
“I think there will be problems.”
Choi Hyun-seok was taken aback by Raidrun’s sudden words.
“Huh? What’s the problem…”
“There’s no time to explain. You wait here!”
Leaving Choi Hyun-seok standing there blankly, Raidrun started to run somewhere in a hurry.
