Episode 70
“Ugh… It’s gross…”
Rachel’s expression was very crumpled as she spoke.
Choi Hyun-seok also looked forward with a frown as if he agreed.
“You said Almasen? It’s really disgusting when you see it in person.” “It’s a demonic beast that stores magic energy. It’s not something that came naturally, it’s something that was created through experimentation.” “Whatever it is, it really looks horrible.”
Almasen.
This artificially created demon had an extremely grotesque appearance.
A round body like a ball.
It is a huge size, easily exceeding 5 meters in diameter.
The skin, full of blood vessels, pulsed like a heart, growing and shrinking repeatedly.
A long tube extends from what is presumed to be the creature’s snout, and at the end of it is a seal-like creature.
One was stuck.
“Now I know why everyone was having a fit of rage because they didn’t want to accept the In-Goh-Hyeong.” “This is my first time seeing it in person, and I really can’t bear to open my eyes and watch…”
In-Geo type.
It is a punishment that forcibly extracts magic energy from the body of a demon.
As Hemis had declared, he punished the demons who failed to pass the competition.
“It’s so unfair! What did I do wrong to deserve this punishment!?”
In fact, at the very end of the game, everyone thought that the penalty would not be carried out.
That’s right, 100 demons
A whopping 76 of them.
They are also strong people with the military power of a battalion commander.
In human terms, this would be tantamount to mass torture of high-ranking nobles.
And all because he was eliminated from the tournament.
But Hemis was a commander who did what he could.
The next morning after the game.
She carried out the sentence mercilessly.
“No! Get rid of these disgusting tentacles right now!”
The method by which the mortuary is executed is simple.
Tentacles extending from the demon Almasen stick to your body and suck out your magic energy like a mosquito.
However, this time, those who were sentenced were people who had done well in their own right, so it wasn’t easy.
He resisted so as not to have his magic taken away.
Crunch…!
The demon Almasen tried to suck up the magic energy with all its might using its tentacles, but the magic energy did not come out as if it was blocked by something.
Since it was not originally created as a combat-type demon, it was impossible to forcibly take the demonic energy of a battalion commander.
Hemis, who had been watching the scene, sighed and moved.
“I told you that it would be more difficult if you resisted. Why won’t you listen?”
“Old, Commander…”
“I was going to execute the sentence myself, so why did you waste your energy on useless things?”
“That, that…”
The magic flowing out of Hemis engulfs his entire body.
The seal tribe was sweating profusely as if they were getting rained on.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please just let me live!”
I prayed so hard that my hands and feet became like sand.
Of course, it was useless.
Hemis placed a hand on the seal tribe’s shoulder.
At the same time, the bastard’s eyes widened and a huge amount of magical energy began to drain from his body.
Gulp, gulp!
Almasen beat vigorously to accept the sudden surge of magic.
It was quite difficult because several times more than Almasen could absorb at once was being pushed in.
“Kekekekeke…!”
The eyes of the seal demon tribe, who had their magic stolen, were rolled back and foam was flowing out of their mouths.
After a while.
The bastard fell to the floor, completely twisted like a mummy.
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel trembled at the sight.
“Is that thing dead…?” “Yes… it’s dead…”
I’m really dead.
It is virtually the same as carrying out the death penalty.
Hemis, who had been grinning while looking at the seal tribe’s shell, raised his head.
“From now on, all those who bother you will end up like this, so don’t resist and just accept it. Do you understand?”
From then on, things were smooth sailing.
The demons offered no resistance.
Some demons even went so far as to push Almasen to take their magic energy.
Having your magic drained to its limit is terribly painful, and it takes a long time to recover.
It was better than death.
Choi Hyun-seok, who watched the entire process, was able to renew his fighting spirit.
‘Final 10th place. I’ll get in somehow.’
Hemis’ words about sending it to the lab.
I thought he was just trying to scare me, but… no.

If you don’t make it into the top 10, you will really be sent to the lab.
“If I had extra limbs, wouldn’t my future wife hate it?” “Even the most unbiased woman would have a hard time meeting a man with eight limbs.”
“As expected…”
“Having two heads is also difficult.”
“okay.”
“There are several down there….”
“Stop it, stop it!!!”
Just how crazy is this crazy angel?
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been glaring at Rachel for a moment, looked away and fell into thought again.
‘I will never go to a research institute to achieve my dream.’
blond nobleman
Marry Young-ae.
Five rabbit-like children.
I see my grandchildren running around in my grandparents’ mansion.
For all of this to work out, you had to be in a relationship first.
But after I come back from the lab, my love life will probably be over.
blond nobleman
Not Yeong-ae, but a free-spirited demon with about 10 arms and legs
You can take a woman as your wife.
That’s not what Choi Hyun-seok wanted.
“Now that it’s over, let’s go back. We need to train quickly.”
“yes!”
Before we knew it, the execution of the humanoid form was over.
On the way back to Bobo’s house.
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes were shining brighter than usual.
***
After returning home.
Choi Hyun-seok thoroughly checked his condition for the first time in a long time.
What we have and what we lack.
I felt the need to reorganize the things I would need going forward.
“Let’s check the status window first.”
Choi Hyun-seok opened the status window and looked at it carefully.
▫Name: Choi Hyun-seok
▫Title: Reserve Warrior
▫Level: 466
·Strength: 170
· Agility: 165
· Stamina: 168
· Horsepower: 170
·Magi: ???
·Charisma: 74
·Bonus Points: –
▫Warrior Points: 1300
▫Abilities: Pickaxe (C), Leadership (C), Cooking (D), Magical Power Management (C), Magical Power Management (D)▫Skills: Raidrun-style Martial Arts, Raidrun-style Martial Arts Variation, Flomote, Nobilis
The first noticeable changes were in abilities and skills.
The level of ‘Magic Utilization’ and ‘Magic Utilization’ has increased considerably.
It was a natural result of the concentrated efforts I had put into handling magic and magical energy.
These two were key to becoming stronger in the future, so I planned to practice them consistently.
“You also went up in leadership?”
‘Leadership’, which had been in place for quite some time, also rose one level in this battle to become C-rank.
Choi Hyun-seok confirmed the detailed explanation of the command.
□ Leadership
‧ Grade: C
‧ Description: Efficiency increases when leading others.
‧ effect :
– Increases the probability that the person being directed will follow the commander’s orders.
– Increases the probability that the person receiving orders will understand the commander’s orders.
– Increased performance ability when the person being directed carries out the orders of the leader.
Choi Hyun-seok, who checked the explanation, expressed his small admiration.
“Oh, is that last phrase something new that was added as the level went up?”
– Increased performance ability when the person in charge carries out the commander’s orders.
This was an effect that didn’t exist originally.
It seemed like a new effect was added as the level went up this time.
“I don’t know how much the efficiency increase will actually be, but it’s better than nothing.”
I had a feeling that I would be fighting with other people more and more in the future.
Each time this happens, leadership will shine even brighter.
Additionally, leadership is linked to the hidden ability, Charisma.
This is because as the charisma level increases, the effectiveness of leadership increases.
To sum up, it was an ability that was expected to be even more promising in the future than it is now.
“Nobilis, a new skill added. I need to finish this quickly.”
The speculative ‘Nobillace’ created with Raidrun.
This was still an unfinished speculation.
As it was a martial art that dealt with both magic and magical power, it required an extremely high level of skill.
It seemed that the remaining ten days would require a lot of time spent improving and refining Nobilis’ skills.
After some organizing was done.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the center of the status window for the last time.
▫Warrior Points: 1300
“Warrior Points… What should I do with these?”
I haven’t used it much since I got a lot of warrior points last time.
All I did was buy a 150 point combat power meter.
Choi Hyun-seok was wondering where to spend his remaining warrior points.
“It would be a waste to just leave it like this…” “Let’s just use it all up!”
“where?”
“Well, why don’t you just buy abilities or items or something?”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head at Rachel’s words.
“But then when the time comes that you need it, you might not be able to use it.”
Until now, Choi Hyun-seok has kept his warrior points as a kind of insurance.
When you can’t see ahead, you often find yourself looking for a solution at the warrior’s shop.
“Then let’s just leave it!” “You can buy the abilities you need now and develop them, so isn’t it a bit of a waste to just leave it alone?”
“profit…!”
Rachel’s cheeks puffed out.
I’m dissatisfied either way. I’m dissatisfied either way.
No matter what I say, it seems like he has no intention of accepting it.
At this point, isn’t the real purpose to make fun of oneself?
“Why did you ask if you were just going to give me an answer anyway!?” “I’m not asking for an answer, I’m asking for your opinion.” “You won’t listen even if I tell you!” “Hmm, isn’t there something that’s helpful right away, reasonably priced, and has a lot of growth potential?”
It was when Choi Hyun-seok was muttering.
A rather familiar female voice was heard from behind him.
“Hey. No matter what, doesn’t that make you look like a thief?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked back with a look of bewilderment.
There is a woman there whom I had encountered in front of Hemis’ office.
Park Hyun-ah, the commander of the 4th Army Corps of the Demon King’s Army, was looking at him.
***
If I had to define my first impression of Park Hyun-ah in one sentence, it would be this.
What a crazy bitch.
I can still clearly see him banging his head against my chest and acting violently from the moment we first met.
‘No. She’s not just a crazy bitch. She’s a legion commander, so she must be incredibly strong.’
Even on the combat power measuring device that can measure up to 200,000, it said “unmeasurable.”
Despite being a warrior, he is strong enough to take the position of commander of the Demon King’s army.
So she’s not just a crazy bitch.
‘Really strong, really crazy bitch.’
He was a troublesome being in many ways.
It’s a problem just to be really crazy, but when you really count it, there’s no answer.
Choi Hyun-seok raised his hand, shaking his dizzy head.
“I… hello… how are you?”
When Choi Hyun-seok awkwardly greets her like a broken robot, Park Hyun-ah’s face crumples.
“What’s with that stupid greeting? Did you eat something wrong?”
“Uh… yes.”
“Okay. I guess you have some warrior points left? How much do you have?” “I have 1300 points right now.”
“What is the store rating?”
“It’s intermediate.”
“It probably won’t be of much use.”
Park Hyun-ah sat down on the rock and spoke cynically.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Park Hyun-ah cautiously.
‘Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like he came here to pick a fight.’
If she hadn’t come to pick a fight, Park Hyun-ah’s appearance would have been quite welcome.
Although she is currently a member of the Demon King’s Army, Park Hyun-ah has been walking the path of a warrior long before Choi Hyun-seok.
Maybe I could get some help.
“Wouldn’t it be better to buy something like a good ability in advance?” “Buying small things won’t help much. Speculation is the only good thing, but you’ve already learned a few speculations, right?”
“yes.”
“Then don’t spend it on useless things. Just save it and buy something like Subspace later. That’s definitely worth the money.”
“aha…”
Subspace.
You’re probably talking about something like an inventory in an RPG game.
Choi Hyun-seok thought he should look for it later.
At that moment, Park Hyun-ah looked back at Choi Hyun-seok and opened her mouth.
“Hey. You’re a warrior, right?”
“yes.”
“But why are you in the Demon King’s Army?” “Commander… aren’t you in the Demon King’s Army too?”
“That’s right.”
Unexpectedly, Park Hyun-ah admitted it coolly.
He mutters, “Well, that’s not important,” as if he’s thinking about something.
A brief silence followed.
Park Hyun-ah continued speaking.
“How do you use magic and magical power together?” “It just happened.”
“How did it come to this?”
“Yes. It really just happened by chance…”
Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah’s gazes intersect.
Park Hyun-ah, who had been quietly looking into Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes, soon nodded.
“Yes. It just so happens. It just so happens that you can use magic, use magical power, and be a warrior in the Demon King’s army. It just so happens that anything can happen. Right? That’s just how things in the world go. That’s just how it is.”
“…”
“Do you want to fall behind?”
“sorry.”
The staring gaze is sharp.
Choi Hyun-seok quietly turned his eyes away.
He looked at the distant mountains and prayed for this hellish time to end.
“hey.”
“yes.”
“Don’t you want to come under me?”
“yes?”
“No, just come under me.”
“…”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Park Hyun-ah with wide eyes.
The panicked eyes tremble endlessly.
“Why? You don’t like it?”
“Ah… It’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s a bit…”
“Do you want to fall behind?”
Choi Hyun-seok ended up closing his eyes.
‘f*ck. At least the lip monster could talk. This is just hopeless…’
How can we overcome this predicament?
Although Choi Hyun-seok is usually very savvy in this regard, this opponent was too strong.
I can’t see any answer.
‘Ah… I miss Mom.’
It was a day when I especially missed my mother, who was so kind to me.
