Episode 74
Choi Hyun-seok narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.
An unidentified group suddenly appeared.
They were all wearing hoods so it was hard to see, but the demons
It wasn’t the same.
The body shape revealed above the hood was clearly human.
‘What are these guys?’
At that time, I was worried.
The one in front took off his hat.
As expected, a human face appears.
Then the rest of them started taking off their hats.
Swish…
Even though it was just a simple act of taking off a hat, the movements were perfectly synchronized as if they had been practiced countless times.
Rather than being impressed by the uniformity, for some reason, I first thought it was strange.
‘There’s something strange about these guys. Their eyes are unfocused.’
The atmosphere of those blocking my path was somewhat strange.
Unfocused pupils.
It looked like a doll that had lost its soul.
Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t shake off the feeling of discomfort from that strange sensation.
“Hero. It’s a human! Go quickly and help me!”
“Just wait.”
“What’s there to worry about!? I’m about to be killed by those stupid demons!”
Rachel cried out urgently.
I understand what she is trying to say.
You’re on the edge of a cliff and need to grab onto anything to survive.
But Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
His instincts were screaming.
No matter how dangerous it may be, you cannot enter a tiger’s den to avoid wild dogs.
“Isn’t it strange? Why are there people here, why, at this time of all times?” “Now is not the time to be nitpicking. Can’t you tell when you see them? Those people are warriors!” “Okay, then go in.”
Choi Hyun-seok took Rachel into his arms.
Then he quickly rolled his eyes.
‘About fifty.’ ‘An Oriental appearance that is hard to find here.’ ‘Black hair that can only be seen among the Demon Tribe.’
Quickly analyze and synthesize some information.
It wasn’t that difficult to reach the conclusion.
brave.
As Rachel said, they were likely warriors.
‘The strange thing is, I can’t feel any magic power from these guys at all.’
This is Inemosit, a dangerous place where evil spirits roam.
This means that it is not a place where ordinary people without any magical powers can visit.
‘There’s definitely something…’
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok was biting his lip and thinking.
The man standing at the very front of the group of warriors walked out.
He had clear eyes, unlike the others who looked dim.
“I am warrior Taylor Andrew.”
The man’s name is Taylor Andrews.
As Choi Hyun-seok expected, he was a warrior.
At that moment, a long-awaited warrior quest notification popped into my mind.
★☆★☆ Warrior Quest! ★☆★☆
Oh no! We’ve come face to face with a group of evil warriors!
I don’t see any hope against those villains.
Survive somehow!
· Goal: Survival
· Additional Objective: Kill a group of warriors. · Reward: 1,000 warrior points.
Thanks to the quest that suddenly appeared, Choi Hyun-seok was able to find out two pieces of information.
One is that that group of warriors are the enemy.
Another thing is that they are ridiculously strong.
Just surviving will give you 1,000 hero points.
‘Avoid combat and let it pass naturally.’
Choi Hyun-seok waved his hand with a friendly smile.
“Oh! What a coincidence. I’m a warrior too. So, what brings you here?”
“The Demon
hunt.”
Taylor approaches, drawing his sword.
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with the most kind expression possible.
“Ah, the demon tribe
Hunting! That’s great! I’d be a devil if I were you too, would you mind joining me?”
“I refuse.”
“Well, then I guess there’s nothing I can do. Go do your own thing. I’ll go on my way. Haha!”

Choi Hyun-seok walked forward with a cheerful smile.
“Let’s deal with the demons and establish justice in the world! Fighting!”
Finally, he takes a fighting stance and walks towards the forest.
At that moment.
Squeak!
Choi Hyun-seok’s hair was cut off by the flying sword.
Cold sweat ran down my back.
When I looked back, I saw that the trees and rocks had all been cut down by the sword.
‘What power…’
If I hadn’t instinctively lowered my head, it would have been my neck that got cut off, not my hair.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Taylor with bewildered eyes.
“What, what are you doing between fellow warriors…?” “I will punish the traitor as well.” “Traitor? I told you I am a warrior too?” “I know you are a warrior. You can explain why you became a traitor after you are dead.”
“What the heck…”
It seemed like the battle was unavoidable.
It seemed like the guy already knew some information about me.
Choi Hyun-seok took a fighting stance and raised his magical power and magic energy.
‘A head-on confrontation is absolutely not possible.’
Even though it was only a single blow, you can tell for sure.
That warrior named Taylor is on a different level.
He is equivalent to a regiment commander in the Demon King’s army.
Maybe it was more than that.
‘Now that it’s come to this, let’s kill some time.’
So all we can do now is buy time.
We have no choice but to hold out until the other demons arrive.
‘Concentrate…’
Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes wide.
It was to not miss Taylor’s movements even for a moment.
I know from experience.
Speed and power.
An enemy who overpowers you in every way.
When fighting against such enemies, you must risk every moment.
That’s why I had to maintain such high concentration that my head almost split.
‘Coming!’
The moment Taylor thought he was going to hit the ground.
Before I knew it, the bastard was swinging his sword right in front of my eyes.
The speed was so tremendous that it was difficult to even react.
‘Don’t flinch.’
Choi Hyun-seok instinctively noticed.
In the current situation, clumsy evasion is rather poisonous.
There is only one thing you can do to survive now: take action.
‘Digging into the bastard’s arms.’
Choi Hyun-seok took a step forward.
A brief look of confusion crossed Taylor’s eyes, as if she hadn’t expected this response.
Pfft!
The sword grazed his shoulder, and a drop of blood sprayed into the air.
The sharp anticipation within it made me feel once again that the enemy’s level was overwhelming.
But Choi Hyun-seok didn’t stop.
You can’t stop to survive.
I had to constantly move and make moves.
‘No striking. Go for the unfamiliar grappling style.’
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed Taylor’s waist.
Even though he possesses overwhelming force, Taylor is also human.
His weight, including armor, is just over 100kg.
For Choi Hyun-seok, whose strength surpassed that of a human, that was a light weight.
‘Put it in…!’
Walk your legs, break your center of gravity, and turn around while holding it.
Taylor spins in the air in the blink of an eye.
I fell headfirst onto the floor.
Kuung!
Taylor’s neck is broken as he is thrown to the floor.
Choi Hyun-seok entered the link without stopping.
Aggressive magic boiling within.
For times like these, it was time to use the skills I had been accustomed to.
Raidrun style fighting techniques
Type 7 – Strike and destroy wave
A tightly clenched fist is brought down.
Taylor raised her hand to block it, even in the midst of confusion.
To begin with, the difference in power between the two is overwhelming.
Choi Hyun-seok’s fist could only be blocked in vain.
However, this was expected.
The real story started from now on.
Crackling…!
Raidrun-style martial arts, type 7 – Destructive Strike.
It is a technique that vibrates magic to send shock waves over a wide area.
It can be said to be a kind of wide-area machine.
There is a reason why I used area-of-effect techniques when the enemy was alone.
Even if the attack is blocked like now, the vibrating magic does not stop.
Choi Hyun-seok’s magic energy began to spread in all directions, passing through Taylor’s hand.
Kwakwakwang!
The vibrating magic shook the area and turned the ground upside down.
A thick cloud of dust suddenly obscures the view.
Taking advantage of the gap, Choi Hyun-seok quickly retreated.
“Whew… Whew…”
A connection made in the blink of an eye.
It was a brief moment, but I was breathing heavily because I had used all my strength.
Even though he was tired, Choi Hyun-seok kept his sharp eyes focused on the front.
It’s too early to feel relieved.
The enemy is still alive.
“What an annoying style.”
Taylor walked out through the dust.
He spat on the floor!
It was red spit mixed with blood.
‘Is that all it ends with…?’
Choi Hyun-seok’s face hardened.
As expected, the enemy is very strong.
Even though we put forth all our effort, the damage the enemy took was minimal.
The difference in basic abilities was too great.
‘Twice is hard. What should I do?’
This time, the bastard just couldn’t respond to the unexpected attack.
The next attack was also unlikely to succeed.
Choi Hyun-seok doesn’t have many cards left to play.
‘Do I have to use a plomot?’
A speculative plomot that I wanted to save until the very end.
At that time, I was seriously considering whether I should use it.
“Human! There you are!” “Wait! Even if you cut off at least one leg, you won’t die!” “Human! There are a lot of humans!”
The long-awaited reinforcements have arrived.
***
Warrior Taylor Andrew.
He stared ahead with fierce eyes.
The one at the end of the line of sight is the traitor warrior Choi Hyeon-seok.
The guy is panting for breath, as if he’s been exhausted for a while.
Taylor watched the scene closely.
‘This guy… what is his identity?’
I know some basic information about Choi Hyun-seok.
A traitor who was a warrior but entrusted himself to the Demon King’s army.
The force is not that strong, but it is growing quickly.
And for some unknown reason, it was one of the top priorities for removal.
One, Taylor’s question was not about such personal details.
‘It was only for a brief moment… but I couldn’t respond.’
He allowed Choi Hyun-seok to attack.
No, it would be more correct to say that I was beaten unilaterally, even if only for a little while.
‘Considering the guy and my powers, this is impossible.’
This is an objective fact, not arrogance.
There was an immeasurable gap between Taylor and Choi Hyun-seok.
Even though he was actually caught off guard, Taylor didn’t suffer much damage.
That’s why I couldn’t understand it even more.
Why did the overwhelmingly strong one have to suffer unilaterally?
Taylor’s mind became complicated.
‘And the last technique you used… it vibrated and released magic. It’s not a technique that can be used at that level.’
The last speculation used by Choi Hyun-seok.
It looked like he was simply putting magic energy into his fist and striking it down, but it wasn’t as simple a technique as it seemed.
It is a high-difficulty technique that can only be used by a demon of at least the rank of regiment commander in the Demon King’s army.
It wasn’t a technique that Choi Hyeon-seok, who barely seemed to be at the level of a battalion commander, could use.
‘The power of speculation is also strange. It is a power that could never be achieved at that level.’
There was another strange thing.
The output of the speculation used by Choi Hyun-seok was too high.
Typically, the horsepower used when using a single speculation is around 2-3% of the total.
Even if you force it, it will never exceed 5% of your total horsepower.
This also applies to the magic used by the Demonic Clan.
However, Choi Hyun-seok used more than 30% of his magical power at one time.
How is such control possible?
Even if it were possible, the body wouldn’t be able to withstand such high output.
That was common sense.
However, Choi Hyun-seok, who used such bizarre speculation, was fine.
Although he is out of breath, he does not appear to be in any great physical shock.
‘It’s full of strange things. Looking back, it didn’t make sense that I even avoided the first attack.’
The first time Taylor swung his sword.
He was truly determined to cut off Choi Hyun-seok’s head.
However, Choi Hyun-seok narrowly avoided death by lowering his head.
One might think it was just a minor evasion, but considering the gap between the two, it was definitely something unusual.
‘I thought he was just some weird guy who used magic and magical energy together… but there’s definitely something there.’
Why is a seemingly insignificant traitor a top priority for elimination?
I simply thought it was because he was a special being that used both magic and magic energy.
But I was able to find out after experiencing it firsthand.
‘He’s strange, no… dangerous.’
Taylor had no choice but to admit it.
Choi Hyun-seok is dangerous.
It’s easy to deal with now because the ability is low, but what about next time?
Although he is called a traitor, he is also a hero.
Someday you will level up and your abilities will increase.
It was clear that it would be extremely difficult to deal with him even if he had the specs of a regimental commander.
‘I guess I should nip it in the bud first.’
Irregular, using force outside the standard range.
Such variables should have been dealt with before they got any bigger.
The moment Taylor was about to move to kill Choi Hyun-seok.
“Human! There you are!” “Wait! Even if you cut off at least one leg, you won’t die!” “Human! There are a lot of humans!”
The demons participating in the game appeared.
Taylor smirked as he watched the guys come without him having to go looking for them.
‘Thanks for relieving me of the inconvenience.’
Today, no demon, including traitors, will be able to survive here.
