Episode 75
22 contestants emerged from the forest.
They stopped when they saw a large crowd of people gathered together.
“What? There are too many humans.” “Let’s kill them all!”
“Meat! There’s a lot of meat!”
Currently, the warriors are hiding their powers with hoods that conceal their magical powers.
Participants who were unaware of this fact were excited about the increase in lunch boxes.
The atmosphere was reminiscent of a festival.
Choi Hyun-seok bit his lip as he looked at the idiots who knew nothing.
‘The power is clearly human. If it sticks, the demon tribe will definitely break.’
Taylor, who just fought.
Even if he goes out alone, he will be able to deal with most of the participants.
Considering the 50 warriors waiting behind Taylor, the participants’ chances of winning are close to zero.
But Choi Hyun-seok intended to make them fight.
In the first place, combat is unavoidable.
Now, we have to buy some time somehow.
‘If we have to fight anyway, I should strike first before the sparks fly to me.’
Choi Hyun-seok took a deep breath.
“The insolent humans have invaded! Let’s show the power of our Demon King’s army!”
A loud voice echoed throughout the forest.
At the same time, the participants’ eyes widened.
“Wow! What an insolent human!” “We are the Demon King’s Army! Let’s defeat the humans!”
I felt an unknown strength rising from my body.
Choi Hyun-seok was no longer visible to the participants.
Rather, I wanted to tear apart and kill the evil(?) group of humans beyond that.
I have a feeling that I have to do that for some reason!
In the midst of the heightened atmosphere, Choi Hyun-seok drove the wedge in.
“Turn around!”
“Wow!”
“Today is a human meat party!”
The excited participants ran past Choi Hyun-seok and toward the warriors.
Choi Hyun-seok left the idiots who were rushing in without any reason and slowly slipped away.
‘I bought some time with this.’
Hidden abilities such as charisma and leadership skills shine.
An enemy that cannot be defeated in battle anyway.
If I could just buy some time, that would be enough.
“Kkaaaak!”
“Gweeek!”
As soon as the fight started, the participants’ screams could be heard realistically.
As expected, the enemy’s power seemed to be overwhelming.
‘The key is from now on…’
Up to this point, everything went according to plan.
The problem is this:
When all the participants die, Choi Hyun-seok’s turn naturally comes.
There is no answer to just running away like this.
The enemy’s power is literally overwhelming.
It was obvious that they would catch up soon.
As my worries deepened, I heard a voice from next to me.
I turned around in surprise and saw a familiar face.
“Where are you going?”
“Commander!?”
It was Regimental Commander Royger who was in charge of this match.
We had met a few times, so we were familiar with each other.
If Royger is in charge, he would know what is going on right now.
Choi Hyun-seok asked in an urgent voice.
“What the hell is going on!?” “The gate connecting to the black giant was destroyed by the human attack.”
“yes?”
“They said the gate was broken.”
A broken gate means the connection to the black giant has been lost.
Now, of course, we can’t go back to the black giant.
There will be no support from the Black Giant.
Choi Hyun-seok bit his lips tightly.
“Where are the other executives?”
It’s not just the participants who come to Inemosit.
Some fairly strong commanding officers, including Brigade Commander Royger, came over.
Their power is clearly superior to that of the participants.
If we join forces, we will definitely find a way out.
“They’re all dead.”

“Is that all…?”
“Yeah. I barely managed to escape with my life.”
“ha…”
The situation was more hopeless than expected.
All the executives who came to conduct the event were dead, and soon the participants would follow suit.
Choi Hyun-seok didn’t understand.
Why am I being treated so vainly?
There were obviously only strong people of battalion commander level or higher here.
And yet, it couldn’t even stop 50 people.
It didn’t make sense.
“How strong is the enemy that we are being treated like this?” “All of them are battalion commanders or higher. Three are regimental commanders. One of them is almost at the level of a division commander.”
It was clear that the division commander was referring to Taylor.
Because that bastard’s terrible grip could not have come out without reaching that level.
In addition, the rest of the warriors are all of high level.
There just seemed no chance of winning.
“You’d better give up on doing anything. All you can do now is run away.” “Can you survive if you run away?” “If I were alone. But you’d definitely be caught. There’s a tracking spell.”
“yes!?”
Choi Hyun-seok was surprised at the mention of tracking magic.
I didn’t notice anything like that at all.
It seemed like Taylor was up to something.
“It’s a simple yet powerful spell. I can try to dispel it, but enemies will come before I can.”
“…”
“Give up. You are the one favored by the Commander, so if you have any last words, I will convey them to the Commander.”
“Roger said it out of kindness,” he said.
I know he meant it well, but it still makes me feel annoyed.
‘Is that what you call comfort now?’
Favor? Any last words?
How can you say something like that so calmly?
Who the hell do you think got you into this f*cking situation?
I grabbed him by the collar and forced myself to hold back what I wanted to ask.
‘It’s too early to give up.’
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes opened fiercely.
No matter how overwhelming the enemy was, I never thought of giving up before even fighting.
“I will survive. So don’t treat me like I’m dead.” “I guess you still don’t understand the situation. There’s nothing you can do right now.”
“there is.”
Choi Hyun-seok said with confidence.
He took the bead out of his bosom and turned it on.
A holographic map appears.
Not far away, a purple dot appeared to twinkle.
“From now on, I will go to where this demon is.”
Roger was embarrassed.
You suddenly want to go to a place where there is a devil?
Are you thinking of committing suicide?
“What are you going to do there?” “Didn’t you say earlier? It’s impossible to shake off the enemy’s pursuit.”
Roger nodded.
As Choi Hyun-seok said, it is impossible to shake off the enemy’s pursuit now.
But since I can’t win the fight, the only thing left is to die.
Rogers was skeptical.
What does the person in front of me do in this desperate situation?
“If you can’t shake off the pursuit, there’s only one way.”
“What is that method?”
“I’m going to kill them all so they can’t chase me.”
An evil smile appeared on Choi Hyun-seok’s face.
***
Warrior Taylor Andrews wiped the blood from his sword.
He slowly looks around.
“Did you run away…”
The traitor warrior is nowhere to be seen.
It seemed like he ran away while dealing with other demons.
“Tsk.”
Taylor clicked his tongue.
It looks like it adds a little more effort, but it’s not a problem.
Because I put a tracking spell on the traitor.
Taylor immediately led his warriors on the move.
How long did you run like that?
Suddenly Taylor’s expression hardened.
‘You’re doing something annoying…’
I feel a strong magical energy.
Perhaps the ruler of this region, the demon lord.
The traitor seemed to be planning to use his power to survive.
‘It’s not that I can’t handle it.’
Fortunately, this is the entrance to Inemosit.
I was confident that I could win even if he was the local ruler.
Taylor kept moving.
Finally, the devil begins to appear in the distance.
“Floclades… This is my first time seeing it in person.”
Taylor knew the devil’s name.
I had only seen him briefly in past books, but I recognized him immediately.
The appearance of the demon called ‘Floclade’ was unique.
Growwowowowowow-!
The bastard felt more like a small mountain than a demon.
A round, massive body.
At the top, there were a lot of things sticking out that looked like flowers.
In between, thousands of tentacles shaped like tree trunks emerged and swam through the air.
‘It’s become annoying…’
Taylor’s expression crumpled.
Floclades are no pushover.
To deal with him, all the warriors gathered here, including myself, must rush in.
‘You can hunt them, but the damage would be too great.’
After thinking about it for a moment, Taylor made a decision.
“Draw the devil’s attention. Once I deal with the traitor, he will leave immediately.”
Leave the floclate alone.
Anyway, the target is the traitor warrior.
The mission is over if you kill the traitor while the other warriors distract Floclade.
There will be some sacrifices, but it will be far better than hunting the Ploclades yourself.
Taat! Blame!
The fifty warriors scattered in all directions.
Taylor looked around quickly.
‘Found it.’
Finding the traitor wasn’t that difficult.
The guy was standing right next to Florclade.
Taylor turned up the horsepower.
‘I’ll finish it right away.’
I have no intention of wasting time.
I’ll do my best to handle it all at once.
Taylor kicked the ground as if he was being shot.
Just before reaching the traitor.
Magic power exploded from his body.
Advanced Warrior Swordsmanship
Type 1 – The Way of the Warrior
Advanced warrior swordsmanship.
This skill, which can be purchased at the warrior shop, is something that most warriors of a certain level are familiar with.
Universal and common speculation.
But its power was anything but ordinary.
Phew!
A powerful vertical slash that swings upward from below.
Taylor’s sword skimmed across the floor.
The black energy shot out at incredible speed, scratching the ground along its path.
Quagagagagak!
The advanced sword energy reaches the traitor in the blink of an eye.
For a moment, something caught Taylor’s eye.
‘Did you avoid it…?’
He swung his sword, and the sword energy reached the traitor in literally an instant.
It wasn’t a speed that could be avoided at the traitor’s level.
‘Your combat sense is good, but your eyesight is incomprehensibly good. Your reaction speed is abnormally fast compared to your skills.’
What I felt in the previous clash was not an illusion.
The traitor had an eye for detail that was out of his league.
Taylor didn’t know it, but there was a reason for this.
Traitor, Choi Hyun-seok’s usual sparring partner was Raidrun.
In terms of fighting skills alone, he fought with Raidran, one of the best in the entire Demon King’s army, almost every other day.
It couldn’t be helped that the reaction speed was not good.
‘I have to kill him before he grows any further.’
Taylor was once again convinced of his thoughts.
The most important thing in this mission is to kill the traitorous warrior.
‘This little rat bastard…!’
But things didn’t go as easily as expected.
As time passes, Taylor’s expression becomes more and more urgent.
‘How lucky am I!?’
The traitor ran away really well.
There were several instances where he almost lost his neck, but he narrowly avoided the attacks.
I seriously thought that maybe God was helping me.
Taylor gritted his teeth as he watched the traitor hide again behind the giant demon Floclade as a shield.
‘What the hell is that weird speculation…!’
There was another reason why Taylor could not deal with the traitor.
It is a tactic used by traitors.
It was a strange form of fighting I had never seen before, as if magic and magical power were mixed together.
Now, I found myself flinching involuntarily whenever a purple light burst out.
“It really, really annoys me…”
Taylor roughly ran a hand through her hair.
At that moment, a giant tentacle flew down from the sky.
Taylor’s sword moved like lightning.
Squeak!
“I’m dying from annoyance at this guy and that guy…”
No matter what, the biggest problem was the floclades.
That annoying demon left the traitor clinging to him and attacked only himself and the other warriors.
If that guy hadn’t interfered, things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.
Taylor sighed.
‘The Pope will say something.’
In the meantime, nearly twenty warriors were killed.
It is difficult to allow any more casualties to occur.
From the beginning, this operation was intended to use overwhelming force to hunt down the enemy without causing any damage.
But so many warriors have died…
When I get back, the Pope will give me a hard time.
‘There’s nothing we can do. We have to deal with Floclade now.’
If things continue like this, the damage will only get worse.
If we were not careful, the hunting of the floclades itself could become impossible.
If that happens, I will have no choice but to let that traitor go.
At that moment.
The traitor next to Florclade raised his hand.
At the same time, Taylor’s face crumples like a piece of paper.
‘That son of a bitch…’
The traitor smirked and raised his hand.
He smiles victoriously, as if he were reading Taylor’s thoughts.
At this moment, Floclade was even more angry that he was not attacking the guy as if they were on the same side.
‘Laugh out loud. There won’t be much time left…!’
Taylor gritted his teeth.
First, kill the Floclades.
After that, I will punish that insolent traitor.
Since I’ve cast a tracking spell on it anyway, I can catch it even if it runs away.
If necessary, you can order other warriors to watch over the traitor to prevent him from escaping.
‘I will skin your face alive so you will never smile again.’
Taylor swallowed his anger and kicked the ground, jumping out.
