Episode 78
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the sky with tired eyes.
I squint my eyes slightly at the sunlight streaming through the leaves.
‘Ah… I feel like I’m going to die.’
It wasn’t just empty words, I really felt like I was going to die.
After using the plomot, the horns on the head also disappeared.
Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t move a finger due to the overwhelming feeling of helplessness.
Rachel came over and placed her hand on Choi Hyun-seok’s forehead.
“Sir. Are you okay?”
“no…”
“Just wait a moment! I will treat you!”
Rachel wasn’t playing around like usual.
When we learned that Choi Hyun-seok’s condition was serious, we immediately began treatment.
Woof…
A bright light emanates from her hands.
Choi Hyun-seok’s wounds healed and closed on their own.
But soon the wound opened again and blood gushed out.
“I don’t have enough magic power…”
Rachel and Choi Hyun-seok share magical powers.
That means, if Choi Hyun-seok’s magic power runs out, there’s nothing Rachel can do.
Choi Hyun-seok’s magical power was almost depleted due to continuous battles.
Naturally, the magical power to cure him was insufficient.
Rachel looked at Choi Hyun-seok with an impatient expression.
“Hero. What should I do…?” “It’s okay. Even if I had magical powers, it would have been difficult to heal.”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head with difficulty.
You know your own condition best.
‘It’s not at a level where treatment can help.’
All the organs in my body were ruptured.
Even if Rachel were to provide treatment, it would only be a stopgap measure.
Abelson was needed to heal a wound like this.
‘The gate is broken anyway. Mr. Abelson won’t come here, so I’ll just die without a fight…’
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the sky with empty eyes.
‘I don’t want to go like this…’
Consciousness gradually fades.
The eyes become unfocused.
Just before I lose my mind.
“Wake up, warrior!” Bam!
Rachel hit Choi Hyun-seok on the bridge of his nose.
“What the hell! What the hell are you doing!?” “Okay. Drink this!”
Rachel thrust something like a glass bottle into him.
Choi Hyun-seok had no choice but to swallow the liquid that was rushing in as he brought it to his mouth without thinking.
‘Ugh, this tastes so bad.’
It tastes like the strawberry-flavored syrup cold medicine I used to eat as a child.
Choi Hyun-seok forcibly emptied the bottle and wiped his lips.
“Ugh…! What is this disgusting thing?”
“It’s a potion!”
“Potion? The healing potion from that game?” “Yes! Here’s another bottle, so drink that too.”
Rachel hands him another bottle.
Choi Hyun-seok, who accepted it without thinking, checked the detailed information.
□ Advanced Healing Potion
Description: A potion rumored to bring back a dead person with just one bottle. It does not actually bring the dead back to life, but it has a fairly excellent effect.
Abilities: Heals wounds and restores a small amount of magic power.
Required Warrior Points: 500
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened when he saw the item price.
“Oh, five hundred points!? Is this what I just drank?” “Yes. There were exactly two. Drink those too quickly.” “How can I afford something this expensive…” “I’m about to die, so why do those warrior points matter!?”
“Oh, I see.”
Choi Hyun-seok gulped down the potion.
Since it’s 500 points, it somehow feels like the taste has become more luxurious.
Strawberry flavored syrup cold medicine has now turned into strawberry flavored premium ice cream.
As always, everything depends on how you think about it.
“Ugh…! As expected, things that are good for you taste good!”
Is it because I drank two bottles worth 500 points each?
I feel like I’m already getting a response.
Choi Hyun-seok put down the empty bottle with his breathing becoming much lighter.
“Rachel. Where did you put this?” “I found it among the dead warriors.”
“Dead warrior?”
“Yes. I think there were some guys who had inventory.”
Inventory.

This is an ability that Park Hyun-ah recommended to purchase from the warrior shop.
Choi Hyun-seok wasn’t there yet, but it seems like there was someone among the enemies who had the inventory.
“Oh, come to think of it, sometimes when you die, something falls.”
“Was it so?”
“Oh. I guess it was a system where when you die, you vomit out all the items in your inventory.”
I thought something would drop during battle sometimes, but I didn’t know it was inventory.
Choi Hyun-seok slowly looked around.
I saw quite a few items piled up near the corpses of some of the warriors.
“That thing called the warrior system. It’s so cruel.”
“why?”
“That’s right. Even if you kill the same warrior, your level goes up, and they even give you items like this. It feels like they’re encouraging each other to kill each other.” “Hmm, now that I hear it, that’s true…”
Rachel stroked her chin as if thinking about something.
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok got up from his seat, trembling.
“Whew, now that I feel a little better, I guess I should get moving.”
Choi Hyun-seok walks towards the body.
Rachel looked at him with a worried expression.
‘Sir. Are you suffering from guilt over having committed murder…?’
Choi Hyun-seok killed countless people this time.
Although he had killed many demons and demons before, this was actually the first time he had killed a person directly.
‘Maybe he’s trying to make a grave for me.’
How dare you try to build a grave when your body is not even healthy.
Rachel’s heart ached and she wiped her eyes.
“Sir, stop it. They are villains anyway.” “Huh? What are you talking about?”
“You don’t have to try so hard.”
Choi Hyun-seok frowned at Rachel’s words.
“Hey. Even if you’re a villain, you have to get the items.”
“yes?”
“You don’t have to take all those precious things!”
“…”
“While we’re at it, let’s take off our armor and take all our weapons with us. These guys’ equipment is no joke!”
Rachel made a dumbfounded expression.
“Sir. Just now, didn’t you have a serious expression on your face and say that the system is cruel or something?” “That’s that, and this is this.”
“…”
I was ashamed that I had ever worried for even a moment about the devil disguised as a warrior.
Even though you’re dying, you still think about collecting equipment and items.
The truly cruel thing may not be the system, but the warrior himself.
Choi Hyun-seok nagged at Rachel, who was standing still.
“Rachel. What are you standing there for? Aren’t you going to pack your gear?”
Rachel jumped to her feet.
“No way! Let’s take them all without leaving a single ring behind!” “Okay. Let’s take them all!”
In fact, Rachel didn’t care from the beginning.
Other warriors, whether they die or not!
As long as Choi Hyun-seok is alive, that’s enough.
I was just worried for a moment that Choi Hyun-seok might feel mental pain.
“Oh, warrior! Look at this! This ring looks really nice!?”
Rachel smiled brightly as she took the ring from the corpse.
***
It took longer than I thought to collect the items.
They stripped all the warriors of their equipment and collected every single item that fell from their inventories, creating a small hill.
“Whew~ There are a lot of people.” “That’s right. The guy who did the toilet or something was the best.” “That’s right. That guy was a total treasure trove.”
As expected of the strongest warrior, Taylor Andrew had a lot of items.
About half of all the items came from his inventory.
“Well, it seems like it’s mostly just junk for a treasure trove… but it’s better than nothing.”
Choi Hyun-seok said while roughly looking through the items.
“That’s right! But, sir.”
“why?”
“How are you going to move this? You don’t have any inventory.”
Choi Hyun-seok has no inventory.
That means there’s no way to move around with all this stuff.
Rachel’s questions continued.
“I’ll buy one while I’m at it! Don’t they sell inventory at the warrior shop?” “I looked for it but I couldn’t find it, I think I need to upgrade it again.” “Hmm, what should I do then?” “It’s okay. I have this.”
Choi Hyun-seok held out a dark backpack.
“What is this…?”
“I thought I might need it, so I set it aside.”
□ Excellent Magic Backpack
Description: A magical backpack that reduces the volume inside the bag by 100 times and the weight of its contents by 1/10th.
Ability: Volume expands 100 times, weight decreases by 1/10.
Required Warrior Points: 500
“Oh, if it’s a space-expanding backpack, I guess I can fit almost everything in it.”
Rachel immediately recognized the identity of the backpack.
There are a total of three magic backpacks received from the warriors.
With this, you should be able to carry most things.
“But, if I just have this bag, I don’t need inventory, right?”
“yes?”
“If a bag costs 500 points, the inventory will be much more expensive.” “Of course. It’ll probably cost a few thousand points.” “Then why bother spending so many points on it? You can just use a backpack.” “No, no. The inventory is on a whole other level! It’s incredibly spacious, and you can’t feel the weight at all. It even has a permanent storage function!”
Rachel passionately explained the functions of the inventory.
“Besides, if my bag gets stolen, I’ll lose all my possessions. On the other hand, I can keep my inventory with me until the day I die.” “Hmm, now that I hear it, that’s true.”
After hearing the explanation, it seemed like we would need inventory for many reasons.
If you think about it, it was natural that Park Hyun-ah, who had been a warrior for a long time, would first recommend inventory.
“Phew, it’s over.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
After a while.
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel were able to pack all the items into three backpacks.
When it seemed like everything was over, Royger, who had been waiting nearby, approached.
“It looks good.”
“Yes. It’s solid! Haha.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled brightly, feeling happy after collecting a lot of items.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“I think I can bear it somehow because these friends gave me a lot of expensive potions as gifts.”
To be honest, I’m still not in good shape.
When you return to the Black Giant, you will definitely need to receive Abelson’s treatment.
While I was picking up the items, I felt fine because the endorphins were rushing in, but after I finished cleaning up, I started feeling like I was going to die again.
‘It won’t matter, I’ll be returning to the Black Giant soon.’
Choi Hyun-seok decided to endure it.
You will be able to receive treatment from Abelson in just a little while.
“Anyway, thank you for waiting.” “It’s nothing. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
Roiger was dedicated to recovering from the side effects of the flu.
That’s why Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t help organize the items.
‘Even so, I don’t really have a reason to feel sorry…’
Honestly, Choi Hyun-seok was grateful that Royger didn’t claim ownership of these items.
To begin with, Roger is also a superior.
But I was a little embarrassed because he said sorry first.
It’s a communication that’s not at all like the Demon King’s Army.
Choi Hyun-seok, who felt strange, coughed for no reason and changed the subject.
“Ahem, anyway, I think it’s time to go back now.”
“You’re going back?”
“Shouldn’t we go to the Black Giant?”
Choi Hyun-seok asked as if it was something that was obvious.
“I can’t go back.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t the gate broken?” “Oh, then should I walk…?” “The distance from here to the Black Giant is over 500km. Even if you run all day, it will take three days.”
Choi Hyun-seok kept his mouth shut.
I feel like I’m going to die just standing still, but you want me to run over 500km?
There’s no guarantee that a fight won’t break out in the middle.
This just meant to die.
“Uh… Is there no way?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Rogers cut it short.
“Then, if we wait here for support from the Black Giant…” “The enemy may be faster than the support coming from the Black Giant.” “Then what should we do?”
“We have to go to the black giant. Run.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes shook without mercy.
‘I thought I barely survived, but this is how I’m going to die?’
Absolutely impossible.
With my current physical condition, I would have a hard time running even 50 km, let alone 500 km.
At that time, when Choi Hyun-seok was in despair.
A sandstorm began to form in the distance.
Choi Hyun-seok and Royger squinted their eyes and looked at the sandstorm happening in the distance.
“Do you see that?”
“okay.
“Doesn’t it seem like we’re getting closer?” “It seems so.”
The sandstorm is getting closer.
Soon, a faint noise began to be heard.
Boom…! Boom! Boom!
A sandstorm is getting closer.
The noise level also increases.
“Hey, what’s that!?” “I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s best to prepare for battle.”
Something unidentified is approaching at a terrifying speed.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Roger with an ominous feeling.
“Commander. Wouldn’t it be better to run away now?” “You can’t run away. Even if I run at full speed, I can’t run at that speed.”
“then…?”
“Let’s pray that it will be our side’s victory.”
