Episode 79
Something racing through the forest at incredible speed.
The speed at which it ran was too fast to follow with the eyes.
Every time it touched the ground it made a loud noise.
Sand dust was blowing in all directions.
The forest was suddenly filled with an unusual commotion due to the spreading noise and magic.
“Kkieek!”
“Keruk! Run away!”
Something that terrifies forest creatures just by running.
Its true identity is…!
“Choi Hyunseo, my goodness!”
It was a raid.
Raidrun was running with all his might.
The destination is Inemosit, the land of demons.
Originally, we had to use a space travel gate, but the gate was destroyed by humans.
Thanks to that, Raidrun was running all the way to Inemosit with his sturdy legs.
“Hold on a little longer! I’m coming!”
The distance from the Black Giant to the entrance of Inemost is over 500 km.
It wasn’t a short distance, and it wasn’t something you could reach by running…
Raidrun made the impossible possible.
About three hours after he left the black giant.
The inemosit was already beginning to come into his sight.
“Huh! Huh! Just a little more and we’ll be fine!”
Sweat poured down like crazy from Raidrun’s entire body.
More than half of the magic had already been blown away, and my legs were shaking so much that I had difficulty even standing.
Still, Raidrun ran at full speed.
Kwah! Kwah! Kwah!
Every time he stepped on the ground, a sandstorm would occur, and his new form would shoot out like a shell from a cannon.
It was a raid run that was more difficult than any battle they had ever fought before.
‘Is this finally the gate…’
The gate began to appear in the distance.
‘I guess I’ll rest for about 3 minutes to recover my stamina before dealing with the humans.’
Raidrun’s plan was this.
Take a short break to recover your strength.
Deal with all the arrogant humans who dared to attack Choi Hyun-seok and the Demon King’s Army.
Afterwards, the gate is restored and the Black Giant is returned.
‘No. There’s no time to rest! Choi Hyun-seok could be in some kind of danger at this very moment!’
Now that I think about it, even a three-minute break is a luxury.
Choi Hyun-seok’s life may be in danger right now.
In this situation, there is no such thing as rest.
At that moment, Raidrun decided to deal with the humans right away.
I could spot two men next to the gate.
“Choi Hyun-seok…?”
It was Choi Hyun-seok, half-dead, and regimental commander Royger.
***
Raidrun was very happy when he heard the whole story.
“Hahahaha! Dealing with those people. Choi Hyun-seok. As expected from a man I recognize!”
Raidrun laughed heartily and slapped Choi Hyun-seok on the back.
At that moment, blood suddenly gushed out from Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth.
“Cough!”
“I, I’m sorry! Are you okay!?” “I think I’m going to die…”
Currently, Choi Hyun-seok is barely able to breathe due to the side effects of the flumot.
Although he wasn’t immediately dead due to drinking high-grade potions in succession, he was still seriously injured.
It was like holding broken pottery together with tape to maintain its shape.
It was imperative that he rest until he was fully healed.
Raidrun made a pitiful expression.
“Choi Hyun-seok! Sit over here. I will treat you.”
He puts his hand on Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder and says.
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok suddenly stood up.
“Oh, I’m fine! Treatment!” “Hmm, but I think it would be better to get treatment…” “I’m fine. Look! I’m so healthy! Haha!”
Choi Hyun-seok suddenly started jumping with his arms spread out.
‘What is this crazy little brain going to do now!’
Previously, Raidrun had an experience where he almost died after injecting magic into Choi Hyun-seok to cure him.
Of course, things are different now than they were then.
Choi Hyun-seok can now freely control magic.
When using the Flomote, horns may grow on the head like a demon.
Still, I didn’t want to receive Raidrun’s treatment.
You could call it a kind of PTSD.

‘There’s no Mr. Abelson here either…’
There is no Abelson Marriott here, which specializes in treatment.
If something went wrong, I would have died.
I didn’t want to take any unnecessary risks.
“Keuk, huh! Since I’m so fine… I politely decline treatment.”
Choi Hyun-seok stubbornly refused treatment even though he was sweating profusely in pain.
Raidran nodded reluctantly.
“Understood. Go back to the Black Giant and have the Saint heal you…”
Raidran lowered his head with a sullen look on his face, like a man who had been rejected for a date.
Choi Hyun-seok brought up a different story to change the subject.
“Ahem, Lord Raidrun. By the way, what should we do now?”
“What should I do?”
“The gate is broken too… isn’t it really far to the black giant?”
Choi Hyun-seok and Royger are extremely exhausted.
It’s hard enough to even stand, so running to the black giant is out of the question.
No, even if you were sane, you wouldn’t do something like that.
It’s crazy that a raid run of over 500km was completed in just 3 hours.
“Don’t worry. I brought the materials to build the gate.”
Raidrun took out various devices from his bosom.
Some of them looked like jewels, while others had many interesting patterns drawn on them.
Some of them even looked like mechanical devices.
“Are you saying that you’re going to build the gate here yourself?” “It shouldn’t be difficult.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a trembling face.
‘Can something like a space travel gate be made so easily…?’
Just the junk that Raidrun took out right now is a bundle.
How do you assemble that to make a gate?
Even Raidrun was a fighter.
Although the sight of muscles twitching over red skin felt magical.
Those muscles didn’t guarantee magical powers.
“Hmm, is this how it’s done?”
Choi Hyun-seok cautiously approached Royger while Raidrun was preparing for this and that on his own.
He whispered in Roger’s ear.
“Mr. Royger. This thing called a gate. Is it easy to make?”
“no.”
Rogers answered curtly.
“Even if you have the materials, the experts have to stick around for a day.” “…So, is Mr. Raidran really that good at magic, like a professional?” “Well, I’ve never heard of Mr. Raidran using magic.” “What happens if… the gate goes wrong?” “You die the moment you enter.”
As the conversation continued, Choi Hyun-seok’s expression darkened.
‘Ah… I feel like I’m really going to die…’
Although he desperately tried to pretend that he was okay, Choi Hyun-seok was really in bad shape.
To be honest, it’s a miracle that I’m not losing consciousness.
This means that it is not the time to relax and not receive treatment.
‘Should I really get treatment from Raidrun…?’
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok was seriously contemplating.
Raidrun stood up from his seat.
“It’s finished.”
“Huh? Are you done already?”
It had only been an hour since Raidrun had been tinkering with something.
“Stay away. You might be influenced negatively by the magic.”
Raidrun clasped his hands together in prayer.
Soon, a tremendous amount of magical energy begins to flow out of his body.
Wooooow!
The magic circle on the floor glowed brightly and a gate appeared.
However, there was something strange about the gate that was created.
It was half the size of a black curtain, and it was rippling around in a very unsettling way.
Raidrun nodded with a satisfied expression, not seeming to find it strange.
“It’s disposable, but it’s not bad.”
Choi Hyun-seok glanced at Roger.
“Is that okay…?” “I’ll give up the lead. I’ll go in last.”
“It is fatal.”
As the two hesitated, Raidrun approached.
“What are you doing? Go quickly.”
“yes…”
“Choi Hyun-seok, go in first.” “Me first…?” “You should go and get treatment quickly.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been rolling his eyes here and there, soon gave up and stood in front of the gate.
“I…”
When I look back, Raidrun is looking at me with an expression on his face, wondering what I’m doing instead of going in.
Choi Hyun-seok sighed.
‘Please just save me.’
After a brief prayer, we step into the gate.
Woof!
The gate is shaking.
Choi Hyun-seok felt his stomach turn.
“Ugh…”
It felt completely different from the normal gates I had passed through before.
I felt like I had to throw everything inside me out right away.
“Huh… Huh… Have we arrived…?”
Choi Hyun-seok, who soon came to his senses, raised his head with difficulty.
Then a familiar sight appeared.
It was a black giant.
“Fortunately, I arrived safely… um?”
The place we arrived at was definitely a black giant.
But it was very different from when Choi Hyun-seok started.
“What is this?”
The black giant was half destroyed.
A huge castle the size of a city was destroyed.
Moreover, the sky was completely black, and it looked like a scene from the end of the century.
“Did I get this right…? Did I perhaps time travel to the future where the Demon King’s army was defeated…”
As Choi Hyun-seok muttered, he felt a strong magical energy from far away that was so strong it made his flesh tremble.
A powerful magical energy that cannot be compared to what Raidrun had released just a moment ago.
It was a familiar magic to Choi Hyun-seok.
‘Lips monster…?’
Hemis’s magic enveloped the entire black giant.
***
“f*ck… I’m going to die if I keep doing this.”
Park Hyun-ah spat.
The saliva stuck stickily to the floor was dark red and mostly dead blood.
When I raised my head, I saw the person who had caused all this.
“Snout. Isn’t this enough?”
Hemis the Gourmet.
She was floating in the air, looking down at Park Hyun-ah.
Unlike Park Hyun-ah, who was half-dead, Hemis looked completely unscathed.
“Oh ho ho. What does that mean, enough?” “You know that too. I’m not a traitor.”
“I don’t know?”
Hemis chuckled.
Park Hyun-ah’s face became even more distorted.
‘That girl… is using me as a punching bag to vent her anger.’
I heard that it has been over 100 years since Hemis last appeared on the battlefield.
That means Hemis has been stuck on this black giant for 100 years.
While he was feeling so suffocated, something happened that made Hemis angry.
I happened to be in that place and ended up like a sandbag.
“By the way, you’ve gotten quite strong. I don’t think you could have lasted this long three years ago. Are you calling yourself a warrior?” “Did you get dementia from living so long? It’s been three years since you quit the warrior business, so what’s a warrior?” “Oh, don’t deny it.”
Hemis approaches slowly.
Hemis, standing in front, raised his hand and stroked Park Hyun-ah’s chin.
“No matter what anyone says, you are a warrior. A human warrior can never become a demon.”
“…”
“How long did you think you could survive by using your brain?”
Park Hyun-ah hit Hemis’ hand hard!
“Stop being a jerk. What do you think the Demon King would do if he found out you were acting like this?” “It’s funny how you go looking for the Demon King when the hero is at a disadvantage! Hohohohoho!” “That f*cking laugh always makes me feel like shit… Kekekeke!”
At that moment, Hemis reached out and grabbed Park Hyun-ah’s neck.
“You bat-like bitch. How dare you mention the Demon King?”
“Ugh…”
“I hope you don’t misunderstand. The Demon King won’t be watching over you forever.” “Ugh, ugh…!
“I have been watching over you since the time the Demon King was breastfeeding. Even if I kill you here, wouldn’t the Demon King just click his tongue? Don’t you think so too?”
Park Hyun-ah’s face gradually turns red.
I tried to resist, but my body wouldn’t listen.
The tentacles coming out of Hemis’ mouth began to wrap around Park Hyun-ah’s body.
“Still, thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to relax for the first time in a while.”
“That, that’s enough…”
“Okay. Just die now.”
The tentacles surrounding Park Hyun-ah’s body tighten even more.
If things continue like this, Park Hyun-ah’s body will be torn to pieces.
Park Hyun-ah’s breath almost stops.
“Mr. Hemis. Please do it that far.”
A familiar voice came from behind her.
At the same time, Hemis’ lips distorted.
“Mr. Hemis.”
The voice is heard once again.
Hemis reluctantly turned back.
Then a large, cow-headed demon appeared.
“This is a message from the Demon King telling you to stop now.”
Ozges was the leader of the Cowden clan, to which Raidrun belonged, and the commander of the 5th Army of the Demon King’s Army.
