Episode 89
Rachel explained passionately, using gestures with her hands and feet.
“… That’s what happened!”
“hmm.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who heard the whole story, was lukewarm.
He opened his mouth with a dubious expression.
“You’re not lying, are you?” “I’m telling you, Rachel herself! She heard everything that little rat said!”
Rachel said, straightening her shoulders.
From what I’ve seen of Rachel so far, that’s true.
It was a pose that Rachel would take when she was very confident and bragging about something.
Choi Hyun-seok fell into thought again.
‘It’s quite possible.’
Given the circumstances, it is likely that Rachel’s words are true.
This is because all the questions that had been lingering were resolved.
The anger of Rotak that was glimpsed in front of Hemis.
Yet, the excessive kindness shown to oneself.
It felt excessive to say that it was simply because of Hemis’ orders or the devil’s oath.
If, as Rachel says, Rotak is plotting something else, then all these questions are answered.
‘I guess he’s giving it away generously since it’s going to end up in his hands anyway.’
He waited patiently.
The day when everything will be in your hands.
“Rahel. If Park Hyun-ah and the Rat Kid join forces, the Lip Monster will be defeated, right?” “Wouldn’t that be the case? No matter how strong the Lip Monster is, it would be too much for the two Legion Commanders.”
From my experience, I know that Hemis is stronger than other legion commanders.
From Choi Hyun-seok’s perspective, they are all monsters outside the standard with a combat power of over 200,000.
There is a certain hierarchical relationship among them.
Still, one cannot help but be skeptical about the question, ‘Can Hemis win against two legion commanders?’
Honestly, I didn’t think it was very likely.
As his thoughts continued, Choi Hyun-seok’s expression darkened.
“That rat… I didn’t like him from the start.” “Warrior, what should I do? I have to tell the lip monster about this quickly.” “There’s no way right now. If I go back to the black giant at this timing, he’ll be more suspicious.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s treatment is progressing smoothly, and he has achieved tremendous growth.
But what would people think if I suddenly said I was going back?
And why on earth did he come up with the plan to hit Hemis?
It’s obvious that you’ll be suspicious.
I couldn’t take that risk.
If you’re not careful, you could be locked up before you can even do anything.
Or the skull would split open on the spot.
“First of all, we can’t show that we noticed something. Just be natural like you have been.” “And then?”
“I need to think about that some more.”
Choi Hyun-seok is worried.
How can I convey this crisis to Hemis?
Then something flashed.
“Rachel. That communication port. Can you use it?” “No. It’s magically powered.”
“Then me?”
If the communication device were a magically operated device, would you be able to use it?
Rachel shook her head.
“It’s not as simple as just injecting magic. It requires a complicated process. It’s absolutely impossible for the current warrior.” “Then communication won’t work… What should we do?”
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t find the answer.
There was absolutely no way to contact Hemis.
‘Then I have to find out what I can do here and now.’
Choi Hyun-seok decided to change the direction of his thinking.
Can’t I get through this situation on my own?
What weapon do you have?
What is his weakness?
The worries continue.
“Ha, this is f*cking crazy.”
“why?”
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of a solution.” “Sir. Let’s keep it simple and stop using your brain that’s not even good at using it!”
Choi Hyun-seok stared at Rachel.
It was a look that asked, “What does that mean?”
“Hero. Listen!”
Rachel looked sullen.
“If it was obvious that someone was going to stab me in the back, what would you do, warrior?”
A sudden stabbing.
For a moment I was taken aback by the harsh vocabulary.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been worrying, opened his mouth.
“You have to kill me before you stab me.”
“That’s it!”
“huh?”

“Let’s stab them first before they get hit in the back of the head.”
It was the moment when a knife was loaded into Rachel’s head.
***
Senior Researcher Radk.
Like the other researchers here, the Scavin clan
By origin, it has a rat-like appearance.
Radk was one of the most promising researchers in the Magic Tower.
He was trusted by Corps Commander Rotak and was in charge of a part of the core project, Chimera Research.
“Tick tock! Today is going smoothly too.”
A smile appeared on Radk’s face.
Research on chimeras, which had been blocked by a wall recently, is progressing rapidly.
This is because Rotak, the owner of the Magic Tower, has obtained good data.
‘You said Choi Hyun-seok? He’s a pretty useful test subject for a human being!’
While helping Choi Hyun-seok with his treatment, Lotak was extracting data in his own way.
The entire Magic Tower was bustling with activity as a new system and concept that had never existed before was introduced.
‘I wonder what the results will be if we study Choi Hyun-seok properly someday! Squeak squeak!’
I haven’t properly studied Choi Hyun-seok yet.
A small amount of data that can be obtained simply by observation.
This alone has brought about great results in comparison to existing research.
I was already excited to see what kind of data would come out once we started the full-scale experiment.
At that moment, the automatic door behind Radk opened with a squeaking noise.
At the same time, Radk chuckled.
‘They say even orcs will come if you call them!’
The person who appeared was Choi Hyeon-seok.
He was wearing strange-looking goggles and was looking around as if he was searching for something.
“What’s going on? This is not the place for you to come in.”
The place where Radk was was where the key materials for chimera research were stored.
It’s the Magi Ampoule.
This is not a typical magic ampoule, but an ampoule that contains a special type of magic energy that is highly concentrated.
Many of the now extinct demons are also being preserved.
There is also a magical ampoule from Mortenebre, known as the legendary magician.
These were invaluable resources that could not be omitted in chimera research, so they were not to be treated carelessly.
“Didn’t I come with you last time, Rotak?”
This wasn’t the first time Choi Hyun-seok had come here.
Not long after he arrived at the Magic Tower.
Rotak took Choi Hyeon-seok to various places to show him the magic tower, and this was one of them.
“Lord Rotak asked me to bring you a few of the magic ampoules he showed me back then. He said he wanted to check something.”
“What…?”
Radk’s eyes furrowed.
Bring me the magic ampoule.
It’s a plausible story, but there’s a problem.
“You made me do that?”
“yes.”
“Umm…”
You’re telling me to bring that precious ampoule to Choi Hyun-seok, an outsider and a human at that?
It’s a suspicious situation.
Radk, who had been staring at Choi Hyun-seok, let out a sigh.
“Tick tick! Wait a moment. I will check with Lord Rotak myself.” “There is no need for that.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You. Your combat power is only 10,000?”
“huh?”
In an instant, a thick arm wrapped around Radk’s neck.
Choi Hyun-seok was the one wrapping his arms around Radk’s neck.
“Tick, tick, tick…!”
I can’t breathe.
Radk’s face quickly turned red.
The Magic Tower is different from other Demon King’s Army units in that it is not a military unit and has no hierarchy.
Even though he is a senior researcher, his own power is insignificant.
With only 10,000 combat power, it was impossible to handle Choi Hyun-seok’s power.
“If you’re weak, you have to suffer?”
“Crack…! Crack…!”
Within a moment, Radk’s consciousness was cut off.
Choi Hyun-seok smiled faintly.
“You rascal. It would have been better if you had let me go like that.” “What kind of rat are you to block the warrior’s path!”
Rachel, who had appeared out of nowhere, punched the fallen Radk in the bridge of his nose.
“Is this it…”
So let’s put a few more researchers to sleep.
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel arrived at their destination, the place where the Magi Ampoules were displayed.
Even though the operation was on the verge of success, Choi Hyun-seok’s expression was somewhat uneasy.
“Rachel. Is this really okay?” “Of course it’s not okay!” “Please don’t say that with such a bright smile.” “Relax. You’re not going to die, are you?
“Yeah. Do you think I should die?”
Choi Hyun-seok raised his fist and broke the glass box containing the highly concentrated magic ampoule.
Wow!
The glass shatters and you grab the precious ampoules all at once.
“I survive somehow. This is for my survival.”
He chuckled.
His eyes were sparkling with madness for the first time in a long time.
“And to become stronger.”
Choi Hyun-seok opened the lid of the ampoule.
At the same time, terrible magic spread in all directions.
“I’m doing this to finally hit that annoying rat in the back of the head.”
Choi Hyun-seok drank the magic ampoule straight away.
***
Rotak has been feeling good lately.
There was also the added benefit of having fun collecting Choi Hyun-seok’s data.
The real reason is the anticipation of what will happen next.
‘Ancient monsters and mutant warriors… I can’t wait to see them apart. Squeak squeak!’
We must finish Choi Hyun-seok’s treatment as soon as possible and get the Demon’s Oath back from Hemis.
If you raid Hemis later with Park Hyun-ah, everything will be over.
The Demon King hasn’t given permission yet, but that doesn’t matter.
Rotak estimated that there was a greater than 90% chance that the Demon King would agree.
Anyway, the point is that Rotak felt very good.
Until five minutes ago.
“Clang, clang! What the heck is going on!!!”
Rotak’s scream reverberated through the magic tower.
“That, that’s what happened to us too…” “We felt a sudden wave of magic energy and came running, but it was already too late.”
The Chimera Research Building occupies the largest space in the basement of the Magic Tower.
Even within it, something unbelievable happened in an important place where the magic ampoules were stored.
“This is an ampoule that can never be obtained again…!”
All the precious materials were gone.
That too, into Choi Hyun-seok’s stomach.
Choi Hyun-seok was seen writhing on the floor among the unconscious researchers.
“Ke, keuk…! Keuk!”
His eyes rolled back, and his skin rose and fell repeatedly in a bumpy manner as he could not control his magic.
It looks as if countless bugs are crawling under the skin.
Around him rolled empty glass bottles, each containing an ampoule of very rare magic.
‘What on earth were you thinking doing this! Squeak squeak!’
Was he trying to commit suicide?
Even though they are the same magic, each individual has different characteristics.
The magicians here are all drawn from dangerous demons.
Moreover, because it was highly concentrated, the amount was also enormous.
It means that it is absolutely not a magic that Choi Hyun-seok can handle.
But I drank not just one, but five of them.
If left alone, your body will melt and you will die within minutes.
“Ugh! That’s absolutely not possible!”
Rotak will save Choi Hyun-seok no matter what happens.
Because it wasn’t just a matter of Choi Hyun-seok alone.
A magical concentrate that can never be obtained again.
Of the five ampoules that Choi Hyun-seok swallowed, three were already extinct and could never be found again, and among them was even one belonging to the legendary demon Mortenebre.
It is a material as precious as Choi Hyun-seok himself.
What if Choi Hyun-seok dies here?
All of this is disappearing.
“Live! No, I’ll make you live! Click!”
I will definitely save you.
I will somehow revive him and digest all of his magic.
So let’s get all the data.
In the eyes of the determined Rotak, madness toward the ultimate material flowed.
