Episode 91
Bobo’s back is broad.
It is so spacious that it would rival any other bed.
“It’s soft and nice~”
As I lay on my back and looked up at the barracks ceiling, various thoughts crossed my mind.
Choi Hyun-seok muttered while stroking Bobo’s fur.
“Bobo, what will happen to me now?”
“Wow!”
“What? Don’t be too heartbroken?”
“Wow!”
“That’s right. It’ll work out somehow. It always has.”
“Wow! Wow!”
“Thank you. After all, there is no one better than our Bobo.”
Rachel, who was watching from the side, made a pitiful expression.
“Sir, are you talking to a dog right now?”
“Not similar.”
“Do you understand what I’m saying?” “Our Bobo is so smart! Are you ignoring him right now?” “No. I’m ignoring you, warrior.”
“… Okay.”
I didn’t want to argue with Rachel right now.
Just thinking about the future that lies ahead is overwhelming.
‘If I keep getting further and further away from humanity like this and can’t even date, what will I do…?’
Choi Hyun-seok was still unable to adapt to the rapid physical changes that had occurred.
It’s not a matter of becoming stronger or showing abilities that transcend human capabilities.
The appearance itself changes.
Every time I used the magic, it turned me into some kind of biological weapon, which made me really upset.
‘If I try hard, I can control this, right?’
Hemis said.
If you work hard, there will come a moment when you can freely handle the changes you are going through now.
Choi Hyun-seok slowly read the documents in his hand.
“Information on the Demon Beast Mortenebre. It is approximately 100m in size. It frequently moves its residence regardless of whether it is in the sky, on the ground, or in the sea. It was called the strongest demon beast until it was killed by a group of dragons…”
The documents contained information about the demons.
To be exact, it was about the original owner of the five magic ampoules that Choi Hyun-seok had consumed.
“I don’t know to what extent the demons’ characteristics will be expressed, but it would be good to keep it in mind.”
Choi Hyun-seok read the material that Hemis had casually handed him over over and over again.
“Three extinct demons. Two endangered species…”
They were all powerful demons.
If you can just assimilate their abilities as your own, you will definitely become much stronger than you are now.
‘You shouldn’t think only of it as a bad thing. Rather, it may be something to welcome.’
In the first place, swallowing the magic energy of a demonic beast does not mean that you can obtain that demonic beast’s characteristics.
If that were possible, the Demon King’s army would have taken over this world long ago.
What is happening now is an exceptional thing that only happened to Choi Hyun-seok.
In this situation, he swallowed the magical energy of the so-called strongest demons.
A precious magic that can no longer be obtained.
If Choi Hyun-seok can fully digest this, he will gain power that no one in the world has.
‘Even so, we must not neglect developing our original abilities.’
However, there is something to keep in mind.
The newly acquired abilities are purely a plus.
Fundamentally, the martial arts and fighting skills he has developed should never be neglected.
You can never become the best if you only pursue external strength without substance.
He knew it well because most of the people Choi Hyun-seok had defeated so far were of that type.
‘The situation itself is good. Your abilities have increased a lot, and there’s room to become even stronger.’
Choi Hyun-seok opened the status window and checked his abilities.
▫Level: 592
·Strength: 211
· Agility: 207
· Stamina: 216
· Horsepower: 225
·Magi: 256
·Charisma: 84
·Fighting spirit: 32
The level didn’t go up at all.
However, the abilities have increased significantly.
In particular, Magi was overwhelming, as it had increased from 140 to 256.
It has increased by over 100.
“At this rate, I won’t be able to get away with it anywhere.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled happily.
He suddenly wondered how strong he had become.
“Rachel. Can you check my fighting skills?” “Right now? I’m busy…” “What on earth are you busy doing, rolling around on the floor?”

Rachel was literally rolling around on the floor.
“Don’t you know I’ll be a battalion commander soon? Huh? You have to be loyal!” “Dungseong! I’ll check your combat power right now.”
Rachel jumped to her feet and took a saluting stance.
As Choi Hyun-seok said, he will soon become a battalion commander.
He said that as soon as this Black Giant reconstruction is over, he will take charge of a battalion and become its official commander.
“Let’s see, our battalion commander’s fighting power…”
Rachel put her head on the goggles and looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
Tiring ringing ringing ringing…!
Rapidly increasing combat power.
Soon, you will hear a beep to indicate that the measurement is complete.
“Oh! Commander! I’ve just finished measuring.” “Good. What’s my combat power?” “A whopping seventy-six thousand!” “What!? That high!?”
Rachel checked the numbers on her goggles again.
[Battle Power: 76631]
“Yes, Commander!”
The figure was much higher than expected.
To this extent, it was the highest level of combat power even among battalion commanders.
“If this continues, won’t the regimental commander soon be appointed?” “I already want to tell him not to drink kimchi stew… but there really isn’t much time left.”
From what we’ve seen so far, the average combat power of a regimental commander is around 100,000.
Although there was still a considerable difference in numbers, considering the growth rate, it didn’t seem like it would take that long.
“What if I really become a division commander or a corps commander?” “Hey~ We should get out of here before that happens! Hero. Have you forgotten our purpose!? We’re heroes who defeat the Demon King and save the world!” “That’s your purpose.”
“Tch.”
“Anyway, in a peaceful world, you have to achieve love and marriage, so the process itself is similar.”
I still don’t have enough strength.
Now, Choi Hyun-seok has the most powerful country on the continent as his enemy.
‘Someday… when I become strong enough that no one can stop me, then I will leave.’
A dream I’ve been vaguely thinking about until now.
The fog blocking the view seemed to be slowly clearing away.

That night.
A group of rat babies appeared in the forest not far from the black giant.
“Tick tock! Hurry up!”
The rats spread out the materials they had prepared in advance and began drawing a magic circle on the floor.
As if they had a lot of experience with this, their connection was natural and there was no waste in their movements.
“It’s done! Click!”
Soon after, a huge device was created.
That’s the space travel gate.
Soon after, rats began pouring out of the completed gate.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
“Set the fire! The Black Giant belongs to our Scavin Clan!” “War! War! Crack!” “Idiots! Set up your magic batteries now!”
It wasn’t just rats pouring out.
“You monsters! Move now!”
“Kwawaaaaa-!”
“Keeeek!”
chimera.
Chimeras with all sorts of magical powers connected in a haphazard manner were pouring out.
The Scavin clan and the Chimera army led by Rotak.
Even in the 2nd Army Corps, those who could be considered direct subordinate units of Rotak were moved.
Among them, there was a rat that was particularly large and white, making it stand out.
The 2nd Corps Commander is Rotak.
Next to him was the 4th Corps Commander Park Hyeon-a.
She originally had a cold aura, but now she was frowning as if she didn’t like something.
“This is really disgusting.”
There are about two thousand giant rats.
There are over a thousand grotesque chimeras.
When they were all gathered together, I felt a sense of disgust doubled.
Park Hyun-ah looked back at Rotak.
“Hey, you little rat.”
A frown appeared on Rotak’s forehead when he heard the derogatory word rat.
He desperately suppressed his anger.
‘I have to endure it now. That’s the kind of girl she used to be…’
It’s not like it’s been a day or two since Park Hyun-ah’s mouth has been rough.
Besides, we are now on the verge of carrying out the uprising.
This is not the time to be obsessed with personal matters.
“What’s going on?”
“Is this all you need? It’s just a matter of hitting a black giant.” “Don’t worry, there’s plenty more.”
There are currently about 5,000 combatants in the Black Giant.
Among them, two are regimental commanders.
Division commander level is one raid run.
Finally, there is Hemis, the commander of the legion.
“It’s f*cking overflowing. We’re already outnumbered. And these rats here are no different from goblins. Can you even fight them?”
The Scavin clan led by Rotak.
Those with the appearance of a rat actually have poor fighting ability.
The general opinion is that it is only slightly better than Goblin.
No matter how many chimeras there were, they were clearly inferior in both quantity and quality.
Honestly, I doubt if they’ll be a match.
“You stupid bitch. Our clan’s elite have gathered here. Even if the opponent is ten thousand strong, we will never back down.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Rotak was confident.
The strength of himself and his Scavin clan is not revealed through outward appearance.
Once the battle actually starts, Park Hyun-ah’s useless worries will disappear.
“Park Hyun-ah. You don’t have to worry about anything else and just focus on your job. Catching Hemis. Are you confident?” “I’ll take care of it, you punk.” “Okay… That’s fine.”
Rotak walked away irritably.
‘Human woman… On the day I become the strongest king, I will split your head to confirm it.’
I thought it would be fun to cut off that insolent human’s head and glue it onto Hemis’s body.
So that the two who are enemies can be together forever.
‘Hehe! You both will be treated fairly at my feet, so it won’t be unfair!’
A strange smile appeared on Lotak’s lips as he imagined the future that would unfold.
***
Raidrun’s personal Federation Chief.
Today, Choi Hyun-seok and Raidrun continued their sparring that was reminiscent of a real fight.
“Ugh!”
Choi Hyun-seok turned his body urgently.
At the same time, a red fist passed through his head.
A sharp piercing sound struck my ears.
If he had not avoided it, it would have definitely been a serious injury.
Choi Hyun-seok immediately went into a counterattack.
‘Nobilis…’
Magic and magical power are seething.
Choi Hyun-seok naturally dug into Raidrun’s arms using his twisted body’s center of gravity.
Nobilis
Type 3 – The Price of Arrogance
A series of attacks that follow immediately.
Six consecutive punches landed in Raidrun’s abdomen.
Pavabavabat!
A purple flash of light bursts out whenever the fist makes contact.
Choi Hyun-seok clenched his teeth and put all his strength into the sixth and final attack.
‘Did it break through?’
In that moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s attack broke through Raidrun’s guard and reached his abdomen.
‘It went in properly…!’
It was the first time.
His attack reached Raidrun.
At that moment, joy appeared on Choi Hyun-seok’s face.
“uh?”
A fist fills the field of vision.
Kwajik!
A fist slammed into his temple, and Choi Hyun-seok was sent flying dozens of meters away.
Raidran lightly shook his hands as he watched Choi Hyun-seok writhing on the floor.
“Let’s stop here for today.” “Go, thank you…”
Choi Hyun-seok answered in a dying voice, still conscious.
Raidrun snickered.
‘It’s a growth rate that is once again frightening.’
Originally, Choi Hyun-seok was not visible to Raidrun.
Because the gap was so huge, there was no need to even look.
But now, Raidrun had to be quite careful when dealing with Choi Hyun-seok.
He was still training with his bare body without even using his fighting skills, but there might soon come a time when he would have to use his fighting skills.
‘Choi Hyun-seok is no longer weak. And yet, he is growing at this rate… I can’t believe it.’
Choi Hyun-seok’s growth rate is unparalleled.
Unprecedentedly rapid growth.
But nothing is eternal.
After the beginner section.
At some point, a plateau is bound to come.
However, Choi Hyun-seok ignored such general rules and continued to grow at a rapid pace.
“Let’s keep going like this.”
“yes.”
“And the ability to change bodies is still very clumsy. Rather, the changes are hindering me in battle.”
Raidrun pointed out Choi Hyun-seok’s recent acquisition of physical transformation abilities.
“Remember, powers that cannot be controlled will only hinder you.” “I will keep that in mind…”
To be honest, Choi Hyun-seok also felt wronged by the change, but he didn’t say anything.
Because Raidrun was right.
Whether it’s thorns sprouting from your body or your skin turning to steel, if you can’t control it, it’s useless.
In a battle where one’s life is at stake, one cannot fight relying only on luck.
“Whew, thank you for today.” “Okay. Are you planning on going back now?” “Yes. I plan on continuing my training at the barracks.” “You can use this place if you want.” “Is that okay…?” “Of course! Choi Hyun-seok, you can use it as much as you want!”
This place is literally a private training ground just for Raidrun.
Since Raidrun is usually busy with work and doesn’t show up often, in reality, Choi Hyun-seok ends up using it alone.
“thank you!”
Choi Hyun-seok didn’t necessarily decline.
To be honest, the training that could be done in the cramped barracks was limited.
However, it was also difficult to borrow the parade grounds of other units.
‘I was planning to do it at the battalion parade grounds when I officially become a battalion commander, but until then, I’ll have to do it here.’
The moment when Choi Hyun-seok smiled while thinking about the training that would continue in the future.
Suddenly, Raidran’s expression hardened.
Raidrun looking somewhere with a serious expression.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been watching the scene with a puzzled look, also hardened his expression.
“What is this…?”
It was a wave of magic.
A huge amount of magic energy was flying in from afar.
Naturally, Raidrun turned his head in the direction he was looking.
Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth drops open.
“Lord Raidrun. What is that…?”
“I don’t know either…”
A huge bundle of magic was pouring down from the sky.
Soon it covers the black giant.
Kwakwakwakwakwang-!
The world has fallen apart.
