Episode 94
Same time.
Rotak and Hemis were facing each other.
From the ground below, the noise of fierce battle could be heard.
The two of them didn’t even look at each other as if it was none of their business.
They just stare at each other silently.
After all, the outcome of the battle will be decided here.
“Tick tick! Are you ready?”
“Ready?”
“I’m ready to be torn apart. I’m going to tear you to pieces and use you as material for a new chimera.” “Oh ho ho! Our Rotak’s mouth has gotten a bit rough, hasn’t it?” “Shut up! Today is the last day I’ll see those nasty lips.”
The corners of Rotak’s mouth slightly rise.
He shouted at Park Hyun-ah, who was standing next to him.
“Park Hyun-ah! Move. Let’s deal with that monster-like woman together.”
As far as Rotak is concerned, the outcome is already decided.
It is a joint attack by two legion commanders.
No matter how strong Hemis is, he won’t be able to defeat two legion commanders.
But Park Hyun-ah’s reaction was a little strange.
She covered her mouth with her hand and opened her eyes wide as if surprised by something.
“Sorry! I’m suddenly hungry.”
“huh?”
“I’m the type of person who can’t exert myself when I’m hungry.” “What nonsense are you talking about?” “Go do your own thing. I’m going to go home and boil some ramen and eat it.”
Park Hyun-ah waved her hand and left.
Rotak blinked as if he didn’t understand what was happening.
For a while, I stare blankly at Park Hyun-ah’s back as she walks away.
“Oh my? What should I do? The reinforcements have left?”
There is a hint of laughter in Hemis’ voice.
Only then did Rotak realize the situation.
“These years, surely…”
“Do you understand the situation now?” “You dare betray me?” “You’re the one who betrayed me. Hohohoho!”
Something snapped in Rotak’s head along with Hemis’s laughter.
“Kyaaah! Park Hyun-ah! Don’t think this is the end! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! All of you! I’ll tear you to pieces and turn you into carpets!!!”
Rotak’s roar rang out loud.
The shout containing the magic of a legion commander pierced through the noise of the battlefield and was clearly heard by everyone.
An incredible magical energy that makes your body tremble just by hearing it.
However, the response of Park Hyun-ah, the person who caused the problem, was cold.
She raised her hand without looking back.
“Yeah~ F*ck it~”
Middle finger going up.
That was the end of it.
Park Hyun-ah disappeared.
Only Rotak and Hemis were left here.
“Rotak. Are you ready?”
Hemis chuckled.
Rotak ground his teeth.
“You’re so relaxed. Pfft!” “Wouldn’t it be weirder if you were nervous when it was you? Hohoho!”
Hemis covers her lips and laughs high-toned.
From her point of view, it was natural.
Lotak was originally considered the weakest of the legion commanders.
In contrast, Hemis is the strongest among the legion commanders.
Its power was evaluated as being comparable to that of the Demon King.
If you’re nervous, that would be even weirder.
“That’s what I said. Don’t think that things will be the same as they were a hundred years ago.” “Oh my. Is our Rotak still in his growth phase? His beard is gray and he doesn’t even have the strength to walk.”
As Hemis said.
Rotak was already suffering from the decline of old age.
Typically, the growth period for high-ranking demons is between one hundred and one hundred and fifty years.
After that period, the growth of the body and magic stops.
From then on, I focused on polishing my technical skills.
The technology has matured like that.
After about three hundred years, aging begins.
From this point on, the demons do not become stronger.
All that remains is a downhill slope.
There are some like Hemis who have not declined even after a thousand years, but they are the exception among the exceptions.
This was not the case for Rotak.
“Yes. I am old. Unlike you monsters, I cannot avoid aging.”
Rotak is currently about 400 years old.
The age of 300, which is considered the peak for the Demon Race, has long passed.
In human terms, it would be considered old age, equivalent to being over 70 years old.
Even at the age of 300, when he was at his prime, Rotak was still inferior to Hemis.

Now that he is old and in his twilight years, there is no chance that he can win against Hemis.
“I’m telling you in advance, don’t give up. Even if you surrender, I won’t spare you, so fight as hard as you can.”
Hemis was relaxed.
She seemed to take her victory for granted.
“Kekekeke… How relaxed. Of course. Tsk! How can an old demon defeat an ancient monster?”
Rotak lowered his head and trembled.
A strong magical energy flows out from his body.
No matter how much of a period of decline one is in, the power that brought one to the rank of corps commander does not disappear in an instant.
It is a power that can consume the heroism of a human being in an instant.
But this is not enough.
Rotak was well aware of that fact.
“I will show you the path I have walked for the past hundred years.”
Rotak’s body begins to split apart.
Wheeeeeeing…!
Complex mechanical devices work inside his body.
A device that moves using magic power.
It was the essence itself that Lotak, who possessed the most advanced magical engineering technology on the continent, had painstakingly created.
Clank, clank, clank!
All sorts of combat equipment extended out of Rotak’s body.
Hemis’ smile deepens as she looks at the sight.
“Wow~ This looks fun?” “I don’t know if I’ll still have fun after getting hit with this.”
The largest of the weapons extending from Rotak’s body.
The magic exploded in a place that looked like a battleship’s cannon.
***
12th Division Commander Gale Dao.
He was the division commander who most ardently supported Rotak in the 2nd Army Corps.
It was all thanks to Rotak’s power that he saved his clan from persecution by the Demon King’s army, and that he was able to rise to the position of division commander.
His devotion to Rotak was almost a kind of faith.
That’s why when this incident happened, he followed Rotak without a single doubt.
Rather, he even welcomed Rotak’s operation.
“The Red Nightmare Raidrun… is one I’ve always wanted to destroy.”
Raidran’s name was well known not only among humans but also within the Demon King’s army.
It’s only natural, since he was Hemis’ only confidant.
‘It’s ridiculous that a young boy who couldn’t even reach the rank of division commander has the nickname ‘Red Nightmare’.’
A nickname is something like a nickname or a nickname.
Either establish a brilliant record or join forces with a strong player that everyone knows.
The 12th Division Commander, who is not even a member of the team, has a reputation for being nothing more than a middle manager, Raidrun.
Gale Dao did not like this point.
That’s why when Rotak made his proposal, Gale Dao vowed to completely destroy Raidrun.
“Thank you for coming to see me in person.”
The target of this operation, Raidrun, stood before his eyes.
It came to me before I even went out to find it.
“Kuuuu! The Red Nightmare. I, Gale Dao, will show you what a true nightmare is….”
Gale Dao couldn’t finish his words.
Before I knew it, Raidrun had come closer and was swinging his fist.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
“Okay, wait a minute!”
A relentless onslaught of attacks.
You can’t even tell where something is flying from.
The Red Nightmare simply waved its hands and feet absentmindedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“First of all, let me say this…”
Gale Dao’s body began to turn into blood clots.
Even if you try to counterattack, you can’t.
My head was shaken by the attack and I couldn’t use my magic at all.
Crunch! Crunch!
“Turn it off, turn it off…”
Before I had time to have a cup of tea, Gale Dao was so damaged that it was unrecognizable from its original form.
Raidrun lifted Gale Dao’s head with one hand.
“How pathetic.”
“S, save me…”
“Those who dare to rebel against Lord Hemis. Are you prepared?”
Raidrun slowly began to pull Gale Dao’s head.
Hold the body with one hand and pull the head with the other.
Thud…!
A strange noise came from my spine.
Gale Dao’s eyes began to fill with fear.
“Hey, stop…!”
“Is there such a thing as an idiot who stops when told to stop?” Find out!
Gale Dao’s head was torn off while he was still alive.
Blood and flesh are scattered everywhere.
A long spine hung from below the protruding head.
Raidran looked at the sight expressionlessly and then threw his head to the side.
It was the finish of the Raid Rundown, known as the Red Nightmare on the battlefield.
‘What a pathetic guy.’
Even though he possessed the magical power of a division commander, his skills were poor.
I couldn’t even use half of my strength.
‘Lack of practical experience and probably over-important abilities.’
Raidrun’s life was stained with blood.
I fought and fought countless times on the battlefield, breaking my limits.
But Gale Dao is different.
With the help of Rotak, he developed his abilities and rose to the rank of division commander, and after that, he faced no threats.
They lived a comfortable and relaxing life with their families.
No matter how great a force is, it is of no threat if the one using it is a child.
‘He is not fit for the Demon King’s Army.’
How dare you rebel against Hemis.
And yet, they didn’t even have the minimum qualifications.
The price for arrogance and stupidity is death.
“What? It’s over already?”
A familiar voice was heard.
I looked back and saw Park Hyun-ah approaching.
“I tried to help you when it was necessary, but why did it end so quickly? Even though you were a division commander.” “He was nothing special.” “Well, you’re a special kind of person.”
Park Hyun-ah shrugged.
At that moment, magic began to explode from the sky along with light.
Finally, the battle between Hemis and Rotak began.
“Umm…”
Raidrun fell asleep.
Rotak’s power was stronger than expected.
I didn’t think Hemis would lose, but I can’t help but feel anxious.
In fact, the battle situation seemed to show that Hemis was being pushed back a little.
Raidrun looked back at Park Hyun-ah.
“Aren’t you going to help me?” “I tried to do that too, but you told me not to stick my nose out.”
“Is that so…”
“Don’t even think about meddling and just watch. Even if you do, you’ll end up dead anyway.”
Raidrun had a displeased expression, but he had no choice but to nod.
Park Hyun-ah’s words were correct.
Even if a grown Raidrun gains the power of a division commander, he is still weak in front of a legion commander.
One of only five commanders in the Demon King’s Army.
If we compare them to humans, they are not just heroes, they are legends.
Their power surpasses that of an army of ten thousand men.
A walking strategic weapon.
Depending on the situation, it is possible to bring down an entire country single-handedly.
In order to capture a legion commander, there is no other way than for a legion commander of the same level to come, or for them to be lured into a trap after thorough preparation.
‘Even so, I didn’t know that the rat and the snout would end up fighting…’
Park Hyun-ah’s eyebrows furrow.
For her, the current situation was incomprehensible.
Even among legion commanders, there is a clear hierarchy.
Rotak, the weakest of the legion commanders.
Hemis, the strongest of the legion commanders.
It seemed like a fight between the two would never come to fruition, but my expectations were wrong.
‘That real rat bastard really prepared well.’
Rotak’s power was unexpectedly too strong.
At that point, it seemed like even Park Hyun-ah herself would have a hard time guaranteeing victory.
The 1st Corps Commander Doritugs is considered the second strongest after Hemis.
It’s a level of strength that rivals that of a bastard.
‘In a way, it’s natural. I don’t think anyone would have thought of striking someone without this much preparation.’
Rotak had been watching Hemis for a long time.
He would have known more about Hemis’s power than she did.
However, the reason he decided to hit Hemis was probably because he had confidence in himself.
‘Even so, it’s still useless.’
Park Hyun-ah smiled faintly.
One way or another, it was a foregone conclusion that Rotak would be defeated.
After fighting Hemis again recently, she knew for sure.
Hemis is on a whole other level of strength.
No matter what Rotak prepares, he cannot defeat Hemis.
The current situation makes it seem like Hemis is being pushed back, but that’s wrong.
‘She’s just having fun.’
When Rotak suggested to Park Hyun-ah that they hit Hemis.
Park Hyun-ah, in turn, leaked information to Hemis and suggested that they deal with Rotak together.
But Hemis objected.
“There’s nothing left to eat alone, so why are you sharing it? If you do that, you won’t even get a message.”
“Crazy bitch…”
Hemis needed entertainment.
The incident caused by Rotak made her feel quite cheerful.
‘After all, it’s just a toy.’
Whatever preparations Rotak made.
It doesn’t matter what kind of outrageous attack you make.
It’s just a passing pleasure for the monster with those huge lips.
