A thunderous sound echoed as Taylor was thrust into the ground.
It was a perfect, clean throw.
The counterforce was so strong that Choi Hyun-seok’s body floated in the air.
“Now’s the time!”
Roiger, who had been waiting for an opportunity, joined in.
They couldn’t stop just because one attack was successful.
They needed to press the advantage relentlessly to secure victory.
‘If we do this right, we might be able to end it here.’
Taylor kept retreating, desperately trying to defend.
Perhaps they could put an end to this right now.
Just as they thought that.
Suddenly Taylor struck back.
‘Dangerous…!’
Choi Hyun-seok and Roiger retreated simultaneously as if on cue.
A sharp blade of energy swept through where they had been standing.
If they had remained there, they would have lost at least one limb.
‘This guy’s a real monster.’
Choi Hyun-seok glared at Taylor with shocked eyes.
Choi Hyun-seok and Roiger.
Even though two people were attacking while using Plomot, Taylor was holding on.
At first glance, it might seem like he was being pushed back helplessly, but that wasn’t the case at all.
He was like a predator, crouching and waiting for an opportunity.
‘s mouth.
Choi Hyun-seok pressed his advantage.
Crack! Thud! Boom!
The hero was helplessly overwhelmed.
They tried to counterattack while taking hits, but those counterattacks were too predictable.
Choi Hyun-seok easily avoided them while pressing forward and.
Finally delivered the finishing blow.
Crash!
The hero’s head smashed into a rock.
They trembled briefly before going still.
[Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!]
Level up notifications rang repeatedly in his head.
“Huh…?”
Choi Hyun-seok was surprised.
Could he level up from killing the same type of hero?
And it wasn’t just a small increase – he gained eight whole levels.
The previous situation flashed through his mind.
‘Come to think of it, I leveled up like crazy earlier too.’
When he stole the finishing blow from Phloclade, the level up notifications had gone crazy as well.
It was so urgent that I couldn’t check properly, but I think I went up more than level 20.
▫Name: Choi Hyun-seok
▫Title: Hero Candidate
▫Level: 502
Demonic Energy: 135
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened as he checked his status window.
‘If I have 34 bonus points, does that mean I went up 34 levels?’
The Phloclade from earlier.
And the hero just now.
He gained 34 levels just from hunting those two.
Choi Hyun-seok looked up at the remaining heroes.
’20 remain. Even if I gain just 4 levels per person, that’s 80 levels.’
If he gains 80 levels now, Choi Hyun-seok would instantly approach level 600.
Adding the 34 levels he just gained, the stats he would gain in an instant would exceed 100.
Choi Hyun-seok’s mind began to race.
‘If I take care of all of them and raise my stats, I could beat Taylor. The question is whether my body can handle it…’
The problem was time.
Could his body endure until he deals with 20 heroes and then kills Taylor afterward?
Choi Hyun-seok grinned.
‘I have no choice.’
As they say, it’s all or nothing.
It’s a matter of life or death anyway.
If I don’t do it, I die.
If I fail, I die.
So I must succeed.
“Commander! Please hold on for a moment!”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted toward Roiger.
Then he immediately rushed toward the heroes.
From now on, it was a race against time.
***
Swords interlock with swords.
Attacks and defenses exchange so quickly they’re hard to follow with the naked eye.
At first glance it might look fierce, but the reality was different.
‘Damn… Am I being pushed back even while using Plomot?’
Against Taylor, Roiger was only repeating retreats.
Without Choi Hyun-seok fighting alongside him, this was all he could do to hold on.
Additionally, other heroes would attack whenever they found an opening.
Though their attacks were simple and not threatening, their power was strong.
If he were to be caught by even one blind attack, this precarious balance would instantly collapse.
Therefore, Roiger couldn’t let his guard down for even a moment.
‘Choi Hyun-seok. Just what are you thinking…!’
Roiger glanced in Choi Hyun-seok’s direction.
Choi Hyun-seok was engaged in close combat against the heroes.
He could guess why he was acting like that.
He probably planned to deal with all the other interfering heroes before fighting Taylor.
But was that really the right method?
Roiger couldn’t help but question it.
Time was on the opponent’s side.
The longer the battle went on, the more dangerous it became for Choi Hyun-seok and Roiger who were using Plomot.
In this situation, was it right to deal with the small fry while leaving the most threatening Taylor alone?
‘I believe you have a plan for doing this.’
Though he had many questions, right now he had no choice but to follow Choi Hyun-seok’s lead.
Swish!
Avoiding the incoming sword energy, Roiger retreated again.
“You’re like a rat. Didn’t you demons consider running away shameful?”
Taylor’s tone was full of mockery.
He was pointing out how Roiger kept running away and buying time.
Any other demon would have gotten angry, but Roiger was different.
From the start, his specialties were stealth and mobility.
Being from a noble family and intelligent, Roiger disliked being treated the same as other demons.
“I’d prefer if you called it strategy rather than running away.”
“Hah, you’re really annoying.”
Taylor roughly ran his hand through his hair.
Though he appeared relaxed, he too was just as anxious.
Now there were barely ten heroes remaining.
Considering there were over 50 heroes when they arrived here, it was an enormous loss.
“The Pope will probably throw another fit about repentance and atonement.”
“What?”
“It’s nothing.”
Taylor lowered his stance and glared with a chilling gaze.
“Let me tell you in advance, you two. Don’t expect to die peacefully.”
“Oh, I’m so scared I might wet myself.”
Another fierce exchange began.
In the blink of an eye, sword strikes flew at each other multiple times.
As time passed, Roiger’s body was drenched in sweat and became heavy like water-logged cotton.
In contrast, Taylor still maintained a tempo similar to when they started.
Though his breathing had become rough too, it was still good compared to Roiger.
“Kugh…!”
Gradually, the wounds on Roiger’s body increased.
It was natural to become disadvantaged in a long battle when using Plomot, which forcefully drew upon one’s stamina.
Roiger urgently looked in Choi Hyun-seok’s direction.
‘Choi Hyun-seok. Just how long do I have to wait…’
Suddenly, Roiger’s eyes widened.
Crack!
Choi Hyun-seok was crushing a hero’s head with his fist.
That was the end.
There were no more enemies remaining there.
They were all dead.
‘Just when…?’
It wasn’t that long of a time.
In the time he had been exchanging attacks with Taylor, Choi Hyun-seok had dealt with over 20 heroes.
Considering all the heroes were at least battalion commander level, it was an impossible speed.
Even some of them were at regiment commander level.
Even with Plomot, they weren’t enemies that could be easily handled with Choi Hyun-seok’s abilities.
“Phew…”
Left alone, Choi Hyun-seok caught his breath.
Due to the aftermath of Plomot Stage 2, his body was blood-red and thick steam rose from it.
Moreover, large horns had grown on his head.
Despite being human, Choi Hyun-seok had an appearance more demonic than anyone.
He made eye contact with Roiger and nodded.
“Let’s finish this right now.”
Finally, preparations to hunt the last boss were complete.
***
Before this battle began, Choi Hyun-seok’s level was 466.
And now, after dealing with Phloclade and all the soulless puppet-like heroes, his level was 578.
Having gained a whopping 112 levels, Choi Hyun-seok showed movements of a completely different dimension from before.
Woong!
The moment people thought Choi Hyun-seok had kicked the ground, he had already reached Taylor’s front.
“You…!”
Taylor hurriedly swung his sword but only cut through air.
Choi Hyun-seok avoided the sword with perfect timing and drove in his fist.
“Kuhek!”
Until just earlier, Taylor had been faster than Choi Hyun-seok even when he was using Plomot.
But now that Choi Hyun-seok’s level had risen.
Their speeds had reached almost the same level.
“You know what.”
“Kugh…!”
Taylor couldn’t answer.
He could only glare at Choi Hyun-seok while desperately blocking attacks.
Choi Hyun-seok continued speaking unconcerned.
“I’ve only killed those stronger than me.”
It had always been like this until now.
Choi Hyun-seok had fought against overwhelmingly strong enemies.
And he had won.
In other words, it means this,
Given similar physical specs as a premise, Choi Hyun-seok had never once been defeated.
Crack, Bang! Swoosh!
Fists and feet flew like mad.
Taylor fought back without retreating, without giving an inch.
Roiger watched their battle in a daze.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
‘When did he grow this much…’
Although his physical abilities had dramatically increased due to Plomot, Choi Hyun-seok had been just an ordinary human until recently.
Moreover, they say he was a slave before coming to the Black Giant Star.
That same Choi Hyun-seok was now fighting evenly with an enemy approaching battalion commander level.
It was an unbelievable reality even though he was seeing it with his own eyes.
‘Ah, this isn’t the time!’
Realizing his mistake, Roiger immediately joined the battle.
This wasn’t the time to be leisurely like this.
“Push him! We’re almost done!”
With Roiger’s joining, the tide completely reversed.
Wounds gradually increased on Taylor’s body.
Blood started flowing from various places.
“Huh, huh…!”
Taylor glared at the two while panting.
‘These bastards. Why isn’t their Plomot wearing off!?’
Both Roiger and Choi Hyun-seok looked exhausted.
The problem was that Taylor’s own stamina was at its limit too.
The only hope was for their Plomot to wear off.
For that, he needed to buy time.
“You… What are you? Human or demon?”
Nothing was better than conversation for buying time.
However, Choi Hyun-seok wasn’t so easy.
Instead of the expected answer, what came back was a fist.
“Shut up, I’m busy!”
Crack!
Taylor staggered as a fist was driven into his face.
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed his arm.
He too was sensing that his body was approaching its limit.
While forcefully holding onto his fading consciousness, he prepared for the final moment.
“Don’t think about running away.”
He twisted Taylor’s arm.
Simultaneously, Roiger’s sword pierced Taylor’s chest.
Taylor’s pupils dilated.
“Kuherk! I, I can’t go like this…”
“Just go already.”
He tripped Taylor’s legs to make him fall.
At the same time, he kicked the falling man’s head with all his might.
Bang!
Even with the full-power soccer kick, Taylor didn’t die.
Choi Hyun-seok repeatedly kicked Taylor’s head several times.
Bang! Bang! Crash!
Finally, Taylor’s eyes went blank and the magical power protecting his body dispersed.
“I’ll put your experience points to good use.”
He raised his fist one last time and brought it down on the man’s head.
Crack!
Taylor, his head half crushed, collapsed limply.
Choi Hyun-seok also collapsed to the ground as if crumbling.
“Haa… Tough bastard…”
He wasn’t sure if his opponent had been human or monster.
Honestly, even now he doubted if he was really dead.
That’s how tenacious an enemy he was.
[Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] ….
The notifications announced Choi Hyun-seok’s victory.
Taylor was completely dead.
Soon after, a notification about quest completion was heard.
[You have completed the Hero Quest]
[You gain 1,000 Hero Points]
[You have perfectly achieved the additional goal of dealing with the hero group]
[As a reward, the hidden stat ‘Fighting Spirit’ will be unlocked]
Countless notifications rang out.
Savoring them, Choi Hyun-seok collapsed onto the ground.
