Bobo’s back is wide.
How wide? Wide enough to rival a decent-sized bed.
“So soft and comfortable~”
Various thoughts crossed his mind as he lay on his back, looking up at the tent ceiling.
While stroking Bobo’s fur, Choi Hyun-seok mumbled.
“Bobo, what’s going to happen to me now?”
“Kwang!”
“What? Don’t be too discouraged?”
“Kwang!”
“Right. Things will work out somehow. They always have, haven’t they?”
“Kwang! Kwang!”
“Thanks. You’re really the only one for me, Bobo.”
Rachel, watching from the side, made an expression of exasperation.
“Hero, are you having a conversation with a dog right now?”
“Something like that.”
“Do you actually understand what it’s saying?”
“How dare you! Don’t you know how smart our Bobo is! Are you looking down on Bobo?”
“No, I was looking down on you, Hero.”
“… Never mind.”
He didn’t want to argue with Rachel right now.
Just thinking about the future ahead was overwhelming enough.
‘What if I keep getting further away from being human and can’t even date…’
Choi Hyun-seok hadn’t yet adapted to the rapid physical changes.
This wasn’t like the usual increases in strength or gaining superhuman abilities.
His appearance itself was changing.
It was unsettling how he transformed like some kind of bio-weapon whenever he used demonic energy.
‘I’ll probably be able to control this with practice too, right?’
Hemis had said so.
That with effort, a time would come when he could freely control these changes.
Choi Hyun-seok slowly read the documents in his hand.
“Magic Beast Mortenebra Information. Size approximately 100m. Frequently changes habitat between sky, land, and sea. Called the strongest magical beast until its death by the dragon horde…”
The documents contained information about magical beasts.
More specifically, about the original owners of the five demonic energy ampules that Choi Hyun-seok had consumed.
‘Though we don’t know how much of the beasts’ characteristics will manifest, it would be good to keep this information in mind.’
Choi Hyun-seok was reading these documents, which Hemis had casually handed over, again and again.
“Three extinct magical beasts. Two endangered species…”
They were all powerful magical beasts without exception.
If he could digest their abilities and make them his own, he would surely become much stronger than now.
‘I shouldn’t just think negatively. Maybe this is something to welcome.’
To begin with, consuming a magical beast’s demonic energy doesn’t necessarily mean gaining that beast’s characteristics.
If such a thing were possible, the Demon King’s Army would have conquered this world long ago.
What’s happening now is something exceptional, unique to Choi Hyun-seok.
In this situation, he had consumed the demonic energy of beasts that were called the strongest.
Precious demonic energy that can no longer be obtained.
If he could fully digest this, Choi Hyun-seok would gain power that no one else in the world possessed.
‘Even so, I shouldn’t neglect developing my original abilities.’
However, there was something to keep in mind.
These newly gained abilities were just a plus alpha concept.
Fundamentally, he must never neglect the body techniques and fighting skills he had been developing.
Without substance, pursuing only external strength would never make one the best.
He knew this well, as most of those he had defeated until now were that type.
‘The situation itself is good. My stats have increased a lot, and there’s room to get even stronger.’
Choi Hyun-seok opened his status window to check his abilities.
▫Level: 592
His level hadn’t increased at all.
However, his stats had increased significantly.
Demonic Energy in particular was overwhelming, having risen from just 140 to 256.
An increase of over 100 points.
“With this much, I won’t be outmatched in terms of demonic energy anywhere.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled contentedly.
He suddenly wondered how much stronger he had become.
“Rachel, can you check my combat power?”
“Now? I’m busy…”
“What could possibly be keeping you busy while you’re rolling around on the floor?”
Rachel was literally rolling around on the floor.
“Don’t you know I’m about to become a battalion commander? Huh? You should show some loyalty!”
“Yes, sir! I’ll check your combat power right away!”
Rachel suddenly stood up and took a salute position.
As Choi Hyun-seok said, he would soon become a battalion commander.
He said he would officially become a battalion commander, taking charge of one battalion as soon as this Black Giant Star training was over.
“Let’s see, our battalion commander’s combat power…”
Rachel brought her goggles to her head and looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
Diiiiiring…!
The combat power rapidly rising.
Soon, as if the measurement was complete, a beep! alarm was heard.
“Oh oh! Commander! The measurement is now complete!”
“Good. What’s my combat power?”
“It’s as high as seventy-six thousand!”
“What!? That high!?”
Rachel checked the number shown on the goggles once again.
[Combat Power: 76631]
“Yes! Commander!”
It was a much higher figure than expected.
This level was top-tier combat power even among battalion commanders.
“At this rate, won’t you become a regiment commander soon?”
“I want to tell you not to count your chickens before they hatch… But really, it’s not far off.”
From what they’ve confirmed so far, the average combat power of a regiment commander is around 100,000.
Although there was still quite a numerical difference, considering the rate of growth, it didn’t seem like it would take too long.
“What if I really become a division commander and corps commander at this rate?”
“Ah~ We should leave here before that happens! Hero. Have you forgotten our purpose!? You’re the hero who defeats the Demon King and saves the world!”
“That’s your goal.”
“Tch.”
“Well, since we need to achieve it to date and get married in a peaceful world, I guess the process itself will be similar.”
Still lacking in power.
Right now, Choi Hyun-seok had made the most powerful nation on the continent his enemy.
‘Someday… When I become strong enough that no one can stop me, that’s when I’ll leave.’
The dream he had vaguely thought about until now.
The fog blocking its path seemed to be clearing little by little.
***
That night.
A group of rats appeared in a forest not far from the Black Giant Star.
“Squeak! Hurry!”
The rats laid out the materials they had prepared in advance and began drawing magic circles on the ground.
As if they had much experience with this, their coordination was natural and their movements had no waste.
“It’s complete! Squeak!”
Before long, a huge device was created.
It was a Space Transfer Gate.
Soon after, rats began pouring out from the completed gate.
“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”
“Set it on fire! The Black Giant Star belongs to our Skevin clan!”
“It’s war! War! Squeak!”
“You idiots! Hurry and set up the magic artillery!”
It wasn’t just rats pouring out.
“You monsters! Move quickly!”
“Kwaaaah-!”
“Kieeek!”
Chimeras.
Chimeras made by roughly stitching together all kinds of magical beasts were pouring out.
The Skevin clan led by Rotark and the Chimera corps.
These forces, which could be considered Rotark’s direct unit in the 2nd Corps, had made their move.
Among them, there was a particularly large and noticeably white rat.
It was the 2nd Corps Commander Rotark.
The 4th Corps Commander Park Hyun-a was also with him.
She was originally someone with a cold atmosphere, but now she was frowning as if something was not to her liking.
“This is really disgusting.”
About two thousand giant rats.
The grotesque chimeras numbered over a thousand as well.
With them gathered together, the feeling of disgust seemed to double.
Park Hyun-a turned to look at Rotark.
“Hey. You rat.”
Veins popped on Rotark’s forehead at hearing the derogatory term for rats.
He desperately suppressed his anger.
‘I must endure for now. She was always like this…’
Park Hyun-a’s crude language wasn’t anything new.
Moreover, they were right before carrying out their plan.
It wasn’t time to be caught up in personal matters.
“What is it?”
“Can you really do it with just this? We’re attacking the Black Giant Star.”
“It’s more than enough, so don’t worry.”
Currently, there are about 5,000 combat troops in the Black Giant Star.
Among them, two regimental commander-level officers.
One division commander-level, Reidrun.
Finally, there’s Corps Commander Hemis.
“More than enough my ass. We’re outnumbered from the start. Besides, can these rats who are no different from goblins really fight?”
The Skevin clan led by Rotark.
These beings with rat appearances were actually terrible at combat.
The general assessment was that they were just slightly better than goblins.
Even with the chimeras, they were clearly at a disadvantage both in numbers and quality.
Honestly, it was questionable if they could match up.
“Stupid woman. Our clan’s elite have gathered. Even if the enemy numbered 10,000, we absolutely wouldn’t lose.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’ll see.”
Rotark was confident.
The strength of himself and the Skevin clan isn’t something that shows in appearance.
Once the battle begins, Park Hyun-a’s needless worries would disappear completely.
“Park Hyun-a. Don’t worry about other things and just do your job well. Catching Hemis. You’re confident about that, right?”
“I’ll handle my part well. Bastard.”
“Yes… That’s fine then.”
Rotark moved his steps in irritation.
‘Human wench… When I become the strongest king, I’ll split your head open and check it myself.’
He thought it might be fun to cut off that arrogant human’s head and attach it to Hemis’s body.
Making the two adversaries stay together forever.
‘Kekek! You’ll both bow at my feet equally, so it won’t be unfair!’
A bizarre smile hung on Rotark’s lips as he imagined the future that would unfold.
***
Reidrun’s personal training room.
Today, Choi Hyun-seok and Reidrun were continuing their sparring that resembled actual combat.
“Hup!”
Choi Hyun-seok urgently twisted his body.
Simultaneously, a red fist brushed past his head.
A sharp breaking sound hit his ears.
If he hadn’t dodged, it surely would have been a serious injury.
Choi Hyun-seok immediately went into counterattack.
‘Nobilrace…’
Demonic energy and magic power boiled.
Choi Hyun-seok naturally dove into Reidrun’s space using the center of gravity from his twisted body.
Nobilrace.
3rd Form – Price of Arrogance
A continuous attack followed immediately.
Six consecutive punches were driven into Reidrun’s abdomen.
Papapapapat!
Purple flashes burst forth each time the fists made contact.
Choi Hyun-seok clenched his teeth and put all his strength into the sixth and final attack.
‘Did it break through?’
For a moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s attack broke through Reidrun’s guard and reached his abdomen.
‘It went in properly…!’
It was the first time.
That his attack had reached Reidrun.
Just as joy was rising on Choi Hyun-seok’s face.
“Huh?”
A fist filled his vision.
Kwajik!
A fist drove into his temple, and Choi Hyun-seok flew dozens of meters.
Looking at Choi Hyun-seok writhing on the ground, Reidrun lightly dusted off his hands.
“Let’s stop here for today.”
“Th-thank you…”
Still conscious, Choi Hyun-seok answered in a dying voice.
Reidrun smiled slightly.
‘What a terrifying growth rate, come to think of it.’
Originally, Reidrun couldn’t even see Choi Hyun-seok.
The gap was so vast that there wasn’t even a need to look at him.
But now, even Reidrun had to pay considerable attention when facing Choi Hyun-seok.
Although he was still sparring without using Fighting Spirit, using only his bare body, the moment might come soon when he would have to use Fighting Spirit too.
‘Choi Hyun-seok is no longer weak. Yet he has such a growth rate… It’s unbelievable.’
Choi Hyun-seok’s growth rate was beyond comparison.
Growth so fast it was unprecedented.
However, nothing lasts forever.
After the beginner phase.
At some point, a plateau is bound to come.
But Choi Hyun-seok was ignoring such general rules and still growing at a rapid pace.
“Keep going like this.”
“Yes.”
“And your ability to transform your body is still very clumsy. Rather, the transformation is interfering with combat.”
Reidrun pointed out about the body transformation ability Choi Hyun-seok had recently acquired.
“Remember. Power that you can’t control is just a hindrance.”
“I’ll keep that in mind…”
Honestly, regarding the transformation, Choi Hyun-seok felt somewhat wronged, but he didn’t say anything.
Because Reidrun was right.
Whether thorns sprouted from his body or his skin turned to steel, it was useless if he couldn’t control it.
In a life-or-death battle, he couldn’t fight relying only on luck.
“Phew, thank you for today as well.”
“Yes. Are you thinking of going back now?”
“Yes. I plan to continue training in the barracks.”
“If you want, you can use this place.”
“Would that be alright…?”
“Of course! If it’s you, Choi Hyun-seok, you can use it as much as you want!”
This place was literally a personal training ground for Reidrun alone.
Since Reidrun was usually busy with work and didn’t appear often, it would essentially be Choi Hyun-seok using it alone.
“Thank you!”
Choi Hyun-seok didn’t particularly decline.
Honestly, the training he could do in the narrow barracks was limited.
And it felt awkward to borrow other units’ training grounds.
‘I was planning to use the battalion training ground when I officially become battalion commander later, but until then, I’ll use this place.’
Just as Choi Hyun-seok was smiling while thinking about the training ahead.
Suddenly, Reidrun’s expression hardened.
Reidrun looking somewhere with a serious expression.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was watching that sight curiously, also hardened his expression.
“This is…?”
It was a wave of demonic energy.
An enormous amount of demonic energy was flying in from far away.
Naturally, his head turned in the direction Reidrun was looking.
Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth gaped wide open.
“Lord Reidrun. What is that…?”
“I don’t know either…”
Massive bundles of demonic energy were pouring down from the sky.
