Sothing was sprinting through the forest at an incredible speed.
Its running speed was so fast it couldn’t be tracked with the naked eye.
Every ti it touched the ground, a thunderous sound rang out.
Sand and dust scattered in all directions.
The spreading noise and demon energy caused an untily commotion in the forest.
“Keeek!”
“Keuruk! Run away!”
Sothing that terrified the forest creatures just by running.
Its identity was…!
“Choi Hyun-seok!”
It was Reidrun.
Reidrun was running with all his might.
The destination was Inessimot, the Land of Magical Beasts.
Originally, they should have used the Space Transfer Gate, but humans had destroyed it.
Thanks to that, Reidrun was sprinting to Inessimot on his sturdy two legs.
“Hold on a bit longer! I’m coming!”
The distance from the Black Giant Star to the entrance of Inessimot is over 500km.
It wasn’t a distance that could be reached in a short ti, especially by running…
But Reidrun made the impossible possible.
About 3 hours after he left the Black Giant Star.
Inessimot was already starting to co into his view.
“Huff! Huff! Just a little further!”
Sweat poured madly from Reidrun’s entire body.
More than half of his demon energy was already gone, and his legs were trembling so much it was difficult just to stand.
Nevertheless, Reidrun ran at full power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every ti he stepped on the ground, sandstorms arose, and his body shot forward like a cannonball fired from a cannon.
This was a more grueling battle than any fight he had fought until now.
‘Finally, the gate…’
The gate began to appear in the distance.
‘First, I should rest for about 3 minutes to recover my stamina, then deal with the humans.’
This was Reidrun’s plan.
Recover stamina with a brief rest.
Deal with all the arrogant humans who dared to attack Choi Hyun-seok and the Demon King’s Army.
Later, repair the gate and return to the Black Giant Star.
‘No. There’s no ti to rest! Who knows what danger Choi Hyun-seok might be in at this mont!’
Thinking again, even 3 minutes of rest was a luxury.
Choi Hyun-seok’s life could be in imdiate danger.
In this situation, rest was out of the question.
Just as Reidrun decided to deal with the humans right away.
He could see two n next to the gate.
“Choi Hyun-seok…?”
It was half-dying Choi Hyun-seok and regint commander Roiger.
***
After hearing the whole story, Reidrun was extrely pleased.
“Hahaha! To think you dealt with those humans. Choi Hyun-seok. As expected of the man I acknowledged!”
Reidrun laughed heartily and slapped Choi Hyun-seok’s back.
At that mont, blood spurted from Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth.
“Kuhek!”
“So-sorry! Are you alright!?”
“I feel like I’m dying…”
Currently, Choi Hyun-seok was barely alive due to the side effects of Plomot.
Thanks to drinking high-grade potions consecutively, he wasn’t about to die imdiately, but he was still seriously injured.
It was like maintaining the shape of broken pottery by patching it up with tape.
He needed absolute rest until he was completely healed.
Reidrun made a concerned expression.
“Choi Hyun-seok! Sit here. I’ll heal you.”
He said, placing his hand on Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder.
At that mont, Choi Hyun-seok jumped up.
“I-I’m fine! What healing!?”
“Hmm, but I think you should receive treatnt…”
“I’m perfectly fine. Look! I’m so energetic! Haha!”
Choi Hyun-seok suddenly started doing jumping jacks.
‘What is this crazy bull-head trying to do again!’
Previously, there was an experience where Reidrun tried to heal Choi Hyun-seok by injecting demon energy and nearly killed him.
Of course, the situation now was different from then.
Choi Hyun-seok could now freely handle demon energy.
During Plomot use, horns even grow on his head like a demon.
Nevertheless, he didn’t want to receive Reidrun’s treatnt.
It was a kind of PTSD, you could say.
‘Abelson isn’t here either…’
Abelson Mariette, who specializes in healing, wasn’t present here.
If sothing went wrong, he would die right there.
He didn’t want to take unnecessary risks.
“Kuhuk, huk! Since I’m this fine… I’ll respectfully decline the treatnt.”
Even while sweating profusely from pain, Choi Hyun-seok adamantly refused treatnt.
Reidrun reluctantly nodded.
“Alright. Get treatnt from the Holy Maiden when we return to the Black Giant Star…”
Reidrun hung his head with a gloomy face like a man whose date request was rejected.
Choi Hyun-seok brought up another topic to change the subject.
“Ahem, Lord Reidrun. By the way, what should we do now?”
“What do you an?”
“The gate is destroyed… And isn’t it extrely far to the Black Giant Star?”
Choi Hyun-seok and Roiger were extrely tired.
It was difficult just to stand, let alone run to the Black Giant Star.
No, even if they were fine, such a thing would be impossible.
Reidrun must have been out of his mind to run over 500km in just 3 hours.
“Don’t worry. I brought materials to make a gate.”
Reidrun pulled out various devices from his chest.
There were things that looked like jewels, and stones covered in strange patterns.
So even looked like chanical devices.
“Are you saying you’ll make a gate right here?”
“It’s not particularly difficult.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a dubious face.
‘Can a Space Transfer Gate be made that easily…?’
Just the odds and ends Reidrun pulled out made a whole bundle.
How would he make a gate by assembling those?
Moreover, Reidrun was a warrior type.
Though the muscles rippling over his red skin did feel sowhat magical.
Those muscles didn’t guarantee magical ability.
“Hmm, was this how it’s done?”
While Reidrun was making various preparations alone, Choi Hyun-seok carefully approached Roiger.
He whispered near Roiger’s ear.
“Sir Roiger. Is this gate thing. Is it sothing easy to make?”
“No.”
Roiger answered flatly.
“Even with materials, experts need to work on it for at least a day.”
“…Then is Sir Reidrun magically skilled at an expert level?”
“Well. I’ve never heard of Sir Reidrun using magic.”
“If… Sothing goes wrong with the gate, what happens?”
“You die the mont you enter.”
As the conversation continued, Choi Hyun-seok’s expression darkened.
‘Ah… I really think I’m going to die…’
Though he desperately tried to act fine, Choi Hyun-seok was really not in good condition.
To be honest, it was miraculous that he hadn’t lost consciousness.
This ant it wasn’t ti to be leisurely without receiving treatnt.
‘Should I really get treatnt from Reidrun…’
Just as Choi Hyun-seok was seriously contemplating this.
Reidrun stood up from his seat.
“It’s complete.”
“What? It’s finished already?”
It hadn’t even been an hour since Reidrun started fiddling with sothing.
“Stay back. You might be negatively affected by the demonic energy.”
Reidrun put his hands together in prayer.
Soon, trendous demonic energy began flowing from his body.
Woooong!
The magic circle on the ground shone brightly and a gate appeared.
However, the created gate was sohow strange.
It was about half the normal size, and sothing like a black mbrane was undulating in an unsettling way.
Reidrun either didn’t think it was strange or was satisfied, as he nodded with a content expression.
“It’s disposable but not bad.”
Choi Hyun-seok glanced at Roiger.
“Is that okay…?”
“I’ll give up being first. I’ll go in last.”
“That’s unfair.”
As the two hesitated, Reidrun approached.
“What are you doing? Hurry and go.”
“Yes…”
“Choi Hyun-seok, you go first.”
“ first…?”
“You need to go get treatnt quickly.”
After rolling his eyes around, Choi Hyun-seok eventually resigned himself and stood in front of the gate.
“Um…”
When he looked back, Reidrun was staring at him with an expression asking why he wasn’t going in yet.
Choi Hyun-seok sighed.
‘Please just let live.’
After a quick prayer, he stepped into the gate.
Woong!
The gate undulated.
Choi Hyun-seok felt like his insides were turning over.
“Ughk…”
It felt completely different from the normal gate he had passed through before.
He felt like he needed to vomit everything in his stomach right away.
“Huff… Hah… Have I arrived…?”
Soon Choi Hyun-seok regained his senses and lifted his head with difficulty.
Then he saw a familiar scene.
It was the Black Giant Star Castle.
“Thankfully I arrived properly… Huh?”
The place he arrived at was definitely the Black Giant Star Castle.
But it was very different from when Choi Hyun-seok had departed.
“What’s going on now?”
The Black Giant Star Castle was half-destroyed.
The castle, which was as large as a decent-sized city, had been smashed.
Moreover, the sky was completely dyed black, looking like an apocalyptic scene.
“Is this really the right place…? Did I perhaps ti travel to a future where the Demon King’s Army was defeated…”
Just as Choi Hyun-seok was muttering, he felt demonic energy so intense it made his flesh tremble from far away.
Demonic energy far more intense than what Reidrun had emitted just before.
It was demonic energy familiar to Choi Hyun-seok.
‘The lip monster…?’
Hemis’s demonic energy was enveloping the entire Black Giant Star Castle.
***
“Shit… I’m really going to die at this rate.”
Park Hyun-a spat.
The sticky saliva stuck to the ground was mostly dead blood, dark red in color.
When she looked up, she saw the culprit behind all this.
“Hey mouth. Isn’t this enough?”
The Grotesque Eater Hemis.
She was floating in the air looking down at Park Hyun-a.
Unlike the half-dying Park Hyun-a, Hemis looked pristine without a single wound.
“Ohoho. What do you an by enough?”
“You know too. That I’m not a traitor.”
“I don’t know?”
Hemis grinned.
Park Hyun-a’s face twisted even more.
‘That bitch… She’s using as a punching bag to vent her anger.’
From what she heard, it had been over 100 years since Hemis last appeared on the battlefield.
In other words, it ant Hemis had been cooped up in this Black Giant Star for 100 years.
She had been feeling frustrated, and then sothing happened that made Hemis angry.
And unfortunately, she who happened to be there had beco a punching bag like this.
“By the way, you’ve gotten quite strong too. I don’t think you lasted this long 3 years ago. Are you calling yourself a hero?”
“Have you gotten dentia from living too long? It’s been over 3 years since I quit the hero business, what hero?”
“Oh my, don’t deny it.”
Hemis slowly approached.
Standing in front of her, Hemis raised her hand and stroked Park Hyun-a’s chin.
“No matter what anyone says, you’re a hero. A human hero can never beco a demon.”
“…”
“How long did you think you could survive by being clever?”
Park Hyun-a smacked Hemis’s hand away.
“Stop talking nonsense. What do you think the Demon King will do when he find out about your crazy behavior?”
“How interesting that the hero looks for the Demon King when at a disadvantage! Ohohohoho!”
“That disgusting laugh is always disgusting… Kuhak!”
In an instant, Hemis stretched out her hand and grabbed Park Hyun-a’s neck.
“You bat-like woman. How dare you ntion the Demon King?”
“Kughk…”
“Don’t misunderstand. The Demon King won’t watch your back forever.”
“Ku, kughk…!”
“I’ve been watching over the Demon King since he was being nursed. Even if I kill you here, the Demon King would just click his tongue once, don’t you think?”
Park Hyun-a’s face gradually turned red.
She tried to resist, but her body wouldn’t listen.
Tentacles erging from Hemis’s mouth began wrapping around Park Hyun-a’s body.
“Still, thank you. Thanks to you I got to stretch after a long ti.”
“St-stop…”
“Yes. Now die.”
The tentacles wrapping Park Hyun-a’s body tightened even more.
At this rate, Park Hyun-a’s body would be torn to pieces.
Just before Park Hyun-a’s breath stopped.
“Lady Hemis. That’s enough.”
A familiar voice was heard from behind her.
At the sa ti, Hemis’s lips twisted.
“Lady Hemis.”
The voice was heard once again.
Hemis reluctantly turned around.
There stood a large bull-headed demon.
“It is the Demon King’s ssage to stop now.”
It was Ozges, the leader of the Cowden clan that Reidrun belonged to and the commander of the Demon King’s Army 5th Corps.
