Choi Hyun-seok wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm.
Perhaps from overexertion, his fingertips trembled slightly.
With such high consumption of demonic energy and magical power, he had less than half remaining.
Quite a gloomy situation.
However, Choi Hyun-seok smiled.
“This is power leveling.”
It had been a while since he’d leveled up this significantly.
Though he couldn’t check while still in battle, he felt he’d gained at least 20 levels.
“Hey! Where do you think you’re going!”
He dodged the incoming claws and extended his fist.
The head of the Chira that had recklessly charged in exploded on impact.
“They just keep coming no matter how many we kill.”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
Rachel, who was beside him, made a contrary comnt.
“Co on, we’re almost done. Looks like only half remain?”
“You an half still remain.”
There were still close to a thousand Chiras left.
Too many to casually say ‘only half’.
“Positivity! We need to live with a positive mindset!”
“It sounds really strange hearing the word ‘positive’ co from your mouth.”
“Oh please, where else would you find soone as positive as Rachel!”
Choi Hyun-seok almost retorted ‘you’re not even human’ but stopped himself.
It wasn’t the first ti Rachel had picked up strange concepts.
He’d learned to just go with it for the most part.
‘Well, like Rachel said, the situation isn’t that bad.’
Though Choi Hyun-seok had been complaining, the battle situation wasn’t actually poor.
The Skevin Clan, which had been making the most threatening attacks, had suffered devastating losses.
Most of the remaining enemies were Chiras.
They were engaged in chaotic battle with the Black Giant Star’s soldiers, and it seed they could barely win.
The executives’ performance was particularly brilliant.
Regint Commander Roiger alone seed to have slaughtered nearly 300 Chiras.
‘The ground battle seems sowhat decided, but the problem is up there.’
He looked up at the sky.
Up there, Rotark and Hemis were engaged in fierce combat.
Kwa-rururu! Kwa-a!
Endless attacks poured from Rotark’s body.
Though it looked like random firing, each attack was precisely aid at Hemis.
Just then, one of the spells Hemis deflected flew nearby.
“Oh shit!”
Choi Hyun-seok quickly moved.
Soon after, the spell exploded where he had been.
Kwa-aaa-!
Just one.
Even though it was just one of the dozens of spells Rotark was firing per minute that fell to the ground, the result was terrifying.
Over ten Chiras gathered nearby disappeared without a trace.
‘Indeed, winning or losing here ans nothing. The outco will be decided up there.’
How monstrous were these Corps Commanders?
Choi Hyun-seok realized it once again.
Off the charts.
They were beings of a completely different dinsion.
No matter how much they struggled here, the outco of the war would ultimately be decided by their battle.
‘Surely the lip monster won’t lose…?’
Worry appeared on his face.
Rotark’s power was stronger than expected.
He had thought of him as just a lab rat, but indeed, a Corps Commander was a Corps Commander.
‘Why are you just taking hits? Fight back!’
Hemis was barely managing to defend.
Though she counterattacked occasionally, she couldn’t inflict any aningful damage.
Rotark relentlessly pushed Hemis back.
At this rate, it seed Hemis would lose.
If Hemis was defeated, Choi Hyun-seok’s life would be over too.
‘Please… Win!’
In this mont, Choi Hyun-seok sincerely beca Hemis’s supporter.
***
Looking up from the ground, the battle situation appeared overwhelmingly favorable to Rotark.
Hemis was desperately defending, while Rotark continued to push her back.
However, Rotark himself was incredibly frustrated.
‘Why… Just why!?’
At first, he thought he was doing great.
Hemis was barely blocking, and he was one-sidedly pushing her back.
But as ti passed, he had to realize.
Hemis wasn’t desperate at all.
Though it appeared she was helplessly retreating on the surface, her face was still full of amusent.
Rather, it was Rotark, who was pushing her, who felt urgent first.
‘Output is almost at its limit.’
He couldn’t unleash any stronger attacks than this.
Rotark was already pushing himself to his limits.
But what about Hemis?
Rotark knew Hemis’s true power.
‘Has she only used about half…?’
Half of her power.
Maybe not even that much.
After all, no one had ever seen Hemis’s full power.
“What are you doing?”
Rotark stopped his attacks.
Hemis tilted her head 45 degrees.
“What do you an?”
“Tsk! Fight properly, I an. I am Rotark, the 2nd Corps Commander and leader of the Skevin Clan. Take this battle seriously!”
“Oh my, are you bringing up honor and pride after stabbing in the back?”
“…”
“Anyway. Got anything else to show? I’m starting to get bored.”
Hemis’s lips spread wide.
She had yawned.
Veins popped on Rotark’s head.
‘Treating like a toy until the end.’
The recent conversation made it clear.
Hemis was deliberately dragging out the battle.
Only for her own entertainnt.
“Let’s see how long you can stay relaxed.”
Rotark pulled up his demonic energy.
The chanical devices penetrating his body turned red-hot.
He was entering an overload state.
Though it was dangerous for Rotark with his aged body, it didn’t matter.
After all, if he lost this battle, there would be no future anyway.
‘Yes… Even if defeat is certain, I can’t stop.’
In fact, Rotark knew too.
The mont Park Hyun-a turned her back, victory had slipped away.
But he wouldn’t give up.
‘I’ll make sure to see that smug smile of yours crumble.’
Hemis, who always wore a composed smile.
Arrogantly looking down on everyone, treating all beings like toys.
She was especially harsh with that treatnt towards Rotark.
Despite being fellow Corps Commanders.
Because she had saved him when he was young.
Because she had helped him.
Hemis continued treating him like a young demon child until the end.
However, now that wouldn’t be possible.
“Zzzzt!”
Rotark’s arms pointed towards the sky.
Dozens of magic circles ford in the air, connecting to the chanical devices embedded in Rotark’s body.
“Die!!!”
The demonic energy shot from dozens of magic circles consud everything.
Light and sound too.
Only darkness filled the world.
The demonic energy stained everything black like ink spilled on paper.
Seeing the black death flying towards her, Hemis’s mouth split into a wide grin.
Her smile stretched so wide her lips reached her ears.
“Now this is interesting?”
As she spoke those words, the black death swallowed her.
“…”
Only darkness remained.
Hemis was nowhere to be seen.
Rotark, watching from afar, burst into maniacal laughter.
“Kuhahaha! How’s that? Can you still look down on now!? Huh? Say sothing! Try running your mouth now!”
His strongest possible magic.
Even if it was another Corps Commander, or even the Demon King, they wouldn’t survive unscathed if hit by this magic.
The careless Hemis must have been annihilated without even being able to resist.
“This is great! Hemis. I wonder how it feels to be defeated by , whom you’ve treated like a servant for 400 years. Too bad. Too bad!”
Rotark cackled as he shouted.
At that mont.
Ziiiiik!
The black space began to split.
Rotark’s eyes narrowed.
He couldn’t understand what was happening.
Swoooosh!
The space split, and Rotark’s demonic energy was being sucked inside.
The black demonic energy that devoured everything.
Instead, it was being devoured.
All that remained was Hemis, standing perfectly still.
“That was a bit dangerous.”
Hemis made a twisted smile.
A streak of blood flowed from her lips.
Even that quickly disappeared as it was reabsorbed into Hemis.
It was a disappointing result for an attack made with resolve to die.
“H-How…”
Rotark’s pupils trembled.
Along with his arms and legs that shook violently.
Whether from shock or the side effects of using demonic energy was unclear.
He simply wanted to deny this reality.
“You’re definitely not the little kid from before. Thanks for the entertainnt.”
Hemis raised her hand and swept back her hair.
Her hair, slightly disheveled from the demonic energy’s aftermath, beca neat again.
“Well then, it’s my turn now?”
Hemis’s lips parted once more.
Her mouth, growing beyond her face, finally exceeded 3 ters.
Her lips had beco twice as large as her body.
Hundreds of tentacles began pouring out from inside her mouth.
Schwaaaah!
The sky filled with tentacles.
Seeing the approaching tentacles, Rotark let out a horrified scream.
“This can’t be…! This is impossible!”
He gathered his remaining demonic energy to counterattack.
re tentacles.
He could slice them to pieces.
The sharply honed demonic energy flew towards the tentacles.
He thought those disgusting monsters would instantly beco pieces of flesh falling to the ground.
However.
The result he saw was completely different.
Crunch crunch crunch!
Hemis’s tentacles ate away at Rotark’s demonic energy.
The lips at the ends of the tentacles opened, revealing protruding teeth that greedily devoured the demonic energy.
The sight of hundreds of tentacles baring their teeth inspired both disgust and terror.
Soon the tentacles reached Rotark and began attacking him.
Thud, whack! Crack! Smack!
It wasn’t demonic energy.
The tentacles were attacking Rotark with pure physical force.
But their power was stronger than any demonic energy.
Rotark was sent flying back and forth in midair as he was hit by hundreds of tentacles.
Slash! Crack! Crunch!
The tentacles occasionally bared their teeth to bite chunks out of Rotark.
Rotark was instantly dissected, and his scattered blood settled like a haze.
Schwaaaah!
After a mont, the tentacles returned inside Hemis’s mouth.
Returning to her normal appearance, she took a step forward.
Before her, Rotark was barely clinging to life, gasping.
“Kheuk, kheheuk…!”
Little remained of his body.
His limbs were completely gone, and his torso was so mangled his internal organs were visible.
It should have been fatal already, but Rotark’s demonic energy stubbornly kept him alive.
“He, Hemis…”
Rotark opened his mouth with difficulty.
“I, I, I… I…”
She t his dying eyes.
Hemis didn’t say anything.
She simply watched death approach silently.
“I wanted to beco… Like you…”
At that mont.
Several mories flashed through Hemis’s mind.
Rotark facing execution as a mutant in his clan.
Rotark becoming a Corps Commander.
Rotark surrounded by humans.
Hemis had saved him at every crisis.
And each ti, Rotark would habitually say,
‘Soday I’ll beco a strong demon like you, Lady Hemis.’
‘I’ll beco a demon that no one can look down on. Tsk!’
‘Please wait for , I’ll beco like you soday, Lady Hemis!’
Hemis knew.
That Rotark admired her.
But at so point, Rotark stopped saying such things.
His eyes toward her beca filled with hostility.
Admiration changed to jealousy and inferiority.
Hemis didn’t particularly care.
She just watched over Rotark as always.
Then the dying Rotark opened his mouth again.
“I wanted to beco like you…”
“I know. But you see.”
Hemis grinned.
“The idea that soone like you could beco like . What an ambitious dream. Wouldn’t it be faster to be reborn? Ohohoho!”
“You bitch, until the end…!”
Various emotions rose on Rotark’s face, but that was the end.
Crunch!
Hemis swallowed Rotark whole.
She raised her hand and wiped the blood from her lips.
“Thanks for the entertainnt.”
Rotark, the 2nd Corps Commander of the Demon King’s Army and leader of the Skevin clan.
He had been quite a useful toy.
