8th Division Commander Grat was seething with anger, unable to contain himself.
“Reidrun, you arrogant little bastard!” Crash!
The items on the table shattered.
Fragments of pens, paper, bowls, and vases scattered everywhere.
Only after rampaging for a while was Grat finally able to suppress his anger.
Slumping down in his chair, he muttered.
“I don’t like it… I really don’t like it…”
Nothing was going right.
He had fallen out of Hemis’s favor due to repeated defeats.
Humans were walking through 8th Division’s jurisdiction like it was their own backyard.
Grat also wanted to go crush the human army right away if he could.
But it was realistically impossible.
8th Division’s current forces were barely enough just for defense.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
‘Going out now would be suicide.’
The reason Grat had survived so long as a frontline commander.
It was because he was capable of relatively logical thinking for a demon army commander.
He doesn’t charge in recklessly like other idiots.
Thanks to that, both he and 8th Division were able to survive.
‘Who’s been maintaining this frontline all this time? And now they treat me like this?’
Moreover, the 8th Division predicament wasn’t even his fault.
‘Come to think of it, isn’t this situation caused by Hemis? That crazy woman? Why should I take responsibility for what she did!’
Recently, Hemis’s actions were clearly abnormal to anyone watching.
She suddenly brought humans into the demon army, held a strange tournament.
Not only did she fight with 4th Corps Commander Park Hyun-a, but she even killed 2nd Corps Commander Rotark.
As a result, there was a gap in their forces, forcing them to take such a defensive strategy.
‘The relationship between the Demon King and Hemis has also festered.’
There was another problem.
The deepening conflict between Hemis and the Demon King.
The atmosphere in the Demon King’s Army’s upper ranks hadn’t been normal lately.
People were already openly discussing which side to take between the Demon King and Hemis.
In this situation, Reidrun, who could be considered Hemis’s right-hand man, showed up with officers from regiment headquarters and humans in tow.
And if that wasn’t enough, trying to extort Gardrak Castle.
It was absolutely outrageous.
‘It’s time to make a choice.’
Grat thinks.
He had already fallen out of Hemis’s favor.
His chances of survival under Hemis were practically zero.
So what should he do?
‘I need to draw a clear line. I need to gain justification while weakening Hemis’s power.’
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Grat’s mind.
“Hehe… Yes. That will do…”
He opened the inner drawer.
There was a communication device inside.
Though it looked ordinary on the outside, this was a very precious item.
A secret communication device that only responds to Grat’s demonic energy.
When he inserted his demonic energy, it connected to the other side immediately.
-Oh, who do we have here! If it isn’t our cowardly commander Grat!? Hahaha!
The other party started by thoroughly getting on his nerves.
His molars grinded together, but he suppressed his anger.
He was the one in need right now.
He had no choice but to humor the enemy.
“Brian Balkats. It’s been a while.”
Surprisingly, Grat’s communication partner was human.
And not just any human – a commander from the Holy Empire of Gatren.
They had a relationship of sworn enemies who had been fighting with the 8th Division for a long time.
‘I have no choice if I want to survive.’
Actually, it was quite common for hostile commanders on the frontline to have communications.
The frontline had been stagnant for over 100 years, going back and forth.
Unless you were a fool, you could tell there were deals being made at the top.
So the frontline commanders chose.
“Since the higher-ups are making deals anyway, let’s coordinate too!”
The frontline doesn’t move.
They just exchange moderate damage with each other.
Then there was a need to exchange information to avoid becoming sacrifices themselves.
That’s how this strange hotline came to be.
-So what’s the matter? You were holed up in Gardrak Castle without showing your face. Are you planning to surrender? Sorry, but we don’t take demon prisoners. The only good demon is a dead demon! Hahaha!
Commander Brian Balkats kept mocking him without pause.
He seemed intent on thoroughly getting on the nerves of the demon commander who contacted him after so long.
Grat took a deep breath.
‘I must endure. What I’m about to say is important…’
After calming his anger, Grat opened his mouth.
“I want to propose a deal.”
-A deal! Sorry, but I’m not particularly interested right now. The higher-ups are planning to push quite hard this time.
“It won’t be a deal that disadvantages you.”
-Well, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to listen.
Grat grinned.
If the conversation has progressed this far, it’s done.
Because the other party definitely won’t be able to refuse this deal.
After pausing briefly, Grat spoke.
“Do you know Reidrun?”
-Of course. Reidrun the Red Nightmare. Isn’t he the right-hand man of the monster eater Hemis?
“What about the next Holy Maiden Abelson?”
-You’re asking the obvious. After you kidnapped her.
“Then do you know someone called Choi Hyun-seok? I hear your side has been quite interested in him lately.”
This time there wasn’t an immediate answer.
After a pause, Brian replied.
-Grat… You have quite sharp ears.
“Well, I have my sources here and there.”
-So why are you suddenly bringing this up? Don’t tell me you’re going to hand them over? Haha!
“That’s right. I’ll hand them all over.”
-What…?
For a moment, bewilderment colored Brian’s voice.
At the same time, Grat sensed it.
He had gained the upper hand.
“I said I’ll hand over all the people I just mentioned.”
-This joke goes too far.
“Kekeke. I don’t like jokes.”
-If what you just said is true…
“How about it, Brian Balkats. Are you ready to listen to what I have to say now?”
A cruel smile spread across Grat’s face.
***
Reidrun’s eyes glowed coldly.
His pupils were fixed on the two men charging at him.
‘A pincer attack.’
The two men charging split to either side at a certain point.
The first to attack was Choi Hyun-seok.
“Hup!”
Demonic energy exploded from Choi Hyun-seok’s body.
Pure demonic energy that was hard to believe came from a human.
What was unleashed from it was the Fighting Technique, Reidrun-style Fighting Technique that he had taught personally.
‘The power has certainly increased a lot.’
Reidrun chose to dodge instead of blocking.
Until now he had deliberately blocked instead of dodging, but that seemed difficult going forward.
It was because Choi Hyun-seok’s demonic energy had grown so explosively.
The Reidrun-style Fighting Technique is a Fighting Technique solely for destruction.
It extremely enhances the attacker’s offensive power.
The Reidrun-style Fighting Technique used by the strengthened Choi Hyun-seok had reached a level that was burdensome even for Reidrun.
Whoosh!
Reidrun twisted his body, and Choi Hyun-seok’s fist grazed past where he had been.
Though he succeeded in dodging, it was too early to feel relieved.
Roiger appeared behind Reidrun.
Roiger, who specialized in stealthy and quick movements.
His surprise attack was enough to make even Reidrun momentarily lose track of his movements.
‘The movement itself is quite excellent, but too obvious.’
Reidrun stretched his hand behind him without looking.
Roiger’s body was caught in his grip as if being sucked in.
This movement was possible because he had already anticipated where Roiger would teleport.
“Oh no…!”
Roiger’s face was painted with bewilderment.
Reidrun swung Roiger immediately.
In that direction was Choi Hyun-seok launching a kick.
“Stop!”
“Ugh!?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s kick struck Roiger’s head.
Reidrun didn’t stop and swung Roiger to send Choi Hyun-seok flying.
The two flew together and crashed into one side of the training ground.
“Kuhek!”
Roiger let out a groan.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had inadvertently struck his superior’s head, scratched the back of his head with an awkward expression.
“Are you alright?”
“It’s fine.”
“I didn’t mean to…”
“I know.”
Roiger stood up abruptly.
His pride wouldn’t allow him to act hurt here.
“Commander, your nose is bleeding.”
Roiger raised his hand and wiped his nose.
His hand was covered in blood.
It seemed like more than just a nosebleed – the bleeding was quite severe.
“…”
Roiger tried to act as naturally as possible.
“Let’s go again.”
“Yes.”
Just as the two were about to move again.
Reidrun raised his hand to stop them.
“Let’s end it here.”
It seemed he wanted to end today’s training here.
Come to think of it, it was getting dark around them.
They had been so focused on training they hadn’t noticed how much time had passed.
“Thank you for the guidance!”
Choi Hyun-seok bowed at a 90-degree angle.
Roiger also gave a light bow in greeting.
“Then we’ll be get going.”
“One moment.”
Reidrun called out to Choi Hyun-seok who was about to leave.
“Choi Hyun-seok. That body transformation technique you use.”
“Yes.”
“It doesn’t seem like you can control it freely yet.”
“That’s right…”
Reidrun talked about the power Choi Hyun-seok had recently acquired – body transformation.
“Power that can’t be controlled is dangerous. Especially in cases like body transformation.”
Choi Hyun-seok used demonic energy to pull out blades from his body and make various changes, but it wasn’t consistent.
That’s what he was pointing out.
“Think of it as Fighting Technique.”
“Fighting Technique…?”
“Fighting Technique seek ultimate efficiency by formalizing the flow of demonic energy and body.”
“…”
“Your body transformation should be possible in the same way. In some ways, it has similarities to informal Fighting Technique like Plomot.”
“Ah!”
An exclamation burst from Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth.
‘Why didn’t I think of that?’
His body changes randomly whenever he uses demonic energy.
How could he systematize this?
The answer might be closer than he thought.
The principle of Fighting Technique.
Fighting Technique are like a formula that seeks ultimate efficiency.
It creates the optimal method by observing and recording the flow of demonic energy very precisely.
Using this, he might be able to control the body transformation.
He would have to try it to be sure, but it seemed like it would definitely have an effect.
‘I was already moving in a similar way, but I didn’t think to apply Fighting Technique principles.’
He wanted to experiment right away.
A smile bloomed unconsciously at the thought of becoming stronger.
Ding!
A familiar system notification sound was heard.
At the same time, a welcome window appeared in front of Choi Hyun-seok.
[Hero Quest!
You who were confused by unintended transformation abilities!
You found a way forward through the advice of your idol Reidrun.
Create a new form of Fighting Technique!
The day you become a true dark hero isn’t far off!
Choi Hyun-seok’s expression subtly hardened after reading the content.
‘Idol? Is that because I have a bull’s head? And what’s this about a dark hero? Since when was my goal to become a dark hero!?’
There were many points he wanted to argue with, but Choi Hyun-seok sighed and forgot about it.
It wasn’t the first time the Hero Quest system had spouted nonsense.
He was used to most of it by now.
And the fact that the reward was quite appealing also helped.
‘Hero Points are a given, but body stabilization correction… That’s exactly what I need right now.’
Choi Hyun-seok’s body had always been unstable since the moment demonic energy entered it.
Though it had stabilized quite a bit after various efforts, it couldn’t be perfect.
After all, demonic energy wasn’t a power permitted for humans.
As long as he carried demonic energy, he would have to live with some degree of instability forever.
If the Hero System could help stabilize this imperfect body, it was something to welcome with open arms.
“Is something wrong?”
Reidrun asked.
He was worried because Choi Hyun-seok had suddenly gone blank.
“Ah, it’s nothing! Haha!”
“I see.”
It was common for Choi Hyun-seok to look spaced out somewhere, so he seemed to accept it.
“I have business to attend to, so I’ll be going now.”
“Yes sir!”
After Reidrun and Roiger left.
Choi Hyun-seok, who remained at the training ground, continued his training.
His movements didn’t stop until dawn broke past midnight.
