“Is that true?”

Pope Orban IV.

For the first time in a while, he showed a genuine smile, not a fake one.

It was due to the communication from field commander Brian Balkats.

“Reidrun, Abelson Mariette, Choi Hyun-seok… A chance to eliminate them all at once…”

Demon King’s Army high-ranking executive Reidrun.

The next Holy Maiden Abelson Mariette.

Hero Choi Hyun-seok.

All three were major headaches for the Pope.

Red Nightmare Reidrun.

His notoriety was among the highest in the Demon King’s Army.

This was because he was a powerful figure comparable to a division commander while always fighting on the frontlines.

Just his presence on the battlefield was enough to lower the soldiers’ morale.

Additionally, Reidrun was Hemis’s trusted subordinate.

Killing Reidrun now would be equivalent to cutting off Hemis’s right arm.

The next Holy Maiden Abelson Mariette was also quite a troublesome existence.

Since she could hear the voice of God, she knew many secrets that shouldn’t be revealed.

Such a being not only disobeyed his orders but also had high public support.

It would be better to deal with her quickly as she could cause quite troublesome situations if she spoke carelessly.

Lastly, Hero Choi Hyun-seok.

‘Perhaps the one who could become the biggest threat…’

The Pope knew how dangerous Heroes could be.

They grow stronger endlessly at an incredible pace.

That’s why the Pope tried to keep all Heroes under control.

Otherwise, cases like Park Hyun-a could occur.

Even now, he shudders thinking about the damage Park Hyun-a caused to the Empire.

But Choi Hyun-seok was growing stronger at an even faster rate than Park Hyun-a.

And he is with the Demon King’s Army.

He didn’t even want to imagine what a huge problem he would become if a few years passed.

“It seems God hasn’t abandoned me yet. Hahaha!”

The Pope laughed as if he had made an amusing joke.

“Dealing with those three at once would be like pulling out an aching tooth – such a relief!”

He couldn’t hide his excitement, seeming delighted just imagining it.

“What does he want?”

“To withdraw soldiers from near the Demon King’s Army 8th Division for a while. And he wants the Five Thousand Unit as sacrifice.”

“The Five Thousand Unit? What’s the reason?”

“He says he needs achievements.”

The Pope’s smile deepened at the word ‘achievements’.

“Was that demon’s name Grat? I’ve heard the name, but he’s craftier than I expected.”

“Yes. He’s exceptionally clever for a demon.”

“Accept the proposal for now.”

Pope Orban readily agreed.

Cardinal Elrond couldn’t help but be surprised.

The Pope had essentially just declared he would sacrifice the lives of five thousand soldiers.

“Will it be alright?”

“Of course, we can’t use our Empire’s soldiers. Fill the sacrifices with soldiers from other allied nations.”

“What a brilliant idea!”

“And after the allied nations’ soldiers die, we’ll deal with that demon Grat too. How dare a mere demon propose a deal. Isn’t it presumptuous?”

“Indeed… The real achievement will go to our Empire. Hahaha!”

“That’s right. I trust Lord Elrond will set up the stage well.”

“Leave it to me!”

Elrond was confident.

Setting up such stages was his specialty.

Though thousands of innocent soldiers would die in the process, it couldn’t be helped.

‘A small sacrifice for the greater cause.’

A benevolent smile resembling the Pope’s appeared on Cardinal Elrond’s face.

***

Early dawn.

It was still twilight before sunrise.

In the faint light, Hero Choi Hyun-seok was moving his body sluggishly.

If someone saw him, they might misunderstand that he was dancing strangely.

Shortly after.

The sunlight shines down with the rising sun.

Choi Hyun-seok’s gradually revealed body was even more bizarre than his dancing.

Hiss… Hiss!

His skin twists as if boiling.

Blade-like things protrude, and sometimes it suddenly changes to become hard as rock.

Occasionally, electrical currents would flow.

It was the process of forcibly inducing changes by stimulating the body with demonic energy.

Choi Hyun-seok was constantly trying to find a regular pattern within it.

“Phew… I’ll stop here.”

He catches his breath.

His body, which had been transforming into various forms, returned to its original state.

“Hero! Hero!”

Rachel, who had been squatting nearby watching the training, came running over.

“How is it?”

“Nothing special yet.”

“Tch. You’ve been shaking around all night and there’s no progress?”

“Wouldn’t it be stranger if there were results in just one day? And what do you mean by ‘shaking around’!?”

“I’m just saying what I saw?”

“I really might kill you…”

Despite training intensely all night, there wasn’t much progress.

Actually, this was natural.

Until now, Choi Hyun-seok’s growth and learning ability had been extraordinarily exceptional.

Originally, learning something new isn’t as easy as one might think.

Others invest months to years just to learn one Fighting Technique.

Creating a Fighting Technique is several times harder than that.

Not just Fighting Techniques, but most things related to magic power are similar.

It was strange that Choi Hyun-seok could learn and create things so easily at his current level.

“Still, I think I’m starting to get the hang of it.”

Choi Hyun-seok smiled while scratching his head.

Though he had just snapped about there being no results in one day, in reality, he was already showing some progress.

“What kind of progress?”

“Remember those demonic energy ampules I drank back then were five in total.”

“Yes!”

Rachel nodded.

The demonic energy ampules that Choi Hyun-seok drank at Rotark’s laboratory were five in total.

Hemis had investigated the related materials and personally handed them over.

“After trying a few times, I think I can systematize it by setting one form for each ampoule. You could say it’s the most efficient method.”

“Ooh! Like transformation modes?”

“Right. The blade that keeps coming out of me is definitely related.”

“Why the blade?”

“One of the demonic energy ampules I drank was from a magical beast called Fulminium. Its characteristic was emitting electricity from hard blades. If I figure out the method, I might be able to handle the ability to use electricity too.”

“Oho…”

“I’ll need to apply similar methods of transformation based on the characteristics I extract from the other magical beasts too.”

Choi Hyun-seok explained what he had been thinking about until now.

Rachel, who was listening, gave him a dubious look.

“Hero, you’re acting strange today.”

“How so.”

Rachel circled around Choi Hyun-seok.

“Something’s definitely off. Did using too much demon energy do something to your head? No! Are you really our Hero!?”

“Why are you acting like this?”

“You suddenly got too smart! Who are you! What did you do to our Hero!?”

“Should I really kill you… And I was smart originally!?”

“Kyaa! A smart doppelganger killed our Hero and took his skin!”

Choi Hyun-seok shouted loudly.

Rachel ran towards one side of the barracks without looking back.

Choi Hyun-seok, who was about to chase after her, gave up with a sigh.

“Forget it. I’m too tired to chase…”

He felt drained after training all night.

Though physically he wouldn’t have problems going without sleep for a day or two, he was just mentally fatigued.

“Why did you push yourself so hard?”

“When I felt like I was getting somewhere, I couldn’t let it go.”

Choi Hyun-seok hadn’t planned to stay up all night.

Originally, he had planned to train for just an hour or two and return, but he got caught up in something that seemed just out of reach and ended up staying up all night.

“Ugh! Alright. I need to train with Reidrun again soon, so I should eat something.”

He stretched vigorously and left the barracks.

He planned to have a hearty meal before today’s training began.

‘And I can meet Miss Abelson while I’m at it.’

A smile naturally appeared at the thought of eating meat with Abelson.

At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes opened wide.

A familiar face had just passed by.

“Lord Reidrun?”

“Ah, Hyun-seok. Did you rest well?”

“Yes… Well… Haha!”

He couldn’t mention that he had been training all night here.

It was obvious that Reidrun, who considered rest as part of training, would lecture him.

“I rested pretty well. By the way, Lord Reidrun, is something wrong?”

Choi Hyun-seok asked while observing Reidrun’s expression.

His demeanor seemed unusual.

Others might not notice, but Choi Hyun-seok could tell.

Reidrun’s expression was subtly distorted.

“Hyun-seok. So you noticed it too.”

“Pardon?”

“The castle’s atmosphere is not normal.”

“Ah, it does seem quite busy.”

Choi Hyun-seok said while looking around.

As he mentioned, soldiers were busily moving back and forth.

He hadn’t paid much attention, thinking it was just training, but apparently Reidrun saw it differently.

“It looks like they’re preparing for battle.”

“Battle…”

Just as Choi Hyun-seok’s tone became heavy,

A group of soldiers came running towards them.

“Lord Reidrun! Division Commander Grat is looking for you.”

“What’s the matter?”

“He says battle will begin soon and requests your presence at the strategy meeting.”

***

The conference room was already filled with numerous officers.

It seemed all officers battalion commander rank and above were present.

All eyes turned to Reidrun who entered late.

“You’re late.”

“Does coming from the corps make you walk around with your shoulders high?”

Even though they were quiet murmurs, Reidrun’s sensitive hearing caught them clearly.

Reidrun sat down without saying anything.

‘No need to get along with them particularly.’

He had come running as soon as he got the message, yet he was the last to arrive.

This simply meant he received the notice late.

Probably this situation was intentionally orchestrated.

“Sit down. The meeting will begin now.”

The conference room quieted at Grat’s words.

He looked at the demon standing at the front.

“Continue.”

“Yes. Since we have a new person, I’ll start from the beginning.”

There was a huge magically created map in the conference room.

It showed the terrain near Gardrak Castle.

The demon pointed at the map and explained the situation.

“We’ve received urgent news that human armies are gathering to surround Gardrak Castle.”

Red dots spread out around Gardrak Castle on the map.

“Total scale is approximately 20,000. We expect them all to gather at Gardrak Castle within two days.”

“20,000…”

“The problem is that this 20,000 is likely just the advance force. Based on past experience, there’s a high possibility that a main force of similar size is coming.”

As the explanation continued, the commanders’ expressions darkened.

The immediate visible enemy was 20,000.

And there was likely a similar or larger force coming behind them.

If so, the enemy’s scale had to be considered at least 40,000.

“Those humans are really determined.”

For the Demon King’s Army, this was equivalent to two divisions.

It was rare for such a large-scale army to move.

This meant the enemy was also betting everything on this battle.

“How many soldiers are currently in Gardrak Castle?”

“Approximately 10,000.”

“This won’t be easy.”

Even for a defensive battle, stopping 40,000 with 10,000 would be difficult.

Moreover, this was a world where magic existed.

Defense might not be an advantage but rather a disadvantage.

When large-scale magic attacks begin, soldiers gathered in the castle would be like sitting ducks.

“Can we request support from other castles?”

“That would be risky. Even if support comes, they’re likely to be defeated one by one.”

Gardrak Castle had the most soldiers gathered here.

Other castles had at most three to five thousand soldiers.

They would likely be defeated by humans before even reaching here.

“…”

Silence hung over the conference room.

No one spoke in this hopeless situation.

This was natural since there were hardly any officers with the intelligence to come up with tactics in the first place.

“We have no choice.”

Grat broke the silence.

After looking around at the officers once, he declared, and simultaneously astonishment struck.

“We will leave Gardrak Castle.”
