Hyun-seok immediately began experimenting.
He wanted to physically master this idea before he forgot it.
“Inhale, exhale…”
He steadied his breathing in front of a huge rock.
‘I need to strike demonic energy from behind at the last moment. Then when it’s enraged, leave just one path open.’
The plan was simple.
First, use only demonic energy to create Fighting Techniques.
Then, right before the Fighting Technique activates, push the demonic energy from behind with magical power.
Of course, the demonic energy would go berserk, but the Fighting Technique would already be activating.
If he blocked the rear with magical power, the demonic energy would surely express its rage along the established path.
Hyun-seok thought this would result in greatly increased Fighting Technique power.
‘Well, we won’t know until we actually try it.’
Though simple in words, execution required tremendous magical power control.
Additionally, if done wrong, the rampaging demonic energy inside his body could endanger his life.
Nevertheless, Hyun-seok was determined to try.
‘This isn’t the time to only seek safe paths.’
He would accept the risk.
The greater the risk accepted, the greater the growth afterward.
“Inhale…”
Hyun-seok drew up demonic energy from his body with his breath.
‘Reidrun-style Fighting Technique’.
As he prepared to use Fighting Technique,
Reidrun’s words from before flashed through his mind.
‘Naming Fighting Technique serves as a trigger.’
“Simply put, it makes the body remember the name and Fighting Techniques as one.”
“You won’t understand right now. For now, just remember you need to name the Fighting Techniques appropriately and keep repeating it.”
Currently, Hyun-seok was trying to use Reidrun-style Fighting Technique Type 1 Early Destruction.
However, it would become a slightly different form ofFighting Technique.
‘A name, huh. Should give it the coolest name possible from the Fighting Technique’s perspective too.’
While he was thinking, the demonic energy was steadily moving.
As Hyun-seok’s fist drew back and the demonic energy inside was about to burst forth-

He drew up magical power and forcefully pushed the demonic energy!
“Kugh…!”
Hyun-seok’s face contorted from the incoming pain.
As expected, the demonic energy began rampaging madly.
‘From here is crucial.’
Hyun-seok blocked all paths with magical power to prevent the demonic energy from leaking.
Naturally, the demonic energy resisted even more.
‘Shut up and move as directed!’
Hyun-seok pushed the demonic energy even more forcefully.
Crackle!
Black lightning began occurring throughout Hyun-seok’s body.
‘Go!’
He extended his fist to guide the demonic energy.
The rampaging demonic energy seemed to find its path and stretched forward.

The extending black lightning collided with the rock.
BOOM!
The huge rock shook as if hit by an earthquake.
‘Did it fail…?’
As Hyun-seok looked at the rock with tired eyes,
Crack!
Fissures appeared across the entire rock.
“It worked.”
Hyun-seok grinned, and,
Then the rock exploded outward.
BOOM!
Rock fragments scattered through the air.
Getting hit by them, Hyun-seok collapsed sitting down.
“Hah… Somehow succeeded.”
Two times, no, three times stronger than before.
“But I don’t want to do this again…”
It felt like his whole body was being slashed by the rampaging demonic energy.
As Hyun-seok was breathing roughly,
The awaited notification came.
[You have created a new Fighting Technique]
[Hero Quest completed]
[Gained 1,000 Hero Points]
“Great!”
The notifications didn’t end there.

[A great achievement overcoming the hero’s limits and breaking existing frameworks!]
[Special reward will be given!]
[Ability score Strength increases]
[Ability score Agility increases]
…

“Huh…?”
Countless unexpected system notifications welcomed Hyun-seok.

“How is Hyun-seok these days?”
Hemis asked.
Reidrun thought for a moment before speaking.
“He’s dedicating himself to training every day.”
“What kind of training?”
“He’s trying to create a new Fighting Technique by fusing demonic energy and magical power.”
“Oho~”
Hemis smiled with interest.
“You’re doing something quite reckless. Do you think it’s possible? And within a month at that?”
“Hyun-seok has already made the impossible possible several times. So I’m willing to believe in him this time too.”
“Well, I’ll cheer you on.”
Hemis had no particular intention of interfering with Hyun-seok’s training.
Her goal was to enjoy the surprise later rather than getting involved in every little thing.
“By the way, about this Battalion Commander Tournament.”
“Yes.”
“It wouldn’t mean much if we just make them fight, would it?”
“You want to see their leadership abilities?”
Reidrun immediately understood what Hemis was trying to say.
“That’s it! Having empty-headed idiots around won’t change anything.”
“Hmm… Do you have a specific method in mind?”
“Here. Read this.”
Hemis tossed over a bundle of documents.
Reidrun received them and read through them carefully.
‘Ah, so this is what you’re thinking…’
Though the method was a bit extreme, it was quite a good plan.
With a little refinement, it could turn out well.
“Reidrun. I’d like you to polish this up a bit.”
“Understood.”
“Thanks. You really are irreplaceable.”
Hemis smiled slightly.
Even though it was just her huge lips smiling grotesquely.
Reidrun knew the true form hidden beneath.
“That’s all then.”
After their conversation,
Reidrun left Hemis’s office and headed straight for the training grounds.
It was almost time for Hyun-seok’s training.
‘Battalion Commander Tournament preparations. Hyun-seok’s training. It’s going to be busy for a while.’
Come to think of it, things had always been like this since Hyun-seok arrived.
The Demon King’s Army, which had been stagnant with neither progress nor regression,
This inflexible and old-fashioned group was gradually changing.
Whether that change was for better or worse was unclear, but at least Reidrun viewed it positively.
‘Hyun-seok needs to climb higher.’
Transfusing human blood into the Demon King’s Army.
A high-ranking commander of human origin.
Unlike demons, the flexible thinking of humans would breathe life into the Demon King’s Army.
“Oh? Already here.”
Lost in these thoughts, Reidrun had already arrived at the training grounds.
“Hyun-seok. You came early and were waiting.”
As usual, Hyun-seok had arrived early and was waiting at the training grounds.
“You don’t look well, did something happen?”
Hyun-seok’s skin was dark and there were shadows under his eyes.
He looked particularly unwell compared to usual.
“Ah, it’s nothing! Haha!”
“Is that so…”
“Yes. By the way, I’ve finally developed a new Fighting Technique!”
Reidrun was surprised by the sudden declaration.
“You’re saying you created a technique that fuses magical power and demonic energy!?”
“Hmm… Should I call it fusion…?”
Scratching his head, Hyun-seok continued.
“It might be faster if you see it directly.”
“That would be best. Use it on me right now.”
Hyun-seok was a bit taken aback by the request to use the technique on him.
“On you, Lord Reidrun?”
“Yes. Experiencing it directly would be the best way to understand the power of the new technique.”
“…”
“I won’t dodge, so go ahead and use it.”
After pondering for a moment, Hyun-seok nodded.
“Understood.”
Reidrun watched Hyun-seok with sharp eyes.
He wanted to understand what mechanism was combining the magical power and demonic energy.
‘He’s starting with just demonic energy first.’
Hyun-seok’s demonic energy rises.
‘Is he using my style?’
The fighting technique Reidrun created, Reidrun-style Fighting Technique.
The demonic energy was moving along the same path as its First Form.
A wrinkle appeared between Reidrun’s brows.
‘When is he planning to use the magical power?’
If he releases the technique like this, nothing will have changed from before.
While it’s praiseworthy that he can use with demonic energy what was previously only possible with magical power, that’s all there is to it.
If he can’t use both powers simultaneously, Hyun-seok is only using half of his maximum output.
‘Hm!?’
Suddenly, Reidrun’s eyes widened.
‘Rather than fusing with the demonic energy, he’s pushing it away?’
He could see it clearly.
The demonic energy, attacked by magical power, begins to run wild in Hyun-seok’s body.
Crackle!
The demonic energy burst forth sharply from Hyun-seok’s body.
It looked like black electricity flowing.
Modified Reidrun-style Fighting Technique
Finally, the technique activates and.
Reidrun drew up his demonic energy.
‘This is dangerous.’
Originally, he had planned to just take Hyun-seok’s technique.
But not this one.
His instincts warned him.
If he didn’t block this, something dangerous would happen.
‘Here it comes!’
A storm of mixed demonic energy and magical power flies in.
The demonic energy, which was already highly aggressive, becomes even more excited and uncontrollable.
Soon, Hyun-seok’s technique clashed with Reidrun.
“Ugh…”
Reidrun let out a small groan.
‘What a unique attack.’
The demonic energy, turned ferocious like a demonic beast, slashed all over his body.
Not only was it painful, but the power was also exceptional.
“Lord Reidrun, are you alright?”
Seeing Reidrun frowning, Hyun-seok asked.
“I’m fine.”
Reidrun released his demonic energy once more.
Whoosh!
The residual demonic energy and power from Hyun-seok’s attack dissipated in an instant.
The minor wounds began healing in real-time.
“Rather than fusing demonic energy and power, you made them clash instead. This isn’t a technique that can be used while sane.”
“…”
“It’s excellent.”
“Thank you…!”
Hyun-seok smiled brightly at Reidrun’s praise.
***
Lick!
“Hmm…?”
Hyun-seok opened his eyes with difficulty.
He could see Bobo licking his face.
Lick!
“Why am I here?”
This is Bobo’s house.
‘Wasn’t I just showing my new technique to Reidrun?’
As he was thinking this,
“You’ve done something strange again.”
A familiar voice came from beside him.
“Ms. Abelson?”
Abelson Mariette was looking at him.
“I’m sure I told you. To be careful because your demonic energy isn’t stable yet.”
“…”
“The demonic energy that had just calmed down is running wild again.”
It seemed he had lost consciousness again from forcing himself to use demonic energy.
“I’m sorry…”
Hyun-seok hung his head low.
He had no words to say in front of Abelson, even if he had ten mouths.
Then Abelson stood up from her seat.
“Fortunately, the critical moment has passed. But still, take it easy for a while.”
“Oh, are you leaving already?”
“Yes. It’s getting late.”
Hyun-seok got up, enduring the pain.
“Ms. Abelson! Let me treat you to a meal later.”
At the mention of food, hesitation momentarily crossed Abelson’s face.
‘Food… Delicious meat…’
Saliva unconsciously pooled in her mouth.
‘No…’
Although Hyun-seok’s cooking was delicious, he needed to rest now.
She shouldn’t let him move unnecessarily.
“It’s fine… Rest should be your priority right now.”
She said, squeezing her eyes shut.
“I’m already fine! Cooking for Ms. Abelson will actually give me energy!”
“No, no…!”
Abelson shouted and left.
“Huh…? Why is she acting like that?”
Hyun-seok stared at where Abelson had left with round eyes.
“Hero! Don’t mind her! There’s no need to cook for that sneaky fox!”
Rachel, standing on Bobo’s head, shouted.
“Why is Ms. Abelson a fox!?”
“Haven’t you read manga, Hero? Women who act all noble like that are always the villains!”
“Haa… Never mind.”
Hyun-seok shook his head.
Then his eyes caught an unfamiliar piece of paper.
“Hm? What’s this?”
“Ah! That bull-head left it behind.”
“Really?”
The paper Reidrun left behind.
Hyun-seok immediately checked its contents.
“Hmm… I can’t understand this.”
The characters were completely unreadable.
Hyun-seok still couldn’t read the writing here.
“I’ll read it for you.”
Perhaps in consideration, the paper was written in the continent’s common language, not demon language.
Rachel, who knew the continent’s common language, read the document aloud.
“Battalion Commander Tournament Events Decided!”
“What!? Tell me more!”
At last, the Battalion Commander Tournament was officially beginning.
