“I can’t take everything, I’ll just pack a few things.”

Travel preparations are in full swing.

Due to suddenly having to leave the Black Giant Star, everything was chaotic.

The items obtained from the heroes haven’t been organized yet.

With limited time, the plan was to roughly pack accessories.

“This is too bulky… How about this? Seems good. It increases strength by 3.”

Choi Hyun-seok lifted a gold necklace from the pile of items.

Rachel, who was next to him, shook her head.

“The gold necklace won’t do.”

“Why?”

“Hero, have you ever heard of the term ‘pork soup stock thug’?”

“What nonsense is that all of a sudden?”

“Never mind if you don’t know. Anyway, absolutely don’t wear the gold necklace. You’ll look too intimidating.”

Rachel stared at Choi Hyun-seok intently.

Choi Hyun-seok is tall and quite bulky.

His impression isn’t particularly gentle either.

To be precise, he could be described as looking rather fierce.

If someone like Choi Hyun-seok wore a gold necklace, he would remind people of a certain type of person.

‘Hmm, if he had tattoos too, it would be perfect.’

While Rachel was having these trivial thoughts, Choi Hyun-seok was still busy examining items.

He shouted while rummaging through the items.

“Hey. Don’t just look, help out.”

“Okay!”

Rachel dove into the pile of items.

She checked various accessories while looking for things that would suit Choi Hyun-seok.

“Hmm, this looks good, doesn’t it?”

“Ooh, it increases magic power by 5!”

“This looks good too!”

“Look at this ring. It says it lets you use skills?”

“Hero, Hero! This bracelet is so pretty!”

After shopping enthusiastically through the heroes’ belongings.

Choi Hyun-seok, wearing all the equipment, hurriedly left the tent.

“Let’s hurry! Who knows what the lip monster will do if we’re late.”

“Yes!”

They lost track of time while looking at items.

Choi Hyun-seok rushed to avoid being late.

“Phew…”

Shortly after, in front of Hemis’s office.

Choi Hyun-seok took a light breath to calm his racing heart from running.

Just then, Roiger arrived, walking from the opposite corridor.

“Hello!”

Choi Hyun-seok greeted energetically.

Approaching Roiger tilted his head.

His eyes narrowed as he looked at Choi Hyun-seok.

“What kind of appearance is that?”

“Pardon?”

“No. Never mind…”

Roiger, who was about to say something, sighed and shook his head.

While Choi Hyun-seok was puzzled, at that moment.

Abelson’s voice was heard from behind.

“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok.”

Choi Hyun-seok turned around with a glad expression.

“Did you finish preparing well?”

“Eek…!”

Abelson was startled upon seeing Choi Hyun-seok’s face.

This made Choi Hyun-seok startled too, and he looked around.

“What’s wrong!? Is it an enemy!?”

“Ah, it’s nothing…”

Abelson hung her head low.

Her cheeks were red and her shoulders were trembling, somehow looking like she was trying to hold something back.

Roiger, who was watching them, heaved a deep sigh.

“Let’s go in. The Commander is waiting.”

“Hmm? Alright.”

Thinking that Abelson and Roiger were somehow strange, he knocked on Hemis’s office door.

***

Hemis was sitting seductively on the table as usual.

Seeing Choi Hyun-seok and Roiger enter, Hemis smirked.

“Choi Hyun-seok. What kind of appearance is that?”

“Pardon?”

“If you were trying to be funny, you succeeded. You look just like a circus clown. Ohohoho!”

Hemis laughed in a high pitch while covering her mouth.

Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t understand.

‘Why is everyone acting like this?’

They keep asking what kind of appearance this is.

All he did was put on some accessories.

They were all valuable items that increased stats or granted skills or abilities.

“Have you looked in a mirror?”

“… I haven’t yet since I was in a hurry.”

“There. Go check.”

Hemis pointed to a corner of the office.

There was a full-length mirror there.

Choi Hyun-seok approached the mirror with a tilted head.

‘What could be so wrong?’

Finally standing in front of the mirror.

Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth fell open.

‘Ah… This is serious…’

In the mirror stood a bizarre man that was hard to describe in words.

A 198cm muscular frame wearing over 10 colorful rings, with several dazzling bracelets layered on top of each other.

Both ears were a sight to behold.

Mismatched earrings showed off their presence.

Strange piercings were attached all over his face.

And he even had a crown on his head.

‘Wait, when did I put on the crown?’

He hadn’t noticed at all because he put everything on in such a hurry.

It seemed Rachel had secretly put it on him.

Surprisingly, it was so comfortable that he thought it was just a hat.

“Your greed is too much. No matter how many such items you wear, your fundamentals won’t change.”

“Yes…”

“And even if you wear all those dangling things, they’ll break or fall off during battle, right? Choi Hyun-seok, you enjoy combat after all.”

That was unexpected.

He vaguely thought that becoming stronger by wearing them would be enough.

Thinking about it, they could easily break or fall off during battle.

“And be careful when wearing equipment that increases physical abilities. There can be side effects. Especially wearing multiple layers is very dangerous.”

“Ah… Is that so?”

“Yes. In the end, it’s worse than not wearing anything.”

Choi Hyun-seok’s face fell.

He started removing the accessories one by one.

After taking off everything he had worn, there was a pile of accessories.

‘Tch… I wasted my effort.’

Choi Hyun-seok smiled bitterly.

Hemis approached and picked up one ring.

“Oh? This one looks good.”

Hemis examined the ring, turning it this way and that.

Watching her, Choi Hyun-seok thought.

‘What was that one again… It was definitely related to magic power.’

He remembered it was probably a ring that increased magic power usage efficiency.

He had worn it thinking it would be useful even without knowing its exact effects.

“If you do this to it.”

Hemis, while examining the ring, injected demonic energy.

Black electricity started flowing from the ring.

Crackle!

The originally white ring gradually turned black.

Finally, she returned the completely blackened ring to Choi Hyun-seok.

“Here, check it out.”

Choi Hyun-seok received the ring and checked its detailed description.

□ Unsealed Ring of Liese

Description: Legacy of the Great Mage Liese. A ring particularly cherished by Liese, showing excellent effectiveness in handling magic power. Its original abilities have emerged as the seal was broken.

Ability: Magic control ability increased by 25%, Magic usage efficiency increased by 25%.

Required Hero Points: –

Choi Hyun-seok’s mouth gaped open at the explanation.

‘What’s going on…?’

The ability’s effect had increased tremendously.

He remembers it was probably 5% when he checked before.

Even that felt like a blessing, but now it had increased by as much as 25%.

It would clearly be a big help.

“That ring. It’s called Liese’s Ring, right?”

“Yes. How did you know?”

He was surprised when Hemis recognized the ring.

Could she also see item names through the system?

The answer that came was unexpected.

“Was it about 200 years ago? There was this guy who bragged about being an archmage. I remember him because his magic power was quite unique.”

“Perhaps that mage…?”

Instead of answering, Hemis pointed to the inside of her mouth with her finger.

“He was quite tasty.”

“I see. As expected of the Corps Commander. Haha…!”

Choi Hyun-seok laughed while breaking out in a cold sweat.

‘I won’t end up like that, right?’

100 years. Or would Hemis say something like this after 200 years?

-There used to be this unique hero called Choi Hyun-seok, he was quite a delicacy! Ohohoho!

Choi Hyun-seok shook his head as he imagined it.

‘That absolutely cannot happen!’

He would rather die than be remembered as Hemis’s delicacy.

“Anyway, I called you to see your faces before leaving. I have to go to a Corps Commander meeting now.”

“Yes.”

“So, are you ready?”

“Pardon?”

Choi Hyun-seok blinked.

Suddenly asking if he’s ready?

“Corps Commander. What preparations are you referring to…?”

“Preparations to go to the 2nd Corps. Not ready yet?”

“Ah! Of course I’m ready! Haha!”

“Good. Then take care.”

Hemis snapped her fingers with a click!

At the same time, Choi Hyun-seok’s vision inverted.

Whoosh-!

When he carefully opened his eyes, what he saw was an unfamiliar forest.

Choi Hyun-seok looked around with a bewildered face.

“Where is this?”

“Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be near the Black Giant Star.”

Roiger also had an expression of not knowing what was going on.

He took out a map artifact from his chest and studied it for a long time.

After a while.

Roiger raised his head as if he had figured out the situation.

“Choi Hyun-seok. I know where this is.”

“Where is it?”

“It’s a forest about 100km away from the Black Giant Star.”

“What…?”

They had flown too far from just a finger snap.

***

The Demon King’s Castle Central Conference Hall.

The vast conference hall was desolate.

Only five were in attendance.

The Demon King and four Corps Commanders.

“Rotark is absent today as well.”

Originally, there were five Corps Commanders in the Demon King’s Army.

The reason there were only four was because Rotark, the 2nd Corps Commander, did not attend.

Today’s meeting was not a regular but a temporary meeting.

Therefore, attendance wasn’t mandatory.

The problem was that Rotark had rarely attended any temporary meetings until now.

Even if it wasn’t mandatory, his behavior had crossed the line.

This was especially true considering the weight of today’s agenda.

The Corps Commanders each made comments while looking at Rotark’s empty seat.

“It’s always been like this. Rotark has never attended temporary meetings.”

5th Corps Commander Ozges said.

“I understand temporary meetings aren’t mandatory, but it’s quite impudent.”

These were the words of 1st Corps Commander Dorithugs.

“That idiot would only talk nonsense anyway, so what’s the point? Let’s just get on with it.”

4th Corps Commander Park Hyun-a followed.

“Hmmmm~”

For some reason, 3rd Corps Commander Hemis didn’t say anything and just hummed.

“Haah…”

Demon King Tegrad pressed his temples with a sigh.

Though he had seen this dozens or hundreds of times, the headache was unavoidable every time.

Tegrad shook his head and opened his eyes.

“I will begin the meeting.”

All the Corps Commanders closed their mouths at the Demon King Tegrad’s words.

Four pairs of eyes focused on him.

No, three pairs of eyes and one giant set of lips.

Meeting them, Tegrad opened his mouth.

“As you all know, today’s agenda concerns 3rd Corps Commander Hemis.”

There was no particular reaction as everyone already knew the content.

Tegrad continued.

“Hemis held a large-scale event that wasn’t in the regulations. As a result, there were numerous casualties. Each one of them could have become battalion commanders in the future, outstanding talents.”

Battalion commanders are high-ranking officers.

There aren’t even 10,000 people in the entire Demon King’s Army who have the military power of a battalion commander.

It might seem like a lot, but it’s less than 5% of the total ratio.

They are extremely valuable resources.

“Critically, multiple deaths occurred because she failed to prevent a human attack. Ozges. What’s the total scale of damage?”

At Tegrad’s question, 5th Corps Commander Ozges held up documents.

“Here’s the total damage tally from the tournament and human attack. Ninety-seven dead, one hundred fifty-five severely injured. Minor injuries are too numerous to count.”

After Ozges’s brief report.

Tegrad continued speaking.

“Additionally, Hemis attacked 4th Corps Commander Park Hyun-a. She violated the regulation stating that battles between Corps Commanders must receive permission. Personally, I consider this a very serious matter.”

The Demon King had emphasized this before.

Fights between Corps Commanders must never occur without permission.

Except for the Commander Selection Battle presided over by the Demon King himself, Corps Commanders must never clash under any circumstances.

Hemis had broken that rule.

“Therefore, the agenda for this temporary meeting is what punishment should be given to 3rd Corps Commander Hemis. Those with opinions may speak freely.”

As soon as the Demon King finished speaking, someone raised their hand.

Long, pure white fingers stretched toward the sky.

The Demon King’s eyebrows twitched at the sight.

It was because the one who raised their hand was Hemis herself.

“Speak, Hemis.”

When permission was granted, Hemis’s mouth corners rose into a grin.

“My Lord. This meeting is fundamentally wrong. Isn’t the reason for the Demon King’s Army’s existence to trample humans?”

“What are you trying to say?”

“I mean we should identify the traitor first. This incident occurred because someone colluded with humans and leaked information. Isn’t my attack on Corps Commander Park Hyun-a also due to mistaking her for being the traitor?”

A cold silence fell at Hemis’s words.

No one here was unaware that the Demon King had made a secret agreement with humans.

In other words, Hemis had essentially called the Demon King a traitor and suggested that he should be punished as the culprit of this incident.

“That’s interesting.”

Demon King Tegrad smirked.

At the same time, immeasurable demonic energy flowed from him.

Rumble…!

The atmosphere vibrated from the demonic energy.

Unable to withstand the vibrations, cracks began appearing throughout the building.

“Hemis. Answer me. Are you challenging me now?”

“Oh my, My Lord. I apologize. Please calm your anger.”

Hemis apologized while clasping her hands together.

But her mouth was still smiling.

No, now her mouth corners had risen to a grotesque level beyond just smiling.

“I merely suggested finding the traitor. I don’t understand why you’re getting angry like a thief whose feet are hurting. Ohohohoho!”

The more Hemis’s laughter grew, the more the Demon King’s face hardened.

“That’s enough.”

“Why? Don’t you want to find the traitor?”

“You dare to…!”

Finally, the Demon King who couldn’t stand it anymore rose from his seat and.

Rumble…

The center of the Demon King’s castle began to collapse.
