“Kuoooooh!” The monster cried out.
The creature looked very familiar, and it was the worst of eyesores. This was the emergence of the lomelon, a low-grade demonic creature.
[You have been exposed to the spirit of the low-grade demonic creature, the lomelon.]
[The influence of fighting energy has allowed you to ignore the spirit of the low-grade lomelon.]
“Um...” A groan flowed from Hyeonu’s mouth when he saw the lomelon. To be exact, they were lomelons. It wasn’t just one. This was why Hyeonu looked surprised.
[You have been exposed to the spirit of the low-grade demonic creature, the lomelon.]
[The influence of fighting energy has allowed you to ignore the spirit of the low-grade lomelon.]

More messages continued to appear. The number of lomelons that appeared in total was five.
‘Hasn’t this become slightly fun?’
Hyeonu’s expression quickly changed, and a smile appeared on his face. He always welcomed a rough greeting that would end with their death.
“Tang-E, buff me first and then support me with magic. Keep the lomelons in check using the small magic, not the big ones. Save your magic power.”
Hyeonu was thinking of fighting in close combat. It didn’t matter for Hyeonu, but Tang-E was restricted in this place to a certain extent. In situations where variables were unknown, it was best for Hyeonu—who was sure of his power—to fight at the front.
“I understand, Master dude. I will definitely help you.” Tang-E waved his paws at Hyeonu and backed away.
Hyeonu didn’t widen his distance with the lomelons. It was an approach he was familiar with using. Tang-E also knew this way of combat well, so much so that it was imprinted deep into his bones. Out of the many battles he had experienced with Hyeonu, more than half of them were like this.
Just then, the lomelons started to move. They seemed to be very familiar with group battles and moved like they were making a formation, instantly scattering and surrounding Hyeonu. Once Hyeonu’s movements were blocked off, a lomelon raised its fist to attack. The ground split open after being struck by the lomelon’s fist because Hyeonu was already gone from that spot.
‘Isn’t the effect of the fourth class advancement greater than expected?’
The all stats +200, the title effect of Preliminary Commander of the Knights of Keon, and the two newly acquired skills—these three things generated a tremendous synergy. Once he actually experienced it, he realized this was not the same.
‘I might’ve said there was nothing special in the video, but...’
The differences were very clear. He just didn’t feel it much because he didn’t get any immediately activated skills. Yet every time there was a battle, he felt the small changes. Such a change was better felt by Tang-E, who was watching Hyeonu fight from the sidelines rather than right by his side.
‘Master dude has become so strong.’
Hyeonu had been strong before, but he was stronger now. He had become stronger at a faster speed than that at which the level of the monsters he met rose.
‘In order to not become a burden... I should awaken quickly...’ Tang-E felt like his presence was a burden to Hyeonu, so he could only cast magic from behind.
For a moment, Hyeonu stopped in front of a lomelon. Seeing that, Tang-E mechanically threw a fireball, and it hit the lomelon’s face. The lomelon raised both arms and rubbed its face to get rid of the burning pain. It was impossible for Hyeonu to miss such a great opportunity. So he swung the Mysterious Sky Sword and slashed at the lomelon’s defenseless chest. The black-red pure energy pierced through the lomelon’s chest, leaving only blood behind in the spot where it passed through.
[The low-grade demonic creature, the lomelon, has been killed.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
“Tang-E, nice!” Hyeonu gave Tang-E a thumbs-up despite being busy. His praises caused Tang-E to twist his body and cover his cheeks with both paws.
‘Yes, this is enough,’ Tang-E thought.
After restoring his self-esteem, Tang-E pursued the lomelons more actively. He wanted to help Hyeonu a bit more.
***
Tang-E was sitting on Hyeonu’s shoulder. In this posture, he grabbed Hyeonu’s head by the temples and shook it.
“Master dude, how long are you going to walk? I’m bored, bored!”
Hyeonu was momentarily flustered by his suddenly shaking vision. Then he grabbed Tang-E’s paws with both hands.
“This is why I’m carrying you. As for your question, I don’t know. This is my first time coming here as well.”
Hyeonu was also frustrated. Since this was the demon world, he had been expecting to find something unique to this place, even if there weren’t great quests. However, there was nothing. It was just hunting.
‘What is different about this? It isn’t even comparable to the Balder Mountains.’
Hyeonu felt it wasn’t worth coming to the demon world merely for this. It was a pleasant hunting place, nothing more or nothing less.
‘My experience points are rising well, but...’
This wasn’t what Hyeonu wanted. After reaching level 300 and doing his fourth class advancement, experience didn’t really mean much to him. Of course, it was good to be ahead of other players, but he was already too far ahead. Taking one step further wouldn’t change much. To get ahead, he needed quests with big rewards.
‘It would be nice if it were an item or skill.’
In fact, anything but experience would be good. It would be even better if Tang-E’s essence came out.
