Ergal’s city mostly had the lowest-grade and low-grade demonic creatures. Meanwhile, the low-grade demonic creatures were the minimum level in the red desert. Intermediate demonic creatures were also everywhere. From time to time, even advanced demonic creatures showed their appearance.
“Tang-E, ice!” Hyeonu urgently called out to Tang-E. He asked Tang-E for ice magic as it would have an immediate effect on the scorpion in front of them.
“Understood, Master dude,” Tang-E answered while creating more than 10 ice spears. The ice spears were over 5 meters long, but the dark red scorpion was so big that Tang-E’s ice spears looked like small sticks. Tang-E fired the ice spears like bullets. Flying quickly, the dark blue spears pierced the tail of the dark red scorpion. The hard shell broke, and black venom flowed out. As the black liquid fell onto the sand, the sand started to melt straight away. The venom was extremely potent.
‘I just need to hold on for 10 seconds.’ Hyeonu observed the figure and nodded. This venom was the dark red scorpion’s best weapon. It was like a sword in the hand of a normal player. There was nothing to fear as long as the most powerful weapon was gone.
‘The pincers aren’t scary at all.’
The scorpion had huge pincers, but these didn’t post a threat. A lot of preparation was needed to stretch them out.
...Just like right now. The scorpion was full of anger from Tang-E’s magic attack and moved its huge body. The joints attached to the scorpion’s large pinchers leaned back. Simultaneously, its entire body curled up slightly. The contracted body relaxed and shot forward explosively, with the pincers on both sides swaying roughly. It occurred with great momentum like it would soon cut Hyeonu’s and Tang-E’s bodies.
Just then, Hyeonu moved like a ghost, disappearing in an instant. The scorpion’s pincers struck, but there were sparks instead of splattering drops of blood. The pincers only hit empty air as Hyeonu had long since left this spot. While snapping its pincers, the scorpion looked around. Both its eyes were looking for Hyeonu.
Just then, a light flashed in the dark blue sky, and a huge lightning bolt struck the scorpion from above. It was Tang-E’s Lightning. The lightning bolt burned the scorpion’s wounds caused by the earlier attack from Tang-E’s ice spears. The part of the scorpion’s body that was covered by the shell was fine, but its broken tail couldn’t withstand the lightning. The scorpion momentarily flinched from the nerve-scratching pain.
[The intermediate demonic creature, the venomous scorpion, has been defeated.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
Hyeonu and Tang-E gathered at the spot from which the scorpion disappeared.
“It was good this time. Aren’t you getting sharper? You are a real magician now,”
Hyeonu commented as he watched a playback of the battle against the scorpion. Tang-E’s magic was amazing. It had given Hyeonu the right timing to attack. However, it wasn’t just that. The power of the magic itself was overwhelming. If the magic of the past was a jab, now it was a heavy straight blow.
‘If he reaches level 300 and awakens once more, his magic will become a knife.’
Tang-E had a very bright future ahead of him. Thus, Hyeonu was looking forward to the third awakening even more.
‘Should I check the level for the first time in ages?’
It was only then that Hyeonu remembered Tang-E’s status window. He hadn’t thought about it at all whenever he looked at Tang-E. The status window...
‘Tang-E’s status window.’
Now that Hyeonu finally remembered it, he decided to check Tang-E’s status window. It seemed like he wouldn’t remember if he delayed it till next time.

Tang-E’s status window was gorgeous. His pure stats without any corrections were overwhelmingly higher than Hyeonu’s pure stats.
‘Due to this, the effect of the buffs and Giant Transformation is huge.’
They were high enough for anyone to be envious. Even so, Hyeonu’s gaze didn’t stay on the stats for long. It moved toward the level. This was why Hyeonu opened the status window.
‘Level 297?’
It was high. There wasn’t much left; level 300 was right around the corner.
‘The third awakening will be in the demon world.’
Hyeonu closed Tang-E’s status window. There was no time to waste looking at this. He had to raise Tang-E’s level as quickly as possible. To do that, hunting was more important than anything else.
‘My quests... I can postpone it a bit.’
For Tang-E’s growth, it was okay to put Hyeonu’s quests second. Tang-E was one of the most important things to Hyeonu.
“Tang-E, let’s go hunting.”
