It had taken a long time for him to eat his fill. During the period of time when he wasn’t called by Hyeonu, Tang-E had to eat the food that his mother, Manong, cooked. It happened just as he finished all the food stored in his space. The overlapping of events was a ridiculous coincidence. It might be different if he hadn’t tasted honey-like food before, but he had tasted it countless times. That period of time without Hyeonu was literally a time of bone-cutting pain for Tang-E. Now that Hyeonu had picked out all the meats Tang-E liked, Tang-E was naturally unable to restrain himself and had to eat, since he was in such a sad state just before.
Hyeonu touched Tang-E’s head and asked, “How about this meat?”
Then he picked up some meat that Tang-E hadn’t eaten. It was due to having heard that Tang-E’s subspace was empty.
“I will take it all, Master dude.” Tang-E nodded. His subspace was now once again filled with the meat Hyeonu gave to him. Tang-E’s happiness index was rising.
“Yes, then what about the other thing? Is it okay?”
“Um... It’s a complicated situation, Master dude.”
“Complicated situation? Is there a problem?” Hyeonu turned his head with a surprised expression, worrying that something had gone wrong with the third awakening.
“The third awakening of our clan is quite important. It is said that the awakening results are different depending on the ambient magic power. This is why I’m very worried. If I get the third awakening here...” Tang-E’s expression became serious. Based on his expression, he seemed quite worried.
“Really? So it’s like this...” Hyeonu patted Tang-E’s head lightly.
‘This worry...’
If Tang-E had the third awakening in the demon world, something unexpected might happen. Tang-E’s main power was his magic with various attributes. Lightning, fire, and ice—these three attributes were the main focus.
‘No, doesn’t he have the corruption attribute now?’
Tang-E already had the attribute called corruption, although it was an attribute obtained from an item. The corruption attribute was used by mixing it with other attribute magic.
‘It isn’t strictly elemental... There is no corruption magic.’
The lightning attribute had lightning magic, the fire attribute had fire magic, and the light attribute had light magic. However, corruption had no attribute magic. It could be called an attribute of a different type.
‘It would be the best if the dark attribute were applied like mine...’
If the dark attribute became a substitute for corruption during the third awakening, it would become the same situation as Hyeonu’s where the dark attribute combined with other attributes.
‘If Hugo and Manong allow it...’
“Tang-E, listen to me,” Hyeonu began. He organized his thoughts and conveyed them to Tang-E: “If you have your third awakening in the demon world, your magic will be based on the dark attribute like mine. It won’t be much different from how it is now. Currently, your lightning is blue instead of yellow. It will just become a bit darker.”
This time, Tang-E was the one who started thinking. His two mischievous eyes became like a deep lake. This was a serious look, which was a rare appearance for him.
‘Master dude is strong, but...’ Tang-E’s troubles didn’t last long. Honestly, there was no problem if he got the dark attribute. There were various attributes amongst those in his clan after all. Hugo’s reason for not being able to go against Manong was partly related to his attribute.
‘Yes, Master dude is fine. I won’t have a problem.’
Tang-E secretly evaluated himself as being stronger than Hyeonu. Hyeonu’s current strength was high, but Tang-E thought his innate strength was more powerful.
“Good, I will awaken here. However, based on what I feel, I think it is quite far away from awakening. Is that okay?” Tang-E asked. He had decided to get the dark attribute like Hyeonu had done.
Hyeonu replied, “It’s fine. When did I say that it wasn’t?”
Tang-E pounded Hyeonu on the shoulder.
***
In Hyeonu’s mind, Garcia had long since disappeared. It was only filled with Tang-E. To be exact, it was with his third awakening. That was all Hyeonu was focused on.
“Tang-E, release more magic power. Let it fly!”
Hyeonu stood still in the back and only moved his mouth. He didn’t participate in the battle. The one fighting was Tang-E.
“Damn Master!!! You are just talking!” Tang-E moved without pausing while avoiding the attacks from the demonic creatures. He used magic every time the cooldown ended. As fire and lightning danced, the demonic creatures fell.
“I’m being supportive right now! How else can you reach the third awakening?!” Hyeonu just responded to the intense criticism with a dissatisfied expression. This time, Tang-E couldn’t refute it. It wasn’t because Hyeonu was right but because Tang-E was busy avoiding the attacks of the demonic creatures.
‘Damn Master, you are really only using your mouth.’
If Tang-E had known this, it would’ve been better for him to say he knew when he would have the third awakening. However, his thoughts didn’t last long. The battle with the demonic creatures was becoming increasingly fierce, and there was no room for him to think. A giant elephant-like demonic creature trampled past where Tang-E had just been. Tang-E barely escaped. If he had been a bit late, he would’ve been turned into gum stuck on the ground under the thick soles of that demonic creature.
