“Five.”
King Ahmed fought better than I thought.
Especially considering that the opponent is a monster on the verge of a fight. If you close your eyes moderately and enjoy the things you will enjoy, you will enjoy the wealth and glory, but you are working hard for your own development.
Did you say this is a noblesse oblige? I prefer acknowledging reality and asserting my beliefs rather than shivering with hypocrisy.
The fact that you raised Dahyun Jung, who died at my hands in my last life, has such a meaning.
Anyway.
King Ahmed, who calls himself a close friend of mine, will also be useful in many ways.
[I don’t think he did his best?]
However, Yong-yong dismissed Ahmed as being lucky, not because of his outstanding skills.
The demons didn’t do their best from the beginning. But that’s not unusual, considering that he reigned like a king in the desert and did everything he wanted to.
[Are you doing this because you don’t know, or are you joking knowingly?]
What are you talking about?
When I showed my doubts at Yong-yong’s words, which I couldn’t understand, I finally screamed.
[It’s because of you, you!]
me? Why all of a sudden?
[He looked at you and said he didn’t treat you properly because he was paying attention to you!]
Are you saying that the devil cares so much about the surroundings? I didn’t know that.
I was quite surprised because the guy I thought was a plus stage was on the verge of a fight. I thought he was trying to play tricks instead of saving himself, but I didn’t know it would be like that.
[Not like you.]
not like me It’s overly self-conscious to think that I didn’t do my best to take care of me.
Because it’s me, I’m not here to deal with this.
Anyway, this is pretty inconvenient.
I followed a guy called the Desert Nightmare and dug into the depths of the earth. He surrounded his whole body with a thin force and was protecting it from sand, but the speed of his movement was not normal.
It’s not because of the speed that I find weird.
It’s because of the act of trying to get away from me even when you see me.
Usually, when they see me, they try to deal with me somehow, but this guy is different.
Why?
After contemplating for a while, an assumption stopped and passed through my mind.
Then Yong-yong said to me.
[Shall we use space movement?]
No, let’s just figure out the location and leave it as it is.
[why?]
There must be a reason why he moves like he’s running away. It may be because of the family left in the desert, or it may be because of the hidden treasure. And it’s on the verge of a fight, so maybe that’s why he’s trying to fight me.
If you were conscious of me, you might think that now is not the time.
[Uh, then… … ?]
Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter. I think it would be better if I let him think that he has shaken me off and then attack the scene.
[Wow, you thought about that in the meantime?]

My main skill is to infer and see through the opponent’s weaknesses. If you can easily get rid of your opponent, this much effort is of course worthwhile.
[…] You know I’m getting scared of you?]
it’s scary When I was a friend, there was someone as kind as me.
[…] … .]
Silent Yong-yong, I also realized my mistake.
Well, as I said, I don’t think it’s kind. I must have lied.
[Please don’t cross the line!]
Alright, let’s chase him.
* * *
Everything went smoothly.
Born in a vast desert and fighting for survival, Sandworm was able to reach the apex by repeatedly fighting battles in a harsh desert environment.
Countless rivals entered their stomachs as food, and all creatures that could be a competitor and could pose a threat were annihilated.
In this desert, the sandworm was the king without being harsh. The never-drying prey of humans existed for the sandworms that took over the entire desert, and they grew their strength by eating monsters that appeared occasionally.
The monsters coming from outside could not compete. They were all losers, and those guys were just fine prey.
Then, at some point, Sandworm realized that it was blocked by a wall. It took a lot of preparation and effort to overcome that wall. But after this stage, I felt that I could be perfect.
From then on, Sandworm started preparing step by step. At the same time, he was torn between a reality in which there was no existence that could threaten him and an utopia that could be perfected.
The desert was his home, manor, hunting ground, and food warehouse.
If only that person hadn’t appeared.
Grrr!
The sudden appearance of a human was an unexpected disaster.
The man had the power to kill himself, and was aimed precisely at him from start to finish. If done wrong, it can be destroyed.
It was then that the forgotten survival instinct and longing for power were awakened.
Sandworm ran away without thinking. There was a certainty that no matter how fast humans were, they couldn’t chase them.
And he was planning to evolve into a perfect being by absorbing the things he had prepared in the ground.
If he became a whole, he would be able to kill that human and eliminate anyone who came.
The place where Sandworm finally arrived was a hiding place located in the very center of the desert. This space, which has existed underground since the Sandworm was born, has been serving as a hiding place and storage space.
There were countless loot.
Starting with the previous owner of the desert, who was once stronger than himself, the rival who fought for the pinnacle, the local strong who ruled the largest area, etc., countless monsters disappeared as food for the sandworms, but they remained as materials for becoming a whole.
Grrr!
Upon arriving at the hideout, Sandworm looked around once.
If you take these things, you will become a whole. And it will eat anything that stands in your way.
It was time for Sandworm to step forward.
“Five! Have you collected quite a few?”
It was the human who thought he had been completely excluded from the appearance with bright admiration.
* * *
Also, it was as expected.
It was one of the hypotheses, but the prediction that I had weighed in my heart was correct.
And it was the most beneficial direction for me.

Monsters have basically developed attack and survival instincts. Most of them have more developed attacking instincts, but those who came up from the bottom have developed survival instincts as well.
Dogs are such a case.
It is said that I walked like my house while having a nightmare in the desert and everything, but if you look at what I raked through the back hole, you can tell that I was hit here and there before I could go out.
From by-products of various monsters to old relics of unknown age.
While I was king here, I picked up a lot of this and that.
[But why do you like it?]
Yong-yong asks about it without notice.
Well, now that the owner is gone, all the things you have gathered here are going to be given to me, right?
[Oh, was that so? When the owner disappears, it becomes yours!]
If you acquire it while the owner is gone, it will be mine. In particular, the hearts of some monsters that were rolling around were unusual at first glance.
I’ll leave you with luxury once in a while.
Grrrrr!
The guy exploded his life when he looked at me. Like the guy who dominated the desert, his body length exceeded 20m, and the momentum he radiated was stronger than any other plus-level monsters.
Even a dog can’t deal with it. I thought the dog still has a long way to go.
When I get back, I’ll have to train them more harshly so that they can deal with monsters other than the two horns on their own.
[So what are you going to do?]
huh? What are you talking about, Yong-yong?
[Are you going to catch it like this?]
I still didn’t know what Yong-yong meant.
With my puzzled expression on my face, Yongyong talked about what he was thinking.
[Ah, I thought if it was you, I would evolve to a two-horned stage and try to fight one more time.]
“Ahh.”
It was then that Yong-yong understood what he was saying.
Obviously, in order to properly utilize my real-world experience, I have to be at least as good as I can be.
Come to think of it, I wonder what would happen if we let this guy grow.
Of course, that’s just a thought. When you turn your imagination into reality, you start having problems.
“But you don’t know much about me, do you? Are you a friend?”
[Don’t you know? I’m saying this because I know you well!]
“It’s true you don’t know.”
If you know me well, do you think you’ll let the monsters grow in this situation?
Of course not.
“There is a best time to deal with anything.”
The first is when you are distracted, the second is when you are confused, and the last is when you are excited.
Now that monster was excited at the thought of becoming a two-horned monster, but it was thrown into a gutter because of me. I am mentally confused in a state of being trampled on by hope, so it is the perfect time to finish it.
But is there room for growth here?
“It’s something only stupid people do to give up to see the other person’s skills.”
[You are like that sometimes.]
“So did I lose?”
[…] … .]
I’m muttering about not being able to respond.
I glanced at Yong-yong and looked at the nightmare of the desert. It’s time to end the nightmare.
“What a nightmare, it’s just a bug.”
* * *
Junho Choi disappeared with a nightmare in the desert. It was a brief moment, but I thought that it was a dream to have fought fiercely until then.
Ahmed stared blankly at the desert. As the hours passed, the dark desert radiated a chill that would freeze everything, as if ridiculing the heat of the day.
How many people were helpless in front of the great nature. I didn’t think it could go against it or go beyond it.
Who is Choi Jun-ho? Is it possible to go beyond that nature?
“Nashir.”
“Yes, my Majesty the King.”
“Do you think my friend will come back safely?”
“I will come back safely.”
“Even though I saw you go into the middle of the desert?”
“Yes. Otherwise, he is not a superman who is said to be the strongest in the world. A head breaker is the most reliable way to break an enemy’s head at any moment.”
Ahmed grinned at Nasir’s confident words. It was the same opinion he had written in the report he had been investigating.
Choi Jun-ho solved the things he had thought impossible until now. The youngest superman, plus level monster hunting alone, up to plus plus level monster hunting.
It was also the Choi Jun-ho effect that brought the league’s momentum, which was going to engulf the world right away, to a halt.
“I think the same. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t feel like I’m being beaten. Isn’t that funny? In this desert, this guy is called a god. I thought that I would be safe while dealing with such a god.”
“He is such a strong man, yes. He is also a close friend of the King’s Highness. There is no way an ordinary person can be a close friend of His Majesty the King.”
“It’s good to hear even empty words. Although the opponent is still unfamiliar with the word “friend”. It will be something we have to overcome.”
Ahmed turned his gaze back to the desert.
“The strength I experienced in a week was not human. No matter how strong an opponent was, he felt pity for those who would face him. Even the nightmare of the desert.”
“that… … .”
Still, it was an opponent who had driven the Arabian Peninsula in fear for decades. Is it enough to make that monster feel pity for you to face the Head Breaker? Nasir thought that the evaluation of Choi Jun-ho was excessive.
But it was the master’s evaluation, not anyone else’s. There was a belief that Junho Choi’s inhuman strength would be enough to hunt even nightmares in the desert.
That was then.
“That… … .”
A light flashed before them. And what appeared was Choi Jun-ho’s attire the same as when he came out as if he had gone for a walk.
Koo!
It was the corpse of a giant monster over 20 meters tall. Ahmed’s Nasir’s eyes trembled uncontrollably when he saw it.
I was afraid of calling it a nightmare, and I couldn’t take a good look at it, but I can’t forget what Jun-ho Choi pursued and what I saw at first glance.
That is undoubtedly a desert nightmare. A monster that has frightened the entire Arabian Peninsula for decades.
“My friend, this is… … .”
“This is the guy who impersonated God here.”
Choi Jun-ho, who tapped the body as if it was nothing special, smiled.
Ahmed’s gaze was fixed on the desert nightmare corpse. Even though he was dead, the tremors that wrapped around his body did not go away easily.
“It’s a gift for a friend.”
“gift… … ?”
“They say this is friend-bi in Korean.”
“Friendly.”
What a great gift for a close friend. Ahmed, who thought of Korea as a small but strong regional power, discovered that there was a wonderful culture beyond his imagination.
“Thank you, thank you for your friend’s friend fee.”
“I want you to be satisfied.”
“Now.”
Ahmed looked at Choi Jun-ho and smiled.
“I have to pay my friend. It’s good to look forward to it, my friend.”
It was the moment when the problem that had driven the Arabian Peninsula to hell for more than a decade was resolved.
