Chapter 430: Onward, To The United States! (5)

Han-Yeol was not someone who would bat an eye at something like this.

Hoho~

It sounds like fun things will be happening from now on, Tia said with a smile.

Really? It sounds fun? Han-Yeol asked.

Yeah, I was starting to get bored these days. Hunting is nice and all, but its starting to feel repetitive and tedious. I thought about going to the Bastro Dimension and hunting those hyenas, but those arrogant animals went ahead and allied themselves with the humans. Anyway, this seems like a fun situation!

Hoho!

Hey, Tia Cant you tell the mood? How can you be smiling right now?

The mood was definitely very gloomy.

Sniff Sniff

Mom

The flight crew consisted of a bunch of ordinary civilians who had not received any survival training. They were not like Han-Yeol who had no problem surviving anywhere and everywhere.

Most people working in the airline industry received training on what to do during emergencies, but those were just basic training and not in-depth specialized training.

Tia licked her lips out of excitement.

Slurp~

Its fine as long as Im having fun, right, master?

Tsk,

I guess youre not wrong, but still

Hohoho!

What if we investigate this island, Han-Yeol-nim? Stewart asked.

The demon was tired of listening to the senseless chatter of the two, and he knew from experience that these two could go on and on forever unless someone cut them off.

Ah, youre right. We should do that first. But first, we need to gather some necessary supplies. Hmm. I think we cant depend on them, so Ill need your help on that, Stewart.

Sigh

Alright, Stewart replied reluctantly. Then, he raised both hands and used a summoning skill.

Arise! Shurarmors!

Shwaaaa!

A bunch of armor demons emerged from the ground. These demons, called Shurarmors, were the lowest-ranking demons under Stewarts command, and they acted like his infantry soldiers.

He summoned these demons and gave them a simple task: Go inside that metal tube and take out everything useful.

The Shurarmors nodded in unison. These demons did not receive verbal commands. Instead, they read their summoners minds, so Stewart did not have to give them exact commandsthey inherently understood what he wanted.

Shwaa

Thirty-five Shurarmors were summoned in total, and all thirty-five of them moved to carry out the command. They were able to remove everything useful from the wreckage in just fifteen minutes.

It seems they are done, Han-Yeol-nim.

As expected of you demons! They might be ranked the lowest in the demon world, but theyre way better than humans!

Ahem

It was nothing, Stewart replied with a cough. He might seem calm and composed most of the time, but he was very vulnerable to being praised.

Lets see Theres nothing that useful Han-Yeol muttered while going through the things.

The private jet was equipped with things for Han-Yeols comfort rather than survival, so aside from the food onboard, nothing would boost their survival chances.

He continued to rummage through the pile of things before he suddenly lifted something above his head and exclaimed, Oh! Theres something!

What is that? Oh, I doubt that is going to be of any help, and nobody is going to use that, Stewart said after recognizing the object in Han-Yeols hands.

The object he was holding was none other than the newly-developed mana rifles.

However, not a single one of the Gurkha raid party members was on board the private jet. There should have been around twenty of them accompanying him, but they were all out training when Han-Yeol abruptly decided to fly out.

Of course, they would have dropped everything and come running if Han-Yeol called them, but he decided not to bother them as he was going to the United States for leisure. Due to that, there were thirty mana rifles in the cargo, but nobody was able to use them.

Why not? Han-Yeol smirked, then pointed at the two stewards huddled up together with the others.

Are you thinking of them?

They have to do their fair share, no?

Heh.

Han-Yeol looked like the devil himself for some reason.

I think... you are the demon and not me, Han-Yeol-nim.

Hehehe!

I think so too!

The two stewards shuddered as a chill traveled down their spines.

H-Hey, did you feel that just now?

Y-Yeah, I did.

Neither of them had any idea why they got the chills, but they soon found out after seeing Han-Yeol look at them with the most evil look they had ever seen.

***

In the end, both of them were forced to undergo Porter training for four straight hours under Han-Yeol.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir!

Sir, yes sir!

Han-Yeol even threw in special mental training for them as well. Nobody knew what awaited them on this island, so they did not have the luxury of shuddering in fear.

I might be a Transcendent Master-Rank Hunter, but I cant protect you around the clock! Therefore, you need to protect yourselves! I know you cant become the best in such a short period of time, but you should be able to survive without dying no matter what comes your way! Han-Yeol said in a tone that made him sound like a drill sergeant.

Yes, sir!

Neither of them wanted to undergo this training, but they had no choice as Han-Yeol looked too scary right now. It was more like he was exuding his mana to intimidate them, and it was far more effective than dealing with any type of verbal or physical abuse.

Hohoho!

My master is so cool! I think Im falling for him again~ I want to drag him to the bedroom even if its now a wreck, Tia said while licking her lips seductively.

Slurp! Slurp!

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Her ideal kind of guy was someone who was tough and evil.

Stewart shook his head and said,

Sigh

I think I have an idea why Lucifer and Astaroth chose him over so many eligible demons. Even demons wouldnt do something like this.

Hoho~

Not even monsters would be this cruel.

Tsk

Hoho~

This is why I love my master so much!

Hey, you two, cant you choose whether to praise or curse me? Han-Yeol grumbled.

Hoho~

What if I want to do both? Tia said playfully.

No!

Omo~ Im so disappointed~

Sigh

Stewart let out a sigh and could feel wrinkles forming on his forehead. He had not had any wrinkles for the past few millennia, but he had an ominous feeling that staying by Han-Yeols side for a few years was going to age him drastically.

Anyway, Ill leave their survival training to you, Scarlett, Han-Yeol said.

Alright, leave it to me.

I knew I could count on you!

You can do more than that~

The fact that Scarlett, who underwent all sorts of special training, was with him was quite helpful. She underwent the same training as a certain person on TV who treated everything as a source of protein, so she was, without a doubt, a survival expert.

Then, what should we try this time~? Scarlett muttered with sparkling eyes.

N-Nooo!

The stewards screamed inwardly and despaired after seeing the look in her eyes.

***

Han-Yeol trained the stewards for four days, which was neither short nor long. That was enough time to teach someone the basics on how to become a Porter and survive.

Yeah, that should be more than enough,

he thought.

He did not bother training them longer than that, as he did not have high hopes that they would do much. After all, the key individual in this exploration was Han-Yeol himself, so the stewards just had to know how to do the bare minimum.

Well, he would have wasted around ten days training them if it was not for Scarlett. Her expertise came in very handy and was the only reason they were able to finish their training in four hours.

Alright! Time to depart!

Yes, sir!

The stewards had large eye bags after training nonstop for the past four days. They looked like they were about to die and were extremely haggard, but perhaps it was due to the training they received that there was renewed spirit in their eyes compared to the first time they came here.

Kyu!

Kyuing!

Mavros nested on top of Han-Yeols head while the White Dragon wrapped itself around his neck as they explored this suspicious island.

Shwaaa

The thirty Shurarmors summoned by Stewart were in charge of gathering supplies and scouting their immediate vicinity. They were unable to display the same power they displayed in the demon world, but they were still useful as physical laborers. Also, Han-Yeol loved the fact that Stewart could summon these golem-like demons as much as he wanted to as long as he had enough mana.

Han-Yeol threw a tantrum. I want a skill like that! I want one!

Has it crossed your mind that maybe you are being too greedy, Han-Yeol-nim? Stewart asked in response.

Han-Yeol could not help but covet this skill that could summon an army of manual laborers. The fact that Mariam had her ants while Stewart had these demons annoyed him even further.

Of course, he did have the Black Orc Horde, but he could not summon them anytime and anywhere he wanted.

They ventured into the forest on the island when Tia suddenly asked,

Hoho~

Then what about that, master?

Hmm?

Dont you think its a great idea to slightly tweak the Lava Golem summoning skill I helped you create last time and make it so that you can summon different kinds of golems?

Oh Han-Yeol muttered while feeling slightly guilty. She indeed had made the Lava Golem for him, which was amazing, but it was not that useful for Han-Yeol.

Hoho~

Its fine, master. That was my first time sculpting something, and I felt bad that it was something quite personal to me rather than something useful for you. So, I was thinking, why dont we make something together this time?

Oh? That sounds like a great idea.

Kyu!

Mavros chimed in. He actually had no idea what they were talking about, but he decided to join after sensing that the mood was good.

On the other hand, Stewart let out a sigh once again. Not that long had passed since they ventured into the forest, but they were already setting up camp after the two impulsively decided to do something.

Sigh

The demon could not help but wonder why nothing went smoothly whenever Han-Yeol was involved.

So, do you have something in mind, Tia? Han-Yeol asked.

Plop! Plop!

He used his Magma Attribute to summon a pile of lava that was neither too hot nor too cold.

I think something like those Shurarmors is good. They look like humanoids too, so most people wont have problems with them. Also, they look cool.

Hmm

Han-Yeol usually would have given the thumbs up without much opinion as long as it was Tias opinion, but he did not do so this time.

Why? Dont you like it, master? Tia asked, slightly worried that Han-Yeol no longer felt the same toward her.

She knew she was an attractive female, but she also knew that her appearance was not something humans would be attracted to.
