‘It feels like a long time ago.’
It was like the days when he used to roam the demon world with Tang-E. He moved at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, killing all the demons and demonic creatures he met.
‘It can’t be helped even if it is slow.’
Of course, his movement speed was much slower than it was back then. It was inevitable because Callioraks walked with Tang-E and taught him the secret arts.
‘Later, when it is over, we can go with space movement.’
In any case, it was one of the two. If Callioraks finished teaching before he found Renfelvik, they would move through space movement. Otherwise, they would just go to Renfelvik at this speed.
‘There are no quests anyway... I’m going to hunt.’
Of course, there was a belief that there would be a quest before meeting Renfelvik. No matter what Callioraks’ intentions were, it was true that he was now moving due to Callioraks’ request.
“Again, again. It isn’t like that. It is like this. Even if it is difficult, there is a good chance that this side will develop.”
Callioraks taught Tang-E via practice and excluded the theory. He knew very well that he would teach step by step if there was a lot of time, but he didn’t have time. Even so, Callioraks never became angry or made his voice loud. He always taught Tang-E in a soft tone.
“Yes, well done. You have talent.”
If Tang-E couldn’t follow him properly, then he waited for Tang-E to follow. If Tang-E did well, then he generously gave praise.
“Tang-E will work hard.”
Tang-E was also learning enthusiastically thanks to Callioraks’ educational philosophy. Meanwhile, Hyeonu blocked the demons and demonic creatures in advance from interfering with the two of them. A demonic creature’s body was split in half and blood gushed out like a fountain. However, as soon as the blood was dispersed in the air, it disappeared without any form.
This was Callioraks’ skill. He placed an invisible barrier to prevent it from reaching Tang-E.
‘Tang-E is growing.’
Hyeonu was doing the labor of a bus driver, but he didn’t feel bad about doing it in the slightest. It was because he was sure that his current efforts would be returned to him one day.
‘I don’t know if it is already coming back to me.’
It could be seen from Tang-Ea’s skill proficiency, which changed every time he checked Tang-E’s skill window. The proficiency of the secret arts was rising sharply every day. It was natural since he was learning from Hugo, Manong, and Callioraks.
“Callioraks, is Tang-E talented?” Hyeonu approached Callioraks and asked carefully.
“Talented? He is excellent. His species itself is superior. He isn’t inferior to any species when it comes to handling magic power.” Callioraks gave praise. From his perspective, Tang-E’s talent was really great. It wasn’t easy to make progress in such a short amount of time.
‘The secret arts are never easy...’ Even if it was just the basics, the secret arts were definitely difficult to learn. Yet Tang-E was learning such things well.
“I see...” Hyeonu felt that his efforts weren’t in vain after hearing Callioraks’ one compliment.
‘How many essences did I feed him...? He should be doing this.’
“Tang-E, I only believe in you. You are my hope.”
The emperor—Tang-E’s growth, as well as Hyeonu’s, was essential in order to deal with this monster.
“Then after teaching both, I found something quite interesting.”
Callioraks brought up meaningful words to Hyeonu, who was looking at Tang-E with an obscure gaze.
“Something interesting? What is it?” Hyeonu’s eyes widened as he asked.
“The two secret arts are strangely mixed. It is similar to when my tribe created the chaos magic power.”
“Huh? Is this true?”
Hyeonu’s eyes, which seemed unable to grow any bigger, grew wider than before.
“I also think it is amazing. You said that the one who uses the light attribute magic power was very interested in the other secret arts, right? It is likely that he was instinctively attracted. He must’ve had a premonition that he could fill in something that he lacked.”
It was really a coincidence that Callioraks discovered this. At first, he only felt a slightly weak sensation. Then he felt certain as he continued to alternate teaching the secret arts of the two tribes to Tang-E.
Light and darkness—the two techniques could be combined into one.
“Does this mean you have created a secret art based on the chaos magic power?”
Callioraks shook his head at Hyeonu’s fierce question. “It isn’t enough to say that yet. It is just that there was a possibility.”
It was still only a possibility. It was because there were no results.
“I understand, Callioraks.”
Hyeonu truly admired it. He hadn’t expected that the two secret arts could be combined.
‘However, one has only the basics... will it be okay?’
At this moment, a problem popped up in Hyeonu’s head.
“One of the books I showed you contains the entire secret arts, while the other one contains only the basics. Will it work out as you think?”
Hyeonu’s concerns were valid. It was a question that anyone would ask.
“In any case, it is about building a new one based on the two. The basics are enough.”
Callioraks shook his head. He didn’t tell Hyeonu, but it was the chaos magic power itself that was the basis of integrating the two secret arts. The secret arts were a type of processing process. It was processing the chaos magic power.
‘If it gets stuck...’
It was enough to fill in the lacking parts of the secret arts. He knew the one practicing the secret arts and even the whereabouts. There was nothing wrong with it.
“Then my worry is meaningless.”
Hyeonu nodded. In fact, it didn’t matter if Callioraks succeeded in integrating the secret arts or not. By teaching Tang-E the secret arts, he had already achieved Hyeonu’s desired purpose.
‘He will pass it onto Tang-E if he succeeds, right?’
Of course, there was nothing better than Callioraks succeeding and passing it onto Tang-E. It meant he would get at least one skill above the epic level.
‘Tang-E, grow well.’

Inside a building in New York City...
There was a room full of all types of electronic devices. A man with a stiff face was sitting between the electronic devices. The man’s name was Ellis. He was the exclusive editor of a man on the other side of the world.
‘How do I edit it?’
He had only one worry. The editing of the videos that were piled up in his email. It wasn’t hard if it was just editing.
‘I need to reveal the problem...’
In his eyes, the entire video that Hyeonu sent was a problem. There was nothing that could be easily disclosed. In recent years, the trend had become worse.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to ask myself?’
Ellis felt limited in his ability to communicate via email. He felt like he had to talk in person as he had done before. The time he thought about it was long, but once he came to a conclusion, there was no hesitation when moving. Ellis picked up the phone, tapped on Hyeonu’s number registered in his contacts and pressed the phone shaped icon.
-Hello?
It rang for around 10 seconds before a low to medium tone voice was heard.
“It is Ellis,” Ellis replied calmly without being flustered by the unfamiliar Korean. His employer spoke Korean, so he had learned Korean to some extent. It might be difficult to speak in Korean, but he was able to understand the easy words.
-Ellis? What happened?
Hyeonu’s voice rose slightly. There were only a few times when Ellis called him. A call only came when something really important happened.
“It is nothing. Just... I’m having a hard time editing the video, so I wanted to consult you.”
-A hard time?
“Yes, it is hard.”
Hyeonu closed his mouth and was lost in thought for a moment. It was because he didn’t have a sense of the difficulties that Ellis was talking about.
-Tell me about it. If it is something I can solve, then I’ll try to do it as soon as possible.
Hyeonu had no idea, so he slightly cocked his head and opened his mouth.
“It is nothing. Just... I don’t know how much I should reveal when editing...”
-Ah...! It was this...
Hyeonu heard Ellis’ words and realized what difficulties this person was facing.
‘The recent videos have a problem.’
Most of the recent videos that he sent to Ellis were set in the demon world. Tang-E and Callioraks appeared all the time. Naturally, there weren’t many scenes that could be shown to people.
-First, edit it so that Callioraks can’t be seen. Just cut out and put Tang-E’s appearance.
Unlike Ellis, Hyeonu decided without much difficulty. It was natural since he was the owner of the videos.
“Do you want me to edit the process of Tang-E practicing his magic?”
Ellis understood Hyeonu immediately. It was because he had watched the videos many times in order to edit them.
-Yes, that’s right. Additionally, from tomorrow onward, I will give you a source that you can upload without much difficulty.
Hyeonu used this opportunity to reflect on himself. Arena was Arena, but he realized that he also had to do his duty as a streamer.
“Okay, I will edit the video as you said.”
The phone call between the two people ended here. There was nothing more to talk about since the main topic was over.
‘Focus on Tang-E... modulate Callioraks’ voice and blur his appearance...’
Ellis relaxed his expression and reached out to the computer.
***
Hyeonu started the process of securing a source to make a video for the A-World channel, just as he had promised Ellis.
‘I have to pause the gameplay videos for a while...’
There was nothing he could do until the end of his trip with Callioraks.
‘I can put up a different type.’
The A-World channel didn’t just have Hyeonu’s Arena gameplay footage. Other types of videos went up as well. For example, joint live stream footage with other streamers was one type. Hyeonu started work in many ways and he quickly attracted people’s attention.
[Alley Leader has gone crazy.]
What happened to Alley Leader? All of a sudden, he is streaming really hard. He did a joint one with Sunny and Lee Hoon. Reina and Mascherano as well. He is doing it with all the people he is close to. Yet why is his own live stream without any effort...
Of course, there was interest in Hyeonu, but interest in Tang-E had also grown. In particular, the video uploaded to the A-World channel this time added fuel to the burning interest.
[Did you see Tang-E on Alley Leader’s channel?]
His magic looks much stronger than the magic I have learned... I feel so ashamed. Still, I like that Tang-E is getting stronger. Is it just me?
[It is already established that Tang-E is the number one magician.]
It has already been verified among the rankers. The Tang-E that Alley Leader raised with essences is already number one.
At a time when interest in Hyeonu was burning in all the communities, Hyeonu was facing a completely different situation.
“Let’s do something together.”
“Did you watch a movie? What are you saying all of a sudden?”
Hyeonu’s expression crumpled when he heard Yeongchan’s words that came out of the blue.
“Let’s do one thing together,” Yeongchan approached Hyeonu and repeated the same thing again.
“What is going on?” Hyeonu asked with a frown.
“A joint stream.”
‘It feels like a long time ago.’
It was like the days when he used to roam the demon world with Tang-E. He moved at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, killing all the demons and demonic creatures he met.
‘It can’t be helped even if it is slow.’
