The Extra Prince Sets Out To Conquer The World

Demiway doesn’t trust me.

Perhaps while devising the subjugation strategy, no matter how well I handled Geor’s dolls, he didn’t expect anything beyond a sturdy barrier level.

That’s a wise judgment.

Rather than desiring something beyond one’s capabilities and disrupting the plan, it’s right to devise the operation based on minimum standards.

The moment a commander relies on uncertainty, the unit collapses.

For the same reason, I don’t trust Demiway either.

My strategy was also established on the premise that he would not lead the subjugation unit here, and I moved the dolls accordingly.

“Young master, then isn’t that a problem?”

Gilbert asked tensely, looking off into the distance where the murderous aura of red eyes could be felt.

Even now, it seemed he was barely suppressing the urge to instinctively raise his spirits in response to the murderous energy.

I smiled wryly at Gilbert’s question.

“It’s not enough to call it a problem. Because Precia will drop everything and rush over even if the commander doesn’t come.”

It would be ideal if Demiway could lead the subjugation unit he assembled, but as long as I have Precia, I can carry out my plan.

“Still, I’m worried after all. Failure is worse than sickness, even though Commander Blanzberg put so much effort into the red eye subjugation, didn’t it go awry from the beginning of the operation?”

Gilbert’s concern was natural.

Because there’s no such thing as a perfect plan.

Come to think of it, it was obvious that Demiway would fail in subjugating the red eyes.

If it had followed the original flow of the novel, Arcana 03, the Empire’s Assazhad Marchioness would not have come to the kingdom at this time, so there was a high possibility that Horazon’s dispatch would have been approved.

Horazon would have responded to the dispatch thinking of Precia, who was dragged in as a sinner.

But even though the two superhumans moved, the red eyes were still alive in the novel.

Perhaps in the novel as well, the pursuit team chasing the red eyes lost their trail due to a mistake.

Since it failed even after deploying two monsters like Demiway and Horazon, the kingdom’s three other superhumans wouldn’t have risked their lives for their reputations.

As a result, the red eye was neglected for 3 years until Jade and Precia could subjugate it, without anyone being able to make a proper subjugation attempt.

“I know. That’s why we need to ensure maximum safety. The most important thing is my safety, after all.”

I scattered the bait while checking the red eye’s location information sent by the reconnaissance doll.

The red eye, blinded by hunger, either didn’t know it was being lured or thought it didn’t matter even if lured, and moved according to my intentions.

“Ah! The reconnaissance doll was shot down.”

Even though it was observing from quite a distance, the red eye must have been bothered by the reconnaissance doll, so it spat out the bone fragment it was chewing and shot down the reconnaissance doll.

Either the red eye thought a bat the size of a fist wouldn’t be able to fill it, or it knew it wasn’t edible, so it didn’t even pay attention to the shot down reconnaissance doll.

“Tsk, we can’t observe from further away than this.”

The reconnaissance doll used ultrasound to check the surrounding terrain information, but there was a risk of carelessly stimulating the red eye, whose hearing was sensitive, so it collected the red eye’s movements with visual information.

“Silua, don’t you have anything with better performance?”

“No, that’s the limit with visual information.”

I guess we have no choice but to judge only with the surrounding information.

Kya-aa-aa-aa!!

Once again, the roar of the red eye echoed through the mountain range.

“Well, good. That rockhead is voluntarily providing a location notification service, so it’s fine.”

Soon it will reach inside the gorge. As long as Precia arrives on time, we can hunt it sufficiently.

The red eye thought it was strange.

Not only was the bloody smell so thick that its sense of smell was numbed, and the prey disappeared as if evaporated, but it was also the first time that bait was laid out as if to lure it.

That was because even if it wasn’t a red eye, if food was laid out like this, other monsters would usually take it away.

“Kya-aa-aa-aa!!”

The red eye had enough of a mind to think that far.

So it continuously made roaring sounds to prevent potential competitors from stealing the laid out food.

It was also to find new prey, but it was a warning to anyone not to covet its food.

“Crunch! Crunch crunch!”

The red eye picked up a turtle-shaped monster encased in a thick exoskeleton with its four hands, chewed and crushed the shell, and then dug into the inside to eat it.

After swiftly devouring it, the red eye entered the entrance of a large gorge, led by its hearing.

The red eye has entered the gorge.

I had to go around in circles to lure it here to prepare to hunt the red eye, but thanks to that, the preparations are roughly finished.

As expected, puppet masters are the best.

Thanks to the Zillian series, I didn’t have to struggle alone.

Of course, it would be unsightly for my dolls to show off instead of me.

“Shall we also come up with a plausible operation name like the commander?”

At my suggestion, Silua raised her hand and proposed an operation name.

“Operation Euphrates Ultravibration!”

“We didn’t use Euphrates’ Ultravibration.”

At my point, Silua mumbled, “Operation Charlie Left-hand Rule? Operation Alpha-Gamma Mana Extraction Method?” while pondering over the operation name.

No, I wish she would get out of magical theory.

When I looked at Gilbert, he cautiously suggested.

“Operation Red Eye Great Subjugation?”

“Too common.”

It makes me want to put the modifier ‘Summoning the Storm’ in front of it.

Gilbert and Silua began a heated discussion over operation names, debating which one was better.

“Gilbert oppa, it’s too boring.”

“You’re the one attaching strange, incomprehensible names, Silua.”

“It’s not a strange name! Charlie’s left-hand rule is a mana wave law discovered by Supreme Mage Charlie 40 years ago…!”

Both of them were tense when the red eye was coming here, but as their tension loosened a bit, they engaged in a heated discussion.

As expected, there’s nothing like idle chatter to relieve tension.

As the red eye approached closer to the 1st operation area, the eyes placed all over the gorge reflected the red eye’s appearance.

“Alright, enough. The operation name is decided as ‘Rabbit Hunting’. Zillian Original, get ready.”

“We follow the Vice Master’s orders.”

At my words, the Zillian Original moved to position, carrying a pile of mana stones with the blood not even dried.

Gilbert and Silua also nodded their heads and held their sword and magic staff respectively.

“It seems lacking for a great demon subjugation, but it’s better than the operation name Silua mentioned.”

“It’s a slightly deflating name, but it’s better than what Gilbert oppa came up with.”

The two spoke simultaneously and then glared at each other.

Before the two could raise their voices, I shouted.

“Operation ‘Rabbit Hunting’ begins now! Activate Magic Circle 3! Pour down, rain of ice!”

At the start signal of the operation that took into account the worst of the worst, Zillian Original assisted my magic computation by placing mana stones on the mana line connected to the first magic circle.

As the magic was invoked, ice condensed in the sky, and huge ice spears poured down like hail toward the middle of the gorge.

“Kya-aa-aa-aa!!”

The red eye roared and evaded the ice bombardment pouring from high altitude.

Kwang-gwang-gwang-!

The red eye must have instinctively judged that it was dangerous to move into the gorge, so it tried to turn back the way it came.

“No way! Activate magic circles 41 and 46! Explode!”

I then activated the magic circles that were deliberately set to fail.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the direction the red eye was heading collapsed.

As a huge landslide-like pile of earth and sand poured down, the red eye turned its body and escaped into the gorge.

I’m a little disappointed, thinking that as a great demon, it would forcibly break through the landslide.

I won’t be able to use the magic circles after 130 that I prepared in case of a forced breakthrough out of the gorge.

“Activate magic circle 51! Create Golem!”

As magic circle 51 moved, the collapsed earth and sand clumped together, creating a huge wall the height of the gorge.

That wall was a single golem, so it wouldn’t collapse unless the core was broken or the mana stones fell out.

Of course, to maintain it, it consumed one mana stone every 5 seconds with extremely poor cost-effectiveness, but today alone, I massacred over 500 colonies.

It means mana stones are overflowing.

As the wall appeared, the red eye was startled.

I’ll drive it in before it comes to its senses.

“Activate magic circles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! Pour down, rain of ice!”

This time, a brutal high-altitude ice bombardment poured down on the entire gorge.

The red eye ran to escape the ice bombardment, but with its huge body, there was nowhere left to escape.

“Kya-aa-aa-aa!!”

“Ugh! Cough!”

Even from a distance, the roar that resonated through the gorge felt like being beaten all over the body.

This rotten body was too fragile.

“Young master!”

“Yuan oppa!”

When I suffered internal injuries and vomited blood, the two worriedly tried to support me.

“Stay in position. Silua, prepare to deploy the named dolls when I give the signal.”

Spots of red color spread little by little between the red eye’s white fur.

To think it’s only scratched after being hit by a downpour of 30cm ice spears dropped from 7,000 meters, there’s no other crazy monster like it.

“Activate magic circles 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, drive in, hot winds!”

“Vice Master, due to the ice spears, there are abnormalities in magic circles 13 and 15, so they won’t activate.”

I nodded at Zillian Original’s report. It’s within expectations.

Since it’s an attack that can injure the red eye, I calculated the damage to the magic circles installed on the ground and installed them on the gorge walls as well.

From magic circles 11, 12, and 14 laid out on the bottom and walls of the gorge, high-temperature hot winds spewed out, quickly melting the ice spears densely stuck in the ground.

“Rami.”

-Beep!

The water spirit Rama, who was sitting on my shoulder, jumped onto the mana stone sack and consumed mana stones to exert its power.

“Ugh!”

Rama used my mana as a starter to draw and use the mana stones.

This is quite tough.

I felt dizzy from the momentary acute mana depletion, but it soon improved.

At the bottom of the gorge, a giant made of water began attacking the red eye.

The fists of the water giant and the red eye mercilessly struck each other.

The red eye was wounded by the water giant’s attack, and the water giant’s body shattered and reassembled with each punch from the red eye.

Each time the water giant broke, a handful of mana stones were consumed as if evaporated. In proportion to the consumption of mana stones, my mana was also cut away.

“It seems I can’t fight for long as I thought.”

I controlled the water giant to wrap around the red eye’s whole body and tried to suffocate it by engulfing its head.

“…Aaaaaah!”

The red eye blew away the mass of water blocking its airways by emitting a mana wave along with its cry.

However, it couldn’t blow away the water coiled around its body in time.

“Activate magic circles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! Seep in! Footsteps of winter!”

The heat filling the gorge cooled down in an instant and began to freeze everything inside the gorge.

From the wet ground to the watery ropes squeezing and restraining the red eye became sturdy restraints.

“Kya-aa-aa-aa!!”

The red eye tried with all its might to break free from the restraints, but it didn’t seem easy.

It was natural. This is the land of bitter cold guarded by the Sage of the Winter Tree.

I gathered and concentrated the cold energy spread throughout the mountain range, so no matter how great a demon it is, it won’t be easy.

“Nuni!”

-Boro-ro-ro!

At my call, Nuni took Rami’s place on the spot where it was sitting.

“Activate magic circles 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Hundred strands of lightning, descend along one path!”

Rumble rumble-! Kwa-aang-!

Nuni consumed a sack of mana stones and became the catalyst for the magic.

Lightning imbued with the power of the Lightning Monarch struck down into the gorge.

I collapsed to the ground due to the mana draining out in chunks.

“Wow, with this much, you could take out a thousand large monsters in one blow. Isn’t the red eye dead too?”

“If it were an ordinary monster, that would be the case. Activate magic circles 101 to 129.”

Twenty-nine various recovery magic circles floated around me, restoring my body and mana.

“Zillian Original, check for vital signs.”

The eyes attached to the gorge couldn’t see anything due to the flashing lightning strike.

“Vice Master, vital signs are detected at the bottom of the gorge.”

As expected, I thought it wouldn’t die.

As the lightning subsided, the charred red eye jumped up the gorge, emitting an ominous murderous energy.
