chapter 30
030. Extraterrestrial Catastrophe (1)
Thanks to the Demons dragging the [Demon King] with the authority of a devil or something and invading the mother castle, we were able to attack like that.
“Because they’re not the only ones who can use [gates].”
Maria, a hybrid creature I made from the demons I kidnapped, didn’t have a particular title, but she was an individual who was imprinted with quite strong powers, perhaps because she inherited a better lineage than I thought. That’s why, at this close range, a very large [gate] could be opened.
“Just in case, the demon king is busy fighting the boss over there.”
[Demon Castle], the culprit behind all of this, shining purple and floating in the sky of the mother castle, is now an empty house without an owner. This was a really great opportunity.
Regardless of which game you play, in games where the base exists, if the base is robbed by the enemy, you get a huge critical hit.
“I can kill that young man and the idiots somehow while I’m throwing away the incarnation, but that monster son of a demon lord can’t be eaten at all by [Lightning]. There is absolutely no chance for us to step in and intervene now.”
“Yes. It is impossible to figure out exactly how much power the demon lord has.”
“okay. In that case, the most efficient option would be to inflict significant damage on the [Demon Castle].”
Of course, it may be a bit difficult to claim that they robbed the main base against demons with territories in many dimensions and caused really great damage, but anyway, that [Demon Castle] is definitely their main base.
According to the information I obtained by dissecting the mind of the peacock I caught in Gangho, that place is the home planet where the lineage of the demon race began, and the center of all command.
It is said that even if you build a colony deep underground over there, you can instill some confusion in them.
“The problem is time.”
Unfortunately, we don’t have any information on why they are trying to save their abilities, but in their fight, the demon king who ‘has more ability to save something’ is unconditionally superior.
Even though it is a one-on-one fight in the first place, many of them use their allies as shields and are barely aiming for gaps. In a way, it seemed like a waste of time.
If the Demon King puts his mind to it, he can easily end that fight at any time. As long as the demon king doesn’t commit even a fatal mistake, that doesn’t mean that a fight will be established in the first place.
I don’t have much time right now, and I had to do something at the enemy base before their fight was over.
However, the time delay was ruined.
“What the fuck.”
“why?”
“Ah, a jellyfish helped the demon lord. Ha, such a stupid bastard. Why are you fooling around and getting beaten up there?”
“… … Isn’t that a jellyfish you purposely brought close to you to take a closer look?”
“… … Have you come to the stage where you can read my thoughts?”
Even if the devil made a fatal mistake, I made a mistake.
“Hey, Chimera. Just throw in all your troops. Don’t die, come back alive.”
Now, the time given to me has become even shorter, to the point that I have to expect the demon king to delay my return to the main base while dealing with my large army.
The moment he returns to his base, my operation may just end with exhaustion.
“Are the jellyfish troop boarding still far away? Bring more legion queens! Wasp escort?”
―My lord, we are preparing.
“Hurry up.”
I realized the need to have a separate unit with this kind of ‘commando’ personality. It is really blood-drying to suddenly prepare at this point where every minute and every second counts.
“Jiwoo, should I wake Garam Lee and Choi Kang Han too?”
I shook my head.
“No, just leave it alone. Kang Jin-hyeok, don’t even think that you will follow me. Protect the hive and the return route here. If the demon king ever appears, evacuate to Earth unconditionally. No matter how confident he is in his skills, he won’t openly enter the place where the manager is. Anyway, the [Demon King] only goes to my last incarnation.”
“… … Are you okay?”
No big worries.
This incarnation really has nothing to do with dying.
“Anyway, the main body is here, so what? Hey, can I show you something really interesting?”
“… … fun?”
“Buy a single sword roughly from the point shop and give it to me.”
last incarnation.
This is the embodiment in which I have finally succeeded in replicating the powers given to me by the Earth Administrator.
[‘Chosun’s Sword Master’ is activated.]
[‘Bullet Man’ is activated.]
[‘I don’t need any potions! Rice is the best medicine!’ is activated.]
“Hey, isn’t this the body originally created with your genes?”
“… … such crazy.”
The moment Kang Jin-hyeok opened his eyes and spat out swear words, I held the sword that radiated divine power in my hand and in an instant broke through the speed of sound and moved.
Dig-!!!
So, this incarnation was able to use Kang Jin-hyeok’s authority.
– Lord! Everything is ready.
“It comes and goes. Be sure to protect the colony.”
Passing through the cracked space created by Maria, there was no longer a purple ominous planet in the sky, but the mother of a huge legion that looked like a half moon hidden in the shadows.
As the distance increased, the link with the body was severed, and soon a message from the ‘replicated system’ caught my eye.
[Demon Castle]
come.
I finally came to this goddam capital planet.
-storm! storm!
“Yes, you too will be able to return alive.”
As the No. 1 modified jellyfish, which I successfully genetically engineered for the first time, soared high into the sky, thousands of special attack jellyfish and a swarm of wasps that followed for escort aligned with me and embroidered the sky of [Demon King] into a legion.
After flying for a long time, the city of demons appeared in front of me.
It wasn’t the capital of the planet where the demon lord’s fortress was located, but since it was quite large, it seems that if you attack that place, you will be able to see a great effect.
“Destroy that city first. Legion queens take the spider down deep underground while we wait. It’s an underground horse that’s deep enough to be undetected by them. At least go down to the depth of the lava flow and form a colony.”
-I will obey the command of the ruler.
Jellyfish with legion queens descended first.
After confirming that the queens had landed on the ground and were digging down, I led the commando team and continued straight ahead towards the city in front of me.
“Break it and break it.”
It was an inevitable twist for the success of the clandestine operation.
[‘Chosun’s Sword Master’ is activated.]
[‘Bullet Man’ is activated.]
[‘???’ becomes active.]
A large-scale jellyfish that appeared in the sky of the city dropped spiders in earnest, and wasps began to stab the demons who ran outside with poisonous needles.
It seems that the majority of the demons here are ‘commoners’. Few of them stand up to the forces of the Legion.
But soon, professional combat troops and what appeared to be lower nobles appeared and began to confront the spiders.
In the first place, this is a city of demons, and no matter how few combat troops there are, there is no possibility of winning in the fight for quantity with 10,000 troops brought in hastily.
“Commons or whatever, the only good demons are backward demons.”
After borrowing the power of authority, I quickly approached the area and opened my power toward the lower nobles and their combat troops.
“Lightning.”
Pajijijik-!!!
Because the link with the main body was cut off, instead of golden light, white light began to pour down on their heads with only dozens of blades of lightning.
Of course, even if it is a lightning bolt with very low power, the basic base that destroys the mind once hit is still the same.
In just one shot, all the demon troops that had been pouring out of the city’s buildings collapsed.
“If you save it, you can use it about 20 times.”
No matter how much the power is lowered, it is inevitable that there will be a burden. Now is the time to hunt demons with maximum efficiency.
Let’s just deal with the few enemies by borrowing the power of power imprinted in Kang Jin-hyeok’s genes, and let’s catch the majority of enemies with lightning strikes.
“But what about the Demon King?”
what’s weird Obviously, if the Demon King had reported that I had invaded the main base, he should have returned a long time ago even if he had returned. But why is there still no response?
I’m in a situation where I’m disconnected from the main body, so I can’t use my sense of the future. I don’t know how the hell things are going.
This bastard, are you still in motherhood?
“… … Well, if you come late, I have the advantage of coming late.”
Dig-!!!
From far away, a man who seemed to be a low-ranking noble tried to stab the warrior spider in the stomach, so I rushed over with my authority and swung my sword filled with divine power.
In a situation where you run a handful of commandos without colonies to replenish your troops, each and every corps entity like that warrior spider is really precious. There is a limit to replenishing troops bit by bit through gates far from the city.
Awesome!
Took!
It was really absurd, but his head was sliced like tofu and rolled on the floor when I cut him, who had never even learned swordsmanship.
“… … and fuck.”
Kang Jin-hyeok bastard, Kwon-neung is a real scammer.
* * *
The Demon King tilted his head. He obviously remembered a familiar nest and used the power, but when he opened the door and came out, this place was not a fortress.
What he saw around him was a vast plain full of flowers from the demon realm blooming all the way to the horizon, an area where no demons lived even in the [Demon King Castle].
“… … Why are the coordinates of the [gate] wrong?”
When the Demon King tried to use his authority again, he heard the voice of the criminal who interfered with his authority.
“It’s been a while.”
When the demon king frowned and turned his head, he saw a high-ranking demon glaring at him from far away in the field. Several doors were created behind this high-ranking demon, and the general and his men could be seen walking out.
The high-ranking demon smiled and asked the demon king.
“So, is it worth playing the role of the Demon King?”
The ‘Previous Demon King’ asked the ‘Contemporary Demon King’.
“You cowardly fugitive who ran away from the apostle.”
“I have come to reclaim the lost fortress. You usurper.”
At the same time, intense purple energy began to flow from the entire body of the former incumbent demon king.
The civil war over the seat of the one and only demon king had just begun.
* * *
“… … Isn’t this too easy to open the highway?”
He has already grown mugwort in three cities with a very good harvest, but the demon king still hasn’t seen his nose plucked.
At this point, even if things are going well, I feel uneasy.
Originally, I thought it would be a success if I just caught their attention and kept the Legion queens from digging underground.
If you’re really lucky and paralyze a city, it’s a great success, and in fact, if the demon king dies quickly, he thought about going back without succeeding in anything.
I decided that unless my body had grown to the level of [The Legion’s Will], it would be impossible to crush him with force. First of all, the only answer was to avoid direct confrontation unconditionally and lead to a ‘war’ rather than a ‘battle’.
But now, the Demon King is dereliction of duty.
– Ruler, discovery.
―Fortress, fort!
-castle! huge!
-storm! storm! storm! storm!
so i came now
[Demon Castle]
It has the same name as this planet, but that star does not mean a star. It is the very building that uses the word castle, which means a castle.
A legendary fortress that boasts a truly enormous size comparable to any city on Earth, is the residence of the Demon King, and boasts strong defense with countless turrets plastered on its outskirts. The [Demon King], which usually decorates the last background in stories where the existence of [Hero] appears, is right in front of my eyes.
But it’s very rare.
Am I really using all my luck today?
“… … Are the turrets broken as a group?”
It seems that the famous [Demon Castle] is really out of order.
“Introduce the ground spider. Scout the interior.”
That was when I gave the order.
