Episode 118. Battle for a saint (4)
A joint force of barbarians and imperial troops. These were people Jay knew.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘A loa called Malak has descended and is growing in power. The last time we encountered it, it was stealing the legacy of a sorceress named Beatrice. It seemed like they had joined hands with you civilized people.’
When exchanging information in the past, Charon said that. He may be an eccentric person, but he was not one to lie.
She didn’t even tell Charon about it because she thought she could use it during negotiations later, but in fact, she sent modified creatures named Chimera to look for that force.
Chimeras are quiet and agile enough to outsmart even the best assassins in the empire.
Jay was able to share vision with the chimeras through magic, so there was no better tool for quietly finding out information.
A few days after sending the chimeras, we were able to directly confirm their power. They were living in Symphonia Castle.
‘It seemed like there were quite a lot of people and the equipment was good, so I gave up on the attack. I also felt uncomfortable with the guy named Malak…. Should I have told Charon then?’
Jay frowned.
It was clear that teams 4 and 6 were also attacked by them. There are many reasons to attack.
Probably the biggest reason was that the Darwinist school was joining hands with Charon, who was at odds with the Loa.
“I don’t know how they found our team or why they attacked three teams at the same time.”
“Among those who serve Malak, there are paladins. He must have used her hand.”
Jay had seen a female paladin from afar through the eyes of her chimera.
Paladins who are possessed can contact each other using an ultra-long-distance communication method created by the power of the goddess, that is, the community.
Other paladins who became followers of Malak must have quickly exchanged information.
It was an enviable ability in this area where there was no talent capable of using long-distance communication magic.
‘If only the elders of the school had not been exterminated… ‘
The terrifying image of a winged reptile came to mind. The appearance of the red devil, spewing destructive green fire from its seven snouts, destroying the magic tower and burning the ground.
It was the shadow of the end, the destroyer of the world.
Even if you make the chimeras grow bigger, you will never be able to win. Isn’t that why he went under Charon, who has a chance of winning against it?
“…First of all, come back when all the teams return. “I will try my hand at it.”
Jay sent her minions out of her room.
“Tch.”
The three teams that had even taken Charon’s zombie army disappeared in an instant. If they find out about this headquarters, it will be a big problem.
5 Years. For about five years, I hid in this building with the members of the school to avoid the evil eye. Waiting for her own time to come.
It cannot collapse in vain like this.
“It’s okay. I am the chosen one. “He is the leader of the new humanity.”
Jay muttered to himself.
She still remembers. As soon as I underwent the new human treatment and changed the species itself, the moment when the doubts that had disappeared into the unconscious side were awakened.
Why have we not suspected until now that the paladins, who are said to only appear when the world is in danger, are humans from another world who have acquired artificial bodies created by the power of the goddess?
The goddess used her power to hide the identity of the Holy Knight. She was a deception and trick of a divine being who wanted to oppress humanity.
The same is true of what is happening now.
It was clear that the god Malak could not tolerate them, a more advanced and developed new human race.
‘There is too little information. Let alone the combined forces of barbarians and empires, how strong is the descended god?’
In the end, I had no choice but to ask Charon for help. Jay again injected his magic into the black skull. The skull is slowly engulfed in red energy.
[Didn’t I say I was busy? If you called me for something useless, you will have to pay a big price.]
There was a hint of anger in Charon’s voice. Jay answered quickly.
“It seems that the god named Malak that Charon mentioned has noticed our alliance. “It seemed like he was in league with the possessors.”
Jay confessed that his soldiers fought and were defeated by Malak’s followers.
[Malaak… ! Is it you again? !]
Is it an illusion that Charon seemed extremely angry upon hearing that name?
“Didn’t you say that Malak has descended? “I have no idea how much power he has.”
As Jay finished speaking, Charon, who had been listening quietly, opened her mouth.
[…Malak is the most powerful being among Loa. As such, interfering with this world requires a long period of time and a large number of believers.
He may not have gained enormous power yet. At best, I can transfer my consciousness to the totem and exercise small powers.]
Charon added that Appearance and Advent are completely different, and unlike Appearance, which temporarily manifests the main body on earth, Advent is a spiritual being that can only exercise power.
[I will send a high-ranking demon with good mobility as reinforcements. Control him using the magic tool I gave you earlier. Then we will be able to exterminate Malak’s followers.]
“Are you okay?”
[It doesn’t matter.]
Well, when Jay saw him, he was Charon, who was dragging two high-ranking demons as zombies. By now, he’ll have more high-ranking demons at his disposal.
Wow!
Suddenly, a bear howl was heard from the black skull acting as a communicator. The divine energy contained in that sound reached Jay even from a distance.
“Ugh… !”
Jay, feeling God’s favor, trembled slightly. She was a force that no one dared oppose.
[Udan, you are very angry. I guess I could hear the conversation.
How does it feel to be reincarnated after losing your godhood and borrowing the godhood of other loas? It will most likely be miserable. Beast called God, I will bring eternal death to you… !]
Bang! With that sound, contact with Charon was lost.
“…”
Could it be the influence of divine energy? Her hands and feet are shaking, and her heart is pounding. Her whole body is hot.
I was afraid of Charon, who stood up to such a powerful being without fear. He’s just pretending not to know, but maybe he’s fully aware of his tricks.
What if we found out that the ‘paradise’ that the evolutionist school would create was a process of exterminating the old human race and allowing the new human race to prosper? Will that really please Charon?
As soon as she thought about it, her head started hurting.
“The whole team is back. “We are waiting for the president’s orders.”
The voice of his immediate subordinate, heard outside the door, woke Jay from his thoughts.
“Give a standby order. Charon has decided to send reinforcements. When reinforcements arrive, we will advance to Symphonia.”
Anyway, the important thing now is to end Malak’s forces. Before they found out the location of the headquarters and how to use the badge that only the team leader had.
Even given the location of the headquarters, it would be difficult to figure out how to use the badge. The team leader is the one who has the badge, but the ones who can handle it are the executives who come down after receiving notification from the headquarters sentry. Even if you torture the team leader, you won’t find out how to use the badge.
You might be lucky enough to have an authority on magic device development there.
It is definitely cutting-edge technology. It would be difficult to find out even with the legacy of Archmage Beatrice that was said to have been stolen.
“What about a saint?”
“I am not opening my mouth even once. Shall we torture him?”
“No. Even though she looks like an ordinary woman, she is a representative of a goddess. The moment she causes harm she may be cursed by the goddess. Try to coax him as much as possible. “Tell me about paradise.”
“I understand.”
Several hours passed after the subordinate left.
Jay, lost in her thoughts as she looked out her window, realized that the shadow of something large was approaching her headquarters, just enough to slightly obscure the sun.
“Ah… !”
Jay immediately opened the window, confirmed the identity of the shadow, and burst out in admiration.
A giant stingray-shaped zombie demon landed on the ground along with other winged zombies. The Stingray Devil’s broad back had enough saddles to accommodate hundreds of people.
He was a high-ranking devil who made large-scale troop movement possible.
“President!”
Her direct subordinate also hurriedly looked for Jay, probably having witnessed the scene.
“Send all teams except the stationed team to Symphonia on the back of that devil. “Don’t forget to tell them to finish it quickly.”
You can’t just send zombies with low intelligence. In order to collect the loot after the battle, living soldiers must also be sent.
“Yes!”
Jay, whose expression became brighter than before, took out her magic tool that Charon had passed away from her drawer.
It was a scorched tree branch, and when she infused it with her magical power, it trembled as if vibrating.
Jay gave orders to the high-ranking demon through her magical tools. It was a simple order: pick up your allies, go to Symphonia, and kill the enemies.
Since this tool briefly connects the brains of the user and the zombie, there was no need to explain where Symphonia was.
Originally, the magic tools should have been entrusted to the team leader, but the power of a high-ranking devil cannot be entrusted to just one team leader.
It is right for the president himself to have it in order to maintain power.
Soon, a high-ranking demon resembling a stingray flew up with the soldiers on its back. Flying zombies follow them.
“Huh.”
Jay sighed in relief and sat down on the chair. He was just resting, thinking he wanted to close his eyes for a moment.
“There are intruders!”
“…What?”
Jay’s vertical pupil, which was already as thin as a snake, became narrower.
