Episode 70. Tunnel Demon (1)
The replies came very quickly.
ㄴ [Princess Dina: There is only one high-ranking demon we caught.]
ㄴ [Close-up spy: …I see]
ㄴ [Princess Dina: Did you capture a high-ranking demon?]
Uh. That’s right.
The close-quarters spy asked if they had caught the two. So that means you knew you caught one.
Didn’t you implicitly say that you caught this?
ㄴ [Close-up spy: That’s… ]
ㄴ [Close-up spy: You don’t need to know]
That’s right. This guy caught it.
ㄴ [Princess Dina: I heard about Atomic Rex from a colleague.]
ㄴ [Princess Dina: Would you like to join the special forces? I think it will be a big help.]
ㄴ [Close-up spy: ㄴㄴ]
ㄴ [Princess Dina: We might be able to catch the dark cloud demon.]
ㄴ [Close-up spy: I see… You don’t know… ]
Ah, what you say is really divisive.
What kind of meme is that again?
ㄴ [Princess Dina: Yes? What are you talking about earlier?]
ㄴ [Close-in spies: Information 1) The number of high-ranking devils exceeds seventy]
ㄴ [Princess Dina: …Are there that many]
ㄴ [Close-up spy: Information 2) The dark cloud is of a different level from the guy you caught]
ㄴ [Melee Spy: If you really want to catch it, try taking on three level 10 users and challenge it]
ㄴ [Close-up spy: If you can’t do it, just give up. Aim to live a long life]
ㄴ [Melee Spy: This damn game was not made to be cleared in the first place]
ㄴ [Close-up spy: ㅅㄱ]
Just like that, the close-quarters spy left.
[Princess Dina: Three… I don’t think there will be time for that.]
[Princess Dina: To all of us.]
Princess Dina also disappeared, leaving behind some bitter-looking words.
To catch the Dark Cloud Demon, you need three max-level Paladins.
It may take several years.
– …
I should have felt better after hearing the news that a high-ranking demon had been caught, but something felt uneasy.
I can’t even tell how strong the dark clouds are.
You will have to kill hundreds of low-level demons and dozens of mid-level demons guarding him before you can fight in earnest.
Lake alone can take on dozens of low-level demons, but even three mid-level demons are too much.
Kanto may be holding on to three or four lower-ranking people, but that’s about it.
Ordinary warriors have a hard time with only one low-level warrior.
I can’t even think about it right now.
First, let’s catch the enemy in front of us, the tunnel demon. Because he is not an easy opponent.
***
The promised day has come.
Warriors from all tribal alliances are ready to go and are waiting for my orders.
This sounds cool in words, but in reality it’s just a grown man and woman kneeling in front of the mini totem that Lakke is holding.
It could be said to be a terrible human version of the Tsimba birth scene from the movie ‘The Lion King.’
– He may be clever, but he is not our opponent. With me and Malak…
He gave a rather nice speech. I slept a little late yesterday because I was thinking about this.
No matter what, this is my third expedition and I cannot pass it up half-heartedly.
Was this how the principal felt as he prepared his sermon?
At the time, I was angry and thought, ‘That old bastard talks too much,’ but now that I’m an adult, I can understand.
Those words must have been prepared after much thought.
Because it was a speech that put effort, sweat, and passion into it, I think it was why I read it out loud, repeating, ‘If I may add one last word~’.
“Oooooh!”
The response is better than I expected. There was no one whispering or doing anything else like during lesson time.
– … I promise you that Malak will win.
Everyone listened to me until the end with bright eyes.
I am overwhelmed with emotion.
“…Wet. Ah?”
It would have been really good if it weren’t for that sound.
A cub who dozes off and wakes up to notice his surroundings… Noah.
Tsk tsk.
Now I understand.
The meaning of what the elders always say, ‘Kids these days have poor concentration.’
He was criticizing the weak concentration of people on Earth in the 21st century.
“Let’s go! Revenge! This time we hit their hearts!”
Canto led the warriors with a loud voice.
Our commander is now able to defeat at least one low-level demon after a ‘moderate’ fight.
In this subjugation, rather than having Lakke monopolize the demon slaying like last time, we are going to give Kanto a chance as well.
“Go, go~!”
Even our Noah, who shouts awkwardly, can give up at least a low-level last hit.
Perhaps because he has the body of a paladin, he speaks well.
Okay. The main unit departed.
He was excited for Paya, who was scouting the enemy base with Tunteun.
“Ah, Mr. Malak.”
Paya’s vision contained the image of an imperial arena.
I was looking down from above.
Unfortunately, since you cannot use the power of the totem while in a state of insanity, you cannot see the detailed situation in the arena through close-ups.
– What is the situation?
“We are well armed. “I think they knew our attack and prepared for it.”
Did Lake and I check the tunnel we had dug again and prepare for a defensive battle?
The movements of the tribal alliance may have been identified using a tunnel that we could not find.
Whatever it is, he is smarter than a gorilla devil.
Let’s stay alert because we don’t know what will happen.
A few hours later, the main force of our tribal alliance entered Polaris.
At the end of the long wasteland is our target, the Imperial Arena.
“Hey! “Hey!”
The horsemen were trying to increase their speed a little more, but they encountered an unexpected ambush.
The ground where the horse steps on is hollow. Tentacles that looked like carnivorous plants sprouted out, tying up the entire bodies of the horse and warrior.
“Ugh!”
Hee hee hee!
From Noble mtl dot com
The warrior and horse, like insects caught in the Venus flytrap, scream.
Lakhe quickly ran over and cut off his tentacle with a curved sword.
“Go, thank you!”
The horse was injured by the sharp thorns at the end of the tentacles, but the warrior was fine.
– Lakhe.
“I couldn’t figure it out because this person didn’t move at all until I stepped on it. Sorry.”
– It’s okay.
Lakhe, who has superhuman senses, couldn’t even notice.
Has life stopped until an external shock arrives?
“It’s not a trap made with magic, it’s a living thing, so it can’t be detected.”
Harry, who was watching the tentacles, scratched his head.
“Well, does that mean we have to step on each step one by one?”
Noah’s face turned white as he slowly approached us.
– There is no need for that.
You can’t get it wrong from the start.
‘Malak’s Realm (Lesser)’ blessing was used.
It is a blessing to be used in times like these.
Ssaaa!
Blue clouds dropped rain from the air.
Wow…
As the ground becomes wet, tentacles resembling flowers creep out.
Could it be that he couldn’t stand the cold? In any case, neutralization was a success.
The warriors took the opportunity and swung their swords to cut off the tentacles.
Did you pass stage 1?
Fight! Sigh!
… As soon as I thought that, the bug people hiding in the tunnel came out and spit out spit as sharp as needles.
“Stop it!”
Everyone immediately raised their shields and was fine, but the attack was quite harsh so they were slowly pushed back.
Because it was farther away than here, it couldn’t be suppressed right away.
It’s about 300 meters away, so Lakke might not notice.
“Twenty-eight. “I will handle it.”
Lake used his unique superhuman senses to find out the number of tunnels and rushed at them.
The insect people went back into the tunnel before Lakhe could reach them.
It’s not like whack-a-mole.
Spit attacks are focused on Lakhe.
“Tch.”
Of course, their attack could not pierce Lakhe’s skin. Although I felt bad.
Well, I just clicked one button.
The blue cloud moves in the direction where they are.
Even if you hide in a tunnel, you will come out when the water fills up inside.
Are you trying to sneakily hit and run?
As expected, the rain-soaked creatures trembled and stuck out their heads.
Shock!
Lakhe harvested their heads.
“Ha!”
Luna also helped with one hand.
The lightning shot from her fingertips chases down the bug people who have entered the tunnel.
‘Things with wings are moving!’
There is no time to rest.
Paya’s prayer is heard. She lowered her shoes to check on her situation.
Worshipers who looked like scarabs were heading towards our main unit carrying stones.
Mr. Lee. There are also flying units?
Tunnel Demon… It is a strong enemy. Is it true that he is a mid-level demon?
Even if he is a mid-level devil, I don’t think he is an ordinary guy. Could it be a guy who is about to become a high-ranking person, or a devil who has just recently become a high-ranking person?
I have a secret weapon, the Totem of Confusion. Let’s kill it today before it gets stronger.
“Shall we attack?”
Paya watches them with a solemn expression. It looks like they are going to order Dounteun to spew out a fireball at any moment.
– It is dangerous. Wait until the main unit arrives.
They are the military. It is different from other worshipers who just arm them and let them fight on their own.
There may be anti-aircraft means that can bring down the strongman.
“I will follow Malak’s words.”
– Stay hidden.
I moved my consciousness back to Totem No. 3.
– Flight-type worshipers are coming this way. You have to prepare.
Lake nodded and loudly conveyed my words to everyone.
Unlike the last battle, which ended with Mujiseong Rake dropping, I have a feeling that it will be a fierce battle.
