127 – Chapter 41. Lower the gate shutter – 2
– 128 –
The air battleship Arumanan occupied the southern sky of the cutoff space.
Aruma Nan, who not only seized air supremacy but also cleared everything up by bombardment to the ground, prepared her ranks while waiting for her main force to join.
I summoned the main body and escorted Arumanan with a helicopter unit from a suitable height, observing the situation.
After a while, the main force of the Spirit Army came to the southern plains.
Including large tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, several helicopters, two small aircraft carriers smaller than Arumanan, airships, and even infantry units.
The spirits that filled the plain were arranged in front of the cut off space.
“Helicopter troops. I got a call asking you to step back for a while.”
After walking away from the disconnected space along Arumanan, someone walked out in front of the main unit.
I couldn’t see it well from afar, but it looked like a higher spirit.
He raised his arms high and fired a flare into the sky.
A small and small flame embroidered the darkened sky.
I just wanted to do something like that, and as I waited and waited, I felt a tremendous amount of magical power behind me.
Kuguwaang- Oooh!
A magical bombardment from somewhere mercilessly hit the wall of the disconnected space.
The surface of the dark dark purple hemispherical dome started to oscillate and crack.
One side of the disconnected space slowly collapsed, revealing the ominous dark red light hidden inside.
Beep-
A high, sharp beep echoed across the battlefield.
The tanks advance on a heavy track.
The gap was widened by the continuous bombardment from behind.
Enemies pour out through the dark crevices.
When the tank and self-propelled guns saw it, they fired fire.
The demons that came out are spraying blood and dying.
Die and die again.
All of this happened in just a few seconds.
Demons are pushed out without properly carrying weapons, let alone arsenal.
A spirit army that relentlessly attacks when enemies see it.
Arumanan and the helicopter unit also joined them and bombarded the demons.
I put my hand on the lever of the chain gun to join them, then suddenly.
I felt uncomfortable.
A demon caught my eye.
The expression on his face as he charged towards the enemies without a weapon was castrated with fear and fear.
Seeing his calm face, as if he had come to rest for a while after working for a long time, his hands suddenly became cold.
Even though his whole body was burned by the lightning that fell from the sky, his calm did not collapse.
His spine shuddered, and a cold sweat ran down his face.
The demons with the same expression were running through the cracked gap.
Every time they died, the hazy energy that flowed back into the cut-off space.
This is not good.
“Arumanan! Stop the bombardment immediately!”
“This is HQ. Miss Fire. What’s wrong?”
“You can’t kill the demons that are coming out now! Something inside…….”
But my words were drowned out by the noise of the battlefield.
After that, the attack continued for several minutes.
The demons died countless times.
At some point, ominous magic spread across the battlefield.
As if everyone felt it, the communication was engulfed in silence for a moment,
Then it was filled with urgent voices.
“Something doesn’t feel right! Back the line!”
“All aircraft units, please return to the flagship in turn!”
While the other helicopters and planes were on their way, I approached the gap in the opposite direction.
Blessed directly by God, Arumanan and I were able to resist to some extent the magic, poetry, space, and dark magic used by the demons.
A bright red river flowed under the corpses of demons piled up in the crevice.
There was no blood flowing.
A sticky, solid, slime-like object was swallowing up demons’ corpses and growing in size.
And the object stretched out hundreds or thousands of pointed tentacles in all directions.
The tanks and spirits that formed the line at the forefront were pierced by tentacles.
「What is that!」
“Shoot! Shoot!”
I also blew a Hellfire with maximum power, but it didn’t leave a single scorch mark on the surface, possibly because the magic didn’t work on him.
When the attack did not work well, the spirit army became a mess in an instant.
Even if they retreated and attacked, they were hit by the tentacles that crawled back and counterattacked, and their weapons exploded and the spirits disappeared.
“It is difficult to maintain altitude! Something is pulling you!”
When I looked at the carrier that received the call, a thin red thread was attached to it.
The aircraft carrier tried to raise its altitude, but it began to drop its nose downwards due to lack of strength.
I drove the main body at the highest speed and headed towards the carrier.
“[[Hellfire]]”
Magic energy swirled around the Hellfire armament, and Hellfire ate it and grew.
“[[Wind]]”
A tornado swept towards the thin, tough stem of the tentacles.
The wind path from the armament to the tentacles wrapped around black hellfire, creating a black flame storm.
The tentacles engulfed in flames withdrew and let go of the carrier.
The released carrier raised its altitude and retreated to the rear.
And, of course, my body was subjected to a concentrated attack from the tentacles.
The tentacles attacking from all directions were blocked with a shield and a Hellfire that spread widely, aiming for the timing to escape.
After all, the bait is the best way to divert attention.
“Drone shot!”
When the hangar eject button was pressed, the few remaining drones and mini-helicopters jumped out one by one and poured rockets into their tentacles.
It will have little effect, but if you can buy a little time…….
“Huh?”
The tentacles hit directly by the rocket exploded.
The falling red shards were terrifying.
UAVs sent out with the preparedness to be destroyed returned safely to the main unit and exchanged information with the main unit’s spirits.
Short but clear analysis.
Like the giant last time, he was a man with little magic.
“I need a physical attack. Everyone, don’t attack with magic, but use real rockets and missiles!”
「Larger!」
According to my words, the movement of the army gradually changed.
The helicopter unit flew up again and fired multiple rockets.
Fighting fighters from Arumanan fired missiles one at a time and fell by tentacles, and armored vehicles that had fallen behind them rescued tanks with live machine gun fire.
The tentacles were destroyed one by one, and the roar of a monster was heard.
However, since there aren’t many weapons that can deal physical damage, the tentacle slime is starting to recover again.
Creating monsters that devour the souls and bodies of their own people.
The author of the Demon King seems to be extremely self-destructive.
By the way, do you have a weapon to properly catch that tentacle slime?
I think it would take 10 big bombs that caught the monster tank in the past to completely get rid of it.
You need a large weapon loaded with live ammunition.
A very large weapon.
The Spirit Army regrouped and counterattacked, but the main guns of tanks and self-propelled artillery were all weapons that shoot magic, and the only live ammunition was machine guns or personal firearms carried by infantrymen.
I wonder if the bullets will run out in a little while.
I wanted to unite with a car and carry a chainsaw, but if I run into that size, it’s a bit of a bummer if I make a mistake.
So I was not ready to go out and I was exhausting the rockets mounted on the drones and mini-helicopters, but I got a call from Arumanan.
“Misfire-sama. Step back!”
Did you find a way?
After finishing the last check with Hellfire, he turned back and quickly ran away.
The tentacles that were chasing me were caught up in the wind that I had caused and withdrew, while Arumanan aimed the main gun at the tentacles.
Yes. No matter how high your magic resistance, if you get hit by Arumanan’s main gun, you won’t be okay.
Because the strongly condensed magic has a physical reality to some extent.
The terrifying magical powers gathered clearly.
Arumanan’s main gun, which had blue magic, poured out powerful magic.
A beam with enough power to leave a long scratch on the ground penetrated the slime’s body.
The aftermath of the explosion on the ground was felt all the way here.
The infantry of the Spirit Army, who had retreated from a distance, could not withstand the wind pressure and were tossed around.
“What about slime?”
As the hazy dust settled, a slime with a split body appeared.
Cheers were heard over the communicator.
However, it took less than a minute for the cheers to turn into sighs.
The split slimes moved and devoured each other, and then they were restored to their original state.
“Ready to bombard! There may be a way by removing the magician who will be in the cut-off space, so I will secure an infiltration space!”
The bombardment that created a gap in the cut-off space flew once again.
However, the slime blocked the space and survived the bombardment like a gatekeeper blocking the door.
I didn’t have time to make a niche elsewhere.
In the meantime, the damage of the spirit forces will be severe.
How do you do it?
I was chewing my lips and thinking about it, but Arumanan sent me a direct message.
“Miffy. Now the spirits of the Fire Snake Artillery Brigade are asking me to use their weapons. I need your help.”
“That little cannon?”
“It’s not small! If you’re talking about this guy-“
“Oh, I’m sorry. But Arumanan’s main gun doesn’t work either, can you do any damage with it?”
“Once you come, you’ll know.”
I couldn’t think of any other way, so I returned to Arumanan.
As soon as I landed on her deck because I didn’t have time, an intermediate level fire spirit that I knew well approached me.
“Pilseung. Miss Fire. Help us fire our cannons. We will take care of that monster for sure.”
Some of the fire spirits around him were watching this with tense expressions.
“I see. How can I help you?”
The fire spirits breathed a sigh of relief and led me to the back of the cannon.
The cannon was aimed at the ground across the railing.
The cannon’s barrel, engraved with colorful flame patterns, had the element of fire condensed to its fullest.
As if the whole barrel was made of fire magic stones.
“!!”
Upon closer inspection, the flame pattern, which I thought was a simple pattern, was densely embedded with fire magic stones.
“This is… ….”
Intermediate Fire Spirit had a smile on the lizard’s face.
“I need the power of fire that Misfire has.”
“Load complete!”
A low-level fire spirit with a shape that symbolizes the shape of fire exclaimed vigorously.
With the help of two intermediate fire spirits who are my direct subordinates, when I infuse magical energy into the large fire manastone at the back of the cannon, the inside of the cannon filled with flames like a well-heated furnace.
“Whew.”
It’s hot, it’s hot.
Even if I fanned it with my hands, only a hot wind blew and the heat only increased.
The water bottle placed nearby had already become lukewarm, and the spirits of other attributes were not readily approaching.
After taking off my coat and concentrating on injecting magical energy, I was ready to fire in a while.
“Magic injection complete! I’ll go in with precision aiming!”
After taking a few steps back from the cannon and drinking the water brought by the crew, an officer spirit of the Fire Snake Artillery Brigade approached.
“It is a cannonball that has a substance and can draw the power of an element into a powerful physical phenomenon. It will be enough to hit.”
“You will have to.”
I’m so tired of shooting one shot, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll cry.
Following the cannon’s barrel, a magic circle floated up. It is said that it is not a magic for attack, but a magic that makes the power of the shells stronger and faster.
The diameter of the magic circle was several times that of the barrel at the back where I was, and it decreased as it went forward, and when it reached the front, the size of the magic circle became as small as the gun barrel.
Arumanan found the best place to fire and held the position.
Slime also felt something bad, so it stretched out its thick tentacles and stabbed it this way.
Helicopters and fighters destroyed the slime’s tentacles by pouring out all the remaining ammunition.
“Aim complete!”
“Shoot!”
With the command to fire without delay, the magic circle faded from behind.
Courre…
The sound of the heavy object rolling became faster and faster, and the shells were fired at a speed that was hard to keep up with.
Arumanan’s massive body tilted slightly due to recoil.
The cannonball that far exceeded the speed of sound was smashed into the slime’s body at the moment it clicked.
Greetings-
The red monster struggled and screamed.
Unlike the magic attack that regenerated after being crushed and fragmented, the body that had been hit by the shell shrank and burned.
As the slime rolled around with a glow, the outer wall of the disconnected space was engulfed in huge flames.
The secret weapon of the demons collapsed with just one shot of the bombardment.
