100 Tue – Evolution, Not Corruption (8)
“Pull back until it is restarted. Now, I will end this war. Capture Menas even now.”
Eve, with a twinkling of eyes, commanded the legionaries who flew forward at once from the throne in the middle of the nest.
In the meantime, the high-ranking servants were quickly escaping the scene by recovering the body of Reina, who had fallen after being hit with the right to kill.
The magic bombs that the wizards fired to chase after them rained, but the high-ranking servants who blocked them by resonating the barrier succeeded in escaping with ease.
Eve has now turned her attention away from them. After all, Reina can be revived by putting her soul back into her body and connecting her with the Hive consciousness.
The miraculous and nonsensical process was only moving a part of her body to Eve, the Hive Mind of the Legion.
At the same time, the massive Hive consciousness was once again activated. Numerous legionaries rushing with a pounding ground were rushing towards Menas.
‘Sweep it all at once.’
The plan was the same as before. To mobilize the entire force to wipe out the entire area.
Eve knew that Menas was the core and center of the human forces that were the dominant species in this world, and she knew very well that humans were unable to move as quickly as her.
Besides, Menas has already lost its defensive function and is in a state of extreme confusion.
If such a place is blown away, humans will not be able to assemble properly and will be swept away.
‘Three million medium-sized flying species capable of high-speed flight.’
The first force mobilized as an advance squad toward such Menas was 3 million flying species.
The overall shape is based on an insect, resembling a long-lived wasp the size of a bull.
It only had a hard and light carapace all over its body, and its two pairs of wings allowed it to fly faster.
Its main weapon is a long, pointed stinger that is like a spear to humans. Its six legs all had sharp raptor claws.
‘Make them crazy.’
Eve, who smiled and looked at Menas, who was slowly starting to see, gave the order to fire.
They had only one purpose: to unite them and prevent them from even properly rebelling.
“Everyone…! Evacuate everyone!”
“They are flying animals!”

Menas, who had no wind, of course fell into great chaos.The monsters flying by dyeing the distant expanse black, flocked to this place that had not been able to recover from the damage that had just happened in the middle of the night when the bright full moon was shining brightly.
“Now I have to admit. They’re an army. Not a bunch of beasts, but an army with a clear purpose, type, and tactics!”
“Restart the defenses right now! Evacuate those who haven’t evacuated yet!”
The wizards rushed to respond. It was exactly the reaction Eve wanted.
There might have been a way if they had scattered and ran away without looking back. However, since they have vowed to face the never-ending flood of their own, all that is left is to die after a grueling fight.
Thousands of howitzer shells they fired from across the city cut through the dark air and locked themselves in the flying bells.
The flying species that Eve controlled at the same time moved as agile as one body to minimize damage.
In the first place, he did not even have a fire net and had no intention of being hit by such a disorderly shooting attack.
“…Roses. Are you ready?”
“Yeah, right. But did the player really use the kill right?”
“Unfortunately. But just in case. The right to kill has a lot of room.”
Dark, who had been watching the scene from the roof of the Parliament building, which had been partially destroyed by Reina’s shelling, nodded to Roses, who approached him with a tone of cold anger.
After returning from a brief absence, Roses swallowed dry saliva.
I was dissatisfied with Dark’s strange orders forcibly, but in the current situation, it was a miracle that there was a way.
“What the hell are you going to do with them?! They’re just ordinary worms with no power!”
“Don’t be rude. They may be powerless, but they have hot blood to sacrifice for us.”
Dark turned away from the battlefield.
Embarrassed, Roses called for him, but he gave him a shot and left.
“This is not my time.”
Roses, who had been staring blankly at the back, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly headed to a place other than the battlefield.
The most important thing to him was his own life.
“…”
After breaking up with Roses, Dark walked without a word.
A massive offensive that raided the entire city.
The western part of the city they attacked has already been turned into a battlefield. Evacuation was not easy due to the large population.
The evacuation procession of frantically fleeing citizens was concentrated in the east.
There was a large gymnasium where people were gathered.
About 1,000 people, young and old, gathered together by lying by saying that Roses would open the gate and allow him to escape.
They were trembling with anxiety, waiting for them to leave here.
[The player was greatly embarrassed by the enemy’s offensive and there was a moment of noise]
[First, amplify the magic. Open the gate according to your plan, and make a fight between monsters.]
As he walked down that path blankly, the letters flickered in front of his eyes as he headed for the dance hall.
It was an instruction from a being who had given him quite useful power.
“I will.”
Dark muttered blankly as he entered the surrounding screams and shouts.
His player wasn’t really that good. In his own words, he is the princess of the clan and boasted that he would become the leader of the clan in the future.
Even to the still young Dark, the player seemed young and inexperienced.
But the power was certainly real. Dark believed that the only way to overcome this situation was to combine his powers with the player.
A golden cup sent as a ‘gift’. And drinking the blood contained in it, the Dark inherited the player’s power and escaped from the human body.
Because of that, I now know what that power is.
“Oh, Chairman?! Oh my god.”
“The Chairman is here!”
The people who were waiting in the dance hall trembling with anxiety cheered when Dark appeared alone.
As long as he appears directly in a high position, it means that they will not be abandoned.
And above all else, trust in the young and capable Dark was high from the beginning.
‘This… this is for a cause. This is unavoidable.’
The moment I saw those people. For the first time, his eyes, which had been cold like ice, trembled.
It was completely different from when they massacred all those designated as units, even children.
It was natural. They are their own adversaries. But now, the people in front of him were citizens who believed in him and followed him.
‘I, I am not corrupt. This is right…’
Cursing this, he took something out of the middle. It’s kind of a hall. This too was a bounty.
Its effect is to sacrifice blood and replace the power contained in it with magical power.
To the citizens who were wondering what they were doing, Dark activated a magic.
That magic was magic that did not exist in this world, blood magic.
A dark bloody magic flowed from his body as he lowered his head.
*
“Is there such a thing as a mysterious power, a treasury that was hidden until the very end?”
While Dark went to the gym, Eve, who was commanding the legionnaires, smiled faintly.
The slaughter continues. It was bursting with the magic of the wizards, but at least it was only a handful.
It took less than a day to make, and the wizards who had been practicing magic for more than several decades were pierced and snatched to death by the medium-sized flying-class legionnaires.
[Enemy units’ strength suddenly increased]
“I’ll have to catch it and analyze it.”
Of course, the opponents weren’t rude either. There were units that invaded the battlefield from a while ago.
They belonged to the same side as the Dark, and their appearance was clearly similar to that of a local human. He wore a sword and used magic.
‘But the taste of blood was completely different.’
They have some pretty stellar moves and have shown quite effective combat against legionnaires.
An enemy unit that appeared to be a knight was captured.
Three nearby legionnaires pierced his chest, neck, and legs with a stinger from the front and back, but even in that state, he swung his sword and slashed the legionaries as if he didn’t know pain or fear of death.
“I can feel the thick form of the blood. It’s interesting.”
Eve, of course, was greedy for something new: their power.
[…Attempted kidnapping, but he escapes]
“All the magic power has disappeared from the dead body. So make sure to capture it.”
The problem is that at a certain point in time, their power gets stronger and stronger.
Through it, Eve confirmed that they were interconnected in some way. They tried to capture it, but there was a limit with only ordinary flying species without a form.
“…isn’t that easy?”
On the other side of the city, Eve, seeing the bloody magic that exploded like an explosion, felt the defeat of the advance squad.
In the vortex of magical power that was like a violent storm, I saw a being flying through the air with silver hair fluttering.
He cast magic. It was red, like thick blood, and it was heavy magic.
The flash of light that burst out destroyed the thousands of legionaries that filled the air with one stroke.
It was clearly not the magic of this world that Eve knew.
‘Is it possible to speak? Is that the greatest power?’
In that moment, Eve changed her goals. The priority was to find out the opponent’s power by putting all of his power into it.
All the flying species temporarily stopped their actions and flew towards the Dark.
He raised his magic once more and exploded a huge force.
“Uh, come on, help the chairman!”
“Come together. I can see the way!”
Those who had fallen into endless despair gathered by their side with hope.
They were astonished at the tremendous magic beyond common sense, but they continued to resist the Dark.
