192 Tue – The True Legion (7)
Frankly, the seemingly super-fast and huge growth has long been over with the focus on space expansion.
When Richard designed a new type of mass-produced corps soldiers, while collecting the data stored inside the corps, he did not feel any discomfort in producing the types of soldiers that fit his intentions.
However, in line with Eve’s growing ego, the growth of the Legion does not stop at simply increasing its size.
Now that he succeeded in increasing his size, he researched and applied a system or structure that manages the large size more efficiently.
Sub-minds with their own ego and some higher-ranking species also continued their own growth with experience and investment from the corps.
‘It’s still not enough. I can become more and stronger.’
I paused for a moment and, with a trembling heart, conveyed my intentions through the Hive Ceremony.
The momentum of Kang Do-yeon, who destroyed the giant skeleton dragon at once, was unusual. I know him even better because I can feel his feelings.
Now, the younger brother was growing up based on the conflict of his heart.
“Uh, what’s wrong with you?”
“Wait. On the spot.”
Lieutenant Levik approached me in surprise, perhaps surprised to see me stopped and stared blankly at the screen. But while I wasn’t paying attention, Eve, who stared at her, stopped her with a single word.
She flinched and stopped on the spot.
‘You won. what’s the problem?’
‘Because it’s not over yet.’
I still couldn’t take my eyes off the screen at Eve’s words conveyed through the Hive consciousness.
The head of the enemy was still alive. Although he was surrounded by dozens of superior species, including his younger brother, and tens of thousands of flying species.
[@?&☆%!!]
He swung his cane and shouted a whale whale. Of course you can’t hear Because we didn’t have data on the language of the demons.
‘Just kill me. It’s a bone, but if you break it up and throw it into the stomach of the supply, it can be digested.’
Kang Do-yeon had made up her mind no matter what he was talking about. When the younger brother raised the output once more, he seemed to be greatly embarrassed. It was barely visible to the eye.
‘We’ll take care of it. I don’t know what tricks that sly guy might do while he’s in trouble.’
Then Oh Yoon-ah came out. It was a reasonable strategy. We didn’t know much about him either. It’s also good to shatter it from a distance before doing anything stupid.
[@%*?÷!!]
Yuna Oh’s units, who were spread all over the place, were Wizard-type high-ranking servants from the Cheongsan tribe, and they raised their wands together with Oh Yoon-ah.
The mage’s direct fire guns through the corps-style collective resonance magic were fired in the form of dozens of energy beams towards him.
‘Clogged.’
‘Someone broke in.’
‘A very strong man.’
But the moment when such a condensed beam caused an explosion.
All of us who watched realized that this attack was not completely locked in. Everyone remained in tension until the moment the aftermath of the explosion faded away.
‘Demon?’
‘no. A little different…’
The smoke had gone and what appeared was a male demon with purple skin and large horns, along with silver armor. However, as I watched, Kang Do-yeon also read a different atmosphere from him.
*
[Emma, the Demon King… Maybe it’s Kaltas!]
“I don’t know what happened, but he succeeded in waking me up. And I heard a little bit.”
He muttered quietly as he was holding Asrald’s skull, which had been smashed and had only his head left, unable to withstand the direct fire.
The air and the earth rumble. Of course. He is the owner of this land, the demon realm. Everything in the demon realm is subject to the apex of demons. A being who was once sealed in exchange for the life of a hero has now returned.
Asrald, who had treated the previous demon king Kaltas indifferently, could not even speak to him.
“Where are the humans wearing the jingling divine power… Are these terrible bugs invading this land?”
[The Continents killed all the warriors last…]
“It feels alien. These are creatures that must have had hearts and blood, but with a few exceptions they are like automatons that move at the command of a shaman.”
With his golden eyes that had the power of insight to a certain extent, he immediately recognized the characteristics of the legionnaires that filled all four sides, including the sky and the earth.
In his eyes, the Hive consciousness of the Legion, where everyone was a single existence, was a bizarre and bizarre thing that radiated a fairly heterogeneous energy.
[I’m sure these guys are weird. However, it is right to get out of here for now. They’re not monsters to look at.]
“Kal’thas also told me that. If you, Asrald, are defeated in a hasty fight, save your life.
He snorted at Asrald’s words. Without letting Asrald’s alarmed spear stop, he raised his mana, which he had been showing openly, and fired it lightly in the form of a spear.
That magical spear flew to the nearest robber. Kang Do-yeon crossed the barrier as well as four wings to block the blow.
“You blocked it?”
Unable to grasp the form of the corps, which is slightly different from the magic that Kang Do-yeon possessed, he flinched slightly when Kang Do-yeon sacrificed his barrier to block his attack.
[Because let’s just run away!]
“Noisy. Shut up before you destroy it like this.”
Showing his aggressiveness, he raised his strength for a full-fledged battle. There were only enemies around here, but he didn’t care. As the owner of the Demon Realm, he can receive his magic power from this land itself.
[ah]
“…?”
But at that moment. His body went against his will and began to fall.
At the same time, a single word from Kal’thas flashed through Asrald’s mind.
The game and game officials say that there is a way to release the soul from the enemy’s body through question-and-answer dance.
[What about these monsters, the unit or the player… ah ah ah ah ah ah!]
Along with the death of the demon king’s body, Asrald’s head also began to fall toward the ground.
To the land where hundreds of thousands of legionnaires were waiting with their teeth and claws flashing.
[It’s interesting]
[Huh…]
But they never fell to the ground. Something grabbed the flabby body and Asrald’s skull.
[The power to forcibly dislodge the body is amazing. I didn’t respond at all.]
The demon king’s soul, which was separated from his body, used his magical powers to exercise physical power. With a translucent spirit body, he soared into the sky at once.
[Go back for now]
Still, it was impossible to continue fighting in a spirit state. High-ranking servants, including Kang Do-yeon, rushed to attack, but the Demon King, who leapt through the space using a spell, left.
‘The right to kill… is so useless.’
‘That’s not what we’re talking about.’
Oh Yoon-ah and Kang Do-yeon stared blankly at the empty space that had vanished in an instant.
It was Oh Yoon-ah, who earned points by hunting goblins as well, using the power to kill at Shin-woo’s order.
It’s just that the right to kill the opponent wasn’t very useful. It’s been a long time since the default has become the default for enemies with a certain level of skill anyway.
‘Although we failed to finish it all, we won and got what we wanted. Even now, the Demon World Federation, which has not stopped us, cannot stop us from expanding our nests and increasing our production.’
There was no time to be sorry for them in the first place. CNU, who defined this battle as a victory, restored the legionnaires for the first time.
Although the ending was not as good, the struggle was won. Overall, the most important thing for the corps is the fight for the ground, which is the weight class itself.
Since they succeeded in pushing back the enemy’s army, the corps’ nests that won the battle against both the Earth Allied Forces and the Demon Realm will expand and their explosive power will explode.
“…after.”
Kang Do-yeon took off her mask and looked at the setting sun and sighed.
Apart from the legion’s victory, it was a battle that had meaning for herself as well.
“If we had fought without the right to kill, would we have won?”
“I don’t know. It’s that strong.”
Likewise, Yoon-ah Oh, who took off her mask, approached and talked to her, but Kang Do-yeon just shook her head. She did not know that the last opponent she met was the Demon King, who ruled the land before the appearance of units and players, but she could still understand the severity that she could feel through her form.
‘I’d rather withdraw and rest. However, mass-produced legionnaires do not rest. Replenish nutrients, and immediately stretch to the side. The next destination is the southwestern part of the Demon Realm, which the demons called the Werewolves used as their territory.’
“…okay.”
Richard, who had no intention of examining her mood, urged her to act according to the plan he had designed through the Hive consciousness.
She sighed and moved her body, slumping down on the Supply, a super-large flying species that floated in the sky.
As if nothing had happened, the legionnaires who moved at once escaped from the spot where the fierce battle that changed the terrain occurred like low tide.
