57 Tue – Shaggy(1)
“This is… this is a word…”
His breathing was heavy and his words were shaky.
He had just woken up and succeeded in running as fast as he could to get here even with a sense of reality that had not yet returned properly.
‘I can still breathe now.’
I managed to catch my breath and buy time to calm my mind.
He chased away those who were chasing him, and there was only silence around him.
The place he hurriedly came to was a forest full of trees from the Demon Realm that seemed to have dried up and twisted.
‘After all, if you wake them up, there will be no problem with the escort force.’
He ran away, but he didn’t come without a thought.
This place was a kind of seal.
Like himself, the seal that sealed the beings of the past.
He was thinking of waking up the forces sleeping here and replenishing his forces against the rapidly changing situation.
“Arise! Loyal dogs of the Demon King!”
He moved his magical power and used the spell hung on the seal.
The spell worked as normal and started to glow.
He smiled faintly.
Those buried here were elites who knew as much as their combat power.
It will surely give you the strength to find out what is going on in this land.
“Okay. With this, those lowly traitors…”
Seeing the jet-black armor slowly appearing, he grinned.
The summoned soldiers, of course, kept their past as they were.
“uh?”
But at that moment.
Something that ripped through the sound and flew past his horns, or ‘smashed’ it.
“aah!”
He grabbed the broken horns in excruciating pain.
The sound of ripping through the air was heard late.
He twisted his face and turned around.
“Yeah… these bastards! You bastards!”
As a high-ranking demon, the one who blew off his horn was a lowly, low-level monster that he could not even dare to deal with.
Somewhere among humans, they were called by the name of play.
The problem is that they were the ones who wanted to attack right after they woke up from the seal.
“Our name, Ashcrud.”
“Uh, what…”
He was shocked first by the fact that the gnolls followed him without even noticing, and second by the fact that they were talking.
‘What the hell?’
Only then did he take a closer look at them.
It was clearly a figure of Nol that was nothing like his own memories.
But something was different. The equipment they wore, or the mysterious weapon they had in their hand.
“It won’t waste time. Go ahead and kill me.”
At that time, someone very tall among the gnolls took off the hood.
He looked at his hooded opponent and groaned.
They were called kobolds by Earthlings, because they were similarly low-level monsters.
“Shoot!”
When the Gnoll leader gave the order, the fired bullets began to fire.
In response to this, he moved his magical power to float a purple shield in front of him.
The large and powerful bullets that could pierce even the heavy tanks of Earthlings made the shield crack gold, but it could not break through.
“I, the Demon King’s army commander Karka, are like you guys!”
His body, which had exploded in power, floated a little, and at the same time, his magic began to burn.
It was a power worthy of the dignity that once led his army and conquered a continent.
[That kind of power is difficult to penetrate with normal bullets. Use the beam weapon]
“beam.”
The gnolls received a command ringing in their heads.
The new weapon he had prepared in advance aimed at his body wrapped in burning magic.
“Die, you little ones!”
[…that’s funny. Who is the micro?]
A blue beam was shot from the aimed barrel towards the huge flame bullet fired by the demon Karka.
The demon Karka’s eyes widened.
The beam dismantled and dismantled the flaming bullets as it was, even smashed the shield, and pierced his astonished body as it was.
“It’s easy.”
That was the end of it. One of the commanders of the Demon King’s army, waking up from a long sleep, was futilely killed by the low-level demons who had been ignoring him like this.
“Now, it’s your turn.”
“I know.”
The kobold snorted.
Neither of them had any interest in Karka’s body.
Even in the past, he was a high-ranking demon that he would not even dare to look at.
“Huh…I can see it now. Wasn’t it all about the demon king’s spell? It’s just a barbaric and light spell that doesn’t know the true meaning of this powerful demon.”
The radiant power spread out in a complex pattern.
The kobolds, who came forward, stood in front of the hounds of the Demon King’s army, who had been released from the seal but had not yet decided who had the authority to command, and succeeded in reversing and hacking this ancient and ancient spell at once.
“Come on. Your new owner is me, not the Demon King.”
The kobolds grinned and commanded an army that was now listening to his orders.
The name of the Demon King is an absolute name for those who once lived in this land.
But not now. Because now they had beings greater than the Demon King.
“Hmm. Isn’t it a waste to just throw it away?”
The kobolds scoffed at Karka’s tragic corpse lying on the floor, then grabbed the staff in her hand and stabbed it.
At the same time, the body’s hands twitched and moved.
“Even if you become a rotting corpse, fight for that handsome demon king wherever you go. Now, humans from another world have invaded with their legions, so kill those who disturb the demon realm.”
The enchanted corpse squirmed violently and got up.
The corpse began to move with the legions of the past, which began to march.
“Promise, keep it.”
“I know. It’s an agreement between the players. Can someone like us betray us?”
Just before parting, the kobold nodded as if tired of the boss Gnoll’s words.
They were now going to jointly attack the Allied Forces on Earth.
It is a relationship between units and units that cannot be united by nature, but it was a strategic choice to defeat a larger enemy.

“Isn’t this a breach of contract? We’ll definitely stay in the garrison and escort the researchers after the battle…”
“After all, that’s a garrison there too.”
On the road crossing the road that the main force had crushed and polished with armored vehicles and tanks, Robert sighed and calmed the discontent of the crew.
In fact, there was nothing to object to. Our mission is to escort the researchers, as they go there together to the front line.
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
“I think it’s my mission.”
After I saved my life, the researcher who introduced himself as Antoniff and became close after getting a little closer said that he should be afraid.
“If you study and analyze them, you can find out a lot. Actually, there are many methods of destruction that have been found that way.”
“Yes.”
I couldn’t deny it. In fact, since thorough research and analysis have been done so far, we have been able to fight them more effectively.
The only thing that bothered me was that they were no longer ordinary monsters.
With my help, the Legion continued to evolve beyond common sense, and toppled the far-reaching great-for-nothing bacterium.
Changes and growth beyond common sense were the characteristics of units and players.
“There’s been a lot of weird stuff lately, but we’ll figure it out.”
I kept my mouth shut as I watched him struggling with hope.
I tried to figure out my subject. I’m still just a civilian with little power.
Even if they were going to do something, it was something that talented people like Cha Ji-yeon had to do.
There were also military vehicles running next to me.
Researchers belonging to the state were also moving together now.
“Don’t worry.”
“I’m really worried…”
“We will definitely win. We were attacked on the way, but our firepower is sufficient.”
A commander, half-haired, reassured us with a rant.
It must be true that firepower is sufficient.
However, the problem is that firepower is not everything in this war.
“Originally, if you flirt like that, you’re going to have a problem. Our superiors first discovered and destroyed the enemy’s detachment that was about to surprise you right away.”
“Don’t raise strange flags.”
I entered the barracks assigned to me first, leaving Robert listening to Cox’s bruise.
Then he pulled out two things from his pocket.
The one held in the left hand indicates if there are any units or players around this area.
Fortunately, the ore did not shine.
The one in my right hand is another sacrifice the Legion gave me.
This was purely for my safety.
“What is the Legion doing now?”
[Still engaged in exploration activities. Because the digestion of the large colony is not finished]
“…reconnaissance activities?”
[You must completely digest the colony to reveal the passageway that it is blocking with its body]
The corps did not have to spend energy to dig a detour by calculating the efficiency, nor did they physically cut the large colony and dismantle it into pieces.
Instead, I decided to explore other places during this rainy time.
It was the terrestrial detection ability of the demon land puppies that helped make that decision.
[The Legion, which can now use its sensing ability to detect even the slightest flow in the ground, finds a strange thing in the wall and decides to dig into it]
The Legion decided to dig it up, and mobilized more than a dozen mining legionaries to clear the path.
“…Is it a new labyrinth?”
What was hidden there was a cavity.
Another space where we are not sure whether it is connected to where we are now or not.
“Kyaak!”
The now-familiar Bacillus Infestation attacked the Legionnaires.
[It went well. This is an opportunity to test whether we can use the psychosensitivity ability targeting the people of the large colony of annihilation bacteria that we obtained this time.]
Of course, to us now, ordinary destroyers are no longer a threat.
