Episode 113 – Corps (13)
“This, this can’t happen…”
The fierce attack suddenly faded away. They were overwhelmed and in despair because their attacks could not pierce the defenses of the super-giant creatures.
“Your feelings are felt. Are you curious about how this is even possible?”
“Ha, yes.”
Lucy, who had a strange smile on her face, looked back at Raon. Raon, who was barely allowed freedom of voice, couldn’t hide his thoughts or feelings, so he had to affirm Lucy’s ridicule in the end.
To be honest, even after being caught by Lucy, I couldn’t help but be curious. What the hell is the identity of the Demon King’s army led by Lucy, and how did it grow in this way? Because Lucy and the Demon King were truly beings that I had never even imagined.
“It’s a simple story. No matter how much mana you accumulate, there is a limit to the area of your body. It is a matter of course that a huge body of hundreds of meters can hold more total energy than a body that is less than 2 meters long.”
Anyway, since Raon’s everything is now in her hands, Lucy didn’t hide it and told her why.
The biggest reason Lucy was assured of victory was the difference in weight class. Lucy, who can invest and abstain by controlling nutrients at will, was also able to control the amount of energy she put into the battlefield.
The extra-large steel core that a super-giant creature could withstand produced tremendous output, and the elves had no skills to counter this output.
“Asmodians devised and implemented their own group tactics, it is expected that they would have considerable countermeasures against allied aerial bombardment, but elves are not. When it rots and rots, evolution stops and only regresses. If so, weeding out and perishing is the natural course.”
Laughing at the elves, Lucy ordered an all-around bombardment of the rushing escorts.
Although small, the escorts, which were tens of meters long and weighed thousands of tons, also had a big and strong heart in their arms, so they were able to emit concentrated energy by attaching light cannons made by Lucy to imitate firearms.
“How on earth is that a living creature? It’s just a weapon made for war.”
“you’re right. All objects are just tools for effective combat. All of us are born and exist only for that, so everything is only one, for Him.”
Raon gnashed his teeth at the sight of his compatriots falling away like ants trampled by the demon army’s artillery fire.
However, Lucy rather reveals her teeth and smiles, pointing at the sky with her hand. Raon’s eyes shook as he realized that Lucy was serious when he said that all of this was for only one being.
“Who the heck is he? The demon lord of the terrible abyss, whoever you serve… I can’t believe it.”
“He’s just my master, but the locals always called him a devil.”
Lucy indirectly informed Raon of Changhyeon’s existence. The reason was not too grand. It’s just that his expression and emotions of surprise and despair were so addictive.

“no! They are our…”
A great forest devastated in one blow. Burning trees and plants fell down one by one, and the corpses of animals and elves were scattered here and there on the overturned ground.
The bombardment did not discriminate between new warriors and elders of the clan. Meanwhile, an elf warrior whose lower body had completely disappeared struggled with his trembling arms.
More than anything else, it was a great shock that the war ended with a single shelling without a proper battle.
“Release the barrier. Seoyoon Kim, please step out.”
However, the Demon King’s army led by Lucy didn’t even care about that and moved forward. In the past and now, the only goal is to invade the stronghold of the elves, occupy it, and trample on them.
To carry out the order, Kim Seo-yoon, who climbed on top of an escort, stood in front of a translucent barrier, wearing a mask and holding Gungnir in her hand.
The elves think of this barrier as their last bastion, but Lucy has already done all the calculations to break through it.
[GungnirㆍMaximum output deployment]
Kim Seo-yoon, who used Gungnir, which was entirely made by pressing and carving the dragon’s heart, as a kind of auxiliary power device, put the output into her own abilities.
The ability to forcibly manipulate the opponent’s magical flow. As it struck the barrier, the entire barrier, the only barrier protecting the interior from invaders, was shaken.
“This is not enough!”
“The barrier is shaking!”
The assembled elves were horrified to see the shield shaken by the invaders from the sky.
They firmly believed in the ancient spell that had been handed down for a long time, but there were already too many things that they didn’t know about in the outside world.
“If the barrier collapses, fire continuously until it is devastated.”
Seeing that, Lucy prepared her troops.
After the barrier was lifted, the plan was to crush it completely with artillery fire. Although they brought a large force, it was inefficient and there was no need to engage in close combat with them.
“This.”
However, when the barrier is completely shaken and about to collapse.
There was a variable on the side of the elves. It was a variable that Lucy hated, interfering with her own calculations.
“The World Tree!”
“This is a miracle!”
Elves, on the other hand, cheered and rejoiced, calling the variable that popped out at the moment of imminentness a miracle.
With swaying branches, a great energy flowed from the tree in the middle of their home, strengthening the barrier. The will of the world tree, the tip of the root of which is connected to the barrier, re-established and repaired the crumbling barrier.
“It is a seedling planted by our ancestors when they moved here. But in the last few years, the World Tree hasn’t made a single move.”
Raon also sighed in amazement at the scene. Thanks to that, it was a bonus that only Lucy’s face was crumpled.
One’s calculations are miscalculated, and one’s purpose is thwarted. Because only the things Lucy hates happen.
“Uh, what?! I can’t open any more!”
“It doesn’t matter. Just because shelling is impossible doesn’t mean you can’t fight. World Tree, burn that huge tree from the inside and cut it down.”
In response to Seoyoon Kim’s urgent voice, Lucy modified the plan, pushed back the escorts preparing for the bombardment, and placed the transports Island Alpha in the front.
There was still a hole in the barrier, so it was a will to fight from the inside by pouring ground troops into the gap.
“No one dares to block our way, his will.”
Island Alpha’s mouth fell open, and in front of Lucy’s eyes, there were holes the size of soccer fields in the screen.
The elves gathered in it and prepared to fight. Lucy didn’t particularly like them.
“It’s the same, you too. with that woman.”
“Stop the bullsh*t.”
“How are you different from Ibelia, who started a war for the goddess?”
Just before the assault, Lucy blocked Raon’s mouth as he was swearing at her.
who are you similar to? Lucy didn’t even care. Because what matters is not you. In the first place, the concept of good and evil is thin for Lucy. It was just moving because it was profitable, and who was bad and good was not a consideration.
Even if it’s bad, you can save it, and if it’s good, you can kill it without mercy.
[Execution of the class.]
Soon, through the cracks, the elves’ resistance broke through and numerous Demon King’s forces rushed inside. Lucy was also one of them, and soon the true war between the elves and the demon army began inside the barrier.
[Killed all. Without leaving a single one.]
Landing on the ground, Lucy’s eyes flashed, and numerous Demon King’s troops rushed out and collided with the elves who resisted.
Then, with the power of the spirits commanded by the elves, the earth twisted, the trees wriggled, and the air vibrated.
“This is our land. No one can break us here!”
The elves who have lived here for a long time have communed with the spirits and made the entire Great Forest one with them.
In other words, fighting the elves here means fighting the entire great forest with this vast area. Of course, a normal opponent would not be able to fight against this Mother Nature and win.
“There is nothing I can’t do.”
However, the opponent was a being that breaks and eats everything that lives and breathes.
[Ah, ah!!]
“What is it! The spirits of the earth!”
The spirits of the earth, whose origins are in the land of the Great Forest, worked hard to manipulate the land and attack the demon army. They opened their eyes wide for a moment and screamed in agony.
[it hurts! Poison, poison!]
“Poison?!”
The bewildered elves panicked and panicked. What they saw was huge monster ants spitting something out on the ground in a place occupied by the demon king’s army.
The stomachs of those monster ants were extremely swollen, and they were randomly spitting out the sticky mucus on the ground in the Great Forest.
“Start from one point, so that it can cover the whole place soon.”
Those ants Lucy brought to occupy the Great Forest are construction soldiers who build nests. The mucus contained in their stomachs are soldiers Lucy once improved on Nano, a cell unit demon, and are cell-type organisms that are not controlled and only aim for predation and proliferation.
As they burrow into the earth, devour and proliferate at random, the spirits of the earth scream.
“This, such a wicked one!”
The elves, who only then understood Lucy’s intentions, were shocked. Their common sense, which considered this nature to be stronger than anything else, could never tolerate Lucy’s way of trampling on even nature and devastating everything.
“This is a temple! We bet everything!”

Naturally, they got angry and fought more fiercely. They, too, had something to protect, so they threw their lives without hesitation just like the demon army.
“…”
Lucy didn’t like the way the elves were awakened by her actions and attacked. I hoped that they would collapse and sink as they were, stained with fear and hesitation, so that they could win more efficiently, but the opposite result came out.
“I think there must be something else to make them fear you. Something that could shake their strong faith.”
And while watching that, he advised Lucy that a variable was needed in the Demon King’s army.
***
All of Lucy’s plans worked successfully. First of all, the opponent was not good against Lucy.
Lucy’s weakness, I think, is intelligence. Lucy gets stronger the more information she has on the opponent and the more detailed she is, but when the opponent knows Lucy’s information and responds, her instant judgment slows down.
The elves, who lived in isolation in such a state, had a hard time defeating Lucy in the first place.
However, they are also the beings who eventually ruled the area. They also had a strong hope to unite themselves, and based on that, they resisted.
“So destroy that hope.”
“The world tree of the elves, if we destroy that giant tree, our allies will be able to gain an advantage. However, the strong barrier surrounding the World Tree cannot be penetrated unless you work slowly.”
“Raon, whom you kept alive, use him.”
I instructed Lucy, who mentioned the low probability, to destroy the World Tree using Raon. I don’t know why Lucy bothered to keep him alive until now, but anyway, he’s completely controlled by Lucy.
“I will.”
On the screen, Lucy’s eyes twinkled in the imminent battlefield.
