Episode 150: Strange events (10)
I had been thinking about what might happen until the moment I entered the dungeon, but when something really happened, I had no choice but to step forward.
Currently, Lee Ji-yeon and other awakened people have been mobilized for a type of operation that has never been carried out, whether it will happen or not.
There was no choice. Someone had to step up and experiment. However, the problem was that the results became increasingly negative.
“No, there are too many of them. If we are not careful, our allies will be isolated!”
It seems like the awakeners have just landed, but local military officials are already talking about big trouble.
The core of the operation is for the military to attract the attention of Destroy and the surrounding escort troops while the awakeners infiltrate the enemy and succeed in their mission.
But now, contrary to expectations, we are being pushed back without even being able to last for a few minutes.
“no. You must endure at all costs. Otherwise, everyone will be isolated and die. “Their deaths are a loss for all of us!”
Of course, I wasn’t the only one who was freaked out. All the people involved with the awakening were so scared that they shouted to hold on at all costs.
However, war is not carried out simply by wishing and shouting.
They rained down missiles and even sent out reserve troops who were on standby to try to help in any way they could, but the attacks of many invading species with flying species comparable to Lucy’s Demon King’s army continued to push our troops back.
If this continues, the awakened people will naturally be isolated, let alone escape, and even fail their mission and be killed on the spot.
“Lucy, let’s move.”
After seeing that, I left the place without anyone noticing.
I felt like I needed to put into practice something I had only been thinking about, just in case.
[What do you plan to do? According to my calculations, in the current situation, it seems that support using Nano and Omega cannot be enough to save them.]
“that’s right. My strength alone is never enough. “Because we’re not just fighting monsters.”
A familiar yet strange sensation covering my body. In a deserted place, my whole body covered in nano and omega, I flew into the sky in a hidden state while everyone’s eyes were focused on the battlefield.
If I had done what I had done so far, I would have gone on and secretly helped the military or the awakened people. But now, nothing can be achieved by doing it that way.
“I need to borrow your power. Are you fine?”
[of course. The most elite troops that can be mobilized are always on standby.]
Instead, this time, he decided to borrow the power of Lucy, who had only seen an opportunity until now.
Even though there is a time limit, it’s okay. Lucy’s calculation was that it could be wiped out within that time, and I believed it.
[However, if you intervene in the battlefield, there is a high chance that your allies’ identities will be exposed to humans. Are you willing to take that on?]
“no. “We don’t go to the battlefield.”
In the meantime, Lucy asked me if she could reveal her identity to the public, but I laughed and shook my head. Because there was no need to reveal Lucy’s identity.
Now that countless attention is focused on the battlefield where a bloody battle is taking place, I will go to a place that is not receiving attention and unleash Lucy and the Demon Lord’s army.
“We will attack this dungeon. “By destroying the core and destroying the base, we deactivate the dungeon and weaken the enemy’s power.”
[If that happens, there is less chance of being exposed to humans.]
Lucy also heard my plan and agreed. Considering the base atmosphere, which was panic-like from the beginning, no one was interested in the Destroyer floating in the air, but the dungeon core and the enemy’s main force on the ground.
“Even so, we still have to deal with a large army of these guys. “You can do it, right?”
[That’s enough.]
I tried to ignore the fierce battle taking place in the distant sky. I thought that Jiyeon Lee would have survived, and the only help I could give her was to quickly clean up their base before it was too late.
The place we finally arrived at was the center of this dungeon, where the dungeon core was located, and a large fortress built in the middle of the dark red wasteland.
That fortress made of rocky mountains was the base of this dungeon invasion species.
Multiple enemies were seen crossing the sky again, heading towards the battlefield.
In a situation where all the attention of people and even enemies was focused on that place, I quietly released my hiding place.
[The expected number of enemies is approximately 2,000. It is still unknown which strong individual humans on Earth have classified as a higher species.]
At the same time, Lucy analyzed her enemies. Analyze your own data and estimate how much power you will need.
[I think the standby reserve unit will be sufficient.]
And quickly came to a conclusion. Although it was already expected, the reliability of direct observation and calculation results was different than expected.
“good. So let’s get started, Lucy. “I need to use some of the strength you have been steadily developing.”
[The portal opens.]
With nothing left to wait, I left the work to Lucy. At the same time, a strange power that started in my heart spread beyond my body and throughout my body.
* * *
[Reserve unit activated. Kim Seo-yoon, you are the only command entity with free time, so we will have to step forward together.]
“Well, me?”
Lucy, who felt joy while handling many different tasks in different worlds at the same time, proceeded with the work without the slightest hesitation.

Anyway, the troops had been prepared in advance and were on standby. To prepare for any unforeseen circumstances, it was decided to dispatch Kim Seo-yoon, a special species currently active in the demon world.
[Finally help him.]
There was only one reason to feel this joy. This is because after awakening to my identity, I was finally able to achieve what I had longed for from the beginning.
Of course, it is true that we have continued to receive help until now. But Lucy wasn’t satisfied with that.
His own army, raised under his care, had to step forward.
[1,000 general types, 10 higher species, 2 special species.]
I wanted to show him my heart and power by dispatching an overwhelming force.
Nevertheless, calculating efficiency in the end and dispatching the most optimal combination and number of troops is like an unavoidable instinct unique to artificial intelligence.
But it didn’t matter. Because the result of winning is the same anyway.
“Open the portal.”
Lucy prepared her body separately and used her magic to open the incomplete portal she had acquired.
The experiment has already been completed. Although he would be dragged back here, it was still possible for him to project his power into the other world, even if only for a short period of time.
“The door opens.”
The connection that had existed since the moment of his birth was forcibly expanded through his own power.
The past days have been endured with this one thread of connection as hope. You will be compensated for it now.
“All troops transferred. “No connection abnormalities, no medical history abnormalities.”
Lucy finally moved through space. And that too with his own troops.
The Demon King’s army, which appeared in the empty wasteland, was just staring ahead without any agitation.
Lucy slowly looked back as her eyes caught the sight of a barren wasteland that was completely different from the demon world.
“I was waiting.”
there he was Changhyun, who became a medium himself and brought legions from this other world here, lifted the Nano/Omega that covered his face.
“They have noticed the presence of our troops and are coming. “First of all, the battle is urgent.”
“I guess so.”
But both Lucy and he had other things to deal with now. The invading species was frightened by the large number of troops that suddenly appeared in front of their base and rushed out with all their troops.
[The entire army charges.]
Lucy gave the order to charge without wavering even in the face of the enemies’ terrifying charge.
There were twice as many enemies, but I didn’t care at all. Knowing that the tactics and actions of the invading species were similar to his own, he was able to more easily see through their power and was confident that now was enough.
In fact, the invasive species began to be pushed back by the demon king’s army. The main soldiers of the invading species, which the Earthlings classified as D and C, were unable to block the heavy troopers of the Demon King’s army, and some special monsters that manipulate magical power and were rated B or higher eventually defeated the Demon King’s army’s firepower. I couldn’t bear it.
“It’s a natural result since we’ve only dealt with weak humans.”
Lucy saw a friendly soldier in the form of a giant spider kill an enemy by piercing its jaws with its front legs, and Orc and Beta focused their fire on the magic cannon in their hands and sniped at the floating jellyfish that was covering the friendly team with a magic shield. I looked at it and laughed.
A higher-ranking servant called a mage appeared and tried to respond, but Kim Seo-yoon aimed Gungnir and sealed his actions, and he was cut in half by a single blow and died.
Lee Ji-yeon and other awakened people are the ones who must fight with great determination, but the Demon King’s Army, which has already accumulated a lot of experience fighting against stronger demonic forces, did not hesitate.
Lucy’s own avatar did not even come forward.
‘strong.’
I expected it, but there was a big difference between what I expected and seeing it in person. Even the invasive species have lost part of their main force to the battlefield.
He was thrilled to see with his own eyes the extent of Lucy’s power.
This is the moment when Strange, who has been steadily growing in strength since he first noticed the strange thing that happened on his cell phone, finally reveals his power to the world he lives in.
“Our troops achieved a great victory in the first clash and are now rushing after the enemies they crushed. “If there are no other variables, our forces will occupy the center of their stronghold and the core after 21 minutes and 42 seconds.”
“I didn’t know when I was fighting other forces on screen. You’ve become very strong. Lucy.”
“yet… … “I think it’s not enough.”
He spoke with admiration as he watched the Demon Lord’s army push in without hesitation, and Lucy, who flinched for a moment, nodded.
I had no intention of being satisfied and complacent, but I couldn’t ignore the joy that filled me with his praise.
“It’s only this much help right now, but don’t worry. “One day, I will come with a bigger and more powerful force and wipe out all those monsters.”
“Oh, I know.”
Although I say this humbly, he was shocked by the bloody content. The Demon King’s army had already completely crushed the enemy’s main force and was pushing into the main base.
Kim Seo-yoon, who was in the lead, ran wild in all directions.
As if she was trying to get revenge on the monsters who were the culprit of everything, all of the monsters that were classified as high-level were struck down in one blow by her rampaging attack.
“I can see the core right in front of me.”
[Destroy it immediately. There isn’t much time left.]
She broke through at once with a small number of troops and discovered a core located deep within the base.
Lucy immediately gave the order for destruction, and Kim Seo-yoon, who had been waiting for it, rushed in without delay, defeated even the last resistance protecting the core, and stabbed Gungnir, her decisive weapon, towards the core.
