Episode 239: An unexpected person
A large army including many paladins.
They stopped in front of a black swamp that smelled like a gutter.
“Why… … .”
Arbaijan looked back.
A large force including priests and paladins.
It is impossible to drag all of these personnel into a black swamp infested with poisonous insects.
If we continue this forcefully, a great sacrifice will inevitably be made before the enemy is killed.
I wonder if it will be possible to chase him across this wide plain of Ers despite making that sacrifice.
“damn!”
Its purpose is obvious.
They will try to increase their power by brainwashing monsters in the Ers Plain, or they will try to increase their power by feasting on their souls and vitality as they have done so far.
No matter which of the two you choose, you will end up in trouble.
In the end, things will go as they intended and their power will become stronger.
It was a time when I was contemplating whether to follow them into the black swamp.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk… … .
A figure slowly walking from afar.
It was a man dressed in black military uniform and covered with black cloth.
At the appearance of the mysterious man, a paladin drew his sword and shouted.
“Who are you!? Really… … .”
Before the paladin could speak.
The man in black uniform gently held the sword.
And at that moment, dozens of diagonal lines were drawn in space and the paladin’s body fell into pieces.
“… … !?”
Death in unexpected circumstances.
At a time when everyone was frozen, a man in black uniform slowly opened his mouth.
“Open the way. “Trash.”
A trembling voice.
There was an unknown power in his voice.
Something like a stubborn will that cannot be resisted.
But it was that moment.
“Stop!”
The paladins and soldiers all drew their swords and blocked his path.
The man took off the black cloth surrounding his face and looked at them with an indifferent expression.
An expression without the slightest fear when facing a large army.
He slowly placed his hand on the handle of the sword.
And that moment.
“True.”
A short word.
I just placed my hand on the handle of the sword.
However, suddenly hundreds or thousands of lines were drawn in space.
At the moment when thousands of graffiti left marks, like drawing lines on paper, thousands of soldiers were cut into pieces and fell into the rain.
“W-what… … .”
The saints, including Arbaijan, were frozen.
Instinct was telling me. If you draw your sword, you will die.
It was a time when I was trembling with my hand on my sword, unable to pull it out.
“hmm?”
The man in black uniform slowly approached Arbaijan and the others.
And, seeing the power felt from them, I smiled.
“Now that I see it, you’re a junior?”
“… … .”
“Ah, what do they say these days? that… … . saint?”
Arbaijan couldn’t say anything to him who was giggling.
The moment I opened my mouth, I felt like my throat was going to fly off.
The man in black uniform, the warrior Carlos, secretly laughed.
Those who are forced to sacrifice in the name of God, just like they did a thousand years ago.
When I saw them again, I remembered my past self and smiled.
“You shouldn’t kill a struggling junior.”
Carlos patted Arbaijan on the shoulder and passed by.
Leaving behind thousands of dismembered corpses.
Arbaizan looked at his back and began to speak with difficulty.
“Your name, your name… … . “What is it?”
“Carlos. “This is Carlos the Sword Emperor.”
With those words, Carlos entered the realm of the black swamp.
As he slowly walked away, another saint spoke to Arbaijan.
“Uh, what are you going to do?”
“Ugh! You have to wait for the main unit. If it were him… … . “I don’t know what will happen.”
A person who has crossed the wall and seen the world beyond.
Representatives of God, true saints and divine beings.
I had to wait for them to come.
Heading there now would be nothing more than a dog’s death.
* * *
Pouring of monsters.
Their upper body was like a fishman, and their lower body was like a snake with a thick, long tail.
Kwasik, crunching-
A close battle took place between the undead army and the monster.
While the undead’s movements were restricted by the waist-deep swamp, the monsters’ movements were extremely free.
A few skeletons lost their balance and faltered after a single throw using their thick tails.
Kakkak, kakkak!
The monsters kept crying as if they were excited.
The monster got even more excited because the enemy was a chubby bone without flesh.
Pot, papapat-
The group of monsters simultaneously shot out acidic liquid from the poison glands under their tongues.
Like the Hydra in a certain game, the skeleton’s armament gradually dissolved in the acidic solution that it fired mercilessly.
However, that didn’t last long either.
Ghoul Mages, who had undergone secondary evolution as followers of darkness, defended the yellow acid solution with a black curtain, and white demons, who had achieved secondary evolution as ugly pursuers, had spread a force field to restrict the enemy’s movements.
Pudduk, puzik-
Monsters whose bodies have holes in them and their skin is cut.
There was no need for secondary evolved black ghouls or higher undead to intervene.
Skeletons that have undergone secondary evolution are individuals with the same power as knights, as befits the name ‘Knight’.
It was not an undead that could easily be defeated by a monster of that size.
‘Well, he fights pretty well.’
Yukiel’s current undead army totals 90,000.
Originally, the limit was less than 70,000, but control was greatly increased by establishing the Necropolis system by creating a ‘Restaurant’s Rest’ in the Barony and various architectures.
Of course, since it is outside the sanctuary’s sphere of influence, the enormous buff effect cannot be applied, but the increased control is not limited by space.
“Master? “Why aren’t the undead in the back fighting?”
“That’s to give away experience points.”
“Experience? what is that?”
“It’s like your second year of middle school progressing into puberty.”
Half of the skeletons are newly created and skeletons that are still in the first evolution.
As we conquered the Ers Plain, we had to evolve all skeletons into ‘night’ individuals.
There are more monsters than expected, so it would be even better if you can go to the 3rd evolution.
Yukiel turned his head and looked at Treebon.
Tribon, sensing his gaze, raised his hand and issued an order to the entire army.
“March.”
An undead army pushing forward.
There were over a thousand monsters in front of me, but I forced my way through them.
If you interfere with their advance, they tear your flesh and crush your bones.
Wow… … .
A scared monster.
Several monsters couldn’t overcome their fear and fell into the swamp.
Hundreds and thousands of undead turned their heads towards the frightened monster.
Through the hideous helmet, gray-white empty eyes stared at the monster, drawing out their hideous command power and turning the monster into dozens of pieces of meat.
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck-
Wide and spacious land.
Although we are moving forward and slaughtering thousands of monsters, we are still only at the beginning of the Ers Plain.
“If the area is at this level… … .”
Maybe there is a ‘destroyer’ like the last modified dragon.
If so, this may be an opportunity to build up a stack of the title ‘Adversary’.
Well, honestly, the enemy would have to be at that level to even pretend to be mortally wounded.
Yukiel moved forward, wiping out thousands of monsters.
Of course, we didn’t forget to collect the bodies in the process.
It was a time when we were advancing, recklessly wiping out the pouring monsters.
“master! “What’s in front of me!?”
Butler’s voice.
Yukiel narrowed his eyes and looked at a group in the distance.
‘what?’
There were a huge number of monsters and demons swarming around.
However, what was more perplexing than that was the ‘undead army’.
Wild undead are not concentrated in groups like that.
Above all, if it were wild undead, there would be no way for architecture to exist.
“Is this not a surprise attack but a head-on attack?”
I was embarrassed.
Anyone can see that a surprise attack is right.
But, you came first and are waiting?
While Yukiel was looking ahead with a puzzled expression, the black mage on the other side also frowned.
“What? That… … .”
There was clearly a pursuit going on in the main temple.
But what does this enormous undead army mean?
Both sides looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
Just a few minutes. The two sides, who continued to advance with perplexed expressions, soon reached a close distance.
“Who are you?”
“Who are you then?”
Both sides were extremely embarrassed.
One side was wondering if they were the pursuers of the Great Crusade, and the other side was wondering if they were nobles.
At a time when there was tension as they explored each other, the other black mage spoke first.
“I guess the Great Holy Temple also requested the Black Tower?”
“Great Crusade? “Aren’t you guys sent by the noble faction?”
“Aristocratic faction? “What are they doing?”
Something was strange.
They both look confused.
It was at that time that Yukiel noticed something strange and was keeping an eye on the enemies.
‘This… … .’
Unpleasant smell.
A smell and energy that I had smelled once.
This was clearly the smell and energy given off by those who planted the demon skin.
Upon checking him, Yukiel’s expression became frowning.
‘Is that the guy that Arbaijan was chasing?’
That means Arbaijan is also nearby.
I thought I might have taken it off now, but it was really annoying.
“I asked who this was, and it turned out to be a dirty guy who planted the skin of demons.”
Yukiel raised his hand.
In response, key minions, including Merphis, prepared for battle.
The opponent swallowed dry saliva after seeing Yukiel’s full power.
‘too many.’
The level of the opponent is unusual.
The number of undead is also absurd.
If we fought like this, we had to prepare for great sacrifices.
“for a moment! I have no intention of stopping your advance. “I don’t know what I came here for, but I have no intention of disturbing you.”
“What bullshit? “Even if you try to speak the truth, it will be of no use to you anyway.”
“Now, wait! Please tell me… … .”
“So, be my experience.”
When Yukiel lifted his hand, a large undead army quickly advanced.
The guy in front of me was different from the guys I had fought with before.
Not only was he not completely consumed by the demons, Yukiel was also not the same person he was back then.
Honestly, there was no need to even go out in person.
With this level of power, you should be able to subdue it with minions.
Ssaaaaaa-
A huge command power exploded.
A large army of Sadiers, led by Merphis, trained magic.
The three mages who sensed him felt helpless.
‘I tried to absorb the power of the monsters here… … .’
The two magicians immediately took out three red jewels from their arms.
The three red jewels resonated with each other and radiated intense power.
The jewels that absorbed countless lives and souls contained a vast amount of karma and power.
Gooooooooooo-
The space was low and a huge number of souls were wandering around.
Yukiel’s undead energy shrank and his body trembled.
The wizard who saw this raised the corner of his mouth.
“I never thought about it like this… … .”
“wait for a sec! “Just put that in!”
“You brought this on yourself. die!”
The three red jewels exploded with a large amount of power.
Yukiel, who knew the existence of the red gem, became thoughtful for a moment.
The moment he felt the vast power spreading around him, Yukiel felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
Sure enough, a black flame soared from Yukiel’s left eye, emitting an absurd power of existence.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
Yukiel lowered his head in intense pain.
And at that moment, the three jewels, which had accumulated enormous karma and power through numerous evil deeds, trembled like crazy, and immediately, the enormous power was sucked into Yukiel’s left eye.
– Devours huge karma and soul.
-By accepting countless evil intentions and karma, your influence on the negative dimension increases further.
-By feasting on vast souls, the status of existence and spiritual power increase.
-The level of existence and spiritual power increases, and the presence of all undead under it increases significantly.
– Permanently acquires magic stat +2 by feasting on a large amount of energy.
-The demon king latent in the soul recovers its existence by feasting on the demon in question.
Black flames engulfed Yukiel’s body.
Then, unknown memories flowed into my head.
Memories of the demon world’s law of the jungle and countless acts of predatory behavior.
It was a fragmentary memory of the Demon King.
At a time when Yukiel was devouring a large amount of energy and even the souls of demons, the mages felt that something was wrong and broke into a cold sweat.
“What the hell is this… … .”
“Yes, who are you!? “How on earth!!”
loud voice.
At that moment, Yukiel’s eyes turned black.
The Demon King’s memories and Yukiel’s memories were mixed, causing confusion as to the subject.
【It’s noisy… … . 】
A bleak and sinister voice.
At the same time, the Demon King’s power and presence exploded around him, immersing him in darkness.
At that moment, Yukiel, whose head was aching from countless memories, roughly waved his hand, and the head of a mage fell off.
Tuk, degurrrrr… … .
A head that fell off without even realizing it.
The remaining two mages clenched their teeth and trembled in fear.
What on earth is this absurd existence and magic?
Noble demon? Or does that mean he becomes a demon lord?
I could not feel any of my five senses, only distant despair and fear.
It was the moment when Yukiel raised his head from a crushing headache.
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The skin of the two mages and the warlock under them exploded.
The body exploded like a firecracker, leaving only the bones behind.
Meanwhile, Yukiel continued to feast on a large amount of power and tear out his head.
【Who am I… … . 】
My mind was complicated.
It was difficult to define myself.
Should I consider it Yukiel?
Or should I think of it as Etelius?
Or should we consider him the devil?
