Chapter 38: 3 Months (2)
If you can't stop that, it's all over.
But, can such a thing be prevented?
'If you can't stop it anyway, everyone will die!'
Perhaps all the soldiers of the Seolyuk Corps thought that way, and they poured all their might towards the axe.
Beiros also put all the collected magic in his mouth and exhaled.
Nevertheless, the black cow pushed back all the attacks of the lust corps and dropped the ax as if it were the case.
Where in the world is such an absurd power?
'This is... Just pets?'
Tell them not to be funny.
Beiros overhead.
No, it's not enough to say that it's overhead.
Seeing the giant ax falling to crush them, they couldn't fly anymore.
"Your personality is not that urgent."
That was then.
The ax that pierced all the attacks of the Greedy Legion collided with something invisible in the air.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
It shook to the ground with a huge impact.
When he appeared, Akashic was emitting a brilliant light from the staff of the World Tree.
That's what blocks the ax of the black cow.
He shouted with his yellow eyes shining.
"He has a nucleus under his left flank!"
I get it.
Then, from where he was, Trika appeared and jumped at the black cow at once.
Beiros thought.
Even the demon king of lust cannot defeat that ridiculous black cow.
This is because, no matter how much Gra, he cannot stop the attack with the full power of the soldiers of the Seolyuk Corps, including the commander of the Corps.
your Majesty!! Dangerous!"
So I shouted, but Akashik said when he came.
Okay.
" what?
"It's a concept made up of concepts from all sorts of things, but it's just crude."
what do you mean?
"Since it is made up of many, the power has expanded to the extent that it is not pushed by the Demon King, but being the subject is different from this one."
Beiros frowned at Akashic's words, which he still couldn't understand.
He turned his gaze back to Trika.
A black cow swings an ax at him.
If it hits it from the front, even the Demon Lord will receive a blow close to extinction.
When Beiros made an urgent expression, Akashik spoke in a sultry voice.
"In other words, we are much stronger on our side. After all, it's a concept created with the demon king as the subject."
Boom!!!
Trika's sword and black cow's huge ax collided.
Once again, there was a huge shock wave, and the black cow, pushed from its power, stumbled.
Beiros was startled to see that monstrous bastard being pushed out of his powers.
But without even more surprise, the trika sprinted through the air and jumped towards the black cow's left flank.
And the black magic sword was scattered like lightning.
flash-!!
The flank of the black cow was cut off in a flash-like blow.
[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!]
A black cow that vomits a painful cry.
The Black Cow faltered back and tried to rebalance, but Trika did not wait.
His cloak burns black like the flames of hell.
It spread wide enough to cover the entire sky in an instant, and the blade of the Magi, which was several tens of kilometers long, stirred the black cow silently.
At the overwhelming sight, the demons of the lust corps and the demons of the anger corps were also silent.
The wreckage of a crumbling black cow.
An ominous green marble hidden inside appears.
"That's it!"
Akashik shouted, and Trika blew out a purple eye light and did it all the way.
The green marbles of considerable size were broken as they were, and the black cows began to slowly disappear.
Traces of a black cow flew over the battlefield like black snow.
" How did this happen?"
"As I said, it means that this concept is far superior."
"I don't know exactly what the concept is Are you saying that His Majesty became a concept? Like a black cow?"
"It would be correct to borrow that form."
As soon as Akashik finished speaking, Trika, who had killed the black cow, landed where the soldiers were.
The entire sulking corps bowed their heads as they bowed their heads toward the demon king they served.
"Everyone worked hard while I was away."
Then I looked back.
Even after killing the black cow, which can be called a conversion blow, there is no response.
What the hell are these guys looking for?
your Majesty.
Anyway, the situation was settled, and the commanders of the corps including Beiros came out to meet him.
Trika looked at them and nodded.
"Let's go in and talk."
* * *
Tri-car, which appeared after a month, had a very different appearance from before.
Because of that, the commanders of the corps looked at him.
From before, the atmosphere and the power felt had changed quite heterogeneously.
Count Ancaro, who is ranked 5th, asked as a representative.
"Your Majesty, what have you been up to for the past month?"
"I can't even do small things."
Trika looked at her slightly sharper hands and then turned to Akashik, who was sitting next to him.
He was still sitting in the seat of Duke Katos, all looking at it uncomfortablely.
Of course, no one said anything to him, just staring at him like that.
This is because the sense of presence felt was not much different from the tri-car.
Even when he was working as Duke Katos, he was a monster with the rank of a demon king, but now that he has become stronger than that, what can the weak say in the world of the strong?
Anyway, that wasn't the point.
Trika recalled a conversation he had with Akashik the day before the war began in earnest.
- Concept?
-exactly. Do you know why the Great Demon King can reign as the Great Demon King?
- Does it have anything to do with being a concept?
- That's right. It is a being that fuses the concepts extracted from the demons under its control into one using special techniques. Like Satan's pet, for example.
- I knew it was special, but it was a concept. But what is a concept?
- Simply put, it can be said to be the basis of a living being. The 5 Great Demon Lords, including Satan, know how to expel it, and use the artificially created nucleus as a medium to complete the concept.
The concept created in this way is inevitably powerful because it is the basis of countless lives.
So, this was the reason why the 5th Demon King has reigned as the ruler of the Demon Realm until now.
-Then, aren't we out of luck?
It was funny to discuss the odds against the Demon King of Wrath in the first place, but Trika was planning to somehow hold on until the master returns.
But listening to Akashik, it seemed impossible.
-You can become a concept.
- I?
-The strength of a concept is definitely the number and quality of the underlying concepts, but there is something more important than that.
- As a medium.
-exactly. Most likely, demons can't handle the power of concepts. No matter how many demon lords, the body will not be able to withstand it. Accepting the concept also means taking on all that that life had. But you.
-I am, undead.
An undead born from the hands of Diablo Volfir.
Since the soul does not exist, it does not collapse no matter how many concepts are accepted.
Also, because of the absence of the soul, the level of the body had risen to that extent, so the body was able to withstand it.
However, there was one problem.
-If you are the 5th Demon Lord, I think you can handle a lot of concepts. Why didn't they become a concept themselves? Akashik, according to you, the stronger the medium, the stronger it gets.
- .
Akashic didn't answer easily.
There, Trika also guessed to some extent.
-is it.
- The choice is yours. What will you do?
They talk as if they are giving them a choice, but in the end, Trika only had one choice.
-If the master can repay his lust, I will do anything.
- You made a difficult decision.
Over the next month, with the help of Akashic, he was transplanted with the concepts he had collected so far.
And I was able to acquire a power that I had never experienced before.
Although he would lose something that much, he had no regrets in life other than to repay the lust to the 12 gods in the first place.
It is a pity that it became a concept without the permission of the master, but if he could acquire the power to defeat the 12 gods based on this, that was enough.
Trika, waking up from her thoughts, said to all the corps leaders who saw her.
"From tomorrow, we will attack first."
"Are you saying you're going to do it?"
Trika shook her head at Lillian's question.
do not worry. I will stand at the vanguard. Wrath, Satan, we will not lose unless he steps in."
The corps commanders seemed to tremble at that calm voice.
When their king was at the forefront of the battlefield, there was always a consistent result.
It was just a victory.
"We will survive."
Trika's purple eyes flashed.
* * *
Investigator Henos was observing the dimensional structure and flow as usual.
There seems to have been a war down there, and it had nothing to do with the investigators observing such dimensions.
In the first place, they only temporarily belonged to the Demon King who governs the assigned lot, but they could not even be called people.
Rather, the investigators were inviolable.
"Whoa. My eyes hurt."
Henos opened his eyes from the telescope.
I've been staring down for 10 hours already, and my eyeballs are about to pop out.
At the same time, to give my eyes a rest, I turned on the magnifier to check the situation below.
"It seems to have stopped for a moment."
Previously, they fought loudly as if the sky was about to collapse, but now they are maintaining a state of ceasefire as if they had ever been.
Thanks to you, I was so annoyed that it interfered with observation earlier.
"When will the underworld become peaceful? Ttttttttttttttttt."
Henos didn't like the strong man very much, not like a demon.
He was also an investigator who was far from fighting, but he was born that way.
There were things that I did because I didn't have to fight or become an investigator.
"I'm just hungry. I'll have to fill it up with a meal or something.
And since I spend a lot of time alone, I talk to myself a lot.
I also hum often.
He took out the bread he had brought from home, singing a bright hum that did not match the situation below.
It was a bread made from ground grains from the Demon World, but it had no taste.
It's just to quench your hunger.
As I was taking a few bites, suddenly, the graph of the Dimensional Observation Table began to run wild.
"Wow, what's going on?!"
Henos opened his eyes and threw it to the ground as if throwing away the bread he had been eating, then checked the scorecard.
The axis of spacetime suddenly became strange.
"Is it broken?"
Otherwise, there is no reason for the spatiotemporal graph to jump out of the blue.
It's still an old machine, so it wasn't strange if it broke.
Still, just in case you didn't know, I checked the multidimensional situation with a telescope.
And an unbelievable scene unfolded before my eyes.
"Hour, the time axis is back."
The time axis, which had been gradually getting longer since a thousand years ago, began to return.
It was slow, but little by little, it was getting faster and faster.
In an unexpected situation, Henos could not judge the situation.
The spatiotemporal graph is going crazy, and the multidimensional flow is normalizing.
As an investigator, it is difficult for him to make hasty judgments.
The observation center must have confirmed the anomaly as well.
It was time to pick up the communicator because I thought I should make contact with him.
Kurreung-!!
With the sound of the space being torn apart, the heavens of the demon world are torn apart.
And a huge presence that I had never experienced before began to descend with terrible emotions.
"What, what? how?
He immediately turned on the magnifier.
and could see
A man with three huge pairs of black wings on his back and a golden crown on his head was descending with the robes of the great emperor.
Behind it, a dark red brilliance was flowing leisurely with an ominous feeling, and Henos seemed to go out of his mind just looking at it.
Even though it was this far away, Henos seemed to be sucked into his soul.
He knew who it was.
It's because I've been following the Multidimensional Observation Hall a long time ago, and I've seen it at least once from afar.
"Wealth, the demon king of anger."
Could it be that the opponent who was fighting the demon king of lust was the demon king of anger?
"Damn it It must come out."
Investigators are treated as inviolable.
That doesn't mean it doesn't die.
Unexpected accidents often come like fate.
Especially if there is a huge battlefield nearby.
