Chapter 90: Trailer

Chapter 90: TrailerConsidering that the cost of summoning and raising another griffin would be higher than just keeping the creature alive, I decided to let the griffin continue to fly over the battlefield, but without directly helping in any confrontations, as I'm sure the soldiers being helped wouldn't be too happy about the iMonster's interference.

Every demon the soldiers killed was equivalent to a direct reward in Internet Coins, so having the griffin help the soldiers kill enemies would be the same as stealing Internet Coins from those soldiers.

But even without directly participating in the battle, the powerful and terrifying presence of the griffin flying above them was enough to make the soldiers more courageous, while the demons showed fear because of the monster's aura.

Without their leader to command them, it was only a matter of time before the demon army fell.

When the battle was over, the first thing my soldiers did was to open the Internet and see how many Internet Coins they had received in this battle.

Some soldiers received only a few hundred Internet Coins, others received thousands of Internet Coins, and the most powerful soldiers collected tens of thousands of Internet Coins in a single battle, so that everyone could buy at least the cheapest Blessing in the shop. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This was another big expenditure of Divine Power Points for me, since I was the one paying for all these blessings, but even if I had to spend another few million Divine Power Points, I didn't think it was a bad thing.

I could recover the spent Divine Power in just one or two days of accumulating prayers, so it was good to leave treats like this for the soldiers.

While they were enjoying themselves and discussing which blessings to buy, I was busy watching the recording I'd made of the griffin's battle with the embryonic demon and began to edit it into the most interesting form I could manage.

With Lucy's power, I was able to create epic background music for the battle while cutting the whole process down to a two-minute video, which, considering that it took less than five minutes from the moment I created the Black Crow, evolved it to its current level of strength, to the moment the griffin bit off the enemy's head, there weren't that many cuts in the video.

Thinking a bit more, I moved away from the army and used my divinity to record some more footage of an evolved version of the other three iMonsters in a mysterious way, showing that the other iMonsters could also be as powerful as the griffin, but not showing it directly.

Of course, this version of the iMonsters I summoned didn't have any combat power, it was just summoned for aesthetics and to record, looking like they were powerful but weaker than level 3 iMonsters.

Once the recording was done and edited, I decided to release the video in a way that would use as little Divine Power as possible, but still reach as many people as possible.

- John POV -

Since I introduced the Internet to the people in the village and we started feeding our iMonster, both the safety of the people living here and the fruits of the hunt and the abundance of food we could eat have increased greatly.

Having a powerful iMonster to protect us during an invasion by more powerful animals was a luxury that has saved several lives in recent days.

Not to mention, when hunters encountered more dangerous animals during their hunts, they could summon their own iMonsters to help in the fight.

Not only did the iMonsters change our lives completely, but the availability of the Internet made almost everyone in the village interested in learning to read, and they attended Father Robert's classes on the Internet every day.

Because learning to read with him was so easy, some people had already learned to read well enough to read other people's posts on [Carrier Pigeon], and now the village was very excited about all the new stories and gossip people were discovering on the Internet.

Now people no longer had to worry so much about their neighbors' lives to have something to talk about, because there were so many interesting things happening all over the five kingdoms ruled by the Internet God.

Now, in the late afternoon, I was returning home after helping to build and repair some houses for other villagers who had problems with their houses, when a message appeared in my Internet book.

Who is sending me a message? I thought in surprise. There's no hunting party out right now, maybe it's some merchant who added me?

Normally, the only people who sent me messages were the hunters when something happened or the merchants asking if our village was interested in a certain product, which helped us a lot to get different things when the caravans came to visit.

When I opened the book and saw the message on the front of the screen, I was surprised.

[New update on [iMonsters]!

- A new type of iMonster is available for training!

- Meet Noctrow, the Raven of Darkness!

- A trailer video of Noctrow fighting alongside the Internet God's army against a demon knight with more power than a warlord will be available in 2 hours, to watch the video go to the owner of the Guardian iMonster you help feed to watch this video!

- Only iMonster owners with more than 50 people feeding them are allowed to stream the video].

When I saw this notification, I was shocked, so I quickly opened my [iMonsters] app and saw that there was a new feature!

It was a gray triangle icon pointing to the right with the name [Stream the Trailer], and right below it was a timer [01:59:12] indicating that in one hour and fifty-nine minutes, the trailer would be available for me to stream!

As soon as I saw this, my first thought was to call everyone in the village so that we could watch the trailer together, but before I could do anything, I heard footsteps coming towards me.

I looked in the direction of the footsteps and there were 10 worried people coming towards me.

"John, is that Internet ad true?" Fred, one of the men from the village who was in the group coming toward me, asked.

"Will we be able to see this... trailer?" Sarah, Fred's wife, asked immediately.

Seeing that the others also wanted to ask their own questions, I quickly raised my hand as I spoke.

"Calm down guys, I've just checked my [iMonsters] app and confirmed that we will indeed be able to watch this trailer, as our village has an iMonster powered by more than 50 people, so don't worry, we'll arrange the village square so that everyone can watch it together, I'll invite the other villagers through our [Carrier Pigeon] group." I said.

Hearing this, everyone smiled and went to the village square to prepare the place to gather the whole village while I sent the message to invite the others.

When the other villagers heard what was going to happen, even though they didn't really understand what a trailer or a video was, they were all curious about how the God of the Internet was going to show us something new, especially if it was about the iMonsters and our army.

So within forty minutes, the whole village was gathered in the square.

Realizing that there was plenty of time before the countdown was over, we even got some animals and started barbecuing to celebrate this strange event that was taking place.

The children played happily while the men carried the dead animals and the women took care of the barbecue we had set up.

Our village had a population of 160 people, so it was a big party in the square.

When the timer hit 5 minutes, we quickly got ready and waited patiently for what was going to happen.

I stood on a makeshift stage while the rest of the village looked at me expectantly, all very close to me to make sure they would be able to see what was going to appear in the book.

The book was very small, so if anyone stood too far away, they probably wouldn't be able to see it.

I had no idea what would happen and how it would work, but I waited patiently anyway.

When the timer reached zero, the gray triangle button suddenly turned red and I clicked it.

As soon as I clicked the button, a square began to float out of the book, floating in front of me as it grew larger and larger.

When it was big enough for everyone to see clearly, the black square suddenly cracked in the middle, revealing a golden eye.

"Woah..." The children shouted in surprise at the shocking sight.

An eye the size of a human body had opened in the large black square hovering over our village.

If it weren't for the fact that we were already a little used to the surprising things the Internet God does and trusted him, many of us would have been terrified by this image.

Suddenly, the eye began to shrink and we were able to get a better look at what was going on.

This eye was that of a small black crow surrounded by 6 people, 3 warriors and 3 mages, who were looking at the small animal in amazement.

All the mages were wearing red cloaks, which I already knew to be Sage Mages!

"Those are Sage Mages!" Ron shouted excitedly.

As a boy who was very enthusiastic about magic, Ron knew all about mages, even more than many adults.

Listening to Ron's explanation, many people were surprised to see such powerful mages in front of them.

Just seeing Apprentice Mages in the trade caravans was very surprising to us, let alone seeing Sage Mages with the glorious bright red cape.

After showing these 6 people, our vision zoomed out even further to show the army fighting red-skinned people.

"These are the demons... That's the army of the Internet God fighting the demons!" I said in shock, making the other people even more surprised.

Seeing the brutality of the battle that was taking place was shocking, the way the demons acted as if they had no emotions except anger, or seeing how happy the soldiers of our army were to kill the demons.

It made my blood boil.

Suddenly, a demon knight appeared in the enemy army.

This knight emitted powerful waves with every step he took, and you could see the fear and anxiety of the soldiers in our army as they looked at this demon.

"He must be very strong..." Fred said.

"The ad said that Noctcrow would fight a demon more powerful than a warlord... this must be the demon the ad was talking about..." I said in shock.

"How will this little crow handle such a powerful enemy?" A woman asked.

"Our little Pyroxy is already level 13 and very strong, but she couldn't fight that demon, how could a little crow like that?" A man commented.

We all looked at the video worriedly, wondering what that little crow could do against that enemy.
