Chapter 518 The unofficial corps commander
The land of demons where humans have stopped walking.
An ecosystem made up of monsters unfolded and the environment transformed into demons welcomed me.
There was also a pond that emitted a nasty stench, and bizarre-looking monsters and demons also stuck their mouths out.
– Kwajijijik!
“Ghaaaagh!”
“Kyarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
didn’t reach me
Monsters that split apart and rolled on the ground every time they swung their swords. Those with tough vitality set off fire bombs to keep them warm.
I don’t know how many today. They say they are like jingling guys.
“I didn’t know that I wouldn’t run into any warlocks or demons, even if it was monsters.”
It’s the 3rd day since we headed to our destination.
I thought we’d run into each other at least once, but I can’t seem to get my nose out. They said they were gathering in one place, but did they all come together already?
Then it’s faster than what the Church and the Magic Tower figured out.
Tsk. I clicked my tongue slightly. The first thing I saw was the demons who were cooperating with the collapsed magic tower.
“These guys are great too.”
“To that.”
A group of magic chasing demons. The collapsed magic tower.
Ironically, there are demons who cooperate with them. I don’t know how they came together or why demons help people.
It’s a very old thing, and it’s also something that can’t be said carelessly now.
However, what is certain is that the collapsed Mage Tower possesses such knowledge and technology that even the church can admire it when it comes to demons because of this secret.
Hagiya The demon himself teaches you how to deal with the demons and techniques, so progress can’t be slow.
“Now, that part might hold back my ankles.”
As the world was destroyed and the demons appeared as enemies in earnest, the vigilance and anger against the demons increased.
In a situation like this, if you say that you are receiving help from demons, it will be a big blow. Whatever your intentions, you will be branded a traitor.
It is also the reason why I did not move with Bekal.
That’s it.
“How did you guys know? Demons are gathering here.”
This part is questionable.
The content would be highly confidential. It’s something I wouldn’t have known if Shile hadn’t told it to me.
Since he is also one of the candidates for the hero, did the empire or church give out information?
It’s a very probable story. I heard that the church is doing quite a bit of publicity since the sword he’s using is a holy sword.
We’ll meet again when we’re meant to be.
“You are almost there.”
desolate space. Until now, it was a place full of monsters, but there is nothing here.
Maybe the monsters aren’t full because there’s nothing to eat? That’s not going to happen. Because they have such strong vitality, there are quite a few types that live well even in barren places.
It’s probably because the demons who live there have organized the surroundings.
-Saaaaa
where the dry wind blows. One windmill standing tall in the wasteland.
In the past, this place was also called agricultural land. I heard that the windmill was renovated and used as a branch, but seeing the real thing is just amazing.
“To that.”
“Oh, I know. I can feel the magic.”
He nodded at Deokchun’s warning.
It’s faint, but I can feel the magic. It looks like the sneaky approach is trying to see if I’m dangerous.
“Come on, Pavant. It is said to be Evil Eye from the collapsed Mage Tower.”
Before misunderstanding, I revealed my identity.
No matter what, I’m in a position where I need help from him.
Hearing my voice, Maggie backed away and a man appeared from the windmill.
Plain cotton pants and a vest. A bit of an old fedora. From the outside, it seemed like an ordinary villager.
“Why are you helping the Magic Tower?”
I didn’t know that such a question came up.
“It’s because demons don’t forget grudges.”
A ghostly spirit rose from the eyes of the sub, who had been silent for a while.

Navigation was not difficult.
There was no particular threat in the area, and there was no trouble because the warlocks and demons were strangely calm.
After measuring faster than expected, I was able to figure out where they had gathered.
“It’s buzzing.”
“It is a rare case. It’s hard to control, so I avoid living in groups of that size as much as possible.”
I could see the demons clustered in the plain beyond the hills.
At first glance, it seems to be over a thousand units. It looks like you have some skills. At least not the stupid ones.
In a way, it’s a golden opportunity to strike out. The problem is that the only forces here are me and two subs.
Just in case, I told the members of the community about the approximate location of this place.
Both Nyangpun and Licking are centered around the Empire, so if you’re in a hurry, you might be able to contact Shile.
In the case of the hair loss man, it seems that he is coming here directly.
‘It will take some time to arrive, but.’
It’s only been a day since I came here. It’s a bit disconcerting to find out where they’re gathered in one day, but don’t overcomplicate it.
scouting first. Knowing their location is enough. In addition, it would be better to find out the purpose of gathering here, but the priority is low.
At that size, it takes time to move. It’s best to spread the news before that, gather all your strength, and wipe it out at once.
Maybe I’ll finish Chapter 3 faster than I thought.
‘I’ve never thought like this and it went well.’
This guy’s tower always gave me situations that exceeded my expectations. Carelessness is prohibited.
Hiding in the bushes, I watched them do it. There is no waterside, but there is fog and visibility is not good.
“Do you know what you are doing? He said he had risen to the position of deputy corps commander.”
“It’s a story from so long ago. I can’t figure out anything just by looking at it now. You have to do something, even guess.”
That’s right. It’s mind-reading if you can tell what they’re trying to do by looking at those guys standing there.
It would be nice if we could find out their purpose through Herelda’s prophecy, but unfortunately, that’s all we found out about them gathering here.
“I’m curious, what corps did you belong to?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“It’s old, but you probably don’t know about the corps commanders over there. A lot of corps commanders have died over there now. I wanted to know something I want to know how many corps commanders are left.”
Currently, there is a vacancy in the corps commander’s position in the 5 Demon Realms.
The commanders of the 1st and 3rd corps who died by my hand. The 2nd corps commander who was killed by a hero candidate. The commander of the 5th corps, who is said to have been dealt with by Oh Ji-hyeok.
There are no known corps commanders after that. I don’t even know if a new corps commander has risen in the place of the dead guys.
It is not known exactly how many corps commanders are left with them.
After thinking about it for a while, Pavant opened his mouth.
“There are six corps commanders who officially exist. Now, there are only two commanders left: Mavanatha, commander of the 4th corps, and Garnet Ziblar, commander of the 6th corps.”
“What if it’s an officially existing corps commander?”
That means that there are corps commanders that don’t officially exist.
“Commander of the 7th Corps. The Demon King’s bodyguards that don’t officially exist. The head of those who are in charge of secret affairs for each corps commander.”
far away I heard him grinding his teeth.
“Dzeko Marlin. There is a traitor king with ten thousand faces. He was also my boss in the past.”
This name is great. You are the king of traitors.
Looking at the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like a very good relationship. I was talking about him like I was chewing and spitting out a lot of stuff, but what should I say?
‘A guy who disguises himself as the other person’s most important person and finds out everything.’
Is he some kind of doppelganger? Looking at it, it seems that he enjoys the way he became a henchman with a new identity and then beat him.
Maybe this guy has been through something similar. It’s just an expectation, but judging from the reaction, I wondered if that would be the case.
At some point, Pavant shuts up. I was too embarrassed to ask more, so I also kept silent.
“They are moving.”
Shortly thereafter, the demons started moving.
