64 – Chapter 23. Demon Base Dracula – 1

– 65 –

The ruins collapsed in the aftermath of the explosion.

As the tanks took a step back in order not to get caught up in the aftermath, someone’s silhouette was visible through the thick dust.

Are you the commander of the demon army? She used to be a girl.

I was loading and waiting for the Hellfire, and a communication came from the drone.

“The magic pattern is different from before, Erif-sama.”

“What do you mean?”

“The person over there right now is not the enemy captain.”

As soon as the drone’s report was over, the silhouette disappeared into the shadow of the ruins.

“Don’t miss it! Hellfire!”

Explosion Hellfire, which has excellent destructive power, completely destroyed the ruins.

But it was too early to think that the enemy had been defeated yet.

As far as swapping with the enemy captain, I couldn’t help but think that he had some special ability.

If he was also a vampire, it was no wonder he had the ability to fog.

“I am surrounded. Don’t get too close.”

“Okay.”

He formed a siege by commanding the tanks of Zermia and the Elemental Army.

There was no movement in the pile of ruins.

What do I do now?

I couldn’t have confronted them like this.

If there is no further reaction, go to the enemy base as it is.

“Should I melt everything with Hellfire? ….”

Last time I couldn’t check the remaining amount of Manastone, so it wasn’t a good choice considering the last time I shoveled against the boss.

Even now, there is not a lot of mana stones left, so I have to pull them out.

“I’ll rush in.”

Shane, who had been silently helping her attack before, opened her mouth.

“Maybe they dig a trap and wait.”

“Erif. I said it doesn’t matter if it’s anyone but you. Even if the attack is strong enough to lead to death, it will only get out of here.”

Shane made a gesture of calmly asking her to get down after she spoke in a strong tone.

“If the enemy is preparing a surprise attack, one of Nana, Chermia, or Yurine-senpai should go. Sila says, spirits take a long time to regenerate. I feel sorry for every spirit, so I have to go.”

“But… ….”

“Don’t worry. It’s not easy.”

Shane lifted the pendant hanging from her neck.

It was the first pendant she had ever seen.

“What is that?”

“It was lent to me by a senior. It’s something you can wear power armor right away.”

It’s something Yurine gave you.

I was a little skeptical, but if you wear power armor, you won’t be easily hit by any emergency.

She didn’t have a good place to land. As she lowered her altitude to about three meters, Shane grabbed her pendant and she appeared wearing power armor and she jumped out of the helicopter.

It was rough, but it was Shane’s first memorable Helibon.

I’ll try Chermia later.

Shane, who received the shock of her landing by drawing her body with her heavy sound, headed towards the narrow gap between the collapsed buildings.

As if she wasn’t taking her warrior class for nothing, she was agile while holding a thick gun with her two muzzles side by side.

I sent the drone flying over the collapsed ruins to the other side of Shane, and as I was checking the screen, I noticed something moving.

“After Shane rushes in, watch the situation and shoot. Avoid explosive weapons.”

After giving the tank unit an order to prepare to fire, he moved the helicopter and moved it to an angle where Shane would not get caught.

Shane raised her hand and gave her a hand signal.

‘I’m going in.’

Shane folded her fingers one by one as she pointed her gun at the narrow crevice of the ruins.

Kwaang-

Just before rushing in, something popped up from a pile of collapsed buildings, and Shane hit it and flew back a few meters.

Without looking back at him, a black object swooped towards me, who was flying low.

It was a demon who hid in the ruins earlier.

The chain gun fired reflexively tore the demon body apart.

But he didn’t stop.

Turuk

“Ahhh!”

I was so, so shocked that my heart almost stopped in shock.

A demon with a hideously distorted face and tattered body was clinging to the front window and looking at me with red eyes.

Moving his trembling hands and feet, he spun the helicopter and soared high into the sky, and he slid down.

Leaving a dark blood stain on the windshield of the body.

When the demon hanging from Erif’s relic fell, Yurine, who was looking at the screen inside the tank, rushed forward and trampled it.

As the car rumbled and leaned slightly, Chermia closed her eyes tightly.

“Confirmed kill!”

Seeing how happy she looked, Chermia got goosebumps.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but Yuri-senpai seemed to have a slightly strange mind.

When the situation was over, Chermia quickly got out of the tank and looked around her.

After landing the relic, Erif came down with a sullen expression.

“Erif. It’s okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Where Erif cast his gaze, Shane was struggling to get up with the support of the spirits.

“Shane!”

Chermia called her boy’s name and ran to him.

Seeing Chermia supporting Shane, she sighed lightly.

It wasn’t because of the two main characters, it was because of the crazy woman moving the chariot back and forth right now and there.

As I approached, Yuri-ne opened the hatch of her chariot and stuck her head out.

“How are you? I finished it.”

“Yuri. Why? If we had caught him, we would have been able to extract the information.”

At my words, Yuri suddenly erased her smile from her face, and she made a hard expression.

“What? Hold on?”

Yuri jumped out of her chariot, crossed her arms, raised her chin and looked down at me.

“What if that guy suddenly committed suicide with the rest of his power?”

“I hope.”

Yurine grinned and trampled her demon’s hand protruding from the wheel of a chariot with a single shot.

The demon’s corpse soon turned into gray particles and melted into the air.

“I saw it firsthand. Right in front of you.”

“… ….”

There was a bitterness in Yurine’s tone.

Did she say that even in the continent of Pavis, where she was, her gate was opened by a token of a demon?

Then she revived and found out that I had a similar experience in my memory.

I had to keep my mouth shut.

Yuri-ne looked at her feet for a moment with a puzzled expression on her face, then shook her head.

Returning with her characteristic playful expression, she pointed at the two main characters with her chin gesture.

“Boys are still immature.”

“What about Cermia?”

“Not bad. Good hair.”

Shane took the role of directly facing the enemy, so her inexperienced experience became a weakness.

Shain, who came to Yuine’s tank, let out a long sigh.

Thanks to her power armor, she was not seriously injured, but her body and mind seemed to have suffered minor injuries.

“Shane thinks she needs some rest.”

“No, I-“

“Listen to Erif.”

When Chermi was finished, Shane bit her lips.

Yuri, who was watching our conversation, you pointed to her own chariot.

“A little drive will make you feel better.”

The two main characters entered Yurine’s chariot without saying a word.

“Now what? Are you going to attack right away?”

“Yes. If he had just been the enemy captain’s trump card, he wouldn’t be able to run away anymore.”

“What if the same guy runs away again?”

I was taken aback for a moment by Yurine’s words.

By the way, what can you do?

“You have to spit it out until it’s all gone.”

Hearing my words, Yuri opened her eyes and opened her eyes, and then she started laughing out loud.

She doesn’t know what’s funny.

Is the laugh point just weird?

“Yes. If the enemy comes up, kick it, and if it comes out again, kick it again. Right.”

Yuri put on the hat she was holding in her hand.

Looking like a soldier, she stepped onto the chariot.

“Just give me orders at any time. I am ready.”

I didn’t know the intention of fighting together, but anyway, it’s a valuable force.

Besides, Yuri took on the role of taking care of the two main characters, so she was able to lessen her worries.

“Take care of the two of you.”

“Don’t worry.”

Yuri You got into the chariot, and I cleaned her windshield with the help of a water spirit.

After wiping off the indelible bloodstains, I gathered all the troops, including Tyran’s troops, drones and mini-helicopters under my command, and Yurine.

“The rest of the troops are holding out with anti-aircraft guns. Just like you did before.”

“I see.”

After delegating the defense to one of the senior level spirits, I decided to attack the enemy’s main base through the runway that had already been devastated.

Dozens of tanks, ten each of drones and mini-helicopters, and one helicopter.

The simple spirit-human coalition army has begun an advance to drive the demons out of the spirit world.

The place where Astad, who closed his eyes as he watched the attack approaching, came to his senses, was his own dark room.

After looking around for a while not knowing what had happened, she started looking for her lieutenant and family members.

But she couldn’t find the one she was looking for.

As she stepped out of her room, her gatekeeper greeted her in surprise.

Astat asked him the whereabouts of her lieutenant.

“You came in here?”

“Yes. Clearly, the lieutenant made it into the commander’s room.”

“When?”

“That was just a while ago… ….”

In response to the gatekeeper’s answer, she was able to slowly ascertain her authenticity.

Astat entered the room again, sat down on the bed, closed his eyes, and concentrated his mind.

I felt the weakly connected blood ties.

And the cord suddenly broke.

“The lieutenant…… ?”

He, who was the descendant of his parents’ generation and the only remaining blood relative, has disappeared.

His soul, who is not a low-level demon, is not returned to the demon realm.

You will climb into the cycle of reincarnation, shake off your past life, and live the next life.

In other words, he died as a blood relative of Astat.

Through ‘castling’, they changed positions with themselves and sacrificed themselves at will.

I wish I had recovered my strength a little sooner.

If only I had escaped from the enemy camp by crawling without looking for an opportunity at the very least.

Astat fell down on the bed.

After crying for a long time, she woke up when she heard her report that her enemies were coming.

“How many troops are left?”

From nob le mt l dot com

Pretending not to hear the watery voice, the demon officer answered.

“There are three anti-tank gun positions, about 20 aircraft, and about five tanks.”

Where did all the hundreds of aircraft and dozens of tanks go?

I got to this point by rationalizing her with the excuse that she was young and weak.

With a feeling of indescribable misery, Astat hugged his pillow.

“Everyone, run away.”

“Yes?”

“This is a command. A supply unit will come in a little while, so select the soldiers who can cross the ‘barrier’ and escape. The remaining demons must surrender or hide, and when the barrier is broken, return to the demon realm on their own. From now on, all acts of departure from combat will be forgiven by my authority.”

“… Did you say ‘surrender’ now?”

The executive emitted magical energy as if threatening.

The demon executives were more like watchers than Astat’s subordinates, so to speak.

The person who destroyed his troops by misleading the command, shamelessly speaks of surrender without even thinking of killing one more enemy or returning to receive punishment.

The officer placed his hand on the sword around his waist, but Astat just looked at him indifferently.

“Don’t worry. I will stay here.”

“Are you going to surrender?”

As the cadres blatantly chattered, Astad rummaged through his drawers and pulled out one of his old boxes.

She found her key in her arms, opened her box, and took out her necklace, studded with her red jewel.

“That’s… ….”

The executive shuddered and took a step back.

The magic contained in her necklace was somewhat difficult for him, a demon who was a little strong, to endure.

“It is a magic stone called the tears of Jinjo (眞祖). The time has come to use this.”

The executive immediately changed his attitude and bowed his head, as if he had guessed what Astat was going to do.

And then, without saying a word, he went outside to prepare for the evacuation.

The sound of shelling. Explosion sound. The sound of a building collapsing.

The sound of someone dying.

Astat’s ears and senses were filled with countless sounds.

She looked down at her necklace in her own hands.

During the Shinma War, most of the adults in her clan went to the battlefield and died, leaving only herself, who was an infant.

Her grandmother, who was too old to be permitted on the battlefield, had great expectations for Astat, the horse of her clan, to say the least.

But she was just an ordinary demon girl with a slightly special bloodline.

She has mediocre abilities, but the reason she got to this position was solely because of her ancestry and her manpower shortage.

There were no talents in the demon tribe who retreated close to defeat in the Shinma War.

‘That’s why an idiot like me became the commander of a corps.’

Astat smiled a self-helpful laugh, clutching at her necklace.

The manastone embedded in this necklace contains a formidable power.

She shuddered at her grandmother’s warning that she would be poisoned until she was grown up enough, but she had no other choice now.

Astat hesitated for a moment, then gave strength to her hand and broke her manastone.

“hehehehe!”

It became hot as if there was a stake in my heart.

Both reddened eyes were bloodshot like tears of blood, and the wings of the black film were protruding through the skin of the back and the wings were itching.

Her hair, which had shone in her silver, turned white.

As her near-death pain gradually subsided, Astat saw herself grown even more.

Kwaang-

Without even having time to feel her newly acquired power, the entire headquarters vibrated at the enemy’s shelling.

From the looks of it, the magic shield that covered the building didn’t seem to last long.

After spitting the pool of blood in her mouth, Astat opened her window and flew into the gloomy sky.

A black and dark energy followed her like death.
