Maxed Out Leveling Novel

56. Dreadville (2)

There is a building designated as the arrival point of the space movement magic near the royal castle of the Demon King Delite.

The so-called teleport gate is a common sight, not only here, but also at most important bases around the world.

The original space movement is magic that allows you to move as long as you know the coordinates of the point. Unless there is a barrier that prevents movement. So, there is no reason to set the ‘arrival location’.

In fact, the teleport gate is not a grand facility. They just created a wide open space and erected walls and roofs.

However, the Demon Lord is a noble being with only ten people in all of Dreadville. If such a demon appears and disappears at will in the vicinity of the royal castle, the owner of the house feels bad.

Therefore, it was polite to move to the designated gate first, not to a strict place, at least for those who had business to do with the royal castle.

Just like ringing a doorbell when visiting someone's house, if you visit according to a set procedure, you will be treated like a guest. This was a silent commandment passed down among all demons.

“That’s why this place is called honey.”

Said the senior management agent, ending his long bragging in front of the newcomer.

“Cleaning and other chores are all done by the underclassmen. is not it?"

"Yes that's right!"

The lower-class people referred to here were the lower-class demons. The luxurious (?) task of managing the gate is something that can only be undertaken by intermediate demons.

“Our job is to just sit here and look through the watch crystals and report to the captain if anyone comes along. But think about it. Even if you can't use space movement magic, you can't use it only with demons, right?"

"Yes."

“In other words, the number of people who use this place is very small. It must be a lot of work, isn’t it?”

“I don’t think there are many!”

"okay. I'm sure you're the lucky one too. By the way, though, wouldn't it be okay if you, a newcomer, have less work than me?"

"Yes?"

“Come in the car, man!”

“Yes, yes!”

The old man gave instructions to the newcomer who still lacked insight. The rookie, who shouted in a loud, hoarse voice, left the room in a hurry.

“Well, the action is quick.”

A twinkle of light suddenly appeared in the old man's eyes, who had nodded with satisfaction. This is a signal that occurs when someone appears inside the gate.

Who came today? As usual, the old man glanced at the watch crystal ball without much thought and then blinked stupidly.

“… Huh?"

I rubbed my eyes hard to see if I saw it wrong, but the screen that appeared on the crystal ball did not change. However, there is no way that the crystal ball, which has been working fine so far, will suddenly malfunction.

There were five members who moved.

One such detail did not even catch the eyes of the old man. All he could see were those with white, red, and black scales, respectively. It is several times larger than a demon, so the screen of the crystal ball fills up.

“Yo, yo, dragon?!”

The seniors were the generation who had experienced the war against dragon blood before being deployed here. Such an intermediate demon was a pawn, but he knew the fear of dragons better. He fears more dragons than demons. Because demons do not attack demons.

A thunderbolt in the dry sky would be more common sense than this. Why is the dragon suddenly appearing here? How do you know the coordinates here? No, you said there were very few dragons that survived?

The old man, who was in a panic, barely came to his senses. With his trembling hands, he hurriedly reached for the contact tool.

“Dude, boss!”

-what? are guests here?

After a while, a high-ranking demon's voice was heard over the phone.

He used to say things over and over again so as not to offend the captain, but now he was in no mood to do so.

“It’s a dragon! The dragon has come!”

- A dragon?

“Dragon horse! The dragon has now appeared at the gate!”As if crazy, no, actually, the old man, half insane, shouted in an urgent voice.

Because of that, he could not see what the people reflected in the crystal ball were doing.

-Are you happy to be a newcomer? Have you been drinking alcohol since noon?

It was a natural reaction for the captain who could not see the crystal ball. Only the absurd voice came back.

“Oh, no! It's real!”

- What nonsense are you talking about... … .

Their conversation did not last to the end.

Aww!

A terrible shock wave pierced the building with a roar.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

It didn't end in a single blow, but several layers of waves in succession shook the space. The old man couldn't win any more and rolled on the floor.

"Seed… shit... Because it's real... … .”

The ceiling collapsed above the old man who spit out swear words.

If he is a high-ranking hunter from a human point of view, he can end without dying even if he is hit by the rubble of a building, but it is a different story if magic follows him.

Baba Baba Bak!

Countless flashes of light made his body into a beehive. The maintenance agent, who boasted a job like honey to a newcomer, was drowned in a pool of his blood.

In retrospect, it would be the most embarrassing for a rookie to go to work for the first time today. The ray of light rushing like rain pierced through the buildings and the demons equally and crushed them.

“What is this… … !”

Only the person in charge of managing the teleport gate, the only high-level demon, the captain, could barely escape the death ray.

However, there was no hope in his eyes as he escaped from the building.

I thought the guy below was talking nonsense, but he really was a dragon. Not one, but three.

Even the dragon standing in the middle was a dragon he knew very well. Among dragons, individuals with white scales are rare, and individuals with such an enchanting pure white color are even rarer.

“Eh, Elther?!”

After the death of the last Jinryong, the captain could not have known the strongest dragon, who led the remaining dragon blood to resist the demons.

He is hopeless.

Even if three high-ranking demons rush to one dragon, the game doesn't work, but even the number of heads is the opposite. When he enters a battle, he dies as soon as he enters into battle.

‘Go away… … .'

Still, he might be able to run away a bit. It was not too far from the castle, so there was a possibility that he would be rescued if he sent a rescue signal while running away. It's infinitely low, but you should give it a try.

Just when the determined captain is about to move.

As demons know the hearts of demons best, Saltion stepped forward at the perfect timing. With permission from Cha Shin Hyeon, he was not a human old man, but returned to his original form.

It is Saltion, which was hidden from view until a while ago because of the large dragons standing there. The captain's eyes were wide open when he found him.

“Uh, huh? Saltion-sama?”

“Yeah, it’s me.”

Saltion nodded his head gently and moved his steps slowly.

“Did you contact the king?”

“Oh, I haven’t done it yet.”

When he saw the combination of dragons and demons that could never exist before his eyes, the captain's thoughts were temporarily stopped. In the meantime, to the question asked by the superior, the answer came mechanically.

“I must have taught you before. I guess I didn't remember."

"Yes?"

Saltion showed a smile to the captain who asked blankly. He was arsenic and cynic.

Saltion, who was walking slowly, suddenly increased his speed at some point. While the captain was in a hurry, he arrived in front of his opponent. He stretched out his arms without delay.

puck!

A heartless demon's hand pierced the demon's chest. It was exactly where the heart was located.

“If there is an emergency, please contact the royal castle first.”

“Cuckoo!”

The attack I thought I couldn't get hit, I didn't even realize that I had been hit, so I was even a bit late in screaming. The captain's mouth clenched with his eyes full of curiosity and resentment.

In the end, no voice came out.

Pulling out his hand from the dead demon, Saltion threw the corpse on the floor. Even after killing his old subordinate, he was not impressed.

“… Ummm, really.”

Cha Shin Hyeon muttered as she stepped out from behind the Elter.

“Does this mean that we have become the villains? They suddenly come in and kill everyone, pretending to be talking to them and killing them.”

“I’m sorry if you made me feel bad.”

“It’s not like that. After all, demons have no good feelings at all.”

The demons who just died have never set foot on the earth, but they are happy to kill humans whenever they give them orders.

I have already experienced many times that the mental structure of demons is very different from humans. There was no desire to show mercy more than necessary.

“Anyway, if I didn’t contact you, I wouldn’t be prepared at all.”

“I will. You wouldn't have any idea who was going to come in at this point."

“Even if you were prepared, it wouldn’t matter to you at all.”

Elther grunted.

“Even so, there’s nothing good about wasting energy now, unlike when you were on Earth. You have to make it a habit.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who replied with a grin, turned his head. He asked as he looked at the gigantic building towering in the distance.

“Is that the Demon King?”

"That's right."

“It would be at least five kilometers from here to the castle… It's all wasteland. Aren't you kidding me with too much land?"

“Because there are no demons who want to live near the Demon King Castle. Even the Demon King doesn't allow it. Surrounding the empty land like that is a kind of symbol of strength.”

“It’s a very difficult mentality to understand. Well, thanks, it will be convenient. There is nothing to be known about.”

Cha Shin Hyeon bit his tongue and beckoned lightly.

“Shall we go?”

“Are you going straight ahead?”

"then?"

Cha Shin Hyeon questioned it as if it was natural.

“Okay, I’ll see you.”

Saltion was immediately vindicated. The dragons also followed Cha Shin Hyeon.

With Cha Shin Hyeon in the lead, the party floated in the air one after another. Soon they were quickly shot towards the Demon King and flew away.

Even if you fly at a leisurely pace, you can travel 5 kilometers in 1 minute. The Demon King quickly approached.

During the flight, Cha Shin Hyeon gave additional instructions.

“Elther, Kalun, Feltram. The three stay in the sky and only deal with those who run away from the castle. Saltion, direct you to Laprise or something.”

“Are we saying we should get out of the fight?”

“I’m trying to finish the battle before it starts properly.”

Cha Shin Hyeon simply answered Elter's question.

“It’s a place to stay for a while, but it’s difficult if it breaks too much.”Before any further explanations could be given, they were on the verge of a royal castle. Cha Shin Hyeon raised her hand and the group slowed down.

“I don’t need to guide you.”

Saltion said, pointing forward.

“You seem to have noticed when you blow up the teleport gate. He used magic so openly, but you can't tell."

“I spoke as quietly as possible. Still, if he was detected on that street, he would have been exceptional.”

At the sarcastic Saltion, Elther grumbled.

It didn't matter whether the two quarreled or not, Cha Shin Hyeon concentrated on observing the inside of the castle.

“Is it that guy?”

His eyes caught the image of a demon that had just appeared in the vacant lot inside the royal castle.

In fact, asking Saltion to guide you is only a formal order. His sense of transcendence had already covered the entire castle, and among them, only one demon had the strength of a demon.

Cha Shin Hyeon lightly clenched his fist. Extend only one index finger there. He cut his index finger in an oblique line as if drawing a line in the air.

It's crazy!

The sky above the royal castle was split in two along the trajectory.

It was just a simple gesture, but it was no longer simple when the preoccupational power and willpower acted at the same time.

pop! puff puff! Puff!

All the magical barriers surrounding the huge royal castle became useless in a single day. In the aftermath of forcibly broken, small-scale explosions occur one after another near the core of the barrier.

“Saltion, are you finally crazy!”

Lafriz groaned.

He realized that magic was being used in a place not far from the castle, and in the short time he came out, the enemies had already reached his nose.

However, the moment he saw the dragons and Saltion get along, he knew immediately that the situation was serious. Because it would never have been possible under normal circumstances.

“I am only following the command of my master.”

“What kind of bullshit… … .”

“Don’t say too much.”

Cha Shin Hyeon answered instead of Saltion.

“Because you are saying the right thing.”

He walked through the air.

With just one step, he shortened the space of several hundred meters and stood in front of Lafriz.

Before he learned to move through space, the space leaping skill he used occasionally was unfolded in a completely different color with the power of his first spirit.

"100 million?!"

“I am the only ‘master’.”

Cha Shin Hyeon stretched out her hand while kindly explaining to Lafriz, who was spitting out nonsense.

The hand that flew gently was neither fast nor flashy.

However, La Frieze did nothing and grabbed his neck. He didn't know why until the moment he was caught. The moment I stood in front of Cha Shin Hyeon, the will to resist disappeared.

“Damn, what the hell… Saltion, why is that guy again... … .”

"curious?"

Cha Shin Hyeon's eyes were filled with a five-color clerk.

“You will know when you experience it.”

The magic that the Demon King had taught him returned as poison to the Demon King's most faithful subordinates.

“Aaaaaah!”

Laprise's death sentence, which was swept away by the power of annihilation of souls, and whose soul was crushed, resounded terribly.

The five-colored eyes that looked at the end of the devil indifferently were frozen with no movement.
