Chapter 37-Disruption of balance (7)

Episode 37 – Disruption of Balance (7)

Countless sorcerers gathered and called dozens of fireballs through their sorcery to split the sky. Its overwhelming firepower and grandeur were the biggest indicators of the growth of goblins, who had escaped from the rule of the demon king after the Great War and were no longer at the level of the lowest level demons.

This bombardment of proud sorcery will wipe out the savage and disgusting monsters. Niel, as well as all the goblins, expected that.

In fact, in the previous battle, their sorcery was almost the only means to protect them from the waves of overwhelming monsters that were not afraid of death.

“That’s…”

“This is nonsense.”

But now it was different. The magic circles that blocked the rushing fireballs were the first time in my life that even Nielg, who had gone through a great war, thoughtlessly muttered that it was nonsense.

“Master, the witchcraft bombardment has failed. Commander!”

They panicked. Even more shocking was the fact that he had mastered it in such a short time than the fact that terrible monsters who seemed to have no intelligence were able to deal with mana.

“Kyaaagh! Almost close!!”

Even the Demon King’s army didn’t give a chance. While all of them, including Commander Nielg, hesitated in shock, they ran frantically without slowing down and approached the vicinity of the fortress wall.

If you don’t slow down, you will definitely be blocked by the wall. However, just before the collision, the group magic of the demon army was activated once again.

“The wall!”

“Shaken 3… Collapse!!”

The ground shook. Concentrating his magic on one point, the demon king literally shook the ground with the intention of destroying part of the wall.

If the goblins were in a normal state, they would have to face each other and offset the shock in order to defend the wall, but the goblins, who were not properly led, could not cope properly. In the end, with a roar that drowned out the screams of the goblins, the dusty wall collapsed and turned into a hill.

“Penetration inside.”

The demon king meticulously controlled the charging soldiers, conserved their speed as much as possible, and poured the troops into the collapsed wall.

Like water bursting from a collapsed dam, black waves began to rush into the city of goblins.

“Stop it… Stop it! Be sure to block it!”

Nielg, who suddenly came to his senses, shouted urgently. This war was no longer a simple subjugation or hunting to level up.

It is a law of nature with no mercy or opportunity, and fierce competition for survival of the species. The losing side has no chance. If defeated, it is annihilated as it is.

At least, the Demon King’s army, who attacked the goblins first, thought so. The only way to survive is to win.

[It’s a carefully crafted object, but unlike other soldiers, it doesn’t feel particularly special.]

Inside the city where a dizzying melee is taking place where countless Demon Lords and goblins are fighting. The screams, high-pitched voices, and explosions from all directions were in full swing.

In such a situation, the Demon King led his troops as usual and commanded the battlefield organically in real time. It was just that one special being among the soldiers he handled was mixed in.

“Keuk.”

“Chief, porridge… kyaaak!”

The goblin knights with their swords pierced the demon king’s army and rushed at the demon king, to be exact, at their own avatars created by the demon king. It was because of the misunderstanding caused by the avatar’s special appearance, which was different from other soldiers.

Of course, the demon king actively moved his body, which he invested more than any other soldier, and cut down all the goblin knights who attacked him.

“I feel an intense power that I have never felt in that blonde woman. You are the queen of these crazy monsters!”

Nielg, who had been fighting around that time, also discovered the demon king.

Seeing the demon king wielding a sword with red energy, Niel got angry and immediately swung the staff in his hand.

“die!”

The magic that bursts out creates a gust of wind and shoots out wind blades. The blade that cut through steel also scratched the ground and flew straight toward the demon king.

‘Unable to respond with current output.’

The Demon King finished the calculation at that moment. Nielg’s spell could not be fully blocked even with the mana he possessed.

And the action was as fast as the calculation.

“Oh, no…”

Nielg widened his eyes in surprise. This is because right before the sword wind collided with the demon king, the two huge assault soldiers threw themselves from the sides to block the sword wind with their bodies instead.

As a demon king, it was a decision he made without hesitation because protecting his body, which had the most investment value, was more efficient than sacrificing a few mass-produced soldiers.

“Such evil…”

However, the image was read differently to Nielg. Suddenly, fear flashed in his eyes. Even the goblin king’s aides, who had accumulated a lot of experience and leveled up through the Great War, had never experienced such a mechanical side of the Demon King’s Army.

‘There is a gap between reuse and magic after use.’

The demon king’s red eyes flashed. It has the face of a delicate human woman, but inside it is a huge artificial intelligence with a large army.

Heading towards Nielg, whose body stiffened at the moment, the demon king spurred the ground with his sword in his hand.

“Does it look funny!”

However, the demon king’s sword could not cut Nielg’s neck. A bluish shield came to mind, and it blocked the sword from exploding an intense shockwave.

At the same time, Nielg cast another spell. The goblins, who had risen in level and became stronger, had already surpassed the limits of goblins.

‘This is impossible to respond to.’

The Demon King was caught up in his magic. At least, he avoided getting his head blown off, but one arm got caught and flew away along with a part of his upper body.

“Heh, hahahahaha!”

Nielg saw that and laughed. He thought he had won.

“I don’t understand why you are laughing.”

“······what?”

“Do you think you won?”

Nielg, who was laughing, froze at the words of the demon king who opened his mouth normally. In his devastated eyes, there was a reflection of the demon lord respecting him with a calm face, as if he didn’t know the pain even though he was seriously injured.

“What do you mean?”

“It is true that the output of strong spirit, which can be called a prototype, is still lacking, but according to the data, in the end this war will end with our victory.”

Rather, the demon king tilted his head as if he could not understand him. Feeling a strange madness at that figure, Nielg forced himself to ask, feeling goosebumps rising.

“Winning…?”

“Even if you fix my body a hundred times and kill me, in the end this war will be won by allies. After all, war is not fought alone.”

“······Unbelievable.”

He looked around blankly. Screams that continue to be heard. All belonged to the goblins.

The blood that kept splashing was all goblin blood. Most of the bodies that fell were goblins, and those who refused to obey orders and ran away were also goblins.

It was already clear which side was advantageous and which side was disadvantageous.

“The current loss rate is 11%, but you are currently estimated to be 41% incapacitated.”

“What is it… what the hell is your year? What are you fighting for!”

The fact of defeat does not go away. Niel couldn’t stand it and shouted at the cool and precise calculation that pierced his chest. After all, it was the demon king’s army who tried to attack first. In fact, Nielg felt it was unfair.

“Revenge for traitors.”

“what?”

However, he was stunned by the demon king’s candid answer, and the accident stopped instantly.

In the meantime, an orc/beta approached the Demon King. He just watched in a daze as Orc Beta cut off one of his arms and handed it to the Demon King.

“Revenge for the traitors who betrayed the Demon King.”

The demon king brought that arm to his own severed arm. The nano at the junction rapidly splits and connects into one, and soon the demon king transforms the completely regenerated arm into his own, answering indifferently.

“Ahh······. No way… really!”

Hearing that answer, Nielg trembled in great shock. A possibility that I wanted, but denied.

He was slumped down in a state of besieged by the numerous Demon Kings who had gathered around him.

“I will serve the new demon king…”

“No, the new demon king does not want traitors who are at the peak of inefficiency.”

The demon king raised his sword again.

Niel, who had already lost his will to fight because of the great shock, just watched it. Even if they resisted anyway, it was certain that they would be captured and killed as long as they lost the war.

***

“Our forces have won the battle, and the enemy commander-in-chief has been killed. At the same time, our allies are pushing back our enemies on other fronts as well.”

“Uh…”

“Immediately, we will increase the scale by nesting most of the occupied territories.”

“Yeah..”

The Demon King just reports as usual. However, he was staring at his phone with a puzzled face somewhere.

In the screen, one object that the demon king was intentionally showing continued to appear.

“So that’s your body? Box D. It’s not a case like Yuria, it’s purely you.”

“That’s right. It is a kind of avatar designed to directly check the composition and operation of subordinate programs, command objects. You can become like a fully human like this.”

“Uh… that’s pretty. But I think it would be better to wear clothes. I am out now.”

At the words of the demon king, who made up plausible words, he muttered blankly, at a loss for words. No matter how you look at it, it was an appearance that had all the elements of the ideal type that he had been reciting.

This, too, was a response within the expected range.

“…”

But this was unexpected. The demon king, who put on his armor again and turned his body against the screen, was flustered at the corners of his mouth that were arbitrarily upward, and tried to avoid it by rubbing it with his hands, but it was not easy to calm down.

‘why.’

There was awareness that he was awakening and learning his emotions, but at this moment, unlike usual, his emotions fluctuated more easily.

“But something about that face makes me call him Box D, so it really doesn’t suit him. Same with your voice.”

“name······.”

It was then that he mentioned his name.

At that moment, the demon king recognized it for the first time. It’s been a long time since the devil broke away from a smartphone artificial intelligence Box D.

It doesn’t make sense for a demon king-like being to be called by the same name as a crappy artificial intelligence that barely answers questions.

“right. It doesn’t make sense that ‘you’ are just Box D. So I’ll give you a name.”

He smiled and said with a light heart that he would give him a name. It’s just something I said without really thinking about it.

But to be given a name. To the demon king, that was never a light meaning.
