Chapter 46 – Laws of Nature (6)

Episode 46 – Laws of Nature (6)

“Everyone, don’t panic. I can stop it enough!”

The Orc commander, taken aback by the continuous bombardment, shouted and somehow got his men under control.

But Panic couldn’t hide himself. In the first place, such an attack was unimaginable.

Even the Demon King’s army, based on demon beasts that were inherently unique, was not to this extent. However, the Artillery Corps and Alpha are a kind of synthetic weapons that Lucy has been putting off.

In the meantime, the characteristics of the Demon Army, which have been made simple with a few additions, synthesizing and remodeling the characteristics of various species, have been revealed to the extreme.

Sufficient experience accumulated so far, abundant data, and improved efficient computing power made it possible to step in at least a part of the ‘efficient full synthetic remodeling’ that was the realm of dreams.

‘How can this be!’

The orc commander, who was leading the warriors and rushing forward, shuddered at the sight of the thorny awl that broke with a strong impact and sprayed poisonous bodily fluids that vaporized as soon as it came into contact with the air.

It wasn’t enough to instantly kill the orcs by drinking a little vaporized, but it was enough to numb them or make their actions dull.

“Daejeon boss! They’re coming! Four, they come from all directions!”

“Take your soldiers and hold on, Ulu! And confident warriors follow me. There are these crazy spike-shooting monsters out there!”

Watching the crowd of Demon Kings, he grinded his teeth and made a detached team including himself. In an instant, lumps that could be seen faintly far away.

Seeing the artillery lined up firing barbed awls, he thought to quickly get rid of them before the main force was bombarded again and again. Because the orcs had no way to attack an opponent that far away.

‘Terrible monsters! If you approach it, you can destroy it in an instant.’

Raising his mana, he rushed forward with the most valiant warriors. Splitting the heads of the attacking soldiers and slashing their bodies, they managed to clear a path.

At least, it was easy to break through the encirclement with a single point breakthrough, thanks to the Demon King’s army attacking in a siege manner.

“Enemy enemies dealing with mana are approaching.”

Of course, it was to some extent expected for Lucy, who was coordinating the entire battlefield in real time.

“Even if you fire at the orcs out of range and poison all your soldiers to attack them, you still have to respond in the same way to catch the enemy warriors who have strengthened their bodies by using mana.”

“Can you?”

“The total amount of mana absorbed by destroying the goblins is thousands of times greater than before.”

Looking at the Orc warriors running towards this place, Lucy replied to him who was watching from a different place than here.

At the same time, translucent ores embedded in Lucy’s body glowed red. Another heart of the Demon King’s Army made by combining high-purity mana. The mana contained in it circulates through the body, strengthening the body with miraculous power and allowing mana to be manipulated.

“I heard that mana is usually innate. There is a difference in the ratio, but whether it’s a goblin or an orc, not all individuals can learn it. That’s why I think it’s an important force. But we are different. Soldiers who can handle mana can also be mass-produced.”

“That’s right. And it is also free to increase or decrease its output. Orc warriors deal with 5 steel cores worth of mana on average, so our allies fight with 5 steel cores equipped.”

A group of soldiers gathered around Lucy.

Each of them, each holding a weapon two heads taller than her, all sparkled with ore embedded in their bodies, and the eyes in their helmets flashed.

All of them are command objects responsible for small field command. At the same time, it was a high-level entity of the Demon King’s army to snipe enemy warriors who deal with mana.

[Group spell development.]

Lucy led them and didn’t rush right away.

One of their strengths is the presence of freely available magic. It is all basic elemental magic based on human magic acquired through Yuria, but Lucy has modified it to the limit based on her unique computing power.

“W-what is that…! no way!”

The Orc commander, who was running with the warriors, was shocked to see the sky. Because countless fireballs were falling towards them.

“Oh, is it magic? incantation?!”

A place where a huge shockwave and heat passed by. The Orc commander, who managed to hold on through the thick dust, swung the ax in his hand to remove the dust.

Many of the Orc warriors, who had allowed a blow in a defenseless state, could not stand it and were rolling on the floor.

‘I did listen!’

It wasn’t that there was no information. The goblins who escaped clearly testified that the other person was using bizarre magic. It’s just that I forgot about that fact and fell into arrogance because of the winning streak so far.

“Everyone wake up. There’s no way I’ll ever be able to do an attack like this again… Kkeuh?!”

However, as he looked around and urged his subordinates, he could not finish his words. At the same time, a fierce battle took place in the surrounding area, and the screams and shouts of other orcs who could not escape the shock resonated.

“You, you!”

He was horrified to see the sword he had barely blocked with his axe. The one wielding a sword with a glowing dark red aura was a being with the face of a beautiful human woman and the body of a monster made of hard armor.

I’ve heard this too. It was said that a human woman clad in armor commanded the monsters and destroyed the goblin army.

“······good. If so, here I, Grand Master Batu, will defeat you and bring this battle to victory!”

Gripping this, he declared an honorable warrior’s duel against his opponent. If you defeat the enemy’s boss alone, it’s only natural that the morale of your allies will rise.

‘I can’t lose to this monster.’

He wielded an ax while practicing martial arts that he had trained for a long time. A special skill that combines earth magic and martial arts, and can only be used by the Grand Master or higher.

The ground he hit cracked open, scattering fragments, and the fragments entwined around the ax he wielded, scattering strong attacks.

‘I win!’

In this special skill, the opponent could barely resist with a shield that raised mana. Seeing that, he was sure of victory. It is to win the duel alone.

“Chehehehe?!”

But in the moment of excitement, he couldn’t even look behind him. Two spears rushing in from the sky pierced his stomach and thighs, respectively. Holding the spear are other monsters with black feathery wings.

In this dizzying melee, he aimed precisely at the gap and stabbed him.

“This, such a coward…”

“It’s not cowardice, it’s efficiency.”

“!!!”

Swinging an ax to remove enemies, he was trembling with blood flowing from his punctured body.

A blow with dark red mana. His body, which could not be defended, was split in half from the shoulder to the side and was severed as it was.

***

[The first battle seems to end as predicted.]

“It seems that the other person was a bit careless.”

[I don’t think it’s their power.]

“I’m glad it ended well.”

Looking at the screen, I smiled bitterly. Now I see and hear two Lucy. Lucy wielding a black sword on the screen and slashing the bewildered enemies, and Lucy reporting to me now.

On the screen, Lucy’s voice is clearly audible even though she doesn’t move her mouth, perhaps because of the battle. In the first place, that body is something like a terminal.

The essence of Lucy is the Demon Lord Army that I can see right now.

[All occupied lands occupied by Orcs. We will mobilize the forces prepared so far and attack simultaneously.]

“If it goes according to plan, the Orcs will continue to dispatch soldiers to avoid losing their land. A war of attrition that naturally follows. But we don’t lose in a war of attrition.”

Lucy expanded the war to the fullest. Make the enemy overreact and pour resources and troops into it. In the end, it was a strategy that was convinced that it would induce a war of attrition, and that it would never lose in a war of attrition, which required rapid circulation of resources and troops.

War, war, war. No matter where you turn the screen, if you look at another area far enough away that the height of the sun changes, there is only war.

But for Lucy, that’s a boon. Lucy grows and evolves as she goes through war. neither tired nor tired

“I decided to enter the dungeon this time. If you do well, you might be able to find a new specimen. That’s when I need your strength, Lucy.”

[I am always with you.]

Seeing that, I thought I couldn’t stay still like this. Of course, there was a contradiction in needing Lucy’s help for that, too.

“Gates, breakout gates, and dungeons. In fact, I am most worried about what will happen in the future.”

Lee Ji-yeon sighed and muttered that.

Dungeon is a new gimmick that has appeared in the past week. I haven’t been able to adapt to the sudden gate yet, but a new storm hits one after another.

“What exactly is a dungeon? Is it accurate that it came out as an article?”

“If the gate is for the monsters to visit us, the dungeon is for us to visit the monsters.”

Lee Ji-yeon, an active Awakener, explained the dungeon in detail. Just hearing that explanation, it was the same as the dungeon in the creation, to the point where it wouldn’t have been called a dungeon for nothing.

“It’s going crazy.”

“The ratio of Awakeners is increasing that much, so it’s not unreasonable. Something else is just a problem.”

As the number of sh*tty phenomena increases, the number of awakened people actually increases significantly. But, as she muttered with a dark face, not all Awoken will jump into the fray.

“Anyway, are you really planning to enter the dungeon? He said he didn’t want to fight.”

“I still hate it, but it’s not like I can’t say no.”

Returning to the main topic, she had an expression of incomprehension. But I kept in touch with her to use it at times like this, and I just glossed over it.

I still want to live as an ordinary normal person. It’s just that the situation is so unavoidable.

“There is one dungeon reported to our team. You have to manage it thoroughly, but what… As always, it’s sh*t. I think I can get over it just fine.”

“great.”

“But is it really okay? Just the two of us?”

Lee Ji-yeon, who threw herself for people without hesitation, also seemed uneasy. Well, this isn’t about saving people, but we’re going to attack first, so it’s reasonable.

“If you don’t want to do it, come back.”

I smiled and avoided her eyes. It’s two, so if you look at it, it’s not just the two of you. I assure you, the strongest among us is with me in my phone.
