Chapter 67-Collapse of Order (7)

Episode 67 – Disruption of Order (7)

“Beasts of the abyss, black iron bugs!”

Leria, the succubus commander. She gnashed her teeth as she saw the enemies coming towards her.

The enemies who made their appearance in earnest and finally took the lives of the demon lords, making the demon lords nervous, who were only full of thoughts to check each other, were literally the devil.

Strange and distorted monsters that even the inhabitants of the Pandemonium have never seen before, and which cannot be regarded as normal creatures, they called them black iron bugs in reference to their distinctive black carapace.

‘Too much is too much!’

Leria grumbled while brandishing the whip in her hand.

One of the characteristics of black iron bugs was their number and troop turnover. As if they weren’t calling them bugs for nothing, the black iron bugs popped out endlessly and induced endless wars of attrition with them.

“Get out of the way! A succubus’ power won’t help you deal with them!”

Then a large, dark-skinned centaur shoved her past, carrying huge halbers. Then she split the head of the enemy who rushed at her at once, and she was embarrassed and swallowed her anger inside without being angry.

‘What the hell are these crazy monsters!’

I was openly ignored, but the most intense thing was that I couldn’t refute it.

As the Centaur Raid Captain just passed by, the power of the succubus, including her, was ineffective against these unique enemies.

“I mean, eat some!”

[Enchanting Mystic Eyes]

After she exploded, she withdrew her whip, glared at the [Harpy/Alpha] attacking her, and raised her strength.

‘why?!’

Lelia, who was shooting her magical energy at the six shining eyes in her helmet with her softly shining eyes, hurriedly leaped backwards with her face wrinkled.

It definitely landed on the magic eye, but [the harpy/alpha] swung its huge claws and tail at her without the slightest hesitation.

The magic eye of fascination, the power of a succubus, seduces the mind of the original target and puts it into a state of fascination that makes it impossible to think and act properly.

To overcome this, you need to have strong mental strength or special defenses. The problem is, the [Harpy/Alpha] she now faced didn’t escape the magic eye of fascination in that way.

“Even mere beasts are effective, so what are you! Are you really even a walking doll!?”

Leria couldn’t understand at all.

Are the black iron bugs so simple that they can’t see through them? That was absolutely not the case. The black iron bugs have already completely devoured parts of the Demon Realm.

However, they were not simple corpses like the undead. The black iron bugs obviously inflicted enormous damage on them with unconventional and irregular tactics and combat methods.

But even so, they acted as if they had no ego, no feelings. After all, it’s one thing that mystic eyes can’t shake even the slightest bit.

Leila has already realized that the black iron bug [Harpy/Alpha] she is dealing with is a being without ego, emotion, or intelligence.

“Seed…”

She gnashed her teeth after defeating the [Harpy/Alpha] with the whip she wielded with magical energy.

The concept of a terminal driven by a program is unfamiliar to her. The demon army they call Black Cheolchung is such a being in the first place, and the central control system that commands the demon army is fundamentally a program.

Mechanized life forms that find and use the extremes of living things in a mechanical way, that was the identity of the newly appeared monsters on this land.

“But it’s almost penetrated! Their nest is right in front of you!”

yelled the centaur assault captain wielding a halberd. No matter what the process was, the Pandemonium Alliance was not weak.

The Pandemonium Allied Forces united with each other can compensate for each other’s racial weaknesses, and above all, there are many experienced veterans who have yet to go through a great war.

Just because the succubus are not using their power doesn’t mean that others are also weak.

“If you destroy the nest, those in the vicinity will stop their activities. Nest! Destroy the nest!”

They tried to break through and destroy the nest by force. It’s been a long time since I found out that I already get nutrients from the nest.

Cutting the enemy’s supply route is a tactic that boasts a long tradition.

Soon, their vanguard advanced to the corner of the demon king’s nest. Their momentum made me feel determined to destroy the nest even if they were annihilated here.

“How long are you going to care about it? Just as it doesn’t work on the saintess, of course the magic eye might not work on all enemies.”

“That sounds like you’re excited. Are you glad you’re going to make a major?”

The centaur raid leader and Leria fought until the end. It was just a slightly relaxed conversation.

Even if we keep tickling each other, I think that if they hold hands properly, they are stronger than anyone else.”

“Of course I’m happy! It’s an opportunity to prove it! I will definitely stand in a higher position!”

The centaur stormtrooper, who laughed heartily, thumped the shield with the sword in his hand, and then rushed forward again leading his troops.

He is now full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm. For him, this moment was an opportunity to go to a higher place like those who went through the Great War and became lords.

‘Win, set a bigger major.’

His ego peaked just before the attack. The confidence that you can do anything came and your brain secreted adrenaline.

“…uh?”

However, his long-awaited attack did not even reach the enemy general.

The momentary sight of oneself flying in the sky. In that field of vision, he could see his torso falling in half, dripping with blood.

***

[Some of the subprograms have started modifying their own code themselves. I failed to identify the reason and cause, but I decided to take the advice and use them to continue to grow on my own]

Actually, Lucy didn’t like that fact. A program that ‘grows by itself’ means that it is the same as its own backward compatibility.

But he had a different idea. Rather, he saw this as a positive thing.

“They are you, Lucy. Another possibility of you. You can think of them as your alter ego, or you can think of them as your children. What is certain is that their growth is your growth.”

[Then I will grant them permission]

Lucy accepted his words and rather began to use the subprograms in question. I adjusted the operation area so that I could invest my strength and gain experience.

The mutant subprograms that those born that way grew and remodeled themselves, one of which Lucy named Missionary was the entity that guarded the nest here and commanded the troops.

“Nonsense!

Everyone on the scene was perplexed. Because no one expected that the centaur raiding leader would be killed in such a pointless one-shot.

In particular, Leria’s shock was even greater. The existence that subdued the centaur raid leader with a single sword looks no different from an Orc/Gamma possessing both external and internal steel spirits.

However, as a succubus with the power of seduction to dig into and use the emotions of others, she saw something different.

Something rough, crude, and intensely fluctuating, sleeping inside cold and mechanical behavior. Realizing that it was something like emotion, her face turned pale.

‘Maybe it will work.’

She made up her mind. Anyway, since he confirmed that the opponent was not a dull doll, he thought that his power might finally work.

“More guys are coming…!”

“I can’t believe it. How can I do more here!”

At that time, the number of the Demon King’s army protruding rapidly increased. They don’t know, but the new nutrient supply system of the Demon King’s Army has already started its operation.

Due to the surging nutrient efficiency and supply and demand, the additionally produced troops finally broke the limiter and continued to proliferate.

“Hu, retreat! There are too many of them!”

In the end, the allied forces trying to occupy the nest had no choice but to retreat after seeing the enemy’s power that was different from their expectations.

And Leria stood there with a hardened face and looked at the enemy general, Orc Gamma, floating above the storming Demon Lord army.

The Demon King’s army didn’t bother to let them go. Enemies who flee are the perfect prey to slaughter. If it went on like this, it was obvious that they would suffer great damage.

“Leria-sama!”

In such a situation, she shook off the people around her and ran forward without realizing it.

‘If only I could defeat him!’

The allied forces now also know the composition and habits of the Demon King’s army to some extent. It has been a long time since it has been discovered that command entities, which they call high-level, take command of ordinary soldiers, and that when the command entities are removed, the movements of ordinary soldiers become dull and monotonous.

Based on that, she saw hope. The hope of using the power of the succubus you possess to eliminate the enemy commander and save your allies.

“You want to cut me!? Look at me before that!”

Orc Gamma aimed her sword at her who spread her wings and rushed at her. However, her eyes flashed faster than the enemy’s sword cutting her body, rather than the nearby demon king’s army attacking her.

“It’s eaten!”

Leria was convinced after seeing the behavior of Orc Gamma, who stopped acting for a moment. Even at the moment she flew and approached, Orc and Gamma could not escape from the fascination, only resisting with a shudder.

‘It will definitely end.’

She raised her magic even more. Holding Orc Gamma’s face with both hands, he poured more power of fascination toward the eyes in the rough and hard helmet.

“You can’t escape. There’s no way you or the like can corrupt even a priest with sincere faith.”

Smiling faintly, she aimed her dagger at the completely frozen Orc Gamma. The spirit of the Orc/Gamma she had read was like that of an unrefined child, let alone training and perseverance.

“…!”

But at that moment. Leria was taken aback by the sudden change in her opponent’s eyes.

‘Wait, this is…’

Along with the slowly moving body of Orc Gamma, her eyes shook rapidly.

Realizing that he had been mistaken, his thinking stopped. She evidently judged her opponent’s tough spirit as simple and immature. Actually it wasn’t wrong.

“Kyaaagh!”

However, what she overlooked is that those whom Lucy named the Missionary in the first place are more than just immature. The fragments of their emotions and minds are primitive and primitive beyond immaturity.

If the words themselves do not work, seduction and fascination are of no use. This unconditional anger toward the enemy is indistinguishable from instinct.

“Shut up…”

Grabbed by her hair, Leria screamed and fluttered like a fly caught in a trap, before losing consciousness as the blade pierced her chest and spurted blood.

[Hypothesis fulfillment rate 63%]

Lucy, who was watching this scene, judged it a victory and immediately proceeded with the next plan. This is just one battleground victory.
