Episode 74 – Reason for War (4)

I decided to step out in order to survive. At first, Oh Jin-hyeok didn’t understand the words and just blinked his eyes. But it didn’t take long to understand its meaning.

Even if you have strength, it is not easy to decide to fight monsters. The world doesn’t run as easily as creations. There are not many courageous people who will blindly fight monsters just because they have awakened or given money. That’s why the gaze that regards the Awoken who chose to fight as heroes remains.

“I just didn’t want to depend on them and watch them helplessly. I wanted to resist in any way.”

“I see what you mean.”

Hearing his words, Oh Jin-hyeok’s eyes turned elsewhere. Local soldiers who filled the place of fallen comrades with their own bodies. Their eyes were never those of those who were forced to fight by order.

‘I think I can believe it.’

And from this point on, Oh Jin-hyeok almost trusted him. From the very beginning, he felt a strange atmosphere. The atmosphere between leisure and mystery was wary at first, but after building a relationship of trust, it became a basis for trust.

“Does Jinhyeok have a good sense? Like Liam muttering, “Do you see it?”

[Currently, there is only one probable cause. For now, I’ll find a way to control the mana that the built-in cores continuously emit.]

He noticed that gaze too. When he left Oh Jin-hyeok’s side to look at other things, Lucy reacted seriously to his words of bitter laughter and found the cause.

“It’s better not to give it a chance, so let’s do it. I’m curious anyway The eyes that glared at me at the end were pretty brutal.”

After that, the subject of his conversation with Lucy was moved to Liam due to Oh Jin-hyeok’s mention. Oh Jin-hyeok didn’t like Liam’s thoughts, but in fact, they had a different reason for caring about Liam.

“Looks like the feeling you got when fighting him wasn’t an unfounded intuition. That sword and armor, as well as other items. There seems to be something in America.”

[Until now, no magical items have been found so systematically on Earth. It is highly likely that ‘external factors’ worked.]

“It is an external factor. It’s like the things I’m passing on to you, right?”

He hardened his face as he looked at his phone.

Some of the information that could be obtained by becoming a member of the Awoken group was a problem.

A special drug that is said to be used by Awakeners with American nationality. He said that the miraculous sweet water that heals wounds and replenishes physical strength is called holy water.

In addition, there were rumors that he had even activated the dungeon core, which was thought only possible by Lucy.

While learning and learning her powers through the status window, Lucy saw the possibility that earthlings, who were inexperienced in the ability to control magic, the source of it, had a very low chance of achieving it.

“I don’t know right now, and it doesn’t really matter, but just in case.”

He shook his head and brushed the thought out of his head. After all, humans are on the same side. Regardless of where that power comes from, the most important thing in the end is for humanity to become stronger.

But even so, I couldn’t really believe it completely. Because there are variables that he told Lucy to be relieved of. It is the same as applied to the demons. He believed that it was impossible for those variables to always work in a hopeful and good way.

“Your physical condition is normal. However, if there is something that makes you uncomfortable, please let me know.”

When the other side is also busy with probation. It was the same here too. This place has stricter security and boundaries than other places. Of course, it was also a must-have if you had to take care of the country’s precious resources.

“There’s nothing like that, so get out of the way.”

Liam got out of bed, coldly walked past the medical staff who looked after him and put on his clothes again.

“Are you still in a bad mood? I’ll have to wait a bit though. We just blocked access from some Chinese agents.”

“You’re trembling all the f*ckin’ sh*t.”

Nelson, the director of the bureau, came directly to Liam. Like Liam, whose mood was low, Nelson’s face itself was serious.

“Finally failed to find out. The information obtained was that the monster freely transformed its body and possessed excellent stealth abilities.”

“That means he’s no mere monster.”

Liam, who gritted his teeth at Nelson’s words, recalled that unforgettable moment before Liam’s eyes. Black uppers and a large single eye on his chest that glared at him.

A short fight on top of the Behemoth. However, Liam, who had been very confident in his own strength, was defeated by his opponent in all areas, including technology and experience.

The movement of the opponent was literally like a machine. With not the slightest bit of inefficiency, I dug into his loophole and hit him one-sidedly.

‘My eyes are not wrong.’

So he couldn’t admit it. Obviously, in his own eyes, his own power was stronger than his opponent’s.

“I’ll try to track it, but it’s actually close to impossible. Take care of yourself and return to your home country. Didn’t you achieve almost what you wanted anyway? Because I monopolized Behemoth’s experience.”

“…”

However, Director Nelson did not understand his feelings. But if you don’t like it, you can’t do anything on your own.

Anyway, since he achieved more than he aimed for, he was given more power through the status window and became stronger than before.

“What is this?”

And at that moment, something was added to his status window, as if he had finally overcome the wall he had been erecting.

[What price would you pay if you could resolve your dissatisfaction?]

At the same time, a voice that no one else could hear rang in his mind. Liam, trembling, stopped walking and breathing and froze in place.

[Difficult to answer?]

I never heard the hallucinations. The voice echoed again, prompting an answer.

“It is true that unpredictable variables exist on the Earth, where changes continue to occur, but it is also true that we cannot intervene there now. First of all, we have to win the war right in front of us.”

“That, something happened to the demon…”

“Not like that.”

While maintaining communication with Changhyeon, Lucy simultaneously commanded the troops. He didn’t think too deeply about the recently discovered variable, but for some reason Lucy looked so upset that YuRia, who was by her side, noticed.

“We will win this battle and consolidate our victories. The enemies failed to unite in the end.”

Even at this moment, Lucy made the most of the scattered scouts to obtain information in real time.

And through the information obtained in this way, it was also confirmed that the demon lords were split in half rather than united. In other words, Lucy only had to deal with the lords of the Northern Territory.

Baal’s purpose for this situation is unknown, but Lucy used the data given in this way to calculate everything and predicted everything.

“Now, all you have to do is rush in and destroy them all.”

“How long?”

“Until the moment it gets blocked.”

Lucy probably predicted that someday, at the moment when variables not included in her calculation were added, it would eventually be blocked, and of course it would reach its limit.

But unlike the others, I wasn’t afraid of it. I’ve been through all of those processes so far, and I’ve come this far. Lucy rules out all unnecessary worries. Even if such a moment comes again, it is enough to fall over again.

[All troops sortie.]

Soon, the main forces of the Demon King’s army, which had been steadily gathered, began moving all at once. A huge and innumerable army that fills the entire area with super-giant species at the fore.

Standing on the head of the super-giant at the forefront, Lucy looked ahead. Of course, just because the eyes of the body are looking forward does not mean that they are only looking forward.

Her eyes reach wherever there is a troop connected to her, including the scouts she has sown.

“It is no longer a matter of one lord. It is a problem for the entire demon world.”

“For that matter, the Baal gnome and the Southerners betrayed us. You betrayed the entire Demon Realm.”

“······Can not help it. After we stop them, we have to punish them.”

The news of the advance of Lucy and the Demon King’s army to Gremory’s territory was, of course, delivered to the lords of the Northern Territory. They recognized the seriousness and, unlike the case of Flauros, sincerely tried to stop the demon king’s army.

“Bastards… What’s the use of doing that now? When Flauros was alive, we should have trampled on each other sincerely.”

“noisy. You too participated in the battle to get the promised land while trying to drive out Flauros.”

Gremory murmured in despair at the fact that his territory was being targeted, and the centaur who was present tapped the floor with his paws and growled.

“They don’t discriminate against each other. They are the ones who try to uproot and eat the roots of the demons, and then take over this land and replace it.”

“You know what kind of monsters they are, so let’s think of a way to stop them. They are the ones with huge monsters the size of a tall castle wall. How the hell do you stop it? They say you can’t even get scratched with simple magic or spells.”

Anyway, everyone is desperate, so the will to fight is now full. The problem was how. With the appearance of a giant monster that appears only in legends, they had to solve the war with the demon king’s army with a level of difficulty that was incomparable to before.

‘Now is the most important thing.’

At the same time, many of those present at the scene felt it. They’ve already missed a few chances. The moment Andras, the Goblin King, is defeated, the moment the Brown Orc King, Flauros is slain, and so on.

Even with each missed opportunity, the opponent continued to grow stronger. After all, they were the ones who gave the opponent a chance to grow and continue to grow by repeating the war.

So now, they intuit that their chance is now their last. If they miss even this time, they will now be unable to stop an opponent who is bigger than all of them put together, and will fall into prey and be eaten. Furthermore, all of that data will be extracted and eaten, and it will be used thoroughly. Lucy had no intention of doing that, but it was literally an act that completely trampled on her pride.

“I will fight myself. Neither do you. Fight with all your heart and with all your might. Just like the day I fought the demon king.”

Andromalius, the werewolf warchief, growled and bluffed the other lords. It wasn’t without complaints, but since everyone knew the current situation, there were no objections.

The moment when, for the first time, they unite without division or vigilance. The variable that he and Lucy had predicted, this time, unknowingly, raised the hands of the Pandemonium lords.
