Episode 79 – The Reason for the War (9)

“Kuhh…?!”

“aaa…”

The police forces who had been beaten up were frozen on the spot. From what I’ve heard, the magic eye of fascination is controlling the emotions of the opponent by taking control of the other person’s nerves with magical power.

The succubuses used this to weaken the opponent’s mental power and use it as they intended, but Lucy didn’t bother to go that far.

[If you do not have exceptional mental strength or strong magic resistance, you will be stunned for a while.]

I passed them who couldn’t move. If you find a chance to hide again, you will be able to get out of here safely without colliding.

“Ah! There it is!”

“Catch it!”

But getting that timing wasn’t easy. I had no choice but to make a frontal breakthrough against the continuously swarming guard troops. As long as you can see the sky, you can spread your wings and fly high.

[This is an object presumed to be an Awakener.]

In front of me, there was a man of gigantic size who came running with his teeth clenched and thumping.

And in the meantime I recognized him. As a person who became an awakened person with the status of an incumbent police officer, he was determined and supported by the National Police Agency and appeared in various media, and he said that he continues to work as a special police officer.

“die! monster!”

Its ability is to turn its entire body into a solid rock material, increasing its weight and muscle strength exponentially. His heavy fist flew right into my face.

[Activate non-lethal close combat program.]

“what!”

The built-in steel core heats up, and my hand, which is instantly burning with magical energy, rather grabs his hand.

I didn’t think I would be pushed out of my power, so I didn’t give him a chance to panic, and my body moved violently and launched a violent and rough melee fight.

“Kuhk, kuhk…”

Footsteps that shattered the floor, and punches that tore through the air in an instant. The experience that Lucy has established so far is a direct analysis and condensation of numerous combat experiences experienced by ‘all’ demon army entities based on artificial intelligence’s unique learning ability.

Now, the skills that even experienced and skilled demon warriors could not handle were poured indiscriminately. The punch, which could be considered an absolute master’s punch, he, who must have learned his own martial arts, could not respond and was beaten and stumbled.

[The output is 28% of the opponent’s, and as a result, it was effectively suppressed with a narrow advantage.]

The result is a victory achieved with significantly less output than the opponent. The moment he groaned as he flew through the air after being pushed roughly, Lucy reported the situation in a calm tone as if it was a natural result.

“Stop!”

Clearing the biggest obstacle, I charged forward furiously.

The cops who followed him pulled out their pistols and tried to stop me somehow, but I pulled out my wings and deflected all the bullets with my hardened wings, pushing them past them and finally going up to the first floor.

[They keep coming. 50 or more humans, 2 or more Awoken.]

“It is not our purpose to fight them.”

Troops pushing in from the front and side gates. I ignored them and flew straight up, smashing the first floor lobby window with my body.

Leaving behind the hail of gunfire and shouting, he quickly climbed into the sky. Afterwards, it was only when the thick clouds wrapped around my body that I tried to hide and disappeared.

“There will be no more fighting. Think about giving it back then and do your thing now, Lucy.”

[All right.]

Looking at the night view of the city beneath my feet, my excited heart gradually subsides. Even as I am surprised at the level of my actions that are gradually rising, I urged Lucy to produce results.

[I got a call from Lee Ji-yeon.]

“・・・・・Change it. I know, but I need to let them know that no one was seriously hurt.”

All that remains now is smoke. Acting as an ordinary ordinary person who is surprised by unexpected news.

“Oriaas, king of the cave trolls, and Malphas, king of the harpies, reached this distance without realizing it. Judging by the fact that they deliberately passed the friendly nest on the way, they seem to have information about ‘this place’. But… this is the object of our hope.”

His role is over. The rest is up to Lucy herself. Lucy raised the sword in her hand. It is obviously an ordinary longsword, but the blue jewel in the middle of the guard is special.

A power that uses the activated dungeon core as energy to supply magical energy to all weapons and resonates with external forces. This power was exactly what Lucy needed.

“You can’t face Oriath and Malphas at the same time. But they seem to have a clear purpose here, so we need a way to entice them and tear them apart.”

“How are you going to do that?”

“You just have to give it that strong bait.”

Someone from the nest walked up to Lucy. Lucy showed it to him.

“Yuria?”

“That’s right. As far as they know, YuRia, the last remaining top-level command object, will serve as a decoy and separate them.”

Lucy proudly showed Yuria. And, as Lucy expected, he didn’t notice anything strange about Yuria’s appearance, where she knelt down on one knee and bowed her head in a controlled manner.

“Then do it. How long will it take to analyze the sword?”

“The analysis itself doesn’t take long.”

After that, Lucy naturally changed the screen shown to him. In the end, he couldn’t see YuRia’s empty, empty eyes.

“What we need most is to increase the efficiency of the steel core and increase the amount of mana. But now that is not possible, we have to increase the output in other ways.”

Lucy pulled out the limit of output for the reason that she couldn’t create an exceptional object that could catch the demon lords.

With many strengths such as detachable type, fast charging, free design, etc., the problem of steel heart, which is the power source of the Demon King’s army, is that the limit itself is clear.

Lucy brought in a new technology from outside to solve it.

It is a technology in a different area than deciphering the genetic data of living things, but the process of learning itself is very familiar to Lucy.

Learning a new skill itself is not that difficult for Lucy, who has increased her learning through thousands or tens of thousands of calculation attempts in a short amount of time.

“If the dungeon core part is replaced with steel core, it will be possible to mass-produce by applying and transforming this special magic circuit.”

Indeed, it didn’t take Lucy to find out the secret. Although it is only a small part, it is an interpretation of a part of the code of the ability that the ‘system’ has given to the awakened people.

So it is also possible to reproduce it.

“Is that enough?”

“no. If this could be used more effectively.”

Lucy was not satisfied with that and began to create a new system to apply to the Demon King’s army.

As it has been so far, the technology in Lucy’s hands becomes a type of technology that only Lucy can use, and is used as a weapon to suffocate the natives. Usually, the skills of the demons were like that.

“However, it takes a lot of resources to output the target value as a result of the calculation.”

“How much?”

“It is impossible to make an exact estimate, but it is equivalent to hundreds of gamma and delta types with strong cores.”

However, the reason Lucy hesitated to make the decision was because the estimated resources required for a single one were enormous.

Lucy still didn’t have the technology to replace nutrients with magical energy. All magical powers were absorbed during battles, etc. Magic was a resource that could not be used carelessly.

“But if that’s the only way, there’s nothing you can do about it. sun.”

It was his decision that held that heart at that time. No matter how much her identity increased, in the end, at the crucial moment, Lucy obeyed his judgment.

“The basic principle is to power the entire weapon with a small power source. But it’s structurally inefficient. The larger the power source used in a weapon, the greater its amplifying power.”

“No, isn’t there a limit because it is attached to a weapon? Are you sure you don’t intend to make the weapon too big?”

“It is a discarded hypothesis.”

After dispatching troops to confuse the enemies advancing here, Lucy began production in earnest. A decisive battle weapon made by investing enormous resources to fill Lucy’s current shortcomings at once.

“I will make the entire body of the weapon strong.”

“her.”

Lucy showed him the blueprints. A huge double-edged sword with a length of nearly 5m and a blade width similar to that of Lucy’s torso. Its body and the entire blade extending to both sides are made of a glossy dark red steel core.

Its ignorant size and terrifying appearance made him involuntarily sigh.

“Can you hold this and wield it?”

“It is a true weapon whose built-in self-energy output is several times that of my body. If completed, the main body will rather be this.”

One hundred thousand words. Lucy didn’t hesitate or regret once the decision was made, she just looked ahead and went straight ahead. A giant ore was created at the steel core production plant by pouring stored magic power into it, and Lucy cut it herself to create the weapon she wanted.

“I feel the power.”

And when I finally got my hands on it.

The hearts in Lucy’s body resonated with the weapon and released magical energy. It was a tremendous amount of energy that Lucy herself had never felt before moving the body of a single entity.

“Is there a name you’ve been thinking of?”

Lucy, who had the body of a slender woman, was holding a weapon much bigger than her body.

“The holy spear that brings victory, Longinus.”

Looking at the weapon she created, Lucy, who was filled with strange joy, broke his expectations and answered without hesitation.

It was the moment when he confirmed Lucy’s obsession with mythology that she secretly harbored.

“Now this will bring us real victory.”

Lucy, uncharacteristically hasty, raised her weapon and flew straight up. While Yuria lured one of the demon lords, the plan was to take care of the remaining one herself.

***

“Malphas, you follow me. Kill all those annoying remnants!”

“I’ll go even if you don’t say so!”

In fact, Lucy’s plan was working well there.

“last! it’s really last It is clear that there is something ahead of this known place of their origin!”

Malphas led many of his harpies to pursue Yuria and the flying species who were bothering them with magic. They already knew where the demon army first appeared through goblin survivors and others, and came all the way here to attack it.

And considering Yuria’s appearance as proof of the hypothesis, they became convinced of their thoughts.

“My king. What if this is an inducement!”

“Being lured means that you have that much confidence. However, if these guys who turned the majority of their troops outside were really confident, they should have come out right away. This is not an inducement. It’s crazy!”

Malphas chased Yuria with all his might.

He instantly exploded his magic to close the distance, knocked out the flying species and caught up with Yuria.

“Die, a terrible monster who is neither human nor demon!”

Twisting his body, he swung his magically entangled feet and released three slashes splitting from his claws. Caught up in it, Yuria’s shield shattered and she fell to the ground, splattering blood in three pieces.

‘······Is this the end? really?’

Malphas smirked as he looked down at her dismembered corpse. However, a feeling of embarrassment lingers in the corner of my heart. Because of that, he raised his head and looked behind him.

“Orias.”

What he saw was a huge flash of light and an exploding shockwave. The intense energy soaring into the sky was clearly visible even from here several tens of kilometers away.
