Chapter 84 – Ruler (4)

“An old race that has lived since those days… However, I heard that different races do not come out of their respective domains after the Age of Mythology.”

“The data I have gathered suggests that there are such people in the Great War as well.”

“Yes. Like the elven hero Leon or the Beasts who participated in the war as mercenaries from time to time.”

Yuria listened to Lucy’s words and affirmed. Obviously, there are surprisingly many races that exist in this world.

“But Maou-nim, isn’t it impossible to target them now?”

“That’s right. But it doesn’t matter. I will definitely follow it to the end and get the data I need. And it won’t take too long.”

Lucy’s eyes flashed for a moment. At the same time, with Lucy’s hand outstretched toward the dark cloud-covered sky, something flew from the nest at high speed.

The double-edged sword, which was too big for Lucy to hold and wield, barely over 165cm tall, was shining with its own magical energy.

“In making this, it took 100,000 normal demons or 10 cities of magical power through simple calculations. Nutrients consumed while condensing and concentrating it are only for Beta Type 5, which is the main force. So, we have to make sure that we get that much efficiency out of it.”

Lucy spread her wings and soared into the sky. YuRia flinched involuntarily at the sight of her looking more destructive than ever.

‘I can’t guess where the other end will be.’

Clearly, there were many crises. Many of them were crises that were physically and common sense impossible.

However, Lucy and the demon army broke through the crisis no matter what. Then, it continued to grow endlessly.

I wasn’t even satisfied with that. It was also what Yuria was afraid of. Lucy’s desire, that endless greed, was only getting bigger and wider instead of being satisfied.

“What’s your next plan? Is it also Gremory?”

“That’s right. Before they come to their senses and create unexpected variables, we will quickly eliminate them one by one.”

Lucy traversed the air alone, simultaneously moving the troops she had assembled ahead of her and communicating with him to show it.

The goal is the territory of Gremory, the succubus queen, who tried unsuccessfully to capture the last time. Currently, the Pandemonium lords do not know whether Orias and Malphas are dead, or whether Lucy is alive in the first place.

And there is no way Lucy will miss that opportunity. It was Lucy’s purpose to reduce the variables one by one before they unite and create ‘variables’ once again.

“With Gremory, the win rate is 98%. I will never give up.”

Flashing her eyes, Lucy joined the battle, charging her army across the plains below.

Then, tens of thousands of demon lords, including one super-giant species at the forefront, rushed toward Gremory’s castle.

This place, where the sun shines intermittently through the dark clouds, is the same plain where the demon king’s army was defeated before. Lucy returned to the place where her head was cut off and hung on a pole, completely intact.

“Oh no! This is nonsense!”

Gremory, who hurriedly climbed the castle wall, shouted in astonishment when Lucy, fully resurrected, rode on the head of the charging super-giant species and aimed the giant sword in her hand at herself.

For those who thought that there was only a cleanup left, the current situation itself is a disaster in the first place.

“This is the beginning. Hunt for the demon lord.”

[Longinus/Maximum output development]

But for Lucy, who is confident of her victory through thorough variable control, it is a moment of opportunity and glory.

Soon, the power emitted from Longinus, which condensed tremendous energy, hurriedly attacked the castle, which was in a hurry to prepare for defense.

“… this time it’s really according to your calculations.”

An overwhelming major that he admired while looking at the screen.

The defensive magic hurriedly cast by the succubuses certainly offset the power to some extent, but in the end, it was shattered as it was by a wave of pure magic concentrated in one point, and those caught up in it could not overcome the recoil and were torn alive.

“I will break down the walls without the need for a siege.”

Lucy rushed the super-giant into their empty barrier.

This time, the super-giant species, which ran intact across the plain without falling into the mud and maintained its speed, crashed into the wall with its massive head, not caring that its jaw would be smashed.

“Ugh, aaagh!”

“Keep your seat!”

The walls, which were already cracked here and there, could not hold out any longer. The castle wall that exploded with the collision of the super-giant species collapsed as it was, and Lucy, who was riding on it, leaped and reached in front of the embarrassed Gremory at once.

“You, how are you…”

“Did you think you won by killing just one body? It’s time to pay the price. Traitors.”

Lucy did not speak at length. The demon army, pouring in as if exploding after the super-giant species, broke into the castle without encountering any resistance and fought a battle.

Now, Gremory had no choice.

[Succubus Queen GremoryㆍSecond Awakeningㆍlv 70]

“Don’t be cocky!”

Watching her soldiers fall to the cruel Demon King’s army without any mercy, she was convinced that the only one who could stop Lucy right now was herself, and she rushed directly to Lucy.

It was certainly not a bad judgment, but Lucy was already confident in her calculations.

“kill it!”

A magical eye of a higher level of enchantment cast by the Succubus Queen. Gremory, whose eyes shine, puts everything in his specialty instead of engaging in a hand-to-hand fight without confidence.

‘Now!’

Lucy, who was about to wield Longinus for a fleeting moment, stopped moving as she was properly hit by the magic eye of fascination.

Seeing this as an opportunity, Gremory swung the whip at Lucy’s neck.

“Kyaheuk.”

“The magic eye of fascination only works for those who have anguish. So it doesn’t work for me.”

But Lucy immediately moved her arm and grabbed her by the neck. Gremory, who was strangled by the strong force, hurriedly grabbed Lucy’s hand, but the hand was not released.

“Keuk, that can’t be… no way. There’s no way that beings with feelings don’t have gaps…!”

“You don’t even know the magic eye of fascination. Not just you, but others too. It is impossible to use it efficiently because you do not know what kind of body organ, what kind of nerves and hormones the power you use is expressed, and you just use it instinctively.”

Lucy laughed at her, but Gremory struggled with resentment. From her point of view, it was rather impossible to understand Lucy’s words.

“I, who know all these principles, cannot be defeated by your clumsy power. Emotions are just a factor that can be used in the end.”

“Sleep, wait a minute! sleep······.”

Lucy concentrated all her strength in her hands and strangled her as she struggled even harder. When the power finally became stronger than the durability of Gremory’s body, which had not been able to raise the power.

Gremory’s body limp with a terrible sound of thick bones breaking.

“Only five. But it will be faster. Incomparable to what we have been up to now.”

“You worked hard, Lucy.”

After killing the boss, Lucy muttered while watching the enemies being pushed away by her allies, and he replied and praised.

But Lucy was still trying to calculate at this moment.

“It’s really a speed battle. Others must hurry to catch it before the news spreads. Only then can we get all the northern territory, and we can expand to the center.”

“I know it takes a lot of resources, but is it impossible to make more weapons like Longinus?”

“I don’t know if the resources I have will increase, but I’m currently struggling to maintain them.”

In the meantime, he suggested how to make more special battle weapons like Longinus, which give Lucy great strength, but Lucy, who finished the calculations, rather came up with the result that it was more inefficient.

However, that calculation is only calculated based on the present. If you occupy more territories and increase your power, the resources you have will increase as well.

“Gremory’s territory fell?! No way!”

“Yes, it is true. This is the testimony of a survivor who managed to escape!”

“How the hell…!”

The news that spread along with Gremory’s death shook the northern territory at once. The most shocking of all, of course, is that Lucy is alive.

At this point, it became a fact that Orias and Malphas, who had personally led an army and had lost contact, were also victimized.

“Ah, hurry up and gather the lords again! We fell for their tricks!”

Ballack, who had been leading the Lizardmen and dealing with the Demon King’s army, was frightened and hurriedly turned the contact. However, there are only 3 demon lords of the Northern Alliance who can now assemble, which means that their output has been reduced by half compared to what they were able to generate before.

Knowing that, Lucy did not avoid a head-to-head match. In the meantime, Lucy, who had gathered the troops that had been scattered to attack their territory and created a huge mass, attempted a frontal attack toward them as they hurriedly gathered.

It was a quick attack that was carried out at almost the same speed as the rumor that Gremory’s territory had been captured.

“This crazy…”

Ballach, who gathered all his strength again, let out a sigh as he watched the supergiant species rushing fiercely.

Before and now, that rush was literally a castle. A moving giant castle rushes towards you. Whether it was magic or witchcraft, it was impossible to break through the demon lord’s interception and strike them.

The ground trembled so much that it was difficult to stand nearby, and the sense of intimidation and fear made it difficult even to maintain ranks.

Besides, since Gremory and the succubus were destroyed, it is impossible to stop that charge in the same way as before. In his mind, the fact that he had not been able to finally kill the giant species in the last battle came to mind as a deep regret.

‘Can you count from then to here?’

His eyes soon widened. Even at the moment of disastrous defeat, even though she had her own throat cut, she realized that Lucy’s decision to send all the giant species alive was for the sake of this moment.

I got goosebumps at the same time. Unaffected by defeat, fear, or pain, he analyzes and calculates reality only with objective facts, and as a result, is certain of an uncertain future.

In thinking and acting, he is instinctively wary of a way of thinking that is fundamentally different from his own, which always has to fight his emotions.

“What are you? I’m not asking about identity. I mean, how the heck did that happen?”

“Exactly who I am. I don’t know that either.”

Unlike before, in the midst of the waves of the Demon King’s army, which crashed into the allied forces without any hindrance and pushed them away and trampled on them, Balach gnashed his teeth as he saw Lucy appearing in front of him.

In fact, it has already been decided.

“But I am not particularly worried. Because he told me that I am the one and only new being in this world.”

Even so, Lucy did not waver and aimed the giant sword in her hand at him. Even though it is the most barren and small, it is the moment when the group that was in charge of one axis of the demonic realm perishes and a new ruler is about to emerge.
