104. Infinite Battlegrounds (3)

“… … .”

When I opened my eyes again, fortunately I was able to come to my senses not in an unfamiliar ceiling, but in a very familiar place.

“Fuck… … .”

This was the research area inside the Leviathan, and the body immersed in the culture medium had not been used yet, so it was in very fresh condition.

Of course, only this body was fine, and the mind was quite devastated right after experiencing the indirect experience of death through an alter ego.

“This looks like the Transcendental Body you only see in games.”

It was really just like that.

Even though it was a short time, I passed out due to the shock of the death of my alter ego, and during that time, I completely lost control of the corps itself.

Of course, since the legion queens and other alter egos were doing their part, it didn’t happen that the whole legion was thrown into chaos like in a game, but it was an incident that hurt my pride.

“I’m genuinely sorry.”

The legion that went out to attack the [Demon King] was attacked by a newly appeared demon and was wiped out, and the son of a bitch laughed at me triumphantly in his fortress.

This was the first humiliation I’d suffered since taking over the Legion, and the fact that I was looked down on by him was really irritating.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“… … it’s okay. What about my sword?”

“we are here.”

The man who appeared next to me didn’t look very good, probably because he himself was quite embarrassed by the situation in which the corps’ attack was thwarted.

“Hey, that guy… … .”

“Halfas. Halfas, the 38th rank of the Demon Order. The only one who builds a fort using a catapult like that is Halpas.”

“… … You know better than me.”

“The information that the Prakchi goat passed on is quite rich. By the way, old man… … .”

Thanks to my sword-like predictive ability, the party returned safely without anyone dying, but it was not enough to comfort me, who suffered a huge blow to my pride when the attack failed and even fainted.

As long as I went out myself, it was only natural that no one in my party should get hurt, and the attack operation with all the strength of the corps had to be successful.

“… … uh.”

“It sounds like shit. Yes?”

“… … .”

Such a humiliating defeat is unbearable.

I will send me the kids who laugh at me and the devil who laughed at me to heaven.

“I have to be very sure of that baby.”

Just an ordinary victory doesn’t fill the castle.

To mend the wounds of my pride, I had to feed him a bigger, sweeter candy than I had been given, at least.

“Hey, let’s calm down and rest for a bit before we talk. you fainted… … .”

“No, old man. Wait. I am concentrating.”

The problem was the treacherous catapult and fortress he was using.

Unfortunately, the portal created by the combined efforts of the alter egos could not transport enough troops to the [Demon King Castle] hidden far away, and it was difficult to withdraw troops from other battlefields to prevent enemy attacks.

Therefore, in order to draw enough troops, the corps had to spread the colony directly in the area, and of course, the time to secure the colony was the most vulnerable time.

The problem was that the catapult, the goddamn ultra-long-range attack method, exploded before the colony could properly unfold. Moreover, it was an attack with a wide range, so it was not an attack of such nature that it could be properly blocked by sending in troops little by little.

My hopes of fucking the damn bastard were hard to come by, unless there was a reasonable way to defend against a pre-emptive strike before there were enough troops to chew through the opponent’s attacks.

“The opponent is also a renowned war expert, so this is a really formidable opponent.”

“Ah, old man. Because I am concentrating.”

“ah… … sorry.”

Any good way?

I was frantically racking my brain to come up with a good idea, and the muttering of the elderly manager in the adrenaline rushing situation gave me a very realization.

“According to what you said, you need a cheat key from the game to deal with him, but that… … .”

From the very word ‘cheetkey’, I was able to think of a very good method.

If I do well, if I do really well, I think I can bring that ‘cheatkey’ into reality.

“Old man.”

“uh… … .”

“Don’t you have the ability to handle time?”

Of course, the manager who heard my words was surprised and questioned my true intentions.

“… … No wait, what are you thinking? If that happens and we lose the Legion, we’re really ruined.”

“No, it’s not what you think. But I just thought of a good way to fuck those bastards.”

Of course, I didn’t mean to use the power to reverse the time axis here.

The manager had already used the power to completely reverse the time axis several times, and that meant that this person was under the ‘goddess related to time’.

If you think about it a little bit, it might be possible for a manager to borrow that power and freely handle the time of ‘local scope’.

If what I’ve come up with is really possible, I’ll be using the superpower cheats without hesitation at this point.

“Time acceleration within a certain range. Is it possible?”

“… … yes?”

“I won’t ask twice. Is it possible?”

The manager listened to me and stayed in a daze for a while, and finally realized my intentions, as if saying that I liked games wasn’t wasted.

“… … no way? Is that what you think?”

“Perhaps that is right.”

“If that’s what you want… … If there is a sufficient price, it is possible to some extent in my line.”

“Is the reward points?”

“Well, as always.”

yeah i’ve been waiting for this

“Come on, follow me.”

* * *

“It begins.”

As we watched, a huge ‘Clock Tower’ stood in the center of a quiet domain occupied by the Legion.

This is a sacred object in the form of a building that the manager has persuaded and obtained from the ‘high man’, and it is a really important item that will be the core of the cheat key operation.

“30 minute time acceleration.”

When the hands of this clock tower began to turn abnormally fast, the time around them also began to accelerate at an incredible speed along with these hands.

A wide area time acceleration power that can be used by paying a point once a day, this was the ability that clock tower had.

“… … Crazy, how did you come up with this novel method?”

In such an accelerated time, the hatchery was completed in an instant, and the eggs poured from it hatched before blinking an eye and became an adult unit.

During the duration of the authority, the complicated process of creating a large colony and pouring in a large army was over in just a few seconds.

“그 개새끼가 과연 ‘즉시 생산되는 무한대의 군단 병력’도 방금처럼 쉽게 전멸시킬 수 있을지… … .”

I laughed.

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

That’s enough for Legion troops to get their comps up first and then run over and beat him up with a bang before he can land a ranged attack.

“Operation ‘Operation CWAL’ begins.”

Legion had an ‘instant production cheat’.

“When the cooldown returns, this time just me and the two elders who can move the tower go.”

good night.

This time, I’m really going to throw a bowl of jelly at that son of a bitch who laughed unluckily.

* * *

In the [Demon Castle], which is now full of enslaved demons and beasts of hell, no trace of the former glory of being the capital of the demons can be found.

The huge flower fields and cities that planted seeds and conceived demons there all melted away and disappeared long ago, and this area became a terrible environment where rivers and lakes were formed by the flames of hell instead.

There was only one properly standing building in such an area, and it was a huge fortress that, instead of being melted down by the flames of Hell, gained even more power by using it as fuel.

A place where catapults load black darkness and pour black darkness bombardment at the enemy, this place where 1 million elite demons are preparing for battle, wearing thick armor and shields and heating their swords in the flames of hell, is the ‘Fortress of the Demon Commander’ was

“Because the monarch has struggled… … .”

In the highest tower of this fort, the commander’s command room, which has a function that allows you to see all the situation on the battlefield at a glance, a man murmured in disappointment.

The man, dressed in truly splendid clothes adorned with medals made of jewels, continued talking to himself as he looked at the enemy’s stronghold that had been completely annihilated in darkness.

“Because he is the ruler of a legion with many territories… … .”

Demon Commander Halfas seemed to lose interest in the devastated enemy stronghold, and soon left the command room and began patrolling the inside of the fort.

“I thought he was an interesting opponent… … . It’s not as big as I thought.”

Within this fort stood 200,000 well-armed daemonic cavalry on infernal horses, ready to charge at my heart at any moment.

While this cavalry ran amok in the enemy camp, more than 500,000 demon soldiers to annihilate the enemy, and demon priests and archers to support them were busy preparing for battle while heating their weapons.

Ordinary demons don’t often equip themselves with heavy armor like this because they believe in their own power rather than relying on the power of items, but the Demon Commander’s army was different.

Their commanders were those who valued the strength of armed forces and fortifications more than individual might, and were the ones who used them better than anyone else.

“Great Commander-!!!”

The demonic soldiers who saw the commander out on patrol let out hoarse, hoarse commands one after another, as you would see in a well-trained human army.

“Stop, don’t mind me and focus on preparing for battle.”

As soon as his orders were issued, the demonic soldiers began to treat their commander as if he did not exist at all.

Obeying the command of the commander unconditionally like this is the discipline that made the demonic commander Halpas reign as a messenger on the battlefield.

Demons are basically a warlike and proud tribe, so it is difficult to form a proper group power by uniting in this way.

However, the demonic commander’s transcendent charisma broke even the instincts of a race that no one followed except the Lord of Destruction, and created a ‘disciplined and loyal army’.

“You are slowly gaining strength. Now I can summon a new fortress.”

Even more frightening here, the Demon Commander’s fortifications and troops were not all where he was now.

Fortress extension, his specialty, was a kind of summoning power, and for each of those forts, which still had more than a dozen remaining, troops and powerful equipment equivalent to the current number were sleeping inside them.

“The time to unleash an infinite army is coming soon.”

His gaze was directed to the empty sky of the [Mawang Castle], the most remote place in the universe, where not a single star could be seen.

“Phoenix, bird of fire, I want to compete with your army as soon as possible.”

Instead of the swarm of insects called the legion, the demonic commander thought of an apostle of a godhead who had not yet appeared in the world but had long been his rival, as his true enemy.

For him, there were many people called Legion, but it felt like they were not a very difficult opponent, and he proved his confidence by blowing up the base of the enemy who had invaded the [Demon King] with a single shot.

“Commander, the enemy portal is opening again.”

So even when one of the adjutants rushed to announce the reappearance of the corps, the demon commander just gave off a nuance of being annoying and didn’t pay much attention.

“Aim for the moment their base is completed and use the Darkness Catapult.”

That was the moment.

Kwaaang-!!!

As the walls of the fortress were exposed to a series of powerful explosions, they began to shake as if they were dancing shoulder to shoulder.

Before he could fire the Dark Catapult, which was already loaded, his fortress began to be attacked first.

“… … What’s going on? Accurately assess the situation and report.”

Of course, before receiving a report from his subordinates, unknown gigantic monstrous creatures appeared in the sky of the fortress, and Demon Commander Halpas quickly realized that something was wrong.

“this… … .”

As if he had abruptly destroyed the legion’s base, this time unexpected huge tentacles began flying towards the fortress in a surprise attack.

“All troops dispatched.”
