021. Stormy Tides of the Legion (3)

It was a clash between vicious creatures and non-living creatures that covered the earth.

From the sky, shooter spiders and jellyfish rained acidic liquid like a mighty shower, land spiders popped out of nowhere to return the dead to their original place, and warrior spiders broke the bones of the skeleton and advanced and advanced toward the last bastion. .

The damage isn’t too bad.

A person named [Earth Goddess] joined the exoskeleton of a dead spider to her legion, and even those who died before wielded weapons countless times in their lives, and displayed their imprinted abilities without any doubt.

Before being turned into powder, the skeletons of the ‘former family’ who kept reappearing were not lacking in quantity and strength to deal with spiders.

In this way, the battle did not show any momentum for either side to be pushed unilaterally for a while.

Until the one who stood out from among the disgusting skeletons appeared, they continued to maintain their balance and had a fun power struggle.

-enemy! Leader!

-Strength!

A knight in full armor holding a huge halberd radiated a terrifying red aura, turning all the spiders that appeared in front of him into blood clots in one shot.

I had a memory of meeting a being similar to that knight in full armor in my previous life. That killer with the crazy force that came over the gate of the demon boss.

When he appeared on Earth, he was a dirty strong guy who had to be taken very seriously in a raiding atmosphere, and the guy who, according to players, seemed to be somewhere between an earl and a duke, was exactly that.

“Death Knight.”

Wherever he goes, the proportions of the Legion’s forces are broken and holes are being pierced.

I’ve been enjoying a fun power fight for the first time in a while, putting in extra troops and adjusting my combinations, but I feel like I’m going through colic because of that bastard.

It seems that the origin of such things was probably this town.

Since there is a bitch who uses [Necromancer] so ignorantly broad and powerful, the demons might be buying or borrowing from her a powerful elite class.

Either way, this is a neighborhood I don’t like.

I want to blow up the entire planet, but I think I’ll have to put up with it because it still takes some time for Leviathan’s long-distance travel to be finished.

Anyway, I can’t let this situation where the elites show up and disrupt the front line. If you pour troops like water, you will catch it someday, but the efficiency is too low.

His name is the ruler of the corps, but the fact that the front line is pushed here somehow hurts his pride.

“Shall I loosen up a bit?”

good night. That guy’s opponent is me.

Speaking of myself, I’m the guy who always builds a turret behind me and gets stressed out by myself when the kids beat up demons excitedly to relieve stress.

Recently, the main body of the Hive Mind has also moved out of its infancy and entered the growth phase, gradually increasing in size. Thanks to that increased mental power, the power given to the incarnation was gradually increasing, so it was time to test how much stronger my power was.

I am growing little by little without knowing it.

The subject of the experiment to measure growth was a member of the elite family of low necromancy presumed to be a Death Knight.

“run!”

I ordered the warrior spider I rode to immediately intervene on the battlefield, and at the same time stretched out my hand and opened my power to the maximum. Powerful mental power generated formless energy, and according to my will, it was converted into powerful physical energy, creating a powerful punch.

“Eat this!”

A huge wave radiated from my hand and shook the air strongly.

Kwaaang-!!!

All the skeletons around the Death Knight were shattered and turned into bone powder and scattered all over the place, and he also staggered slightly as if he was quite shocked.

Oh, I think I’ve counted a little too much.

The hive mind has grown a little bit bigger, but this much, the moment I thought that ‘lightning’ would not be just a dream, his halberd came right in front of me.

“Fuck!”

Kwaaang-!!!

Once again, the hard punch exploded. When the energy I exuded hit the Death Knight’s halberd squarely, his arm bent back abnormally and returned to its original position.

“run!!!”

Of course, at that timing, I rode the spider and quickly spread the distance. My strategy has now been transformed into ‘ranged attack’ instead of ‘lay down the turret and drop orders’.

This is more fun than you think. I understood a little bit why a young wizard who had been pouring wide-area magic from a distance was splitting his threads every time he fought.

The taste of teasing an opponent is as sticky as the taste of hitting.

Flash-!

Red eyes burst out of the eye sockets of the bastard’s helmet. Then he raised his halberd and pointed it at me.

What is this, a duel request from a knight who wants to compete fair and square?

But he misjudged his opponent. I’m a person who doesn’t know how to be fair. Whether it was my life as a player or my previous gaming days, I was the one who lived my life tenaciously, thinking that it was enough to win efficiently.

Kwaaang-!!!

While making the spider run at full speed, I continued to hit the hard punch at the Death Knight, who was running with all his might while exhaling vicious blood. It’s quite fast, but the spider is also incredibly fast, so if you decide to run away, you won’t be able to close the distance easily.

In addition, Corps objects keep coming from the surroundings, making it impossible for him to wield the halberd one more time.

Quaang! Quaang! Kwaaang!!!

You can’t hit me, but I can hit you. How ferocious and efficient is this battle?

Of course, with my ability, I was only able to stop him and gnaw him little by little, but I couldn’t inflict a big blow, but he was a very suitable opponent to test my strength.

Now that the test is over, let’s wrap it up soon.

Fighting in a different way from time to time like this seems like a good way to relieve stress.

【Come here!】

At my command, a jellyfish dived, and I grabbed its tentacles and flew into the air.

bang!!!

The warrior spider I had been riding for fun until just a few seconds ago was split in two like an apple split by the halberd of the death knight who was so pissed off.

Flash-!!!

It raises its head and glares at me above the sky with red eyes radiating.

Yes. That kid can’t fly, and he can’t attack anything in the air except by throwing a halberd.

“Hi-Hi.”

Excited.

The bastard fell into a trap. This is no longer a place where you can receive support from skeletons, but in the middle of a formation teeming with our corps.

The moment he put his halberd full of red aura and poised to throw it at me,

【It is now. Attack.]

Perong!

At my command, the ground on which the Death Knight was standing cracked in all directions as if an earthquake had caused it, and hundreds of spiders popped out at the same time and immediately covered him.

He resisted violently and endured, but in the end, the elite-class people were dragged back to the basement where they should rest. Even if it’s hard to beat him to death, isn’t there anything else you can’t do if you make up your mind to drag him in?

【Bury it.】

At the same time, all the burrows of the spiders, which were intricately formed deep underground, began to collapse. All the spiders that had entered the ground would die, but even the Death Knight could not escape from there. This guy is an elite with the ability to kill lives, not an elite who is good at digging tunnels.

Preventing multiple sacrifices in the future with minimal sacrifice.

This completes the Death Knight burial operation.

In the meantime, the enemy corps, which had lost their elites, began to fall back. The speed of recruiting troops surpassed the speed of raising followers.

As I floated leisurely in the sky and looked up, a phenomenon was occurring in which the spiders, which had become members of my group, turned to dust before they could even move. Year’s staying power, whether it’s the goddess of the earth or not, was really amazing, but even that had obvious limits.

After all, a hatchery that eats food and spit out eggs is much superior in warfare than [Power], which has limitations.

Booong-!!!

And, from afar, the sky began to darken.

– Lord! Mission accomplished.

―Chief of Heaven, please forgive me. Some of the Earth and Gangho people colluded with the enemy and rebelled fiercely, so the capture failed, and they had no choice but to kill them all.

Hundreds of millions of wasps were coming from the left and right sides of the last bastion of the Alliance of Goddesses, and a detached unit that had completed a simultaneous strike operation to cut off the enemy’s reinforcements was coming here.

【This is the last one. Prepare to wipe out that fortress.]

The enjoyable battle is now coming to an end.

After a long sweating and warming up, it’s time for me to comfortably watch the finish.

“Let’s go down.”

-storm! storm!

“… … Were you the young jellyfish that survived the nuclear beating?”

Apparently, they seem to have found the culprit behind the storm.

―Kwaaang!

“… … Hey, aren’t you the first jellyfish? The bastard who set it up in front of me with those tentacles?”

I never thought that kid would be this kid.

I thought he was dead, but he was still alive.

* * *

After riding a jellyfish and taking a shower in the cool river, I came back. Before the final battle, I assemble the legionnaires, check the ratio of the combination, and open a lunch box for Kang Jin-hyeok.

After exercising very intensely with the incarnation, I was really hungry enough to make my head dizzy. Whether it’s the body or the incarnated body, the fuel needed to strongly express mental power was glucose consumed by the brain.

Once you have used your strength properly, you have to eat that much to supplement it, but this is a bit inconvenient in many ways.

“Jinhyuk. lunch box.”

“Today is chicken curry. Jiwoo Han, I personally hate curry. So it’s better to choose another menu… … .”

“Chicken curry call.”

If you enter that word, you must eat it unconditionally.

I am a person who considers chickens to be very sacred animals. It doesn’t matter which part and which recipe was used. It is more important to eat it once and accept its sacredness into your body.

Chicken is delicious whether grilled, fried, braised, stir-fried or boiled, and even cold noodles or yukgaejang are delicious, and in my case, I have even eaten raw fish.

“Why?”

“It’s got chicken in it.”

“I only have breasts here. Jiwoo, as you know, the breast meat is tough and tasteless… … .”

“Shut up and take it out. Add rice, and some more kimchi and curry.”

Anyway, it’s a good meal time.

After all, the chicken breast I ate after sweating and washing was very delicious.

“… … .”

“why?”

“… … not.”

Kang Jin-hyeok was looking at the leader and his subordinates, who were eating the mucous membranes on the floor very deliciously, with shaking eyes.

“It’s annoying to eat. The human incarnation is inconvenient because you have to buy food to eat.”

“… … Are you serious?”

“yes.”

The spider army that consumes nutrients through mucous membranes can be proud of having a really convenient and efficient eating structure.

The time for nutrients to be absorbed into the body is also very fast, reminiscent of an ionic beverage, and the digestion efficiency reaches 99%, so it was possible to finish eating activities in a short time, temporarily increase the recovery of wounds, and even see a slight awakening effect. That’s a whole bunch of advantages.

“… … Han Ji-woo.”

There are a lot of complicated and subtle emotions in the eyes he looks back at me.

“Are you really going to make me like that? Any other good tools? How to control the Legion while maintaining a human appearance? How can I become like you?”

It was the first time I knew Kang Jin-hyeok was such a talkative person.

But this kid has a lot of greed. If it’s enough to hold and wield an army, isn’t it okay to give up on appearance?

… … is not it?

Hmm, I’m not sure.

“There is no way.”

“… … You are firm.”

While I was engrossed in eating again, Kang Jin-hyeok did something that really surprised me.

“Is it possible if I increase this power?”

“… … ?!”

I watched this spectacle for a while, stunned.

He was raising the lid of the lunch box in the air without touching it.

… … No wait, isn’t that a psionic ability?

“… … this crazy Hey, how did you do that now?”

“Ah, it worked. The last time you grabbed me by the collar, then I too felt the force within me react strongly and move. Focusing on trying to feel that power again made this possible.”

“… … .”

“I’m starting to hear a little bit of a hive consciousness, too.”

… … what the hell is this kid

Is this the miracle of a strong tenacity to command an army?

Took-!

The lid of the lunch box, which gave me shock and fear, fell to the floor without strength.

And Kang Jin-hyeok only moved the lid of the lunchbox for a moment, and in an instant, his eyes went wide and his whole body was sweating profusely.

He took a deep breath and asked me.

“Han Ji-woo, how should I train this power? I’m trying many ways, but I can’t get a feel for it at all.”

“yes? I’m born with it, so it’s okay?”

“… … .”

We looked at each other for a moment with very unlucky looks.

* * *

Well, whatever it is, Kang Jin-hyeok is not at the level of giving orders even to a passing worker, so he still needs to work hard.

Of course, I have no idea how to make that effort. It seems that you have no choice but to find out how to practice on your own.

“… … Should I just take a nap?”

I am sleepy after I finish eating. So, the moment I tried to take a deep breath, something very annoying happened.

“… … Oh fuck.”

Huge gates that seemed to have been seen from somewhere in the sky began to open.

“These bastards.”

Oh, I can’t stand it any longer.

【Arachne, prepare to withdraw.】

―Do you not attack their last stronghold, ruler?

I shook my head.

【I’m just going to blow this place up.】
