047. Legion upgrades (2)

A demon territory that has been called by the name of ‘Cochlan’, who has recently become the new lord.

In the secret room in the deepest part of the castle where the lord lives, a high-ranking demon who was fatally wounded was sitting on his chair, breathing heavily.

“I can’t do this… … .”

The wound on his back while fighting against the spider army was horribly wide open, and purple magic unique to high-ranking demons was constantly flowing out like water leaking from a cracked bucket.

The unknown aura permeated into this wound was completely eating away at the recovery using magic or the regenerative power unique to the demon tribe, so he had no choice but to tear his clothes in a hurry and cover the wound like a bandage.

“… … Why can’t I be healed?”

Realizing that the wounds bitten by the spiders would never heal again, this high-ranking demon bit his lip.

“How did I really become a lord… … I can’t die like this… … ”

This young, high-ranking demon tribe, Cochlan, was the one who had risen to the position of duke he had only dreamed of winning in a life-or-death duel with the existing tyrannical lord just a few days ago.

He was a man with a very strange wish for a high-ranking demon tribe to make his territory a better place to live than any other territory in the demon realm.

“Everyone is dead… … .”

Of course, his wish ended with the Three Days.

The opponents to whom the Demon God and the Demon King declared war were those who did not understand Cochlan’s perverted wishes at all, and did not hesitate to increase their forces by covering the territory with a sticky film.

The lower nobles and knights who guarded the territory, and the many slaves under their command, had already suffered a blow close to annihilation from the attack of the enemy’s spider corps.

It was natural that the few survivors had no possibility of resuscitation due to deep wounds, and they themselves suffered fatal wounds that could not be recovered. It was easy to predict that even if they managed to escape from here, they would not live long.

The culprit behind all of this was the scene where the large crystal spheres that filled the castle of the lord showed the battles taking place all over the territory.

There were a total of 8 of these spider monsters reflected on the screen of the crystal ball, and the number itself was not too many. However, those 8 monsters were destroying all the main bases of the territory.

“… … What are those spiders? Didn’t you have any information that there were guys like that?”

A lot of information about that corps had spread to the high-ranking demons who ruled the territory.

According to previously known information, the dominant opinion was that the enemy corps object was just an overwhelming number, but that each object was not very strong.

So there was a kind of corps strategy that came out. When the lords deal with the legion, they hinder the formation of the colony as much as possible, and if a lower-level object dies, it can have some effect if it burns the flames of magic so that they can not use it as food.

This was a kind of clear night tactic chosen by the demon lords.

But the problem is, those 8 spiders that appeared just now were new objects that were not included in the information. In addition, the clear night tactics known as the strategy in the first place were not working at all.

Those spiders weren’t the ones that came out of the colony creeping over the manor, but the ones that suddenly popped out through the [Gate].

Anyway, those spiders that Cochlan himself has faced are the ones that can only be said to be terrible.

“… … The size of these spiders is so huge that it is comparable to the peacock’s citadel. Weaknesses I haven’t figured out yet… … .”

With little time remaining before all strongholds in the estate were destroyed, Cochlan began recording detailed information about the enemy he had obtained.

Even if the territory here is completely destroyed, if you transmit this record, other lords will somehow find a new strategy against those monsters.

“… … The black venom sprayed by these gigantic spiders, first seen, is surprisingly enough to completely neutralize our ability to heal. In addition, he has a very strong body that does not get hurt even if he pours all his magic power… … .”

In front of the incredibly huge and strong spiders, not only the existing slaves, but also the low-ranking nobles and knights who boasted considerable skills were of no use.

In the first place, the difference in weight class was so great that any attack the demons concocted could not produce effective results against them.

If the existing swarms of small spiders were just consumable soldiers, those huge ones now ravaging the territory are almost generals or heroes.

“… … It is judged that it is best not to deal with the giant spider… … .”

While these giant spiders took all the attacks without wavering, the legion warriors and small spiders that were digging the ground started to slaughter the demons in a surprise attack, and the territory collapsed really rapidly.

“It has very rich dark red hair, and it appears to be of a kind that does not exist in the demon realm. I have no idea where this object originated… … .”

It was when I wrote it down here.

【Yes, that’s a tarantula. It is a paper that only exists on Earth. Weakness.】

I heard someone’s voice and kindly informed me of the type of spider out of the blue.

“It is a species endemic to the Earth dimension called a tarantula… … yes?”

The wounded young high-ranking demon felt something strange and looked up, and saw a figure with golden eyes looking down at him in front of him.

“All, you… … !?”

Cochlan froze in his seat the moment he saw him.

The appearance of a human player with golden eyes, but the tremendous pressure felt from him. To anyone’s eyes, that must be the ruler of that corps, the existence of fear that makes the aristocrats of the Pandemonium agitate these days.

【What are you so busy writing about?】

The ruler of the legion gave a fishy laugh that couldn’t be understood.

【Oh, you must be quite usable, right? A pacifist on the subject of demons? Kidnap this bastard.]

The moment the Legion’s ruler gave someone an order, Cochlan witnessed a black flame of immense size appearing out of thin air and attacking him.

“… … !!!”

As the flame engulfed his body, Cochlan passed out.

【Maria. Take that bastard to the former Demon King and General.]

* * *

I successfully completed the debut match of the newly created object, captured a useful prisoner, and returned to Nemesis.

“Oh, are you here?”

“… … .”

As soon as I came back, the sight I saw was an old man who had really made his living on Nemesis, chewing on chocolate with a mysterious taste, and spreading my incarnation in the room where I lived.

Anyone who sees it will know that he is the owner of the house.

“… … Sir, this is my house.”

“Hey, that’s not important right now. Han Ji-woo, you didn’t make the dragon you asked for, and you did something, and then you made a real monster?”

The manager opened several screens through the system and was looking at all of the Pandemonium raiding operations that were in progress simultaneously.

“Is that the final tech unit of your corps? Is it time to finish upgrading already? isn’t it too fast? They look like they’re eating a lot of gas. Shouldn’t we have secured and selected more resources?”

“… … .”

He licked his lips while watching the activities of the new entity, the guys I named ‘General Spiders’, who in an instant pushed one of the devil’s domains with their power, which they had been struggling to resist by using clear night tactics.

“Well, how do old people know the words of such a game?”

“… … Hey, don’t you know how to age? And the entertainment of games does not take into account the generation in which one was born.”

Oh, by the way, even though the manager looks very young, he was definitely not our age when we got to know him. From the moment I got a glimpse of his age, common sense made the situation itself a bit strange when the manager used game terms.

This person’s age was a fact that I learned after I asked how it would be to turn the time axis back to the previous Demon Lord days.

‘In the first place, it’s hard to turn it even with my own strength. I can feel the high-ranking nobles staring at me just by turning the number of years.

‘… … Thousands of years?’

‘Because if you turn back time to the days when the former demon king ruled, there will be a unified Silla, not a Republic of Korea, in the world you knew.’

So, to put it simply, the manager was a person who was accidentally summoned to the tower while living in the ‘ancient Korean peninsula’. The reason why I felt that this person’s way of doing things was not refined was because the values of the era and values were completely different.

Even more shocking than that, it is said that the person who had been the manager of the district in the previous generation, handed over the position to the elder, and retired was a person known to the public as ‘King Arthur’.

Shit, how many years ago was that?

I couldn’t help but feel very strange to see a nobleman who lived in such a distant past, who kept watching my corps and acting like a spectator watching a game tournament.

Anyway, my experiment to create an enhanced Legion entity using the Holy Grail yielded a very successful result.

General Spider was born with a very fraudulent ability to ‘chew the magic of demons’ through the genetic information left in the first demon’s relic, and thanks to this, the legion can now have a very powerful tanker.

But there was a bit of a problem here.

“I don’t have any ingredients.”

“yes? Do you still have a lot of blood left?”

“… … Originally, you can’t make something like that with only blood. That, it’s not pure blood.”

“… … okay?”

General spiders were created by cultivating a very small amount of ‘flesh’ left in the Holy Grail and transplanting it into a tarantula. Not the blood itself, but the flesh mixed with the first demon’s blood contained genetic information and fraudulent power to suppress mana.

However, an unexpected problem arose here.

First of all, those who directly cultivated and raised the biological tissues of the first demons were born as such powerful beings, but after that, as they repeatedly reproduced with eggs without transplanting tissues, their performance gradually deteriorated and even a phenomenon in which genetic information was tangled occurred.

“So what is the conclusion?”

“It’s impossible to produce that in a hatchery, and it can only be made by growing flesh directly from a culture medium and putting it in a tarantula, or something like that. Ordinary organizations cannot handle the power contained within them.”

In short, the general spider takes a long time to make, and the materials are precious, and it is a really dirty expensive object.

“So, that is the final tech unit.”

“… … .”

Apparently, the manager didn’t understand my explanation. No, he doesn’t seem to have the will to have a deep understanding of my work in the first place.

Apparently, I felt that I needed more help from the thick-haired and communicative guy than the strong, bad-tempered ancient man who hated thinking.

【… … Call Choi Kang-han.]

* * *

The magician who gave up eating and drinking and even giving up on sleep smiled. He was struggling to the point where he couldn’t even use the magic that covered his weak roots, but in return, he created a very amazing object.

“Evolution, successful.”

Another weapon was born in the Legion.
