092. Legion Evolution Never Stops (1)

“Nice job, Excalibur.”

After a brilliant flash of light burst out that filled the horizon, the presence of the devil’s offspring that had invaded this place completely disappeared.

I couldn’t help but admire the amazing performance of the weapon called the treasure of mankind.

“Performance really doesn’t come… … .”

[Xcalibur] had amazing cutting power that instantly split even space, and also had the ability to explosively amplify the energy I injected.

Even I, who don’t know how to handle a sword properly, puts in divine power or psionic energy and then swings it, almost tactical nuclear weapon-like performance bursts out every time the blade gets stuck.

“I understand why this is a banned item.”

[Excalibur] was a very dangerous weapon that made me think it was natural that it should not appear in the world.

Even I, who prefers to fight with the strength of my army rather than my own inaction, gained the confidence that would pierce the sky from the moment I got this sword in my hand.

“If the Lord of Destruction were to come directly, I think I could just destroy the seal or whatever… … .”

In fact, if this ridiculous thing had been in the hands of the manager in the first place, we could have already cut the demon king in the last episode.

However, the high-ranking people did not take out [Excalibur] even when the last moment of humanity came, and eventually approved the rental of the sword only after the crisis of not only humanity but the entire world was eaten.

I could roughly guess why [Excalibur], such a scary thing, came to me.

“Still, it seems that high-ranking nobles have eyes for people.”

What if this terrifying object ended up not in me, but in the hands of an unlucky enemy, or some madman shouting ‘I will conquer the world!’?

That bastard had no choice but to become a cataclysm of the world, comparable to that of the demon king in his good days. Besides, this crazy performance weapon could have made that possible.

That is why the high-ranking nobles did not give [Excalibur] until the moment when mankind perished, until a suitable person who would not abuse the power of this sword came out.

“You know very well that I am not a fool.”

In the case of me, of course, I had no intention of using this sword for abuse, so I was recognized as the best talent suitable for rental.

In fact, rather than doing something annoying like conquering the world, I was the kind of guy who wanted to quickly get rid of all the annoying guys and enjoy a comfortable unemployed life, enjoying chicken and beer and watching baseball every day.

From long ago, my dream was to be unemployed.

In fact, even now I didn’t want to do anything, and if this dream comes true, I intend to do nothing more intensely.

“Lord of the Legion, what master craftsman created this treasure?”

As I dutifully carried out my mission and snatched this wonderful weapon that returned through the portal, the dwarf man who was standing next to me began to look at [Excalibur] with a dangerous expression that was unmatched by something erotic.

“To think that such a weapon exists in the world… … Maybe I can meet the master who made this sword… … ?”

“… … I don’t know who made it.”

“under… … .”

The Dwarf uncle seemed to want to take a closer look at the sword, but I quickly put [Excalibur] back into the scabbard.

“Hey. It’s rude to look at other people’s things with such greedy eyes… … .”

“That scabbard, even the sheath, is an unusual item. Could you please take a look at it for a moment?”

“… … .”

After all, dwarves are a perverted race.

I was serious and tried to nail it down firmly so that the Dwarf man would never turn a blind eye to [Excalibur].

The only person in our party who can be sure that he won’t have an accident with this thing in his hands is the hero-infused Legion Chef.

It’s not that we don’t believe in the head of the Dwarves who helped us a lot, but isn’t it easy to trust a creature that originally has both reason and emotions?

“Hey, this isn’t something that can be handed over to other people…” … .”

“We have a treasure that resembles a crystal.”

“Take it out right now. If you think it’s useful, I’ll allow you to inspect this sword only in front of me.”

Such exchanges are always welcome.

“Give it to me.”

After easily killing the most threatening entity, the enemy commander, the Legion was now able to form large colonies and lay eggs without any burden.

– Ruler, we will further expand the colony.

Arachne, the dominant entity with the highest rank in the corps, was doing her best by finding work without being told.

Maybe it’s because he’s been around a lot and done so many times, it seems he’s very familiar with colony expansion.

―Lord, you will soon be able to produce an army.

The countless numbers of tiny spiders huddled together to create a hatchery were done very quickly and efficiently, just like the gears of a machine delicately interlocking.

The hatcheries, which accelerated growth as much as possible through the manipulation of essence, were soon completed, and the pouring eggs will now transform the damn devil’s minions into the strongest soldiers.

So far everything has been going smoothly.

“No, not this stone. Isn’t this just a dirty big diamond?”

There was only one thing in the prison, that the stone the dwarf had brought was not what I wanted.

“… … Ruler, then, is there a chance to see the treasure you have?”

“yes. Let’s do something that never happened.”

“under… … .”

The head of this region, no, the dwarves, had tears in their eyes as if they would shed tears at any moment.

I suddenly wondered why this man was so obsessed with [Excalibur].

“No, why are you so obsessed with this sword?”

“ah… … That is… … .”

“The more you keep hiding something, the less willing you are to give it a chance.”

“Ah, let me tell you. I will be honest.”

The old Dwarf, looking around, came closer to me and started muttering quietly.

I felt that these skillful tribes were really amazing, despite the bleak situation, the scent of strong beer was coming from the body of the head.

“The smell of alcohol… … .”

“ah… … We need a beer to concentrate… … .”

“… … .”

Is it really a race with ghosts who died without drinking beer?

Anyway, the head of the dwarves pressed his mouth close to my ear and began to divulge his secret very carefully.

“We also have a treasure.”

“… … Wasn’t this diamond stone a treasure?”

“… … This is a treasure too, but in fact we have the Forbidden Hammer. The way to break the seal on that thing might be contained in your sword.”

“Ahh.”

I involuntarily laughed at his words ‘forbidden hammer’.

“No, it’s not like it’s a hammer that stores and emits lightning, right?”

[Excalibur] is also a yard that appeared in the world. Of course, when it comes to hammer-type objects that are treated as ‘forbidden weapons’ like this one, there is one thing that comes to mind very naturally.

Come to think of it, I wonder if the public awareness is higher for ‘the hammer’ than [Xcalibur]… … .

“… … uh?”

But the reaction of the Dwarven chief who heard my joke was strange.

“Master, how did you… … ?”

“… … yes?”

“How do you know what that thing is?”

… … It’s crazy, it seems like what I was reminded of was right.

“Well… … I want to associate this with all humans from Earth.”

“… … No, how do they know our treasure?”

I don’t know how the story of that thing got to Earth, but that’s probably what everyone who lives in a country with a theater knows.

“I was in a movie. Anyway, you want to find a way to unseal the hammer, right? great. If I agree to the research, let’s break the seal. In return, give me the right to rent the hammer.”

“No, it’s not something I’ll decide on my own, I need an oracle… … .”

Anyway, the head of the dwarves and I were in the middle of a small talk about ‘forbidden items’.

“These fucking scumbags of destruction—!!!”

I heard clumsy swear words from somewhere, so when I turned my head, the subject of the swear words was none other than the previous demon king.

He’s the ‘nitrogen-packed’ type who talks a lot, but he’s the type who always chooses and uses serious words, so swearing doesn’t suit him at all.

“Why is that demon suddenly doing that after being quiet?”

“Ah, I think he’s pissed off about the hybrids he put in here.”

My prediction came true.

“Use demons to create hybrids? This goddamn lord of ruin is stealing your rest! I will definitely rip your throat out!!!”

Where the hell did you learn it? The swearing itself in the air is very sticky, but anyway, even if I was hit now, it was a situation where I could get quite angry.

The troops the Lord of Destruction was mobilizing were none other than a kind of hybrid created by overrunning the existing demons. This is a rather strange situation, when the one-time ruler of their country does not suffer from fever.

“The ruler of the Legion.”

“Oh, tell me.”

Perhaps tired from screaming in the air for a long time, the former demon king, who had died, came to me and knelt down on one knee helplessly.

“No, why burdensomely say this… … .”

“You must defeat the Lord of Destruction. Please, save our restless demons from his hands.”

“… … Hey, are you crying?”

The former Demon King bowed his head in front of me.

“… … please.”

I smiled my way at him and said.

“You devil bastard, your older brother will take care of the Lord of Destruction, so if you keep whining, get out of here.”

No matter how much I thought about it, I was very clumsy at speaking words that comforted or gave strength to others.

* * *

The outpouring troops of the Legion now lost their commander and started a massive power struggle with the runaway Hybrid Legion.

A horrifying battlefield was created, with red flames from the hybrid flying around the battlefield, and the melting spider corpse flowing as lava.

[Introduce ultra and essence-enhanced snow crabs. Fuck those motherfuckers.]

In this situation, when the ‘Ultra Mammoth’, which boasts a toxic gigantic size, intervened on the battlefield and began to withstand the flames, the Legion troops were now able to fully demonstrate their firepower.

The wizard, who had quietly watched the scene reminiscent of a cinematic video from a strategy game, with his companions in the colony, muttered in a voice full of fatigue.

“That bastard, no matter how you look at it, he and Woo-jae hyung talk so much the same… … .”

“… … Are you strong? Should I be offended by that or should Han Ji-woo be offended?”

“… … Of course he is my brother.”

“… … done.”

The manager next to him let out a deep sigh, sat down on the floor, took out a cigarette he had carefully stored in his arms and lit it, then suddenly asked in a puzzled tone.

“Hey, but what is that?”

“ah… … Are they the ones that just came out of the egg nest?”

“Yeah, is this your first time seeing that?”

What caught the manager’s gaze was a very disgusting giant insect that had protruded from the hive of the colony.

It was the appearance of a new object with a thick shell suitable for its huge size, antennae and mouth that constantly searched in all directions, and the mobility to move at tremendous speed.

“Oh, I made that one.”

“… … huh? you?”

For some reason, the magician’s words contained a strong confidence.

“This is a masterpiece I created by putting the essence of Legion and resistance from mammoths into American cockroaches with all my heart.”

“… … Shit, I’m afraid it will appear in my dreams.”

The ones created by Choi Kang-han and recognized for their performance were newly added to the corps. They were a really terrible new monster that was a combination of corps essence and cockroaches.

“Now, let’s see the cockroaches in action.”

“… … Ah, that’s a look that makes the taste of real cigarettes go bad… … .”

After coming out of the nest, ingesting a lot of mucus and quickly growing in size, these cockroaches soon started running at full speed toward the battlefield, shaking their antennae and disgusting legs.

“Wow… … .”

Needless to say, cockroaches, despite their large size, were so filthy fast that they could use magic to disappear from sight in the blink of an eye.

The manager, who saw the tremendous mobility of this new corps entity, could not hide his absurd expression.

“Fuck, what kind of Lamborghini are those?”
