In this world, there is a law of competitive exclusion.
If two species exist in the same environment, one of them uses limited resources more efficiently, leaving the other species out.
If so, the remaining species that were eliminated must choose one of two options.
Either they disappear, or new resources are developed through resource division and used in a different way.
“You built a very grand building.”
We arrived near the huge structure Caroline had built.
The process of getting here wasn’t particularly difficult. The further north you go, the flatter the terrain becomes… .
In the end, I was able to arrive there by walking calmly, as if I was walking on a well-paved road.
‘Come if you can, this is it.’
As Rachel said, I think it is a confidence that is beyond crazy.
“You can’t believe you’re doing something like that. And that too in open areas.”
“It’s in the far north anyway, so I guess they’re saying that you should fight if you can. It’s just absurd.”
To be honest, I am a little proud on my part.
I know I’m crazy too. But if you are the archmage’s disciple. Shouldn’t you have that level of confidence?
‘I understand your intentions. Caroline… . ‘I don’t know what you’re going to do.’
From now on we must choose one thing.
Here, after taking away all the resources Caroline has. Either cull her.
Or choose the remaining method.
Of course, there is no positive way. It just disappears.
“Everyone get ready… . Are you done?”
I slowly looked around at the party members.
Carly and Rachel have no worries. These two are women who, although not as good as me, can serve one person.
The ones I’m worried about are Alina, Anna, and Jennifer.
I feel like I want to put the three of them somewhere safe… .
‘But Alina and Anna have reached the end of the 5th rank. It’ll be okay.’
Thanks to Rachel’s lessons, the two can be said to have become strong players of comparable rank, if not to the 6th rank.
If you only look at your skills… . Wouldn’t it be much better than the 6th rank wizards who sit in their bedrooms and study peacefully?
‘I guess I can just leave Jennifer to Lira… .’
Lira is definitely a force that can be said to be strong. As expected, if we were to look at the hierarchy, it could be considered to be around the 7th level.
It’s still getting stronger in real time, so it may grow even further than that.
‘done. If you do this, you will feel safe. Then the problem is me.’
The level I have reached now is at the end of the 7th level. By taking the elixir, I reached almost this level.
‘The first thing Caroline gave me was Mana. In other words, the vessel of hierarchy was strengthened.’
I understand what your intention is. She plans to make me stronger step by step.
Why on earth? I understand the intention. I don’t know why. I’m sure it’s not because of a base desire to teach my teacher.
‘I still don’t know why you’re acting like this. ‘You foolish and naughty disciple.’
I was just about to check the power and lose myself in useless thoughts. I felt a strong flow of mana heading this way.
“Is it coming?”
“I think so.”
A thick layer of dust rises. Tap, tap, tap… . The sound of numerous war horses moving.
In addition, there was a loud noise of all kinds of metal objects shaking. ‘I’m going to war now!’ It is a choral piece that seems to be advertising to those around you.
“I think these are Caroline’s pets.”
“… I think the number is smaller than I thought.”
“No matter how good the greenskins are in terms of reproduction, there are limits. I don’t think the Allied forces died unilaterally.”
You could see here that the Allied forces were not taken by surprise and destroyed.
They probably fought in the field. Although he led a large army and fought bravely against the enemy. They must have fallen one by one in front of the overwhelmingly outnumbered Greenskin Army.
“I am the right hand man of the Great Demon King—! Intruder, come out here and compete with me!”
“Ha. really… .”
Has that culture disappeared these days? Why are you there? Before a fight, the general gives his name.
That guy seems rude. If you ask for a fight, your name is the first thing to ask. This never happened hundreds of years ago. Tsk tsk… .
‘Let’s see… . ‘This guy isn’t that strong.’
Overall, it was a guy who had the appearance of a human knight. However, as if it was a monster based on the Dullahan, blue flames were rising where the head would be, and the facial features were on the chest.
As soon as I saw it, I was like, “Fuck,” considering the looks and Caroline’s tastes. It is also reasonably understandable.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t feel disgust. Let’s just go hard from the beginning.
‘Compared to the two guys I met before, he looks pretty strong. That was before I became strong.’
I made an elixir from the bones of the first enemy I met and took it.
Using the second enemy he encountered, he walked towards the Demon King and created a new artifact.
And the third guy I met… . What will you give me?
“I’ll kill you!”
Damn it—! Damn it—! Just like its owner, the horse also had a very bad appearance. There were only bones left, but where on earth did they come from? The head is elongated like a snake.
Is this what it would feel like to force a bone that wasn’t aligned properly? It would have been fortunate if only that guy had done that, but the army that was following him was just as bad.
“I don’t really want to use your bones. Please give me something else.”
“I’ll split your hair!”
As expected from a Dullahan, he raised his huge sword high. He hit me on the head.
fast. But that’s it. Since it doesn’t require any sophisticated technology, it doesn’t feel particularly worth avoiding.
‘But if you only look at the power… . He must be stronger than Kali. You can tell just by looking at it. Something like this… .’
Time is getting slower. Like a lantern… . His movements, his sword… . Even the rushing troops are infinitely slow.
This is a new artifact I created, ‘Mockery of Time’. As you can see, the effect temporarily slows down all physical phenomena except me.
Should I say it is absolute priority? Of course, there are not only advantages. From the moment you touch it, time starts flowing again.
‘That doesn’t mean you win.’
All you have to do is fire a spell that kills you as soon as it touches you.
After I gather mana. The 7th rank magic, ‘Sun Flare’ was fired.
The moment the condensed fireball touches the guy’s body, time flows again.
“Now it’s time to die… . Wow!”
White flames engulf his body in an instant. Soon even the screams melted away due to the overwhelming heat. It spread in all directions and even extended to a strange army, turning the advance itself into a failure.
‘her… . Is it a soul this time?’
Did they think it was cliché to keep giving me skeletons that were used as material?
The material I got this time is ‘soul’. Strictly speaking, it can be said to be a fragment of God, but… .
“Erin… . What was that just now?”
“The dignity of an archmage.”
“… It’s really out of standard. Now I don’t think I can beat you either.”
Rachel looked at me as if I was dumbfounded. In a way, it’s natural.
“Let’s go. I haven’t been able to properly get it into the Demon King’s Castle yet. I want to finish it within today.”
“Okay… .”
She looked at me as if she was fed up. I walked away without answering that.
Now the battle has come to an end.
***
The news that one of the leading executives had been brutally executed spread throughout the Demon King Castle.
– If this continues, won’t we all die?
– You idiot! There’s still one person left!
– But… . Three people got hit? No matter how strong you are!
The dedicated ‘servants’ that Caroline created by infusing intelligence into the hordes of monsters she had collected and collected upon awakening as the Demon Lord were nothing more than a bunch of cowards.
‘It’s annoying. Even human soldiers weren’t at this level. Should I just get rid of everything… .’
As expected, an improvised product is just an improvised product. Only in this way can it be called the ‘Devil’s army’ that threatens the world?
‘I guess we’ll have to kill them all as soon as this is over. I’ll have to start again from the beginning. ‘It would take too long to destroy the entire continent with a ragtag group like this.’
Caroline, who had decided to annihilate her men in her heart, stood up feeling much lighter.
‘… No. After all, they are just sacrifices for the new god. It would be okay if I killed you here and now.’
She stretched her hands forward. At the end, the mana that slowly took away vitality spread out.
Sounds, smells, colors. The flow of death, which could not even be felt, slowly swallowed everything inside.
“You and I are ultimately just lambs for a new god. So don’t be too afraid.”
Her tone suddenly became like that of a priest worshiping a certain god.
