Kyle

It’s now been roughly nine months since the Elf Expedition departed for the Spirit Realm.

A few days have passed since I, Kyle, impregnated Ms. Lime.

Today, I received a strange report in my office.

According to the report, among the Demon spiritists, those whose connection with spirits is being severed are continuously appearing.

I felt a throbbing in my head and muttered.

“Haa… Aren’t the Four Great Spirit Kings doing their jobs properly?”

Come to think of it, I’m too strong, so there’s never been a need to utilize the Four Great Spirit Kings, and I had completely forgotten about them.

I summoned Elquines, the Water Spirit King, to ask about the Spirit Realm situation.

As soon as Elquines, with her murky blue skin and seductive face, appeared, she fussed about with a hurried expression.

“Kyle! Why are you summoning me after so long!”

“Sorry. I’ve been busy lately…”

“The summoning isn’t important! The Spirit Realm is in big trouble right now! Kyaaaa!”

“Wait! Calm down. What’s going on?”

“The Elves are trying to corrupt the Spirit Realm with light and have invaded!”

“What?! Tell me in detail.”

The Spirit Realm is a circular continent with the World Tree Omar’s kingdom at its center.

Surrounding it are the Water Spirit King Elquines’ kingdom to the northeast, the Earth Spirit King Noah’s kingdom to the southeast, the Wind Spirit King Sylphid’s kingdom to the southwest, and the Fire Spirit King Ifrit’s kingdom to the northwest.

According to Elquines, the Four Great Spirit Kings had purified most of the Spirit Realm with darkness, but about nine months ago, the World Tree Omar called Elf reinforcements into the Spirit Realm.

The wicked light Elves have unicorns and powerful light magicians, and they’ve been using cunning tactics to capture good dark spirits and corrupt them with light, and they’ve almost reclaimed the World Tree Omar’s land.

‘I solved the Demon Lord Army issue, and now it’s the Spirit Realm…’

I asked with a serious expression.

“So, what do we need to do to purify the Spirit Realm back to darkness?”

“The Elves and Omar have a way to corrupt spirits with light, and we also have a way to purify corrupted light spirits back to darkness, so it’s a close match. The point is, we need to suppress the Elves and the World Tree with a stronger force.”

“Then I have no choice but to lead reinforcements to the Spirit Realm. Is there a way?”

“Come to think of it, you’ve become a demigod. If the Four Great Spirit Kings gather, we can exert power equal to the World Tree. If you give us divinity, we’ll create a gate to the Spirit Realm.”

‘It’s fortunate that the Demon Lord Army has been worshipping me recently, so a lot of divinity is coming to me.’

“Okay. Take this divinity.”

I took out all the divinity that the Demon Lord Army had sent me while worshipping me as a god.

A huge black sphere of divinity floated above my hand.

Elquines shouted with sparkling eyes.

“That’s it! With that much, we can send an additional 300 people to the Spirit Realm besides you.”

“That’s good. But how do we get back?”

“Either you die, or you return. If you don’t die, you’ll either purify or absorb the World Tree Omar into darkness, right? Then you can definitely return.”

“Okay. Wait for me, as I need to gather troops.”

“Okay! The cunning Elves’ power is quite strong, so there’s no time. Summon the Four Great Spirit Kings when you’ve gathered all the troops.”

I nodded to Elquines and reverse-summoned her after she received my divinity.

I left the office, summoned the archbishops, and chose the heroes who would go on the expedition to the Spirit Realm.

Thanks to my Tentacle Airship form, I was able to quickly gather heroes from all over the Kyle Holy Kingdom.

The Spirit Realm Expedition consisted of me,

Louisa (my wife, Wall of Trust),

Kanpasha (Dark Excalibur),

Nerubika (my wife, Starlight Staff of Starlight Meteor Shower),

Asmodeus (my wife, Goddess of Lust and Tentacles),

Matthias (Fortia, the spear that hits when you stab, son of Trenda),

Hantes (Diareshte, the sword that cuts magic, Matthias’s best friend),

Mona (an excellent sealing magician, daughter of Claris),

Elhar (Iron Mask, long Warhammer, Demon gladiator with ram horns),

and 292 carefully selected Tentacle elite soldiers.

The other wives were too busy with pregnancy and childcare to go with me.

I entrusted the operation of the Kyle Holy Kingdom to Lucy-nuna and Melissa.

I also decided to start the Elf Kingdom invasion.

First, I went north to Bohak Forest and subjugated the Orc Union and the Kobold Union to the Kyle Holy Kingdom’s economic and military community.

The Orc Union and the Kobold Union accepted me as their god.

The Myo Tribe Village didn’t accept me as their god, but they were frightened by my great power and troops and were subjugated to the Kyle Holy Kingdom.

I instructed Chike King of the Slime Kingdom, Queen Zahara of the Giant Ent Kingdom, and General Winston of the Kyle Holy Kingdom to prepare to attack the northern Elf Kingdom.

The Slime Kingdom, along with the Orc Union, would advance upwards from the left side of Bohak Forest,

the Giant Ent Kingdom, along with the Kobold Union, would advance upwards from the middle,

and the Kyle Holy Kingdom would advance upwards from the Myo Tribe Village on the right with giant Tentacle cannons and Tentacle elite soldiers.

Today is two weeks since I received the call from Elquines.

The 300-member Spirit Realm Expedition gathered in the capital’s plaza.

The plaza’s surroundings were packed with people who had come from all directions to see the expedition.

I stood on the prepared platform in front of the expedition with a confident face and gave a speech.

“Right now, our ally, the Spirit Realm, is in danger of being corrupted by the cunning Elves’ invasion. The kings of the Spirit Realm have asked us for help! I, Kyle, will not disregard the Elves’ shameless violence! Heroes! Save the Spirit Realm from the light and fill it with darkness!”

All the heroes of the expedition shouted in unison with overflowing energy, making the capital resound.

“Uwaaaa! Let’s save the Spirit Realm!”

The faces of the expedition soldiers were filled with pride at being chosen as heroes to carry out an important mission.

When I summoned the Four Great Spirit Kings, they created a huge black portal with the divinity I had given them.

Elquines explained the portal to me.

“Kyle. This portal leads to my kingdom. We’re still at war, so we’ll go to the Spirit Realm first and wait.”

The Four Great Spirit Kings left only the black portal and returned to the Spirit Realm.

I announced the start of the expedition.

“All heroes! Follow me to the Spirit Realm!”

“Uwaaaa!”

I led the expedition and confidently entered the black portal.

People threw flowers at the expedition and encouraged their departure.

—

After passing through the black portal, we were in the water.

Lower-level water spirits in the form of small, murky blue dolls to human-sized higher-level water spirits welcomed us.

Since the expedition consisted of my subordinates and Tentacles, they could move in the water.

Elquines approached me and introduced this place with a satisfied face.

“This is my kingdom, and most of it is made up of lakes. The kids around here are all that’s left of my kingdom that’s been purified with darkness.”

“What are you doing with the spirits that have been corrupted by light?”

“I’ll show you. Follow me~”

Elquines guided us to a huge, transparent tank.

The tank was filled with Semen overflowing with dark energy, and inside, spirits corrupted by light were trapped, screaming in pain.

“Save me!! Kuaaaack!”

“My body is being invaded~~ It’s sticky!! Kyaaaaack!”

When a lower-level spirit was completely purified with darkness, it was naturally able to come out of the tank.

The lower-level spirit expressed its joy at being purified.

“Kihihhihi! Darkness is the best after all! I’m so happy~~!”

Elquines stroked the small lower-level spirit’s head as if it were lovely and said.

“You’ve returned to the right path. I’m glad~!”

I looked at the spirits corrupted by light, and one side of my chest ached at their pain.

“Damn it… Those bad light bastards. Corrupting spirits with light and giving them such tremendous pain.”

Elquines nodded in agreement and said with a sad face.

“That’s right. If we can’t stop them now, more spirits will suffer from the light.”

“We need to finish this situation quickly. Let’s go to the front line to check the enemy’s forces.”

The expedition followed Elquines and the spirits to the border where the World Tree Omar’s territory could be seen.

We only stuck our heads out of the water and could see the vast plains of Omar’s territory.

Numerous water, earth, wind, and fire spirits corrupted by light were guarding the border, and Elves were also seen here and there.

I asked Elquines a question.

“Are the Elves just staying like that without attacking?”

“When we had purified most of Omar’s territory, the Elves suddenly poured in, and we were pushed back. Omar’s group is focusing on defense after reclaiming the territory.”

“Hmm. The Elves are quite defensive. As the territory expands, attacking other places might lead to losing the weakened land, so they’ve stopped like that.”

“I think so too.”

“Do the enemies know we’ve come?”

“No. They probably don’t.”

Kanpasha proposed a plan to me with a serious face.

“Your Majesty. There’s a saying that the best defense is offense. When they’re scattered to guard all the borders, if we dig into one place like an awl, we can strike the leader, Omar.”

Mona added an idea with a cheerful face.

“If the other Spirit Kings launch a full-scale attack first and the troops go there, we can inflict even greater damage if we strike the enemy!”

I pondered for a moment and told Mona the limitations of that method.

“If only three out of four attack, anyone would think it’s a trap and preserve their important forces.”

Mona pouted her lips when her suggestion was rejected and asked.

“Uuing… Then what do we do?”

“If we attack everything and make them think it’s a real full-scale attack, the enemies will send their important forces to the Fire Spirit King Ifrit, who has the strongest destructive power. At that time, we’ll receive help from the earth spirits in the Earth Spirit King Noah’s kingdom and strike the enemy.”

“How will the earth spirits help?”

“The earth spirits are the best tanks, and they can also hide our appearance.”

“I see! Your Majesty is a genius!”

Elquines also chuckled when she heard my plan.

“Good plan! Now we can give those light bastards a taste of their own medicine~ Kihihhihi!”

The Earth Spirit King Noah’s kingdom is made up of huge earth mountains.

As soon as we entered Noah’s kingdom, Noah, a giant earth golem, came out from the ground and welcomed us.

“Welcome. Don’t misunderstand, I’m not particularly glad.”

I told Noah our plan.

With the help of the earth spirits, we entered a moving cavity in the ground and moved to the front line.

We gently dug the ground above the cavity and stuck our heads out to look outside.

Far away, spirits and Elves were guarding the border, but fortunately, there were no unicorns.

Noah gathered dark earth spirits to attack.

Dark earth spirits lined up on the border of Noah’s kingdom, creating a huge force.

The World Tree camp also lined up light earth spirits and 75 Elves to prepare for battle.

The appearance of the earth spirits varied in size from earth dolls to earth giants.

The Earth Spirit King Noah was the largest, at 60m tall as an earth giant.

After several tens of minutes, a dark high-level wind spirit flew to us and reported that Elquines, Ifrit, and Sylphid had also lined up their troops on the border and then returned.

Ten minutes later, Noah ordered in a loud voice so that the entire army could hear.

“Let’s show the power of darkness to those treacherous light armies! Everyone, advance!”

All the dark earth spirits, including Noah, shouted in unison and ran towards the light camp.

“Kuaaaa! Die, you arrogant light bastards!”

The light earth spirits also shouted in unison and ran towards the dark camp.

“Uwaaa! Light will not lose to darkness!”

My group came out of the cavity to the ground and advanced hidden behind an advancing earth wall made by the earth spirits.

The Elves shot arrows from behind the earth wall made by the earth spirits, and they all fired powerful aura arrows without the help of spirits because they were all strong.

The aura arrows fired by the Elves left afterimages like lasers and flew straight through the heads of the dark earth spirits, causing the earth spirits to crumble.

The higher-level earth spirits, including Noah, shot earth spears from their bodies, hitting the arrows and running forward.

Soon, the army of light earth spirits and the army of dark earth spirits collided near the border with a loud roar of Kuaaang Kwaaang, punching each other.

Noah stomped on and killed the light lower-level earth spirits with his feet, and a light highest-level earth spirit with a height of 50m ran towards Noah and shouted.

“Noah! I’ve always wanted to fight you someday!”

Noah accepted in a regretful tone.

“Pintom. In the end, you joined the light camp. Come!”

“Your face that understands everything! It pisses me off!”

Pintom threw a right fist at Noah’s face.

Noah leaned his upper body to Pintom’s right to dodge and grabbed Pintom’s head with his right hand, pulled it down, and slammed his right knee into Pintom’s stomach, causing a loud noise.

Kuaaaang

Pintom’s back bulged out, and Pintom coughed up dirt in pain.

“Puheeeek! Cough cough! It’s not over yet!”

The moment Pintom pushed Noah away with his hands and kicked him with his feet, Noah jumped and kicked Pintom’s head with a mid-air back kick.

Bbaaaang

Pintom’s head was destroyed, and Pintom crumbled.

Noah landed and said to himself.

“Farewell. I didn’t particularly dislike you. Poor Pintom.”

Noah punched and shattered the head of another light high-level earth spirit who was aiming for an opening and throwing a punch.

Light earth spirits and dark earth spirits were punching and brawling with each other everywhere.

Arrows and light magic fired by the Elves were shot at the dark earth spirits, and plant magic wrapped around the feet of the dark earth spirits, annoying them.
