Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 471

[471[Tuesday] Apostate may care, but I don't

It was after the emergence of the Special Operations Command that the position of illusion wizards within the Demon King's army began to be reexamined..

Until now, it was the accepted opinion that it was impossible for even the best illusion wizard to stand out on the battlefield, but one day, a new turning point was reached through the blasphemous research and investigation attempted by a newly established secret organization..

The key point is Shinyeok (神域). The answer lies in the power of the gods, who had previously existed in the realm of incomprehensibility and knowledge, but transformed the entire area into their domain upon their arrival..

It is unknown where the evil god's body was obtained, but one of the many results from the process of interpreting the dead divinity greatly contributed to the development of illusion magic, and after years of research, the original illusion magic was created by imitating the power of the gods. I was able to complete the spell to manifest the numerous preliminary steps required to cast it in an instant like a divine power..

The ripple effect it had was enormous. It was a natural reaction since a lump of luggage that was just a fixed trap had become a weapon that could directly chase the enemy..

As soon as the illusion wizard activates the spell, those within the range fall under the spell without realizing it. Even though its essence is magical power, it is so secret that it is difficult for even experienced magicians to notice it unless they know it in advance, perhaps because divine power is used to manifest the spell..

Of course, just as everything in the world requires a price, there were some very slight obstacles, but they could be easily dealt with by controlling the scale of the magic, so high-ranking officials who saw the research results with the naked eye wanted to deploy it to the front line right away..

However, Khalesh Visis, a 'tower builder' who has been leading the development of the Special Operations Command and illusion magic research at the cutting edge, decided to completely hide this groundbreaking achievement rather than show it immediately on the front line..

Just to use it as a trumpet to deal with the hero..

'Although it was packaged in such a grandiose way, it was merely a by-product derived from the process of proving the hypothesis that the essence of the gods is magic..'

The woman, who was reminiscing about the past with dark brown hair tied back roughly and eyes filled with deep fatigue, raised her upper body, scratching the horns that had grown out like a bow above her ears. It was not easy for her to get used to the luxuriously decorated lodgings and servants that caught her eye, something she would have never dared to do in the past..

Outside, a war is raging, but inside, it's a completely different world, to the point where you'd believe a nobleman was out on a leisurely picnic. Due to the nature of the demons that favor the strong, it was a luxury that previous illusion wizards could not even dream of..

"Is there any movement from the hero yet??"

"yes."

Even the two men and women who bow their heads as servants are capable of easily overpowering any white captain. Khaleesi, realizing once again that he was using these people as his bodyguards and attendants, burst into laughter..

No matter how many times I thought about it, it was a very good deal to be treated like this in return for abandoning my little faith and committing blasphemy..

"The condition of the troops is?"

"No signs of erosion were reported. It is said that Deputy Baselad went through a separate check to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.."

The adjutant who had followed him faithfully from the beginning of his research until now was as cautious as Khalesi himself. Those who were not careful in the first place were either eroded or ran away and died, so most of those involved could be said to be trustworthy..

Still, just in case, Khalesi adjusted his schedule to check once more after eating, so he quickly finished his meal and left the tent..

Then I tilted my head at the change in atmosphere overnight and asked a question to the guard guarding the tent..

"...Has the military strength decreased somehow??"

"An urgent order to move has been issued. They say that Levien's flute knight appeared at the front.."

"Flute knight? The crazy guy who jumps off that dragon?"

When I first heard about it, I thought maybe I was unable to keep up with the changes in the world because I was stuck doing research, but it turned out that I was the only one living in a different world. In the end, seeing the creation of a surprise attack unit that imitated him, some are saying that he may be some kind of genius, but from Khaleesi's perspective, no matter how you look at it, it was just one of the crazy guy's eccentricities that got caught by chance..

"Does the command think he has enough influence to make major changes to the front lines??"

"Although the situation was not easy, he definitely defeated the person who shot the light. It seems that the headquarters is more cautious about the ability to break through the outer castle alone and the creation of a surprise attack unit, considering it as a variable...."

"...Well, if you look at what he did, he seemed more like a hero.."

Even though I saw the hero of the empire in person, he was a person of interest whose actions were so ridiculous that words like that came out. If only one strong man equivalent to the 10 swords of Itisel had appeared, the headquarters would not have moved in such a hurry..

variable. That damn variable was always the problem..

"The headquarters is also having a hard time. I'm going to check on my subordinates, so if anything goes wrong, look for them there.."

Kalesi turned around, pretending to be calm as he saw the guard bowing his head politely, but in reality, he was overcome by a strange feeling of pleasure..

In terms of strength, that person was superior to him. Illusion magic, which is all about deceiving people in the first place, is not even at the level of being involved in discussions of strength, so it is nothing new..

However, it is now possible for Khaleesi to immediately use illusion magic to make Howie choose his own death. It may be an idea that would have horrified others if they had known, but Khalesi found great satisfaction in making such assumptions in his daily life..

For demons, strength is everything. Maybe it was because I had escaped the shackles of strength all my life, but every time I imagined this, I felt a sense of omnipotence..

After becoming more stable and accustomed to the power, if I can even deal with the warrior, I will be able to look to higher places. Kalesi, who entered the barracks where his men were staying, imagining a future filled with only flower paths, opened his mouth as soon as he saw him, looking around with satisfaction at those who were saluting..

"Baselad."

"Yes, boss.."

At Khalesi's call, a blond man with a rare and impressive single horn stood up..

"I heard that the inspection was already completed last night. I came here just for the first time, but... I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it.?"

"There's nothing wrong."

Because of the horns that only grow on one side, his head is slightly tilted to the side, but his posture is straight. To the question asked while looking at him, the man called Baselad answered immediately without any hesitation..

And that was a report of ‘abnormal signs’ that had already been discussed in advance. Khaleesi, suppressing the urge to frown and feigning calmness, nodded slightly..

"Okay, let's go out and talk for a moment.?"

In order to distract his subordinates, Khalesi ordered a re-check of the equipment and even saw Bazelrad following him, and his expression hardened as soon as the tent at the entrance came down..

"How many?"

"There are two. They were the ones with the least skills, and it seems they couldn't keep their composure on the battlefield and fought a little too much.."

"in what form?"

"was directly involved in the killing."

Tsk. Khaleesi clicked her tongue unconsciously and lowered her head, pressing her temple with her index finger..

Even though it is nothing more than dead dregs, the evil spirit is an evil spirit and if you are a little careless, it becomes an 'obstacle' like this. It is okay to simply deceive, threaten, and confuse the opponent, but if you change the direction of the illusion and intervene in the form of direct murder, you will quickly cross the line..

There is no need to do so, but it is a symptom of putting someone in a state close to an idiot who can't do anything, or making them mistake someone for an acquaintance and then directly stabbing them to death..

It was an act of accelerating erosion, but at the same time it was also evidence that erosion had begun..

"No matter how much I emphasize that that type of magic is inefficient, it comes out in the end.."

"I think this is not a general case. It was a case where I had no choice but to try because I was on the verge of death. I missed it and ended up here now.."

"...That's no problem."

It is impossible to go to each soldier one by one and ask them what battle they fought today. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can't tell it to die gracefully, so it would be more beneficial to adjust it to kill as many enemies as possible before it is completely engulfed..

"They say many troops have already fallen to the rear. If the warrior appears this time, disperse the two separately and accelerate the erosion.."

"Should I leave a message to headquarters??"

"I do it myself. You just need to position yourself well in advance so they can run wild without hesitation.."

Since Baselad had already predicted this situation a long time ago while conducting research together, there were no unnecessary additions. There was a time when I worried about what would happen if he hesitated due to affection, but fortunately, he was the type of person who saw whether he died from erosion or fighting on the battlefield as the same thing..

And it was the same for Khaleesi, so she also had no regrets about her two subordinates who would soon die..

Khalesi just headed to the command center hoping to use this opportunity to properly deal with or placate the hero..

At that moment, a signal flared up in the distance announcing the appearance of a hero..
