Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 474
[474[Tuesday] Apostate may care, but I don't
There were many courageous people in the Demon King's army, but there were not many skilled people who could properly respond to a surprise attack with a needle in the middle of a melee..
Moreover, among the regular soldiers, there were many who could not even react properly to my attacks unless they were doping using a surge of magical energy. At least it is safe to say that the guys who approached, led by the guy who saw the threat of the needle I was throwing and made a quick decision, were the most useful around here..
At the same time that the last of those useful guys lost his life after having his spine split by my axe, someone shouted after seeing the signal flare rising into the sky from the Demon King's camp in the distance..
"Check for enemy signals! Prepare your formation! Soon the illusion wizard will appear!"
As I retrieved the ax stuck in the guy, looking at the signal that was clearly visible even in the still bright sky, Siegfried naturally approached me, leaving behind the knights moving in perfect order..
Just a moment ago, fierce battles were taking place in all directions, but now it is different. Maybe it's because we ran away screaming like we were in a delirium, but there is an unbelievably cold silence around us..
Is it because, unlike my allies who cannot properly feel the magic I am using, they clearly feel it? The last word that the dead soldier shouted, 'warrior', seemed to become a huge shackle holding their ankles..
Even though I think it is an incredibly hard guess, I can feel a strange current in my skin that I cannot deny because there is similar evidence right in front of me that supports the hypothesis..
I wanted to reduce the number of people by whistling once more, but if I attacked like a cornered rat, there was a risk that the atmosphere of fear I had created would be broken, so I stopped at whistling to retrieve the needle..
Fortunately, our allies showed actions that were contrary to the devil's army. It is said that while the enemy hesitated and retreated, he boldly laid down his sword once more. When the enemies realized the truth that even if they stayed still, they would not avoid the sword, they began to retreat as quickly as the fear spread..
According to what I heard from Siegfried, in the end it would only be a strategic retreat... but seeing as there were some guys who couldn't even properly gather their weapons and ran away, unexpected variables must have played a big role in my country..
"Dong... Brother, what you say is very funny, right? Did you learn it somewhere else??"
"I roughly pieced together what I had picked up a few times while fighting with members of the church. Rather, our knights?"
There was no way to hide the fact that I had divine power when the priests already recognized my divine power..
However, it was a waste of time to persuade and convince him by outright saying that I was a warrior of the Demon Cult, so I had no choice but to justify my individual actions with the help of Siegfried, who was like a human-limited identity check..
The only thing that was a little different from what I expected was that the warrior Siegfried personally heard the plan and agreed to it, so my one-sided request to keep up with my unexpected actions was passed very easily. It seems that a synergy effect occurred due to the fact that the shouting at the command post during the Siege of Lévienne and the fact that my visit was at the request of the princess overlapped..
"Do you think it's just a distraction operation? Some people were really worried about what the god you serve would say.."
Well... you seem to be worried about many things. You won't say anything about this, but.
Like a soldier, I will follow orders, but my intentions may be different, so I told him in advance and asked him to give me a quick look, but this time, the response was more ordinary than expected..
"You've been working so hard on the Devil's Army operation, but are you worried that our allies will be suspicious? Even if they reveal that their older brother is a hero, they say, ‘Ah, that’s right. So when are you going to cut the demon king's army?' I should have moved on.?"
"You don't know what's going on in the world, right? I would have thought that we would meet people from different worlds from Korea right now.?"
"I don't think it's an example since it's such a special case, but I understand what you mean.."
It was great to meet people from the same world and share secret stories. If we just talk in Korean, no one but us will understand, so if we just lower our voices, we don't even have to worry about someone listening to us secretly..
"But, he's a real demon hero.?"
"Uh huh. Masin''."
"Damn, you are really faithful. It was like that in my past life too?"
"If you die and are reborn, and it is by God's grace, isn't it polite to gain faith that you didn't have before??"
Siegfried nodded obediently in understanding, but it was only a reaction close to understanding my situation. While we had a nonsensical conversation among ourselves and took a moment to relax, the surroundings were busy..
Our allies, who moved to support our rear, which had protruded forward a lot, hastily reorganized their formation, and while the Demon King's army retreated, they gathered discipline again and established a defensive line. I could tell that the momentum had changed a lot from before, but that doesn't mean I can let my guard down and laugh at it..
In one way or another, they are people who fought for more than several years on a battlefield that must have been hellish. After sorting out the confusion to some extent, it seems like he has regained the composure to fight mechanically..
Still, just as I was hoping that they wouldn't charge again, I began to feel a distinct presence behind them..
"Zeke."
In response, he relaxed his neck, put down his ax, and drew his sword. Siegfried also calmly answered, adjusting his grip to Nothung..
"Oh, right. That bastard."
The appearance is nothing particularly impressive. All he has is horns, intact limbs, all facial features, and poor armor for a wizard on the battlefield..
However, the energy surrounding them was very similar to that of the dregs..
"Huh, those damn things."
The problem was that Ephah could clearly feel his divine power above him..
"Zeke, does reviving the body of a dead god and fighting fall into the category of necromancy??"
"what? What are you talking about suddenly??"
Maybe it was because I almost got connected to the scum running amok, but I was sure..
They have succeeded in weaponizing the remnants of the evil spirit, and even though we do not know the structure, they are forcibly using Epaga's divine power mixed with magic as a resource to operate the weapon..
And all the illusion wizards who appeared before my eyes were all using it. Judging by the difference in output, it seems that stable mass production has not yet been achieved, but the fact that it is being used so confidently is a very threatening situation..
If they all turn into mass-produced runaway axemen, or if they can make their enemies do that, a catastrophe would occur..
"That's a shit-colored haired bitch. Is he the boss??"
"...If you mean dark brown, then yes. He spoke Korean."
For the first time in a while, I feel like my head is spinning in areas other than combat..
What I feel now is that Epaga’s divine power is greater. However, the Princess Leech clearly said that Siegfried encountered people who used the power of the evil god, so when they actually activate their abilities, the divine power becomes food and is eaten by the waste, and based on that, the power of the evil god becomes something beneficial to them. will manifest.
"Even the Empire's illusionists consider themselves worthless on the front line, so they design and use magic only within the territory of the Empire.."
"Suddenly... Ah, I'm still wondering why those bastards can come out confidently.?"
"The correct answer is alchemist."
After getting Siegfried's empty laugh by returning the drip I heard before, I tried to activate my magical power to the maximum, but as expected, there was not even a trace of illusion magic..
The preparation process for illusion magic cannot be skipped, even if it is demon magic powered by magical power..
But those bastards proudly stand out and are clad in the power of God..
Is there anything among the powers of God that can skip the preparation process?...
"...Transformation into a god."
"what?"
"It seems like those bastards are using the remnants of evil spirits to use tools that can transform them into pseudo-gods. With that, it's not a new role, but a kind of buff for your friends. Since I could skip the preparation process, which is the worst drawback of illusion magic, I was able to go crazy at the front line, beguiling people. Otherwise it's incoherent."
As someone who knew nothing about the principles, it was questionable whether even that made sense, but if you combined the remnants of evil spirits and illusion magic and brought it down to a level that even mortals could easily use, that was all that was possible..
It's possible that they're using the power of a god we don't know about, but if that were the case, our allies wouldn't have clearly stated that it was illusion magic. If at least one person had hit that damn thing, I think there would have been more possibilities in mind in many ways, but no matter how diligently the Demon King's army prepared for war, it was more likely that they had printed a deteriorated copy of it as long as it moved with a dozen like that..
The poop-colored head, who calmly approached the battlefield without any hesitation, even to the battlefield where a border had suddenly been created as if it were a temporary truce, looked at Siegfried in a strangely languid manner and opened his mouth..
"Get on today, you warrior, you’re so fierce. I made up my mind by thinking that my child was for nothing.?"
What the fuck are you talking about? Why is your pronunciation so slurred? Unlike me, who tilted his head at the mess of pronunciation that reminded me of the Korean language used awkwardly by foreign actors in American dramas, Siegfried spat and answered as if nothing had happened..
"okay. I want to refuse. You shouldn't have done that fucking trick on my girl's shoulder.."
"Anyway, it's not like you're in the early stages of this world...."
The attitude of the two was very serious, but I couldn't hold back my anger at the poop-colored hair's pronunciation and ended up hitting Siegfried on the back of the head with my palm..
Sigh! The cheerful sound startled both allies and enemies, and Siegfried was astonished, but I have no regrets because it was at a level that I could not bear..
"Why did you suddenly hit me!?"
"Hey fuck. Your ears fluttered when you heard that pronunciation? I don't know where I picked it up, but I can't open it.!"
"what? What are you talking about? You're speaking normally?"
"what is that..."
For a moment, my hand almost went out again, but a sudden realization made me stop..
"What are you...?"
The expression of the poop-colored haired man who had just seen us conversing in Korean was strangely distorted. His speech is still slurred. Even if the guy is kind and uses Korean, his pronunciation can never be Korean..
But the guy said that as soon as he saw Zeke, he started talking to him in Korean..
I don't know if I would have tried to converse in various languages, but how could I have spoken to Siegfried in Korean first when I wasn't even Korean??
"My name is Eldmia Egar.."
Moving my body faster than I could come to a conclusion, I picked up the ax that was stuck on the floor and threw it at the poop-colored head..
That bastard is salty..
