My Villains Episode 644

73. Army of Evil God(12)

It's just a guess, but this world is probably vaster than any other world I've ever experienced..

First of all, isn’t this a hidden world created through more than 40 wounded soldiers? Wouldn't it be bigger than when one person was used as the core??

The good news is that it was only six days ago that the wounded soldiers, who were supposed to be the core of the underworld, were attacked and lost consciousness..

According to information obtained through the maid who was buried alive, Evie, the size of the underworld was proportional to the period of time she suffered from servant disease. Assuming that the other worlds of the 44 wounded soldiers were combined without loss - this new world would be the same as that of the patient who suffered from Servant's disease for 264 days. Since Evie was sick for a month and a half, it means that it is about 6 times bigger than before..

However, this guess may not be exactly correct. The fact that all of the troops from the garrison had moved here was an element that went against the calculations..

Because I could only accept three, at most, nine worlds that I experienced in the royal capital. If it were six times bigger than Evey's secret world, the number of people allowed to enter should have been fifty-four, but the number of people trapped here is well over three hundred..

Well, no matter what the calculation was, there was no room for speculation that this hidden world would be an incomparably more dangerous place than before. If the scale was the largest, the magical energy contained in the dimension would also be the most abundant, and the ‘guardian’ that protects the core of the dimension would also be the most powerful..

The guardians encountered in Evie's underworld were steel trolls, dragon priests, and dozens of goat monsters. The ones guarding this place must be monsters that are several or dozens of times stronger than him..

If the group of guardians included the greenskins who had killed more than a thousand of them and the black fairies who disappeared at some point, the remaining guardians would not have been so threatening..

On the other hand, if there is another group of guardians separate from the countless greenskins... … . The detachment would face an enemy beyond imagination..

The Greenskins' offensive was carried out by surrounding the garrison and then attacking it with loud and sporadic signals..

Of course, that many goblins and orcs didn't fall out of thin air and surround them. A few mages used their mana to detect them, and skilled hunters took risks to scout, and the greenskin hordes appeared mainly from the northeast..

Due to these circumstances, the primary maneuver route of the detachment was set to the west. It was to avoid a situation where you accidentally encounter a greenskin and lose your mind..

Considering the shitty environment of the underworld and the incomprehensible number of greenskins, fighting had to be avoided as much as possible..

Even if the enemies you face right away don't pose much of a threat, once the commotion breaks out, there is a high possibility that other enemies will come. I wanted to avoid, as much as possible, a situation where I was surrounded by endless waves of enemies in a dark battlefield..

The detachment headed southwest crossed the valley and climbed the slope for a long time. And when I reached the ridge on the other side, I took a counterclockwise route based on the garrison..

If this were Middle-earth, the detachment members standing on the ridge could clearly see the garrison located on a small table over the valley. In terms of straight-line distance, it is about 4 to 5 kilometers at most, and there is no obstacle blocking the view..

However, this is a side world imitating Middle Earth, so the view was as dark as the night before and it was quiet as if no one was there except us..

The members of the detachment, who were very nervous and had beads of sweat on their foreheads as they had come up the rough mountain path, could only guess as they groped in the strangely thick darkness that the garrison would be located somewhere out there..

Of course, such random thoughts were a privilege granted only to those who had the physical strength. Under my guidance, the detachment was continuing its forced march at almost a breakneck speed. Most people were too busy breathing heavily rather than looking around..

As a wizard, Ellen wore light clothing and did not carry any luggage, but she was completely spread out in less than two hours after leaving the camp. Normally, I would have been happy to carry him, but I couldn't do anything that would arouse suspicion while I was disguised, so one-eyed Simos is doing the hard work for me..

Other wizards were in a similar situation, so they somehow followed along with the help of knights or more trained members..

The only exceptions were Norman, the wizard of the Teryx family, and Milga, the deacon. Norman was a young man and, as a warlock, had a lot of experience in the military, so he was in good health, and Milga was quite strong, although it may have been because he was a former serf..

…… Looking at it this way, Ellen's poor physical strength seems to be more noticeable - but in fact, her physical strength has improved at least now..

As my level went up, my health also improved by several points, and while I was staying at Eisbowald, I couldn't help but exercise regularly. Thanks to this, my condition is much better than in the past, when I was skinny and had no muscle at all. My chopstick-like legs are still the same, but they are on a whole different level from 3 years ago when I was sick just because I walked around the drain..

Since I made that much progress, I could have lasted at least 2 hours. In the past, I would have started crying before I even got out of the valley..

As I was checking Ellen's condition by pretending to glance at the crew following me, someone suddenly spoke to me..

“You're on the right track, now.?”

Euphria, who had been next to me ever since I left the camp, was grumbling again..

As if to prove his superhuman physical ability, he was wearing plate armor that covered more than half of his body and carrying a large backpack, but he showed no sign of fatigue. Even though it is a relatively flat ridge, it is a wilderness area with no clear roads, but it looks relaxed as if you are taking a walk in the backyard..

“They made a fuss about being a separate unit and a dangerous mission, but what was so boring… … . By any chance, teacher, you didn’t lie to get rid of me.?”

His tone was very rough, but judging by the fact that he was using the correct title, he seemed to be in a good mood. I noticed this and responded lightly as always..

“If you were running away, would you have rushed out like this? I snuck out alone.”

“Well, I guess I did it because I was worried. It would be suspicious if they only brought me along, so they brought in a few more people for no reason..”

“……You don't really think that way.?”

“Why, no?”

“Of course not. In fact, if I can leave just one person behind, I will definitely do it.-”

“Wait, teacher. It would be better to think carefully about what you say afterward before speaking..”

“why?”

“Why? It's because I'm hurt..”

“uh… … . But what can I do? No matter how much I think about it, there is no one I want to leave behind except Euphria..”

When he said that and made a somewhat sad expression, Euphria smiled brightly..

“……You know what? When I look at you, I think of Brody, who I left behind at Tenensis Castle..”

“Who is Brody??”

“A dog. 말 엄청 엄청 안 듣는 개새끼. You don't know how cute and obnoxious it is.”

“Hey Euphria, I definitely said swearing is prohibited..”

At my sighing words, she widened her eyes with an innocent look on her face..

“Huh? I've never sworn at you?”

“You just did it..”

“Oh, a dog? 그럼 개새끼를 개새끼라고 부르지 뭐라고 불러요?”

“…….”

“Oh my, my teacher must be mad.”

She covered her mouth, pretending to be scared, and muttered quite loudly, pretending to look at me..

“How good. It would be a really big problem if Mr. Ludo rushed to tell the princess. Oh, if I get kicked out of college, I might have to go back to my hometown.-”

Of course, I'm being sarcastic about what I said a few days ago..

I sold the names of Princess Eadina and the Steering Committee to stop Euphria, who was about to explode due to a fight with Ellen. Looking back, it was a truly absurd threat. What does the steering committee's disciplinary action mean to her who is studying abroad in the royal capital by force?.

It was absolutely impossible, but even if she was expelled, Euphria would have nothing to lose. Just go back to Unpast and live like a princess again..

I cleared my throat with a little embarrassment..

“……Huh. The chat has gotten longer. That's enough, let's focus on the control again.-”

“What are you talking about? I haven't been scolded yet.”

I wanted to sort out the situation, but she kept teasing me with a bright face, as if she had no intention of letting me go..

“If you tell her she’s cute and say “come on”, she gets into bad habits. I have to teach her a lesson, even if it means spanking her. Yes, teacher?”

Euphria, who walked ahead with a light step, gently shook her buttocks. The short chain draping hanging below the back of the breastplate was rolled back, exposing leather pants..

“…….”

For a moment, I was blinded by her attractive curves, but then I caught up with her at a brisk pace..

slap.

“Wow,”

With a suppressed scream, Euphria, who was holding her hips with both hands, looked back at me with an expression of disbelief..

“now, my, my-”

Looking at her face, which quickly turned red, I calmly shrugged my shoulders..

“Stop fussing and take a look around. I'm going to take a short break.”

“This crazy teacher has really gone crazy.?”

“He asked me to spank him. Why are you lacking? I'll hit you more?”

I left Euphria, whose face was a mix of confusion and bewilderment, with her lips pursed like a crucian carp, and turned to the rest of the group..

“Now, let’s take a breather here..”

As soon as my words fell, the faces of the crew members, who were walking away with their heads down, turned bright red..

“I would appreciate it if Sir Girion and Lord Okoshea would be on guard while the rest of the crew rests. And Ken, I'd like you to scout the area. You can follow Euphria here..”

The members who were called put down their bags without a word of complaint and followed my assignment. Euphria, who was standing there hesitantly, also wheezed slightly and turned away when Ken, that is, Cole, who was using the pseudonym 'Kenneth', approached her..

“And, Doris? this way for a moment.”

“Yes, yes! I'm going now-”

The young man who had just sat on the tree trunk hurriedly got up. Then, seeing him sit back down as if his legs were shaking, I waved my hand and approached him..

“No, it's okay, just sit down..”

“Thank you, teacher.…….”

“Are you okay? Can you go further??”

“Yes, yes. Of course. You won't die, so don't worry too much..”

Contrary to what she said, Doris looked like she was about to run out of breath at any moment. I handed him a water bag and waited long enough..

“I'd like to start detecting around here, but is that possible??”

“Of course, it is possible. What spell should I use??”

Doris specializes in the spells of the Empire's School of Destruction, that is, 'Linhow on the Mountain', but she studied at the Royal College for two years under the support of Aeneas, and learned several detection-type spells. As if reflecting this, he presented several options in a confident manner..

“Since the environment is the environment, ‘sensory amplification’ is not very useful. The visibility distance is the same, and it is difficult to say that it is a meaningful benefit in terms of hearing. The ‘third eye’ is also not suitable for this environment. The biggest advantage of that spell is the view from the sky... … Of course it would be of no use, in a place like this..”

He continued speaking, taking out each bag containing the spell media..

“Perhaps 'presence detection' or 'clairvoyance' can be expected to be effective.…….”

“Is there anything on your mind??”

“Well, I'm a little worried about the magic wave..”

“Magic Wavelength?”

When I gave a puzzled look, Doris quickly explained..

“Well, you've probably already heard, but this quasi-dimension is a place filled with all kinds of otherworldly magic. The magic power is very turbid and dense. If Middle-earth is a river of pure water called Mana, then this place is like a ditch full of dirty mud..”

“So?”

“Uh, that's it. Compared to Middle-earth, the impact of using magical power is much greater. It's more than four times more..”

“Does that matter? At the garrison, everyone used magic regardless..”

“That's because the probability that goblins or orcs will feel the magic wave is low. Of course, it would be a different story if there was a shaman, but the battle is urgent right now, so you can't worry about that, right?.”

He scratched his cheek and smiled bitterly..

“And, now that the magic wave has started to explode, it must have been the mindset that things should happen as they happen..”

“Are you saying it's different now??”

“Well, of course it was your intention, but you came this far without using a single spell. But if a magic wave explodes here... … . Actually, the detection class has a larger magic wave than other classes..”

I was pretending not to know, but the truth was I knew everything. This is information I confirmed from the maid Evie..

Regardless of its size, the other world is like a fish tank filled with liquid up to the surface, so even if a very small amount of magical energy is used within it, the impact is very large. Not only could you feel the change inside, but external beings could also notice the water overflowing from the fish tank..

And, it is said that the method used by the Dark Knight Achillemnur to monitor the numerous hidden worlds he created was also using the same principle..

Of course, the person Doris was conscious of right now was not the Dark Knight. He wasn't even a greenskin..

“According to legend, black fairies - strictly speaking, black fairy women - all have magical talents. If you just read the history of the ancient empire, you will find more than a hundred names of powerful black fairy mages..”

Doris continued speaking with a worried look..

“If such a being were here, it might recognize it as soon as I cast the spell..”

“That's good.”

“……yes?”

“I said it went well.”

To him with a blank face, I nodded slightly..

“That's exactly what I want.”

“……Uh, wasn't the target of the special force a dimensional nucleus??”

“you're right. And the intermediate task for that goal is to catch the black fairy..”

I patted Doris on the shoulder, who looked like she didn't understand, and gave instructions quietly..

“Well, I think I've had enough rest... … Let’s start with ‘clairvoyance’..”
