Chapter 307
〈 Skirmish (2) 〉
Immortality, a fortress of death that is no different from the home of demons, deep in the northern mountains, now the most forbidden area in Outerica.
A woman who was busy moving around there suddenly sighed involuntarily.
“What is this happening all of a sudden?”
She was Siana, a succubus from the Demon World who unintentionally became a high-ranking official in the Immortal Army.
She stopped in place, slowly looked around, and took another deep breath.
Immortal City was now in a state of disarray.
The reason was that their ruler, the Immortal King, personally led the Legion’s elite combatants and left somewhere...
The resulting management vacuum naturally resulted in the return of heavy workload for the few remaining high-ranking executives.
‘Ah—it’s hard to even look at Olivia’s face, wondering what kind of mission she was given. As the others are away, things to clean up after them keep pouring in!’
Now, among the high-ranking officials, the only ones who remained immortal were herself, Olivia the Banshee Queen, and Archrich Dwell McCain, who controlled the lower-ranking undead.
Compared to usual times, it is almost like an empty house.
In the current situation, if a party of warriors attacked, there was a high probability that they would be helpless, but Sianna did not worry too much about it.
‘Because there are enough guys that can be used as castaways. If a situation like that really comes up, all you have to do is take care of the important things and run away.’
In any case, immortality only had a symbolic meaning and was not a very important structure in reality.
As long as the subject, the Immortal King, is safe, it can be easily recreated anytime, anywhere.
Still, if he neglected management, he could be scolded by the king when he returned later, so it was necessary to make sure that the work assigned to him was completed.
‘How did it end up like this?’
This time, she succeeded in swallowing the sigh without letting it out, and shook her head.
Of course, it wasn’t a bad thing to have a handsome and charismatic boss, but I didn’t like the fact that I wasn’t making much progress toward my personal goals while focusing on the Immortal Army’s work recently.
‘I thought I could find it easier if I borrowed this power... Where on earth is it?’
It may be surprising, but there was a reason why she, a demonic succubus, joined a secret organization called the Oath of Rebellion.
Of course, the revolutionaries approached her first, but didn’t she join them because she also had something she wanted?
Of course, I sought help from Olivia, who was in charge of information, but seeing her busy every day, I couldn’t bring myself to ask her anything.
How can I say more to a person who focuses only on work with little time to rest?
“ah-! it’s annoying! First of all, let’s finish the things we are assigned to quickly. “I need to finish it quickly and go relieve my stress.”
In the end, she screamed out of frustration and began to walk at a brisk pace again.
I was able to endure it because I had the former crown prince Simon, a toy to relieve my stress. If it weren’t for that, my patience might have worn out a long time ago.
‘In this case, I think it would have been better if I just followed along. ‘At least go on a rampage.’
Although she was far from an expert in combat, Siana’s military power was not that bad.
At least I was confident that I would be much more helpful than most executives.
Of course, the immortal king Hans had his own reasons for leaving her behind.
Inside the northern mountain range of the northeastern continent of Ion.
On the other hand, a fierce struggle was taking place between the lives and deaths of the undead.
***
Kwaaaaang—!
A violent storm accompanied by a roar that shook the heavens and earth, swirling as if it would uproot the surrounding vegetation.
The two opposing forces collided again and again, causing flashes of thunder and thunder to shake the entire area.
Although the battle had only recently begun, the surrounding land had already been devastated beyond any means.
It’s a shame because the place was deep in the mountains. If it had been inhabited, it would have already wiped out a large city.
But even in that situation, Hans did not blink an eye and glared straight at his enemy, Buncheonhoeju, right in front of him.
Even though it didn’t have real eyes.
“You seem somehow confident. “It’s definitely increased compared to when I saw it in Japan.”
[Hehehehe, you’re not as good as before, are you? Please try harder.]
“...Well, if you say it that way.”
In fact, both Buncheonhoeju and Hans were not the typical martial arts type, so the fight between them was strangely static, yet extremely splendid.
It’s like a fight over space, with energy encroaching on the surroundings all the time.
Grumble—
flash!
The sunset-colored energy of an arrogant angel flapping its large wings consumed the black darkness, and the pitch-black abyss of an evil demon king moving quickly through space swallowed up the reddish light.
It was like the chaos of light and darkness in the creation myth, and it was a workshop so far away that even those who yearned for power could only feel vague emotions.
“But it’s fascinating.”
As the fight that started again became more mature.
In an unavoidable situation, right after exchanging several blows to each other’s bodies, Beoncheonhoeju, who caused a landslide by exploding a mountain peak in the distance, asked a question in that bizarre voice.
“It seemed like you had prepared well since you first came here. How did you know I would come? Or did this happen to be your base?”
It was certainly surprising from his perspective.
Aside from breaking the seal of the abyss, he quietly infiltrated the surface without any sign or sign.
Perhaps that is also a know-how learned from traveling between different worlds.
However, in this Outerica, it was as if it had been discovered as soon as it entered the ground, so how could it not be suspicious?
‘Besides, it would have been rare to lead such an army of troops and greet them with such intention from the beginning.’
From what I was saying, it seemed like this was the first time something like this had happened.
Well... how can we expect that not only did the saint who was loved by the main god sense the intrusion, but all forces, regardless of camp, were preparing to welcome her.
[Phew—well? I found it by chance while I was out hunting. Pretty lucky, huh? Hehehe!]
Of course, I had no intention of answering that question.
Hans smiled sarcastically and spread his arms wide.
“...Tsk, okay. Well, it doesn’t really matter. “I’m now getting used to the restrictions of this world, so let’s finish this slowly.”
The guy must have been offended by that attitude, and the pressure emanating from his body began to rise even more.
Goooo—
Hans, it didn’t really matter, but his presence was quite a burden to the undead under his command who had been quite unreasonable.
About 1/3 of the troops had already been completely lost, unable to be revived, and most of the rest had been revived several times, putting a significant strain on them.
Even the Bone Dragon, Heratos, was so broken that it was difficult to move and was hastily reverse-summoned into his heart.
Considering that most of them were elite survivors of the Great War, they suffered greater damage than expected.
If any more losses occur, a red flag will be turned on for the survival of the ‘Army of the Immortals’—.
‘Let’s see. At this level...’
Immortal King Hans quietly assessed his opponent through the ‘Eye of the Abyss’.
The level of the thing was so high that I couldn’t get detailed information from this, but it was enough to check the general condition.
‘...Good, it’s definitely not normal. Energy recovery also decreases significantly. ‘I think I’ve accumulated quite a bit of fatigue.’
In fact, it was a natural result.
How much high-end power did they put into this guy, but is he still okay?
In addition, isn’t the damage Hans suffered in the process already greater than when he was pierced in the chest by Heinrich’s holy sword?
Of course, if we continued like this, we would eventually lose, but there was no need to do that anymore.
[You have a more impatient personality than I thought. How about we talk for a moment?]
“Ha! That’s not even funny. “Now?”
[Kkkkkkkkkk If you don’t like it, I won’t force you. Actually, I was holding on to a busy person for too long.]
It was a statement with a subtle meaning.
When I got that far, did I feel something strange?
The corners of Beoncheonhoeju’s eyes rose upward, as if he didn’t like something.
Whoosh—
And then, with a sudden strong wind, the undead and their remains scattered here and there turned into black smoke and were instantly sucked into Hans’ arms.
It was an emergency retrieval magic exclusively for the undead that only he could use, created out of necessity.
“Are you planning to run away again?”
[Running... Well?]
“I told you. “I’m going to finish my work on Earth right here. Do you think I’m going to miss it again?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange energy began to creep in and seal off the surrounding space.
It hasn’t been completed yet because of the energy of death everywhere, but if we don’t respond proactively, it’s only a matter of time before we get trapped inside.
In addition, as if they were aware of the previous ‘summon cancellation’, the degree of sealing was greater than I had imagined.
[Kkekekekeut—I think I misunderstood something.]
There was just one thing to correct.
This wasn’t a run away.
Okay, so...
I was just trying to make room for a moment since there was a backlog of customers waiting after
the “Individual Gathering” .
It was a warm consideration for busy modern people.
