95. Securing Yunin Oasis Hunting demons that become blood and flesh (5)
Yuma secretly summoned the deputy commander and the people in charge of Yunin Oasis to explain the reason and circumstances of Bappa’s death.
Naturally, they yelled at Yuma in disbelief.
“You said the commander made a contract with the demons to protect the oasis?
can not believe it!”
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. However, if we don’t let go, it looks like the entire oasis will be annihilated by Lagatino’s army.”
You bastard! Didn’t you just kill the Commander? What the hell is mine!”
“I killed it, but not just. In any case, prepare for an invasion. My past actions will explain why I killed Bappa.”
Yuma deliberately added energy to his voice and spoke as if threatening.
The situation outside was too urgent to have a long conversation that they could understand.
It took four days to get here, so Lagatineau’s army must have come closer as well.
The second-in-command and the people in charge were overwhelmed by Yuma’s bloody aura and couldn’t ask any more questions about Bappa’s death.
“Yuma-hyung and those people didn’t do well either.
It must be hard to actually feel what it’s like as a demon.”
said Ballinan, looking grimly at the Oasis directors as they turned away.
“I can’t make everyone understand when a full-scale war begins. We just have to do what we have to do.”
For a time after Bappa’s death, Yunin Oasis was overcome with grief and confusion.
Although he was deceived by the sweet lie of peace in the oasis and sold his soul to the demons, Bappa was praised by the people.
In particular, the children attending classes at the school built by Bappa lost their typical children’s vitality and only looked blank.
That is, until Ballinan puts on an artifact show for depressed children.
Baang!”
An illusion of a funny-looking dragon jumped out of Barlinan’s artifact. It was the same dragon that was used to attract the attention of the natives on Porapora Island.
As the dragon spewed out a flaming breath, the children exclaimed in admiration and chased after Ballinan.
“Whoa!”
“Show me something else!”
Most of the children quickly forgot the sorrow of losing Bappa. Children were prone to getting stained or forgetting things, and Ballinan constantly took out artifacts for entertainment.
Yuma and the others stayed at Yunin Oasis for nine days.
Originally, he would have headed directly to the Dempir Fortress via the Kuzan Royal Castle and the Central Desert Fortress, but Yunin Oasis was too defenseless to do so.
Therefore, Yuma and his party decided to wait for Rugal’s reinforcements for about ten days.
It was judged that if it was Rugal, he would have sent a special reinforcements of the SS to Yunin Oasis quickly.
Since the dead commander Baffa had not taken any military action so far, he had no choice but to be lax.
From now on, work hard to repair the fortress walls and watchtower beacons. Arrows should be sharpened and the boundaries of drinking water areas should be strengthened tenfold.”
During their stay, Randell was in charge of commanding the Yunin Oasis fortress.
In Randall’s eyes, the deputy commander and Oasis officers didn’t know how to do anything.
“Are these guys really soldiers? These guys don’t even know how to make a fortress defense formation? Everyone is crazy to have entrusted the safety of the people to these guys.”
Randell lamented the discipline of the Oasis army and ran around the fortress day and night in place of Baffa.
An unprecedentedly busy time has come to the secluded and peaceful Yunin Oasis.
In the meantime, Yuma and Rakir devoted themselves to training in the underworld.
[Master! Even if the northern dregs you ate last time weren’t thick and famous, the high quality is the high quality. Can you feel the energy in your body in the underworld? Hahaha!]
Rakir waggled his tail and flew around Yuma, who was sitting upright.
These days, Yuma got into the habit of meditating like this before going to the underworld through Marilace. It is helpful to see the terrible magic of the bastard in the world to refine the spirit properly.
[Chehehehe! When I think of my lord’s underworld body gaining weight, this Rakir is so happy that I can’t stop laughing
. Let’s go to the underworld now!]
After sending her consciousness to the underworld, Yuma definitely felt that her body in the underworld was different from before.
It was on a different level than when absorbing low-level demon possessors or monsters like Amulla. The bones went beyond hardening a little and, just as Rakir had said, they were starting to gain weight.
No matter how crappy he was, a high-level demon was a high-level demon.
Even though there was only a little of it that could be called thin leather, Yuma felt like he had truly evolved.
Now you don’t have to feel the empty sensation of the cold wind from the underworld passing between your ribs.
With that in mind, Yuma was approaching with pleasure as if he were approaching the confrontation with Rakir that was about to begin.
[Oh Rakir. My senses are much more sensitive than when I only had bones.
Besides…]
Unuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
When Yuma opened his palm, a black aura the size of a plum gathered on top of it.
Looking at that small grain-like black aura reminded Yuma of the terrible past.
[Hmm?]
Yuma, who was watching the black aura on his palm, tilted his head as if something was strange.
[Rakir. to come to this It’s small in size… but somehow it feels different from the existing black auras I’ve known. What is it?]
Yuma raised her head towards Rakir and said.
The eyeballs had not yet formed at all. Empty eyelids stood out between the skin.
In the past, Rakir said that ‘Eye of the Demon King’ is special, so it may take some time.
[Ah, that’s because the master’s aura is ‘the power of the source.’]
[The power of the source?]
[Yes. It is a particularly powerful aura that can only be used by demons and demon lords.
It is a power that other demons cannot use no matter how high the hierarchy is.]
Rakir explained that the black aura containing the ‘power of the source’ has more than ten times more destructive power than normal black auras.
There was no apparent difference from the black aura. However, most of the demons were able to recognize at once if they were the original type or not.
[I can see why you are expecting me. Even if the same magic is used, if it is cast ten times stronger, normal demons will not be able to defeat demons of the demon lord class no matter how much they use dragons.] [That’s right,
my lord. However, sometimes there are mutant or normal demons that are incomprehensibly strong. Lord, you have to be careful of them.]
[Even if I get the full power of the demon king later, I have to be careful?] [
Example: A guy like ‘Haider’, an idiot from the eastern part of the Ming world, is a representative…. Acquisition of the throne of a demon god It’s best not to run into them unconditionally before doing so.]
[Haider? Are you a bitch?]
[It’s a demon who lived less than 2,000 years, and I’ve killed two demon kings in the meantime. In some ways, he is much more dangerous than the other demon kings. Don’t worry too much, I’ll make sure we don’t run into each other.] If
you say that, we’ll meet someday. Thinking so, Yuma imagined a demon called Haider.
And at the same time, it was also embarrassing.
[No, didn’t the demons have no business in front of the authority? How was he able to kill the Demon King?
And if you killed the demon king, you should be the demon king yourself. Why do you remain as a normal demon?]
[You don’t have to think hard.
Isn’t your lord also such a great genius that it’s hard to find a mate among the unmanned people of the human world? The same goes for Haider. They are only geniusly strong among demons.]
Concepts like ‘genius’ and ‘speciality’ were not necessarily limited to humans.
Yuma nodded in agreement and told Rakir to start fighting.
‘원류의 힘이라…. 저 개새끼 를 찢어발겨 그간 명계에서 겪은 고초와 수모를 되갚아 줄 날이 좀 더 앞당겨지겠어.’
Kooooo!
Again, Rakir started sparring with breath-type magic, and Yuma tried to defend himself using the black aura gathered on his palm.
[Kaaah!]
But no matter how long the power of the origin is, the gap between Rakir was still difficult.
Besides, whereas before, I only had to suffer the pain of breaking, cracking, and burning my bones, this time I had to go through the entire burning of my thin skin.
Until the sparring was over, Yuma couldn’t rest for a moment and had to scream.
‘Damn it! Advanced Demons I need to eat more advanced Demons!’
Rakir secretly threw out these words as if he knew all about Yuma’s thoughts.
[My lord, if you want to get stronger quickly…
You don’t have to eat only demons. If you absorb even a strong human, they all become the master’s blood and flesh.]
[You don’t know that you want me to swallow humans too, so you roll me into this shape? This cheap dung dog. Where are you trying to get on the top of the lord?]
Yuma didn’t want to absorb humans who weren’t possessed under any circumstances. If you kill them, you kill them, but you don’t want to tie their souls to Aryeola.
Unless you’re a Hayes Rollmandi-class villain.
Rakir just licked his lips and let out a stronger breath.
“Heh heh heh heh…
After nine days passed like that, as expected by Yuma and the others, Rugal’s direct personal guard found Yunin Oasis.
There was no way that Rugal and his soldiers could not grasp the key points of the central front that even Prince Illen or Yuma’s party could recognize at once.
“Did reinforcements go to Kuzan Royal Castle and the central fortress Dempir?”
Randall asked the leader of the SS.
The SS were ordered to treat Yuma and the others with respect. Also, since Randall is highly respected among the world’s military men, it was natural for the leader to bow his head and answer yes.
“Yes… Huh?”
“Oh, you came to support. I never thought we would meet again here.”
Yuma recognized the SS leader and waved his hand.
He was the captain of the Blue Sword who was beaten by Yuma at the Eltainer Inn.
“Meet Yuma Daiin! At that time, I couldn’t help but be rude to the great people. Please kindly forgive me.”
Rugal had given Yuma the same level of authority as himself to lead the bodyguards.
Up until just a few months ago, they had been fighting back and forth, but now the relationship was clear.
“Until I forgive you. At that time, I was also sorry. Was there anything unusual on the way?”
“Yes man. But…
When the captain noticed, Yuma bit the people around him.
“Tell me.”
“After Daein left, His Majesty’s health rapidly deteriorated.
Sometimes the body twists and turns to the point of repeating itself.”
It must be because of the influence of Hwa. Yuma guessed the cause of Rugal’s weakness and touched his chin.
“Okay. Anyway, now you guys take charge of Yunin Oasis. We have to leave right away tomorrow.
Will additional reinforcements come again?”
“That’s right. More support will come from the Red Sword. And we are in the process of sending troops sequentially to key areas throughout the east.”
“Then we just need to go ahead and secure the other three forts.”
Yuma nodded and said.
