Chapter 518 The unofficial corps commander
The land of demons where humans have stopped walking.
An ecosystem made up of monsters unfolded and the environment transformed into demons welcomed me.
There was also a pond that emitted a nasty stench, and bizarre-looking monsters and demons also stuck their mouths out.
– Kwajijijik!
“Ghaaaagh!”
“Kyarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
didn’t reach me
Monsters that split apart and rolled on the ground every time they swung their swords. Those with tough vitality set off fire bombs to keep them warm.
I don’t know how many today. They say they are like jingling guys.
“I didn’t know that I wouldn’t run into any warlocks or demons, even if it was monsters.”
It’s the 3rd day since we headed to our destination.
I thought we’d run into each other at least once, but I can’t seem to get my nose out. They said they were gathering in one place, but did they all come together already?
Then it’s faster than what the Church and the Magic Tower figured out.
Tsk. I clicked my tongue slightly. The first thing I saw was the demons who were cooperating with the collapsed magic tower.
“These guys are great too.”
“To that.”
A group of magic chasing demons. The collapsed magic tower.
Ironically, there are demons who cooperate with them. I don’t know how they came together or why demons help people.
It’s a very old thing, and it’s also something that can’t be said carelessly now.
However, what is certain is that the collapsed Mage Tower possesses such knowledge and technology that even the church can admire it when it comes to demons because of this secret.
Hagiya The demon himself teaches you how to deal with the demons and techniques, so progress can’t be slow.
“Now, that part might hold back my ankles.”
As the world was destroyed and the demons appeared as enemies in earnest, the vigilance and anger against the demons increased.
In a situation like this, if you say that you are receiving help from demons, it will be a big blow. Whatever your intentions, you will be branded a traitor.
It is also the reason why I did not move with Bekal.
That’s it.
“How did you guys know? Demons are gathering here.”
This part is questionable.
The content would be highly confidential. It’s something I wouldn’t have known if Shile hadn’t told it to me.
Since he is also one of the candidates for the hero, did the empire or church give out information?
It’s a very probable story. I heard that the church is doing quite a bit of publicity since the sword he’s using is a holy sword.
We’ll meet again when we’re meant to be.
“You are almost there.”
desolate space. Until now, it was a place full of monsters, but there is nothing here.
Maybe the monsters aren’t full because there’s nothing to eat? That’s not going to happen. Because they have such strong vitality, there are quite a few types that live well even in barren places.
It’s probably because the demons who live there have organized the surroundings.
-Saaaaa
where the dry wind blows. One windmill standing tall in the wasteland.
In the past, this place was also called agricultural land. I heard that the windmill was renovated and used as a branch, but seeing the real thing is just amazing.
“To that.”
“Oh, I know. I can feel the magic.”
He nodded at Deokchun’s warning.
It’s faint, but I can feel the magic. It looks like the sneaky approach is trying to see if I’m dangerous.
“Come on, Pavant. It is said to be Evil Eye from the collapsed Mage Tower.”
Before misunderstanding, I revealed my identity.
No matter what, I’m in a position where I need help from him.
Hearing my voice, Maggie backed away and a man appeared from the windmill.
Plain cotton pants and a vest. A bit of an old fedora. From the outside, it seemed like an ordinary villager.
“At the collapsed magic tower? What a big deal. It’s been a long time since we lost contact.”
The vertically slit pupils and the horns growing along the side of his head proved that he was a demon.
According to Shile, he once rose to the position of deputy corps commander. I don’t know why a guy like that is doing this.
“It’s not a lie, is it?”
“If you’re going to be so suspicious, why did you show up? It would have been better if I had just kept my mouth shut.”
“Ahahaha! That too. come in Being alone made me suspicious.”
After bursting into laughter, he flicks his hand and goes inside the windmill.
Like demons usually do, this guy seems to have a selfish part.
Upon entering, there was a well-decorated space.
“Have some tea. These days, circumstances are bad, so there are only these, but they are worth eating.”
After brewing tea from a dried plant that must have been picked nearby, Pavant sits in a chair.
The creaking of the wooden chair seems quite worn, but that’s not the point.
“I heard that demons are gathering.”
“You know that. damn i figured it out How did you know?”
“Well, I don’t know because I only heard about it at the Mage Tower.”
He sipped his tea and slurred his words.
They claim to help, but the opponent is a demon. In particular, it is said that they lost contact with them when they invaded from the demon realm. No one knows what might have happened in the meantime.
There is a possibility that he ended his relationship with the Magic Tower and became one with other demons.
Even at this moment, I am widening my senses and looking for any suspicious movements or signs. I didn’t forget to use authority.
[Pavant]
– A traitor to the 5th Demon Realm.
-I even rose to the position of vice-commander of the 7th corps!
– There are even rumors that he was stronger than the corps commander at the time!
-I signed a contract with the owner of the Mage Tower that collapsed 500 years ago.
– The end of the contract is approaching.
Was it because of the contract that helped the Magic Tower? That’s why you need to be careful with contracts.
I don’t think there’s anything special yet, but the last explanation takes a little bit.
No matter how strong a contract is, it can’t last forever. The end existed, and Pavant, who had been in a contractual relationship for as many as 500 years, could soon be free.
How will he come out later? Just as he told the Magic Tower about the demons, it was possible to leak information related to the demons to the demons.
Let’s find out more.
[The SSS-class powerful star-watching eyes are displayed!]
-Zuzuzuzu!
Powers are strengthened and more specific information is revealed. The stinging in the eyes wasn’t a very pleasant feeling, but it was tolerable.
“hmm.”
[Time remaining until the end of the contract: 78 hours]
I could see that there really wasn’t much time.
About 3 days left. Should I say this is good or bad?
“Is there anything regrettable about the collapsed magic tower?”
“hmm? What are you talking about out of the blue? Did you have a drink on the way?”
I asked, but he nodded his head, but there was no response.
Rather, he looked at me with pitiful eyes and opened the scroll that was under the table.
it’s a map The lines on the map are messy, as if it had been modified several times. It’s hard to find out unless you’re the author.
“It’s a bit dirty, but you’ll get used to it after seeing it, so let’s proceed. First, there are three places where they are presumed to have gathered. I haven’t measured it in detail yet because I don’t want to get caught wandering around, but…”
Pavant continues his explanation.
It seems that he was faithful to his role even after losing contact with the Magic Tower. Seeing the map along with the explanation makes some sense.
Is this why I said Shile would help?
“…the distance is short. It will be possible to investigate within 2 days at the earliest and 5 days at the latest. It’s up to you to decide what to do next. Any questions?”
It’s a question.
I got the information I wanted. Whether that information is true or not, how to use it is my ability, as he said.
So is it?
“Why are you helping the Magic Tower?”
I didn’t know that such a question came up.
“It’s because demons don’t forget grudges.”
A ghostly spirit rose from the eyes of the sub, who had been silent for a while.
* * *
Navigation was not difficult.
There was no particular threat in the area, and there was no trouble because the warlocks and demons were strangely calm.
After measuring faster than expected, I was able to figure out where they had gathered.
“It’s buzzing.”
“It is a rare case. It’s hard to control, so I avoid living in groups of that size as much as possible.”
I could see the demons clustered in the plain beyond the hills.
At first glance, it seems to be over a thousand units. It looks like you have some skills. At least not the stupid ones.
In a way, it’s a golden opportunity to strike out. The problem is that the only forces here are me and two subs.
Just in case, I told the members of the community about the approximate location of this place.
Both Nyangpun and Licking are centered around the Empire, so if you’re in a hurry, you might be able to contact Shile.
In the case of the hair loss man, it seems that he is coming here directly.
‘It will take some time to arrive, but.’
It’s only been a day since I came here. It’s a bit disconcerting to find out where they’re gathered in one day, but don’t overcomplicate it.
scouting first. Knowing their location is enough. In addition, it would be better to find out the purpose of gathering here, but the priority is low.
At that size, it takes time to move. It’s best to spread the news before that, gather all your strength, and wipe it out at once.
Maybe I’ll finish Chapter 3 faster than I thought.
‘I’ve never thought like this and it went well.’
This guy’s tower always gave me situations that exceeded my expectations. Carelessness is prohibited.
Hiding in the bushes, I watched them do it. There is no waterside, but there is fog and visibility is not good.
“Do you know what you are doing? He said he had risen to the position of deputy corps commander.”
“It’s a story from so long ago. I can’t figure out anything just by looking at it now. You have to do something, even guess.”
That’s right. It’s mind-reading if you can tell what they’re trying to do by looking at those guys standing there.
It would be nice if we could find out their purpose through Herelda’s prophecy, but unfortunately, that’s all we found out about them gathering here.
“I’m curious, what corps did you belong to?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“It’s old, but you probably don’t know about the corps commanders over there. A lot of corps commanders have died over there now. I wanted to know something I want to know how many corps commanders are left.”
Currently, there is a vacancy in the corps commander’s position in the 5 Demon Realms.
The commanders of the 1st and 3rd corps who died by my hand. The 2nd corps commander who was killed by a hero candidate. The commander of the 5th corps, who is said to have been dealt with by Oh Ji-hyeok.
There are no known corps commanders after that. I don’t even know if a new corps commander has risen in the place of the dead guys.
It is not known exactly how many corps commanders are left with them.
After thinking about it for a while, Pavant opened his mouth.
“There are six corps commanders who officially exist. Now, there are only two commanders left: Mavanatha, commander of the 4th corps, and Garnet Ziblar, commander of the 6th corps.”
“What if it’s an officially existing corps commander?”
That means that there are corps commanders that don’t officially exist.
“Commander of the 7th Corps. The Demon King’s bodyguards that don’t officially exist. The head of those who are in charge of secret affairs for each corps commander.”
far away I heard him grinding his teeth.
“Dzeko Marlin. There is a traitor king with ten thousand faces. He was also my boss in the past.”
This name is great. You are the king of traitors.
Looking at the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like a very good relationship. I was talking about him like I was chewing and spitting out a lot of stuff, but what should I say?
‘A guy who disguises himself as the other person’s most important person and finds out everything.’
Is he some kind of doppelganger? Looking at it, it seems that he enjoys the way he became a henchman with a new identity and then beat him.
Maybe this guy has been through something similar. It’s just an expectation, but judging from the reaction, I wondered if that would be the case.
At some point, Pavant shuts up. I was too embarrassed to ask more, so I also kept silent.
“They are moving.”
Shortly thereafter, the demons started moving.
