Chapter 868
Chapter 216. The first golden box (4)
There were a total of five rifts formed near the former capital of the empire. If one major rift and four small and medium sized rifts had been identified in advance, rift removal experts would have been dispatched without fail.
Besides, what about the number of demons escaping from the rift?
Only the ones that came out of the first small rift that opened have already exceeded 1,000. Forts and fortresses of the Jin Demon World were formed all over the mountain range, and close to a dozen ships floated in the sky.
No matter how strong the defense power of the capital was, it was inevitable to be damaged by such a surprise attack that deviated from common sense. Even if Dante and other supermen and imperial knights sortied right away, it was impossible to subdue them without any damage.
However, the Bamal Alliance’s technology was making the impossible possible.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Quaul let out a hearty laugh. Today was the happiest day since he lived his whole life as an engineer. Reed and Casimir let out a sigh of relief as they heard his laughter over the communicator.
“I have to focus on the battle for now, so I’ll stop communicating here. Report and upload after the situation is over!”
{Okay, Dr. Quawl. But just in case you don’t know, I’ll have the little princess and Mort on standby.}
“Okay, butler Leed! I’ll communicate with you again if someone I can’t handle appears. It’s not going to happen, but hahaha!”
More than 90% of the demons who had already escaped from the first rift disappeared without a trace with just one shot from the ship’s gun.
The five summoned fortresses were also destroyed before showing anything, and only one or two ships of the Jinma world remained.
It wasn’t even at full output. Quaul’s eyes widened as he glared at the cracks that would become his next targets.
“…Does this really mean destructive power that can be obtained purely with technology without superhuman power?”
Dante had no time to rage at the surprise attack.
At first, it reminded me of the nightmare of the diphus and I was worried about what would happen if the people were slaughtered again, but seeing the power of the golden box, I was just speechless.
“That’s right, Black Emperor!”
[It’s not just pure technology, Dr. Quaul. Did you forget that my power and brother’s energy are strengthening the storm ship
?
[Well that’s right. The atmosphere is about to open another rift over there. I have to hurry up and scold you.]
“Raise the output! This time it’s 60%!”
“yes!”
The turkey crew responded to Quawl’s command.
Currently, there was only one person on the ship that could be called a superman, Dante. The rest are all non-combatants, and Dante never added his aura to the power source.
As the Jin and Barmal alliance have longed for, the object that can produce transcendental power with only ‘ordinary people’ has finally been completed.
Although Quaul was in charge of the captain, similar knowledge was not required to operate the ship.
Whoa…!
The golden ship’s power was making a loud, yet heavy noise. Quawl and the crew felt a shudder run down their backs at the noise, like the roar of a huge beast.
And facing the sound, the demons of the realm of demons who had just been summoned to the ground had to be terrified.
“This… this is what it is. Mr. Grein, didn’t the demons of the 17th castle just annihilate in one attack from that ship…? Monte-sama is also confirmed to have been killed in action.”
Grein couldn’t answer the words of a demon soldier and looked at the golden ship and the area where the bombardment fell. Grein was one of the generals of the Jinma Realm, and he was the one who spearheaded this surprise disturbance operation.
The same goes for Monte, who just died. Two more generals and troops were to be summoned from the remaining small and medium rifts.
Tsuaaaaaa!
The brain enveloping the golden box was distorting the space nearby. Grein was recalling the terrible old legends passed down from the golden box to the Pandemonium.
‘Airborne fortresses that were operated by the Myungwang family… did such a thing exist on the ground?’
Grein hadn’t experienced that period himself. But whether or not that monstrous ship was better than a flying fort, one thing was certain.
It was true that the generals and their subordinates did not have the power to suppress that ship.
“Scatter… scatter!”
“yes?”
“This means that all forces are dispersing! The disturbance mission is a failure. We have to survive somehow until Beacon-nim is summoned.”
do!
Grein couldn’t say the two letters together.
It was because his eyes suddenly became bright. The second bombardment of the golden ship annihilated Grain and about 2,000 demons like that. Most of them couldn’t even recognize the moment they died. It was over after the feeling of a flash of light for a moment passed.
“…I can see why Jin so desperately wanted gold. I feel fortunate that the fact that Jin and Bamal’s union has this technology is just fortunate. If technology develops further, the day may come when knights like us are no longer needed.”
Dante trembled as he remembered what it would have been like if the one with the golden chest was a Zifle or Kingelo, or an enemy or a Jinma.
“Whooping sword. Even if this golden ship begins to be mass-produced, superhumans like you are absolutely necessary. After all, there is a limit to deterring such madmen with only these things. The one who will be able to get out of the Greater Rift might have a little bit of trouble with the power of the golden box. At that time, the emperor will step in.”
The third crack opened was also closed by a single shot from the ship’s guns.
If the demons were just ordinary people dragged into a war they didn’t want, it would have been uncomfortable. Thousands of thousands of lives were lost with each shelling.
However, there was no such person among the demons. In the first place, Ameris analyzed the rift and said that Jito’s summoning magic was possible thanks to his tremendous authority, but the summoned person’s strong desire was also necessary.
Only demons obsessed with the desire to engulf all humans in pain and devour the earth could use that summoning circle.
Now was not the time to be merciful to such people. It was time to mercilessly wipe out those who threatened the lives of the people and the peace of the Barmal Union.
“Of course.”
There are now two medium rifts and one great rift.
It was only 5 minutes after the battle started. The surviving demons were gnashing their teeth while looking up at the gold box.
No matter how strong that ship is, it will be inevitable if Beacon is summoned in the end…
The demons had such expectations. The moment the beacon is summoned from the Great Rift, the war will turn over at once, and the former capital of the Empire will be filled with human screams and sighs.
The third and fourth intermediate cracks were completed simultaneously.
Right before they were summoned, they confirmed how the preceding demons had disappeared, so they prepared to disperse at the same time as the summoning.
‘There is only one gun after all. Whichever side is attacked first, the other side spreads out and tries to infiltrate…!’
The newly summoned generals made such a judgment. They say that if one side is used as a scapegoat and dispersed and endured for a little while, they will be able to push forward with the support of Beacon.
“A 10% output, but it splits into two and strikes both cracks at the same time.”
However, as soon as Kwaul’s order was given, the cannons of the golden ship split in two.
“Child crazy!”
“Why are you sharing!? Hit that side, that side!”
Each of the divided guns was aimed precisely at the newly formed rift.
“It’s a little disappointing to use all 100% of your output against guys who aren’t even superhuman, but good luck!”
Soon after, Quawl pressed a button, and the ship’s guns, which were split into two, fired a blue barrage. It was already a well-confirmed fact that only 50% output could remove the cracks of the generals.
Just like that, the two generals and their elite troops disappeared. The same was true of the fortress and fortress fleets that were summoned by several.
Truly a win.
At this point, the hearts of the remnants who were only looking at the beacon could not help but be shaken. How can you really do that when Beacon comes out? Such anxiety pierced the inside of the remnants like an awl.
Dante had similar thoughts.
“…do I really need to step out? It seems that there will be a twist for the demons only when a superhuman like me comes out.”
“That’s what I mean. There’s nothing special about Jinma Eggs.”
“It seems right to say that gold is too destructive.”
Beacon and his men finally got out of the Great Rift. Of course, there were troops of a different scale than those summoned so far.
A force estimated at least 10,000, a hundred ships, and one demon enough for Dante to carefully examine.
As soon as Beacon appeared, he showed off his power by spraying demonic energy all over the place.
“This body is Beacon Laudio, the general of the Jin Demon Realm. I have come to earth to convey Jito-sama’s orders, so humans should listen with a solemn heart.”
“What are you talking about? You’re a friend who doesn’t understand the situation. Guys, show me a taste of full power.”
The gun barrels, which merged into one again, unleashed a huge blow as if splitting the sky in half. For a moment, the heavens and earth vibrated, and the Magi spread by the beacon formed a protective shield.
The guns couldn’t penetrate his shield. Beacon became the first demon to withstand the bombardment of the Golden Ship.
“Oh, as expected, Beacon-sama…!”
“Beacon! Please avenge me!”
The beacon was summoned in a similar way to the first one, standing tall on top of its own castle wall.
I was perplexed. Thanks to the protective shield, there was not a single scratch, but if this kind of attack continued, it seemed that there would be no answer.
‘…I’m sure there wasn’t anything like this among the royal ships delivered before the invasion? what is this. I can’t believe I can fire a gun like this again, right?’
However, the output of the golden ship remained intact. The power of Gram, the god of thunder, and Faytel, the storm god, would not run out after a few bombardments.
“Come on, let’s shoot one more shot and send them back to hell. From what I see, I think the sword emperor can just look around and go back today.”
Quaul grinned and gave the order to raise the output again.
In the end, the beacon, which had been expected by all the demons summoned to the empire, was annihilated by the fourth bombardment, leaving a scream of despair. All of the demonic cities summoned with him were in ruins.
And Jin, watching the Advent of the Seongguk, was informed of the whole situation and smiled with a satisfied smile.
“Before I met Ayula, I was worried that I should move, but both the Hufester and the Empire seem to have been neatly organized.”
