47. A warrior faces death (5)
“For difficult matters, ask Yulgeum. “I’m in charge of swordsmanship.”
“If you ask Yulgeum, you’ll get scolded. If I am, then so be it! “I’m going to hit you on the head.”
“You’re scared, Yulgeum.”
“Yep. “When I open my eyes like this, my body starts shaking.”
“Still,
he’s being harsh for your sake. “He is such a great person that it is difficult to even approach him.”
“know. “He’s the god of dragons, right?”
“okay.”
At this moment, Regin thought of the war in the demon world.
I am Leo Paladin. Although the camaraderie was not strong, it was true that I was worried.
Fortunately, the absolute strongest players on both sides were absent from the war.
As long as there is no devil, humans will not suffer devastating damage. On the other
hand, all the ace cards were missing from this side as well.
The dragons will serve as a counterweight, so the war may not be over yet.
Or maybe Cadenza decided to retreat. It looks like his complicated feelings are revealed on his face.
Migo patted Regin’s head.
“Don’t be sick, don’t be sick!”
“Don’t treat me like a child.”
“Hehe, then the second round begins! “You have to avoid it!”
Migo clenched his fist and widened his stand. Regin raised his shield and aimed it at Migo.
In an instant, Migo’s appearance disappeared. Suddenly this thought occurred to me.
In terms of the level of a warrior, what level is Migo now?
The answer was already there. In terms of combat power alone, it far surpassed Class D.
It was not a strength that a 10-year-old girl could have achieved.
‘What on earth is God trying to do?’
Regin doubted God for the first time
. I soon quit out of fear.
“What on earth was God thinking when he created the world like this?”
Deus grumbled.
“Is this blasphemy again?”
“Do you look like you don’t swear? “Why are those damned messengers of purgatory clinging to us because they have something to eat?”
“The dead are trying to escape out of purgatory. Would you just let them?”
“Why not make it impossible to do that in the first place? “Why are you blocking it when you can do it?”
“That… the Lord must have something in mind.”
“Do you have any thoughts? “If you had it, would you drive a wedge between humans and demons and make them fight?”
“You
mean, “omnipotent?” Then, it would be better to purify the mugwort and let it live in a large area of land. The continent of Jose is just a small piece of land with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers. On the other hand, the land contaminated with mugwort is hundreds or even tens of times that much.”
“They said this star was a sphere with a diameter of 13,000 kilometers.”
“Did Yulgeum tell you?”
“You heard it too, Deus.”
“I don’t know, that kind of thing. Anyway, if you can’t eliminate the mugwort’s poison, you’re not omnipotent. I guess I can do it. Then why don’t you do it? “You drove humans and demons into a small piece of land and made them fight against each other.”
“It doesn’t make sense to get too directly involved.”
“The body is frozen and turned upside down. “Then what are the angels who take off their pants and come out openly?”
“I guess that’s allowed.”
“Dragons make fools.”
“I also never thought that Yulgeum would betray and join the humans.”
“She’s a poor kid too. How out of shape are you? “I’d rather become an enemy or not. What is betrayal? Betrayal.”
Zeke grinned.
“Why are you smiling?”
“Still, Deus-sama takes Yulgeum-nim’s side. “After all, we were on a date!”
“You’re noisy, man. We obviously know each other’s situation, but we can’t criticize each other one-sidedly.
Of course, what I said like this is a secret.”
“yep. “I will hide it in my infinitely light mouth.”
“I won’t save you.”
“I have a problem too. “It just takes a little longer to find your way, but you can survive on your own.”
“In the past 10 years, my procrastination has only increased. “I think you were cuter before.”
“Haha, is that so?”
“When I go back, I have to destroy the angels first. “How long do you think we’ll watch you pretend to show off while floating
in the sky of the demon world ?”
“No matter how many years or months you spend here, when you return to the human world, almost no time has passed, right?”
“huh. that’s right. “The flow of time is different in the Underworld and the Demon World.”
“That’s a good thing. “Now that Signi has given birth to the Demon King’s child, she will be called more of a witch than a witch.”
“I’m really sorry about that. “You are someone who has lived for the reputation of the Hollybitch family, but you have suffered all kinds of notoriety.”
“are you okay. Because there is Regin. Leo
became Paladin.”
“He’s a little obsessed with his older sister, so he’s more dangerous than you.”
“For Regin, Signy is more like a mother than an older sister. It was Signy who took care of Regin from the time he started talking. “I raised him even by changing diapers.”
“Did you go out to work?”
“Yes.”
“Good job, warrior.”
“Don’t make fun of me.”
“I’m more than half serious. “Then shall we go again?”
Deus stood up.
It was less so when he moved with SIGNI, but because Zeke is so big, the underworld’s reaction is extremely violent.
After fighting and fighting like crazy, I was barely able to get over one block.
Still, thanks to this, the combat ability itself was improving considerably.
From how to use the Shinigami Beast to combat techniques that I knew from the beginning.
But those two couldn’t even imagine it.
The time spent in the underworld
was longer than expected… and
time passes at the same speed in reality.
The war between the demon world and the human world did not end even after a year.
The human army, which had once approached the magic island of Eidos, retreated back to the red hills.
The war situation itself was not favorable to humans.
Although he was said to have the angel’s protection, he lost the ace card called Regin, so
it was impossible to deliver a crushing blow to the demon world.
Fortunately, the dragons were able to maintain the front line and dominate the air superiority, creating the momentum to retreat.
Moreover, since they were able to continuously receive supplies from the human kingdom, their morale did not drop much.
Rather, it was the demons who were now facing a bigger problem.
The Demon King has disappeared.
When the Demon King first returned to the Demon World and annihilated the human army, the Demon World was filled with excitement.
He destroyed more than 200,000 enemy soldiers in a single battle. The battle was closer to pleasure.
But that one time was all.
The Demon King disappeared and did not return to the Demon World for over a year.
It made me wonder if he had died somewhere.
The next demon king also disappeared along with Signi.
Just losing one’s mental focus was not an ordinary problem, but another incident occurred.
As the war dragged on, the demons who guarded the border
were conscripted to the Red Hills.
In the past, when the border between mugwort and mugwort was clear, border defense was limited to patrols.
But not now. Terrible beasts appeared through holes here and there.
If a carnivorous monster appeared, a small village would be devastated.
As borders dispersed, territory shrank and food production plummeted.
The border of mugwort is near the outskirts of the Joseon continent, so it receives relatively much sunlight.
Because the granary area of the Demon World was located along the border of mugwort, cultivation was now almost impossible.
Food shortages and repeated defeats. Plus the absence of the Demon King.
For now, morale was maintained due to the fear of death, but it was unclear how long they could hold out.
“What about the eastern front?”
In response to Crater Ifrit’s question, Kyo-Oki Alex slowly shook his head.
“What more can I say?”
“It looks miserable.”
“The bodies of Imae and Mangryang are what hit my feet
.”
The crater hit the table with his fist.
“If it weren’t for the dragons, our flame spirits would have shown greater power!” The Flame Spirit and the Fire Jin were races that served the Crater. Although their individual strength was not that strong, they had good mobility because they could fly.
However, the sky of the Demon World has been completely taken over by dragons.
Alex clenched his chin and recalled a year ago.
The lord left himself and Lakhe and
returned to the demon world alone.
And right after, Yulgeum came and took Zeke away.
It looks like the two had a fight around that time… but the problem came next. The whereabouts of the two were unknown.
It was clear that he had chased after Signy, but there was no contact whatsoever about what happened after that.
Alex was pulled out of his thoughts by the Gluttonous Daroche raising his voice.
“It’s still worth holding on to now, but as time goes by, it’s at a disadvantage! Food
production is decreasing day by day… If five years go by like this, won’t the Zero Generation warriors appear on the battlefield?”
The expressions on the faces of all seven dukes became somber when they heard the words “Generation Zero.”
Generation Zero is stronger than any other generation.
Those who are currently struggling are mostly 4th generation and sometimes 3rd generation warriors.
Even though they had the blessings of angels, they were on average a bit worse off than Generation Zero.
Even now, there is a stalemate, and if Generation Zero is sent into battle, there will be no outcome other than defeat.
What if even the last person appears there?
It was terrifying to even imagine. Even if all seven dukes attacked him, he was not an opponent he could defeat.
Shantrina sighed.
“If it is God’s will for us to sit like this and be annihilated… then we have no choice but to follow.” Alex opened the rhyme carefully.
“How about abandoning the Demon World and going somewhere else?”
“You mean the land of mugwort?”
“exactly.”
Shantrina burst out laughing.
“It looks like you went around with Lord Kyo-O-gong and caught his illness.”
“You’re going too far with what you’re saying.”
“If not, why do you say that? “It’s not like we have the freedom to do that.”
Alex curled his tail.
“I did this out of frustration. What do we have left now? The Demon King has disappeared, and there is no more left for the next Demon King. “Without the Demon King , aren’t
we just friends?”
“Then you have to accept it. The seven of us are just the seven beasts liberated by the first Lucifer. “After all these years of receiving so much undeserved grace, do you still have any greed left?”
“Do you mean destruction?”
“If that is God’s will, I will gladly accept it.”
Osis the Greeder said.
“Let’s leave the future to the future. For now, we have to do our part. The dwarves are thinking of hiring mercenaries. What do
you think? “If it’s money, you can pay it back later.”
All the other demons agreed upon hearing that he was a dwarf mercenary.
The closest place to Mado was the Kingdom of Tiphareth.
Because the dukes were unable to leave, Marquis Senul of the Flame Spirit headed to the dwarf kingdom with a letter from the demons.
This decision became the first step in future events.
1 year ago.
When Zeke left underground to rescue Signy, Zeke’s colleagues who had been living in Neuekan created a temporary residence in the Kingdom of Tiparet.
Terriyan, the leader of Helios’ army, and the knights called the Ten and Ten.
And Sadimus, Nezar, and others had been staying underground for over a year along with thousands of Neuekan residents.
Even Lakke, who had missed Zeke’s whereabouts and returned empty-handed, joined them and everyone adjusted to life underground while waiting for Zeke.
At first, they felt difficult living underground, but with the help of the dwarves, they were now building their own underground civilization.
But cracks began to appear in that peace.
The beginning and end of all problems was, of course, Nezar.
