LIGHTNOVELWORLD The moment the giant dragon radiating mysterious power revealed itself.
All the bodies of the Demon Army were engulfed in a green brilliance simultaneously.
Blindingly dazzling sacred light sparkled from all directions.
The demons, now the source of light, were bewildered but hurriedly tried to protect themselves.
General Kelton was no exception.
He tensed up, raising his energy to prepare for the impending shock and aftereffects.
‘…What is happening?’
What could that suddenly appeared dragon be?
Could it possibly be the work of a robot with a bizarre talisman stuck to its forehead?
According to the Great Demon’s words, it was just a bizarrely speaking sex doll robot, right?
As Kelton hesitated amidst the intertwining questions, he eventually shouted loudly.
“You fools! Charge at once!”
After all, he had many subordinates.
Even if all the demons gathered here were wiped out, it wouldn’t be a significant loss. They could just replenish them.
So regardless of what the green brilliance did to their bodies, the right course of action was to set them to attack immediately.
“For the Great Demon!”
“Kill them!”
“Uoooooh!”
The subordinates then rushed towards the target, the Pink-haired Clergy.
As the leader, she had to be eliminated first.
Although Sacred Power was the worst influence on demons, this many numbers should be able to overcome it.
Just as he thought and commanded the rushing Demon Army.
-Kwaaaah!
Suddenly, like when the robot revealed itself, a grotesque beast appeared out of nowhere in mid-air.
That wasn’t all.
On the Ground’s Bone Pile Field, monsters with menacing appearances also emerged.
Among them, a Dark Elf was mounted on the body of a six-legged beast.
‘Void Monster Tamer…’
The Dark Elf Whispering Leaf.
A formidable opponent that the Great Demon emphasized to be handled with great care.
The void monsters controlled by that one were creatures that were practically nemeses to demons.
They did not know fear, their schemes would not work on them, and their malevolent might could easily be ignored, making them not easy to confront.
“How many have gathered.”
As the Dark Elf calmly surveyed the charging demons, she finally gripped a dagger and quietly gave the command.
“Devour them all.”
At the Tamer’s command, the monsters simultaneously howled and spread out in all directions.
-Kreee!
The grotesque bird initiated the indiscriminate massacre, snatching the demon soldiers with its claws.
Tentacles from skeletal octopuses, poisonous gas from hippo-like monsters, the roots of moving giant trees, the tongues of massive poison toads.
All sorts of bizarre attacks rained down, butchering the soldiers with overwhelming force.
“Uaaah!”
“Ugh…”
“S-save me!”
Screams echoed all around.
Just seven void monsters were exhibiting overwhelming dominance against the Demon Army, which was at least ten times more in number.
At that moment, Kelton was suddenly seized by an ominous feeling.
‘Why do they all look weaker than usual?’
They were merely being overwhelmed without even putting up a fight.
Even if they held low positions, they were still subordinates of the Great Demon. They shouldn’t be so easily subdued.
Even taking into account that the enemy was a void monster, something felt off.
What kind of trick was being played?
As that doubt crossed his mind, his gaze fell upon the dragon presumed to be the cause. It was the dragon summoned by the robot earlier.
‘…That thing weakened us.’
Kelton was not as wise as his fellow general, Zirta, but his instincts were unmatched.
The instinct that had always kept him alive was telling him he needed to deal with that dragon immediately.
Quickly making a decision, he charged toward the dragon, which towered above him.
Though his subordinates were trampled in the process, it wasn’t an important matter.
“Inoom!”
Just as he charged and swung a heavy fist.
Crack!
Suddenly, his wrist twisted upwards.
An immense unseen force was suppressing his hand.
Kelton grimaced, turning to see where the blocking force was coming from.
There stood the Pink-haired Clergy, the leader of the humans trying to assassinate the Great Demon, with two swords floating in the air.
With her arms crossed, she looked up at him, smiling casually.
As he was bewildered and faltered, a slender voice came from above.
“Look at that size. It’s an enticing target.”
There was a blonde woman perched on top of the dragon, appearing out of nowhere.
Summoning a massive spear of blue light, the beautiful human declared.
“I am Zhang Yao, the ‘Dragon Paladin’!”
At those words, Kelton thought unconsciously.
‘…Should I run away?’
It was a weak judgment unfit for such a massive form.
*
-I blocked it!
“Well done, Handsome Man.”
After patting the Handsome Man who had blocked the giant’s attack with telekinesis, I spun around in place.
The battlefield had turned to hell.
A hell where only the Demon Army suffered. In other words, a scene that could almost be called paradise from our perspective.
“How is it?”
Feigning a grin, explosive reactions erupted.
[King of Carnage]: Kreee!
[Queen’s Daughter]: This is it!!
[Blasphemer]: This is exhilarating!
[Fire Inferno Poet]: An inspiration is dawning…
[Blood Firecracker]: How delightful for the Great Demon!
[Great Fool]: After causing havoc, he finally gets his education, huh? Haha!
As expected of the kind who relish in the pain and misfortune of others, the demon viewers were in a frenzy.
Given that they were slaughtering the forces of the Great Demon Rema, who had created numerous enemies, their reactions were even more explosive.
I knew this would happen.
Everything was just as our adorable AI had compiled in the data.
-Currently, 30% of the enemy forces have been eliminated. The viewer count has reached 237.
Witness reported the status in a calm tone.
-Additionally, many communities in the Demon World net are cheering. As shown in the data you have seen, the atrocities committed by the Great Demon so far made even the demons tremble in fear.
The Great Demon Rema, who wreaked havoc in Korea, had engaged in similar acts in the Demon World as well.
Assassination, kidnapping, and mental reconditioning of other great demons, daily oppression through tyranny, and various plots and schemes unfolding across the entire Demon World.
He had committed all these acts simply for his amusement and entertainment. Naturally, he would accumulate a hefty amount of enemies.
“I’m glad to see you’re satisfied.”
I smiled lightly and refocused on the battlefield.
“There’s that bitch!”
A demon giant was clashing with Yao, who was riding atop the giant Oriental dragon.
That beast’s identity was General Kelton.
According to the Demon World net, he was a demon on the verge of stepping into demigod status.
If things were normal, he would have flattened Yao with a single punch.
Right now, however, the situation was slightly different.
Yao had become stronger due to various blessings, while the general was weakened due to the card materialized by Kim Ji-yeon.
Thanks to that, Yao was engaging in an even match with the demon, who was higher in rank than her.
‘What a broken card…’
The Reverse Heaven Dragon.
The card Kim Ji-yeon confidently showcased after hearing my plan was one I could sense the imbalance of even without playing card games.
Was it that the stronger the inherent power, the more the weakness effect?
If Liam were in the same position as that dragon, he would surely become incredibly weak.
That thought amazed me anew.
Materialization of cards was indeed an outstanding technique with absurd potential. Though it took too long to charge the energy to use it frequently.
Grrr.
A bizarre sound of something flying scooped me from my reverie.
[Head Collector’s Rubbish Stone]
-Please, don’t let that giant survive!
“It seems it won’t be easy to finish off that giant since the lady specializes in spear arts,” I responded, shrugging lightly.
I was the ‘strategist demon aiming for the Great Demon’s education,’ after all. A concept of that nature.
And my companions were powerful humans kidnapped from another world.
Their overly polite speech couldn’t fit with the twisted setting.
Still, as I pushed ahead, they all accepted it.
“Head Collector, please be content with just piercing through his head.”
With that careless remark, I shifted my gaze elsewhere.
This time, my sight landed on the void monsters that were feasting and moving without a break.
Using whatever body parts they were confident in, they killed demons and occasionally indulged in eating, displaying savage movements.
It was an impressive sight as they unleashed merciless carnage upon the swarming demons.
“Looking good.”
Honestly, it wasn’t a sight I found particularly enjoyable, but I smiled to maintain the concept.
But perhaps that was too impressionable.
[Despair Addiction’s Rubbish Stones x10]
-This is truly a scary girl. I’ve decided to be more cautious of crazy people using honorifics from today!
[King of Carnage’s Usable Stones x50]
-Long time no see someone this deranged.
[Shattered Glassfield’s Useful Stones x100]
-Crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl…
“…Why is everyone acting like this? Shouldn’t demons indulge in drink while enjoying the screams and moans of those being slaughtered?”
I said, flustered, and the chat began to stir.
[King of Carnage]: Watching slaughter is good, but drinking while doing so feels off…
[Red Blood Points]: Enjoying the sight of Void Monsters slaughtering? That’s quite a peculiar taste!
[Queen’s Daughter]: Are you perhaps the Demon King?
[Evil God Hater]: What a foul creature!
[Great Fool]: Grrr!
Shock and awe.
The demon viewers recoiled altogether, exhibiting fierce reactions.
What was going on?
While I blinked in confusion over this incomprehensible situation, Witness began to share his thoughts.
-It seems there are lines and rules even among demons. The Pope likely appeared to be a more malicious demon than anyone else.
So that was it.
I thought demons would enjoy this situation to the fullest, but that wasn’t the case.
Watching the chat grow dim, I couldn’t help but raise my smirk.
“How pitiful.”
Just after expressing the most insulted curse permissible by language correction.
I commanded Ilju, who was beheading the approaching demons.
“Ilju, leave this area to the Handsome Man and come back after enjoying yourself.”
-Understood.
Ilju replied politely and instantly flew away, beheading all the demons in her flight path.
Immediately after, the headless bodies were engulfed in fiery sulfur, as if infused with the battlefield’s heat.
“Biological torches are being created.”
Feigning a pleased smile, I said, and now even the demon viewers began to fear me.
It was a good atmosphere.
“Let me say this in advance: anyone who dares intervene in my battle with the Great Demon will be thrown to the Void Monsters as prey. Mind your own safety.”
No one attempted to resist after that remark.
