Chapter 134 - The Birth of the Legion – 2 (1/2)
The Birth of the Legion – 2
“This is the only saint underground.”
“It’s funny, it’s funny!”
“Are there only such insignificant things?”
The walls installed outside of the main fortification weren’t very solid from the get-go. They weren’t built for defense, but rather to separate areas. As expected, the walls quickly collapsed, and the monsters that had been defending them lost their lives helplessly against the demon’s momentum. But that was all according to plan.
[Kohohohohoh!]
Among the monsters incorporated into this area during the dungeon hunt, those placed at the forefront were the weak ones that couldn’t exceed level 150. In the first collision, the casualties were already numbering in the thousands, and that number only grew as the enemies’ offensive was pushing through the collapsed wall.
[You’re finally here.]
[Eat them all. Take the last name.]
[The time of rebellion has come.]
That annoying voice from last time once again haunted me, robbing the reasoning of everyone on the battlefield.
“Weak!”
“Coward! How long will you hide?!”
The temporary walls were torn down everywhere, and even though they knew their fate, the monsters rushed toward the enemy in front of them. The demons bathed themselves in blood under the black moonlight, keeping up their mad charge towards the fortress at the center of the realm.
[There are too many enemies. They’re stronger this time, too.]
“I thought it would hold out a little more.”
“It’s a necessary process.” I spoke firmly and exercised my strength over the whole area. Those who lost their lives were pulled into the ground so the enemy couldn’t take their bodies or mana.
“It’s the leader!”
“This power is too weird…!”
Devil’s Night was a night for the most primitive and ignorant way of evolution to take place. As the enemy consumed the fallen and became stronger, your dead allies became more dangerous than your living enemies. In order to keep the troops intact, I had to recover them all and strengthen my allies. Fortunately, it was possible for me.
[Kiahahahaha!]
“Fuck, this battlefield is weird.”
“What kind of guy is the leader?!”
“Surely…!”
Therefore, the power of Predation became the most reliable power here. Being able to control all of this and maximize our own efficiency was an incredible advantage on this battlefield. I forced my dying allies to be absorbed by my surviving ones and turned to Katsuragi.
“Katsuragi, you’re up.”
[Damn, always asking for unreasonable work…!]
“All you have to do is pour out your magic, only your magic.” In the process of using Lunatic Trickster, it had changed quite a bit. At first, I had only been using it to set traps to capture the enemy, but it was possible to make it inhabit objects. In the process of developing it, I had become aware of another functionality it had. It allowed others to handle my abilities. It was a simple task to use Lunatic Trickster in providing mana to temporary artifacts created with my abilities.
Katsuragi reached out with both of his hands to grab the black metal barrel floating in the air. His magic was absorbed into it at a frightening speed, creating a black sphere of lightning in the center of the muzzle. When all the power that could be contained in a single sphere went inside, it launched into the battlefield like a cannonball. As the number of spheres flying around the battlefield gradually increased, the number of demons approaching began to decrease. I was able to walk around the battlefield without doing anything. The temporary cannon made out of underground metal had the ability to create a blackmine full of the power of Predation and Space Destruction.
[If only we all had those weapons, no one could get close.]
“Unfortunately, that wouldn’t work.” Responding to Cain’s words, I looked at Katsuragi, shivering as he fed the barrel his mana. Feeling my gaze, he looked at me anxiously.
[You won’t attack me, right?]
