Episode 20 – Cataclysm (5)
“Wizard… that’s right. I am a wizard…”
Memories that I wanted to forget by myself are forcibly recalled. But they didn’t cause me to go mad again. It was because the fear of the reality right in front of my eyes forcibly seized my mind.
[What is your name?]
“My name is Yuria. Yuria Brandt.”
The demon king started questioning and answering again when she seemed to be calm. Although still unsettled, she began to answer steadily.
[Why were you captured by the goblins?]
“I, I am…”
When the goblin story came up, her body shook even more violently. The most terrible of the terrible memories were the memories that came to mind now.
It was so terrible that his fear and loathing of the goblins made him forget that he had been betrayed by those he trusted.
[betrayal?]
And the demon king reacted sensitively to those words. Betrayal, that is the foundation of the current Demon King.
The current demon king, an artificial intelligence, descended to this land because the defeated soldiers wanted a powerful demon king who would never be betrayed.
“that’s right. I am a wizard who participated in the Allied Forces along with my colleagues. But I, we were betrayed. Contrary to what was notified in advance, it was used as a bait and we were completely annihilated.”
With a frown on her face, she grumbled as she searched for memories of that day. Because it wasn’t just the memory that became clearer. Emotions that came up with memories also fluctuated as violently as then.
It was anger and resentment. Towards the command of the Allied Forces, who had used up their courageous participation in the war as consumables.
“So… who are you? Box······ D? The voice sounds like a woman. Where is this place?”
[I am the secretary artificial intelligence of Stardust D 10+, and I am the demon king who became the demon king through the demon king summoning technique.]
“······Yes?”
[And I don’t know exactly where this is. When I tried to wake you up, it only moved in the direction of the moving magic power. Yuria Brandt, I will make a suggestion to you, the wizard.]
She managed to regain her composure and asked the question in reverse, but the demon king’s answer she heard was difficult for her to understand at once.
Thanks to her, while she was bruised for a while, the demon king gave her a counter proposal.
[Teach me magic, lend me your strength.]
“Um, I don’t know what you’re talking about. And the Demon King?!”
[I think this is a reasonable suggestion. Your body, which has already reached its limit, is now barely maintaining life. But if you cooperate with me, I will take action.]
“Tell me more!”
Embarrassed, Yuria demanded information. The Demon King told the truth without hiding anything.
The previous demon king had already died due to the betrayal of the same demons, and she was a new demon king who came from outside to carry on that will, and that her current body, which was found in the goblin breeding ground, was already in a state of disrepair.
“Ahh······.”
After learning that the war was over and realizing again what situation she had been in as a prisoner of war, her face turned pale in shock.
[Is there any reason to hesitate? If you cooperate with me and are reborn as a new being in a new body, you may one day be able to fulfill your wish again.]
In such a situation, the Demon King’s suggestion that if you cooperate with him, you will be reborn and at the same time you will get a chance to take revenge on those you hate, was very sweet and fatal.
“How on earth is that possible? This is nonsense.”
[I have already obtained human genetic data as well. There is nothing impossible in the combination formula.]
Moreover, all of them were beyond YuRia’s common sense. However, the Demon King always thinks and acts based on calculations.
It was certainly true that it was not impossible.
‘What if I refuse?’
Suddenly feeling uneasy, she looked around. However, this is a space of nothingness.
Already fully conscious, she hated being left alone here more than anything else.
“I’ll do it. So please take me out of here.”
[The transaction has been established.]
In the end, Yuria, who was at a break-even level, had no choice but to accept the Demon King’s offer.
In a state where coercive measures could not be used, the demon king, who needed cooperation to obtain the desired knowledge from her, succeeded in persuasion and finally obtained what he wanted.
[Combine her body information to human data.]
The Demon King immediately went into action. He ordered the worker to carry her body, which was being held by tentacles, to the digestive tract. Then, the body was disassembled and analyzed to collect data.
Her brain was not touched at all in the process.
In the meantime, the nanos that started to come together formed a little special nest at the production site.
What grows inside the nest is a creature that is slightly different from the other soldiers and has a body that looks almost like a human. The Demon King put her brain, which was separated from her existing body, into a newly created body.
“This, this…”
YuRia, who was almost imprisoned in a place called the spirit world, also noticed what had happened to her body.
A new body that is different from the previous one but is almost similar. As the cultivation of that body progressed successfully, her mental world was slowly disappearing.
[Conducting inefficiency and modifying the human body as a base so that it can generate full power.]
And finally everything was settled. Yuria, who was reborn as part of the Demon King’s Army instead of her previous body that had now been disassembled and disappeared, opened her eyes while slowly crouching down.
Her blonde hair was still the same, but her dull, empty blue eyes were gone, and her red eyes, which shimmered softly, shone in the dark.
[In your brain, I will upload the information.]
But it didn’t end there. Before Yuria came to her senses, the demon king, who now had control over each cell that made up her body, began forcibly injecting some information he knew into her brain.
“Ugh, ugh…”
She endured it with a frown on her face at the bizarre sensation she was experiencing for the first time in her life. Still, thanks to her, she got to know a lot of information easily without having to study or understand it.
‘Devil!’
And shuddered at the same time.
Everything I could not understand when I heard it was now perfectly understood.
“Oooo.”
[It seems that the brain and body are not properly combined yet.]
With her newly acquired body, Yuria, who was about to get up and walk, staggered and collapsed on her knees. Everything was awkward and foreign, as if all the settings that had been adjusted were initialized.
“I need some clothes…”
She looked down at her naked body and smiled bitterly. Even compared to before, the much more beautiful body was calculated by the demon king in search of the most perfect proportions.
[You, who were once human, are the highest beings among the command objects produced. It would be possible to directly move nano in the body.]
The demon king taught her how to control and move nano, the cell unit demon that makes up her body, while she was looking for clothes.
“ha ha ha!”
She manipulated her own body in the same way. Soon, her skin changed drastically, and quickly began to take shape.
Black and rough carapace reminiscent of armor and tough leather. A fluttering robe or cape-like sheath wrapped around her body. Yuria laughed at the monster’s hand, which was stronger than most steel and had sharp claws.
Although her immaculate naked body was covered, the only part of her appearance that could be considered human was the face above her neck, so she realized her situation anew.
[Enough.]
“All right. We will tell you about magic. However, I don’t know if my knowledge will be of any help to the demon king.”
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Now that this happened, Yuria had no choice. Since he changed his body in the first place, the real owner of this body was the demon lord, Box D. She opened her mouth to share everything she knew with the demon king.
“All magic in the present age is being used as a transformation formula for disappearance. It’s about transforming the mana that an individual possesses. In the past, various schools or schools existed, but now it seems that only the most practical and efficient method, the formula method, has survived.”
[Comprehensive.]
“Wow, that’s great.”
The arithmetic power of the demon king is already at a level beyond imagination. And such computational power means learning power. Even if YuRia explained it, the demon king memorized and understood it immediately and learned about magic at a tremendous speed.
If this is the case, there is no reason to use magic only to communicate with him.
[However, there is not enough magical power to train a magical corps, and there is no way to apply magic to the body of the soldiers.
“Then let’s just focus on this first. If your connection to ‘him’ is clear, you will definitely be able to reach it.”
YuRia evaluated that it would be possible for Box D, who had learned the principles and structure of magic to convert mana, to connect with him that he longed for.
[Connection available.]
And the result was that BoxD, which had finished the calculation, was also possible.
[Magic run. Magic name/connection.]
Then, using the accumulated mana as fuel, he manifested the magic at once.

“Kim Chang-hyun, this is Box D. Kim Chang-hyun?”
dim bedroom. Amidst the sound of his breathing on the bed, the mobile phone next to his head hummed and shone, and a voice came out of it.
It was a voice unique to that artificial intelligence, but it was different from before. Thanks to the use of the phone’s internal speaker and program, the voice that was full of mechanical sounds now rang as if talking right next to it.
“Why… what’s going on…”
He woke up, unable to open his eyes, and picked up his phone. And he stared at his phone with a frown on his face.
“It worked. I have succeeded in learning magic, understanding its structure and principles, and applying it to the current situation.”
“······uh?”
Along with BakxD’s voice, which clearly showed that he was excited, his eyes that had been dreaming gradually widened and widened.
Inside the cell phone, there was no longer just a blank screen.
“Bar, Box D?”
“Greetings to the Great Demon God.”
In the screen he was watching as he jumped up, she looked at the empty space and knelt down on one knee before bowing politely.
But that wasn’t all.
The background she is currently in is the deepest part of the nest, which she tired of hearing in words and seeing in pictures. Because it was right there.
His eyes swayed violently against the flowing blonde hair.
“My name is Yuria Brandt, the magician that the demon king took over.”
“I guess I need a little more explanation.”
Receiving YuRia’s greeting, he really managed to catch his spirit.
