chapter 26
026. Ruler hides power (2)
Hearing my words, Kang Jin-hyeok tilted his head.
“How did you come? Did you come riding a Power Lifeform?”
“Hey, is your brain full of nitrogen too? Let’s think and talk.”
“… … .”
“How does a Legion Queen make it? Does anyone take pictures of all living creatures? Power creatures can only be created by me. Besides, it doesn’t make sense to travel that distance in just a few months without a dimensional map. Even if the distance is second, do you know which direction it is?”
“… … Right. Are you asking why?”
“Already doing it.”
The more I look at this, the more simple and clear he is, like an amoeba.
In any case, it was clear that an incident had occurred that I did not know about.
【Hey, how did you get here?】
—… …
【Hey, do you chew on my words? Hey, baby spider?]
—… …
The legion queen who appeared on Earth doesn’t answer.
“I guess I’ll have to go and see for myself… … Maria, open the small [gate] to the location I tell you. Once I’m in, go straight back to Leviathan. Just in case, tell Arachne to prepare the troops.”
– I will fulfill your order.
The moment we entered a dark alley to avoid people’s eyes and opened the gate, a huge magic circle the size of the demon’s gate and the scenery of a dark mountain valley suddenly appeared in front of us.
At the same time, I could sense several very familiar smells.
One is the smell of the corps queen pup sleeping well in the corner.
and another one.
“… … Are you a demon?”
I’ve never seen one in this life, but anyway, the smell that comes from the opponent who is fighting fiercely with two former colleagues.
It was a pretty strong-looking Demon Cub that exudes a dark demonic energy all over its body.
“Move!!!”
As I screamed, the two men who were concentrating on the battle looked at me wide-eyed.
Right next to me, Kang Jin-hyeok took out the [Holy Sword] and prepared to run, but my one shot was much faster than his power.
“It’s a bastard!”
Pajijijik-!!!
Thanks to the growth of the main body, which has now become even stronger, high-density thunderbolts of psionic energy, reminiscent of Force Lighting, burst out of my hand.
Although the main body and the link hidden in the deep sea are currently in a state of being severed, it is possible to generate this much high-output energy with only the mental power given to the incarnation.
A ray of light extended from my hand and hit the demon’s entire body.
Kwaaang-!!!
The demons who were hit properly by this overwhelming one shot were unable to even scream properly and turned into bloody clots.
A single blow from this high-powered psionic punch was enough for the demon to be perfectly cooked and turned into a hot blood clot that did not even flow.
Isn’t this really on the same level as the High Templar in the cinematic footage of that game? If the main body and the link are properly linked, you can use ‘lightning’ with real psionic energy, right?
“… … crazy.”
When I turned around, Kang Jin-hyeok was looking at me with an absurd look, and the other two also suddenly appeared and couldn’t keep their mouth shut when they saw me who had reprocessed the Demons into rice cakes.
“… … Jiwoo? Do you really want to erase it?!”
“… … Han Ji-woo?”
I smiled at the guys.
“A long time.”
* * *
“Jiwoo… … how have you been doing?”
“Ah, it was fine that way. you?”
The leader, who hid his strength, approached me with a reddened face as if he was not feeling well.
However, he originally liked chicken and beer, so he had the impression of being a bit chubby, but this time, somehow, unlike the memories of his previous life, his cheeks completely evaporated, giving him a very emaciated impression.
“… … what’s that power? What about authority?”
“Ah, that has some circumstances. But where does it hurt?”
“ah… … Get some rest and you’ll be fine.”
The main character originally hides his power.
I decided not to tell these guys about the strength and corps I have for the time being.
… … is bullshit, and it’s going to be a bit long to tell you everything I’ve been through, so let’s find time and explain it later.
“Han Ji-woo! Oh, my dear fellow!!!”
“… … Well, I don’t know what’s precious.”
“You came back stronger? What is that lightning-breathing ability?”
“… … Well, I’ll explain later. I’m a bit tired.”
As soon as the wizard with the missing screw saw me, his mouth became very busy talking about his ‘unknown planet explorer’ and ‘research results’.
“Jiwoo, it was a very strange planet there. The manager said there were traces of you, so I went to check it out, but all there were were spiders.”
“… … .”
Why is the manager doing useless things and fucking?
“Hey, there was a huge brain mass that died from being hit by an asteroid? I heard it’s a decent size city? But it felt like the residual thoughts were almost alive. The spiders couldn’t even come close to it. Oh my God, what kind of strange creatures are there?”
“… … .”
That is the Legion’s will. He was hit by an asteroid and went to heaven.
“How good mucous membranes are for virility. Hey, that grilled spider is very delicious. Alaskan snow crabs are at the level of going away. How savory the egg house is again.”
“… … .”
… … What the hell is this bastard doing?
“So it is. I was in the middle of researching, but suddenly something like a huge moon appeared in the sky? But when I looked at the system message, it was [Demon Castle]. The gate opened in the sky, and demons were pouring down like a shower, but I just ran away with [Return Magic]. Ah, there are still a lot of things to research, but it’s a pity. But if the demon king moves directly, isn’t there something wrong with each other? What the hell do these spiders have to do with the Demon King?”
“… … The [Demon King]?”
“Yes, it was definitely [Demon Castle]. God, I never thought I’d see it in person.”
I was done figuring out how things were going.
So, it was a very insignificant incident that they went to the mother castle because the manager did something stupid, and then jumped out of the wind because the demon king bastard led an army and invaded.
“… … be the devil I thought that bastard had a heavy ass.”
“right? When I took a picture of [Demon King] and spread it, the kids got excited and went wild. Even the manager took a picture from me.”
“… … .”
Anyway, that bastard really talks a lot.
Besides, what is the legion queen over there who is beaten and drunk? Could this bastard have been brought here for research?
This is a guy who does everything.
“Hey, demons appear again.”
“… … hahahaha, shit. Kang Jin-hyuk, you catch it.”
“i get it.”
I was about to die of exhaustion from suddenly extracting high-output energy, but I couldn’t even rest properly because of the situation here.
It was a situation where I couldn’t leave the place until it was closed because the demons would come out one by one if I could forget about that fucking return magic circle.
Oh, those damned demons.
“… … Strongest, shut up for now. What the hell is that magic circle?”
“that? It is a very high-level design magic circle used for the return magic given by the administrator. As for the principle… … .”
“… … No, I roughly understand what it is, but when will it disappear?”
“Um, about eight hours?”
“… … So do we have to keep doing this?”
“maybe? I think we have about six hours left.”
However, demons weren’t the only ones appearing in this magic circle.
“Kyaaak-!! Gee, spider!!!”
“I will catch it.”
“… … .”
In the magic circle, not only demons but also young creatures like jellyfish and worker bugs came out. Thanks to this, the leader, who hid the power to trigger a fight when he saw the spider, fell into a state where he would not be surprised if he collapsed at any time.
“weird? Why aren’t the spiders showing aggression?”
“… … .”
Hearing Choi Kang-han’s monologue, Kang Jin-hyeok flinched. Naturally, the spiders immediately froze when they saw me as soon as they came out of the magic circle.
How safe would those guys dare to show aggression?
“Huh? Erase! Harm!!!”
The wizard with the missing screw tilted his head at the spiders’ strange behavior, then suddenly saw a jellyfish flying at me and shouted in horror.
However, I smiled and did not avoid the jellyfish, and he raised his tentacles and saluted me, shocking Choi Kang-han.
-ruler! ruler!
-hometown! danger! danger!
“no it’s okay. These guys don’t attack me.”
Jellyfish started to fly around me as if protecting me, and even the worker bugs turned over like a puppy meeting its owner and even started to show me affection.
The spiders that came out along the magic circle gathered all around me before I knew it, and finally a legion queen with whom I could talk a little came out and began to explain the circumstances of motherhood to me.
– Ruler, after a large moon appeared in the sky, demons attacked.
―All the Legion queens stopped the civil war and fought back, but they were too strong. Many legionnaires’ children died. They are dying even now.
As Choi Kang-han said, the mother castle was under a massive attack from the demons. To say that the ‘Demon King’ bastard came out on his own, it must have been a bit of a headache because of me.
“… … what are you?”
“thing… … spider… … spider… … .”
Anyway, the wizard and leader who saw this scene looked like they were going to faint.
The appearance of a race I met on an alien planet suddenly following me is probably difficult for ordinary people to understand.
“My God, have you finally become a [Master]? Did it just become possible to acquire alien races? Finally, the value of the name?”
“… … You bastard.”
… … For a second, I seriously considered killing this bastard.
As I revealed my sincere intention to live, I must have sensed the most unusual atmosphere, and I quietly lowered my tail and apologized right away.
“… … Are you mad? sorry.”
“If you say such bullshit one more time, I will kill you without hesitation.”
“By the way, what is that ability? Spraying lightning and dealing with spiders?”
“… … It’s troublesome to explain. Ask Kang Jin-hyuk later.”
Anyway, when I heard the news that motherhood was under a massive attack by demons, I felt annoyed enough to even bother explaining to the kids.
Although the motherland is a desolate land with barren organic resources, it is a place where I took it very comfortably the moment I ate Nemesis.
Um, should I go to the motherhood once in a while?
In the first place, I had no intention of returning to my motherhood at all.
Motherhood is a very far away place, so if you go back to try to stop the demons, you will have no choice but to take a lot of time to get to Nemesis or Earth.
Maria’s [Gate] will save you a lot of time, but even so, motherhood is so far away that it will take at least a few years from here.
“The strongest, is there a waiting time for that [return magic] authority?”
“this? You can use it again after 8 hours.”
“Is the point of return always Earth?”
“Yes, always Earth.”
However, the wizard with the missing screw here has very good powers, and it has prepared enough conditions to consider returning to motherhood after a long time.
Choi Kang-han is a very good return totem.
let’s go. Let’s show these bastards the bitterness of the Legion.
“I’m going to go hunt the demons. If possible, pick off the head of the demon king.”
“… … erase? What are you talking about? Are you going to go there now?”
The leader who hid his power came up to me before I knew it and asked me. Seeing the leader’s eyes tremble, it seems that he went to motherhood and was tormented by spiders a lot.
“Jiu-ya, it’s very dangerous over there right now. No matter what new powers you have awakened, if you go in now, you might really die. There is no possibility of defeating the demon king by beating spiders like this and spraying lightning.”
Well, thank you for worrying about me, but you should rather worry about the demon king now.
“Ah, nothing to worry about. I am the Legion.”
“… … yes?”
“The planet belongs to me.”
“… … what?”
While the two of them tilted their heads, unable to accurately grasp the power I had, I showed them the strongest bamboo spear in the legion.
It’s annoying to explain, so I unintentionally imitated the main character who hid his power, but let’s stop imitating at this point.
【Maria, come this way.】
-All right.
The moment my order was given, a huge gate opened in the sky and a huge whale appeared to block the sun.
At the same time, it linked with the main body, and a golden aura began to burn brilliantly on Leviathan and me.
“OMG… … .”
“That… … What is it?”
【Arachne. enter the magic circle Activate the colony immediately and gather all the legion queens.]
-Follow the order of the ruler.
The huge whale disappeared right into the magic circle, and I pointed at the inside of the magic circle with my chin to the two people who were idly by.
It was after Kang Jin-hyeok had already used his powers and jumped in before I gave any instructions.
“Guys. Let’s go pick the head of the Demon King’s baby.”
