Chapter 367 – Pafe

A day has passed since the battle with Drakar.
I was hardly able to compete with him.
It’s the first time I’ve had a battle this long… Since Liliana’s time.
Numerous corpses of demons were rolling around the battlefield.
The word blood loss immediately comes to mind.
Upset stomach
It was a waste.
Whichever side of the demons I am, if I win, they will all become my workers anyway… Whichever side is split, my stomach burns.
‘My SCVs…’
Drakar’s fighting style was a standard melee fighter.
Was similar to me
He could only roughly guess his strength by arm-to-arms with him.
Drakar was strong.
Certainly better than the great devil.
However, it was a strength that did not deviate from my expectations.
It was my advantage.
So at first, I thought I could finish it soon.
But that was my mistake.
The battle with him gave me a strange feeling as time passed.
He was a very fierce fighter.
To the extent that Daegal Devil looks like a nobleman.
Does the other person feel sloppy?
That’s a good fight.
However, the feeling was different.
When I try to compete, I widen the distance like a ghost.
At first I thought it was a coincidence, but…
As this was repeated over and over again, of course I couldn’t help but think of it as suspicious.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that he was reacting before my sword moved.
There was a foreign aspect to simply being an excellent combat sense.
Of course, I remembered the power of the Great Demon Castle that he possessed.
‘Could this guy… Read the mind?’
There are Buddhist temples, but it cannot be concluded that there is no mind reading.
‘Drakar bastard. A snake-like guy…A sneaky guy…’
In my heart, I cursed at the guy to the fullest.
However, there was no change in the boy’s expression.
‘Isn’t this…?’
A seal like Bloa was not enough.
He even noticed that and quickly ran away.
Is it the power that tells us in a moment of crisis?
Of course, Drakar was not in such a good situation.
At first, Drakar’s relaxed expression disappeared.
As the time spent fighting with me grew longer, Drakar’s face hardened and his offensive was becoming more passive.
Looking at it, it seems that Drakar has no intention of actively engaging in battle any longer.
If this continues, the battle might continue until the demon corps thinks of both sides.
He didn’t seem to care about it at all.
I feel sick to my stomach as the SCVs that are going to mine for magic stones and ores are being crushed.
I know the ignorant and simple way to destroy Drakar’s authority.
It’s creating a situation he can’t avoid.
Ignore Drakar and head to his Great Demon Castle.
And to destroy the core of the Great Devil Castle.
If I make up my mind and charge into the Great Demon Castle that can be seen in the distance, it will take less than 10 seconds.
The core of my Great Devil Castle was located on the 2nd basement level, in a position that could be called the center.
The location of his Great Demon Castle core won’t be too different.
Without Drakar’s interference, he was confident enough to shatter the Archdemonic Core within a minute. Then he will have to make a choice whether the core of the Great Demon Castle is broken or he himself is broken.
There was a high possibility that the core would be broken.
Because if it were me, I would do that.
Even if authority is important, it is not more important than life.
In another case, he goes to my Great Devil Castle as a judge.
Twenty kilometers is not that far for beings like us.
Even if we end up robbing each other’s empty houses, my victory won’t change.
I have no relation to authority and combat power, and I am not a bastard.
But that’s a meaningless victory.
Also lose troops.
The Great Demon Castle is also destroyed.
The battles so far are meaningless.
Even if you win, you don’t win.
No one had a clue as to what technology the Great Demon Castle core was made of.
If the core of the Great Demon Castle is destroyed, it is difficult to recover.
If the core is destroyed, not only the authority but also the infrastructure system of the Great Devil Castle will be destroyed.
Then the Great Devil Castle is no different from an abandoned building.
I couldn’t make that choice because I thought it was mine and not his.
I want to occupy two Great Devil Castles, not to capture Drakar.
I wanted real gain.
“There’s nothing special about coming confidently.”
I tried provoking Drakar.
I was hoping he would take a more active offensive.
“Huh…I think I know how you dealt with Bloa. I’ll admit my mistake in judgment. How about we back off from each other at this point.”
“…What?”
He proposed an out-of-the-ordinary truce.
“I’ll give you proper compensation. Let’s stop at this point.”
He was about to lose, so he was trying to get his foot out.
But I couldn’t.
There were sunk costs.
How many workers have been scavenged…?
Did you read my expression of disapproval?
“You’re more greedy than you think. Any further battles are meaningless. Other great demons are approaching. It’s good for each other to back off at this point. If the two of us fight and lose our strength, the only thing we like is the other great demons.”
Now, Drakar might be considering it fortunate.
‘Cosmos. How far is the other Great Devil Castle?’
〈 The nearest Great Devil Castle will arrive in 9 days.〉
Nine days could be considered long, but seven days should be subtracted.
The time required to sit on the throne for occupation is 7 days.
You should see the match in two days.
But he doesn’t look too tired.
The name of the great devil is worth doing.
I honestly don’t have the confidence to finish it in two days if he fights like this.
But we have to deal with him within two days.
I wanted to handle it alone if possible, but in the end I decided to borrow the power of collective intelligence.
「Liliana: Precisely.」
「Unho: Yes?」
It’s not like I haven’t thought about it for a while.
You have foresight, but you said you went to war with me?
Doesn’t that mean that Drakar foresaw victory?
I’m having a little trouble giving him a final blow, but honestly, I can’t think of the possibility that I’ll be defeated.
Besides, now Drakar wants to step back.
If I had known this situation would happen, I don’t think we would have gone to war.
There is nothing to be gained except strength.
It doesn’t even seem to have a spleen.
「Woon-ho: Isn’t that a bit lame for wisdom?」
「Liliana: It won’t be a distant future, it will be a brief foreknowledge.」
His behavior is understandable, given his ability to foresee a short period of time rather than something in the distant future.
「Unho: How to break the law?」
「Liliana: It’s simple. Fortunately, you are overpowering Drakar. Foresight is also quite burdensome for users. You just have to keep using it and overload it until it can no longer be used.”
It was not very helpful advice.
In short, drive him until the core energy of the Great Demon Castle is depleted.
I didn’t have time for that.
「Ignis: Lord. Use my spear.”
「Unho: Your spear?」
「Ignis: My Longinus Spear is specialized in destroying such transcendent powers. If Wisdom is its power, and if it relies on it, then the lord can easily kill it.”
When Ignis was first summoned, he fought a light fight.
And her spear lightly penetrated my hard magic.
Spear of Longinus.
She said that the spear could kill even a god.
「Ignis: Take it. Lord.”
The spear thrown by Ignis flies at me.
I caught the flying spear.
Then, the spear of Longinus increased in size to fit the ironclad giant’s hand.
This is a mythic weapon…
Maybe that’s why they sing mythical items, mythical items.
Drakar stood out when he saw me snatching the spear that had suddenly flown in, but he didn’t pay much attention to whether he thought he was changing weapons.
When I hold the spear, I feel a strange yet powerful force that twists the law.
Is this also a power?
It was time to see the match.
Despite my determination, Drakar did not react in any way.
If it was like before, we would have already widened the distance.
Is this the power of creativity?
It was as Ignis said.
With the expansion of consciousness and the acceleration of transcendental thinking, I entered the stopped world.
It is a stage in a realm that the great devils have not yet reached.
All the information on the battlefield entered my head, but I focused on Drakar.
I can feel the magical power core entwined in his heart.
The level of difficulty is different when you simply move your consciousness in this stopped world and when you move your body directly in it.
I also have a sense of resistance to moving the body in this state.
Even a short movement requires considerable mental strength and strength.
There is a good reason why Daegal Devil couldn’t even react and was crushed.
The Spear of Longinus moves.
The tip of Longinus’s spear approaching the heart of Drakar in slow motion.
For me right now, this is the best.
Words are in slow motion, but in the original world, they are at extreme speeds.
It was so fast that the Great Devil couldn’t even react.
Did you feel something?
Belatedly, the guy’s eyes shake.
But can’t move
Longinus’ spear pierced Drakar’s heart.
And the time of the world returned to normal.
The giant’s armor was burning red with the recoil of moving in a world that had stopped for a short time.
“Keuuk!!!”
Drakar looked at the spear of Longinus stuck in his heart with trembling eyes as if he was dumbfounded.
“Oh… Such a fool…”
He may feel a bit unfair, but his temper is also a skill.
Chaos is also a good piece of equipment, but… Mythic weapons are different.
However, he decided to keep it a secret from the jealous Chaos.
