173-Demon army




 
 The demon Guzion had metastasized to a grassy field some distance from the Holy City. In order to escape the chase from Harut, he escaped here even pretending to fall down.

 If he was his usual self, he would have gone back to the demon world once he was cornered to this point and hoped for a rematch, making sure he was in good shape.

 However, after having his thousand-year plan crushed at every turn, Gsion was unable to make a calm decision.

 He was still in a state where the right half of his body had been annihilated by Halt. Even though he was a demon with an excellent physical regeneration ability, it was not easy to restore the body that had been completely annihilated by the Holy Attribute Magic, the weakness of his race, and he had no choice but to create a new body.

''Geez.......come on, my family.

 When Gushon called out, multiple darknesses appeared on the spot. Ten demons opened the transition gate and appeared in the human world.

 The demons were surprised to see their master for the first time in a thousand years.

''Ah, Lord (Aruji)! What do you look like?
Play it back now!
'Can't you help with the regeneration? This is...

My body ... was annihilated by a wise man.
"Wise men? "A wise man who has hurt our Lord to this point...

This is no ordinary sage. He's a monster who can even use the reversal of the attributes of darkness and holiness I'm sorry, but I'm going to take some of your magic.

 Saying that, Guzion touched his hand to the nearby demon and sucked out its magical power.

 With the magic power he sucked out, he constructed his own body anew. Unlike regeneration, building up a lost body required an enormous amount of magical power.


 The demons will overrun the holy city after destroying the holy ward──they were informed of this plan from their soul connection with Gushon.

 They felt heavily about their unworthiness as demons, such as letting Gushon, the Lord, invade the Holy City and pretend to be a person.

 However, if that was the plan of the demon Guzion, then they, who were under his command, would only follow it.

 When that day came, I swore to myself that I would take out my resentment for not being of any use to the enemy as much as I could.

 I will destroy the Holy City.
 I will paint the Holy City with despair and fear.

 For the sake of my Lord, Gushon-sama.
 For the sake of the Lord's service, the Evil One.

 When he was called, he intended to rejoice in his reunion with the Lord and then dye the Holy City with fear.

 But the reunion was far from a joyful one.

 Our Lord, who is strong and boasts of his overwhelming magical and regenerative power, has lost half of his body and has been damaged to the point that he cannot even regenerate.

 Who could have done this...

 There was an outpouring of anger at those who had hurt the Lord.
 At the same time, there was also a small amount of fear among the demons.

 It is said that there is a human race that will push the Lord to this point even if they all challenge him.


''He's no match for him - he's no match for a wise man. No matter how hard I try, I can't do it... but with you guys, I'm sure I can destroy the Holy City.

 Guzion looks at the demons under his command, each one of them.

''I'm sorry, but I'm going to let you guys die.

 Suddenly, the words were spoken by his master.
 However, there was no demon to refute it.

''Of course, I have dedicated my body to Master Guzion. My life, please use it as you wish.''
I don't care what your orders are.
I'm at your disposal.

 The Lord's fighting spirit has not been broken.
 He has not given up on destroying the Holy City.
 He is determined to fulfill the Lord's orders.

 If that is the case, then we demons will obey the Lord's orders until the end of our lives.

 The ten demons all had a strong loyalty to Gu Xiong.

''You guys, I'm sorry...''

 Guzion changed his form into a giant wolf.
 This is his true form - a full demon body.

 He kills the demons who have served him for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years at the longest, at his command.

 In the end, as a demon, he will command his subordinates to do their bidding in a demonic form, and that's what he'll do.

That's an order. Overrun the Holy City. Call the demons and kill the inhabitants. I don't care if my friends are defeated by the wise men. Slaughter as many humans as you can.

""Ha!"

 The demons began to summon the demons under their command.

 Each of them used a hundred demons, demons of C rank and above. They began to summon their entire strength to this place.

 It was larger in scale than the largest stampede that had occurred a hundred years ago when Demon King Beret reigned.

 The quality of the demons is also incomparable.

 In addition to a few A-ranked demons - 'ogres', the 'orc kings' who commanded the orc swarms also made their appearance.

 The worst demon army in the past thousand years was completed.

 There was no need for a pep talk by the commander before the battle.

 The demons and monsters here are each connected to each other by their souls.

 The demon's anger was transmitted to the demons, and that anger was transmitted to a thousand demons. Every demon and demon shared the demon's anger.

''Do it.''

 Just one word.

 With the demon's words, the ten demons and a thousand demons began to move at full speed towards the Holy City.
