69 vs Demon King Kanta ③




You're angry.
You're angry.

 He looked at the state of Lina and the others on his smartphone and chuckled with the canon.

 The operation to invade the Demon King Kanta's controlled territory was generally going well.

 Initially, the plan was to believe in Lina and the others' abilities and invade by brute force, but due to a turning point that came four days ago, the content of the operation was drastically changed.

 The original plan was for Lina and the others to steadily control the territory they controlled one by one while leveling. This operation is a modest but extremely stress-loaded operation for the one being invaded.

 It's a so-called "let's do what we don't like to do to them if they do it to us" strategy.

 However, a serious flaw was exposed in this strategy. The Demon Lord Kanta's level was an estimated 7. The number of controlled areas he controlled was 9. That meant that the Demon Lord Kanta's maximum CP was 1600, which meant that he could recover 160 CP in an hour. The CP needed to create a brat, according to the search tool, is 10. In other words, you need to defeat at least 16 brats in an hour to reduce your opponent's strength.

 It was easy to bury 16 brats in an hour, but with the condition that they must be buried every hour, all the time, it was a tough one.

 Therefore, I came up with the next strategy. The goblins that had finished their crafting activities for Demon King Arisa would invade from a different area of control to disperse the forces of Demon King Kanta. The results of this strategy were not good. Goblins couldn't cut down the enemy's forces properly. To begin with, they couldn't create a diversion, so they couldn't disperse their forces.

 That's a problem........ We have no choice but to forcefully proceed with the invasion? Just when I thought it was time to move on, a turning point came.

 Four days ago.

Master, I'm here. I just came back.

 Chloe and her friends returned after leaving on a warrior training trip six months ago.

'It's been a long time. Did you make a difference?
'Ha! As I was told to do!

 Below Chloe, the four subordinates and the four underlings get down on one knee and hang their heads.

 Just as I was ordered......... I remember the order I gave to Chloe - 'I will not allow them to return until they all evolve' - and operate my smartphone.

 Oh......... Did they all evolve, even the accompanying cast of characters?

 But is the Hope I was expecting to see a werewolf........ I feel like the were-tigers under my command are more of a hit.

 I checked the status with a discouraged feeling as far as Hope was concerned.

''Oh. They've all evolved. And, Sion-san. What are you depressed about?
'No, Hope's hard work is not paying off...'
Well but you have a different ability than Guy, don't you?

 Hmm? If you think about it, Hope has a special ability called "Beastification/Humanization".

 《Beastification/Humanization》 -- even without the moon's blessing, she can change her form from beast to man or man to beast at any time.

 Huh. Is it highly versatile...? Since the species is a werewolf, does that mean it's more of a werewolf that can turn into a person?

 Well, we'll get to that later. For now, Chloe and her friends are back at the tipping point-- let's take advantage of it.

Chloe, Silver, Blue, Hope. It's early in the season, but I'm giving you an order.
""Ha!"
What? --Ouch!

 Upon receiving my words, Chloe, Silver, and Hope's eyes shine, and only Blue is smacked on the head by Chloe with a blatantly uncomfortable expression on her face.

''Now invade the territory controlled by the Demon King Kanta!
""Ha!"

 Chloe and the others set out for the control area of the Demon King Kanta that I had pointed out to them.


  ◆


 Three days ago.

 Chloe and the others arrived in front of the entrance to the Demon King Kanta's control area that I pointed out - the Demon King Kanta's control area that was different from Lina and the others.

 For the past three days, they had been making regular incursions.

 From two entrances - one by Lina and her friends and the other by goblins - the invasions have been repeated regularly. After the invasion, Lina and the others continued to defeat the attacking brats, while the goblins retreated immediately as soon as they saw the enemy. From the point of view of the Demon King Kanta, the invasion alarm would be ringing every nine hours.

 Do you know what the Demon King is like? --Even if the intrusion alarm goes off, we don't know where the intrusion came from.

 The entire interior of the dominant area can be viewed on a smartphone, so if you search for yourself, it's easy to see where the intrusion came from... but what if you don't search for yourself? How many intrusion alarms would be set off if they entered from all three directions at the same time?

 The answer - the figure of Chloe and the others running through a certain controlled area as if running through uninhabited land told the story.

 Maybe it was the regular incursions that made the Demon King Kanta a habit, or maybe the presence of Lina and the others was a good diversion... Chloe and her team's covert operation worked better than expected.


 Three days had passed, and one hour before today--.

 --~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

 A light notification sound flowing from your smartphone.

'Chloe Zion has obtained the [True Core]. Do you wish to "divide" the dominant area of Chloe-Sion as temporary master? Do you wish to "integrate" it immediately?

 I chose the synthesis. One reason - to get the effect of Pseudo-peace. If I had ruled the dominion area with the Split, I wouldn't be able to get the Pseudo-Peace effect.

 Thus, the result of swiftly controlling one of the Demon King Kanta's control areas - was the Demon King Kanta's angry and furious voice coming from his smartphone.

''You're angry, aren't you?''
You're angry.

 With the Demon King Kanta's angry voice as background music, I watched Lina and the others battle with Kanon.

(Lina's perspective)

 One by one, the demons emerge from the dominant territory, but the four dark elves don't move with their bows at the ready.

 --Challenge them.

 Eh? You will receive an order from Theon.

"I'll take care of--
You are a lowly, inferior species! Do you understand my language!

 I was about to obey Theon's orders, but Leila provoked the demon with a loud voice before I did.

''Ha! A half-breed, half-breed inferior race...

 --Let go!

 Four pale, shining arrows fly at the demon's eyes in response to Leila's challenge.

 I see......... A provocation to sear out the household? Theon is really a little wise, even though he is my Lord.



 Leila and Flora unleashed a merciless magical attack against the demon that ate four Lunatic Arrows and lived on even longer, and the dark elves led by Daquel also unleashed a second Lunatic Arrow, the second throw.

 

''####!''

 Three demons who were ranting and screaming and falling into a state of panic with words I couldn't understand. These were the demons that were under the control of the demons that had just fallen. Demons that have lost their main subordinates outside of the control area are distraught, rampaging and eventually die.

''d*mn it! I don't have a face for my husband! I'm going to slaughter a bunch of half-breeds, now!

 In an instant, the demons, who had lost their four companions, had each raised their weapons and attacked.
