Chapter 1102 – Prelude to War

Dre immediately met Kitz. In less than a minute, the hero party gathered.
Scholars analyze the ball left behind by Remage. I analyzed the data in it.

“It’s really kind and high-level magic.”

The scholar was amazed.

“Is it activated by mana? The only difference is whether it is activated by magic. This is sophisticated magic that requires a very high level of knowledge. Haha.”

After admiring it, the scholar began to explain what was in the ball.

“Roughly speaking, the information contained in this is a detailed list of the hundreds of thousands of ‘Demon Lords’ handed over to Arras, the current demon lord of war. And about the six new hybrid demon lords and Arras’ special abilities.”

Also. One ‘support’ and. It was also written about the ‘doubt’ power that Arras supposedly had newly acquired.

Katz was handed the knowledge. She let out a drool.
As he stretched out his hand toward the wall, a light gushed out, and information written by Li Mage was printed on the wall.

[You’re a pig-like bastard. I’ll kindly explain, so listen carefully.]

Quack.

Dre grabbed Kitz by the back of his head and the hero voiced his displeasure.

“Remage wrote it like that.”
“Yes, but you can rewrite it. You bastard. Are you on purpose?”
“Whoops.”

Katz laughs happily. Dre glared at him. He wanted to stare, but he let go of the back of his head helplessly.

‘I’m still down.’

I deliberately tried to provoke Dre, but it was a failure.
Shaking the back of his hair, Kitz looked at Dre’s face.

It’s true that the fight with Mei-Chi caused the biggest loss, but…

“Eight days. The reason why Intangible met them was that he was taken by an acquaintance named Langpaewi. It’s because of Intangible who was careless, not you.”

Dre seems like why am I blaming myself huh? He made a noise and said.

“Noisy. Please explain.”
“Okay. Let’s translate it properly this time.”

The contents printed on the wall turn over the page like PPL reflected on the screen.

[Current hybrid demon kings have a strong feeling of ‘testing’.]

“A test piece?”

Homun made a questioning sound.

“You said you only created an experimental work while replacing nearly 100 demon lords? That’s true. The demon realm is overflowing with manpower? Or. Does it disregard us humans that much?”

Homun smiled very ferociously, unlike her.

It’s been that way ever since Dre told me almost everything about Remage, except for the soft touch of his feet and cheeks.

The Homun couldn’t stand the demons ignoring them.
More than anything. This time, the demons had already invaded the human world, but the fact that the intelligence officer himself had not noticed was extremely humiliating, and he was in a state of irritation.

Homun, realizing that Kaitsu was staring at him, raised both of her hands and gave her an okay gesture.

“Let it continue.”

[Originally, compound powers must have meant the expression of multiple powers at once. However, most of the hybrid demon lords seem to have chosen to strengthen their original powers instead of giving up acquiring various powers.]

Own original strength.

[E.G. Light and dark. He boldly gave up powers that were opposites like water and fire. As pure energy, I used a method to enhance the original ability or leave only the power that causes synergy to assist the main power. If the authority of the demon lord is regarded as fire, then it is the newly acquired authority. I left only the original ones that are helpful for the fire, such as heat.]

“…What are you talking about?”

Rabband tilted his head and asked the scholar.

“It means that you’ve made yourself better at what you’re good at than practicing new things at what you’re not good at.”

The moment Dre admired that it was an appropriate explanation, a detailed list of six Demon Lords appeared.

[Demon King of Color] Jones.

A tall, dark-haired beauty wearing a spider-like dress.
As a Demon Lord with mental and pheromone-type abilities, it is confirmed that even a ‘hybrid’ Demon Lord with the same power of color emitted by him is possessed.

Because of his prudent personality, he did not show any more ability than that.]

[Bell Bell, the Demon King of the Rock.

At first glance, it looks like a double-headed rice cake. True to its appearance, its physical strength is astounding, but in fact, its defensive power is most formidable. Unlike other demon lords, he did not fully utilize his strengths, such as utterances or shouts. He left some powers.]

[Harsan, the Demon Lord of Assassination

A pervert in a black cape with a ghastly mask. He used to have the ability to melt into shadows, but now he has acquired the ability to completely erase existence. He is on the strong side even in head-to-head matches, but insists on surprise attacks and is also skilled. Also, during a surprise attack, it appears to gain additional attack power enough to inflict near-instant damage.]

[Demon King of Flesh, Guldeok.

A bad-looking pudgy. He has the ability to stretch or shorten his flesh indefinitely, and has the ability to transfer to someone’s flesh the moment he touches it. Strong survivability. Biotic gloves that go beyond the level of Askatlov. Or, as long as you don’t have the ability to recover, you should think it’s over the moment you touch it.]

[Demon King of Manipulation, Elia.

She is the only normal-looking girl with glasses.

All kinds of administration, including information collection necessary for the current army of Arras. One of these demon lords is in charge of the duke.

The range of manipulation is wider than expected, perhaps because he puts all his power into ‘manipulation’ rather than combat.
If you don’t find Arras’ troops. The reason must be because of this Demon King’s ability.

He is a demon king who has almost no fighting ability, and among the demon kings participating in this war, he is the only demon king who is not interested in absorbing others and is close to a mediator who connects Aras and the demon realm.

If possible, I want him to be saved.

It’s just that I’m not interested in absorption, but my personality is dirty, so don’t be interested in a pig with a light lower body.]

[The demon king of power, Farr.

He looks like an ordinary man, but can tear through space with only his power. In close combat, he has the potential to match Arras. It’s a muscle brain, so there’s nothing to explain.]

“This is a woman!”

As soon as the information on the six hybrid demons was finished, Homun pointed at the demon king part of the manipulation and screamed while pointing his finger.
Everyone was surprised by her 180 degree difference from her usual cool look.

Dre, who had been bitten by Homun’s reaction while biting his lip at Remaji’s phrase not to babble, mumbled.

“I, I’m not light…! Maybe…! I, mentally…”

And even though it was translated properly, I secretly glared at the Cheats that had not been translated in some parts.

Of course, Steel Mental Warrior lightly ignored it.

“No. That’s not it!! You already know everything about sex!”
“Eh? Homun-nim?”

Dre stretched out her hands vaguely and said no, but Homun wasn’t looking at Dre anymore.
Her eyes were nailed to the information of Elia, the demon lord of her manipulation.

“Damn it…! Was it this guy!”
“It seems that way.”

At Homun’s cry, Kaitsu nodded her head.
Dre tilted his head.

“What is it?”
“Eight days. Were you close with Queen Eniris?”

Dre, who had another stabbing corner, shouted out loud.

“I’m just friendly!!”
“Who said what? She maybe. Haven’t you heard anything from her lately?”
“…Hmm? Umm…”

Dre checked her smado just in case.
And Eniris’ [Can we meet tonight?] Confirmed the gist of the text.

“…Looks like you have something to tell me?”
“To a married woman. Is that even touching the queen…” “Yes? Warrior? I beg your pardon?”

She shook her head saying that it was not Dre at the fierce stare of the warrior party.

“Well. It would be nice if she listened closely to her. I’ll tell you in advance. Her allied forces to fight her demons have arrived in Sersu.”
“Huh? Allies?”

Katz was silent for a moment, then she opened her mouth in a heavy voice.

“There is a territory called Mageganmun, which is the closest to the Demon Realm.”

From the beginning, the land of Mageganmun was the king of the end of the show, where the word “Frontline” Was meaningless.
Say the opposite At least the show was done right.

The reason why Mageganmun was built was to keep an eye on the jittery demon realm.
Because of that, I always had the ideology of not neglecting vigilance. In order to uphold that ideology, it is said that once a week, an investigative force is dispatched to see the actual condition of Mageganmun.

However, this investigation force also fell as soon as the discipline fell, and the soldiers of Mageganmun paid back money and sent those who gave a lot of money to other places. It was a department with many problems.

But she did it this time.
They always went out to investigate. I witnessed an unusual horror.

“Mageganmun has been devastated.”

Although the soldiers lacked discipline, the defense facilities were properly equipped.
The defenses were intact. Also, the investigation troops, who had become accustomed to daily life, thought that nothing would happen at the door as usual.

“And they saw terrible things.”

As soon as. Made up of Mageganmun soldiers… ‘Tower’
Traces of carnage.

And there are 11 ‘Magic Beasts’ left on purpose.
On the beast’s neck, ‘I have trained it not to attack you.’ There was a sign that said
Witchbeasts didn’t really attack humans. It was common knowledge among the Elyunar people that only the ‘Demon Lord’ could tame a demon.

The panic-stricken investigation troops contacted the upper level, and the upper level contacted all countries that provided troops to Mageganmun.
It means that the demon world has invaded.

Proper troops, not soldiers who lacked discipline, were immediately dispatched to Mageganmun.

And, not an army without discipline, but excellent soldiers, they investigated the possibility that the third force impersonated the demons.

As a result, it was found that the wall of ‘division’ was greatly weakened.

Okay. The probability that the demons really invaded was very high.

An emergency was set in all countries, and the demons who devastated the gates of Magegan followed the traces of where they had gone.
Looking through the neighboring countries closest to Mageganmun, there were already several countries that had been destroyed and plundered.

“Plunder…?”

Dre muttered if that part bothered him. Katz answered right away.

“Looting is common between humans and demons in war. In particular, the demons who crossed over to the human world this time were reckless and moved freely even though they were told to stay still in the demon world.”

Killing for fun. Torture. Rape… Terrible things happened.

“…Hmm.”

Dre said in a low voice.

“These are the ones who deserve to die.”
“Okay.”

After hearing about the people to kill, Dre showed interest. Feeling relieved by that, Katz continued his words.

“Allied forces continued to investigate, and in the meantime, they found a message they left. The content of the message is as follows.”

We want a resolution from ten thousand years ago.
A hero The next Prunar. And you who call yourself a warrior.
Wait
In Sers.

“It’s questionable to openly say Sers is your destination. After saying that, aren’t you going somewhere other than Sers?”

At Dre’s words, Kitz shook his head.

“Countries are not fools. Of course, we considered the possibility you mentioned. Hide the fact that the demons have invaded from the public so as not to cause confusion yet. We have raised the alert level of each gateway to the highest level.”

In particular, since the Zuhingorker Empire and the Suruta Empire have taken off their arms, it is said that if the demons ignore Sers and advance elsewhere, there is no possibility that they will not find it.

Besides, recently. I even managed to find out where they were, albeit vaguely.

…What. I knew that. There is the existence of Ellia, the demon king of manipulation. Perhaps they are deliberately exposing their location little by little.

As if they advertise that they are in the human world.

“The leaders of each country decided that they couldn’t stop them with their own troops alone. That’s why.

Sers was not a country that was far from Mageganmun, the front line.
Since it was a country founded for a hero who fought against the demon king for the rest of his life, it was only natural that it was built close to the demon realm.

And Sers has a strong army, including warriors.

War is right around the corner.

“The Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces is General Christian of the Zuhingorker Empire.”
“Crisen? You have the same last name as Flaon?”
“Hmm. Her family. It’s because she’s a descendant of the Christian.”

Dre blinked.

“…A nobleman high enough to serve as commander-in-chief is a collateral?”
“It means that the Krysisian family’s influence in the Zuhingorker Empire is beyond imagination. Anyway, that’s not the point.”
“That’s right. The important thing is that neither I nor Gryze have captured any of the information I’ve been talking about so far.”

Homun licked his lips, feeling humiliated again.

“I thought it was ridiculous. Even though it’s an empire’s intelligence network, this is an ability that’s close to being powerful…? It’s an allied army, but I can’t notice the information that ordinary people found? Now I know the reason. It’s all because of that demon lord. “

Demon King of Manipulation Elia.
Homun gnashed his teeth, saying that she might not have the strength, but she might be the most troublesome demon king.

Dre and Kitz agreed.
It’s no exaggeration to say that even the world’s best informant paralyzed Homun and Grise’s information network and leaked information only to other countries as if provoking it.

It could certainly be said to be the realm of authority, and considering the enormous power of information, it is not an exaggeration to say that the power of the demon king dominates the world.

“Now. Lastly. Let’s look at this guy’s information.”

Beep.

[Arras, the demon king of war.

A stupid looking guy with long black hair and pale skin.

Dumb but powerful.
With the power of war, all weapons seen once can be copied and summoned. You can also create soldiers and armies.

Also, if the thing he made or the beings under his command went through a ‘war’, his power becomes stronger.
The more you fight, the stronger it gets, so I recommend killing them quickly.

In addition, when the true name is opened, all the ‘karma’ accumulated in the war is opened and converted into strength. It can emit terrifying power.]

“It’s all true.”

Katz muttered.

“Even in the previous episodes, if left alone, he became stronger and more annoying. When he opened his true name out of desperation, he became so strong that even I, who entered the second half, could not handle it.”

Kites in the second half.
I don’t know what level the current kitsu is, but in most episodes, the final strength of the kitsch was such that even the four major demon lords, Hardesh, could barely defeat it.

If such a kitsch would rate it this highly…?

“Hey.”

But Dre still had a low voice.
Katz, who tried to interest him, only shrugged his shoulders.

Then Dre asked.

“But you said you have new powers too?”
“I was going to print it out now.”

Wiing.

Additional information given by Remage.
The existence of a third party, different from the existing strength and known forces of Arras.

[The 100 demon lords participated in a tournament held by Anito, the king’s demon lord. Originally, there was no way they would quietly participate in a bloody competition where they ate each other.

Anito is obviously powerful, but he threatens 100 demon lords. He has no way of brainwashing.
Perhaps another being who helped Anito. It seems to be the result of the power of Liar, the demon king of lies.
If Reyer is showing interest in this war, he may have handed Arras some kind of power.

Even if he isn’t Liar, Anito is rich and greedy enough to be said to have all the treasures and power in this world, so it’s highly likely that he gave him something to further strengthen the annoying Arras.]

To sum it up, there was something added to Arras that even Kitz didn’t know about, so he should be nervous.

“There is no speed…”

No. Does that mean that Arras has the power of a secret mogul that the proud and excellent remage can’t find?
Dre sighed.

In other words. Six hybrid Demon Lords comparable to the Demon Lords of Jin Purgatory before the restrictions were lifted.

And it is not enough that the restrictions are lifted, so you have to deal with the demon king of purgatory, who has gained new powers at the same time.

“The quality of the demons is also very good.”

As much as they are stupid people who like to fight and ignored the meeting of the demon realm. If nothing else, only combat power is guaranteed.

“Currently, the atmosphere in the Pandemonium is unusual. As rumors spread that Arras went to war, the belligerent demons are raising their voices, saying that we should go to war as well.”

If Arras starts producing good results, demons influenced by him may come to the human world.
In other words. Additional troops may pour in.

“Also. It could be more annoying to the allies than the enemies. The leaders of the Allied Forces, including General Christian, are obviously excellent. Their ego is unnecessarily high.”

Kitz knew that the existing powerful people did not like the true hero who overtook them and was called the protector of humans, nor did Dre, the striking sword of mad flame, like him.
Perhaps. He might just be brusque.
The enemies this time are not so easy to fight in discord.

“Right now, Commander Crison is forcing him to obey his orders.”

Saying that he hates the cumbersome command system, Kitz jumped up.

“Each nation, including Commander Christian, must decide against the forces of Arras before they bother us.”

When the hero party and Dre paid attention to him, Kitz spoke in a serious tone.

“It’s the other side that came in. We can’t just wait and see. Homun. This ball has a support magic that Remage made by interpreting the power of the demon lord of manipulation in its own way so that it can penetrate it. Using this, we can defend Arras’s main unit until noon tomorrow. Find it.”

Looking at the faces of the people gathered with strong eyes, Kitz continued his words.

“Follow the trail of the guys and annihilate them. Rescue the intangible as well. Do you have any objections?”

The warrior party each answered.

“No. Captain.”
“I agree. I’ll definitely find the main unit. Kaitsu.”
“I will follow the will of the warrior.”
“I will help Homun to analyze the demon lord’s power of manipulation and find their main body.”

And finally, Dre said.

“But where is Marie?”

A sense of desolation permeated the moment, and Kaitsu turned her head away pretending not to know.

Dre stared at him, ha ha. He let out a melancholy sigh.

“Maybe I’m better than you.”
