Episode 157 Paya’s Bizarre Adventure (1)

[Ultrasanz crazy in annihilation mode on a moonlit night: spying on today’s capital]

Today again, I returned after piloting Sanz Zombie and observing the outskirts of the capital. The creation of Sanz’s alibi was for both purpose and the main purpose was to scout out demonic forces.

[One piece: I really can’t do it anymore. If you do it wrong, you might get hooked. Sorry]

The user ‘Han Piece’ who was scouting said that he can no longer go outside. There were a few close calls where I almost got caught by the devil.

[Ultrasanz in annihilation mode on a moonlit night: ㄱㅊㄱㅊ. You don’t have to be sorry. Malak asked me to tell you that he was grateful so far. Hide well]

I just want to thank you for risking your life to help us. I’ll have to thank you when we meet later.

[Ultrasanz crazy in annihilation mode on a moonlit night: Leave the scouting to me from now on]

Okay. Now I can create Sanz’s alibi and scout using my zombie body.

I also wanted to check out the capital city in person. It was very limited to understand the size of the demons and the capital only through the photos sent by Hanpiece.

Also, he had an amazing plan of his own.

Let’s assume that the seven-headed dragon demon, aggro-attracted by the evil god idol, leads its entire army toward Symphonia. Then, only a small number of troops and evil spirits stationed in the capital will remain.

Shouldn’t I summon Lachena, Dina, and other strong people near the capital, set them in ambush, and then head to the capital when the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon is somewhat far away?

If you bring a large totem and use the manifestation, you will be no match for the evil spirit or anything. That’s how you break the portal.

… There was a time when I thought: When you haven’t come this far.

As soon as I got close to the capital, I realized why Hanjik only took pictures from the top of the Skull Mountains.

There was a strange magic circle spread out near the capital.

I was watching, wondering what that was, and as soon as a drooling infected entity approached the magic circle, an alarm sounded and the infected entity was immediately roasted.

Paget!

– Tsk. Is it a barrier?

As soon as I saw it, this sound came out naturally in Zombie Sanz’s voice. A dragon demon that appeared to be a scout even flew this way.

The child’s body length was well over 50 meters. A building about 15 stories tall is flying. They just looked at me and walked away because I was acting stupid like an ordinary zombie.

In one photo, there were dozens of dragon demons like that. Are you saying we have to kill all of these guys and even kill the seven-headed dragon demon? I got chills without even realizing it.

Here is not the end. I looked down on the capital from the mountain and saw how thoroughly the demons had prepared for the battle of the capital.

Well…

High-rise buildings covered in what looked like bushes made strange noises and twitched. It is a building devil, or rather an installation devil. The building itself has been transformed into a devil.

Every building in the capital had been turned into a demon. The reason Hanjigak didn’t tell this fact until now, or rather he didn’t know, was because the capital was covered in what looked like green smoke.

Sigh-! Sigh-! Easy-!

The tentacles attached to the building gently sway and emit special, unidentified smoke. That’s what covered the capital.

I am someone who has borrowed the power of a divine being, so I can see inside that smoke.

As such, the capital’s defenses are strong.

Even if you lead an elite team to attack the capital, will you be able to finish them all before the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon, who heard the evil god’s help call, returns?

Even if the evil spirit fails to send a help call, problems arise. If that happens, our tribal federation headquarters will have no choice but to be annihilated by the hands of the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon.

The reason I’m trying to drive the devil to earth is to save my believers and this world, but even if I close the portal and kill the evil spirit, what good will it do if the natives are exterminated?

It is not acceptable to send large-scale evacuations of people, leaving only the idols in Symphonia. Demons aren’t stupid either. They send flying mid-level demons several times a day to monitor the movements of our tribal alliance.

Even if you kill everything in sight, they keep coming. The intermediate level is used like a consumable. The moment they saw the Tribal Alliance moving, it was obvious that they would use something similar to coordinate transmission to inform the evil spirits and the seven-headed dragon demon.

For this reason, they had no choice but to wait for the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon to arrive at the Tribal Federation headquarters, Symphonia Castle. Because it is right not to take risky gambles.

As was the case a few days ago, today was also a time of waiting for the reaction of the devil forces.

“Malak.”

Paya, who has become more gloomy these days, came to the altar. I came to see the altar and totem of a Loa after sharing my view with Tunteun.

Shared vision is a new skill for Paya, whose skill as a spiritualist has greatly improved. It allows the spirit and spirit to connect with each other and see the same view.

When I went with Lake to kill high-ranking demons, my skills improved a lot.

“I couldn’t see whether the tribe was wiped out, but it was definitely Udan’s altar and totem. It will be a great help to Malak in his recovery.”

Velvet. It’s a loa that looks like a bear. I heard that it is ferocious, violent and fearless, so it is liked by barbarian warriors with strong warlike tendencies.

Hmm. Just as you activated it by infusing faith into the idol of the evil spirit with the hidden piece ‘Unreachable Prayer’ last time, you are going to use the magic tools on the altar to earn me points.

I’m grateful that you’re acting for me, but there’s something wrong with you speaking so calmly with a serious face.

Is there something you are sad about with me?

… In fact, it is worth it.

Let’s compare it to a mobile game. I pushed through the main quest with Lake and left the side quests to Kanto and the warriors.

So what did you order Paya to do? ‘Send dispatch’ was ordered. This means that they roughly filled the slots with unused characters and then left them for about 8 hours to collect items.

When Lakhe captured the high-ranking demon and Kanto and the warriors subjugated the village, Paya was digging up medicinal herbs.

– Good night. Let’s go together.

I need to use this opportunity to restore my relationship with Paya and earn points. We can descend on Totem No. 2 and go together.

“I will go too.”

Lakhe, who was leaning on Totem No. 1, stood up.

– It’s okay.

You won’t even need Lakhe’s help. Even if you encounter a high-ranking demon, you can summon Lakhe using ‘Summon a believer.’

– Stay here and protect the tribal alliance.

And if you carry more than two people, the efficiency will be extremely low. Last time, when we rescued the first room, three people had no choice but to get on board, but that is not the case now.

If you want to fly fast, it’s only right to ride a wave.

“…I understand.”

So, Paya and I went on a sudden trip alone. Demons are almost invisible except for those flying in to spy on them, and Tunteun has stealth abilities, so it should be okay.

Kwiik-!

I flew through the sky with the sound of a dog crying for the first time in a long time. Now let me say something.

***

20 minutes have passed since we left the Tribal Alliance. I spoke to Paya a few times, but the conversation did not continue as it ended in a short answer.

I also have nothing left to say. He says he doesn’t want to talk, but he doesn’t even talk to me.

– …

“…”

Tsk. What should I say about this? Do you feel like a father who comes out to play with his daughter who has reached puberty?

To be more specific, when I was young, I said, ‘Dad! My daughter, who used to obey me by saying, ‘You should kiss me!’, Went to school a few years later and heard her say things like ‘Don’t wash your clothes with my clothes!’ Kiss you anymore.’, So I tried to somehow improve the relationship. It feels like I dragged my daughter, who said she didn’t like it, to an amusement park just to do it.

“I have arrived.”

Paya got off Taeun-ni’s back and entered the half-ruined tribe.

The name of the tribe is the Starlight Clan. It is a tribe built near a river. In the early days of the Tribal Federation, I sent a letter to them as well, but there was no reply.

It looks like he was attacked by the devil a long time ago.

“Oh, there it is.”

Paya looked around and found the altar and moved. There were magic tools in good condition placed on the altar.

– Um.

I can feel a mysterious energy. Certainly, with Paya’s help, I think I can convert that into my score.

You might say that points are of no use when you’ve reached the incarnation, but there were quite a few blessings in that I couldn’t reach max level yet.

Among them, the ‘Summon a Believer’ blessing, which is helpful in many ways, is still intermediate level. If you raise it to upper or highest level, it may become possible to summon 40 to 50 people at the same time.

“Nawabarusata noma…” ” Rasnivaita… “

[You got the score!]

When Paya’s spell was over, her magic tools dried and twisted, and the score came in.

Oh. It’s not as much as when I caught the high-ranking demon, but I’ve heard quite a bit. I can get the ‘Summon a Believer’ blessing to a higher level.

“…Something is strange.”

Paya tilted her head when she saw the Udan totem in front of the altar.

“Wait a minute.”

Paya approached and touched Udan’s totem. Then she looked at me with a surprised expression.

“Udan’s energy… “I don’t feel it.”
