Chapter 26- Variable lump (1)
Episode 26 – Variable Mass (1)
[I got as much information as I could get. We are now starting our activities again]
“Before our identity spreads further, before they become more wary of us, we must stock up on our strength.”
Continued torture, the Goblin Knights Commander really spilled everything he knew. Then, in a half-mad state, it went straight to the digestive tract and became food and magic.
[It has a concentration of magic that is incomparable to others.]
Box D mentioned that the goblin leader with special powers has more magical power than the others. However, the problem is that we have yet to find a way to utilize them, only hoarding them in the hive.
[It is impossible to create a body capable of containing magic. It is beyond my ability.]
Box D himself knew how to use magic at best, but it seemed frustrating that he couldn’t create a body to use it.
“This time, there were dozens of them, and there was only one level up. However, according to what we have learned, there are thousands of people ruled by the goblin king Andras, and many of his henchmen have leveled up.”
[Right now, let’s find a way to defeat them without the help of magic.]
Box D, who was quite proud of his ability to specialize in growth and evolution, said he would find a way to counter them without using magic.
I know little, so I’m just watching, but I couldn’t guarantee that it would be easy.
“Yuria was originally a wizard, and thanks to that, she originally knew how to use magical powers, but now she is with us. How about increasing these people?”
[·······.]
I came up with an idea while rolling my head together.
It’s not that the demon lords really can’t handle magic. Even though it was only one object, there was an object that could handle mana and magic.
Yuria, a wizard who was originally a human but joined us. If converts like her are used, in theory, even the Demon King’s army can command a large number of soldiers who can use magical powers.
[I hate that.]
“ok?”
However, Box D’s answer that followed was unexpected.
***
[It is not desirable to increase the number of units with their own egos, such as Yuria.]
The demon king muttered to himself. He talked about efficiency and ease of control, but in fact, the real reason was different.
Just didn’t say it outright. I was confused because I didn’t even know why.
[Attention… is scattered.]
The Demon King looked at Yuria, who was currently resting while replenishing nutrients. There is a lot of knowledge and common sense gained after Yuria joined.
As well as her knowledge of magic, she was once a human and was able to advise and inform him of things that the demon king could not grasp.
Perhaps because of that, he took an interest in Yuria. I listened to her story of another world with interest.
For some reason, that kept bothering the demon king who connects the two. Even if it’s obviously an act of nothing.
Inside, in the communication between the two ‘humans’, there was the anxiety of being alienated from the fundamentally different nature.
[So, Yuria, I want to ask you directly. to solve this.]
“······Yes?”
The Demon King openly told Yuria about it. After all, I couldn’t ask him like I used to.
After taking a break, she woke up, but her thoughts stopped and she froze at the demon king’s erratic attitude. I couldn’t quite understand. Even if he felt that way, why did he say it directly to himself, the person in charge?
‘The demon lord is not a human like me.’
Yuria managed to organize her thoughts. To her, the Demon King was a very peculiar being. Aside from humans, it was also different from other demons. While showing a doll-like figure that had no emotions to the point of being cruel, at the moment, he was openly showing off his emotions.
Like a child who is not familiar with emotions.
[That guess is correct. It hasn’t been long since I started learning emotions.]
“Ah, learning emotions…”
Even though it was hard to understand, I tried to be flexible and forced to understand. Because that’s one of the human strengths.
“Uh, apparently, the emotion the demon king felt was that… jealousy.”
‘Is this right?’
Embarrassed, YuRia said her thoughts, not sure even to herself. No matter how much I think about it, the feelings of the demon king that I heard directly from the demon king must have been jealousy stemming from a misunderstanding between himself and the demon god.
[Be jealous. It’s not a very useful emotion.]
“Usually, I don’t judge the usefulness of emotions, but…”
The Demon King, who knew that as time passed and he learned a lot of data and experience, he would awaken his various emotions one by one, and he was reluctant to the feeling of jealousy. It was because I instinctively analyzed and found the use of emotions.
“Anyway, what the demon lord cares about is just a simple feeling, so if the demon lord makes a decision, it will be possible to ignore it.”
[You have to make an efficient choice, but you need to reconsider whether ignoring this and continuing to care about it is efficient.]
YuRia expressed her positive opinion to the Demon King, saying that emotions can be ignored, and making ‘converts’ like her, but the Demon King was different. Even the energy consumed by emotion is calculated for efficiency.
[Dismissed. We have to find another way.]
“Grunt…”
‘It sounds like you’re talking to a child who’s polite and thorough, like an adult.’
In the end, YuRia scratched her head at the Demon King’s attitude of rejecting the convert production plan.
“For now, I think it’s good to focus on activating your connection with him more.”
Yuria changed the topic. This was one of the topics of constant conversation with each other even before the war.
By broadening the connection with him, we can now see and observe each other in real time, at the level of just conveying each other’s voice.
However, the Demon King, even he, wanted more than this.
[Looks like you found a way?]
The Demon King reacted immediately because she found out what he didn’t know, having already mastered all the magic she taught him.
“I don’t know if it is possible or not. First of all, it is a theory of such a level that it is impossible to calculate with the level of magical power I currently have, and with existing magical knowledge. However, I saw the true power of the magic that the Demon King taught me in the last battle.”
Remembering that moment, the corners of YuRia’s mouth went up slightly, and her body trembled. Still, she couldn’t forget the joy of that moment. He simply changed the way he used his power, but that moment when he drove out his enemies with his own power that was several times stronger than before.
“A new system of magic that only we can do in this world. If you use a series of equations, it is also possible to create new magic that cannot be compared to the existing ones.”
[Let me know. I will apply it right away.]
The demon king immediately learned a new magic she devised from Yuria. Learning is what the demon king is most confident about.
The Demon King could learn anything. The basic tactic is to find out and learn the opponent’s strengths and then use or reverse engineer them to destroy them.
Even the new magic formulas that YuRia created while grunting after waking up were eventually scanned and learned in an instant, and made them completely his own.
“…”
YuRia was surprised by the learning speed and smiled bitterly. It was only in this way that the demon king could instantly take the magic formula that a wizard had spent decades cutting, remodeling and combining it to make it his own.
[I think I can communicate with him more clearly with this.]
“Then I am now…”
[Yuria, please do the rest of the work with the other troops from now on. Before they send an army again, we must hunt all the goblins in the area and expand our forces to secure nutrients]
The Demon King took another step forward, but he wasn’t clinging only to this from the beginning. Even at the moment Yuria was resting, no, right after the war ended, the demon army continued to move.
Before the news of the goblins’ defeat spread widely, the idea was to make the most of it by attacking other places where the situation was unknown.
‘strong.’
Realizing the meaning, Yuria fell asleep. The gods and demons she belonged to were beings that deviated from common sense.
They now have tens of thousands of forces, but most of them live only for battle. The entire group becomes a programmed puppet and moves like one body.
Beyond war, she was convinced that the side facing the Demon King’s Army, which specialized in the struggle for survival itself to annihilate either side, could never win with ordinary warfare.
“Where am I supposed to go?”
[Where magic power is most needed. Right here.]
The Demon King, who observed the situation of all battlefields and calculated the most efficient move, infused her with knowledge and told her where to go. It is one of the goblin villages that the Demon King’s army is currently trying to attack.
“…they’re tangoblins.”
Yuria recognized them. They were a type of goblin called tangoblins, with stooped backs, hard muscles, and brown skin.
The Demon King decided that Yuria’s magic was needed to capture them, who were making a village by digging a hole in the solid bedrock.
“Ha, but the distance is quite far. It takes time for me to get there…”
[I will remodel your body so that you can move in a faster time.]
However, when she panicked at a fairly far distance, the demon king held out a tentacle extending from the production site to her as if he had waited.
“Heo-eok…”
The tentacles pierced her trembling body without resistance. All of the demon king’s body is created by transforming the cellular demon nano according to data. In other words, the strength of the demon army can be divided by how many nanos are in the body.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Now, the task is to inject a large amount of pure nano, adding a new shape that can help her body.
[This should be enough.]
“Oh, it can’t be.”
She was frightened by the changes taking place in her body and shuddered at the strangeness.
However, against her will, her body undergoes drastic changes. Something black began to grow from his back like a branch. And the branches were covered with a thin film.
[If you fly through the sky, you can shorten the time even more.]
The demon king murmured in satisfaction as he watched her with a pair of huge wings on her back.
