Demon King

[You have entered the New Person's battlefield.]

[Protect yourself from the touch that covets your body.]

I quietly opened my eyes and looked up at the sky. That high, cloudless sky and bright sun welcomed me, but I knew that was a lie.

It was nice to meet you.I haven't seen the sky in months.

Even though it was a lie, it was comforting. I was even delighted.

Deep breaths filled me with fresh air that was different from the frustrating air I felt at the dungeon or Jinma Tower, the cozy air in the private store, or the sweet air in the garden of the Falls.

I felt like I had a big advantage over this. For this, I was willing to wage a great battle.

‘Let's start moving. ’

The instructions I need to take in this space are extremely simple.

Staying here for 12 hours, getting out without incident.

This space is neither a dungeon nor a Jinma Tower. There is nothing I must do here, and there is no end to it. The purpose of this space was different from that.

‘Maybe getting out of here once won't be the end of it. ’

Rain wiped out his partner's soul completely, and the Elves who made it out of here come back here regularly.

Is it because I miss this space? Of course not. Despite stopping synchronization for its original purpose, they are still tied here, on the battlefield of a new man. By the power of the absolute proposition, "Summon all Elves to the Battlefield of New Men."

An absolute proposition. It was the price for its power, whether it was magic or a miracle. The Elves have entered the cage on their own to protect their souls.

And as I evolved into a Crimson Elf, I became obsessed with it, too. Maybe I'll be back here every three days.

But I thought that wasn't so bad either. Wherever and whenever I am, I am also in danger. Then it was in the best interest of the future to raise power in a more diverse environment.

We can't just sit here. The amount of time the clock rotates once. I had to find enemies in this world that I could deal with, kill, prey on, and grow myself.

The environment here is more unpredictable than the Black Palace, where monsters that appear are rated, than the Jinjin Tower, where I get the right kind of trial.

Like now.

“Go away, you monster! ”

I've never heard a scream like that in my life.

I've been keeping an eye on the scene of an ambush that's taking place in the plains, a little further away.

There was a bigger bull than I was when I was a giant, Bugbear. An ox with a tattooed thick black line crawling around in red leather that looks very sinister.

I can see a human figure that is distorted in agony, blooming above the face of an ox.

But his face remained blurred in my memory.

From where I saw it, the bear pondered and realized that it was the face of a Korean financier, age 3. It was surprising that I remembered that I had quickly disappeared after appearing in a corner of the internet news due to an accident while drinking.

[Grrrrr, aaaaaaaah!]

It was the noise that caused the brain pain just by listening. Madness Noise! This skill belongs to me. However, it was also an unusual skill in the dungeon.

That skill is the worst. Because it is a great distraction to combat and an enemy with that skill can cause the whole party to see the damage, see the damage to my colleagues as well as to me, and even call in other enemies.

“Oh, no. Find your partner! ”

[Grunting]

The beast casts its weight on the words of the attacked elf. Partner, it appears that the word may be a trigger for trauma to the monsters.

The question was that part.

The creature is probably the result of a transformation of the soul of an Earthling. We still don't know where we got the body of the monster, but it's not that important.

But now I'm guessing they weren't partners. It was conclusive in my judgment that the soul possessed by that monster belonged to a man compared to that of a woman who was attacked by an Elf.

Then why is he attacking that Elf? Is the wrath of being turned into a monster targeted at all Elves? Don't you already have a reason?

Otherwise, do all monsters possess the skills to destroy the souls of elves and take over the body?

There are so many things I don't know.

Lack of information should be replenished. even if you have temporary contact with the enemy.

Final Judgment. Is there any chance that monster will get me? If that Elf finds out who I am and attacks me, is there any chance that I might be attacked in an unprepared situation?

Nothing.

Concerns were short, actions were quick. I jumped right into it. A bobble tied around my waist shakes and makes no sound.

You used the ubiquitous quarters in a row to narrow the distance as far as possible, pulling the surprise and fairy tale. The disadvantage of not being able to leap a lot of distance at once is that your skills are still at a lower level, but it doesn't take much time to reuse them once you've used them.

It was.

This skill is probably the most powerful of all my skills.

Especially now that the Mana volume has increased so much.

[Heave Ga!]

Sitting on the beast's head for the fifth movement, I put a Blood Shadow in the creature's jaw to pick up and swallow the elf.

The shadow of blood pierces the upper jaw and lower jaw, leaving the creature speechless with no irritating sound.

The elf who was about to be eaten looked up at me with his eyes wide open. She was a strong looking beauty that matched the blonde tied up on top, but nothing compared to El.

“Peoples...? ”

“Suck!”

[Grunting, groaning]

You grab the handle of the Blood Shadow with both hands and pull it straight through, blowing Mana in. You cut your tongue, mouth and face in half, starting from the burning black beast's jaw with the power of superior flame magic.

[Grunting]

You use your whole body to radiate black light like a monster can't die like this. The shock of jumping over my body and being attacked by my own soul struck me.

Is this how you kill souls and rob the body? I was amazed at the fact that the Elves' plot to avoid heavy fusion ended the lives of Earthlings resisting it and mutated to this extent.

It was said to have grown up to suit its partners, but Bondi, they were only human. Are the monsters who have the power they should not possess a miracle invoked by human anger and longing? Or is it the God's Mace against the Elves who fought to survive the Great Fusion?

But I'm sorry.

I'm already familiar with the Battle of Souls.

[Gaaaaaaaaahhh!]

I pushed the status quo to its maximum, repelling all attacks from the Black Horn. The energy that tried to invade my soul burned in the boiling Mana within me, and I cut off his remaining soul and body simultaneously before the additional hits came.

The beast screams a pitiful scream, but I'm not fooled.

You end up hurting people because you want to live. They want to live like the Elves who created the Shinigami battlefield.

I only kill you to survive.

[You got EXP 301,892.]

[You got 30 Silver for 1 Gold.]

[You have a Corrupt Soul Fragment.]

I watched the monster die, thought it would gain experience, but I felt bitterness and joy in the sheep that surpassed my expectations, and landed naturally on the floor, putting him in my inventory.

Because the inventory grew to 6x6 and 36 compartments at the same time as Crimson Elf, there was a huge amount of space available.

“Aww, that's amazing.... ”

The elf woman mutters, staring at me dazed. I took a deep breath and pulled Mana up to refine my interior, not caring much for her.

Thanks to the game with El, I was able to cope naturally, but the last attack on the monster was devastating, and I couldn't help but notice the trace of it.

“Thank you. I never thought such a strong race would remain in the field! ”

“Not so tough. ”

“You're stronger than me! That was so cool. That was so cool! ”

The elf smiled brightly and thanked me. I gave her a rough nod. While doing so, I raised my hand to check.

Hmm. That skin is as fresh as the elf I'm facing right now.

One of the two products provided by the rain was this skin. It was precisely because of the earrings on my ears, the 'enchantment of hallucinations’.

[Enchantment of Hallucinations (380/380) Rarity Ancient. Changes the look of the wearer as desired. It is accompanied by physical changes, but extreme changes are impossible. Cannot retard with any artifact or skill below Epic Rank.]

With this, he made me look like no other Elf. An artifact that makes it possible to change the extent to which a Bugbear transforms into a human, but at the level that a Crimson Elf disguises itself as an Elf.

Well, it was only because it whitened my skin and hid my energy. An artifact that is simple and locally effective and is extremely unlikely to be discovered. It was the perfect artifact for me now.

It was expensive. It makes me cry a little. Just to cut it off, I surpassed 10,000 gold.

What if I had known about this artifact before? With this, he would believe that he could disguise himself as a human being and would rely solely on it.

And desperate, really, because it was impossible to transform a Crimson Elf into an Elf and a Hopgoblin Ashter into Hopgoblin Knight.

Such goods are so expensive, but I don't have to tell you anything more effective than this. And by then, I'll be able to work in human societies without relying on artifacts.

The rain tricked me into giving me this, and told me it was a dagger in the spleen that would allow me to go on killing. I can imagine how profound his feelings for the Elves are, since he always has such a gentle image.

But in fact, his feelings were somewhat different from mine.

The Elves wanted to live. So I made a new man's battlefield. That's all I heard from the rain.

And it was something that anyone who was alive had to choose.

No one had the right to do anything to survive! Humans, Elves, anyone else. I had no intention of distinguishing good from evil from evil.

However, everything is a competition for survival. Since the Elves decided to kill others to save their own lives, they were powerless to take their own lives for granted.

If you stay strong, you'll survive. If you stay strong, you'll get stronger. This was the fact that it penetrated the present world and was the only truth that I believed in.

“Hey... do you have a group? Soon the wind of Utinus rises. So, if you don't mind, why don't you come out for a while? ”

“Indeed, the wind of Utinus. ”

I nodded my head at the Elf's suggestion as if it were an important word.

“Sure."

I'm sorry about the rain, but I didn't even know and I can't sympathize with the other things that might have happened between him and the other Elves.

So I was going to build my awareness of the Elves by interacting with them from now on. Whether they really are arrogant people who treat everything other than themselves or whether they draw swords and bows with the fact that they are Crimson Elves, regardless of their individual personality.

I was going to judge by my own eyes.

As a result, if the enemy is an enemy, he just cuts it down.

“Oh, take care! I'm Mirana.”

“Take good care of her. Kaiciada.”

So I got a temporary escort.
