The Economics of Prophecy

Three more days have passed. With the rough raid time of the demonic worm calculated, the front has managed to be maintained. The way we fight has also become sophisticated. The average magic used for a single demon worm is also considerably reduced. Of course, that is also to say that we are attracting until we are well targeted at the risk.

Fulsey, who had been clutching to the radar since before dawn of night, looked at me.

"The reaction of the Blood Mountains moved slowly. It's the biggest deep red move I've ever made. And apparently they're leaving the mountains."

"Is today a good day?"

I stared at the radar. Countless points of magic are coming this way.

◇ ◇

A sound of bronze echoed on the hill. Five giant mosquito columns were seen rising in the mountains of blood lit by the morning sun.

"The estimated number is over 12,000."

Meer reports to me. The highest value update with a double score? The herd makes a beautiful circle over the mountains. It's not just the number, it's clearly not the same control as before.

The battle begins. The ally "Carrot" is struggling against a large group of opponents despite his daily fatigue. There were two raids yesterday, but the numbers were low. In addition to that, I guess the feeling of victory is underpinned if we beat this.

But the enemy is also stronger than usual. Of course there are many, but they behave well as a herd. Previously, when a fellow was shot down with a laser, disturbances were seen by surrounding individuals, but today we keep moving forward.

The remaining individuals step forward while one is shot down. Finally, lightning struck at an imperial position in the north. An approaching demon worm unleashed a thunderbolt. Fortunately, it was on the lightning rod I installed in the position.

The human side also adapts immediately. Experience has been gained regarding the distance and timing at which demonic worms should be targeted in previous battles. As seen on the first day, there is little like multiple lasers concentrating on a single demon worm.

Alfina also masterfully controls the occurrence of purple magic. The masses can't set a target in one of the three locations.

Still, the number of demon bugs flying here is significantly higher than ever. Defense forces led by Maitille and Tenberg are desperately intercepting.

The front glued. It's not a bad situation. No matter how many, it hasn't changed that it's the bugs that are unilaterally shot down. Fighting is in our favor when we stop a number of violence with weapons and skill.

The question is, will magic hold? And one more thing.

"The magic of the sky is coming down."

Fulsey screamed. There is a trump card in the enemy army that upsets this equilibrium. An army of enemy skies gathers. I could clearly see the glow of purple magic in its center.

Among the myriad red-hot demon worms that exist, there are five demon worms that contain purple magic. Larger than a normal individual in the distance as well. It's a superior individual. If the demon bugs you've been dealing with are soldiers, these guys are supposed to be even kings, so to speak.

The five kings form their own formation. A deep red soldier follows the king who traces the purple light and flies. It attracts a certain range of individuals, as if they were magnets.

Naturally, the Craigs aren't holding hands either. The laser concentrated on the leading five bodies from left to right.

But......

Ruby-colored rays bounce back into dark purple magic. A deep red soldier follows the purple king who passed the barrage. The king and his immediate troops, who crossed the crossfire, soak straight ahead as they formed a formation like a

Both armies that were breached switched targets immediately. The laser will come this way. Sharpen the rear of the triangular army. But the twisted armies still can't rebuild their positions. On the contrary, we do our best to deal with the devil bugs that are near us.

I can't see as much control as I did earlier because of the king's loss, but there are much more red soldiers left around the two armies. We have a situation where we have no choice but to respond desperately to the demonic worms in the sky that shine one syllable after another and prepare to attack.

The number of digits is coming up against us.

"As planned, we'll deal with the purple."

Mathier's decree came down. She pulled out another magic laser she was wearing on her hips. Mathier's direct reports follow suit.

A laser of the same color was emitted towards the purple king individual. When he clashed against the king individual, he scattered a spark. The king's wrapped purple magic weakens.

The king of the bug, stopped from momentum, swirls and rises, shaking off the laser, as if for a while. Over the sky, five spreads, widening the angle and coming towards us again. Moreover, once weakened, the purple magic recovers.

The purple laser works. But I can see that it won't be a decision.

"Divide into two teams. Directed by me on the right and Crane on the left. Intensive attack on an approaching individual, anyway."

I heard Mathier's instructions.

"We'll slap the Deep Red Zako, as always."

I ordered Tenberg as he lasered at the impending deep red soldiers here. The imminent deep red soldier is supposedly going down. If you look closely, a unit from both the north and east are shooting reinforcements at us.

But there's a lot of numbers and density. There are at most dozens of demon bugs that the main business has dealt with at one time. It's also a split condition that cut through the avant-garde.

"I don't have that much. If this place falls, the whole army is in danger. Hurry up."

Mayteel screamed. If we lose, most of the demon worms, including kings, will arrive north and east. Or maybe it will be scattered widely across kingdoms and empires. All become human defeats.

I rushed to the observatory. Claudia, who was guarding the entrance, pulled out the laser demon wand. She's coming forward, too. This is a situation where one needs a knight on the front line.

I have things to do with them as a shield.

"I'll give you a trump card too. Get ready, Noel."

"Okay."

I jumped into the observatory and I screamed. Remove the cloth that Noel was behind the main business. A long cylinder with swollen roots appears in rhombus. Wheeled. Me and Noel push it forward. The platform on which Alfina gave up her place becomes a turret.

Pull down the rainfall cloth wearing the center of the observatory's dome. Connect the two circuits that Noel drew on the surface of the shell with a pen. The pattern of the cannon emitted light. It's time to activate the secret weapon.

The presence of superior individuals using purple magic was expected.

There were several tips. Different colored individuals were depicted in the herd of dragons portrayed in the heritage. There are also superior individuals who are bosses in our well-known herd of warcraft and wolves.

What I asked Craig for was the core of the top and bottom wolf individuals he took away during the Warcraft flood. When the wavelengths were analyzed in Ealis by filling the magic that had been used up, it was found that the upper individual emitted slight but deep red magic.

Even ordinary individuals are demon worms with deep red demon crystals at their core. It is possible to use purple magic if there is a superior individual. And there is a crystal of prophecy. Why is the ancient dragon's eye said in the Empire?

It is reasonable to assume that it is the core of an old magical creature, just like the Deep Red Demonic Crystal. As Fulsey said before, I'm not what humans can make.

Taken together, this information formed the worst hypothesis that there were superior individuals in the herd of demonic worms with the ancient dragon's eye at their core.

Based on that hypothesis, the results of measurements of the mountains of blood by Fabius were examined and additional observations were requested. Different behaviors were seen in some of the purple magic dots, as expected. In other words, part of what seemed to be a purple magic vent was predicted to be the superior individual of the demonic worm that the hypothesis indicates.

"I can't prevent it, are you ready yet?"

I can hear Tenberg yelling from the outside. He and his men are hunted down all the way around the observatory, which is the heart of the main business. Outside the window, I can see Mayteel and Claudia lining up and releasing the laser. And there are an unparalleled number of demonic bugs flying around in the sky.

"Not good. Purple went to the workshop."

A voice sounds like a scream from Mathier.

I see four kings aligned over the main business. Take the square arrangement and the light begins to fill from the tail side. It's like counting up to ruin. The target of electricity is definitely the building where we live.

I'm done adjusting the cylinder.

Noel screams. I saw Alfina. Alfina holds the crystal of prophecy she brought from the diocese. When I nod, Alfina goes to the cylinder.

There is a spherical indentation behind the secret weapon. Alfina installed the crystal of prophecy there. Place the bottle where Noel emits yellow fluorescence in front of the crystal and cover the tip of the bottle with black demonic crystals that I have engineered to arc.

"I'm done calculating, seniors"

Meer said next to Fulsey, who is clutching to the radar. I'll follow Meer's instructions and angle myself.

Alfina approaches the crystal. I defend Alfina with a magic gold coat coated with magic reflectors. In principle, the magic should concentrate forward, but I can't be more alarmed than using the power of the crystal.

Now, we're ready. There is a thunderbolt of bursting over the sky. Purple electricity intertwines around the four kings.

"Marquis, give me the alarm!

I screamed at Tenberg outside. The bronze tongue of the main business rang and the rays that were running in the air disappeared simultaneously. As instructed beforehand, all the knights on the hill and all the slightly qualitative objects should be lying on the ground.

Fulsey, who watched the radar until the end of the line, also leaves to the edge of the room.

Alfina touches the crystal. Dokun, once the crystal blinks, purple light arises. But the light suddenly faded away. Instead one wave of light occurs in the yellow liquid and moves forward.

The next moment, there was a broken glass sound. Almost simultaneously, the shell glowed and the light sphere popped out of the tip towards the sky.

"Alfina"

I hold Alfina, who falls in recoil.

Lie on your back and look at the sky. At the end of my gaze, the photosphere progresses in concentric circles. The center is purple, its exterior is deep red, and red. A circular rainbow of disastrous magic. The center of the spindle collided with the four kings above. And the rainbow splattered lightly.

Four bugs floating in the sky like nothing happened. But its body is as rigid as a specimen stopped by a pin.

…………

The next moment, they broke. horns, head, feet, wings, abdomen. As if they were made innocent children's toys, body parts split apart and fall off.

"Good, you're doing well"

Alfina in her arms opened her mouth with a howling face.

"Is Alfina okay?"

"Yes, Ricardo protected me."

Alfina turned under her navel, laying her own hand on my hand.

Fulsey and the others stand up shaking their heads. We feel sorry for ourselves and let go.

Get out of the observatory and check the war.

The rest of the demon worms, manipulated by a wave of deep red magic on the outside, are also confused. There, a laser is showered from the ground.

Demon bugs that are dropped unilaterally. The risen Tenbergs are also resuming their attacks from the top of the hill. An attack from the three sides drops the demon worms.

Looking at the plains, the herd of demonic bugs that were swarming the formations of Craig and Dagobad have also lost control. The herd, which was huge, narrows without a shadow to see.

It was a tough fight, but it looks like we managed to manage the pest control.
