Chapter 155 (1/2)

First victory and the enemy main forces

Give it all you got!

そんな事を言ったような覚えはある。

I re this before

No worries, I’s

It hasn’t even been three years yet since I reincarnated

Such worries are unneeded

But,

Are these words I spoke really so I spoke?

Yet the event I pondered about has been projected onto the big screen before ht at the back of my head

The large screen before me projected the victory of the tempest army

That’s good

There’s no probleruesome

The extent of their error resulted in this battle developing into a one-sided stampede

Gobuta, displayed an un-Gobuta like coolness, as he darted throughout the battlefield, destroying tanks left and right

Gabil being Gabil, transfor strength, struck down an enele, unnaturally powerful strike

It’s not just Gabil, everyone in the Hiryu squad transfor matter

The Material “Dragon warriorization” was noted, but to think they couldberserk

And the decisive move, was the explosion in midair

I’m not sure which lunatic went insane, created a hot nuclear explosioninferno

At that point the empire’s air force fell into an irreversible state

with that as the kickoff, Tean

In ainst tanks

Similarly, the Blue Corps and the Hiryu Squad rained their breath attack froround troops

However, there is a reason things are proceeding so smoothly

This is thanks to the active role of our ence officers

With the ability to visually discern the strong, regardless of soldiers or generals, all she sees gets turned into a blood fest

Actually, through the analysis of Wisdoeneral st the opponents of Veyron, Cien, Moss, and Zonda

恐らくは、”異世界人”か、帝国の中の強者達が隠れ潜んでいたのだ。

I’st the e in their midst

Quickly seeing through this, they were dealt with before the operation began

How terrifying, the strong-discerning eye

In theat the rear of the empire’s army

Displayed onto the large screen, are the s faces of Testarossa and Ultima

There was no way to confirm any other survivors

There were hundreds of tanks halted in their tracks, the reserve logistics support soldiers all fell to the ground

Their numbers, in the ten thousands

I can’t tell exactly what happened, but I understand soerous happened

Wisdo Raphael,

《解。大規模殲滅魔法”死の祝福”の使用を確認しました 》

《Answer Usage of the Large-scale anniliation ” confirmed》

Answered such

A type of nuclear strike ic that utilizes demonic death rays to annihilate life, he explained,

Don’t use such dangerousthis

Anyways, victory was decided at that moment

TN Note: That’s a load of decisive factors…make up your mind

そこで俺はその戦場での戦闘行為の終結を宣言しようとしたのだ……が！

At first I wanted to declare the end of the battle right there…but!

At that point, there was no need for this

The re of the battle, all vanished the next moment

Quartet spell: Monster’s Arc Sanctuary was activated

With Moss as the spearhead, 4 arc demons spread towards the 4 corners of the battlefield

This allowed them to activate the quartet spell

Due to the initial preparation of weeding the strong ones, there were no interferences preparing this spell

Co that to the nearby Testarossa who could activate a large scale annihilation ic they’re on completely different levels

However, they are by no et to compare with

The Monster’s Arc Sanctuary, as the naests, has no effects on monsters

On the contrary, Huic Essense, would experience death-inducing effects

Once the barrier was in place, even the ic barrier collapse, the enhanced huthened for combat needless to say, couldn’t resist the effects

Then so happened, the flesh of those who couldn’t resist began to decoic essense

In a few ic essence

Just like that, the first battle with the Empire’s army ended

Or rather, the first encounter with the empire resulted in the complete destruction of their army

They were, in everyof the word, completely wiped out There’s no military term to describe this

This was completely irrational

All I told theive it their all, and this was the result

And then towards me,

“What to say, ah Isn’t my battle plan completely pointless now!

What’s with that, those girls! And that ence officer!

But I must say even if they’re the direct subordinate of Rimuru sama, shouldn’t they explain themselves?”

Benimaru turns towards me with a smile

そりゃあ、まあ……ねえ？

Well, that’s right……right?

But there wasn’t any battle plans though?

But you know, Benimaru

You’re not the only one ants an explanation

Or rather, I want someone to explain to me what’s this all about!

そんなこんなの言い訳にもならぬ心の思いを口に出せる訳もなく……

I couldn’t even think of any excess excuses to make……

敵軍に魔王クラスの能力者が居たら不味いと思って、配置したんだけど……

“Those are the new comrades Diablo picked up

I thought it would have been bad news if the enened them

It looks like they gave a little too much of their best

Well, Diablo’s going to be lecturing them from now on”

I’ll push this onto Diablo, and dealt with it safely

I e turmoil

Those guys, are too “cool”

TN Note: I think Riuys are too calm about this, cool as in their characteristic

They annihilated the enemy army, with no hesitation

However,

“Kufufufu They have overdone a little, they were a little too excited

I’ll make sure to re-educate them (completely)”

Restraint yourself! I didn’t forget to tell the s Diablo that

After finishi+ng the explanations, I’ve begun to confirm the causalities of the first battle

In less than 2 hours since the battle began, it has ended just as quickly

Although it seee number of injured, they have all since recovered

魔物の国で作った中位回復薬を各10個づつ持たせていたので、大抵の傷は直ぐに治せたようだ。

Since everyone was given 10 Tees were immediately healed

In addition, those whoinally dead, thanks to the troop leaders applying their Full potions, had made a complete recovery and held onto their lives

Under Benimaru’s command, the bait played their role perfectly

That’s why Benimaru was unshaken

The results, even though recovery potions were used en masses, the total death count was 0

This was an unthinkable big victory

ただし、被害が全く無い訳でも無かった。

However, it’s not like we escaped daes scot-free

There’s Gabil, and his subordinates the Hiryu squad

Due to the unique skill 『Dragon-warriorization』 they have received major physical recoil onto their body

このスキルは、竜人に匹敵する強靭な肉体を強制的に造りあげる。ただし、効果は30分しか持たない上に、二日に一回の発動しか出来ないのだ。

This skill forcefully creates a body that would rival a dragonoid However, they could only maintain it for 30 minutes, and it cannot be used more than once every 2 days

その理由は、使用直後に無理をした反動がやって来て、24時間は身動きも出来ない酷い状態になるからである。

Due to this reason, there would be side effects after use, causing their body to be in a harsh state of being unable to move for 48 hours

TN Note: if they can’tit once, how are you suppose to use it twice in a day? Makes no sense… Update: My brain doesn’tthat out

Well, it’s great we attained victory after they gave it their all, but if they ed the situation this would have been a self-destructing skill

Well, due to Gabil getting carried away, not only he, but also everyone else in the Hiryu squad had suffered the side-effect penalty

It was fortunate it was only to this extent, it’s what they can only think now

そして、帝国側の被害だが……

Then, the daes from the empire’s side……

There were no prisoners, for they have all died

その数、24万人。

The number, 240,000

I have obtained their souls, and thus I know the exact numbers

This feeling, it’s likesouls for me

There was a short period right when the battle started, it felt like I was collecting souls at a torrential rate

If collecting 10,000 souls would allow a demon lord to evolve into an awaken demon lord, ould happen if you collect 240,000 souls?

The answer, Nothing! That’s it

When I awakened as a true demon lord, one could say I have reached the peak of my evolution

Well of course

IF it was otherwise Guy would have long driven hu all their souls

I think he probably intuitively realized he couldn’t evolve any

However, this could be used for things other than one’s own evolution

《告。獲得した魂が規定量を超過しました。

規定量[魂:10万個]を使用して、配下の進化を行いますか？ YES/NO 》

《Notice The predetermined amount of souls has been obtained

Currently, it can be used on two members connected via soul link

Possible targets, are monsters named below

Ranga, Benimaru, shi+on, Gabil, Gerudo,

Diablo, Testarossa, Ultima, Carrera

kuion, Adalman

Those with the qualifications to awaken as the demon lord, are those above

Set amount [souls:100,000] will be consumed Would you like to evolve your subordinates? YES/NO 》

Wisdos

One way or another, it seerant someone the qualifications to awaken as the demon lord

しかも、自分が覚醒する量の10倍ときた。

However, their cost is 10 times above me

This is so no one knows about until now

If someone knew, this would have been an economical way to simply allow one’s comrade to become a demon lord

Perhaps guy ht know

That’s why, he probably hosts the Walpurgis as a superior and gather everyone, choosing the worthy a them as comrades

There ht also be other reasons beside that

Perhaps I’ve overestimated him, or maybe there are some other unknown reasons

10万人分の魂とか気軽に言うけど、一つの大都市を皆殺しにするようなものなのだ。

Even though I simply say 100,000 souls, it’s a nu a major city

That’s not so you do on a whim

後気になるのが、”魂の系譜に連なる”という言葉だ。

I noticed afterwards, but “connected via soul link” was mentioned

これは、恐らくだが、”名付け”による魂の繋がりの事だろう。

Most likely, this“named”

Evolving after being named I’ve recklessly used this, but I’ve realized recently that doing so also comes with risks

Consuic essence as the cost, then link via the weakened body

Then, the re when needed

This could only be done, since there’s a convenient skill,Beelzebub’s pouch

TN Note: that storage ability
