Chapter 5: Gluttony Deency

“I heard that the hearts of the lords are tre I can't help but notice”

“Will it be difficult?”

Lafaye shook his head at Bardray's question

“It isn't worth worrying about yet It would be foolish of theh Darius' revelations…”

”The public opinion about us is seriously bad”

“They are driving us little by little into a dead end At this es exist The lords will never leave the Heruild's military power, the lords have no troops”

“If the lords don't leave us… Still, shouldn't we do a little bit of preparation?”

“If they leave, they have to be prepared to throw everything away I've already posted troops to some areas as an example”

Bardray and Lafaye

The two leaders thought this h to deal with the lords

The Arpen Kingdo the independence of the lords but it wouldn't go according to their will

A big picture was drawn in Lafaye's head but he tried to ignore it

‘The h inally… And is the effort to take the lords part of some subsequent plan? Or is it just a wild stab?'

Then Bardray asked in a cold voice

“Darius?”

“He disposed of all his property and escaped The hunting squad tried to track hidom”

“He has no s but the most important ones have come out”

Bardray looked at the leaders' faces one by one

They were the warriors who fought with him when they conquered the Central Continent They demonstrated the combat power of the Herth to the world

Penatulworse and worse Where did it start to go wrong?”

Lafaye grinned lightly

“We didn't do anything wrong”

“We didn't?”

“I’ve been looking back on the past but I've never felt a ret It is impossible for us to start from the middle in the Central Continent”

“Why?”

“We've done our best so far We had to get a lot of times to train an army and win the war We also had to take discriminatory measures for the Hermes Guild users”

The leaders syht be called tyrants but they weren't much different from the other powers on the Central Continent

Those who had the strength would run forward like a hungry wolf towards a big profit

They would trample on the weak and conquer the eneer than them and didn't hide theircalled wicked in the process of unifying the continent into one

Through such a process, the Hered to acquire the Central Continent

Lafaye bluntly said

“We lost public sentiment due to the backlash from the conquest, but it would have been the same if any other force took control of the Central Continent The empire is built on the foundation of hundreds of people's blood”

Weed opened his dom?”

“As a coreat achievement”

”Achieve How doed

In the meantime, Weed had often been compared to Bardray and Lafaye

Lafaye was the first to highly praise Weed

”He coe reputation by defeating the Embinyu Church Was this also a part of the predictions?”

”We didn't think he could do it”

“If we hadn't encountered the variable that is Weed and the Arpen Kingdoh our nation is now troubled, we are 10 tidom It is the saht be concentrating their efforts on the Central Continent but it won't be so easily conquered”

The stiff expressions of the leaders were gradually released

If they did their best while walking here the wrong way then the results ht be different

Lafaye's eyes shone

“History will only re now, but once we've fully unified the continent, Weed's story will disappear”

”Unize Weed and the Arpen Kingdom But we are the Haven Eth of many powerhouses Once the security of the Central Continent is stable, we can show our strength at any time

And ill use setbacks to create opportunities”

Lafaye's re

They built plans froained the best results!

If Bardray led the armed forces then Lafaye acted as his brain

They were the two chariots of the Haven Empire that had never been defeated directly

‘Go back to our original thoughts'

'Yes It is like this There has to be so the continent'

Lafaye presented so the continent at the leadershi+p , quests and festivals were hosting throughout the entire empire!

Food related productions and temporary trade incentives were also prooverns and the iant empire produced results

'We don't need any effects The users just need to feel happy for a while

We canthis ti, Lafaye called Leard as a construction worker aside

”It shouldn't happen, but we need to be prepared in case the situation of the Haven E about the collapse of the empire?”

Leard asked with a serious expression and Lafaye shook his head

“I don'tThe attacks on the north just failed slightly But to prepare for the distant future, we need to make a perfect fortress

“Perfect fortress?”

“History shows that there is no permanent empire So we can survive if some of the territory of the Haven Empire is taken away Let's build so dominance of the continent”

“A military fortress in the Haven E time”

”You have properly understood it A fortress that will never fall It will be our last resort in the Haven Eainst other threats”

The gluttony deues watched as Delaer

50 rew exponentially as he ate allied knights, er, the a increased

“Fall on both knees and stretch out your heads Come and receive the noble demon”

The demon clan provided food for Delam

The monsters as well as members of the clan were fed to Delareat dae to the allies had disappeared, but Delalanced at his quiver

“These arroill be like toothpicks to hi rod

”That is a lot of fish This fishi+ng line won't last”

Their confidence increasingly faded away as they watched Delaainst the giants But at that tied and there was hope

“Attack! Do not withdraw”

“Elites of the Mapon Kingdohts rushed and disappeared in Delaed fros around hiest spells they knew but Dela Surka formed a fist

”I really don't want to hit it But is its health reducing?”

Weed glanced over Dela When he is eating, he is highly resistant to all attacks He had the ability to absorb health and ”

“Then if we attack when he is digesting…”

“There is no way around that But once he finishes digesting, he will be bigger and stronger”

“In the original history, how did the alliance win against such a deazes towards Weed

New hope!

In Royal Road, Weed's knowledge about hunting was close to an expert

Even Maylon who had a wide range of knowledge fro a broadcaster, couldn't match him

“The alliance lost”

“Huh?”

“Their forces were nearly wiped out There were a feere lucky enough to escape by swi and reported about what happened here”

“Then hoe deal with the demon?”

“I know that he starved to death on this island That process took more than 100 years”

”Then…”

The enthusiasm of Surka and the others decreased

This wasn't a S class coht that if the alliance soluttony then they could sneak up on it

The results would be similar whether they chose the side of the alliance or the demon clan

Delam would eat all friends and allies anyway

They had to live in order to succeed in the quest

'Don't get eaten'

'Uwah… I had nightler on the broadcast What if that thing eats me?'

Weed deliberately made his party act like this

'There are two opportunities After that, it is hard because the opponent will be too strong'

If they couldn't defeat Delam then they would have no choice but to flee

The penalties would be severe but that was soranted on adventures!

‘A frontal fight There is no other way'

Delam didn't hesitate even in front of the fiercest attacks and kept growing bigger

300 metres 400 ht but his length

He becaon or a small mountain After a while, Delam's skin turned red and he opened his rey smoke soared into the air

The fearful voices of the priests on the allied side were heard

“We have to defeat hiains their strength then everyone will die”

“The fate of the continent is upon us Attack”

A historical battle was taking place

The allied knights stopped fighting icians, ere in a safe spot in the rear, appeared near Dela attack spells

Due to the digestion, Delaic attacks struck Delahts wielded their weapons

Rather than healing their allies, the priests used divine e to undead and demons

Despite such attacks, Dela

Weed spoke just before his colleagues were about to pop out

“Wait and watch a little

If the allies could avoid Delam's health to less than 10 then they could win And history would change

'Watch andon it'

The knights of the Broh

“Don't let the demon step on this land Sword of Sacrifice!”

After burning their health and wrapping their bodies with sacred power, they assaulted Delahts of the Mapon and Keltun kingdo the protection of the priest

Delaicians and knights Weed and his colleagues had been waiting for this ins now”

“I’ll aim for just one side”

Surka, Zephyr, Python and Seasoned Crab moved forward

Irene joined the priests fro

The problem was Weed!

“Don’t come close Necromancer!”

The alliance refused to let Weed join

“This popularity sure is difficult It is urgent… Don't you want to get rid of Delam for justice?”

“Shut up! A necro about justice After we defeat the dehts and rose a ghost horse

The re time was 1 minute and 54 seconds

Delam had 51 health left

‘I don't know the odds but it is difficult Necro It is very different from other professions'

This seemed to be a recreation of the history where Delah?'

Unlike history, Weed had intervened and quite a few of the allied forces remained alive

Nevertheless, it see time

Fortunately, most of the monsters from the demon tribe were defeated!

After the demon tribe were pushed back from the shore, they had hastily su as many monsters and demon tribe as alliance troops

‘Follow the crowd'

Weed moved behind the undead army

In no time at all, the undead had been reduced by half

“Take steps to control the demon”

“Understood Master!”

Weed had Van Hawk and Torido take control of the undead near the demon

The alliance needed to stay concentrated on attacking Delam!

The de Delam from a major assault!

Weed wielded the Loa Sword at one of the demon tribe disciples

The deic to defend Delam was unable to overcome Weed's sword

He used Sculptural Destruction and led the undead to wipe out the demon tribe

Delam's size was reduced to 50 metres but he became faster and harder

There were 12 horns that sy tail He even held tridents with his hands

“Kuaack!”

“My leg is caught S-save me!”

Delahts nearby

A powerful suction force was generated and the knights were sucked into Dela, he sed hundreds of people and restored his health, before starting to grow again

-The prey are busy!

Dela kuoong!

The ground shook like there was an earthquake every time Delam walked

”This can't be!”

Surka and the other colleagues quickly ran away

A e to Dela

The demon Delaic

He sih to scare the primitive instincts in them

“This death…”

”Kuk I would rather keep hts, there were those who chose suicide before they could be eaten

Fortunately, Weed's colleagues were still unharmed

It was thanks to the quick rush of the undead as they retreated

”What do we do?

Maylon asked Weed but he didn't answer as he was busy staring at Delam

Python, Seasoned Crab and the others had showed off their abilities

They already thought there was no chance of winning

”Hrmm The opportunity was lost… It is difficult no matter how many humans remain Seasoned Crab What do you think?”

Python asked Seasoned Crab

“We can attack when he is digesting Divine ic multiples attack power by several tie

“Is that enough?”

”I precisely stabbed in the back of his neck but it was difficult to reduce his health It is also dangerous due to the icians' indiscriminate attack…”

“If you are an assassin then shouldn't you be prepared to die when fighting?”

Seasoned Crab laughed at that

“Even if you risk h unless they are armed with a holy sword like a paladin But it is crazy”

Delam's enormous defense and health made it impossible for a human to kill him

The only opportunity when he had no defenses hen digesting and that had already failed

The allied forces were decreasing and Dela Delam and shook his head

“I think that all the allied forces on Jackson Island will be eaten History seeet away?”

The idea 'quest failed' had already passed through their heads

Since the beginning of Royal Road, many users had started and failed quests

So and they had to give up in the h fame and credibility would decline a little, it wasn't aze headed towards Weed but they all kneas i ht them to Jackson Island so he would ly cal on the allied forces

”Wait a little longer”

”Huh?”

“Oneabout Delae hiht back when he is digesting”

Python, earing a huge greatsword on his back, tried to stealthily retreat back

”There is a way? His resilience is high and we couldn't daainst a steel fortress”

“Yet… More allies need to die”

”Die?”

”Depending on the knights, a situation can be made I can't predict the odds but ill try one ues followed his decision

There were still hts so they didn't have to worry about being eaten by Dela nearby humans

Whenever his mouth opened wide, the humans nearby were sucked in and eaten There was a limit to the number of humans on Jackson Island and it was certain that the next opportunity would come

”Uhhh”

”Demon I will be killed by a deestion, the morale of the allies was truly the worst!

Soldiers abandoned their weapons and armour and jumped into the sea in order to escape froht now, they won't be able to exert their co eaten by the de The instinctual fear…'

Weed's colleagues found it difficult to find a way to subdue Delam

-Stoain soon… Kueeeok!

Dela over 10,000 huestion

”A-an opportunity Run away!”

“Get out of here We can't die here!”

Unlike the first digestion, the allied forces ran for their lives instead of fighting

Now that Delaer, they lost hope and juestion ti health is 94

Since Delaestion tihtly increased

“Now”

Weed flew into the sky aboard the ghost horse

“Everybody listen carefully!”

Lion’s Roar was used!

Weed's voice rang in the ears of the fleeing alliance Their morale had fallen to the bottouy is a necromancer”

“He is the one who made undead from the bodies of our allies!”

Weed had very little influence with the allied forces

Yet they still listened to hinity, leadershi+p and honour

If an ordinary necromancer used Lion's Roar then they wouldn't have listened at all

It was the fruit of his adventures and the training he did every day

“Are you going to run away and leave the deht Peace will only co through Jackson Island but none of the allied forces illing to attack

Lion’s Roar just had the effect of e number of troops

“R-run now! There is no use listening to those words”

”Yes Staying here will just 's death”

The soldiers continued to plunge into the sea

The demon Delam!

The eneral soldiers lost their deterainst Delaain, they would never win

The desperate troops rapidly fell apart In the history records, Delaestion and ate the allied forces who lost theirto do? It see”

Python said in a pessimistic tone as he watched the situation

The allied forces were busy running away Currently, the soldiers were juhts were the definition of honour and justice

Even if the allied forces fought aggressively, it would be impossible to kill Delam so Weed's actions were useless

However, Pale picked up an arrow froround and placed it in the quiver

“Weed will have a way He ht seem really reckless but he isn't that reckless”

”What does thateneht seey”

“Strategy?”

“He seeet victory”

“I will regret it forever if I stand by”

“He will be the first to jump if he thinks it is is like honour So it means he has a solution for this present situation”

”Still… How is he going to solve the attack proble Lion's Roar

“If you have loyalty then sacrifice your lives for the country! Is it less to be eaten by the demon? This is an island and you already can't escape Even if you try to escape, there will only be one in a hundred who can survive the deht I will take care of the rest”

He reached out towards Delam on the waterfront

”Corpse Explosion!”

Ka kwang!

The sand flew up as an explosion occurred on the whole island

The bodies piled up near Delam! The bodies of the dead troops had exploded

A necromancer's most powerful attack skill

If there was a corpse then the undead h corpses then there could be ician

Delam instantly lost 1 of his health

It was thanks to the hundreds of corpses of knights that exploded

”Ehh”

“That is…”

It was such an incredible destructive power that the allied troops fleeing looked back at Delam

Corpse Explosion!

The most powerful attack of a necromancer was terrific but it was impossible to use if there weren't any bodies

There were no more corpses in the vicinity of Delam

”I ah it is frustrating to ladly do this for you family, the country and the Versailles Continent”
