Chapter 249 – The Demon Wave 2 (2/2)
It seemed that the tower would be considerably tall once construction finished.
Woohyuk grabbed Melena, the Witch of Lust.
“Why is Lilith making this building?”
“I-I don’t know. How do I know the deeper meaning of Lilith’s actions?”
Melena was at a loss and was asking the other witches for help.
As the atmosphere started becoming frigid, Woohyuk gently released Melena.
“Where is Lilith?” he asked.
“I won’t say. Also, Lilith probably won’t meet you right now,” she replied.
Lilith remained silent, even though the witches were reporting the current situation through a type of telepathy communication system.
Hearing Melena’s words, Woohyuk gave a suspicious expression.
‘You must be hiding something.’
He didn’t think he’d learn anything by taking his current approach.
As Woohyuk turned his head, Trivia, the Witch of Arrogance, ridiculed him out loud, “Make sure you start kneeling and becoming thankful towards Lilith while she has used for you Asura. You should be appreciative and quiet rather than bustling around with such an ornamental female knight.”
“… If you speak another word, I’ll behead you in an instant,” he retorted menacingly.
Saahahahah!
Black smoke wafted in the air as he summoned Verserios, which was in the form of a long sword.
As Woohyuk held the sword up with one hand, Trivia bit her lips.
“… Chit.”
Lilith forbade the witches from approaching or touching Woohyuk for the time being.
The other witches were also silent as if their gums were shut tight with sticky honey.
“You witches are no fun. It’d probably be more fun to have an argument with Helena.”
He ran through a mental checklist. He seemed to have finished what he wanted in the demon world.
Woohyuk summoned the Demon Kings who had previously gathered on the Isle of Chaos.
‘I’ll have to leave before they find out about their empty safes and start crying.’
Sooner or later, in the Demon King’s minds, emotional turmoil like the chaotic thunder and lightning in the sky of the demon world would run rampant.
As Woohyuk was in a hurry to leave, a human woman who was forced to work at the construction site called out to him, “Aren’t you Chun Woohyuk?!”
She was Liang Tsuyu, the Chinese female leader who was in the opposing camp against Woohyuk in the Adventurer’s Canyon.
It was a long time ago, but Liang Tsuyu recognized Woohyuk.
Since she was defeated in the battle, she herself was moved to this place by the system.
Woohyuk smiled bitterly as Liang Tsuyu stared at him with a hate-filled expression.
‘That woman is still alive, too.’
He did not intend to eliminate Liang Tsuyu or cause any trouble for her at this place.
He and she were already at drastically different status levels, as the distance between heaven and earth.
Woohyuk waved his hand at Liang Tsuyu.
“Work hard. Don’t slack off.”
“Keuk…!”
Liang Tsuyu bit her lips as her anger boiled over internally.
She wondered why the hell this human guy was chattering with the witches in this place.
Since he was somewhat good-looking, she thought that Lilith must have favored him.
If she started arguing with him, she felt that she’d be struck by the witches.
She was angry, but she had no choice but to let him pass by.
When Liang Tsuyu disappeared around a corner with a load on her back, the witches started chattering in the background, “What the hell, she knows Asura?”
“I don’t think they’re very close friends?”
“Let’s ask that bitch later. We have to report everything about Asura to Lilith.”
The witches had been stalking and collecting data on Woohyuk for a long time.
They were trying to find out when, where, and what he was doing through their cult follower network.
It seemed they quite enjoyed this gossip.
Woohyuk made an unpleasant expression as the witches joked about what they had heard about him.
“Come on, Leifina. Those witches seem like they’re bad influences.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
At this point, since Lemegeton was complete, he had no room to care about the witches.
Thinking about the upcoming crises, Woohyuk hastened his steps.
***
In Inotia, the City of Magic and Engineering.
As soon as Woohyuk got there, he sought Helena.
“I have sealed all 72 Demon Kings. Now, I will hand you Solomon’s Bracelet.”
“Oh, so you successfully tricked them. Or did they voluntarily obey you?”
“I just negotiated.”
As a result, their safes and resources were neatly emptied.
Helena laughed when Woohyuk relayed the things that had happened in the demon world.
“You’re so evil! Once you become a Demon Lord later, it’ll really be worth seeing how you rule.”
“At that time, I’ll make you an official Witch of Annihilation, so look forward to it.”
Woohyuk really enjoyed bullying Helena.
As Helena was one-sidedly losing to Woohyuk, Aris appeared in her lab coat and waved her hand.
“Asura~! The mass-produced Automated Cavalry is complete! Take a look!”
“Oh, is the production done already?”
Inotia’s high-tech facilities exceeded common sense in productivity and ingenuity.
Woohyuk moved to an internal space within Neustein with his party.
Crunch.
Crunch.
Upon reaching the destination, the first mass-produced Automated Calvary [group of reproduced Ishvar Unit 1] were slowly moving about and searching.
Leifina widened her eyes in surprise.
“It’s like a human machine, outside of being able to speak with cognition,” Leifina commented.
“Aris, what level of artificial intelligence are they equipped with?” Woohyuk asked.
“Well… it’s about Catsy’s level. Still, they’ll be able to understand their owner’s orders,” Aris replied.
Even though they were a magically engineered force, they were smarter than he thought.
As a test, Woohyuk asked one a question, “Ishvar Unit 1, what is 1+1?”
“3.”
… It seemed that there were still some bugs to resolve before he could use them in the real world.
Woohyuk sighed as he saw Unit 1 standing proudly.
