A Legion Grows From My Smartphone - A legion grows on my phone - Episode 99

Episode 99 – Evolution, not decadence (7)

“…”

Beyond the mask, I could see a city being indiscriminately bombed. They didn’t know that this kind of magic attack would come, so they couldn’t respond properly.

Beyond the mask, Reina was looking at that figure. The sight of that city falling into chaos at her own hands.

Austin was seen barely able to escape from the fired shell. Her anger grew bigger when she saw that. He seemed fine. While he was going through those hardships, he was not touched simply because he was a serving member of the National Assembly.

“Disgusting.”

She took her eyes off Austin and took in the cityscape. The beautiful central city where the headquarters of the academic society I once wanted to visit was located.

And the famous wizards I admired so much.

Those things were now being crushed pathetically and helplessly by my own hands, unable to do anything.

“I was stupid. They are nothing more than bugs.”

She smiled softly. I felt so sorry for my past self who admired and was proud of those things.

I looked at my hands and body. Although it is a monster covered in black carapace and leather, its entire body is full of strength.

This was the true magical power he had hoped for. An evolved power gained by escaping from the body of a savage human and becoming one with the Legion.

Raina, who continued to bombard, reached a certain point and led the higher-ranking species down at high speed and landed in the middle of the city.

There was one reason. I wanted to see them dying and suffering closer.

‘Go wild as you want.’

It was Eve who gave her autonomy. Eve’s idea was that in order to make the most of Raina, who, unlike Kang Do-yeon, has her own motivations, her autonomy should be guaranteed.

And as soon as Raina gained autonomy, without hesitation, she invaded Menas with only a small number of troops.

“how…”

“Take it! This is your chance!”

Although confused by her landing, the humans saw it as an opportunity and attacked her.

Reina and the higher-ranking species moved as one body and immediately unleashed another massive legion-style spell.

“…!”

Screams and shouts could be heard vaguely as the firestorm spewed out in all directions. Many people were not prepared and were burned alive. The smell of salta began to waft.

“good…”

Raina intentionally maximized her senses and enjoyed them. Those he made with his own hands.

Their screams and the smell of their burning bodies overlapped with my own screams in the torture room and the smell of my own body being burned.

It was then that a group of knights and wizards rushed in.

“Guards! Get into formation! The enemy is a wizard!”

1st Guard Captain Lark gritted his teeth and led the knights.

Lark, who had already lost face by missing Kang Do-yeon’s invasion, was determined to win this time.

Once the Royal Guard was in place, the wizard of the Stars Society cast a strengthening spell according to the formation.

Raina, who saw this, also moved the higher-ranking species. The wizard of the Stars Society who saw this was so shocked that he almost lost his breath.

“Go, dare use the magic of our sacred society!”

“Calm down, Vice President. It’s okay if we defeat it now!”

Lark kicked the ground with his men.

Likewise, Reina and the higher-ranking species, who had strengthened their bodies, aimed their wands and shot out a stream of blazing flames.

“Aaaahhh…”

Heat that penetrates my reinforced body and burns my skin.

Lark gritted his teeth and moved his body. Just with the mindset of cutting down the enemy and protecting this place.

Even when subordinates who could not stand by his side died, he swallowed his anger and moved forward.

“If you get close, you win!”

Fortunately, the Royal Guard, including Lark, had extensive experience dealing with wizards.

No matter how much he strengthened his body, the magician’s body was weaker than that of a knight who trained his body, so getting close was the surest way to win.

Soon, Rak and some of the guards broke through the flames and rushed towards the enemies with their swords deflected.

“uh..?”

However, they missed the fact that the people they were dealing with were not wizards in the first place, but monsters, and in addition, they were a specially created higher species among the monster group.

The higher-ranking species, including Rayna, who were in formation, changed their formations quickly and organically.

It wasn’t a wizard’s formation. The higher-ranking species held their staffs like spears and aimed the tips at the knights who had been sucked in, like a ghost opening its mouth to its prey.

“Ugh..”

“Aaaah!”

The knights who managed to break through the fire were quickly defeated in close combat.

The movements of the higher-ranking species in martial arts and spearmanship were flawless, and their passing skills were at a level that even the Royal Guard could not dare compete with.

Lark couldn’t believe his eyes.

His adjutant, whom he trusted the most, was also knocked out after being pierced through the heart by a superior species’ spear.

“He’s the leader…come on…”

“Bren!”

Lark caught the falling adjutant and burst out in anger.

Now there was only one way left. Cutting down the culprit behind this.

“Aaaah!”

Lark, who instantly exploded with power, knocked away the spears rushing towards him and rushed towards Reina.

Shining chains of magical power came out from the magic cast by the higher-ranking species and wrapped around his body, but he shook them off with his strength and moved forward step by step.

‘see? He just crossed his limit. ‘That is the human potential I want to have.’

Eve saw him and recognized him.

‘So you prove it. ‘I already have it.’

“yes.”

At Eve’s words, Reina muttered softly and stepped forward.

Lark’s sword, which had already crumpled her face like a devil’s car, hit her barrier hard. Cracks began to appear in the defense shield.

Rayna struck the man in the abdomen with her staff and struck the ground with her staff, casting earth magic.

“never..!”

He soared up and broke the rock that buried his entire body with his force, and, covered in blood, gritted his teeth and attacked once again.

This time, Raina’s barrier was broken. The sword stuck in her shoulder.

However, just before the sword was stuck, Lark got goosebumps and took a deep breath.

A large eye twitched from the coat she was wearing, and small barriers suddenly appeared overlapping in the area where the sword had struck, blocking the sword.

“Wow.”

Meanwhile, Reina grabbed his neck with her hands.

The glowing red eyes inside the mask met his burning eyes.

Eve, who believed that communication, including language, was a means of contamination, banned the corps commanders, including Kang Do-yeon, from verbal communication with beings other than herself in order to protect her subminds.

Therefore, although she could not say a single word, Reina conveyed her hatred through her strangling hands and glaring eyes.

“Who the hell are you..”

His fighting spirit and her hatred collided head-on.

But he couldn’t overcome Raina’s grudge. Her strong sense of duty and justice as the head of her royal guard ended up being directed only at the vested interests and powerful people of this city, not her entire continent, and failed to help her who once desperately needed help. Because I did it.

“No…”

A bone-chilling chill swept over his body. As he was defeated, the infection finally began to eat away at his body.

Reina let go of her hand. Then, he transformed the sleeve into a blade and cut off his head as he staggered.

*

‘Is it effective? that’s interesting.’

Eve was watching all this with interest.

In fact, Raina’s humane behavior was the height of inefficiency from Eve’s perspective. She would have been able to easily wipe them out if she had just provided artillery support along with the main force.

However, Raina, who was granted autonomy, left for Menas without hesitation, taking only a small task force with her.

The only purpose is revenge and massacre.

And in fact, Raina poured out her hatred there to her heart’s content.

It was different from Kang Do-yeon’s invasion.

Reina truly tried to kill as many people as possible, and her deep feelings of hatred and murder were conveyed to humans without a single word.

“Huh, president of the society..!”

“Hurry up and deploy your defenses. We have to stop it!”

And that murderous intent caused great confusion to humans.

The moment they realized that the being they thought was a simple monster and beast harbored deep murderous intent and resentment towards them.

Fear of the unknown began to spread among the audience. This phenomenon was something Eve had not predicted.

“The higher-ranking species that have entrusted leadership to Reina are also affected by that emotion. The experiment seems to have been successful.”

[It caused sufficient confusion and damage beyond expectations. But that place is still in the middle of enemy territory. Are you not going to retreat?]

“I got an unexpected opportunity, but I need to take advantage of it more.”

Eve found it interesting that Submind-Reina had produced results she had not expected, but at the same time, she started making other calculations.

The most efficient result to take advantage of the current situation.

“Has it finally appeared?”

Eve, who was watching the scene through Raina’s eyes, chuckled.

Someone appeared among the confronting wizards.

Silver hair, sparkling golden eyes. And a string of soul strings leading somewhere.

This was the first time that two beings, presumed to be units, faced each other properly.

[Not one]

“There will be more.”

Moreover, these people who were presumed to be units were not alone. There were a few people with strings next to Darc.

“Just keep going. Take out everything they have.”

Eve gave Rayna the order to attack instead of retreat. The purpose is exploration. I planned to use this opportunity to find out what power the enemy had.

Reina followed orders and pointed her staff at them.

But then, I saw Darc clicking his tongue. At the same time, the connection with Reina was lost and the body began to slowly collapse.

“Right to kill?”

Eve, laughing, used her power to grab the soul of Rayna, who had already become one with her soul, but had broken away from her body.

He then gave the order to charge all the legionnaires who were waiting while replenishing their supplies.

The fact that they used the right to kill means they no longer have any power left.
