Chapter 57: After All, It’s Because We’re Human

The army of demons advances.

Even the viewers watching were in awe at the spectacle.

The Demon King leading an army was a fairly common sight towards the end of the game.

But this was different. Because that Demon King was originally the player who was supposed to defeat the demon army.

[Wow, what a sight]

[I never thought I’d see something like this]

[I thought I’d only see this if a Demon King simulation came out later]

[Seeing it from a first-person perspective makes me feel like I’ve become the Demon King]

[Flying around on a dragon with a woman by my side, I feel a sense of accomplishment]

At first, I wondered what to do as the Demon King.

But seeing myself leading an army of monsters like this, I was satisfied.

[Feels like I’ve become a great ruler]

[In God’s Warrior, no matter how good you were, you were just a lackey of those gods]

[Of course, it’s better to be the head of a snake than the tail of a dragon]

[Isn’t this good enough to be the head of a dragon?]

<Yarou donated ₩700,000>

[Worth the effort to find something Korean]

<Tbiee donated ₩990,000>

The chat window was full of praise, and foreign viewers from afar made generous donations.

[But why does Seyul noona look like that?]

[Isn’t she excited?]

[She seems indifferent]

However.

Strangely enough, Seyul herself, the person involved, didn’t react much.

‘I’ve done this a lot in the other world.’

Seyul had led large armies relatively often in the other world.

The fact that this army was made up of monsters wasn’t particularly unusual for Seyul either.

There were different races in the other world, and she had even led many high-ranking races like this before.

So, Seyul calmly flew on Rimburn’s back as usual, and then,

“Come to think of it, how did you guys get to know each other?”

She suddenly threw out the question as if she had just remembered.

To the two people flying on either side of her.

Anera and the God of Light.

“Huh?”

<Are you talking to us?>

The two were bewildered by the sudden question.

Seyul looked at them with indifferent eyes and said.

“Don’t play dumb. You guys have known each other for a while, haven’t you? When I said I was going to find the God of Water, you said that she would take me there, and it was you, Anera, who gave me Luminus, who was the God of Light in disguise.”

Seyul pointed out Anera.

Then, Anera gave a troubled smile and avoided Seyul’s gaze.

“D-did I?”

“I saw it.”

[We saw it too]

Seyul said to Anera, who was trying to gloss over it.

And although they couldn’t be seen, over thousands of viewers agreed.

<Anera will have a hard time answering, so let me speak for her>

The God of Light intervened as if trying to save Anera from the crisis.

“You, a god, with a demon?”

<Just as I was worried about the relationship between gods and demons, Anera was the same. We were on the same page, so we secretly joined hands>

The God of Light revealed the inside story.

“What?!”

Then, a cry of anger erupted from Rimburn, who was carrying Seyul on his back.

“Anera, you! You dared to betray us and join hands with a god?”

“N-no. It’s not that I betrayed you. I was just worried about the future of the demons in my own way.”

“Shut up, you traitor!”

Rimburn was angry, but fortunately, he didn’t do anything more than that.

He didn’t have the authority to do so now that Seyul was the Demon King, even if he had been the Demon King in the past.

Thanks to that, Anera, who had a close call, glared at the God of Light.

“Hey, why are you telling them that so honestly?!”

Now that Seyul was on their side and had become the Demon King, there was no need to hide it.

The God of Light, who had judged that way, told everything honestly.

<I was trying to contact you with Anera’s help. That was part of the plan when I transformed into Luminus. Originally, I was going to follow you around like that and try to bring you over to our side, and later, with Anera’s help, I was going to promote reconciliation between humans and demons>

How did it really come to this?

The God of Light sighed once again as he stared at the demon army.

<Haa! …Seyul. Are you really going to invade the human world?>

The God of Light asked worriedly.

<If you lead the demon army to kill those two, innocent casualties will occur on the human side as well>

Seyul had also thought about the human casualties that the God of Light was mentioning.

“Don’t worry. I’m not planning to kill humans indiscriminately either.”

<What are you going to do?>

“I’m going to do it in a way that minimizes casualties. Especially today, if things go well, we might even be able to enter without bloodshed.”

Everyone raised question marks at Seyul’s bold statement.

What method could possibly break through an impregnable fortress and allow for entry without bloodshed?

“You talk a good game. Then you’ll have to do as you say, right?”

Rimburn said, mixing in a bit of sarcasm because she was so confident.

“We’ve arrived.”

He, who had been flying in the air, stopped.

The army of demons following behind also stopped.

A huge fortress could be seen in front of them.

The fortress was dome-shaped, and all sides were blocked, so it was impossible to tell where the entrance and exit were.

The fortress walls looked smooth and solid, made of some unknown material.

Various magic circles were densely drawn on the surface.

“Even if you can fly, you can’t get any closer than this.”

Rimburn, who had kept a certain distance from the Ivar Fortress, said with a great deal of caution.

“Do you see those magic circles? Those are all magic circles for defense and attack. They defend the fortress and at the same time emit magic power to shoot down enemies in the sky.”

“Not only that. The constituent material of the fortress itself is made of rare metals. It’s a metal that has materialized magic power, so ordinary attacks like ours won’t work, and it’s very strong. In addition, there are countless magical tools built inside, and these also serve to protect the fortress.”

Following Rimburn, Anera explained how excellent the Ivar Fortress was.

“Thorough.”

Seyul was slightly surprised after hearing the explanation.

“The technology is amazing? Do humans all have this kind of technology?”

<Strictly speaking, it’s not just human technology>

The God of Light said bitterly.

“The God of Earth?”

<He’s the only technician among us. He has a divine power related to technology, so he provided technical support to humans, and he had them build that Ivar Fortress>

It was literally a fortress that a god had been involved in designing.

Did Seyul really have the talent to overcome such a fortress, and even enter without bloodshed?

As everyone watched with nervous eyes, Seyul raised her spear.

“I’ll try it now.”

Seyul said silently and began to spin the spear.

“That’s?”

<What are you doing?>

The demons were dumbfounded when Seyul, who said she was going to capture the fortress, suddenly started spinning her spear.

[That’s?!]

[Is she really going to do that?]

[Not the Limitless Art, here!]

But the reaction of the viewers who had seen the action was different.

They were all surprised because they knew what would happen next.

Whoosh!

Wind swirled around the spear.

And water droplets flew away, blown by the wind.

When both reached the sky, something unbelievable happened to the demons.

“Rain?”

“It’s raining!”

The demons were shocked when the weather suddenly changed and it started to rain.

It was easy to see that it was Seyul’s doing because it happened when she spun her spear.

“Amazing, Seyul! You can change the weather!”

<…Just become a god already>

Anera’s eyes sparkled as she brought rain, which was familiar to Melusine.

The God of Light spoke with a slightly dejected look.

“It’s amazing, but.”

“Why rain in this situation?”

The other demons were surprised, but they wondered why she had to make it rain.

They couldn’t see what rain had to do with the fortress.

‘As expected.’

Seyul smiled alone while the others were confused.

Because she had keenly sensed it.

The rain falling on the fortress was seeping in, albeit a little.

‘It looks flawless, but there are still some gaps. Well, if you literally block all sides, the air won’t circulate and it’ll be impossible to breathe.’

It was natural to have holes for air to pass through in order not to suffocate.

But because of this obviousness, the Ivar Fortress would be defeated for the first time.

Swish!

Seyul put more strength into it, making it rain even harder.

Seyul’s level in God’s Warrior was 7.

Lower than when she made it rain in Limitless Online, but it didn’t matter.

Making it rain used the existing moisture in the atmosphere, so the power consumption was relatively low.

‘The inside should be a sea of water by now.’

Seyul made it rain and roughly estimated the angle.

The reason she deliberately made it rain was to confirm the air holes and to flood the fortress with rain.

No matter how excellent the soldiers inside the fortress were, they were still just humans.

If the rain filled the fortress and turned it into a sea of water, there was no way they could withstand it.

Moreover,

‘Now it’s the air’s turn!’

Seyul wasn’t just able to control water.

She controlled the entire surrounding atmosphere with the rotation of the spear.

She slowly began to remove the air inside the fortress.

The inside was a sea of water, and even the air was escaping.

There was no way they could breathe in this situation.

Splash!

Various parts of the Ivar Fortress opened.

The wall, which was thought to be flawless, opened and water poured out.

Along with countless people swimming inside.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Air! Air!”

Those who came out of the fortress frantically searched for air.

Seeing their actions, the others finally realized Seyul’s intentions.

[She made them come out by making them unable to breathe?]

[Well, this is definitely entering without bloodshed]

No matter how strong the fortress was, it was useless if the people inside came out on their own.

Seyul was on the verge of entering without bloodshed as she had promised.
