I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 333
333. Before the day passed (5),
Dernivan returned to the present, shook off the blood from his hands, and looked around.
While everyone is fighting, the 1st Corps can be seen dying helplessly by the 4th Corps commander. I naturally frowned at the one-sided massacre.
Of all the elite corps, the 1st corps is the one that stands out the most, so it is understandable to keep them in check as a top priority, but is it really necessary for even the corps commander to step in and deal with those who are under heavy attack from almost all corps?
‘Besides, it was clear… the 1st Corps was our friend.’
…I now have a reason to help them.
I’m not in good shape due to the injury, but it doesn’t matter. You can’t just keep playing around in the middle of the battlefield. Dernivan immediately chose a new target and rushed at it.
Idelia, the commander of the 4th Corps, who had noticed the appearance of a disruptor, could be seen clutching her fan in annoyance.
Dernivan, the commander of the 5th Corps, is a corps commander who is as demanding as the commander of the 2nd Corps.
It is a widely known fact that a bow is used as a main weapon, so let’s skip it. Before becoming a corps commander, he honed his body, which was originally advantageous in close combat, by not only making up for the weaknesses of long-range weapons, but also frequently sparring with Trover, the 9th corps commander.
To emphasize again, he said that he ‘sparred frequently’ with ‘9th Corps Commander Trover’. With Trover, who can be said to be a corps commander who represents close combat like no other!
It’s great because it’s not enough to focus on just one main weapon skill, but…
‘The problem is that that guy is my enemy now.’
Out of all the corps commanders present here, this one had no weakness, but he ended up clashing with me.
In order to avoid a close combat in which she was vulnerable, Idelia spread out her fan and spread her memorization and took a step back. As befits a corps commander who uses a bow as his main weapon, an arrow flew straight at him, but it fell after colliding with an arrow he had thrown in front of him.
Instead of chasing after him and swinging his sharp claws, Dernivan stared straight at us from his spot and checked his bow and arrows. She opened her mouth without missing the brief standoff, which gave her goosebumps at the sight of a wild beast hunting its prey.
“Is there any reason to keep me in check? Even if I were tied here, the 1st Corps would die.”
Whether I intervened in their battle or not, as long as things progressed this way, the death of the 1st Corps was almost certain.
“How can we withstand the attack by so many legions? “Rather than die of exhaustion after suffering for a long time, it is better to die quickly and comfortably before you lose your strength.”
“…I don’t agree with that opinion.”
Dernivan, who shot the arrow, drew a protest. He squinted as if closing one eye and aimed at Idelia. Then, when he let go, the arrow flew at a speed that the eye could not follow.
A muttering voice followed.
“You might not die.”
“Well, that’s impossible…”
Idelia, who swung her folded fan to hit the arrow, paused for a moment. There was a scene that caught my eye.
“…Damn.”
The 1st Corps commander, who killed the 7th Corps commander out of the corner of his eye, jumped into battle to support the 1st Corps.
A situation where there is no other corps commander to keep him in check. Idelia’s expression became uncontrollably stiff.
….
1st Corps Commander Jaykar looked down at the 7th Corps Commander Silua, who had stopped breathing, with an expressionless face. There was a demon there, motionless, with his always proud expression on his face.
Looking at this reminds me of what she said before she died.
[If I was going to die, I wanted to die at the hands of Deon… Well, I guess the 1st Corps Commander isn’t that bad.] […] [Even though it’s not as
thrilling
as Deon’s, it was an interesting fighting method in its own way.]
Not in the demon world, but in the human world. Even though it was a battle that took place in a mess, these were refreshing words with no regrets. Should I say that it is truly like her?
…Anyway, the battle with her is over.
Jaykar broke his thoughts here and looked away to check the condition of his body. Although I was stabbed and cut all over my body, it was not at a level that affected my movements.
‘The problem is…’
I slowly opened one eye. All I can still see is a dull red color.
‘…I think I’ll have to give up using this eye at least in the current battle.’
It’s a good thing that I’ve gotten used to the poor sense of distance. I made a quick decision and looked around.
Now I can see what little of the 1st Corps is left. If they are weak enough to not overcome the situation they are in, it is natural for them to die, so I am not concerned about their lives, but it would be difficult for other legions that were targeting them to achieve their goal and be left free.
Therefore, Jaykar walked straight towards them.
Due to his special power and origin, he caught the attention of the Demon King and took over the position of commander of the 1st Corps. He wiped out the members of the hostile corps gathered by the demons. I pushed the annoying 1st Corps back out of sight and moved around on my own without even paying the slightest attention to whether they would support me or not.
Even though the 8th Corps, which had defeated them after a battle with the 6th Corps, volunteered to help those who were being pushed back, the situation showed no signs of slowing down.
Idelia, who grasped this situation with her six eyes fully open, felt her blood run cold for a moment.
Just like the 1st Corps, or in fact, a person who should be put in the highest priority of checks than them is in a situation where he is free without any checks.
‘it’s crazy.’
If this continues, everyone will die.
I tried to find another corps commander to keep him in check, but everyone was too busy to look around. Idelia, who had been looking at each corps commander while rolling her eyes, returned to the beginning and focused her eyes on one corps commander.
Unlike me, who follows the Demon Lord, he is in the absurd position of being a third force, but…
‘There is nothing we can do about it since we have a common enemy now.’
He’s quite intelligent, so he might find a different way than I did.
He raised his voice and shouted while keeping his eyes on the 2nd Corps Commander Develania, who was fighting with the 11th Corps Commander.
“What are you all doing?! “The most dangerous enemy is left free!”
“…shit.”
Devellania, who had been aware of Idelia from the moment her gaze was persistent enough to sting, caught the meaning of the shout a little too late and swore.
Jaykar, the 1st corps commander, was left free without any corps commander attached. Thanks to the 2nd Corps’ check, the Legion Alliance is holding on, but if things continue this way, they will all be wiped out quickly.
“Where are you looking?”
As if he felt the eyes rolling, Lirinel immediately attacked.
“I won’t let you fool around.”
“….”
Devellania, who fixed a stake made of magic in the air and walked away by hanging a thread, hurriedly looked at the other corps commanders without even looking at the lump of energy that fell where he was.
The 1st Corps commander is on Deon Hardt’s side, so at least among those currently fighting, if there were places where our camp and the Demon King’s camp faced each other, he tried to induce a temporary alliance, but… ‘…there is none.
‘
When did everyone die?
Excluding the dead ones, looking only at the surviving corps commanders, the 6th corps commander and Idelia, who are on the Demon King’s side, are fighting against the 9th corps commander and the 5th corps commander, who are on Deonhardt’s side, respectively, and even he himself is captured and fighting by the 11th corps commander Lirinel, who is on Deonhardt’s side.
There is no way they would miss out on an advantageous situation. No matter what you say, he probably won’t let you go… huh?
‘What’?
“….”
“What… why do you look at me like that? Ominously.”
Why did I only include persuasion as a candidate? All you have to do is make them betray Deonhardt without bothering to persuade them.
‘Anyway, Deonhardt is an overtly suspicious person, so if you touch him a few times, I think he’ll automatically become suspicious.’
Since I just needed something to buy time, there was nothing to lose by trying.
Develania, who was staring at Lirinel, opened her mouth. The voice rang out loudly as if it was aimed at all the corps commanders of Deonhardt’s camp present on this battlefield.
“What I don’t understand is why you follow Deonhardt?”
“….”
“Deonhardt wants not only us dead, but you too.”
“what?!”
Among the silent corps commanders, the only one who responded was the 9th corps commander.
In the first place, he was forced to take Deonhardt’s side without even knowing why, so it makes sense.
‘But…’ Even
if Lirinel said so, it was a bit surprising that Dernivan and Jaykar did not react. Judging from the way Lilinel was watching them, it seems like she never expected Deonhardt’s intentions to become known to them.
While the 9th Corps Commander Trober was alone in asking what this meant, the 5th Corps Commander Dernivan calmly opened his mouth, pulling out the memorization embedded in various parts of his body.
“I know.”
“What?!”
“It was at that point that I realized that I had not told them that I had other allies.”
“I didn’t know?!”
What kind of bullshit is this!
Trover’s scream echoed through the air.
Anyway, Dernivan glanced at Jaykar. As always, our eyes met with incomprehensible feelings.
‘…I guess you knew as expected.’
There were no significant gestures, but that makes me even more confident. Jaykar also knew this.
You probably realized it in the same context.
[Deon Hardt did not inform me of the existence of other allies.]
Deon Hardt told me to kill the other corps commanders. The reason I didn’t tell them about my allies was probably because I literally wanted them all to die. People who don’t know their allies will try to kill each other.
“But it doesn’t matter.”
“I care!”
“….”
No one responds, but it’s so constant.
Dernivan closed his mouth for a moment and looked at Trover, who was constantly criticizing him. Lyrinel opened her mouth without missing a moment of silence as her gaze was fixed on Trover, who was asking himself, ‘What, why, what?’
“That’s right, it doesn’t matter.”
“….”
“I want Deon to be happy!”
That’s not the reason, it’s because I didn’t have any regrets after killing the 9th Corps commander… but anyway, it didn’t matter, so Dernivan kept his mouth shut. Questions about the correlation between Deon Hardt’s happiness and this incident were also quietly put aside.
“…I thought you would say something like that.”
Develania looked back at Lirinel, whose eyes were shining proudly.
“It’s a bit unfortunate that the only person caught was the 9th Corps Commander, who can’t even betray.”
“Daeon, you have great insight!”
“Well… I don’t think so. “Isn’t it just that Deonhardt’s fortune has exploded?”
From the looks of it, it seemed like Deon Hardt was the one who approached the other side first, rather than taking the initiative to bring someone in.
Anyway, I bought some time and found the main shrine. Devellania focused on the feeling of the thread hanging from her fingertips and asked the butterfly that was flapping its wings without realizing that it was caught in a dense spider web.
“You won’t change your mind now, right?”
“Of course.”
“Yeah… I guess so.”
I feel bitter because the corps commander didn’t have a good relationship before this happened, but I can’t help it.
Lirinel felt ominous and pulled the thread before she could do anything.
“So goodbye.”
“…!”
Suddenly.
