Chapter 21
Chapter 21.
"Revival?"
"That's right."
The Elf, who had shown no signs of yielding until now.
However, she was showing deep interest in the keyword 'revival.'
"Entities belonging to Ten Thousand Demon Battle revive 24 hours after dying in the tower."
"Ten Thousand Demon Battle...?"
"It's a place you belong to by bowing."
"......Then I become subordinate to you?"
"Well, something like that."
"Being subordinate is a bit......"
As the Elf muttered with a troubled expression.
The Castrated Goblin Chief, who had been licking the blade, opened his mouth.
"Kihihi...... Do you know how merciful the Heavenly Demon is? He provided us with a place to live and even opened up possibilities for development. It's much better than remaining a meaningless phantom in the Tower of Infinity!"
"You got a place to live......?"
"That's right! Moreover, the Heavenly Demon didn't order these useless Goblins to work 22 hours, but commanded 8-hour shifts! How merciful is this? If you're truly an Orc as you say, you'd understand well, right?"
"8, 8 hours...... To Goblin slaves?"
The Elf looked at Lee Ganghan with surprised eyes.
"Chiik...... Unbelievable! Ah, are you a pushover? How can you give Goblins, Goblins who can even revive, only that much work......"
"Kihihihi! That's why the Heavenly Demon is the best master! We can't help but worship him naturally!"
I didn't expect to be treated as a pushover just for making them work 8 hours.
As Lee Ganghan made a bitter smile.
-Is 8-hour work shifts really that surprising?
-I guess that's how it is in the Goblin industry ㅋㅋ
-Well, when even the chief throws away Goblins calling them useless...
-But can you really make them do such work in the Ten Thousand Demon Battle?
-Heavenly Demon is playing a completely different game alone ㅡㅡ How is this E-rank?
-That's why they say the trait will be taken away soon ㅎㅎ
The viewers once again felt the overpowered nature of the 'Heavenly Demon Constitution' trait.
Not only could he subjugate monsters, but it seemed there was yet another content available.
This was why stories about it being time-limited were continuously popping up.
"......Chiik. Making me bow is to make me belong to Ten Thousand Demon Battle, right?"
"Right."
"I have 2 conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Bowing will be done just this once and that's it."
"Okay."
Once she's subordinated.
Even if she bows next time, it'll only reduce the Heavenly Demon Divine Art's cooldown.
There's no need to particularly make her do it.
"What's the other condition?"
"Chiik...... Let me bring Orcs to your Ten Thousand Demon Battle, like that Goblin Chief."
She wants me to bring Orcs?
'That's welcome from this side.'
The being in front of him who looked like an Elf no matter how you looked at her.
If she brings Orcs here too, Ten Thousand Demon Battle would house 3 races.
Having various races stay would help with Ten Thousand Demon Battle's development.
And it would also help strengthen the Heavenly Demon Constitution.
"Okay. But since I can't communicate with Orcs, you translate and make them bow. Then I'll make them belong to the Ten Thousand Demon Battle."
"I understand. Then...... how should I do it?"
As Lee Ganghan stepped back from on top of the Elf's body.
Swish.
The silver-haired Elf didn't try to run away.
She looked at Lee Ganghan.
Clearly shining red eyes.
Below her face, from the neck area down, bright red tattoos were noticeably drawn.
-Oh, the silver-haired Elf is pretty?
-But what's with all those tattoos on her neck? Why not leave it clean like her face...
-Iron rank is using an Elf as a summon, what a windfall ㄷㄷ
-ㄴㄴ She's an Orc
The Elf who calls herself an Orc.
But no traces of Orc could be found on her face.
As she stared blankly at Lee Ganghan.
Swish.
He gave the Goblin Chief a look.
"Show her an example."
"Yes! Heavenly Demon Eternal! Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate!"
Thud!
The Goblin Chief slammed his head to the ground while shouting loudly.
The Elf watched his actions carefully, then.
"......I'll do it just once as promised."
"Right. I won't make you do it again."
Swish.
She bowed weakly.
"Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate......"
-Why is her voice so quiet like a mosquito ㅋㅋㅋ
-Complete contrast with the Goblin Chief ㅋㅋ
-Loyalty 100 vs Loyalty 0
-Still, getting an Elf summon is worth it ㅇㅇ
The Goblin Chief and Elf were complete opposites.
Still, maybe because he received the bow.
Ding!
A message window appeared before his eyes.
[You have subjugated a 'Named Existence'.]
[The opponent did not submit completely. Heavenly Demon Divine Art is not strengthened.]
[You can register the opponent in Ten Thousand Demon Battle.]
[Do you want to register 'Mixed-blood Elf Karana' in the Ten Thousand Demon Battle? (51/10,000)]
When it was the Goblin Chief, it said he completely subjugated a boss monster and the Heavenly Demon Divine Art duration increased.
But this Elf received the bow through a deal.
So the Heavenly Demon Divine Art wasn't strengthened.
'That aside, if she's mixed-blood...... she must be somehow related to Orcs.'
She looks completely like an Elf, but that's interesting.
Lee Ganghan thought so while.
Pressing 'Yes' to the message asking if he wanted to register her in the Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
Then.
Flaaaash......!
"Ugh......"
The Elf's forehead burst into flames.
Soon, the character for demon 魔 was carved there.
[You have registered 'Mixed-blood Elf Karana' in Ten Thousand Demon Battle.]
"Ten Thousand Demon Battle...... was it like this?"
As if some message window appeared.
Karana was looking into the air.
Flash!
As light flashed from the demon character carved on her forehead.
Swoooosh!
Soon her entire body was sucked into it.
'Let's see if she entered properly.'
Lee Ganghan opened the Ten Thousand Demon Battle function.
***
'It's quite far from the Goblin Territory.'
Ten Thousand Demon Battle, mostly covered in darkness.
Quite far from the Goblin Territory where some settlement was established.
Elf Karana, transformed into an SD character, was looking around her surroundings.
When Lee Ganghan clicked on her.
[Mixed-blood Elf Karana]
[Status: Blind faith, Misconception, Curiosity, Confusion, Recovering......]
Karana's status appeared.
'Blind faith, misconception?'
That probably doesn't mean she has blind faith in Lee Ganghan himself.
Is she calling her belief that she's an 'Orc' blind faith?
That's why misconception is also included.
As Lee Ganghan was making his own speculations.
Swoosh.
[Summon]
[Worship]
[Banish]
Three instructional options appeared below Karana.
Since she said bowing was just this once, even if he pressed worship, she wouldn't do it anyway.
'When I meet Orcs on the upper floor, I'll have to summon her for translation.'
Lee Ganghan thought so and turned off the Ten Thousand Demon Battle function.
"Then I'll go up first, so follow appropriately."
"Yes! Ah, but Heavenly Demon! I'll just......"
Swish.
The Goblin Chief handed Lee Ganghan a piece of gold from his hand.
"It's the gold I mined earlier!"
"The one you dug out from the Orc's body?"
"Yes! I'll offer it to the Heavenly Demon!"
Offering gold obtained from butchering.
If I accept this, can I use it for something?
Lee Ganghan wondered, but still extended his hand.
Swish.
As the gold piece fell onto his hand.
Paaaat......!
The gold was dyed in pure white light and disappeared.
[You acquire 200TP.]
It was converted into TP.
"Oh. I got 200TP?"
"Next time I'll mine more and offer it all to the Heavenly Demon!"
"Right. Good attitude."
It wasn't big money.
But the Goblin Chief's monster butchering was decent as a side income.
-The chief butchered it instantly and earned 260,000 won ㄷㄷ
-If you summon in places with more mobs, it'll be more profitable
-Isn't summoner totally overpowered? The mobs even earn money ㅡㅡ
-It's not that summoner is overpowered, it's that Heavenly Demon is overpowered;
'Next time I should tell him to mine gold from the start.'
Lee Ganghan thought so and went up to the upper floor through the portal.
Then in the middle of this Forest Path.
5 Orcs were guarding the path from the beginning.
'Oh. Good.'
When Lee Ganghan saw this and summoned Karana.
"Chiik......! Did you find them already?"
Karana, wearing her hood again.
Her eyes lit up seeing the Orcs in front of her.
"Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate...... I just need to make them shout that, right? Chiik!"
"Right. Translate and make them do it."
"Got it."
Step, Step.
Karana took the lead.
"Chiik, Chiiiik......!"
She began conversing with the Orcs.
Since 'Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate' also appeared in the conversation.
She was definitely giving them instructions.
However.
"Chiiiik?"
"Grrrr, Grrrr!"
The Orcs listening to Karana's words.
Didn't seem very compliant.
-What are they saying again
-It's so unbalanced seeing Elf and Orc both making chiik sounds ㅋㅋ
-Orc making chiik sounds is fine, but the problem is the Elf making those sounds with that face ㅡㅡ
The viewers couldn't understand what the Orcs were saying.
So they were just gauging the atmosphere.
But Lee Ganghan, who had made Karana belong to Ten Thousand Demon Battle, could now understand their conversation.
-I am Karana, descendant of the Gershu Empire Royal Family, disciple of the Great Sorcerer.
It's an order. Bow to this person saying 'Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate'!
-......What's this Elf saying, is she crazy?
-Get lost, Elf!
When the Goblin Chief persuaded the Goblins before.
At least half followed and half rebelled.
In Karana's case, no one recognized her as an Orc.
Actually, except for speaking Orc language, she doesn't resemble them at all.
"Hey, they seem to be rebelling too?"
"What, what? How did you know?"
"Since I subjugated you, I can understand what you're saying to each other. Hey, I'll just convince them with my fists, so you just threaten them."
"Chiik......! No, that's not possible. Wait a moment! I'll use my method!"
What.
Is she telling me not to use violence against her kinsmen?
So she does have some sense of kinship identity as an Orc.
Lee Ganghan thought so at first.
"Not recognizing me, you lot haven't come to your senses either......"
Swish.
Karana took out a small bell from her sleeve.
Clang, Clang!
She shook it in front of them.
Then.
"What......!"
"My, my body!"
The Orcs' skin instantly turned red.
"Submit! Bow to this person while shouting 'Heavenly Demon Eternal, Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate'!"
When Karana's command fell.
The reddened Orcs began bowing toward Lee Ganghan one by one.
"Heavenly Demon Eternal...... Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate......"
Orcs uttering the promised phrase stammering with soulless voices.
Thus the Orcs were subjugated one by one as Orc#1, Orc#2.
"Grr...... Grrrgrrrr!"
The last Orc who was slowly trying to bow.
His body quickly swelled.
Pop!
He burst immediately.
"Chiik......! Unfortunately, he couldn't carry on the Empire's glory!"
Karana sighed seeing this.
She seemed genuinely sorry for the Orc that burst.
Of course.
'......Didn't she end up making him burst?'
Since she rang the bell and the kids became strange.
The cause of the Orc bursting was ultimately because of Karana.
But she takes that attitude after doing that.
'In some ways, she seems worse than the Goblin Chief.'
Lee Ganghan thought so and said to Karana.
"Then since the Orcs are also subjugated, I'll go clear it now. We've been delayed here too long."
"Chiik...... I understand, Heavenly Demon. The Orcs subordinated to you will revive, right?"
"Yeah. They will."
Lee Ganghan answered so.
And ran at full speed along the Forest Path.
-??? You've been delayed too long?
-Isn't this totally speed gaming today too?
-Heavenly Demon should see how others climb towers and live once ㅡㅡ
-Right, compared to other players, Heavenly Demon is basically shorts videos ㅋㅋ
The viewers were dumbfounded seeing Lee Ganghan say this took too long.
But the person himself was in a hurry.
'This time I need to get SSS+.'
In tower clear evaluations.
How much time it took was also an important factor.
So Lee Ganghan proceeded without hesitation and entered the 10th floor clear portal.
[Calculating Iron Tower No.4 performance.........]
[You cleared the tower within 1 hour.]
[You subdued 10 or more Orcs.]
[You encountered the hidden named character, 'Mixed-blood Elf Karana'.]
[Clear Evaluation - SSS+]
[Clear rewards will be given proportional to the evaluation.]
[Since the evaluation exceeded SSS grade, additional special rewards will be given.]
'Good. I'm back to SSS+.'
As Lee Ganghan was satisfied seeing the evaluation rise to SSS+.
[You have subjugated 'Mixed-blood Elf Karana'.]
[One more option is added to the special rewards.]
'Options?'
Unlike usual.
One more message appeared additionally.
