399 Winter Visit, Part 19 - Unknown Battle ① -

"What are you doing, they..."

One observes how Anomaly is doing while simultaneously performing some sort of witchcraft of perception inhibition from the shadows. Whoever it was, it was Minar, Archbishop of Arnelia. February had already passed since he began to stick to the anomaly and observe the behavior.

Normally, it should be hard just to watch anomalies. He not only looks terrible, he smells terrible, and the movement annoys people. Personality itself may not be as irritating to people as Doom, but in terms of offending others, he was far above Doom. Also the madness of the experiments he carried out was roughly beyond Minar's imagination. Minaar himself has made cruel decisions more than once, and not once or twice, nor has he dealt with the anomalous. Even with him, it was clear that Anomaly was an anomaly, no more. To Minar's mind, I wonder if Anomaly's true horror is not its strength, but its thought. In observing him, Minar had come to have the clear idea that the first thing to kill was anomaly.

Minar has observed such a figure for nearly two months by himself. I would say terrible patience. And its latent abilities were also a big thing. Even the earlier lifeless left without noticing any trace of the Minar. This was not the anomaly dull, but the infiltration of the minar perfect.

And he had already identified 10 locations for the workshop. Six places reported. Plus 4 new ones here these days. I contacted them earlier, so I thought I'd find two more reports before I do.

But there are hurry factors for him.

"Fuck, how many of these guys have workshops?"

Minar was in a rare hurry for him. His outlook was that there were about 5-6 workshops at most, and later he thought he was in the process of developing them. That's just about February infiltration, and one new workshop after another. Besides, there are still other possibilities. Minar was gradually becoming unable to hide his frustration that this situation, in which he could not see the full story, was as if to mock himself.

"What to do... I don't care if you keep infiltrating me like this, I don't know what to do. If there is no change in deployment, will we destroy just what we know at the moment? That would also see the regularity of the placement in the undiscovered workshop, and they might start doing something too... no, would it be more troublesome to be used as an opportunity to step up security or dive underground? By and large, how does the workshop itself work? Again, the principle is to do everything at the same time if you're going to attack. Then should the infiltration continue?"

Minar thinks about such things. In the meantime, Minar secretly unleashes a demon of use. His messenger is a monster. His user demons, flying around with little feathers, were ideal for infiltration, eavesdropping, etc. Since we can handle more than a dozen at the same time, Minar himself has a considerable ability to gather information. Speaking of the only drawback, it would be the range of the user demon. I had to sacrifice my range for being able to use my eyesight and hearing to synchronize with all the demons. But Minar himself thought it would not be a minor problem because he was good at latent magic.

That he continued to observe anomalies while still manipulating ten demons at the same time. In addition, I fly outpost substitute user demons behind my back, etc. Furthermore, he thought that he could not find it because he was practicing all the magic he could think about, such as perception inhibition, soundproofing, light refraction, etc. The fact is, Anomaly doesn't even have any indication that she'll notice herself this past February.

After laying down all the defenses, Minar continues to observe. Anomaly, as Elsa reported, had many. In it, when Minar found an individual full of magic, he moved on to monitoring the individual one after the other. Because Minar does not have the ability to distinguish between the main unit and others, he had to decide that those with higher magic power were closer to the main unit. At least, Minar thought he couldn't have created a stronger identity or anything. And the idea was a hit.

As he strained on him that way, Minar saw many touches of the enemy's face. Lifeless, Titania, Bradymaria, Silence, Doom. Orangeables are the only ones I don't see, but other names are also being matched. Dragreo, Hidun, Calamity. And there seemed to be another unnamed one, but no one mentioned him, and no one knew what he was doing. Still, even though the names and characteristics have just been matched, he considers it a good harvest.

There's another thing Minar noticed. They never meant they were close, they were just moving on the orders of the chief, Oranzebul. Then Minar wonders if there's a gap to follow.

"If we don't work well together, we can take the means to break it off and destroy it firmly. Besides, we don't seem to know each other's positions in detail during the mission... and during the individual action, even if we can't manage to destroy them, can't we seal them? There were people who knew how to say that to the Magic Church. I don't know if I can help them, but is that a plan? Why don't you call Tetrastine?"

When Minar left something like a note on a small letter, he transformed the letter into a quadrupedal little hagworm-like creature. The letter, thus transformed into an organism, goes outside at its own will. This is an application of the magic of change, with a transmission bird waiting outside. That's how I went back to the letter at the decree bird, and now the bird carries the dimensions.

Minar has not only contacted the Arnelian Church, but also, in fact, Tetrastine of the Magic Church. Sometimes I just tell Miriazal and Tetrastine. They were all carried out in the extraction of the Minar, and the two supreme bishops too, which was an act of acceptance. Sometimes it is said that Minar's extraction is exquisite and trusted by the two chief executives. However, there was no doubt that the basic philosophy of his actions was all for Arnelia and hence Miriazar. The two Archbishops are still aware of it.

He was in contact with Tetrastine for the Arnelian Church and making his own pipes because he had experience traveling to the Magic Church. There are as many cases in the world as the Magic Church is more suitable for solving. That's how he did it for Miriazal today, while successfully using the Magic Church. But there were very few who understood him, even in the Arnelian Church. It was not a minar that boasted of its own track record and so on again, so I guess it became extra.

That's how Minar tried to continue his observation, and he encountered the most pressing scene of this infiltration. His demon had caught a new man in sight at some point. The man who suddenly falls into sight without even a sign of appearance. The user demon, Yi, stopped at the research table and watched how they were doing.

"Anomaly"

"Whew!?... What, Brother Hidun? Don't threaten me."

"Come on, get used to it, you too. How's work?

"You came here just to say that? You're free."

Blue muscles floated around Hidun's forehead as Anomaly behaved somewhat like a little fool.

"Do you care because you have a lot of problems with your money flow?!? It doesn't matter how much money you have to free up your research!

"Yes, yes, that's true. Speaking of which, I emptied your wallet, too. Angry?"

"Apparently, you really need to be punished."

Anomaly distracted her to swim her eyes as she rose from Hidun to kill herself.

"Was it a snake? It's a very angry day... well, no. It's an achievement with that money for now, but the last time I tried putting in a new demon king on the eastern continent, the results were good. Not all the data is left because Dragreo overflowed, but the surviving Demon King, unlike the previous Demon King, was confirmed dead in a matter of days. Achieve various versatilities with one injection or dosage, but with a short life span. Improvised Demon King, I guess."

"What's your combat capability?

"We have ensured the diversity of species, so they can be used separately according to different circumstances. Combat abilities while alive are no substitute for conventional ones. Well, there's nothing you can do if you get bugged in the process of transformation, but in a situation where all of a sudden the person next to you turns into a demon king, a human being can't chop off a friend's neck, can he? Maybe stronger than the traditional Demon King in that regard. Production costs are cheap and, above all, hassle-free. Wouldn't it change the way you run things with the Demon King so far?

"Hmm. Then the name Demon King might not be appropriate."

"I'll take care of the area. I'm not interested in calling you that. [M] I called the last prototype" Berserker, "but would you consider it under a new name?"

Answer appropriately while Anomaly tidies up her research material. A lot of things are blowing up with the magic that Lifeless left to his anger to unleash earlier.

And when Anomaly gave Hidun some paper, he was reading it with interest. In time, when Hidun had finished reading everything, the paper burned in his hands and disappeared. Hidun speaks to Anomaly with no expression as it is.

"Sometimes it's anomaly."

"Yes, sir?

"You have a loud fly."

"To?"

Hidun stares at the fly on the table. Minar, who had a gaze via the demon of use, was neat, but at that moment Hidun had caught the fly at his fingertips at a rate that could not even be stopped by his eyes. It is a speed of action that humans cannot do.

"(Fast!

"Hmm, you sound like a demon."

"It's small. Remote operation, I guess?

"Well."

Hidun crushed the fly with his fingers as he responded raw to Anomaly's question. And look around you.

"Where's the main body...?

Hidun starts moving slowly. Minar reflexively hid all the demon flies, but at the same time did not fail to observe them. Hidden flies are observing Hidun's movements from four locations.

"(I bet you haven't found it yet... can we just keep doing this?

Minar is assuming this is also the case, and he has secured the means to escape. But I stepped on it not yet time to activate it. There were four entrances and exits in this room, one of which Minar was waiting to sit. Because of the door, he can't capture the anomalies directly, but he's in position to hear the talk faintly.

So Hidun opened the doors one by one and went. The lights in the room also plug into the hallway. There are also lights in the corridor made of rock skin, but not as much as in the room. Hidun opened the doors one by one and checked the hallway,

"Find out from here."

So I said, I left one of them. I could only see how he was getting out of the united use demon, but not in the hallway where I am. The immediate crisis seemed to have left, Minar said, a little less alert. Wasn't that right?
