A Demon Lord Lives in the Kingdom 2

The Archbishop subtly narrowed his brow, wondering why the Dragon Lord cursed every time he opened his mouth.

‘Well, that must be why the Dragon Lord’s name is Rated-R,’ he mused.

At first, he hadn’t understood why it was Rated-R.

He didn’t even know what “Rated-R” meant.

Even when he asked the Dragon Lord, he only got the response, “Don’t ask, you son of a bitch.” He wouldn’t tell him.

Even after getting his ass kicked by me, the bastard still curses.

But he didn’t want to ask him again.

That didn’t mean his curiosity was satisfied. He was even more curious. What on earth does Rated-R mean?

He secretly asked the Dragon Lord’s guardians.

“What does the Dragon Lord’s name mean? Did the Dragon Lord’s parents give him that name?”

The guardians were startled and waved their hands.

“We don’t know. Don’t ask us. Something terrible will happen if you try to find out about the name.”

“Why?”

“The Dragon Lord hates his name.”

Why on earth?

Why won’t anyone tell him what the Dragon Lord’s name means?

He’s really curious.

Every time he meets the Dragon Lord, his curiosity only grows. But it seems difficult to hear the story from the Dragon Lord’s mouth.

That son of a bitch…….

Last time he asked, he got a preemptive strike and thought his eyeball was going to burst.

After fighting him again, one of the Stone Head Church branches disappeared without a trace.

Oh, what a waste.

“What’s it to you what my name is, you son of a bitch? I’ll split your head in half and suck out your brain.”

Ah, really annoying.

Hearing that dragon’s curse makes him feel uncomfortable. Let’s just not ask about the meaning of Rated-R. It’s better to be comfortable.

“Your plan is to take over the Eastern Continent and then strike the Free Alliance of the Western Continent, right?”

“That’s right.”

“After integrating all the kingdoms in the West and East, you plan to take over the weaker Southern and Northern Continents in order.”

“You know it well.”

“Your plan is going smoothly. Among the eight kingdoms and one empire of the Eastern Continent… the empire and five kingdoms have fallen.”

“That’s very good news.”

“The remaining kingdoms are Baroque, Neck House, and Stopbi Kingdom. They won’t last long either. Thanks to your scheme, the empire stirred things up on its own.”

“There are 800,000 imperial troops left, right?”

“That’s right. They’re probably hastily retreating by now, not even knowing that the empire’s capital has disappeared completely.”

The Archbishop had witnessed the dragons firing their breath all at once.

Its power was beyond imagination.

Over a million citizens evaporated in an instant.

Even the Archbishop felt goosebumps all over his body. He had made the dragons kneel one by one.

But if they had gathered together and fired their breath, could he have stopped them?

Honestly, he couldn’t guarantee it.

He is not complete.

Maybe if he were complete…

In his incomplete state, he wasn’t confident he could withstand hundreds of dragon breaths.

“The Western, Southern, and Northern Continents still remain. We need to conserve our strength as much as possible.”

“I agree. The potential of humans is not to be underestimated. I’ve watched how human civilizations develop. Humans have never lost their dominance since I was born. They are cruel but also very outstanding creatures. Surely, many variables will pop out from all directions.”

“Hmm.”

The Archbishop smiled knowingly, as if he understood. In his eyes, humans are not a significant threat.

He still didn’t feel that there was anything threatening.

But the reason he was being as cautious as possible was because of an unknown sense of unease.

It could be because he wasn’t complete. Nevertheless, the sense of unease was so clear that he couldn’t ignore it.

“Shall we continue to advance the undead army?”

The number of undead created as five kingdoms fell was close to a million.

The scary thing about the undead is that they continue to evolve.

In the past, Koneli and Berimor of the Neck House Kingdom summoned an undead army.

All of them were secretly taught summoning magic by the Stone Head Church.

Of course, the spell was taught after downgrading it.

The undead that are sweeping through the Eastern Continent now are, without exaggeration, the essence of the Stone Head Church’s summoning magic.

Almost all the dead who died recently have been resurrected.

The evolution of the dead.

Thoughts are coalescing and being reborn as stronger undead.

Dark Knights and Dullahan [headless horsemen], who are like grim reapers to humans, are only 4th-grade undead.

3rd-grade undead: Predatory Beasts, Soul Reavers, Dark Angels, etc.

2nd-grade undead: Bone Dragons, Dark Towers, Moving Continents, etc.

1st-grade undead: Dark Phoenix, Hell Shark, Eight Thousand Demon Emperors, etc.

Currently, they were in the state of evolving from 4th grade to 3rd grade. Even 3rd-grade undead are comparable to 7-star warriors.

No, the danger is much higher.

Soul Reavers, for example, absorb the souls of all humans within a 100-meter radius in an instant.

In other words, unless you are as skilled as a Soul Reaver, you can steal the souls of all living beings, no matter who they are. Then the advantage of numbers completely disappears.

Such terrifying monsters were being born in large numbers.

If they evolve from 3rd grade to 2nd grade, it would be no exaggeration to say that the Eastern Continent would be destroyed.

Hundreds of Bone Dragons, 1000-meter-high Dark Towers made of corpses’ bones and cadaveric poison, and Moving Continents formed by agglomerated evil spirits could not be stopped by human abilities.

What if the evolution of the undead reaches its peak and moves to 1st grade?

Perhaps the Archbishop’s aim is this, the Dragon Lord thought.

The ultimate evolution of the undead.

The undead belonging to the 1st grade had god-like abilities.

They should not belong in the human realm.

If not the human realm?

Why create god-level undead?

There was only one conclusion.

The dimensional war.

That was the beginning of Armageddon.

The man with black hair and a playful expression in front of him was trying to do something ridiculous.

He is the Dragon Lord who has lived for 12,000 years.

He sometimes flickers, but he doesn’t have dementia. He can still work as an active duty.

He was bored for a long time…….

Good.

The Dragon Lord was excited.

He was feeling a thrill for the first time since he was born. So many races are going extinct?

Who cares.

What he wanted was a new world order.

“Let’s do sparrow hunting.”

“Sparrow hunting?”

“Yes. There are still 800,000 imperial troops left. We have to kill them all. It’s a waste to just kill them, so we have to kill them with resentment.”

“Hmm, not bad. How?”

“Drive them into the remaining three kingdoms. Then they’ll fight each other with resentment. Then advance the undead army. Absorb all the evil of humans.”

“A 2nd-grade undead will be born. It’s been about 2,000 years since I’ve seen one.”

“Has it been that long?”

“Yes, it’s not easy to see evolved undead. Humans are afraid of the evolution of the undead. They block the evolution of the undead in advance.”

“It’s still far away. We still have to proceed with the final evolution of the undead.”

“It’s never easy. To create a god-level undead, at least millions of lives must die.”

“Not millions.”

“Then?”

“Hundreds of millions.”

“Are you going to wipe out the seeds of the continent?”

“Well, what about it? It’s just a land full of trash.”

The Archbishop smiled brightly as he looked at the Dragon Lord.

It was then.

Knock knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door urgently. The only people who could knock on the Archbishop’s office were limited.

A personal servant.

Or a personal follower.

Or bishops.

The only people who could knock on the door so urgently were the bishops.

The Archbishop asked in a slightly raised voice.

“What’s going on?”

-Things have gone a little wrong. I think you should come and see.

* * *

There are two organizations.

One is strong but stupid.

The other is weak but knows everything about the opponent.

They fight.

Then who will be more advantageous?

If you’re not an idiot, you’ll know that the organization with a lot of information is more advantageous.

Legion has long known the importance of information.

He doesn’t gather information to wage war. Since he was young, he had many life-threatening experiences, so he instinctively gathered information about the other party to protect himself.

The same was true now.

Since the battle in the Vampire Kingdom, he has been constantly updating information about the Stone Head Church.

Through Gibbs’ information guild, which is the most active in the Legion Territory, and Emon’s information guild, which can be said to be a nationwide organization.

Frankly speaking, it was no exaggeration to say that there was no organization that could escape the eyes of these two guilds.

Almost all the stores in the territory were members of the Gibbs Information Guild.

It was no exaggeration to say that the merchants belonged to the information guild.

Almost all the stores in the city of Las Vegas and the maritime city of CM were members of Emon’s information guild.

It was never easy to operate an independent organization while avoiding their eyes.

And Legion knew the branches of the Stone Head Church that had taken root there.

If the war hadn’t started, it wouldn’t matter, but now that the war had started, he couldn’t leave them alone.

Information about this side would flow to that side as it is.

Silkeut even said this.

“Why don’t you leave them alone? Instead, send reverse information.”

At first, he thought about doing that.

But the followers of the Stone Head Church were too dangerous.

What if crazy followers spread large-scale poison gas or large-scale epidemics in the city?

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of citizens could lose their lives.

So Legion thought.

Let’s block their information instead.

If each other blocks information, they have to be very careful. He also aimed for the effect of preventing their advance speed.

Information beyond the border is extremely limited.

Vide has been continuously dispatching drones equipped with CCTV [closed-circuit television] magic tools, but the number is too small.

And their power was too strong.

Legion returned to the territory for now.

Baserabap and John Wick, who had not yet gone to battle, had not yet returned, but there was no time to wait.

He left a message to the king saying, “I’ll be back soon,” and returned to the territory with all his forces.

At the same time, he began expanding the base where the Battleship could dock.

He also recruited a large number of air force soldiers to operate the Battleship.

Many young people applied to the air force because the salary was quite high.

Legion Engineering Research Institute.

It is a research institute that studies Golems, with Vide as the director and Lulu as the deputy director.

Originally, Vide had no knowledge of Golems, but he innovatively developed the technology by acquiring an ancient weapon, a humanoid Golem.

Legion let out a shallow exclamation as he looked at the humanoid Golem in front of him.

“I can’t tell the difference between it and a human?”

“Hehe, amazing, right?”

“Yeah, amazing. What is the Golem for?”

“You know the humanoid Golem T-1000, right?”

“I know.”

The T-1000 is an early model that was modified from a humanoid Golem excavated from an ancient dungeon.

In terms of martial power, it is 5-star, but the efficiency is much higher.

Once charged, it can move for almost 48 hours without resting. Furthermore, since it can be equipped with various weapons, it boasts overwhelming firepower in large-scale battles.

It’s not the end.

Because it has very high mobility, a unit operated by the T-1000 can show more destructive power than a tank unit.

“If that’s the 1st generation model, this is the 3rd generation model.”

“3rd generation? Where did the 2nd generation go?”

“This one is much better than the 2nd generation model. The gap between the 2nd and 3rd generations is narrow, so we mass-produced these.”

“What is the level of martial power?”

“If we simply discuss it in terms of martial power, it’s early 6-star.”

If it’s early 6-star martial power, it’s not bad.

“But it’s expensive.”

“Expensive?”

“With the money to make 100 T-1000s, you can only make one of these.”

“What?”

What nonsense is this? There’s no efficiency at all. Then how much does one of these cost?

“Hehehe. I can see it all on your face.”

“What?”

“You’re dying because you’re wasting money, right?”

“Well, a little.”

“But you’ll be surprised when you see this. The 3rd generation humanoid Golem cannot be judged simply by martial power. First of all, individual missions can be assigned due to artificial intelligence.”

“And.”

“Cut it.”

“Huh?”

“Cut it.”

“With a knife?”

“Whether you cut it with a knife, a mana blade, or an aura. Cut it anyway.”

Legion tilted his head and raised his hand. A colorful aura naturally rose from his palm. Then he slashed the 3rd generation humanoid Golem.

Moment-

The upper and lower body split in half. The cut upper body fell to the floor…….

Powder!

It shattered like water.

“Huh?”
