Do Your Own Revolution-Chapter 151

#151

“Ah~”

Arachne’s monsters were charging forward, having lost all reason.

After watching the monsters being torn to pieces and scattered before her eyes, Irene showed a look of disappointment.

“You fought so desperately to escape from me before, but in the end, you’ve become this stupid?”

How boring.

This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.

How uninteresting.

Muttering thus, Irene turned her gaze to observe the chaotic battlefield’s center.

Clang–!

Alexander, who had lost his reason, was targeting her.

Even the aftershocks of his attacks were sweeping away nearby monsters like autumn leaves.

The shockwaves reached even this distant position.

However, Irene’s eyes remained indifferent as she watched Alexander.

“Now, I don’t even need to use Elcryer anymore.”

Clang-!

Carlos, a monster who was silently enduring Alexander’s relentless attacks.

While a normal monster would have been shattered in one hit, he was deflecting the attacks aimed at him by angling his magical power crystals and carapace.

“Kuaah! Kuaaak–!”

“……..”

During their exchange of attacks.

Carlos, raising the great sword he created from crystal, narrowed his eyes as he observed his opponent.

His enemy who was merely unleashing directionless rage, having lost both reason and intelligence.

Carlos looked at him with what might have been pity before forcefully deflecting Alexander’s sword as it struck head-on.

Clang–!

“Kruk?!”

Alexander, who had left himself open after failing to withstand the impact.

What targeted his exposed chest was a magical power sphere created by Zeplant, another pure-breed monster.

Boom—!

The beam released by Nachtval’s magic imprint struck Alexander’s defenseless body.

The two specimens who had gained countless combat experiences while persistently tracking Arachne.

Their previously clumsy coordination had been honed day by day, and now they had become capable enough to hold back even a superior being like Alexander.

Boom–!

“Kiiiik—!”

The same was true for Irene’s monster corps, which was modeled after Eugene’s Special Magical Power Unit.

The monsters who had been watching the waves of creatures swarming from all directions began to block them with synchronized movements.

Thud–!

The first line raised their shields to block the charging monsters.

What targeted the mass of clustered monsters was the artillery magic from the monsters in the second row.

Boom—!

The secretary general had only given Arachne the simple order to ‘kill her enemies,’ and the monster queen, now an empty shell who had lost her ego, was merely repeating simple attack signals.

The endless war between the two armies beyond the rift.

In that war, Arachne’s army had become far too weak.

And Irene, who had been pursuing her, had become this strong.

Splat-!

The tentacles undulating around Irene deflected the flying pieces of monster flesh.

Looking at the fragments that landed and writhed at her feet, Irene clicked her tongue briefly.

“There are just too many.”

After this short utterance, Irene thought.

What she had devoured were retreating Republic soldiers, humans who had become monsters, and the Republic’s monsters that were used as weapons.

In contrast, the secretary general had turned tens or hundreds of millions of humans into monsters and incorporated them into Arachne’s army.

Irene created monsters from corpses from the start, while Arachne transformed living humans entirely into monsters.

This meant there was a fundamental difference in the quantity of monsters they could create at once.

“In the end, it seems I’ll have to use it.”

Muttering thus, Irene waved her hand with a low sigh.

Whir–

A small rift formed beside Irene.

What emerged from it was a black figure with seven stroke magic imprint carved into his arm.

“My Queen.”

The one who paid respects with these words was the pure-breed monster, ‘Elcryer.’

Seeing the pure-breed monster bow his head toward her, Irene smiled sweetly.

“Arachne’s main body is below. Catch her and bring her to me.”

“As you command.”

Elcryer headed to the battlefield without any questions, just as Alexander did in service of Arachne.

“It’s really reassuring. I wonder if it’s because I made it using my father as material?”

The seven strokes imprint, completely corrupted by Irene, was emitting an unstable light.

Looking at it, which had become notably more refined, Irene couldn’t hide her sense of satisfaction.

“Since I’ve made this much, I’ll be able to do even better next time.”

This child was a practice run.

It was an experimental piece made before creating the ‘real one’ she would gift to Eugene.

There couldn’t be even a single mistake.

Not even the slightest error could be allowed.

More precise.

I must make it more beautiful.

***

“That is…!”

In one corner of the battlefield where countless monsters were entangled.

The Secretary General, watching where Irene stood, muttered with an unusually surprised expression.

“Rather than transplanting magic imprint into a monster’s flesh, she created a monster using magic imprint as the focal point…? And that precision…!”

The secretary general exclaimed in apparent admiration.

Seeing the pure-breed monster ‘Elcryer’ that Irene had brought out, he muttered like a madman.

Ah right, that’s not quite the right comparison.

Not ‘like’ a madman, he really was a crazy bastard.

“Could it be that Black Witch is, like me…?”

The Secretary General continued mumbling incomprehensible things.

I didn’t miss that moment when he was distracted by Irene and the monster.

“Where are you looking?”

“?!”

Boom–!

Multiple [Spear of Mithra] mercilessly shook the secretary general’s body.

“Kheuk?! Kheu…! Ha, hahaha…!”

The secretary general, pushed far back, was breathing heavily.

I immediately bound his limbs with [Chains of Helios] to deliver the next spell.

“Amazing. As expected of a hero personally prepared by the Emperor. Is an artificially connected magic imprint insufficient…?!”

The secretary general, his arms bound, continued to ramble.

My [Domain], deployed in perfect condition, was overwhelming the secretary general’s imprint.

Seeing his magical power fluctuating unstably, I fired three additional magic bullets to charge my magical power.

‘There are still over 30 shots left before overload occurs. The advantage is mine. However…’

Looking around, I thought.

The monsters that kept surrounding me even while exposed to Irene’s army.

The secretary general who kept challenging me to fight despite knowing he would lose.

And that composed attitude that hadn’t disappeared even though defeat was imminent.

‘There must be something.’

To my question about the Secretary General’s plan, Dr. Lavrenti had answered.

That he was approaching ‘awakening.’

That he was preparing to become an omnipotent god at the end of magic.

‘There are too many suspicious points to dismiss this as just a madman’s ravings.’

The inexplicable actions of sacrificing his own citizens.

Combat so reckless it seemed without any strategy.

Without something to rely on, he wouldn’t continue such self-destructive behavior.

‘Continuing battle without knowing the opponent’s true intentions carries too much risk. However…’

At the same time, I recalled the purpose of this war.

A war to completely erase the Republic as a source of trouble and crush the seeds of destruction.

The time when that could be accomplished…

‘Is only now.’

All this war happened because of my choice.

Everyone who died here lost their lives because of the war I started.

All the causes that perished in this story were crushed by my own hands.

For me, turning back and running away was unacceptable.

Since falling into this messed-up world, my purpose has been just one thing: to survive.

And what I’ve done for that hasn’t changed at all from beginning to now.

‘Just keep moving forward, burning everything that stands in the way.’

Rumble—!

Having finished my thoughts, I activated my magic circuit at maximum output.

What appeared before my eyes was a massive fireball burning with red light.

Using that as a core, I began gathering all the magical power scattered by my domain into one place.

Screech–!

Everything around started to melt.

The monster corpses strewn about were turning to ash and disappearing, and even the monsters surrounding me were retreating step by step, unable to withstand the heat.

“?!”

“Oh, that is…!”

The reddened steel beams gradually melted into molten iron, and everything beneath my feet became the center of heat tinged with red.

‘This should be enough to completely finish off the dying Secretary General.’

Whatever he might be plotting behind the scenes.

Having finished my thought, I looked at the secretary general with his inexplicable expression.

“Fire.”

Blast-!

With that brief command, the massive flames stretched forward.

The giant flame.

The fire that melted everything blocking its path finally engulfed the secretary general’s body.

—–!

A pure white flash covered the entire world in view.

Light. Sound. Air.

The flames began to spread in all directions, burning everything around them.

Concentrated Bombardment.

It was an utterly simple spell that converted all gathered magical power into heat and shock.

Kuoooo—-!

When the massive explosion covered heaven and earth, the gazes of the monsters in the midst of battle all turned toward me.

The pure-breed monsters drawing up magical power to defend themselves, and Elcryer protecting Irene from the heat and shock.

An explosion so massive it momentarily stopped the monsters’ war had occurred.

‘Now, how do you plan to respond?’

No matter how powerful Petrenko’s imprint might be, he couldn’t survive taking a spell of this magnitude head-on.

To exaggerate, the Concentrated Bombardment I just fired had power comparable to the heat cannon ‘Ambrosia’ used to kill Colossus.

But at the same time, I couldn’t rashly conclude victory.

This was the heart of enemy territory.

Some form of trap laid by the secretary general must be waiting…!

Tap.

“It is as you thought, Eugene Lorentz.”

“?!”

The moment I felt something grab my shoulder, I immediately turned around.

‘This bastard, he took advantage of when my [Domain] was down due to spell casting…!’

The situation where he struck at the perfect timing.

But at the same time, I couldn’t understand.

Why is this guy here?

Surely, his body should have disappeared in the bombardment.

Why on earth is he behind me…!

“A fully unleashed seven stroke imprint, countless sacrifices surrounding us, and even the spirit of ‘Indomitable’ emanating from a hero who has made their resolution!”

“…?!”

I looked at the Secretary General’s form.

The Secretary General who gripped my shoulder with his right hand while wearing a grotesque smile.

On his right arm, where Petrenko’s imprint should have been, a magic imprint of a completely different form was emitting light.

One I’d never seen before.

Yet at the same time, a seven strokes magic imprint that emitted a wavelength similar to my [Wings of Crimson].

“Three out of five imprints. Not perfect, but not insufficient either.”

“You bastard, what nonsense are you…!”

“Congratulations, Eugene. This battle is your victory.”

Looking at me gritting my teeth, the Secretary General showed a triumphant smile.

“And at the same time, it’s the completion of my plan.”

Crack-!

“?!”

The secretary general’s hand that grabbed me transformed into a grotesque shape and instantly spread across my body.

An eerie foreign sensation burrowing into my shoulder.

At the same time as I felt this dizzying sensation, my body stopped moving against my will.

“Confine him.”

Thud-!

Along with the secretary general’s voice, something that sprung from the ground covered everything around.

My vision rapidly turning black.

Through the gaps, what I saw last was…

“…Irene?”

“Don’t worry, Eugene.”

It was Irene, showing a bright smile as she looked in my direction.

“Everything will be fine.”
