Episode 621. How an old man can destroy a great power (1)
Disguise or cosplay.
There is probably no more effective way to deceive your enemy than to change your appearance.
Because the existing information was completely changed.
‘It’s really incredible.’
Jinhyuk looked at himself in the mirror once again.
A bushy beard and deep wrinkles.
His flushed cheeks gave him the unmistakable appearance of a Northern European drunkard.
The ‘Lupin the Thief’s Disguise Set’ and ‘Human Face Mask’ skills that I purchased from the coin exchange in advance have played their part.
In addition, I sprayed perfume that masks the ‘scent of magic’, so unless you’re a god you’ve met so many times, like Belial or Anubis, you won’t notice.
Right then.
“Move quickly, you rascals. Get to the temporary shelter quickly.”
“Get your ass up before I twist that ball off!”
The demon soldiers following Asura shouted at the prisoners.
It looked like it could be cut down at any moment.
They were called prisoners of war. From the perspective of the soldiers, they were nothing more than losers who had cowardly thrown away their honor to save their lives in war.
“Tch! I’ll just kill them all. Why on earth would they keep these guys around?”
“I can’t help it since they’re calling me a slave or something. Just do whatever you say.”
-Don’t kill the ones you catch, but gather them. After brainwashing them with mental magic, they will be deployed in battle against the enemy. Or at least, they will be used as labor to dig up the valley and build a stronghold, so you must never touch them.
Brahma’s stubborn directive to pursue ultimate efficiency.
Even the most selfish of the evil spirits could not directly go against those words.
But I don’t think he told us not to use appropriate violence.
“You snails. Let me show you a bitter taste.”
“Once the skin is peeled off, it will move quickly on its own.”
It was at that moment that the disgruntled soldiers were about to swing their whips.
“… … ?”
“What is that smell?”
Suddenly, a fragrant smell from where the prisoners were tickled my nose.
The smell of food.
It was also something of a kind I had never experienced before.
gulp….
Without realizing it, drool flowed down my throat.
For warriors, food was simply something to supplement nutrition and satisfy hunger.
I thought that the sense of taste called ‘delicious’ was a luxury and completely useless.
however.
That common sense has completely collapsed from this moment on.
The soldiers moved forward, drawn by the smell without even realizing it.
It was a common behavior that was not limited to just one or two people, but was exhibited by everyone in the area.
That’s where we arrived.
There was an old man there, sweating profusely, cooking.
Bubble bubble.
Appetizing meat boiling in a pot.
The stew containing various vegetables and seasonings stimulated every cell in my body.
“Oh my!”
Jinhyuk looked startled as he looked at the monsters.
Then he bowed and stopped cooking.
“You shabby person… no, how did your nobleness come to such a shabby place?”
“Hey, old man. Did you make that?”
“Yes? Oh… Is this what you mean? Yes, yes. I have some cooking skills, even though I am a little humble. So I was in charge of cooking at the union.”
“Hoo.”
“But it looks like it’s not just a bunch of idiots gathered here.”
“It might be useful.”
The monsters stared intently at the pot, wiping saliva from the corners of their mouths.
They’re just holding back for the sake of saving face. If they hadn’t been watching, they would’ve rushed at each other and banged their heads in the pot.
To that extent, my appetite was touching my sense of reason.
“If you don’t mind, would you like to try it? You have been so merciful in saving our lives, and I would like to return the favor, even if it is only a small amount. No, please, if you could try my humble cooking just once, I would consider it an honor for the rest of my life.”
“Ahem! Well, if that’s the reason… .”
Now that you’ve given me a proper excuse, there’s no reason to refuse anymore.
A monster reluctantly approached and scooped up the ladle.
And the moment the food goes down the esophagus through the mouth.
“… … !!!!????”
His grim face froze as if he had been struck by lightning.
Bam.
The ladle he was holding fell to the floor.
“Could it be poison?”
“This old man…!”
Sreung!
Clank!

All sorts of weapons were being pulled out here and there.
But the attack was stopped abruptly by the sight that followed.
I saw a tear run down the cheek of the demon who had eaten the food.
“Ugh….”
A feeling of heartache.
A very long time ago. The very same taste I tasted in the distant past that I can no longer even remember.
Ah, this is the taste that ‘Mother’ made.
“I’m glad I’m alive… and that I can eat this food.”
The monster grabbed the meat in a large pot with both hands, afraid that someone would steal it from him.
“I, I want to eat too.”
“Me first!”
“Get out of the way! I, the company commander, am telling you to eat what’s left over!”
“How much is this amount…!”
The monsters each ate their food in a hurry and then froze as if they were speechless.
at the same time.
[The song plays.]
A verse of song echoed along the valley.
‘When Mom goes to dig for oysters in the shade of the island…’
‘… … The child is left alone to watch the house.’
A sad tone and hazy lyrics.
‘The sea tells me~’
‘To the lullaby… .’
The duet of cooking and singing made the witches’ fighting spirit disappear like a lie.
It is now.
Jinhyuk lightly rolled his feet twice.
Bam! Bam!
That was the signal.
[10-star barrier ‘Emotional Torrential’ is activated!]
A gentle wave engulfed this area.
There were several reasons for choosing this valley as a battlefield, but one of the reasons was that the terrain was so rugged and rich in natural energy that it was extremely easy to activate a 10-star or higher grand strategy.
It can easily compensate for the shortcomings of wide-area barriers, which require complicated preparation and take a long time.
“Ugh… .”
“Ugh… .”
The monsters’ pupils slowly dilated.
As their minds disintegrated, they were reborn as puppets that now obey orders.
‘There’s no need to fight fair against enemies who have a lot of supplies.’
Slowly destroy your enemies from within.
That was the most sure and effective way.
More than anything.
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned to the sky.
[Copy Condition: A monster that is obsessed with battle and killing. If you can awaken a childlike heart in them after living a bloody life for hundreds of years, you will be able to copy one of their unique abilities and skills.]
The biggest thing was achieving the copy conditions.
‘It’s a good start.’
In order to destroy Asura and the other gods of the heavens, you must gather several abilities, and the first of these is to learn ‘Yogi’.
[Copying was successful!]
[Yosuhwa]
Difficulty of acquisition: SS
Content: You will be able to use the unique magic of the Yosu tribe, and depending on your skill level, you can change the size of the magic.
[Copied abilities are stored in the ‘World’s Memory’.]
Kukukukuku!
Green energy slowly rose up along Jinhyuk’s body.
It was still awkward and weak, but it was clearly the ‘spirit’ unique to the monsters.
***
About 3 hours later.
The outcome of the war gradually became apparent.
“Shiva has joined the war. Odin and Athena have fled, and Eden and the Demon Realm are also holed up in their strongholds, struggling to defend themselves.”
“It is said that even in modern times, gates continue to appear and unilaterally push the human side!”
“Thor and Hercules, the most troublesome of the enemies, are thought to have suffered serious injuries in the battle with Asura and will not be seen for some time.”
The news was dominated by big victories.
and.
Among them, there were some minor bits of bad news mixed in.
“Arjuna and his 10,000 divine soldiers who went towards Santra Cave have lost contact.”
“The 20,000-strong force that went to Neunggeuranmun Mountain also lost its magical power response just now.”
“The information gap is growing too large on the demons’ side. No matter how far away they are… this is beyond the expected range.”
“Well, it can’t be helped if we lose a few heroes of mythology. The monsters are quite self-willed after all.”
Ganesha waved his hand as if it was nothing.
The reactions of the other gods were similar to Ganesha’s.
Clearly… the overall flow of the war is overwhelmingly favorable.
Even if minor damages continue, they are small in scale, less than 1% of the entire millennium.
On the other hand, this side defeated the enemy’s main force, the Olympian and Northern European armies, and took nearly 200,000 prisoners.
But why?
Brahma did not think that this war would end so easily.
‘According to the information, Kang Jin-hyeok is a man who has always achieved victory in unfavorable situations.’
A single blow that catches the opponent off guard.
They counterattacked by creating an opening in the arrogance that they would win completely.
‘There’s no way it’ll end with just getting beaten up.’
It may be that the one-sided push up until now was all calculated.
Finding out what it is is a top priority.
Brahma’s eyes narrowed.
This is the point that is most overlooked.
And his head quickly turned to figure out what Jinhyuk’s plan was.
Then suddenly, something occurred to me.
‘Captive….’
It is natural that prisoners of war are created in war.
the problem is….
The number of prisoners taken was overwhelmingly greater than the number of enemies killed.
If you think back to the first time when he attacked so aggressively, it makes no sense.
Especially, does it really make sense for the Nordics, who believe in Valhalla, to simply give up fighting and surrender?
“no way….”
Did you get caught on purpose?
To infiltrate this place. And through that, to stab its heart with a knife.
If we assume that, then everything makes sense.
It was just then.
“Lord Ganesha. The Asura side has captured the enemy’s main force by their demons. I would like to meet you in person and conduct a handover…”
“You’re annoying. Why can’t you just let it go?”
“That… he said that in order to make sure of the lesson, we must meet in person.”
Before this incident, the monsters who had been at odds with Cheon Se wanted to record even the smallest thing and gain recognition.
Because there is no trust between them, they have no choice but to be stubborn.
“Fuck. Where did you say it was?”
“It’s about 30 minutes away. Can we send you to the main camp?”
“Okay, I understand.”
Ganesha nodded without any doubt.
‘That was it.’
Brahma bit his lips tightly.
The soldiers who are losing contact here and there are actually brainwashed by Jinhyeok. Through that, he disguises himself and his main followers as prisoners and infiltrates deep into the main camp.
If you come in like that and launch a surprise attack on this side while they are letting their guard down… .
‘From our point of view, we’re intoxicated by consecutive victories, so this is an inevitable defeat.’
It’s a perfect operation.
Just one.
If I didn’t have this body to read it.
Brahma called his personal guard without saying a word to Ganesha.
I didn’t want to give hints to the other person by informing the clueless elephant.
Then, I pretended to be completely trapped.
‘I’ll dig an even bigger trap and wait for you.’
Thirty minutes was enough time to prepare a rash.
Fantasy, games,
