Legions Grow On My Phone

29 Tue – What He Really Wants (5)

The soul string created by the action of the app was very important to both players and units.

Beyond the dimensional wall, they were able to exert a strong influence on each other, as well as make them eccentric.

Although the unit was weak because one string had to be shared with the other units, the player was different.

In fact, there were players who actively used it with their abilities.

“This…”

[A medium to help the player’s magic. Use it in moments of battle. It is an object that can forget your fear and unleash the potential engraved in your soul]

Cha Ji-yeon received a bounty.

On the surface, it was an ordinary transparent potion.

“I guess you’re thinking of turning us into drug dealers now.”

A strong white man standing next to him snorted.

He, who is a colleague, is also in the same unit as her.

Likewise, he had received a potion.

[The goal is to destroy their stronghold in a short period of time]

The date has already been set.

They were alerted to the recent situation, and together with the coalition forces of various countries that had decided to cooperate, they planned to attack the stronghold of the monsters who were constantly plundering across the gate and into Earth.

“It’s literally a war. After all… I’m sure there’ll be a war with demons.”

“You have to get used to it, Chris. I don’t know how many times it will be repeated.”

“Is it easy to get used to war? It’s not just a defensive battle.”

he snorted.

It wasn’t wrong.

Because Cha Ji-yeon herself was just trying to force her mind.

[It is amazing that souls are connected. That fear, that hesitation. If you know what kind of being you are connected with through the potion, you will be able to overcome them all]

A voice echoed in her head as if she had noticed her anxiety.

‘connect.’

Rather, she disliked the wording.

Although she shares the string with more than a hundred colleagues, it’s as if she’s revealing even her most intimate parts.

[Do you feel it?]

In such a yard, the feeling that unique beings connected by a single string, not normally separated, from each other, felt even stronger.

[What he really wants. Now it will be clear to you]

The Legion, who understood what a soul was, struggled to comprehend the flood of information.

The biggest information pouring out through the string, that is, the connection of souls, was the emotions of the other party.

Especially since it is a single unbroken string.

[He is anxious and afraid. He is afraid of losing something precious and is still blaming himself for being weak. He is so weak… both in body and mind]

The whole corps flinched.

He understood his feelings and inferred the situation he was in.

[Anyway, he is very important to us. Without him we cannot be stronger. He is our parent.]

[So we have to help]

[The method is to become stronger first]

The more he developed, the more meaning he could find out about his actions.

When they finally realized that he had provided food and specimens ‘for them’, the Legion changed their definition.

[He gave us a lot. Conversely, what can we ‘give’ him?]

After continuous thinking, the Legion’s thoughts reached this point.

And as if waiting for that thought, one function was activated.

[I have confirmed your will. I will activate the sacrifice function]

A shining pattern was created in the dark nest.

what to give

The corps flinched as if staring at it, and at first secretly gave up its tentacles.

A small tentacle climbed up on top of the pattern.

[Learn more. Living things cannot be transmitted through the sacrificial function]

Feeling embarrassed that nothing had changed, the tentacles were gently removed.

When the tentacles failed, the Legion tried more.

Various legionnaires, pieces of nests, eggs, etc.

And finally succeeded in sending something.

The light flashed, and the entire pattern on which the object was placed disappeared.

“Ugh.”

Morning. I twisted my body, stretched out, and got up from my seat.

I sat down on the bed with a nightmare.

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to wash my face.

I was tired these days, so my body was heavy, but I grabbed the handle next to the bed and got up with a grunt.

“…handle?”

I flinched for a moment and fumbled about what I was holding in my hand.

Something like a shiny stone next to the bed.

Originally there was no such thing.

“Ahhh!”

I checked it and pounded my buttocks in panic.

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Of course, because what I had only seen on the screen was stuck in front of me.

“What the hell is this?!”

[The Legion has repaid your favor]

I opened the app and shouted.

At the reply that appeared, I lost my mind for a moment.

“This is the answer.”

I pulled it out that had been lodged in the floor of this chartered house.

it was a sword

An object forged and crafted by the Legion in the toughest way of carapace.

[This is an offering to you]

I swallowed dry saliva involuntarily at the sight of the obsidian glittering.

“What happened?”

[…that means the corps has grown that much]

“Is that really all? What the hell was that moth?”

[The moth was kind of a clue. With the clues they got while disassembling and absorbing them, the Legion understood more and grew more. For example, his attacks in the form of flashes had the power to disrupt our ruling system. We conclude that it is a power associated with interfering with our souls]

“How did you grow up that you sent me this?”

I smiled bitterly and took my sword and looked closely.

A kind of whole carapace, it was heavy and sharp.

“But since I’m receiving it like this, I want to give you something more, but I don’t have anything special right now.”

[that is enough. Already… the Legion is receiving a lot]

“Are you getting it?”

Today, his words are meaningful.

First, he hid the sword in the corner.

Kang Do-yeon doesn’t know, but there’s nothing good about being noticed by her mother.

“I don’t know how long this daily life will last.”

I left the room.

Even today, I am starting my daily life like this, but now that I have personally experienced the attack, I am still uneasy.

[As a result of analyzing the specimens of the guardian spirits, the corps discovered a singularity]

“Singularity?”

[In the meantime, I thought I could understand why they were acting strangely. They had artificially imprinted genes]

It was a fresh shock.

If guardian spirits are artificially created creatures.

What the hell is this labyrinth?

“Oh, that’s all?”

[What we know now is that genetic manipulation has been applied. However, the contents of the manipulation can be inferred from the absurd behavior they have shown in the past]

“Who are they?”

[The answer must be above, too]

okay. will be above

The screen turned up.

It was the passage to the next stem.

My heart suddenly pounded.

Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Of course, it may be because it feels like we are getting closer to the secret of the labyrinth.

[The corps begins to assemble again. One of our strengths is that we don’t need rest.]

The Legion deliberately left much of the vegetation on the newly occupied stairs.

It looked different from the past when he ate anything.

It could be food for reserve, or it could be because of the waste of time to digest it.

[There is no guardian spirit. Apparently, everyone died in the last battle.]

It was a boring ending for a tense one.

There was just plain vegetation.

The Legion’s scouts hurriedly spread out, scouring various cavities and passageways.

[Ah, what is this]

But then.

The scouts leading the way seemed to have found something.

“Isn’t it natural at all? If so, what? In this labyrinth, the unnatural ones other than us.”

[Of course, it must be the work of the guardian spirits. It seems that time has passed.]

It was like a kind of ashes collected on one side of the stairway classified as a ‘branch’.

Most have long since been decomposed and rotted by scavengers.

It was the size of a human palm… it was once a vertebrate.

[The degree of damage is such that the genetic sample is unknown. The Legion drew reasonable suspicions based on this information]

“…a unit?”

This is what I knew too.

I found another trace after the rats I met last time.

Perhaps it was just that they had no luck, but they did not develop that much and they seemed to have been annihilated.

“By the way, I don’t know if the mice that ran away last time survived.”

[The fact that we are not in the section we have occupied so far means that we have made a fresh start from a higher place. It may have failed to take off again with a high probability]

“right.”

The guardian spirits, of course, are becoming more diverse and huge, and the level of plants and animals is incomparable to those of the lower classes.

We’ve grown bigger and more advanced than we were back then, and if those mice had fallen to that level, we wouldn’t have been able to survive.

[I need to go higher]

The skepticism only grew.

So, the corps, having had a rough grasp of it, immediately sent the scouts up to the next floor.

It was from there that a faint change was observed.
