237 Too many events—flag management is difficult.
Busy.
That’s because, since sealing the black, countless incidents have unfolded across various locations.
Managing them all is overwhelming.
First, Ogakun descended into the sanctuary, as I predicted, having crossed the mountain range.
Immediately afterward, an exceptionally strong elder challenged Ogakun, and they are currently locked in a life-or-death struggle.
Judging by status values, Ogakun holds a clear advantage, yet the elder maintains superior swordsmanship, deflecting every attack.
How delightful. This elder is exquisite.
I find it regrettable to see him fall here—truly a magnificent elder.
Yet his soul is severely damaged.
His condition is so grave that he may not survive the next reincarnation.
Cannot imagine what would cause such a state.
Holding firm against Orga-kun, but entirely on the defensive—victory seems unlikely.
Here, allow Orga-kun to win. Protect the soul.
A shift occurred at the elven enclave.
A new reincarnated individual has been isolated.
Yet unmistakably different from the others—traces of rigorous training evident.
Clearly under someone's influence.
In fact, I’ve seen this before.
That place—the Divine Word Sect.
Therefore, a spy from the Divine Word Sect.
Must not act rashly now. Must monitor their movements.
Depending on circumstances, may need to target the high-ranking official from the Divine Word Sect who sent this reincarnated individual.
Highly suspicious.
Next, movements from the demon realm.
Also becoming increasingly active.
First, the gang members have formally taken over the Seventh Army.
With it, the deputy commander position in the Fourth Army, previously held by the gang members, became vacant—and Mela took it.
Huh. Surprised.
Mela’s been quietly rising through the ranks in the Fourth Army all along.
Well, she’s been raised alongside a Vampire Child, after all. She’s bound to be far stronger than the average demon.
Her rapid advancement makes sense.
The Demon King hasn’t interfered with Mela’s rise. Her success is purely her own.
That’s genuinely impressive.
Aegner’s situation remains unchanged.
Occasionally setting traps for elves, or spreading information about troublesome demons to have the elves eliminate them.
Still, the elves seem to have sensed the shift in momentum. Their actions have grown increasingly cautious.
It’s best if they stay quiet. But something feels off. They’re scheming. Can’t afford to let down our guard.
I met with the commander of another legion, claiming to be the Demon King’s emissary.
The commander of the Second Legion was… a pair of breasts.
I don’t think I could match that mass weapon.
If I hadn’t heard beforehand that she was of the Succi subspecies, and a legendary beauty, I might’ve instinctively reached for her chest.
First impression was that, but her behavior matched her appearance exactly.
Seductive gestures. A sultry tone.
The archetypal temptress.
Yet, even though she was said to be of the Succi lineage, to me she appeared as nothing more than a demon.
After further research, I learned there was a传说 of Succi ancestry, but she was almost entirely demon by blood.
I suspect her family has trained her since childhood in seductive techniques, shaping her appearance and mannerisms accordingly.
Indeed, her behavior seemed authentic. But upon closer observation, there was an unmistakable air of performance.
In the seductive gestures, hints of calculation—attempting to outmaneuver the opponent—were occasionally visible.
Yet no clear intention to assert dominance was present.
Perhaps, deep down, she’s just a rather serious timid soul.
Hmm... what is it, really?
A bit—no, quite—petty.
Only her figure is impressive. Little reason to remain vigilant.
If even that is performance, then she has already won. But I doubt it is.
She dismisses odd movements swiftly. Left alone, she poses no meaningful threat.
Third Commander—out of the question.
Pacifist. Cowardly.
Yet somehow strong enough to hold command.
Not particularly intelligent either. In practice, the Third Division is led by her subordinates.
And those subordinates—gullible, straightforward types, drawn to her personality.
Typical musclehead.
Wasting energy on vigilance is pointless.
Fifth Division Commander—was he a warrior?
If I said I was the Demon Lord’s emissary, I’d have been welcomed with the highest honors.
When I met him, he enthusiastically declared his devotion—something along the lines of, “I serve the Demon Lord!”
No signs of deception. Not the type to play mind games.
Apparently, his family had decided since childhood that he would serve the Demon Lord. That’s why he turned out this way.
Yet the previous Demon Lord vanished into the clouds—no chance to serve until now. So now he’s excessively fervent.
Is that acceptable?
Hmm.
Well. If his determination to serve the Demon Lord is genuine, then it’s fine.
Sixth Division Commander—was a child.
Apparently, he only recently assumed command.
A prodigy in magic, they say.
Beyond that, nothing is known.
Little time was granted, so the yield from merely seeing the face was negligible.
No suspicious activity at present. Surveillance will continue, so no cause for concern.
Those from the eighth onward are secluded deep within the demon territories and do not emerge; disregard them.
Apparently, it's just a name—nothing resembling an actual army.
Guard only, nothing more.
Treat it as if it does not exist. No issue.
The greatest issue within the Demon Lord's domain is the Vampire Child.
He’s managed to reverse the formation.
What are you doing?
Drinking blood.
What in the world.
The Vampire Child had the audacity to drink from the reverse Hemember's blood.
No, it's not wrong to say he's a vampire.
I didn’t give such an order, though.
The issue had also arisen within the human territories.
The surveillance system across the human territories was finally nearing completion when the master’s presence was detected.
Seems to be attending the academy, then.
Multiple reincarnates appear to be present there.
Only turbulence is anticipated.
